Chapter 387: His Majesty Comes to Settle the Score

Xu Qi was furious, but after cursing, he was silent again.

He didn’t have the slightest bit of mind to think about that damned Liu Guan thing anymore right now.

So he said, bored to death, “Keep him under good guard for this official, and then we’ll settle the score for him!”

That shogun’s friend listened and was busy nodding.

The rest of the people’s faces grew more and more anxious, while Xu Qi’s heart was even more turbulent.

While the group of people were sitting still, finally, another person came hurriedly and said eagerly, “Xu Gong, Xu Gong ……”

Xu Qi was slightly calmer at this time, but his voice was still trembling uncontrollably, “What is it again?”

“The brocade guards …… everywhere are withdrawn.”

“What?” Xu Qi’s eyes widened slightly as he confirmed, “Withdrawn?”

“Yes.” The visitor panted and then said, “The Jinyiwei douzhi who guarded the mansion treasury, for some unknown reason, suddenly withdrew without a trace.”

This time, Xu Qi finally some can not help it, his eyes a sheet, as if asking others, but also as if asking himself, “What is the reason for this ……?”

The news was too much of a surprise, and by this time whispers were already circulating in the hall.

The original curtain friend but after the face suddenly bright and dark, slowly said, “Is there a possibility that …… something has changed, so …… the brocade guards and riders withdrew … …”

“Change ……” This time, Xu Qi shook his spirit, and his eyes unconsciously brightened.

He was a little excited, but deep down, he couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

A complex and unspoken emotion wove through him.

So, he closed his eyes first and puffed out a heavy breath from his mouth.

Eventually, he opened his eyes, “Changes in the Jiujiang Prefecture?”

“Xu Gong ……” Someone stood up, this person is Nanchang governor Liu Lu.

Liu Lu hissed, “If not for this, how could the eagles and dogs of the绶归獞 eagles, be willing to withdraw?”

Xu Qi said, “Then …… what has changed?”

He asked rhetorically.

The words were unanswered.

Nor dare anyone answer.

But in fact the answer is self-evident and is already in the hearts and minds of the people.

The message system of the Jinyiwei is naturally more perceptive than the ears and eyes of an ordinary official.

So …… it s not a tiny bit surprising that the brocade guards in various places were the first to learn the news.

Then …… now the brocade guards绶归獞浠� suddenly so action, even the government treasury do not care, the only possibility, obviously is …… the sky collapsed.

How can the sky fall?

Unless ……

Unless the water thieves succeed.

Although Xu Qi has long been expected, the water thief’s grasp is very large, after all, is prepared to attack unprepared, is the inside and outside, plus the night attack, it is more than one against the crowd.

God forbid you should lose like that.

But after all, he didn’t dare to do anything until he actually had definite information.

After all, he wanted to kill is the first Ming Dynasty relatives, is the jinyiwei commander-in-chief, is the famous Zhang Anshi ah!

And now, this thief …… is finally dead.

Xu Qi’s gaze, colliding with the gazes of the crowd, understood each other.

Xu Qi then looked calm and said, “Go find out what happened.”

The visitor said, “Yes.”

When he said that, he hastily retired again.

Xu Qi stood up with his hands behind his back, showing a tired look.

Having waited all night, now that he had learned the news, the man loosened up, and sleep came to him, but at this time, he had to pull himself together a little, and still commanded, “Everyone do your duty, and use your life well.”

The crowd rose to their feet and their voices became a little more relaxed, “Yes.”

Xu Qi, on the other hand, looked at Nanchang Governor Liu Lu and said, “Xiandi Liu stays.”

On weekdays, the two are up and down relationship, Xu Qi generally will not be called by the virtuous brother, but today called is extraordinarily intimate.

Everyone is a grasshopper on the same boat, at this time …… since it is appropriate to be close to some.

Liu Lu nodded and waited for the crowd to retire.

Xu Qi, however, coldly said: “Zhang Anshi …… if he dies, I am afraid that this official is only to blame, His Majesty to take the anger of the old man, then …… only to be implicated.”

Liu Lu comforted: “Liu Gong …… this fang died, since the will of heaven, this person is not tolerated by heaven, death is not enough to regret. His Majesty’s side …… at most only punish a crime of negligence, and how can it be? The big deal is that Xu Gong will go back to his hometown to recuperate for some days, there will be a day of recovery in the future.”

