Chapter 287: The Minister of the Imperial Mission
There was such a big incident in Xiangyang City, how could Cao Jiangning, as a parent official, not know. When he heard the news, he immediately gathered all the forces of the yamen and rushed to the downtown area.
Others don't know who the black widow is, how can Cao Jiangning not know.
However, as soon as he walked out of the door, another subordinate reported that Cao Shuang's son was also shown to the public.
Isn't this going to take him Cao Jiangning? But in this Xiangyang, who has such courage? He called a few more people to inform all the local officials in the vicinity, such as the governor, the county, the Xuezheng, and the Buzheng, and asked them all to bring people over.
With the arrangements in place, he stepped on his horse and prepared to set off, but his most powerful master, Hua Nanqiao, grabbed the reins of his horse.
"Master Hua, what do you mean by that?" Cao Jiangning asked.
"Master, these fanatics arrested the young master and the young lady at the same time, obviously they were prepared and the people who came were not good."
Cao Jiangning furrowed his brows and did not speak.
"Also, if these people make such a fuss, it will inevitably spread out, even if you kill them, the matter (qíng) will soon spread to the imperial court, and if you don't say your plan earlier, let alone this transfer envoy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save your life."
Cao Jiangning's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Master Hua, you go and inform the Blue Protector and ask him to come over to help, rescue Qingqing and Shuang'er, and leave immediately." ”
Master Hua was overjoyed, got on his horse and ran in the other direction.
As soon as the officers and soldiers appeared, Ling Kun and the others knew that it was Cao Jiangning who was coming, come on, he was the one who was waiting.
After the officers and soldiers stood still, they immediately dodged a passage, and Cao Jiangning walked out violently and shouted angrily: "Qingtianbai (rì), Lang Lang Qiankun, dare to kill people in front of the government, but if you want to rebel, can't you rebel?" ”
"Dad, save us and kill these dog thieves." Cao Qingqing saw that a savior had come and shouted sharply.
Cao Shuang added on the side: "Dad, I want to do it myself, leave those three women." ”
"Lord Cao, I'm going to kill someone." Ling Kun stood in the middle of the stage with his arms crossed, looking at Cao Jiangning with a playful expression.
"It's you." Cao Jiangning was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back, but then he came to his senses and laughed wildly: "I know you are Ling Kun, but so what, you are no longer the original you, a common man, why fight with me?" ”
"Cao Jiangning, you are murderous, bullying men and women,
There are hundreds of people on my back, and I'm going to ask for an explanation for Xiangyang's father today. ”
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead." Cao Jiangning waved his hand, and all his soldiers pulled out their bows and aimed at Ling Kun and the other four.
Ling Kun twisted his neck and smiled, he was not afraid of the 100,000 (jìn) army of Dali, was he still afraid of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Xiangyang?
Shangguan Allure stepped forward and protected Zhao Mingyue and the sword behind.
A big war is about to break out, and the common people are so frightened that they retreat one after another.
It's just that today's Tianxingdao is afraid that he is going to die, and these few little knights who don't want to die are estimated to die.
Still too young, too impulsive.
However, just as the last moment came, another calm and loud shout came: "Stop, stop me." ”
I saw a middle-aged man squeezed out of the people, with tiger eyes and a murderous face, and a long knife collapsed on his waist.
When Zhao Mingyue saw this person, she couldn't help but rejoice: "It's uncle." Ling Kun also immediately recognized that the person was Zhao Mingyue's envoy Li Jilong.
Cao Jiangning's face changed greatly, and he frowned and arched his hand: "Lord Li has come here, and he has not come far away, and he still hopes to atone for his sins." ”
Li Jilong shouted angrily: "Cao Jiangning, you (shēn) are the official of the imperial court and the official of the frontier, and you have done such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs, so put down your weapons and subdue the law." ”
Cao Jiangning said with an unkind face: "Lord Li, I am an official of the imperial court, even if there is a horse that is high and short, I also have my own court opinions, do you want to let these rivers and lakes make reckless judgments?" ”
"Reckless?"
It seems that Cao Jiangning still doesn't know Zhao Mingyue, and Li Jilong doesn't break it, and continues: "Okay, then you can choose to go back to Beijing with this official to confess." ”
"Li Jilong, you and I are both ministers (diàn), and that Ling Kun is just a commoner, why do you have to get along with me?" Cao Jiangning said, retreating behind the soldiers.
"Cao Jiangning, I, Li Jilong, have been fighting horses all my life, and I have sworn to defend the country with my brothers on the frontier, but you are wantonly harming here, and what I hate most in my life is people like you."
"Li Jilong, although you are the same as Pingzhang, you can't control me, no one wants to touch me without the emperor's holy decree." Cao Jiangning shouted: "Listen to my orders, (shè) kill those robbers and fanatics, whoever dares to resist and kill." ”
"Who dare?" Li Jilong didn't wait for the soldiers to release the arrows, first pulled out his waist knife in a hurry, and at the same time raised a yellow scroll and shouted: "
This official is the imperial court Tongping Zhangshi, the minister Li Jilong, today arrested Cao Jiangning and returned to Beijing to confess his guilt, who dares to resist, should be punished for bullying the king, and killed for punishment. ”
The officials and soldiers at all levels in Xiangyang were stunned, it turned out to be Qincha, one was a Beijing official, and the other was in charge, who should they listen to?
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the holy decree in his hand was not issued to us in Xiangyang, you can do whatever the emperor asks you to do, don't care about our Xiangyang's idle affairs, give me (shè) to kill them."
Li Jilong sneered, with a cold light in his eyes, his hand raised his knife and fell, and with one knife he split the captain who was shouting for Cao Jiangning in the front into two pieces.
"I have the emperor's holy decree, that is, to act on behalf of the emperor, you raise your sword against the Qincha, that is a rebellion, and I kill you just to quell the rebellion." Li Jilong waved his big knife and stepped forward: "Come, who dares to come up?" ”
"(shè) Kill them, quickly, he is a fake Qincha, and if something happens, he will have his own official to call the shots for you." Cao Jiangning shouted.
Officials and soldiers at all levels in Xiangyang couldn't help but take a few steps back, still hesitating.
Li Jilong was a little surprised, is this Cao Jiangning crazy, he dares to confront him, is he going to rebel?
Cao Jiangning is crazy, but other officials at all levels are not crazy, those governors and counties still have a lot of futures, and there is no need to follow Cao Jiangning to wade into troubled waters. So the Xuezheng of Xiangyang Mansion was the first to kneel on the ground: "Chen Tongqi, the minister of Xiangyang Xuezheng, knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
When the other officials saw it, they rushed to their knees and shouted long live at the same time.
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all threw away their weapons and knelt down.
Seeing the holy decree was like seeing the emperor, and the people also fell to their knees.
At this moment, there were only Ling Kun and the other four standing on the field, Li Jilong, Cao Jiangning, and the tied Black Widow and Cao Shuang.
Cao Jiangning's face (yīn) was uncertain, and he looked back from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
"Cao Jiangning, what else do you have to say?" Li Jilong asked.
"Master Li, you don't give face so much, in the future, Cao will gain power, don't blame my subordinates for having no (qíng)."
"Cao Jiangning, I originally planned to take you back to Beijing, but looking at your obsessive appearance, I don't think it's necessary, let's correct the Fa on the spot." Li Jilong said, his hand raised his knife and slashed towards Cao Jiangning.
"Stop." Another shout sounded, and at the same time, a white light flashed, and Li Jilong's big knife was suddenly broken in two.
