"What's going on? Did Zhang Ren say that?" Zhu Su also temporarily put aside the joy of being reunited with his two brothers and asked solemnly.
"These are the nonsense words Zhang Ren's traitor made when he was fleeing." Ru Taisu explained angrily. "Is it because of these words that I vowed to capture him alive and ask for questions."
"At that time, because those soldiers were useless, the thief was able to break out of the siege."
"Before leaving, the thief turned around and said harsh words to me, saying that when he turned around to lead the army to attack the city, he would kill the entire city of Suzhou!"
"Lead the army..." Zhu Su frowned deeply. "A bunch of homeless dogs, where did the army come from?"
"What, are you asking for a war?" King Yan Zhu Di looked eager to give it a try. "Speaking of Lao Wu, what big thing did we do tomorrow night? I'm sorry to tell him and my second brother?"
"Why is Prince Yan Dong so bellicose?" Ru Lao's spray suddenly became angry again, and aimed the nozzle at Zhu Di: "You must know that if the war breaks out, the people will be devastated!"
"If the enemy is clear and the enemy is hidden, if the thief really hides a large army, they will lose the opportunity without knowing their whereabouts!"
"As a prince, he left the capital without authorization, and for his own convenience, he coerced the soldiers to open the door late at night. He used the power of the Tian family to commit such crimes and ruined the peace and invasion..."
"I must ask Your Majesty to severely impeach the two palace masters!"
"Lao Rutou, it's over, it's over..." Seeing that Zhu Di and Zhu Chong's faces were not good-looking, Zhu Su stepped forward to smooth things over. "Second brother and fourth brother, no doubt they also happened to meet Zhang Ren and gave Zhang Ren to him.
Kill him?"
"Beheading the leader of the thief, isn't that a great achievement? At least he didn't let the guy hide anymore."
"Just say no, just say no." Zhu Pingda nodded.
"Then? The leader of the thieves is obviously not a turtle in the jar..." Ru Taisu hesitated and laughed angrily. "Not to mention that he let a few ordinary thieves go because of it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Su directly changed the topic: "Okay, Lao Rutou. I have made great contributions to this battle. No one who forgets will forget me."
"Then, do I think that the 'big army' mentioned by the remnants of the Zhang family is in the hands of Zhang Shicheng's other missing son, Zhang Li?"
"Is that so?" Ru Taisu's attention was diverted as expected. "That's why I wanted to capture the thief Zhang Ren alive and ask him about the so-called army and the whereabouts of his brother Zhang Li."
Zhu Su nodded. Ru Taisu's judgment was correct. A living Zhang Ren is indeed much more useful than a dead Zhang Renqiu. The Zhang brothers will kill one of them, but they will not die after all. The rest of Zhang Shicheng's remnants can also be supported.
The other one. Only by killing these two people can we truly eradicate the problem.
It is time to try every means to capture Zhang Ren alive in order to ask him about Zhang Li's whereabouts.
Not to mention, there is such a "big army".
"Ru Yushi, there is no need to be angry." Zhu Di said from the front. "Although I don't know what happened specifically, I wonder if he and his second brother unintentionally ruined the big thing we planned with Lao Wu Mingye.
.”
"Didn't he escape to the outside of the city alive? I, the king, and my second brother will shoulder this responsibility. We will surely capture and torture those thieves who escaped from the city."
Seeing that King Yan was daring to take action, Ru Taisu's face improved a little. But Zhu Su smiled and said: "Fourth brother, there is no need to abolish that Zhou Zhang."
"If there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west. Zhang Ren ran away there, but he caught the leader of a thief there."
With a move, someone tied up Chen Hui and escorted her there. Ru Taisu and others looked at it and were a little unbelievable. Zhu Xi said carelessly: "Why don't you reject a female?"
"Can a woman also be the leader of a thief?"
"Second brother, don't look down on her. That girl has quite a lot of background." Zhu Su laughed, like a weasel who stole a chicken: "Her name is Chen Hui, is she Chen Youliang's biological daughter?"
"Yo ho?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, Zhu Xi's eyes changed immediately, and he looked at Chen Hui in Dongcuo: "How can Chen Jiu Si be so virtuous, that he can give birth to such a beautiful girl?"
Zhu Su was embarrassed for a while. Why did his second brother look like an old client in a prostitute?