Xu Qi naturally knows that this is just a word of comfort, but only back hands, he does not believe that he is just a strike in the district.

Finally, he sighed quietly, looking helpless as he said, “To this day, it can only be so. It’s just that the rotten situation here will ultimately need you guys to clean it up.”

Liu Lu busily said, “My humble servant is duty-bound to do so.”

Xu Qi’s eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes, said, “The old man is worried about …… the next and then commissioned the Qinzhi to investigate ……”

Liu Lu smiled and said, “Zhang Anshi this death, there will be no one to come to check again, even if it comes, put the Qinzhi to check is, really find out what, he dares to say nonsense?”

Xu Qi pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else before finally waving his hand and saying, “So be it.”

…………

What Xu Qi didn’t know was that at this time, there was a team of people who were traveling at a rapid pace through the night.

They first traveled by boat, all the way south into the waters of Poyang Lake, and then down the Gan River.

By midday, one can see the citadel in the distance, especially a tall building that is faintly visible.

Zhang Anshi stood on the bow of the boat, standing slightly behind Zhu Di, it was just an unusual crow’s nest boat, not stable in the water.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, stood calmly at the bow of the ship, stretching his thick eyebrows and gazing at the tall building.

Zhang Anshi also looked at the building and said, “Your Majesty, this is the Tengwang Pavilion, which is rumored to have been built by Li Shimin’s brother, Tengwang Li Yuanying.”

Zhu Di said, “These allusions, you do not have to tell me, I know more than you.”

Zhang Anshi snapped.

Zhu Di then said: “build this building, is the ZhenGuan two years, at that time, the great Tang a hundred waste waiting, after a hundred years, what is the weather, but now it seems, the weather of the Han and Tang Dynasty, and go where it? The reason for this, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is all rubble and ashes, where is the problem?”

Zhu didn’t seem to be questioning Zhang Anshi.

In fact, Zhang Anshi would not answer it because it was a giveaway.

Zhu then said, “Disembark and enter the city!”

A ship, straight to a ferry on the riverbank.

Immediately afterward, the men and horses on the shore who had their own waterway patrols saw the situation and gathered together.

One man shouted, “Who is it ……”

But the ships have been docked, jumped down the lieutenant, directly drew his sword, running to kill.

This inspector general’s men and women are only a few dozens of people, see the situation, without saying a word, immediately bowed down, mouth calling for mercy.

In a few moments, the situation was finalized.

Zhu ignored it and didn’t even bother to give a glance, only looking towards the not too far away citadel, his face sullen.

Zhang Anshi, however, carried a man in the back and said, “How is the city?”

The man said warily, “There is …… no movement in the city.”

Zhang Anshi asked again, “How are you stationed here ……”

“The little people have been ordered to spy on the whereabouts of the Jinyiwei’s bounty riders.”

Zhang Anshi hooked his lips and smiled with a bit of arrogance in his smile, then said, “Then there’s no need to poke around, we’re right here.”

The man had been suddenly pale with fear, ahoya.

Zhang Anshi then didn’t bother to pay any more attention to him and stood up straight, then said, “Enter the city immediately!”

A call to arms.

Hundreds of Model Battalion lieutenants and more than a hundred brocade-clad lieutenants interspersed with them then ran towards the city gates.

A few moments later, there was another group of men and horses, they led horses, plain clothes dress, the head of the man to meet the salute: “My humble hundred households Zhang Ding, see your majesty, see the governor, I have been ordered to be here to wait for your highness and the governor’s carriage.”

Zhu only nodded his head and then rolled onto his horse, Zhang Anshi also had to take a horse and roll onto it.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of riders with hundreds of people swarmed to the city gates.

The guards at the city gates saw the commotion and were caught off guard, and someone eagerly shouted, “Close the gates, close the gates …….”

But it was obviously too late.

Someone took the lead and flew forward, swinging down with his sword and directly chopping that person who shouted to close the city gates under his horse.

And then, the crowd of riders embraced Zhu Di whistling into the city gate doorway.

Zhu steered his horse, facing the blazing sun, and looked around.

The gatekeepers at the city gates, long since dispersed.

They shouted under their breath, “A thief has entered the city, a thief has entered the city!”

