Chapter 174.

Zhang Anshi understood something.

Soon, wolf smoke rose from the palace.

A few Zhang Yoking and Qiu Song, who were far away in Qixia, had been babbling and looking in the direction of the capital.

As soon as he saw the rolling black smoke rising from the sky, he did not hesitate any longer.

So the Model Battalion struck.

Chen Li, a thousand-dollar man from the Inner Thousand Household Office, had long ago led his men to the Fuzimiao Temple and the Bell and Drum Towers, where he pulled out his men and began to monitor every move in the area.

Chen Li knew in his heart that if he couldn’t get anyone this time, he would be finished.

He has already foreseen that he has stood in this boat of Zhang Anshi, both Ji Gang and the new Tongzhi Deng Wu will regard him as a thorn in his side, and only by hugging Zhang Anshi’s thigh will he have a chance.

But Zhang Anshi’s thigh, where is to say hold just want to hold? If you don’t have a little bit of ability, according to this An Nan Hou’s flip-flopping nature, I’m afraid that he will immediately kick him to Java.

Therefore, after receiving the order, he made a thorough arrangement, and every street entrance was set up with concealed installations. Everywhere in the alleys, also set up manpower, and even the waterways …… are also sent to watch, to prevent people from swimming in the water to escape.

Fuzimiao here is the most complicated situation, because connected to the Qinhuai River, the roads are all connected, so he personally sit here, in this matter of their own destiny at the juncture, can not have half a sloppy.

He adopted the strategy of surrounding but not searching, because once he started searching from house to house, he was bound to have insufficient manpower on hand, so he might as well tighten his pockets first and wait for the Model Battalion to come to his aid.

More than half an hour later, the Model Battalion that had come speeding along finally arrived.

The leader of the group was Zhang Yoking, who sought out Chen Li, and once the two of them came together, this model battalion began to appear in the streets and intersections of various places.

Immediately after that, like a carpet search, by the two brocade captains and two model battalion soldiers as a group, dozens of groups, began to encroach on the door over and over again to step on the door, to search and check.

They adopted, is a three-stage search, search, two people into the mansion, the other three in the mansion periphery set up, at any time to prevent someone to climb out of the window or over the wall.

When one group had searched, they went on to search the next one, and the latter group, again, began to raid this one.

Three such searches will ensure that nothing is ever missed.

The search is targeted mainly at those who don’t leave their doors open during the week.

Or, perhaps, those with foreign accents, or even those who had no proper livelihood in the capital and could not speak of any other livelihood.

The lieutenants of the Jinyiwei are often better at detecting words, and if they dare to deceive, or reveal the cloven foot, they can take someone immediately.

And the rules of the Model Battalion’s people were to eject the other side as soon as they dared to resist.

Of course …… means more than that.

For the orders were now given that no one was to be allowed in or out of the place until the men had been searched and seized, and until they had been thoroughly searched, not a fly was to be spared.

Even at this time, Chen Li had long ago asked someone to inform the Yingtian Prefecture, asking them to prepare to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt to supply these blocked streets and alleys.

Anyway, it’s just a case of not seeing the rabbit in the hat and dying to get to the end.

…………

Somewhere in a small mansion next to that Fuzi Temple.

The sound of the piano fades.

The person playing the piano breathed out and slowly stood up.

But at that moment, there came the sound of hurried footsteps, breaking the peace of the room.

“No good, no good.”

The person playing the zither had his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he said lightly, “What is it?”

“A large number of brocade guards have appeared in the vicinity …… and all of them are …… different from the previous brocade guards …… not like those of the Northern Zhenfu Division …… at least not from this side of Fuzimiao, all of them are new faces …… and …… there are also people wearing armor … . are all heavily armored …… unlike the rest of the pro-army.”

The man playing the zither frowned, “How can that be, what’s going on around here?”

“There shouldn’t be anything …… on the Yingtianfu side …… There’s not much news, much less any other people to ventilate.”

