Chapter 326: Showing off his might
Cangzhou Xinggong is a place that Little Peanut will never forget in his life. It was by holding the eldest prince hostage that Xian Yunhe and others were able to occupy this place and tell the heavens about the situation in Cangzhou, which was originally covered by death. And he also witnessed a desperate fight for each other's fate here. If it weren't for Zhu Tingfang falling from the sky, then Xian Yunhe might have killed Xu Cheng.
If Xian Yunhe really killed Xu Cheng, the commander of Changlu County, he might feel happy at the time, but there would be no way to make up for it afterwards, Xian Yunhe, who he respected and trusted the most, would definitely die, and these accomplices who followed the big case would at least kill dozens or hundreds of people.
Therefore, when he stepped into the palace behind Zhang Shou and the others, he saw that no one interrogated him, a follower-like boy, and no one dared to search his body.
If it weren't for their luck this time, it was Zhu Tingfang who came down from the capital first to calm down the situation, Uncle Yunhe was hit with an arrow in his hand, but he was not beheaded on the ground to show the public, in order to set an example. If Zhang Shou hadn't patiently listened to what he had to say, Zhu Ying even called her uncle to find human and physical evidence, maybe those rich and unkind people would have been able to continue to be free.
But what if you haven't met such a nobleman? He doesn't have to be interrogated and searched in the palace, but I'm afraid that he is already dead! Why is the world divided into three, six, nine and so on, and why does Uncle Yunhe have to almost go to a dead end?
Just as the little peanut became more and more resentful the more he thought about it, and the more indignant he became, the slower his steps became, he suddenly felt a hand pressing on his shoulder, and when he looked again, it was an old salted fish. The old man smiled at him, and then said meaningfully: "Think about the good side of everything, don't get into the horns." Yunhe, that kid will be very happy if you know that you are doing well. β
Little Peanut's eyes suddenly turned red, and he whispered, "But I should have been locked up with him and others......
"Don't be stupid! Emperor Taizu said that when the youth is strong, the country is strong, so I hope to put it on the child. Yunhe, it doesn't matter if they die and go to prison at their age, of course you have to let a child like you survive well. β
The old salted fish habitually burst out his quotations from Emperor Taizu, and when he found that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying in front of him did not look back, Ah Liu seemed to be talking to Zhu Er and didn't pay attention to him, as for the rest of the guards, he thought to himself that they couldn't be so rich in associative ability, so he was relieved. For some reason, he always felt that he had been mentioning Emperor Taizu more and more recently.
So, he simply hooked Xiao Peanut's shoulders and said in a serious tone: "Dr. Zhang knows but doesn't want to make a noise, but he still takes care of you, you just remember the kindness of others in your heart...... By the way, does the eldest prince recognize you? β
He recognized it...... That's weird! Little Peanut was embarrassed, and then whispered, "Uncle Yunhe doesn't know where he learned the craft, I don't know how much fat powder and messy things are smeared on my face, and when I look in the mirror, I almost don't recognize myself, let alone the eldest prince!" At that time, he was stupefied when he saw the girl in the mirror......
"That's good, that's good." The old salted fish was very satisfied with Xiao Peanut's answer, and patted him on the shoulder considerately again, "You know, that eldest lady came to see the eldest prince today, obviously to show off her might, let's follow her, listen more, watch more, talk less, just watch." "Seeing the eldest prince being choked half to death, isn't he also able to let out a bad breath?
Although he didn't look back, but at such a distance, Zhang Shou actually didn't miss a word of the conversation between the old salted fish and the little peanut, the old and the young. At this time, he heard the old salted fish say that Zhu Ying was here to show off his martial arts today, and he couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady next to him.
"Are you going to see the eldest prince show off his martial arts first?"
"yes, to say that I don't want to see his face is just an excuse!" Zhu Ying frowned sullenly, and then said helplessly, "But I can't say that I actually came to borrow the small kitchen in the palace, so I have to go and see that unlucky ghost first!" Look at his depressed appearance, I can eat one more bowl when I go back to eat! β
You're taking the pain of the eldest prince as a meal, I didn't understand it wrong, did I?
Zhang Shou smiled dumbly, but in the end he still did not object to Zhu Ying's suggestion. Since they entered the door under the pretext of visiting the eldest prince and interrogating criminals, they naturally had to go to the place where the eldest prince lived first.
