Chapter 52 Rush to the barracks

Regardless of whether there is any doubt about this, at least in Zhu Xuan's opinion, the problem is already clear, it is the scum of Wang Ningxian, Li Xing, Qiu Yang and other county officials who have joined forces with the greedy people in the guards, who have created such a disaster that damages the defense of Guancheng, and they have killed many people in a frenzy, and even their own court officials want to assassinate them.

Naturally, such an act must be brought to justice, so as soon as he gave the order, the servants rushed forward, and bound up the officials who had finally taken all the blame for their crimes because they could not bear the pain, and took them to the prison so that they could guard themselves.

It was only at this time that Zhu Xuan got up and walked up to Yang Chen with emotion and relief, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This time, you can capture Wang Ningxian and his thieves so smoothly, Yang Dianshi, you should take the first credit." If you hadn't noticed the clues in the early morning, I'm afraid they would still be at large. If you hadn't warned the officials in time, even I, the county magistrate, would have died in their hands. As he spoke, he solemnly bowed his hand to him and thanked him.

Yang Chen hurriedly clenched his fists and returned the salute: "My lord's words are serious, and the lower officials are just doing their duty." By the way, this thing can be done, thanks to Ding Qian, who came to help, and these ...... People with lofty ideals. As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to Zhengde and his party who were about to leave quietly.

After watching today's big show, Zhengde still felt quite enjoyable. However, seeing that the matter was over, he started to leave earlier, but as soon as he withdrew, he was broken by Yang Chen, which made him feel quite embarrassed, so he could only stand still again and smile unnaturally.

"They are ......" Zhu Xuan carefully looked at the people in front of him, especially this man who looked at him in his thirties but still had the intention of flying away, which was even more attention-grabbing.

"One of the assassins who assassinated the Lord before fled into their residence and was taken by several of them." Yang Chen would not tell the story of Ding Yueqian and the others who had done something with the emperor's guards, and then added: "And this Zhu Gongzi is the person that Xia Guan mentioned to the Lord before, and Lord Yang has been looking for." ”

Zhu Xuan just wanted to praise the other party for a few words, and planned to ask someone to fetch some silver to reward them, but the latter sentence made him stay in place, his mouth opened instantly, and his face was surprised: "You...... You are actually ......" He was really frightened, after all, a Qipin county commander who was far away from the capital suddenly knew that when the son appeared in front of him today, this kind of impact was not something that an idle person could withstand.

Seeing this, Yang Chen hurriedly reminded: "My lord, this Zhu Gongzi has a special identity, let's ask him to go to the back to talk first." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" After his reminder, Zhu Xuan came back to his senses a little, and quickly nodded in response: "Zhu Gongzi, can you go with the lower officials to talk?" "The attitude is extremely respectful.

This made the county officials on the side show a look of surprise, that is, when facing several officials who held the real power of the county government before, Zhu County Ling did not show such sincerity and fear, why did he just raise his eyebrows now, but he became so groveling? The Zhu Gongzi in front of him doesn't look very special, can it be said that he is a relative of the emperor?

Unexpectedly, Zhengde shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary......"

"Zhu Gongzi, you also know the situation in the Bitou Pass now, and I hope you put your own safety first, listen to our advice." Yang Chen saw that he had the intention of leaving, for fear that the other party would not listen to persuasion, so he hurriedly spoke again. It's just because it's hard to say because of his identity, so it sounds a little clueless.

"My safety is important, but compared to this, it is more important. I think that what you should do at this time is to quickly take down all the relevant people who embezzled the funds of Guanzhong and caused problems in Guancheng. Zhengde said solemnly: "It's not to grind mushrooms here with me, saying that you are not in danger." ”

After Yang Chen heard this, he was also stunned. Who said that today is just a naughty boy who doesn't know anything, now this is very reasonable, indeed this matter should be struck while the iron is hot, and it should be dealt with quickly. So he also took the opportunity to look at Zhu Xuan: "Lord County, shouldn't we go to the military camp in the north of the city and report the relevant truth to Mr. Lei Qian, so that he can make plans early?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "What you said is that this matter is indeed urgent." Someone should copy a copy of the relevant confession, and then ask the relevant criminal officer to sign and draw it on it. ”

The scribe on the side hurriedly agreed, and quickly moved the pen. After a while, a clear confession was copied, and then it was sent to prison for Li Xing and others to draw and detain. Taking this opportunity, Yang Chen looked at Zhengde: "Master Zhu, where are you going next?" In my opinion, it is better to hurry south and return to Beijing. ”

"Well, I think that since I'm in this partial pass, and it's just the right time, I'll have to wait for the result before leaving, right?" Zhengde's eyes rolled, but he had his own opinions.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven had made up his mind, Yang Chen and Zhu Xuan, the two little courtiers, naturally did not dare to persuade hard, so they had to agree. However, Yang Chen already had a plan in his heart, and when he went back, he asked people to rush to Datong to report the news, and now only a minister of Yang Yiqing's weight could persuade the Son of Heaven to leave quickly. And before that, all he had to do was to ensure the safety of the emperor.

