"Cough." Zhang Tian coughed in embarrassment, pointed to the letter and said, "The prince's words are all in the letter, Mr. He should read it by himself."

He Jiaan smiled, took out the letter paper, glanced at it quickly, and then snorted disdainfully: "This traitor is really stingy, his son is in my hands, but he said something to me and let me go!" Ma, if you retreat immediately, these words are not what I want to hear. Zhang Tian, ​​you go back and tell him that if you want Zhu Yi to live, you will immediately prepare 100 million taels of silver for me and send it to Pazhou City. If you can't prepare the one million taels of silver before the sun rises tomorrow in one day today... Hehe, then don't blame me for being rude."

One day, 100 million taels?

Not only Zhang Tian was speechless, but even King Ning was dumbfounded.

It's not that I don't have money, but most of the money has been used by me to expand the army and pay the army. Although I still have some stocks at this time, I have prepared them for emergencies. This is good. He Jiaan asked for 100 million taels, and what he was worried about was that after he really sent the 100 million taels into the city, what would happen if He Jiaan asked for another 100 million taels.

After hesitating again and again, King Ning shook his head: "Zhang Tian, ​​if you go to Paju again, you say that the king only has 70 taels in his hand, so can He Jia'an take a step back?"

"Yes."

Zhang Tian quickly returned to Paju, but He Jiaan didn't listen to any explanation at all, and insisted that it must be 100 million. If the money didn't arrive, Zhu Yi's head would fall to the ground at dawn tomorrow.

"Okay, 100 million is 100 million." King Ning was dizzy for a while, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the city of Paju: "He Jia'an, I'm afraid that you will spend your money instead of spending it."

Chapter 1514 An Empty City

Chapter 1514 An Empty City

It was supposed to be a battle-torn battlefield, but now the most bizarre scene happened. The attacking party packed millions of taels of silver in a carriage, pushed them to the front of the formation and lined them up, and Zhang Tian came to the city wall again. Below, shouted loudly: "Master He, the silver is ready, you can put the prince down."

Uh?

He Jiaan probed to see, let alone, silver carts were placed under the city wall in a decent manner.

After taking a look, He Jiaan smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, it's not that I'm careful, it's because King Ning's reputation is not very good. How can I know if the money is inside? So I have to pull it in and check carefully. "

"Ah?" Zhang Tian was taken aback for a moment, what should he do now?He Jia'an's intention is clearly not to let anyone take the money in, but what if he doesn't keep his word?With so much money, how can I have the right to be the master.

Shaking his head, Zhang Tian said with a wry smile: "Master He wait a moment, the miscellaneous family has to ask the Lord Long Live."

"Hurry up and come back, it's going to be dark soon, you princes have delicate skin and tender flesh, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the torment and the cold."

Zhang Tian was taken aback when he heard that, in such a cold day, if he hangs the crown prince overnight, he will freeze to death. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with He Jiaan, so he quickly retreated, and learned what He Jiaan just said, and almost killed Ning. Wang's nose was crooked in anger.

This He Jiaan is really deceiving people too much. The silver cart has been delivered to the bottom of the city. He still doubts whether the silver inside is real or not, but the safety of his son is more important than anything else. King Ning gritted his teeth and said: "Then let him take the silver cart. Move into town to check."

OK then.

Zhang Tian came back again and learned the words from He Jiaan. The gate of Paju City immediately opened creakingly. Zhang Tian was close and his eyes were good. Scared myself to death.

My goodness, how come there are so many Franco cannons in here?There are almost hundreds of doors densely packed. It seems that He Jiaan is also well prepared, and he is ready to go to war.

Just when the expression on Zhang Tian's face was uncertain, He Jia'an's subordinates quickly pulled all the silver carts into the city, and then the gate of Paju city was tightly closed again.

Zhang Tian waited anxiously at the bottom of the city, but seeing that it was almost dark and no one appeared on the city wall, Zhang Tian became anxious now, and shouted loudly at the city wall: "Master He, Has the money been inspected? Hurry up and put the prince down."

After shouting three times in a row, a baby face finally appeared on the city wall, and he shouted impatiently at Zhang Tian: "What's the rush, you have to count all the money, in case you get mixed up with a few fake ingots!" , who will make up for this loss?"

I go.

You have paid out the one million taels of silver, how can you still be short of ten or eight taels?Zhang Tian almost got angry with his old blood, and was afraid of offending the other party, so he hurriedly begged: "Little general, you can count the money slowly, can you let the prince down first, this has been hanging for a day, don't let me go!" what happened."

"Oh, that's it." The baby-faced Tang Xiao looked up at Zhu Yi on the pole, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, since you are begging, I will let him come down for a rest, but we can agree Now, if there is a fake silver ingot, I will hang this person back immediately."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Tian responded dumbfounded, and finally saw Zhu Yi being let down from the flagpole.

