My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 387

Chapter 387 Your Majesty has come to settle accounts

Xu Qi was furious, but after scolding, he fell silent again.

He doesn’t have the slightest thought now to think about that **** Liu Guan.

So he was extremely bored and said: “Give him a good watch over him, and then I will settle the score with him!”

After hearing that, the friend nodded hurriedly.

The faces of the rest of the people became more and more anxious, and Xu Qi’s heart was even more turbulent.

When everyone was restless, finally, someone came in a hurry and said eagerly: “Xu Gong, Xu Gong…”

Xu Qi calmed down a little at this time, but his voice still trembled uncontrollably: “What’s the matter?”

“Jinyiwei everywhere…withdrew.”

“What?” Xu Qi opened his eyes slightly and confirmed, “Withdrawn?”

“Yes.” The visitor continued panting, “The Jinyiwei Tiqi who was guarding the treasury suddenly disappeared without a trace for some reason.”

At this moment, Xu Qi finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He opened and closed his eyes, as if he was asking others, but also himself: “What… is the reason?”

This news is really too surprising. At this time, there are whispers in the hall.

The original screen friend’s face flickered, and he said slowly: “Is there a possibility that…something happened, so…Jinyiwei Tiqi withdrew…”

“An accident…” Suddenly, Xu Qi cheered up, and his eyes lit up unconsciously.

He was a little excited, but deep down, he couldn’t help feeling a little scared.

A complex and inexplicable emotion intertwined in his body.

So, he closed his eyes first, and let out a heavy breath.

Finally, he opened his eyes: “What happened to Jiujiang Mansion?”

“Xu Gong…” Someone stood up, and this person was Liu Lu, the prefect of Nanchang.

Liu Lu said in a hoarse voice: “If it weren’t for that, how could Tiqi Yingdog be willing to withdraw?”

Xu Qi said: “So… what happened?”

he asked back.

But no one answered this question.

No one dared to answer.

But in fact, the answer is already self-evident, already in the hearts of the people.

Jinyiwei’s information system is naturally better than the eyes and ears of ordinary officials.

So… It is not surprising that Jinyiwei in various places was the first to hear the news.

Then… Now that the guards in Jinyi are acting like this suddenly, they don’t even care about the treasury. The only possibility is obviously… the sky is falling.

How can the sky fall down?

unless…

Unless the water thieves succeed.

Although Xu Qi had expected it long ago, the water thief was very confident. After all, they were prepared for attack but unprepared.

Losing like this is too much for God.

But after all, he didn’t dare to do anything before he really got the exact news.

After all, what he wanted to kill was Daming’s first relative, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the famous Zhang Anshi!

And now, the thief… is finally dead.

Xu Qi’s eyes collided with everyone’s eyes, and they all understood each other.

Xu Qi immediately calmed down and said, “Go and find out what happened.”

The visitor said: “Yes.”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly retreated.

Xu Qi stood up, with his hands behind his back, showing a tired look.

After waiting for a whole night, now that he heard the news, he felt sleepy when he relaxed, but at this time, he had to cheer up a little, and still ordered: “Everyone should perform their duties and live well.”

Everyone stood up one after another, and their voices became lighter: “Yes.”

Xu Qi looked at Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang, and said, “Liu Xiandi stays here.”

On weekdays, the two are in a relationship, and Xu Qi usually doesn’t call him a good brother, but today they call him very intimate.

We are all grasshoppers on the same boat, so at this time… it is only appropriate to get closer.

Liu Lu nodded and waited for everyone to retreat.

Xu Qi said coldly: “Zhang Anshi…if he dies, I’m afraid I will be duty-bound. Your Majesty will anger me, and then…I’m afraid I will be involved.”

Liu Lu comforted: “Grand Liu… the death of this beast is God’s will. This man’s justice is too much to be tolerated, and his death is not a pity. Your Majesty… At most, you can only punish one crime of negligence, so what can you do? At worst, Mr. Xu will return The township will be supported for some time, and there will be a day of recovery in the future.”

Xu Qi naturally knew that these were just words of comfort, but he only kept his hands behind his back. He didn’t believe that he was just dismissed from office.

