The Red Mansions

Chapter 730 Jia Heng: Come here, delay and torture!

In front of Yangzhou Hundred Households Office
Surrounded by the guards of the Jinyi Mansion just now, Ma Zesheng, who was very brave, fell to the ground at this moment, feeling pain in his internal organs, unable to get up for a long time!

You Qi felt the soreness in his arm, and looked at the boy on the horse in horror. At this moment, one of his subordinates was about to help Ma Zesheng up.

Suddenly, the man only heard the bad wind in his ears, followed by the sound of piercing through the air. He felt a pain in the back of his neck, screamed, and immediately fell to the ground, with blood gurgling down to Ma Zesheng's hand.

Ma Zesheng felt the sticky blood next to his hand, and looked at the boy on horseback in horror, as if seeing a ghost!
It turned out that the young man immediately picked up a weapon with the Xiuchun knife, and with a wave of his hand, he pierced the neck and killed the enemy!
At this moment, Jia Heng swung the Xiuchun Knife to the ground, where he passed, blood rained, and the sound of pained groans kept coming and going. He killed several people in a few breaths, and drove his horse close to the masked young man who fell to the ground.

Just now he deliberately didn't kill the person who was obviously the leader, so that he could be caught alive and tortured, and seeing that someone rushed to help him, he was undoubtedly the leader of the bandit!

Afterwards, following Jia Heng's attack, Chen Xiao, Liu Jixian and others behind him also led their followers to kill the surrounding pirates.

Seeing this, Nie Hong, who led a group of guards from the Jinyi Mansion to fight against the pirates in Yangzhou Hundred Households, shouted loudly: "The governor is here, the governor is here!"

Immediately, the morale of the guards of Jinyi Mansion, who had been fighting hard, was greatly boosted, and the situation that had been stalemate gradually tilted towards Jin Yi Mansion.

It can be said that the pirates of the Ma family, or dead soldiers, are not inferior to Jinyifuwei in terms of willpower or fighting skills, and even worse. The exchange of casualties between the two sides is more serious than that of Jinyifuwei.

Because the guards of the Jinyi Mansion are all officials of the imperial court, their will to fight to the death may not be comparable to the dead soldiers raised and trained by the Ma family. Fortunately, Ma Zesheng was fooled when he saw it, and he did not dare to entangle with the guards of the Jinyi Mansion, and the pirates under him did not have the will to fight to the death. I just want to kill a bloody way so that I can escape.

At this moment, Lao Ding and all the pirates saw that Ma Zesheng was in danger, and came to rescue him one after another, but they met Jia Heng riding alone.

Jia Heng was already close to Ma Zesheng, and said to Chen Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on him, don't let him run away, wait for reinforcements."

Before coming, he had already gone to the North City of Yangzhou to inform Qu Guang that reinforcements would be sent to the Baihusuo government office later.

But so far, it has been hacked and killed for a while, and neither the Yamen of the prefect of Yangzhou nor the camp of Jiangbei has seen a single soldier sent!
This land of Yangzhou is the Yangzhou of the salt merchants, or the Yangzhou of the imperial court! ?
Jia Heng's heart was cold, and he raised his knife to kill a large number of pirates, helping General Jinyi to quickly wipe out the enemy pirates.

Chen Xiao responded, and with two personal guards raised their knives to kill the pirates who wanted to save Ma Zesheng.

As time passed, the Jinyi generals in Jia Heng's Yangzhou Hundred Households Scattered the pirates from the courtyard, encircled them outside, and gradually gained the upper hand.

The pirates under Ma Zesheng, under the leadership of Lao Ding, rescued Ma Zesheng while breaking through in all directions.

However, at this moment, the rapid and chaotic sound of "da da" horseshoes sounded from both sides of the long street.

The reinforcements led by Qu Guang, the commander of the Henan Capital, have arrived!

Earlier, the soldiers and horses came to Pingshan, buried pots and cooked food, and waited until evening, under the cover of night, to head towards Yangzhou City.

On the way, he was blocked by soldiers from the Jiangbei camp who were searching for and blocking the road. He had a conversation with the guards of Jinyifu who accompanied him, and then led them to Nancheng where the hundred households in Yangzhou were located.

But it is here.

