Chapter 141
Wei Wu had met Li Feng before and was quite impressed by him.
After all, he was the first eunuch to run to his house in the middle of the night, and he also brought the news that Zhu Xiongying was seriously ill.
Although Wei Wu knew that the man in black was a eunuch, he never doubted Li Feng.
The reason is very simple, Li Feng is close to Zhu Biao.
His position to Zhu Biao is equivalent to that of Mao Xiang to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Who is Zhu Biao? He is the most stable prince of the Ming Dynasty, a veteran Tangyuan master who is white on the outside but black on the inside.
With so many schemes and tricks, how could he not even check the background of the people around him!
It turned out that the person he didn't suspect happened to be the man in black.
This contrast surprised Wei Wu quite a bit.
"Brother Zhu, have you found any evidence?"
"No, but I found that Li Feng seemed to be injured, but I haven't arranged for him to do anything recently."
When Zhu Biao spoke, there was always a slight smile on his face.
Although nothing could be seen on his face, Wei Wu could sense a dangerous aura.
If nothing unexpected happens, Li Feng should be able to get his lunch box and leave.
If he is really a member of the Lu family, he must be able to hide himself perfectly for his entire life.
Otherwise, if he reveals even the slightest clue, he will be killed without a burial place.
But just when Wei Wu was thinking this, Zhu Biao said another result.
"Why did Li Feng obey the Lu family's manipulation? I want to find out the reason behind it, and also the Lu family."
Hearing this, Wei Wu had some speculations in his mind.
In his opinion, Zhu Biao probably did not want to expose the fact that Lu had harmed the crown prince.
After all, the Crown Princess fell into the water and died just a second ago, and the Lu family in Jiangnan was eliminated by the court the next second.
Anyone with a little common sense could guess that there was something wrong here, and it might even involve the smallpox issue.
However, what Zhu Biao said next made Wei Wu realize that he was overthinking.
"If it was just the Lu family in Jiangnan, they would be wiped out in a snap of a hand, even if it was other gentry in Jiangnan."
"What really concerns me is whether there are one or two more hidden behind these people."
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Wei Wu couldn't help but frown.
Behind the gentleman? One or two deeper?
Then this problem is quite serious.
What are gentry? Gentry are those who have achieved fame but have not entered the officialdom or have left office.
These people can be said to be powerful, wealthy, and have a certain status and influence in local and official circles.
But they all have the same identity, that is, scholars who are well-read in the books of sages.
The only person Wei Wu could think of behind these people was the descendants of Confucius, the Kong family of Qufu!
The greatness of Confucius is unquestionable. He is one of the founders of Chinese culture.
He is just a descendant of Confucius... He is a man of great integrity who advises people to be loyal. Shi Xiu submitted a memorial to Duke Yansheng, and his one sentence says it all.
Then the key question comes. In Wei Wu's opinion, Zhu Biao's guess is not impossible.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered a lot from the Kong family, and his violent temper also made them angry.
But no one fell out with each other. Zhu Yuanzhang needed literati from all over the world, and Duke Yansheng did not dare to offend the emperor to death.
At the same time, we can probably see something from the time Zhu Yunwen came to power.
After Zhu Yunwen became emperor, he emphasized civil officials over military officials, elevated the status of civil officials, and listened to their suggestions.
As a result, when he was later reducing the power of the feudal lords, he made many stupid moves based on the advice of those civil servants.
If the Lu family's matter is really that deeply involved, it will indeed be difficult to handle.
This was the only one Wei Wu could think of, and he had no idea whether there might be another one.
What made him even more surprised was that Zhu Biao didn't need to tell him about this!
