Chapter 173 is finished.

At this time, besides Zhang Anshi, standing by Zhu Di’s side were Ji Gang and Deng Wu.

This duo was emboldened.

Hearing that this Chin case actually did not end, especially this Ji Gang, but also people are numb.

Another step slower.

One step behind, everywhere.

Combined with His Majesty’s promotion of Zhang Anshi to Commander Commander of the Jinyiwei, it made him inexplicably annoyed in his heart.

Of course, he was clear that Zhang Anshi was, after all, only a scourge, and right now, the one that really set him on fire and had to be distracted to deal with it was precisely Deng Wu.

After Deng Wu became a co-conspirator, he began to buy people’s hearts in the guards, and he was not as respectful to him as he once was as a commanding officer.

Ji Gang knew very well that the commanding officer was just a name, and once he couldn’t even instruct Deng Wu, then more and more lieutenants wouldn’t be able to regenerate a sense of reverence for him.

In the long run, he may be nothing.

Zhu Di carried his hands behind his back and never said a few words to Ji Gang, but was the first to enter this small hall.

As soon as Lu Zhen saw Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi fishtailing in, he didn’t have much of an expression on his face, except for his eyes turning a bit, still sitting as if he was a living dead man.

At this point today, in fact, no matter who is in front of him, he already knows his end.

It all becomes meaningless.

He has no interest in anything except facing death head on.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, “I am only here to listen.”

Zhang Anshi nodded, “Yes, then I will begin.”

Zhu nodded.

Zhang Anshi glanced at Lv Zhen, then said, “Minister Lv, goodbye.”

“Meeting again.” Lu Zhen smiled bitterly, “Hey …… old man thought that the last time was the last time.”

Zhang Anshi said, “One last time, don’t you think it’s too cheap?”

Lu Zhen bowed his head, silent.

Zhang Anshi said, “Well, we gossip less, now …… you have anything to explain?”

Lu Zhen shook his head, still the same answer as before, “Everything is at the behest of the old man, I colluded with the Tatars ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “You know I don’t want to hear this.”

“But that’s all old me knows.” Lu Zhen bitterly said, “Is it still necessary to ask how many times? If the marquis must teach old me to admit to falsehoods, old me is naturally willing to admit, old me knows your methods.”

Zhang Anshi sighed before saying, “I gave you many chances, but you still ignored them, originally I didn’t want to take things too far, then …… this is what you forced me to do.”

Lu Zhen remained unmoved, only saying, “Old me has fallen into such a state, even if the Marquis does something, old me will not resent it.”

Zhang Anshi said, “There will be no tears without seeing the coffin.”

Lu Zhen said, “No, I have already seen the coffin, I only seek a death, naturally, I also know that I have sinned deeply, the so-called thousands of hardships but only one death, now I am seeking death but can’t get it.”

Zhu Di’s face revealed a displeased color, these two people you a word and I a word, but not a word into the main topic.

But at this moment, Zhang Anshi, as if he were a cat playing with a mouse, said in a loud voice without any hesitation, “Lv Zhen, it’s not the Tartars at all that you’re colluding with!”

This statement is a stone’s throw away.

He spoke suddenly this loud.

Even Zhu Di, who was bored and drowsy from listening, winced.

But …… Lu Zhen has no reaction.

Zhang Anshi stared at Lu Zhen and said, “Am I right?”

Lu Zhen’s face was expressionless: “Whatever the Marquis says is what it is, I guess, as I said earlier, whatever the Marquis wants the old man to confess to, the old man can cooperate.”

Zhang Anshi smiled, “You both say so, or good, then it may …… be worthwhile for us to tell a story.”

“Old me is all ears.” Lu Zhen pulled out a forced smile and said.

He liked hearing stories, at least better than being tortured.

