Chapter 91: Intrigue and Ambition
In the wing room of the East Factory, the imperial doctor treated Jiang Xia's injuries and left just now. Jiang Xia suffered all internal injuries. After taking two sacred medicines from the palace, he finally recovered. He may not be able to fight with others for a month and must recuperate well.
Shortly after the imperial doctor left, Liu Jin came into the wing room. After seeing Jiang Xia, Liu Jin smiled and asked, "How? Doctor Hu is the chief of the imperial hospital in the palace. Do you feel better after he has been treated?"
"Thank you for your care, my father-in-law, Jiang Xia feels much better." Jiang Xia said much better, but his tone is still a little weak.
Liu Jin nodded. Before Jiang Xia could ask, he took the initiative to start talking: "This morning, Liu Qingyun, the youngest son of the Muyang Marquis' Mansion, was killed, and died at the back door of the Muyang Marquis's Marquis's back door, and his head was also cut off.
At this time, the Marquis of Muyang reported to the emperor and asked the emperor to make the decision for him. The emperor asked our family and the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter together, so our family still sent a spy from the East Factory to investigate everywhere, and finally found the Wang family mansion that he had just seen you.
At that time, the spies from the East Factory secretly entered the Wang family's residence and found that it was the Tianji Society in the capital. The Tianji Society had been recruiting masters everywhere in the world under the name of "rebellion". When we learned that it was the Tianji Society's main hall, we arranged for people to start arresting them.
At night, we were ready to take action, but Zhong Bin released the "Five-Colored Star Rain" in Xiaoyao Villa and called the Jinyiwei to support him. Soon, the people from the East Factory in Xiaoyao Villa came to inform us that you had been kidnapped, and then the spy outside the Wang family's mansion also came to inform us that you had been kidnapped, so our family sent someone to save you."
"Thank you, father-in-law. If you hadn't arrived in time, Jiang Xia would have died long ago. Jiang Xia would never forget his kindness to save his life." Jiang Xia said sincerely.
Liu Jin smiled slightly, "You are from my Dongchang, you are my own family. How could our family watch something happen to us? Don't worry, from now on, you don't care about this matter anymore. Our family will handle it easily and will not let you suffer any grievances."
"Then I'll bother my father-in-law." Jiang Xia said.
"You have a good rest. Let's go and see how they interrogated."
After saying that, Liu Jin stood up and left.
Walking out of the wing where Jiangxia was resting, there were two people from the East Factory waiting for Liu Jin outside the door. These two are the second of the eighteen famous big heads of the East Factory, Feiying and Silver Hook.
Feiying is tall and burly, with a hooked nose, and is good at the body techniques of "Eagle Claws" and "Eight Eight Exhibitions". Silver hook is short and elegant. When he was young, he was a master of swordsmanship, but later his right hand palm was cut off, so he asked a skilled craftsman to install a steel hook on his right hand. Because he was sinister and cruel in his behavior, people from the outside often said that he was the "soul-catching messenger" of the East Factory, so he was given the title of Silver hook.
Both of them were Liu Jin's right-hand man. Now that they saw Liu Jin coming out, they met together. Feiying said to Liu Jin: "Father-in-law, Zhu Houxi wants to see you."
Liu Jin said coldly: "That idiot, I really don't understand why Zhu Youze sent him to the capital to do such an important matter. He messed up all the things."
After saying that, Liu Jin took a deep breath and said, "Let Zhu Houxi wait first, let's go to the study to talk."
"Yes." Feiying and Silver Hook responded in unison.
Jiang Xia, who was lying in the room, suddenly changed her face and her eyes were filled with thought.
I believe Liu Jin never thought that Jiang Xia’s five senses are different from ordinary people, and his eyesight and hearing are extremely sensitive. With him and Feiying, most people must not hear what Yin Hook said, but Jiang Xia could hear clearly in the room.
Jiang Xia can analyze a lot of things from Liu Jin's words. First of all, everything Liu Jin said to him just now must be fake. It is obvious that Liu Jin not only knows Zhu Houxi, but also has contacts with Zhu Houxi's father Zhu Youxu.
The name Zhu Youze may not be very familiar to ordinary people, and not many people have heard of the name Zhu Houxi. However, Zhu Youze's second son Zhu Houcheng may be well-known to everyone who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty. He is the most complex combination of emperors of the Ming Dynasty, including the title of Emperor Shizong, who is the name of several names of Emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wuzong Zhu Houzhao died of wind and cold infection, and because he had no successors, Zhu Houcan was selected from the nearby branches to inherit the throne.
When future generations look at this history, they always doubt that Wu Zong is martial and strong, how could it be that wind and cold can kill him? Now it seems that there are indeed ghosts here. It seems that Zhu Youze had already started to make arrangements very early, with the purpose of killing Wu Zong, and then as a close branch of the royal family, he could take the throne.
According to the original history, Zhu Youze was undoubtedly successful. And from Liu Jin's words just now, it can be seen that Liu Jin had also mixed in this and made a lot of efforts in killing Zhu Houzhao to succeed Shizong.
Jiang Xia took a deep breath, and he sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had accidentally fallen into a whirlpool again, and this time he probably fought several times in the gates of hell.
