Daming: From the end of Hongwu

But if I don't understand it, I don't understand it. It's obviously not right these few days, and Zhen Wu has to brace himself and be careful.

In this way, two days passed in a flash.

Prince Yan's Mansion, in Zhu Di's study.

After Zhu Di listened to Yang Jing's report, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You mean that all of them were silenced after checking the witnesses? A total of more than 20 people were silenced? Even the origin of this witness could not be found out." come out?"

Yang Jing nodded with embarrassment.

Zhu Di slammed his fist on the table. If it wasn't for someone secretly staring at Meng Ju's nephew and seeing Zhen Yong's fight with them, Meng Ju would have planted it for real. Yes, the mind can be so meticulous.

But since this is the case, there is no reason to talk about it. He is a majestic King Yan who has the right to play shameless.

"Who was following Mengju's nephew at that time? Let him stand up as a witness."

Yang Jing wondered: "But it was in secret at the time, and there was no witness to testify."

"I don't care if he is in the dark or in the open. In this case, you go to Zhen Wu and fabricate some evidence for Meng Ju. Zhen Wu is familiar with this matter. No matter what you do, I want you to convict Meng Ju to death. My subordinate loves the general, and I still want to be safe and sound, do you think I, Zhu Di, have a good temper?"

"What about the others? Did you take the opportunity to wipe out the Mengju Party?" Yang Jing asked.

Zhu Di thought for a while, then sighed unwillingly and said, "The petty crime of planting will not implicate a few people, so let the others go first and clean up slowly."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di thumped the table unwillingly.

Can't clean them all up, after all, it makes people uncomfortable, like knowing that the little concubine is thinking about others and has affection, but for the sake of rules, she has to pretend not to know.

And in these two days.

The turmoil in the city, the true and false rumors are getting hotter and hotter. There are various theories about Zhen Wu's bullying, tyranny and brutality, but gradually one of them suddenly emerged.

Zhen Wu has been imprisoned by the King of Yan, and will be executed soon.

Along with this, more and more common people discussed privately and spread word of mouth.

Zhen Wu was like an evil villain who was finally defeated by justice. Many people who didn't know the truth began to shout Yan Wang's benevolence and distinguish right from wrong.

Only some people who had contact with Zhen Wu raised a little doubt.

"The Zhen Wu I know is not that kind of person."

But this kind of argument, in the Analects of other people's "knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart", "what's so good about being an official", can't make any more waves.

Those people who miss Zhen Wu, have received benefits from Zhen Wu, and firmly believe that Zhen Wu is a good person gradually stopped arguing and just silently worried for Zhen Wu in their own homes.

And these rumors in the city were also brought into the army after the sergeant's rest.

Zhen Wu's subordinates suddenly seemed to explode.

"How is it possible, how can such a good person as our lord be what they say, I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either. My lord must start every battle and visit his injured brother after every battle. How can he bully others? It's a bit brutal, but it's also treating the enemy."

"But they all said that the adults will be questioned and beheaded."

"I don't believe it. I'm going to ask Hu Zongqi. My lord must have been wronged. I'm going to help my lord to avenge my grievances."

"Go together."

"Go together."

Voices sounded one after another, with the same words and the same firmness, representing their general approval of Zhen Wu.

These ordinary sergeants don't understand the truth, but they know that a pair of eyes can see people well.

……

CHAPTER 159 - SHORT TO KILL

When Hu Changyong found out about this, he didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the serious faces of the sergeants who came to him for questioning, their faces turned pale from shock.

He just had a drink with Zhen Wu a few days ago, why did something happen?

Hu Changyong scolded the enraged sergeant, and went to find Xue Lu in a hurry. Xue Lu is now one of their hundred households.

Zhang Wu took another hundred households with him. After hearing Hu Changyong's words, Xue Lu went out without saying a word, found his own horse, turned on his back, and took Hu Changyong straight to Zhen Wu's house.

When they arrived at Zhen Wu's house, seeing the closed door of Zhen Wu's house, the hearts of both of them sank, and they couldn't help being worried to death.

