Chapter 572: The person who came was none other than the Marquis of Wucheng
The time seemed to be incomparably long, and the few people in the Zheng family who were sitting in the carriage felt that they had fallen into hell, and Lord Yama would summon them at any time. Listening to the screams outside, which were getting less and lower, they understood that fifty guards had been slaughtered.
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a horse galloped to Zheng Long's carriage, and a general with a helmet and armor in his hand held a bloody steel knife in his hand, and asked by pulling the car door.
"We are the Zheng clan of Fuzhou, may I ask where the general is the official army. Zheng Haoguang asked with the last courage.
At least you have to understand who is dying.
"This general is the governor of the five armies. ”
"Marquis Wucheng, is it you?" Under the pursuit of death, Zheng Haoze's hearing became extremely sensitive, and he immediately distinguished the other party's voice.
He pulled open the car door and struggled to step out, but he fell to the ground, the bloody battle just now had frightened him, and his legs were as weak as noodles and he couldn't stand at all.
"Isn't this Lord Zheng?" asked Wucheng Hou Tidao.
"It's this official, Marquis Wucheng, why did you take the official army to rob and kill us, is this an open rebellion?" Zheng Haoze held the carriage, barely stood firm, and shouted hoarsely.
"I have already told you that the Governor's Mansion has received a secret report that there are many Japanese pirates in your cavalry, and this general has come to kill the Japanese invaders. ”
"What, Woko, you slander, this is our family's guard. Zheng Haoze looked around, it was densely packed with all the officers and soldiers, the corpses of their guards were all over the place, and the blood had infected this official road with blood red.
In the ditch where a horse's hooves waded, there was even more blood flowing into small streams.
"Slander, come on, compare the portraits of those widows with these heads. Wu Chenghou waved his hand.
Immediately, a horse came, holding more than a dozen portraits, and a few young generals carrying a dozen hideous heads that were still dripping blood.
"Let's compare it, whether it is the remnants of the Japanese and the Wokos. Wu Chenghou said.
"Lord Hou, after checking, it is the bandit in the Japanese back then. The youngster saluted with one hand.
"I also know from your Zheng family, you should be cautious in organizing guards in the future, and don't let the Japanese invaders. Wucheng Hou sneered.
"Marquis Wucheng, even if we neglected to supervise and mixed in more than a dozen widows, why did you kill all my guards?" Zheng Haoze is relieved now, since it is the Marquis of Wucheng who leads the team, it is impossible to kill them, otherwise the Marquis of Wucheng will not show up.
"The governor of Pontus killed the pirates, but the rest of the people resisted with their troops, and of course they had to be killed together. "The Marquis of Wucheng is awe-inspiring.
He also knew what was going on, so he secretly did some investigations, but it happened that there were more than ten of the guards brought by the Zheng family this time, so he sent people to keep an eye on them in Suzhou, and he led his troops out of the city and stationed them in this mountainous area, and said to the governor's mansion to train troops.
As soon as the Zheng family left the city, the people sent by the Marquis of Wucheng to monitor came to report that the elite officers and soldiers brought by the Marquis of Wucheng set up an ambush here, and slaughtered fifty guards in almost a quarter of an hour.
Originally, these bandits were not the elite opponents of the Governor's Mansion, and in order to have zero casualties, the Marquis of Wucheng brought five hundred officers and soldiers, and one charge was over.
"Second brother, let's give you an outlet first, these people will stay, kill them slowly, kill them all at once. Wucheng Hou said secretly in his heart.
He could have wiped out all the Zheng family, but he said that the incident was that the infiltrated Japanese invaders kidnapped the Zheng family, and when they were rescuing the hostages, the Zheng family was brutally killed by the Japanese invaders, and they killed all the Japanese invaders.
But he felt that he was so angry, so he still killed the Zheng family's minions first, and kept these people to kill them one by one.
Zheng Long didn't come out of the carriage, he knew that this matter couldn't be reasoned, so he could only admit it. He was indeed negligent, but he didn't expect that there were still people in the inland who could identify the Japanese who invaded the inland back then.
Zheng Long's heart is dripping blood, these people have been carefully cultivated by him for many years, and they have been selected by thousands of people, who originally expected them to do great things, but now it is good, and if nothing is done, they will be killed like chickens and sheep. People are not as good as heaven, and most of their plans have been shattered.
The purpose of the Marquis of Wucheng has been achieved, and he doesn't want to talk to Zheng Haoze more, so he led the officials and soldiers to leave with fifty good heads, these are all military merits, especially the Japanese have been mixed into the important land of Nanjing, who knows what they want to do, maybe they want to assassinate the court officials, or plan to rebel, or even want to dig up the imperial tomb or something, how to ask the court for merit when you go back, how to write it.
Looking at the corpses and broken limbs all over the ground, the Zheng family vomited non-stop, Zheng Long did not get out of the car, but put his snow-white head on the carriage, and the nails of his two hands sank deep into the palms of his hands.
He could afford to die fifty people, but now that he was inland, not Fuzhou, he couldn't gather dozens or hundreds of people at any time, which meant that they would have no guards when they returned to Fuzhou.
There were also pedestrians on both sides of the official road, and after seeing the corpses and blood all over the ground, they didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly fled away.
