Chapter 21: The Siege of the Palace

After seeing the officers and soldiers collecting their troops, they knew that the officers and soldiers of the inn would never disturb for the time being, so they turned back and rested, and did not leave there calmly until dawn, and found an inn to put things down, and then went to Hong Daming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Hong Daming heard that he was rounded up by officers and soldiers last night, his mind didn't think elsewhere, and the spearhead immediately pointed at Zhu Baozhen, the princess of Zhenning, and complained: "Brother Fu, you have to listen to me at that time, this will never happen last night." ”

"Brother, speaking from the heart, intuitively, I feel that this matter is definitely not what Zhu Baozhen did. Fuju said firmly:

"Brother Fu, everything has happened, why don't you believe it?" Hong Daming said in surprise:

"Brother, although it happened, I went back last night to check the fighting venue, and all indications show that it was not Zhu Baozhen's work at all. Fuju was suspicious and said:

"Brother Fu, what do you want your brother to say, so that you can believe it?" Hong Daming said helplessly:

"Alright, let's not argue with her. When I saved Princess Zhenning, who played a role in the stumbling halfway, did you find out?" Although Fuju didn't believe that everything was done by Princess Zhenning, but because he didn't have real evidence in his hand, he couldn't convince Hong Daming, so he interrupted the conversation and changed the topic and asked:

"This one isn't there yet, but don't worry, Brother Fu, I'll definitely find out. Hong Daming said firmly:

"It's better to hurry, that thing and the current thing is intuitive, I think they did it together, because I have no enemies in this Luoyang City, no enemies, no enemies, and no one has a holiday with anyone, for no reason, no one will make trouble without anything, and they will be troubled, and they will seek trouble, all of this may be because when I chased them away, they were too heavy, and they did it in order to take revenge on me. Fuju was skeptical:

"Brother Fu, I don't think these two things are related. The incident last night was done by someone sent by Zhu Baozhen. Hong Daming still insisted on his idea.

Seeing that he still insisted, Fuju didn't want to bother arguing about it, so he hurriedly replied: "Maybe you're right, brother, but it's useless to talk about it now, it's useless, let's think about how I can hide in the firewood train and enter the palace." ”

"Brother Fu, this problem has been thought out, let's do this you can hide in, you see, leave a hole in the middle of the firewood train, and the front and back, left and right, and up and down are still sealed with firewood, so that no one can see it, but the firewood in the front and back and middle have to be artificially processed, shorten their size, and leave a hole in the middle, so that you can hide. Hong Daming gestured while talking, so that people could understand its meaning at a glance.

"Brother, this is a good idea, then let's do this, let's go, go to the market and order firewood. Fuju was overjoyed, and the two of them immediately went to the market to look for the tooth shop that sold firewood.

When Na Ya Xing heard that the two of them wanted ten carts of dry firewood, and one cart was to be loaded according to the requirements of the two, Na Ya Lang saw that the money was open, and he immediately agreed without giving back, and soon everything was ready, and sent a message to Hong Daming.

When Hong Daming and Fuju heard this, they immediately came to check, and when they saw that everything was ready and satisfactory, they were happy, and then waited patiently for the arrival of the day.

The sneak attack and round-up was not done by Zhu Baozhen. It was the letter that Jin Dalai reported to Han Qing, the commander of the Zuo Longhu Army of the Garrison Division, otherwise, the capture would never have been carried out at night, and if Fuju was captured in broad daylight, he would not be able to escape if he lent Fuju a skill.