It was the first time he came to Cangzhou Palace, and so did Zhu Ying, but Zhu Er was dragged by the old salted fish in the name of the righteous army, and Xiao Peanut was quite familiar with this place, so when he entered the door, he asked where the eldest prince lived, and they didn't need others to lead the way, so they found the place directly. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Ying saw that there were only two guards guarding her, so she couldn't help but look at them twice.
And the two guards came down from the capital with Du Heng and Zhang Shou this time, and at this time, Zhu Ying looked at her like this, and they found out that she was a woman dressed as a man, and they were immediately extremely uncomfortable. can come side by side with Zhang Shou and talk and laugh without taboo...... Is there anyone else besides the legendary Zhang Shou's fiancΓ©e, Miss Zhu of the Zhao State Mansion?
As for how did people come about...... They don't care, Zhu Tingfang, the person who is the big brother, is still in Cangzhou!
Zhu Ying also found that the two of them were very nervous when they saw her, but she raised her eyebrows at the moment, and asked with a smile: "What, did Commander Du send the two of you on duty?" What about inside? How many people are there waiting for the eldest prince? β
As a person from the Rui Cavalry Battalion, of course he knew that Miss Zhu and the second prince of the eldest prince had always been at odds, so one of them simply said honestly: "The eldest prince is alone in it." Originally, as soon as Commander Du arrived, he assigned four people to take care of his daily life, so as not to transfer those Cangzhou locals, because the eldest prince behaved inappropriately, and what happened again, but the eldest prince ......"
He paused, but the other guard was a little young and vigorous, and he knew that none of the people in front of him had any friendship with the eldest princeβit would be almost the same to say that there was a feudβso he immediately picked up the conversation.
"The eldest prince has been used to calling and hugging in the past, but now he has just escaped from the hands of those chaotic people, and there is no one left around him - whether it is a servant or a guard, he has fallen into the prince's crime, what can he do if he doesn't wait for the crime? But Du commanded the envoy to go to three groups of twelve people one after another, and all of them were raised by him. Later, Commander Du sent a message and only sent someone to deliver three meals! β
"Hehe, the two brothers are really the same, they only knew when the tiger fell in Pingyang, and they usually knew how to play majestic!"
Zhu Ying chuckled, and then asked with interest: "Then what if he thinks that your Commander Du deliberately mistreats him, so he deliberately skips eating?" β
The guard didn't have much respect for Du Heng, the commander of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, and when he heard Zhu Ying ask, he didn't have any intention of helping others hide it, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince did not want to eat at first, but Commander Du said that since it was not to taste...... Love to eat or not! I heard that Commander Du recorded the menus of the three meals a day, and then presented everything to the emperor. β
Zhang Shou suddenly sighed. Du Heng was originally a temperamental person, and the eldest prince had already made a fuss about radically changing the good people, and he still regarded himself as the future prince who could not be beaten...... Or even the future Son of Heaven? Who eats you this set!
Although Zhu Ying didn't have much of a good impression of Du Heng, she couldn't help laughing when she heard that people were governing the eldest prince like this at this time: "Commander Du makes this trick good, but it's a pity that none of the people around the eldest prince dare to learn, all of them are dogs who only know how to show loyalty, if there are more tough and powerful people, he may be a little self-aware...... Ah Shou, let's go in! β
Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying was greeting himself in her mouth, but she was rushing away quickly, knowing that she was excited to see the joke of the eldest prince, so he followed unhurriedly.
As for Zhu Er, he even let the old salted fish and the little peanut in front, and he hid behind him sneakily, and made up his mind to keep silent today and never make a sound.
If the eldest prince knew, he would be tricked into breaking with Xu Cheng, the commander of Changlu County, pinching his nose and denying that Xian Yunhe and others were the culprits of the chaos, and he would definitely be regarded as a thorn in the flesh when he turned around, he was not as iron-hearted as Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou, nor was he as fearless of slander as the eldest brother.
However, Zhu Er, who was walking more and more slowly, unexpectedly felt a hand on his shoulder, first struck a spirit, and then realized that there was only one person left behind him, and quickly shouted flatteringly: "Sixth brother...... Sixth Master! People are scary, but they are scared to death! β
"Didn't you tell the young master before that if you were born in the Warring States, you must be a peerless Zongheng family?" Ah Liu made a rare joke, and when he saw Zhu Er, he suddenly glanced at him resentfully, but he couldn't help but drag someone forward, and then said casually as he walked, "There is the eldest lady and the young master together, and the eldest prince has no time to pay attention to others." β
That's right, but Zhu Er still couldn't help but feel a sense of anger at being ignored and despised. However, when he reached the open door of the room, he was wondering why it was so quiet when he heard the angry roar of the great prince.