Zhang Anshi said, “From the beginning, you did play the signboard of colluding with the Tatars, and the vast majority of people …… such as the stream of Chen Wenjun were indeed compelled by this signboard, and those who still have the so-called remnants of the former dynasty in their hearts have subsequently become your minions.”

“Even …… your collusion with the Tartar Ministry is true. You have created a connection with the Tartar Ministry and used the former dynasty as a rallying cry, it looks …… as if everything is perfect.”

At this moment, Lu Zhen lowered his head and didn’t respond in any way, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zhang Anshi then said: “But in reality, this is just you and the people behind the scenes to play a good show, because to do so, there are three benefits, one: even if Chen Wenjun these minions were taken, the court traced down, may also be just a case of collusion with the Tartar Ministry. Second: you precisely utilize some of the readers, thinking of the former dynasty of the mind. Borrowing them to cover up your true purpose, you can also utilize them to prepare for your next move.”

Lu Zhen face did not have the slightest fluctuation, he even reluctantly laughed, this laughter is very bitter, the implication seems to say: this story …… is really a little bit people do not know what to say.

Zhang Anshi is then said: “The third thing is that …… you do have the intention of colluding with the Tatars, because only the northern border towns are in chaos, you have the opportunity to take chestnuts in the fire.”

Lu Zhen said, “Marquis is really a storyteller, this story …… is very good.”

Zhang Anshi, however, looked at Lu Zhen coldly: “And all of these, in fact, are just appearances, what kind of person are you, Lu Zhen, you are not a fool like Chen Wenjun, you know better than anyone else that the so-called restoration of the Great Yuan is nothing more than a fool’s dream! A shrewd person like you, how could you risk your life because of this?”

Zhu Di came to be interested at this time, he was pondering, sometimes observing Lu Zhen’s reaction, sometimes looking at Zhang Anshi.

In this small hall outside, Ji Gang and Deng Wu two people are still standing respectfully, at this time each other’s eyes relative, between the eyes, can not help but with a few points of coldness.

I only saw Zhang Anshi in the hall continue, “Three birds with one stone, what a good tactic.”

Lu Zhen said, “The Marquis thinks so highly of old me that I have such heavenly abilities, I really don’t know if I should thank the Marquis.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Then thank me.”

Zhang Anshi gave Lu Zhen a deadly stare, “Soon, you’ll be even more grateful to me!”

After saying that, Zhang Anshi turned his head, and looked at the eunuch beside him, “I’ll trouble the eunuch if he can go and ask my brother, to bring that child.”

These words seemed to be an understatement, and even Zhang Anshi’s tone was very relaxed.

But in that instant, Lu Zhen’s face suddenly changed.

He lowered his head and tried his best to hide his expression, but his body actually subconsciously began to tremble.

Zhang Anshi smiled and looked at him, “Do you know …… who the child you brought is?”

Lu Zhen’s throat rolled, swallowed, and stammered slightly, “I …… I …… didn’t realize ……”

“You know!” Zhang Anshi gazed at Lu Zhen and said with a smirk, “You must feel surprised.”

Lu Zhen suddenly gritted his teeth and looked hideously at Zhang Anshi, “What exactly do you want to do?”

Zhang Anshi looked at Lu Zhen, “You’re a smart man, don’t you know what I’m thinking?”

“I ……” Lu Zhen’s face began to distort and his body trembled even more, “Zhang Anshi, I don’t share the same fate as you.”

He tried to get up.

But he was easily pressed back into his seat by two eunuchs on one side.

Within Lu Zhen’s eyes, with despair, yet unwillingly, he said, “Do you really want to put me to death before you give up?”

Zhang Anshi, on the contrary, was calm and relaxed at this time, and said lightly, “I gave you a chance in the beginning, but you didn’t seize it yourself, so why are you questioning me like this now?”

Lu Zhen then hung his head and tried hard to calm his emotions.

At this time …… Zhu Yong actually came holding a child.

The kid looked two or three years old, and Zhu Yong grinned at him and said, “Take a guess who is your father?”