Finally, he sighed faintly, and said helplessly: “To this day, this is the only way to go. It’s just that the corrupt situation here needs to be cleaned up by you in the end.”

Liu Lu hurriedly said: “The lower officials and others are naturally duty-bound.”

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said: “What the old man is worried about is…then I will appoint an imperial envoy to investigate and deal with it…”

Liu Lu smiled and said: “After Zhang Anshi died, no one will come to investigate again. Even if they come, let the imperial envoys come to investigate. What did he really find out? Does he dare to talk nonsense?”

Xu Qi pursed his lips, said nothing more, and finally waved his hand and said, “Forget it, that’s it.”

…

What Xu Qi didn’t know was that at this time, there was a group of people running fast overnight.

They first took a boat, went all the way south, entered the waters of Poyang Lake, and then went down the Ganjiang River.

At noon, you can see the city walls in the distance, especially a tall building, which is faintly visible.

Zhang Anshi stood on the bow of the boat, a little behind Zhu Di. This was just an ordinary black-covered boat, and it was not stable in the water.

Zhu Di stood calmly at the bow of the boat, stretching his thick eyebrows, looking at the tall building.

Zhang Anshi also looked at the building and said, “Your Majesty, this is the Tengwang Pavilion. According to legend, it was built by Li Shimin’s brother Tengwang Li Yuanying.”

Zhu Di said: “You don’t need to tell me about these allusions, I understand them better than you.”

Zhang Anshi was embarrassed.

Zhu Di went on to say: “When this building was built, it was the second year of Zhenguan. At that time, the Great Tang Dynasty was waiting to be lifted. What kind of weather was it in the next hundred years? But now, where did the weather of the Han and Tang Dynasties go? What about it? The reason is that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was all rubble and ashes, so what is the problem?”

Zhu Di doesn’t seem to be asking Zhang Anshi.

Actually, Zhang Anshi would not answer either, because this is a proposition.

Zhu Di immediately said: “Go ashore, enter the city!”

The ships arrived at a ferry on the river bank.

Immediately, the people on the bank’s own waterway patrol saw this and gathered one after another.

One person shouted: “Who…”

But the ships had docked one after another, and the captain who jumped down drew his sword and rushed forward.

There are only a few dozens of people in the inspection department. Seeing this, without saying a word, they immediately bowed down and begged for mercy.

In an instant, the situation was settled.

Zhu Di ignored it, didn’t even bother to give it a look, and only looked at the city wall not far away, with a gloomy face.

Zhang Anshi carried a person behind him, and said, “How is it in the city?”

The man tremblingly said: “There is no movement in the city.”

Zhang Anshi asked again: “Why are you stationed here…”

“The little people are ordered to find out the whereabouts of Jin Yiwei Tiqi.”

Zhang Anshi curled his lips into a smile, with a bit of arrogance in his smile, and then said: “Then there is no need to inquire, we are right here.”

The man turned pale with fright and let out an ah.

Zhang Anshi didn’t bother to pay attention to him anymore, he stood up straight, and then said: “Enter the city immediately!”

One command.

Hundreds of captains of the model battalion and more than a hundred captains of Jinyi mixed together rushed to the city gate.

After a while, another group of people came, they led the horses, dressed in plain clothes, and the leader came to see the salute: “My humble hundred households, Zhang Ding, have met your majesty, and the governor, and I am here to serve His Royal Highness and the governor. ”

Zhu Di only nodded, and then got on his horse. Zhang Anshi had no choice but to lead a horse and get on his horse.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry and hundreds of people flocked to the city gate.

The guards at the city gate saw the movement and were caught off guard. Someone shouted eagerly: “Close the city gate, close the city gate…”

But it was obviously too late.

Someone galloped forward first, raised the knife and swung it down, beheading the person who shouted to close the city gate directly under the horse.

Then, all the riders surrounded Zhu Di and roared into the city gate.

Zhu Di rode his horse and raised his whip, facing the scorching sun, and looked around.

The gatekeepers of the city gate have already dispersed.

They shouted loudly: “A thief has entered the city, a thief has entered the city!”

All of a sudden, the city seemed to explode.

Zhu Diren and others did not wear armor, some were plainclothes but carried weapons, and some wore fish suits that symbolized their status, with different attires.

