My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 199 Stolen and Obtained

  Zhu Di was happily calculating the proceeds of today's auction.

  Seeing Zhang Anshi come in suddenly, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

  But Zhu Di is not a fool.

  This is a good time to make money... how can it be... just stop it?

  The only reason, something must have happened.

   Soon, Zhang Fu found Zhu Di as expected.

  Zhu Di only nodded to him, but still kept his expression on.

  He was unusually calm at this time, neither asking Zhang Anshi what happened, nor saying much.

   Several inner guards mixed in the crowd had quietly surrounded him.

   And Zhang Fu also stood by the knife, standing silently by Zhu Di's side.

  But the merchants are dissatisfied. In their view, this must be another news, which may lead to an increase in the price of precious goods.

  He whose surname is Zhang is not a human being... how can there be a business that is halfway through and then suddenly stopped?

  So everyone shouted in unison: "Why don't you shoot, I've already shouted the price."

   "Then does what I bought just now count?"

   "It's really unreasonable. Anyway, everything must be reasonable. Even if you don't auction it, why do you keep me waiting here?"

   One voice after another reproached.

  Zhang Anshi was unmoved.

  He whispered to Zhu Yong beside him: "The rebellious party may be inside, please be smart and see if there are any suspicious people."

Then Zhang Anshi cursed loudly: "Your mother, what do you want? If I say no, I won't! What are you talking about, are you blind? Don't even look at who is standing in front of you!" Come on, whoever said something dirty just now, stand up for me!"

  Zhang Anshi was aggressive.

   All of a sudden, the merchants fell silent.

   This is a ruthless person, who dares to talk too much at this time?

  Zhang Anshi's eyes quickly swept over each face.

  He was a little anxious, because... he couldn't confirm what action the other party would take, and he was a little clueless right now.

  The scholar quietly hid in the corner again.

  He looked calm and composed, as if for him, what happened now... had nothing to do with him.

  The old servant was a little panicked, approaching the scholar's ear, and said in a low voice, "I have to leave."

  The scholar just shook his head, but couldn't stop coughing.

  He covered his mouth, desperately enduring the coughing sound, and coughed lightly, but fortunately it was not loud.

  The old servant became more and more anxious, and it was only when he saw the scholar's calm expression that he felt a little at ease.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi from another person said: "Come here, let me check one by one, and take down any suspicious ones immediately."

   As soon as the order was given, the guards behind followed the orders one after another.

  Zhang Anshi has already walked to Zhu Di's side.

  Beside Zhu Di, there are imperial guards who have formed a human wall for him, separating him from other people.

  Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said softly, "What happened?"

  Zhang Anshi spoke succinctly and authentically: "The minister has found the rebellious party."

   He also answered in a low voice.

  Zhu Di showed surprise.

   These days, he clearly sees that Zhang Anshi is doing nothing, doing things that are not available all the time.

  Where did I expect... this guy... secretly still investigating the case.

  The most important thing is that the rebellious party's whereabouts are very strange. After so long, Jin Yiwei has no clue, but the opponent is so powerful that even Zhu Di feels jealous.

  Unexpectedly... Zhang Anshi actually had a new clue in a short period of time.

   "Who is the Rebel Party and where is it?"

   "I still don't know who it is." Zhang Anshi said in a low voice, "However, I suspect that the rebellious party may be in this venue at this time."

  Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

  He couldn't imagine that the rebellious party dared to be so bold.

   But he remained calm.

   After all, for Zhu Di, these are all pediatrics. For other emperors, he might have panicked a long time ago, but in his life, he has experienced many adventures, let alone escaped from death many times.

  So Zhu Di said: "Now... what do you want me to do? Should I stay here or leave?"

  Zhang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, he actually knew Zhu Di, and Zhu Di's temperament... To some extent, he was a bit headstrong.

  But at this time, Zhu Di came to ask his opinion, which shows that Zhu Di very much recognized Zhang Anshi's judgment. At this juncture, all the trust of Zhang Anshi was entrusted.

  Zhang An Shidao: "It's better to stay here, because the minister is also chaotic and disorderly. If he goes out rashly, the minister doesn't know what arrangements these rebellious parties have..."

  Zhu Di nodded and nodded: "Then you can do your own work."

  Zhang Anshi said: "It's better for me to be by His Majesty's side."

  Zhu Di said boldly: "Don't worry... If there is really a rebellious party in front of me, I can crush him with one hand. Anyone who can harm me alone has not yet been born."

