In the end, with Zhu Gui's half-threat and half-encouragement approach, Feng Zhengwu agreed to the decision, and then left the Prince Dai's Mansion with Feng Shaoqiang with a depressed look on his face.
He didn't know how many people's attention his move attracted.
You must know that before Feng Zhengwu and his son, no one could leave the Daiwang Mansion "completely", and this place was also called a place comparable to the underworld.
Zhu Gui never thought about the subsequent impact this incident would have.
After handling this matter, he first had another breakfast with Xu Miaoqing, and then took his bodyguard to the Yandao Yamen.
He came here to check the salt sales situation in Nanjing City and whether he could take the matter of providing refined salt into his hands.
But halfway, he was stopped by a group of people.
There is no doubt that the person who stopped Zhu Gui was Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Gui couldn't help but scream "fuck" in his heart.
Only then did he remember this power organ that was so popular in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the rights of the imperial guards during the Hongwu period were only one level lower than that of the emperor and prince, and even ordinary princes had to be courteous to them.
Because they not only have the law enforcement power to bypass the Ministry of Justice, but also have the power to use lynching and behead first and then punish.
The Jinyiwei were only responsible for the emperor's orders. Historically, they were once abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang due to the abuse of lynching, and were later activated by the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.
At this time, although the reputation of Jinyiwei for abusing lynchings had spread, there was still some time before it would be completely abolished.
I didn't expect that Zhu Gui would meet him this time.
Even Zhu Gui felt his scalp go numb when he thought about the overwhelming power of Jin Yiwei at this period in history.
"On behalf of the King, someone has reported that you abused lynching and threatened public safety and the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Please come with us."
A member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu came out, opened a piece of yellow satin, and said in a dignified manner.
Zhu Gui's brows stood up and his eyes became stern: "Indiscriminate lynching? Threaten public safety? Such a big hat, is there any evidence?"
He had already drawn both guns from his waist. He would never leave with the Jin Yiwei under any circumstances. Once he entered their territory, anything could happen.
The Jin Yiwei Qianhu seemed to have expected Zhu Gui's words, and said without any surprise: "The Jin Yiwei was ordered by the emperor to eradicate all threats to the imperial court. As for the evidence, if there is any, take it."
The four imperial guards behind him rushed out immediately.
"Do it, leave no one alive."
This is what Zhu Gui said.
He himself also drew his guns and shot at the Qianhu.
Jin Yiwei seemed to have anticipated Zhu Gui's firearm. While trying to block it with his long knife, he also took a zigzag route, trying to avoid the bullet with his body skills.
However, the distance between the two sides was within ten steps. Although Zhu Gui's marksmanship was not as good as Xu Miaoqing's, it was still accurate.
"Bang bang bang bang" fired four shots.
But the result surprised him.
The bullets that hit Qianhu were actually embedded in his armor.
The results of the flintlock rifles of the two soldiers were better than those on his side.
The two Jinyi guards were already lying on the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground.
It seems that the power of the rifle is enough to deal with the armor of these Jinyi guards.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui also exchanged two flintlock guns, held the gun with one hand, and continued to shoot.
Although the five Jinyi guards had strong skills, they were completely suppressed by Zhu Gui's firepower.
Within a few moments, the five people died on the spot.
But Zhu Gui's face was also very ugly.
"The body has been disposed of. It seems we can't go to the Yandao Yamen."
Zhu Gui personally came to the street corner to watch the wind.
Fortunately, Jin Yiwei usually handles cases in dark places, so Zhu Gui was given a chance.
After burning incense, the two soldiers were finally done.
Apart from the lingering smell of blood, there were no traces of a fight at the scene.
Zhu Gui returned to the palace with his personal guards.
Along the way, he was thinking about who made the complaint to Jin Yiwei.
Could it be Feng Zhengwu and his son?
It is possible, but it is unlikely. They are just the lowest level businessmen in Nanjing. They can be grateful to survive in Zhu Gui's hands. How dare they sue a prince?
Zhu Gui recalled what Jin Yiwei Qianhu said, in which he mentioned that he had 'violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty'.
To be honest, Zhu Gui violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty too many times.
But before he became a vassal, the things he committed were because of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude in the court, so Jin Yiwei would not pursue them at all.
Then there are only those things he did after he became a vassal, except selling salt, dealing with taxes, and trading salt and iron with the Mongols.
It seems that if he was investigated, he would be beheaded ten or eight times.
But either he had already submitted a memorial to ask for instructions on these things, or he had been suppressed by Prince Zhu Biao, or he had done them very secretly. How did Jin Yiwei know?
"Why are you back? Why do you smell of blood?"
Just when Zhu Gui was a little distracted, Xu Miaoqing came to him with a teacup and immediately discovered the problem.
Xu Miaoqing is not one of those women who always stays in the boudoir.
She had gone to the battlefield with Zhu Gui and killed people, so she was very sensitive to the smell of blood.
Zhu Gui had no choice but to confess that he met Jin Yiwei on the road.
Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoqing's attitude towards Jin Yiwei was even more serious than him.
"You killed Jin Yiwei? This is tantamount to going against the emperor. Now we are in trouble. Let's go to my father and let him think about what to do."
Xu Miaoqing walked around the room anxiously, and a silk scarf and handkerchief were almost torn.
"Sit down first. I have handled this matter very secretly and no one will know about it. You can't tell your father, otherwise he will be in danger."
Zhu Gui knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well. The famous ministers and generals who died in his hands were enough to play football.
"Then what should we do now? Since Jin Yiwei has taken action against you, it means that your matter has been registered at the Jin Yiwei headquarters. If they find something wrong, someone will take action."
Xu Miaoqing said with a worried look.
This is exactly what Zhu Gui is worried about.
"The only solution for now is to leave Nanjing."
Zhu Gui thought about it again and again and finally said.
"Leave? But what about the birthdays of the prince and the emperor? The other princes will come." Xu Miaoqing was stunned and asked.
"The emperor may be angry if he leaves Nanjing, but he will not hold me accountable for it. If he stays in Nanjing, his life will always be in danger."
Zhu Guidao.
"You are right, this is the only way to do it. As long as we return to Datong Mansion, even the Jin Yiwei will not be able to question the feudal king in the fiefdom."
Xu Miaoqing also calmed down. At the critical moment, she showed amazing decisiveness.
The two looked at each other and nodded, and immediately began to order people to pack their things.
Their plan was to leave Nanjing that night before the city gates closed, and no one could be informed before that.
