Chapter 2: Under House Arrest (2)
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Yinglong was in a state of confusion and thought to himself, would everything he had worked hard for a year turn into a bubble?
"Prince, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, Shi Zhi, came here arrogantly, and may be coming to see you." In order to conceal his identity and become a maid who takes care of his daily life, Xiong Hu was a little unwilling to do so. In such a bad situation, he had to put the overall situation first and take on this job. Wang Chengen was temporarily responsible for the daily work of the royal palace. Shi Kefa's words and deeds were also monitored, and his actions were not free. It can be said that the one who can discuss now is Xiong Hu who takes care of Zhu Yinglong.
Zhu Yinglong had not decided whether to see him or not. With a loud bang, the door of the study was pushed open rudely.
"After separation for many years, I believe in the prince, but I miss him so much!"
Seeing that he was not well-produced, Zhu Yinglong broke into his study without authorization. He looked apologized and did not take him as the prince seriously. He was not polite and was slightly angry in his heart. He was about to break out. His sleeves were gently pulled by someone. He suddenly realized that it was not advisable to get angry at this time. He immediately suppressed his anger, but it did not mean that he could be so insulted. He said coldly: "Left Deputy Commander Shi, this title of King is still there. Can you tell me what the hell did if you trespass your study without being well-produced?"
Zuo Changqing suffered a great loss under Zhu Yinglong's men a year ago, and was beaten in public for twenty platoons. His face was ruined. This time, he got the opportunity. King Xin was ordered to be placed under house arrest and was about to be destroyed. He happened to avenge the humiliation of a year ago. He wanted to give him some color first. In his eyes, the small vassal king was nothing. It was easy for the emperor's wife and Eunuch Wei to let her die. He wanted to come in and proudly want to see the dignified Prince Xin bowed his head to him. But he knew that not only was he not afraid at all, but he immediately defeated him. This was the second time he was offended. He subconsciously felt a little scared, and the smug smile on his face disappeared.
"Someone is here!" Zhu Yinglong shouted coldly.
"I'm here!" Four tough guards walked in. When Zhu Yinglong entered Beijing, Xiong Tingbi carefully selected twelve guards for him, and the four people who came in were among them, and they were absolutely loyal to Zhu Yinglong.
"What should be the most important thing for disrespect for the Ming Dynasty?"
"The lightest ones are punished forty, and the worst ones are sent to the frontier!" The four of them said in unison.
Sweat beads on Zuo Changqing's forehead suddenly penetrated. Logically speaking, Zhu Yinglong's current identity under house arrest has no right to punish him, but he knew that even if he beat him now, he had nothing to say. Although the king was a lieutenant, his title was not abolished. If he became serious, he could not escape his disrespectful crime.
"Drag out and let this left deputy commander, Lord Shi, learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and then come in!" Zhu Yinglong thought to himself. If he didn't resist, he would probably be over. The way of keeping a low profile would no longer work for the current situation.
"Yes, Prince!" The four of them lowered their heads and responded in unison.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. You have the emperor's destiny and you don't have the power to punish you!" Zuo Changqing retorted fiercely.
"Emperor's Destiny?" Zhu Yinglong sneered three times, "The emperor only issued an order to restrict your freedom of entry and exit. Has it ever made you rush around in the palace or even so rude to me?"
In ancient times, no matter which ministers or relatives were imprisoned or imprisoned, they were not a person with a tail between their tails. Few were as strong as Zhu Yinglong and were aggressive in house arrest.
"This, this is the humble duty. Any room in the royal palace has the power to inspect the commander's history. How can you say it's a rampant?" Zuo Changqing suddenly became bolder and said.
"Oh, is that?" Zhu Yinglong raised a smile between the corner of his mouth and stood up and said, "Even if it is, you are arrogant to me, and you do not distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and you do not respect etiquette and law. When you see me, you can't even kneel down and bow down. This is the first point, I haven't wronged you, right?"