"Bah! The false king Zhu Ming dares to insult his father!" Chen Hui, who had turned away and said nothing, turned his head and spat directly at Zhu Ping. Zhu Ping was furious and begged for a slap in front of him.
She slapped him, and Zhu Su quickly stopped Dong Lai: "Second brother, calm down, calm down."
"Kill that woman again, and Lao Rutou will really beg me to fight to the death!"
Feeling the "impeachment" warning look from Ru Taisu behind him, Zhu Su couldn't bear it anymore. Zhu Su waved his leg and asked someone to gag Chen Hui's mouth. Zhu Xi stared at her back and said bitterly
: "Lao Wu, leave the matter of interrogating this woman to my second brother."
"How dare you insult him like this? He must avenge you by spitting!"
"Second brother, why are you angry with Jiedong prisoner?" Zhu Su comforted him, but murmured in his heart. It seems that Chen Hui is not easy to get along with. Zhang Ren refused to be her mistress, and saw Zhang Ren's head thrown to the ground.
Now, there wasn't even sadness in her eyes.
After hearing what her group had just said, she must have guessed what kind of torture Jie Donglai would endure, but her face remained as calm as before.
Her thoughts must be extremely sinister and deep. Can such a woman pull out useful information from her mouth... Zhu Su felt something was wrong...
After the group of people gathered together, they went to the government office together. Firstly, they sent the captured Chen Hui and a group of dead men to the dungeon for detention, and secondly, they allowed Wei Guan and other Suzhou officials to dispatch officers to the government office and make announcements to calm the people.
Sanbu Zhu Su and Zhu Xi and Zhu Di have reunited after a long separation. Naturally, they need to find a place to rest first and have a good talk to shut up.
"Why are the second and fourth brothers there? Where is the third brother?" In the quiet room of the government office, Zhu Su poured a cup of tea for Zhu Chong and Zhu Di and asked with a smile.
"As I said just now, he and the fourth child thought that I was all alone in Suzhou and came here to keep me company." Zhu Xi smiled a little far-fetched. "As for the third child..."
"In those few months, he was in a daze in the palace. Even if he left the palace, he would probably slip away to the imperial palace at the east foot of Bifeng Mountain. How could he come to Suzhou Mansion with them?" Zhu Di curled his lips.
.
Zhu Su was stunned and asked him what happened during the confinement period when he left Beijing.
It turned out that after he left the capital, Lao Zhu was worried that a guilty minister would be unable to plead for mercy in the prince's palace, so he coaxed the young prince who was still unaware of the incident outside the palace to stand up for him, and unnecessarily involved his sons in the Imperial Guard incident.
In the whirlpool of "Beijing Cha", Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di were all summoned into the palace.
The three of them had finally regained their freedom in the imperial palace, so how could they bear to suddenly have to live the same kind of life in the palace without red or black? After a few months, the three brothers started to complain, one of which was...
Why is the third child Zhu Fan?
When Zhu Su left, Zhu Fan had mastered some physical and chemical knowledge and showed great interest in it. Unlike his elder brothers, Zhu Su did not hide the knowledge from later generations, and those knowledge must not be given to others.
The sketches that others saw were not completely open to Zhu Fan. At that time, he dived directly into a pile of sketches and drawings that he had written.
Even when he was recuperating, Zhu Fan would "unreasonably" pull himself up from the bed and ask questions. He would personally go to glass kilns, cement kilns, hydraulic mills and other places to inspect and verify with reference to the drawings, often as soon as he left.
Just one day.
"After I left, he plunged into the steel-making kiln in the back mountain that had made little progress. He insisted on freeing up the so-called steel-making furnace. When his father sent someone to drag him back to the palace, he refused to leave.
Here." Zhu Di said.
The third brother actually wanted to mess with the steel furnace! One thing is that the steel furnace failed many times and the temperature was always not up to standard. Zhu Su himself almost gave up. After all, he only knew so much about steelmaking, and he had already told the batch of people at the Ministry of Industry
artisan.
After all, steelmaking is not as heavy as glass and soap. It is not as urgent as cement, which has a wider range of uses. It is not something that can be done overnight, and I have no other quick way to do it.
Zhu Su felt a little funny when he thought that the third brother, who had always been neatly dressed, was working in a steel-making kiln where all the shirtless men were absent. Even Keke himself was shirtless.
"Speaking of fourth brother, I said the secret was revealed. We must have gone crazy in the palace, so we sneaked out, right? How can we miss him?" Zhu Su said with a teasing tone.
