Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cleanup

The guests at the banquet are all old fritters from Kyoto, so they are extremely cautious in their words, especially on this occasion. So after a few topics were discussed, the scene was a little dull, and he blindly raised a glass for our only adult Chen.

Drinking stuffy wine and eating stuffy meat is not common in officialdom, which has always been full of flattery and flattery. But all the nobles present today are too big, no one disdains to pat anyone's ass, and no one is willing to accept anyone's face, such a scene is inevitably a little embarrassing.

And Chen is the only one who is the protagonist of this feast, but the real big boss is Duan Chong. Just as everyone was eating, Duan Chong suddenly opened his mouth: "Ladies and gentlemen, Duan Chong has something I want to ask you. ”

I only heard the Prime Minister respond: "Uncle Wen Yuan, please speak." ”

Duan Zhong nodded and said: "Although Duan Chong is from Dali, he is also a courtier of Nanliang, so he is also extremely fond of Nanliang, but if there are any chaotic ministers and thieves who want to undermine the stability of my Daliang, I, Duan Chong, will naturally come forward." ”

Lord Zhu Zhenyang nodded and said, "What Uncle Wen Yuan said is extremely true, what my Liang needs is a courtier like you. ”

Duan Zhong smiled slightly and continued, "Thank you Prime Minister for the compliment. It's just that Duan Zhong doesn't understand what to do if he finds a spy from another country in the capital. ”

Lord Zhu Zhenyang replied: "Naturally, I want to kill!" ”

Duan Zhong nodded: "With the words of the Prime Minister, Duan Zhong is relieved." ”

Zhu Zhenyang was stunned: "How can Uncle Wen Yuan say this." ”

But he saw Duan Zhong take out a booklet from his arms, put it on the table and said: "Over the past few days, Duan Chong has found that there are many Dongyi people lurking in the capital, waiting for an opportunity to move, and sitting on the business of killing people and buying lives, which is really a great hidden danger in Beijing. It's just that this group of Dongyi people is extremely secretive, and the imperial court has not been aware of it, and Duan Chong's coincidence found this gang of gangsters. These are the seven strongholds of this group of Dongyi people in and around Nanjing, all of which have been recorded in this booklet. ”

The Prime Minister was stunned when he heard this, reached out and picked up the booklet and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but sink again. Who the Dongyi people in the capital obey the orders, Duan Chong knows, and he knows it, and the location of the stronghold recorded in this booklet is the location of the stronghold of a group of Dongyi people under the second prince, Duan Chong was able to find out all of this, which is indeed a little worrying. At this moment, the second prince Xiao Beiding's face was not good-looking, because Duan Zhong threw this matter in front of him, and it was clear that he didn't want to let himself step down, and nearly half of the many officials present were from their own side, so they naturally knew about these Dongyi people, but today's scene still had to be performed, so the second highness not only couldn't be angry, but also maintained a deep hatred for these people.

Lord Zhu Zhenyang took a breath of extreme horror: "There are still such things? If this is the case, Wen Yuanbo has really made a great contribution, and when I go back today, I will order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly! As he spoke, he took the booklet into his arms.

Duan Zhong immediately smiled and waved his hand, "Prime Minister doesn't have to be so troublesome. In view of the fact that this matter is too big to be made public, I have already consulted with Lord Fu Yin last night to discuss this matter, and Lord Fu Yin was also extremely shocked when he heard about this matter, and he has already taken measures. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at Lord Yin Xu Huanxiang of Kyoto Prefecture. But seeing Lord Xu Huanxiang nodded and said: "Yes, Wen Yuanbo found me last night to discuss countermeasures, and after verification, this matter is indeed true, so without further ado, this official has already taken action, and he must wipe out these Dongyi people before they are noticed, calculate the time, and now the officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture should have all been dispatched to search for these Dongyi people." In this matter, Wen Yuanbo has made a great contribution, and His Majesty's reward will definitely be indispensable at that time. ”

Duan Zhong smiled and arched his hand: "Lord Fu Yin has praised it falsely." ”

However, at this moment, the complexion of our Second Highness, the Prime Minister, the Lord Dutong, and even the Inspector Ye Chaojie has changed a little. Duan Chong's trick is not bad, this is indeed another blow to the power of the second prince, and with the help of the hands of the Kyoto Prefecture, not to mention saving effort, he also earned a good reputation. And if these Dongyi people fall into the hands of the imperial court, it is inevitable that some information will be dug up.

The most important thing is that all the main people present here are eating and drinking in the private rooms on the third floor of this outer building, which means that during the period of time when the incident happened, everyone could not do anything, no information could be transmitted, and no news could be received. This outer building has become a prison under house arrest in disguise, although the house arrest will not last long, but the effect is wonderful. But the people on the side of the second prince still have to show a calm and natural appearance.

