At dawn, Wang Zhizheng walked out of the camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On September 16, the capital city located in the great north has entered the early winter season, the morning air is very fresh, Wang Zhizheng looked up at the trees on both sides of the surrounding road, which have withered, and the fallen leaves pave the road, giving people a sad and miserable feeling.

Zhou Cheng took the cloak and put it on Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng looked at the faint city wall of the capital in the distance, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice in a majestic voice: "You can enter Beijing." ”

More than 100 cavalry are the same as Wang Zhizheng, for more than a month, rushing around inside and outside the pass, although not thrilling along the way, but also non-stop, not half a moment of leisure, at this moment to see the capital, there is a little bit of excitement that can't be suppressed.

Meng Huacheng, the centurion of the cavalry, rode a horse and followed Wang Zhizheng and said: "My lord, after returning to Beijing, you must also be careful everywhere, Tian Ergeng plotted to kill you once outside the pass, and when he returned to the capital, he may murder you again." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at him meaningfully: "Jiren has his own natural appearance. ”

When I arrived outside the city wall, I saw that the atmosphere was obviously different from usual, the city gate of the capital was closed tightly today, and the guards patrolling the city tower were twice as many as usual, Meng Huacheng said to Wang Zhizheng: "My lord, why is the capital not very right today!" ”

Wang Zhizheng said thoughtfully: "Something big must have happened in the capital!" ”

Wang Zhizheng and his entourage, according to the usual practice, returned to Beijing from Deshengmen, and when they arrived outside the palace wall, the general of the Praetorian Guard guarding saw Wang Zhizheng and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

After entering the city, Wang Zhizheng said to Meng Huacheng: "You go back to Dongchang to restore your life, I will go to the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion to restore the Nine Thousand Years Old first." You performed very well this time, and I will give you a promotion in front of the nine thousand years old! ”

Meng Huacheng hugged his fists: "Thank you for your appreciation!" Then he took a hundred iron horsemen and went away.

Zhou Cheng whispered to Wang Zhizheng: "My lord, I don't know if I have the heart to summon you at this time!" ”

Wang Zhizheng sneered: "Of course he has thoughts, and he is more anxious than me!" ”

After that, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and took Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong straight to the nine-thousand-year-old mansion.

When he arrived at the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion, the guards saw Wang Zhizheng leading the horse to the door, and quickly took over Wang Zhizheng's horse reins: "Ouch, Lord Wang, you can be regarded as back, Nine Thousand Years Old day and night talking about why you haven't returned to Beijing!" ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at it, smiled faintly, and said to the guard: "Hehe, go and tell the nine-thousand-year-old adult, just say that Wang Zhizheng wants to see." ”

The guard smiled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask: "Lord Wang, Nine Thousand Years Old has been ordered early in the morning, and Lord Wang will return to Beijing today, you don't have to pass first, please come in, Lord Thousand Years Old will have a meeting in the council hall." ”

Wang Zhizheng handed over the scepter of the envoy he was carrying with him to a guard, and then strode towards the council hall, entered the council hall, and found that except for Tian Ergeng, all the leaders of the eunuch party had arrived, and Wei Zhongxian sat on the top with a gloomy face, and he looked a few years older than he said goodbye a month ago.

Wang Zhizheng ignored everyone's gaze, strode forward and knelt on the ground: "Xiaguan Wang Zhizheng greets Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" "After that, he bowed two times and six times uprightly.

Wei Zhongxian saw that Wang Zhizheng, the backbone of the weapon, was back, his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly raised his hand: "Zheng'er, you are finally back, the old man is really concerned about you!" ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at Wei Zhongxian, and actually felt a trace of emotion in his heart, he looked up at Wei Zhongxian with emotion and said: "Zheng'er was ordered to send an envoy, and he has been worrying about your godfather. ”

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to signal Wang Zhizheng to sit down, and then said to Cui Chengxiu beside him: "Lord Cui, tell Lord Wang what happened last night." ”

Cui Chengxiu nodded and said to Wang Zhizheng: "Lord Wang, last night, Lord Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was unfortunately assassinated in the Jinyi Guard Headquarters!" When Cui Chengxiu said these words, he deliberately slowed down his speech, as if he was afraid that Wang Zhizheng would not be able to accept this cruel news.

Cui Chengxiu's gentle tone made Wang Zhizheng properly adjust the reaction that he was ready to show.

What should be Wang Zhizheng's reaction next? In fact, he has rehearsed several times before entering the city, if he is too surprised, it seems a little exaggerated, if he is indifferent, it is inevitable that he will feel impersonal, after all, everyone is a eunuch, and in their eyes, his personal relationship with Tian Ergeng on weekdays is very good, and at this moment, he can't help but show a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Wang Zhizheng listened to Cui Chengxiu's few words, and asked loudly: "Master Cui, what did you just say?!" ”

It was as if he didn't understand. Cui Chengxiu knew that Wang Zhizheng and Tian Ergeng had always had a good "personal relationship", so he sighed slightly: "Last night, there was a thief, Hou Qi, the son of the former Shangshu Hou of the Household Department, sneaked into the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and took advantage of the Jinyi Guard Brigade to go out to fight the fire, brutally tortured and killed Lord Tian Ergeng, the cruelty of the means is outrageous, and Lord Tian's head has not been recovered so far!" ”

Wang Zhizheng said to Wei Zhongxian with red eyes: "Godgrandpa, is the murderer sure that it is that Hou Qi?" The capital is under martial law, Hou Qi shouldn't be able to leave the capital! Wei Zhongxian sighed and said slowly in a compassionate tone: "Alas! Before Hou Qi committed the crime, he asked Tian Ergeng to leave a blood book, and today the Criminal Department has inspected it, and the blood book is indeed Tian Ergeng's handwriting! There are no clues so far, and it is likely that they have escaped from the capital! ”

Wang Zhizheng clenched his fists, his fists made a creaking sound, and everyone watched Wang Zhi desperately hide his anger, and they all pinched their sweat to see how Wang Zhi broke out. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhizheng did not show great exaggeration, he said calmly and angrily: "Please give me three hundred elite soldiers at the age of nine thousand, even if I, Wang Zhizheng, chase him to the ends of the earth, I will catch the thief back and avenge Brother Tian!" ”

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said, "No, the task of arresting Hou Qi is done, don't be too sad, you have more important things to do!" ”

Wang Zhizheng was overjoyed: It seems that the real power of the chief officer of the Praetorian Guard is about to go into my pocket.

Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian raised a letter in his hand with a hoarse voice: "Look at it, this is the current Praetorian Guard chief Zhang Fengqin wrote to the emperor, he apologized and said that the capital was banned last night, and the murderer Hou Qi was not caught, and he specially proposed to resign, and let Xian do it for you!" ”

Wang Zhizheng knew that this was not the time to be modest, so he clenched his fists and said: "Nine thousand years old, this Zhang Fengqin is indeed to blame, such a horrific murder happened in the capital, he actually blocked the capital and didn't catch the murderer!" ”

Everyone thought to themselves: Falling into the well, your Wang Zhizheng is really a good hand!

Wang Zhizheng said confidently: "If the nine-thousand-year-old thinks that I can take on this great responsibility, I will make a military order here, and I will definitely live up to the trust of the nine-thousand-year-old and take care of the safety of the capital for you!" Guarantee that there will be no more similar incidents"
