Chapter 372: Disaster Victims’ Petition(2/2)

I haven’t waited for Zhu Xi to react.

Zhu Yunxi had already stood up, and the chair beneath him crashed to the ground.

In just this moment, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were full of indifference and his face was gloomy.

Zhu Xi opened his mouth blankly and looked at Zhu Yunxi.

"Come here!"

Zhu Yunxi gave a low drink.

Soon, a group of Jin Yiwei who had been preparing to attack rushed into the palace outside the palace.

Zhu Yunxi fiercely waved his robe, glanced sideways at the still dazed Zhu Xi, and snorted coldly: "My clan member Zhou Fan has been involved in many crimes for many years. The case involves two bureaus in Henan Province. You and I will take him to Kaifeng."

He will be imprisoned in the Manfu Prison together with the current prisoners of Henan Province, waiting for the imperial court’s decision to deal with him.”

Suddenly, Zhu Xi, who was imprisoned, was completely confused.

He blinked and looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing in front of him, blocking the light. He had completely lost the ability to think.

As promised, aren’t you an ally?

Why is it that now, my noble clan lord has become a prisoner?

The script agreed upon in Lanyang County that day was not written like this.

However, Zhu Yunxi did not stop and continued to say in a cold voice: "The Prince of Zhou's Mansion will detain all the clan members and family members where they are. Without Gu's warrant documents, no one can come near!"

A group of royal guards agreed coldly.

In just the blink of an eye, Zhou Wang Zhu Rui had his arms held by two royal guards.

At this time, Zhu Xi finally reacted and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a dumbfounded face.

"Brother Xi!"

"Brother Hei, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yunxi's face was cold, his brows were furrowed, and he waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Zhu Rui was stunned for a moment, and his chest rose and fell several times.

However, these Jin Yiwei didn't care that he was a prince of the Ming Dynasty. It was not uncommon for him to be able to capture a vassal king. After returning to the Jin Yiwei to command the Yamen, he might even be able to show off in front of his colleagues.

Said: How does it feel to capture the king?

He smiled and replied: "You are just a human being."

Zhu Rui's head felt dizzy for a while, and he did not dare to struggle under the Jin Yiwei's grasp. He waited until he was led out of the hall.

The night wind outside blew into Zhu Zhu's face, causing him to suddenly pause, and his eyes suddenly glowed with a shining luster.

He turned his head sharply and began to roar into the hall.

"Zhu Yunxi! You are ungrateful!"

"I, the king, swear that I will never die with you!"

"When I enter the capital, I will give you a hard time in front of the old man."

"What authority do you have? You dare to detain your clan members and kill your clan kings? Who gave you the courage!"

"This king is innocent."

"This king is innocent."

"I have shed blood for the Ming Dynasty! I have been injured for the Ming Dynasty!"

"I am not guilty!"

Outside the palace, Zhu Xi's curses and roars could be heard everywhere in the dark night.

Zhu Yunxi in the hall smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.

"The ones who ride on horses are human beings!"

Soon.

In the Song Palace and Prince Zhou's Mansion, the news that Prince Zhou Zhu of the Ming Dynasty was being questioned and imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion Prison spread out from the darkness in the blink of an eye, and spread to all parts of Kaifeng Mansion.

In the second half of the night, there was a continuous loud noise in the back house of Prince Zhou's palace. Countless royal family members and clan members began to curse and roar, and their voices could not calm down for a long time.

However, Zhu Yunxi, who had been busy all night and made a fire for half the night, took a comfortable bath, fully clothed and lay on the soft bed.

In the darkness, the sounds of movement outside the house did not stop.

In Kaifeng Mansion tonight, probably not many people can really sleep.

Lying in the dark night, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were bright and he could not sleep for a long time. With the firelight outside the window, his eyes looked at the carved beams on the roof.

"I don't know how Yingtian City is doing now."

"It's probably time for the girls to show their pregnancy..."

"What will the fourth uncle think when he receives the transfer order? What will he do when the Nine-Border Army and Horses move south?"

"..."

That night, Zhu Yunxi thought about many things, but he no longer thought about Henan Road.

The night is like rain, and the stars are twinkling.

When the sun rose, orange-red dyed the hinterland of the Central Plains. Zhu Yunxi, who had not closed his eyes for a few moments, was awakened by the noise.

Zhu Gaochi had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and was wearing yesterday's robe, indicating that he had not rested all night. He hugged several documents and followed Zhu Yunxi, who was washing himself, while puffing out his breath.

"Everyone didn't sleep a wink all night, and finally sorted out the affairs of the prisoners in the two yamen of Henan Province and the yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Henan Province has indeed done all the things issued by the imperial court in the past two years. It's just... that it goes against what we hoped to see."

"I still admire that under such circumstances, Henan Province has been able to pay the summer and autumn taxes in full in the past two years, and there has even been a considerable increase."

"Just thinking about it carefully, the people of Henan Province have probably been more miserable than in previous years in the past two years."

"Then this involves the collapse of the Yellow River embankment and the disaster for the people."

"According to what Gao Guang said last night, they entered the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng Prefecture in disguise and did not see any trace of the victims. According to the explanation given by Kaifeng Prefecture at the time, the victims were working for relief and cleaning up after the flood.

Silt up, restore acres, resume production, and repair houses."

"However, Gao Guang and the others came here with the Jinyiwei people. The Jinyiwei they sent out also walked around many places at that time, and indeed found that the victims were working for relief."

"Furthermore, in accordance with the imperial decree, Kaifeng Prefecture released sufficient grain to help the people."

"So I think that even if all the officials from the two divisions of Henan Province and the yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture are arrested now, things on Henan Province may still be complicated and the future will be treacherous."

Zhu Yunxi wiped his face and put the towel on the edge of the basin.

Turn around and open your arms to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi sighed helplessly, took the jade belt on the side and tied it on the man in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi said: "When you came here, what was the current situation in the city?"

Zhu Gaochi picked up the documents that he had just put aside, picked out one and handed it to Zhu Yunxi: "This was recognized by Yu Ma and the Jin Yiwei people. They are all gentry from Kaifeng Mansion who showed up last night.

People."

Zhu Yunxi held the document in his hand, opened a corner and then closed it again: "What is the situation outside the city now?"

"We sealed the city gate last night, and no one can go in or out, but I think the news in the city last night was released by someone who wanted to. It's just that there is no response yet, but if our guess is correct, there may be action soon.



"After all, it is impossible for people like them to be willing to surrender without mercy. Even if they are put to death, they will still think of fighting to the death."

Zhu Gaochi looked a little tired and worried, making people feel that he might collapse at any time.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "These are all likely to happen. Yu Ma's people have also entered the city now, and Tang Bi's Yulin Guards and Horses will also arrive today. Unless the people in Henan Province really risk their lives, what else can they do?"

The brothers discussed quietly.

At this time, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside.

After being detained in the Kaifeng government office for many days, he was finally released last night. He was transferred to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen of Henan Province overnight. Gao Guang, who was temporarily in charge of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, led a group of people to Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi who were confused.

He hurriedly walked in under his gaze.

Gao Gaoguang's face looked like Zhu Gaochi's at this moment, looking extremely haggard.

Gao Gaoguang seemed to have forgotten to say hello.

When he arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi, he directly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, thousands of victims have gathered outside the city to petition."

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and said: "The victims of the disaster are petitioning?"

Gao Guang's face looked a little ugly, and he nodded and said: "The victims of the disaster must petition for the Henan Province officials to be acquitted."
