Xuzhou Prefecture Government Office.

Zhao Xingye looked at the backs of Zhao Xingbai and Zhao Xingyi riding away on horseback, and recalled the conversation that Zhao Yuguang had just had with Xuzhou prefect Fu Bisheng.

Finally reacted.

The suggestion he just made to leave Zhao Xingbai and Zhao Xingyi behind was just to make things more difficult for Zhao Yuguang.

He almost did something bad with good intentions!

"Prefect Fu, Vice Prefect Liu, now that the matter has been clarified and the memorial has been written and sent off!
Then I'll leave Huang Jun to you!
I hope you can get more information from Huang Jun!"

After saying this, Zhao Yuguang signaled the guards of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion to hand over the detained Huang Jun to the constables of Xuzhou prefectural government.

"Lord Zhao, Huang Jun is the commander of the garrison and the perpetrator of the assassination of Marquis Fu'an...

He was captured by you personally, so maybe it would be more appropriate for you to take care of him personally in the Marquis of Fu'an Mansion..."

Upon hearing what Zhao Yuguang said, Fu Bisheng immediately expressed his opposition.

At this point, Fu Bisheng realized how difficult it was to deal with top bosses like Zhao Yuguang.

It's not just the difference in experience, wisdom and status, but also the intelligence they know...

Intelligence gaps can often be fatal...

Just like just now, Fu Bisheng didn't react at first. Wudang's eldest disciple Zhuo Yihang was the legitimate son of the Zhuo family, a distinguished family...

The Zhuo family is one of the important supporters of the prince...

Only then was he "easily" persuaded by Zhao Yuguang and signed the joint memorial.

If he had realized the relationship between Zhuo Yihang and the Crown Prince earlier, Fu Bisheng would never have signed so easily and submitted a joint petition...

Now Zhao Yugang suddenly handed Huang Jun over to the prefectural government...

Who knows what's going on?
Now Fu Bisheng is almost on edge when facing Zhao Yugang...

Faced with Zhao Yuguang's request, Fu Bisheng's first reaction was to oppose!

“Prefect Fu, according to Ming Dynasty law, Huang Jun’s assassination of a feudal lord should be handled by the local authorities.

Because of Wu Ge'er, it was rash of me to intervene!

If they continue to detain people privately, they will inevitably be accused of bullying others, setting up a private court, seeking revenge, and deliberately targeting...

Therefore, I can only hand Huang Jun over to the local government!
In Xuzhou County Government, Magistrate Wu’s position is too low to suppress Huang Jun!
Therefore, we can only hand Huang Jun over to your prefectural government!"

Zhao Yugang explained why he wanted to hand Huang Jun over to the prefectural government office under Fu Bisheng.

When mentioning the Xuzhou County Government, Zhao Yugang turned his gaze to Wu Longyuan for a moment.

"Mr. Zhao is right!

The Xuzhou County government was understaffed and had weak defenses, and my subordinates had little influence.

Huang Jun is not only the commander of the garrison, with deep roots in the garrison, but also the head of the Huang family in the neighboring Suzhou Prefecture.

Once Huang Jun's loyalists come to the county government to intercept and rescue Huang Jun, no matter if they are the garrison troops or the Huang family, it will be difficult for us to hold on with the power of the county government...

I can only trouble my superiors and the prefectural government!"

Wu Longyuan understood the meaning of Zhao Yuguang's eyes and immediately took over the conversation.

Although Wu Longyuan didn’t know what Zhao Yuguang’s purpose was!
He is not like Fu Bisheng, who is knowledgeable and has already realized the secret connection between Wudang Sect's eldest disciple Zhuo Yihang and the prince.

But Wu Longyuan knew that Zhao Yuguang’s plan was definitely not simple.

It’s better to hide if you can!
Although speaking up at this time would advance Zhao Yuguang's plan, it would also temporarily pull Wu Longyuan himself out of the vortex.

Even if Wu Longyuan lacks intelligence.

