General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31
Not for the purpose of seizing the heir.

Whether it was Zhang Zuo or Zhu Zaishun, when they heard these words, their complexions gradually turned ugly.

Panting heavily, Meng Chong looked at the three people in front of him, as if he had made up his mind.

"Zhang Zuo, Lu Bing, if our family dares to speak, do you dare to listen?"

Hearing this, Lu Bing glanced at Tiwei on the left and right.

The Jin Yiwei outside the cell also retreated out of the cell wisely.

Then Zhang Zuo stared at Meng Chong and said, "Meng Chong, you can speak now."

"Because the afterlife is suspicious."

As soon as this word comes out.

There was a dead silence in the cell.

Lu Bing gritted his teeth and stared at Meng Chong.

"Who told you this?"

"Who else could it be? Anping Hou, Lord Hou came to our house to do something, and always wanted to talk about the ins and outs of things..."

Before Meng Chong finished speaking, Lu Bing's face darkened.

"Fart! Do you think you are a fool at all!"

Even if Fang Chengyu really lost his head and wanted to find Meng Chong to assassinate Zhu Zaiyu, how could he explain the ins and outs in such detail.

Hearing what Lu Bing said, Meng Chong didn't bother to talk nonsense with Lu Bing anymore.

He pouted his mouth towards the skylight of the imperial prison, cracked the corner of his bloody mouth and smiled.

"Governor, take a look at that window, how many words can you miss?"

"Don't you want to ask what someone told our family just now?"

"Our family can tell you, just three words."

"Tell me the truth."

provocative!

Meng Chong no longer planned to leave the prison alive.

It's just breaking the can.

Lu Bing's face was originally reddish-brown, but now it was faintly blue.

"If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

Lu Bing couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards Meng Chong with his whip in his hand.

Zhang Zuo ordered to Ti Wei outside the prison: "What are you doing in a daze, thieves have entered the prison, are you still here to watch the fun? Go out and search for our house!"

It takes less than a stick of incense.

Then a Ti Wei found a folded piece of rice paper from under the roof tiles.

"Factory Superintendent, I found this from above."

Looking at the note in his hand, Zhang Zuo's face gradually turned ugly.

Ironclad evidence.

Meng Chong did not lie.

Not long after Meng Chong confessed, the man in black who had assassinated Ning Jue also spoke in the prison.

As for the confession, it was naturally similar to Meng Chong's. It was all blamed on Marquis Anping and had nothing to do with Tao Zhongwen or anyone else.

Looking at the confession in front of him, Zhu Zaishun finally opened his mouth.

"Eunuch Zhang, should we go get the Marquis of Anping?"

This time, neither Lu Bing nor Zhang Zuo directly answered Zhu Zaishun's question.

Zhang Zuo fell to his knees directly on the ground.

"Prince, the imperial edict is gloomy, and please return to the palace first, and make a decision after the minister asks your father for instructions."

Zhu Zaiyu looked at Zhang Zuo and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

After all, Empress Fang passed away only last year, and it has been exactly a whole year now.

It's just that Empress Fang is not Jiajing's first spouse, and she is not considered Zhu Zaiyong's real aunt, so Zhu Zaiyong's impression of Empress Fang is not particularly deep, but he has heard a lot of rumors in the past year.

Among them, the only rumor that impressed Zhu Zaiyu deeply was that Queen Fang was sent to be burned to death by his father himself.

There were even rumors in the palace that Jiajing was sitting on a turret not far from Kunning Palace on the day when he walked into the water, and even stopped the palace guards who put out the fire, and just watched Queen Fang burn to death in the palace confinement.

Knowing the deep meaning of this, Zhu Zaiyu didn't say anything, but left the imperial prison directly.

It's just that Zhu Zaiyu didn't go back to the palace, but went to Ning Jue directly after changing clothes in the carriage.

The case started because of Ning Jue, and everything has completely exceeded Zhu Zaishun's expectations.

Somehow, Zhu Zaiyu had a feeling that the only person he could trust in this case was Ning Jue.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zaiyi insisted on asking Meng Chong whether he had told others that he had been out of the palace.

The current situation.

The closer she is to Ning Jue, the more dangerous Ning Jue will be.

Those who hide behind the scenes are more likely to take risks.

For Ning Jue's safety, Zhu Zaiyong could only hide it from Ning Jue first and everyone in the world at the same time. Fortunately, he lived in seclusion and had some court meetings during the Spring Festival. Although Zhu Zaiyong could often see some officials from a distance, except Few of the important officials in the court knew what they really looked like.

Zhu Zaiyu on the carriage changed his clothes, and when he arrived near Ning Jue's house, he ordered someone to wait outside the alley, while he walked towards Ning Jue's house alone.

It was already the last moment of Shenshi, and the capital was getting dark very quickly in winter.

When leaving Fusi in Beizhen, a sliver of the setting sun could still illuminate the capital through the thick clouds, but when Zhu Zaishun arrived at the door of Ning Jue's house, the sky had already completely darkened.

When Zhu Zaiyu walked to the door of Ning Jue's house, he happened to see the dejected Ning Jue coming out of the house.

"Mr. Ning."

Zhu Zaiyu performed the master's ceremony to Ning Jue skillfully.

But Ning Jue still looked listless, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Zaixun.

"Oh, it's you."

Zhu Zaiyu looked at Ning Jue, always feeling that something was wrong with Ning Jue.

"Mr. Ning, are you...?"

Ning Jue shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Jin Yiwei is full of scumbags!"

"The big case that splashed the sky has made everyone in the capital know about it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zaiyu was even more puzzled.

"But Mr. Ning, won't you be safe in this way?"

Ning Jue wanted to scold immediately.

Who tm wants to be safe!
Toss so much, isn't it just so that someone can come and stab me!
But thinking of the restrictions of the rules, Ning Jue could only swallow his words, and then sighed righteously.

"What is the safety and security of one person?!"

"Leak the news and startle the thief, that is the biggest disaster!"

"With my own life, in exchange for the truth of this case being revealed, why would Ning be willing to do so!"

If Ning Jue knew it was because of what he said.

The words that caused his status in the prince's heart to soar several levels.

Ning Jue was afraid that he would directly slap himself a few times.

Make you stupid!

"Mr. Ning is really righteous!" Zhu Zaiyu almost couldn't close the corners of his mouth in excitement: "Mr., I am honored by the students!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zaiyan bowed solemnly to Ning Jue.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that even if this case is not solved and becomes an unsolved case, Ning Jue must be kept.

After Zhu Zaiyan finished worshiping, he looked at Ning Jue suspiciously and asked, "Where is Mr. Ning going?"

As soon as the words fell, Ning Jue couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of all officials. I also need to do business, to get close to the people's livelihood, and to accumulate some materials for future business affairs."

Hearing this, Zhu Zaishun's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.

"Sir, are you serious?"

Zhu Zaiyu looked at Ning Jue excitedly, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked a little shyly, "Then, can the student go with you?"

Zhu Zaixun was already a little curious about how these officials would handle their errands.

Not to mention a virtuous minister like Ning Jue.
