Hou Hai issued the order of the King of Han in the royal palace. Wang Yu, a hundred households, received the order and led the soldiers of the Power Brave Team to do business.

Suspected that the offender was a deceased person, he should be good at his skills and was very likely to carry weapons. So Wang Yu ordered his brothers to carry weapons such as strong | crossbows, and at least wear shank and clamping to protect the vital parts. Despite this, Wang Yu also felt that brothers might be injured.

Wang Baihu took Quan Yong's team to an inn on Caihaizi. When he saw the spies hiding nearby, he determined the place. At his order, everyone rushed into the inn according to the tactics he trained in advance.

However, when Wang Yu saw an unexpected scene, the deceased disciples were fighting internally!

Three people had died in the inn room, and the three remaining livings were fighting each other. After a while, Wang Yu understood the situation: one of them was the leader, and the leader had already killed three of his own people and was about to kill the other two. Or was it for silence?

"Bang!" Wang Yu pulled the mechanism of the crossbow, and a crossbow arrow inserted into the forehead of the "leader", and the fight suddenly came to an abrupt end.

The soldiers took advantage of the situation and rushed over to the ground.

Wang Yu ordered the survivor to be tied up and sent to the Han Palace. Soon after, the soldiers who went to Li Louxian's mansion reported that the suspects there were very alert and escaped in advance.

...Zhu Gaoxu received a report and was about to find someone to be responsible for the slaughter of the survivor, Chief Li Mo volunteered.

Li Mo was born into a military general's family in the garrison, but he failed to inherit the military position because he failed the exam. Li Mo had never served as an official in criminal law, but he was full of confidence and seemed to have a lot of experience. Zhu Gaoxu agreed casually and ordered Hou Hai to take charge of the matter with him.

Unexpectedly, Li Moque had some tricks and asked for many useful confessions two days later.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on a carved mahogany chair in the study. The satin on the table was also red, and it was faintly bloody for a moment.

Li Mo handed over a messy confession, but most of the original confession was like this. He clasped his fists and said, "After the news of the officials, you can be sure that these people came from the Laotian chieftain. The two arrested, one of them was Han and the other was Annan."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and signaled him to continue talking.

Li Mo said, "They had seven people on this trip, four of them died, one escaped, and two captured. This time they sneaked into Yunnan Prefecture City to assassinate and kill a Han man named Chen Xingwang."

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu made a voice.

Li Mo said: "Chen Xingwang was originally accomplice of the evil people.

Chen Xingwang used to be with several of the Han people in Annan, Laos and other places, smuggling hawksch, pearls, and rhinoceros horns. He was employed by an Annan man named Chen An a few years ago... Chen An was dead, and he was killed by a hundred-house Wang Yu in the inn with a crossbow arrow."

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Why do they want to kill Chen Xingwang?"

Li Mo said: "The officials also asked the reason. Chen An was responsible for guarding a mother and son, and he had Chen Xingwang under his command. Unexpectedly, Chen Xingwang secretly abducted the boy and rushed to Kunming City. So Chen An sneaked into Kunming City with his people, killed Chen Xingwang, and wanted to kidnap the boy back."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the sloppy confession and asked, "Is there any other confession? Who is Chen An employed? Who is that mother and son?"

Li Mo replied: "The officials thought that the two criminals were not aware of this."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly and agreed with Li Mo's judgment for a moment. After all, the two people he caught were just minions. He waved his hand and said, "If you can't ask anything else, you will be sent to the government jail... Because of the matter, don't send it to the government office. Just get it to the commander-in-chief of the capital."

Li Mo said, "The emperor obeys the order."

Through these fragmented news, Zhu Gaoxu determined a fact in his heart: the dead Chen An was not the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, Chen An would not have taken risks in person, and there would be no need to fight in internal conflicts.

If you want to know more, you will have an informed living person: Chen Xingwang.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered what Chen Xu said, and Li Louxian and his wife wanted to meet and thank the King of Han for their great kindness. Zhu Gaoxu was not interested in this, but at this time he felt that he could meet.

Just as he was thinking this, Chen Xu sent someone to deliver a letter. Zhu Gaoxu was still in the study, so he immediately opened Chen Xu's letter.

Chen Xu wrote that the boy brought back by Chen Xingwang was a very important person in Annan Kingdom; Chen Xingwang found that someone had chased him to Yunnan Prefecture and asked Chen Xu for protection. Chen Xu thought that this matter could not be concealed by the Han Palace, so he recommended the Han King to Chen Xingwang and asked if the Han King was willing to pay attention.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered Wang Yu, a hundred households, to bring people to pick up Chen Xingwang.

...When Chen Xingwang arrived at the Han Palace, the drum sound at the You hour had just sounded.

His skin is dark, almost as dark as the natives, and his appearance is probably Han. Many places in Yunnan are also very dark in the sun, but looking at the faces are still a little different.