“This is strange.” This zither playing person sank his eyebrows, lowered his head and walked a few steps, and said suspiciously, “I only heard that today that Lu Zhen was escorted into the palace, but I think that it will not be anything, it is probably that Zhu Di wants to interrogate Lu Zhen …… in person.”

“Could it be that Lu Zhen opened his mouth?”

“Absolutely impossible.” The person playing the zither shook his head, “Lu Zhen this person …… is indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is an extremely intelligent person, knowing that he can no longer be spared, he will not cut off his last back road as well, once he opens his mouth, can his son still be spared? Once he opens his mouth, will his son still be spared? At this point, it’s death either way, so why add his own son to the list? If it is someone else, I am not sure, but if it is Lu Zhen …… This person is so shrewd, I assert that he will not be like this, this is not a tiny bit of benefit to him.”

“So …… our manpower ……”

“Everything remains as planned!” The person playing the zither said coldly, “Perhaps …… something else has happened in the capital, go and poke around again.”

The man nodded, then turned and hurried away.

Just this piano player, no longer a relaxed look, face more than a few points of sadness.

Although he thought it was impossible, after all …… all things are possible.

After a few moments, noisy voices actually came from outside.

Menko exclaimed, “Who are you?”

“The brocade guards are on the job, get out of the way.”

“Bold, do you know ……”

“Come on, anyone who dares to disobey, kill without pardon ……”

Clang, the sound of a drawn knife.

The face of this zither-playing man was astonished.

He subconsciously started for his chambers.

There …… is a cellar there.

Soon, a line of people arrived here.

Someone grabbed that door: “Where is your master? Here …… seems to have no female relatives, is your master alone?”

“My master …… went out.”

“Where did it go?”

“Traveling Far ……”

“Traveling far …… haha ……”

The leader is a small flag officer of the brocade guards, this small flag patted the hilt of the knife on the waist, said:” If it is a long trip …… why is there even tea in this piano room …… How, do you underlings drink this tea? ”

“This …… my master has just gone out ……”

The small flag officer raised the tea cup, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said under his breath, “The people haven’t left, they’re here in the mansion, call for more hands immediately, this tea still has residual warmth.”

With that, a lieutenant blew a whistle.

This sudden bamboo whistle caused the Model Battalion’s soldiers and brocade-coated lieutenants to rush in from all directions.

A few moments later, the place was surrounded.

A centurion officer came with a cold face and said, “Dig three feet into the ground!”

So, dozens of people began to search inch by inch.

Even a brick wall should be knocked on to see if it’s hollow.

Finally someone stepped on the floor in the bedroom and said, “It’s empty down there.”

When this was said, some people started squatting ……

Eventually, a partition was lifted.

At the head of this place, a figure was becoming clear.

The man in the cellar, his body trembling slightly.

He couldn’t imagine that he would end up like this after all his machinations.

Until someone roughly dragged him from the cellar, he subconsciously shielded his face at the sight of light.

“This person is sneaky, nine times out of ten is that Chin prisoner.” Hundred households rejoiced: “Go to ask a thousand households, and …… this mansion, still give me rounded up, continue to check, see there is no accomplice. This nearby several mansions, also carefully search look, inside all the things …… and letters, all give me a fucking good look, less a piece, can not blame me nonchalant.”

This Momochi technique is still rough.

No matter what, first give this zither player a slap on the face, and said gruffly, “What’s the name, don’t you want to cheat people and make up an identity for yourself, that’s totally useless, you see our posture, and know that it’s the good who won’t come, no matter what you fool around with, you don’t want to hide from it.”

The person playing the zither is extremely smart, knowing that the momentum has gone, any resistance, in fact, has no meaning, actually calmly said, “Xu Wen.”

“That’s him, take him!” Baedu laughed out loud, getting a big win for nothing, it’s fucking energizing.

“This person is a smart person …… don’t make it difficult for him, how to dispose of, everything has its own holy judgment, come a team of model battalion people, with me together, ready to escort this Chin prisoner into the palace ……”

…………

Palace ……

Zhu Di sat tall, his face cloudy.