Zuo Changqing said silently, and suddenly his eyes turned, "You are the minister who is guilty, why should I kneel down to you!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yinglong suddenly laughed and said, "But I want to hit you today!"
"You..." Zuo Changqing's eyes widened, looking at Zhu Yinglong in disbelief, his neck was already swollen red.
"Drag out!" Zhu Yinglong glanced at him in disgust and ordered without any emotion.
"Ah, ah, ah..." A scream came from outside the study. The yard was full of Jinyiwei, but none of them came forward to plead for their boss. Many of them knew that Prince Xin beat Zuo Changqing in public outside the mansion a year ago. A year later, King Xin also beat Zuo Changqing, who was mean and charming. That time, there were twenty big boards. He couldn't get out of bed for half a month. This time, it was doubled. Forty big boards, maybe because he had recovered his body. His white and fat butt was covered in blood after only a dozen strokes. After 40 strokes, the feces and urine came out at once, and the man was dying, leaving only one breath. Some Jinyiwei saw their boss's ugly appearance secretly laughing underground.
Zuo Changqing was beaten and the flesh was broken. The Jinyiwei rushed to carry people back for treatment. Zhu Yinglong took advantage of the chaos and let Xiong Hu slip out of the palace and let Zhou Huaian pass the news of his house arrest. Zhou Yingning, who was in Kaifeng, was prepared. At the same time, they told them not to act rashly and not to send people to Beijing for rescue. They must not dismantle the treasure he left for her until he had no choice. Zhu Yinglong judged that the next step of the court might be to send people to collect his own evidence of his crime, so some key people and things in the villa must be transferred. When the site was first selected, he considered that if something was impossible, all boarded the ship in Zhuxian Town and retreated to the south.
Fang Qu, in fact, Tian Wan had an important task. Zhu Yinglong concealed it from everyone, that is, to secretly build a secret base in Yangzhou. This idea was only thought of after Zhu Yinglong wiped out the Japanese pirates. The money was also used by those who got from the Japanese pirates. This is also the real reason why after discovering that Tian Hong was walking on two boats, Zhu Yinglong hurriedly recalled Tian Wan. After the cunning rabbit was three holes, Zhu Yinglong had to keep his hands behind him, but he would not say it after the last resort. This would make everyone think that he had guaranteed and that he would lose it without the courage to burn the boat.
"Your Majesty, it's so satisfying today. That Zuo Changqing shit was urinating all the yard. Yongshui washed it several times. Until now, he still smelled a stinking smell when he walked into the yard. He was so embarrassed." Shi Kefa said excitedly. Fortunately, Zhou Huaian, the intelligence leader, had all the original Jinyiwei called back and changed another group of people after such a fuss. After clever arrangement, the Jinyiwei, who had the three people closest, had changed to their own people, and the conversation was much easier.
"Don't be too happy too early. We are under house arrest in the royal palace and can't go anywhere!" Xiong Hu's cold words suddenly extinguished Shi Kefa's excited flames, and people unconsciously calmed down.
"Xianzhi, our current situation is very subtle. I guess the person who put us under house arrest was not instructed by the emperor, but by Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, the only way for us to restore freedom is to let the emperor know about this matter, and there may be a turning point!" Zhu Yinglong analyzed calmly.
"But we are imprisoned, how can we let the emperor know?" Shi Kefa asked.
"Don't worry, this is the king. I have already decided to see you tomorrow." Zhu Yinglong said with a mysterious smile.
Shi Kefa and Xiong Hu looked at each other. They could not think of any way to let the emperor know about his house arrest. Now the officials in the capital are either Wei Zhongxian's lackeys or Mingzhe protect themselves. Even if they know, they would not be able to speak for him. Besides, if the emperor does not attend court, they must first pass Wei Zhongxian if they want to see the emperor. Wei Zhongxian will not be allowed to see him. Which minister can see the emperor and tell the emperor about this? They naturally have no belief.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt a hint of warmth coming from the jade pendant on his chest, and this was his hope.
