Father can be an enemy to the country

Prince of Chuhaidian.

Wang Runer is packing Zhu Zhen's luggage.

Looking at the boxes piled on the floor of the bedroom, Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You women will go there in a few days, do I need to bring so many things?"

"The prince himself said that he hasn't been back for more than two years, so he must bring enough gifts for Liu Li and Miaoqing to explain." Wang Runer said softly: "And Meng Xuan and Meng Can are two poor little ones. They are three years old and have never seen their father. Don't you have to give them all the toys they have grown up with?"

"That makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"And Master Zhang is also practicing in Kunming, and there is also Madam Shexiang and Madam Shuzhu..." Wang Runer counted on her fingers for him, and Lao Liu blushed when she heard it. He couldn't tell whether she was acting like a lady or mocking him.

Seeing Ma Sanbao looking around, he immediately coughed and said, "Is there something?"

"Yes." Ma Sanbao replied, "The Crown Princess sent someone to ask the prince to come over quickly."

"Oh? My sister-in-law is looking for me, it must be a big deal, let's go!" Zhu Zhen pulled Ma Sanbao out of the palace as if he was escaping.

Zhu Zhen didn't want to disturb the people, and never played a ceremonial guard unless it was necessary. When he was walking in the capital, he only brought three or five carriages and one or two hundred guards.

He sat in a carriage at random, silently thinking about what else he had to do before leaving Beijing. For example, he had to go to his master again. Although he didn't recognize him a long time ago, the purpose of the visit was to commemorate him. One less look, so cherish it.

He also had to go to Guozi University. Although he was no longer the chief priest, it was not easy to give up completely. He still had to cheer up Zeng Tai and Song Yan...

While he was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Your Highness, the Jinyiwei has blocked the intersection. They must be arresting people." Deng Duo said in a deep voice, "I'll ask them to get out of the way."

"No need." Zhu Zhen opened the car door, got out and said, "Let's see what's going on."

The imperial city is full of mansions of dignitaries. It's unusual for the Jinyiwei to arrest people in such a high-profile manner.

"Didn't the Crown Princess ask Your Highness to go over quickly?" Deng Duo reminded him.

"It's okay. If there's something serious, it's just that my elder brother called me." Zhu Zhen said indifferently. He had already figured out what his elder sister-in-law wanted to do with him.

To be honest, he didn't want to bother with this trivial matter... He wanted to see if he could delay it. When he got there, he wouldn't have anything to do.

As they were talking, the two came to the outside of the crowd watching the excitement. Zhu Zhen shook his arms and squeezed in easily.

The people who were squeezed out by him wanted to scold him, but seeing his physique, they had to forgive him.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?" Zhu Zhen asked the old man beside him.

"I don't know. Suddenly the street was closed, and then a large group of Jinyiwei drove over and rushed into the mansion to arrest people." The old man told him with his head raised.

"The three alleys of Xi'an Gate were blocked, and the four families of Ji'an Marquis, Yan'an Marquis, Pingliang Marquis and Nanxiong Marquis lived there..." Deng Duo whispered behind him.

"It's really like fish looking for fish and shrimp looking for shrimp." Zhu Zhen sneered and saw Jinyiwei escorting all of Fei Ju's personal soldiers and servants out of Pingliang Marquis' mansion.

At this time, some Jinyiwei also saw him and hurried to report to the higher authorities. After a while, Mao Xiang came running all the way.

Seeing the Jinyiwei leader rushing over, the onlookers were frightened and disappeared in an instant.

"Oh, it's really the prince. I pay my respects to the prince." Mao Xiang smiled and bowed his head.

"No need to be polite, I'm just passing by." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "I didn't intend to disturb you, but I was recognized anyway."

"I can't help it, who made the prince so outstanding, like a crane standing out from a flock of chickens?" Mao Xiang flattered.

"Hahaha, why don't you just say that I look like a door god?" Zhu Zhen laughed loudly.

"No, no, I definitely don't mean that. How can there be a door god like the prince who is both civil and martial and looks very handsome?" Mao Xiang waved his hand in panic.

"I won't talk nonsense with you. Since you recognize me, just let me go. I have something else to do." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes, let him go!" Mao Xiang waved his hand quickly, but looked at Lao Liu eagerly and said, "Your Highness, aren't you curious about what's going on?"

"No." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "You are the emperor's messenger, so I'd better not ask too much."

"Your Highness is not someone else. If I tell you, the emperor won't blame me." Mao Xiang smiled and said, "I still have to ask your Highness for advice."

"Alas, I can't guarantee that I can give you any advice." Zhu Zhen sighed.

"Okay!" Mao Xiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said everything: "In fact, I am still confused... An hour ago, the emperor suddenly summoned me, issued a list, and ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest people according to it."

As he said, he took out a list from his sleeve and presented it to Zhu Zhen.

"Just show me the names." Zhu Zhen quickly glanced at the names above and said, "I don't recognize many of them."

"Yes, but their masters are known to the prince." Mao Xiang pointed at those names and said, "These are from Li Taifu's mansion. These are from Ji'an Marquis' mansion, these are from Yan'an Marquis' mansion, these are from Pingliang Marquis' mansion..."

"Why did you arrest so many servants?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously.

"Yes, the emperor didn't say, and I don't know either." Mao Xiang bowed and asked for advice: "So I want to ask the prince, is this a big deal?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Zhen asked back.

"I think it's a big deal, but the people arrested are servants. But if you say it's not a big deal, this is the order from the emperor himself." Mao Xiang said with a bitter face.

"You said it yourself, this is the order from the emperor himself." Zhu Zhen said calmly: "Anyway, if I were you, I would not take my boss's order as a trivial matter."

"Yes, yes, the prince is right." Mao Xiang nodded horrified, and whispered: "Isn't it because you are afraid that these people can't stand the interrogation, and they will say everything they should and shouldn't say, making the matter bigger and bigger."

"Take the people back first." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Father will definitely tell you what to do next."

"Oh, I understand." Mao Xiang nodded, smiled bitterly, and said: "I also know that it is easiest to follow orders, but I have offended the civil officials in the Guo Huan case. If I offend the nobles and generals this time, I am afraid that I will not be far from death."

Zhu Zhen thought to himself, you feel it quite accurately. Then he said softly: "Don't worry, the emperor will probably let the Criminal Court take charge of the interrogation, you just let them be the bad guys."

"Yes." Mao Xiang nodded happily and said: "That Wu Yong loves to show off the most, I will let him show off enough this time!"
