Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 605 All in one go
However, despite the kind words of Zhu Su and Zhu Xiongying, Chang Sheng still sighed.

A tall and proud man turned into such a helpless state because of a single thought. Zhu Su felt sad when he saw this in his eyes.

"Brother Chang, why did you suddenly want to take Xiongying to that village that day...but were you deceived by others? Or were you influenced by others?"

"Although the Kong family has been executed...maybe there is still a culprit hiding in the dark and at large?"

After sitting in Chang Mansion for a long time, Chang Mao seemed very enthusiastic, but Chang Sheng was always a little unhappy and rarely responded to several people's topics.Zhu Su hesitated for a while, then went straight to the point and asked directly about the details of that day.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Su's question, Chang Sheng immediately cheered up.He thought carefully for a while and then shook his head: "No outsider deceived me. The reason why I went to that village was just my impromptu decision that day."

"That day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to escort His Highness the Grand Sun for an outing in the countryside. There was no designated destination. I drove out of the city first, and then I thought that there is a village in the south of the city. I can hear the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, which is very suitable for an outing..."

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Zhu Su decisively stopped Chang Sheng's story.

It was just a casual inquiry at first, but only then did Zhu Su become serious.He turned to Chang Sheng: "Second brother Chang said it was 'heard'... But can you still remember who said it?"

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and began to think hard.He had just recovered from a serious illness and was in low spirits. After thinking hard, he started to sway while sitting at the table.

Chang Mao couldn't bear to see it, and turned to intercede with Zhu Su: "Maybe it was just hearsay, how can I still remember it? Besides, it was Brother Sheng's temporary decision. Even if I really think about it, I'm afraid it will be of little use, right? "

"Having said that...if someone deliberately gives some hints to give Brother Chang the impression that the epidemic area is 'very suitable for an outing', then the matter of heroes is not Brother Chang's responsibility."

"But someone has ulterior motives and uses Brother Chang as a sword..."

Zhu Su said this, and Chang Mao immediately sat up straight.Chang Sheng began to think more intently.These days, he was almost tormented by the guilt in his heart.If there really was a real culprit behind the scenes, he would be able to escape freely.

He thought hard and even banged his head, as if turning his head over would bring out the forgotten memories.Zhu Xiongying looked at him worriedly, as if he wanted to give some advice, but Zhu Su pulled him back.

Deep down in his heart, he always felt that there was still something behind the smallpox incident.But the root cause of this matter has always been difficult to find, and Chang Sheng was the only breakthrough.

"I remembered! Your Highness, I have remembered!" Chang Sheng suddenly stood up and seemed not to have even heard of the wine cup on the table being knocked over. "I was on the couch... where I was chatting with my concubine when I was at home! Uncle Chang, Uncle Chang! Go and call my third aunt!"

He said a few words in a hurry, then went to call the housekeeper to summon the concubine.Chang Sheng's excited face turned red when he figured out the reason, and he looked much healthier than his previous lifeless appearance.

The old housekeeper who was accompanying him immediately responded to the order, and not long after, he brought a delicate and timid woman.The woman seemed to have never seen a grand visit by a prince and a grandson. She looked very reserved. She wanted to kneel down in a panic and wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Chang Sheng who asked angrily: "Ms. Lu, Let me ask you, who made you tell me that Qingshui Village has beautiful scenery and is suitable for outings?" "Did you deliberately deceive me? Tell me, be honest!"

Although he still looked sick, he now showed a frightening ferocity.After hearing this, the concubine's eyes immediately filled with tears and she looked straight at Chang Sheng: "How can the master speak like this? Since the master became ill, I have not shied away from dangers and served him every day. Even my clothes have become wider."

"You actually deceived me by deceiving me... Everyone knows that Qingshui Village is beautiful, so how can I deceive you?"

When Chang Sheng saw her appearance, he was stunned for a moment, remembering that during the past few days when he was ill, his concubine had indeed been fully clothed, and she could be considered very affectionate.For a moment, I couldn't bear to continue to criticize him harshly.On the contrary, Zhu Su seemed to have heard something crucial. He stood up, walked to the concubine, and asked coldly: "Second brother Chang called you Lu... so your surname is Lu?"

"...Reply, to this noble man, my concubine's surname is Lu." She dared to mess around with Chang Sheng, but although Zhu Su was young, he was very powerful, so the concubine was timid for a while, so she could only be honest.

"What is the relationship between Lord Lu Benlu, the former Zuo Si Lang Zhong, and you?"

The concubine's face was full of fear, as if she didn't expect that Zhu Su would ask this suddenly, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.Chang Sheng came to his senses and said to Zhu Su: "Your Highness, this concubine of mine is indeed related to Mr. Lu Benlu's family and is from a branch of the Lu family..."

"Why, Mr. Lu, he..."

He had realized that Zhu Su was suspicious of Lu Ben.

Zhu Su had no time to answer him, he just frowned deeply.Chang Sheng's concubine was from the Lu clan, and Lu Ben was the most suspicious person in his heart.Now, he has almost confirmed that the reason why Chang Sheng led Zhu Xiongying to Qingshui Village was because he was secretly deceived by Lu Ben.

Chang Sheng was an old-fashioned person and rarely went out to play. How could he know where around Yingtian would be suitable for his grandson to spend a spring outing?It is too easy to subtly influence it through the mouth of his concubine.

The biggest problem now is that Lu Ben should not think about murdering Zhu Xiongying at this time.Even if he has evil intentions, what he should be thinking about now is how to marry his daughter to Zhu Biao, and then how to assassinate Zhu Xiongying and the Chang family and support the grandson of the Lu family to rise to power... The daughter of the Lu family has not yet married the prince. It's like building a tall building without a foundation.If we are thinking about murdering Zhu Xiongying now, isn't it just building a castle in the air?
"Your Highness?" Seeing Zhu Su lost in thought, the Chang brothers looked at each other in surprise.

They also saw that Zhu Su had already thought of a clue.

Zhu Su was still thinking to himself. He was already very suspicious of Lu Ben, but he still couldn't figure out why Lu Ben would assassinate Zhu Xiongying in the first place.Unless, Lu Ben is already sure that he can definitely give his daughter to Zhu Biao.So what will be his solution?When will it take action?
Zhu Su was suddenly horrified: If it were really Lu Ben, wouldn't he have already taken action?
Taking advantage of the smallpox caused by Kong Xixue, he attempted to kill Zhu Biao's only son, Zhu Xiongying!
If Zhu Biao has no children, will Lao Zhu and Queen Ma try to get him to have a concubine so that he can have children?
Could it be that Lu Ben really wanted to use just one trick to achieve success in one fell swoop?
