Chapter 1529 Licking the Calf, Interrogation

Wei Qing didn't lead the team back to the East Factory until the afternoon.

"Elder-in-law, someone attacked first, and the subordinate officials chased him to no avail."

Sun Xiang was drinking tea, when he heard that he put down his teacup slowly, he said slowly: "You have to remember, this matter is not a big deal at all, but the problem lies in the swearing by those civil servants... those vassal states are loyal, Yong Mu Daming. And Cao Lao Er leaked the news that the fleet was suspended and the sailors were disbanded..."

Wei Qing frowned and said, "Eunuch, this matter cannot be kept secret! Many people know about it."

Sun Xiang said calmly: "But he also said that Daming will not go to sea again. And the people who know about it are those envoys."

"He's crazy?"

Wei Qing felt that only a lunatic would dare to do this.

"He's not crazy."

There was more sarcasm in Sun Xiang's eyes, and he said: "Someone needs him to say that, and then those vassal states will be divorced from Daming, who dares to mention going to the West again in the future?"

Wei Qing trembled in his heart, and said: "Eunuch, then this matter is aimed at Eunuch Zheng, and Xing and Bo! It must be those civil servants."

Sun Xiang said approvingly: "You have grown up."

Wei Qing blushed and said, "It's my father-in-law who gave me the advice, and the lower officials thought of this, but if this is the case, the lower officials think that it might be Xing Hebo who took Cao Laoer away."

"good!"

Sun Xiang showed his face with a smile and said, "Seeing what you know, you have indeed made progress. Zheng He is probably the most enthusiastic about going to the West in the court, but Zheng He is guarding Jinling at the moment. Except for Xinghe Bo, there is no one else."

Wei Qing clicked his tongue and said, "Uncle Xinghe is going to carry it with the civil servants! You really are fearless."

Sun Xiang lowered his eyes again, and said lightly: "Since he started science, there is no room for change with civil servants."

...

Zhu Zhanji was quite free in the palace, and even after Zhu Gaochi took the throne, he did not change this freedom.

"End."

Zhu Zhanji hugged his daughter and called softly.

"Ahhh!"

Duanduan stretched out his right hand and slapped Zhu Zhanji on the face, smiling happily.

Hu Shanxiang said worriedly: "Your Highness, Duanduanxiu will be like this."

Zhu Zhanji smiled, let Duanduan grab his face, and said: "Brother Dehua has three children, he said it himself, the children beat others unconsciously when they were young, and it was common for them to be arrested. For a while, his He was scratched by Ping An with several scars on his face, so he went out to do errands."

Hu Shanxiang chuckled: "Concubines are often arrested too, but later they learned to be smart and hide when they see her waving."

"oops!"

While speaking, Duanduan grabbed Zhu Zhanji's face with one claw. He groaned in pain.

Hu Shanxiang was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to hug Duanduan, but Zhu Zhanji pulled half of his face and said: "No problem! I suffered more serious injuries than this when practicing martial arts, and I also experienced danger during the Northern Expedition. If there is no Brother Dehua, I died in the grassland a few years ago."

Hu Shanxiang only felt her heart beating like thunder. She was worried that Zhu Zhanji would throw Duanduan on the ground. At this moment, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said: "The battle is dangerous. Fortunately, now that the sea is clear and the river is in chaos, Daming has no opponents." , you can rest assured."

Zhu Zhanji's face was slightly cold, and he said: "It's very big outside, if you keep going, you just sit and wait to die."

Duanduan was studying Zhu Zhanji's sparse beard, and was taken aback by the cold words. Her small body leaned back suddenly, looking at Zhu Zhanji in surprise.

Zhu Zhanji just squeezed out a smile again, but Duanduan's small mouth shrunk, and he burst into tears.

"Why is Duanduan crying? Duanduan, stop crying..."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji flustered, even a little panicked, Hu Shanxiang was taken aback, and then took Duan Duan, coaxing in a low voice.

Seeing the tenderness on Hu Shanxiang's face, Zhu Zhanji was stunned.

