The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

"Did they have any plot to recruit King Yan?"

In the general office of the Fusi of Beizhen, Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was sitting in the lobby drinking tea.

Song Zhong replied: "Lord Yu, at present, only two guards have been interrogated, and they only said that they would stay in Yingtianfu to inquire about the news, and there is no other substance. The others were being interrogated, and the son of the Fu family had just come out of the prison, and it was said that he had whipped the kid a few times.

"Did he react?"

"My lord, listening to the thin monkey, this kid is very tough, but he just snorted twice, but he didn't complain of pain. A

brocade-clothed guard walked into the lobby: "Your Excellency, the third prince of the Duke of Wei asks to see you." He said he was begging the adults to release a prisoner.

Song Zhong motioned for the guards to retreat, and said to Jiang Xuan: "My lord, when the subordinates arrested Zheng Hai, the third lady of the Xu family was next to him, and it is estimated that this Xu Zengshou came to intercede for the guards of King Yan, probably for the sake of Zheng Hai, this kid."

Jiang Xuan put down the teacup, stood up, paced back and forth in front of the table for two steps, and said with a smile: "We have given the face of the Yingguo Mansion, and we will also give the face of the Wei Mansion." You take him to prison and see who he wants, and as for what the outcome is, we'll just give him a hint.

Song Zhong took Xu Zengshou into the prison of Fusi in Beizhen, opened the closed fence wooden doors, and passed through the deep prison lanes.

Xu Zengshou looked around, seemingly curious about the infamous Beizhen Fusi prison. It was the first time he had entered such a gloomy prison, and he looked twice at every cell door and cell.

is also a noble son, Xu Zengshou and Fu Rang are different from each other. The Xu family's family education was stricter, and Xu Zengshou rarely came into contact with slightly dark military institutions such as Jinyiwei. He was more trained in the army, received the discipline of his father and brother, and knew less about torture.

"Let's talk about it, what ulterior motives do you have for staying in Yingtian?" The

long-faced thin Jinyiwei held a hammer in one hand and a steel nail in the other, and the other end of the nail was against the back of Ge San's hand.

"Please, don't use the torture instruments, I said, you just ask, I... I'll tell you everything I know. Ge San was tied to a wooden chair, and tears flowed out of his eyes in fright.

Song Zhong walked in front and coughed twice.

The long-faced thin man and the fat man with a full face who were interrogating stopped and looked at the comer.

Zheng Hai followed the gaze of the two and saw Song Zhong walking in from outside the door with a handsome young man about twenty years old.

The young man had a heroic face, with a gentle smile on his face, and was smiling at the two brocade guards, one thin and one fat, giving people a warm and cordial feeling.

Song Zhong respectfully hugged his fists at the young man and asked, "Third Master Xu, which of them do you want to find?" I can arrange for you to chat alone for a while.

Zheng Hai looked at the handsome young man and said secretly: This person is the third son of the Xu family, so he is Xu Zengshou. Could it be that he came here to stand up for his brother-in-law King Yan and rescue us out?

Zheng Hai turned his face to look at Lu Xing, who was also tied up, and saw Lu Xing looking at Xu Zengshou with a blank expression, obviously Lu Xing did not know Xu Zengshou.

"Gongzi Xu, are you here to save us? We are the guards of King Yan, and my brother Lu Zhen is the commander of the Yan Guards of His Royal Highness King Yan. Take me out, my brother and I will definitely repay you!" Lu Xing, who was tied to the cross, struggled and asked Xu Zengshou for help.

Xu Zengshou glanced at everyone a few times, touched his head, and was a little hesitant. He looked at Song Zhong and said with some embarrassment: "This Lord of Thousand Households, I want to find a guard with a bag on his body.

Mr. Song nodded and asked loudly, "The three of you, who has a bag on him?" "

I have!" However, it was taken away by Fu Rang just now. Zheng Hai replied loudly.

Lu Xing on the side also hurriedly shouted: "The bag taken away by Fu Gongzi is mine, if you don't believe it, you can ask Ge San, he has seen it."

Ge San, who was tied to the wooden chair, was stunned, turned his head to look at

Lu Xing, and then said: "Yes, that bag is Lu Xing's, I can prove it!" Xu Zengshou looked at Zheng Hai, then at Lu Xing, and asked: "Whose bag is it?" Xu Zengshou looked

confused, obviously, he forgot the name of the person Xu Miaojin said, only remembered that the token was a bag.

"It's mine! It was given to me by Master Xu, saying that if there is any difficulty, you can use this as a basis to go to the Xu family to ask him for help!" Lu Xing preemptively answered Xu Zengshou's question.

Zheng Hai smiled coldly and retorted: "You are talking nonsense! That bag was obviously given

to me by Xiao Master Xu, and the word 'second' was embroidered on it!" "You are talking nonsense! It was given to me by Xiao Master Xu, with two mandarin ducks and lotus flowers embroidered on it. Lu Xing glared at Zheng Hai, with some smugness in his eyes.

Song Zhong stood aside and smiled, looking at Zheng Hai. One fat and one thin, the two Jinyi guards who were good at torture also smiled and groaned, looking at Xu Zengshou and the others.

Xu Zengshou looked embarrassed, looking at Zheng Hai for a while, and Lu Xing for a while. He was never sure who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Xu Zengshou smiled bitterly, looked at Song Zhong beside him, and asked, "Lord Qianhu

, can I take both of them away?" Song Zhong said: "Xu Sangongzi, they don't have any tips on them, I can't promise you to take any of them away." Or, go to the prison and take a look, there are two more in there, maybe the person you're looking for is in there. "

Really?" Xu Zengshou looked at Zheng Hai and Lu Xing with some suspicion, and followed the jailer to the prison.

Xu Zengshou went to the prison and looked at the two guards lying on the floor, they were covered in blood and dying. He sighed, gave up his attempt to go in and be questioned, and returned to the interrogation room.

Xu Zengshou looked at Zheng Hai and Lu Xing again, turned his head and asked Song Zhong: "Lord Qianhu, can I take one of them away?"

Song Zhong shook his head: "They are not the people that Xu Gongzi is looking for, besides, the people here are the people who are asked from above." If Xu Gongzi wants to save them, he can only find them. Xu Gongzi, do you understand?"

Xu Zengshou nodded and replied: "Thank you Qianhu, I will enter the palace and ask Qianhu to save their lives for the time being."

"Then son, you have to hurry up, this Beizhen Fusi's prison is no better than an ordinary prison cell, and dead people here are common. Song Zhong said softly.

Xu Zengshou clasped his fists and saluted Song Zhong and hurriedly walked out of the cell.

After Xu Zengshou left, a brocade guard walked in and whispered a few words in Song Zhong's ear.

A dimple appeared at the corner of Song Zhong's mouth, and he glanced at the three people who were tied up in a blur, and said coldly: "The three of you can only live one." Which of you is the first to tell the story of King Yan's plan to leave you in Yingtian, and whoever of you will survive first?"

"I said!" Lu Xing shouted.

"I say!" Ge San then shouted as well.

Zheng Hai listened to Song Zhong's words, his heart chuckled, and then he said: "King Yan, what we left us in Yingtian for..."

Song Zhong smiled and said, "The three of you can only live one, since you have said the same answer, then the three of you will duel! Kill the other two, it will be regarded as a vote to join the Jinyi Guard."

Song Zhong turned his head to his subordinates and said, "Put them in a cell, give each of them a dagger, and those who survive will be guarded in Jinyi!"
