Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhen Wu straightened his expression and looked at Yu Pei as well.

He thought for a while and said: "Now is the critical period, I should not go to the palace. If Nephew Mengju's nephew is really Yu Feng's son, you can't startle the snake, you take my seal back to the palace, first confirm with my brother whether the jade pendant is Mengju's nephew Yes, once it is confirmed, we only need to investigate a little bit, and we have a lot to do in this matter."

The situation of Yang Jing and nephew Meng Ju's is still different. Yang Jing is guilty of feigning death and escaping in advance, and there is no clear crime. But if Meng Ju's nephew is really Yu Feng's son, then this matter will be serious.

Yang Jing thought about it seriously, and approved Zhen Wu's words. Afterwards, the two talked in detail for a while, and Yang Jing quietly left with the jade pendant and Zhen Wu's seal, and returned to the palace.

After arriving at the palace, Yang Jing went to the place where Zhen Yong was imprisoned first, and made inquiries. After showing Zhen Wu's seal, Zhen Yong knew everything. Soon, Yang Jing confirmed that the jade pendant belonged to Meng Ju's nephew.

Then, he hurriedly reported to Zhu Di.

No one knew exactly what the two of them talked about, except that Yang Jing led people to go straight to Mengju's wife's hometown at night.

For five consecutive days.

Every day after eating, Zhen Wu stood in the yard with a heavy heart, looking at the sky outside.

He could clearly feel that the vortex surging in the dark of Beiping City was about to erupt.

Once it erupts, it must be astonishingly powerful.

In the afternoon of the sixth day.

The closed door of Zhen Wu's house was finally opened. Wang Yan came to ask Zhen Wu to go to the palace.

Zhen Wu followed Wang Yan and went straight into Zhu Di's study. He understood that this matter was finally coming to an end.

As soon as he entered the study, there were three people inside, Dao Yan, Yang Jing and Zhu Di.

Zhu Di pouted his chin, and Yang Jing understood, and quickly whispered in Zhen Wu's ear: "I went to Mengju's wife's hometown in the past few days. Mengju's wife does have a younger brother, and she does have a nephew of the same age. On the surface, it was said that he was sent to Beiping City to be raised by Mengju, but after a secret investigation, his nephew died of illness ten years ago. I dug the grave myself and saw the bones with my own eyes, so now I can be sure that nephew Mengju Absolutely not me, adding this jade pendant to testify now is enough to convict Meng Ju of deceiving the emperor."

Speaking of this, the old monk Daoyan suddenly smiled: "You don't need to be so troublesome, just beat Meng Ju and others together into the gangsters, so that we can catch them all in one go."

Zhen Wu was a little surprised, and labeled it Hu Dang, simply four words.

But between the lines is a dead word.

Zhu Di seemed to have already discussed with Dao Yan and made up his mind.

At this time, he suddenly raised his head to look at Zhen Wu, and said: "Before, you were told to close the gate tightly, and there were rumors everywhere in the city that I was going to cut off your head. This time, I will let you lead the soldiers to show up, and you will give me the momentum of thunder. Take down all the members of the Mengju Party, dig three feet at the same time, and also check out all the secret letters they exchanged with each other."

Zhen Wu took the order immediately.

Zhu Di looked at Yang Jing again: "Mengju Party members have been spreading rumors before, is there a way to reverse the public opinion?"

Yang Jing said: "This matter is simple. Find a few storytellers and tell the stories we gave for a few days. Not only can the reputation be reversed, but also the two brothers Zhen Qianhu can be turned into heroes who fight against traitors for the country."

"Then let's do this. The Zhenwu brothers have been criticized for this matter. I let them be heroes, and it should be so."

At this moment, Zhen Wu suddenly asked Zhu Di: "When arresting, if you encounter resistance, please show me how to choose, Your Highness."

"Kill or kill."

Zhu Di's murderous aura was overflowing, and his bloody words floated in the study, as if even the summer temperature had cooled down a bit.

……

Chapter 160 - The Rainy Night Soldier

At noon in Beiping City, the sky began to turn gloomy. After two hours of brewing, there was a thunder, and finally it began to rain.

Pedestrians on the street were suddenly startled and scattered.

