Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 188 Queen Ma beats up Zhu Yuanzhang: You don’t care about daddy?
That face was evil and handsome, exuding a strange charm that was almost demonic. Under the high bridge of his nose, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, making people afraid to look directly. His Yuandingyue-like posture and demeanor are even more unforgettable, and can be engraved in the heart with just one glance.

Suddenly, the man seemed to be staring directly at Mr. Zhu. It felt like watching a horror movie and the person on the screen suddenly turned around and stared directly at you, which was creepy.

Fourth Master Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and stared intently at the night in the back mountain. However, the image of that person just now kept echoing in his mind. That man's face and his eyes were deeply imprinted in his memory. Judging from his appearance, that person was obviously not from the Central Plains.

What is the identity of the original owner? After provoking such a strong person, he died and was stabbed with needles. What was the purpose of the person getting the needle? Vent your anger? Not that much.

"Fourth Master." A soft call came.

Zhao Xuanzhen, who was wearing a long gauze dress, came behind him with a blanket in her hand, draped it over his body, and said softly: "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned, still thinking about it. Zhao Xuanzhen sat down next to him, leaned into his arms, stretched out her jade hand to caress his angular face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I saw the person who stuck the needle in my brain." Master Zhu said.

"What?" Zhao Xuanzhen was shocked.

"That person should be one of your prairie people." A cold light flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes, "I'll draw it right now and see if you recognize him."

Fourth Master Zhu raised his forehead and said, "Do you know him? Does your Jinyiwei database have this person?"

Zhao Xuanzhen looked at the person in the painting, frowning slightly, as if trying to remember, and finally shook her head: "I haven't seen it before! Strange, if there are not many masters like that in Dayuan, I should have seen them before."

Fourth Master Zhu took the painting and hurried to Jinyiwei Yamen. The commander of the Jinyiwei who was drinking tea made Mao Xiang drop the teacup on the table with a bang, making him numb.

Zhao Xuanzhen is the eldest princess of Beiyuan, and that person is so strong. If he is from the grassland, he must not be an unknown person. Maybe Zhao Xuanzhen knows him.

Fourth Master Zhu had an innocent expression on his face: "I and Yang Xian are innocent."

When Mao Xiang saw the person in the painting, he gasped: "Damn it, this person is a master at first sight!"

……

"Then why did you come to see me?" Mao Xiang changed the subject.

Mao Xiang: "!!!"

"It's a small thing. Your Jin Yiwei has files on Beiyuan masters. Help me identify someone." Fourth Master Zhu said and opened the painting in his hand.

Mao Xiang looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head.

"My dear Commander." Fourth Master Zhu came in with a smile.

Why don't you bribe him and bring a carriage and a carriage of money into Yang's house. Others don’t know, but I, Jin Yiwei, don’t know? If I hadn't known that His Majesty was protecting you, I would have arrested him first.

"You don't know yet? Yang Xian was arrested by the Ministry of Justice, and Hu Weiyong is on trial." Mao Xiang spread his hands, "They will definitely deal with you together. You can't hide the things you did with Yang Xian."

During this time, Fourth Master Zhu, the troublemaker, didn't come to Jinyiwei, so Jinyiwei didn't have any big trouble, and he also lived a comfortable life for a few days. But how long has it been? Why is Fourth Master Zhu here again?

So, Fourth Master Zhu returned to the room, picked up his pen and started painting. Soon, a lifelike character painting was completed. He asked Zhao Xuanzhen, "That's him, do you know him?"

"You see clearly, this is a master, how come you Jin Yiwei don't have records?" Fourth Master Zhu glared.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

"Fourth Master, why are you here again?" Mao Xiang said with a bitter smile, "You won't cause any trouble again, will you? The Criminal Department is going to arrest you?"

The next day.

"The Criminal Department arrested me? Why?" Fourth Master Zhu was confused.

"The characteristics of this person are so obvious. If I had seen him, I would definitely remember him." Mao Xiang shook his head, "There is absolutely no such person in the database."

"Master Beiyuan, and the great shaman, don't they look like this?" Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"If you don't believe it, I can show it to you." Mao Xiang shook his head firmly.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned and thought to himself: If even Jin Yiwei has no record of this person, it will be even more difficult to find clues about this person. It seems that we can only find another way. Let the Beggar Clan look for it first, and let Jin Yiwei pay attention.

"This person is my enemy. Please Jin Yiwei help me find him." Fourth Master Zhu put down the painting.

"Jin Yiwei will definitely help with little things." Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

He also told Mr. Zhu that he must be careful recently. Hu Weiyong and his gang would definitely not let him go easily and would use Yang Xian's affairs to make a big fuss.

Fourth Master Zhu nodded slowly, remembering this. He and Yang Xian actually used each other, and he had no worries about Yang Xian being arrested.

...It is already midsummer, the sky is as blue as water, and the scorching sunshine pours down.

The air was filled with scorching hot air waves, and they hit us one after another, making people feel like they were in a huge furnace. Pedestrians passed by in a hurry, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and their clothes were soaked with sweat and clung to their bodies.

