Chapter 86: Empress Ma turns into a female Zhuge, Zhu Yuanzhang becomes enlightened and Lord Ye suffers disaster(1/2)
At this time, Wu Yong had already undergone a change in mentality.
Just because these people have changed from being suspected of being spies of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, to possibly being spies of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or being imperial envoys of the imperial court, and now they are classified as imperial envoys of the imperial court.
Then after Wu Yong heard their conversation, he would naturally analyze it in the direction of the imperial envoy.
Just when Wu Yong climbed up the herringbone ladder, with his head only half a foot away from the high and narrow air vent window, Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang also finished washing and returned to the cell.
"Go to bed early and good things will happen tomorrow morning!"
The jailer who had been in charge of guarding them, disguised as an agent, re-locked the door and left with these words.
But his words made Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them fall into deep thought again.
At this moment, when the full moon is in the sky,
The bright white moonlight passed through the tall and narrow square vent window, spreading and shining on Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
And Mao Xiang, whose bed was against the wall opposite them, became a lonely "spectator" again.
It's just that he, the audience, is a little scared now, fearing that their upcoming drama will affect his appetite for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Originally, we should discuss things after discussing them. Is it necessary for an old couple to be so inseparable?
Mao Xiang used to be very happy that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not treat him as an outsider, but now he does not think so. Sometimes it is better to be an outsider!
Just when Mao Xiang was thinking about this, Queen Ma turned over and rode on Zhu Yuanzhang's back.
"Sister, what does he mean by good things?"
Empress Ma helped Zhu Yuanzhang loosen his shoulders and said with a smile: "I think, most likely, they thought we were not Bei Yuan spies and decided to let us go."
Outside the wind vent window,
Wu Yong, who was riding on the ladder, was so shocked that he almost fell off.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and coupled with the super strong finger strength he had developed in the club, he was able to seal the gap between the stones in the wall.
"This woman, female Zhuge!"
"With such women, can Mr. Ye really play with them and let them be used for his own purposes?"
"Does his hard-to-get trick really work?"
"Is it really possible to offend them to death tomorrow?"
"."
Thinking of this, Wu Yong pushed his head up a little further. After a few centimeters, his head would be able to reach the bottom of the air vent window.
At this moment, Wu Yong could be said to be very energetic. He wanted to listen to every word they said as clearly as possible.
Wu Yong would not have doubted what Ye Qing said.
But when he heard this woman tell the truth about the 'good thing' in just one sentence, he had to doubt it.
What if they, Mr. Ye, are like him and underestimate this woman?
In fact, they have never underestimated this woman and always thought that she was a talented woman with outstanding performance.
But looking at it now, she is more than just a talented woman.
Just when Wu Yong was concentrating on eavesdropping, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was heard immediately.
Under the bright white moonlight, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying below, turned his head away and asked seriously: "Sister, why do you see me?"
Queen Ma just smiled faintly and immediately expressed her opinion.
Ye Qing would secretly observe her performance in the labor camp. They had analyzed it before, so there is no need to say more.
After finishing the labor camp today, Zhu Yuanzhang told her what happened to him and Mao Xiang. He was doing well in mining, but suddenly he was asked to go to the arsenal to do internal transfers.
Where is the arsenal?
The imperial court has set the arsenal as a top-secret place, let alone an arsenal built in a key border area?
Would such a top-secret place allow reform-through-labor prisoners to enter?
Not only let them in, but also let them do internal transportation where they can wander around and visit?
There is only one answer, and that is Ye Qing's instruction, intending to use their reactions to see if they are Bei Yuan spies.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, not only was he not a spy from Bei Yuan, but he could also be said to be a passionate middle-aged man who cared about his family and country.
Judging from the performances of Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang, even a fool knows that they are not spies from Beiyuan.
Even if they were suspected to be relatives of the emperor, they would not be suspected to be Bei Yuan spies. Since they were not Bei Yuan spies, they were naturally acquitted!
Listening to Queen Ma's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately figured it out.
Zhu Yuanzhang was never stupid, but he was not as careful as Queen Ma. Many times, as long as Queen Ma was a little bit more careful, he also had the ability to draw inferences from one example.
"good!"
"if only."
Mao Xiang, who was opposite them, heard this and immediately prepared to get angry.
He was a man who had put others in jail for a long time, yet he was caught and put into a cell here and had to do hard labor for so many days.
If this revenge is not avenged, he does not want to go back and continue to do it to the commander-in-chief of the Duwei Mansion. It is really embarrassing and he has no shame to continue to do it!
But before he could get angry, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave him a look that told him to shut up.
Not only that, but he also tapped the direction of the draft window three times with his eyes, warning him to be careful because the partition wall had ears.
Mao Xiang just bowed his hands, then closed his mouth and looked straight at the wind window.
In addition to realizing that walls may have ears, another reason is that they don't want to look at the couple who founded the Ming Dynasty in front of them.
There was such a tacit understanding, implying that he had the same look in his eyes, the same amount of time to pick the corners of his eyes, and he even picked them three times.
Just this small gesture is enough to show that their tacit understanding has reached the point where you are in me and I am in you.
Not only that, after they realized their tacit understanding, they looked at each other affectionately.
Uncomfortable!
Mao Xiang, who could only watch this scene with the cold wall as his companion, felt really uncomfortable!
At this moment, Empress Ma whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Chongba, you only did half of what you promised me!"
"I asked you to hold back no matter how angry you are, and wait until we meet when we come back to talk about everything. You only did it before we met when you came back, but you failed to hold back no matter how angry you were."
"You told that old Liu that you were some kind of criminal who was assigned to prison, and you also scolded Ye Qing for being treasonous. It is very likely that Ye Qing will see it."
"Because of this, although he no longer suspects that we are Beiyuan spies, he may also suspect that we are imperial envoys!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "We"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, Empress Ma smiled and waved her hand, indicating that he should calm down and listen to her.
Empress Ma continued to echo: "So, as long as we are released tomorrow, it will be enough to prove that he suspects that we are imperial envoys. As long as we show any eagerness to leave the city, he will confirm our identity as imperial envoys!"
"According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", a border town magistrate who can be executed ten times will treat an imperial envoy?"
"Even if he doesn't do anything inappropriate, what about his subordinates who are loyal to him?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and his mistake.
Empress Ma saw deep self-blame in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. She just continued to whisper softly: "I still insist on my opinion, because based on what I saw and heard, and what your Majesty said when he came back,
Look, he has no objection at all."
"He is doing things that benefit the country and the people in a way that is not recognized by the world!"
"Besides, he is indeed a rare all-rounder!"
"I can guarantee that he has absolutely no objection at least now!"
"But if you force him and chill his heart, I won't be able to guarantee it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Ma retreated and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a standard courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
At the same time, Queen Ma's eyes were full of prayer!
Zhu Yuanzhang could also see that her sister still wanted to protect Ye Qing, and even did not hesitate to perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
Zhu Yuanzhang helped Queen Ma up, and then began to think.
At this moment, the words Lao Liu said to him appeared in his mind again.
yes!
He used the money he earned to engage in the loss-making business of an arsenal, and he never made a private set of armor for himself.
At the same time, the "Almshouse" for veterans and the "Huimin Hospital" next to the Almshouse also appeared in his mind again.
He also made up his mind to build a "Leoze Garden" that would be better than the Almshouse!
In a certain sense, it was Ye Qing who influenced Zhu Yuanzhang.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang once again showed a look of relief, and then turned around and asked Queen Ma: "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Empress Ma held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly, her eyes filled with happiness and gratitude.
