Chapter five hundred and eighty first advanced chess pieces
Li Jie has been observing Zhu Yunwen's various reactions from the beginning. Although theoretically, Zhu Yunwen has cut off contact with the outside world, so he should be ignorant of what happened outside world, Li Jie is still a little worried, so he deliberately talks about Nanjing to test Zhu Yunwen's reaction.
Judging from Zhu Yunwen's shocked expression, Li Jie's suspicion should be redundant. Zhu Yunwen did know nothing about external affairs, so he had such a big reaction when he heard about the official being transferred to an official.
However, the more shocked Zhu Yunwen was, the more calm Li Jie was. He savored the tea again, and then looked at Zhu Yunwen quietly. Zhu Yunwen quickly woke up from the shock, and then frowned and asked Li Jie, "Aren't you worried that doing this will make the world angry?"
"It's not that it will, but it has already caused the world to be furious. Not long after I left Beijing, the fleet encountered an attack on the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei was prepared and changed the canal in Yangzhou in advance. As a result, someone intercepted us on the canal. So I had to abandon my boat and ride a horse and rushed to Fengyang to take refuge. As a result, I almost encountered an ambush at the gate of Fengyang City. If someone hadn't reported the news, I might have died there."
As Li Jie told him, the expression on Zhu Yunwen's face became more and more shocked. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Who is so bold that he dares to send someone to attack you?"
"Wang Shuying, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing!" Li Jie did not go around the corner and directly expressed Wang Shuying's name.
As a result, Zhu Yunwen also turned pale when he heard this. Obviously, he knew Wang Shuying's identity. After all, after Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's death, Wang Shuying was his last trump card, but now he has no trump card, which means that he will never be able to go out again in his life.
Li Jie seemed to think it was not enough, so he spoke again: "Wang Shuying really invested enough money in order to kill me. For example, he used an important chess piece buried in Fengyang, that is, the city gate guard Gu Wei. According to the information I received, this Gu Wei was actually prepared by him to rescue you, Your Highness. Unfortunately, Gu Wei committed suicide because of his crime."
Every time Li Jie said something, Zhu Yunwen's face looked ugly, especially when he heard that Gu Wei, an important piece, had died, which made him even more angry. However, when he saw Li Jie's expression of smiling, he finally sat down slowly and drank the tea in his mouth, as if he was using this to suppress the anger in his chest.
"I know that Your Highness must have called Wang Shuying a fool in his heart, but Your Highness should not forget that Wang Shuying is just one of the masterminds of this matter. Behind him are all those who have touched my interests, that is, those who supported you to escape to Nanjing before. In fact, for them, you are just a tool to maintain their interests. When their interests are really touched, of course, they still focus on their own interests." Li Jie smiled again and said.
Although Li Jie's words were a bit confusing, Zhu Yunwen's intelligence quickly understood what he meant. Indeed, those people put interests first. If they conflict with their interests, they will of course focus on their own interests and regard themselves as a piece that can be abandoned.
In fact, Zhu Yunwen's situation is the same as that of Gu Wei. Both of them are just chess pieces of the interest class represented by Wang Shuying and others. However, Zhu Yunwen's chess piece is more advanced, and they are willing to make some heavy bets on Zhu Yunwen, but chess pieces are chess pieces. For chess players, they are options that can be abandoned.
Zhu Yunwen slowly calmed down, and finally he breathed a long sigh before saying again: "You are right. I am just a tool for them to maintain their own interests. Once I find that my tool is not easy to use, I will naturally abandon it. But I really can't understand why they have to act irresistible and have to kill you?"
"This is very simple. The person who reported to me was Wang Shuying's confidant. According to him, Wang Shuying and others have regarded me as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. They think that as long as I get rid of me, even if it can make His Majesty angry, they will still need to help rule the Ming Dynasty in the future, so sooner or later they will make a comeback."
"This kind of idea is correct. What you do is a stair tax and a transfer from an official. It is simply a matter of digging their roots. If they don't resist, you may be able to completely hollow out their foundation for at most twenty years, and then they will have no chance at all."
When Zhu Yunwen spoke at the end, he actually showed a gloating expression. For him now, whether it is Li Jie or the people behind Wang Shuying, it is a good thing for him to be unlucky.
"Yes, I was too careless before. I didn't expect them to be anxious and attack me directly. As a result, they almost succeeded. However, with this lesson, they would not have any chance in the future!"
When Li Jie spoke at the end, there was a bit of murderous aura in his eyes. This time he was very embarrassed. He changed his path several times but was caught up. He almost died at the gate of Fengyang City. Except when he had just traveled through time, he had not felt the threat of death so intuitively for a long time.
"I believe that they dare to provoke you and fail to get rid of you in one go. They will definitely face your endless revenge in the future. With your temperament, they will definitely not give them any chance to fight back, right?"
Zhu Yunwen completely let go at this time, and instead became more free and easy than before. After all, after giving up the hope of escaping here, he became an outsider. No matter how powerful Li Jie and the other party were in trouble, it would not affect him.
At this time, Li Jie suddenly calmed down his anger, then looked at Zhu Yunwen for a while and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is really free and easy. Are you really willing to live here for the rest of your life?"
"So what if I'm not willing to give up? I won't talk about the previous incident. This time Wang Shuying and the others did such a stupid thing again. Although I don't know about it, my brother will definitely be more suspicious of me, and the guards outside the door will be more strict. Since that's the case, I might as well accept my destiny early."
