The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 397 Lan Yu Blocks the Door
Then the group rushed out, while Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was enjoying wine and meat, and watching the singing and dancing.

Since the trade routes to the north were completely cut off, he had fewer and fewer profitable businesses. He finally managed to get a few people to develop in the southwest region, but who would have thought that Zhu Xiong Ying would be so persistent, actually following them to the southwest and completely pacifying the situation there. All the chieftains who had previously been involved in smuggling with them were also wiped out.

The thought of this made him grit his teeth in hatred.

Zhu Xiong Ying's position in the palace examination was very secure, and it would not be easy to bring him down, at least for now, with Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the same place.

Therefore, he secretly rallied many officials and businessmen to deal with Zhu Xiong Ying.

He even bought a lot of poison and trained many assassins. He planned to release them all and believed that none of them would succeed. It was a pity that his own group of useless subordinates dared to attempt an assassination at this time.

It was truly foolish under the circumstances. Even if the goal was to assassinate Zhu Xiong Ying, this was not the time. Those people had already devised a solution, which could be considered a remedy. After thinking about this, he sighed deeply.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, which made him very unhappy. His interest in enjoying the song and dance had been completely ruined. He looked outside with a dissatisfied expression and said...

"What the hell are you bunch of good-for-nothings doing? How come the noise outside is so loud that it's disturbing me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was extremely displeased. After saying these words, he had thought they would be of some use, but the loud noise outside still made him very angry.

Just as he was about to send someone out to investigate what had happened, the door was suddenly kicked open, and several people lay on the ground groaning, which startled him, because these people were all his guards.

Just then, a group of people carrying weapons arrived at this place. Seeing this scene, he was startled and didn't know what was going on. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the leader of the group was none other than Liang Guogong Lan Yu.

This startled her. Liang Guogong Lan Yu was the most steadfast follower of the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying. They were practically natural enemies. How could he possibly come to this place? After thinking about this place...

His expression turned ugly, then he said with a chuckle.

"I was wondering why you suddenly appeared in this place. It turns out to be the Duke of Liang!"

"Duke of Liang, you may not know in any way that my brother has offended you, and I hope you will forgive him!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Lan Yu of Liang snorted coldly.

"What shameful things have you done that I have to tell you?"

"We're all old disciples of Huaixi, and I don't want to embarrass you. But what you did was truly despicable. I've come here today to teach you a lesson!"

Then, he led his generals and surrounded Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang.

Upon hearing these words, Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was extremely frightened and hurriedly replied.

"Let's talk this out. I really don't know what I did to offend you all. I hope you can give me a hint!"

Upon hearing this, the man burst into laughter. At this moment, Duke Lan Yu of Liang stared intently at the man in front of him and said...

"So this is how you die knowing why? I can't believe you dared to arrange for someone to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince! You have some serious guts!"

“It was one thing to smuggle goods to other countries before, we knew about it but pretended to turn a blind eye. We’re all family, no need to make such a fuss. Who would have thought you could do so many things? You’ve really brought shame to the people of Huaixi!” Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was terrified after hearing these words. Had his secret been exposed? If so, this matter would be very serious, as it was no small thing. Thinking of this, he became very nervous and hurriedly said…

"General Lan, what makes you say that? Although I do not like His Highness the Crown Prince very much, it is not enough to send someone to assassinate him."

And I don't understand anything about the smuggling you're talking about!

At this moment, Duke Lan Yu of Liang sneered.

"Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin. Don't tell me you don't know Yuan Cidi and his gang!"

At this moment, Lan Yu clapped his hands, and a commander who was tied up was brought to this place. The faces of these people were ashen.

After seeing these people, Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was extremely nervous. Sure enough, this matter had been discovered. At this moment, he looked at Lan Yu in front of him with great panic and hurriedly said.

"General Lan, there's still some misunderstanding about this matter. Let me explain!"

“These things were all done by these people in private, and have nothing to do with me. I was just protecting them because of my father’s relationship with them, but I never expected that they would dare to pin this mess on me!”

"Please rest assured, Duke of Liang, these people's affairs have nothing to do with me. Do with them as you please!"

Everyone was incredulous upon hearing this, especially the commanders, who glared angrily at Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang.

They haven't revealed the name of Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang until now.

They had thought that Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang would save them, but unexpectedly, instead of saving them, he kicked them when they were down.

At that moment, a commander spoke angrily.

"Lord Marquis, what do you mean by this? Although we were captured, we still deserve credit for our hard work. Why are you so ungrateful? What should we do? You're not taking us seriously at all!"

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang was extremely angry.

Why don't these guys just die? Now that they've been caught, they're dragging me down with them. Do they expect me to save them? Thinking of this place, a fierce thought hardened his heart.

He was about to swing his weapon at the group when Lan Yu blocked his way.

"You little brat, you have some nerve! You actually dared to kill someone in front of me. Do you really think I'm not as good as I used to be?!"

"Of course, you can also choose to kill everyone here. If you have that ability, then perhaps you can cover this up!"

Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang looked at the people in front of him and felt his face darken with uncertainty.