The child seemed frightened and said nothing in terror.

Lu Zhen looked up, looked at the child, and fiercely wanted to stand up, but unfortunately …… was held down hard.

The boy cried out in terror at the sight.

When he cried, Lu Zhen became even more agitated, and he exclaimed under his breath, “Zhang Anshi, if you have the guts, kill my old man …… Come on, kill my old man …….”

Zhang Anshi glared at Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong then coaxed the child, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, uncle will take you to see the big goldfish.”

The boy only barely stopped crying and was carried away by Zhu Yong.

Zhang Anshi smiled and looked at Lu Zhen and said, “Say it, say it …… maybe you can really be extrajudicial, His Majesty is here, this is your last chance.”

Lv Zhen lost his mind and sat down on the brocade pier all of a sudden, his eyes penetrating deep despair.

He opened his mouth, but it was as if it were a mime.

Zhang Anshi continued to encourage him, “Things have come to this point, if I were you, I would definitely say so.”

Lu Zhen slid down from the brocade pier, plopped down on his knees, and said with great difficulty, “I …… will die!”

When he said that, he raised his face and he was seen to have red eyes and old tears.

Zhu Di had an odd look on his face, not realizing that this Lu Zhen had completely changed his face from the party.

Zhu only snorted coldly and remained silent.

Zhang Anshi said, “Can you speak now?”

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and said, “Indeed …… indeed as the …… marquis said ……”

He is like a fish in the throat look, but still played a twelve-minute spirit, actually this time obedient: “collusion Tartar Department, is simply to cover up people’s ears, of course …… know about this matter, only the old man …… and the old man Behind that person, as for others, but are pawns, whether it is Chen Wenjun, or other people …… they are but a group of fools, and the purpose of doing so, but also really as the marquis said that, both can borrow some people think of wistfulness of the former dynasty to recruit troops, but also can be used to really contact the Tartar Department, to lead it as foreign aid, and there are also …… once the east window is discovered, can also fish eyes to mix up the pearl.”

Zhu Di tensed his face, into his mother s …… eyes this person …… really black through.

If Chen Wenjun and those people are stupid, then Lu Zhen only feels dirty in Zhu Di’s eyes.

Zhang Anshi said, “Who ordered you?”

Lu Zhen warily said, “Yes …… yes ……”

Zhu bellowed, “Who is it?”

Lu Zhen raised his head, and after taking another deep breath, he said, “The one who conspires with me …… is also the king of generation.”

Zhu’s pupils contracted violently.

This time, it was Zhu Di’s turn to change his face abruptly.

He rose up with a loud voice and said, “The Acting King?”

Lu Zhen nodded, “Acting King!”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, “Do you want to divide the Heavenly Family?”

Lu Zhen kowtowed: “I …… do not dare to …… All …… this is a conspiracy between me and the King of Dai, as well as the King of Dai’s wife and brother Xu Wen. ”

Zhu Di was so angry that he trembled: “Generation King …… Generation King ……”

He began to grow agitated, pacing back and forth, his face growing more and more somber.

This is obviously something Zhu never expected.

Zhu Gui, the King of Dai, was the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, not only that, Zhu Gui’s mother, is Guo Hui Fei.

This Guo Hui Fei, is the Queen Ma’s sister, to some extent, Hongwu years, after the death of Queen Ma, the harem, almost all Guo Hui Fei management.

Zhu Di, in the beginning, was not less favored by Guo Hui Fei.

So it raises another, even trickier, issue.

It is because of the special nature of the King of Dai, but also let Zhu Di after the success of the Jingan, the original towns in the border towns of the princes, all of them migrated to the Guan, as if afraid of them to embrace the army.

Only the king of Dai, because Zhu Di trusted him, his clan remained in Datong.

Datong is the most important border town in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and like Beiping and Daning, it is also an extremely important place to canton troops.

