"Boss, our people went to get a pass, but were rejected. The people at the government office said they should come in the afternoon."

After running around outside, Uncle Zhang came back and reported to Zhu Ying.

"afternoon?"

Zhu Ying was a little confused. Such a big event was over in just one morning?

According to the current news.

This is the joint law enforcement by the Five Cities Military Command, the Five Military Governor's Office, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The focus was on the city gates, as if to prevent anyone from escaping the city. There was no impact on the streets.

A strange idea suddenly flashed through Zhu Ying's mind.

It can't be because of me, right?

I feel that these things are inexplicable and somewhat coincidental.

But this thought was quickly forgotten.

If something happens to the people being tracked, the first thing that happens is that the teahouse will be blocked.

The teahouse is still doing well now.

Of course it has nothing to do with me.

"What on earth is going on? Why is there such a big fuss?"

Zhu Ying was a little curious.

…

"Brothers, it's almost noon now. We should be able to go out now."

In the big prison of Jinyiwei Yamen.

The captain had dark circles under his eyes and spoke to Zhang San and others in the cell with a smile.

From last night till now, he has been guarding in the prison for a whole night.

The cell door remained open and Zhang San and the others had no intention of going out.

Even sleeping is done by taking turns.

As for the wine and food that were sent.

One person tastes it first, and after an hour, if it's ok, then the second person can taste it.

It was not until three hours later, when everything had cooled down, that we started eating.

Baihu stayed in the cell and talked all night long, chatting about all kinds of things, including dirty jokes and everything under the sun.

The seven people didn't say a word, just watched quietly.

The centurion that night was like a one-man show on the stage.

I finally made it to almost noon.

The captain then spoke in a hoarse voice.

Zhang San and his brothers looked at each other.

There are many confusions in my heart.

After all, this feeling is really too strange.

A captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard really stayed with him all night.

No one would believe it if I told them.

"Thank you, I will leave now."

After calming down, Zhang San said nothing more. He clasped his fists and headed out the door.

The six people behind followed immediately.

"I'll lead the way. You may not be familiar with the place." The captain was in high spirits. He was a little tired originally, but now all the tiredness disappeared. He smiled and led the way in front.

The prison was not accessed through the main gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen, but through a sparsely populated side door.

Looking at the people walking away, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But it wasn't over yet. With a bitter face, he walked towards the direction where Song Zhong was.

Next, it’s time to decide life or death.

After Zhang San and others left, they did not go directly to the teahouse or the yard where Zhu Ying was.

Start taking a detour through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Half an hour later, they reunited in a small alley.

"What's going on? Is someone following us?" Zhang San asked in a deep voice.

"No."

“No.”

Everyone shook their heads.

Zhang San instructed one of them, "Xiao Liu, go and make the connection first and pass the message to the boss. I'll wait for you."

When Xiaoliu was called, he nodded and left quickly.

…

At this time, Zhu Ying was already in the teahouse.

The teahouse has many customers. When Zhu Ying first opened the teahouse, he also had the idea of ​​collecting gossips.

Many people were talking loudly in the lobby.

Zhu Ying was in a special room on the second floor, listening to the conversation of the guests below.

This room has a unique design.

With Zhu Ying's hearing ability, he could hear most of the conversations on the first floor.

As the city gates are closed today, the guarding situation must be strictly checked.

There was a lot of discussion below.

After all, curiosity has existed since ancient times.

I just listened for a while, and it was mostly speculations, with no useful information.

Zhu Ying was not in a hurry either. She just ate her breakfast and listened quietly.

After a while, Zhu Ying had just finished his breakfast.

There were hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

The door was pushed open, and it was Uncle Zhang.

"Boss, we just received news that Zhang San and his gang have been released by the Jinyiwei Yamen." Uncle Zhang said hurriedly.

Zhu Ying paused for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Released? Who released him?"

"According to Xiaoliu, the person who arrested them was a captain of the Imperial Guard who had been to our teahouse before."

"Not long after they were imprisoned, the captain came to release them. Zhang San was afraid of disturbing his boss, so he refused to come out."

"Later, Song Zhong, the Jinyiwei pacification envoy, also came and wanted to release the man, saying that he had arrested the wrong person."

"Zhang San didn't leave the prison until just now, because he didn't want to implicate his boss and also wanted to give him enough time to leave the capital."

Zhang Bo explained in detail.

He never thought that this would be the case.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying suddenly laughed.

He laughed and scolded, "These stupid boys, especially Zhang San. He was there when the Jinyiwei came to the teahouse that time."

"You've already been recognized, yet you're still so stubborn."

"If they really wanted to arrest people, they wouldn't have bothered to interrogate them. The teahouse would have been closed down directly."

"As the owner, I bear the brunt of this."

Zhang Bo listened to this and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that they really caught the wrong person?"

"Listen to their nonsense."

Zhu Ying said disdainfully: "It's so easy to get out of the Jinyiwei Yamen's prison."

"The only reason they were able to come out was because the old man spoke out."

"The old man must know about this. Without the old man's permission, the Jinyiwei would never be so easy to talk to."

After hearing this, Zhu Ying understood the key point after just one thought.

The old man is a Grand Secretary of the Palace and a secretary-like figure beside His Majesty.

Naturally, he knew a lot of confidential matters, so it was normal for him to be protected by the Jinyiwei.

Although I don't know much about the old man's background.

But Zhu Ying could feel the old man's kindness and care for her.

After knowing that he was the one who sent people to follow and investigate him, he just laughed it off at best.

Thinking in this way, the context of the matter can be sorted out.

"Boss, shall we leave the capital?" Uncle Zhang asked.

"Stay here for now and talk about it later." Zhu Ying said.

…

The Ming Dynasty Palace. Huagai Hall.

"Is there any movement from our eldest grandson?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Lin with a smile.

"As Your Majesty expected, His Royal Highness Changsun has indeed sent people to the government office to clear the way for him to leave the city."

Jiang Li flattered and gave all the credit to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and said with a smile: "This kid, what he thinks in his mind, others may not know, but we can know it."

"I brought him up myself. He has been smart and clever since he was little, and he knows how to please me the most."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How is Liu Rixin doing? He has been busy for several days, but this matter is still not settled."

"Send someone to urge him to start the work as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile of memorials on his desk and sighed, "This kid is too lazy."

"We are already this old, and we still have to review memorials here. He, on the other hand, spends his days leisurely."

"That won't do. After so many years, it's finally our turn to enjoy a peaceful life."

Speaking of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "It would be best if you could give us a great-grandson, hey!"