As a large number of reinforcements from Qu Guang surrounded from both sides, the pirates in front of the entire Yangzhou Hundred Households became more and more panicked.

Ma Zesheng roared angrily: "Old Ding, take the people away!"

At this moment, Jia Heng no longer chased and killed the fleeing pirates, but, together with Chen Xiao, blocked the dead soldiers who came to rescue Ma Zesheng.

Accompanied by the sound of killing, cavalry troops poured in from both sides of the street like a tide, and strangled towards the pirates, while the pirates fled towards the streets.

Chen Xiao looked up at the soldiers and horses, and said in a clear voice, "The overall situation is settled."

Jia Heng didn't answer, looked at Ma Zesheng, and said in a cold voice: "Come here, grab this dog, hold it down, and torture it!"

With a promise, Li Shu led his personal guards and rushed towards Ma Zesheng.

The crimes committed by the Ma family are all capital crimes, and the prison is nothing more than one more crime.

However, it is necessary to know how these remnants of the Ma family sneaked into Yangzhou City?

Then, accompanied by Chen Xiao, Jia Heng entered the official office of Jinyi Hundred Households. At this moment, the corridor eaves and courtyard were covered with blood, and he could barely set foot.

Nie Hong, a hundred households of Yangzhou Hundred Households Office, and Fang Ying, a hundred households of Jinyi Mansion, walked quickly, and clasped their fists together and said: "I have seen the governor!"

Jia Heng glanced at the two of them coldly, and asked, "How many casualties did Jin Yi have? We got the news in advance, so there are so many casualties?"

The hearts of the two men trembled, they bowed their heads tightly, and repeatedly confessed their crimes.

Jia Heng ignored the two of them and walked towards the official hall, sitting behind the table.

"What's the next step?" Chen Xiao couldn't help asking.

Jia Heng pondered: "Torture the Ma family first, arrest the salt merchants involved in the case, and clean up the Jiangbei camp."

"My lord, Ma Zesheng and the several pirates who were captured alive will be sent to the execution room for interrogation separately." Liu Jixian entered the official hall and said with cupped hands.

After a while, Henan Metropolitan Commander Qu Guang led several generals into the official hall, clasped his fists to salute Jia Heng, and said: "Jie Shuai, the Ma family pirates are all wiped out, please show me."

Jia Heng looked at the generals of the Henan Capital Division, and said in a deep voice: "General Qu, together with Jinyi Mansion, sent people to Cheng's Manor to arrest people, block them all, and don't let anyone escape!"

It was from the Cheng family that Jinyi Mansion's eyeliner reported earlier, and the Cheng family also had a copy of the previous confession about smuggling with Donglu.

Originally, it was intended to be lured but not sent out, but it jumped out and was eager to lead to death.

"Yes." Qu Guang accepted the order, and then divided up with Liu Jixian to take the man.

And with the arrival of the generals and schools of Henan Dusi to Yangzhou, Yangzhou city once again fell into chaos and panic.

At this moment, the Cheng Family Manor——

Even in the middle of the night, the lights of the manor were still on. In the study, Cheng Peili was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting for the news, while the previous Huang Cheng and Bao Zuhui were also waiting anxiously.

Although the arrow was on the string and had to be launched, he was worried that if he failed, the Cheng family would really have to flee overseas.

In this era, countries in Nanyang paid tribute to Chen Han, such as the Zhenzhen Kingdom and Qianxiang Kingdom mentioned in the original book of the Red Chamber, and the Cheng family naturally had connections.

"Master is not well, a large number of officers and soldiers have arrived outside the manor." At this moment, the old housekeeper stumbled from the outside, panting out of breath.

Hearing this, Cheng Peili's complexion changed drastically, and he sighed.

Bao Zuhui said: "Old Cheng, it's over, it's over, this is someone who got caught."

Cheng Peili showed a look of pain, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Old Bao, it's useless to complain now."

He had long thought that such a day would come. Ever since Uncle Yongning went south, he had been vaguely aware of such a day, so he encouraged several salt merchants to fight against Uncle Yongning.

As he spoke, he looked at his son Cheng Hao at the side and said, "Hao'er, are you all packed?"

Cheng Hao nodded and said, "Father, the boat is ready at the water gate."

