Chapter 8: Cut off the iron mouth and die immediately

 The Qinhuai River has been a prosperous place of smoke and willows since ancient times.

The melodious sound of the piano came from a painted boat.

Zhu Xi listened to the music with a sad face, accompanied by his consort Li Qi.

Li Qi is the son of Li Shanchang. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many brothers, he is the closest to Zhu Fang.

"Your Highness, I thought about you all the time in the cell. Your Highness finally came back from the domain, and tonight I have prepared songs, dances, water and wine for His Highness!"

Li Qi opened the folding fan in his hand, and there was a picture of "Tang Daughter Leaving the Bath" on it, which reflected Li Qi's fair face.

But Zhu Xi was obviously not in that mood.

I just got out of prison today, and I should have celebrated it, but thinking about having to go back tomorrow, I immediately felt depressed.

Although Zhang Feng is in prison, he wants to be happy outside.

"Your Highness is in a bad mood?" Li Qi could tell. Zhu Ping didn't touch the food in front of him and just drank.

Zhu Jing nodded and said: "I met a strange man in prison. He is a truly immortal figure. There is a way to save my Ming Dynasty and destroy Bei Yuan. Alas..."

Zhu Xi sighed as he spoke: "But my father doesn't seem to be very interested. Tomorrow I will be asked to squat in prison again, and I don't know how many days I will have to squat in."

Li Qi frowned slightly, why was he sent to prison again? Zhu Ping probably said the wrong thing again, about a strange person, etc. Li Qi didn't care at all. After all, Zhu Ping's character was like this, maybe someone

If you brag, he will mistake it for the truth.

"It turns out that His Highness is afraid of having to go to the cell again. Don't worry, Your Highness. I brought something good to His Highness. I guarantee that Your Highness will not be bored when he goes to the cell."

Li Qi smiled flatteringly.

In addition to Zhang Feng, what else can make you not bored in prison?

Zhu Xi looked over curiously.

"What a good thing, brother-in-law, please take it out and take a look at it."

Zhu Xiang's curiosity was clearly grasped by Li Qi.

Li Qi approached and took out a book from his arms.

"Book?" There is a question mark written on Zhu Xi's forehead. What's so good about a book? It's better to listen to Zhang Feng telling stories, "Forget about books, my head hurts when I read books."

"Your Highness, this is not a book, this is a painting." Li Qi took out a picture album, "Your Highness, does he know that there was a banned book called "Jianxian Xinhua" three years ago?"

"Jian Deng News"!

When Zhu Xi heard the title of the book, his eyes lit up. Good books are not famous, but erotic books are spread thousands of miles.

"That is a good book. I had people search for it at that time, and there are also some supplementary editions."

Zhu Xi looked at the name in the album.

Li Qi nodded towards Zhu Xi.

"Your Highness, that's right. This picture album is based on certain scenes in the book, and it's called "Light-cut Night Talk"!"

Zhu Feng's heart moved. This picture album is good. He put it away and took it to share with Zhang Feng.

The singing voice came from the boat, the sound was clear, sweet and moving.

After playing for a long time, I was full of wine and meat, and it was already midnight.

Zhu Xi also drank too much at this moment: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, that Tianshi Zhang... well, I can't tell you too much, he is a god anyway!"

Hearing that Zhu Feng mentioned Zhang Feng in prison again tonight, Li Qi paid a little attention, but still didn't take it seriously.

The two of them felt that it was almost done, so they got off the boat and prepared to go back.

As soon as we got off the boat, a boy came over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort, I just learned the latest news that Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, passed away early yesterday morning in Qingzhou."

After hearing the news and being blown by the night wind, Zhu Xiang shivered with a "Master Horse" move.

They don't have much friendship with Wu Liang, but they often get together with Wu Liang's son Wu Gao.

