Zhu Zhanji hid behind a big tree in his yard and looked at his panting father." Dad, don't hit me. Someone is looking for me. It's business."
Zhu Gaochi panted as he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said," You brat, watch your manners when you do things. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said,"I know, I know."
Seeing his father leave, Zhu Zhanji heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Hou Tai and said," Let Lord Ji see me in the main hall."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Zhu Zhanji turned around and returned to the hall. He took a sip of tea and looked at a man with a respectful face and a very burly figure. This was the famous Jinyiwei Commander Ji Gang in the future!
"Young master, what orders do you have for me?”
Zhu Zhanji took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile on his face," Old Ji, is there any progress on the matter of Jingnan's orphan?”
"Young Master, the scouts have reported that the ones who assassinated His Majesty this time were the orphans who escaped back then. They are very well-equipped, and it's as if they appeared out of thin air."
Zhu Zhanji frowned and said,"Get to the point."
"Yes, after investigating overnight, we found that there's a ghost behind this group of people. Behind them, there seems to be a person who claims to be the emperor. After investigating until here, we don't dare to continue investigating. After all, it involves the royal family, so..."
Zhu Zhanji gently hooked his finger at Ji Gang and said,"Come forward."
Ji Gang bowed and came to Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji looked at Ji Gang and his eyes slowly became cold." Old Ji, you and I have been working for more than a year. I have never treated you badly, right?”
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed his head." What are you talking about? Of course, I treat you very well."
Zhu Zhanji looked at Ji Gang playfully and said," Then what do you mean by fooling me with such an answer today? Are you bullying me because I'm young?"
Ji Gang instantly broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt down and shouted,"Young Master, I'm loyal to you. I won't have any second thoughts."
Zhu Zhanji gently lowered his head, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He lifted Ji Gang's chin with the tip of his foot and said playfully," Old Ji, you are the royal family's eagle dog, but you have to know whose eagle dog you are. You have to remember, I am the Jinyiwei's commander."
"If I can get up, I can get you down, understand?”
Ji Gang trembled and stammered,"I'm willing to die for you!"
Zhu Zhanji sat up and took a sip of tea. He said coldly," I'll give you three days to find any news about the Emperor. Otherwise, you don't have to kneel in front of me."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Ji Gang stood up and lowered his head. He bent down and started to retreat towards the door. As soon as he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at Zhu Zhanji." Young Master, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Tell me about it."
" Sun Yu, the former deputy general of the army who attacked Nanjing in the first batch, has returned. He has opened a small workshop on South Street, and his daughter has also returned."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flickered with an inexplicable light. He didn't know if he could smile or not, but he said," I know, I'll handle it. You don't have to interfere."
"It's Yours Truly, this subordinate will take his leave."
Zhu Zhanji stood up, smiled, and returned to his own courtyard. Under the service of the palace maids, he changed his clothes, turned around, and walked out of the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Gaochi sat on the side and stroked his little white dog. He looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was wearing a flying fish suit, and said helplessly," Where are you going to cause trouble again?”
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled at his father." Father, you're wrong about this. I'm not going to cause trouble. I'm going to share your worries."
Then, he ran out in a flash.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head helplessly and muttered," You're even sharing my worries. It'll be fine if you don't stir up more trouble."
Zhu Zhanji hummed a little tune as he walked along the royal road of the Imperial Palace. More than ten Brocade Guards appeared behind him. They were all dressed in flying fish robes. They had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. One look and one could tell that they were experts.
Zhu Zhanji walked out of the palace gate and came to the south street. He walked to the shop that Ji Gang mentioned and said to the thousand households beside him," Wang Wei, knock."
"Yes, my lord."
Wang Wei stepped forward and started to smash the door. As he did so, he shouted," Open the door, open the door! Brocade Guards are searching for traitors!"
After a moment, the door opened. A woman opened the door and looked at him in surprise. She was dressed in simple cotton clothes, and her eyes were very lively as she sized up Zhu Zhanji.
The simple cloth clothes couldn't hide the beauty of the girl in front of him. It was a kind of pure and beautiful beauty. Zhu Zhanji stared at the girl in front of him blankly.
There were only two words in his mind.
Destiny.
The woman who opened the door was Sun Yu's adopted daughter. She was the descendant of Imperial Censor Jing Qing and later Empress Sun Ruowei.
Sun Ruowei looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was staring at her blankly. She looked at Zhu Zhanji with a blush and said," Sir, there are no traitors here. Are you in the wrong place?"”