But it can also be realized that Huang Jun, who assassinated Marquis Fu'an, has now become the center of the vortex.

It’s better to stay away from Huang Jun if possible!
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.

Even if that fellow Taoist is your immediate superior!

Same thing!
In the face of huge danger and turmoil, there is no such thing as boss-subordinate relationship.

Besides, Wu Longyuan and Fu Bisheng had never had a good relationship.

Just like Zhu Chengwu's previous life, except for those flatterers, there are almost no subordinates who have a good relationship with their superiors!

Even those who flatter their superiors are mostly only on good terms with them on the surface, but they secretly criticize their superiors in private.
Zhao Yuguang and Wu Longyuan's consecutive words immediately forced Fu Bisheng into a corner.

With all his life's status and wisdom, he didn't even know how to refute or shirk it for a moment.

At this moment, Fu Bisheng suddenly saw Liu Zhengyi standing beside him out of the corner of his eye.

"Fortunately, Liu Zhengyi was kept here before..."

Fu Bisheng secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Captain Liu, since Lord Zhao and the Marquis of Fu'an want to avoid suspicion, it is not convenient for them to directly guard Huang Jun, and Magistrate Wu does not have the ability to detain Huang Jun.

Then Huang Jun will be detained by your patrol department for the time being!"

Fu Bisheng looked at Liu Zhengyi and said so.

Old Lord Zhao could cite the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Longyuan could say that the county government was not capable enough, and Fu Bisheng could naturally push the task of detaining Huang Jun to Liu Zhengyi.

In Xuzhou Prefecture, Fu Bisheng, as the prefect, was in charge of the overall situation.

Liu Zhengyi, the co-magistrate of the government office and chief of the patrol department, was specifically responsible for arresting bandits and maintaining public order.

Moreover, Liu Zhengyi is one of the only two top-notch masters in the Xuzhou officialdom, so it is natural for him to be responsible for detaining Huang Jun.

At the same time, in response to Wu Longyuan's evasion, Fu Bisheng did not forget to fight back, mocking Wu Longyuan and describing him as "incompetent".

In the officialdom and workplace, a boss’s direct comment that a subordinate is “incompetent” is already a severe criticism!
This…

Liu Zhengyi looked up at Fu Bisheng in astonishment.

So you sell him out?

Liu Zhengyi wanted to refute, but he couldn't.

Because everything Fu Bisheng said made sense.

From what he saw at the scene, it seemed that his police station was the most suitable person to detain Huang Jun.

But, suitable is suitable.

The Police Department detained Huang Jun. Wasn't this dragging him, a spectator, into the center of the vortex?

Liu Zhengyi didn't expect that his momentary curiosity would end up getting himself involved.

When it comes to officialdom, you really must not be careless!

“By the way, although I have removed Huang Jun’s jaw and limbs, he himself is unable to escape.

But according to the investigation and speculation of the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, he should have helpers, and perhaps his accomplices have not left yet and are hiding in Xuzhou City.

You must be careful not to let Huang Jun escape!"

Zhao Yuguang ignored the secret confrontation and calculations between Fu Bisheng and Liu Zhengyi.

After giving these instructions, he left with the people from the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion and the Zhao family.

The memorial has been written and sent to the capital.

Huang Jun has also been transferred to the Xuzhou government office.

The butterfly Zhao Yuguang had already flapped its wings, and the first breeze had already begun to blow.

Now all Zhao Yuguang has to do is wait.

Wait until time passes and this breeze develops into a strong hurricane or even a typhoon.

Looking at the receding backs of Zhao Yuguang, the guards of Marquis Fu'an's mansion, and the rest of the Zhao family members who were attending Marquis Fu'an's wedding banquet, Fu Bisheng, Liu Zhengyi, Wu Longyuan and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Old Lord Zhao just dropped a bomb and then left it alone!
"Your Excellency, Chief Constable Liu, I will take my leave first!"

Wu Longyuan was quick-witted and knew that he couldn't stay here for long.

After apologizing, he left in a hurry with a few trusted subordinates who followed him.