Zhang Anshi was free and easy, but he still couldn’t help but feel a little anxious inside, because he wasn’t sure if the guy named Xu Wen would be taken.

Yizuha carefully served Zhu, not daring to make a sound.

Outside this hall, Ji Gang and Deng Wu two people are still there, just all lowered their heads, the atmosphere does not dare to come out.

After a long time, someone came in hurriedly and said, “Your Majesty, the man is in custody.”

Zhu Di violently opened his eyes wide, exclaimed, “Is that Xu Wen?”

The visitor immediately said, “Exactly!”

Zhu Di eyes eyes suddenly brightened a few points, clenched his teeth and said, “Good ah, hold good, hold good, immediately sent to the palace, I want to personally interrogate!”

This is a non-trivial matter, and Zhu has too many questions in his mind.

Zhang Anshi didn’t make a sound, he actually knew very well that at this moment in time, it was better to play dead, and what to do with it was His Majesty’s business.

After more than half an hour, there was finally a cloaked man, woefully escorted in.

When he entered the hall, he was pushed by someone, he stumbled and stumbled, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was immediately kicked in the calf from behind, and before Xu Wen could react, he was already on his knees.

Zhu stood up and stared at Xu Wen closely, “What’s the name?”

This person said, “Xu Wen.”

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, “What does it have to do with Zhu XIII?”

Xu Wen said with difficulty, “My sister is the Deputy King’s side consort.”

Zhu Di coldly looked at Xu Wen and said, “I have heard that Zhu XIII has always favored that side consort Xu, is that right?”

Xu Wen was dry: “Yes.”

Zhu Di asked again, “Zhu XIII rebelled?”

This time, Xu Wen did not answer.

Zhu coldly shouted, “Speak!”

Xu Wen then said, “Yes …… yes ……”

Zhu Di looked straight at Xu Wen and continued, “Lv Zhen and you are both his accomplices?”

Xu Wen said, “Yes.”

“Why the rebellion?”

As he said these words, Zhu tensed his face, and the fire in his eyes grew a few points more.

Xu Wen is like a frosted eggplant, and at this point, he actually confessed, but when it comes to why he wants to rebel, he is silent.

At this time, Zhu Di a pair of tiger eyes such as ice front like staring at him said: “If you have succeeded in your treacherous plan, Zhu XIII can be the son of heaven, that Lu Zhen can be the prime minister, then …… you how …… about you?”

Xu Wen lowered his head and remained silent.

On the contrary, Zhang Anshi, who was on the side, smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I have a guess, I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?”

Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at Zhang Anshi and simply said, “You speak.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Zhu XIII favor is his own side consort, but generation of Wangfu’s main consort, but also Zhongshan King Xu Da’s daughter, that is, the Empress Mother’s sister, so no matter how the generation of the King favors the side consort Xu, as long as there is His Majesty and the Empress Mother, this generation of the King is to have the courage of the sky, but also do not dare to Xu Zhengfei how to do this, this Xu Wen’s sister, will always be just a side room. I think, perhaps …… in his view, only to take the road of rebellion, his sister can become the main room, will not be allowed to say can also do the queen, and he, then is a first-class royal relatives.”

Xu Wen still lowered his head, but he gave Zhang Anshi a slight sideways resentful look.

Zhu Di looked coldly at Xu Wen and said, “Just because of that? You then colluded with King Dai to plot a rebellion?”

Xu Wen finally opened his mouth: “My Xu family from Datong’s great family, is the Zhong Ding family, my sister was adopted by the generation of the king as a consort, because of this, I became the generation of the king’s in-laws, but this kind of in-laws and can have what benefits? People mention to me Xu Wen, only know that I am the relative of the King of Dai, but I am full of talent, a full of ability …… but can not be utilized.”

Zhu Di said, “So, is it you who induced King Dai to plot against you, or is it King Dai who induced you to plot against him?”