Xuanwu Academy.

It was actually cool under the lush trees.

Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao came to visit, and Fourth Master Zhu and Yao Guangxiao were drinking tea and chatting with them. Queen Ma came here to ask about Daming Trading Company's overseas operations, while Zhu Biao came to ask about world geography.

"Mother, the fleet goes out to sea for a trip, which can take at least three or four months or as long as half a year." Fourth Master Zhu explained with a smile, "This voyage is still a short one. If it goes further in the future, it may take more time." long."

"Well, you really can't rush for success." Queen Ma smiled and nodded to express her understanding.

"I'm also looking forward to the knowledge they bring back from all over the world, which will definitely open our eyes." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

While several people were chatting and laughing, there was suddenly the sound of rapid footsteps. Hundreds of police officers from the Criminal Department Yamen rushed over in an aggressive manner and surrounded the few people under the tree. Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were slightly startled. They were traveling incognito and did not bring any bodyguards with them. Apparently, these criminal police officers did not recognize their identities.

"Master Hu is here!" one of the detectives shouted loudly.

Hu Weiyong walked over arrogantly. He was here to arrest Fourth Master Zhu this time. If Fourth Master Zhu resisted and couldn't be caught, it didn't matter. His crime would be confirmed. This time, he was confident of using Yang Xian's affairs to bring down Fourth Master Zhu.

When he walked under the tree and saw the faces of Queen Ma and Zhu Biao clearly, he was frightened out of his wits. He quickly knelt down and paid homage: "I see the Queen and Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The detectives also knelt down when they saw this. Prince Zhu Biao stared at Hu Weiyong coldly and asked coldly: "Master Hu, what are you doing here?"

Hu Weiyong composed himself and replied: "I was ordered to interrogate the guilty minister Yang Xian, and he confessed that Mr. Zhu had bribed him. I am here to take Mr. Zhu back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice for questioning."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Biao's lips, and he said only one word: "Get out!"

Hu Weiyong's heart trembled, but he still braved the bullet and continued: "Your Highness, it is an ironclad fact that Fourth Master Zhu bribed ministers. I follow the law..."

"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Biao interrupted him with a cold voice, "You dare to arrest people just because Yang Xian bites you at will? Then you will also interrogate Yang Xian when you go back. If he confesses to you, Mr. Hu, If there is a problem, I will send someone to get you."

Hu Weiyong was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Yang Xian would frame him to death in order to protect himself. So he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I'm resigning! I'm resigning now!"

……

Half an hour later, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao walked out of the academy and hurriedly boarded the carriage back to the palace. Queen Ma's face was livid, and she was obviously furious: "What on earth is going on? Hu Weiyong dares to be so rude and come to arrest people openly! Is your father so old and confused that he can't even protect his own father?"

Zhu Biao frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Perhaps my father didn't know about it. All of this must have been done by Hu Weiyong to please his mentor Li Shanchang. Huh, Li Shanchang and the fourth master have a grudge, and this time he must take the opportunity to take revenge. .”

Queen Ma's eyes flashed coldly, and she said angrily: "Zhu Chongba, this unfilial son, not only disowned his father, but also watched his father being bullied! I will go find him to settle the score right now!"

Zhu Biao secretly felt worried for his father. The carriage galloped all the way back to the palace, and Queen Ma went straight to the Wenhua Palace, followed closely by Zhu Biao. Arriving in front of the Wenhua Hall, Queen Ma waved to Zhu Biao to wait outside.

Queen Ma stepped into the hall, and a moment later, the maids and eunuchs were kicked out one after another. Wang Jinghong, the chief eunuch, hurriedly came to Zhu Biao with a look of panic on his face: "Prince, has your Majesty provoked the Queen again?"

Zhu Biao raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Only the queen mother can control the father."

As expected, crackling sounds soon came from the hall. Not long after, Queen Ma walked out angrily, and all the maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly. After she walked away, Wang Jinghong bowed to Zhu Biao with a painful look on his face: "Prince, please go in first and persuade the emperor."

Zhu Biao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go in alone to see the situation. You can come in again after my father has calmed down."

He strode into the Wenhua Hall and looked up to see Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the throne rubbing his forehead, which seemed to be a little green. Zhu Biao was secretly amused, but he still saluted respectfully and asked: "Father, have you made your mother angry again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "She went crazy on her own."

Zhu Biao suppressed his smile: "Fortunately, the Queen Mother kicked everyone out, otherwise..."

"What else?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said, "Biao'er, you have to remember that a man should look like a man, and he must be able to control women! How can we, the old Zhu family, be afraid of our wives?"

Zhu Biao: "..."

Isn't that man who is afraid of his wife your father?

"Father is right, I will obey your instructions." Zhu Biao said while suppressing a smile.

"By the way, Biao'er, you are now an adult. It's time to start preparing for your marriage." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly, "Let your mother make arrangements later. You have to find something for her to do."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.