It's as if there is a flood or a ferocious beast here.

"This County Magistrate Wu..."

Looking at Wu Longyuan who left in a hurry, Fu Bisheng felt like there was a breath stuck in his throat that he had to spit out, but he couldn't.

Zhao Yuguang went to the county government office first!
Moreover, Wu Longyuan had just "backstabbed" the prefectural government, leaving Fu Bisheng unable to say many words of refusal.

Now, Wu Longyuan has actually escaped from the center of the vortex.

This made Fu Bisheng feel very uncomfortable.

But at the same time, Fu Bisheng knew that Wu Longyuan could not be blamed for all this.

Wulong Yuan was also an innocent victim.

If Fu Bisheng were to put himself in Wu Longyuan's position, he would most likely make the same choice as Wu Longyuan.

There is only one mastermind behind today's incident, and that is Old Marquis Zhao Yuguang.

However, Lord Zhao's status and strength are too high...

Oh, and there is another culprit!
Fu Bisheng turned his gaze to Huang Jun, who was being detained and supported by the constables of the government office.

There is anger and sorrow in his eyes.

Fu Bisheng still doesn't understand why Huang Jungui, the head of the military officers of Xuzhou Prefecture and one of the backbones of the Zhao faction, betrayed his own class, family, and interest groups and stabbed the Zhao family in the back to assassinate Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu.

it's good now!

Not only was Huang Jun imprisoned, he also dragged the entire Xuzhou Prefecture into the vortex. Thinking of this, Fu Bisheng turned his head and looked at Liu Zhengyi.

Coincidentally, at this moment Liu Zhengyi turned around and looked at Fu Bisheng.

Liu Zhengyi snorted coldly at Fu Bisheng, expressing his dissatisfaction with Fu Bisheng for dragging him into the center of the vortex.

But then, they both looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Because both of them knew in their hearts that no matter whether Fu Bisheng spoke up or not, after the assassination of the chief military officer of Xuzhou Prefecture by the feudal lord of Xuzhou Prefecture was exposed and he was caught.

Fu Bisheng, the head of the civil servants in Xuzhou Prefecture, and Liu Zhengyi, the second-in-command in charge of public security, can no longer completely escape the vortex.

"Commander Huang, why bother?"

Finally, Liu Zhengyi turned to look at Huang Jun, who was like a puddle of mud, and asked this question.

After all, Huang Jun has been working in the Xuzhou officialdom for many years. Many people know Huang Jun and some have even received favors from Huang Jun.

So even though Huang Jun had almost been convicted of the serious crime of assassinating Marquis Fu'an, after being transferred to the constables of the prefectural yamen, Huang Jun was still treated much better by the constables than by the guards of Marquis Fu'an's mansion.

At least I can speak with some effort.

"You do not understand!

I do not regret!"

Huang Jun looked at his former colleague Liu Zhengyi and answered with difficulty.

If Fu Bisheng asked the question, Huang Junzhen, who had already prepared himself for death, might not answer.

But it was Liu Zhengyi who asked the questions.

As the only two top-notch masters in Xuzhou officialdom, although Huang Jun and Liu Zhengyi belong to the civil and military ranks respectively, and although they often fight with each other because of the interest groups they represent, Huang Jun and Liu Zhengyi have a friendship of mutual respect.

"No regrets?!"

Hearing Huang Jun's struggling answer, Liu Zhengyi didn't say anything yet, but Fu Bisheng was so angry that he shouted out on the spot.

Huang Jun no longer regretted it, but his lack of regret caused great trouble to the entire Xuzhou officialdom!

"Captain Liu, take the prisoner Huang Jun away and keep him under strict guard. No accidents can happen!"

Fu Bisheng gave an order and left angrily.

Fu Bisheng's grief for Huang Jun and his sympathy for Huang Jun's miserable plight immediately disappeared with Huang Jun's answer.

Fortunately, Fu Bisheng still remembered what Zhao Yuguang said, that Huang Jun might have accomplices in the city.