Zhang Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he still has breath, he was thinking about trying to get him back, but the baby face showed his face again, waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go back first, my husband said Now, the money will be counted overnight, if it is true, he will be released early tomorrow morning."

What?Want tomorrow?

Zhang Tian was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to intercede again, the baby face had already retreated, no matter how much he shouted, no one showed his head again, Zhang Tian had no choice but to retreat, and learned Tang Xiao's words from King Ning again .

After hearing this, King Ning could only sigh helplessly, looked at Paju City in the distance unwillingly, and waved his hand in great disappointment: "Withdraw."

This night was another sleepless night for King Ning. With the lessons learned from yesterday, the defenses of the entire camp have been strengthened several times today. Came to Paju City.

Just when he saw the city wall of Paju, King Ning's heart skipped a beat. From a distance, there was another figure hanging on the flagpole at the head of Paju city. Although he couldn't see who it was from afar, he always had something ominous in his heart. He quickly waved his hand, his voice trembling: "Zhang Tian, ​​go and see who is hanging on the flagpole."

Zhang Tian groaned secretly, and hurriedly ran over on his horse. When he came to the bottom of the city wall, he fell off his horse and knelt on the ground, crying loudly.

It’s over.

Seeing Zhang Tian's movements, King Ning felt his eyes go dark. He didn't understand that the one hanging on the flagpole was his own son. Looking at his motionless body, he might have already lost his breath.

"He Jia'an, I swear, I will catch you in this life, rub your bones and spread ashes, and punish your entire family." After cursing, King Ning waved his hand: "Xu Aiqing, take Paju City today."

"Observe the order." Xu Jiuling also realized that King Ning was cruel. Thinking of this, he immediately prepared the cavalry in the front and the infantry in the rear according to his own arrangement. After pulling the opponent's artillery, he moved the artillery forward and blasted the opponent's city wall. .

The cavalry started to move, the infantry started to move, and within a few hundred steps, they rushed to the city of Pazhou in an instant. What made Xu Jiuling a little puzzled was why there was still no movement on the city of Pazhou after such a long time, so why did He Jiaan run to the city again? where it goes?

No matter where he went, what should be attacked is still to be attacked. When the infantry attacked Paju City, they erected a ladder and climbed up. Among them, there was still no one in Paju City to obstruct it until the soldiers climbed to the top of the city. , Looking down, one by one was dumbfounded.

The whole of Paju is actually an empty city, without even a single person.

"What did you say? It's an empty city?" When King Ning heard this, his eyes straightened. How much preparation he had made for this day and how many people he had sacrificed. Wang Lun and Zhu Yi all died here. How dare you tell me now? Am I an empty city here?

What about He Jiaan?As for his family members, he was still waiting to kill his nine clans, why did he disappear?

Just as King Ning stood still, a mouthful of thick phlegm suddenly surged up and got stuck in his throat. King Ning immediately rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with his head up.

At this time, on the sea from Paju, the last fleet had left Paju, Tang Xiao said regretfully: "Sir, why don't you let me ignite all the gunpowder? Otherwise, many of them would have to be killed. "

"Why are you so fond of killing at such a young age." He Jiaan patted Tang Xiao's head, and then said with emotion: "Even if we don't kill them, they won't live long. When we meet again, it will be the moment of decisive battle."

Chapter 1515

Chapter 1515

Three days later, a huge painting boat sailed out from the direction of Nanjing. Unlike other painting boats on the river, this painting boat was guarded by brightly armored officers and soldiers, and there were dozens of strange-looking boats nearby. The gunboats wandered back and forth nearby, separating the other ships from the painting boats.

The security outside is heavy, but inside the painting boat is a scene of singing and dancing. Charcoal pots are lit in the corner of the cabin to keep out the cold wind and rain outside the window.

"Master Wang, please." He Jia'an raised his wine glass and persuaded with a smile.

The person sitting opposite him was none other than Wang Shouren, the censor of the Zuoqian capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who once fought side by side with him in Suzhou. I'm afraid I'll pass out after a few drinks."

"What are you afraid of getting drunk, just rest here for a night." He Jiaan smiled, drank the wine in the glass, gave a slight 'hiss' in his mouth, and praised: "Enough."

"Such strong wine, I'm afraid you can only drink such strong wine at Mr. He's place." Wang Shouren also took a sip of the wine, like a ray of fire flowing from his mouth into his stomach, and his body began to warm up a lot.

"If Mr. Wang likes it, he can take a few more altars with him when he leaves."

"Master He is really straightforward. What Wang likes most is working with people like you. Unlike some people in the court, who look forward and backward when doing things, not like a man."

Hearing Wang Shouren's complaints, he should also be a person with a story, He Jiaan smiled and waved his hands: "The cage is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Why does Mr. Wang require everyone to be like us? If there is a clean official, there must be a corrupt one." A group, no matter how you change it, you can’t change it.”