But they didn't know what to do. They wanted to knock on the door and go in to see Zhen Wu, but they felt that it was useless. They wanted to make Zhen Wu unhappy. After thinking about it, Xue Lu gritted his teeth and turned his horse back to the barracks to find Tan Wu Yuan and others.

When Xue Lu and others who didn't know the truth were running around like headless chickens for Zhen Wu, Zhen Wu was more relaxed. He leaned on the chair, put his feet on the table, and read "The Art of War" carefully study.

"Warrior of old,

Be invincible first, and wait for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible lies in oneself, and the victorious lies in the enemy. "

In the past, how could Zhen Wu have the heart to study this kind of thing, but looking at it now, how could this book be a simple military book?Be invincible first, and wait for the enemy to be victorious. As long as you protect yourself impeccably, wait for the enemy's flaws, and then seize the flaws, that is the way to win. Therefore, the invincibility lies in oneself, and the victory lies in the enemy.

Now that Zhen Wu was hooked as a bait, Meng Ju and the others had already exposed their flaws, so how could the Yan Palace be invincible?

Zhen Wu just had to wait.

this day.

Liang Fang came to report, saying that it was someone from Yan Wangfu.

Zhen Wu came out to have a look,

never seen before,

His brows furrowed suddenly,

Seeing this, Yang Jing took out the token of King Yan,

Whispered in Zhen Wu's ear: "Your Highness, let me come over to discuss a secret matter."

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, then led Yang Jing into his study.

After entering the study, after Zhen Wu asked Yang Jing to sit down, he didn't speak immediately, but looked at Yang Jing frowning and thinking.

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Zhen Qianhu doesn't have to be like this. I'm in charge of some secret affairs in the Yan Palace. It's normal that you haven't seen it, but I have been friends with Zhen Qianhu for a long time."

Zhen Wu shook his head.

"I'm not doubting your identity. Not everyone can get His Royal Highness's token. I'm just thinking, His Highness suddenly sent someone to look for me. Could it be that things are not going well?"

Yang Jing was a little surprised, but then he was relieved. Zhen Wu is a smart person, and it is very easy to talk to smart people. He can start to think about the following problems in advance from your casual move.

"You can say that, but it's not entirely true."

Afterwards, Yang Jing briefly explained the matter to Zhen Wu, and the list of members of the Mengju party was found out, but the case of the third brother's manslaughter was in trouble.

Zhen Wu frowned.

Yang Jing said: "His Royal Highness means to directly fabricate evidence to cleanse your brother and convict Mengju at the same time."

Zhen Wu frowned even deeper.

There is a possibility of being exposed if it is fabricated, although the power of King Yan is available, coupled with the cooperation of relevant personnel, the possibility of being exposed is very small.

But the problem is that now that Zhu Biao's blue jade tool is here, and Meng Ju is dying to fight back, he might not be afraid of King Yan's power. died.

And just now Yang Jing also said that Meng Ju has been a prosecutor for many years, and he is very good at this kind of criminal cases.

While thinking about it, Zhen Wu picked up the jade pendant that had been on the table, and gently twirled it in his hand. From time to time, following his thoughts, he held the jade pendant in his hand and tapped the table twice.

Yang Jing didn't bother Zhen Wu, thinking that Zhen Wu was thinking about how to fabricate evidence, so he also lowered his eyes to think, but thinking about it, his eyes casually glanced at the jade pendant in Zhen Wu's hand.

At first glance, Yang Jing didn't care. When many people think, there will be some small movements on their hands.

But when Zhen Wu pinched the jade pendant and stopped turning it, Yang Jing's expression changed when he saw the shape of the jade pendant, and he interrupted Zhen Wu's thoughts directly.

"Zhen Qianhu, may I have a look at the jade pendant in your hand?"

Zhen Wu handed the jade pendant to Yang Jing suspiciously.

Yang Jing looked at it carefully, especially when he saw the engraving on the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly shrank.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Yang Jing was instantly moved, his voice full of disbelief.

"You know him?" Zhen Wu asked.

"Tell me first, where did this jade pendant come from?"

"I found it in my third child's clothes, but it shouldn't belong to my third child. I think the name on it looks familiar, so it has been kept here for me."

"Come on, let's go to the palace now and ask your brother where did this jade pendant come from."

