Chapter 31 Trapped Beast

Since ancient times, the harem has been the bloodiest place. It often seems peaceful, but it is full of murderous intent.

After three days in a row, the incident of Feng Guiren's abortion seemed to have never happened. Emperor Zhu Youxiao only went to see it once, and then it was left alone as Cao Huachun thought.

Zhu Xu also sighed that Concubine Feng had saved her life at least, but was originally executed by Keshi.

He has been staying in the study and reading books for the past few days. Queen Zhang obviously noticed something. She has sent people to check the palace several times these days, for fear of any poison. The emperor began to focus on the court. Ye Xianggao had already written a letter to retire. A carrot is a pit, and the court fights will begin again.

Zhu Xu lay on a rocking chair, eating pastries while flipping through an isolated copy of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Zhou Jianyu has written a letter." Cao Wenzhao walked in from outside and said excitedly.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu are good friends, both of Wei Zhongxian's capable generals, one is one of the five tigers and the other is the dog head of ten dogs.

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "What's good news?"

Cao Wenzhao stood in front of Zhu Xu, handed the memorial written by Ni Wenhuan to Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Highness, Zhou Yingqiu's old man actually wants to go to Nanjing to be the Minister of Rites."

The previous turmoil caused four or five ministers of the six ministers of the north and south capitals to resign, and one of them happened to be the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.

Zhu Xu looked briefly, smiled and said, "He is trying to escape by retreating."

Cao Wenzhao was also quite afraid of this old guy's method. He looked at Zhu Xu and wanted to try and say, "Your Highness, what should we do? Or take the opportunity to take him down so that he will never be able to resume it?"

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "No, he will never die if he is not in the Yellow River."

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that Zhou Yingqiu asked Ni Wenhuan to submit this memorial at this time, and the emperor probably would not let him go. He would probably join him with Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui and others to balance and take over as the chief assistant.

Zhou Yingqiu should have expected this, so he probably has some help, right?

But no matter what you have, keep it.

Zhu Xu's heart was moving, and he looked up at Cao Wenzhao and said, "You ask Wu Tian to take someone to Zhou Yingqiu's mansion, and you will investigate the matter of buying and selling officials during his tenure. Don't say anything else." After that, he secretly said in his heart, "Brother, thank me, this Zhou Yingqiu is a big trouble, I will deal with it for you with the emperor."

Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu was putting pressure on the Zhou surnamed, and quickly responded, "Yes, I'll do it now, but, Your Highness, if you do this, he will really submit and will not use tricks anymore, and will return home honestly?"

"Go back to his hometown? That's what he thought was so beautiful."

Zhu Xu sneered and stood up and moved his body. He didn't want Zhang Wenda and others to leave Beijing because they were all upright and capable people. Not to mention that they would be activated again in the future, just staying in the capital would be a great help. And this week Yingqiu returned to his hometown and let the tiger go back to the mountain. He would not do such a thing.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know what Zhu Xu had to do. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to do things according to Zhu Xu's instructions.

Two hours later, Ni's Mansion.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu sat opposite each other. Zhou Yingqiu looked listless and looked self-deprecating.

There were wine and food between the two, both of which were home-cooked, which made them look very close.

Zhou Yingqiu drank a lot and sighed as if drunk and awakened, "Brother Ni, Lord Gu, Lord Wei no longer see me."

"Why do you care about Brother Zhou? Now it's just a small setback. You and I are both Jinshi who have passed the hurdles and won't be discouraged." Ni Wenhuan persuaded her with a close friend and drank with her. But she thought to herself, "Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui is now highly valued by the emperor and will enter the cabinet soon. How could she meet you, a person who is right and wrong at this time?"

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I think I, Mr. Zhou, also entered the court and entered the imperial study room. Now I am in a downturn. I didn't expect that only Brother Ni can drink. The world is cold and cold, but this is the case."

Ni Wenhuan looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, and he said unintentionally, "Brother Zhou, can you ask, Eunuch Wei was really robbed in your mansion?"

Zhou Yingqiu's expression became more bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Ni would believe such rumors? There are dozens of wealthy families in my family. Who dares to break into my mansion to rob people? Is it a rebellion?"

Ni Wenhuan believed that there was no wind and waves, and he knew that Eunuch Wei had indeed secretly sneaked back to the capital. He was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou, if the Jinyiwei had brought up the old debt, I'm afraid the emperor would have to take care of it. Your memorial..."

Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ni, it's better not to go. Now I just want to leave Beijing safely, so where are there any other extravagant hopes?"

Ni Wenhuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well who Zhou Yingqiu was. He would not come to his house just to find someone to drink to drown his sorrows, but it was probably because of some reason.

Ni Wenhuan changed his mind, besides this censor's identity, what else can Zhou Yingqiu be concerned about?

Suddenly, Ni Wenhuan's body shook, and he remembered his "master" he had never met before.

Ni Wenhuan kept silent and accompanied Zhou Yingqiu to drink, listening to his complaints.

Seeing that Ni Wenhuan didn't get into a trap for a long time, Zhou Yingqiu guessed that he had already understood, so he looked at Ni Wenhuan with drunken eyes and said, "Brother Ni, I'm at a desperate situation now. If there is a way, please help me with me, and I will be rewarded in the future!"

Ni Wenhuan smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhou, my master is not an ordinary person, that's really expensive."

The reason why Zhou Yingqiu came to Ni Wenhuan's mansion was that he found out that Ni Wenhuan's wife's brother was protected by former Minister of Personnel Zhang Wenda. The person who could ask Zhang Wenda was, in his guess, he must be a noble person in the palace!

Zhou Yingqiu was still drunk, as if he was talking drunkenly, and said, "Brother Ni, don't worry, Dan will do everything if he asks." As he said that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and pushed them to Ni Wenhuan.

Ni Wenhuan glanced at Yinbao, her eyelids twitched slightly, but she didn't dare to make decisions without permission. She paused and said, "Brother Zhou might as well sleep first. I'll take you to see someone in the evening."

"Seeing people? OK, then seeing people." Zhou Yingqiu seemed unable to hold on and lay on the table all at once, as if he was guilty.

Ni Wenhuan asked Zhou Yingqiu to the wing room, and then wrote a letter to the servants to send it to the Zhou silk shop.

When Zhou Jianyu received the letter, he naturally transferred it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened the letter and looked at the letter written by Ni Wenhuan, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu laughing, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, what are you writing?"

"Here, I've taken the bait." Zhu Xu smiled and threw the letter to Cao Wenzhao and said.

After reading the letter, Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu with a lit look and said, "Your Highness, is Zhou Yingqiu going to surrender to us?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "This old dog doesn't do anything serious, what do he want him to do."

Cao Wenzhao was confused. He didn't know what purpose Zhu Xu had done so much. He hesitated and said, "That Highness..."

Zhu Xu sat up, held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Let Zhou Jianyu go to see him, let him write a letter of loyalty, and then let Wei Zhongxian escape."

Cao Wenzhao quickly understood what Zhu Xu meant and said, "Your Highness, are you going to trap him? Yes, I'll make arrangements now."