But these burly people are naturally different from ordinary people.

They rushed over suddenly and beheaded a doorman, which naturally made people think that a thief had entered.

The streets in the city, along with the noise, were suddenly empty.

Zhu Di Lema stomped his feet, his face was ashen, he only felt that the blood in his body seemed to be surging at this moment.

…

“Xu Gong, Xu Gong…”

Someone stumbled into the chief envoy, his voice full of panic.

The silence in the chief envoy was broken.

Xu Qi heard the movement, and knew that something serious had happened, he hurried out with a few subordinate officials, and said with a somber face, “What’s the matter?”

“There were thieves entering the city, and there were hundreds of them…It was very vicious. They took the door, it was terrible…”

Xu Qi was shocked when he heard this.

The assistant officer beside him and the Muyou who rushed over all changed their expressions.

“Lang Lang Qian Kun, where did the thief come from?” someone asked.

“No…don’t know…”

Everyone looked at Xu Qi one after another.

Xu Qi’s heart skipped a beat, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly said: “Those people, what do they look like?”

The man said: “Some are dressed as ordinary people, but they all carry knives, and… there seem to be firecrackers… Not only that, the villain also saw… some people… wearing fish clothes…”

“Is it really a fish suit?” Xu Qi slightly opened his eyes wide.

“Yes, there is no mistake, it is exactly the same as that worn by the Jinyi Wei Tiqi who sealed the treasury back then.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed suddenly.

“Xu Gong… Xu Gong… no… no… Jin Yiwei go and come back.”

Someone looked at Xu Qi anxiously.

A while later, someone came with a group of people, but Liu Lu, the prefect of Nanchang, also heard the news, panicked, and hurriedly brought people to ask Xu Qi for advice.

“Grand Xu…what’s going on?”

Xu Qi’s face was very ugly, he frowned and said: “These people…damn it!”

Liu Lu hurriedly said: “Grand Xu, now is not the time to talk about this, Jin Yiwei suddenly came back, it must be… must be…”

Xu Qi calmed down at this time, looked at him coldly and said, “Who said these people are Jin Yiwei?”

“Can…can…”

Xu Qi said: “There are many people wearing ordinary clothes, but there are also a lot of people wearing fish clothes, and they all wear sharp knives… From this point of view, there is only one possibility.”

Liu Lu looked suspicious, and said: “I also ask Mr. Xu to enlighten me.”

Xu Qi spat out two words: “Water thief.”

Liu Lu was shocked: “This…”

Xu Qi looked left and right, and the people on the side retreated wisely.

Only the confidantes are still standing in place.

Xu Qi then continued: “Since the water bandits attacked Jiujiang Mansion and beheaded Zhang Anshi, it is understandable that these people have not changed their thieves’ nature and took away the armor of Zhang An and others.”

“But they…why come here suddenly.”

“This is also the most troublesome thing for me.” Xu Qi said.

“They are here this time. Don’t people misunderstand us…we are in collusion with them…”

Xu Qi frowned worriedly and remained silent.

“Isn’t it…a reward? Or…”

Xu Qi said: “Anyway, since people are coming, even if they want to stop them, it’s too late. There are not many people in the city, and they may not be able to stop them if they gather together. Instead of this, it’s better…to come and gather people, all of them Come with the old man.”

Everyone listened to the order, and then someone went to contact the Commander Si Yamen.

The commanding officer of Nadu Siya, Liu Rong, and fellow acquaintance Zhu Xi brought another team of officers and soldiers hastily.

Xu Qi and the two looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Liu Rong cursed and said: “These thieves… dare to come here, they are really audacious.”

“Since they dared to come, they presumably want to take credit for this…” Xu Qi said.

“How to deal with it?”

“You might as well stabilize them first. Most of the water thieves are rough people. It’s easy to deal with them. Stabilize them first. When the time comes, when the troops gather, kill them together. In this way… there is one more thing to protect the environment and the people.” Credit, other than that… can be regarded as avenging Zhang Anshi.”

This command made Liu Rong smile, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it made some sense.

So, he whispered: “In the past few days, I have seen your mentor…”

Xu Qi said ambiguously: “Let’s deal with the matter in front of us first.”