  Zhang Anshi thought silently in his heart: "That's right, it's because I feel safe by His Majesty's side, there are so many elite inner guards, and Your Majesty also has the courage to be undeserved, so relying on Your Majesty, I can live safely."

   Of course, this can only be said in my heart.

Zhang Anshi opened his mouth and said: "No, it is the responsibility of Neiqianhusuo to protect His Majesty! I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, no matter what, I must stay with Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. If there are really thieves who are insane, dare you Even if I risk my life to stab you forward, I still want to..."

   Zhang Anshi didn't continue talking about the following words.

  However, at this time, he was acting righteous and awe-inspiring. Zhu Di couldn't help but look at him sideways, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

   Sure enough, I can still rely on my own people. This guy was not only raised by the prince, but also close to me, and has the courage of Zhang Yu.

  At this very moment, Zhu Di actually thought of Zhang Yu, the guy who rescued him from the enemy's formation during his narrow escape...

  At this time, there was no sound in the venue.

  Like a pantomime, Zhu Yong started to take two guards to check on the merchants one by one.

  Manpower is too small. Before the model camp comes, I don’t know how long this kind of investigation will take.

  Businessmen in this era have always been timid. After all, they are used to being contemptuous. If there is any trouble, if they feel that something is wrong, they will naturally cooperate obediently. At this time, no one dares to make a big fuss.

   "Cough...cough cough..."

   Faintly, Zhang Anshi heard a burst of light coughing...

  This made Zhang Anshi frown. He followed the coughing sound and looked over, but saw a lot of people there.

  Zhang Anshi subconsciously pointed in the direction of the cough and said, "Check there first."

  Zhu Yong and the others cheered up immediately and headed in that direction.

  So...the merchants over there were all trembling.

  Zhu Yong has vigilance in his eyes.

  Zhang Anshi stared at that direction.

  The scholar was among the crowd, looking like he was thinking.

  He obviously... felt a little weird.

  It seems that the other party... seems to have some understanding of him.

how is this possible…

  His whereabouts... how do these people know?

  He coughed desperately.

  The old servant beside him was noticed by Zhu Yong, so he stepped forward and said coldly: "Who are you?"

   "Small... do business."

   "What business do you do?"

   "Silk...silk..."

   "Silk business, come to join in the fun of treasures?"

   "It's really to see the fun."

  Zhu Yong said: "How much is a foot of silk now?"

   "This... four hundred and fifty big money."

   "Haha..." Zhu Yong shouted, "You guessed wrong."

  The guard at the back didn't hesitate any longer, and directly pushed him to the ground.

  The old servant shouted loudly: "What are you going to do, isn't it four hundred and fifty dollars a foot? I... I am wronged..."

Zhu Yong said: "Your mother, do you think I'm as easy to cheat as my father? I can use my brain too. The four hundred and fifty yuan a foot you said is indeed correct, but it's the price in the shop... But you As a silk merchant, what you do is buying and selling silk. In your heart, the price of silk is by no means the market price in the eyes of ordinary people. If you sell silk, the price should be around 300 Wen, not More than four hundred words!"

   "Damn you, although you know the market price, you don't know how to buy and sell. You need to keep enough profit for the shop. What kind of business are you doing?"

  The old servant was shocked: "Yes, yes, I only talked about the market price just now, but actually..."

  Zhu Yong interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, since you said that, let me ask you again, you sell silk. Last year, the price of silk dropped. What is the reason and how much did it drop?"

   All of a sudden, the old servant was speechless.

  This kind of problem has nothing to do with the ordinary people who go to the store to buy silk. A real silk merchant must be familiar with price fluctuations. After all...every fluctuation is directly related to profit, even if it is death, he will remember it clearly.

  Zhu Yong looked at his reaction, very happy, and excitedly said: "Brother, I found it, I found it, **** it, I have long felt that something is wrong with this person, brother, you can see that I can use my brain."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't laugh or cry, and glanced at Zhu Di beside him.

Zhu Di looked at the old servant, but said slowly: "This man can't straighten his waist, and has calluses on his hands, especially between the thumb and index finger. Besides, he is wearing the commoner clothes produced in Songjiang Prefecture that merchants often wear. , cloth shoes, but his hands always hang down subconsciously, I think... this person should be used to serving others, the real rebel is not him, he is at best a remnant."

  Zhang Anshi whispered: "Your Majesty is wise."

  So Zhang Anshi said loudly: "Just now when you saw him, who were you with? Whoever saw him, hurry up and say, I will give you a thousand taels of silver."

  As soon as this remark came out.

