Chapter 216 Not the enemy
/p>
A voice came from outside the door, and Zhu Gaoxu and others looked sideways. Wang Yu, a hundred households, quickly walked into the defence office, knelt on one knee, and said, "The king commanded the last general to return and report to the prince, and the brothers have arrested four people in Liuba Village!"
Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Who are some?"
Wang Yu said: "When I replied to the prince, in addition to the woman, there was also a man from Liuba Village and his wife and two wives. The commander of the king searched for evidence of crime, and sent people to send all the criminals back to the royal palace."
It seems that the female assassin was not caught? Zhu Gaoxu said, "Separate and detain."
"Get orders!" Wang Yu said.
When the prisoner arrived at the palace, he was temporarily detained in the house on the east side of Duanli Gate. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to know who they were, and he could not wait.
Zhu Gaoxu soon arrived at the east side of Duanli Gate and first went to the door where the woman was imprisoned. The soldiers at the door opened the lock of the door, and Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said to the guards: "You are waiting outside."
The military general Wang Yu seemed a little worried, but he clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
A defensive woman, Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe she could do anything to her.
He walked into the room and saw that the woman was sitting on a chair inside. She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu who came in, and her face was very calm and she was not panicked at all.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised when he saw her expression. He looked at the woman twice and saw that she looked pretty good; but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the slack feeling of skin after collagen loss on her face had left her with irreversible traces of time.
"I am the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu." He said first.
The woman said, "I am unable to move now, so I am rude. I am not an enemy to Your Highness."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was immediately curious.
He first said who he was, and originally wanted to continue asking the woman who he was, but she would respond like this... He couldn't help but wonder why the woman said that they were not enemies?
But Zhu Gaoxu resisted his curiosity and did not immediately follow the woman's words and continue to say it. He could not be led by the woman, and the initiative must be in his own hands!
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment, sat down on a chair next to a table, and deliberately picked up his injured left hand, looked at it and said, "Since it is not an enemy, why send someone to assassinate?"
There is a trap in this sentence. As long as the woman in front of him does not deny it, the first thing to do is to confirm the relationship between the female assassin and the woman! Because Zhu Gaoxu has no evidence to confirm that they are related, the only way is to blow her up.
The woman was indeed trapped, and the initiative to guide the rhythm returned to Zhu Gaoxu. She defended: "We don't want to assassinate Your Highness, she is dealing with the Mu family. And I don't agree with this assassination."
"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, "Where is the female assassin?"
The woman said, "I don't know. Your Highness catches people so much, I'm afraid she won't come back."
Zhu Gaoxu asked at this time: "You said just now that we are not enemies, why?"
The woman looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and after a while, she spoke: "I am a Bai tribe, Duan Yang, and I live in Dali for generations. The others you arrested were originally Duan, but now they have changed their surname to Liu. Your people are searching the house and should be able to find out what confirms the matter."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he seemed to understand a little, so he asked casually: "Mrs. Duan means, do you have a private grudge with the Mu family?"
This statement angered Duan Yang in some way. She suddenly became angry and her face changed: "Don't your Highness know what Mu Ying did in Dali?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment. He probably knew it. It was nothing more than destroying the Dali government and replacing the land and directly integrating Yunnan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. But how did Zhu Gaoxu know what he did specifically?
He asked, "What did you do?"
Duan Yang looked at Zhu Gaoxu coldly, "It is said that the Yuan people are cruel and unkind, but Mu Ying is even better than the Yuan people! When Mu Ying arrived in Dali, he first escorted the Dali general manager and his family to Nanjing for credit, and then tainted the Duan family's relatives on charges. If he resisted, he would slaughter and kill! He also burned the Duan family's classics and documents, dug up the ancestral graves, forced the people of Dali to speak Chinese, and used Chinese characters..."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but defend himself: "The unification of the world is the general trend. King Qianning may have bad things, and his merits and demerits will be discussed by future generations. The native people will naturally become a family and live in harmony on the land of China. It is not a bad thing. Mrs. Duan is a woman, so why bother to be worried about military and national affairs? Besides, what can you change?
The war has passed and Dali has restored peace. The court is adjusting its national policy to appease the people's livelihood, so that they can live a good life in the future."
Duan Yang was so angry that he trembled all over. He stared at Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, which made him feel familiar. His eyes were like an abyss, with only unfathomable hatred. She said to the voice: "My husband did not rebel! His only mistake was because he was the brother of the Dali General Manager! His husband believed in the Buddhist master and only loved to study in his life. He was kind-hearted, kind and humble, cherished his reputation and face, and never led his troops to be enemies with the Ming army. What was wrong with him? Why did he slaughter our whole family..."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
Duan Yang gritted his teeth, but there was no tears in his eyes. Her emotions were a little broken, "Mu Ying asked people to insult him in public in front of our tribe, slandered irrelevant incest and evil things on his head, and burned his face with a red soldering iron! I risked my life to hide in the crowd and saw everything with my own eyes, and they could not deny it! Mu Ying looked at him in front, still chatting and laughing with the generals.