And said that the left dragon and tiger commander Han Qing is in his thirties and forties, with a big face and small eyes, and thick eyebrows like ink, this person originally slaughtered dogs at home, and was a sycophant, jealous, greedy and lustful person, because when he was drunk, he had the audacity to flirt with the daughter of a rich family, and was beaten by a rich family, and he could not gain a foothold at home, so he threw himself into the army, relying on his own skills in slaughtering dogs, and was good at drilling camps, and then relied on his own rogue nature, charged into battle, fought and killed, and because of his bravery, he earned an official and a half position in the army, and became a master. As the saying goes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat people, and dogs travel thousands of miles ****. Although this Han Qing was promoted to do this left dragon and tiger commander, but the bad habit is difficult to change, half a year ago in a colleague's house drinking, seeing that his wife is beautiful and beautiful, even pretending to be drunk to rape the colleague's wife, the colleague was angry and angry, so he went to the court to ask for sanctions. The cunning Han Qing then excused himself for being out of control after drinking. In order to calm down the situation, Zhu Wen demoted Han Qing to one level and fined him half a year. This Han Qing was distressed by the demotion, and when he got the news of Fuju from Jin Dalai, in order to have capital and be promoted from a new official, he set up the action to arrest Fuju. I never thought that in the middle of the night, I would be busy with bamboo baskets to draw water, and it was disappointing. Intent on taking this opportunity to reinstate the official, he was unwilling to fail, so as soon as the morning dawned, he sent someone to find the person who summoned the messenger, Kim Dalai.

And said that Jin Dalai was happy that he had gotten rid of Fuju without a knife or a shot, when he heard that last night's arrest failed, he felt very sorry in his heart, but there was no way, knowing that there was no turning back arrow from opening the bow, he pondered for a moment in the face of the comer, in order not to let others find out what he had done, first let the comer go first and then returned, and then he pretended to beg along the way, and went to the Han Qing mansion.

That Han Qing was wandering back and forth in the study for the failure of arresting Fuju, and when he heard that Jin Dalai was coming, he immediately led someone in. And as soon as he saw it, without waiting for Jin Dalai to walk out of the room, he opened his mouth: "Jin Tuantou, did you rest last night?"

"Lord Han, it's funny, the grass people also stay awake all night. Kim Dalai stepped forward and saluted:

"Jin Tuantou, you already know the failure of last night's roundup, right?" Han Qing asked bluntly:

"Lord Han, the grass people already know, it's a pity that you let him escape with such a good opportunity to be arrested. Jin Dalai felt a little sorry in his heart:

"Jin Tuantou, it's a pity that there is no way to do it now, and it can't be changed, what should we do next, what are your plans for that blessed residence?" Han Qing knew that it was futile to pursue the failure now, so he turned the previous page in an instant, pinned his hopes on Jin Dalai, and asked in a daze:

"Lord Han, the grass people don't understand what you mean by what you say?" Kim Dalai asked pretending to be confused:

Han Qing, the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army, was a delicate and cunning person, and immediately heard that there was something in this Jin Dalai's words, and in an instant, he said bluntly and bluntly: "Jin Tuantou, the Ming people don't say secret words, what requirements should be mentioned? As long as it is within the scope of my authority, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

"Lord Han, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I only have one request, that is, before taking the blessed house, I can't let anyone know about the cooperation between you and us. Kim Dalai said solemnly:

"Jin Tuantou, I should still ask for an official to be knighted, it turns out that this is what it means, don't worry, this is no problem. After Han Qing understood, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Lord Han, where do you want to go, tell your lordship that although we beggars have begged for a living, we have enough food for three years, and we won't do anything for a county master. Kim Dalai said proudly:

"Yes, Jin Tuantou, I really don't understand what is so good about you poor people who have to beg everywhere to get by? You dare to say that you have enough food for three years, and you don't even work for a county magistrate, you are too high-spirited," Han Qing sneered:

"Lord Han, don't believe it, just compare us, you are scared for work every day, and I, one does not steal, two does not rob, three does not cheat, and I don't need to worry about cooking every day. My subordinates have to obediently provide for me, and I have an easier life than you. Jin Dalai laughed lightly: he was proud.

"Jin Tuantou, so that's the case, no wonder you dare to boast to a county magistrate, don't you want to be bigger and more stable, and get more capital?" Han Qing asked with ulterior motives:

"Of course I think about it, otherwise, I won't cooperate with Lord Han. Kim Dalai was blunt and straightforward:

"Okay, Jin Tuantou, you already have a good idea. Han Qing asked with a smile:

"Lord Han, I don't dare to say this, but after learning that you have failed, I have already sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Nafuju. I'll let you know as soon as there's news. Kim Dalai said proudly:

"Okay, don't worry, as long as you capture Fuju, I promise to let you sit on the first boss of the group in this Luoyang City." Han Qing patted his chest and pointed to the sky and promised:

"Okay, Lord Han, then I'll go first, and I'll let you know as soon as there is a situation. As soon as he didn't do anything, Kim Dalai got up and left the Han Mansion to go back to his residence.