At this time, Bao Zuhui looked ugly and said, "Old Cheng, what are you going to do?"

Cheng Peili said: "We can't stay in Yangzhou. It's important for us to escape first. The property in Yangzhou is also gone. My Cheng family went out from the tunnel, boarded a boat, and escaped from the canal to the sea. I have spoken to General Hu Can and Zhao Youzhan, and I can go out while this is the time."

As he said that, there was a bit of resentment in his heart.

Who wants to abandon the foundation built by his ancestors and go to a foreign country to escape, so he must avenge this revenge!
Seeing this, Huang Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Old Cheng, what are you going to do?"

"What to do? People have already sharpened their knives, and we are still fighting here. In the past, in the Ming Dynasty, merchants were not like this. I selected Jia Heng from the imperial court to go south, and I prepared for this day." Cheng Peili sighed, a little pitiful Looking at Bao Zuhui intently.

He doesn't even have such a sense of urgency in times of peace, how did he live so long at such a young age?
Merchants in this land, good times come and go, how can there be a good end?

Bao Zuhui said anxiously: "Didn't Master Wang go to Jinling, he hasn't reached this point yet?"

Cheng Peili said: "Stop talking nonsense, let's run away with me, wait until we get out to sea, and then we will take revenge!"

His purpose of pulling these two families is to use the financial resources of the two families to bribe the pirates, and then wait for the opportunity to get revenge!
In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, there are six or seven gangs of pirates, large and small, who are engaged in smuggling business with the north and the south. There are 3 or [-] people in total. Kou infestation!
In fact, this was the result of Dodo’s hard work at the beginning, but many of the pirates colluded with local merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If there was money to be made, they would take a boat to negotiate, collect water, and collect protection fees, but no one would eat it. Full of support against the court.

Bao Zuhui's pupils shrank sharply, and he said anxiously: "Old Cheng, you want me to let go of the whole family and escape with you?"

Huang Cheng's heart was also beating violently, and he said with a smile: "Old Cheng, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

However, just as he turned around, he saw two big men with big arms and round waists with fierce faces stopping Huang Cheng.

Cheng Peili's face was hidden in the darkness, and he said in a cold voice: "If you don't escape, you will be caught by the officers and soldiers, and you will not be able to escape! If it wasn't for the old friendship of more than ten years, do you think I care about your life?"

Huang Cheng and Bao Zuhui looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

With the shouts of the officers and soldiers outside, Cheng Peili, his two sons, and dozens of dead soldiers walked along a tunnel dug in the early years to the water gate, and the boats were waiting there.

As for the daughter, daughter-in-law and grandson, they were sent out long before Jia Heng came to Yangzhou.

It can be said that Cheng Peili, who had read a lot of books when he was young and was well aware of the land's attitude towards merchants, was the first person to make bad plans. He had already planned to run away at any time.

Manor real estate, jewelry, land deeds, and the properties of Yangzhou City are discarded here. As for the gold and silver earned every year, they have already been quietly transferred out.

Yangzhou Hundred Households Office
Jia Heng was sitting behind a lacquered wooden desk, and the bronze sculpture of a descending tiger behind him was horrifying under the light. His eyes wandered to look at the Jinyi captain who came back to report, and he frowned, and asked: "The people of the Cheng family Have you ever caught it?"

"Captain, General Qu asked the humble officer to report the news. The people in the Cheng family's manor went to the empty building, and the people of the Cheng family fled in fear of crime and disappeared." The captain in Jinyi clasped his hands and reported.

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, looked at the gloomy young man, and said: "There must be something like a tunnel. With so many people in the Cheng family, it is inconvenient to escape by land. That is the waterway. Let the sailors of Jiangbei Daying operate the boat." Block the waterway."

"I'm afraid they've bribed the general and the school to give them convenience, but they won't be able to catch them." Jia Heng's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, "Qu Guang, send a boat to take over the Jiangbei camp and follow them along the canal from Shuimen. Search, they can't escape far!"

At this moment, the only omission in Yangzhou is that he still has a direct descendant who has entered Yangzhou City. Whether it is by fast horses along the river and land or by fast boats, they should be able to search for the fleeing Cheng family.

