Chapter 223.
In the Zhang family’s backyard, there were shouts of murder.
Zhang Anshi, in his gallant manner, commanded Zhu Yong, “Fetch my two sets of armor.”
Zhu Yong said: “Early brought, I know big brother to, later on the road to change.”
Zhang Anshi nodded, then turned back to Xu Jingyi and said, “This …… may be something today, I ……”
Only then did Xu Jingyi realize what the so-called one person, and the so-called bloodbath meant.
She was too shocked to speak for a moment.
However, he saw Zhang Anshi with an apologetic look on his face.
At this point it just felt like a blank slate.
Zhu Yong three, took the opportunity to say towards Xu Jingyi, “Sister-in-law ……”
Xu Jingyi settled down a little, as a bride, the makeup on her face today appeared to make her look dainty, at this time she looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly and said, “Is it dangerous?”
“It’s not dangerous.” On the wedding day, leaving his wife alone, Zhang Anshi still felt bad in his heart, so he earnestly said, “The mantis catches the cicada, but the yellow bird is just behind it, I’m the yellow bird, how can I be in danger?”
But after a pause, Zhang Anshi looked at Xu Jingyi’s slightly worried look, and couldn’t help but hesitate, “I think it’s better to forget it, I don’t have much use if I go, or the brothers go, I’m cavorting today …….”
Zhu Yong immediately stomped his feet in a hurry, “Big brother, we have no brains, if you don’t go, what should we do if something goes wrong?”
While Zhang Anshi was opening his mouth to say something, Xu Jingyi smiled faintly at him and said, “I see to it that I have to go, where is the rationale of having one’s own brother going to kill a thief and hiding at home? If this gets out, our Zhang family cannot afford to lose face. Husband, you have to go, when the time comes, you have to take the lead in order to convince the people.”
Today was her big day, of course she wanted her husband to stay, but after all, she came from a general’s family, and a general’s family has no dog daughters, so at times like this, she was still very generous!
At this time, the side of Zhang Yoking, see Zhang Anshi still look hesitant, directly pulling Zhang Anshi away: “Big brother, it’s too late.”
Zhang Anshi feels as if he has entered a den of thieves …… How do all these sons of generals …… look like they came out of the same mold?
So with a heart of gold, he gritted his teeth and said, “Those of the Inner Thousand Households, all of them come with me, and where are Gu Xingzu’s men and horses, and give him the signal.”
Turning back and glancing at his new wife, he nodded silently, as if everything was unspoken, and at that moment, he removed the groom’s hat from his head and walked straight out of the bridal chamber.
A group of people in the back trailed off in a murderous and aggressive manner.
It was Qiu Song who stayed behind and grinned at Xu Jingyi, “Sister-in-law, let me show you a treasure.”
With that, he pulled out a gunpowder packet from his pocket and said cheerfully, “If big brother doesn’t listen, stuff this under the bed and boom, big brother can fly three feet high.”
Xu Jingyi’s mood, which was still slightly heavy, actually gave way to a few points, and after glancing at it, she said, “This one our Xu family also has, don’t.”
Chuson was disappointed that the gift-giving failed, so he ended up dropping his head and running away as well.
After Xu Jingyi said that, a pair of big, delicate eyes, scanned the surroundings and directly closed the door.
On the contrary, outside lurking around the guests who wanted to listen to the cave, one by one dumbfounded, someone whispered a mumble: “No good, the bridegroom to kill thieves went.”
On the roof, someone was as light as a swallow, whooshing along the ridge of the house, jumped up a tree not far away, and then slipped down the tree, and in a moment, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
……
The Big Jail.
Kizuna was sitting on his knees.
His heart was beating faster at this point.
There was no day or night here, but he seemed to be meditating on the approximate time.
His hair, which had been loose, had been tied back, and the pus and blood on his body had been carefully wiped away.
Although he still couldn’t hide his mess, Ji Gang seemed to hope that his image at the moment would be slightly better.
The lieutenant brought the meal.