At this moment, Zhu Di revealed an incredulous look and glanced back at Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen said, “Your Majesty doesn’t believe …… me …… I have proof ……”

“Evidence?” Zhu Di gazed at Lu Zhen, “What evidence?”

“The Dai Wang’s side consort’s brother Xu Wen, is lurking in the capital. In addition to this, the sinful minister also secretly hid some of the Dai Wang’s letters …… These letters, which should have been destroyed, but the sinful minister privately hid some of them.”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, “I understand.”

By this time, Zhu Di has obviously realized clearly that this matter …… is true.

Zhu Di said, “When was the collusion?”

“When I was serving as governor of Zhending Prefecture, at that time, His Majesty had already entered the capital, I was extremely reluctant at that time, feeling that His Majesty had succumbed to his talent, and at this time …… someone had sought out my …… and told me… …I have the phase of Yao Guangxiao!”

Chu: “……”

Zhang Anshi was also too shocked to speak.

Instead, Zhu calmly continued to ask, “And after that?”

Lu Zhen said: “After that I began to negotiate with them, and only then I realized that the original was actually the people of the House of the King of the generation, that is, that Xu Wen, this Xu Wen told me, His Majesty into the city of Nanking, the chicken and the dogs, even Qiu Fu, these no-name pawns in the army at the beginning of the time, can actually be awarded the title of Marquis and worship the Prime Minister, and people like me, the people in Zhen Dingfu, I am afraid that His Majesty has long since forgotten about me. ”

“We hit it off, then they used their connections, and gave me many silver, while they were here in Nanking, and asked someone to bail me out, and then …… this is how I was re-remembered by your majesty, and what has happened since then …… your majesty should have already know.”

Chu: “……”

No wonder this Lu Zhen, every time he said that he was the governor of Zhending in the first place, he carried a look of resentment.

Zhendingfu is indeed not far from Datong, especially after Zhu Di entered the city of Nanjing, the noblest person in this north is none other than Zhu Gui, the king of generation.

He Lu Zhen a Zhending governor, Dai Wang Zhu Gui want to buy him, easy as a hand.

Zhu Di angrily said, “So you were in the capital, reduced to his minions? But …… why …… why after the east window was uncovered, you gave an account of so many accomplices, but you died and refused to confess the Acting King?”

“This should ask the Marquis of Annan ……” Lu Zhen at this time …… the psychological defense line completely collapsed.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: “Zhang Qing …… Why is this?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “If I say it, maybe Lu Gong …… No, Lu Zhen he can t afford it.”

Lu Zhen’s face changed.

Zhang Anshi said: ”The thing is like this, I see that he is dead and does not open his mouth, and so …… was thinking …… that he is such a smart person, surely he will not be able to put his hope on the so-called Tartar ministry, but he is dead and does not say anything, it is obvious that There must be a bigger accomplice behind him. But …… it has all come to this point, this is a big crime of plagiarizing the family and exterminating the family ah, such a big crime, he would rather be tortured, but also resisted death and denied it, which is obviously not his Lu Zhen s style.”

Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Di, then said, “Your Majesty, you also know that this Lu Zhen is actually a greedy and fearful of death, right, such a person, as a matter of fact, simply can not survive the sentence, but what is there to support him …… to die also refused to open his mouth?”

Zhu Di nodded, “Not bad, I also find it strange.”

Zhang Anshi said, “So I used the method of elimination.”

Zhu was surprised and said, “Exclusion?”

Zhang Anshi then said, “It is to list out all the possibilities, and then make eliminations one by one until the last possibility, then it is not far from the truth. First of all, if it’s for the silver, how could someone who is going to plunge his family into oblivion care about the silver?”

Zhang Anshi narrated, “Secondly, for righteousness? This …… is certainly also impossible, I can see, he is by no means a person like the minister, can die for righteousness.”

