Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 34 Zhu Gaosui's Threat
Upon hearing this, Di Ping immediately responded, "Then the prince may have to hurry up, because Zhuang Mu only wakes up around noon."

"If you go too late, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

The emperor gave them only three days to investigate the case.

It takes one day to check the basic information, and the results need to be written into a memorial tomorrow. Basically, the investigation time is about one and a half days.

The time for Jinyiwei to investigate cases has never been so tight. Perhaps it is because the dragon robe is usurped and the case involves treason, so time is tight.

Zhu Gaosui patted the sleeves of his Feiyu suit and stood up.

His face was calm, his eyes revealed a fierceness, and he said calmly.

"Others will spoil him, but I won't."

"The old man said that if we can't find out the cause of the case within three days, we will hand over the position of commander to Zhu Zhanji."

"If I can't complete this case, no one will be happy, don't you think?"

Di Ping's body trembled slightly.

He had seen the ruthless methods of this prince.

Compared with the Jinyiwei, they are even worse.

"Your Majesty, perhaps other cases can be successful, but this case is indeed somewhat special."

"I heard that when Zhuang Mu's father passed away, he didn't even wake up. If it weren't for Zhuang Die's good friend who found him and arranged his funeral."

"Otherwise, Zhuang Mu's father will be dead."

The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. Even Zhuang Mu couldn't wake up under such circumstances.

This is enough to show that it is already terminally ill.

The only source of information for this case is Zhuang Mu. If anything happens to him, the mission will not be completed.

Zhu Gaosui was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and prepare the horse?"

We can't gamble. If Zhuang Mu really can't wake up, it will be troublesome.

……

In the tavern.

Zhuang Mu woke up as usual, and Ximei was also making rapid progress these days.

He was no longer as clumsy as he had been in the past few days.

Perhaps because he was full, his face began to turn rosy.

"Ximei, did the guest from yesterday come?"

In response to Zhuang Mu's question, Ximei shook her head slightly.

"No."

He actually stood up.

Come to think of it, the emperor of the time doesn't have so much free time to come here.

If I remember correctly, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, was a workaholic.

But it’s better this way. Receiving the emperor will inevitably be somewhat restrictive, so maintaining the status quo is good enough.

Instead of the "Emperor Yongle" arriving, a few uninvited guests came.

Zhuang Mu could clearly feel that something seemed wrong outside.

Perhaps due to the power of dreams, his hearing and perception are extremely sharp.

Their steps were steady, and there seemed to be quite a lot of people there. It looked like... they were uninvited guests.

"Ximei, go back upstairs first."

Ximei was a little confused when she heard this, but she also listened to Zhuang Mu's words.

After putting down the rag in his hand, he went upstairs.

outside the house.

Zhu Gaosui stood tall and straight, his eyes sharp as he scanned the surroundings.

This is the pub that Mr. Yao often visits. It doesn’t look like anything special.

Not only is it located in a remote area, but it is also very small, with only two floors.

It seems that only the plaque hanging at the door is new, and the rest looks very old.

When Zhu Gaosui, wearing the Qilin costume, was about to walk into the tavern, he heard a voice behind him.

"The third child."

Hearing this voice, Zhu Gaosui felt helpless.

His calm expression changed as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and his eyes narrowed into slits.

Like a fawning dog.

"Brother, didn't I tell you that I will be the only one to investigate this case?" "Then the credit will be ours."

Zhu Gaoxu was only surrounded by a few scattered palace soldiers.

Zhu Gaosui was surrounded by dozens of Jinyiwei and had many other men hidden in secret.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe a word of what his third brother said.

He didn't understand politics or conspiracies, but he understood Zhu Gaosui very well.

After the case is investigated, let alone sharing the credit, it would be good enough if Zhu Gaosui stopped saying bad things about him behind his back.

On the surface, King Zhao was also a member of King Han's party.

Behind the scenes, he is the shield.

As long as he had the chance, Zhu Gaosui could stab him at any time.

"Old Third, I don't understand those twists and turns, but don't I understand you?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaosui with a smile.

Zhu Gaosui pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Second brother, look at what you said. I will always support you."

"Since you want to investigate the case so much, why not do it together?"

Obviously, knowing the current situation is the reason why he still hangs out with the third brother.

Faced with Zhu Gaosui's invitation, he naturally did not refuse and strode into the tavern.

Zhu Gaosui followed beside Zhu Gaoxu, and was slightly slower than Zhu Gaoxu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu pushed the door open and the sound of bells echoed in the tavern.

A wave of heat hit my face.

The gate is not narrow, but it seems a little narrow in front of Zhu Gaoxu's body.

After Zhu Gaoxu walked into the tavern, Zhu Gaosui was not in a hurry to go in.

Instead, he turned to Di Ping beside him and said, "You wait outside. No one is allowed to come in or out without my order."

Di Ping was surprised: "My Lord, isn't this a little unsafe?"

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Di Ping coldly.

Meeting this gaze, Di Ping lowered his head instantly, realizing that he had said too much.

It seems that with Prince Zhu Gaoxu around, no one can threaten their lives.

Unless the tavern is filled with bows, crossbows, or muskets, close combat weapons alone are not enough to harm Zhu Gaoxu's life.

After giving these instructions, Zhu Gaosui also walked into the tavern.

The two entered the tavern, and the first thing they did was to check the environment, which was filled with wooden tables, chairs and benches.

There is also a special counter.

A fair-skinned and handsome young man was standing at the counter looking at the two of them.

Zhu Gaosui stepped forward and said calmly, "The Jinyiwei are investigating a case, why don't you kneel down to greet them?"

The Jinyiwei has become synonymous with power. Even officials have to show courtesy to them when they see the Jinyiwei.

It was normal for ordinary people to kneel down to greet them.

No one wants to go to the Jinyiwei prison.

As long as you enter the Jinyiwei prison, you will have less things.

Hands, legs, heads, intestines, etc. The cruelty was so severe that almost no one could escape from the Jinyiwei prison.

Zhuang Mu was a little distressed.

It seemed like I didn't do anything, so why did the Jinyiwei come to my door out of the blue?

"I wonder, my Lords, which law of the Ming Dynasty have I violated?"

"Law? My words are law."

"Kneel down to greet me. Do I need to say it a third time?"

Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhuang Mu coldly. The Jinyiwei must have enough sense of oppression and enough momentum.

It can make people afraid and terrified.

Bullies and criminals will not be afraid of polite officials, but they will definitely be afraid of the Jinyiwei who are more cruel and ferocious than them.

Sometimes, all it takes is enough pressure and the criminal will quickly confess everything.

This was also a common method used by Zhu Gaosui to investigate cases.

Forcing someone to kneel is a way of exerting oppression, as long as they kneel down.

You will get into his rhythm and control, and everything will be easy.

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid at all. These are the most difficult to deal with and the hardest to handle.
