"Let him come to the city." Zhu Su responded.
Next to Zhu Su, Zhu Di looked confused. "It's wartime right now. Why is a businessman coming to you? Could it be that he wants to do business?"
"Hey, this is a big deal!" Zhu Su smiled sinisterly.
Zhu Di and Zhu Xi looked at each other with doubts on their faces. A middle-aged man had already walked into the tower under the guidance of the soldier. Seeing Zhu Su and the other three people wearing princely python robes from a distance, they immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground: "Shao Wu, a common man, has seen His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Yan, and His Highness the King of Wu!"
"This person is..." Zhu Di glanced at this person suspiciously. Although this man is dressed as a businessman, he is thin and small, with electric eyes, and his temperament does not look like that of a simple businessman.
"Commander Shao, please get up." Zhu Su said calmly. He turned around and explained to Zhu Di, who was full of vigilance: "This person is my secret agent, a Jinyi spy from Beijing."
"Jinyiwei?" Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were both shocked.
Seeing that the pawn leading the way had left, the middle-aged man stood up as instructed and gave the three men a fist-cup military salute: "Jinyi Xiaowei Shaobiao, I have met your three highnesses."
"Lao Wu, why do you still have Jin Yiwei under your command?" Zhu Xi asked in surprise.
Jinyiwei was not well-known when he was still in the Imperial Guards Division, but now he is a household name in the Ming Dynasty. Jinyiwei is not among the three provinces and six departments, but he has the power to investigate, punish and jail. Although he has not been born for a long time, he is tabooed by the imperial court.
However, the scope of Jinyiwei's activities is limited to Beijing, so why would a Jinyiwei suddenly appear here?
"It's the man Mao Xiang sent to lend me my hand." Zhu Su showed his folding fan. Previously, he asked Di Meng to go to the capital to search for information about the remnants of Zhang Chen. After returning, Mao Xiang asked the Shaobiao to come with Di Meng to Zhu Su's subordinates.
Di Meng was a captain of the Jinyi Guards, but he was lurking under Zhu Su on the orders of Mao Xiang. Although Lao Zhu had asked him to supervise all the officials, he planted an informant around the prince and was caught. Mao Xiang couldn't help but feel a little bit The meaning of panic.
Zhu Su sent Di Meng to the Jinyiwei Department Office to pick up things, and there was some element of demonstration in it: Your Jinyiwei supervises all officials, so why do you send someone to monitor me personally? Besides, you were well aware of the grievances between me and the remnants of Zhang Chen, so why didn’t you take the initiative to submit the relevant files investigated by your Jin Yiwei when I left the capital?
The person you sent has been picked out by me. I, Zhu Su, will give you some face, and I will not embarrass you in person. Di Meng is my personal guard. I hope you will be aware of it and make a clean break with Di Meng from now on. Don't interfere with him anymore... There is such an intention in it.
Mao Xiang was not a fool. When he saw Di Meng coming in person, he knew what Zhu Su meant. Without saying anything, he handed over Jinyiwei's top-secret files with both hands, and sent Jinyi Xiaowei Shaobiao to Zhu Su's men for use as a sign of reconciliation.
"Shaobiao is a strange person among the Jinyi Guards. He was a spy in the hinterland of Meng Yuan in northern Xinjiang. He is best at lurking and spying." Zhu Su briefly introduced Zhu Di and Zhu Xi. He turned to face the Shaobiao and said, "Have Lieutenant Shao noticed something strange?"
"Yes." Shao Biao bowed. "Biao lowered himself on the house, secretly uncovered a piece of tile and looked down."
"I saw that guy got a letter tonight. After reading it, he burned it."
"After that, he packed up his belongings in the house and gathered his cronies, as if... he wanted to escape for his life."
"Escape?" Zhu Su paused while waving his fan hand. He asked strangely: "Isn't it a dedication to the city?"
"No." Shaobiao shook his head. "Looking like that, it doesn't mean he wants to dedicate the city."
Zhu Su touched his chin thoughtfully.
"What kind of riddle are you playing?" Zhu Ping interrupted Zhu Su's thinking impatiently. "Who is that guy? Who wants to sacrifice the city? Who wants to run for his life? Why not make it clear?"
"You say half and half, your second brother makes me very anxious!"
"It doesn't matter whether he sacrifices the city or escapes for his life, as long as there is a letter coming in from the city!" Zhu Su had already figured something out. "Second brother, fourth brother, let's go!"
"Now we have to do something important!"
"What's the important matter? The city wall is no longer guarded?" Zhu Di asked curiously.
"The thieves will not attack the city tonight. Besides, the city wall has its own Cao Yuan." Zhu Di must be sure. "As for what's important..."
"Of course it is... seizing military power!"
…
That night, the three kings of the Zhu family led more than 100 people from the royal guard to the door of a mansion located in the center of the middle street.
"Yang... Mansion... Lao Wu, whose mansion is this?" Looking at the gilded plaque on the door, Zhu Xi was still confused.
"You can find out if you just ask..." Zhu Suduan sat on his horse. "Someone, knock on the door!"
A guard knocked on the door and knocked for a long time, but there was still no response. Zhu Di asked doubtfully: "Could it be that we dare not open the door because we see that our soldiers are too powerful?"
"If you don't do anything wrong, why wouldn't you dare to open the door?" Zhu Su sneered. "Come on, open this door!"
The soldiers of King Qin's guard were still hesitating, but the soldiers of King Wu's guard had already responded, and some of them picked up the torches in their hands to burn down the gate. The corner door next to it suddenly opened, and an old housekeeper said hurriedly: "Don't burn it! Don't burn it! This is the residence of the imperial official! Don't burn it, don't burn it!"
"Isn't there someone here?" Zhu Su sneered. "I'm just opening a corner door. Are you planning to welcome guests?"
"This military master wants to visit my master?" The old housekeeper wanted to get in front of Zhu Suma, but was stopped by several royal guards. He had no choice but to say sarcastically: "It's not a coincidence that the military master came here. Now the thieves are attacking the city. As the commander, my master is stationed at the south gate!"
"He has food and accommodation in the city now. If the military master wants to find him, he has to go to the city wall to find him..."
"Master Jun?" Zhu Su gave the old butler a funny look who was telling lies. My three brothers are all dressed in princely robes. It’s impossible that this guy didn’t notice that he actually called me Military Lord?
Seeing a cunning flash in his old eyes, Zhu Su suddenly understood: This old guy was deliberately delaying time at the door. First he calls himself Military Master, then explains that he is Prince, then he feigns surprise and pays homage, and then apologizes and says that he is old and dim... By going back and forth, he can buy a lot of time for the guy behind him.
"Hey, I'm here in person. If Yang Lu immediately opens the middle door and kneels down to kowtow to me, I'll be fine tonight."
"I just didn't expect that I would send an old man like you to try to fool me."
"Come on! Surround this Yang Mansion! The rest of the people will go in with me! If there is anyone who blocks them, kill them on the spot!" Zhu Su ordered the guards behind him.
"Today, I want to see how many tricks Yang Lu has!"
"...Ga?" The old housekeeper was confused.
That's not right, shouldn't the script be like this?
