My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Blood Splatter Five Steps

Zhu Jin and the others were silent, still not knowing what kind of medicine Zhang Anshi sold in the gourd.

But at this moment, there was a sudden bang.

The earth shook.

It is at least 500 steps away from Shenjiazhuang, but I can still feel the sound like thunder.

In the distance...a cloud of fire and smoke rises.

All of a sudden, Zhu Jin's mind was buzzing. You know, he has been shocked several times in the past two months, and today is the third time.

Damn it...they really dare to do anything!

Subconsciously... Zhu Jin felt his knees go soft again.

Immediately, he slapped and knelt directly at Zhang Anshi's feet: "My lord is really amazing."

Other stewards and businessmen, their faces were ashen, and they bowed down one after another: "Little...I admire you so much..."

Their only thought is that this person is not easy to mess with, he is just a lunatic who can do anything!

Of course, the most important thing is that the background of the other party is really unpredictable, so I dare not offend him.

Zhang Anshi was only smiling at this moment, but kept silent.

At this time, the entire Shenjiazhuang is in chaos.

The nearby county government also seemed to be alarmed.

Soon, from Wucheng Bingmasi to Yingtianfu, and even Jinyiwei's Tiqi began to appear.

This matter is very serious, so serious that it cannot be ended at all.

Then... an official from Yingtian Mansion appeared at Shen's house, and immediately after that, this person took a horse and hurried to the East Palace.

Someone in Tianfu asked to see the prince.

Zhu Gaochi was very surprised when he heard Ying Tianfu.

Although he is the prince, occasionally Zhu Di would ask him about his views on major national affairs, but after all, the prince cannot handle the details in person, and Zhu Gaochi will try his best to put aside relations with the people of Ying Tianfu in order to avoid suspicion.

Now suddenly a person named Zhou Jing who claimed to be the Prime Minister of Yingtian Mansion came to visit, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help frowning slightly, but still called him.

"I... have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Jing is the Fu Cheng, equivalent to the assistant officer of Ying Tian Fu Yin.

Zhu Gaochi looked casual, and said, "Why is Duke Zhou here?"

Zhou Jing looked at the **** next to the prince vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, can you take a step to speak."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi felt that the matter was very strange. He collected himself and felt that he should listen first before speaking.

So he stood up and led the people to a small hall beside him.

This small hall is the hunting house of the Eastern Palace, which is relatively remote. It mainly displays some bows and arrows, as well as some fur goods from hunting.

Zhu Di loves hunting, but Zhu Gaochi is not keen on it. He just wants to please Zhu Di, so Zhu Gaochi will follow suit.

After entering, Zhu Gaochi turned his back to Zhou Jing, his eyes fell on the sparrow painting bow hanging on the wall, and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, Zhou Jingcai said: "Your Highness, just now, someone blew up Qixia Shenzhuang."

"Which Shen family?"

"In the Song Dynasty, there were two jinshi from one school, and most of their descendants were officials. In the Yuan Dynasty, they were even included in the court class. In my Ming Dynasty, the Qixia Shen family was also well-known."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi became surprised: "His ancestor was the Shen family who had annotated "Shangshu Xinyi". Who did this kind of family get bombed?"

"I received the report, and immediately rushed to the Shen family to check. The inside was in a mess, and half of the village was about to be burned. Fourteen people were killed or injured, most of them were guards. Your Highness... this Shen family... is a famous family. The noble family... I found out that the gunpowder used by the murderer was the same as the gunpowder used against Han Wangwei Baihu last time. Due to the great power, the entire Shen family is left with ruins, it is very miserable."

Zhu Gaochi listened, and said: "Is it related to the three evil spirits in the capital?"

"Exactly, I also found out that the three culprits in the capital were only released today...and...the minister also heard that it was...Cheng Enbo Zhang Anshi...the minister asked one person...and said that Cheng Enbo was nearby Haunted, that person...was very frightened, because he had seen Cheng Enbo before, so he recognized him."

Zhu Gaochi's heart went cold when he heard this.

He looked at Zhou Jing, and hurriedly said: "Apart from him, does anyone else know?"

Zhou Jingdao: "When I inquired, I felt something strange, so I dismissed the left and right. As for the person who inquired, I gave him some money, sent him away, and told him not to speak out. As for the others... I asked the guards to investigate carefully, but there is no other clue."

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief: "You've done a good job."

After hearing the crown prince's praise, Zhou Jing laughed, and then said: "However... I have come here, but I have some good advice."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Say it."

"His Royal Highness, this son of Uncle Cheng En... is indeed not a good man. If he dares to do such a big thing today, His Royal Highness will be implicated one day sooner or later. Your Majesty has great expectations for His Highness, but once he learns that His Royal Highness indulges his relatives If you do anything wrong, I'm afraid you will be greatly disappointed."

