Chapter 104: Killing a Million is a Hero
Facing the cold blade on his neck, Mu Zuo felt the hairs on his body stand up, and he didn't know if it was cold or frightened.
For the first time in his life, he was put on the neck with a knife, and he was still in such an embarrassing situation in his own mansion, but Mu Zuo didn't have time to think about this, he just wanted to find out who these people who broke into the yamen at night were.
"Who is she?" A cold voice appeared in the darkness, Mu Zuo trembled, and suddenly found that there was a light in front of him, it turned out to be the person who spoke with a torch in his hand, and was approaching Liu Qingqing, who was trembling beside him.
Only then did Mu Zuo realize that the person who spoke was wearing a flying fish suit, and the two-horned flying fish on it looked hideous and terrifying under the flickering firelight.
"You're Jinyiwei?" Mu Zuo's heart suddenly became calm, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he asked sharply.
"So what?" The corners of the questioner's mouth twitched slightly, with a hint of mockery.
"Since it's Jinyiwei, do you know who this official is? This official is the official of the imperial court, the prefect of Datong. You are so bold and reckless, dare to break into the prefect's yamen at night, believe it or not, this official will let Shen Lian's thief's black gauze hat fall to the ground tomorrow? Makisa said angrily.
For Jinyiwei, he has always been above it, and he doesn't pay attention to Shen Lian of Datong Jinyi Qianhu. On weekdays, he stared at Jinyiwei's mistakes, as long as Jinyiwei had something to cross, he would make a big fuss, making Shen Lian very big, and he would walk around when he saw him.
So as soon as he heard that it was the Jinyi Guard, he immediately regained his composure and put on his official authority, hoping that these Jinyi Guards did not know Mount Tai, so he quickly let himself go, and he really didn't want to be frozen in the cold wind. The charming concubine Liu Qingqing next to her was beaten by herself several times yesterday, and she must be even more tired, how could she be subjected to such cold.
Unexpectedly, when the brocade guard heard that he was Mu Zuo, he smiled, took the torch and approached his face to take a closer look, then turned around and asked, "See clearly?" ”
"Hui Baihu is the prefect of Datong." A man's voice came from the darkness.
"That's right, then this should be the prefect's favorite concubine Liu Qingqing?" The hundred households in brocade clothes glanced at the Liuqing Qingdao next to them.
"You dog thieves, how dare you commit a crime, bring Shen Lian to me, and the official wants to ask him what he wants to do in person?" Mu Zuo looked at the style of this brocade cloth, and probably knew that it was difficult to be good today, so he began to panic in his heart, and he scolded him even more.
"Looking for Shen Qianhu? I'm sorry, but he's going to take someone to arrest your brothel brother-in-law. By the way, I'm afraid you don't know yet, your brother-in-law is the spy leader of the Tartars, and even the delicate little lady next to you is all the way. Jinyi Baihu suddenly put his face to Mu Zuo's ear and said slowly, and after finishing speaking, he deliberately glanced at Liu Qingqing, who was already pale next to him, and didn't know whether he was frozen or frightened.
Mu Zuo's heart sank when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Liu Qingqing, but saw that her face was pale, with a frightened face, and she knew that something was wrong, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
"Lord Shepherd, you should know why we arrested you by now, right? But there's one thing you don't know yet. Your brother-in-law sent someone to the post house to assassinate the Marquis of Wu'an of the Ming Dynasty, and the Marquis of Jiangchuan, the general soldier of southern Liaoning, causing the Hou Ye to be injured. Hou Ye was furious and ordered Jinyiwei to investigate the matter thoroughly and catch all the relevant criminals. You should be clear by now, right? ”
Jinyi Baihu said slowly, the more Mu Zuo listened, the more his heart sank, and after listening, the whole person froze.
Of course he knows who Wu Anhou is, although he has not been in contact with that person, but that person's name is already like thunder, and that person's status in Liaodong is now in full swing.
It's just that he doesn't know why that Wu'an Hou is in Datong City, but he already knows in his heart that this matter must be true.
Only this kind of thing will be worthy of Jinyiwei making such a big move, and having such a big courage to break into the prefect's yamen at night and kill people.
Since ancient times, the greatest sin has been nothing more than treason. He Mu Zuo has already been involved with the word treason at this moment, and it is reasonable for Jinyiwei to dispatch.
Looking at Mu Zuo, who was dejected and silent, the brocade clothes smiled disdainfully, waved his hand and said, "Tie it up and take it away." ”
The captain of his own brocade clothes came up and tied Mu Zuo and Liu Qingqing together, escorted them into the back door, and went to meet Bai Mu.
The torches in the courtyard of the prefect's back office are bright, and the people who have squatted on the ground on the courtyard are all tied with their heads in their hands, trembling all over, and the prefect's family members and cronies are all tied up, and a group of brocade-clothed guards next to them are swordsman, and their indifferent eyes scan back and forth in the crowd, as long as there is dishonest, they will first smash it with a scabbard. No matter how dishonest it is, it is to speak directly with a blade.
Bai Mu stood on the steps, looking at these mournful people with cold eyes, his face expressionless.
It wasn't until the brocade-clothed hundred households surrounding the back door came to Mu Zuo that he said loudly: "Find a few people to identify." ”
Most of these brocade guards were filled by people from the Black Ice Terrace, and it turned out that most of them were transferred from the pro-guard battalion, Bai Mu was their old leader, and Bai Mu was of course obedient to his words.
After finding a few people to check separately, it was confirmed that it was Mu Zuo and Liu Qingqing, and Bai Mu ordered to bring Mu Zuo and his family back to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office, leaving a team of people here to guard other officials, maids, subordinates, etc.
Someone had already found a few prisoner carts, stuffed Mu Zuo and his family into them, and escorted them to the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.
In another small courtyard in the post house, Jiang Chuan sat at the round table and was flipping through the book "The Biography of the Heroes and Martyrs of the Ming Dynasty", and happened to see the Ming Dynasty founding Taizu executing Prime Minister Hu Weiyong for the crime of rebellion, and killing more than 20,000 people before and after, put down the book and sighed: "It seems that if you want to win the world, this heart must be made of iron and stone." Killing people is also to save people, killing one person is a thief, killing a million is a hero, this has been the case since ancient times, and I Jiangchuan is not exempt from vulgarity. ”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Ji Biao, the deputy captain of the guard battalion, came from outside: "Lord, Bai Gongzi is here." ”
Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up, he threw the book on the table casually, and as soon as he got up, the door curtain had been lifted, and a white brocade dressed in a white cloak appeared in front of him with a cold air.
"How?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, Liu Zhong, the leader of the Tartar treachery, has been caught by Shen Lian and has been escorted to the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households."
Bai Jinxiu was concise and to the point, and after talking about the situation, a pair of eyes carefully looked Jiang Chuan up and down several times, and found that there was no injury at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
