Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Jiaofang Division.

"I didn't know about my humble position until later, but it should have been Fei Qingshan's decision. I didn't expect that he would do such an extreme thing. It is so ill-considered. If it is exposed, wouldn't it bring trouble to the prince?"

After hearing what the old man in black robe said, Cao Yan couldn't help but feel nervous, then nodded slowly and pretended to complain.

"This matter is indeed his fault. No matter how bad it is, we should not rely on the forces that go against the party! If the prince knows about this, I am afraid he will never tolerate it!"

"But since the person is dead now, the prince will naturally not pursue it any further, but how they died still needs to be found out!"

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. Since I have come to Kyoto, I must investigate this matter clearly. If it is really an accident, that's it. But if someone kills someone and wants to destroy the body and eliminate traces, then for us , that’s too passive!”

"Therefore, before I leave Kyoto, I hope that Chief Cao will assist me and help me investigate this matter as soon as possible!"

The old man in black robe looked at Cao Yan and said meaningfully, but found nothing wrong with Cao Yan.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best for my humble duty!"

Cao Yan bowed respectfully and said firmly.

The old man in black robe nodded with satisfaction, stood up and left without saying anything more.

"Your Majesty, walk slowly!"

Cao Yan respectfully walked to the door.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black robe quickly disappeared into the night.

Seeing that the old man in black robe finally left, Cao Yan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the room and sat helplessly on the chair. His expression was complicated, his brows were full of struggle, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was full of fear for the old man just now, but there was another person in his heart that made him even more fearful.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Yan made up his mind and quietly left the Jiaofang Division.

...

child time.

The back door of Hongwu Bookstore.

After three consecutive knocks, one long and two short, a figure quickly appeared in the courtyard, went straight to the back door and opened it.

The shopkeeper of Hongwu Bookstore, Du Qian.

"Your Highness!"

After seeing the people outside the door, Du Qian bowed respectfully and immediately stepped aside.

Standing outside the door were Zhu Yunxi and Hong Yuan who came late at night after receiving the news from Du Qian.

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything. He took Hong Yuan through the back door and walked straight to the back hall.

Du Qian stuck his head out and glanced around, quickly closed the back door, and followed quickly.

In the side hall, there was a person sitting on a chair with a sad look on his face, his brows furrowed. When he saw Zhu Yunxi appear, he stood up hurriedly.

"I have met His Highness!"

This person is none other than Cao Yan!

Seeing Cao Yan, Zhu Yunxi immediately showed a meaningful smile on his face, walked in with his hands behind his back, and sat directly on the main seat.

Du Qian stopped when he reached the door. Instead of following into the hall, he closed the door and stood guard outside.

Hongyuan followed Zhu Yunxi. After entering the door, she picked up the teapot on the table and slowly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yunxi.

"sit."

Zhu Yunxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, while raising his hand to signal to Cao Yan, who was dumbfounded and nervous.

But at this time, Cao Yan's face was filled with nervousness and a hint of bewilderment. He hesitated for a moment and rested his buttocks on the chair. Unconsciously, sweat appeared on his forehead.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi showed up here so late was precisely because he received a message from Du Qian, saying that Cao Yan had something urgent to report.

After Cao Yan promised to be loyal from now on, Zhu Yunxi told Cao Yan that if he had any questions in the future, he could pass the news through Hongwu Bookstore.

But when Cao Yan saw Zhu Yunxi who was careless at this time, he was full of doubts and at a loss.

In his heart, he had tried every means to convince himself of the decision. Seeing Zhu Yunxi's indifferent look at this moment, he suddenly felt unsure.

But the more he hesitated, the more indifferent Zhu Yunxi seemed, remaining silent and just sipping his tea.

"The tea is good, would you like a cup, Mr. Cao?"

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly turned his head and smiled at Cao Yan, and asked slowly, not forgetting to shake the teacup in his hand as he spoke.

"Your Highness, I have something to report!"

This question made Cao Yan, who was so distraught, finally unable to sit still any longer. He stood up, bowed respectfully, and said nervously.

"I think that if I don't take the initiative to speak tonight, you won't be ready to say anything."

"I thought that Chief Cao was still swaying in his mind."

Zhu Yunxi put down his tea cup, slowly looked at Cao Yan, and said meaningfully.

"How dare you, a lower official?!"

"From the moment I promised to be loyal to His Highness, I have been determined to follow His Highness all the time!"

"This official's loyalty to His Highness can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Just when Cao Yan was about to report, his expression suddenly changed after hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, and he immediately said with fear and fear, his face instantly turned pale.

"Is it someone from the north?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Cao Yan and got straight to the point.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's sudden question, Cao Yan was shocked. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief.

He never expected that Zhu Yunxi actually knew about this matter!

Just imagine, what would have happened if I had not taken the initiative to report tonight? !

Thinking of this, a chill instantly rose up on Cao Yan's back, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"No need to be nervous, and no need to be surprised."

"As long as I want to know about the matters in Kyoto, nothing can be hidden from my eyes and ears."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said leisurely.

"Your Highness is indeed very powerful, and I respect you!"

Cao Yan bowed his hands, swallowed and said.

He was glad that he had made up his mind again after wavering just now, otherwise he would probably not be able to walk out of this yard alive tonight!

"Tell me, what is the origin of this person who suddenly came to Kyoto?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked lightly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this person's name is Zhang Yu, and he is a confidant of King Yan!"

Cao Yan bowed his hands and said respectfully.

Hearing the name Zhang Yu, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He was no stranger to this name, and he vaguely remembered that this man was the most courageous and skilled general in the Yan army during the Battle of Jingnan in history. He had made numerous meritorious deeds, and was even given the title of No. 1 Hero of Jingnan by Zhu Di later. !

However, among the intelligence detected by Feihu, there is very little information about this person, because this person seems to be an extremely cautious person, and he often sees the beginning but not the end.

"I've heard a little bit that Mr. Cao is so frightened. Is it because this person is difficult to deal with?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Cao Yan and then asked.

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, this man is extremely scheming, cruel and ruthless in his actions. He is highly skilled in martial arts. He is one of King Yan's right-hand men."

"Under King Yan, there are two people who should not be underestimated. One is the guard commander of King Yan's palace, Zhu Neng, and the other is this person, Secret Supervisor Zhang Yu!"

Cao Yan nodded affirmatively and said with fear.

"Secret Supervision Department?!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this word, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In his memory, he only remembered that Zhang Yu was a military general, but he did not expect that he had such an identity. The term "Secret Supervision Department" was never mentioned in history books.

"That's right!"

"As your Highness knows, our spies lurking in Kyoto City are under the control of the Secret Supervision Department. Zhang Yu is the controller behind the scenes, specializing in commanding the secret stakes of the world for King Yan."

"No one knows how powerful the Secret Supervision Department is. In short, there are secret stakes of the Secret Supervision Department in all the cities from Kyoto to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Furthermore, under the Secret Supervision Department, in addition to the spy agents who are responsible for collecting intelligence, there is also a killer branch that is responsible for assassinations. However, there is no contact between the secret agents and the assassins, so it is unclear how many assassins are raised in the Secret Supervision Department. No one knows either.”

After Cao Yan nodded heavily, he said solemnly while thinking.

After hearing Cao Yan's answer, even Zhu Yunxi could not help but frown. He did not expect that under the command of King Yan Zhu Di, there was actually a secret force almost similar to his own.

I originally thought that as long as I defeated Zhu Yunwen and developed some foundations in the court, I would have the opportunity to compete with Zhu Di for the throne in the future, but now it seems that it is not as easy as I imagined to achieve what I want. ..