The previous search for Duoduo was that Jinyi Mansion led Jiangbei soldiers and horses to find people in the middle of the night. Jiangbei camp sent out 5000 people, divided into [-] teams, or blocked the ferry, or searched for Duduo. You can't count on foreign workers at all.

In other words, it was Jinqian Jinyi Tiqi who actually did the work that night, and the people in Jiangbei Daying were basically bastards.

"Go to Shuifu and call Shuiyu here." Jia Heng looked at Li Shu and said in a low voice.

This is the adverse effect of not rectifying the generals of the Jiangbei battalion, otherwise these people would be caught in a urn, and none of them could escape. But when the soldiers from Henan never came, how could they mess around?
As for leading troops to the south, the Yangzhou salt merchants were panicked and would only run faster.

"My lord, Yuan Jichong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, sent a judge to inquire your lord. There are soldiers and horses in Yangzhou city, and they want to see your lord." After a while, a captain in Jinyi entered the official hall and reported to Jia Heng.

Yuan Jichong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, saw soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, and quickly sent someone to inquire. Hearing that Jia Heng had returned to Yangzhou, he quickly sent someone to inquire.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Tell him, I don't have time to see him, let him send soldiers to suppress the streets, there are so many pirates, I don't know anything about it."

He had already delivered the Chen Zoushu about Duoduo's assassination to the capital, and he gave the Yangzhou magistrate eye drops by the way.

When the captain in Jinyi, who reported the matter, left, Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao who was standing beside him holding a knife, and said, "You go back to the back hall to rest first, you don't have to stay up all night with you."

Chen Xiao said in a low voice, "I'm not sleepy."

Seeing this, Jia Heng didn't insist anymore, but asked someone to prepare a teacup, and waited while drinking tea with Chen Xiao.

After about a cup of tea, Captain Jinyi came to report: "Shuiyu is here."

Shui Yu, the Deputy Envoy of Jiangbei Daying Jiedu, led two followers, came to the official office, looked at the boy in python suit who was sitting at the head with a gloomy expression, and suddenly said, "Master Jia, it's so late , What's the matter with summoning the next officer?"

Jia Heng looked at the middle-aged general, his eyes were slightly cold, and said: "The killing noise in Yangzhou City is loud, and the cavalry is everywhere, General Shui didn't hear anything?"

Shui Yu asked in amazement: "This... there are many soldiers and horses on this road, did you find the traces of Donglu again? And the bloodstains in the Hundred Households of Jinyi Mansion, what's going on?"

Jia Heng's complexion was as frosty, and he said: "People from the Ma family entered Yangzhou City and went to the hundred households of Jinyi Mansion to rob the imperial court. Now the Jiangbei camp is clearly guarding Yangzhou like an iron bucket. How did these people get in? of?"

Shui Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and said: "Lord Jia, this... these few days, the subordinate officials have been recuperating in the mansion, and they don't care about military matters. Usually, they are Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi, etc. The person presided over the camp affairs, and the two generals Hu Gui and Yan Ruiwen dispatched the soldiers in detail."

The Jiangbei battalion has [-] soldiers, divided into five battalions and guards, with four guards in the front, back, left, and right commanding envoys, and the Chinese army has two generals to assist the Jiedu envoys in managing military affairs.

Jia Heng said: "Come and call the above people over!"

Shui Yu looked at the generals of the Henan Dusi at the side, feeling bad, and asked, "Master Jia, who are these generals?"

He saw these cavalry soldiers on the road, but he didn't recognize them at all, they were obviously soldiers and horses dispatched from elsewhere.

"Jiangbei Daying's military discipline is lax. Up to now, the bandits have attacked hundreds of households in Jinyi Mansion, but there is still not a single soldier sent. The king of the captives assassinated them. So far, they have worked hard but have not found anything!" Jia Heng said here, his face froze. Ru Bing said in a clanging voice: "I was ordered to rectify the Jiangbei camp and mobilize the soldiers of the Henan capital to take over the Jiangbei camp. These are all generals transferred from the Beijing camp to Henan. They are all sharp fighters who put down the rebellion. Jiangbei Camp is in a state of depression."

Shui Yu was startled when he heard this, and looked at the boy in python in disbelief.

