At noon, a ship came over at the patrol wharf of Fengguo Town, Lijin County, Jinan Prefecture, and the soldiers in charge of the wharf came forward to wave their flags to stop the ship for inspection, and the soldiers with the (sun and moon flags) on the bow of the ship stood majestically holding their spears.

At this time, a general wearing chain mail and an iron helmet on his head walked out of the cabin, held up his waist card and said: "I am the governor of Shandong Chengxuan's political department to transfer salt and transport, and I am under the command of Jinan Wei to escort the goods across the border. ”

As soon as the soldiers on the dock heard this, they didn't dare to stop it, but directly ordered it to be released! In this way, the ship continued to sail past the Fengguo Town Patrol Division, and after the ship started, the general just now walked into the cabin, sat on his knees and continued to drink tea.

The man sitting opposite seemed to keep looking at the Ming army on the dock outside the window, and the man who was drinking tea said when he saw this, "Your Excellency Saemon Daishi, what are you still worried about?" ”

The man quickly looked at him and said, "Zhao Sang, thank you for helping us transport things over, we can rest assured that we will pay you tenfold!" ”

Of course, the governor of the Ming Eastern Capital Salt Transport Envoy: Zhao Xingqian, there is still some compliment, after all, he is a court official, but after prevarication, he still accepted the payment, and the ship quickly sailed downstream, that is, the trading place.

So the soldiers in cloth armor walked in and reported, "Yamato: Xigari Na Saida, Saida, Gogo Nyimasi (Your Excellency Saemon Daishi, we have arrived!) ）”

After the ship docked on the shore, the Tokugawa shogunate's Osumi Saemon Daishi and the governor of the Ming Eastern Capital Salt Transport Envoy Division walked out of the cabin and walked to the shore together, and soon the two of them let the Osumi Domain soldiers who were pretending to be Ming soldiers carry the boxes on their shoulders.

The man sitting with his back to them on the shore motioned for the person next to him to go and check the box, and the man who was wearing a shaved hair (tattooed feather hakama) approached the box and let people open it.

This box was full of black gunpowder, and it smelled very strong! The happy man couldn't help but grab a handful with his hand, and commanded, "Yamato: Aunt Husiddo Andemas (Pull the iron cannon!) ）”

The soldier in the large black armor of the shogunate next to him immediately handed over his iron cannon, and the man tried to load the gunpowder and put in the lead bullet, and pressed back and forth a few times before he raised it and lit the lead against the leaves in the distance, pulled the trigger (bang), and sparked a spark on the branch.

After the smoke cleared, the man smiled and said, "Yamato: Ahhh ）”

Then the man was going to try again, but when he reached out, he was too excited and accidentally touched the gunpowder deep underneath. He felt something was wrong? After touching it closely, the man felt that it didn't look like gunpowder at all.

Because it feels particularly rough? And it vaguely feels like something like grains of sand? In order to figure out the situation, he picked it up and watched, and found that there was white fine sand below? Mixed with black gunpowder? Feeling that something was wrong, he quickly got up, drew his samurai sword, and asked the soldiers to open the rest of the boxes and inspect the items.

When he opened the boxes, he went to pick up the gunpowder one by one, and found that each box was filled with fine sand, and the most important thing was that the gunpowder was only one layer on top, so that the gunpowder added up to less than one stone!

This made the man in the kimono angry, and he immediately looked at Hyogo Koyo, the Tokugawa shogunate's Osumi who was facing away from him, and reported, "Yamato: Hyogo, Foot, Crab, Wadashiva, Naisia, Nimas!" Goma and other righteous deaths, etc., Kama deaths, etc., one Brazil (Your Excellency Hyogo Xiaoyun, we have been deceived!) The bottom is full of fine sand, and only the top is gunpowder. ）”