Zhu Gaochi frowned: "How do you want me?"

Zhou Jingdao: "Although no outsiders know about this matter now, there is no guarantee that the matter will not be leaked in the future. At that time, how will His Highness the Crown Prince deal with himself? Your Majesty hates evil like a vengeful enemy, and if you know that His Highness conceals and protects you, how disappointed you will be. "

After a pause, Zhou Jing said again: "So my suggestion is that Your Highness should take advantage of this time to expose Zhang Anshi. In this way, since he has completely separated from Zhang Anshi, even if he causes any troubles in the future, he will be with His Highness." Nothing to do."

"Your Highness is a rare benevolent and virtuous prince in the world. The hopes of thousands of subjects rest on His Highness. Your Highness must not cause disaster because of a little Zhang Anshi."

As he spoke, Zhou Jing carefully observed Zhu Gaochi's face.

Obviously, he came to seek refuge.

Although he is just a small Fucheng, the dignified prince will never look at him more than usual.

But this time is an opportunity. On the one hand, he has the evidence of Zhang Anshi's crime, but hides it. This is tantamount to giving His Royal Highness a meeting gift.

On the other hand, he made a bitter statement, and hoped that His Royal Highness would take this opportunity to expose Zhang Anshi, so as to show his wisdom.

After all... there is a hidden danger of instability around the prince, which is tantamount to adding many variables to the future competition for reserves.

He believed that the crown prince might accept his suggestion. After all, compared with a little wife and brother, the throne is more important.

You know, in the past dynasties, how many princes and grandchildren have killed each other for the throne, father and son, and brothers.

As long as the prince takes the suggestion and pleads guilty to the emperor, he will have the initiative. Instead of implicating the prince because of Zhang Anshi, the emperor will think that the prince is upright and has no selfish thoughts.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked back at Zhou Jing in surprise: "Do you want me to do this?"

Zhou Jingdao: "Everyone in the world hopes His Highness will do this."

Zhu Gaochi read: "People in the world..."

"Your Highness, you should not stop, and you will be disturbed by it. Please think again, Your Highness..."

Zhu Gaochi pondered and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just... I ask you, really... No one else in the world knows about this?"

Zhou Jing said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, I acted meticulously. As soon as I arrived at the place, I started to investigate thoroughly, even before Jin Yiwei..."

Here he said...

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi, whose back was turned to him, suddenly turned around with that fat body.

At the same time, Zhu Gaochi held an iron arrow drawn from the quiver in the hunting room in his hand.

The iron arrow was held tightly by Zhu Gaochi like a dagger.

The next moment, Zhu Gaochi raised the iron arrow high, and when Zhou Jing was still bending over, the sharp blade of the arrow pierced fiercely into Zhou Jing's side neck.

"Uh...uh..." Zhou Jing opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhu Gaochi in disbelief.

He didn't see any ferocity and anger on Zhu Gaochi's face.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was full of fear and timidity.

Zhu Gaochi was still holding the arrow shaft, his hands were shaking desperately.

"His... Your Highness..."

Zhu Gaochi's face was pale.

The arrow pierced down, and all his courage was exhausted.

When he saw the blood, his courage suddenly vanished, replaced by... a convulsion in his stomach that was about to vomit, and fear.

He killed.

First kill.

Zhu Gaochi is a kind person. Although Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beiping when Zhu Di was in trouble, he was besieged by the army and horses of the imperial court. People said that he led the army to guard and defended Beiping as solid as gold.

But in fact, he has been protected all the time, and there are countless soldiers who stay in Beiping to serve him. Even his biological mother, Empress Xu, personally drapes on the tower to guard the city.

Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, stayed in the Beiping Palace instead, only responsible for logistics and scheduling.

Now... is Zhu Gaochi's first time to kill someone, so close, he clearly saw the pain and distortion on Zhou Jing's face.

I saw blood start to ooze from the arrow cluster's wound.

Zhu Gaochi showed fear on his face, and slumped down on the ground.

At this moment, Zhou Jing had also collapsed, his body was still twitching and wriggling, he was spitting out blood, and breathing heavily, mixed with his unwilling voice: "His... Your Highness... why... why..."

Zhu Gaochi, whose face was bloodless, just wanted to vomit. He slumped on the ground and kicked his legs desperately, as if he wanted to kick Zhou Jing's body away, but soon... he found that Zhou Jing was not dead.

So Zhu Gaochi restrained the fear in his heart, almost like a dog crawling, slowly crawled towards Zhou Jing, then grasped the shaft of the arrow with both hands, and pulled it back fiercely.

The arrow is pulled out.

Blood arrows also sprayed out.

Zhu Gaochi didn't feel relaxed, he just looked at Zhou Jing on the ground blankly, looking at the blood all over his body.

vomit... vomit...

Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and vomited filth from his mouth.

Blood and filthy smell mixed together.
