At this moment, Xiong Mingyu heard someone shouting: "Lord Xiong, slow down!" ”

Xiong Mingyu hurriedly looked up, but saw a person walking out of the teahouse on the street, shouting at himself - it was the arrogant, but helpless Suzhou weaving admiral Ji Qingwen!

Xiong Mingyu knew that Ji Qingwen was difficult to deal with, so he thought that he would ignore Ji Qingwen at all, and escorted Yang Zhan to turn his head and leave. But when he raised his eyes, he saw that the group of proud soldiers and fierce generals of the "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen had already stood up from the resting place on the side of the street, and moved closer to this side in all directions, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

After this "White Lotus Rebellion", Xiong Mingyu can be regarded as having a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the "Ming Wu Army" - the more than 10,000 Nanjing defenders under his jurisdiction could not defeat thousands of White Lotus bandits with high morale; And so many White Lotus Sect bandits have no way to take a mere 1,000 "Ming Wu Army".

In this way, although the Nanjing garrison under his command is numerous, it is definitely not the opponent of the "Ming Wu Army", and ten people may not be able to beat the opponent alone.

Although if you really start with a knife, it will be affected by many other factors, so the account is not as simple as adding or subtracting. However, the combat effectiveness of the "Ming Wu Army" is real - the legend that the Beijing division can go head-to-head with the brave and arrogant elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is not groundless.

With this reason, Xiong Mingyu can't help but pay attention to Ji Qingwen's opinions and positions.

I only heard Xiong Mingyu say: "Lord Ji, you are the Weaving Admiral of Suzhou, although you also have the identity of the Minister of the Qincha, but it is the duty of the official to deal with the officers in Nanjing City, I am afraid that there is no room for Lord Ji to put his beak, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen didn't say a word, Xiong Mingyu used the rules of the Ming officialdom to block his mouth tightly.

But Ji Qingwen, as a person who crossed over from later generations, neither knew very much about the rules of these officialdoms, nor was he willing to understand them, he just wanted to break out of a place where there was no road.

So Ji Qingwen said: "Lord Xiong, I don't know if I care about it, whether I should care about it or not." I just want to ask Lord Xiong, can the emperor take care of this matter? ”

When Xiong Mingyu heard Ji Qingwen raise the name of Emperor Chongzhen, he could only reply: "All parties in Kyushu are the emperor's subjects, and the emperor is naturally in control." But what does this have to do with Lord Ji? ”

Ji Qingwen smiled "hehe": "Lord Xiong, you are from a serious background, and you have made a name for yourself in the imperial examination officialdom. But when I am an official, I am a miscellaneous official, and the official hat on my head was given by the emperor, and the emperor can naturally cut it off in one sentence. So today's matter, if the emperor asks, if I don't know, the black gauze hat on that head will not be taken off by the emperor immediately? ”

Ji Qingwen mentioned "emperor" many times in one sentence, which really made Xiong Mingyu unable to refute half a sentence, so he could only ask with a little vigilance: "Then what does Lord Ji mean?" ”

Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "It's just that I want to ask Lord Xiong to punish General Yang Zhan's reason, just talk to me." ”

Xiong Mingyu's face sank, and he thought: It turned out that Ji Qingwen wanted to meddle in Yang Zhan's affairs, and I had done a good job in this matter, in case he made it clear to the emperor with added fuel and vinegar, not only would the attempt to shirk the blame fail, but also the crime of framing Zhongliang - at that time, it would not be Yang Zhan who was executed by Ling Chi and the nine clans, but myself......

Xiong Mingyu thought of this, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but he heard that Ji Qingwen was still aggressive, and said: "It seems that this is a long story, just standing here and talking, it is inevitable to lose the official body." Come on, come on, this teahouse has been contracted by the lower officials, and Lord Xiong is invited to ...... A few other adults came in with me, and I invite you to have tea and talk about it......"

Xiong Mingyu refused without thinking about it: "No need, we'll just say it here." ”

So Xiong Mingyu picked up the charges that he had just made up temporarily, picked what he could say, and briefly talked about it with Ji Qingwen.