   Immediately, someone excitedly pointed at the scholar who quietly moved away from the old servant.

   "Cough cough...cough cough...cough cough..."

  The scholar, who had been holding back his cough, couldn't help feeling tense at this moment, as Wan Fu pointed out. But at this moment, he couldn't hold back his cough anymore, and started coughing crazily.

  Zhang Anshi immediately pointed to the scholar and said, "That's him, the fucker, there's nowhere to find it. It doesn't take much effort to get it, let me take it."

  Zhu Yong did not hesitate, and rushed forward.

  The scholar didn't have any resistance at all, and was directly thrown down by Zhu Yong.

  The old servant who was pushed to the ground shouted loudly, "Don't hurt my master."

   But he was kicked hard by someone. The old servant held back the severe pain and yelled: "Run, run."

  But at this time...where can I escape?

  The scholar didn't have the slightest intention of struggling or escaping. After coughing, his breathing seemed to be much smoother, but he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Oh... I really didn't expect it..."

  His voice was full of frustration, unwillingness, and shock.

   This is definitely a setback for him.

  A person who calculated others all his life, but was calculated by others in the end.

  This feeling of frustration can be imagined.

  Zhu Yong lifted his lapel like a chicken, and couldn't help cursing: "That's it? That's it? It doesn't look like it at all."

  The scholar was lifted with his feet in the air, his image was so gentle that his face was blushing.

  Zhang Anshi thought of something, and immediately said: "Search him, be careful that he commits suicide."

  So another guard groped his body carefully for a while.

  All the merchants in this venue have long been dumbfounded.

  At this time, everyone began to notice the abnormality, and even dared not show it.

   After a while, the guard found a small gourd from the scholar, opened it, sniffed it, frowned and said, "It looks like poison."

  Zhang Anshi looked at the guard sympathetically. Fortunately, this guy isn't doing chemistry. He's a fucker. He smells things when he sees them. Don't you think he's not dying fast enough?

  Zhu Di looked straight at the scholar, and carefully sized him up and down.

  His eyes were like knives, and he was silent for a long time.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi took courage, stepped forward, slapped the scholar, and then said: "Your mother, teach me how to find it, and say...you...what are you planning?"

  The scholar smiled and said: "You will never know."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Now, are you still stubborn?"

   "It's not hard-talking." The scholar said: "Everyone here...all will die, and now even I can't be spared. Hey...what a pity, I never thought...I will die with you."

  Zhang Anshi's face changed, and he immediately said: "Come here, search the venue carefully, and see if there is... anything else in this venue."

  Zhu Yong and others quickly started searching.

  The merchants were also startled, and they looked around one after another, trying to find out what happened.

  Zhang Anshi grabbed the scholar's skirt and said, "Who are you?"

  The scholar actually smiled and said: "You can catch me, but you don't know who I am?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I said my real name, not your alias."

  The scholar laughed, with a bit of sarcasm and sarcasm: "Don't ask, it's meaningless to ask, save your life first."

  On the other side, Zhu Yong said: "Brother, there is nothing in this venue... nothing abnormal."

  Zhang Anshi was relieved for a while, then his eyes fell on the scholar's side again, and he said, "Aren't you willing to talk about it until now?"

   "Actually, I also have many doubts." The scholar sighed and said, "I am confident that I have never given away the slightest bit of lies, but how did you find me?"

   It seems that at this moment, this is what he cares most about.

  Zhang Anshi immediately made a judgment on him. This man...is very magnanimous, but his determination is amazing.

  Of course...he's also very egotistical.

  Only extremely conceited people, at this time, will still think about what kind of loopholes they have.

  It seems...he guessed right.

  Zhang Anshi also smiled and said, "You want to know?"

  The other party was silent.

  Because Zhang Anshi's implication is that if you want to know...then obediently submit and tell Zhang Anshi what you know.

  But it is obvious... this person will not be fooled by Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi said again: "What exactly did you arrange? Tell me quickly."

The scholar said with a wry smile: "I have been seriously ill. Over the years, I have been in pain every day. Now that I have failed... There is nothing to say... Right now... lingering... It is meaningless, but... You are a talent, but it is a pity that , you and I have different paths, you are a soldier and I am a thief..."

Zhang Anshi directly slapped him again, cursing and saying: "Damn, I hate people like you who are sloppy and crooked, come here, take him down first, let him die, even if you are dead, you will definitely die." Can't let him die."

   "Here." The two guards responded.

  The old servant was still struggling, cursing: "Kill me, kill me...Master...Master...it's too late..."

