Chapter 114 The Imperial Seal, Lost?
Everyone didn't care about Yun Zheng's pretending to be mysterious, and didn't ask in detail, and turned around to talk to Jin Yiwei.If there is any problem, Jin Yiwei will naturally look for it, and there is no need for them to come forward.On the contrary, if Jin Yiwei didn't say anything, then it's nothing if they just prepared an extra piece of information.

After simply saying a few nonsense such as "the weather is good today", "everyone will take care of each other in the future", "the days are not going well these days", the proprietress of Huayuelou arranged for someone to deliver food to the house.

The cups came and went, the scene was very lively, and the dead bodies outside the door seemed to not exist.In fact, when they leave, they will find, dead bodies. . .Really no longer there.

That night, everything that happened in Huayuelou was written into two excerpts, which were sent to Jiang Huan and Zhu Yuanzhang.For all this, Jiang Huan just let out a cold snort and let it go.But after Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he ate half a bowl more for dinner.

For three days, people from all walks of life in Nanjing City waited for three days. No matter whether they were meeting with the imperial court or the royal guards, they did not give any reaction to the scene of the Dead Man Alley, so they gradually understood its meaning.What else is there to say? If you have any news, send it to an extra place. It won’t be a big trouble.

Recently, Xu Ruyi has lived a life of two o'clock and one line again. In the morning, he went out of the palace for a walk, met Ouyang and Yamazaki Ryuya, and asked Yun Zheng if he came to look for him or something, but Yun Zheng seemed He is also very busy, and there is nothing troublesome. Since he took care of the low-headed snakes in Nanjing City in one fell swoop last time, he needs to be busy with more things every day. He handles all kinds of information and sends important ones to Xu In the hands of Ruyi, at the same time, he is also busy managing the alley of dead people, selecting those with better talents, and telling them to study and practice martial arts.By the way, only Yamazaki Tatsuya and Ouyang are still living in the Tongfu Inn, and Wang Yongzhen is gone.To be precise, it should be regarded as traveling.For his No. [-] village in the world, he went to the rivers and lakes to find those No. [-] in the world.

According to the plan, if they found it, let them come to the Tongfu Inn in Beijing to find Yamazaki Tatsuya, and then Yamazaki Tatsuya and Xu Ruyi will make arrangements.Yamazaki Ryuya has now changed his name to Ryuye, which is a homonym for Ryuya, and he has begun to wear a mask on his face, so he no longer shows his true colors.In any case, he is also a Japanese who made a fuss in the martial arts conference, so it is still very inconvenient to show his face in public.A while ago, Wang Yongzhen asked someone to send news, saying that Cao Jie, the most powerful man in the world mentioned earlier, seemed to have news, and he might not come to the capital at any time, so he asked Ryu Yamazaki to pay attention.

Generally speaking, whether it is Deadman's Lane or No. [-] Villa in the World, they have already taken a solid first step, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

In the early morning, at an early morning stall on the side of the road, several diners were whispering to each other.

"Have you heard?"

"Oh? You heard that too?"

"I heard that Guoxi..."

Guoxi, a word that appears most frequently in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City.

I don't know when, a rumor suddenly appeared in the city of Nanjing, to be precise, it should be a rumor.It is said that the emperor's imperial seal was lost.Everyone who heard the news scoffed.The emperor's national seal will also be lost?This is a joke.But jokes are jokes, common people still like to spread rumors and gossip, this is human nature, not to mention rumors related to the wise and powerful Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.Xu Ruyi didn't know when the rumor appeared and where it came from.However, it has been more than half a month since he heard the rumor. The strange thing is that the court didn't refute the rumor, or even react at all, which is a bit weird. , Silence and non-response, this is the fermentation of rumors.

Seals, to put it bluntly, are seals, carved from gold and jade.There are not many seals in the hands of the emperor, but there are not many. Xu Ruyi has inquired about them in the past two days, and there are seventeen in total: the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor's letter, the treasure of the emperor's travel, etc. Xu Ruyi can't remember. clear.However, the lost one in the rumors is not an ordinary seal, but the national treasure of the Ming Dynasty personally made by Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the national seal. Basically, it is not used on any occasion, but it represents the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.

People who say that the imperial seal is lost basically have the same meaning as if they were about to lose it tomorrow.Although Xu Ruyi was a little guilty in her heart, she still didn't really believe it until. . . . . .

