Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Chapter 152: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game

Splendid Palace.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Yunwen, who had a gloomy face and fearful eyes, and asked in confusion.

"Are you sure you didn't find anything suspicious in the process of tracing Xie Linzhou as a traitor?!"

"Did someone deliberately make you suspicious of Xie Linzhou, or did you find that someone deliberately framed Xie Linzhou?!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned, looked straight at Li Jinglong, and asked in a deep voice.

"No, Xie Linzhou became suspicious when he found suspicious people near the Xie Mansion. In the end, it was confirmed that those people are the remnants of the rebels!"

"The traitor also personally admitted his relationship with Xie Linzhou. The confessions of the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower and the housekeeper of Xie Mansion were also made under the intimidation of their humble position and His Highness. There is no way they can be wrong!"

Li Jinglong shook his head and said confidently.

After hearing Li Jinglong's answer, Zhu Yunwen fell into silence again, but his expression remained solemn.

"Does His Highness suspect that someone deliberately lured us into arresting Xie Linzhou in order to cause His Highness to have a grudge against King Yan?!"

Li Jinglong came back to his senses and asked in surprise.

"Actually, I have been suspicious since the incident happened to the Lu family. In addition, you just said that Xie Linzhou is actually a member of King Yan, so I feel that something is wrong!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said coldly.

"Your Highness is suspicious of the Third Emperor's grandson?!"

Li Jinglong was surprised and asked in disbelief.

"Who else could it be but him?!"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said in a deep voice.

Although there was no evidence that his guess was correct, he always felt that the matter must be related to Zhu Yunxi.

If that is really the case, then this younger brother whom he has watched since childhood has been hidden too deeply!

With such scheming intentions, he never imagined that he would be related to that trash!

"But from beginning to end in Xie Linzhou's case, everything was reasonable and not suspicious at all. How could it be him?"

Li Jinglong frowned and murmured to himself.

"I don't know, my intuition tells me that all this must be related to him!"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said coldly.

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's affirmative answer, Li Jinglong fell into deep thought, with a face full of struggle. He could not believe that the Third Emperor Sun was planning all this behind his back.

At this moment, a guard appeared outside the door and reported to Zhu Yunwen that there was new news from the Jin Yiwei.

Soon, a royal guard slowly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunwen.

"Has Jiang Wei followed my wishes and confirmed that Xie Linzhou is a traitor?!"

"If not, tell him to stop immediately!"

Before the visitor could speak, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly spoke loudly.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhu Yunwen in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"What are you doing standing there?! Why don't you hurry back and tell Jiang Wei?!"

Zhu Yunwen's face darkened and he shouted dissatisfied.

"It's too late to report back to Your Highness. Not long ago, Xie Linzhou was executed by His Majesty's order for colluding with the remnants of the rebel party."

The visitor looked at Zhu Yunwen in confusion, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"what?!"

"Why is he so obedient?! Why don't you wait anymore?!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and then scolded angrily, his words full of dissatisfaction with Jiang Wei.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. It was not Commander Xiao who confirmed that Xie Linzhou was a traitor, but His Highness the Grand Sun."

The person cupped his hands and continued.

"It's him?!"

"It's really him?!"

After Zhu Yunwen heard this, his expression instantly froze and he said with his eyes widened.

"Yes, and Xie Linzhou has personally admitted it."

The person nodded and said.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Zhu Yunwen looked puzzled and asked in shock.

Therefore, the visitor told Xie Linzhou exactly how Zhu Yunxi was interrogated in the imperial prison, without even omitting any detail.

"With just a few whispers, you can make Xie Linzhou, who would rather die than be killed, admit it?!"

"And we also found letters from Xie's residence with the rebels?!"

Zhu Yunwen looked pale, sat weakly on the chair, and murmured to himself.

At this point, he was even more convinced of the guess in his heart.

He always felt that all this was planned by Zhu Yunxi! But such speculation is too incredible, who would believe it?

