Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Its style.

……

Zhen Wu sat silently in the middle hall for a while, when Fan Guanghua came over.

Fan Guanghua was born as a Wu Jinshi, and because he was also a young man, he often hang out with Zhen Wu, Zhu Neng and others, drinking and bragging a lot.

Zhen Wu knew that Fan Guanghua was secretly guarding his house.

After Fan Guanghua came in, he looked in the direction of Dongkuayuan, sighed at Zhen Wu and said, "If I had come out earlier, Zhang Wu and your janitor might not have suffered such serious injuries, but I think Keep all the thieves behind, if you stop them in the alley earlier, with the posture tonight, the other party will definitely run a lot. You say that people like us can't prevent thieves every day, so it's not a thing to worry about , so don't blame me for guarding late."

Naturally, Zhen Wu would not blame Fan Guanghua, Fan Guanghua was also thinking of him, and in Fan Guanghua's heart, the life of the gatekeeper might not be worth much.

Zhen Wu shook his head, and asked back: "How can you be blamed, but what about you? And the brothers who followed you, are there any injuries?"

"It's all right."

Fan Guanghua mentioned this, and said angrily: "I thought it would be difficult for them to withdraw after entering the yard, but I didn't expect the other party to withdraw too decisively, and they didn't make much resistance at all. Even if they were cut from behind, they just ran away. It is troublesome for us to chase, if it is not blocked by this yard, we really can't keep a few of them."

Having said that, Fan Guanghua paused, leaned towards Zhen Wu and said in a low voice.

"I have something to tell you."

Zhen Wu looked over.

I only heard Fan Guanghua whisper: "After a few people escaped from the yard, when we were chasing all the way, someone suddenly rescued us and stopped us from waiting. Do you know where he died?"

"where?"

"Near the bee tail alley, the home of a patrol battalion general flag. This general flag is no longer found, and as far as I know, this general flag happens to be patrolling Lingchunfang tonight. Do you know how long your Qingshui alley is tonight? Didn't patrol soldiers pass by?"

……

A wave of waves follow

Chapter 110 - Who's Behind?

Near Beewei Alley, the home of the General Banner of the Patrol Battalion.

Zhen Wu found Qi Qige's body among the bodies of several people.

This woman is not ugly. If she hadn't been born in this turbulent era, or if she hadn't been born in Mongolia, she might have become a well-educated young lady.

But death makes no difference.

Zhen Wu looked at her, and thought that after seeing her dead, his heart would relax a lot, but he didn't expect that the development of the matter would make him even more uneasy.

If she didn't die, she would be uneasy, but if she died under someone's knife, Zhen Wu would be afraid.

Fan Guanghua, who came here again with Zhen Wu, said from the side: "Most of these people had puzzled faces before they died. I guess they didn't expect to be attacked and killed." At this point, Fan Guanghua waved Ask a sergeant nearby.

"Have you checked the situation of the general flag?"

The sergeant hurried over and said: "Now we have only found out some general information." As he spoke, the sergeant planned to report.

But Zhen Wu waved his hand and stopped him, he knew the general situation.

Zhen Wu said softly: "I know whose family this is, Zhao Jinhu. When my family was poor, my mother borrowed several hundred Wen from him. I still remember that I returned it to him."

Fan Guanghua was taken aback for a moment, but then he figured it out, Zhen Wu used to live here, and the two families are not too far away, so it is not surprising that they have known each other.

Zhen Wu walked around the scene again. After seeing no useful news, he found a step and sat down. After Fan Guanghua also sat down, he asked, "How long did it take you to catch up after you lost it?" Arrived here? How many people have died since arriving here?"

Fan Guanghua nodded, thought for a while and said, "About a quarter of an hour, maybe a little shorter, mainly because he was led astray by a few dead soldiers."

Zhen Wu nodded to express his understanding, and then began to ponder.

One quarter of an hour.

The four of Qiqige and the others could be killed in just a quarter of an hour. It must be said that there are not one or two people in ambush here, and the people in ambush can still escape after killing someone, so that no trace can be found. sharp.

Then Zhen Wu thought of Zhao Jinhu again.

Why did Qi Qige and others come here? Obviously, the people here can make them trust, so who is Zhao Jinhu?

Mongolian spy?

No.

If the Mongolian spy Qi Qige had no reason to die here, or if he was going to die, Zhao Jinhu would have to die here too, instead of disappearing, and Zhao Jinhu was just a small general banner, unable to do anything big, Qi Qige waited for someone to come over , Sooner or later they will be discovered, and their first goal must be to escape from the city.

Who is Zhao Jinhu?Or who?

who is it?In order not to get burned, he killed someone directly to silence him.