Li Qi couldn't help but sigh: "The Marquis of Jiangyin left as soon as he said so. I heard Brother Mingyuan say before that the Marquis of Jiangyin always took the lead in battles. He was hit by thirty-six arrows and still didn't take a step back, so he also left many hidden wounds.

Now it may be a hidden injury."

Wu Liang's son Wu Gao, whose courtesy name is Mingyuan, is also used to being called by Li Qi.

Zhu Xiang shivered and became more awake.

That's not what he was thinking about, but Zhu Feng had read Zhang Feng's case file and knew that Zhang Feng was straight-forward and told the date of Wu Liang's death.

Zhu Fang hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Yesterday, yesterday I was released from prison. What was the date yesterday?"

"Your Highness, yesterday was November 26th."

The boy didn't dare to neglect him. He felt that Zhu Ping had drunk too much wine and had forgotten the date, so he quickly told him.

Zhu Xi took a breath of air!

Stunned!

Right, right.

Twenty-six days, one day is not too much, one day is not enough, and one day is not bad!

He is really dead!

……

The Imperial Palace, there is still half a stick of incense before the court time.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already gotten up, with two documents in front of him.

"Really dead? Is this impossible?"

During the day, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to Qingzhou to inquire about the situation. Before he arrived in Qingzhou, he met a messenger halfway and learned that Wu Liang was dead.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a copy of the news of Wu Liang's death.

According to normal circumstances, if Wu Liang dies, then it will be enough to let his son Wu Gao be the Jiangyin Marquis.

If the funeral is held here in Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang can go there to pay his respects.

But today Zhu Yuanzhang read Zhang Feng’s case file.

Understand Zhang Feng’s situation.

Zhang Feng's crime was to deceive the public with his evil words and curse Jiangyin Hou and Qichun Hou to die early. The dates were even marked by Wu Liang.

"Wu Liang, Wu Liang, we have said before that you are our Wu Qi."

"But it would be better for you to die sooner or later, but you should die early in the morning on the 26th."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat and could not spit it out.

Is this demon really so amazing?

Then what he said about the year 276 of the Ming Dynasty may be true?

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again, how could it be possible? Even if Liu Bowen was alive, he wouldn't be able to do this.

"National statistics, meteorology, Beiyuan, Tatars...why are they connected together, or are they really closely related?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth boredly.

In the end, I could only put down this idea temporarily and pick up another document.

This was sent by Mao Xiang in the middle of the night.

Here are the specific circumstances of Zhang Feng.

After opening it, I saw it read: Zhang Feng, an orphan, from Xuanmiao Temple in the eastern suburbs. There are only two people in the Taoist temple. Zhang Feng is a disciple of Taoist Master Xugu, the master of the temple. Mr. Xu Gu died of illness last month. In order to maintain the livelihood of the Taoist temple,

Zhang Feng personally went out to set up a fortune-telling stall. He claimed to be able to distinguish the yin and yang, dawn and feng shui, and predict good and bad luck. There were three thousand volumes of Taoist books in the temple, and there was no other. According to another investigation, in the seventh year of Hongwu and the beginning of the eighth year of Hongwu, Chengyibo often went there.

Xuanmiao Guan is both a teacher and a friend of Taoist Master Xu Gu. He once said that if Zhang Feng obtained the true biography of Xu Gu, he would become a land god in the future!

Zhu Yuanzhang read the information returned by Mao Xiang's investigation bit by bit.

Read until the last sentence.

"Liu Ji was there at that time." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

Liu Bowen left in April of the eighth year of his reign in Hongwu.

At that time, he retired and returned to his hometown, but because of Hu Weiyong's constant remarks and various slanders, Liu Bowen finally had no choice but to come to the capital and stay with Zhu Yuanzhang to show that he was loyal and would not do anything wrong.

At that time, Liu Bowen was depressed, and his home happened to be close to Xuanmiao Temple, so he went there often. When he saw Zhang Feng's cleverness, he complimented him casually, but Zhang Feng used it to brag.
