Chapter 387 Your Majesty Comes to Settle Accounts
Xu Qi was furious, but after scolding, he fell silent again.
He doesn't have the slightest thought now to think about that damn Liu Guan.
So he was extremely bored and said: "Give him a good watch over him, and then I will settle the score with him!"
After hearing that, the friend nodded hurriedly.
The faces of the rest of the people became more and more anxious, and Xu Qi's heart was even more turbulent.
When everyone was fidgeting, finally, another person hurried over and said eagerly: "Xu Gong, Xu Gong..."
Xu Qi calmed down a little at this time, but his voice still trembled uncontrollably: "What's the matter?"
"The brocade guards everywhere...withdrew."
"What?" Xu Qi opened his eyes slightly and confirmed, "Withdrawn?"
"Yes." The visitor continued panting, "The Jinyiwei Tiqi guarding the treasury suddenly disappeared without a trace for some reason."
At this moment, Xu Qi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He opened and closed his eyes, as if he was asking others, but also himself: "What... is the reason?"
This news was really too surprising. At this time, there were whispers in the hall.
After the original Muyou's face flickered, he said slowly: "Is there a possibility that...something happened, so... Jinyiwei Tiqi withdrew..."
"An accident..." At this moment, Xu Qi cheered up, and his eyes lit up unconsciously.
He was a little excited, but deep down in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
A complex and inexplicable emotion was intertwined in him.
So, he closed his eyes first, and let out a heavy breath.
In the end, he opened his eyes: "What happened to Jiujiang Mansion?"
"Xu Gong..." Someone stood up, and this person was Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang.
Liu Lu said in a hoarse voice: "If it weren't for that, how could Tiqi Yinggou be willing to withdraw?"
Xu Qi said: "Then... what happened?"
He asked rhetorically.
But no one answered these words.
No one dared to answer.
But in fact, the answer is self-evident and already in the hearts of the people.
Jin Yiwei's information system is naturally better than the eyes and ears of ordinary officials.
So... It is not surprising that Jinyiwei in various places were the first to hear the news.
So... Now that the guards in Jinyi are acting like this all of a sudden, they don't even care about the treasury. The only possibility is obviously... the sky is falling.
How can the sky fall down?
unless……
Unless the pirates succeed.
Although Xu Qi had already predicted that the water thief had a great deal of confidence, after all, they were prepared to attack but unprepared.
It's too much to lose in this way.
But after all, he didn't dare to do anything before he really got the exact news.
After all, what he wanted to kill was Daming's first relative, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the famous Zhang Anshi!
And now, the thief... is finally dead.
Xu Qi's eyes collided with everyone's eyes, and they all understood each other.
Xu Qi immediately calmed down and said, "Go and find out what happened."
The visitor said: "Yes."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly retreated.
Xu Qi stood up, with his hands behind his back, showing a tired look.
After waiting for a whole night, now that he heard the news, he relaxed and felt drowsy, but at this time, he had to cheer up a little, and still ordered: "Everyone should perform their duties, so that you can live well."
Everyone stood up one after another, and their voices became lighter: "Yes."
Xu Qi looked at Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang, and said, "Young brother Liu stays here."
On weekdays, the two are in a relationship, and Xu Qi usually doesn't call him a good brother, but today they call him very intimate.
We are all grasshoppers on the same boat, at this time... it is only appropriate to get closer.
Liu Lu nodded and waited for everyone to retreat.
But Xu Qi said coldly: "Zhang Anshi...if he dies, I'm afraid I will be duty-bound. Your Majesty will anger me, and then... I'm afraid I'll be involved."
Liu Lu comforted: "Grand Liu... the death of this beast is God's will. This man's death is too much to be tolerated. Your Majesty... At most, you can only punish one crime of negligence, so what can you do? At worst, Xu The public will take care of him for some time when he returns to his hometown, and there will be a day of recovery in the future."
Xu Qi naturally knew that these were just words of comfort, but he only held his hands behind his back. He didn't believe that he was just dismissed from office.
