Walking out of the city tower, the cold wind penetrated into the bones, Chang Yu couldn't help but shiver, tightened his clothes, stretched out his head to look at the city, there was no one, even the original porridge shed had been withdrawn, only a few teams of people and horses were patrolling outside the moat in the distance, and the figure of the horse could be vaguely seen in the distance, as well as the smoke that had not been extinguished in Qingxu County, and the black clouds were rolling on the edge of the sky south of Qingxu.

Walking east along the city, the inner side of the city wall was already full of sandalwood boulders and other objects, which were all gifts for the thief army.

Six of the only eight cannons in the city were transferred to the two walls in the southeast and southeast, and the remaining two were placed under the city for other purposes!

The southeast corner tower, dozens of brocade guards stand with knives, the corner tower is the ammunition depot, in history Zhang Xiong set fire to this ammunition depot and then went down to the city to surrender and open the door.

Learned from the past, Chang Yu didn't dare to be careless, or said that he didn't trust the military very much, so he simply handed it over to Jinyiwei on duty.

The soldiers in the city were busy back and forth, most of them were transporting materials to defend the city, and they didn't even have time to salute Chang Yu, but fortunately, Chang Yu never cared about this kind of red tape.

Hearing the noise, Chang Yu looked up at the city, and saw that the houses near the city gate were being demolished, which was also for war preparedness, mainly because he was worried that once these houses near the city gate were ignited by stray bullets, they could cause a war in the city.

Seeing from a distance that Zhou Yuji was leading a few generals to point outside the city on the east city wall and say something, Chang Yu walked over quickly.

"The factory is up," Zhou Yuji and others said hello to Chang Yu.

Chang Yu nodded slightly, only then did he notice that there were more than ten generals standing behind him, in addition to Zhou Yuji's own descendants, there were also foreign aid Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin, knowing that they were arranging defense signals, so he said: "You guys are busy first, let's take a look at it at will."

Zhou Yuji was not hypocritical, and then nodded and discussed with his subordinates, Chang Yu wanted to listen to it alongside, but he was afraid of causing psychological pressure on Zhou Yuji, after all, he had an overseer status, which would make him feel constrained and unable to let go, and he always had to ask his own opinion on everything, and he was a half-ass, rather than being like those eunuchs and eunuchs in history who restrained the generals, it was better to let him go.

Seeing Zhou Yuji and his subordinates pointing and walking farther and farther away in the city, Chang Yu's gaze retracted and looked into the city.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

He was on the east side of the city wall at this time, and the Jin Wangfu was close to the east city wall, condescending, and the palace had an unobstructed view.

"It seems that this little prince is also a person with a heart" Chunxiang looked at a side courtyard of the palace and sighed, where nearly 100 families were lining up with knives to practice fighting skills, and there was a faint sound of shouting.

Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, although the imperial court stipulated that the vassal king was not allowed to raise private soldiers and not hide military armor, but the regulations of the imperial court had already become an ornament by this time, and the situation forced at this time, it was always necessary to get some self-protection power, and the local supervising officials had already turned a blind eye, otherwise Zhu Xianxuan knew that he could get a glimpse of the palace in the city, and he was still such a blatant practitioner.

"Gonggong, take a trip to the palace?" Fang San squeezed his eyebrows beside him, Chang Yu rolled his eyes at him: "What do you think, the big war is coming, and this kind of thing is ...... like children's love" As he spoke, he glanced at the Jin Palace: "Ahem, I'm a little thirsty, go have afternoon tea."

The fight will start tomorrow at the earliest, and everything is unknown whether it will be dead or alive, but the love of children is not contradictory at this time, but can improve his fighting spirit and fighting spirit, so Chang Yu immediately wanted to see Zhu Zhi'e.

With Chunxiang and Fang San's entourage, Chang Yu hurriedly came down from the east city wall and walked in the direction of the palace, but he didn't forget to look back at the east gate, and it was really closed.

The army has already issued a ban on the door, and the eight city gates of Taiyuan, except for the regular opening of the big south gate, are closed, prohibiting all the people from entering and leaving, and even the big south gate is only allowed to enter and exit the patrol troops.

The southeast gate of Taiyuan City is called Yichun Gate and the east gate of the Jin Palace, Donghua Gate is almost opposite the door, only three streets apart.

Chang Yu had something in his heart, his steps were hurried, and he almost ran wildly with joy on his face.

"Adult"

Just past a street corner, a few people suddenly rushed out to stop Chang Yu, and shouted in a low voice, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Qin Xing and Zheng Guoxing.

"What?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, these two people are responsible for the intelligence in the city, specifically investigating spies, and monitoring the words and deeds of officials and people.

Encounter! Chang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still pulled the two to the corner of the street to inquire in detail.

I learned that although the people were frightened, they did not see much panic, which depended on the brainwashing of Cai Maode and a group of civilian officials every day, and the fact that Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang secretly killed many thieves who sneaked into the walk and gossiped to confuse the public.

All in all, the people's hearts are still stable.

What about the military heart? This is the thing that Chang Yu is most worried about, in history, the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers is there, and the generals also have the heart to die for the country, but there is a lack of money and food, the army is unstable, and a large number of traitors have sacrificed the city!

After Chang Yu's flaunting of wealth and the rectification of the order, the Taiyuan army's heart can be said to be refreshed and motivated on the surface, and the soldiers all know that the eunuch has enough food and salary in his hand, at least he will not have the heart of surrender because of this.

As for what is going on with the real military heart, Chang Yu is not sure, but Qin Xing and the others divided a large number of people to investigate and secretly visit the army, and the speculation obtained by the secret visit is prehistoric!

