Originally, Emperor Zhao De of Nanli meant to bring the courtiers and their families who had participated in the Ning Ren case to the palace, and the main hall was heavily guarded, and the Ning people couldn't get in no matter how fierce they were, just waiting for Ruan Hao to force the Ning people to show up, but later found that it was not controllable at all, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and I heard that the Ning people were picking up the killing of officials who could still sit still, where could they take care of what decency or not, and all their brains poured into the palace.

Ruan Hao scolded his mother angrily after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he could concentrate on dealing with those Ning people, and he led a huge team to send the imprisoned Ning people to the square outside the palace, which was only a mile and a half away from the main gate of the palace, and both sides could take care of it.

Luo Bucheng, the general of the forbidden army, led the team to maintain order and screen personnel, lest the Ning people enter the imperial city among the families of those adults, in that case, even the emperor would become unsafe, he thought about it, the group of Ning killers who had not yet seen it might not do this kind of thing, so he divided the team around him into a group to strengthen the guards of His Majesty's imperial study.

There was a commotion at the gate of the imperial city, the forbidden army was trying to maintain order, Luo Bucheng had just arrived with people when he heard his subordinates rush to report the news, saying that Lord Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was intercepted and killed when he was rushing to the palace with his family, and a group of masked people suddenly came out and killed Lord Fang in the carriage, and then cut off the head of the person and disappeared.

Before he could recover his senses, someone came to report the news, saying that a team of more than 100 people had encountered an ambush while searching from house to house, and only about 30 people had escaped, and the rest had all been killed.

This bad news came one after another, which made Luo Bucheng extremely angry, and at this moment he understood the conspiracy of those Ning people, they were deliberately causing panic, and they could only take advantage of the chaos in Shengtu City.

With a fire in his belly, he reprimanded a court official who squeezed into the imperial city, no matter who it was, and scolded him with a slashing head and covering his face, but fortunately, the order of the team was restored a little.

Imperial City Study.

Zheng Dajiang, the deputy general of the forbidden army, quickly ran to the outside of the imperial study and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, another adult has been killed, and the head has been cut off and I don't know where to go, please Your Majesty do not leave the imperial study for the time being, General Luo is taking the forbidden army to check the families of the adults who have entered the imperial city, and the general will personally bring someone to escort him later." ”

"Look what the mess has become!"

The roar of Emperor Zhao De came out of the imperial study: "It's just a few Ning killers, and it's all over the city, and those adults of mine are scared and become shrunken turtles, and if they spread it, how can I have a face?!" ”

Zheng Dajiang said in his heart that I don't have any way, there are only so many forbidden troops in the capital that have all been sent out, looking for them street by street, but those Ning people are not dead and will not move, they attack back and forth, they come out to kill people when they see the hole, and leave when they kill people, what can be done?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will take someone to continue the investigation."

Zheng Dajiang hurriedly retired, thinking that he couldn't stay here and continue to suffer this wrongful scolding.

Outside the imperial city, Luo Bucheng instructed his subordinates to check the people who entered the imperial city one by one, and they were absolutely not allowed to put a suspicious one in, and the six hundred forbidden troops who were originally guarding in the imperial city also moved, closing the other gates of the imperial city and leaving only the main gate, and the team patrolled back and forth in the imperial city.

On the square, Ruan Hao rode on a horse and looked around, two thousand forbidden troops surrounded almost the entire square, as long as Ning Ren dared to appear, it was impossible to escape, he looked back at the noise at the main gate of the imperial city and frowned and scolded, but Li Fupeng shook his head with a smile: "It's a good thing that the people of Nanli are wasted up and down for us, and you don't always need to humiliate the emperor, he is just our puppet, just give him a good face." ”

Ruan Hao snorted: "If it weren't for the large amount of materials they donate every year, and the need for them to send troops to contain the Qiao country, why bother so much if the land of Nanli was directly destroyed." ”

Li Fupeng said with a smile: "It's a lot of trouble to extinguish, and after it is destroyed, we have to support the people, and a small half of the annual treasury income of Nanli Kingdom is directly dedicated to us, and we don't have to worry about anything else, it's much better than extinguishing." ”

Ruan Hao looked around: "Those Ning people should be the most elite soldiers, not ordinary killers, ordinary killers do not have such awareness and cooperation, they advance and retreat in a certain degree, come and go like the wind, they can always aim at the hole and get into it and leave with one blow, the person who leads the team should not be underestimated." ”

"But after all, there is nothing they can do to save people."

Li Fupeng said: "You can rest assured, is it possible for their people to fly away by themselves in this square?" Those Ning people are just retaliating, and the death of a few officials of the Southern Li Kingdom is nothing to lose to us, and death is death. ”

Ruan Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "That's right, death is death." ”

He glanced over to the Imperial City, and the chaos was still there.

Luo Bucheng felt that his head was about to explode, and these adults, who usually looked very powerful, were now like frightened gophers, just wanting to find a hole to drill into, and felt that it was a bit disrespectful to the emperor to compare the palace to a hole in the ground, so he could only sigh.