In the past, Ji Zhan had eaten extremely little, the meals here were very inferior, and with his serious injuries, he didn’t have an appetite.
But today, he was desperately trying to shove the shoddy food into his mouth one by one, while straining his neck and swallowing.
“It’s time for three minutes past the hour.”
Kizuna’s eyes snapped open.
There was an indescribable desire in those eyes.
The corners of his mouth, hooked up slightly with a few wry smiles.
…………
Into the night.
The sky was already darkening.
And at that moment, all sorts of cargo merchants were showing up at Qixia with cartloads of goods.
Today is a good day for Zhang Anshi to get married, Qixia side, but a lot of cold, many of the nobles, have gone to the capital.
Of course, people can be happy to see the Marquis get married.
“Almost really thought the marquis is good male style it, if it is true that do not marry a wife, which has no descendants, but also how the world town Qixia?”
“Who said good male style can not marry and have children? You really have no insight at all, I have to say, when I was mistakenly thought that the marquis he is actually a celestial castrate, celestial castrate know what is not? It is born without eggs, so shy to marry! God pity, our marquis is a normal man, the future ah, we do business in Qixia, do not have to worry about, the future of his son town of Qixia, can not even his father made the rules are pushed back to start again it.”
“I and you are different, I at first thought that the marquis is a small age, the hair is not even grown, and women hang out together, he is the crown prince’s wife and brother ah, what women do not have? I heard that the crown prince in his ten years old, gave him ninety-nine beauty, also thought that he was then no moderation, body play bad, which is not close to the female sex it! Hey …… I’m too confused, I shouldn’t think of the marquis like this, the marquis body is hard, even if he didn’t know moderation and self-love at a young age, he must be mighty now.”
“Yes, our Marquis is not an ordinary person, even if he wields the seven women at night, I will be in a hurry with anyone who dares to speak ill of him.”
That one by one, the carriages and horses were stopped by the errand boys.
Someone came forward with a smile on his face, and then took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the hand of the officer, whispering something in the officer’s ear.
The errand boy heard this, but he said with a straight face, “We are a place of rules in Qixia, stop the car, dismount, and check!”
He said, pushing Silver straight away.
Then the visitor showed a scowl.
And then a dagger shook out of his sleeve.
The errand boy exclaimed, but it was too late.
The dagger stabbed hard into the errand boy’s heart.
The errand boy stifled a grunt and took a step back before collapsing right back down.
The sudden commotion seemed to have alerted the streets everywhere.
The murderer quickly withdrew his dagger, and then said viciously, “Hurry!”
So one by one, in the carriages and horses, jumped out a lot of black-clothed people to, do not need to much command, these black-clothed people but already towards the direction of that Qixia prison.
Meanwhile, fires rose in various parts of the capital.
Under this night, the firelight was extraordinarily blinding.
“Out of the water, out of the water …… fast …… fast ……”
…………
Iwangju went crazy and rushed to the martial arts building.
“Royal Brother, Royal Brother ……”
Zhu Di glared at him, “What is it?”
Zhu likewise glared at Zhu Di, “Imperial brother, at this time of the day, why haven’t you gone back to the inner sanctum?”
Zhu didn’t have the heart to say, “You need to be nosy?”
Chu immediately said, “I’m just saying.”
Zhu said, “Why the fuck did you come back?”
Zhu looked like he suddenly remembered the purpose of his run, so he busily said, “Something’s wrong, something’s wrong.”
His eyes glowed, excitedly said, “Imperial brother, you know do not know, this day the wedding ceremony, all of a sudden, there are many strong men to the cave, everyone pulled Zhang Anshi and left, saying that they want to go to kill the thieves.”
“Kill a thief?” Zhu stared at Zhu.
Zhu nodded his head and said, “Yeah, I was also wondering what kind of thief this killed.”
Zhu Di Dao actually said calmly, “Okay, I know.”
“Why aren’t you shocked, Royal Brother?”
Zhu Di said angrily, “None of your business!”
Zhu exasperatedly said, “I advise you not to not …… imperial brother, I go.”
