Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"I'm afraid something will happen to you..."

"I can also see that Nanjing is dangerous. Wen Tiren and the others are here to kill people."

"Now that Wen Tiren has summoned you and the King of Chu, it is hard to say that he is not trying to scare the monkeys."

"It is better to stay at home. No matter how powerful Wen Tiren is, he would not dare to kill a prince in the fiefdom conferred by Taizu."

The beautiful woman who was scolded was very aggrieved.

She was worried that something would happen if Zhu Gongzhen went away.

She was also very afraid of the current His Majesty.

I heard that he killed tens of thousands of people in the capital as soon as he ascended the throne.

It's not a good thing for such ruthless people to target their family.

"It's okay, relax."

"Although it is dangerous to go there this time, I think you won't lose your life."

"Furthermore, my Zhou family has been doing good deeds all year round and has an excellent reputation in Kaifeng."

"These are all verifiable."

"Besides, Wen Tiren may not necessarily want to kill us to scare the monkeys."

"Let's not talk about whether he has this right. Even if he does, His Majesty must personally issue an order."

"Just stay at home and watch everyone at home and remember not to do anything illegal or disorderly during this period."

"If... something happens to me, let Jiong'er take charge of family affairs."

Zhu Gongzhen looked at his wife's worried eyes, shook his head and sighed.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

You can still live if you go, but if you don't go, you will probably die.

"Yes..."

"Then husband, be careful."

"I'm waiting for you at home."

Zhu Gongzhen's words made the beautiful woman even more worried.

He pinched his clothes for a while before whispering.

"it is good."

"You should also pay attention to your safety."

"I'm leaving!"

Zhu Gongzhen forced a smile and hugged the beautiful woman before getting into the carriage.

He headed towards Nanjing with twenty or thirty followers.

On the other side, Chu King Zhu Huakui also set out on the same day.

Both places are not too far from Nanjing, and we are in a hurry.

We arrived in Nanjing in less than two days.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhu Gongzhen noticed something was wrong.

First of all, the city of Nanjing has been completely under martial law, and people are only allowed to enter but not leave.

Then there were many more officers and soldiers on the streets.

He even saw the soldiers of the Baigan Army.

When we arrived at the Nanjing government office, the feeling that something was wrong became even stronger!

At this time, the Nanjing government office had been completely taken over by the Baigan Army, and entry and exit required several inspections.

"I've met King Zhou."

And just when Zhu Gongzhen got off the carriage and was about to enter the mansion.

A man in Feiyu uniform walked next to him and saluted him with a smile.

Looking at the Jin Yiwei in front of him who smelled faintly of blood, Zhu Gongzhen frowned slightly.

"you are?"

"Ergen in Xiatian."

"I have been waiting here for a long time, Your Majesty."

"King Chu, hurry up. He is waiting in the palace now."

"please."

Tian Ergeng introduced himself with a smile on his face.

Originally he was working in Suzhou City, but with the arrival of Dongchang, he was seconded to Nanjing by Wen Tiren.

Three thousand Jinyiwei spies also entered Nanjing.

Tian Ergeng...

Hearing this name, Zhu Gongzhen couldn't help but take a breath.

Is this one of the eagle dogs in His Majesty's hands?

It really doesn't look good.

"Excuse me."

Although he was a little frightened, as a descendant of Taizu, Zhu Gongzhen still held up his bones and said calmly.

How could he, as a member of the royal family, lose his grace in front of these people.

Tian Ergeng was not angry when he saw this. He walked in front and led the way respectfully.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, Zhu Gongzhen smelled a strong smell of blood.

I turned around and saw, sure enough!

There were several corpses hanging in the small square next to them, all of them without heads.

"this..."

"Why did so many people die?"

Zhu Gongzhen, a prince in a greenhouse, had never seen this scene before, and he almost sat on the ground in fright.

He quickly asked Tian Ergeng.

Tian Ergen glanced and explained with a grin.

"Back to your lord, those people are all famous local corrupt officials."

"There are a lot of lives on our hands."

"There is basically no need to wait for punishment for such a person. Master Wen ordered that he be beheaded and placed at the city gate as a warning."

Wen Tiren has not been idle in the past two days. He asked Jin Yiwei to capture a few examples and kill them on the spot.

It was considered as a warning to all officials in Nanjing.

"Corrupt officials..."

Zhu Gongzhen murmured in a low voice, his mood having fallen to the bottom.

He could already feel the chill on his neck, and the government office gate in front of him looked like an abyss, making it difficult for him to move his legs.

"Your Majesty, please."

"It's cold outside, but don't catch a cold."

Tian Ergen saw Zhu Gongzhen's expression in his eyes.

I couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Although these people are of Taizu bloodline just like His Majesty.

But there is a huge difference between means and cruelty.

Shaking his head, Tian Ergeng urged him.

"what!"

"okay..."

After coming back to his senses, Zhu Gongzhen nodded in a panic, not daring to look aside.

He quickly followed Tian Ergen into the main hall.

"Master Wen, King Zhou has arrived."

After entering the government office, I finally no longer had to look at the horrific corpse.

But the atmosphere inside is even more depressing than outside.

Wen Tiren was seen sitting at the top of the table, with a bright yellow sword on the table.

Below, Chu King Zhu Huakui was sitting there with a dark face, his palms trembling slightly as if he had been stimulated.

"The lower official Wen Tiren has met the King of Zhou."

"Thank you, King Zhou, for attending the appointment despite your busy schedule."

"Please take a seat."

Wen Tiren, who was looking at the book, heard the sound and looked up at Zhu Huakui.

Then he raised his hand and motioned for Zhu Gongzhen to sit wherever he wanted.

Next to him, Wen Tiren left the palace door after sending Zhu Gongzhu in, and closed the door by the way.

Zhu Gongzhen nodded, looked around and then found a seat to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Zhu Huakui speak.

"Master Wen, since King Zhou is also here, you can talk."

"Why did you call us here?"

"What does it mean to be in danger of death!"

"We are all descendants of Taizu, but you can kill us!"

These words made Zhu Gongzhen, who had just sat down, panic instantly!

No, what happened?

I've just arrived. Can someone help me explain this?

Why is there a danger of death!

Involuntarily, Zhu Gongzhen turned his head and looked at Wen Tiren.

His eyes were full of questions.

"The ancestor of the King of Chu is the sixth son of Taizu, so the subordinates naturally know this."

"But I'm not here to scare you."

"Although you are descendants of Taizu, you will still be punished if you make mistakes."

"Especially now that the Legalists are in power in the court, you must have heard something they say."

"Then the emperor breaks the law and the people are equally guilty."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is like this, do you think Legalism will let you go if you make mistakes?"

Wen Tiren ignored Zhu Gongzhen's eyes and took a sip from the teacup.

After drinking, he said calmly.

"No...what on earth is going on."

"I was an honest person in Kaifeng. I even helped the victims when I had nothing to do."

"Your Majesty will not cause trouble for me."

Zhu Gongzhen clenched his fists and couldn't bear it anymore.

Open your mouth to free yourself.

How could he lose his head if he didn't do anything bad?