Allocate soldiers and horses in Henan?What is this for?Is this to clean up Jiangbei Camp?
Jia Heng said: "The soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei battalion need to be recruited from various places. Before that, the defense of Jiangbei is of great importance. I will transfer infantry from Henan. There will be another [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangbei. Soldiers and horses weed out the old and the weak, retain the elite, and transfer all of them to the navy."

Shui Yu's back was covered with cold sweat, his eyes flickered, thinking about the pros and cons.

This is the picture!

Jia Heng said: "General Shui, Jiangbei's soldiers are now disorganized and their combat power is low. It's time to rectify and eliminate them. I don't have to pursue the past, but now that Jiangbei is reorganizing its military affairs, it must not be accepted." People are blocking it! General Shui, Your Majesty is very worried about this matter."

When Shui Yu heard the words, he was already terrified, and he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Yongning is a privy of the military plane, and his power shakes the world. I will obey the military orders."

The situation is stronger than the people, not to mention that soldiers were transferred from Henan.

At this moment, Captain Jinyi reported: "My lord, Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi and others are here."

Jia Heng looked slightly cold, and said, "Let them come over."

After a while, Jiedu Judge Huang Xian, Marching Sima Zhou Bi, Counselor Hu Gui, and Yan Ruiwen entered the official office one after another, and they also smelled the bloody smell in the courtyard that had not been washed away with clean water.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shui Yu who was sitting upright on the armchair beside him, as if nothing had happened.

Huang Xian, Zhou Bi, Hu Gui, and Yan Ruiwen cupped their hands at the young man in python behind the case and said, "I've seen my lord before."

Jia Heng glanced at the four people sharply, and asked: "Just tonight, Ma Xianjun's son Ma Zesheng led hundreds of pirates to sneak into Yangzhou City. You led the troops to block the ferry. Have you ever noticed?"

Jiedu Judge Huang Xian is a middle-aged man in his forties. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Jia, Yangzhou has many water systems. We don't know about it."

"Hundred households in Yangzhou were attacked by pirates who robbed the prison, and the sound of killing was loud. The patrol battalion of Jiangbei Daying was less than three miles away. Why did they arrive so late? Did Huang Jie know the reason?" Jia Heng asked again.

But this time, Huang Xian obviously noticed something unusual, hesitated for a while, and gently tugged the sleeve of the marching judge Yan Ruiwen beside him.

The marching judge Yan Ruiwen said with a bitter face: "My lord, the previous military order ordered the arrest of the Eastern captives. I waited for the soldiers to search day and night, and I dared not leave my post without authorization. I heard the sound of killing. I think the generals below are slack. Strictly investigate this matter."

Hu Gui also complained: "Brothers have not been paid for a long time, but they have to search and arrest the criminals overnight. The brothers below have complaints."

Seeing this scene, Shui Yu frowned and moved his lips, wanting to say something, but remembering Jia Heng's previous warning, he could only keep silent.

Jia Heng's face was gloomy and he said: "Since you said that the military salary has not been paid, how much military salary have been deducted these years? Come, take down these treacherous and greedy four people!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards of the Jinyi Mansion came from the eaves of the corridor, promised, and pushed the four of them to the ground.

"This..." The four of them were a little dazed and didn't react for a while.

Without him, since Jia Heng came to the Jiangbei camp, he has never resorted to thunderous tactics. Instead, he went to the Jinling military department to help collect his salary. The soldiers of the Jiangbei camp gradually lost their vigilance, but they did not want to suddenly attack.

Huang Xian put his face on the ground and struggled anxiously: "What crime have I committed?"

But Hu Gui shouted to Shui Yu: "Jie Shuai, what did we do to treat us like this?"

Jia Hengdao: "Greedy about soldiers' salaries, incompetent in running the army, tyrannical invaders, and neglecting military affairs! As a military privy officer, Minister of the Ministry of War, I am ordered by the Holy Order to rectify the camp affairs. How can I allow you to argue and deceive each other here?"

"Come on, drag it down and torture me!"

At this moment, Liu Jixian took a booklet from the outside, glanced at the few people, but still said: "My lord, the Ma family has confessed."

When interrogating the confessions of the dead members of the Ma family, Ma Zesheng was obviously like his father, and he was tortured without saying a word.

But with dozens of people captured alive, there will always be people who are greedy for life and fear of death who are willing to confess, and it is almost certain that it is Ma Zesheng who was supported by the Cheng family.