Who has such great energy, hiding it from Zhu Di's eyes, and making such a move behind his back, could he still have an enmity with Zhen Wu?

Zhen Wu immediately thought of Ni Liang.

But Zhen Wu shook his head again, Ni Liang obviously didn't have the energy.

"Don't think about it, His Highness will definitely find out about this matter, so you don't have to worry too much." Fan Guanghua persuaded at this time.

Afterwards, he looked at Zhen Wu again, and continued, "Look at you, you are still wearing armor, and the armor is still stained with blood. You probably haven't had a good breath when you came back from Gubeikou, so go back and rest. Your Highness should inform you of any news, and if I know anything, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Zhen Wu sighed, as if this was the only way to go, he didn't have much ability to detect information, which made him a little depressed.

After the two got up, they walked outside, Zhen Wu said to Fan Guanghua while walking, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

"Okay, I'll give you a good gun some other day."

"Hey, there is an old apprentice who made you feel embarrassed, but speaking of it, that little girl in your family is quite courageous. At that time, a gun flew past my ear, so I almost didn't confess me to your family. .”

……

At this time, the sky was already bright.

When Zhen Wu returned home again, all the family members had gone to sleep because of the shock all night, including Zhang Wu and several wounded, but Zhen Wu couldn't sleep, and locked himself in a room in a daze after going to Jia.

I'm still a little scared, saying that this year, I can't trust anyone except myself.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhang Yuqing walked in, this ordinary woman brought some food and put it in front of Zhen Wu, she smiled at Zhen Wu and said: "My son, why blame yourself, you are still suffering from your own body."

Zhen Wu smiled bitterly, unable to eat anything, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Yuqing: "I want to buy a bigger house, or ask the people on the left, right and behind if they are willing to sell it. Come out from the front and rear or left and right courtyards, and invite some nursing homes to live in."

Zhang Yuqing smiled, without even thinking about it: "You are the one who decides, and mother listens to you, but is your current salary enough?"

Zhen Wu nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way for the money. You usually ask more about who is willing to sell the house."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, then picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu didn't want Zhang Yuqing to worry, so he took a bite, but he still couldn't help asking: "Was mother afraid at the time? In fact, if it weren't for me, there would be no thieves at home."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have provoked the enemy, and our family has provoked the enemy. How can we let go of it? Speaking of which, at the time, I was full of thoughts about protecting those little ones, so I didn't care about being afraid, but seeing Xiao Liu dared to hold the blunderbuss, but he panicked." At this point, Zhang Yuqing laughed: "You said that in the past, mother only watched Xiao Liu like to play and play, but I didn't expect Xiao Liu to be the calmest last night. It's in vain that she always pesters you and takes your temper."

Zhen Wu listened to Fan Guanghua's talk about what happened last night, and it was safe and sound. Then when he thought of Xiao Liu's red and swollen hands, he couldn't help but smile a little.

This stupid boy.

Zhang Yuqing also laughed: "Mother knows that mentioning Xiaoliu is useful, but you always say that you are not partial, why don't you just show a smile when you mention Xiaoliu."

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't realize this.

Zhang Yuqing spoke again: "After eating something, go to sleep for a while, and when you wake up, remember to go to your in-laws and let them know, don't let your in-laws worry, and that Cao Xiaoman, don't just rely on being an official." As it should be, they put in a lot of effort last night, by the way, those who rescued our family last night were all the guards of the palace?"

Zhen Wu nodded.

"Then remember to take the time to invite them to your house for dinner. Mother will cook some food and thank them."

"Understood." Zhen Wu was a little speechless, if he still used Zhang Yuqing to remind these trivial matters, then he had lived for so many years for nothing, and he understood the ways of the world, otherwise he would not have accumulated so many friends in the army.

But Zhang Yuqing was still rambling on, and after a while she said in the wrong direction, and even talked about her childhood. Zhen Wu sighed inwardly while talking with Zhang Yuqing.

He could tell that his mother said she was not afraid or not, but in her heart she guessed that she was also afraid, and now only by talking with Zhen Wu can reduce this emotion.

……

Chapter 112 - The Princess

afternoon.

After Zhen Wu woke up from sleep, rumors about what happened last night had already spread. When Zhen Wu sent Zhang Wu back to Fengwei Alley, the families of the nearby military households were already talking about it.

It is said that Zhao Jinhu provoked bandits.

It is also said that Zhao Jinhu was originally a Mongolian and absconded after being discovered.

It was even said that Zhao Jinhu was jealous of Zhen Wu's promotion and fortune, and contacted the thieves to kill Zhen Wu's house to vent his hatred.