“And secondly, because of loyalty? This …… and a rebellious party say loyalty …… also really can not say.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued, ”So …… I thought of a possibility, could it be that …… this Lu Zhen, in addition to his well-known family… …there is also a concubine that we don’t know about? This outside room also gave him a son, the so-called cunning rabbit three grottoes, like him such a shrewd person, how could he not be worried that once the incident occurs, his Lv family will have to be extinct?”

When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly realized, “Your method of elimination is quite interesting.”

Zhang Anshi continued: ”If that is the case, then this child, where is the most appropriate place to raise it? Of course is the generation of the king or that Xu Wen …… help to raise, in this way, for Lu Zhen, he even if he was plagiarized and extinguished, at least not to break their own bloodline. But for the generation of the king, holding this in the hand, only will absolutely trust Lu Zhen …… not only let Lu Zhen activities in the capital, but also want to do everything possible, give him to call so much gold and silver.”

Zhu Di nodded his head and said, “You are talking about the child of the party? The reason why this Lu Zhen didn’t open his mouth even after he died is because it is clear that once he opens his mouth …… his child in the hands of that brute of a king of generation will also die without a burial place?”

Zhang Anshi said with certainty, “Exactly.”

Lu Zhen had a look of despair, he did not expect …… this step, but it was all guessed by Zhang Anshi.

Zhu Di said, “But …… I am still a little puzzled, since you guessed that there is a child in the hands of the beast of the generation of the king, and how …… to get this child? As far as I know, before this, you also do not know that the generation king is his accomplice.”

Zhang Anshi grinned, “Actually, there’s no need for that child at all.”

“What?” Zhu was confused.

Zhang Anshi said: ”First of all, since we have established that there is a child, and this Lu Zhen …… was not famous at the beginning, his anti heart, must have been bred after the success of his majesty in the pacification, before that, he is just a person who is not known. Then this child …… was born after the Jingwu disaster, probably not more than two years old or so. Secondly, this must be a male child, after all, only a male child, can make Lu Zhen think that left a bloodline. Then secondly, this child …… must not be raised in the capital, if raised in the capital, then Lu Zhen’s accomplices do not feel at ease, and Lu Zhen, must also feel at ease.”

Zhu Di nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Right, right, Secretary Zhang is right.”

Zhang Anshi then said: ”Isn’t this enough? I do not need Lu Zhen’s descendants at all, because since it did not stay in the capital, then Lu Zhen people have been in the capital, it is possible that from the birth of that child, he has not seen the child a face or two, your majesty is aware of, the child grows up …… but is very fast, one or two years is enough for people to not recognize it. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi added: “And I only need to have someone go and find a two year old sized boy, preferably with eyebrows similar to Lu Zhen’s, and carry this child suddenly, and then put on an appearance of wisdom, then this Lu Zhen ……”

“Puh ……” Lu Zhen is beside is will all hear everything, he at this time only feel qi and blood overturned, eyes slightly black, throat a sweet, a mouthful of old blood then sprayed out.

This blood mist immediately filled the hall.

No …… not his own child?

Did Zhang Anshi find them?

In the past few days, Lu Zhen had been in a state of mental exhaustion, and that child was the only pillar that had supported him until now.

When Zhang Anshi had someone carry the child, Lu Zhen was actually distraught.

And by the time he saw Zhu Yong holding the child, his spirit simply broke down.

At that time …… Zhang Anshi was a calm and relaxed, as if everything was in his grasp, and that child, he only glanced at him, indeed, and he is somewhat similar to him, and his age is roughly right.

He only thought that …… Zhang Anshi did not know what means he had used, but he really found this child …… out.

Where to think ……

Just as he was spitting out blood, Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he immediately jumped away, dusted off his unicorn clothes, and said, “I told you, I shouldn’t have said this in front of him, he’ll be furious if he knows the truth!”