Dare you ask the King of Han, are these things just official? Mu Ying led his troops to destroy our country and seize our land, which is a big deal, but he insulted and killed my relatives. This is a deep hatred. I will live one day and I will pay back the blood debt of the Mu family! Even if I die, I will become a ghost, and I will never give up!
The soldering iron burns the face of the man, as if it burns on my heart! My heart is dead, only hatred.
The cruel laughter sounded in my heart every night. I must hear Mu Ying crying, screaming, begging for mercy. When he dies, I also want to see that his children and grandchildren are worse than death. I want them to taste that taste..."
Duan Yang struggled desperately while muttering, but later he spoke nonsense and spoke vernacular language that Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand.
Her face gradually twisted and became very terrible. While she was struggling, the ropes wrinkled her sleeves, and blood stained the white cotton cloth.
Such crazy and violent | Zhu Gaoxu didn't feel that there was any words to comfort her, so he could only wait.
After a while, Duan Yang was breathing and finally calmed down. Her hatred and resentment disappeared, leaving only a cold body, as if she was a walking corpse./p>
Zhu Gaoxu did not comment on her rashly, but was just silent.
He thought to himself: When will the revenge be repaid? In thousands of years of history, not only a certain tribe can have blood and tears.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were definitely more miserable than Baimin! The Han people were the cheapest, and they were lower than all natives and even Semu people, and they were like two-legged sheep. After the Ming Dynasty restored the Han family rule, they might have been angry with that experience. At first, they were very tough towards the Tusi and other tribes, and they might have a desire to revenge. Now many natives are beginning to resent the Ming people again, and they are not sure when the revenge will end.
However, Zhu Gaoxu did not say these things. Only the weak country and the people were too weak to say that they were bullied by the Yuan Dynasty's counter-moving feudal rulers; now it is no longer necessary, because the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty's rulers are trembling on the grassland. Moreover, no matter the Mongolians, many of the Bai people are already people of the Ming Dynasty.
After a long silence, Duan Yang said first: "I am not the enemy of the King of Han. We have a common enemy, and that is the Mu family!"
Zhu Gaoxu did not want to be honest, so he immediately defended: "Mu Sheng is the Marquis of Xiping, the Ming Dynasty court, and I am the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, how could I be an enemy?"
Duan Yang said coldly: "When the King of Liang of the Yuan Dynasty was granted the title of Yunnan, he wanted to annex Dali and dominate Yunnan. The King of Han didn't want to hold the entire Yunnan land? Humph!"
"Uh!" Zhu Gaoxu was speechless. He found that although Duan Yang was a woman, he knew a lot.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to swallow Yunnan! Turn Yunnan into his own territory, and then mobilize the army to gain self-respect... If you think too much, the prince in the court would take his abacus to his father and beat him up to a "slap" sound; his father Zhu Di would also be very suspicious of Zhu Gaoxu's intentions.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu did not raise an army openly. Because of this, he did not suffer the heavy blow from the Ming court; of course, he could not act as he pleased. Even if he wanted to expand his strength, he had to hide it and do it better.
If you want to seize control of Yunnan by annexing the Mu Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu cannot do this!
Duan Yang said: "Now we have a weak power and we cannot reach an alliance with the King of Han? But I have an important news that can be used as a transaction."
"What news?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with interest.
Duan Yang said: "I told the King of Han that the King of Han would let me go?"
Zhu Gaoxu pondered and said, "What news should I see."
Duan Yangshi said: "The news about Emperor Jianwen."
Zhu Gaoxu immediately showed surprise and looked at her for a while.
"Don't the King of Han believe it?" Duan Yang asked.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't comment.
He didn't completely disbelief... The place where Emperor Jianwen was most likely to come from was Yunnan! The world was already under the King of Yan. For Emperor Jianwen, there were crises on all sides. After leaving the capital, he had to hide, and acquaintances were the first choice. Just like Zhu Gaoxu went out to work in his previous life, he wanted to contact relatives and friends in a strange city first, and then go there, otherwise he would feel a lot of insecurity.
My father, Zhu Di, seemed to have figured out this possibility, so he sent Zhu Gaoxu and Hu Yi to Yunnan together, and clearly asked them to find the whereabouts of Jianwen!
