Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 754 Zhang Fengnian Returns to Zhu Han

"Your Majesty, now that you know who the real murderer is, why don't you take action now?"

Ge Rong really couldn't figure it out.

Since they already have so much information, they should be able to investigate it all quickly with absolute advantage.

But I didn't expect so many problems to arise and make a big fuss about it.

Rumors were spreading throughout Yingtian Prefecture, affecting Zhu Han's business.

Now is a good time to strike back, why would Zhu Han miss this opportunity.

Zhu Han looked at Ge Rong meaningfully, and told him about the two most important forces in Yingtian Prefecture, asking him to pay more attention to them in the future.

"Your Majesty has always been very concerned about the Crown Prince's affairs. I'm sure you are aware of this, but there must be someone who is always looking for trouble."

"It is inevitable that there will be many accidents, but in fact, if we start from the key points, we can see it clearly."

"Yingtian Prefecture does not turn a blind eye to such things."

Zhu Han told Ge Rong that Zhu Di had always wanted to raise his status to a higher level.

This is completely evidence of his coveting the position of Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince places more importance on brotherhood.

This led to Zhu Di making a big fuss about it every time, including Wang An's injury.

Zhu Han did not pursue the matter later.

This grudge has been recorded, and he will definitely make Zhu Di pay the price in the future.

"So you can offend anyone in Yingtian Prefecture, but don't offend His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Even I am afraid of his methods."

Ge Rong's heart skipped a beat, he had always admired Zhu Han.

But he didn't expect that there was someone in the mansion that Zhu Han was afraid of.

Now the forces in various places have gradually begun to expand.

If even Zhu Han can't handle this situation, I'm afraid there will be more crises in the future.

Fortunately, they already have a solution.

"I have memorized everything the prince said."

Zhu Han was very satisfied, so he asked Ge Rong to go with He Fengyu to take care of the business in the store. He had other things to arrange now.

After Ge Rong left, Zhu Han sat in the study and continued to read the letter Gao Fei wrote to him.

It is not a good thing that Zhang Fengnian is kidnapped now.

However... we can follow the clues and find out which force in Yingtian Prefecture dares to commit such a crime in Yingtian Prefecture in such a high-sounding manner.

When Zhu Han was studying, the housekeeper suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"Your Highness, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple requests to see you."

Zhu Han put the letter away, stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door and saw the butler, he frowned slightly.

He didn't have much interaction with the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. This man usually kept to himself, so why did he come to his house today?

This is strange.

"Lord Li is here, so please invite him in. I happen to have something to ask Lord Li today."

Zhu Han told the butler not to let him go and to take the Junior Official of the Dali Temple to the front hall first, saying that he would be there later. The butler did not dare to be negligent and hurried to prepare.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was sitting in the front hall, feeling extremely nervous, his face slightly pale.

He sat in the chair, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. The butler specially brought Shaoqing a cup of tea.

"When will the butler prince come? I do have something important to warn the prince, but I dare not delay even a minute or a second."

The housekeeper looked at the Junior Official of the Dali Temple with complicated eyes and shook his head slightly.

"Master Li, you don't know that my prince is usually in the study at this time of the week handling official business. When I went in just now, the prince asked you to wait here. I believe the prince will be here soon. Master Li, don't worry."

The housekeeper's words did not make the Dali Temple Shaoqing relax. He sat on the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip.

The bitter taste followed his taste buds, making him feel even more uneasy.

Then he leaned back in a chair beside him, not daring to relax at all.

When Zhu Han arrived, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple hurriedly stood up, looked at Zhu Han, and then knelt on the ground. When he looked up at Zhu Han, his heart was so high that his voice became hoarse.

His actions surprised Zhu Han a little.

"Master Li, what's wrong with you? Why do you come to my house in such a hurry and show such courtesy?"

Zhu Han wanted to help the man up, but he didn't expect that the Dali Temple Shaoqing's eyes were extremely red. He knelt on the ground and looked at Zhu Han with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened in Yingtian Prefecture. Please save my life."

His words were confusing and Zhu Han didn't understand the hidden meaning at all. He sat on the chair and looked at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple seriously.

"Master Li, please feel free to say whatever you want to say. I can't tell whether what you are saying is true or false. Who is trying to take your life?"

"Who did you offend again? You should tell me all of this so that I can understand the whole story."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple nodded repeatedly. He knelt in front of Zhu Han and told Zhu Han everything that had happened in Yingtian Prefecture.

There were some things that Zhu Han had already known, but there were more things about Zhu Di that were rumors.

"During my investigation, I discovered that these rumors actually came from the residence of His Royal Highness Prince Yan."

"His housekeeper spread rumors everywhere. Not only did he stir up public opinion when the number one scholar was wrongly accused, but he also revealed that they were also responsible for the silk this time."

The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple felt his scalp tingling whenever he thought about these things. He did not have much relationship with Zhu Di.

But after all, he was an official of the dynasty, and Zhu Di had a noble status. He even made bold statements, demanding that the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple bring the head of the emperor to him.

"Your Highness, I really don't know why His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan did this, but the silk and satin shop's business has already caused a stir in Yingtian Prefecture, and there is suspicion that it is disrupting the market."

"If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely investigate. I have arrested several people who spread the rumors. If His Majesty the Prince of Yan really wants to investigate this matter, I will be in big trouble."

This time, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple found a lot of key evidence, and he wished he could go to Zhu Yuanzhang right away to report Zhu Di.

But when I think about it, Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's son after all.

