Gao Qiu took out the gold-painted decree on the table and threw it to the ground. A group of wolf-like soldiers quickly emerged from both sides. Without any explanation, they knocked down the commander of the Tianwu Army on the spot. In full view of the public, he rudely Take off your armor and expose your back.
Then, he used a military stick as thick as an arm to hold the man's head and limbs tightly to prevent him from struggling. There was another fierce-looking soldier who rolled up his sleeves, raised his military stick high, and without saying a word, he viciously struck the man on the back.
This is called the spine stick.
The twenty-spine staff was beaten solidly, but the commander no longer had to be kicked out of the hall. Because as early as the fifteenth stick, he could only breathe out and not in.
A commander of the imperial army was beaten to death in front of the public hall, and all the generals in the hall were shocked.
Gao Qiu raised his chin arrogantly. As far as he could see, the hall was full of heads that were bowed. No one dared to look at them. He was satisfied and his whole body felt comfortable.
As for Yang Zhi, he had already fallen into despair the moment Gao Qiu finished speaking. He only felt that his world was dark, and all the hard work, all humiliation, and all hopes were completely shattered at this moment.
The only person who dared to stand up and talk to him died. From now on, everyone will regard him as a snake and a scorpion. Although Tokyo is big, there is no place for Yang Zhi to gain a foothold.
"Although Yang Zhi, a useless member, was pardoned, he committed a crime and absconded in the past. He was actually disloyal. He later used bribes to get an official position. He can be said to have a corrupt nature. It is difficult for this person to be reused! Come on! Drive him out of the hall! "
At this point, Gao Qiu's serial plan of killing chickens to frighten monkeys and killing people with borrowed knives has been very successful. From the beginning to the end, in Gao Qiu's eyes, Yang Zhi is not even the chicken in killing chickens and frightening monkeys. He is just throwing out the chickens to lure them out. Just a handful of millet.
Gao Qiu picked up the cinnabar pen on the desk, which was covered with thick ink. Without even looking at it, he just wrote down a piece of paper that Yang Zhi had exchanged for all his wealth, and then threw it to the ground like a discarded shoe.
As if Yang Zhi had lost his soul, he was kicked out of the palace's Yamen. This day was the darkest moment in his life.
The commander's body was also hurriedly carried away. The blood remaining on the surface of the bluestone in the hall was still wet. Several clerks came up quickly with buckets and rags to clean and clean it up. Gao Qiu continued his work without any concern.
He should take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, rather than pursuing maximum results.
The official on duty offered a cup of hot tea. Gao Qiu took a pleasant sip to moisten his throat, and then ordered all the officials under his control to report one by one all the matters under their control during the Spring Festival.
The deputy capital commander, Du Yuhou, the commanders of the squadrons in front of the palace, and the commanders of the infantry and cavalry... all the generals who heard the words obediently presented their notebooks and documents, and those who had not prepared these all stood up. In the distance, I was thinking about something to report to the Taiwei.
On the first day of the new year's office, anyone who dared to make the Taiwei uncomfortable had already gone to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor. The so-called lesson learned from the past is a guide for those behind the wheel. At this moment, anyone with any brain knows that it is necessary to report good news rather than bad news at this time.
First, the deputy capital commander reported on the defense of the capital, and then Du Yuhou reported on several important matters that needed to be handled after the festival. Slowly, when it was Jia Zhanku's turn, it was already past noon.
Jia Zhangku Zhengshi, who was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, did not dare to slack off at all. He cheered up and immediately went out to report:
"Liu Taiwei, relying on the Taiwei's good leadership, Ling Zhen, our deputy envoy in Tokyo's Jiazhanku, tried out a new type of gunpowder. It was so powerful that when it was used, just one or two kilograms of the gunpowder collapsed our yamen. There are several houses. According to the imperial court's practice, if this matter is reported to the Ministry of War, there will be a reward. However, I would like to ask the Taiwei to tell me how to handle it."
New gunpowder? good! very nice!
Captain Gao said he was very happy.
Of course, he is not happy because this thing is so powerful that it can be used to kill enemies in battle, but because it is the most novel thing that the Holy Emperor likes the most. If this thing is reported, it will definitely bring joy to the Holy Spirit. So Captain Gao immediately gave important instructions in court.
"Well... I know it. You have done a good job. The matter will be reported by the front office secretary. You only need to report the sample and the list of relevant personnel and wait for the reward."
After handling this matter, Gao Qiu felt happy. Seeing that it was past noon, he felt that the heat of the beating was almost done, so he ordered the office to disperse.
In an inn facing the street in Tokyo, Yang Zhi bowed his head and walked out of the shop holding the ancestral sword amid the curses of the shopkeeper.
Since the last bit of money left on him was squeezed out in front of the Privy Council, Yang Zhi was unable to pay the rent he owed, and all his luggage had been seized by the shop owner. In other words, Yang Zhi had to sell his knives to pay back the money. The sword was taken out.
It is true that a penny can stump a hero. Even the majestic green-faced beast Yang Zhi can only put a grass tag on the ancestral treasure and walk step by step in the direction of Ma Xing Street.
Along the way, Yang Zhi was in a daze and walked heavily. While walking, he suddenly met a young man carrying a small baggage. Fortunately, the man was walking in a hurry. He just looked at each other and left in a hurry. Yang Zhi didn't take it seriously and just continued to sell without making a sound.
"Selling knives, selling ancestral swords..."
Behind Yang Zhi, the crowd was commotion. Under the Tianhanzhou Bridge, merchants and pedestrians on both sides were shouting everywhere. Many people even ran to Hexia Lane to hide. Yang Zhi vaguely heard someone shouting:
"Hurry and hide, the big insect is coming!"
…………
At the end of the day, Yang Zhi killed someone on the street and was imprisoned.
At the same time, a young man carrying a small baggage sneaked to the back of Gao Qiu's house.
Seeing that there was no one around, the man quietly picked up a stone the size of an egg on the ground, put it in his arms, and using his hands and feet, he climbed up a big tree behind Gaofu's house.
Sitting on a thick tree branch, he carefully took out a letter and a jade pendant from his body, then took out a large piece of cotton cloth from the bag, carefully wrapped the letter, jade pendant and stone, and then took a look at the house. There is a road that must be passed through, so use your wrists and throw it high.
Seeing a large object falling precisely in the middle of the road, the man here quickly jumped down from the tree trunk, patted the branches and leaves on his body, found the right direction, and ran away immediately.
After a while, Gao Qiu, who had left the office, was riding a tall horse, surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and returned to the mansion with great satisfaction. Before he could even order wine and food to celebrate today's victory in high spirits.
The old governor of the mansion presented a letter and a jade pendant.
The jade pendant was worn by Gao Peng himself and cannot be faked, and the letter was sent from Liangshanbo, signed with the four characters "well-known but not known". The letter also sent not only Gao Peng's personal jade pendant, but also a lock of hair. The threat is self-evident.
Gao Qiu frowned and opened it to read. The tone of the letter was extremely arrogant. The person who wrote the letter knew clearly that the target of blackmail was the current Taiwei, but there was a smell of arrogance and arrogance in every line. Gao Qiu had blue veins on his forehead. Jump straight.
The letter bluntly asked for 100 good horses, 500 crossbows, 1,000 sets of armor and a number of supporting weapons. It also requested door-to-door delivery. Everything must be delivered to Liangshanbo by water. goods.
That's right, Zou Run openly admitted in the letter that it was Liang Shan who did it, without hiding anything. Because Lin Chong's story of going to Liangshan was well known in the world, and a little research on the matter would reveal that there was no need to hide it.
