Chapter 485: Too Much
It is said that children are debts owed by their parents, but the relationship between the Crown Princess and Lord Zhu is clearly different.
It is not that Lord Zhu owes the Crown Princess and will repay the debt in this life.
On the contrary, Lord Zhu is the debtor.
After listening to Nanny Song, Old Lady Sheng put Zhu Dingxing's death aside. There
are so many people in the Zhu Mansion, and apart from the deceased Lord Zhu, Old Lady Sheng is only familiar with Zhu Xuntao.
Old Lady Sheng can't have too many emotions about the death of the hated Zhu Dingxing.
As long as this matter has no impact on Zhu Xuntao, Old Lady Sheng can pretend that it never happened.
The reason why Old Lady Sheng was so relieved was because she had not yet heard
what had happened to the top of Zhu Xuntao's carriage when he returned to the mansion today.
The mansion's servant was shocked when he saw it, and quickly said that he would pull out all the arrows,
repair the top of the carriage, and throw the arrows far away, so that Zhu Xuntao would never see them again.
Hearing this, Zhu Xuntao stopped the servant immediately:
"These arrows must be pulled out, but don't throw them away."
"How much iron is needed to shoot so many arrows?"
"Do you know how to recycle them?" "
Now these arrows belong to our mansion. Check them carefully to see if they are good to use."
"No problem, use them directly. If there is a problem, repair them and continue to use them."
Zhu Xuntao felt that the things that others used to kill themselves must be very useful.
For example, the last time, the incense with the same name as Qiuyue, although it was harmful, it was said to be hard to find.
So when he heard Qiuyue say that the big box of incense was gone, Zhu Xuntao felt very distressed.
She and her little cub were almost killed, but she didn't get any compensation. She suffered a huge loss and felt sorry for the baby in her belly.
When she has a chance to catch this person in the future,
she must ask for double the compensation for this loss, especially the mental loss, so that she can save some money for her baby as soon as possible.
Zhu Xuntao accidentally missed a large sum of money because of Mi Xiang's incident.
After being assassinated, Zhu Xuntao said that she wanted to make the most of it
. Such a cart of arrows must be kept for future use, which should save a lot of expenses for the Marquis' Mansion. Things are just as Zhu Xuntao thought. How could the person who wanted to take her life cut corners on the weapons?
After inspection by the craftsmen of the Marquis' Mansion, these arrows were well-forged and made of good iron.
The arrows were also well made, without any sloppiness.
Occasionally, there were a few damaged ones, which could be repaired and made into good weapons again.
In this way, the arrows on the top of the carriage were simply free weapons, and the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion got a great bargain.
Not only can these arrows win, but they are definitely good tools for archery masters!
Every move of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion was naturally watched by someone. The news that Zhu Dingxing was assassinated and died on the same day spread like wildfire, and many people in the capital knew about it.
Then Zhu Xuntao returned to the Zhu Mansion to take a last look at Zhu Dingxing while he was still alive.
On the way, he was ambushed and finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion with a cart full of arrows.
When the people of the capital suddenly saw the special "shape" of the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, they all stood there in a daze, staring at the carriage driving towards them and then passing by.
"This, this..."
"Now the carriages used by officials and nobles have adopted this special appearance?"
What kind of trend is this, and why have they never heard of it?
Good or not, they don't know, but it is definitely scary to look at.
So, which master of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion has such a special hobby, which makes people laugh and cry.
Until everyone heard that Zhu Dingxing and Zhu Xuntao were assassinated one after another, and the strange-shaped carriage they saw was the proof that Zhu Xuntao had suffered a bloody storm, the people of the capital were angry and cursed the evil people who murdered Zhu Xuntao.
All the talents of the Yong Dynasty relied on Zhu Xuntao's cowpox to successfully fight against the disaster of smallpox.
The smallpox disaster, which used to kill people in cities, was finally controlled in double digits and ended everything.
It was only a few days after the smallpox incident, and some people were so ungrateful that they ignored how they saved their lives and then attacked their benefactors. They really deserved to be struck by lightning!
If they hadn't seen these evil people assassinating the Crown Prince's wife,
they would have served as meat shields for the Crown Prince's wife even at the cost of their own lives!
In the end, all the anger of everyone was dispelled by Zhu Xuntao's practice of making full use of everything.
Some people think Zhu Xuntao is eccentric, while others say that Zhu Xuntao is a heretic. What's the point of keeping such an unlucky thing? He won't be afraid of bad luck.
As for the "black hand" who was almost drowned by the spit of the people in the capital
, he was the one who was angry to death by Zhu Xuntao. When he attacked Zhu Dingxing, he didn't suffer any losses,
and everything went according to his plan. Things went quite smoothly.
Just when he thought that this smooth process would continue until Zhu Xuntao was assassinated, the situation took a huge turn.
Zhu Xuntao was not only prepared, but also set an ambush, killing most of the people he sent and capturing several alive.
One of them was his most useful subordinate. How could he not feel pain?
Finally, when he heard that the fine bows and sharp arrows he had spent a lot of money on were filled with the armory of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion,
he deeply realized how capable Zhu Xuntao was of plotting against people.
"Master, what should we do? Jinsan has been arrested. Should we rescue him?"
Jinyi knelt at his master's feet, his face full of anxiety.
"Otherwise, I'm not worried, but Prince Xiao is a powerful man, and there are so many people who are good at punishment around the prince."
"What if Jinsan can't withstand the torture and confesses everything? Wouldn't the master be in danger?"
By then, let alone his hegemony, even his master's life would be in danger.
The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and Prince Xiao, none of them will let the master go.
"..."
The master's face darkened, what Jinsan said was exactly what he was most worried about.
Under normal circumstances, Jinsan would rather die than let him go.
But now that Jinsan has fallen into the hands of Xiao Jingzhan and others, would the Crown Prince's people let Jinsan die so easily?
He was not sure whether Jinsan could withstand all the torture in the end.
Therefore, he must be prepared for a last-ditch effort before he is exposed.
He thought that he had finally waited for the best opportunity to assassinate Zhu Xuntao, and it was himself who set a series of traps for Zhu Xuntao.
He never thought that Zhu Xuntao's brain would be so smart, comprehensive, and calculating, and he knew what it meant to turn a trick on someone and lure the snake out of its hole.
If he hadn't repeatedly encountered Zhu Xuntao, his nemesis, he wouldn't have been forced to this point.
He especially didn't want to use the proverb "forcing a dog into a poor alley" to describe his current situation.