"Your Highness, Jia Quan asks to see you."

Quewei came in from outside the door to report, Zhu Zhanji nodded, and in Hu Shanxiang's surprised eyes, stretched out his hand, awkwardly wiped away the tears on Duan Duan's face, then stared for a moment, then turned and went out.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji walked away, the nanny who didn't dare to let out a moment ago said, "Ma'am,

Your Highness really cares about the princess! "

Hu Shanxiang coaxed Duanduan, took the veil and wiped her tears, and sighed: "That's because there is only one child, when there are more children in the future, who knows who will like it?"

The nanny's smile froze, and she lowered her eyes and said: "But the princess is always the first, and His Highness is very unforgettable. Besides...you are still young, and you will always have children. You will definitely have a...little princess."

Hu Shanxiang held Duan Duan in his arms, feeling her choking, and said blankly: "I... don't know..."

...

When we got outside, Jia Quan was already waiting, and Zhu Zhanji asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Jia Quan said with a happy face: "The people in Dongchang are slow, Mr. Wang and the others caught the man first, and now Xing and Bo have also gone, ready to interrogate together."

The joy on Zhu Zhanji's face faded a little, and he frowned and said, "Didn't I say don't tell him? This muddy water is not easy to wade through."

Jia Quan smiled wryly and said, "It was Xing Hebo's servant who discovered the man first. It seems that Xing Hebo and you have thought of getting together."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head, "Pay attention, it's best not to drag him into this matter, after all, father..."

...

The camp in Xishan is still a taboo place, but when Fang woke up, Wang Yan said disdainfully: "Someone is watching, I guess it is the person now, I am afraid that one day we will enter the capital and go directly Another day."

Fang Xing didn't feel that these words were rebellious at all. Looking at the two deputy Qianhu Chen Deng and Xiao Guwei next to him, they all had expressions of course. He knew that Zhu Di had left more than a thousand people dead for Zhu Zhanji. scholar.

Terrible scale!

If these more than a thousand people broke up and sneaked into the capital, Fang Xing felt that everyone would have a nightmare.

"Why is there no one?"

The camp was empty, only a dozen or so people were there.

"They all went to practice in the mountains, and they probably won't come back until the day after tomorrow."

Fang Xing shook his head, thinking that the best destination for this army is the battlefield.

Wang Yan took Fang Xing into a wooden house, and inside was a thin man tied up in a mess.

Seeing Fang waking up, the man said sadly: "Xinghe Bo, the little one just slipped his tongue!"

"Second Cao?"

Someone handed Fang Xing a chair. After he sat down, he looked at the two big men holding whips and said, "I heard that Mr. Cao is tight-lipped. Don't be too polite. Be more serious. If you don't beat him to death, you will be fine."

A big man on the left played with a whip, and the long whip made a crisp sound in the air.

"Snapped!"

The long whip waved, and Cao Laoer howled miserably, and a whip mark appeared on his body, which swelled up quickly.

The whipping continued, and Cao Lao Er's miserable howls filled the wooden house and spread out.

Fang Xing leaned on the back of his chair and said, "This is because someone wants to stop the re-opening of the fleet to the west. You know who it is even if you don't tell me, I just want to confirm it."

"ah……"

After the last whip, Fang Xing asked, "Did you say so?"

Cao Laoer's body was full of welt marks. He twisted his body on the wooden pillar and gasped, "Uncle, Uncle, the little one accidentally said it! Killing the young one can only be a lie. "

Fang Xing sneered and said, "You passed on the word, the people behind didn't want to touch you, who knew that Benbo went to the palace to persuade His Majesty, and Master Xia and the others were also here, Second Cao, you found out that things are getting worse Just ran away, right?"

Cao Lao Er bowed his head and remained silent.

"You're scared."

Fang Xing said: "You are afraid of being silenced, because after you escape, your family will be even more unlucky. You think that your family will be exiled at most, right? But Uncle Ben told you that this matter is so big and involves so much, it is not you If a small official can handle it, your family will be sacrificed in the end!"
