Chapter 257 Already solved
"My nephew thinks that someone is afraid that Wang Ganju will implicate too many people, so he is using his family as a threat."
Zhu Ming spoke in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Zhu Di, not missing a single detail.
"On this side, Wang Ganju agreed to take all the blame, but on the other side, they were afraid that Wang Ganju's family would leak the news, so they simply went all out and killed him to silence him."
What Zhu Ming said was the same conclusion he and Zhu Yunhuan reached after discussing it.
But he did not say that he suspected Crown Princess Lu.
However, from beginning to end, Zhu Di's expression did not change. Only after Zhu Ming finished speaking did he nod thoughtfully.
"What you said does make some sense."
Zhu Di touched his chin and agreed with Zhu Ming's guess.
"These court officials protect each other. Maybe it's just as you guessed, nephew."
Following Zhu Ming's words, Zhu Di did not forget to look at him and asked again: "Then, who did it? Does my nephew have any clues?"
"No."
Zhu Ming shook his head in disappointment: "That person is very meticulous in his work, but we haven't found any news yet."
"Do you have any suspects? Tell Uncle Si and he will help you check it out?"
Seeing that Zhu Ming had not found any clues so far, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
This kid should be able to guess something.
"nor."
Zhu Ming shook his head again, lowered his eyes, and only looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
"All the clues are cut off here. I can't investigate further."
Zhu Ming said, pouring himself another glass of wine: "It's not that I can't find anything, I'm upset, so I came to visit you, Fourth Uncle."
Hearing Zhu Ming say this, Zhu Ming felt relieved and poured himself a glass of wine. Zhu Ming clinked glasses.
"Drink, make it your own home."
He drank the wine in his bowl and laughed a few more times.
"You helped us raise military funds, and the soldiers in the barracks are very grateful to you."
Zhu Di said this and was about to fill Zhu Ming's cup again.
This time, he really meant it.
And if Zhu Ming gets drunk, he won't have to bother her so much.
"Don't talk about these troubles, just drink today!"
As Zhu Di spoke, he clapped his hands, and several soldiers appeared outside the military camp, waiting respectfully.
"Bring some wine, my nephew and I will have a few more drinks."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, the soldiers retreated and laboriously carried a few jars of wine.
"Uncle Four, forget it if you're drunk."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming couldn't help but smile awkwardly and put down the wine bowl in his hand: "I just got engaged to Xu Miaojin. If I get drunk, she will blame me."
Although Xu Miaojin did not come, she still helped Zhu Ming at this time.
"Okay, okay, I almost forgot that you're almost going to be the groom."
Zhu Di smiled casually, picked up the wine jar, filled it up for himself, and did not forget to tease Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming could only smile awkwardly again.
"If you don't drink, I will."
As Zhu Di spoke, he began to drink bowl after bowl, completely ignoring the looks from others.
In the blink of an eye, he had finished two jars of wine.
Zhu Di's face also began to turn red.
"Uncle, you can't drink anymore."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming was afraid that Zhu Di was drunk and he would not be able to talk to him anymore, so he quickly began to dissuade him.
"I'm glad that my nephew can come to see me."
Zhu Di pushed Zhu Ming aside with his hand and drank another bowl of wine.
Zhu Ming was just a teenager, and his physical strength was no match for Zhu Di, a general who was good at charging into battle. He could only watch from the side.
Not long after, Zhu Di seemed to be unconscious, lying on the table, and speaking unclearly.
"King Yan?"
A surprised voice came from behind Zhu Ming, causing him to look back.
I saw a bald monk in a black robe running towards me in a panic from the big tent.
"Who is this?"
Zhu Ming looked at the bald monk and his heart sank.
Without anyone introducing him, he knew that this was Zhu Di's first strategist, the black-clad prime minister Yao Guangxiao.
He is here. It seems that I won’t get any results today.
Yao Guangxiao ran past Zhu Ming. Although his movements were flustered, Zhu Ming did not see any panic in his eyes after a quick glance.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming also stood up, bowed to the drunk Zhu Di, and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, take care. I won't see you off."
Yao Guangxiao responded casually, walked to Zhu Di and helped him up.
Until Zhu Ming walked out of the tent, his figure could no longer be seen.
"Your Highness Prince Yan, he is gone."
Yao Guangxiao then spoke in a deep voice into Zhu Di's ear.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di, who was drunk and unconscious just now, immediately sobered up, sat up straight, and did not look drunk at all.
He has been acting since he started drinking, just to prevent Zhu Ming from finding out anything.
"Let's all go back."
Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and drove away the surrounding soldiers.
Naturally, the others did not dare to disobey the order of Yao Guangxiao, the second person under the King of Yan, and retreated.
"How did you come?"
Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Ming came in a hurry, but he did not send anyone to tell Yao Guangxiao.
"When I saw the little grandson of the emperor come in just now, I knew this would happen."
Yao Guangxiao just responded calmly and turned to look in the direction where Zhu Ming left.
"What is he here for?"
He frowned with some vigilance. This little prince must have come with bad intentions.
When he passed by Zhu Ming just now, he only took a glance at Zhu Ming and he knew that the visitor had no good intentions.
"It's still because of the Crown Princess."
Zhu Di shook his head. This kid was smarter than he thought.
"I guess so."
Yao Guangxiao nodded. This was exactly what he thought.
“What are you going to do next?”
Now, Zhu Di had dealt with what Zhu Ming had come to inquire about.
But what is Zhu Di’s plan for the next step?
"do nothing."
Zhu Di laughed and poured himself another bowl of wine.
Although he helped the Crown Princess deal with Zhu Ming, it was only because Zhu Ming was so powerful.
He didn't want to kill Zhu Ming completely. Often the one who benefits the most is the one who dies the last.
Zhu Ming and the Crown Princess fought and both suffered losses, so he could gain the advantage.
"How are the people who went to Hunan?"
After drinking, Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao seriously and asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Ming came here to test his opinion, so he must have noticed something.
Even if he can deal with it now, if he doesn't deal with those people cleanly, there will always be more trouble.
"It's been resolved, don't worry."
Yao Guangxiao nodded affirmatively. He never left any loopholes in his work.
