Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

At the same time, Sun Hu, the general flag of the Jinyiwei sent by Lu Feng earlier, displayed extraordinary lightness skills when chaos broke out in the Beizhenfu Prison, and his figure scurried through the streets like a ghost.

Sun Hu was very familiar with the routes in the city, but he had not run far when he noticed a dark shadow following closely behind him.

"Not good, the enemy must have learned the news!"

Sun Hu thought to himself that something was wrong and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

As expected, after the enemy forces learned the news, they quickly sent out assassins to intercept and kill, in an attempt to prevent the secret report from being delivered.

Sun Hu's heart tightened, as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible iron hand.

He was fully aware of the importance of this mission. If the secret report could not be delivered in time, the clues of the "Shanxi Military Horse Case" that shocked the government and the public would likely be cut off, and the efforts and hard work of countless people would be wasted.

"It's not that easy to stop me!"

Sun Hu gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

But those assassins were like a thorn in his side, chasing him relentlessly, and sharp arrows whizzed past his ears from time to time.

The sharp sound of the wind made Sun Hu's scalp numb and cold sweat soaked his back.

However, Sun Hu grew up learning martial arts in a difficult environment and experienced many life and death tests in the Jinyiwei, and a spirit of not admitting defeat instantly surged in his heart.

"Even if I have to risk my life today, I will deliver the secret report!"

Sun Hu clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Sun Hu kept shuttling through the narrow alleys.

At every turn, he silently calculated the distance and time in his mind, with determination and resoluteness in his eyes.

"Hmph, let's see if you can catch up!"

Sun Hu thought to himself and quickened his pace.

But those assassins were by no means ordinary people. They followed closely like ghosts.

At the critical moment, Sun Hu seized the opportunity, dodged and hid in an abandoned house, cleverly avoiding the pursuit of the assassins.

The moment he hid in the courtyard, he leaned against the ruins, breathing heavily, his clothes on the back already soaked with sweat.

"Huh... so dangerous!"

Sun Hu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly congratulating himself for his cleverness.

However, Sun Hu did not dare to relax at all. He listened vigilantly to the movements outside with his ears trembling slightly, not missing any sound.

"I hope those assassins will leave quickly."

Sun Hu prayed silently in his heart, but he was also worried that the assassins would continue searching.

After about half a cup of tea, after making sure there was no movement outside, Sun Hu ran out again and rushed towards the direction of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Along the way, he kept thinking about the assassins' pursuit methods and means, frowning, thinking about how to deal with other possible dangers.

"Next time we meet, I will never be so passive again!"

Sun Hu thought to himself, his eyes becoming more determined.

By the time he arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, Sun Hu was already panting, his chest heaving violently.

Without even a moment to catch his breath, he handed Zhu Gang the urgent secret report regarding the sudden incident in the Beizhenfusi Prison.

Sun Hu said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this is an urgent report from the Northern Pacification Prison. The situation is extremely critical!"

The secret report described the various abnormal behaviors of the relevant prisoners in great detail, and the confession of the horse-faced suspect was also recorded verbatim.

It also emphasized the strange phenomenon behind this chaos, and especially stressed that the situation was very likely closely related to the "Shanxi Military Horse Case" that shocked the government and the opposition, and solemnly reminded that relevant clues were at risk of being interrupted at any time.

Zhu Gang took the secret report and slightly narrowed his deep eyes, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

But his heart was like a surging wave, and the calm on the surface was just a habit he had developed in the vortex of power for many years. Slowly unfolding the secret report, Zhu Gang's eyes quickly scanned every line of words like a hawk.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, showing his inner unrest.

After reading the secret report, Zhu Gang felt as if struck by lightning.

The hand holding the secret report turned slightly pale, his teeth were clenched, and the muscles in his cheeks were twitching slightly, showing Zhu Gang's anger and worry at the moment.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "These prisoners are so bold!"

Sun Hu said cautiously: "Your Highness, please calm down. The most urgent thing is to find a way to deal with this matter."

Zhu Gang took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.

"How could I not know what you said?
This matter is of great importance, and I must immediately go to my father to ask for his instructions."

On the way to Zhu Yuanzhang's residence, Zhu Gang had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He frowned and muttered to himself, "This Shanxi Military Horse Case involves a wide range of people, and all parties in the court are paying close attention to it.

There are even forces that want to take advantage of this situation to fish in troubled waters and sabotage the investigation.

The chaos in the Beizhenfusi Prison was most likely the deliberate creation of certain forces.

The purpose is to cover up the truth and prevent further excavation of clues."

Sun Hu echoed, "Your Highness is right. Those forces will not give up easily. We need to be more careful."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the couch with a stern expression. After listening to Zhu Gang's statement, he did not give any instructions immediately.

Instead, he looked at Zhu Gang with a sharp gaze and said slowly, "Third Brother, this matter is of great importance. Are you sure you can handle it properly?"

Zhu Gang frowned slightly, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

On the one hand, he was full of confidence in his abilities, after all, he had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his battles since he was a child.

Having experienced countless storms, what kind of scenes has Zhu Gang not seen?

But on the other hand, he was also aware of the complexity and danger of this incident.

If you are not careful, you may end up in an irretrievable situation.

After a brief thought, Zhu Gang said earnestly: "I have followed my father in battles since I was young and have experienced countless storms. I know that this matter concerns the safety of the country.

I, your son, will do my best to live up to your trust.

If there is any mistake, I will bring my head to you!"

After saying this, he raised his head with a firm and resolute look, his face revealing an unquestionable majesty and courage.

But deep in those determined eyes, there was a hint of uneasiness about the unknown, but Zhu Gang was unwilling to show it.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then handed the imperial edict to Zhu Gang.

"Third brother, don't let dad down."

Zhu Gang took the imperial edict with both hands and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

Zhu Gang, who was overjoyed, jumped on his horse after expressing his gratitude, whipped the horse and galloped towards the Beizhenfusi Prison.

In fact, before Zhu Gang set out, his actions had already been revealed to the forces hidden in the dark by spies.

These forces were inextricably linked to the "Shanxi Military Horse Case". They were afraid that Zhu Gang would investigate the matter thoroughly after receiving the imperial edict, which would endanger their own interests.

So after learning that Zhu Gang had received the imperial edict to leave the city, the other side immediately arranged a group of extraordinary people.

They had set up huge rocks to block the road leading to the Beizhenfusi Prison in advance, and hid a group of assassins in the woods on both sides of the road.

Therefore, not long after Zhu Gang and his party left the city, the road ahead was blocked by a group of unidentified masked men with huge rocks. (End of this chapter)
