Zhou Dexing knew very well what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was. He was the king of tigers and wolves!
Back then, Liao Yongzhong had led the navy to join him, allowing him to have sufficient troops to cross the Yangtze River, which was why he had taken Ying Tian.
In the eighth year of Hongwu, Liao Yongzhong committed a capital crime. So many Huaixi dignitaries pleaded for mercy, but Zhu Yuanzhang killed him just like that!
Zhu Wenzheng died even more miserably than him!
Zhou Ji's face was pale, and his legs were weak. He started to cry and wail without any manners.
"Father!"
"Save me!"
"I don't want to die now!"
"I'm still waiting to inherit your title!”
Zhou Ji hugged his thigh and shook it non-stop. Zhou Dexing was annoyed and kicked him away."Get lost!"
"You're still thinking about the title at a time like this!”
"How did I give birth to such an idiot like you!”
"What did I tell you before the expedition?”
"How did you do it?"
"Did you think about what I said before you embezzled the army's salary to buy the Peach Blossom Fan?”
Zhou Ji's heart ached from the kick. He sat on the ground in a sorry state and did not dare to get closer.
"Lord Marquis!" the butler said.
"Young Master is, after all, the Marquis 'only son.”
"It's better to think about how to save him now.”
"Yes, yes!" Zhou Ji hurriedly nodded.”
Zhou Dexing glanced at the troupe."It's easier said than done. If this book had been discovered in advance, he could have asked the five military governors to issue an order to confiscate it.”
"But it's already spread everywhere ~"
"If he is not in Ying Tian, we can also make him a traitor and order the people to hand him over.”
"But at the foot of the Imperial City…"
Zhou Dexing did not have the guts to do so!
The butler also fell silent. It was indeed difficult.
Zhou Dexing sat on the armchair, his fingers tapping again and again. He gently closed his eyes, and his eyelids twitched with the tapping.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes!
"Yes."
Zhou Ji hurriedly scrambled over."Father, what should we do?"
Zhou Dexing was even more disgusted by his good-for-nothing appearance.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only start from the author.”
"Capture him and force him to admit that this was a premeditated slander against Jiang Xiahou's manor. Then kill him to silence him!”
"Zhou Ji didn't use the army's salary at all, and it wasn't because of a brothel girl that he lost the battle!”
"As for how he got out of prison…"
This was the most troublesome part.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhou Dexing, Yan Donglou, and the Ministry of Justice had lied to him on the amnesty list, then
Thinking of this, Zhou Dexing's scalp went numb!
"Forget it!"
"Butler, go and make the arrangements.”
Zhou Dexing picked up the peach blossom fan in his hand and looked at the signature on it. His entire body was filled with killing intent as he said,"Let's capture this Mr. Liao Zhai first!”
"Yes, sir!"
In the Eastern Palace.
As usual, Chen Hong went to Shopkeeper Liu to buy a new Peach Blossom Fan. He had intended to give it to Zhu Biao, but when he arrived at the main hall, he saw a child running around.
A few of the little yellow men were chasing after him.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
"Slow down. Don't fall.”
"If there's even the slightest bump, this servant will be guilty of ten thousand deaths.”
"Hahaha ~" The young man played happily and laughed like a moth."You can't catch him, you just can't catch him!”
That person was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Zhu Xiong Ying!
He was also Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite grandson.
If his sons were divided into Zhu Biao and the other two types; Then the grandson would be divided into Zhu Xiongying and the others…
Chen Hong hurriedly walked over." This servant pays her respects to Your Highness. Your Highness is a thousand years old."”
"Eunuch Chen?"
"Get up quickly!"
"What good things did you bring back from the palace today?”
Chen Hong shook his head."This servant has an errand to carry out when she leaves the palace. I don't dare to be selfish."”
"Hah ~"
Zhu Xiongying obviously didn't believe him.
"Where's the Crown Prince?" Chen Hong looked at Little Yellow Gate.”
"Eunuch, His Highness was called into the palace by the Emperor to discuss matters.”
"I reckon he'll only be back at night!"
"Yes ~"
Zhu Xiongying looked around and saw that Chen Hong really didn't have anything interesting to play with, so he left dejectedly.
Chen Hong walked up the steps and placed the script on the table. Then, he closed the door and left.
However, not long after Chen Hong left, the door creaked open. A person walked in like an elf and looked at the script on the table with a laugh.
"I knew that father-in-law must have brought back something good from outside.”
"You still dare to lie to me!"
"I want to see what this is!”
He picked up the storybook and barely managed to read out the words 'Peach Blossom Fan'. It was intermittent and could not be read smoothly at all.
He rolled his eyes and put it in his pocket.
This must be an interesting story. Let the gentlemen read it to me when they have time.
Then, he returned the door to its original state and left quietly.
In the afternoon, the sky was dark. Zhu Biao returned from the Imperial Palace. Looking at the empty table, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that no memorials had been delivered today. He turned around and went back to his bedroom to rest.
When Chen Hong led the little yellow door to clean up the bedroom, he looked at the table and heaved a sigh of relief.
He bought the words to let the Crown Prince relax and not have to constantly tense his body.
The table was empty, so the book must have been taken by the crown prince!
This way, he would be at ease.
The next day.
The butler brought Zhou Ji out of the mansion. Zhou Ji really did not want to delay because this concerned his life!
"Butler, my father has given you the task.”
"What do you plan to do?"
"Did you think of a way last night?？”
The butler nodded." Young Marquis, I had someone prepare a thousand taels of silver last night. I plan to pretend to be a wealthy merchant and approach Qingtian Bookstore. I also want to meet Mr. Liao Zhai."”
"If he doesn't refuse, then everything will be fine.”
"Butler, what kind of lousy trick are you thinking of?" Zhou Ji asked anxiously.”
"What if he refuses?"
"That's simple," the butler said confidently."Just give him a letter and ask him to pass it to this Liao Zhai."”
"I believe that there must be a secret communication channel between Qingtian Book House and Liaozhai.”
"When the time comes, we can send people to keep an eye on them.!”
"Take him down!"