In the end, he sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "Today, this is the only way to go. It's just that the corrupt situation here needs to be cleaned up by you in the end."
Liu Lu hurriedly said: "The lower officials and others are naturally duty-bound."
Xu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said: "What the old man is worried about is...then I will appoint an imperial envoy to investigate and deal with it..."
Liu Lu smiled and said: "After Zhang Anshi's death, no one will come to investigate again. Even if they come, let the imperial envoys come to investigate. What did he really find out? Does he dare to talk nonsense?"
Xu Qi pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, that's it."
…………
What Xu Qi didn't know was that at this time, there was a group of people running fast overnight.
They first took a boat, went all the way south, entered the waters of Poyang Lake, and then went down the Ganjiang River.
At noon, you can see the city walls in the distance, especially a tall building, which is faintly visible.
Zhang Anshi stood on the bow of the boat, a little behind Zhu Di. This was just an ordinary black-covered boat, and it was not stable in the water.
Zhu Di stood calmly at the bow of the boat, stretching his thick eyebrows, looking at the tall buildings.
Zhang Anshi also looked at the building, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the Tengwang Pavilion. According to legend, it was built by Li Shimin's brother Tengwang Li Yuanying."
Zhu Di said: "You don't need to tell me these allusions, I understand them better than you."
Zhang Anshi was embarrassed.
Zhu Di went on to say: "When this building was built, it was the second year of Zhenguan. At that time, the Great Tang Dynasty was waiting to be lifted. What kind of weather was it in the next hundred years? But now, where did the weather of the Han and Tang Dynasties go? What about it? The reason is that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was all rubble and ashes, so what is the problem?"
Zhu Di didn't seem to be asking Zhang Anshi.
In fact, Zhang Anshi wouldn't answer either, because it was a proposition.
Zhu Di immediately said: "Go ashore, enter the city!"
One after another, the ships arrived at a ferry on the river bank.
Immediately, the people on the shore who patrolled the waterway saw this and gathered one after another.
One person shouted: "Who..."
But the ships had already docked one after another, and the captain who jumped off immediately drew his sword and rushed forward.
There were only a few dozens of people in the inspection department. Seeing this, without saying a word, they immediately bowed down and begged for mercy.
In an instant, the situation was settled.
Zhu Di ignored it, and didn't even bother to give it a look. He only looked at the city wall not far away, with a gloomy expression.
Zhang Anshi carried a person behind him, and said, "How is it in the city?"
The man tremblingly said: "There is...no movement in the city."
Zhang Anshi asked again: "Why are you stationed here..."
"The villains are ordered to inquire about the whereabouts of Jinyiwei Tiqi."
Zhang Anshi smiled with a bit of arrogance in his lips, and said immediately: "Then there is no need to inquire, we are here."
The man turned pale with fright and let out a cry.
Zhang Anshi didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, he stood up straight, and said immediately, "Enter the city immediately!"
A command.
Hundreds of captains of the model battalion and more than 100 captains of Jinyi mixed together rushed to the city gate.
After a while, another group of people came, they led the horses, dressed in plain clothes, and the leader came to see the salute: "My humble hundred households Zhang Ding, I have seen your majesty, I have seen the governor, and I am here to serve His Highness and the governor. "
Zhu Di only nodded his head, and then got on his horse. Zhang Anshi had no choice but to lead a horse and get on his horse.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry and hundreds of people flocked to the city gate.
The guards at the city gate saw the movement and were caught off guard. Someone shouted eagerly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate..."
But it was obviously too late.
Someone galloped forward first, raised the knife and swung it down, beheading the person who shouted to close the city gate directly under the horse.
Then, all the riders surrounded Zhu Di and roared into the city gate.
Zhu Di rode his horse and raised his whip, facing the scorching sun, and looked around.
The gatekeepers at the city gate have long since dispersed.
They shouted loudly: "A thief has entered the city, a thief has entered the city!"
All of a sudden, the city seemed to explode.
Zhu Di and others did not wear armor, some were plainclothes but carried weapons, and some wore fish suits that symbolized their status, with different attires.