Under Zhu’s menacing gaze, Zhu ran away in a huff.
Instead, Zhu stood up and, with his hands behind his back, slowly paced to the bookshelves in the martial arts building.
From the bookshelf, he took out a zhengshi, which was written with the four words ‘strategy for the pacification of thieves’.
Zhu Di’s eyes fell on these four words, pondered for a long time, and then paced to the entrance of the martial arts building, and after standing here, actually looked out from afar.
In the distance …… there seems to be smoke and dust hidden.
Zhu stared with both eyes and was silent.
And it was at this time that Yiluoha came trotting, coming up for air, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty ……”
“Are you telling me that Zhang Anshi went to kill the thieves?”
Yizhuoha exclaimed, “Your Majesty is truly unpredictable ……”
Zhu calmly said, “King Yi has already come.”
Also Lost Ha bitterly smiled, “Your Majesty, the slave girl looks …… at where something may have happened.”
“Of course …… something happened.” Zhu Di don’t have a deep meaning to stare at also lost Ha Road: “Do you think I don’t know?”
Zhu pointed his finger at the smoke in the distance.
Also Lostha said, “The slave girl goes to the warrior camp?”
“No need.” Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “Zhang Anshi has already acted on my secret orders.”
“But ……” Yiluoha looked at Zhu in surprise, he suddenly realized that there might …… be some things that he was also kept in the dark.
“But the model battalion has been transferred to Beiping …… and the capital side, the five battalions are all moved to defense.”
Zhu smiled, “Is that so?”
“What the slave girl means is that the capital is empty right now, especially Sushima.”
Zhu Di said, “Okay, I know, now start, wait for Zhang Anshi’s news. This guy is pitiful, getting married, but still have to go catch thieves.”
Said, Zhu Di will be his regular clothes a tear, from this torn corners of the clothes to look closely, but see here, actually covered with an armor.
At this time, Zhu Di looked at also lost Ha said: “Tonight you accompany me, do not have to sleep.”
Yiluoha hurriedly fixed his mind and said, “The slave girl obeys the decree.”
…………
Hundreds of men in black, rushed to the prison in a swarm.
The head of a person, is a one-eyed, this one-eyed person, holding a large sword, mouth shouted: “Li general flag, Li general flag ……”
At the head of the prison, a man in a flying fish suit ran out and said, “You guys are here?”
The one-eyed man shouted, “Open the door quickly, we will leave after we save Duke Ji.”
Chief Flag Li said, “Yes, come on you guys.”
With that, he started to open the gate.
The one-eyed man waved his big hand, “Brothers, kill inside.”
Then the hooting and hollering crowd made a mad dash for the gate.
This gate is open.
Chief Flag Li then immediately sidestepped and retreated to the side.
Immediately after that, they saw rows and rows of Model Battalion officers and soldiers, holding cannons, and the direction that the cannons were aimed at was the direction of the black-clothed people.
It’s only a dozen feet away.
When the one-eyed man saw this, he exclaimed, “Li Kaishan, I’m into your mother, you dare to sell us?”
This is called Li Kaishan’s banner grinned: “you all these chaotic traitors, I fucking is by the order of the An Nan Hou, only frequented in the various gambling houses, the daily gambling. He has long guessed that Ji Gang that dog has plans, so he taught me to do so, is to let you think that you can take advantage of me, haha, is to teach you to send yourself to the door!”
“Haha …… betraying you guys? What are you guys, also worthy of me to sell? I Li Kaishan is the son of the emperor’s own army, my son entered the royal official school academy, a serious son of the emperor’s disciples. I will be with you these thieves bastard ghost mixing? Go to hell.”
The one-eyed man exclaimed under his breath, “The wind is tight and pulling.”
As he ordered the retreat, he cursed, “Isn’t the Model Battalion headed for Beiping? How ……”
Bang Bang Bang ……
Rows and rows of cannons began to resound in the night sky.
Countless flames illuminated the darkness in this instant.
The men in black clothes, one by one, fell down like cutting wheat.
The one-eyed man was hit in the leg by a cannon.