How Rao is covering up, this kind of thing happens suddenly, and it will also make people feel extremely depressed, so His Royal Highness finally opened his mouth and said: "Lord Fu Yin, such a major matter, why don't you go to the scene to make overall arrangements, and you can still sit here?" The second prince said this to force this Kyoto Governor Yin away, and he could also go and plug in with an attitude of great concern about this matter, understand the situation by the way, and issue an order. The Prime Minister and Yang Lijie on the side also echoed each other.

But seeing that Lord Yin Xu Huanxiang smiled and shook his head, he said: "It's okay, I planned with Wen Yuanbo all night last night, and today I have laid a net, and these Dongyi clowns can't make any waves." Besides, there are as many as seven strongholds of the Dongyi people, and I am here to command, and it is useless to grow a few more heads, so it is better to sit here and wait for news. ”

When Lord Xu Huanxiang said this, naturally no one objected anymore, and then turned into a voice in favor of wisdom. Xiao Beiding looked at Duan Chong thoughtfully, and Duan Chong returned the salute with a smile.

In the eyes of the second prince, if Duan Zhong was smart, he should choose to leave Kyoto for a while, this time may not be very long, but it will never be so short. But Duan Zhong came back, and he came back with great fanfare, and this time he had to touch his brows and uncover the tiles on his roof, which really didn't leave the slightest face. However, the current Duan Chong, without the support of the eldest prince, can still stand here so strongly, which is something that Xiao Beiding did not expect, and it is also a thing that makes Xiao Beiding very unhappy. Because he has nothing to do with this extremely arrogant Wen Yuanbo.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little wrong, and those who did not know why naturally discussed what the result would be tonight, but most of the people present were people who understood, so only one of the great talents of Jiangnan, Wang Zhikun, the son of the Lord of the Ministry of Officials, expressed his own views eloquently.

Just as the prince was talking, there was a gentle knock on the door, Duan Zhong stood up and opened the door, took a letter from outside the door, and handed it to Lord Fu Yin. Lord Xu Huanxiang opened the letter and looked at it, and immediately looked happy, announcing to everyone: "A Dongyi stronghold in the south of the city has been completely wiped out. ”

But I heard the Prime Minister ask: "Have those Dongyi thieves been caught?" ”

Lord Fu Yin shook his head and said, "This group of thieves resisted extremely fiercely, so they were all annihilated, and they never left a living mouth. ”

The Prime Minister sighed again and again, showing an extremely regretful attitude, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Of course, the prime minister is not the only one who has the same mental activity.

This letter stirred everyone's interest in eating, and no one seemed to be willing to eat anymore, so everyone put down their chopsticks in unison, and just took an occasional sip or two with a wine glass.

Originally, Duan Zhong proposed to call one or two girls who sang music to come in and raise everyone's interest, but everyone was extremely nervously waiting for the news from Kyoto Prefecture, and it was inconvenient to call outsiders, so they could only chat without a word in the private room. At this time, Duan Chong's kung fu was revealed, telling a joke or two from time to time, and interspersing some small stories, so that all the VIPs present enjoyed it.

During this period, there were several letters from Kyoto Prefecture, and each time the news was surprisingly similar, and all the Dongyi people were annihilated, leaving no living mouth.

This made His Royal Highness suspicious, no matter how much the Kyoto Prefecture laid a net, it was impossible to catch everything in one place. After all, there are many masters among the Dongyi people, and the soldiers in Kyoto Prefecture are divided into seven places, and there are not enough masters, no matter how incompetent the Dongyi people are, no one will be able to escape, and if Kyoto Prefecture can use some means, such as nets, smoke, etc., how can they not catch a single live mouth? The most important thing is that there is another person among the Dongyi people, this person is called Chen Shuai.

So at this point, His Royal Highness naturally knew that Duan Zhong and Xu Huanxiang had fired smoke bombs, just to let everyone know the general progress of the matter, but the specific gains were not informed. This is an extremely depressing thing, at first when it was reported that all were annihilated, His Royal Highness was still secretly happy for a while, but every time it was reported to be completely annihilated, this thing was extremely wrong.

And when all the seven letters were received, the result was as expected by His Royal Highness, all the seven strongholds of the Dongyi people were wiped out, and the enemy resisted stubbornly and left no survivors.

His Royal Highness suddenly fell into an extremely passive situation, because he didn't know how many Dongyi people had fallen into the hands of Kyoto Prefecture, and whether these Dongyi people who had fallen into the hands of Kyoto Prefecture had some important information.

Since all seven letters have been delivered, there is naturally no point in continuing this feast, the second prince took the lead in getting up to thank and say goodbye, and the rest of the officials also got up together. Duan Chong didn't stop him, but when the second prince wanted to leave, he smiled and said in the back: "Duan Chong wants to invite His Royal Highness to the 'heaven and earth' to drink flower wine, I don't know if His Royal Highness is interested in this?" ”