Plus the garrison, the Huang family...

Fu Bisheng remained rational and did not forget to instruct Liu Zhengyi to "keep a close watch on him."

A hidden place in Xuzhou city.

Huang Jun's accomplices, who were reminded by Zhao Yuguang and guarded against by the prefectural government, were discussing whether to rescue Huang Jun.

"Yuxiang, what do you think? Should we go rescue Brother Huang Jun?"

"Sister Qinyu, you decide! If you say go, we'll go! If you say don't go, we won't go!"

"Brother Huang Jun came out to protect us, and took the initiative to admit that he was the one who assassinated Marquis Fu'an... It is reasonable for us to go!"

"But Sister Qin Yu, don't forget that old man Zhao Yugang is still in the city!

With our combined strength, are we capable of rescuing the people?

Moreover, if it weren't for that fool Huang Jun who secretly intimidated and stopped us, the two of us could have joined forces to kill Marquis Fu'an and leave at the gate of Xuzhou City, and how could Marquis Fu'an have escaped with his life!

Now he's pretending to be a good guy and taking the blame for us. Who needs him to do this?"

"Yuxiang, Brother Huang Jun is different from us! He has received too much favor from the Zhao family, and he has had a good personal relationship with Marquis Fu'an over the years! Repaying the favor first and then taking revenge, saving Marquis Fu'an's life is understandable.

Originally, I was planning to give Brother Huang Jun some face.

Retreat at the city gate first!
At night, we will launch a surprise attack on Marquis Fu'an's mansion and completely eliminate Marquis Fu'an.

Unexpectedly, that old immortal Zhao just arrived!

Not only did it make our subsequent plans come to naught, but it also used the Thousand Mile Soul Lock to track us. If it weren't for Brother Huang Jun using his secret technique and taking the initiative to endure the soul lock tracking of that old immortal Zhao Yugang, how could we be here safely discussing whether to rescue Brother Huang Jun?"

"Forget it, forget it! Sister Qinyu, whatever you say is fine!
I just can’t accept that we have paid so much and suffered so much to gain this strength, and now we have not yet avenged our great vengeance…”

"Revenge must be taken!
But the favor must be repaid!

Otherwise, what is the difference between us and that treacherous villain Zhao Yuguang!

My arch enemy is right in front of me, I will not seek death!
The wedding of Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an, is imminent. With his status and position as the Marquis of Fu'an, and now that he has been assassinated, in addition to the Zhao family, there will definitely be important people from the Zhu family coming...

Under the mutual restraint, the villain Zhao Yuguang will no longer be able to act recklessly in Xuzhou City as he does now!
At that time, you and I will take advantage of the occasion of Marquis Fu'an's wedding to raid the government office, and there is a high probability that we can rescue Brother Huang Jun and retreat safely! "

"Sister Qinyu, since you have made up your mind, then I will listen to you!
But, Sister Qinyu, you care so much about that fool Huang Jun, are you still unable to let him go, you…"

"Yuxiang! Brother Huang Jun is married and has children, and from the moment my father, eldest brother and mother died, I no longer have the mood or right to have love.

My only goal in this life is to kill King Ming, skin Zhao Yugang, that treacherous villain, and settle accounts with those traitors who stabbed my Xuzhou Marquisate one by one...

Especially the Li family!
What Li family Qilinzi, he is nothing but a waste cultivated by using my Xuzhou Marquis Mansion's rare treasure - Bingpo after backstabbing my Xuzhou Marquis Mansion! "

"Too!
From the moment we chose this path, the happiness of ordinary women was destined to be far away from us!"

……

At the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Zhao Yuguang and Zhu Chengwu are also investigating the real murderer.

Although Zhao Yuguang openly acknowledged that Huang Jun was the murderer who assassinated Zhu Chengwu, he also blamed the assassination on the Wudang Sect and the prince.

But how could Zhao Yuguang, who had experienced many wars and stood firm in the court for decades, not notice the "flaw" of Huang Jun taking the blame?