Zhen Wu frowned, grabbed the excited Yang Jing and said, "I'm at a loss now, can you explain to me the origin of this jade pendant first, and you are so excited, if it falls into the eyes of caring people, it will not be beautiful."

Yang Jing was held back by Zhen Wu, and immediately came back to his senses. He also knew that what Zhen Wu said was reasonable. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down, and after taking a deep look at Zhen Wu, he uttered a name.

"Yu Feng."

Yang Jing continued: "Do you know Yu Feng?"

This sentence was like a flash of lightning in Zhen Wu's mind, and then, the information about Meng Ju in Zhen Wu's mind flipped quickly.

Many years ago, when Mengju was still under the tent of Jingning Hou Yesheng, he had a good friend named Yu Feng, and Yu Feng had a child named Yu Yun.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong's nine clans for the crime of "conspiracy".

This jade pendant turned out to belong to a dead person.

No.

Maybe not dead.

Zhen Wu's eyes flashed, and Meng Ju's nephew Wang Yun suddenly came to mind. When Yu Feng's family was killed, his son Yu Yun was seven years old. Now nearly ten years have passed, isn't it the age of sixteen or seventeen? Similar age.

Zhen Wu suddenly felt the corners of his mouth dry, and he said hoarsely, "Mengju's nephew Wang Yun is sixteen or seventeen years old."

Yang Jing was shocked.

"You mean..."

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Very likely, I have never seen the third child with this jade pendant before. A few days ago, the third child had an accident and found this jade pendant that night, and someone tried to break into my house late at night. I think It is very likely that the third brother accidentally tore it off when he was fighting with Nephew Mengju, and then somehow hung it on the third brother's sleeve or waist."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and sat down in shock.

At this time, there is no rush for anything, this matter is too big, and everyone is digesting the news.

for a while.

Zhen Wu came back to his senses and asked Yang Jing: "Are you sure this jade pendant belongs to Yu Yun, the son of Yu Feng?"

Yang Jing nodded solemnly and said, "I'm very sure."

Zhen Wu frowned and looked at Yang Jing suspiciously, this matter cannot be joked, Zhen Wu wanted to know how Yang Jing was sure.

Yang Jing's lips trembled, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going to hide anything from Zhen Qianhu until now. I was Yang Jing, Marquis of Yingyang. In 15 years, I was in charge of farming in Beiping, but I was climbed by Yu Feng and others. Biting as a Hu party, fortunately His Highness rescued him at that time, and he feigned death to save his life."

I fuck.

Zhen Wu stood up abruptly, and looked at Yang Jing even more surprised, his eyes widened.

what is it today?

Two consecutive Hu parties who should have died have reappeared alive.

This world, how many secrets it has kept, is unknown.

Hu party.

The case of Hu Weiyong killed more than 3 people one after another.

Sticking is death.

Yang Jing smiled wryly and said: "I had a good relationship with Yu Feng back then. I gave Yu Feng the raw material for this jade pendant. After he spent a lot of money to carve it, he let me see it, so I definitely recognized it. "

There was silence in the room.

After a while.

Zhen Wu stabilized his mind before he said, "You don't need to tell me about this."

Yang Jing waved his hand and said: "I have been with His Highness for a long time, I know whether Zhen Qianhu is worthy of trust, and I tell you, I also ask for things, I have been like this all my life, but I have a son named Yang Hong , now 11 years old, because I don’t accompany you often, and I am very naughty, His Highness promised me before, let my son serve as your subordinate after two or three years, saying that you are good at training people.”

Speaking of this, Yang Jing continued with a smile: "Although this matter is arranged by His Highness, I will inevitably accept your kindness in the future. I have friendship with you in my real identity, and I also want you to take care of me when the time comes."

Zhen Wu took a deep look at Yang Jing. He had already boarded Zhu Di's boat, and he had to accept many things if he didn't want to. Zhen Wu closed his eyes again and took a breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he was determined.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If you enter my subordinates, I will treat you as my own. However, since you are honest with each other, I, Zhen Wu, also swear here. If you break this oath, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

Yang Jing smiled again, then straightened her expression, looked at Yu Pei and said, "Let's discuss how to make a decision on this matter."