He limped and hobbled, covering his bloodied thigh.
His mouth is still cursing, “In …… the middle …… in the middle of the plan …… in the middle of the plan ah …… finished, all finished … …”
Snap ……
Another cannonball missed him in the back, and then came out from his stomach.
A teacup-sized gaping hole then appeared on his belly.
And then a section of intestines flowed out.
The one-eyed man went crazy and started to grab his intestines and tried to stuff them into his stomach, grinning on one side and crying, “My intestines, my intestines, didn’t I say, counting nothing? Didn’t I say that it is nothing to be reckoned with?”
These men in black, all of them seemed to be very fierce, and most of them were well-built and athletic.
But …… in front of real absolute force, it seems like paper mache.
After a round of firing, under the night sky, someone called out, “Kill, the Marquis has orders to kill as many as possible.”
This statement was made.
A team of Model Battalion lieutenants drew their swords and charged.
The one-eyed man, who had fallen into a pool of blood, was not yet dead.
Just his body was constantly twitching, and his eyes watched in despair as the man in armor came in a slow pace.
This man in armor held his sword in his backhand, the tip of the blade going straight to the one-eyed man’s other intact eye.
The one-eyed man still still covered his intestines, as if by dying this way, his body became incomplete.
He said reluctantly, “Why …… why …… why are you here.”
The man in armor had no expression, not even sympathy or pity, in the darkness.
He’s like an emotionless harvesting machine.
“Spare …… me my life, Ji Dudu’s plan, I know …… I know …… it.”
The one-eyed man broke off.
But when he knew the word fell.
The tip of that blade, however, had stabbed down, and his body shivered violently.
Blood spurted from his eyes.
The man in armor drew his sword and, step by step, continued forward.
Zhang Anshi led a group of men from the Inner Chitose.
Surrounded the Honglu Temple.
In this Honglu Temple, most of the people who live are emissaries of various countries.
As soon as the official from Honglu Temple saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said sternly, “Who is it.”
Chen Li, Commander of the Jinyiwei, stepped forward, “The Inner Thousand Household Office is on the job.”
This Honglu Temple official was furious: “This is where the envoys of various countries are located, how can you be allowed to act recklessly, Jin Yi Wei to take people, even got to the Honglu Temple, disturbing the envoys, you can afford to eat the crime? Come on people, give me to stop people.”
His words fell.
Chen Li kicked him over, “Into your mother!”
The officer let out an ah-ah and fainted straight away.
The errand boys all fled.
Immediately afterward, a group of team within a thousand lieutenants, along with Zhang Anshi stepped through the door and entered.
This Honglu Temple is already exploding.
No one was more nervous than the Tartar emissary, Ahema, who hastily summoned his guards and muttered, “The Ming want to kill me, follow me and kill out.”
Saying so, he joined the guards, took his sword, rushed out of the mansion, and was about to fight to the death.
However, when he saw a team of Inner Chitose lieutenants go over, they actually ignored him, and this Ahema was a bit tense and stood in place, panicked.
A few moments later, a guard came hurriedly, “The Ming went toward the envoy’s mansion in the Warat ministry and captured many people.”
In the distance, the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard.
A wail that sends shivers down the spine.
Ahima shook his head, “It’s okay then, scare me, go back to sleep.”
Still, Ahima stood in front of his compound and watched.
Then I saw that immediately thereafter, many people were bound and tied up.
Someone said in raw Chinese, “I am not guilty, I am not guilty, why do you take me, we are ambassadors, when two armies are at war, they don’t kill the ambassadors.”
At that moment, he saw under the firelight, Zhang Anshi, who was dressed in an imperial unicorn suit, came out, punched the man in the face, and scolded, “If you scream again, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs.”
“……”
The world is quiet.
Until everyone retreated like a tidal wave.
Ahema only stunned to look at the night fog heavy dark void, some fear, he immediately returned to his mansion: “to the Great Khan to repair the book, the Warat ministry and the Ming fell out. Haha ……”
This was not to be pleased by the envoy of the Tartar ministry, Ahima.