Chen Xingwang took a boy of four or five years old. After searching, the two were taken straight to the study in the front hall of the Han Palace.

The boy's face was indeed a little different from that of the Han children. He looked timid and confused. Chen Xingwang was like a frightened bird, and his worries were overwhelmed by his face. When he met, he knelt down and said, "Please save the people, and the life of the prince of Annan! The great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."

Prince of Annan? Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that this matter was getting bigger and bigger. He said kindly: "Chen Xingwang, don't worry, the assassin has been eradicated by the guards of the royal palace."

Chen Xingwang said: "It seems that there are fish that have missed the net! They are very big... They will never give up until they get rid of the grass people."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You are now in the residence of the princes of the Ming Dynasty. How big are they from?"

This sentence means that Chen Xingwang is a little calmer.

So Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the mahogany chair, walked to the front of the table, and said, "Get up and talk."

Chen Xingwang stood up and stood there bent over, his hands still trembling, as if he was afraid.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "There is a chair next to you. Sit down and relax. Come and have a tea."

Chen Xingwang looked flattered. Zhu Gaoxu disagreed. A prince didn't need to be arrogant in front of the common people. He advised kindly: "You have to tell me the whole story so that I can help you, right? If you come from the truth, I will protect you as a commoner, that's not easy?"

Chen Xingwang nodded constantly like a chicken pecking at rice. After a while, when he spoke, his mouth was still a little unclear. "The little prince Chen Zhengyuan is the posthumous son of the former king of Annan Kingdom, and the queen..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the child standing in the study room again. At first glance, the child was a little timid and curious, but he looked very well-behaved and quiet. After entering the house, he didn't say a word and didn't cry.

"Chen Zhengyuan?" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out.

Chen Xingwang nodded and said, "The prince was born in the second year of Jianwen. It was only a few months after the previous king of Annan Kingdom was assassinated. The queen gave him the name."

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, the second year of Jianwen (1400) would be renamed "The Thirty-third Year of Hongwu". Chen Xingwang was still using the Jianwen year name and did not know how to avoid it. It seemed that he had indeed just returned to the Ming Dynasty shortly after.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu remembered what Chen Xu said again. The Queen of Annan was very beautiful. The powerful minister Hu planned to kill the monarch and usurp power and seize the throne because he wanted to occupy her. So Zhu Gaoxu became more and more curious and couldn't help but ask: "How did you kidnap Chen Zhengyuan?"

Chen Xingwang hurriedly shook his head and said, "How dare Caomin kidnap Prince Annan? There is no benefit... At that time, Caomin was willing to risk his life to do this because of the queen's entrusted!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, some imagination appeared in his mind... The queen of beauty was fascinating, Chen Xingwang was fascinated by the eyes and was willing to sacrifice his life for him.

Of course he didn't say it, and walked on the wooden floor for two steps. He reached out and stroked his broad forehead and said, "You'll start slowly, what's going on?"

"Where does the grass people start..." Chen Xingwang pondered.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. Seeing Chen Xingwang's restless look, he would say whatever he wanted to avoid disturbing his thoughts.

After a while, Chen Xingwang finally said, "Caomin committed a life in Yunnan Prefecture, and there were rewards and posts everywhere, so he did not dare to stay in Yunnan Prefecture anymore.

Caomin fled south and met several other Han people on the ground of Laos. He followed them to do business with blood licking at the knife edge, often traveling around Laos and Annan border, just wanting to stutter. Among his accomplices were several Annan people and Laotian natives.

Later, with the introduction of Annan people who were with him, Caomin and others met Chen An from Annan. Chen An had a land and a manor in Annan. We followed him and lived in a villa in the north of Annan Kingdom for several years. Everyone's life became much more stable and comfortable, so they devoted themselves to serving him. In the second year of Jianwen, a woman pregnant with Liujia came to the manor…”

"Is this person the Queen of Annan?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help asking.

Chen Xingwang nodded and said, "That's right! It took a long time before Caomin knew her identity."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be curious and asked casually: "What does it look like?"

Chen Xingwang fell into silence, looking confused and unable to say a word for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu observed his expression and had probably guessed that Queen Annan should have been very beautiful. Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Don't think of her for now, let's continue to talk about you."

Chen Xingwang woke up like a dream and hurriedly bent down and said, "Yes. Caomin has been... even though he dared not have a blasphemy heart since he saw her for the first time, he always wanted to see her again. It's better to just take a look at her every day... The queen must have noticed Caomin, but she has never spoken to Caomin."

Zhu Gaoxu looked like he was listening with his ears in his ears, and nodded from time to time to show that he was listening. When he heard this, he thought to himself: There is a follow-up to this man and woman with a huge difference in identity, and they must have spoken, otherwise how could the little prince Annan be with Chen Xingwang?