"Zhu Ying, no matter how unlucky I am, I won't be able to see you in the fun! You roll, take your man and roll away, I don't want to see you! β
",? This is the palace, not your home, you can't even count half of the master, or the emperor made an exception, you could only live here before, but you are a prestige, and you really regard the palace as your own territory? Zhu Ying was not forgiving at all, and sneered at each other without giving an inch, "If you don't want to see me, get out of here, the emperor asked me to bring you a message and let you go back to Beijing!" β
Zhang Shou behind Zhu Ying spent all his time watching the excitement, while the old salted fish was dancing with his eyebrows, and he couldn't agree with Zhu Ying's style anymore. And Xiao Peanut also felt very relieved when he heard Zhu Ying's roll word to go back to Beijing to fight back against the eldest prince.
And the eldest prince didn't expect that Zhu Ying not only didn't save a little face for herself, but instead took out her father to suppress herself. With a blue face, he said viciously: "Ridiculous! Since my father sent Zhu Tingfang down, what kind of edict is naturally passed on by him, do you dare to falsely pass on the holy decree? This is a great rebellious felony! β
"This time I came to Cangzhou, the eldest brother is the vanguard, Ah Shou is the Chinese army, as for me, I am in the formation."
Zhu Ying ignored the intimidation of the eldest prince at all, from childhood to adulthood, the eldest prince's lust was too strong, and she really saw a lot. Slowly replied, she said angrily: "If you don't believe it, then continue to pestle here, anyway, I will send someone to send a message to the emperor." It's a shame that you took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Jiangnan before, and I want you to really go to Jiangnan...... Hehe! β
Although Zhu Ying did not say what would happen if he provoked civil unrest in Jiangnan, the eldest prince was still annoyed and angry.
He suddenly forgot about his current situation, and pounced in a rage. But he didn't touch the corner of Zhu Ying's clothes at all, and his lower abdomen suddenly received a heavy blow. He squatted down in pain, and the whole person curled up together, only to feel that the acid in his stomach was about to come out, and his eyes were full of Venus.
Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his scalp. When he looked up, he was shocked to find that Zhu Ying was actually pulling his hair and forcing him to raise his head. He was so angry that he hated to kill this vicious and cruel woman, but his siblings did not listen to his command at all.
"Want to hit me? Hehe, you don't follow your own virtues, from childhood to adulthood, when have you ever beaten me? β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er, who was hanging at the end, couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead, and added in his heart that he had been trained by his eldest brother for a while, and now he had been trained by Ah Liu for a while, but even so, it was impossible to beat Zhu Ying, not to mention that Cheng Tian only knew how to learn power and tried to win the eldest prince of the East Palace through gathering and solicitation?
"Yingying, okay, the eldest prince just said the wrong thing." Zhang Shou stepped forward and patted Zhu Ying's shoulder gently, emphasizing the three words of the wrong word. Seeing the eldest prince staring at him resentfully, he said with a smile, "Great prince, Cangzhou is not a good place, you stay here alone, it doesn't taste good, right?" In that case, why not go back to Beijing according to the holy will? β
"I'm not going back!" The eldest prince seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and he burst out four words with a hard heart.
If he goes back like this, he will be a lost dog, and he will definitely be laughed at by his damn second brother!
"Oh, does the eldest prince want to have the courage to take responsibility, at least make a little political achievement, and then leave Cangzhou?"
Zhang Shou didn't have to think about it at all to know what the eldest prince had in mind, and when he saw that people's eyes were flickering, he didn't dare to look at him, so he said lightly, "Just last night, Xu Weng, a famous man in Cangzhou, took a group of people to sue those big families who had been complicit with you. The days of their lawlessness in Cangzhou are coming to an end, and if you want to say that you have been deceived and neglected, it is not unavoidable. β
Without waiting for the eldest prince to show his joy, he smiled and said, "But do you think others will believe it?" It's like when you angrily scolded Xu Cheng and those big families in front of people for deceiving you, and kept saying that Xian Yunhe and others were righteous people. But as soon as General Zhu arrived, I heard that you immediately shouted that you were being threatened and begged him to make decisions for you? Your rebellious deeds, Cangzhou City has long been spread! β
Speaking of this, he saw that the eldest prince's face suddenly turned like ashes, so he said word by word: "Stay in Cangzhou, you can't do anything, it's better to go back to Beijing as soon as possible." At the very least, there are many officials in the capital who support you and will wash away your stigma, don't you think? β