At this moment, several soldiers of the forbidden army with blood on their bodies rushed over and knelt down on one knee in front of him: "General, something is wrong!" ”

"Say!"

As soon as Luo Bucheng heard the words "something happened", his scalp exploded, and he looked at the soldier's bloody face and asked.

"General Zheng...... General Zheng had an accident, he had led people out of the palace to check on other places, but he was ambushed by Ningren's killers on the way, and there were only a few of us left with General Zheng with him......"

"Where is he?!"

"On Funing Street in the east of the Imperial City, there are already teams that have gone over to maintain order."

"These damn Ning people!"

Luo Bucheng scolded, beckoned to take his own personal army to the side of Funing Street, leaving some people at the gate of the city to continue to guard and comb, those adults heard that someone had been killed again, and the situation that had just calmed down suddenly became more chaotic, squeezing and pushing towards the imperial city, lest they fall behind.

Luo Bucheng took his personal army to Funing Street, and when he turned around from the street, he realized that something was wrong, Funing Street was empty, where was the scene after the fight, there was not even a single fallen leaf on the ground.

He turned his head sharply, and saw that the forbidden soldier who had reported the news to him before suddenly jumped up, and a big shoe sole was already in front of him, and the soldier kicked him off the horse, and before Luo Bucheng could stand up, the man's knife was already on Luo Bucheng's neck.

"You are so bold!"

Luo Bucheng shouted angrily, but after all, he was caught, and he was a little weak when he roared.

Shen Leng said behind Luo Bucheng: "General Luo, right, fortunately I didn't recognize the wrong person, you say that we are bold?" No, it's because you don't need to be bold at all to deal with people like you, and you don't have the ability to scare Ning Ren. ”

Shen Leng's knife slashed horizontally, and a bloody mark was drawn on Luo Bucheng's neck: "Let your subordinates take off their clothes!" ”

"Don't you think about it!"

After Luo Bucheng finished saying these three words, he felt a sharp pain on his face, followed by blood gushing out, and he screamed in pain before he could see clearly that it was a scabbard rubbing against his face.

Shen Leng looked at the soldiers who wanted to go up but didn't dare to come up: "I, Daning, have no grievances or enmity with you Nanli people, it is the hatred between Daning and Qiuli, you were used by Qiuli people to kill my Ning people, but it is not enough for you and me to die endlessly, take off your military uniforms and spare you from dying, and spare your generals from dying." ”

He pointed around with the scabbard, and the hundred and ten soldiers realized that they were surrounded by dozens of masked people, and the crossbows were already aimed at them, although the number of opponents was small, but they clearly felt that death was close at hand.

"Let's talk?"

Shen Leng knocked on the intact half of Luo Bucheng's face with a knife, Luo Bucheng could only follow Shen Leng to the side, and when he arrived at the roadside pavilion, Shen Leng sat down, and took a look, his subordinates had forced those forbidden soldiers to take off their uniforms, and then tied them up one by one.

"As I just said, there is no indissoluble hatred between Daning and Nanli, at the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor Daning sent envoys over with the intention of getting married, but you don't know how to grasp it, now I will give you another chance, we are going to kill those who seek to establish themselves, so I can let you go now, you just need to do me a favor."

Luo Bucheng's face was burning with pain, he looked at the Ning man in front of him, who was at least twenty years younger than himself, but he only had fear in his heart, because this young man was too calm, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to the thousands of Nanli forbidden troops in this Shengtu City at all.

Shen Leng looked at Luo Bucheng's eyes flickering, took out a bottle of wound medicine from the deer skin bag and threw it to him: "Those few people who seek to stand are dead, we will leave immediately, maybe we can't leave, then you should know very well how many more people we can kill, give us half a day, we can make this Shengtu City hear crying everywhere." ”

"What do you want?"

Luo Bucheng asked subconsciously.

Shen Leng said: "Let you go back now, I and my people are ambushing here, you tricked the Qiuli people here, even if we kill the Qiuli people, even if we complete the task, this is not a loss for you, it is much better than your Nanli courtiers being killed by us one after another, you think about it yourself...... In addition, we killed your Nanli's criminal department secretary and criminal department squire, and found almost sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver from the two of them's house, as long as you help us, I will tell you where to put these silvers, you got a lot of money for nothing, and no one will check it. ”

Luo Bucheng's face kept changing, and after a moment of silence, he asked tentatively, "Will you really let me go?" ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Really, but not all of our people are here, the rest of us will be watching you in secret, if we are killed by the people you attracted, then someone will definitely kill you in the future, and your whole family will not be protected...... Think for yourself. ”

Luo Bucheng pondered for a while and then said, "Then you wait here, I will definitely attract the people who seek to be established." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Shen Leng really didn't let people chase him, Luo Bucheng got on the horse and walked away, and soon disappeared from Shen Leng's sight, Shen Leng raised his hand after watching Luo Bucheng leave: "Ready to do a vote!" ”

"Whew!"

A group of men agreed neatly, although the number of people was small, but they were magnificent.
