Volume 4: Fighting Against the King of Luoyang Chapter 254: Raiding the Imperial Village
Thousands of officers and soldiers rushed straight in front of Huangzhuang, and then quickly dispersed to surround Huangzhuang.
An officer rode over and reported to the king's commander: "Commander, we have surrounded the entire Zhuangzi, what should we do next?"
Commander Wang asked Li Yinglong: Lord Li, what should you do next?
Li Yinglong said: Commander Wang, you are in charge of commanding outside the village, if you find someone escaping, try to catch them alive as much as possible, and kill them if they desperately resist.
After that, he paused, and then said: Allocate a thousand soldiers and horses to me, and follow me into the village.
The king said, "Yes, my lord."
Turning his head to an officer who followed him, he ordered: "Adjutant General Zhang, you order a thousand soldiers and horses to enter the village with Master Li, and all actions are under the command of Lord Li.
Vice General Zhang replied: Yes, Lord Commander.
Riding a horse and running away, he will soon lead a large group of soldiers to the gate of Huangzhuang.
Li Yinglong waved his hand and ordered: Enter the village!
Li Yinglong, Feng Tiancheng, Huang Gongwang, and Zhizhi rode into the Huangzhuang first, and Zhuang was in chaos when he was neutral.
Li Yinglong and the four of them led a large group of men and horses to rush into Huangzhuang, and some soldiers stationed in the village ran out with weapons to intercept them.
An old man who looked to be about sixty years old and wore a purple robe ran out of a big house and shouted in front of Li Yinglong and asked: Hey, where did you come from, why did you trespass into the Huangzhuang, I don't know if this is the crime of killing your head?
Li Yinglong asked coldly: Who are you?
The old man said proudly: "Below is the deputy head of the Huangzhuang, who are you?"
Li Yinglong said: I, Li Yinglong, the magistrate of Luoyang County, come to the deputy governor, listen, this county has found out that someone has set up an underground black workshop in your Huangzhuang to privately mint coins, so he specially brought the army to investigate and arrest the criminals who minted money, and all those who know the current affairs will surrender on their knees, otherwise they will all be killed.
Hearing this, Noble was furious and pointed at Li Yinglong with his hand and shouted: Li Zhixian, you are so bold, who is Huangzhuang who said that copying will be checked, this must have the emperor's holy decree, otherwise you will commit the great crime of rebellion and rebellion.
Li Yinglong said coldly: Nonsense, if I don't have the emperor's holy decree, how can I mobilize the soldiers of the Luoyang North Battalion.
After that, he waved his hand and shouted: Come on, take down the deputy chief manager.
Several men rushed out of the team and pounced on Noble Dash, grabbed him and tied his arms behind his back.
Li Yinglong shouted to the Huangzhuang soldiers who were in a daze and didn't know what to do: Hey, didn't you hear the words of this county, don't you all put down your weapons and surrender, Grandma Ganpi, you want to die.
The soldiers woke up, hurriedly threw their blades to the ground and raised their hands.
Li Yinglong instructed Adjutant General Wang: General Wang, send some people to watch over these prisoners, and don't let them escape in chaos.
Vice General Zhang replied: Yes, my lord.
Turning around, he ordered more than a hundred people to be transferred from the team and put the prisoners in custody.
Li Yinglong shouted to the troops: search the house carefully, first, drive everyone out of the house; Second, find out the counterfeit money warehouse; Third, find out the underground money minting black workshop and rescue all the workers who were arrested to do black work.
After that, he waved his hand and ordered: action.
All the soldiers suddenly dispersed and rushed towards the various rooms of the Imperial Village.
Li Yinglong said to Feng Tiancheng, Huang Gongwang, and Zhizhi in a low voice: The three of you, please go up to the roof and stare at the point, as far as I know, there are many martial arts characters living in the Huangzhuang, and once they do it, these soldiers will not be able to resist the enemy.
Huang Gongwang said: Yes, there are indeed many martial arts people in Zhuangzhong, I have fought with them before, and they are all masters.
Hearing this, the intelligence said strangely: No, our brigade has driven in, and the movement is so big, they won't know it, why don't you see someone come out to intervene?
Feng Tiancheng analyzed: It may be that they heard the wind in advance and withdrew.
Li Yinglong thought of Xiahou Yinglan, and couldn't help blurting out: It may be her ghost.
The three of them asked in unison: Who?
Li Yinglong said with some embarrassment: A very powerful woman, you don't know her.
The three of them said thoughtfully in unison: A woman.
Suddenly, they laughed and said, "We know."
Turn around and spread out and go up to the roof in three directions.
Li Yinglong thought about it and walked forward.
Xiahou Yinglan's residence has not yet been searched by the army, so everything is still the same.
