In a secret room in Duke Cheng’s Mansion, there was no window on three sides, and the only door was closed firmly, and there was no light at all.

Zhu Chunchen didn't know how long he had been locked up, so he could only guess the roughness of the consumption of the oil lamp. However, this roughness is very unreliable, because a rich man like him who has lived a good life since childhood has never cared about how long a bowl of oil can last, such a simple and meticulous matter.

——Isn’t the prince going to let me go? Why did he lock me up here?

Zhu Chunchen curled up in the corner of the wall, his fingers couldn't help trembling, and he was uneasy.

Bang!

The door of the secret room finally opened, and a sturdy figure turned his back to the fire outside, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while.

"Duke Cheng." The strong man shouted, stepped into the door, and it was Wu Changchun who had a nap.

"Is it because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhu Chunchen rolled over and hugged Wu Changchun's thigh, his voice filled with hope.

Wu Changchun kicked him away, and asked the soldiers behind him to carry the torture instruments in, and placed them in front of Zhu Chunchen one by one, and explained: "This is a cannon. Once it is printed on the Duke's body, it will be dry and scorched skin. You can't survive or die. This is a bamboo stick. You will be inserted into the cracks of the Duke's nails later..."

"Heroic Man! Jun Ye!" Zhu Chunchen was so scared that his lips trembled: "Crown Prince, Your Highness, he can't treat me like this! I have donated all my property! Your Highness!" Zhu Chunchen roared hysterically, as if Zhu Cilang could really hear it.

Wu Changchun waited for him to howl and his throat was hoarse, and then said, "Your Highness is kind and ruthless. He originally wanted to let you go, but you hide your property and do not repay you. Alas, you should know that Your Highness is wise and hates others to fool him the most. Isn't this your own fault?"

"I, I know I'm wrong!" When Zhu Chunchen knew that he had hope of survival, he certainly had to prepare for a comeback in the future. How could he hand over all his wealth? Who knew that the prince actually discovered that it was most likely those servants who betrayed him to seek a way out.

"It's still time to know that you're wrong now." Wu Changchun said coldly: "You still have family, sons and grandsons. A person with a head of 10,000 taels, how many are you willing to buy? The more you pay, the more blood you will have. If you dare to deceive Your Highness, not only will you die, but you will not even be the title of "Duke Chengguo" will no longer exist in the world."

Zhu Chunchen was not originally a direct descendant of Duke Chengguo. His cousin Zhu Dingchen had no descendants, so his father inherited the title and then passed it to him. After truly savoring the life of Duke, he realized how different the partial houses and the direct descendants were. It was impossible for relatives from other houses to occupy this "Duke Chengguo".

Not to mention letting the removal of the ban on this Duke of China happen to me.

Zhu Chunchen even thought that if the prince was determined to remove the title of Duke of the country, he would take out what unbearable sewage would pour on him.

"I'll buy it!" Zhu Chunchen shouted, "I still have silver in my house, and some are silver!"

Wu Changchun turned around, fiddled with the soldering iron with one hand, and made a slap sound while knocking on the charcoal. He couldn't help but smirk: It was so simple that he cheated out, it was really relaxing and comfortable.

Zhu Chunchen was afraid of missing this last opportunity, so he reported all the gold, silver and jewelry buried in the outer house and the village. He was afraid that it would not be enough, and even told the location of his life hole, where nearly 10,000 taels of jewelry were thrown into the golden well there.

Wu Changchun ordered people to record one by one, report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and said to Zhu Chunchen: "You will definitely not be able to live out today. You have been honest and have all been asked to live for a good identity for future generations. Where can I hide the money?"

"This time there is really nothing!" Zhu Chunchen cried.

Wu Changchun nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for my grandfather, how do you want to leave?"

"Please give me some fun." Zhu Chunchen knew that he would inevitably die, so he fell to the ground and cried loudly.

Wu Changchun looked at him with a little pity, stepped out, and said to the two soldiers at the door: "It's time."

When the two of them heard this, they entered, and immediately came out holding a lime box and opened the lid for Wu Changchun to see.

Inside is Zhu Chunchen's head.

Wu Changchun nodded and ordered: "Get away." He went straight to repay His Highness the Crown Prince.

...

The house of Dingguo Duke was brightly lit and could not sleep all night. All Ding Jian’s wives in the house were tunics, as if they were facing a great enemy. Those who didn’t know thought they were preventing the plague, but those who knew understood that they were guarding the guards of the East Palace.

"This Eastern Palace is too cruel! Are you not afraid of the incident when you slaughter the ministers like this?" Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Ding, walked hard in the small study room. He was about to hit the bookshelf and turned around, and then he slashed the floor tiles.

Descendants of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Duke Ding.

As a Ming Dynasty person, if anyone doesn't know Xu Da, he would either be a mountain villager who has not left the deep valley for decades or a child fool.

Xu Da, a figure like a military god in the Ming Dynasty, was awarded the title of King of Zhongshan. His eldest son Xu Huizu inherited the Duke of Wei and his youngest son Xu Zengshou was awarded the Duke of Ding. The Duke of Wei stayed in Nanjing and served as the garrison of Nanjing for several generations. The Duke of Ding and his family took root in Beijing with Chengzu moving the capital to Beijing and was also a dealer who participated in the Beijing camp taking turns to serve as a banker.

Xu Yunzhen was covered with Xu Da's blood, and he knew the ills of the Beijing camp. Of course, he was worried about the changes encountered by Duke Cheng's clan. He was a person who did not believe in destiny, so he naturally did not believe in legends such as the plague god. He immediately pointed to the origin and revealed the truth about the East Palace slaughtering under the influence of the plague.

Being able to see the truth does not mean that those who are extremely talented are extremely talented. More importantly, they can use the truth to avoid misfortune.

Xu Yunzhen summoned the staff of the mansion, and many of them were talented and talented by him with high expectations. However, in the face of this thunderous blow from the East Palace, they were silent and could not think of any idea of ​​curbing them.

"What should I do!" Xu Yunzhen almost yelled, "What if our Duke Dingguo Mansion is surrounded tonight!"

Everyone was still silent.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "Mr., there is a way to treat the symptoms and root causes in this matter. You should first guard the mansion and not let the guards of the East Palace enter the door. As long as you stay for three or five days, there will be no dead people in the mansion. Then the plague theory will naturally be broken, and Your Majesty will definitely not let the East Palace come in chaos."

When Xu Yunzhen heard this, he suddenly realized something and looked surprised on his face: "Sir, this is really true! Duke Cheng Guo was ruined and led to a wolf into the house. Without the plague, it would become a plague. What else can I teach me? Let's go quickly!"

The man looked embarrassed and said, "The student's qualifications are rude, so he can only think of this method of treating symptoms. As for the method of treating the root cause, the prince should ask the talented person for advice."

Xu Yunzhen stepped forward and held the man's arm and said excitedly: "There are many fair seats, but now only the teacher can make decisions. Why is he so humble? Please teach me!"

"This..." The man finally raised his head and said, "Master, if you say you have a talented person in the house, isn't there a person in the house? Why did you give up the pearl and put on the fish's eyes?"

"Oh? I am ashamed. I don't know that there is such a talented person who lives in a humble house. I would like to ask for advice from you." Xu Yunzhen said respectfully.
