As soon as Shen Baigong left, several people jumped down from the second floor of the rice shop. They immediately opened the door of the rice shop and carried the sedan inside.
Zhu Tianjiang was very emotional. Shen Baigong was not related to him, nor was he a member of his inner circle. To be able to let him go so righteously meant how much pressure he had to bear. Zhu Daguan didn't know that Shen Baigong had already
He has been treated as a 'god'. Even if it were Chu Yun, he might not be able to let Zhu Tianjiang go. But Shen Baigong dared to do this because he believed that the idol he worshiped would be blessed by God.
Fortunately, it was someone from the Department of Punishment who met Zhu Tianjiang. If it had been someone from the garrison camp, Zhu Tianjiang would have been doomed. At this moment, the balance of luck once again favored Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Jiyinlou has many businesses in the capital, and this rice shop is just one of the inconspicuous shops. Zhu Tianjiang is much safer hiding here than hiding in the big accounting room.
In the dark night, the officers and soldiers outside did not calm down because they could not find Zhu Tianjiang. Especially the Xiaoqi battalion troops led by Hai Dongsheng chased Zhu Yi and Xia Qing's carriage around half of the capital. Zhu Yi and Xia Qing kept following the instructions.
Running along the city wall, they just avoided the roadblocks on the streets in the center of the capital. Hai Dongsheng deliberately let them go and pursued them at a slower speed. Hai Dongsheng was the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion.
Never dare to overtake. Even in the chase, the team must maintain a complete formation. However, no matter how fast it is, the distance will eventually get closer and closer.
Zhu Yi and Xia Qing looked back and realized that the team behind them had not released their full strength.
"Zhu Yi, sir, you should get out by another route. General Hai is giving us face, and we can't make others look bad. Get out." Xia Qing said from the other side of the carriage.
"Okay, we will climb over the city wall overnight and go south to meet you in Pengcheng as planned."
After Zhu Yi finished speaking, he continued to say to the brother who was driving the car, "Brother, you run away first at the corner ahead. Xia Qing and I will lead away the pursuers behind us."
"Two adults, take care on your journey!" The brother driving the carriage is Zhu Er's secret agent who stayed in the city. His mission is to continue collecting information in the capital, so he cannot follow Zhu Yi and Xia Qing out of the city.
Xia Qing looked back, pressed the back of the horse with one hand, and suddenly it flew into the air and landed on the cart. Xia Qing took the reins and began to drive the cart.
When the carriage came to a bend, the brother jumped forward, rolled on the ground, and ran swishing along the side road.
Not long after turning the corner, Hai Dongsheng noticed that the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Moreover, there was no one on the horses on both sides of the carriage. Hai Dongsheng was startled and immediately thought of a possibility, that is, there was no Zhu Tian in the carriage.
Jiang. Zhu Yi and Xia Qing deliberately lured people to chase them. At this time, they may have abandoned the car and left.
Thinking of this, Hai Dongsheng waved his riding whip and immediately sped up. The Xiaoqi battalion quickly caught up with the carriage, and a school captain flew up and stopped the galloping horses.
The sergeants cheered and surrounded the carriage. After some inspection, the captain came to Hai Dongsheng.
"Report to your lord, there is no one in the car and the guilty party has escaped."
Hai Dongsheng pretended to dismount and check, and then said with a straight face, "Come here, inform the city gate that no one is allowed to leave the city. You will divide into three teams and continue to search for the whereabouts of the guilty minister Zhu Tianjiang."
After Hai Dongsheng finished giving his orders, he took four of his own soldiers and ran towards the palace on horseback. Since he was not caught, he had to go back and recover his life.
The city gate at the head of the palace was wide open, and Emperor Chengwu and Xuanle were sitting in the Qian Palace, waiting for news from various people.
Until the fourth watch, people from all walks of life came to Qian Palace to report to Emperor Chengwu. The person who came to the sticky pole was not Wei Zhan, but the ### envoy Geng Biao. Knowing that Wei Zhan was injured, Emperor Chengwu couldn't help but eat a meal Surprised. He knew that Lin Feng was very good at martial arts back then, but he didn't expect that even after living in seclusion for so many years, his martial arts had not deteriorated at all. Emperor Cheng Wu did not blame him for the failure in sticking to the pole, but instead quickly ordered the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Wei Zhan.
When Shen Baigong, Hai Dongsheng, the garrison camp, and Bron came to report, they did not enjoy the treatment of Wei Zhan. These people were scolded so bloody by Emperor Cheng Wu that they almost didn't reprimand them on the spot.
Emperor Chengwu immediately issued an edict, ordering that the city gates should not be opened for these days, and the entire city was searching for the whereabouts of the criminal minister Zhu Tianjiang and the rebellious daughter Xiaoqi.
Xuan Le's face was cold, and he didn't say a word above Qian Palace. What Xuan Le trusted most now was his own team. After leaving Qian Palace, Xuan Le immediately rushed to Xiyuan.
Emperor Chengwu, who had been busy most of the night, also canceled the morning court meeting the next day. However, before Emperor Chengwu could sleep for two hours, he was awakened by the noise outside the palace.