Han Qing sent Jin Dalai away and waited patiently for the news.

The sky is cloudy and sunny, flickering and dark, unpredictable, and unpredictable.

Time flies, years flow. Twenty days passed in a blink of an eye, nothing but peace. Fuju, who prepared everything properly, knew that he could not enter the tiger's den, it was rare to find a tiger, and he saw that the time had come, so he took advantage of the time when no one knew about the dawn, and hid silently in the firewood train that had been designed. Fuju immediately instructed Hong Daming to immediately change his residence, and Hong Daming also knew that this matter was not trivial, in case it was all over, after everything was settled, he immediately started to transfer, not to mention Hong Daming's transfer, but said that Fuju was sitting in the car, because he had been refreshed for a few days, overworked, and when he waited for the arrival of Wu Renming, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Money, this thing is the greatest invention of mankind because it can measure the value of a person.

Money, this thing is also the best friend of human beings, because it can not only make people happy and live, but also make people fall and die, but also make people insane, mentally disordered, and make husband and wife turn against each other, father and son become enemies. The ancients once wrote a poem to explain its function, that is, "Money".

It is not enough to accumulate more and hide more, who still talks about the king and grandson.

If you can turn the disaster into a blessing, you can afford to ask the enemy.

A few blames Deng Tong is inevitably hungry, you must know that Yifu has never said it.

Where to go to the twilight competition, enter the gate of power and luck.

For this reason, all dynasties and dynasties will stage tragic and joyful stories related to people and money, and our story is not good, but it doesn't seem to be as wonderful as others, but in fact, it's all the same.

The appointed day has come. For the rest of his life, but also for money, the eunuch Wu Renming walked out of Xuanrenmen without hesitation and came to this bazaar.

That Wu Bao had already stood on his toes and wanted to pierce it, and as soon as he saw his appearance, he immediately stepped forward and led him to the Yalang house of the firewood tooth shop.

Wu Renming was happy to see that he didn't spend a penny on everything, and immediately asked Yalang to send someone to drive the firewood into the palace.

Na Yalang had already received the money, and when he was instructed, he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately selected ten people who were stable and a little old, and drove the oxen to the palace to deliver firewood.

The ten ox carts full of firewood, under the leadership of Wu Renming, followed closely, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, in a mighty way, through the east city, walking across the city, on the way because of the money first, no one cared about it, it was very calm, and it was not much effort, and it came to the side door of the palace.

Wu Renming saw that the palace gate was closed, so he stepped forward to call the door, but before he could open the palace gate, a team of well-armed guards armed with bows, arrows and spears surrounded the ten firewood carts. Wu Renming, who had a ghost in his heart, understood what was going on, and immediately turned pale with fright, bloodless, and without waiting for others to speak, his legs involuntarily trembled like a puddle of mud and trembled on the ground.

When the ten people who were driving the car saw it, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and in an instant, without waiting for the soldiers to speak, they threw away the whip in their hands, and they ran away as if they had been killed. However, the officers and soldiers had already been densely surrounded in all directions, and the wind and rain were impenetrable. How could they escape, and in an instant, they could only crawl behind the last ox cart under the threat of the spears of the officers and men, and they did not know how to deal with themselves in the face of the extremely vicious officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.

Fuju, who was hiding in the car, was still sleeping and didn't know these circumstances, still waiting in the car, saying that he had agreed earlier, and after entering the palace, Wu Renming would notify him, but now he was suddenly intercepted by officers and soldiers, of course he didn't know.

