Daming: From the end of Hongwu

The boy nodded, and looked at Meng Ju with adoring eyes.

"Okay, let's rest first, and we'll talk about it when we have something to refresh ourselves." After finishing speaking, Meng Ju got up and walked outside.

After the boy closed his eyes, he touched his chest habitually, and the next moment he fumbled anxiously around his chest, but it was still empty, and the boy's expression changed drastically.

"Too bad, uncle."

Mengju looked back suspiciously.

The young man turned pale and said, "I lost the jade pendant my father gave me."

Meng Ju was stunned for a moment, then suddenly panicked: "How could the jade pendant be lost? Don't you always wear it next to your body? Do you know that it will lose your head, and many people's heads will be lost."

……

In just one hour, people came and went in a hurry in Yan Wang Mansion, as if all the excitement at Zhen Wu's house had been moved to Yan Wang Mansion.

Some came with companions, some came alone, and some were signed.

Zhu Di received everyone with great interest, and also read every handbook, and then wrote down the categories one by one on the paper.

"Ten people came to ask me to severely punish Zhen Wu. In contrast, only six interceded for Zhen Wu. It seems that Zhen Wu's popularity is not good. In vain, I heard Fan Guanghua say that Zhen Wu is a good character and has many friends. .”

Yang Jing said: "What Zhen Qianhu did this time is very bold in the eyes of outsiders. If you are not very friendly, how could you plead with His Highness? Like Zhen Qianhu, he blatantly led his subordinates to arrest him. It is enough to cut off his head. Now, under such circumstances, many irrelevant people who don’t know the inside story, but keep silent and don’t add trouble to others, in the eyes of humble staff, it’s already rare and precious.”

Zhu Di thought about it, and said with a smile, "That's true."

Afterwards, Zhu Di handed over the list of Zhen Wu's severe punishments to Yang Jing, and said, "Look, compare what you found, don't wrong people."

Yang Jing took a look at it and said: "This time I appeared at Zhen Wu's house, and along with the pigeons at Mengju's house, a total of thirteen people were found, and all ten people were selected, without exception."

"Okay, in the past they used carrier pigeons to communicate, and I'm not sure about anything, but once this incident happened, hmph, one counts as one, and they can't be wronged. Can you send someone to keep an eye on them all?"

"People have been arranged to keep an eye on them all day," Yang Jing said.

"Well, I don't worry about your work, that's right."

Zhu Di thought of something and asked, "How is the evidence for Zhen Yong being framed? Zhen Wu did a good job this time. Don't let him complain that I don't care about his brother, and I have to borrow the frame. Pull out the horse and talk about it."

"Still investigating, Meng Ju and the others planned very carefully. There was no one in the place where the fight took place, and the only witness he saw was already under Meng Ju's control. However, I guess that this witness was also arranged by Meng Ju in advance, so we are following along. Check the identity of the witness down the line."

Zhu Di nodded.

Yang Jing then said: "Your Highness may be interested in one thing. When we investigated this, we found that Zhen Qianhu also sent people to investigate along this line, but they lacked authority and manpower, and seemed to be in trouble."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing: "This dog is prepared with two hands, don't believe me." After laughing, he looked straight and told Yang Jing, "I'll give you two days, and you must check it out for me. Don't let me be in Zhen I lost face in front of Wu."

"Yes."

……

In Zhen Wu's house, Zhen Wu listened to Zhang Wu's report, pondered for a while, and said: "I believe in the third child, and even if the third child is wrong, Tan Zhong and the others can't all be wrong, so the third child must not have killed by mistake. , then there is a problem with that witness, this may be our only breakthrough, you take someone to investigate further, don't give up."

Zhang Wu nodded, and then looked worriedly at Zhen Wudao: "Boss Zhen, speaking of which, you are my boss. After I marry Er Xian, you will also be my elder brother. I can't question you at all, but I also think that your matter this time It's too reckless, since you know that the third child is innocent, why bother to confront Zhongwei Zhenfu, not to mention seeking justice for His Highness, even if the third child is taken away, so many of us in the right guard will help the third brother to clear up his grievances of."

"It's good now. You have annoyed His Highness and asked you to close the door at home. The third child's matter has not been resolved, and you have also gotten into trouble."

There was a whiff of complaint in Zhang Wu's mouth.

Zhen Wu shook his head amusedly, "Some things are inconvenient to tell you, but you will understand later."

