"Have you sent someone to chase him?"
Lin Wenye, who was walking beside Wang Yuncheng, asked him.
Xiao Kui said: "The cavalry has arranged people to chase him."
"That's good." Lin Wenye nodded.
While Xiao Kui led Wang Yuncheng and others inside, he asked: "Shizheng, Chief of Staff, do you want to meet the magistrate of Daizhou? When his subordinates came to attack the Yamen, the magistrate brought a few The police officers in the yamen dare to guard the yamen."
"So you are still a loyal minister." Lin Wenye chuckled.
Xiao Kui said: "To the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, maybe this Zhizhou was considered a loyal minister, much better than the commander of the Zhenwu Guard who only cared about his own escape."
"Go and meet!" Lin Wenye turned his head and said to Wang Yuncheng.
Wang Yuncheng nodded.
Xiao Kui walked aside to lead the way for them.
When passing by the Yamen lobby, Wang Yuncheng noticed that there were many people detained inside, so he took a second look inside.
Xiao Kui, who noticed this scene, explained: "These people are all servants and servants who stayed in the yamen and did not escape. The subordinates want to wait for free time to interrogate these people. If there is no crime, they will just let them go. "
"Let's go and meet the magistrate here first." Wang Yuncheng no longer cared about those people imprisoned in the lobby.
Even if the Tiger-Character Banner army breaks through a city, it will capture many police officers from the government offices. As for these people, as long as their crimes are not extremely heinous, they will basically not be punished. If the police officers are of good character, they will continue to stay in the government offices. work.
After bypassing the lobby, Xiao Kui took people to the back office.
"The people are locked inside." Xiao Kui raised his finger and pointed at the back office.
Outside the Houyamen, two soldiers with the tiger-shaped flag were guarding.
When Xiao Kui and his men came over, the two soldiers crossed their right arms and gave them a military salute.
Xiao Kui returned the favor and led people into the back office.
"He is the magistrate of Daizhou." After entering the houya, Xiao Kui introduced Wang Yuncheng and others, but when he saw the magistrate of Daizhou in the houya, his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw the magistrate sitting in the main seat of the back office, holding a tureen in his hand, drinking tea slowly, and did not look frightened at all after being captured.
"Who made him tea?" Xiao Kui asked in a stern tone to the soldiers who stayed in the back office to guard Daizhou Zhizhou.
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Report, no one made tea for him."
"No one makes tea. Where can he get tea to drink?" Xiao Kui pointed at the tureen in Daizhou Zhizhou's hand.
His soldiers served a prisoner in front of the division and chief of staff of their third battle camp, which made him feel that they had lost the face of their third battle camp.
However, Daizhou Zhizhou, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "General, don't get me wrong. Your men did not make tea for me. This cup of tea was already brewed before you came. It's just that I I haven’t drunk it yet, but if you don’t believe me, you can come over and take a sip to see if it has cooled down a long time ago.”
"Zhizhou is joking. I, Tiger Character Flag, will not be stingy with a cup of tea." Wang Yuncheng walked over with a smile, walked to a seat beside him and sat down, then turned to Xiao Kui and said, "Have someone give us this Zhizhou exchanges a cup of hot tea."
After hearing this, Xiao Kui winked at his subordinates.
"No need, this cup I have is very good." Zhizhou picked up the tureen in his hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip of tea.
"You don't have to be polite, Zhizhou, we can still afford a cup of tea." Lin Wenye walked to the seat next to Wang Yuncheng and sat down.
Zhizhou snorted and said sarcastically: "No need, I don't even bother to use the bandits' things."
"How are you talking? You have to understand your identity. You think you are still the magistrate of Daizhou. You are just a prisoner now." Xiao Kui scolded.
Wang Yuncheng waved his hand towards Xiao Kui and immediately said to Daizhou Zhizhou: "Since the Zhizhou doesn't like my tiger-character flag, then drink the tea brewed by your own tea leaves. I think there will be no shortage of tea in the Yamen."
"No need. I despise things that fall into the hands of thieves. I feel like my eyes are stained even by looking at them, let alone letting me touch them." Daizhou Zhizhou said coldly.
Xiao Kui's face sank and he said: "You are really shameless. You haven't recognized your identity yet. You thought you were the magistrate of Daizhou. Let me tell you, you are just a prisoner now. I can give you tea." I’ve already given you face by drinking, so don’t give me face by refusing to follow up.”
"Hmph, there's nothing I can say about you." Daizhou Zhizhou shook his sleeves.
After hearing this, Wang Yuncheng chuckled lightly and said: "If you succeed as a king or lose as a bandit, why should the governor of the state use your words in front of us?"
"You thieves will not end well. Even if you capture Daizhou today, once the imperial army arrives, you thieves will be wiped out." Daizhou Zhizhou glared at Wang Yuncheng.
"Then I'll wait for that day."
Wang Yuncheng stood up from his seat, turned around and walked out.
Lin Wenye on the side also hurriedly got up and followed him, and walked out together.
After leaving the Houya, Lin Wenye asked: "No more persuasion?"
"No need, this person can only show off his words. There is no need to continue talking. Let's leave it to the general!" Wang Yuncheng shook his head slightly.
Xiao Kui, who came over, said at this time: "In my opinion, a Ming court official who is ignorant of current affairs like this should be taught a lesson severely so that he can recognize his own situation and avoid looking arrogant in front of us. "
"No need to treat him specially, just send someone to keep an eye on him. We will encounter similar officials in the future. The reason why we want to see him is to ensure that he can be used by us in case. Now it seems that the officials of Mingting will never If they don't like our Tiger Flag, I won't bother to waste my energy on them in the future." Wang Yuncheng said.
After a while, a member of the Baihu family ran over and said with a dark face: "Reporting to the commander, a cannon just exploded and several gunners were injured."
"Trash." Yuan Chaoju cursed angrily.
There were already fewer cannons on the city wall than in the bandit army, and now that one was missing, it would be even more difficult to threaten the bandit soldiers.
"What are you still doing here? Go and let your people fire the cannon. Do you want to wait for the bandits to push the cannon down the city and bombard Daizhou City?"
When Yuan Chaoju saw the hundred households still standing in front of him, he couldn't help but scolded them.
Baihu ran away in a hurry.
boom!
There was another muffled thunder sound on the top of the city, and the sound of wailing echoed over the city head.
Yuan Chaoju looked at the chaotic situation on the city wall again, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
I saw Baihu, who had just left not long ago, running over again.
"General, another cannon has exploded." As he said that, the hundred households lowered their heads.
Yuan Chaoju suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't it fine when we fired the gun before?"