Soon, after hearing the report, the county official of a nearby county hurriedly came with a quick catcher and a tolerance, and he was trembling with fright when he saw the scene, this is the best area in the south of the Yangtze River, and there has never been a bandit, but how could there suddenly be a slaughterhouse-like scene, and the bandits are not so unsophisticated, right?
Zheng Haomin, Zheng Haoze and others stepped forward to reveal their identities, and the county officials did not dare to slack off, listening to Zheng Haoze explain the incident before and after, they simply made a record, since it was the people from the Governor's Mansion who surrounded and suppressed the remnants of the Japanese here, they naturally had nothing to check, and made a record and went back to cancel the case.
The county magistrate asked the villagers to dig a pit nearby, bury the body, and bring in a lot of loess to re-pave the road.
The Zheng family never left, they were frightened and at a loss. Among them, Zheng Long has really experienced this kind of scene, Zheng Haoguang and the others are all on the right path, and they have never seen such a big blood, let alone Zheng Boyong, he has been slumped in the car, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head.
On the way back, no one spoke, from time to time someone retched and coughed violently, the bile had already been vomited, and the stomach had been emptied.
When they arrived in Nanjing, several carriages drove into Zheng Haonan's mansion, which was also the Zheng family's base camp in Nanjing.
Zheng Long only stepped out of the carriage at this time, and without saying a word, he walked in directly.
Wu Chenghou's masterpiece Wei Guogong They didn't know it yet, and after driving away the Zheng family, everyone felt refreshed, although there was still a fatal marriage contract hanging over their heads, which was also a big threat, but at least the current crisis was finally over.
"Old Master, I wanted to help you, but I didn't need to stretch out my hand at all. Lian Daning said with a smile.
"It's a great favor that you can come, and I understand it. Chen Musa said with a smile.
Indeed, after Lian Daning came, there was no chance to speak, Wei Guogong sang the whole one-man show alone, but the nature of whether he came or not was completely different, and when he arrived, it showed that he shared weal and woe with Chen Musa.
"They may have returned to Nanjing, what do they need me to do, and they can't all trouble Lord Guogong alone?" asked Lian Daning.
"No, I said, no one should meddle in this matter, I will be responsible for it to the end. If they don't know each other, we will tear our faces, and I will lead troops into Fuzhou. Wei Guogong waved his hand.
"Grandpa Guo, I should be free too, right?" and stepped forward with a smile.
"No, you kid must cause a big disaster if you release it, at least until the Zheng family returns to Fuzhou, you still stay at home honestly for me. Don't be wronged, your senior brother is locked in the house by me, and he is not allowed to come out of the door. Wei Guogong's face was stern.
Besides, he stuck out his tongue and had to retreat again.
Lian Daning smiled: "They won't stay for a few days, so they will go back naturally without any interest." Moreover, they stayed in Nanjing, and it is estimated that their hearts are hanging. ”
"Don't go back to Nanjing for the time being, just live with me. Chen Musa said to the situation.
"Then I'm not going to the National Prison?" he asked.
"Guozijian can slow down and go again, and now make every effort to solve this important matter. ”
Besides, I had to agree to stay in Chen's Mansion for a few days for the time being, but it was a heavenly day to see pomegranates every day.
The wedding was postponed, no one knows when it will be postponed, maybe half a year, maybe a year, and in the end, it really doesn't work, it is estimated that Chen Musa's method will have to be used to let the pomegranate become a monk first, and then return to the vulgar, in that case, it will take three years.
Besides, there is no dissatisfaction with this, as long as you can see her often, what does it matter if the wedding is held a few years later?
That night, Chen Musa set up a banquet to invite Wei Guogong and Lian Daning, and Wei Gao was also invited, and now Wei Gao is also a person on Chen Musa's boat, unless Chen Musa and Gao Gong completely break with each other one day, they may part ways.
The next day, Wei Guogong and Lian Daning returned to Nanjing, and in the middle of the night, Wei Guogong received a report that the Marquis of Wucheng led his troops to kill all the fifty guards of the Zheng family on the official road, because there were more than a dozen remnants of the Japanese in these fifty guards, and although the rest of the people did not find out whether they were Japanese or not, they were naturally innocent of death against the official army.
Wei Guogong naturally understood that this was the Marquis of Wucheng who was angry, and he was horrified in his heart, this bastard was too bold, and he dared to lead troops to kill people in broad daylight. However, it is also considered coarse and fine, at least I found that the guards were mixed with the remnants of the Japanese and did not touch the Zheng family. Although he took a risky move, he did not leave any handle, which can be regarded as a smart move.
He didn't know what kind of repercussions this incident would have in Nanjing and the imperial court, so he hurried back to calm the scene.
Lian Daning also has to go back, as an envoy, if the imperial court asks about this matter, he will naturally have to participate in the investigation and write a report, and now he has to go to the Governor's Mansion to find out about this matter.
After sending away a few important people, and returning to the pomegranate house, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, Pomegranate and Sisi looked at him in panic, thinking that he was crazy.
Pomegranate stepped forward and slapped him and said, "You're okay, don't scare me." ”
Besides, as soon as he turned around, spread his hands, and put on a detached pose, it meant victory!