  Zhang Anshi went up to kick him, and said: "Let me live with this too. At that time, there will be ways to punish them. Check again, maybe there are their accomplices here."

  But at this moment...

suddenly…

  An imperial guard came in shouting loudly: "Not good... Soldiers are coming, soldiers are coming... It's a rebellious army, it's a rebellious army..."

  Zhu Di lowered his head, as if he was trying to remember something, when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "I don't believe it, there are still people who dare to defect to the rebel army."

   As he spoke, he showed a heroic side: "Who is the soldier and horse, report my name, and let that person come to see you."

  Zhu Di did not believe that anyone dared to rebel.

  This is also the truth. After all, Zhu Di, an emperor on horseback who was born in the army, has extremely strong control over soldiers and horses.

He dare not say that he completely controls all the imperial guards and the Beijing camp, but almost all the senior military officers can be said to be his confidantes. This kind of feeling of sharing troubles together at the beginning cannot be changed by a few words of agitation from the thieves. .

  The imperial guard immediately stepped forward and said: "These, these...the thieves, didn't talk, directly...directly..."

   Around the venue, countless people fled in all directions.

  In a chaotic, dense crowd of people, they were bullied up, like the waterline of a flood peak.

  In their hands... there are rows of firecrackers. The countless firecrackers set up make people feel frightened.

at the same time…

   Another soldier and horse rushed out.

  Bright armor, hundreds of men and horses, lined up in a tight far circle, Qiu Song led the men and horses calmly, followed by Gu Xingzu and others.

  Qiu Song said: "Brother is amazing, the calculation is really accurate!"

   "Join the battle, join the battle!" Gu Xingzu was already feeling cold all over his body, and now he shouted loudly.

   A whistle sounded, and no one hesitated in the model battalion.

  ...

  At this time, Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly arrived at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

  In the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, there were also reports one by one.

   Xu Huizu was furious, and Qi State Duke Qiu Fu hurried over.

   Soon, the two joined Jin Zhong.

  Jin Zhongdao: "Who mobilized the right sentry of the Fifth Army Battalion?"

  Xu Huizu said: "Didn't it be transferred by the Ministry of War?"

  Jin Zhong was in a hurry: "The Ministry of War doesn't have any written documents, how could it be easily transferred?"

  Xu Huizu frowned: "It's not good, something may happen. Who will be the sentry of the right sentry battalion?"

  Qiu Fu knew the most about the Fifth Army Battalion, and the entire Five Army Commander's Mansion was under the jurisdiction of the three major battalions.

   Among the three major battalions, there are three thousand battalions, Shenji battalion and five military battalions.

  The Fifth Army Battalion has the most soldiers and horses, and there are five soldiers and horses in total: the Central Army Battalion, the Left and Right Posts, and the Left and Right Tie.

   Most of the soldiers and horses are soldiers and horses from Daning, Shandong and other places. They are responsible for stationing in the capital in turn for drills and garrison.

   Most of the generals leading the army were from Jingnan, and Qiu Fu is most familiar with this: "The general on the right post is Huabuluer."

   "Aren't the flowers Luer?" Xu Huizu frowned.

Jin Zhongdao: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most urgent thing right now is to find out why this army horse was mobilized. This is too abnormal...and...and...they are going east, and the east...is Qixia...they are going What is Qixia doing? Why is she moving? There is no one to stop her along the way."

   "Maybe thought it was just a routine exercise."

  Jin Zhongdao: "The matter is urgent, we must follow the authority. The old man suggested that the Sanqian Battalion and the Shenji Battalion be dispatched to Qixia immediately. Hurry up. We don't need to ask for an imperial decree. We can't afford to waste time."

  Qiu Fu suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute...they are going to Qixia? Today...is today the bird auction?"

   Both Xu Huizu and Jin Zhong looked at Qiu Fu.

   At this moment, Xu Huizu also understood, and his face was miserable.

  Jin Zhong was in a hurry: "What...what's going on...what does this have to do with the auction?"

   "There is really no need to ask for an order..." Qiu Fu smiled bitterly: "You don't understand our Majesty."

   What a smart person Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly understood something at this moment: "Your, mean..."

Xu Huizu sneered: "If not, why did you suddenly go straight to Qixia? You don't have to hesitate any longer. I ordered troops to be dispatched to Qixia. What's the matter, the three of us will take care of it. Duke Qiu, you go to the palace and sit in the palace...my dear." Take people and horses to Qixia, to Jinbutang."