Chu: “……”

At this time, the blue veins on Lu Zhen’s forehead had been exposed, and he no longer had the look he had at the beginning, but instead, he showed his teeth and glared at Zhang Anshi, with a look of hatred and indignation, saying, “Zhang Anshi, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. You …… you ……”

Zhang Anshi is very helpless to say: “I let you say, if you are early to say, I must plead with His Majesty, at least to you to stay a bloodline, but you have to not see the coffin do not shed tears, now well, you have confessed, that the King if you know you have confessed, must be the first one is to be your child thwarted bones and ashes. Even if the king did not kill, when the court leveled Datong, captured the king, the child …… is afraid to suffer the same as you, you do this father, how is this heartless?”

Lu Zhen only felt the sky spinning.

He suddenly laughed maniacally, “Haha …… there is no hope, there is no hope for anything, everything is finished, ha ha ha …… Lu Zhen ah Lu Zhen, how did you end up in such a situation like today ah, how did you have today ah. ”

Several eunuchs held him down.

He could not move, and after he laughed, he began to bawl, “Your Majesty …… sinned in ten thousand deaths, Your Majesty …… sinned in a moment of confusion, ah, sinned in being wrapped up in that generation of kings, that generation of kings … …Damn …… damn …… him in Datong, let people from the capital arsenal, stole a lot of pig iron and gunpowder, as well as gathered a large amount of money …… he not only has a few guards and men from Datong, but also has stored up a large number of dead soldiers, his crime is unpardonable …… Your Majesty ……”

Zhu Di looked at him coldly, as soon as he heard him mentioning the Acting King, Zhu Di’s face grew colder and colder: “Take this old dog and escort him down.”

Lu Zhen was then dragged out by the eunuchs.

Lu Zhen was not willing, and his mouth still shouted, “Your Majesty …… Your Majesty ah …… For the sake of the original work of pacification, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di then looked at Zhang Anshi: “Have someone teach this Lu Zhen to open his mouth, find out where that so-called Xu Wen he talks about is, and arrest him immediately!”

Zhang Anshi said, “This person must not know where Xu Wen is, and that Xu Wen is in the capital, so I’m afraid he won’t reveal his movements.”

Zhu frowned.

Zhang Anshi said: ”However, it is not without a way, the capital …… place, although it covers a large area, but in fact, such a person, must be living in the population intersection, but at the same time …… because they are suspicious, then Must …… both in the downtown, but also best to find a small isolated compound. At the same time, this place, the best close to the residence of the various officials, in this case, can also be at any time with people to communicate. To meet these conditions of the place, in fact, not much …… may be in the capital, only two or three places. I’ll let the people of the inner thousand households …… arrange for these places, blockade the streets and alleys of these places, and then search from house to house, this person is winged also difficult to escape.”

Zhu Di greatly hated, “If the manpower is not enough, then transfer the other people of the Jin Yiwei ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, must not, other people ……鑷ｄ笉鏀惧績锛屽彧鏈夊唴鍗冩埛鎵€锛屾墠鍊煎緱淇′换銆�”

The words, in the outside heard the real Ji Gang and Deng Wu atmosphere dare not come out, but all heart a cold.

Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a deep look, “In this regard, you are very good at this, so let’s do as you say.”

“In addition to that, I request that the Housing Model Battalion be transferred into several key roads in the capital, just in case.”

Zhu Di said, “As permitted!”

After a pause, Zhu Di grimly said, “must hold the person, do not hold this person …… I can not sleep or eat well, and that generation of the king ……”

Zhu’s face grew more and more terrifying.

He never expected …… that his own brother …… would start to follow his example.

Zhu Di coldly said, “Now that it’s come to this, don’t blame me for being unsympathetic!”

Zhang Anshi said, “I will go and do it now.”

“Come back.” Zhu suddenly said.

Zhang Anshi turned back, “What else does Your Majesty command.”

Zhu Di said, “I will issue an order to blockade the palace ……”