……

There are all kinds of things, some of them are reliable, and some are not reliable at all. After Zhen Wu came over, many acquaintances came up to ask Zhen Wu, but Zhen Wu didn't bother to answer, and threw something to them casually. .

Zhang Wu's mother, Zhang Liushi, was surprised when she saw her son, but after hearing Zhen Wu's explanation, she quickly calmed down, and instead greeted Zhen Wu's family with concern.

"Everyone in the family is fine, but Zhang Wu was injured." Zhen Wu said.

Mrs. Zhang Liu shook her head solemnly and said: "No harm, let alone a little skin injury, no matter how serious the injury is, he deserves it. We will all be a family in the future. There is only such a son in my family. He Otherwise, you have to support each other with your brothers-in-law."

After Zhen Wu heard this, he had to lament Zhang Liu's high level, no wonder he was able to raise such a reliable son as Zhang Wu.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu chatted with Zhang Wu's parents for a few more gossips before leaving.

After leaving Zhang Wu's house, Zhen Wu came directly to Uncle Liu's house. Uncle Liu was sitting at the door as usual, and he thought he was demented at a sudden glance.

Zhen Wu sat beside Uncle Liu for a while, seeing that Uncle Liu didn't want to say anything, thought about it and went to the street to buy a roast chicken and a bottle of wine, then went back and sat down beside Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu was really attracted by the roast chicken.

This old guy is so old, and he only likes chickens, so there is no one else.

Zhen Wu asked with a smile: "Uncle Liu didn't hear anything yesterday?"

Uncle Liu pointed to the thing in Zhen Wu's hand.

Zhen Wu sensiblely handed it to Uncle Liu.

Unexpectedly, after Uncle Liu took the things into his hands, he pointed at the entrance of the alley and said, "Go away."

"Hey." Zhen Wu stood up abruptly, looked at Uncle Liu and said, "You're not authentic, are you?"

Uncle Liu just closed his eyes and leaned against the back door, not to mention moving his mouth. If it wasn't for his nose not being able to stop, he might not even want to take a breath through his nose.

"You are a real uncle, otherwise people often call him an uncle."

Zhen Wu complained angrily, but it didn't work, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave. But just after he turned and left, Uncle Liu's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but mutter in contempt.

"Monkey boy, come to test your grandpa."

At the entrance of the alley, a group of old ladies formed an information booth, exchanging information. When Zhen Wu came over, he heard them muttering for a long time, and for some reason now they were talking about someone's gossip again.

At this moment when they saw Zhen Wu coming out with an unhappy face, an old lady immediately spoke up and asked in a strange way: "Boss Zhen, your eldest daughter is engaged, when will you get married, look What happened in your family yesterday may affect your marriage."

In the past, Zhen Wu would also be happy to chat with them, but now he is really not in the mood, and he just said in a weird way: "Hey, take a look, it seems that another year has passed by now, this time I'm not in the mood to talk to you." But you are one year older, I miss you every day, and I am afraid that you will disappear that day, and you will be married and funeral after that, you must remember to notify in advance, our neighbors have been appointed to you for so many years."

Grandma's, I'm used to chewing my tongue, I'm really old, no one can cure it.

joke.

A group of old ladies stared straight at the eyes, and almost didn't realize it suddenly. Their grandchildren are all married, so where is the marriage? Isn't this just a funeral?

When Zhen Wu returned home, he first looked at Lao San and Cao Xiaoman, seeing that the problem was not serious, Zhen Wu felt relieved a lot, only thinking about Zhao Jinhu's problem.

I don't know what happened to Zhu Di's investigation, I guess Zhu Di is also very angry, because no matter who is playing tricks in the patrol camp, it is equivalent to slapping Zhu Di hard.

While thinking about it, Zhu Yuying unexpectedly came over, with a maid by her side and guards behind her.

Zhu Yuying was also taken aback, she didn't expect to see Zhen Wu as soon as she entered Zhen Wu's house, her eyes lit up immediately.

"This is the princess?" Zhen Wu asked.

After Zhu Yuying was stunned for a moment, she quickly said: "After I heard what happened last night, I was a little bit concerned about your fourth and fifth sisters, so I wanted to come over and talk to them."

Zhen Wu let out a sigh, nodded understandingly and said: "They are fine, they just got a little frightened, after sleeping, they look much better now."

"Then... what about you? I'm also a little worried about you." Zhu Yuying was a little shy, but she still asked.

"Me? What can I have..."

As he said that, Zhen Wu noticed Zhu Yuying's expression, and Zhen Wu felt a little nervous when he found out, "This...Thank you, princess, for your concern, and I'm fine."