In addition to sufficient food and salary, it is the credit of black powder, Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi, these two original generals, after escaping their lives from the thief army, all kinds of black Li Zicheng, from Jiaocheng Black to Taiyuan Black, every day after washing the head of the army is still washing the people and refugees in the city, and the washing for several days in a row makes the soldiers and civilians in the city realize one thing: a thief is a fucking thief, surrender and lose his ancestors for eight lifetimes, not to mention being killed, and being used as cannon fodder!

If you want to live, there is only one way: kill the thief, and you will live!

These days are very momentary, focusing on some low-level generals in the army, and those who find abnormalities are immediately arrested, and they would rather be caught by mistake than let go of one! Chang Yu cautiously explained to the two.

After Qin Xing and the others left, Chang Yu walked towards the palace, but when he didn't think that the gate of the palace was close in front of him, he saw Wu Mengming rushing from a distance to stop him, followed by Tang Potian, Cheng Ming and others, their faces were heavy.

Wu Mengming was busy mobilizing people to go out of the city to make money, what was the matter when he came in a hurry, could it be that his subordinates Fan Jiaqian and Hu Ling were fighting to go?

King Lu is killed!

Wu Mengming's face was pale!

Chang Yu was also confused, Zhu Changshu was dead!

How did he die? Chang Yu's heart immediately cast a shadow, a few days ago, Wu Mengming led people to rob the old man's gold and silver, and then Chang Yu also asked Wu Mengming to send someone to beat him.

That is, the news brought back by the brocade guards who went to beat him, that day Wu Mengming plundered the old man's cash silver in the wilderness and left, although it did not hurt anyone's life, but it also scared the old man half to death!

If Zhu Changshu returned to the house or went to other places to recuperate for a few days at this time, he might be able to ease his recovery, but the disaster was not a one-way street, after Wu Mengming left, the family of the palace suddenly plundered the remaining jewels and jade treasures under the leadership of a few anti-bone boys, and dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Zhu Changshu's family in the wilderness and calling heaven and earth should not be.

After being frightened, Zhu Changshu, who was already old and frail, immediately stretched out his legs and died!

Chang Yu was surprised after hearing this, the historical Zhu Changshu fled south and finally died of illness on the lake boat, but at this time, he died a few years earlier and died in the wilderness.

Although he didn't kill him with his own hands, but he had something to do with it, and the consequences may be more serious, if he just made money, Chongzhen could pretend not to know, or even steal fun, but the dignified king of the domain lost his life because of this, then Chang Yu's account is recorded on the royal case, if no one knows the inside story, if there is a little gossip out, Chongzhen can flip through this account book at any time as long as he wants, and kill him at any time, and it is fair and reasonable!

"These damn family members, all fucking white-eyed wolves, don't know how to do their best for their masters at the critical moment, but they take advantage of the fire to rob, and they are all arrested and cut down!"

Wu Mengming scolded hatefully.

Chang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and put himself in his shoes, if he was one of those family members, he might also do this kind of thing, after all, the poor protection made the master robbed, and he had to settle accounts after the autumn, plus the army of thieves was nearby, no one knew what the result would be in the next moment, rather than so, it was better to rob the jewels and scatter, and the police uncle was too lazy to chase you in this chaotic year, and it was a big deal to escape into the mountains and forests and fall into the grass for Koubei.

"It's come to this, what are you doing to say these useless words," Chang Yu coughed lightly, "The thing to do now is to put the basin that killed King Lu on the heads of those family members!" ”

"How to deduct it?" Wu Mengming looked confused!

Chang Yu secretly sighed that this money-greedy ghost short-circuited his brain at a critical moment: "The thief army approached Weihui Mansion, King Lu fled north, and on the way, the family saw the wealth and robbed and killed!" ”

Forehead...... Wu Mengming's head turned, and then his face showed joy: "Then, wouldn't it be that even the shit basin that was robbed before was detained to those damn family members!" ”

Chang Yu smiled and said nothing!

Wu Mengming rubbed his hands excitedly: "The factory master is tall, it's really high, but since the basins have been deducted from those families, let's recalculate the previous silver...... Hey! ”

Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Lord Wu, the lard is blinded, these basins are deducted for outsiders to see, and the psychological eyes of the one in Beijing City can see it clearly, are you sure you want to recalculate with him?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, joking, joking!" Wu Mengming laughed!

Chang Yu sighed, and was still thinking about how to tell Chongzhen about it, saying that it had nothing to do with him, with Chongzhen's old fritter, coupled with his suspicious personality, he would never believe it, but he couldn't admit it if he was killed, he must push it clean, well, he glanced at Wu Mengming, who had two eyes dripping, then push it to this product!

Ahh Wu Mengming, who was thinking about something, suddenly sneezed, and then rubbed his nose: "Factory father, what are you still doing Wang Shen's job, I always feel ...... Ahem! ”

"A lot of silver, three or three points!" Chang Yu stretched out his hand in front of Wu Mengming's eyes and rubbed it, "Lord Wu, if you don't do it, quit and go back to the capital, we will do this work ourselves!" ”

Don't don't, don't! Wu Mengming hurriedly waved his hand and glanced around: "Taiyuan is in a hurry, the factory is busy with official business, this kind of errand before and after the saddle will be handed over to the lowly position to do" said and squeezed his eyes towards Changyu: "Resignation!" ”

But then he turned around and asked, "By the way, who are you sending this time?" ”

"Hu Ling" Chang Yu said lightly, beckoned and whispered in his ear: "Let Tang Potian and Cheng Ming keep their mouths shut, this is a big deal, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens, we will all cut it together!" ”

This is natural! Wu Mengming nodded and looked at Tang Potian and the others who were waiting on the street corner in the distance.

"Go now, go back!" Chang Yu said lightly.

Wu Mengming hugged his fists and left.
