Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 23 Solution

When Xu Zengshou heard what Xu Huizu said, his expression froze and he said, "Brother, the King of Yan and I..."

"Zengshou, I hope you can think it over carefully before answering." Xu Huizu stretched out his hand to interrupt Xu Zengshou's words, his face gloomy, and he was trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart.

Xu Zengshou fell silent for a while after hearing this.

Xu Huizu did not urge him and waited quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The atmosphere in the study was extremely depressing.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zengshou heaved a long sigh, as if accepting his fate, and said, "Yes, the Prince of Yan and I have been in private contact over the years."

After saying this, he seemed to have let go of all his burdens and his expression was very calm.

"Snapped!"

A slap sounded.

"You bastard, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Xu Huizu yelled angrily.

Xu Zengshou looked bitter, lowered his head and said nothing.

Of course, there is nothing much to say about the current situation.

"Hmph!" Xu Huizu snorted coldly and paced back and forth in the study with a gloomy face. His brows were furrowed and his brain was working rapidly, trying to find a foolproof method.

The Duke of Wei's mansion must be protected, and Xu Zengshou must also be protected.

Although what Xu Zengshou did made him very angry, he was still his own brother. Before his father died, he asked him to take good care of the family, and he couldn't let anything happen to anyone in the family.

"Brother, take me to see His Majesty. Everyone has their own share of responsibility." Xu Zengshou said. He also understood how big a mess he had caused this time.

Zhu Yunwen came to the door in person. This was definitely not because he found out that Zhu Yunwen had private dealings with Zhu Di, but because he knew that he was colluding with Zhu Di. However, this did not wrongly accuse him. He was indeed secretly supporting Zhu Di and conveying some intelligence about Yingtian Prefecture to Zhu Di.

"How was I exposed?"

A thought popped up in Xu Zengshou's mind.

He has been safe and sound for so many years. If he were the Jinyiwei, it would not have dragged on until now.

Suddenly, a name appeared in his mind: "Ge Cheng!"

Not long ago, Ge Cheng came to Yingtian Prefecture from Peking.

Zhu Di also gave him a letter, asking him to help Ge Cheng when he was in danger.

"Oh no, we must tell King Yan this news!" Xu Zengshou's expression changed, he felt a little anxious, and stood up suddenly.

If Ge Cheng really betrayed him, Zhu Di would suffer a great loss.

"What are you doing?" Xu Huizu was thinking about a solution when he was startled by Xu Zengshou who suddenly stood up.

Xu Zengshou suppressed his anxiety and said in a calm tone, "Brother, I suddenly remembered that there is something very important that I haven't done yet."

Xu Huizu stared coldly at Xu Zengshou and said, "Third Brother, what on earth has Zhu Di tricked you into believing that you are still so stubborn and stubborn even now?"

"Brother, I'm not." A hint of panic flashed in Xu Zengshou's eyes, and he subconsciously denied it.

Before he could finish, Xu Huizu rushed up and started punching and kicking him.

"No, I told you not to."

"Today, I will wake you up."

"I promised Dad that I would take good care of everyone in the family, so I can't just watch you get into trouble."

"."

Xu Huizu fought and spoke at the same time, he did not hold back at all, and each blow landed heavily.

Just now, he thought of a way to help Xu Zengshou get rid of the crime. That was to beat Xu Zengshou half to death by himself, and then drag him before Zhu Yunwen to apologize. This might allow Zhu Yunwen to spare Xu Zengshou's life in consideration of the Xu family's contributions.

Of course, it is only possible to keep Xu Zengshou alive. The specific situation depends on Zhu Yunwen's intention. After all, the mistake Xu Zengshou made this time was too serious.

Xu Zengshou said nothing, did not try to dodge, and just endured it.

He also knew in his heart that his actions had brought a huge crisis to his family, and the physical pain he suffered at this moment could just soothe the guilt in his heart.

"Bang bang bang" Xu Huizu's fists fell again and again, hitting Xu Zengshou. He was a military general and his strength was incomparable to ordinary people. In the blink of an eye, Xu Zengshou was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and his body was covered with scars.

"Pfft!"

Xu Zengshou couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to continue beating. He understood that he had to be ruthless now. Only by beating Xu Zengshou badly enough would he have a chance to save Xu Zengshou's life.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Xu Zengshou was beaten so badly that his body was covered with wounds and looked unrecognizable. He lay in a pool of blood and fainted.

"huhuhuhu"

Xu Huizu sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Looking at Xu Zengshou who was unconscious beside him, a bitter look flashed in his eyes: "Zengshou, don't blame me, big brother. This is the price of doing something wrong."

After a rest.

Xu Huizu stood up from the ground and shouted outside: "Someone come!"

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and two servants walked in: "Master!"

When they saw Xu Zengshou lying on the ground with blood all over his face, their pupils contracted sharply and they were horrified.

"Did the master beat the Third Master to death?"

The same thought came to their minds.

Their expressions were serious and they didn't look around, for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

Xu Huizu's face was calm as he said, "Go prepare a carriage and carry Zengshou onto it."

"Yes, sir!"

The two servants nodded.

Xu Huizu looked up at the two of them and said calmly, "Keep your mouths shut. Don't say anything you shouldn't say. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

The two servants' expressions suddenly changed and they nodded.

"Go!" Xu Huizu waved his hand.

The two servants bowed and turned to leave.

After leaving the study, the two looked at each other, and then went to do their work in silence.

They were well aware of the status of the Duke of Wei's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and they were just two small servants.

Not long after.

A carriage drove out of the Duke of Wei's Mansion and headed towards the imperial palace.

In the carriage, Xu Huizu frowned and looked confused.

Duke Xin’s Mansion!

After Tang He returned home, he went straight into the study and locked himself in.

He needs to think carefully about what to do next.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead. This news was too shocking. He could not imagine how big a storm it would cause once it was exposed.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a knock on the door.

Then, Tang Wei's voice rang out: "Dad, can I come in?"

"Huh..." Tang He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Come in."

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open and Tang Wei walked in. He came to Tang He, his face full of worry that he couldn't hide, and said, "Dad, what happened?"