Li Yinglong pushed open the door and walked in, the room still retained the faint aroma emanating from Xiahou Yinglan's body, he twitched his nose lightly and searched in the room, suddenly, a large envelope on the table caught his eyes, he hurriedly walked over and picked it up and looked at it, and saw that there were four words written on the cover, brother opened it himself.
He hurriedly opened it and pulled out two pieces of paper from inside.
The first piece of paper reads: Brother, I know that you are still coming back, so I removed all my people, you can rest assured that you will search boldly, there will be no resistance, but you will not find important things, but some of the things I left you are enough for you to deal with, we will meet later, but if we meet again, we may be enemies, but I still want to meet you.
After reading it, Li Yinglong smiled, and then he looked at the next piece of paper, on which were drawn two pictures, one picture indicated the location of the treasury, and the second picture indicated the upper and lower exits of the underground workshop.
After seeing it, Li Yinglong shook his head suspiciously, and muttered: What is this woman doing?
He took the first piece of paper and the envelope in his arms, and rushed out of the house with the second paper.
Xiahou Yinglan sat at the table and drank tea leisurely, thinking about things, her face showed anger for a while, and a smile for a while.
A woman's crisp voice sounded outside the door: Master, the guest has arrived.
Xiahou Yinglan woke up, hurriedly got up from the seat and walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and the king of Luoyang, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in.
Xiahou Yinglan affectionately stretched out her arms to hug one of the arms of the King of Luoyang and asked with a smile: "Is the prince here?"
He was pulled into a chair, then sat down on a chair next to him.
A young maid walked in, poured a bowl of tea for the king of Luoyang, and then withdrew, closing the door with her hand.
The king of Luoyang turned his head and asked, "Yinglan, why did you ask me to come to your secret place to meet, is something wrong?"
Xiahou Yinglan said with a panicked look on her face: Lord Wang, something is wrong, early this morning, the magistrate of Luoyang County went to the Peking University military camp to transfer thousands of soldiers and horses to surround Huangzhuang, and our underground money casting workshop in Huangzhuang may be finished.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang jumped up from his chair in shock and shouted: What, Huangzhuang is surrounded by soldiers and horses from the Beida camp, ------ to say so, all the money we minted fell into the hands of that magistrate ------ all?
Xiahou Yinglan shook her head and said: "That's not it, because I knew in advance that Huangzhuang might be in danger, and I have transferred most of the money out, and there are not many people left in Huangzhuang, but our coinage workshop has been destroyed, and we can no longer mint money."
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang asked suspiciously: Yinglan, how did you know in advance that Huangzhuang was going to be in danger?
Xiahou Yinglan said: Yesterday morning I went back to Huangzhuang, as soon as I entered the village I found that there was a lot of commotion, the soldiers in the village were scurrying around to search for something, I inquired to know that it was a worker who ran out of the workshop that night, I didn't care much at the time, so I went back to the room to rest, the little prince knew that I was back, so he came to me, and told me that the worker who ran away was the magistrate of Luoyang County, who had mixed into the underground workshop in the village and worked as a money minter for a day, I knew that things were not good, so I ordered my men to transfer the copper coins in the treasury that night. However, not all of them were shipped, and there were still some left.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang was extremely shocked and said: How could Luoyang Zhixian get into Huangzhuang, how could he know that Huangzhuang has a money casting workshop, this matter is extremely secret, and only a few people at the top know within us, where did this Li Zhixian get the news?
Xiahou Yinglan looked very hesitant to say it but didn't dare to say it.
Seeing this, the king of Luoyang asked: Yinglan, you say, what is going on?
Xiahou Yinglan said: "Lord, I said that you don't want to be angry.
The king of Luoyang said sharply: Say it quickly.
Xiahou Yinglan Dao: This may be the little prince who sold copper coins out and was traced to Huangzhuang after being discovered by that Li Zhixian.
Hearing this, the king of Luoyang exclaimed: What, Hong'er sells copper coins, why don't I know anything about this?
Xiahou Yinglan said: I also only found out.
The king of Luoyang thought for a moment and said suspiciously: How is this possible, there is no third person who has the right to open the door of the treasury except for you and me, how can Hong'er open the treasury and transport money out?
Xiahou Yinglan said: I have a certain responsibility for this.
After a pause, he continued: I have a stand-in that looks very similar to me, she fell in love with the little prince and the little prince got together, the little prince knew about the coinage from her mouth and had a crooked idea, my stand-in pretended to be me and ordered the person in charge of the treasury to open the treasury and let the little prince smuggle coins out of the inside to sell, I checked, before and after a total of twelve times, each time four cars and eight boxes, one of which was transported to Suzhou four cars were secretly seized by the county magistrate of Luoyang County, so the magistrate of Luoyang County traced to Huangzhuang.
After that, he raised his head and shouted out: Come on, bring up the stand-in of this seat.
Several women outside the room responded: Yes, Master.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and two girls walked in with a woman who looked almost exactly like Xiahou Yinglan.
