Chapter 254 Hearts
He Fu was originally a marquis and became the governor. After the "Jingnan Battle", he used his actions to express his loyalty and marriage. In addition, the territory he had to worry about after the King of Yan ascended the throne became larger and he urgently needed generals. He Fu had re-entered the ranks of the most senior generals of the Ming emperor.
But now He Fu's younger brother is in Zhu Gaoxu's hands. Many people know that Zhu Gaoxu has captured a confidant next to Jianwen. As long as this matter is revealed, He Fu's death talisman... Do he dare to disobey?
Zhu Gaoxu felt like he had found a treasure and was immersed in a joyful mood for a long time.
It is quite difficult for a military official who is an official in the court to become a vassal king! Even the crown prince dared not easily win over the court officials.
While excited, Zhu Gaoxu found a little uneasy inside.
After walking in this small courtyard like a courtyard for a while, he captured the source of the uneasiness... No matter how careful this kind of thing is, the person he deceived is his father Zhu Di after all. Zhu Di is not only a powerful lord who is difficult to be deceived, but also has the ability to punish Zhu Gaoxu! If Zhu Gaoxu had deceived others, he would not have such a faint fear.
However, he was still going to do this. At this time, he did not dare to rebel, thinking that he was to die; but if he took the risk of accumulating strength, he could only wait for death.
Zhu Gaoxu thought, He Fu was more reliable than Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu. The old generals of the Yan Prince's Mansion tended and supported Zhu Gaoxu at most, but it was impossible for them to rebel... People in this world either let him feel the fundamental threat or let him see the real huge benefits, otherwise they would ask the nobles of wealth to take risks with their heads. Why?
"Human heart!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sighed softly.
At this time, Chen Dachui walked over from the corridor and clasped his fists and said, "Report to the prince, I have taken Duan Yang back to the prince's mansion and still locked up in the corridor that was last time."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and thought to himself: The two mothers and daughters who have always wanted to take revenge have finally fallen into their own hands. They can do whatever they want.
He sighed just now, and suddenly remembered some of the things in it, which seemed to make no sense.
According to Duan Yang's idea, the main way to revenge was to completely destroy Mu Sheng's family by using Jianwen's affairs; and assassination of Mu Sheng was not her main method, otherwise the assassination deployment would not appear so hasty.
At that time, it was almost successful that Mu Sheng had hidden Jianwen. As a mother, why did he have to let his daughter die in vain? If Duan Yang was a kind-hearted person, he would not have to avenge his husband for more than ten years.
He thought about it and always thought that this matter was a bit strange.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything just now, Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "I'll leave."
"Sledgehammer, come with me." Zhu Gaoxu called him.
Chen Dachui said again: "Yes."
The two walked along the eaves corridor under the eaves to the empty corridor next to them. Zhu Gaoxu went in and out of several rooms next to him. After a while, he picked one.
This room seemed to be a place for nap, with a bed and a few furniture set. There was also an ear room next to it. The door to the ear room was very low, and it was obvious that only the servants would walk inside.
"Push it over." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the wooden shelf by the wall, with some porcelain decorations on it.
Chen Dachui ordered the wooden frame to push the door of the ear room. When Zhu Gaoxu looked at it, he could no longer see that there was a door there. The wooden frame was just like a pair of furniture against the wall. He immediately felt very satisfied.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "You go and spread my meaning, and ask Wang Gui to send the female assassin here first. Wait for a stick of incense before inviting Duan Yang.
Chen Dachui didn't ask much, clasped his fists and said, "I will get the order!"
Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a chair next to a few tables. He thought about it, got up and pushed the wooden frame away, took a jade paperweight from it, sat back on the chair and took it in his hand to play with it. He took a look. The paperweight seemed to be made of limestone, not a valuable and rare thing. But this was not the point, he just wanted to make a very calm look.
After a while, Wang Gui came over with Duan Xueheng.
Duan Xueheng entered the door and asked, "When will your Highness lock me up?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have no malicious intentions, Miss Duan understands it. I will let you go today."
"Really?" Duan Xuehen was very surprised.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "When I am a person, there is no need to lie, I usually only tell the truth. And I am a prince, why bother joking about you?"
Duan Xueheng thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince."
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I will let your mother go later. She has returned from Dali Mansion. We have found Emperor Jianwen. Mu Sheng is probably scared and is trembling in the mansion."
Duan Xueheng heard this, but he just breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Gaoxu said, "But before you let go, stay in the ear room next to you, don't make a sound. Just wait for two incense sticks quietly, don't say anything, no matter what happens. I will fulfill my words just now, what?"
Duan Xueheng glanced at the door next to the wooden rack and nodded, "It's up to your Highness to do it."
"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Duan Xueheng bent down and walked into the ear room. Zhu Gaoxu then pushed the wooden rack over and blocked the door of the ear room.
Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair and played with the limestone inkstone suspected to be antique in his hand. After waiting for a while, Chen Dachui took Duan Yang to the door. Duan Yang walked over by himself, but was not tied up like He Lu.
"I have seen the prince." Duan Yang said with politeness. She looked in a good mood and seemed to know that the person who died in Diancang Mountain in Dali was Emperor Jianwen!
Just as Zhu Gaoxu and others knew about it, Hu Yi must also know... There are many Mu Sheng people from Dali; Duan Baoji, who protects Emperor Jianwen, has a marriage with Mu Sheng's confidant. How can the Mu Mansion be separated from so many clues?
Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be absent-minded and said, "Mrs. Duan is not a gift." He continued to play with the limestone in his hand, as if the thing was very interesting.
Duan Yang asked: "Prince, is it true that the body placed in the ice cellar in Dali City is Jianwenjun and his son?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, put down the inkstone in his hand, took out a cloth bag from his arms, which was the fragment of the paper given by Chen Dahui, and said, "This is something I got back from Lanfeng Temple, with the handwriting of Emperor Jianwen on it."
"I know that General Chen was picking up the remaining paper at that time, and I was also present." Duan Yang walked over, stretched out his hand, and saw Zhu Gaoxu nodding, she picked up the remaining paper and looked at it carefully.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Chen Dachui also caught Emperor Jianwen's confidant and confirmed the matter."
Duan Yang smiled excitedly in front of Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "My father has worked hard to find Emperor Jianwen. Mu Sheng was brave and hid Emperor Jianwen without authorization, concealing it. I'm afraid the Mu family will be executed not far from the whole family!"
Duan Yang's face turned red and she said in a trembling voice: "The whole family is going to die?"
Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "The father doesn't trust Mu Mansion very much, otherwise why did the Three Yunnan Departments change so many officials this year? What does this happen now, what will Mrs. Duan think?"
"Hahaha..." Duan Yang actually raised his head and laughed a few times.
Although she was an assassin, she gave Zhu Gaoxu the impression of a middle-aged woman who was a little educated and polite. She suddenly smiled so flamboyantly, and her face was distorted, which still looked strange at first glance.
Zhu Gaoxu said quietly: "At present, Mu Sheng is dead, and his family cannot escape the involvement. Mrs. Duan's family's revenge for more than ten years has finally been avenged."
"Mu Sheng is dead?" Duan Yang's low voice came to an abrupt end.
Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "Mrs. Duan doesn't know yet? Oh, look at me neglected. The matter has not been made public yet... Mu Sheng was assassinated by an assassin. After returning home, his injury worsened and he was already dead."
"Hahaha..." Duan Yang raised his head and laughed again, tears flowing out of his eyes. Because his body swayed too violently, his hair was scattered on his face! With her twisted and deformed face, she looked a bit terrible for a moment.
She reached out and stroked the messy hair on her face, gasped for a while, and asked, "Do you know who the assassin is?"
"It is said to be a female assassin. It turns out that it is Mrs. Duan's daughter Duan Xuehen?" Zhu Gaoxu said without changing his face.
Duan Yang nodded slightly: "Who else risked his life to stab Mu Sheng?"
Zhu Gaoxu said "Oh" and suddenly said: "Now the descendants of the Duan family killed the enemy with their own hands. The Mu family was implicated. No matter how big the revenge was, I will avenge it?"
Duan Yang sneered and shook his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, smiling very strangely. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at her with great anticipation, feeling that there was indeed a hidden truth.
Seeing that Duan Yang was not speaking yet, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but induce him, "Why did Mrs. Duan shake her head? I'm wrong?"
"The Duan family kills enemies with their hands, so how can the Mu family members be killed? It's so pleasant to be punished?" Duan Yang sneered, "Mu Ying's actions back then cannot repay the debt even if he dies, let alone he died. The blood debt can only be paid by the descendants of the Mu family..."
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly asked, "Founder of the Mu family?"
Duan Yang said: "I have to let everyone in the world know about this. Mu Sheng died at the hands of the descendants of the Mu family! Duan Xuehen is not my daughter at all. She is the daughter of Mu Ying's eldest son Mu Chun! I managed to steal her back then. I wanted Mu Chun to kill her biological father. Unexpectedly, Mu Chun died too. Now he is the niece who kills his uncle, which can make Mu Ying have to try what he wishes in hell."
Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, but after all, this matter had little to do with him. He was surprised and said, "No wonder when Jianwen's incident was about to happen, Mrs. Duan still forced Duan Xueheng to assassinate Mu Sheng. Are you afraid that after Mu's family was convicted, you would not have the chance to ask Duan Xueheng to take action?"
Duan Yang nodded and smiled, "I didn't know that there was anything Jianwen could do, so I thought, just assassinating the descendants of the Mu family, how to relieve the hatred? The solution I thought was to call the descendants of the Mu family to destroy each other, so I did so many things. Now I'm useless to take Duan Xueheng. No matter who she or Mu Sheng died at whom, it would be a pleasure!"