In a family near the city gate, the lazy husband gloated at the people hiding from the rain on the street, laughed, and then proudly showed off to his wife.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm right. I said a long time ago that it will rain this afternoon, but luckily I didn't leave the stall. Otherwise, I would have been drenched."

After the husband finished speaking, he continued to laugh, but he laughed and found that the daughter-in-law didn't pay attention to his words, so she raised her eyebrows.

"Why, am I wrong? Besides, if I hadn't reminded you to collect your clothes early, even the clothes you washed yesterday would get wet again."

The woman sighed, cast a blank look at her husband, and said angrily, "Yes, yes, what you said is correct, but after all it was a day's delay in making a living, so there's nothing to be proud of if you say you're right."

The husband was choked.

Just when he was about to make a few more excuses, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

"The King of Yan has ordered that the gates of the city be closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city."

When the woman heard the news, she came to the door curiously and looked around, "Master, what's going on? It's not time to close the city gate yet."

"Go, go, what do you know, a woman, this must be a big deal."

……

Soon, all the gates of Beiping City were closed.

The common people all hid at home because of the rain, only heard the sound of soldiers from the patrol battalion running in unison on the street without avoiding the rain.

And at dusk.

More than a thousand soldiers under Zhenwu's subordinates from the Right Guard Camp entered the city with the order of the King of Yan.

Zhen Wu rode a tall horse and walked in front of all the soldiers. While running, his face was expressionless, and he gave orders in a deep voice.

"Zhang Wu, bring your men to arrest Liu Mang's family, but if you encounter resistance, you will be shot or killed. Liu Sheng, you go and arrest Zhao Qi, Gu Ming, you go..."

Following Zhen Wu's order after order, the sergeants quickly separated out and galloped towards the target.

In the end, Zhen Wu raised his eyes, and the reflection of the raindrops showed a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

"Xue Lu brought people with me to capture Mengju."

"Impossible to take orders."

Xue Lu seemed to be releasing all the negative energy of the past few days, roaring furiously, his voice piercing the rain, even Hu Changyong under his banner could not wait to cry up to the sky at this moment.

In the past few days, how many people have pointed fingers at them, and how many people have privately criticized that Zhen Wu will be beheaded. Now that Zhen Wu is in charge of Yan Wang's order to arrest the rebel, it is enough to break all the rumors.

He knew that he was not wrong about the person, and he could never go wrong with Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu took the lead to whip the horse, and headed towards Meng Ju's house on the empty street. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting later and later. The rain flowed down his neck and into his chest. On this midsummer evening, there was a feeling of coolness .

Behind him, more than a hundred soldiers followed silently, with murderous aura.

The sound of rain, the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of armored soldiers kept ringing. The scared people hid in their homes and did not dare to make any noise. Only some bold people dared to peek through the windows secretly.

And at this time Mengju's home.

Meng Ju frowned deeply, the movement in the city cannot be concealed from others, and Zhen Wu's going to the Yan Palace also cannot escape his eyes and ears, he felt faintly uneasy, but he still forced himself to settle down.

The old slave at the side looked anxious: "Master, I don't think the movement in the city is right, or else you should find a way to hide first, Master?"

"hide?"

Meng Ju sneered: "Why do you want to hide? I have Duke Liang to protect me, and Marquis Jingning value me recently. I don't believe that King Yan dares to take me for no reason."

"But the movement in the city is really not right." The old slave was still worried.

Mengju looked through the window and landed on the beaded rain curtain, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, he knew that he made a mistake, and that was the missing piece of jade pendant.

However, Meng Ju immediately comforted himself that it was just a jade pendant, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to discover its secret by coincidence.

There are tens of thousands of jade pendants, even if their names are engraved, what can they represent?

Even the name Yu Yun, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are eight hundred if not one thousand, so what does it mean? !

thought here.

Meng Ju's restless heart calmed down a little, and he said in a deep voice: "If King Yan really came against me, you should find a way to go out immediately and find Marquis Jingning, he will definitely save me. If you have wronged me, you must go straight to Tianting and make him turn upside down."

The old slave nodded solemnly.

At this moment, a panicked voice sounded.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, outside... There are a lot of soldiers coming outside." A man dressed as a servant hurried over regardless of the rain.

Meng Ju stood up abruptly.

Yan Wang Zhu Di, how could he really target me.

"Follow me to have a look." Meng Ju picked up the umbrella beside him with a livid face, opened it, stepped into the rain curtain first, and walked towards the gate.