After learning of this, Tokugawa Shogunate Osumi Hyogo Xiaoyun was very angry, he turned around, looked at Tokugawa Shogunate Osumi Saemon Daishi and Ming Dongdu Salt Transport Envoy Governor, and roared angrily: "Yamato: Pressure, Karma, Limas? (That's what you do?) ）”

The two hurriedly buckled their heads and asked for forgiveness, and the Tokugawa shogunate soldiers standing on the left and right also planned to go to the eastern capital of Laming to transfer the salt transportation envoy to the governor, so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy with the generals and soldiers who spoke Yamato and cursed, "Hey! Spare your lives! Listen to me, I didn't know it would be like this! This, this must have been done by Old Thief Yang? ”

The Tokugawa shogunate's Osumi Saemon Daishi, who had long suspected that something was wrong, reported on the report, "Yamato: Hyogo Foot Crab Crab Death Doba Suppress Naivali Valina Niga? (Hyogo Koyo, in that case, should we make a move?) ）”

Sure enough, after glancing at the people behind the grass who were guarded by the shogunate soldiers, Tokugawa Shogunate Osumi Hyogo Koyo acquiesced in the matter.

In addition, Zhu Youlan, who was refuted by the county government, said angrily: "Why do you say that the county lord is fake? Do you dare to deny the waist card that proves your identity? ”

However, the middle-aged old man smiled and said, "What can a mere waist card prove?" Someone's coming! Come up and tell her where His Royal Highness the Lord of Tai'an County is? ”

I saw a familiar face come out and said, "His Royal Highness the Lord of Tai'an County has been sent to the post station by the last general, I don't know where you came from, an impostor?" ”

Ma Wei and Zhu Youlan, who were in the public court, were very surprised when they saw it! couldn't help but identify: "Aren't you the Yan Zongqi?" Why did you frame His Royal Highness the county lord? ”

In fact, both of them are all the way, so naturally they will not listen to Zhu Youlan's words, and the unaware Mingli City Magistrate had to go back to the court to shoot the case, scolding: "Be bold and make a mistake!" How dare you pretend to be a descendant of the county royal family? Give this official a heavy punishment. ”

The two classes of officials and the head catchers and catchers of Mingli City and County immediately pulled out their knives and put them on their necks, seeing that this level was about to be passed, but at the critical moment, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin walked out and shouted, "Slow!" Lord Magistrate, why are you doing this? ”

When the playboy saw that it was them again, he had no choice but to testify, "Uncle Liu, hurry up and arrest the two of them, they wanted to arrest me before, and they also framed my nephew for colluding with the flower thief?" ”

The angry Wu Junzhen retorted: "You spew blood! When did we say you colluded with gangsters? I just want to take you back to the county government to record a confession. ”

The middle-aged old man on the side smiled and said, "Haha! What a confession! The old man wants to see how you record today? ”

Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin, who saw the middle-aged and elderly man three times and twice, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" How dare you refute it in court? Could it be that you are his father? ”

Before the middle-aged old man could speak, the magistrate of Mingli City, who was sitting, replied, "He is Lord Yang, the envoy of Jinan Wei, you can't be rude!" ”

This sudden news can be said to have shocked everyone's brain cells, and the middle-aged and old man in front of him was actually Ming Jin's Wei envoy: Yang Lianqing, is it any wonder that everything he investigated before felt like he was passive? From the morgue in Yizhuang to the man who was previously imprisoned, and the analysis of the situation in which the arrest of the playboy was blocked, Wu Junzhen seems to understand everything.

But it's too late! Ming Jinan Wei directly asked the magistrate of Mingli City to take them all down and put them in prison to wait for tomorrow's execution, after all, Zhu Youlan was charged with pretending to be the county lord! Moreover, Wu Junzhen, Liu Ruilin, and Ma Wei were the ones who defended Zhu Youlan, and even Yao Qiuyue, who came out of the back, was held down with sticks by the officials and prepared to be shackled.