"Ru, Ruyi, let me tell you something, and you analyze it for me." In Chunfang, as soon as Huang Zicheng left, Zhu Yunqi said mysteriously.

"Why?" Xu Ruyi was a little puzzled.This was the first time that after Huang Zicheng left, he didn't pester himself to take him out of the palace or tell him a "story".

"You go out of the palace every day, have you heard of... heard of..." Zhu Yunwen hesitated, as if he was still struggling to decide whether to say it or not.

"Have you heard anything?"

"Have you heard any rumors about...about..."

"Guoxi?" Xu Ruyi tentatively guessed softly.

"That's right, that's right!!! It's the Imperial Seal." Zhu Yunqi nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Xu Ruyi with some dissatisfaction: "It's over, come back and tell me if you heard this kind of thing?"

Xu Ruyi smiled wryly: "I listened to it as a joke. It's just a rumor and it's unreliable. Not to mention anything else, the emperor lost the imperial seal. Do you believe it? Who did you hear it from?" ?”

"I heard it from the eunuch in the palace by chance, but..." Zhu Yunwen looked around, then lowered his voice: "I made a special trip to ask the emperor's grandfather this morning, but guess what happened?"

"It can't be true, can it?" Xu Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah." Zhu Yunwen nodded.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Ruyi looked at Zhu Yunqi sincerely and said, "Your Highness, I did not steal this imperial seal, you have to trust me."

"Bullshit." Zhu Yunwen scolded with a smile, and pushed Xu Ruyi a bit: "You eunuch wants Guoxi to have a dick. I didn't say I doubted you."

After Xu Ruyi sneaked out of the palace twice, Zhu Yunqi also had some street gangster spirit on him.

The two joked a few words, and Zhu Yunwen's expression became more serious: "I've been thinking about this all day. You said that this imperial seal is lost, how could it be lost? Let's not talk about who can steal it. Why are you stealing this thing?"

Xu Ruyi thought about it, and then analyzed: "I agree with this. With the emperor around, it's useless for anyone to take the imperial seal. If you want to rebel with a stone, it's just a daydream."

"You think so too?" Zhu Yunqi said depressedly: "That's weird, what's going on?"

. . . . . . .

"Brother." In a small house behind Nanjing Confucius Temple, Fat Feiyan Dong Chao looked at the man in front of him with a solemn expression and asked the question he had been holding back for almost half a month: "Did you take it?"

"Gulululu, poof" spit out the mouthwash in one gulp, Hua Pengfei looked at Dong Chao suspiciously, so he asked, "What are you taking?"

"Guoxi!" Dong Chao stared at Hua Pengfei's face, trying to see some clues.

"Guoxi?" Hua Pengfei looked at Dong Chao angrily and amusedly: "Come on, brother, tell me, what do I want that thing for? Even if I want to exchange money, I dare to sell it, does anyone dare to buy it?"

"Then who knows." Dong Chao scratched his head and said a joke, but he still believed it in his heart. Since Hua Pengfei denied the fateful friendship between the two, he no longer doubted it.

Speaking of which, ever since Hua Pengfei promised four things in front of Shen Hongxian, he brought his good friend Dong Chao all the way to Nanjing City.Da Huan Dan, seven masters, 10 taels of silver, and the golden needle Shen's family returned to the rivers and lakes.Among these four things, Hua Pengfei is most sure about the 10 taels of silver, steal it.But for 10 taels of silver, it took Hua Pengfei seven days to get it done in Hangzhou.The reason why I came to the capital was to contact people from Tianmen.There are seven masters above Jiazi's skill level, and the Jinzhen Shen family's comeback, these two things cannot be handled by Hua Pengfei alone, but Tianmen might be able to.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how bad it is, it is better than him alone.

It's just that Ren Xiao didn't want him to have too much involvement with Tianmen, so he didn't tell him too much about Tianmen, so that Hua Pengfei didn't know anything about it except that the Tianmen chief helmsman was in the capital.But it doesn't matter. Hua Pengfei at least knows that Xu Ruyi, Ren Xiao's godson, is probably in Nanjing and will come in the future even if he is not here now.As for the reason, it was because Hua Pengfei once touched a gold medal from the imperial palace on Xu Ruyi and knew that he was from the palace.

It's a pity that he seems to be unlucky. He and Dong Chao have been wandering around Nanjing for almost two months, but there is no news at all. Especially, no one from Tianmen is looking for him.Hua Pengfei guessed that Ren Xiao might have never mentioned himself to anyone in Tianmen.So in order to lure people from Tianmen out, he had been thinking of doing something sensational recently. It was for this reason that Dong Chao suspected that he had stolen the national seal.

