Chapter 144: The Praetorian Guard is ordered to capture the fugitives
The next day, the news of Li Kuilong's murder and escape from prison immediately reached Wei Zhongxian's ears, and Wei Zhongxian was furious when he heard it, and sent someone to call Sun Yunhe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sun Yunhe knew that Wei Zhongxian had summoned him, and he was so frightened that he came to the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion. If the old man finds out, the end will not be much better than Li Kuilong!
When he arrived at the study, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and stared at Sun Yunhe: "You useless thing, I didn't ask you to send poisoned wine to Li Kuilong yesterday, why didn't he die?!" ”
Sun Yunhe knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Qian...... Chitose, the lowly duty sent the poisoned wine yesterday, Li Kuilong may have seen through it, and threw the poisoned wine over, so ...... That's why it didn't work out......"
Wei Zhongxian picked up the inkstone and smashed it against Sun Yunhe's head, "Bang-" The inkstone smashed on Sun Yunhe's head in a daze, and suddenly blood flowed, Sun Yunhe covered his head in pain and didn't dare to speak.
Wei Zhongxian stared at him: "Sun Yunhe, why didn't you report yesterday?" ”
Sun Yunhe knelt on the ground and cried with his face on the ground: "Chitose, I, I think he wants to Ling Chi anyway, so he didn't pay attention to ......"
Wei Zhongxian angrily rushed over and kicked Sun Yunhe a few times: "He escaped from prison!" What does the emperor think! The emperor must think that I did it! You know! ”
Sun Yunhe kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Nine thousand years old!" I was wrong! Nine thousand years old, spare your life! ”
At this time, Wang Zhizheng, who was standing next to him with a cold face and said nothing, stared at Sun Yunhe and said coldly: "Sun Yunhe, Li Kuilong escaped from prison, the emperor must think that it was a nine-thousand-year-old instruction, do you think you don't deserve to die!" ”
Sun Yunhe kowtowed to Wang Zhizheng and said: "Please, General Wang, help me plead for mercy, it doesn't matter if I die, I die, who can still serve the nine-thousand-year-old saddle before and after the horse!" ”
Wang Zhizheng knew that now was not the time to deal with Sun Yunhe, it was better to be a good person, he bowed to Wei Zhongxian and said: "Nine thousand years old, Sun Yunhe is indeed guilty, but he didn't mean it, according to Sun Er's view, it is better to let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service!" ”
Wei Zhongxian watched Wang Zhizheng plead with Sun Yunhe, his anger decreased a little, and he stared at Sun Yunhe with his hands behind his back: "Get out of here!" I'll clean you up again! ”
Sun Yunhe was like being amnestied, kowtowed a few times, and fled quickly.
Wang Zhizheng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Nine thousand years old, Li Kuilong is a member of the imperial court and your descendant, if you don't take the opportunity to pursue immediately, I'm afraid Cui Chengxiu will take this opportunity to speak ill of you in front of the emperor!" ”
Of course, Wei Zhongxian understood, he looked at Wang Zhizheng's appearance, and said with great relief: "Zheng'er, that's why I called you here today, the old man ordered you to immediately take your big knife battalion to pursue Li Kuilong, and be sure to catch that beast back!" ”
Wang Zhizheng said loudly: "Yes, nine thousand years old, the grandson will definitely complete the task!" ”
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand: "Go quickly, now Li Kuilong should not have escaped too far, the season should not be delayed, you act immediately, the old man will enter the palace to report the situation to the emperor!" ”
Wang Zhizheng said: "Nine thousand years old, don't worry, although Cui Chengxiu is bound to make a fuss about this matter, but the primary responsible person is Chen Yangmei, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Chen Yangmei is Cui Chengxiu's person who urgently needs to be wooed, so I judge that Cui Chengxiu will not bite you too hard in this matter!" ”
After listening to Wang Zhizheng's persuasion, Wei Zhongxian relaxed slightly, he nodded and said, "Okay, the old man knows, you can do it!" ”
Wang Zhizheng returned to the Yamen of the Praetorian Guard and immediately summoned Jiang Nai, Wang Zhiyi and Wang Liangfu to discuss the countermeasures to pursue the fugitives in the conference hall.
Jiang Nai saw that Wang Zhizheng was full of energy, so he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Li Kuilong to be a guy who has more than enough success and more than failure, I have been in power for more than 200 years, and he is still the first person to escape from the prison of Dali Temple!" ”
Wang Zhizheng laughed: "Isn't it, his escape can push the nine thousand years old to the boiler." The current 9,000-year-old can't be washed even if he jumps into the Yellow River! Banzai must think that it is the nine thousand years old who are behind the scenes. ”
Jiang Nai smiled evilly: "In my opinion, let's go out of the city to fight a round of guerrillas and come back, so that the emperor will think that it is nine thousand years old, let's not kill Li Kuilong!" What do you think? ”
Wang Zhizheng pointed at Jiang Nai and said with a smile: "You, in terms of management and personnel, everyone can't compare to you, but from the perspective of the overall strategic situation, you are still lacking,"
Hearing the lord admonish him, Jiang Nai hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please take the reprimand!" ”
Wang Zhizheng paced around the hall with his hands behind his back with a teacup and said, "Do you think the emperor doesn't know our true purpose?" The emperor understands very well that we are Wei Zhongxian's people on the surface, but in fact we serve the Ming Dynasty. From the bottom of his heart, the emperor supports us. He expected that Wei Zhongxian must be the mastermind of the release of Li Kuilong, and he must have confessed not to let us arrest Li Kuilong, if we go out of the city to fight a circle of guerrillas and do not work hard to arrest Li Kuilong, the emperor will inevitably reassess our loyalty, and the saint will think that we are not people who are waiting on the wall and ambiguous? Really listen to Wei Zhongxian's words so much? Wei Zhongxian doesn't let us arrest people, so we really don't arrest people? If we do this, will the emperor feel that he is looking away from us? ”
Jiang Nai suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Alas! Look at me, I'm still not mentally minded and inconsiderate! I can't even figure out such an important issue. ”
Wang Zhizheng walked to the side of the handsome case and said sonorously: "Assign tasks!" ”
Wang Zhiyi, Wang Liangfu and Jiang Nai clasped their fists and saluted at the same time.
Wang Zhizheng stared at the three of them and ordered: "Liangfu, Taichong (Wang Zhiyi), the two of you will go back immediately to arrange the big sword battalion and rectify the five thousand troops!" ”
Ryosuke asked puzzledly, "Shuai Ye, can you capture a fugitive with 5,000 troops?" ”
Wang Zhizheng nodded: "I can use it." Li Kuilong fled, incognito is not his style, I judge that he is likely to defect to the bandits in the vicinity of the river, Li Kuilong has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, except to fall into the grass, this person has no choice. There is a rebel bandit gathering in the mountains and forests, the leader is called Wang Chang, and the prefect of Hejian Shen Shao has been encircled and suppressed for several times, and Li Kuilong is likely to join them. ”
Ryosuke nodded: "Command!" ”
Wang Zhizheng said to Jiang Nai: "Jiang Nai, you are in charge of the Praetorian Guard, I will personally command the soldiers and horses on this expedition!" ”
Jiang Nai said incredulously: "Great Commander, just a fugitive, why bother? ”
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Nine thousand years old urgently needs to clear his suspicion of releasing Li Kuilong." I personally command the soldiers and horses, which is also what he meant. ”
Jiang Nai lowered his head and groaned for a while, and immediately understood, clenched his fists and said, "Xiaguan understands." ”