At this moment, the city seemed to explode.

Zhu’s people, among others, were not wearing armor; some were in plain clothes but carried weapons, while others wore fish costumes, a symbol of status, in various attire.

But this one stout man, his aura was naturally different from the norm.

They suddenly came on a killing run and beheaded one of the gatekeepers, which naturally made people think that they had entered the thieves.

The streets of the city were suddenly empty with the clamor.

Zhu Di strangled his horse and stumbled, his face was blue, he only felt that at this time the hot blood in his body, seemed to be surging.

…………

“Xu Gong, Xu Gong ……”

Someone stumbled into the Bujinkan with a voice full of panic.

The silence in the Bujinkan was broken.

When Xu Qi heard the commotion, he realized that something big had happened, and hurriedly came out with a few subordinate officials at a fast pace, and said with a calm face, “What’s the matter?”

“There are thieves into the city, there are hundreds of people …… very vicious, they seized the door, shall not be ……”

Xu Qi was shocked to hear this.

One by one, the zookeepers beside him and the makuyos who had rushed to the scene paled.

“Where did the thieves come from, Lang Lang?” Someone inquired.

“No …… don’t know ……”

The crowd then looked at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi’s heart thumped, he thought of something violently, so he busily said, “Those people, what do they look like?”

The man then said, “Some are only dressed as ordinary people, but they all carry swords, and …… there also seem to be cannons …… Not only that, I also saw …… There are some people …… wearing fish costumes ……”

“Is it really a fish suit?” Xu Qi’s eyes widened slightly.

“Yes, there’s quasi no mistake, it’s exactly the same as the one worn by the Jinyiwei绶归◣ that sealed the mansion’s treasury in the first place.”

When these words came out, the faces of the crowd suddenly changed.

“Xu Gong …… Xu Gong …… won …… t …… won …… t …… Jin Yiwei go and come back.”

Someone looked at Xu Qi in fear.

A few moments later, there are people with a team to come, but the Nanchang governor Liu Lu also heard the news, the heart panic, they are busy with people to ask Xu Qi to get ideas.

“Xu Gong …… What’s going on here?”

Xu Qi s face was very ugly, frowning, “These people …… deserve to die!”

Liu Lu busily said, “Lord Xu, now is not the time to talk about this, the brocade guards suddenly killed back, it must be …… must be ……”

Xu Qi calmed down at this time and looked at him with a cold and heavy gaze, “Who said that these people are the Brocade Guards?”

“Available …… available ……”

Xu Qi said, “There are many people, wearing regular clothes, but also mixed with a lot of people wearing fish clothes, and all also carry sharp blades …… so it seems that there is only one possibility.”

Liu Lu looked skeptical, so he said, “I would also like to ask Lord Xu to enlighten me.”

Xu Qi spat out two words, “Water thief.”

Liu Lu was stunned, “This ……”

Xu Qi looked around as the people on the sidelines wisely backed away.

Only the heartthrobs, still remain standing.

Xu Qi only then continued: “water bandits both attacked the Jiujiang Province, beheading Zhang Anshi, these people thievery does not change, seized the Zhang Anshi people wear armor in the body, but also understandable.”

“But why did they …… come here so suddenly.”

“This is also the old man’s biggest headache.” Xu Qi said.

“They are here at this time. Wouldn’t it make people misunderstand us …… that we are colluding with them ……”

Xu Qi frowned worriedly and said nothing.

“Couldn’t …… be here to collect a reward? Or maybe ……”

Xu Qi said, “In any case, people have come, even if we want to stop, it is already too late. There are not many men and horses in the city, gathered, may not be able to restrain them, instead of this, it is better to …… come to the people, gather the men and horses, all come with the old man.”

The people obeyed the order, and then someone else went to contact the office of the Commander-in-Chief.

Liu Rong, the commanding officer of that capital magistrate’s office, and Zhu Nagi, the co-counselor, came in a hurry with another group of officers and soldiers.

Xu Qi and these two glanced at each other.

Liu Rong cursed and said, “These thieves …… an dare to come here, really bold.”

“Since they dare to come, they want to take this to take credit ……” Xu Qi said.

“How should I cope?”

“May as well stabilize them first, most of the water bandits are rough people, want to cope with it is also easy, first stabilized, and then when the men and horses gathered, and killed, so …… but also a pile of protection of the territory of the people of the credit, in addition to …… also Sort of for Zhang Anshi revenge.”