That Tartar ministry claimed itself to be the orthodoxy of the Yuan dynasty, while the Warat ministry, which was not of the bloodline of the Golden Family, had always been separated from the Tartar ministry to the west of the desert.
At this time, the Tartars were powerful, and the Warad and Uliangha were weak, so the strategy of the Ming Dynasty was to tie up the Uliangha and make good friends with the Warad to deal with the Tartars together.
Where do you think …… Nowadays …… the brocade guards go directly to take the Waratu envoy.
…………
Yiluoha arrived at the martial arts building from the noon gate at a fiery speed: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty ……”
By now it was midnight.
Zhu hadn’t slept for half the night, but was waiting patiently at that moment.
When Zhu heard this, he opened his eyes violently.
Eyes burned as they stared at Yee Lost Ha.
Yiluoha said, “Your Majesty, news has come from the Southern Zhenfu Division that the thieves have all been captured.”
“Good.” Zhu Di patted the case, his eyebrows fluttered, “It is time …… and Ji Gang to settle the total account.”
Yizhuoha but confused, surprised to look at Zhu Di, timidly said:” Your Majesty …… this …… this …… ”
“You must be very puzzled.” Zhu Di laughed: “In fact, I also have some doubts, but it is a few days ago, Zhang Anshi gave me a secret preaching, said that this night …… may be thieves have a change, it is a good time to the thieves to be a net, haha …… I have many things, also blindfolded in the drum.”
Also lost Ha Road: “slave girl is actually very curious to know, Ji Gang in the end what is planning? Slave girl is not talkative, really …… heart ……”
“Want to know?” Zhu’s eyes glowed and he looked at Yilungha with a smile.
Also lost Ha nodded: “Then what are you waiting for, go to the trial of Ji Gang, I should and Ji Gang, frankly.”
Yilseha rubbed her eyes, “Now?”
Zhu Di said, “If I don’t go to see him now, I won’t be able to sleep.”
Yilungha said, “I’m afraid there are still thieves out there.”
Zhu Di said, “Send more guards, what’s more, even if you don’t send guards, it’s okay. Zhang Anshi said that the thief eliminated clean, then it must have been purged clean, this guy …… dry jinyiwei, or very competent.”
Yiluoha nodded, “The slave girl will go and make arrangements.”
…………
Zhang Anshi face tired, mouth always in front of Zhu Yong a few people read: “I’m a caveman ah, I’m a good groom, and you guys out fooling around, big brother I sacrificed too much.”
Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, don’t chant, you can’t concentrate on catching thieves.”
Zhang Anshi said: “I do not read you how to know the hard work of the big brother, how to know the big brother …… I am not always greedy and afraid of death. You also want to read more in the future, see people have to say, to pass on, give me to pass on, An Nan Hou for the emperor’s favor, throwing his wife and abandoning his son also did not frown, really is a great loyal minister.”
Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, say it briefly, it’s so long, we can’t remember it.”
Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and grabbed Zhu Yong’s lapel: “Not being a human brother, not being a human brother, why are you so stupid.”
Zhu Yong scratched his head, “Big brother taught me not to move my brain, and now I’m really not moving, but I’m still here to scold me.”
Zhang Anshi then always stared at Zhu Yong with a sly grudge, making Zhu Yong’s heart flutter.
Immediately afterward, one by one, the thousand and hundred households came to report.
“Marquis, the forty-seven thieves in the East City have been taken down.”
“Marquis, two hundred and thirty-two men in the West City, all in one net.”
“Marquis, the six hundred and ninety-three thieves of Qixia, all of them have been killed.”
“Marquis ……”
Zhang Anshi shot up, “Those people …… have all taken it, right?”
“Took them all, too.”
“Very well, pick a few people out, I’m going to give Governor Ji a big surprise.”
Zhang Anshi was extraordinarily excited at this time.
He’d had enough of Kizuna these days.
It’s time for a final reckoning on this one.
Rested for a few moments.
Zhang Anshi told Zhu Yong and a few others to stay where they were, only allowing Chen Li to follow him.