At the gate, the gate had already been tightly closed by the servants, and several of Mengju's personal soldiers guarded the two sides of the gate anxiously, looking uneasy and flustered.

Meng Ju scolded angrily: "Why panic, I'm not dead yet."

As soon as these words were said, the door slammed open from the outside with a bang. Zhen Wu walked in with a knife in his hand, as if he was carrying the wind and rain in the sky. He saw Mengju not far away at first glance. .

Meng Ju was shocked, seeing the expressionless Zhen Wu walking in from the outside, followed by many soldiers, standing on both sides of Zhen Wu, he already understood that today would not be good.

But he couldn't understand.

Meng Ju gritted his teeth and glared at Zhen Wudao: "Zhen Wu, what do you want to do?!"

"What do I want?"

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows like a blade, and said to Meng Ju: "A few days ago, you sent people to my house to arrest my younger brother, but Zhen Wu dared to arrest him with a knife. courage?"

Meng Ju's expression changed several times in shock at Zhen Wu's shout.

"Zhen Wu, why did you take me?!"

"Why?"

Zhen Wu gave a piss, this Mengju was intimidated after all, and then said in a deep voice: "Xue Lu."

"I'm humble."

Zhen Wu waved his hand: "This group of remnants of the Hu party, no matter men, women, old or young, don't let me let go of any of them."

"Yes."

Xue Lu then waved towards the door, and the soldiers poured into Meng Ju's house like a tide, and quickly spread their troops towards Meng Ju's house, while Xue Lu took the lead and rushed towards Meng Ju's personal soldiers with his sword drawn.

"The king of Yan has an order to arrest criminals, and if they dare to resist, they will be shot to death."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Ju's soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dropped their knives and tied their hands.

At this time, Meng Ju's face was full of horror, and the words "the remnants of the Hu party" echoed back and forth in his mind.

Zhen Wu glanced at Meng Ju disdainfully, and waved his hand again: "Tie me up."

Several sergeants rushed towards Mengju quickly, Mengju's old slave stepped forward and wanted to resist, but was cut down by the sergeant, and the sergeants tied up Mengju and others without saying a word.

The rain was still falling, accompanied by the sergeant's icy armor, sweeping across Mengju's house.

"Zhen Wu!"

The bound Mengju was full of anger, and looked at Zhen Wu as if his eyes could burst into flames: "Don't be arrogant, if you behave like this in my house, I, Mengju, will definitely make you die. I tell you, you can't blame me. .”

Zhen Wu walked up to him disdainfully, patted Meng Ju's face, and said lightly: "Do you still think you are someone? Who is fighting? Duke Liang or Marquis Jingning? Tell you, I, Zhen Wu, have always moved Ruo Lei Ting, since he dared to raid your home, he will do his best, if you survive this time, I will take your head off and give it to you without your hands."

"You..." Mengju was terrified and speechless.

It was only at this time that Meng Ju felt that Zhen Wu's aggressive attack was unstoppable, but he only regarded Zhen Wu as a stunned young man before, which was ridiculous.

Soon, the sergeants who rushed into Mengju's house began to return with one person tied up.

Zhen Wu followed these people and looked over one by one. When he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a head injury, his eyes showed a bit of curiosity.

"Yu Yun, the son of Yu Feng?"

The boy suddenly looked terrified: "I'm not, I'm not."

Zhen Wu frowned, and slapped him casually: "A bastard like you is worthy of my youngest's punishment."

What a fucking wimp.

To live so long that my own father would not dare to admit it, not to drag myself along, and even come out to dance, I am really looking for death.

But Meng Ju's heart sank when he heard Zhen Wu's words.

At this time, Xue Lu ran over, Zhen Wu looked up at Xue Lu: "Have you found anything?"

Xue Lu nodded.

"lead the way."

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Meng Ju and others who had already been captured, and followed Xue Lu straight into the inner house, and then found some letters between Meng Ju and others in Meng Ju's bedroom.

As Zhen Wu flipped through the pages, he said to Xue Lu, "Search carefully, and don't miss anything suspicious."

Xue Lu went down in response.

Zhen Wu flipped through these letters briefly, and they were generally useful, but not very useful, and Meng Ju would not leave too obvious a clue.
