Chapter 008: Dilute Treatment
Early in the morning, Ansu County was already facing a great enemy. The officials went out in all directions, and the villagers bravely entered the city, and even alarmed the Baoding avant-garde stationed not far from the eastern suburbs of Ansu County. At the request of Liang Xianzun, the Baoding avant-garde was personally dispatched by the commander of the guard, and about 300 soldiers came to Ansu County to temporarily listen to the dispatch and assist in the search.
Not only that, two hours later, before noon, Zheng Dezong, a guerrilla general of the Baoding Che Battalion, rushed to Ansu with about 800 people from the Specimen.
This mobilization was not due to the attack of horse bandits on the city, nor the rebellion of the people, but simply because of an attempted assassination.
The prince was on his way back to his hometown to prepare for the exam, so he was assassinated in the Zheng family's courtyard every day and night!
The group of about nine to ten assassins was killed on the spot by the Gao family, seven of whom were seriously wounded and captured, and one or two took advantage of the chaos to escape. According to the analysis, Ansu County believes that there is a high probability that the assassins still have the same party.
The assassination of a petty officer with no rank or rank, whether it has been completed or attempted, will never reach the level of allowing the army to be dispatched, and even now not only the guards but also the guerrilla generals of the car battalions of the serious field troops have come.
Here, there may be a relationship between the word "prince" at the beginning of the high-level pragmatic official position, but in the final analysis, of course, it is because of the high arch.
Gao Gong is the second assistant of the emperor's division, and he is in charge of affairs, and the dragon of the holy family is unrivaled for a while, and he has the power of the world, and Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet elder in charge of the military department, has always been a close friend of Gao Gong in the outside world, not to mention the Baoding avant-garde commander and the guerrilla general of the Baoding car battalion, even if the Baoding general army came in person, I am afraid it is not unusual.
The chief soldier of Baoding did not come, and it was not that he was in charge of his identity, but he really couldn't do anything - he was in Beijing at the moment, and he was reporting to the Ministry of War on matters related to this year's autumn exercises, and he didn't know about Gao Shishi's accident at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the eunuch guarding Baoding was actually not resident in Baoding but resident in Zhending, maybe this Zhongguan and noble person would be added to the people who came here at this moment.
Of course, although the governor of Baoding is also stationed in Zhending, he will not come in person even if he knows, after all, the face of civil officials is much more important than that of military generals and eunuchs.
After Gao Pragmatic learned that the matter was big, he was actually very dissatisfied. Originally, Gao Gong resigned three times because of too much power, and now something happened to him, and he immediately made the local enemy like a big enemy, which is probably not what Gao Gong wants to see.
What's more, Gao Pragmatic himself doesn't want to be like this.
If the emperor feels that "the people of the world know that there is a high pavilion elder, but I don't know that there is a majesty", then I am afraid that even Longqing will have to reconsider whether the trust in Gao Gong has been too much.
Too much, Kang Long has regrets.
Therefore, even though Gao Pragmatic was a little afraid after the assassination, he still met with Liang Wu and Zheng Dezong and others in person. After cordially and warmly thanking them for their attention, he strongly asked not to expand the situation, and said: It is just that some people are dissatisfied with Shuai Jiamo, who insisted on promoting the case of Ding Sijuan, a native of Huizhou, and wanted to kill people and destroy them, which affected them, and it was not worth such a big fanfare.
Liang Wu, Zheng Dezong and others, who were also afraid, of course welcomed Gao's pragmatic attitude, but they were a little worried that Gao Ge Lao would suspect that they did not respect him enough when he found out, so they were a little hesitant.
Gao pragmatic persuaded again and again, saying that he would give a clear explanation to the third uncle, and wrote a letter to his family on the spot as evidence, which made them dispel the idea of "special affairs" and dilute the treatment.
But in fact, Gao Pragmatic already knew that this assassination was not aimed at Shuai Jiamo, but at him - the other party was preparing to sneak into the north room where he lived from the beginning, and after being discovered by the secret post arranged by Gao Ming, he even launched a strong attack on the north room.
Fortunately, although it was impossible for the Gao family's cavalry to engage in cavalry battles in the Zheng family's courtyard, their archery skills were all first-class, and as soon as the assassin entered the courtyard, three people were shot dead on the spot.
In the ensuing fierce battle, Gao Jue, who had always been vigilant and slept in his clothes, took the lead, killing two people on the spot and seriously injuring one, while the rest of the family reaped the remaining results.
In Gao Zheng's north room, only two assassins rushed in, one of them was stabbed in the chest by Gao Heng, who had already heard the sound and went to guard Gao Zheng's bed, and killed him, and the other was then resisted by Gao Ming, and then hacked to death by several family members who rushed in.
The entire assassination from the beginning to the end may not be less than a stick of incense, and Gao Pragmatic didn't get out of bed from beginning to end - not because he was calm, but because he was scared, plus he knew that it was useless to run, so it was better to trust Gao Ming with an iron heart.
After the assassination, some people fled, but Gao Ming did not allow the family members to chase after him, he only sent two family members to the county government to inform Liang Wu that all the others were left behind to guard.
Because in his view, protecting the security of Gao Shi is the first priority, and it is not within the scope of his task to investigate the case after the fact.
Gao Pragmatic was also very nervous for a while, because he had already realized that the target of this assassination was him and not Shuai Jiamo, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the assassin would not play a trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain, so he acquiesced to Gao Jue's approach, after all, this is the most stable way to deal with it.
But it didn't take long for him to regret it, because they only got one live mouth, and that person was not only hit by two arrows in the body, but also slashed several times, and he was already unconscious, and whether he could get a confession was completely up to luck.
There may be many people in the world who want to die with a high arch, after all, although he has many protégés, his political enemies are only afraid of more. But Gao pragmatic did not believe that Gao Gong's political enemies planned the assassination.
Although the political disputes in the Ming Dynasty were fierce, there were very few civil and official political disputes that rose to the level of physical extermination, and assassination was even rarer.
Gao Pragmatism basically ruled out the suspicion of civilian officials, after all, it does not conform to common sense and practice, and second, if it is done by a political enemy, what is the use of killing him Gao Pragmatism?
Gao Pragmatic thinks that the most suspicious planner is only Feng Bao.
But there is one thing he doesn't understand, Feng Baogui is the commander of Dongchang, although his status is high, and his power is great, but his subordinates are all Dongchang Da Jue and fans, and there are no so-called people in the rivers and lakes, and this group of assassins is really not like a public person according to Gao Heng.
Although Feng Bao was insidious and domineering in history, his methods were really not clever. You must know that after Gao Gong was ousted, Feng Bao also made a farce of the "Minister Wang Case", trying to put Gao Gong to death, but even if this Minister Wang case was so naïve that people couldn't laugh or cry, it was still a "within the rules" approach.
At that time, Gao Gong had already left his post, if Feng Bao really had a good "Jianghu person" in his hands, wouldn't it be easier to assassinate Gao Gong directly, why bother to make such a stupid case?
Why is that?
If it weren't for Feng Bao, Gao Pragmatic really couldn't think of anyone who would have to kill him quickly.
