Chapter 317 Death Order

The people in Mingtang must have reported the incident to the imperial court, and it is not surprising that Zhu Gaochi knew it.

Chen Feng said with a bitter face: "It is indeed because of this matter. Brother should know that Song Qingshan was hired by Zhu Gaoxu. Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu hid in the palace and was protected and did not go out. A killer like Song Qingshan was hired but did not get it." How can I give up on the commission? So I simply threatened me. Now that the lion is asking for 10 taels of gold, I think the palace is not willing to pay this money!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded noncommittally. For such a large amount, he had to ask Zhu Di for instructions.It was too late last night, so I didn't have time to report, and now I happened to go with Chen Feng.

When they arrived at Zhu Di's bedroom, they were called in after a briefing.

It was not Zhu Gaoxu who served Zhu Di, but Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaoxu made such a big mistake. Although Zhu Di would not punish him, he would definitely scold him. He was a little afraid to face Zhu Di, so he had been hiding in Qandong No. [-].Zhu Di did not drive him back to his fiefdom, because the old emperor knew that Zhu Gaoxu was threatened by killers, and it was safest to hide in the palace.

As for Zhu Gaojiu, he is also ambitious, but he is not as reckless and direct as Zhu Gaojiu. He is secretly cultivating power, and at this moment he happens to take care of the emperor instead of Zhu Gaojiu.

Chen Feng didn't take Zhu Gaosui seriously, no matter how scheming this man was, Zhu Di would not pass on the throne to him.Zhu Di's favorite is Zhu Gaoxu, even his favorite son can be given up, let alone a Zhu Gaosui.

"Feng'er, I heard that you woke up, but you didn't come to see me. I thought you married An Le and wanted to draw a line with the court. Now that you can come to see me, I am very happy!" Zhu Di smiled sincerely .

Chen Feng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, in addition to visiting you, I may have to trouble you with something else!"

Zhu Di's smile stopped immediately: "I was happy for a while and then you made me angry. Tell me, what is it?"

Chen Feng glanced at Zhu Gaosui, Zhao Wang was hostile to him, but it was no big deal for him to know about it.

"It all started because of the King of Han..." Chen Feng directly pointed the trigger to Zhu Gaoxu, and then explained the incident in detail.

When he heard 10 taels of gold, Zhu Di almost jumped up from the dragon bed.

"What? Is this killer crazy? How dare he ask for 10 taels of gold? Can he move it?"

Chen Feng said with a bitter face: "I told him that too, but he said that we don't need to worry about it. I am also wondering what method Song Qingshan will use, but one thing is for sure. Killers usually do what they say, He kills people without blinking an eye. If we don't prepare gold, he will never show up, and he might kill the hostages secretly."

Zhu Gaosui stroked Zhu Di's back and comforted him softly: "Father, don't get angry. A female disciple of the Emei Sect is worth 10 taels of gold. If this money is used, the imperial treasury will inevitably be strained and it will easily cause turmoil. It is better to sacrifice one person , in exchange for the stability of the imperial court, I believe people from the Emei sect will understand."

Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "Gao Sui's words are not unreasonable. I personally sent someone to support Miezhen Master Tai of the Emei Sect. I believe that Mie Zhen Master Tai would not turn against the court for a disciple."

Chen Feng was secretly angry. Zhu Gaochi also saw what he was thinking and spoke in front of Zhu Di in advance: "Father, no matter who the hostage is, it is a human life after all! What's more, if we give out 10 taels of gold, it will definitely not be true in the end. Give the land to the killer. Money is just a bait, just set up many ambushes, just wait for the killer to show up and give a thunderous blow!"

Zhu Di nodded again: "What the prince said is also reasonable, that killer dared to negotiate with the court, this person must be wiped out!"

Zhu Gaosui tried to dissuade him again: "But after all, it is 10 taels of gold. Since the killer dares to ask for a price, he must have thought of a countermeasure to seize it. I am afraid that the gold will be looted as soon as it is transported out of the city!"

Chen Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said coldly: "King Zhao has no confidence in me and the court. With my protection, the court can also send experts. How can the killer succeed?"

Zhu Gaosui retorted: "If you had the ability, you wouldn't let the killer take hostages!"

Chen Feng was furious: "I explained the situation very clearly at that time. It is already very good to be able to safely rescue the princess of Jiaxing and the girl of reconciliation. If it were you, I am afraid that you will be killed by the killer on the spot!"

"You..." Zhu Gaosui was told that he had no way to refute.

Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I have made a decision on this matter, and you don't need to say anything anymore. Prince, prepare 10 taels of gold, let Zhao Lin lead the inner masters to escort, and then notify the people in Dongchang, Let Huang Yan personally lead people to follow and ambush him secretly!"

As soon as Chen Feng heard about Dongchang, he felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Huang Yan would come to disrupt the situation, so he quickly objected: "Your Majesty, why don't you send Jinyiwei or Mingtang, why send people from Dongchang."

Zhu Di just made this decision according to the rules. It is more appropriate for the royal property to be protected by the royal servants.He did not consider the rift between Dongchang and Chen Feng. Chen Feng's objection had the opposite effect.

"I'm kind enough to help you deal with the killer, but you still dislike this. My order has been issued. If you are not satisfied, cancel this operation!" No matter how poor Zhu Di's health is, what he said still cannot be opposed by anyone.

Chen Feng reluctantly agreed: "Let's do it according to the emperor's wishes, I thank you in advance here!"

Zhu Di closed his eyes, seeming a little tired: "No need to thank you, if you can't send the gold back safely, I will be the first to ask you!"

Walking out of the emperor's bedroom, Zhu Gaochi quickly dealt with the matter, as long as the three-day time limit is up, the gold will be ready.

Chen Feng didn't need to worry too much, he left the palace and didn't go back to the inn, but went out of the city to Laojun Temple.

The transaction location was still the mountain behind Laojun Temple. Chen Feng didn't take a good look at that place last night, so he took advantage of the day to go and explore it carefully, at least to understand the terrain clearly, and to think about how Song Qingshan would transport the gold away.

Laojun Temple is not peaceful today, people who come to worship are turned away, because people from Mingtang are handling cases inside.

The deeds done by the old Taoist priest have been widely circulated, and people outside watching the trouble are also talking about it.

Chen Feng squeezed into the crowd, and the people in Mingtang knew him very well, so they let him in directly.

The Dragon Envoy Bai Yu was the one who investigated the case in Laojun Temple, and all Taoist priests were taken to various places for interrogation individually.

Seeing Chen Feng coming, Bai Yu greeted him with a smile: "Chen's son-in-law will come to Laojun Temple again, probably not for the case of Laojun Temple, but for the deal in three days' time, right?"

Chen Feng smiled and said: "As expected, I can't hide it from the White Dragon Envoy. I'm just here to check the terrain."

Bai Yu put away her smile, and her expression became serious: "I brought people to investigate the case early this morning. Although the court did not order the killer, and Prince Chen did not inform us, after all, I have witnessed everything that happened, so I always I need to do my part. I have already explored the entire back mountain, and found that the environment there is indeed a bit strange..."