If no one protects him due to the involvement in this matter, he will definitely die.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys will make sure no one dares to tell the truth anymore.

"Since you know all this, even if you come to ask me for help, I can't protect you."

Zhu Han was a little helpless as this head-on confrontation between him and Zhu Di had not yet ended.

The business of Yingtianfu Silk Shop has become the biggest barrier between them.

If something else happened at this critical moment, he would have no way to resist. To keep the position of Junior Official of Dali Temple was just a piece of cake for Zhu Han, but he would have to stand on the opposite side with Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, I really have no other options. Xiaguan has handled many major cases impartially in Yingtian Prefecture over the years."

The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple became more and more sad as he spoke, and his voice was choked with sobs.

He had been an official in the court for more than ten years, and there had never been any problems. Every time Zhu Yuanzhang gave him instructions, everything was done peacefully and properly.

Now that this has happened, I really have no way to resist this power.

He regarded Zhu Han as the last straw. As long as Zhu Han could save him, he would do it even if it meant sacrificing his life.

"If someone loses his life because of such a small matter, I really cannot be at peace."

Zhu Han looked at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and felt a little bit sorry for him. He stepped forward and slowly helped the man up, giving him a meaningful look.

"If I want to protect you, I have to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan my enemy, but I can help you with this."

As expected, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple knew that Zhu Han had a way. He raised his hands repeatedly to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Zhu Han with extreme seriousness.

"I knew that the prince would definitely have a way."

Zhu Han told the Shaoqing of Dali Temple that the only one who could save him now was the prince.

"Although the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan are brothers, he is more concerned about the stability of the Ming Dynasty. The Prince of Yan is doing this now just to make more money. Do you remember that he signed a military order in front of His Majesty?"

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple finally understood. He originally thought that the current plan was more serious than they had expected.
But after Zhu Han's guidance, he seemed to have understood the whole story clearly.

It turns out that they had taken a lot of measures in this regard from the very beginning.

If we could really get Zhu Biao's help, things would definitely be much easier.

"My lord, if you can help me, I will serve you for the rest of my life and follow your lead."

Now that his life was at stake, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple did not dare to do anything else. Zhu Han did not take the matter to heart.

He stood up slowly and helped the Shaoqing of Dali Temple up.

"Lord Li, if you have time today, please come with me to the Prince's Mansion."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was a little flattered. He raised his hand and felt the sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, he felt particularly relaxed. No one could understand better than him how much pressure he was under in this life-and-death situation.

"In that case, let's go back early."

Zhu Han said this and arranged for the butler to prepare the carriage.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple nodded repeatedly and followed Zhu Han obediently. Only then did his anxious heart relax a little.

As long as you can keep your life, that is more important than anything else.

Thinking of Zhu Di and the warning he made in front of him, he felt very upset and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Zhu Biao never thought that when Zhu Han brought the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to his house, he would actually ask about the previous affairs of Zhu Di.

He brought the person to the study, and the three of them sat on chairs. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple told Zhu Biao exactly what he and Zhu Di had said when they met.

Even the coordinates felt that this was too much.

"He actually did this?"

Zhu Biao couldn't believe his ears. He had always thought that Zhu Di was just making trouble.

In Yingtian Prefecture, it would be a good thing if he could be smart in doing business.

But I didn't expect that he would do such a thing behind the scenes.

The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple really had no other choice, no matter how hard he tried to conceal the truth.

This matter would be known to others later, and he didn't want to bring it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Everything your Highness said is true. The Prince of Yan has long disregarded the laws of the Ming Dynasty and has privately seized other people's goods."

"It's caused a lot of uproar, and the rumors are spreading everywhere. Many officials can't stand it anymore. He even formed a clique for personal gain."

"I have found a lot of key evidence for these things, but I just don't dare to show it."

Zhu Biao felt his scalp tingling after hearing this.

This kind of thing is a capital crime. Once Zhu Yuanzhang starts to investigate, none of them will be able to escape.

But he never imagined that things would have come to this point.

There was no way he could withstand such a blow.

The Junior Official of Dali Temple knelt in front of him. Faced with the current situation, there was no way for him to calm down.

When he looked at Zhu Biao, he prayed that Zhu Biao could protect him.

"Your Highness, I am now at my wit's end. Once His Highness the Prince of Yan finds out, he will definitely not let me go so easily."

Faced with the current situation, all previous concerns have disappeared.

From the very beginning, their actions became increasingly difficult.

At this moment, the incident came before Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Zhu Biao might not be able to excuse Zhu Di.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han with complicated eyes, seeming still undecided.

"Uncle, this matter is getting bigger and bigger. What should I do with my father?"

The sudden change in the situation made them completely unable to cope, along with many things happening in Yingtian Prefecture.

In the current situation, it is completely impossible to disappear into thin air.

Zhu Biao had even thought about this matter. Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not let it go. Zhu Han looked at the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple meaningfully.

"Lord Li has investigated so many things but has kept them secret, and has sought a way out for his family. This courage is something that I admire immensely."

Zhu Han said this and turned to look at Zhu Biao with a firm look in his eyes.

"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be even more grateful that the officials in Yingtian Prefecture have such determination."

After hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Biao had already determined that Zhu Han was on the side of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

As long as they can find out a little bit of the truth as soon as possible and expose the matter to the Dali Temple Shaoqing in the future, they can save their lives.

Now is a good time for Zhu Biao to win over talents. Only with such talents can he truly serve the people in the court in the future.

And they will not let high positions and generous salaries blind their hearts.

"Uncle, I understand."

Zhu Biao agreed to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
