Chapter 752: Arresting Zhu Zi (1)

Zhu Bai rode back to his palace on a horse. When he came to the hall, he saw a team of Jinyiwei guards guarding outside. This made him frown. Although Zhu Bai didn't hate Jinyiwei, he didn't like them very much.

"Prince, Your Majesty actually sent the Jinyiwei to issue an order. This is very rare!" Zhou Bozheng saw the Jinyiwei in front of the hall and immediately warned Zhu Bai.

"No matter how long the Jinyiwei's hands are, they dare not reach our palace. In addition, although the Jinyiwei's orders are not common, they are not without them. Some urgent government affairs will still use Jinyiwei." He Changshi next to him spoke again, looking at Zhou Bozheng as he spoke, as if he was very contemptuous of his shouting.

Zhou Bozheng was also a little annoyed and was about to refute it, but the Jinyiwei also saw Zhu Bai and the others. A middle-aged man with a medium figure quickly stepped forward and saluted Zhu Bai and said, "Tao Ming, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, pays homage to His Highness Xiang!"

"Tao Qianhu, don't be polite. Where is Your Majesty's imperial decree?" Zhu Bo didn't want to deal with the Jinyiwei, so he asked directly after meeting.

"Report to Your Highness, Your Majesty has given you an order, so..." Tao Qianhu said and looked at He Changshi and the others behind Zhu Bo, and even their eyes remained on Zhou Bozheng for a moment.

"Receive the order alone?" Zhu Bo frowned again when he heard this, feeling a little trouble, but he was not easy to resist the order, so he had to let Zhou Bozheng and the others stay outside the hall, and then enter the hall with Tao Qianhu himself.

"Can you take it out now?" Zhu Bai asked impatiently at this time.

"Of course, but before reading the imperial edict, there is still a letter here that needs to be read by Your Highness in person!" Tao Qianhu smiled again, and said as he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai was also stunned when he saw the letter because he found that the letter had been opened and the envelope was blank. He didn't know who wrote it to whom?

However, Zhu Bai still took the letter and opened it. At first he felt confused because it seemed like a letter from brothers. However, when he saw the content behind, he was shocked, especially when he saw the signature behind, his eyes widened and his expression was incredible.

"Your Highness, this letter is the correspondence between Zhou Bozheng, the chief minister of your mansion, and his younger brother Zhou Zhongzheng. According to their letter, they are working for a prince, monitoring and threatening a court official, and they are also related to the case of the assassination of the prince-consort that year!" Tao Qianhu saw that Zhu Bo had seen it almost, so he took the opportunity to speak.

"Are you sure this is a letter written by Zhou Bozheng?" Zhu Bo quickly reacted, but still said incredible. If this was really written by Zhou Bozheng, then the prince in his letter must have been referring to him, but the key point is that Zhu Bo is really wronged, and he didn't even know that Zhou Bozheng has a younger brother.

"If your highness doesn't believe it, you can compare your handwriting. Moreover, his younger brother is already under our surveillance and can be caught and confronted Zhou Bozheng at any time." Tao Qianhu smiled again.

"This is wrong. I have no idea about the things he wrote in his letter. How could he do these things in my name?" Zhu Bai was also a little panicked at this time. Although the letter did not explain clearly, he could not bear the matter of what Tao Qianhu said just now, especially the assassination of Li Jie, if it was confirmed, he would not be able to withstand it.

"Your Highness, don't panic. This prince is not referring to you. In fact, we have found out that someone wants to give you a lawsuit to Bo Zhou!" Tao Qianhu explained immediately. He dared not keep his complacent in front of Zhu Bo.

"Who is it?" Zhu Bai immediately said angrily when he heard this. The veins on his forehead jumped high. He never dreamed that someone would dare to put his ideas on his head. If he knew who this person was, he would never let the other party go!

Tao Qianhu looked around and then lowered his voice: "We have found out that the person behind Zhou Bozheng is the King of Tan!"

"Brother Tsai! Are you sure?" Zhu Bai once again showed an incredible look when he heard this answer. After all, he and Zhu Zi have a very good relationship, so no matter what, he never expected that it was this starling who plotted against him behind his back.

"It's very certain that we have been investigating this matter for quite a long time. We have always suspected that it was you, Prince, but some time ago, the prince consort convinced the other party to betray a key figure, which made us know the real culprit behind the scenes." Tao Qianhu replied again. In order to increase credibility, he also brought Li Jie out.

Sure enough, Zhu Bai immediately believed Li Jie's name when he heard it, and then he said to Tao Qianhu again with a gloomy face: "Tell me about this matter in detail!"

Tao Qianhu didn't dare to neglect it. After all, he needed the help of King Xiang next, so he explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail, especially focusing on the character Yang Shiqi.

The more Zhu Bo heard, his face became ugly. Although Zhu Zi did not rebel openly, the crime he committed was almost the same as the crime he committed. Especially the interception of Li Jie, he was involved in it. He was simply bold. Afterwards, he wanted to transfer the crime to himself, which made Zhu Bo even more angry.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. Now the evidence is conclusive, and it's just that the King of Tan is captured back to the capital and questioned him!" Tao Qianhu said again at last.

Zhu Bai took a long breath when he heard this, as if he had calmed down. Finally, he turned his head and looked at the Jinyiwei outside the hall, and then said, "So are you here to catch the King of Tan this time?"

Zhu Bai just called Zhu Zi the starling, but now he was so angry that he has changed his name. I guess in his heart, he will never be able to regard Zhu Zi as his elder brother in his life.

"Your Majesty, you look down on us so much. The King of Tan also has thousands of elite soldiers. With just us, even if you have the imperial edict from Your Majesty, you may not be sure to capture the King of Tan. So Your Majesty wants to ask you to assist the court and arrest the King of Tan to the case!" Tao Qianhu said and finally took out the imperial edict and handed it to Zhu Bo.

Zhu Bo stood up straight when he saw the imperial edict, tidied up and took it open. The content on it was very simple, and he ordered him to arrest King Zhu Zi of Tan with the Jinyiwei to arrest him and bring him to justice. In addition, he also had to ensure the safety of King Tan and there was no accident.

After reading the imperial edict, Zhu Bai also understood the reason why Tao Qianhu and the others came to find him. He immediately pondered for a moment before asking the other party: "How do you plan to capture the King of Tan? You can't let me order the troops and kill directly to Changsha, right?"