Zhang Wu thought for a while, but couldn't think of the benefits of Zhen Wu's actions, so he curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, even if you fall, I will treat the two sages well, and I will... help you in the future. "

Zhen Wu took a deep breath.

Before the building collapsed, I wanted to stand on top of Lao Tzu.

Zhen Wu couldn't help kicking it out: "Go away, find a way to check down quickly."

Zhang Wu nodded and left, gave Zhen Wu a trusting look, and when he walked to the door, he glanced at Cao Xiaoman next to him.

After Cao Xiaoman's accident, Zhen Wu had someone transfer Cao Xiaoman and others from Xiaolingzhuang immediately. At such an important moment, Zhen Wu learned a lesson. After Wu's last talk, on the third day, he fixed all the personnel, and brought them all over this time.

Zhang Wu stepped forward, patted the shoulder of Cao Xiaoman who was guarding the door, put on a straight face on purpose, took out the posture of the boss, and said: "Don't think that Boss Zhen is locked up at home, you can relax, if you dare Negligence, see how I deal with you."

hiss.

When Zhen Wu in the room heard it, he took off his shoes and threw them out.

grandma's.

There are always fools who think they have stood up.

Zhang Wu threw the shoes to Zhen Wu, smiled, and ran away like flying, but just after he left the courtyard, he stopped and sighed again, looked in the direction of Erxian's courtyard, and said firmly to himself in a low voice. Yu said: "Don't be afraid, Erxian, there is me. If your elder brother can't support the house, I will help you support it."

And Zhen Wu squinted and asked Cao Xiaoman, "Do you think Zhang Wu is a fool?"

Cao Xiaoman shook his head reflexively, but when he saw Zhen Wu with a bad look on his face, he nodded quickly, scratched his head and said honestly: "I don't know, anyway, I will do whatever you want me to do, I will Just trust you."

"That sounds comfortable." Zhen Wu smiled heartily, and then said: "Okay, go down and tell your people, cheer up these two days, and don't relax your vigilance at night."

After Cao Xiaoman nodded, he turned around and ran to make arrangements.

Zhen Wu smiled, this is the qualified captain of the personal army, and he was transferred here immediately.

Chapter 158 - Jade Pendant

Night falls.

After Zhen Wu dealt with the matter briefly, he walked into Zhang Yuqing and the others' yard. He had a headache and didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yuqing and the others.

When Zhang Yuqing saw Zhen Wu coming, he quickly asked the two sages to serve the food.

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't eaten because of his busy schedule, unexpectedly Zhang Yuqing and the others hadn't eaten either, he looked at the group of women and children and sighed.

"mother,

Sorry, the third child was taken away. "

Zhang Yuqing forced a smile and said: "You are the head of the family, so you don't have to tell your mother about these things. If the third child commits a crime, you can protect it if you are an older brother. If you can't keep the family, you won't blame you." .”

Erxian quickly arranged the meals, but the whole family was staring at each other without any appetite.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Yuqing and said, "Mother, don't worry, the third child is fine. I guarantee that the third child will come back alive and well within a month at most."

Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu with bright eyes.

Zhen Wu nodded heavily, and said again: "I promise."

The melancholy on Zhang Yuqing's face disappeared a lot in an instant, and even the second sage, the fourth sister and the fifth sister were relieved. Zhen Wu was not at home often, and when he was at home, he was also the head of the family. As Zhen Wu's prestige at home became more and more Gao, no one has dared to play temper with Zhen Wu for a long time,

But the third child is different, he is often at home, whether it is with Zhang Yuqing, the second sage, or the fourth and fifth younger sisters, as well as the younger six and younger seven, there are often some quarrels between them.

If you are in a hurry, you will complain and complain.

But the third child was taken away, and within a day, everyone was already worried.

What kind of family, what kind of temperament, his family all value love.

After dinner, Zhen Wu came to the third child's room, and did not light the lights at night. He quietly thought about the development of this matter, wondering if the palace had already found something out of it, thinking about it, the second sage Came over with a light on.

Er Xian saw Zhen Wu sitting in the room, she was startled, but when she looked again, her heart suddenly felt sore, she gently put down the lamp,

Walking behind Zhen Wu, he squeezed Zhen Wu's shoulders.

"Brother, are you tired?"

Zhen Wu shook his head.

Er Xian said: "I know, I used to feel tired thinking about how to earn tens of pennies, not to mention you support our big family now."