"Who dares to make noise outside my palace!" Emperor Chengwu sat up and shouted angrily.
Hearing the shouting, Wei Zhenghai ran in in a panic, "Back to the emperor, Prince Jing Qiansui and young prince Xuanzhu want to meet the emperor, and I can't stop them."
Emperor Chengwu's head swelled when he heard this. No need to ask, he knew that his brother and son were here to intercede. Emperor Chengwu knew that if he didn't see him, Prince Jing might really dare to rush in with the whip. .
"Tell them to wait, I will change my clothes right now." Emperor Chengwu rubbed Yintang and said helplessly.
When Wei Zhenghai heard this, he ran away quickly. Just now, Prince Jing was so angry that he almost picked up the whip and whipped him.
After a while, Emperor Chengwu finished dressing up and walked out listlessly. Both Prince Jing and Xuanzhu's eyes were red, and it seemed that neither of them had slept at all that night.
"Brother, please see the emperor~!"
"My son, please pay homage to your father~!"
"Excuse me. Do you want me to be quiet? If something goes wrong with my dragon body, I'll see what you do." Emperor Chengwu angrily sat down on the Zen chair.
Prince Jing and Xuan Zhu showed off their pretense, but neither of them seemed to hear what Emperor Cheng Wu said.
Seeing Emperor Chengwu sitting down, King Jing stepped forward and said, "Brother, I think what happened last night was inappropriate. Even if Zhu Tianjiang has rebellious intentions, what does this have to do with Guo Tianxin? Could it be that , just because they are friends of the father-in-law, should they be eradicated together with the Guo family? If so, wouldn't my younger brother also be implicated?"
As soon as King Jing finished speaking, Xuanzhu also said, "Father, Hong Baichao, the steward of the Zhu Mansion, is Xiaoqing's biological father. Everyone in the Hong family was implicated last night and was blocked by his sons. If they are also guilty, where are they? I am willing to accept the punishment on my behalf."
Emperor Chengwu was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He slapped the table and stood up, "You guys, do you still think of me as the emperor's brother and father in your eyes? Are you going to kill me for the sake of Zhu Tianjiang, a criminal minister?" Are you ignoring Dafeng? Prince Jing, let me ask you, once Guo Tianxin uses his authority to launch the Zhennan mutiny, who can stop it?"
"Brother, the Guo family has been loyal for generations. I can guarantee that Guo Tianxin will not do this."
"You guarantee it? If he really does this, it will be a bloody matter. Can you guarantee it?"
"Brother, have you ever thought about it. Just a few days after Mrs. Guo passed away, you raised a sharp knife against the Guo family. This will make many ministers feel chilled. Since you came to power, you have always been benevolent in the world, but in this matter
"Sir, you have to destroy the word 'Benevolence' with your own hands." Prince Jing argued vigorously, knowing that no one in the Dafeng Dynasty could protect the Guo family except Prince Jing.
Emperor Chengwu's face was extremely gloomy. From his standpoint, Guo Tianxin could never let go. He even said that he had to kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, as long as Guo Tianxin lives for one day, Zhennan's military morale will not be stable. No one can
A bird cannot fly without its head. Only by cutting through the mess with a sharp knife can the thoughts of the officers and soldiers of Zhennan be cut off. Without Guo Tianxin, the Zhennan camp will have no spiritual support for the talents sent by the court to take over. Otherwise, as long as Guo Tianxin
If you send a message, these people may rise up.
"Prince Jing, needless to say, I still have many things to deal with. For the servants of the Guo Mansion, for the sake of the old lady, I can be merciful and not hold accountable, but Guo Tianxin must die. As for the people of the Hong family,
, since you want to raise Xuanzhu, just keep it, my father has no time to worry about it. However, if you dare to help Zhu Tianjiang like that damn girl Xiao Qi, then don’t blame my father for being ruthless."
Although Emperor Chengwu said this to Xuanzhu, Prince Jing understood that he was also trying to beat him up. Prince Jing wanted to say a few words for Guo Tianxin, but Emperor Chengwu flicked his sleeves and several eunuchs forced themselves to attack Prince Jing.
Fighted out.
Emperor Chengwu was depressed and sleepy. Empress Rong had been banned from leaving his palace. Throughout the morning, there was still no news about Zhu Tianjiang from all walks of life in the city. Not only that, Prince Jing actually held a whip belt to beat the king.
With the officials of the clan's mansion, he forcibly took Guo Tianxin from the sky prison back to his clan's prison. According to King Jing's words, even if he had to be executed, he would take good care of Guo Tianxin in these two days, which would be regarded as repaying the old lady's many years.
of favor.
Emperor Chengwu had no choice. He knew that if Prince Jing really started to act up, he couldn't put his younger brother who had helped him all his life into prison.
After a long day, the sky gradually darkened. In the empty Zhu Mansion, Lin Feng held an iron box in one hand and slowly walked towards the back wall. Tonight, he was going to meet Emperor Cheng Wu, forcing him to