The reason why they didn’t let Zhu Yong and these people go was, in a way, actually to protect Zhu Yong.
In the history of Ji Gang, when His Majesty was determined to make a move against him, the decree was given almost in the morning, and by nightfall, Ji Gang and his party were all killed by Zhu Di.
The quickness of the killings and the ruthlessness of the means were unprecedented.
It was because Ji Gang held too many secrets.
But just as Zhang Anshi was about to move.
Someone came in and whispered, “His Majesty has arrived.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Go and receive the driver.”
At this time, however, someone boarded the room from the night and said, “It’s not necessary.”
When Zhang Anshi saw the visitor, who was it if not Zhu Di.
Zhu Di carried his hands behind his back and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, “It is not easy for Minister Zhang to get married tonight.”
Zhang Anshi glared at Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong scratched his head and stammered, “Big brother is too bitter, the wedding night also came to catch the thief, for …… the sake of catching the thief to throw away his wife and son, he is too difficult, he is greatly all loyal.”
Zhu Di smiled, “Oh? Secretary Zhang has a son?”
Zhang Anshi said, ”Your Majesty, Zhu Yong, he is dumb and can’t speak, so Your Majesty should ignore him. It is only proper for me to do all this. As the saying goes, if you eat the king’s salary, you should be loyal to the king.”
Zhu Yong stared his eyes as big as copper bells: “Big brother, you just can not ……”
Zhang Yoking covered Zhu Yong’s mouth as he pulled him aside in a raw manner.
As if he didn’t see it, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “How is it, you say you’ve captured the thief? What, what kind of plotting and scheming is this Ji Gang doing?”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Your Majesty, please follow me to see Ji Gang and everything will be clear.”
Zhu Di smiled, “I also want to see him a long time ago, go.”
…………
Kizuna sat cross-legged in the prison.
He began to float, wrinkling his brow as if he felt something was wrong.
It wasn’t until the sharp footsteps came that he snapped to attention, his eyes looking hopefully at the cell door.
Bang, the cell door opened hard.
Kizuna’s pupils contracted as well.
Soon after, in these eyes of his, there was a color of disappointment that he couldn’t hide.
He looked shocked.
It seems that no matter what, the people …… who appeared in front of their eyes were these people.
“Governor Ji ……,” Zhang Anshi said with a smile, “Didn’t expect it, did you, you waited left and right, didn’t wait for your cohorts, but waited for His Majesty and me.”
Kizuna took a deep breath, and panic actually began to appear in his eyes.
Not so long ago, even when he had faced torture, he had not looked like this.
Someone brought a chair.
Zhu Di sat down silently and looked at Ji Gang indifferently.
Only then did Ji Gang return to his senses and said, “I have met Your Majesty.”
Zhang Anshi stood behind Zhu Di and said, “Alright. Don t disguise it, now …… all your schemes have fallen through.”
Kizuna winced, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, come, escort the person in.”
As soon as this was said, Chen Li was seen kicking one of the men, who stumbled and stumbled into the cell.
Ji Gang looked up, fixed his eyes, this person …… is his own son, Ji Wenlong.
Ji Gang only glanced at Ji Wenlong and immediately lowered his eyes, saying, “Zhang Anshi, I don …… t know what you are talking about?”
His voice, desperate and shaky, was a taste of fear.
Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t you know? Ji Dudu, it seems that in the future I have to learn more from you, your skill of playing a scoundrel, I Zhang Anshi is really not as good as a horse. It seems that you think …… that by now, you still have a fluke in your heart is it?”
Ji Gang then raised his eyes and fiercely shouted at Ji Wenlong, “How are you …… you here?”
“Father …… father ……” Ji Wenlong said in despair at this time, “It’s over, all over, our plans, all fall through, we …… We have been wiped out.”
It was only now that Ji Gang seemed to have accepted the reality in front of him.
His eyes looked at the void in despair, looking a little dull: “How can it come to this point, clearly …… there should not be a mistake, there should not be a mistake.”
