According to normal circumstances, when a person is captured alive, there is no need to kill him or her.

But after knowing Hou Zijian's identity, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose to silence him.

Hearing the old man's question, Zhu Ying did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment before replying: "My grandson thinks that grandpa does not want to involve the Wei Suo in this matter."

It sounds a bit confusing, but it's true.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly to express his approval, but Zhu Yunwen on the side was a little confused.

However, he had no intention of interrupting. It was normal for his head to be unable to keep up in front of his eldest brother and grandpa Huang.

"Da Sun, please explain the key points carefully and see if they are the same as what we are thinking." Zhu Yuanzhang then asked.

Zhu Ying heard the words and continued: "Now, because of the death of the four commanders of the guard station, some people are panicking. At this time, Qianhu, who is said to have assassinated the guard station, suddenly appears, which will inevitably cause an uproar and even cause people to panic.

Chance."

"It is very likely that rumors will be spread at this time to cause trouble, saying that the imperial court framed the officers of the guard station, and even spread rumors that they would attack the guard station and rectify it."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, that's it."

"Although Hou Zijian is trying to assassinate us, with his temperament, it is obvious that he is not the person behind the scenes. He is just a poor guy who was deceived."

"This guy can drive thousands of families to lead assassinations. He obviously has a high status. If he is kept alive, his identity will be known, and he will even have the opportunity to find out some of the contents of the interrogation."

"Now that there is no corroborating evidence, this case becomes confusing and has no clue. The person who can drive thousands of households must be a military officer. Now that he has no identity, the civil servants are naturally suspected."

Poor Zhu Yunwen, after hearing this, he finally understood why Grandpa Huang, the eldest brother, thought it would be better to silence him.

After being silenced, the people behind the scenes naturally did not blame the actions of the military attache of the Guard, and the subsequent plans were completely useless.

And if he wanted to forcibly designate the assassin to be the military attaché of the Guard, then there would be clues and signs.

Only then did Zhu Yunwen sadly realize that he, his eldest brother and Grandpa Huang were not thinking at the same level at all.

What planning is, he really saw it today.

Just a seemingly abnormal behavior like silence, but there are so many twists and turns hidden in it.

After returning to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly ordered Jiang Yu to secretly monitor the noble generals in the capital.

The news of His Majesty's assassination soon began to spread throughout the capital.

....

Duke's Mansion of Liang Kingdom.

Of course, it is impossible to say who should be the first to bear the blame. Naturally, it is Sapphire.

"Your superiors won't have any doubts about coming to my place."

Lan Yu murmured to herself.

It's been a long time since he used the title "Shangshang".

When the Ming Dynasty was just founded, people such as Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others called Zhu Yuanzhang not "Your Majesty" but "Superior".

"Shangshang" refers to them, the first group of Huaixi nobles. Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it meant sitting in the chief seat when drinking. Over time, it became their nickname for Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is also a more private and affectionate name for Zhu Yuanzhang, a founding hero who belongs to Huaixi nobles.

However, as the earliest followers such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun passed away one after another, and with the emergence of Hu Weiyong, the number of people who were qualified to call Zhu Yuanzhang the superior gradually became increasingly rare.

This makes the title seem a bit unique.

Originally, Lan Yu didn't think so much about it, but after the Duke of Liang was changed to the Duke of Liang, he learned a lesson and called himself Your Majesty from now on.

"Sir, the previous assassination of the capital commander and the current assassination of His Majesty are most likely the result of the same person."

"Master, why don't you go talk to Di Yusen and see what progress the eucalyptus has made."

"Now His Majesty's side, Long Yan, is furious. If we get the news about the murderer first at this time, we can naturally get out of the predicament."

The old housekeeper thought for a long time, and then said to Lan Yu.

When Lan Yu heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Uncle Shan, what you said is quite reasonable. Okay, I'll go ask Di Yusen and see what the situation is now."

After saying that, Lan Yu set off immediately.

Jing County Chengfu.

At this moment, the aroma in the courtyard is fragrant. This is the aroma of chicken soup.

"Husband, this is an old hen that I went to the market to buy. You have worked really hard during this period and need to be replenished."

In the lobby, Qin Lixue served Di Yusen chicken soup and said with a smile.

When Di Yusen heard this, he sighed and said, "Now His Highness the Grand Sun has entrusted me with an important task, but almost half a month has passed, and there is still no news about the person behind the scenes."