But these burly people are naturally different from ordinary people.
They rushed over suddenly and even beheaded a doorman, which naturally made people think that they were thieves.
The streets in the city, following the noise, were suddenly empty.
Zhu Di Lema stomped his feet, his face was ashen, he only felt that the blood in his body seemed to be surging at this moment.
…………
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..."
Someone stumbled into the chief envoy, his voice full of panic.
The silence in the chief envoy was broken.
When Xu Qi heard the movement, he knew that something serious had happened, and hurried out with a few subordinate officials, and said with a sullen face, "What's the matter?"
"There were thieves entering the city, there were hundreds of them...it was very vicious, they took the door, it's terrible..."
Xu Qi was shocked when he heard this.
The expressions of the assistant officer beside him and the Muyou who rushed over all changed.
"Lang Lang Qian Kun, where did the thief come from?" someone asked.
"No...I don't know..."
Everyone looked at Xu Qi one after another.
Xu Qi's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly said: "Those people, what do they look like?"
The man then said: "Some are dressed as ordinary people, but they all carry knives, and... there seem to be firecrackers... Not only that, the villain also saw... some people... wearing fish clothes..."
"Is it really a fish suit?" Xu Qi slightly opened his eyes.
"Yes, that's right, it's exactly the same as the Jinyi Wei Tiqi who sealed the treasury back then."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed suddenly.
"Xu Gong... Xu Gong... no... no... Jin Yiwei, let's go and come back."
Someone looked at Xu Qi anxiously.
A while later, another person came with a group of people, but Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang, also heard the news and panicked, so he hurriedly brought people to ask Xu Qi for advice.
"Grand Xu... what's going on?"
Xu Qi's face was very ugly, he frowned and said, "These people...damn them!"
Liu Lu hurriedly said: "Grand Xu, now is not the time to talk about this, Jin Yiwei suddenly came back, it must be... must be..."
Xu Qi calmed down at this moment, looked at him coldly and said, "Who said these people are Jin Yiwei?"
"cocoa……"
Xu Qi said: "There are many people wearing ordinary clothes, but there are also many people wearing fish clothes, and they all carry sharp knives... From this point of view, there is only one possibility."
Liu Lu looked suspicious, and said, "I also ask Mr. Xu to enlighten me."
Xu Qi spat out two words: "Water thief."
Liu Lu was shocked: "This..."
Xu Qi looked left and right, and the people on the side retreated wisely.
Only the confidantes are still standing in place.
Only then did Xu Qi continue: "Since the water thieves attacked Jiujiang Mansion and killed Zhang Anshi, it is understandable that these people have not changed their thieves' nature and snatched the clothes and armors of Zhang Anshi and others."
"But...why did they come here suddenly?"
"This is also the most troublesome thing for this old man." Xu Qi said.
"They came here this time. Wouldn't it make people misunderstand us... We colluded with them..."
Xu Qi frowned worriedly and remained silent.
"Could it be...a reward? Or..."
Xu Qi said: "No matter what, since people are coming, even if they want to stop them, it's too late. There are not many people in the city, and they may not be able to restrain them if they gather together. Instead of this, it's better...to come, gather people, Come with the old man."
Everyone listened to the order, and then someone went to contact the Commander Si Yamen.
Liu Rong, the commander of Nadu Siya, and Zhu Yu, the same prefect, came in a hurry with another team of officers and soldiers.
Xu Qi and the two looked at each other, tacit understanding.
Liu Rong cursed and said: "These thieves... dare to come here, they are really audacious."
"Since they dared to come, they presumably want to take credit for it..." Xu Qi said.
"How to deal with it?"
"You might as well stabilize them first. Most water thieves are rough people. It's easy to deal with them. Stabilize first. When the time comes, when the troops gather, kill them together. In this way... there is one more thing to protect the environment and the people." Other than that... it can be regarded as avenging Zhang Anshi."
This command made Liu Rong hide his smile, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it made some sense.
So, he whispered: "In the past few days, I have seen your benefactor..."
Xu Qi said ambiguously: "Let's deal with the matter in front of us first."