At this moment, Zhengde suddenly said: "By the way, since you want to keep me here, then it is better to let me go to the barracks to get people later." These people under my command have some skills, and may be able to help you in this matter. And I've been here twice, but I haven't been to the barracks yet. ”

"Ah......" Zhu Xuan changed color again when he heard this: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, it's hard to say what the situation is there, if there is any mutiny......

"How can there be so many whatevers? I believe that my Ming army is still loyal to the imperial court, how can they mess up because of some petty people? That's it. Zhengde didn't give them a chance to continue to oppose at all, and his face stiffened as he spoke.

No matter how unconcerned the emperor is, he is also the emperor, and since he has made up his mind, that is, the holy decree, how can the two courtiers Yang Chen and Zhu Xuan oppose it? So they agreed after a little difficulty. Seeing their difficult appearance, Zhu Houzhao showed a smug smile - just looking at the battle of words in the county government just now, you can know that this matter is not so easy to handle, so when you go to the barracks, maybe it will be a lively again. And he is the one who likes to be lively the most.

Yang Chen and the others didn't know that Zhengde actually had such a thought, although they felt that it was a bit risky to let him go to the barracks to get people together, but because they could keep the emperor now, they felt at ease for a while, as long as he stopped running around, and then let Lord Yang Yiqing quickly send someone to persuade him to return to the capital, then the burden on them would be lifted.

As for the barracks, presumably with those confessions, everything is no longer a problem, right? After all, Mr. Qian's thunder has always been quite upright, and it is impossible for those guys who are not greedy enough and have done all the bad things to do things that turn black and white upside down.

After a while, his servants returned with a signed confession. Therefore, they did not delay any longer, and hurried out of the yamen and went straight to the military camp in Beicheng.

It's just that this time the team is a little strange, our county lord did not sit in a sedan chair, but seemed to be riding a horse quite reluctantly. It's not because he was anxious to solve the matter that he chose to ride a horse, but because Zhengde insisted on riding a horse, and Zhu Xuan, who was a minister, was naturally not good at sitting in a sedan chair.

As a result, there was an eye-catching scene on the street of Biguan County today, the dignified county magistrate actually rode awkwardly on a horse, leading people to rush forward, and from time to time, he had to look nervous, hurriedly tossing and turning, so as not to fall off the horse, but in this way, in the eyes of others, it looked more and more embarrassed.

Fortunately, this remote county is not big, and it is only a few miles away from the middle of the county seat to the Beicheng military camp, and soon this group of people came to the outside of the barracks, which made Zhu Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, and after pulling the reins and letting the horse stop, he rolled off the saddle in a hurry. It's just that after landing on the ground, my legs are already a little trembling, and I almost can't stand on my feet. Fortunately, Yang Chen helped him at this time, so that he did not lose his embarrassment in front of everyone.

After smiling at the other party and thinking that he was grateful, Zhu Xuan straightened his clothes, took out his name thorn, and asked a messenger to hand it to the sergeant guarding the door.

For the sudden arrival of the county order, the sergeant guarding the door obviously felt a little surprised. You must know that officialdom has always paid attention to the fact that a king does not see a king, no matter how small a place is, once there are two administrative officials of equal status, they will avoid seeing each other. Moreover, with the current situation of the Chinese Guiwu Light Dynasty, even if there is anything, Zhu Xuan, as the county commander, should not run in person, but send a subordinate to pass the word.

However, this kind of matter between adults is not something that a small gatekeeper can ask about, so after receiving the famous assassin and knowing Zhu County's intention to see Lei Qianzong, the doorkeeper hurriedly turned around and walked inside and rushed to report the news.

At the same time, the situation outside was quickly brought into the barracks and fell into the ears of some well-intentioned people.

He ...... Are you still alive? And it came over so soon? Could it be that they were caught and let him find out that it was related to us? Several military attachΓ©s quickly gathered together and spoke worriedly, not knowing for a moment how to deal with the current situation.

At this time, Lei Ming, who was in the tent of the Chinese army, had already taken over this famous thorn, and said without much hesitation: "Since it is Zhu County's order, we naturally can't be rude, and we will go out to meet him!" ”