This commanding officer Liu Rong smiled and laughed, but after careful consideration, he also felt that there are a few points of truth.

So, he whispered, “In these few days, have seen your benefactor ……”

Xu Qi said ambiguously, “Let’s do the matter at hand first.”

Liu Rong then nodded.

Immediately, Xu Qi and Liu Rong were at the head of the group, leading hundreds of people towards the city gates.

By now, the street had long been empty.

Halfway through the trip, he saw that there were scouts from the other side.

Xu Qi and Liu Rong watched for a moment.

“Sure enough, wearing a fish costume, that’s right.” Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and whispered, “It must be a water thief without a doubt.”

“How to Respond.”

“Let’s go and pacify them first, no matter what they mention, whether they want an edict or a reward. In short, one should first agree, to the third night, and then all the silence. ”

Liu Rong glanced at Xu Qi obliquely and said, “Duke Xu is a good tactician.”

Liu Rong instructed one person, who then rode up, and later arrived in front of Zhu Di and the others.

Zhu Di rode his horse, heard that there was even a Buzhengzhi Secretary to come, but not suspicious, so he called the person to heel.

This person is Xu Qi’s beloved, once he saw Zhu Di’s people, he only swept a glance, then haha a smile, and then said in a pleasant manner, “But are you all the leaders? I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Immediately, this person also said: “students by the Xu Gong’s order, especially to pick up, all of you when the family …… how the good end is not in the Jiujiang province fast living, but again to this Nanchang province to? Xu Gong and General Liu is, after all, the court officials, and you when the family negotiation is inconvenient, and therefore ordered the students to come here, and you when the family to talk about.”

Zhu Di looked at the reader in front of him with odd eyes.

He said, “The Xu Gong you mentioned is that Xu Qi?”

This reader cursed in his heart, a thief is a thief, and will never be able to reach the hall of elegance, and the name of Xu Gong is also what you call it!

Look at this person in front of me, the body is sturdy, a bearded face, skin with black, a look is a thief.

He then smiled, but in a civilized manner, “Exactly.”

Zhu Di was resentful, but now …… is a little angry and laugh, then said, “Talk, talk about what?”

This reader then said, “Please don’t disturb this place, and immediately withdraw from the city, and what was previously agreed upon will be honored!”

“All of you, your Lordships, have been too hasty.”

Zhu Di said, “What has been discussed?”

The reader’s face sank slightly: “Xu Gong knows that you are a noble family, and that’s why he is willing to cooperate with you to get rid of the traitors for the world. How is it that all of you are not honoring your word?”

As soon as Zhu Di heard the word “get rid of the traitor”, he was instantly enraged.

His hand trembled, and the riding crop in his hand was about to slam down.

Instead, at this time, Zhang Anshi laughed out loud and said, “The traitor you speak of, is it not Zhang Anshi?”

The reader said, “It is this national thief.”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said cheerfully, “Then do you know if you know, who is Zhang Anshi with?”

The reader said, “I’d like to hear about it.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty!”

As soon as these two words came out, the reader’s face changed and his face froze.

In no way did he expect such a variation.

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, “Do you not think that the emperor is also a traitor of the state?”

Reader took a deep breath, clearly this was beyond his expectations.

He fixed his mind, heart knows that things have come to this point, think must be these water bandits found dead in the chaos of the people and the son of heaven, so overnight to this Nanchang, want to ask for a statement.

At this point, it’s better to stabilize these people.

At that moment, he laughed loudly, lifted the weight as if light, said: “The truth is not to hide, today’s son of heaven, hoe kills flesh and blood, slaughter loyal and good, obscene and excessive, decree nuisance chapter, dimwitted, within the four seas, the people were poisoned by its countless, weak people, wailing all over the place.”

“This world, not his one person’s world also, you good man both kill, but also does not fall into the name of loyalty and righteousness, Xu Gong, if you know, not only not worry, but to rejoice, will have to praise all the pawns for the people to get rid of the harm.”

Chu: “……”

Zhu was completely silent.

Or rather, he was even full of anger, which had evaporated at this point.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, has a speechless face, because he really can t understand what the other …… party is really making up.

You don’t think you’re going to die fast enough?
