Father can be an enemy to the country

In the prison hall.

After finishing the gossip, Zhu Zhen got down to the topic and said, "Tell me, where has the case reached?"

"Back to the prince, the interrogation of the servants captured earlier has been completed, and the confessions obtained are enough to convict those princes!" Wu Yong suddenly became energetic at this time.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's arrest people!" Zhu Zhen picked up the lottery tube on the table, poured all the fire lottery tickets on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the trial department will take a fire lottery ticket and go get the ticket card to arrest them." Man, Jin Yiwei cooperates!”

"Yes!" Seeing that he was decisive in handling matters and had clear priorities, the officials of the Interrogation Department perked up and became less resistant to the airborne Sixth Prince.

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei couldn't be happy to be in such limelight.

At this time, Wu Yong asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, will Taishi Li be arrested?"

"No arrest." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "He is the chief hero of the founding of the country, his father Xiao He. It will not look good to arrest him. He must be allowed to surrender on his own."

"I understand. Arrest everyone in his family except him!" Wu Yong said with murderous intent.

"Haha." Zhu Zhen couldn't help being happy. He looked Wu Yong up and down and said, "You are really a damn talent. But please don't go to my eldest sister's house to arrest people."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you still know the importance of your humble position." Wu Yong said hurriedly and respectfully.

"Well, go ahead." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Catch the person while it's dark, don't wait until dawn for people to watch the court's jokes."

"Understood!" All the civil and military officials agreed in unison and resigned. Immediately mobilize all the troops and move throughout the night!

~~

Late at night, the city of Nanjing is still bustling with singing and dancing, the Qinhuai River is full of lights and feasting, the Qinhuai River is full of silk and bamboo, and the night market in front of the Confucius Temple is bustling.

This place has not experienced war and chaos for thirty years, and has naturally returned to the prosperous scene of Jinfen in the Six Dynasties.

At this moment, there was a sound like fried beans, which was made by many pairs of leather boots with iron nails stepping on the bluestone road.

People walking at night rushed to the side of the road and looked curiously at the groups of heavily armed guards heading to the princes' mansions on both sides of the Qinhuai River!

"Who are you arresting?" The young masters and eldest sons also poked their heads out of the river house and the painted boat, discussing curiously.

"Didn't we just arrest a group of people two days ago?"

"Alas, there is going to be a big prison again." A richly dressed young man sighed.

"Master Feng, do you have any inside information?" asked the guests and female historian who were traveling with him.

"I don't know." Mr. Feng shook his head and said, "I guess the person they want to arrest is not a civil servant. My father said that their case has been closed. It can't be brought back in two days, right?"

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "If my guess is correct, the unlucky ones this time should be those princes."

"Ah, no way?" The female historians were in disbelief. In the eyes of these people, every one of those high-ranking princes is a great person. No matter what outrageous things you do, you will not be held accountable.

"Why not? A few days ago, the Ji'an Marquis' Mansion, the Pingliang Marquis' Mansion, and several other marquis' mansions were raided by the Jinyi Guards, and many of their servants were captured." Mr. Feng sneered and said, "Capture the servants. What's the use? It's just to get the evidence of the marquis' crimes from their mouths..."

After speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake, so he slapped the female historian beside him: "Stop guessing, pour some wine and drink, you will know everything tomorrow morning!"

"Okay." The female historian smiled sweetly, and then began to pour wine for the guests one by one, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again on the boat.

~~

The torch swayed, illuminating the big stone lion in front of the gate of Ji'an Marquis Mansion, making it look ferocious.

"Open the door, open the door!" Jin Yiwei banged on the closed door.

"Who is it? It's in the middle of the night!" A stern questioning voice soon sounded inside: "Can't you come back tomorrow morning?"

"Hurry up and open the door! Jin Yiwei is on an errand!" The banging on the door became louder. "If you don't open it, the door will be knocked down!"

There was silence inside the door for a while, and then it slowly opened a crack.

The Jin Yiwei suddenly pushed open the door of the mansion and rushed in.

"Didn't you guys come here before?" The new disciple, who had just taken up the position and was obviously not yet proficient in business, asked nervously. As for his predecessor, he was taken away by Jin Yiwei a few days ago.

"Today we are here to arrest your master!" Qianhu, the leader of the Jinyi Guards, said coldly, and then waved his hand: "Go to the backyard!"

Because all the servants of the Marquis of Ji'an Mansion had been arrested before, the Jin Yiwei barely encountered any obstruction and easily rushed into the back house.

Only then did he see Lu Zhongheng’s five sons. They were all wearing armor and holding swords, standing outside the main door with angry eyes.

Lu Zhongheng's eldest son, Lu Xian, made a false move with his sword and said: "You guys, stop! The Marquis of Ji'an Mansion is not a place where you can trespass!"

"Your Majesty has an order to apprehend Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an who is suspected of being a Hu Party member!" Jin Yiwei Qianhu showed his ticket and said, "Your Majesty, please get out of the way to avoid making mistakes."

"You want to arrest my father, you are not qualified!" Lu Xian sneered, acting quite tough... because he was also the consort, and he was married to Princess Runing, the fifth daughter of Boss Zhu. I'm sorry that these Jin Yiwei didn't dare to do anything to me.

"Then don't blame us for being violent." Unexpectedly, Qianhu was as if he had taken gunpowder. Not only was he not afraid of him at all, he was also very angry. After speaking, he raised his hand and shouted: "Anyone who resists arrest will be shot to death!"

The imperial guards on the periphery immediately revealed the crossbow arrows hidden under their cloaks.

"You dare?!" Brother Lu Xian and the others raised their swords, their eyes about to burst.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the conflict is about to break out.

At this moment, the bedroom door opened. Everyone then saw Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, walking out slowly wearing a red python robe embroidered with gold. Asked the Qianhu: "You just said you were ordered by the prince, which prince is it?"

"King of Chuhai Dian!" Qianhu held his head high and proudly announced this name that gave him a sense of security.

"Bring me the ticket." Lu Zhongheng stretched out his hand.

Qianhu hesitated for a moment, then raised the ticket with both hands and sent it to Lu Zhongheng. He also made a gesture of retreating at any time to prevent him from suddenly destroying the ticket.

Lu Zhongheng, a dignified marquis, was not that mean. He glanced at Zhu Zhen's signature on the ticket and withdrew his gaze. Said to everyone:

"Put away your weapons. I'll go with you."

The second half of the sentence was obviously meant for Jin Yiwei.

"Father!" Lu Xian and others said in surprise. They were very surprised. Just now, their father said that he would rather die at home than go to prison. Why did it suddenly turn around?

"Because the Sixth Prince is a reasonable man." Lu Zhongheng said calmly: "He will deal with us fairly."

Then he ordered Lu Xian and others: "Guard the door, don't act rashly, everything will be determined by itself."

After saying that, he took the initiative to get into the prison car driven by Jin Yiwei.

All the Jinyi guards were also dumbfounded. Who didn't know that Marquis Ji'an was famous for being arrogant. The last time they came to Marquis Ji'an's house to arrest someone, they took advantage of him not being at home. Why did you become so obedient all of a sudden?

Could it be that the prince's name has magic power?
