Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 31

[31. Chapter Thirty]

Juminda came sooner than expected.

He was worried about Zhu Nanxian’s safety, so he let more than a dozen Yulinwei elites clear the way, tore a hole in the Dongcheng soldiers and horses who came to intercept them, and rushed all the way to the south of the city.

Zhu Nanxian is Zhu Minda’s elder brother since childhood, not to mention. More importantly, Zhu Nanxian holds the military power in the northwest. If he dies, the military power in the northwest will fall, and the seventh will have no worries. At that time, even if Zhumin Dashun succeeded the throne locally, and the seven kings also had the strength to lead troops to seize power.

Zhaohe Bridge seems to have been washed with blood.

Didn’t stay alive?

Zhu Minda only felt the blood all over his body rushing to the top of his head, and he asked sternly, “Who did it?

” Although a little bigger, but fortunately changed back to men’s clothing.

Zhu Nanxian lowered his eyes and said, “It’s me.”

“You?” Zhu Minda sneered, “How can I know how talented you are? Jin Wuwei is not by your side, where did you recruit the heavenly soldiers to kill so many of them? People?”

His eyes swept across Zhu Nanxian, then fell on Su Jin again, he smiled again, and his voice became even colder: “Ben Gong is also curious, the recent major events in Yingtiancheng, why can’t everything be separated from Yingtianfu? From the eighth-rank Governor Su?”

Su Jin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhu Minda got off his horse and glanced at Zhu Nanxian who was kneeling beside Su Jin. He knew that he was about to die this time, and he must have something to do with the governor. He said angrily: “Answer!

” Before Jin could answer, Liu Chaoming, who was kneeling on the other side of her, joined hands and bowed to Zhu Minda, “Governor Su came with Wei Chen.

” What does Censor Zuodu mean?”

Is it to remind him that in the palace front garden that day, he, Master Liu, took the position of the prefectural court and bought Su Jin’s life with the East Palace?

Juminda could not stand coercion the most, but he had to take into account the long-term.

He took a deep breath in his heart, and turned to Zhu Nanxian: “I heard on the way here that Ben Gong came to you, you saw a maid in Ma Shaoqing’s mansion and took her away, what about that maid? Didn’t I come with you?”

Zhu Nanxian pursed his lips: “This journey is too dangerous, I let her go.”

“Let’s go?” Zhu Minda couldn’t bear the slurred words of the three of them, and there was a chill between his brows. Angrily: “This dark alley is lonely and empty. Where can a weak girl go? Has she got her wings and flew?” After a while, she turned to look at Su Jin, “It was Governor Su who came here inexplicably. , appearing here inexplicably, it has to make people suspicious.”

He said, suddenly noticing the clothes on Su Jin’s body.

Something is wrong, this shirt is loose, obviously not hers. In other words, before he came here, Su Jin changed his clothes.

But what is the reason why Su Jin has to change his clothes before he can see people?

Zhu Minda narrowed his eyes slightly, as if two strings were broken in his mind, the strings were about to meet, and a clanging sound was about to come out, but at this moment, the footsteps of Zazalala came from the other side of the long street. Voice.

Zhu Minda turned around and saw that it was Shen Xi who had brought the officials from the Mafu to eat moon wine and came here to look for him.

Shen Xi led the officials to bow down to Zhu Minda, and glanced at Su Jin and Zhu Nanxian, who were kneeling on the other side, with a little thought in his heart, raised his face and smiled at Zhu Minda, “His Royal Highness this time. But it’s time to reward Wei Chen.”

Zhu Minda thought he was taking credit for seeing through the Mafu’s establishment, he nodded slightly and said, “Well, it should be rewarded.” Then his eyes swept across the crowd, and slowly said: “Everyone is flat. ”

Shen Xi patted his knees, bowed his hands to Zhu Minda again, and said with a smile: “Your Highness misunderstood, this time Wei Chen deserves a lot of credit, not only His Highness should reward, but Thirteenth Highness should reward.”

Zhu Minda frowned: “If you have something to say, don’t betray yourselves.”

Shen Xi answered yes, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Nanxian: “Dare to ask the Thirteenth Highness, can His Highness beg for a maid from Ma Shaoqing’s mansion?” He Speaking, without waiting for Zhu Nanxian to answer, he gave up his figure, “Look who this is.”

From behind Shen Xi, a maid walked out, with blue silk brushing her shoulders, and she was graceful.

Zhu Nanxian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Xi blankly.

Shen Xi’s face was calm, but his eyes looked straight into his, and he asked as if reminding, “Is this the one you stole just now?”

Zhu Minda’s eyes swept to Zhu Nanxian: “Is it her?

” Nan Xian was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, “Yes.”

Shen Xi said, “His Thirteenth Highness is too sympathetic to Xiangxiyu, how can you tell the girl’s family to go alone in the middle of the long night, fortunately, she bumped into Wei Chen, Otherwise, whoever sees it, won’t your Highness lose your love?” After

he finished speaking, the maid walked up to Zhu Nanxian and called softly, “Your Highness.” Then she bowed down to him.

Zhu Nanxian couldn’t help but glance at Shen Xi, only to see that Shen Xi winked at himself while Zhu Minda was not paying attention, so he could only say “um” and stretched out his hand to help the maid up.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Minda felt a little relieved in his heart, and said, “Alright, since you like her, then you can check her background. As long as she is innocent, she will be taken to your house to be a concubine first.”

Zhu Nanxian stood with his eyes lowered . After a long while, he said the word “good”.

