Chapter 380 Dorgon Walks into a Trap

Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. Wang Wenzhou, that lecherous man, although a womanizer, was truly devoted to his wives and concubines.

"Wang Chengen, you bear witness, I have investigated and confirmed that Gao Guilan is not the daughter of the rebel Gao Yingxiang," Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile.

“Brother Zhu! You’re a true friend! Don’t worry, I will do everything I can to persuade Gao Yingxiang to surrender,” Wang Wenzhou said quickly.

Zhu Youjian was silent for a while, then solemnly said, "Actually, I don't want to kill all these bandits. Some of them are indeed heinous and deserve to die, but most of them are just ordinary people who were forced into becoming outlaws."

“Yes!” Wang Wenzhou nodded in agreement, “As long as you can have enough to eat and girls to sleep with, who would be stupid enough to start a rebellion? After all, it’s a capital offense, and there are very few successful rebellions in history.”

"That's why I sent you to persuade him to surrender. After all, you have some connection with the rebel Li Zicheng. If you can't persuade him to surrender with your abilities, then no one else in the Ming Dynasty will be able to," Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"Brother Zhu, what a brilliant plan! By combining suppression and appeasement, the pacification of the bandits in the Northwest will be just around the corner!" Wang Wenzhou flattered Zhu Youjian.

"Haha!" Zhu Youjian laughed and said, "I don't actually want to suppress the rebels. There's a saying that goes, if the country is peaceful and the people live in peace and contentment, how can there be rebels? I'm just unlucky. My elder brother passed away, leaving me with a precarious empire."

Zhu Youjian said with a touch of sadness, "I did not want to be this emperor, but it is the will of Heaven, what can I do? For the sake of the country, since my ascension to the throne, I have worked tirelessly day and night, without daring to slack off for even a day."

"But faced with a nation riddled with problems, and with officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates, I am powerless!" Zhu Youjian gently patted Wang Wenzhou's shoulder and said sincerely, "Perhaps my efforts have moved Heaven. Since you came to my side, I have discovered that the Ming Dynasty can be saved!"

"I was heartbroken to learn that you had been assassinated and were unconscious! Boxin, rest assured, I will find out who the mastermind behind your assassination. No matter who it is, as long as the evidence is conclusive, I will definitely exterminate their entire family!" These words from Zhu Youjian were his heartfelt words.

Wang Wenzhou was very moved. Zhu Youjian was a true brother, but where could he find evidence?

"Boxin, take good care of your injuries. I'm still waiting for you to serve the country! It's getting late, I should return to the palace." Zhu Youjian took his leave.

"Brother Zhu, please take care. I'm not feeling well, so I won't see you off!" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile and waved.

Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. Wang Wenzhou truly didn't treat him as the emperor, but precisely because of this, Zhu Youjian also found a brotherly feeling in Wang Wenzhou.

As soon as Zhu Youjian left, Wang Qiang rushed into the room and said, "Young Master, we've caught Mu Yiyun!"

Wang Wenzhou's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Very well! Bring her in. I want to interrogate her and find out whether that bastard Dorgon really did the assassination."

Wang Qiang said with a wry smile, "Young Master, actually, Mu Yiyun wasn't captured by us. She came here on her own when she heard that you had woken up."

"What?" Wang Wenzhou frowned and said coldly, "Bring her in first!"

"Yes!" Wang Qiang turned and went out. A moment later, Mu Yiyun, who was tied up, was brought into the room.

"Lord Wang, you've tied me up, so I can't take off my clothes!" Mu Yiyun said with a smile.

"Haha..." Wang Wenzhou laughed in exasperation; this beautiful girl's personality was really quite amusing.

"Ouch!" Wang Wenzhou winced in pain as he aggravated his wound from laughing.

"Lord Wang, you don't believe that Prince Rui was behind your assassination attempt, do you?" Mu Yiyun asked with a smile.

Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "I suddenly admire Xiao Gun. Xiao Gun is so shameless. Then give me an explanation: why did you assassinate Hauge to make me lower my guard, but I was the one who was assassinated, and you even killed one of my babies!"

Wang Wenzhou gritted his teeth and said, "I won't kill you. Go back and tell Dorgon to wash his hands of it and wait for me to find a hundred strong men to gang rape him to death!"

"Lord Wang is a true man; he didn't kill a woman," Mu Yiyun said with a smile.

"Get out!" Wang Wenzhou didn't not want to kill her, but the key was that if he killed her, no one would relay the message to Dorgon.

Mu Yiyun shook her head and said with a smile, "Your Highness, there's no need for me to inform you. You can ask him yourself. He's waiting outside your residence."

Wang Wenzhou frowned deeply. Dorgon dared to come? There were two possibilities: one, Dorgon hadn't done it, and his personal presence would be more convincing in clarifying the matter; two, Dorgon was risking his life to set a trap for him.

"Xiaoqiang, tell Xiaogun to come in!" Wang Wenzhou ordered.

A moment later, Dorgon, dressed as a coachman, walked into the room with a smile.

"Lord Wang, how have you been?" Dorgon said with a smile.

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed, clutching his wound, and said softly, "Xiao Gun, I admire you! Regardless of whether you were the mastermind behind my assassination attempt, I admire you for daring to risk your life. Those who achieve great things must do extraordinary things."

Dorgon nodded and laughed, saying, "Brother, we're good brothers, how could I want you to die?"

"Women are for sleeping with, brothers are for selling! Xiao Gun, tell me, if you didn't do this, then who did?" Wang Wenzhou asked coldly.

Dorgon shook his head and said sincerely, "I don't know exactly who did it. But it certainly wasn't me, nor was it Huang Taiji."

Wang Wenzhou said, "Xiao Gun, why should I believe you? Whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious. If I am assassinated, of course you will benefit the most. The Ming Dynasty has already refused to negotiate with you. Once war breaks out, because Huang Taiji is bedridden, military power can only be handed over to you."

Dorgon shook his head and said with a wry smile, "We agreed to put on a show before I decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. But now, the Qing Dynasty is in imminent danger, and I'm afraid we won't be able to resist once war breaks out."

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed and said, "Little Gun, don't be so modest! You're not as naive as Zhu Youjian to think that our Ming army can defeat your Qing cavalry, are you?"

Dorgon confidently stated, "Of course, I am not worried about the battlefield; I am worried about supplies."

"I understand!" Wang Wenzhou laughed and cursed, "Little Gun, you came here this time hoping I would provide you with food? Are you kidding me? You fucking killed my baby, and I'm going to give you food?"

“Brother! I have come alone, and I have no regrets!” Dorgon said sincerely.

"Yeah!" Wang Wenzhou laughed and scolded, "You think you can fool me, sell me out, and then make me count the money for you, right?"

"Since you don't trust me, then kill me!" Dorgon said, looking as if he could kill me at any time.

Wang Wenzhou frowned deeply, because at this moment, he really couldn't figure out whether Dorgon was lying or not.
