Father can be an enemy to the country

They really couldn't leave.

Because the owner of the village with great supernatural powers had already learned about Han Yike and Ping An's unusual movements in the early morning.

"Han, the magistrate of Linhuai County, called for the city gate to be opened at three quarters last night and left the city, and returned at five o'clock."

"Commander of the Fengyang left guard, Ping An, left the guard post at the beginning of last night and returned at the beginning of the month."

Two small pieces of paper with information written on them were placed in front of him.

"Weird." Shi Chenglu played with his goatee. "A county magistrate and a commander stayed up most of the night, sneaking out at the same time, and then sneaking back before dawn. Are these two people having an affair?"

"Dr. Stone, don't be joking." The person who spoke was a thin and capable little man, and it was he who brought these two pieces of information. "The magistrate opened the city gate in the middle of the night, which is a very unusual event. The government and the Ministry of War will be held accountable afterwards! How horny does he have to be to cause such a big trouble for his lover?"

"Hehe, we are joking, but Protector Cao is serious." Shi Chenglu laughed and said with a compliment: "Protector Cao is so powerful. Under your nose, those big figures in Fengyang are completely invisible. .”

"It's all because of my church members being everywhere. I have as many pairs of eyes as there are church members." Protector Cao explained seriously.

"Interesting." At this time, King Ming finally said: "What major event can make a Marquis of Baili and a Marquis of Wanhu become so anxious?"

"Judging from the direction they left the city, they should be coming from the central capital." Protector Cao said solemnly.

"There's not enough time to call back and forth." Shi Chenglu shook his head.

"What happened in Zhongdu yesterday?" King Ming asked.

"It's nothing serious." Shi Chenglu tugged his beard and said, "To put it bluntly, the two boys from the Hong family class were mistakenly arrested by Ding Bin, and then we fished them out..."

Before he finished speaking, he tugged at his beard, his pupils dilated and said: "Don't say it, the time is really right."

"I think so too. Suppose they go out when they get the news that the two boys were arrested, and return when they get the news that they have been rescued. The time does match up." Protector Cao said solemnly.

"But this is pure nonsense. Who are they? How could they risk their lives for those two opera boys?" Protector Shi couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Could they be their die-hard opera fans? Haha, I would rather believe him. They have an affair."

"This matter is not difficult to verify." Protector Cao said very professionally: "If they are really after the boy from the Hong family class, then they must have buried a hidden stake near Wuli Temple, otherwise they would never have been able to learn about the two men so quickly. News from the boy.”

"That's easy to do. Although Wuli Temple is right under Zhongdu City, it is off the main road and sparsely populated. It is not difficult to find strangers." Protector Shi said: "If there is a hidden stake."

"You can look for it, but don't alert the snake." Prince Ming shook his head and said to the two of them: "If there is a hidden pile, it means there is a big fish in the Hong family's class. We can't let the fish that have fallen into the trap jump out again."

"Big fish?" Shi Chenglu couldn't believe it. "A few months ago it was just a grassroots team of farmers..."

"What about before you became a farmer?" King Ming asked calmly.

"Families of prisoners."

"But you haven't found out until now. Does Han Yike have a boss named Hong?"

"Didn't I say before that maybe the government helped them hide their names." Shi Chenglu said with sweat on his forehead.

"Then find out who helped them change their names! What were their original surnames?" King Ming raised his voice, obviously dissatisfied with Protector Shi's work.

"Let me go check it out." Protector Cao volunteered.

"Yes, my subordinates are busy with mundane duties and are really not good at this." Shi Chenglu wiped his sweat and quickly gave up.

"Yes." King Ming nodded and said to Protector Cao: "Find out their identities at all costs!"

"Do you want to go to war in such a big way?" Protector Cao felt a little hurt. Because many hidden lines can only be used once, the cost would be too high at all costs.

"It's worth it." King Ming said solemnly: "It's okay for Han Yike, that Ping Bao'er is a dignified third-grade commander, and he also has a more important identity."

"Zhu Hongwu's adopted son..." Protector Cao suddenly said: "Prince Ming is suspicious. Is the father of those boys someone whom Zhu Hongwu values?"

"Who knows if you don't check? If you check, you will know." The nonsense literature of His Highness Prince Ming has already entered the hall.

"Watch those boys, don't let them escape." He ordered Protector Stone again.

"Is the play still going on?" Shi Chenglu asked.

"We should act as we should." Prince Ming smiled wisely and said, "The invitations have been sent out, so why not have a banquet?"

In Zhongdu City, there is the Yamen of the Ministry of Works.

"You mistakenly looked at the lights outside the city and thought it was the embankment guards calling the police?" Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Xiang, the prefect of Fengyang who came to report.

"Yes, yes. So Magistrate Han quickly called for the city gate to be opened, went out to check, and turned back after learning that it was a misunderstanding." Zhu Xiang is Zhu Yuanzhang's great-nephew who came out of the fifth server, so he was promoted to this position by Li Shanchang. In fact, he is not qualified at all. . While wiping his sweat, he said: "This is what the magistrate Han reported."

"What about Ping Bao'er? What's his reason?" Li Shanchang looked noncommittally at the commander of Zhongdu, Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin.

"He said that he heard that Linhuai County opened the city in the middle of the night, so he went to check it out just in case." Wu Liang was over fifty years old, with a calm demeanor and the demeanor of a general.

"It makes sense." Li Shanchang nodded, holding a shiny walnut in his hand and said, "It seems that after Ping Baoer took office, he got very close to Han Yike."

"It seems like we have a good relationship." Wu Liang nodded.

"They both took office one after the other, right?" Li Shanchang asked again.

"Han Yi was last autumn, and Ping An was last winter, but he only took office in the first month of the year." It was rare for Zhu Xiang to have a simple question, so Zhu Xiang rushed to answer it.

"Write a letter and ask Hu Weiyong who appointed these two people." Li Shanchang actually didn't want to be distracted, but the intuition he had developed through political struggles for most of his life made him feel that there was something wrong with these two people.

"yes."

At noon that day, Nanjing Imperial City, Spring Harmony Palace.

The prince also received two flying pigeon letters from Han Yike and Ping An. After he personally interpreted them with the code book, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"Quickly, let's go to Wuying Palace!" He immediately put the code book away and put the deciphered note into his sleeve.

Soon, the prince arrived in front of Wuying Hall and walked in quickly without passing the call.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials. He frowned and was about to get angry. When he saw clearly that it was the prince, his anger disappeared and he ordered his left and right:

"You guys go down first, it seems that the prince is in an emergency."

As soon as the palace door was closed, Zhu Biao rushed to the imperial case and slapped the note in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Dad, the second and fourth sons are in danger!"