Liu Rong nodded.
Immediately, Xu Qi and Liu Rong headed towards the gate of the city with hundreds of people.
At this time, the street was already empty.
Halfway through the journey, I saw the other party's scouts coming and going.
Xu Qi and Liu Rong waited and watched for a while.
"Sure enough, you're definitely wearing a fish suit." Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "It must be a water thief."
"how to respond."
"Let's go to appease them first. No matter what they say, it doesn't matter whether they want Zhao'an or a reward. All in all, we should promise first, and then silence everything at the third watch."
Liu Rong glanced sideways at Xu Qi, and said, "Mr. Xu has good means."
Liu Rong ordered a person, and that person rode forward immediately, and then came to Zhu Di and others.
Zhu Di was riding a horse, and when he heard that there was someone from the chief envoy, he couldn't help being suspicious, so he called them to him.
This person is Xu Qi's confidant. When he saw Zhu Di and others, he only glanced at him, then he laughed, and then said kindly: "But are you in charge? I have long admired your name."
Immediately, the man said again: "The students are here under the orders of Mr. Xu, and you are in charge...why are you not happy in Jiujiang mansion, but come to Nanchang mansion again? After all, Mr. Xu and General Liu are imperial court officials. It is very inconvenient to negotiate with the masters, so I ordered the students to come here and have a talk with the masters."
Zhu Di looked at the scholar in front of him with strange eyes.
He said: "The Xu Gong you mentioned is that Xu Qi?"
The scholar cursed inwardly, a thief is a thief, and he will never be able to enter the hall of elegance. Xu Gong's first and last name are also called by you!
Look at the man in front of him, he is tall and tall, with a big beard and dark skin, he looks like a thief at first glance.
He immediately smiled, but in a gentle manner: "Exactly."
Zhu Di was originally resentful, but now... he was a little annoyed and laughed, and then said: "Talk, talk about what?"
The scholar then said: "I also ask you to be in charge, don't disturb this place, and leave the city immediately. The things discussed before will be fulfilled!"
"Everyone in charge, it is too hasty."
Zhu Di said, "What have you discussed?"
The scholar's face darkened slightly: "Mr. Xu knows that the leaders of the family are of great righteousness, so he is willing to cooperate with the leaders of the family to eradicate the villains for the world. Why are the leaders of the family not trustworthy?"
As soon as Zhu Di heard the word "elimination of adultery", he immediately became angry.
His hands trembled, and the whip in his hand was about to be smashed down.
But at this moment, Zhang Anshi laughed loudly and said, "Could it be Zhang Anshi that you are talking about treachery?"
The scholar said: "It is this country's thief."
Zhang Anshi smiled, and said cheerfully: "Then do you know, who is Zhang Anshi with?"
The scholar said: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty!"
As soon as these two words came out, the scholar's expression changed, and his face froze immediately.
He never thought that such a variable would appear.
In fact, not many people guessed that Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi were together, even Xu Qi was kept in the dark.
Zhang Anshi continued to laugh and said, "Don't you think that the emperor is also a national traitor?"
The scholar took a deep breath, obviously this had exceeded his expectations.
He gathered himself together, knowing that the matter has come to this point, presumably these water thieves must have discovered that the emperor died in the rebellion, so they came to Nanchang overnight, wanting to ask for an explanation.
At this time, it is still necessary to stabilize these people.
At that moment, he laughed loudly, and said lightly: "To be honest, today's son is killing his flesh and blood, slaughtering Zhongliang, rampant obscenity, law-enforcement, ignorance and lawlessness, and countless people in the world have been tortured by him." , weak people, wailing everywhere."
"This world is not ruled by him alone. Even if you kill the heroes, you will not be in the name of loyalty. If Mr. Xu knows, not only will you not be worried, but you will be very happy, and you will definitely praise you for taking charge of the people."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di was completely silent.
In other words, even the anger he was filled with disappeared at this moment.
Zhang Anshi looked speechless, because he really couldn't understand, what kind of mystery was the other party... playing tricks on.
Think you didn't die fast enough?