The person who came to lead the team was none other than Han Qingye, the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger. His arrival did not come for nothing, but after receiving news from Kim Dalai. Determined to arrest Fukuju, he faced ten carts, and he didn't know that Fuju was hiding in that car. Seeing that Wu Renming was sitting on the ground, he stepped forward in an instant, and asked sharply: "Gonggong Wu, you don't need me to tell you the situation, you can understand it in your heart, right? As long as you tell me honestly that you are in that car, I will never report it to the emperor." ”

Wu Renming's heart had already eased up, and he had already pondered and meditated on the things in front of him several times, knowing that this matter was a death by sticking his head out, shrinking his head or a death, thinking of this, he would rather die for money than live without money, he faced Han Qing and said coldly: "Lord Han, what do you mean by this?"

"Gonggong Wu, do you want me to say the good things you have done yourself, it's best to quickly point out which car that Fuju is? Let's discuss everything, otherwise, you don't need to say the consequences, you also understand it in your heart. Han Qing never thought that a eunuch would dare to speak so confidently, so he was taken aback, and sneered and threatened;

"Lord Han, don't spew blood, I just bought a few carts of firewood for the royal family, and there is nothing sinful. "That Wu Renming had already learned from others that this Han Qing was a bad person, a sanctimonious person who stepped on others and was bad from head to toe, and now he knew that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe. Deciding to fight for his fate, he turned over and got up from the ground, and retorted with confidence:

"Gonggong Wu, don't be stubborn, when I find out that Fuju, I will definitely want you to look good. Seeing that he didn't buy it, Han Qing immediately walked up to the ten coachmen. He said sharply: "I said that the ten of you have listened, there is a person hidden in these ten firewood trains today, you go to look for it, and if you can find it, I will avoid waiting for the death penalty, otherwise, you will not be spared." ”

When the ten people heard this, they looked at each other for a while, and they didn't know what to do, until Han Qing once again exerted his might, "What are you waiting for," the ten people suddenly realized, and got up from the ground in a panic, and the ten people totaled, but hurriedly pulled firewood from the middle from the back to the front, and searched and checked each car without untying the rope. The ten men were very serious, very careful, very meticulous in order to survive, one, two, three, four, and in the blink of an eye, the fifth car also passed the inspection. Although the firewood train was pulled out from the back by a lot of effort in the middle, because the whole rope was not untied, it did not spread out.

That Han Qing followed closely, facing more than half of the fruitless search, his heart was strange, could it be that the news was wrong, or that Fuju was not in this firewood train at all, just as he was about to order the arrest of all ten people, an exclamation suddenly came, and he was thinking about it in a hurry, and hurriedly flew over quickly, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

The ten people who were inspecting the front held up the timber drawn from the seventh firewood train, which was only half the length of the vehicle, and said in surprise: "Look, my lord. ”

"Ahh What was the car found?" Han Qing couldn't help but be taken aback, and after asking about it, he immediately asked those wolf-like archers and others to prepare, and first drove the few ox carts that were not sure to be empty, and then unfolded the field, and then ordered the ten people to immediately step forward and untie the rope and unload the firewood on it.

The ten people faced the fierce formation, murderous, and tiger momentum around them, and they did not dare to hesitate or slack off, so they hurriedly went over to unload the car, and without much effort, a black cloth was exposed in the middle. Everyone was shocked, and immediately tensed up and tensed their nerves, revealing a person with the black cloth.

And said that Fuju suddenly realized in his sleep that someone pulled out dry firewood from the moment, he knew that something was wrong, so he was mentally prepared, when he was taken off the black cloth, when he saw this scene of tigers and swords-rattling scenes, he did not feel shocked and surprised, stretched out a wooden stick, turned over and jumped from the car.

That Han Qing was overjoyed, and immediately shouted in ecstasy, "Fuju, you'd better not move, but do that fearless resistance, then you will only die, your best way out now is to be captured, not only can you save your own life, but also ten of them will not die." ”

Fuju faced the tiger's momentum and the officers and soldiers who were waiting with their bows open, and they wanted to fight to the death of a fish, and the jade was burned, killing his corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. But when they saw the helpless ten poor people in the same position as themselves, and knew that the bows and arrows were shooting indiscriminately, they had no chance of escaping and surviving. Calmly said: "General Han, it's okay if you want me to tie my hands and arrest me, but you have to promise me a condition, and I promise that I won't resist." ”