Xu Wen actually said very directly, “All have this heart!”

Zhu Di sneered, stood up, side: “All …… this includes that Lu Zhen, are you scheming?”

Xu Wen said, “Naturally ……”

Zhu Di was furious and drank coldly, “Full of nonsense!”

Xu Wen said, “Where is the nonsense?”

Zhu Di coldly said, “You can fool others, can you fool me? What kind of person is Zhu XIII …… that is a more foolish than Zhu Gaoxu, all the same sightless fool!”

After a pause, Zhu Di continued, “My own brother, could he still not know? Such a stupid thing, he could plot such a thing?”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

At this time, Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but think, as Zhu Gaoxu’s big brother, shouldn’t he step forward and defend Zhu Gaoxu.

But after thinking about it, I finally let it go, His Majesty is angry, it’s better to protect myself at this time.

I only saw Zhu Di say angrily, “By now, you still dare to be like this, you are really bold to the extreme!”

Xu Wen, however, lowered his head again and continued to remain silent.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, said, “Zhu XIII is surrounded by too many people like you, which led to today! As for you, you fall in my hands today …… do you still want to have any fluke?”

At this time, also lost ha served tea.

Zhu Di has said the mouth dry tongue, directly a mouthful of drink, and then continued to swoosh in anger: “treasonous crimes, wings can not escape, I will certainly be you first broken into pieces, and then go to find Zhu thirteen to settle accounts!”

This time, Xu Wen raised his head fiercely and suddenly looked at Zhu Di with a morose gaze, saying word for word, “That said, but …… does Your Majesty necessarily believe that …… the Acting King cannot succeed? ”

Zhu said contemptuously, “Let you be tricky, so what?”

Xu Wen said: “If His Majesty dies, the King of Dai has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he can follow His Majesty’s example and enter the capital! And within the capital, the crown prince is weak, without his majesty, the army will be unstable. As for the local counties, those officials, at first can bow to His Majesty, also can follow the king from the dragon. So …… even if His Majesty takes me, what is the use?”

Zhu Di, however, lost his anger all of a sudden at this time, but stared at Xu Wen with a deadpan look and said, “Is this what you call a wonderful strategy?”

“This is the student’s brilliant strategy?” Xu Wen actually laughed twice, said: “The student has the top, middle and bottom three strategies, the top strategy, of course, is to protect themselves. But the middle strategy is that once things are exposed, if you are still alive, then simply go back to Datong, invite the Tartars to enter the pass, and join forces with the Acting King to kill the city of Nanking.”

“As for this next strategy, that is, the student a moment of carelessness, actually fell into the hands of His Majesty, knowing that there is no hope of survival, but after all, the student’s wife, children and sister are in Datong, so …… at this time if you can die with His Majesty, His Majesty, once dead, the world will be a group of dragons without a head, the Acting King If His Highness rises to the top, then the great thing can be accomplished. I solid death, but my wife and children old and young, but also not lose ten thousand generations of wealth.”

Zhu Di lost his voice and laughed coldly, “Just by you?”

Xu Wen actually looked at Zhu Di with a fearless face and said, “Just by the student! Students act, traditionally cunning rabbit three holes, will always leave a hand for themselves, after Lu Zhen was arrested, how could students not leave a little room for maneuver?”

Zhang Anshi became alert and couldn’t help but say, “What do you mean by that?”

“Haha ……” Xu Wen laughed recklessly, “So even at this time now, the victory or defeat is still not yet known, it is just a pity, who became and who lost, the student can not see, what a pity ah! …… After my death, either the stench of ten thousand years, or for the new pacification meritorious officials, incense and fire unceasingly.”

Zhu’s face turned strange.

Zhang Anshi instead looked coldly at Xu Wen and said, “Say it, what do you mean in the end? If not, you can not blame me for being merciless, this Jin Yiwei’s tactics ……”

“What is the use of the means of the Brocade Guards? A person who is going to die, no matter what, in fact, it is just a death, certainly I know that I will die a miserable death, but from the beginning of planning this matter, I have made the worst possible plans.” Xu Wen said, “Don’t you hear what it means to take chestnuts out of the fire? If there is not enough determination, without thinking clearly about the worst consequences, I Xu Wen …… would not be a risky reckless man? You …… are looking down on me Xu Wen too much.”

