Chapter 28: It is only natural for the son to lead the horse!
Everyone in Xuzhuang felt cold in their hearts.
Xu Jinda secretly thought something bad.
Could it be that the injury on Zhu Jun's hand was caused by the conflict just now?
If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be kind today.
"You won't say it, right?"
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely disappointed when he learned that Zhu Jun dug up the ancestral graves of the Xu family and almost killed him.
Then during the investigation, more and more clues emerged, and he felt angry again.
Dare to do something to his son, even if he is crazy and looked down upon by others, he is still one of his legitimate sons!
But now, it's a good thing, they actually used the knife in front of him.
Do you dare to put the knife to his neck next time?
"Mr. Yang!"
"I'm here!"
"Find out who did it!"
"Yes!" Yang Xian held his hands and scanned the crowd with his hawk-like eyes.
Xu Jinda's heart sank. This incident happened in Xuzhuang. How could he identify himself?
Seeing that the matter was getting serious, Zhu Jun quickly said: "Father, it was accidentally cut by my son. It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's true, I swear!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the tiny cuts on Zhu Jun's neck, "Did you accidentally cut your neck too?"
The corner of Zhu Jun's mouth twitched, "It was also scratched when my son went to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xu family. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please take a closer look!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly. Although Zhu Jun was not a talented person, he still had merits. For example, he was honest to his friends. Although he was brave and foolhardy, he was more loyal.
Although he likes to fight cocks and walk dogs, he has never done anything to harm people.
The most important thing is that he can't lie. With his stupid brain, he can't get away with telling a lie.
I've made mistakes since I was a child, even if I pinched my neck or stuck my butt out and got spanked, I wouldn't cry out in pain.
He has a very tough temper, so let him do that!
Seeing Zhu Jun's eyes dodge, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he must be lying, but until the truth came out, he always felt that he owed the Xu family.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "In that case, forget it, come back to the palace with us and let the imperial doctor bandage it!"
Zhu Jun quickly said: "Father, my skin is thick, and any small injury is like scratching an itch!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, "What are you trying to do? Go back to the palace!"
Zhu Jun shrank his neck. His predecessor was still in awe of Lao Zhu, but Zhu Jun knew better that the founding emperor like Lao Zhu liked people with ambition and backbone the most.
"Tiande, let's leave first. Until this matter is clarified, the tomb relocation will be postponed for a while."
"Wei Chen understands!" Xu Jinda cupped his hands with a bitter mouth.
"Fourth brother, you also need some snacks!"
"I understand!" Zhu Di nodded.
"Go back to the palace!" Seeing that Zhu Jun was still stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped Zhu Jun on the head, "Why are you so stunned? Do you still want me to invite you?"
Zhu Jun quickly ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's horse and took the reins, "Father, please slow down!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and couldn't help but laugh, "You've made some progress, you actually know how to hold the rope for us!"
Zhu Jun must now curry favor with Lao Zhu and slowly change his impression in Lao Zhu's heart. As long as he arouses the father-son affection in Lao Zhu's heart, his life will be saved.
Thinking of this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's only natural for my son to lead my horse!"
Zhu Yuanzhang got on his horse and said with a big laugh: "What a perfectly justified sentence, we like to hear it!"
Soon, Zhu Jun led the horse and left.
Zhu Di and others respectfully said from behind: "Best farewell to Father (Your Majesty)!"
After everyone had gone away, Xu Jinda walked up to Zhu Di and said, "This matter is neither big nor small.
Your Majesty is most concerned about the prince's safety. If the truth cannot be found out, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, this matter will be taken care of by my son-in-law." Zhu Di arched his hands, looked at Xu Tianshou again, and left immediately.
Xu Tianshou gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Xu Jinda had a headache at this time and was too lazy to care about Xu Tianshou. He glanced at the others and asked, "Where did King Wu get the injuries on his hands and neck?
Was it one of our people who was injured?"
Everyone kept shaking their heads, and Xu Tieniu stepped forward and told what happened.
Xu Jinda frowned when he heard this, "This lunatic was so crazy that he cut himself, but you said he just entered the tomb?"
"Yes, my subordinates also went into the tomb to have a look. Everything in the tomb is intact and there is no loss!" Xu Tieniu said.
"Strange, what did he do in the tomb?" Xu Jinda didn't understand, and a possibility flashed in his mind, "Did he hide something in it? Or did someone encourage him to come?"
He simply didn't believe that Madman Zhu would really repent.
"Dad, don't worry too much. Since my brother-in-law has come forward, he will definitely clear our family of suspicion." Seeing Xu Jinda's sad face, Xu Miaojin advised.
Xu Jinda laughed dryly, "I'm afraid this matter won't come to light so easily. Trouble is coming!"
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Di's back, thoughtfully.
...
Zhu Di returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xu Tianshou kept admonishing, "Brother-in-law, what have we done so much for? Isn't it now a waste of martial arts?"
Zhu Di clutched the jade pendant in his arms, and his heart, which was originally as strong as iron, softened a little at this time.
When he saw Zhu Jun crying and saying he wanted his eldest brother, he couldn't make a move at all.
"Just one madman is not enough to affect the overall situation." Zhu Di took a deep breath, "If I am afraid of even a madman, then why bother fighting?
Or do you want me to be a loner?"
"Amitabha!"
At this moment, the black-clothed monk came out and said, "Your Highness, you are still soft-hearted."
Zhu Di said: "It's not that he is soft-hearted, it's because the incident happened suddenly. According to the original plan, the madman should have died long ago. If he died, everything could be carried out according to the plan.
But now I am very passive!"
He looked at Xu Tianshou fiercely, "It's you who didn't do this well.
You have to think clearly, the more shots you take, the more clues you leave behind.
At that time, it will not only harm your family, but also this king.
My father is the smartest man in the world."
Xu Tianshou was speechless.
Indeed, he did not do this well. If Madman Zhu had died, he would not have been so passive.
Thinking of this, he said coldly: "I will make up for my mistakes!"
"No!" Zhu Di said with a dark face, "Don't worry about him anymore, he won't be my trouble!"
"Being soft-hearted is as harmful as being addicted to women!" said the monk in black.
"Great monk, that is my biological brother!" Zhu Di glared at him.
The monk in black said calmly: "But isn't what your Highness wants to rob also belong to your brother?"
Zhu Di was silent and said harshly: "That's different. Competition is competition, not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Lao Liu has never done anything sorry for me.
On the contrary, I owe him...a lot!
From now on, don't put your ideas on his head.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Xu Tianshou glanced helplessly at the monk in black.