"It seems that you also believe that rumor?" Hua Pengfei asked casually.

"Yeah." Dong Chao nodded honestly: "Brother, I didn't say it. If it's really a rumor, with the current Emperor's temper, it's probably going to be a disaster. How can it be impossible that there is no reaction at all?"

"Are you stupid?" Hua Pengfei sneered: "Otherwise, what if you lock the world and tell everyone that your imperial seal is lost and Daming has lost his destiny? It's normal if you don't respond. This matter, did you lose it or not?" There is no way to describe it, it gets darker and darker.”

After a pause, Hua Pengfei continued: "However, there is no reason for this. I don't care whether the jade seal is lost or not. The key is who spread the news."

"That's true." Dong Chao squatted on the ground, raised his head and said, "I always feel that this matter probably has something to do with us, and it may be aimed at us."

"Tell me." Hua Pengfei also squatted on the ground, looking at his brother, this is a habit of the two, squatting and talking.

"How should I put it?" Dong Chao frowned: "In this line of work, brother, your ability can be regarded as the best in the world. In the deep palace, the imperial seal was stolen. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be the first I have doubts on you. I can’t guess why you want the Imperial Seal, but I think it’s enough if you can steal it.”

Mrs. Dong Chaofu Fu looks ugly, but in fact she is shrewd and quick-witted. She can always tell the truth when encountering anything, so Hua Pengfei took him with her this time.

"What you said... makes sense." Hua Pengfei murmured.

Dong Chao thought for a while, and then continued, "If elder brother thinks the same way, then things will be different."

Swallowing saliva to moisten his throat, Dong Chao said: "We don't know who the first person to tell this rumor is, but there are two situations. The first one is that he doesn't know the name of the elder brother. This time our brothers bumped into each other purely by bad luck."

"What about the second one?"

"Secondly, he knows the elder brother, at least he must know the name of the elder brother. This kind of rumor is likely to force the elder brother to show up. After all, the court does not say anything on the surface, but it is estimated that there are many actions in the dark, and the elder brother is arrested. It might be even bigger.”

In both cases, after Dong Chao finished speaking, he remained silent.Hua Pengfei also stopped talking.The two knew in their hearts that the second scenario was more likely.Otherwise, some things are really scary to think about, and it is easy to make troubles if nothing happens.

After a long while, Hua Pengfei shook his head: "Forget it, I can't figure it out, let's take a step." Sighing, he asked again: "How is the person I asked you to inquire about?"

"I didn't find it, but it seems to be a little crazy." When Dong Chao said this, he glanced at Hua Pengfei complaining: "At the tea stall outside Chengdu, you just gave me a look and asked me to pay attention to him." I wouldn't have to look so hard for her looks."

"That's so much nonsense." Hua Pengfei laughed: "Didn't you say it yourself at the beginning? When you walk in the rivers and lakes, you meet and treat it as if you didn't meet it, and you don't show your whereabouts? Besides, who told you not to go to the martial arts conference afterward?" Yes, rely on me?"

"I'm going, maybe I'll die in Matou Mountain." Dong Chao rolled his eyes: "Where did you just say?"

"He has a head."

"Oh, yes." Dong Chao nodded: "Xu Ruyi is most famous for her quick sword, like a ghost. There is no news in the world recently, so let's not talk about it for now, but there is a quick sword wielder in the capital. "

"Oh?"

"Still a eunuch."

"?!"

Hua Pengfei thought he had found him, but Dong Chao went on to say, "It's just that he is short in stature and ugly in appearance."

"Tch, then you still say."

"There are not one person, but the martial arts are similar. After all, it's a clue, isn't it?"

"Okay, let's take a look later." Hua Pengfei thought for a while, trying his luck is not a bad thing.

"No, I've made all the arrangements." Dong Chao patted his chest and said, "It's only a day or two before that person should come to the door."

"Oh? How did you arrange it?" Hua Pengfei asked with a smile.

Suddenly, a person climbed over the wall and stood in the courtyard: "It doesn't matter how you arrange it, just tell me, what can you do with our family?"

Dong Chao looked up and down, nodded, and whispered to Pengfei, "It should be him."

Hua Pengfei remained calm, stood up from the ground, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Do you know Xu Ruyi?"