Even he couldn't believe it himself!

"In addition, the commander also asked me to tell His Highness something."

"The Jinwu Guards have identified the group of people who first attacked the Chengnan Liquor and the Jiaofang Division last night, and confirmed that it was the Beiyuan spy. Xiao Huan also received great praise from His Majesty, and he was exempted from the crime of oversight. .”

The visitor glanced at Zhu Yunwen with a solemn expression, paused for a moment, and then continued to speak.

Hearing these words, Zhu Yunwen's face turned gloomy again, his fists clenched, his eyes full of resentment.

Li Jinglong on the side also stood there blankly, his heart full of unwillingness.

After running around all night, not only was the credit for the traitor finally attributed to the Third Emperor's grandson, he had worked hard in vain, and now even Xiao Huan had made a contribution!

He still remembered that because he wanted to investigate Xie Linzhou's suspicion of being a traitor, he took the opportunity to blame the attack on the wine shop and the Jiaofang Department on Xiao Huan. Unexpectedly, he ended up taking advantage of Xiao Huan, and he was in vain.

At this moment, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Now that the words have been brought, the young one will go back and resume his life."

"Commander Xiao said that the cooperation between Jin Yiwei and His Highness will continue. If there is anything that requires the Commander to come forward in the future, His Highness can just speak."

The visitor bowed his hands and bowed, then turned and left.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the chair, his face was gloomy and scary, and his eyes were gradually filled with anger.

Xie Linzhou is dead. Regardless of whether he is a traitor or not, the feud between him and King Yan has been completely closed from now on!

After putting so much effort into doing so much, he didn't expect that in the end it would all come to an advantage for others, and all the credit would go to Zhu Yunxi. How could he be willing to do so? !

"It must be him! It's definitely him!"

"He must have known for a long time that the Lu family once sent a retainer to assassinate him! He is taking revenge on me!"

"Then he uses Xie Linzhou's incident to force me and my fourth uncle to have a grudge, making us fight with each other and kill people with borrowed knives, and then he reaps the benefits!"

"That's right! That's it!"

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and said fiercely through gritted teeth.

At this moment, he was convinced of all the speculations in his mind and was about to lose his mind completely.

"But this is all His Highness's speculation. There is no evidence at all. Even if he said it, who would believe it?!"

Li Jinglong smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"No, I have to meet Grandpa Huang! Tell him everything!"

"The third child has bad intentions and is extremely ambitious! You must not be gullible!"

As Zhu Yunwen spoke, he suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the hall.

"Your Highness?!"

Li Jinglong wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all. In the end, he had to send someone to notify the princess while following Zhu Yunwen to the Minghe Palace.

Zhu Yunwen had obviously lost his mind, and he was really worried that something would happen again.

...

Minghe Hall.

"What's wrong with you? Who provoked you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon couch and looked at Zhu Yunwen who walked into the hall angrily. He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Grandpa Huang, my grandson has something to say."

Zhu Yunwen bowed his hands and said in a deep voice.

"The traitor matter has been settled. I have been up all night and am already tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it another day."

But Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Grandpa Huang, what my grandson wants to say is very important, and we must say it now!"

But Zhu Yunwen held his neck and continued to speak loudly, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

When Li Jinglong, who came with Zhu Yunwen, and Wang Defa, who was standing by, heard this, their expressions changed and they observed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression vigilantly.

"What do you want to do?! Don't you even listen to me?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face instantly darkened, he looked at Zhu Yunwen with dissatisfaction, and asked in a deep voice, obviously unhappy.

"What my grandson is going to say next is really important. Please be patient and listen to what my grandson has to say!"

Zhu Yunwen knelt on the ground with a plop, still insisting on his face.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen being so determined, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and hesitated for a moment. He did not continue to drive away, but turned to look at Li Jinglong who was standing next to Zhu Yunwen.

"What are you doing here?! Do you also have something to say?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jinglong coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, bowed hurriedly and replied, his face full of fear...
