Chapter 23: The End of the Jin Dynasty (7)

When Wang Li saw that everyone was looking at him, he knew that he had offended everyone today. hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really tormenting the lower officials, all the adults here, all of them are clever and intelligent, they are all rare talents in the country, and the lower officials are just a little clever, and they are far worse than your adults!" ”

After everyone heard Wang Li finish speaking, their faces gradually improved. They all said: "Where is it, Lord Wang is very intelligent, we should learn from Lord Wang." ”

Looking at the people present boasting over and praising the past, Zhu Cihong felt sad for the decaying Ming Dynasty, the civil officials were thinking about how to pat the horse, the military attachΓ©s were thinking about how to please their bosses, and no one was willing to think about the country and the people.

Zhu Cihong forcibly suppressed the impulse to clean up this group of unconscious officials, and forced a smile on his face: "Since you are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, then you should drink a cup together." ”

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly thanked Dai De and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised falsely, and the lower officials are just doing their own thing."

"Drinking and drinking" staggered for a while, you toast me, I toast you. When everyone was still drinking wine one by one, all the Jin merchants in the city, except for the Wang family, had been imprisoned.

Wang Dengku waited in the palace for a long time, but did not see anyone sent by the governor's palace to help. couldn't help but be anxious, grabbed the butler's collar, his face was full of anger, his eyes stared straight at him, and anger seemed to erupt from his eyes at any moment.

Wang Dengku roared frantically: "Didn't you say that you have already told the Governor's Mansion the information for help and the flying pigeon message?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

The housekeeper said with an innocent face: "Master, the information for help has indeed been sent to the Governor's Mansion by flying pigeon, why has no reinforcements arrived so far, it must be possible to be intercepted!" ”

Just as the two were talking, a strong man covered in blood broke in, panting and said: "Boss Wang, the enemy is pulling more and more, we can't hold it, the top priority is to break through the siege as soon as possible and withdraw in the direction of Zhangjiakou, where are the reinforcements to receive grain and grass, and we will be safe at that time." Pack your things and go! ”

Wang Dengku was stunned after hearing this, what a strange word for running for his life, it actually fell on himself. I am afraid that the court already knows about his collusion with the Jin people, and the family business of his Wang family is finished in his own generation. Not only the family business, but I am afraid that my entire family will have to bear the wrath of the emperor.

Seeing that Wang Dengku was distracted, the strong man hurriedly roared: "Boss Wang, hurry! If you don't pack your things, it's too late! ”

Wang Dengku couldn't take care of his family, so he took the housekeeper to load a few silver tickets in a hurry, and rushed out with the strong man.

At this time, in the courtyard, Zhao Si led the forbidden army to fight with the Tartars. Seeing that the strong man was coming with Wang Dengku, the Tartars left a few people behind the palace, and a bunch of people rushed through the back door.

Shi Kefa had long expected that the Tartars would break through the back door, and the two rows of archers at the back door had been waiting for the Tartars to throw themselves into the net. "Bang", the back door was kicked open by the Tartars, and the people inside rushed out in a swarm, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the situation in front of them, and the two rows of archers in front were waiting for them!

"Retreat" I don't know who shouted, and the Tartars instantly squeezed back frantically, for fear that they would run slowly and become a live target.

Seeing the Tartars rushing out, the archers in the front row immediately took their bows and shot arrows, and in an instant, the arrow feathers "swished" towards the Tartars. After only a few clanging sounds, the Tartars in the front row swung their knives and cut down the arrows, and some people were not so lucky, and they fell down after being shot by the arrows. The first row retreated after shooting, and the archers of the second row came up to shoot arrows, and for a time the arrows flew all over the sky, and in a short time the Tartars were killed and wounded heavily.

Although some of the arrows hit the tartars hard, some of them retreated back into the courtyard.

After a while, Zhao Si and Shi Kefa surrounded the Tartars. Wang Dengku regretted that his intestines were green when he saw this, and he didn't do a good business, so he had to go to collude with Houjin. As a result, now that the court knows, not only is it going to be finished, but the family it is involved in must be finished.

After surrounding the Tartars, Shi Kefa did not rush to attack, but ordered Zhao Si to lead a group of people to capture all the Wang family.

After all the Wang family's property was confiscated, Zhao Si imprisoned all the Wang family's family members in one place, and Shi Kefa led people to launch a general attack on the Tartars in the courtyard. As if anticipating their fate, the Tartars in the courtyard went completely crazy, with red eyes and knives to kill Shi Kefa, as the archers in the back row rained down with arrows, the Tartars in the front row fell down one after another, and the fall of the accomplices not only frightened the Tartars, but became more and more crazy, and would rather step on the body of their companions and kill the forbidden army.

The two armies were at war together, and the Tartars, though valiant, had the upper hand in numbers, and now they were nothing more than a desperate struggle between the trapped beasts.

After a while, the Tartars fell to the ground. Shi Kefa led people to rush into the house and arrested Wang Dengku and the housekeeper who were hiding in the corner.

Although this operation occupied the right time and place, but the casualties of the forbidden army were still there, thinking of the partners who got along day and night in the past, they left themselves like that, everyone stared at Wang Dengku with angry eyes, and Wang Dengku was scared to hide in the corner of the wall and tremble.

The forbidden army didn't care so much about you, and brutally drove Wang Dengku and the others out of the house.

Shi Kefa glanced at Wang Dengku, sighed and said regretfully: "Today's fate is your fate, if it weren't for the Holy Lord to personally interrogate you, I'm afraid you would have died by now." After speaking, Wang Dengku and the others were escorted to the place where the Wang family's family members were held.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials will give you a drink. If you soar in the future, don't forget to go down. ”

"It's easy to say, if there is anything that needs Lord Li's help in the future, Lord Li should not refuse."

"That's nature."

At this time, Zhu Cihong of the VIP Building looked at the drunk appearance of everyone, smiled sarcastically, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is my official of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are mediocre and incompetent, and they can only slap their beards and slap horses, and they will intrigue." There is no one who really works for the people, and the country can be stabilized in this way, that is, the sun has come out in the west. ”

At this time, Shi Kefa rushed over with someone.

Shi Kefa asked with concern: "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "The palace is fine, how about the casualties of the forbidden army." ”

Shi Kefa was stunned after hearing this, how could he not ask about the merits, and asked about the loss of personnel as soon as he came up.

Seeing that Shi Kefa didn't speak, Zhu Cihong said angrily: "What? Don't even know about the casualties? That's how you do things? ”

Only then did Shi Kefa react, and hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the forbidden army killed fifty-four people this time, seriously injured one hundred and forty people, and slightly injured three hundred and sixty people. This time, all the families of the seven Jin merchants were arrested and brought to justice, and all 400 Tartars were killed. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "Bury the brothers who died in battle, each family will give a settlement fee of 100 taels of silver, and the seriously injured brothers will be treated at all costs, and if there is no way to continue the battle, 80 taels of silver will be given a severance pay." And when the minor wounds had been healed, each man was rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and the rest of the men were rewarded with ten taels of silver each. ”

After hearing what Zhu Cihong said, Shi Kefa knelt down and said, "The minister has thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of those forbidden troops!" ”

"It's all right! Hongu is tired and rests first. After saying that, Zhu Cihong walked out, and Qi Long hurriedly followed, protecting Zhu Cihong's safety.
