Wang Shijian died. He died completely. There were many soldiers around him. Both the government guards and the guards had fought hard on the battlefield in troubled times. Naturally, they knew that such injuries were lifeless.
The few who had just shouted had been captured by the guards, but the guards looked like they were going crazy. In the fierce and tense atmosphere, the officials in the middle hurriedly fled away, fearing that they would be killed. Both sides shoot together into a hedgehog.
Naturally, Zhu Biao also stepped aside, with several government guards sticking closely to Zhu Biao's side. With so many soldiers, anything could happen in a chaotic situation, so protecting His Highness the Crown Prince is the most important thing. If necessary, You can give up all tasks.
With a roar, the guards of the government unsheathed their swords, guns, crossbows, loaded firearms, and pressed towards the guard station. At this time, Wang Liu no longer lost his previous unruly attitude, and retreated in panic, pressing himself down at the same time. The soldiers under your command should not take action.
"How brave! You dare to assassinate the imperial minister in front of our military guards. It is clear that if you are rebelling, you will be arrested immediately. Otherwise, you will be treated as a rebel and traitor, and the three tribes will be annihilated!"
The Wei Suojun looked at the brand new firearms and crossbows on the opposite side, and then looked down at the worn-out swords and guns in his hands. He suddenly cursed in his heart, "Damn it, the people from Beijing are all wealthy people!" l
This can't be beaten, let alone killing an imperial envoy. What kind of crime is it? Even if they have never read a book, they know that this is to kill the whole family. They dare not join in. They are paid as soldiers and obey military orders, but this does not include rebellion. One piece.
The soldiers at the guard station didn't want to resist, let alone Wang Liu. He had been a good general from the third level of Dingyuan. How could he suddenly want to be the leader of the rebellion? What's more, even if he really rebelled, the captains under his command would probably be able to do so. Capture him immediately so that he can enter the body.
Wang Liu turned around and gritted his teeth and scolded: "Don't move, please escort out those traitors who just shouted!"
Wang Liu raised his hands to the approaching government guards and shouted: "Brothers, we are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. How can we kill each other just because of the instigation of a few rebels? How can we explain this to the emperor and the court? Please Calm down for now.”
At this time, the officials of Pingliang Mansion who were cowering aside also came back to their senses. They looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. Who was caught by Wang Shijian and dared to make a risky move? He clearly wanted to drag everyone down. Sincerely Doesn't that mother please you? Does that mother seek death?
The prefect of Pingliang took a sharp look at the people around him and knew that it was not necessarily someone from his Pingliang mansion who had done it, but he couldn't escape the involvement of Wang Shijian's death in Pingliang mansion. In desperation, he rushed over and grabbed the soldiers. The captain who leads the guard.
"General, don't fall for the trap! This must be a deliberate plan. General Wang has already captured the assassins. They will definitely be able to find out the masterminds through torture. It's not too late to pursue them."
The other officials who reacted also stepped forward to dissuade them. After all, in front of them, if the two waves of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty were allowed to start a large-scale war, it would be very possible to execute them all in anger according to the bad character of their emperor. .
Tang Shizhong, dressed as a school captain, raised his arms and waved away the hand of Fang Liangpin, the prefect of Pingliang, and pointed the knife directly at the nose of Dingyuan General Wang Liu: "Hand over those assassins and let them out of the guardhouse, or die!"
Wang Liu looked livid and said: "I can give you people, but you cannot give up the guard post. We are ordered to guard Pingliang Guard, and we will never leave our post without permission."
Tang Shizhong shouted coldly: "Then you are going to defend and resist? The army guards will obey orders!"
"exist!"
The sound of the earth shaking frightened the guardsmen to take a few steps back. The two confidant captains beside Wang Liu defended him, but the several captains further behind had their thoughts wandering. If General Wang dared to If you order to resist, don't blame the brothers for being unkind.
"This general, please don't be impulsive. Let me persuade General Wang not to be impulsive."
Wang Liangpin was very anxious and frightened at this time. Wang Shijian's death was too sudden. The series of problems caused by the death of the imperial ministers were much more serious than the consequences of their corruption and perversion of the law.
The imperial envoy represents the emperor when he goes out to inspect places. Why did Liu Chun die? Was it just because he oppressed the people there?
No, there are few local officials in the world who do not bully the people. Liu Chun, the son of the first righteous Huihou, beat the imperial envoy in the street, so he is unforgivable!
What now? The imperial envoy appointed by the Holy Emperor died, shot through the head with a crossbow while still alive. Fang Liangpin now wished that he was the one who was shot to death, so that at least his family would not be implicated.
Fang Liangpin and others quickly walked up to Wang Liu and said in a deep voice with red eyes: "You will do whatever they ask you to do, and you will cooperate with them in everything. You must clear the relationship!"
Wang Liu's body was trembling a little: "What about the grain stored in the back?"
Fang Liangpin turned to look at Chen Yunze in the distance and said: "The Imperial Guards are the Emperor's guards, and they are also the Prince's guards. We must survive this hurdle first, and then find a way to move the food, not to mention that it is disaster relief food. Do you dare not give it to the army guards?"
Hearing this, Wang Liu nodded, exhaled and waved his hands. He had indeed forgotten that it was they who had the final say whether the batch of food was relief food or military food. The two captains beside him immediately asked the guards to put down their weapons and step aside. He also handed over the tightly tied five assassins to the government army guards.
After the guard army retreated to an extreme distance, Tang Shizhong's eyes lit up and he waved his hand to let a thousand soldiers enter the guard station first to inspect and protect the food. The rest still aimed their rifles and crossbows at the guard army in the distance, and then spent half an hour taking over. The cooks of the guard station and the guard army were all driven out.
Wang Shijian's body and the assassins were carried in. After that, Tang Shizhong invited Pingliang Prefecture officials and Dingyuan General Wang Liu and others to enter the guardhouse to discuss, and the guardsmen all retreated to the capital.
At this time, Fang Liangpin and others discovered that there were several soldiers of the Imperial Guard standing next to Chen Yunze, obviously looking protective. The pale-faced Li Tongpan stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Chen, who are these?" ?”
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I don't know what happened, but suddenly there were these people around me."
Fang Liangpin, who was standing by, forced a smile and said: "It seems that the military guards of the government also know that Mr. Chen is someone close to His Royal Highness, so they specially sent troops to protect him. This dignity is really enviable to others."
At this time, the identity of the nobleman was not avoided. It seemed that they wanted to use the people behind Chen Yunze to climb ashore. After all, this was their only life-saving straw.
Fang Liangpin looked at the silent soldiers, gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Biao: "I will ask you to help me later. I am willing to offer another 50,000 taels of silver, just to survive this disaster safely."