Zhu Minda glanced at Su Jin who was standing silently by the side, and said to Zhu Nanxian earnestly: “When my mother and queen passed away, you were filial to her for three years, and then you went to the northwest to lead troops for five years. It was really a delay. At the beginning of the new year last year, your imperial sister-in-law picked two concubines for you and sent them to your house. I heard that when you came back this year, you sent them away? What is this like? Brother, if you don’t get married again, it will be a joke to the whole world. This palace has asked your imperial sister-in-law to help you choose. After today’s work, you will go back to live in the East Palace. Your imperial sister-in-law will show it to you, if you like it , let’s not talk about righting, you can take it as a side concubine first, eh?”

Zhu Nanxian’s throat moved up and down, but he was speechless for a while.

He really wanted to turn his head to look at Su Jin, who was standing beside him, but he knew that even such a small action might hurt her.

Up to now, Zhu Nanxian I has always expressed his mind directly, frankly and straightforwardly.

However, at this moment, he clenched his hands into fists, and ruthlessly suppressed the water in his mouth. For the first time in his life, he could not bear to answer: “It’s all up to the emperor.”

In fact, Zhu Minda’s words had two meanings. It’s because Zhu Nanxian really should get married, but more importantly, the Dasui implements the vassal system, and Zhu Nanxian can only officially grant the vassal if he is married.

The Seventh King has already bullied his dignified crown prince. If he doesn’t follow the Thirteenth to cultivate his power and grow into his right-hand man, there will only be more disasters in the future.

At this time, another group of people came in a mighty manner from the other side of the long street.

Zhu Minda looked sideways, and in addition to the Yulin guard he brought, there was actually Wei Zhang’s Jinyi guard, and the strangest thing was that the first one was actually the fourteenth king Zhu Mixiao.

Zhu Minda sneered in his heart, Lao Qi hid and didn’t show up, he didn’t want to attract this silly hat to join in the fun.

The Fourteenth Highness Zhu Mixiao is the son of the current imperial concubine. Although he is young, his arrogance is high. Relying on the death of the first empress, his biological mother is the head of the harem, and he regards himself as half a direct prince. , unfortunately it is too small.

Zhu Mixiao saw the two emperor brothers, and Zhu Minda asked lightly, “What are you doing here?”

Zhu Mixiao raised his eyebrows, “The emperor brother’s question is very inhumane, the emperor brother heard that the Thirteenth Emperor Brother is in trouble, and Tete Kuiye came to rescue him.” As he said that, he looked at Zhu Nanxian, as if he was relieved and greatly relieved, “Fortunately, the thirteenth emperor won’t die, so the emperor can go back and sleep peacefully. It’s a pity, the emperor’s brother is asleep, and there are people in this palace who won’t be able to sleep all night.” During the

speech, Yufeng pointed directly at the seven kings.

Zhu Nanxian annoyed him since he was a child, and felt that talking to him was a waste of saliva, so he ignored it.

Zhu Minda said: “You came to rescue Thirteen, so you came here with your

bare hands?” Zhu Mixiao said apologetically, “What the eldest brother has taught me is that it is inappropriate to do it with bare hands, but the emperor has no one under his command.” He said, ” “Tsk tsk” twice, his eyes swept from Liu Chaoming, to Wei Zhang, and then to Shen Xi, “Besides, what do you want me to do here? Duchayuan, Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Household, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household. The most powerful yamen in the court is in the hands of the imperial brother, it is really daunting.”

Zhu Minda heard this, and his heart froze.

Yes, how did Jin Yiwei come from?

With this thought in mind, his eyes swept to Wei Zhang. In the depths of the long street, Wei Zhang was dressed in a flying fish suit and stood with his hands behind his back. His face as cut as a knife showed no expression at all, and he was indifferent and taciturn.

Such a person should never give orders to anyone.

Because of this, the emperor ordered him to be the commander of Jinyiwei.

But why did he rush here tonight and fight against the Dongcheng soldiers and horses who are blocking the road together with Yu Linwei?

Not to mention whether Jin Yiwei came to help him, even if he was, what would he think when his father found out? Do you feel that you are too powerful, and you have encroached on his throne before he succeeded to the throne?

The more Zhu Minda thought about it, the more frightened he became. He and the Seven Kings had already won the battle, but when Jin Yiwei came, he completely crushed the scale that had been tilted to his side.

Zhu Minda thought about this, and regardless of Zhu Mixiao’s mocking expression, he immediately said to Wei Zhang, “Dare to ask Mr. Wei, where did you get the news so that you can get here in time?

” Said: “Go back to His Royal Highness, the Zhenfu Division is investigating Shizi’s troubles. I am afraid that something will go wrong. They have set up dark lines all over Yingtian City. Tonight, there is a change here, and the end will come.”

Although this is reasonable, but after all What a coincidence.

Zhu Minda wanted to think about it, but he had no clue. After thinking about the matter tonight, he decided to start the investigation from the beginning. He asked Wu Yuzheng, the commander of Yu Linwei, and said, “Have you searched the Mafu? What is there? Suspicious.”

Wu Yuzheng cupped his hands and said, “Yes.” Immediately raising his hand, Yu Linwei behind him brought out the three.

Su Jin looked up and was shocked.

The three were Sister Yuan’er, Ma’am, and the old servant she had met in the backyard of the Ma Mansion.

Wu Yuzheng said: “Go back to Your Highness, your subordinates have found these three people in the backyard of the Ma residence as ordered by His Highness. They all claimed to have seen the maidservant who was taken away by His Highness the Thirteenth.

” Su Jin: “Then the three of you will go and recognize it. The maid who was taken away by His Highness the Thirteenth before, is this person?

”

Mammy and the steward saw Su Jin’s face clearly through Yu Linwei’s torch, and bowed down to Zhu Minda again with sincerity and fear.
