The officers and soldiers waiting to be notified walked away.

Zhao Taichu called back the soldiers outside the door who hadn't gone far.

"What else does your lord want?"

The soldier was about to arrange for someone to find Yu Zhuo, when he heard Zhao Taichu calling him back, he hurriedly asked.

Zhao Taichu whispered to him:

"Someone came from the capital, I suspect it's related to Yu Zhuo's disappearance."

"I will find a way to deal with him, but since there are people from the capital... I still need to do some superficial work."

"Notify the military households everywhere, if anyone dares to say anything that is not good for this thousand households..."

"Then they wait to collect the body for the whole family!"

Chapter 71 It is necessary to buy off the thousands of households in the capital

As soon as He Li entered Zhao Taichu's room, he saw Zhao Taichu greeted him with a smiling face.

"He Li, a thousand households of Xialong Xiangwei, pay my respects to Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Taichu hurriedly said:

"Master He really upset me."

"You are an adult of the upper twelve guards, but you are no more than the thousand households of the local guards. I should be the one to visit you."

After speaking, he bowed to He Li.

Regarding Zhao Taichu's remarks.

He Li also somewhat agrees.

The upper twelve guards are the emperor's personal guards, with a detached status.

Although both of them are both of thousands of households, if they really compare, then Zhao Taichu must be inferior to him.

He Li asked:

"I came here today to ask about something. I didn't disturb Mr. Zhao's business, right?"

"Of course not," Zhao Taichu quickly stretched out his hand to the chair, and said, "Master He, please take a seat... come, let's have some tea!"

He Li stretched out his hand to stop him:

"No need."

"Come here today, time is in a hurry, and I don't have time to sit and drink tea."

"Oh? I don't know why Sir He came here today, why?" Zhao Taichu asked vigilantly.

He Li went straight to the point and said:

"Recently, a military household has filed a complaint against the military household in the capital, saying that someone in Yangzhou has done illegal things to the military household... I have been ordered by the Governor's Mansion to investigate the situation of the Yangzhou Weijun household."

"Master Zhao, I don't know much about the military households in Yangzhou, can you show me the way?"

Hearing what He Li said, Zhao Taichu was more than half relieved.

If you really came to find fault, it would be impossible to speak so bluntly.

It is also impossible to find yourself to lead the way.

Now that it has been said, it must not be a serious investigation, but just a formality.

Coming to lead the way for me is just to give myself a chance to "arrange", so that there will be no accidents during the investigation, and He Li can go back to the Dudu's Mansion to deal with business.

then.

Zhao Taichu's face was full of smiles, and he said to He Li:

"It's easy to say, there are a total of 110 military households under the jurisdiction, and they basically live in a few villages on the outskirts of Dongcheng. I'll take you to take a look."

He Li nodded, agreeing with what he said.

After the two left the house.

Zhao Taichu also specially looked for an opportunity to summon a soldier, and whispered to him:

"This gentleman from a thousand households from the capital deserves to be taken care of. I have written a note for you. You can go to my house to get 100 taels of gold."

"At that time, I will give it to Lord Qianhu."

The soldiers got the order, took the note and left.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying changed into comfortable robes and went out of Jianxian Pavilion to go shopping.

Mr. Zhong followed from a distance without showing his face, looking like an ordinary old man passing by.

On the road.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the small stalls on both sides of the road, suddenly felt novelty, looked around for a while, and suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang discovered Zhu Xiongying's abnormality, so he asked.

Zhu Xiongying smiled slightly and whispered:

"Grandpa, didn't you say that this trip is a private visit in a micro-service, so you don't need to bring many guards?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by the question, nodded and said:

"Yeah, didn't we just bring Hu Wei and He Li with us?"

Zhu Xiongying continued to laugh and said:

"Really, those who followed us..."

"Grandpa didn't arrange for you?"

This time.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little embarrassed when the secret in his heart was revealed.

The reason why he didn't tell Zhu Xiongying that there was a team of guards was because he didn't want to disturb his grandson's pleasure of going out to play.

But for Lao Zhu, the safety of his grandson is still extremely important.

and so.

He secretly selected a dozen or so elite soldiers, and followed him from a distance in disguise.

Moreover, a death order was issued, and if he was not summoned by himself, he must not show up.

But this matter...

Why did Zhu Xiongying see through it?

to be frank.

Now even Zhu Yuanzhang himself can't tell who is the guard he arranged among the passers-by.

Everyone is no different from ordinary people.

"My dear grandson, I didn't want to hide this from you. I'm afraid you might find it boring to go shopping," Zhu Yuanzhang said. "However... how did you know that someone was following us?"

Zhu Xiongying replied:

"The grandson can feel the qi in everyone."

"If ordinary people don't have a vicious aura, even if there are people with a vicious personality, that aura is nothing but vain and hard to see."

"However, if it is a professionally trained officer guard, the qi on his body is tenacious, and the restrained qi is like a sword sheathed, it is not difficult to see at all."

"If it's an assassin, it's murderous, and it's different in comparison."

"So, my grandson can conclude that those people want to protect us."

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying pointed casually.

In the distance, there was a fortune-telling gentleman holding a cover, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to Zhu Xiongying's side at all.

"For example, the fortune teller should be one of the guards arranged by you, Grandpa."

"Although the disguise is good, the appearance is at least 30 years older after the disguise, but the figure is tall and straight, and the spirit cannot be hidden."

Zhu Xiongying said so.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fortune teller, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

I was watched by Lao Zhu for a long time.

The fortune teller also noticed the attention here, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he thought:

"Long live Lord... you can't see my identity, can you?"

"No, with my level of disguise, even my own brothers should not be able to recognize each other..."

"Long Live Lord is truly worthy of being the Holy Lord, nothing can escape his eyes."

thought here.

The fortune teller was even more flustered, he simply avoided looking, and turned directly into a small alley.

See how he reacts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also certain that this was one of the dozen or so guards who did not live up to expectations.

However, Lao Zhu was not angry either.

After all, without his grandson's reminder, he couldn't see that the fortune teller opposite him was easy to bear.

Can't help feeling:

"These brats are quite clever in disguise."

"Almost fooled us."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at him, and thought:

"If I hadn't reminded you, would you have seen it?"

Although I thought so in my heart, I said on my mouth:

"How about it, grandpa, do you need me to point out the others one by one?"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stopped him and said:

"Forget it, it's not easy for these guys to follow us, so let's not point them out, let's pretend they don't exist."

As he spoke, he pointed to a hawker selling candied haws in the distance and said:

"Do you want to eat candied haws? Grandpa will buy it for you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were intended to divert Zhu Xiongying's attention.

Who knows.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said:

"No."

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is a little strange, is there any child who can resist the temptation of candied haws?

When he was a child, he had only seen such delicacies eaten by the children of rich landlords, and he dreamed of tasting it.

Unexpectedly, when it was my turn to bring my grandson, my grandson didn't want to eat.

Zhu Xiongying explained calmly:

"No reason."

"The peddler who sells candied haws..."

"It was also pretended by Grandpa's pro-military guard."