But Yao Qiuyue resisted and stretched out her claws, Wu Junzhen was afraid that something would happen and had to dissuade her from doing it easily, because they would suffer a lot if they did it like this! It is tantamount to openly provoking the officials of the imperial court, which is an act of rebellion and is to be beheaded.

Of course, the playboy is a little unhappy? He watched the beauty (Zhu Youlan) who was finally able to get her hands on the crime of impersonating the clan and beheaded, and he was very sad when he looked at the beauty Yao Qiuyue who was detained just after he appeared to meet!

In the face of this interrogation, Wu Junzhen was naturally unconvinced! He was in a hurry and used the agitation method to say, "Since this is the case, we will all be beheaded!" Why don't you interrogate it openly and let the political envoy of Zuo Bu also testify? ”

This sentence is clear to the general banner of Ming Jinan Wei and the envoy of Ming Jinan Wei to the experience, and they think that Wu Junzhen is trying to find the political envoy of Ming Dongzuo to save his life?

Therefore, I thought that the very smart Ming Jinan Wei experience made me worry that the political envoy of Zuo Bu would cheat? It was proposed to let Ming Shandong raise the sentence according to the probation envoy: Song Xueshu and Ming Shandong Commander Envoy: Zhang Xianzhen, these three divisions came to the trial together, after all, pretending to be a clan is also a big crime and should be beheaded, so the three divisions in this place are invited to listen to their opinions, is it to correct the law on the spot? Or is it sent to Nanzhili?

In this way, the matter quickly spread to the jurisdiction of the three divisions stationed in Shandong Chengxuan, the first to arrive was the Ming Shandong Zuobu political envoy and the accompanying officials, the second to come was the Ming Shandong Provincial Punishment Inspector, and the last was the soldiers in the Qingzhou Left Guard Battalion Training Ground in the territory of Qingzhou Prefecture to send an order to report, only then did the Ming Shandong Commander pick up the letter and order to take a fast horse to Licheng County, the capital of Jinan Prefecture.

After a day and a night of running, he also rushed to the post station in Zhangqiu County, Jinan Prefecture, and stayed to let the horse rest.

Zhu Youlan, who was imprisoned in the prison at night, struggled very tirelessly, and scolded, "Are you jailers blind? How dare you detain the county lord? Hurry up and let the county lord come out, otherwise you will feel good! ”

The jailers who were sitting on the table drinking and guessing looked at her and reassured, "What are you shouting? Stop shouting! I want to let you out, too, but who made you pretend to be a descendant of the clan? ”

Ma Wei and Liu Ruilin, who were locked in the cell next door, were also sighing that their lives were coming, and then thinking of all kinds of things in the past, they felt that this level was sad! Ma Wei, who was afraid of being punished tomorrow, asked Yao Qiuyue to use charm to trick the jailer into taking the key and escaping.

However, Yao Qiuyue didn't seem to have any intention of running away at all? Instead, he looked at Wu Junzhen in the next prison, and he comforted everyone very calmly, "Don't worry! We'll be able to turn things around soon. ”

At noon on the second day, after the county yamen was heavily beaten by the yamen, the magistrate of Mingli City led his subordinates to move to the entrance of the vegetable market, and sent a large group of soldiers to be fully responsible for arming and confirming the surrounding security in the market center.

Immediately after the Ming Li City Governor took a seat next to him, and sent someone to pick up the three divisions on the field, the political envoy of Ming Shandong Zuobu who changed the official uniform and a group of entourages slowly walked up the steps to the left seat and sat down, and then to the Ming Shandong Provincial Punishment Inspector helped the long-winged hat, and sat down elegantly in lifting the knees, and finally to the Ming Shandong Commander who was wearing a tiger pattern official uniform also sat on the stage, and the three announced that they would bring the prisoner to interrogation.

A soldier in the center of the station was in charge of shouting, "Take the prisoner!" ”

Later, Wu Junzhen and the others were all dressed in white prison clothes, with shackles on their hands and anklets tied to their feet, and were slowly brought up by the jailers step by step.