  He took a deep look at Jin Zhong: "Jin Butang is going to the East Palace."

   "East Palace..." Jin Zhong was startled, and looked nervously at Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu said: "The rebels are so bold, they must have other plans. They are definitely not reckless, so... the safety of the East Palace must be ensured. Jin Zhong, the crown prince is related to the country and the country. Is Jinbutang worth entrusting?" ?”

  Jin Zhongdao: "Okay, I'll go to the East Palace. If there is a change, the three of you and I... must not let the rebellious officials and thieves succeed."

  At the moment, the three of them immediately issued a military order and left separately.

  Qiu Fu flew his horse towards the palace.

   Halfway through the journey, suddenly there were bows and crossbows shooting out like locusts from the roof ridge along the way.

  The accompanying guard shouted: "Grandpa, be careful."

  Qiu Fu's pupils dilated, and he cursed: "The villain who stabs people in the back..."

  poof...

  A crossbow bolt hit his right arm.

Some of the guards rushed to the streets on both sides, and some rushed towards Qiu Fu. Qiu Fu's arm was dripping with blood, but he said angrily: "Don't worry about me, just keep walking with me... A small injury is nothing. Don't bother with these thieves for the time being... let's go..."

   Immediately continue to gallop on horseback, heading towards the Forbidden City.

  …

   Jin Zhong rode directly to the East Palace.

   Along the way, suddenly a team of Wucheng Bingmasi rushed out and saw him stop.

  Jin Zhongdao: "I am Minister of the Ministry of War..."

   "Dismount..."

  The man in the uniform of the soldiers and horses of the five cities raised his sword, and one of them drew his bow.

  The people in the streets along the way had already run away in fright.

   Seeing this, Jin Zhong shouted: "Grandfathers, please spare your life."

As he said that, he got off his horse in embarrassment, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed like garlic: "I understand. I understand. Grandpas, please forgive me. I am Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War. If you have any orders, grandpas, I will do anything for you. .”

After all, she cried with snot and tears: "Just spare my life. I have an old man and a young man, and I know that all of you grandpas are not idle people. Don't take my life, don't take my life, I will To stay useful..."

  The guards brought by Jin Zhong were stunned, not knowing whether to kneel or stand.

The dozen or so people from Wucheng Bingmasi looked at each other, and the leader laughed loudly, stepped forward, and said: "If you are obedient, then it will be easy to talk about, then... your benefits will be indispensable. Since you are so obedient, then you will No matter how good it is, it's okay to kill you, but if you are willing to submit obediently, there is naturally a place to borrow you..."

   At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.

  But Jin Zhong actually took out the dagger he had hidden from his sleeve, and when he was kneeling on the ground, he stabbed the leader's lower body with the dagger.

   "Ugh..."

  The dagger missed the man's lower body, and blood and white pulp gushed out. Jin Zhong could only feel an unconcealable stench under his nose.

  Jin Zhong looked horrified, and immediately said: "Okay your mother's head, when your grandfather played tricks, you were not born yet."

The blood from the man's lower body flowed down the breeches, he knelt down on his knees, trembling and covering his wound, his face was bloodless, his eyes stared at Jin Zhong unwillingly, finally...he The last bit of breath was gone, and the person fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

  Jin Zhong snatched the broadsword in his hand, rushed forward like crazy, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, kill the thief."

  The few guards in the back reacted and drew their knives one after another.

   But at this moment, Jin Zhong had already whirled the sword dance, and immediately chopped down a thief who hadn't reacted yet, and the blood mist was sprayed directly on Jin Zhong's face.

  Jin Zhong didn't care to wipe off the blood on his face, and continued to wield his big knife, yelling: "Thieves who cheated on your mother, you thieves don't even ask what kind of deeds I, Mr. Jin, did before I became an official."

  A big knife danced vigorously, and the next moment, another head was chopped off.

   These people are already panicking.

  The guards from the back came to kill again, seeing that Jinbutang was possessed like a **** of war, he immediately went all out and drew his sword to fight.

  A moment later, Jin Zhong dropped the knife, looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, and spat: "I have made a fortune telling you that you have a **** disaster today. As expected, I counted it again."

  At that moment, he got on his horse and shouted: "Go to the East Palace quickly. If you are injured, stay where you are and seek medical treatment on the spot. After today, I will protect you as officials, and your descendants will have your shelter today."

   Said, rode the horse and left.

  ...

  Chapter 2 has been delivered, there will be no injections tomorrow, and it will be updated on time, sorry. So what, do you have a monthly pass?