I have to say that this guy …… is definitely a demon.

Zhang Anshi can check him out …… Although he does not dare to say that Yao Guangxiao and Yao Guangxiao is a level, but at least …… it also absolutely belongs to the extremely clever conspirators.

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but walk forward, grabbing Xu Wen’s lapel and saying in annoyance, “By now, you still don’t know how to die? Don’t be a dead duck, I, Zhang Anshi, have a hundred ways to cure you.”

Xu Wen smiled, “You’ll soon find out.”

Was saying, suddenly …… Zhu Di sat down on the imperial chair at once, his face white, suddenly said word for word: “There is no need to ask …… poison …… ”

This statement was made.

That Xu Wen caricaturedly laughed, and said at the side: “I obediently entered the palace and tied my hands, is that I hope to come to the palace to witness this with my own eyes …… It seems that the timing is just right ah, haha ……”

Zhang Anshi was shocked and said, “How …… can it be poisonous, how can it be poisonous ……”

Zhang Anshi subconsciously looked towards Yiluoha.

Also Lost Ha at this time is also a face of shock, and then panicked, “Not good …… not good, the imperial kitchen …… no, it may also be the teahouse.”

Yizhuoha has been scared out of his wits.

This is a huge mistake.

Even if this has nothing to do with Yiluoha, he can’t be blamed for such a big mistake in the palace.

The problem is that the palace has always been tightly guarded, and it is impossible for outsiders to come and poison the palace.

And there are so many procedures to prevent the emergence of poison, but it is …… such a thing that happens.

The only possibility is out of the inner thief, and this inner thief, identity is not low, know every meal sent to the emperor in front of the tea, and the process required, in the process, do under the feet.

Yiluoha was in a great hurry, and on one side, he looked at Zhu, whose face was getting worse and worse.

One side panicked and said loudly: “Come on people, come on people, the imperial kitchen and pantry, and today on duty to pass the tea and meal eunuchs, all take down, go to call Liu Yongcheng, tell Liu Yongcheng quickly go to the warrior camp to sit down to prevent, there is a change in the palace, anyone who goes in and out of the palace, immediately kill without amnesty.”

Yiluoha said, hurriedly arrived in front of Zhu Di, snapped his knees and said, “Your Majesty …… Your Majesty ……”

Zhu Di feebly stroked his forehead, and his voice seemed weak, only saying, “Go summon the crown prince ……”

It was only after these words that Yiluoha remembered what had happened.

At this most critical moment, the Crown Prince is the one who must be at His Majesty’s heels, if not ……

Zhang Anshi no longer cared about Xu Wen and rushed to Zhu Di at once.

Looking at the imperial case, the half-drunk tea cup.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Anshi couldn’t be bothered to find out whose poisoning it was.

This Xu Wen seems to be very clear about the movements in the palace, and it is not surprising that he has set up someone in the palace.

But the immediate priority is still Zhu.

Zhang Anshi’s heart was also a little panicked, but he finally maintained a few moments of calmness, and busied himself with saying, “Your Majesty …… Come to the people …… and ask them to fetch water, fetch salt water, and give me a bucket of… . and …… also …… also ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Call that people from the Imperial Hospital to come as well, bring medicine, bring all the medicine you can ……”

Zhang Anshi on the one hand exclaimed, on the other face also lost Ha Road: “Right now things are urgent, you come to assist me ……”

Yiluoha did not dare not to agree, he knew that Zhang Anshi had a hand in treating diseases, thus he was busy nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, while saying, “All depends on the Marquis of Annan to make the decision.”

Then Zhang Anshi said, “Fetch the water …… Come on, first escort this Xu Wen and blockade this place.”