In fact, Xiong Mingyu planted charges on Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan was not convinced, Liu Kongzhao was reasonable, Yang Zhan intended to resist the process of being forcibly taken down in the end, Ji Qingwen clearly saw it in his eyes.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen had already discussed with Li Yan about the countermeasures, and after listening to Xiong Mingyu's words, he said: "Lord Xiong, the lower official is a junior, and there are some things that should not be said. However, listening to these reasons you said, none of them can stand, I'm afraid it's not easy for the emperor to make a difference, right? ”

Of course, Xiong Mingyu knew that his reasons were untenable, so he naturally didn't want to have this kind of argument with Ji Qingwen, so he said: "Whether it is good or not to have a good relationship with the emperor, that is the matter of the official, and it seems to have nothing to do with Lord Ji, right?" Okay, Lord Ji, Yang Zhan fornicated with the White Lotus Demon Bandits, the case is complicated, and this official will have to try it with other adults and the Yamen, if you don't have anything to say, this official will retire......"

Ji Qingwen just discussed with Li Yan, what he was afraid of was that Xiong Mingyu and others would take Yang Zhan to prison, and then torture him to extract a confession and torture him into a trick.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen was also quite nervous when he saw that Xiong Mingyu was going to escort Yang Zhan down, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "Those few words that Lord Xiong just said, can the lower officials truthfully report to the emperor?" I'm afraid that after the report, the emperor will be dissatisfied! ”

When Xiong Mingyu heard this, he suddenly had an idea, turned around and looked directly at Ji Qingwen and said: "Lord Ji, Yang Zhan's fornication with the White Lotus Sect demon bandits, Yu Qinghe and Yu Litong, presumably the evidence is not difficult to find." And Lord Ji is always defending Yang Zhan with a thousand words, could it be that he has something to do with him? ”

What a move Tai Chi pusher!

In just a few dozen words, dirty water was splashed on Ji Qingwen's head, which can be said to be the best kung fu that Xiong Mingyu has practiced in officialdom for decades.

Ji Qingwen couldn't help but be a little flustered when he heard this.

You must know that although Yang Zhan has no half-dime relationship with the White Lotus Sect, Ji Qingwen has a lot of stories with the White Lotus Sect - Xu Hongru, Zhou Xiuying, Xu Daoqing and others in the White Lotus Sect all have some grievances with him, and in the final analysis, today's uproarious "White Lotus Rebellion" is still caused by Ji Qingwen.

And the relationship between Yang Zhan and Ji Qingwen is quite close, and if you really want to dig deeper, it is not difficult to conclude that Yang Zhan came into contact with the White Lotus Sect through Ji Qingwen. And once there is such a conclusion, then Ji Qingwen himself will also be implicated and will be placed on the charge of the White Lotus Sect as a cause of chaos.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen suddenly found that Yang Zhan's safety was connected with his fate for some reason, so he couldn't let Xiong Mingyu and others take Yang Zhan to prison.

So Ji Qingwen suddenly had a seizure and scolded loudly: "Hmph! What a faint official who reverses black and white! As long as I, Ji Qingwen, stand here, how can I allow you to frame Zhongliang? Don't you let Yang Zhan go for me! ”

Xiong Mingyu didn't expect Ji Qingwen to tear his face so quickly, and he was actually a little surprised, and forgot to give an order for a while.

And those sergeants who escorted Yang Zhan did not receive new instructions, so they naturally followed the old order and continued to escort Yang Zhan to Nanjing City.

Ji Qingwen was even more anxious when he saw it, and he didn't care about any decency or indecency, so he said categorically: "The brothers have listened, General Yang is good, there are actually corrupt officials, faint officials, and dog officials who want to frame him, and they won't rescue General Yang for me?" ”

Ji Qingwen's "Ming Wu Army" was recruited, trained, and trained by him, and Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong's old supervisor might give them a little thin face when they came, and if they were replaced by others, they would naturally not be taken into account.

Just listening to Ji Qingwen's order, there were more than 100 bold sergeants in the "Ming Wu Army", strode forward, knocked the Nanjing defenders who escorted Yang Zhan to the ground with three punches and two feet, and then pulled out the sword on his waist, cut off the tendon that bound Yang Zhan, and escorted Yang Zhan to Ji Qingwen's side.

Xiong Mingyu was so frightened by this scene that he suddenly came to his senses, glared and shouted: "Ji Qingwen, your courage is too big!" Dare to rob the imperial court! ”