Liu Rong nodded.

Immediately, Xu Qi and Liu Rong, led by hundreds of people, marched towards the gate of the city.

At this time, the street was already empty.

Halfway through the journey, I saw the opponent’s scouts haunting.

Xu Qi and Liu Rong waited and watched for a while.

“It’s true that you are wearing a fish suit.” Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “It must be a water thief.”

“how to respond.”

“Let’s go to appease them first. No matter what they say, it doesn’t matter whether they want peace or rewards. All in all, we should promise first, and then silence them all at the third watch.”

Liu Rong glanced at Xu Qi sideways, and said, “Mr. Xu has good means.”

Liu Rong ordered a man, and the man rode forward immediately, and then came to Zhu Di and others.

Zhu Di was riding a horse, and when he heard that someone from the chief envoy came, he couldn’t help being suspicious, so he called him to him.

This person is Xu Qi’s confidant. When he saw Zhu Di and the others, he only glanced at him, then he laughed, and then said kindly: “But are you in charge? I have heard your name for a long time.”

Immediately, the man said again: “The students are here under the order of Mr. Xu, and they are here to contact you. You are in charge… Why are you not happy in Jiujiang Mansion, but come to Nanchang Mansion again? After all, Xu Gong and General Liu are imperial officials, and you are in charge Negotiations are inconvenient, so I ordered the students to come here and have a talk with the masters.”

Zhu Di looked at the scholar in front of him with weird eyes.

He said: “The Xu Gong you mentioned is that Xu Qi?”

The scholar cursed inwardly, a thief is a thief, and he will never be able to enter the hall of elegance. Xu Gong’s first and last name are also called by you!

Look at the man in front of him, he is tall and tall, with a big beard and dark skin, he looks like a thief at first glance.

He smiled immediately, but with a gentle look: “Exactly.”

Zhu Di was originally resentful, but now… he was a little annoyed and laughed, and then said: “Talk, talk about what?”

The scholar said: “I also ask you to be in charge, don’t disturb this place, and leave the city immediately. The things discussed before will be fulfilled!”

“Everyone in charge, it is too hasty.”

Zhu Di said: “What has been discussed?”

The scholar’s face darkened slightly: “Mr. Xu knows that the leaders of the family have high righteousness, so he is willing to cooperate with the leaders of the family to eradicate the traitors for the world. Why are the leaders of the family not trustworthy?”

As soon as Zhu Di heard the word “elimination of adultery”, he immediately became angry.

His hands trembled, and the whip in his hand was about to be smashed down.

But at this time, Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Could it be Zhang Anshi who you are talking about traitorous?”

The scholar said: “It is the thief of this country.”

Zhang Anshi smiled, and said cheerfully: “Then do you know, who is Zhang Anshi with?”

The scholar said: “I would like to hear the details.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Your Majesty!”

As soon as these two words came out, the scholar’s face changed, and his face froze immediately.

He never thought that such a variable would appear.

Actually, not many people guessed that Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi were together, even Xu Qi was kept in the dark.

Zhang Anshi continued to laugh and said, “Don’t you think that the emperor is also a national traitor?”

The scholar took a deep breath, obviously this has exceeded his expectations.

He made up his mind, thinking that the matter has come to this point, presumably these water thieves found out that the person who died in the rebellious army still had the emperor, so they came to Nanchang overnight, wanting to ask for an explanation.

At this time, these people still have to be stabilized.

At that moment, he laughed loudly, and said lightly: “To be honest, today’s son is killing his flesh and blood, slaughtering Zhongliang, wanton debauchery, law-enforcement, stupid and lawless, and in the whole world, there are countless people who have been tortured by him.” , weak people, wailing everywhere.”

“This world is not dominated by him alone. Even if you kill the heroes, you will not fall into the name of loyalty. If Xu Gong knows, not only will you not worry, but you will be very happy, and you will definitely praise you for taking charge of the people.”

Zhu Di: “…”

Zhu Di was completely silent.

Or rather, even the anger he was filled with disappeared at this time.

Zhang Anshi looked speechless, because he really couldn’t understand, what kind of mystery the other party… was playing.

Think you didn’t die fast enough?