Xu Wen at this time to see Zhu Di strange, but also see Zhang Anshi and also lost ha hand and foot appearance, can not help but openly laugh: “hahaha …… hahahahaha …… I under the drug is poisonous, the world can not be solved, you do not waste Effort.”

Yizhuoha’s eyes were red, and he said sternly, “Take him down, beat him to death, and force him to tell what kind of poison it is!”

Xu Wen just laughed, like a victor, although he was dragged and dragged and appeared to be in a sorry state, but he still laughed continuously.

Zhu Di’s face was getting uglier and uglier.

Zhang Anshi also did not hesitate, now is the most critical time, if further delay, really the gods can not save.

“From now on, His Majesty has left it to me to dispose of, no matter what happens, no one is allowed to say anything.” Zhang Anshi said, “If there is hesitation …… then it is not easy to say.”

Yee Lostha glanced at Chu.

Zhu Di nodded and said, “Into his mother …… how can people be bad …… bad to such a point …… Yao Guangxiao is not as good as him ……”

The eunuchs had come running wild.

Dr. Xu ran at the end.

When he learned that His Majesty had been poisoned, his first reaction …… was that it might be hopeless.

According to his years of experience in paddling, at this time, the more one rushes to the forefront and is the first to be diagnosed and treated, when His Majesty is poisoned to death, he himself may only have to land on his head.

So, although he was panting, he couldn’t run fast enough, looking like he was both trying very hard and really overwhelmed.

The level is a matter of skill.

It’s death to take such a black mark, and you can live as long as you do it with a good attitude.

Soon …… he entered a side hall.

A gurgling sound came from the head of this small hall.

However, he saw Zhang Anshi directly take a funnel, and immediately afterward, he lifted the bucket and began to pour it into Zhu Di’s nose and mouth.

Zhu made a coughing sound from his mouth.

When he was almost done, he turned Zhu’s body over, and Zhu began to vomit desperately.

Immediately following ……

Watching this scene, Imperial Doctor Xu’s legs went limp, almost not paralyzed with fear, and his brain began to buzz.

Is this poisoning?

Or is someone trying to kill the king?

Motherfucker …… How can I watch this kind of stuff, what should I do?

Who knows, Zhu Di big waist round, Zhang Anshi gas force is small, but also lost Ha is a eunuch, Zhang Anshi will raise his head, towards the doctors balked at looking at.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Anshi saw Imperial Doctor Xu.

It seemed that he thought that Dr. Xu looked a bit familiar.

Zhang Anshi didn’t think much about it, so he directly pointed his hand, “That …… that whoever …… you come up and help.”

For a split second, Dr. Xu’s mind began to go blank, and it was as if his eyes went white all of a sudden.

Dead too ……

Dead too ……

Dead too ……

“Come over here dead!” Seeing that he was slow to move, Zhang Anshi was directly furious.

Although Zhang Anshi is not very old, but when he is fierce, he is still quite dignified.

Imperial Doctor Xu was scared because Zhang Anshi was just too ferocious, so he busied himself with slinking forward.

Zhang Anshi began to teach him, “Hold the funnel for me, understand? After it’s filled, you catch the bucket and I’ll turn it over.”

Dr. Xu’s mind was so messed up that in his mind, countless family members began to skim over as if they were walking on horse lights.

Parents ……

Wife and children ……

Is it true that we won’t see each other again?

I can t think of the old man in the Tai Hospital vertical and horizontal for decades, even when the high emperor of Taizu was there, I can swim and blindly mix, I don t expect that today …… should be planted on this head.

But at this time there was no room for him to say no, under Zhang Anshi’s cold eyes, he mechanically nodded his head busily.

Zhang Anshi usually friendly to people, but at this time apparently in no mood to care about his feelings, the mind is only in this has been tossed half dead Zhu Di.

Zhang Anshi at this time and shouted: “Listen to my slogan, irrigation to five, immediately turn over to catalyze vomiting …… one …… two …… three …… four …… five!”