"Today I heard that Your Majesty took His Royal Highness the Grandson and three of the Emperor's grandsons on a trip yesterday, but they were assassinated."

"Fortunately, the Jin Yiwei arrived in time, so the assassin was not able to succeed at all. During the morning court, both His Majesty and His Highness Taisun appeared in the Fengtian Palace safe and sound."

"I suspect that the person who assassinated Your Majesty is the murderer who murdered the four commanders of the capital."

Qin Lixue asked with some confusion: "If that's the case, then the murderer has been executed, can your case be considered settled?"

Di Yusen shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The Ministry of Punishment did not say that the case was over. Besides, I guess that the people behind the scenes are extremely cautious and will never carry out the assassination themselves."

"So the real culprit is still at large."

"His Royal Highness Taisun has not come here with an order, so I can only continue to investigate."

After hearing this, Qin Lixue said with some complaints: "These days, you go out early and come back late every day, and you can't see anyone. Today, you finally got home to have something to eat, so you are talking about eucalyptus."

"Let me tell you, if you take two days' rest and recuperate your energy for a while, then you can conduct a better investigation."

"Besides, have you found anything in the past few days?"

Hearing his wife's question, Di Yusen said helplessly: "I have set my sights on the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, but there is no military attache who can hold the position in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army who is not of a higher rank than me."

"Whenever I'm in a good mood, I'll say a few words to me. But when I'm in a bad mood, I can't even get in."

Qin Lixue said: "Don't you have the command talisman of His Highness the Grand Sun? How dare they not let you in?"

Di Yusen said helplessly: "What can I do if I get in? He won't cooperate. Besides, seeing people with His Highness the Grand Sun's talisman every day gives me the feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger, and I feel uncomfortable with it."

Qin Lixue said with some complaints: "You can't ask here, you can't ask there, so how are you going to investigate? This capital is really much more troublesome than Pingyang Mansion."

Di Yusen was also a little annoyed: "The capital is not as good as Pingyang Mansion. There are too many dignitaries here. Even if they are looking at His Highness Taisun's sign, there are many people who cater to him on the surface, but in fact they are dismissive."

"For example, the Huaixi nobles, those who either followed the southern and northern wars, or His Highness the Grand Sun, sometimes have to show courtesy."

Qin Lixue put down the kuaizi and said, "Then what else are you checking for?"

Di Yusen waved his hands and said nothing.

After the meal, Qin Lixue quickly cleared away the bowls.

Even after becoming an official in the capital, Qin Lixue could not bear the wages of servants. The Chengxian Mansion in the capital was not a small one, but Qin Lixue chose to take care of it himself.

In her words, the children of Jianghu have not lived the life of ladies since they were young, and they are not so particular.

I was impoverished before, but now that my salary has increased, I have to keep money with me in case something unexpected happens and I need money urgently.

This capital city is good, but it's also too good.

Qin Lixue was so scared that she didn't dare to go out.

The main reason is that there are too many attractive goods on the streets. The first time I went shopping, I spent half a month's salary of Di Yusen before I knew it.

It wasn't until I got home that I didn't notice the problem. Di Yusen came back in the evening and saw that he had purchased so many supplies, so he asked casually, and Qin Lixue realized it.

That's when.

Di Yusen was checking various files, and while Qin Lixue was washing the dishes, there was a knock on the door.

Di Yusen frowned slightly, his thoughts disturbed.

"You keep looking, I'll open the door and see who it is."

Qin Lixue rinsed it off and hurried over to open the door.

The formation at the door startled Qin Lixue.

I saw in front of me a burly man dressed as a nobleman, followed by several sergeants.

'My husband must have committed some crime, right?'

With this thought in mind, he asked with a smile on his face: "What are you guys doing?"

Lan Yu smiled and said, "The Prime Minister of Jing County is at home."

Qin Lixue immediately replied: "He's not here. He left yesterday and didn't come back today. I don't know what you have to ask him to do. I will convey it to him when he comes back."

Hearing this, Lan Yu felt a little strange.

Because he had just gone to the county government office, and the people at the county government office said that Di Yusen had gone home. Could it be that it was such an unlucky coincidence that he went out again?

Looking at the woman in front of her, Lan Yu clasped her fists and bowed: "My lord, Lan Yu, you must be the wife of the county magistrate of Jing County. When the county magistrate comes back, please let me know that I have something important to do to see him."

Lan Yu came here to ask for something.