The scheming Han Qing wanted to keep Fuju alive and contribute to his official reinstatement, and when he heard that Fuju could be captured without a single knife or shot, he was overjoyed, and in an instant, he immediately agreed without even thinking about it, "Okay, let's say, what conditions do you have to mention? As long as it is within my authority, I will definitely agree to you." ”

The naΓ―ve Fuju still regarded him as a righteous gentleman, and immediately bargained: "You also know that these ten people have nothing to do with this matter, if I am arrested, you must let them go, and you are not allowed to hurt them." ”

Han Qing said proudly: "Okay, let the ten of them tie you up first, and I will let them go." ”

"Han Qing, I hope you keep your word, otherwise, I won't spare you as a ghost, come on. As he spoke, Fukuju threw the stick in his hand on the ground.

Han Qing saw that the time was ripe, and immediately hummed, and issued an order to the ten people without a good face or good words, "You ten people still don't tie him up, what are you waiting for?"

The ten people did not dare to slack off, hurriedly picked up the rope thrown by the officers and soldiers, stepped forward quickly, and according to the requirements of the officers and soldiers, the five flowers tied up the Fuju strongly.

That Han Qing was very happy when he saw that the five flowers were tied up and tied to Fuju firmly, so he immediately ordered someone to come forward and escort Fuju away, and then escorted them to the prison together with the ten people and the eunuch Wu Renming.

Fuju faced the brazen and untrustworthy Han Qing, and he was so angry that he couldn't swallow him in one bite, and couldn't help but scold his villain, a shameless man.

That Han Qing was very proud, for the sake of his own future, as if he hadn't heard it, he didn't take it seriously at all, and ordered his subordinates to escort the party to the prison, and after adding troops to strictly guard it, he immediately went to the palace to report to Zhu Wen.

In the past few years since Zhu Wen ascended the throne and became the emperor, although the scenery is infinite, but the career is not smooth, not only are the places falling apart and divided, but there are also many people who are said to be lonely, as for the king and hegemon, the news from all over the country is almost not this chaos, or that opposite, there has never been a thing that makes him happy. When I heard the news that I had been waiting for several years, I was overjoyed, and I couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "Han Aiqing, you have done a very good job in this matter, but you must not be complacent, you must make persistent efforts to arrest all the people behind the scenes." ”

Han Qing swore an oath: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will do everything to dig out his comrades and capture and eliminate them all." ”

Zhu Wen solemnly promised: "Okay, on the day you succeed, I will not only reinstate you as an official, but also promote you to the third level of official and hold a banquet to celebrate your achievements." ”

"Then thank you Lord Longen, Weichen will do it. Hearing this, Han Qing was overjoyed, got up and said goodbye, turned around and went down to the palace, and led the guards like a wolf and a tiger to the Ya shop where the firewood was bought and sold and arrested Ya Lang. Then, led by him, he went straight to Hong Daming's place to arrest people. No, the courtyard has long been empty, and there is no one.

When he heard that Fuju had fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers, and that the officers and soldiers were arresting themselves everywhere, he was taken aback, because of the strangeness of this seamless day, and he didn't know where he was wrong, but he was not in a panic, and he was not busy in a panic, and while arranging for the people concerned to go out of the city to hide, he immediately sent people to find out the whereabouts of Fuju.

After Han Qing was as anxious as a vicious wolf and pounced on the air and found nothing, he became angry and angry, and then not only searched and arrested people all over the city, but also tortured and interrogated Fuju overnight. For a time, it was boiling, the wind and clouds were surging, it was in full swing, and the wind and rain were all over the city, stirring up the people in the city to panic all day long, and everyone was in danger.

Fuju never thought that the matter was not only a bamboo basket to draw water, but also a prison sentence, facing Han Qing's fangs and claws, and the fierce torture, which was not the same thing.

That Han Qing was reinstated as an official, and he was promoted to the third level of the official, and after this interrogation and torture, Fuju was made dead and alive, without a human appearance. But that Fuju has always had nothing to say except for a sentence of no comment, and he has nothing else to say, making Han Qing so angry that he is angry, but he has nothing to do with it from his mouth, and he doesn't dare to kill him immediately, and ruins his future. In desperation, I had to change the method of blindly using punishment and think of another way.
