Chapter 274: Shi Kefa's Mansion
Chapter 274: Shi Kefa Mansion
Wei Zhongxian also said: "In view of the above evidence, Lao Nu begged the emperor to issue an imperial edict to search the remnants of Jianwen across the country. On the one hand, it can eliminate the remnants, and on the other hand, it can show that the emperor does not have the intention to abdicate, so that those who pretend to be the descendants of Emperor Jianwen know and discourage them. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Yi Tusheng said: "Emperor, a small broken arrow cannot explain any problem at all. Eunuch Wei insists on doing this, and I have no choice. However, I beg the emperor to give me a few more days, and I will definitely find out the real murderer." Lingxu said: "Prince, the real murderer has already understood very well. Why do you have to investigate again? I have already inferred the number of Tiangang Taiyi and found that the real murderer was actually the remnant of Emperor Jianwen. Eunuch Wei said it right."
Yi Tusheng said: "Emperor, I have no objection to arrest the remnants of Emperor Jianwen. It is not important to accuse the good people of wrongdoing. The problem is that if the real murderer is free, wouldn't it be ridiculed? Moreover, it is very unfavorable to the emperor's safety. Please think twice."
The little emperor felt that what they said made sense on both sides was difficult to choose for a while, and he didn't know what to do. After a long time, he stretched out and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't fight between you two. I will give you five days each of you to investigate each other. Factory Minister, you go to investigate the remnants of Jianwen, Xiao Yizi, you go to investigate other clues. If you can't produce strong evidence in five days, you can arrest people according to the words of Factory Minister, go."
Yi Tusheng was so depressed when he returned home, thinking to himself who sent someone to assassinate the emperor? Zhu Jian's family was indeed suspicious and had the most motive, but Zhu Jian had already said in front of him that she did not do it. Yi Tusheng knew Zhu Jian's personality best. He would never speak nonsense and would take a step back and say that even if she lies to others, she would not lie to herself.
Therefore, this matter must have nothing to do with the rest of the Jianwen party. Besides, there is no such person as superb martial arts among the Jianwen party. The Vajra Buddha and the Kyutuo Kee have the highest martial arts skills, which is far behind those assassins. Even if they are masters like Tokugawa Hidetachi, the martial arts skills are not comparable to those assassins.
"No, we can't let Wei Zhongxian find a chance to deal with me, I want to take action." Yi Tusheng stood up on the chair and walked around the room. He couldn't think of a solution, so he suddenly pushed open the door and went out. Cao Huachun was serving outside and hurried over and asked, "Prince, do you have any instructions?"
Yi Tusheng said: "Tell Wu Mengming that he would gather 20,000 Jinyiwei, divided into five routes, search for me in Nanjing, search for any strangers at the gate of the city, in the inn, hotel, and on the official road. Also, search for each household, and bring back any unknown origin to me. I will interrogate myself. And you, with a thousand men, I will go to the street to search for it myself!" Cao Huachun was angry when he saw Yi Tu, and did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, prince, I will do it now, and do it now." He ran away.
Half an hour later, Cao Huachun came back and said that everything was ready to stop. The Four Hus of the Jinyiwei and Wu Mengming had already divided into five routes to search the city, and Ma Xiu and Yu Chen also took people to the city gate. Yi Tusheng said: "Send a whole host of people to the Qinhuai River, search the pleasure boats and brothels, and search carefully."
Cao Huachun left. Yi Tusheng came outside and saw a thousand Jinyiwei who had gathered. He ordered to go straight to the streets and alleys. He first asked Xu Qingjun, the Minister of Revenue, to ask for the roster of the flower list, and then checked from the north gate. One thousand people checked their household registration doors, and took away all those who had no names on their household registration and tortured them severely.
Half a day later, Yi Tusheng came to a family and found that it was a big family. The storefront was decorated very gorgeously. Two black painted beasts were lying around the gate. A pair of stone lions were squatting in front of the door. An old janitor sat in front of the steps and basking in the sun. When he saw a group of soldiers coming, he narrowed his eyes and walked over and said, "Who are you? This is the residence of General Shi Kefa, the governor of Huaiyang. Don't do it nonsense."
Yi Tusheng checked along the way and had arrested nearly a thousand people, all of whom had no names on their household registration. Whether it was a large household, a small household or a lady, a small family, a noble family, and a foreigner, they all arrested them. However, there was no one in it that looked like an assassin. When he came to Shi Kefa's mansion, he had already lost his mind. He only knew that Wei Zhongxian should not take advantage.
"You, what's your name?" A personal soldier came up beside Yi Tusheng and asked the janitor.
The guardian *** didn't expect that these soldiers were so arrogant and were so rude to him. He was stunned for a moment. Yi Tusheng asked loudly, "Say, what's the name?"
"My name is Uncle Fu!"
Yi Tusheng opened the roster and turned to the page of Shi Kefa. When he saw that the name was not available, he shouted sternly: "This is also of unknown origin, arrest it." A group of soldiers immediately tied up the janitor.
Yi Tusheng came to the door with great strides and ordered the soldiers to smash the door. After smashing it for more than a dozen times, the person came to open the door. Yi Tusheng kicked the person into the yard and said angrily: "Divide it into two ways and bring everyone out to me, hurry up."
After a while, everyone in the yard was brought out, with a total of more than fifty people, including an old lady probably Shi Kefa's mother.
The old lady was very angry, her chest was undulating, and she squatted on the ground with a dragon head crutch: "Who are you people? Why did you break into my home? This is Lord Shikefashi's home. What do you want to do?"
Yi Tusheng looked around with his hands behind his back and found that there was no Shi Kefa. He asked, "Is Master Shi here?" A middle-aged woman said, "The master is still in Huainan Governor is not at home. Who are you who dares to come here to act wildly? I am Shi Kefa's wife. What do you have to say to me?"
"Oh, it turns out it's Mrs. Shi, who is indifferent to the reverence. Below is Yi Tusheng, the prince of Anping, who is here to handle the case today. Below is in charge of the Northern Town Fushi. I believe Mrs. Shi has also heard of it."
"So you are the Jinyiwei!" Mrs. Shi was so scared that she took a breath. Although she was not a ***er, she also knew the horror of the Jinyiwei.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, are there any suspicious people here?"
"No, my family is a first-class good citizen." Mrs. Shi said.
"Okay, I'll call it. Please stand up when I hear my name." Yi Tusheng personally picked up the roster and called it: "Shi Wang..."
The old lady snorted coldly and stood up. Yi Tusheng continued to read the result. In the end, two people were not registered. They were two maids, and they were all ordered to tie them up.
"Why are these two maids not having household registration?" Yi Tusheng asked.
"Because they just arrived a few days ago, there was no time to handle it!" Mrs. Shi said in panic.
"Just come?" Yi Tusheng immediately became suspicious and ordered his men: "Go to their room and search!" Mrs. Shi said: "Don't mess up, I'll take you there." As he said that, he led the way.
After a while, a few people came back. Mrs. Shi's face changed drastically. She pointed at the two maids and said, "You, you, who are you?"
The Jinyiwei came over and reported: "Prince, I found two white robes, two long swords and an iron bow. Please check it out."
Yi Tusheng looked at the white robe, and his face changed drastically. Then he grabbed the iron bow and saw that it read: "Zhu Changsheng, the descendant of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yi Tusheng shouted: "Not good!"
It was too late. The two maids suddenly soared into the sky, and the rope on their bodies was broken like rubber bands. The Jinyiwei, who was responsible for escorting the two, had already fallen to the ground and vomited blood. Yi Tu had no time to think too much, so he flew over to one of them.