This has real evidence, but because there was evidence of the Cheng family smuggling to Donglu before, and now they are absconding in fear of crime, it is nothing more than more evidence.

The Cheng and Ma families were originally a family of in-laws. The eldest of the Ma family married Cheng Peili's daughter, but the eldest of the Ma family has not yet caught her.

Jia Heng said simply: "Say."

"My lord, according to the confession of the Ma family, the Ma family's entry into the city depends on the Cheng family's support." Liu Jixian said in a low voice.

Jia Heng asked: "Did you say how they got into Yangzhou city?"

Liu Jixian glanced at Jiedu judge Huang Xian and the others, and said coldly: "It is said that the generals of the Jiangbei camp were bribed. One is named Huang, one is named Hu, and the other is a guerrilla named Zhao. people, those people don't know."

At this moment, Huang Xian and the others were pale and terrified.

"Take these people down and torture them." Jia Heng said coldly.

Once it is confirmed, tomorrow he will march the law and reorganize the Jiangbei camp. How can there be fewer heads to sacrifice the flag?
"Yes." All Jinyi responded with clasped fists, escorted the four of Huang Xian and went outside.

"Shui Jie Shuai, I've been wronged, wronged!" Huang Xian and the others shouted one after another, knowing that under torture in Jinyi Mansion, they would definitely not be able to hold on.

Shui Yu closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.

The situation is gone, he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself.

Jia Heng glanced at Shui Yu, and told the experience department: "Someone draws up a notice of the case, and sends it to the Jinling Mansion for publication, so as to quell the debate."

Two salt merchants in Yangzhou were both involved in the case of collusion with Donglu. This matter is bound to calm the public opinion of scholars, and the province is full of ups and downs, and the relevant evidence has almost been prepared.

After a while, he will go to Shenjing to write a memorial and report on this matter.

Back in the back hall, Jia Heng found the memorial book and began to write the memorial.

Chen Xiao sat on the side, looked at the young man who was writing the memorial to Beijing, felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow the city of Yangzhou will be stormy and rainy, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou will definitely be even more frightened."

Jia Heng said: "One day, besides, I haven't mentioned the word "salt affairs" so far. I have been these salt merchants from the beginning to the end, and I have a guilty conscience."

It's really not that easy to check the salt affairs, but if you mention a few words, these people can form a group.

At that time arresting people was definitely not as confident as it is now, and so far, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Jinling and the six departments of Jinling are all watching the development of the situation with cold eyes.

However, this situation is estimated to not last for too long. As the methods become more and more radical, the imperial censor's impeachment must come one after another.

Chen Xiao looked at the young man who was writing at the desk. Under the light, his profile was handsome and flawless, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and asked, "Should we be tortured for the evidence that the salt warehouse is empty?"

Jia Heng put down the writing brush in his hand, and waited for the ink to dry on the paper. He raised his eyes, looked at the girl with a beautiful face, whose eyes were averted for some reason, and said, "It takes an opportunity to intervene in the salt business and check the deficit. After that, When the affairs of the Jiangbei camp are decided, and Qi Kun assists in the investigation and dispatch to Beijing, we can wait for Ming to issue an order, but that is the end."

This is to just do it without talking, do it in a hurry, and then make a final decision.

After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "As for the salt merchants, if someone flees, someone will join in."

Chen Xiao's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly in his heart.

If this person is not the heir of the deposed prince, but is really a good helper to that person, she really has to find an opportunity to assassinate him.

But it's good now, even though he is young, he has already shown the appearance of a wise king.

……

……

And as time passed, it gradually approached dawn.

In the early morning, Yangzhou Salt Court Yamen, Yangzhou salt merchants except Wang Shouqi in Jinling, other Yangzhou salt merchants, Liu Shengzao, the transshipment envoy of the two Huaihe Rivers, and Yuan Jichong, the prefect of Yangzhou, gathered in the Yangzhou Salt Court Yamen.

A large number of foreign soldiers and horses entered Yangzhou City, Cheng's family was seized by the officers and soldiers, and there were shouts of killing from the direction of the Jinyi Hundred Households last night. What is going on with this Yongning Bo who went to Jinling?
