Chapter 216: Ugly Performance

The imperial army is cleaning up the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the city, and there will definitely be all kinds of illegal incidents, Tang Sai'er used the supervision of Jinyiwei and Dongchang people to kill a group of soldiers who took the opportunity to make trouble, which made Jinling City completely calm.

Next, the matter of cleaning up the remnants of the White Lotus Sect was handed over to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the imperial army was only responsible for the safety of the city.

On the third day of the reconquest of Jinling City, the city gate was still closed, and Tang Sai'er was directing people to repair the city gates of the two waterways.

But at noon, dozens of unidentified teams suddenly appeared outside the city.

These people's clothes and weapons are all messy, but they are the banner of the imperial court.

The soldiers on the city walls, seeing these people in disarray, hurriedly issued a warning.

When Tang Sai'er got the alert, he looked puzzled. Could it be that the White Lotus Sect disciples still dare to counterattack?

Liang Jia said with a smile: "The play I said is probably about to start." ”

"Your Majesty, Sai'er will take a look." After Tang Sai'er finished speaking, he led people to the city wall.

Liang Jia naturally went over with him, he wanted to see how these guys played new tricks.

When the two of them climbed the western city wall, they saw that more than a thousand people were standing two or three miles outside the city, these people were dressed in complicated clothes, and they were clamoring with messy things in their hands, and they didn't know what to shout.

"Who's it?" Tang Sai'er commanded his subordinates.

Immediately a soldier shouted outside the city and asked, and after a while, a horse ran out, and immediately sat a middle-aged man dressed in blue.

This guy rode to a place about five hundred meters away from the city wall, and shouted at the city wall: "This official is Du Zilang, the prefect of Jinling, and now he has gathered thousands of people, if you White Lotus Sect bandits know each other, open the door and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame this official for breaking the city and strangling your White Lotus Sect!" ”

Tang Sai'er on the city wall laughed directly when he heard it, and the soldiers were also happy.

Is this person funny? Just the group of people old and young outside the city, still want to break the city?

It's just that tens of thousands of people in the imperial court army have taken a lot of effort to take it down, just with this person, saying such big things, is this person a fool?

However, what made the people on the city wall dumbfounded afterwards was that several teams that appeared in the southern city also moved to the west side of the city, and merged with the prefect Du Zilang, adding up to thousands of people. These leaders turned out to be the original officials of Jinling City, and they all kept saying that they would open the door, and if they didn't open the door, they would do anything.

"What do you think of their play?" Liang Jia asked Tang Sai'er beside him.

"Pretending, pretending not to know, disgusting."

There was no banner of the White Lotus Sect on this city wall, and the soldiers standing there were all dressed in neat court uniforms. What's more, the scene of the White Lotus Sect being defeated three days ago and fleeing in all directions, which of the people in this vicinity doesn't know, but they are still coming under the banner of thieves, which is not an obvious pretense.

They wanted to use this method to cover up the evidence of their escape during the White Lotus Cult's siege.

"Then open the gates and let them in." Liang Jia said.

Tang Sai'er nodded, and then ordered someone to open the city gate.

The gate of Jinling City suddenly and slowly opened, and Du Zilang was relieved, it seemed that his escape should be almost covered up.

"Into town!" Du Zilang waved his hand and took the lead in riding into the city, posing as a generous death.

There were no soldiers guarding the city gate, and the streets were empty, which made Du Zilang, who approached the city gate, a little uneasy.

Just after he entered the city gate, a group of people came down from the city wall, led by a female general, who should be the legendary deputy governor of Dongchang and the temporary minister Tang Sai'er.

"You ...... Are you the imperial army? Du Zilang had a shocked expression.

"Lord Du, isn't this news a little too backward? The imperial army has already recovered Jinling, and you are only here now, isn't it too late? Tang Sayer sneered.

"You are the deputy factory governor of the East Factory, and the temporary Lord Qinchatang?" Du Zilang asked cautiously.

"Then why don't you meet Chincha-sama?" Behind Tang Sai'er, a Dongchang fan shouted coldly.

Du Zilang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and fell to his knees. A cadre of officials behind him and thousands of haphazard men and horses gathered also knelt down one after another.

"Now that Master Du is back, isn't it time to talk about your abandonment of the city and your escape?"

Du Zilang's heart thumped, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Qincha, the lower official has been wronged." When the White Lotus Sect was attacking the city, the officials around the lower officials were almost gone. The lower officials had no right to mobilize the army, so they had to go out of the city to gather righteous soldiers to resist the White Lotus Sect. However, before the lower official led the righteous soldiers to attack, Lord Qincha had already recovered the capital, and the lower official congratulated Lord Qincha on this great achievement, and he would definitely be rewarded when he returned to the capital. ”

"Gather the righteous? Are these people behind you? Tang Sai'er pointed to the old and young, men and women behind him, and asked with a sneer.

"That, Xiaguan can't help it, the White Lotus Sect is raging, and the nearby Qingzhuangnian has either been killed or fled, and Xiaguan can only summon these people."

"Master Du really has a heart!" After Tang Sai'er finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Du Zilang didn't know what Tang Sai'er meant, and he knew that as Lord Qincha, if he had to pursue the matter of abandoning the city and fleeing, he would have no choice but to pull him over and cut him. However, not expressing his position made Du Zilang a little unsure of what to do.

However, the most important thing he should do now is to hurry up.

When he returned to the prefect's yamen, he immediately allocated some money and sent away all the people he had gathered. Subsequently, he immediately sent the arresters who had returned to the Yamen to the streets to maintain law and order and track down the White Lotus Sect disciples.

Those officials who came back with him also showed their enthusiasm, and immediately devoted 120,000 points of energy to the restoration of order in Jinling City.

Not to be honest, these officials who have been in Jinling City for many years really have some means, and they quickly regained some vitality in Jinling City.

Three days later, the officials who came back found that no one had treated him badly, and the Chincha-sama ignored them, and they were still sitting firmly in their official seats. Many people's hearts have settled down, and it seems that the previous play was not performed in vain.

So, starting from Du Zilang, a group of officials began to take their families back, such as big wives and concubines, and teams of carriages entered the city in an endless stream.

But just after these family members entered the city, a holy decree had been handed to the hands of Jinling Jinyiwei.