"Different."

"What's the difference."

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said, "It's like I feel tired after cooking a meal, and it's even more difficult to imagine that you take care of the housework day after day."

"There's nothing like housework." Er Xian said.

"It's very important in my heart. If this family didn't have you, it wouldn't be what it is now. In many places, my brother can't compare to you."

"elder brother."

Er Xian was dissatisfied with what Zhen Wu said, and deliberately used force with his hands, but then sighed, not intending to say more on this topic, and changed the subject: "Brother, it's time for you to find us a sister-in-law."

amount.

Zhen Wu suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, he waved his hand to tell the two sages to stop pinching, stood up and said: "Don't talk, don't talk, it's time to go back and rest."

The two sages knew Zhen Wu's temperament, so they gave Zhen Wu a blank look, and let Zhen Wu stop talking, and turned around to clean up the old clothes that the third child changed during the day.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I'll gather them up and wash them together tomorrow." Erxian said, his hands kept moving.

Sudden.

Erxian snorted, "When will Sanyong have a jade pendant?!"

Zhen Wu glanced at it and didn't take it seriously: "Young man, it's no big deal to buy a jade pendant."

"No, where did he get the money? It can't be stolen, right? There's blood on it, and, brother, look, there's also a name." Er Xian said doubtfully.

Zhen Wu became interested, took the jade pendant and looked at it.

Yu Yun.

This should be a personal name. Zhen Wu said it twice, and somehow felt a little familiar, but Zhen Wu thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of it for a while, so he said: "I will take this jade pendant first, and I will give it to the third brother later." , go to bed early after you’re done.”

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu returned to his courtyard while thinking again.

The more Zhen Wu thought about it, the more familiar it became, and gradually he was sure that he must have seen this name before.

Unable to let go of this matter for a while, I went to the study.

Since he was promoted to [-] households, there have been more and more official duties. In addition, he learned to write before, so he built a study room, but relatively speaking, he didn't have much time to use the study room. Recently, all the materials he investigated Mengju were placed in the study room .

Zhen Wu lit the lamp, and began to look through Meng Ju's information again.

The first glance fell on Meng Ju's nephew's name, Wang Yun.

Zhen Wu frowned.

Could it be his?Accidentally fell into the arms of the third child while fighting with the third child?This is possible, but the name on the jade pendant is also wrong. If it belongs to Wang Yun, it should be engraved with Wang Yun, and there is no reason to engrave Yu Yun.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu looked at Wang Yun's biological parents on the information, and there was no one with the surname Yu. Zhen Wu shook his head and focused on other aspects.

Slowly, Zhen Wu got nothing and had to give up.

Zhen Wu yawned, threw the jade pendant on the desk, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Time passed little by little.

Slowly it was late at night.

When Zhen Wu was sleeping in a daze, a few fierce dog barks woke up Zhen Wu who was not dead in an instant. Zhen Wu quickly dressed, picked up his waist knife, and walked out. Just when he came to the front yard, Cao Xiaoman Just ran over.

"What happened?" Zhen Wu asked.

The barking of the dog is obviously wrong.

Cao Xiaoman said: "When I heard the movement, I checked it immediately. There were footprints on the outer wall. It should be that someone wanted to climb over the wall and was scared away by the dog."

Zhen Wu couldn't help but curse secretly.

"Are you sure everyone is scared away?"

Cao Xiaoman shook his head in embarrassment.

"In this way, go and wake up Ma Ren, Ma Yi, and other people who are resting, light up a few more lanterns, and go through the house bit by bit to see if anyone has slipped in, and check all the empty rooms One more time, and also check my courtyard, I will sleep in the third room tonight and guard my mother's courtyard, and you all have a careful look at the other places."

"Yes." After Cao Xiaoman took the order, he went quickly.

Zhen Wu cursed and went to the third child's room with a knife in his hand.

His grandma's still makes people stop.

No sleep for one night.

Zhen Wu's spirit was a little low, but fortunately, nothing happened, but then, Zhen Wu began to wonder, who would be the person who came in the middle of the night?Mengju people?

But now that Mengju and the others have the upper hand, he should be the one who is anxious.

How could it be possible to send someone to his house in the middle of the night? It was completely unnecessary.

Zhen Wu shook his head. He didn't know why he didn't sleep all night, or what happened. He always felt that his brain was not enough, and he couldn't figure out many things.