Indeed, what Liu Jin said to Feiying and Yin Hook in the study happened to prove Jiang Xia’s guess.
"That idiot Zhu Houxi, don't he know what big thing he is going to do this time when he comes to the capital? His style of conduct is so high-profile. It would be fine if he killed the young master of the Hou family of Muyang, why would he provoke Jiang Xia?" Liu Jin looked angry, feeling angry that he was not fighting.
"Man, how to deal with Zhu Houxi now? The Jinyiwei people arrested the others in the mansion and would definitely be severely punished. If anyone in them couldn't bear it, they would probably be completely finished at that time." Yin Gou said.
Feiying frowned and thought for a while, trying to suggest: "However, we kill Jiang Xia, and then send someone to notify the people who were captured by the Jinyiwei to hold on and notify them. After storing it, we will find a way to kill people one by one. The whole thing may be covered up."
Liu Jin shook his head, "Jiang Xia must not be killed. If Jiang Xia dies, the emperor will definitely pursue it to the end. At that time, no one who was arrested by the Jinyiwei will survive. Knowing that he is going to die, someone will inevitably tell the truth about the matter.
There is only one way now, which is to push Zhu Houxi out and resist everything. He said that he was bewitched by He Qilong, and accidentally took He Qilong as his teacher and mistakenly joined the Tianji Society.
We rushed to report to the emperor in front of the Jinyiwei and tried to let the emperor hand over the case to our Dongchang for handling. In this way, we can control all the matter, and Zhu Youze would just be guilty of ineffective discipline, and at most he would issue an imperial edict to reprimand him."
"Then wouldn't Zhu Houxi die if this happens?" Feiying said in surprise.
Liu Jin sneered and said, "It's better to die if you die, and you'll be over."
"Man, if this happens, Zhu Youze will be suspicious of the emperor. If he thinks about things again in the future..." Yin Gou said with a worried look on his face.
Liu Jin smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's okay. King Ning Zhu Chenhao sent someone to find our family. Although he didn't say it clearly, why don't we understand the meaning of the words? Zhu Youzhi just promised that after our family succeeded, he would give me a Jinshi out and file it in the cabinet as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. King Ning was much more generous, and his words imply that our family would be named king as long as they succeed. These people were all staring at the position of the Supreme Nine Five, and the conditions offered were high."
"It's a pity that they don't understand. My father-in-law has lofty ambitions and is also looking at the throne." Feiying continued to say with an opportunity.
Liu Jin snorted slightly and smiled faintly, "Whether the ministers of the cabinet or the king or the marquis are all slaves of the emperor? Only by sitting on the imperial chair and becoming the number one person in the world can he shine his ancestors and not be in vain to come to this world for a lifetime."
"I wish my father-in-law to achieve his wish as soon as possible." Feiying and Yin Hook said on their knees together.
Liu Jin laughed loudly. He sorted out his clothes and handed over the collar, and then straightened his gauze hat. "Flying Eagle, prepare the carriage, our family is going to rush to the leopard room right away."
"Yes." Feiying responded.
After understanding Liu Jin's conspiracy, Jiang Xia naturally didn't want to stay in this East Factory anymore. He had difficulty getting up from the bed and walked all the way to the East Factory lobby. Just as he was about to step out of the threshold of the lobby, Jiang Xia heard footsteps coming from behind, and then he heard Liu Jin's voice: "Jiang Xia, why don't you take a rest?"
Jiang Xia looked back at Liu Jin, bowed and said, "Dad, I am worried about someone who is in danger with me. I want to go back and see if she is safe."
"Haha. Easy and priceless treasures are rare. Okay, I'll send you back in a carriage." Liu Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Xia nodded, "Thank you, father-in-law."
After saying that, Liu Jin signaled Feiying to arrange someone.
After Feiying helped Jiang Xia out of the lobby, Yin Hook asked in a low voice beside Liu Jin: "Dadfather, do you think he will notice anything?"
Liu Jin shook his head and said, "It's impossible to realize something, but this guy is extremely smart and can't be trusted. If he can make me trust and use it completely for me, that would be great."
"Then should we find a few opportunities to test him?" Silver hook asked.
Liu Jin thought about it and said, "Let's discuss this matter later. The most urgent task is to solve the trouble caused by Zhu Houxi, that fool. You immediately send someone to pass on a flying pigeon to convey my meaning to Zhu Youzhi. I will go to the leopard room to meet the emperor now."
Feiying personally arranged a carriage for Jiang Xia to send him back to Xiaoyao Villa. Xiaoyao Villa added several times of manpower to guard inside and outside. After Jiang Xia got out of the carriage, Feiying said to him: "Good rest."
Jiang Xia nodded, and Feiying left in the carriage.
When he walked to the door of Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xialiang knew his identity and walked in. In the yard, Cui Rushuang and her master Li Jueqing, Cui Niannu, Li Dongyang, Jun Yang, Zhong Bin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Yong were all waiting there.
When they saw Jiang Xia, everyone stood up and showed joy.
A warm current suddenly flowed through Jiang Xia's heart. It turned out that before he knew it, he was no longer lonely in the Ming Dynasty.