Everything is just a matter of turning a blind eye and going with the flow!
However, the real murderer still needs to be found.

After all, he was Zhu Chengwu's mortal enemy who almost killed him.

“It’s not that Huang Jun was wronged!
Since Huang Jun has stepped forward to take the blame, the real murderer must be related to Huang Jun, and may be someone close to Huang Jun!
Huang Jun dared to stab the Zhao family in the back. Since he wants to die, I will grant his wish!"

“Grandfather, Huang Jun is a talented person!
Over the years, you have been working well with me!

It is because of him that I have been able to live so smoothly in Xuzhou Prefecture these years!"

“He’s certainly a talent!
Otherwise, why would I accept him, train him, and even promote him to the position of being in charge of the military affairs of an entire prefecture?

But it's because he is a talent!
Therefore, after he betrayed me, I can’t forgive him even more!
Otherwise, if they follow our example, how can we control the people below us?"

Zhao Yuguang understood the meaning of Zhu Chengwu's words and immediately stopped him from pleading for mercy.

"Hey!

Huang Jun is usually a philanderer and doesn't care much about his family and children.

I didn't expect that behind his indifference to everything, he actually has such a loving and righteous side.

He actually stood up and took the blame for this big thing that could easily lead to the annihilation of the entire clan!

It seems that even after knowing each other for nearly ten years, I still don’t understand him!
But, Grandfather, isn't it too obvious for you to bluntly attribute the incident to the Crown Prince?"

Since Zhao Yuguang refused to give Huang Jun a chance to live, Zhu Chengwu had nothing more to say!

Zhu Chengwu is self-aware.

Although he is a reincarnated person, Zhu Chengwu was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

Average EQ and average IQ.

Compared to other people in this world, Zhu Chengwu only has a little knowledge brought about by the era of information explosion.

In terms of wisdom, Zhu Chengwu really doesn’t think he is much better than ordinary people in this world.

What's more, the person in front of him is Zhao Yuguang, a top figure in the world.

Zhu Chengwu believes that their judgments and decisions have their own reasons.

Being as wise as a demon is what Zhu Chengwu desires, but it is also what Zhu Chengwu does not have.

In this case, the self-aware Zhu Chengwu had already decided to leave professional matters to professionals.

Leave the planning and scheming to Zhao Yuguang and his people!
This world is a world of martial arts.

What Zhu Chengwu needs to do is to grasp the bull's nose of "martial arts" and practice martial arts well!
Zhu Chengwu likes to practice martial arts, and he also has the jade book to help him.

As long as Zhu Chengwu concentrates on practicing martial arts, and when he is strong enough, all the plans and calculations will be nothing but waste paper that will be shattered with a single poke.

Before Zhu Chengwu gains strong enough power, he should just quietly be a simple, slightly clever, obedient martial artist who devotes all his energy to practicing martial arts!
“There is no time!

The king is diligent in government affairs and neglects martial arts. His health has been getting worse in recent years!

If we don't act now, we might just have to watch the prince inherit the throne!"

Zhao Yuguang explained to Zhu Chengwu why he wanted to confront the prince.

"Father's body..."

“I can still hold on now!
But how long it can last, no one can tell!
And this is a good opportunity. Huang Jun is well-known as the backbone of our Zhao family!

He came forward and admitted that he had stabbed you...

His betrayal would inevitably be suspected by the court officials of being secretly instigated by someone in a very high position. Otherwise, how could Huang Jun betray, how could he dare to betray?

This time, although it is a bit forced to put the blame on the prince, it makes sense logically!

Those smart people in the court might even believe our unfounded lies!
Therefore, our most urgent task now is to not let Huang Jun change his mind!

It would be best if Huang Jun could never speak again!
You, please don't be soft-hearted because of your previous friendship with Huang Jun!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the corner of Zhao Yuguang's eyes.

Being able to become one of the most outstanding commanders of the Ming Dynasty and to stay in the Ming court for decades, Zhao Yuguang has never been a soft-hearted person.
