Chapter 693: Won't You Look for a Helper?
The change in Bazhou Rongchang was quelled by a group of caravan guards led by Peng Ming, the owner of the Iron Cavalry Club, and Zhu Hanqing drove the Northern Yan caravan out in one go, and then led the army to attack, and a group of Northern Yan soldiers and horses who would commit the crime were defeated, and returned with a big victory for a while, which should have been a big news sensation in Bazhou. However, under the cover of another big news, there are far fewer people talking about this victory on the streets.
Because in the case of many unprepared people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came to Bazhou in a small service!
If it was just a micro-service to arrive in Bazhou, it would be forgotten, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still under the escort of the few Prince Guards and everyone in the Mansion, and followed Liu Jingxuan to the chaotic Bazhou Field, and then directly took off the black gauze hat of the Bazhou Taishou Zhang!
And now the latest news is that the Bazhou Taishou Mansion has been requisitioned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the defenders there are 300 guards personally selected from the Bazhou Army by the prince's left and right guards. That's not all, the notice posted said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally interrogate Bazhou Taishou Zhang Liang for various crimes such as abuse of power in Bazhou during the past six years.
Zhang Lian has been in Bazhou for six years, and his roots are deep, and his forces are naturally intertwined. Knowing that the tree was about to fall, it was not that no one tried to use tricks outside the plate. However, Liu Jingxuan returned from the Yongchang located in the north of the urn city, and then sent the fainting Zhang Lian and the little fat man back to the Taishou Mansion, and led the army to a big cleaning in Bazhou City.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a sweep, but he just immediately caught the principal of a lot of people's houses, and then sent it to the little fat man's Taishou Mansion.
But so many prisoners were sent to the Taishou Mansion by Liu Jingxuan, and for a while, the little fat man was certainly in a hurry, and even Yue Qianqiu and others were also caught off guard. Even Yue Qianqiu was trying his best to find an empty house to close people, and at the same time ensure the efficiency of government affairs, he couldn't help but reflect, did he directly watch Liu Jingxuan kill people at that time, and let it be easier for him to take responsibility?
Of course, he just complained behind his back, complaining that Liu Jingxuanjing gave them problems, but he didn't really regret blocking them at that time. The same is true for the little fat man, on the one hand, he has to face how to smoothly transition the government affairs of the entire Bazhou after Taishou is taken down, on the other hand, he has to think about how to settle Zhang Lian's crying and crying family members, and on the other hand, he has to deal with those prisoners who were sent by Liu Jingxuan.
The most important thing is how to quickly complete the trial of Zhang's case in the shortest possible time, and at the same time submit it to the ...... Or urge the imperial court to send another Bazhou Taishou over! At the same time, he was most afraid that he would be scolded by his father for meddling in the affairs of Bazhou!
At this time, seeing Yue Qianqiu carrying a large number of case files into the room with a cold face, and then putting them on the bookcase that was already full of various files, the little fat man couldn't help but sigh. He hugged his head and lay directly on the desk, moaning in pain: "I didn't have time to finish reading it before, and now that there are so many more, how long will it take me to figure out how many bad things that Zhang Qian has done!" β
Seeing that the little fat man looked crazy to the extreme, Yue Qianqiu sighed angrily, and then said slowly: "Who let you read everything in detail and remember it in your mind?" Won't you look for a helper? β
The little fat man suddenly raised his head and looked at Yue Qianqiu hopefully: "Then you can help me see it?" β
Seeing Yue Qianqiu's eyes clearly revealing the expression of what you are talking about, the only time in his life to try a case is to try the little fat man with Yue Qianqiu about the case of forcing Liang to be a slave with the Feng family, he immediately hung his head in frustration, but then, he finally waited for Yue Qianqiu's long-lost idea.
"Think about it, Bazhou City is so big, there are always readers, right? The matter involves General Liu, and it is not suitable for him to elect people, won't you summon General Zhu Xiao, who has returned from the great victory? First, to commend his victory, and secondly, let him recommend a few well-behaved readers, so that the people of Bazhou will not guess what you have done behind your back, and some of them will reveal your words and deeds. β
The little fat man also knew why Yue Qianqiu didn't participate in person, but chose to leave it out. The person is the prince's left guard rate, not the prince Zhan's affairs, nor the prince's three divisions and three youths, this kind of thing is not suitable for meddler. However, he had to admit that Yue Qianqiu's idea was indeed very reliable, and it was much more efficient than when he looked at the file here and saw madness.
So, he nodded and said, "Then please take a trip...... By the way, Sister Zhou seems to have been out of the past two days? β
Yue Qianqiu was accustomed to Sister Zhou, who was often talking about the little fat man these days, and at this moment he shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and said: "She seems to have some secrets with Xiao Jingxian, even I refuse to say it, and I am determined to find out by myself." β
The little fat man's eyes widened with curiosity. But on the one hand, his sister who had worked hard to protect him, and on the other hand, his maternal uncle, who was suspected of being his in-law, didn't say anything out of place - besides, he provoked Yue Qianqiu in front of him, although he was the prince, he didn't have any good fruit to eat. So, he skipped the stubble and waved his hand with a grin.
"I still want to find you a companion to go with, but now that Sister Zhou is not here, you are the only one who goes. Hurry up, I'm going to be buried in paper if I continue like this! β
Yue Qianqiu originally wanted to find out if the little fat man knew what Xiao Jingxian and Zhou Jiyue were doing, and when he saw that he was puzzled at first, but after pondering, he no longer got entangled, he thought to himself that the little fat man seemed to know nothing, but because of his words, he had doubts, but because of his trust in Zhou Jiyue and Xiao Jingxian, he chose to ignore it.
At the moment, he was no longer verbose, nodded and turned around and went out, originally planning to pick two guards selected from the Bazhou army to accompany him, but after inquiring about the situation of the Zhu family, he still decided to set off alone.
Zhu Hanqing is not like Liu Jingxuan, but he is a general in Bazhou, of course, he will not live in the general's mansion. It has only been a few months since he took office, and he rented a three-entry house in the city, where he and a dozen of his own soldiers lived with him. The Zhu family is famous in northern Xinjiang, and he is unmarried, and there are many local famous families who want to win him over, but they are all closed.
However, even those who were afraid of difficulties in the past couldn't care about any shame in the face of such a big storm that swept the entire Bazhou City now. Since Zhu Hanqing returned two days ago, the door of his house has been blocked. He personally came out and drove him away once, but he didn't say anything, and knelt down, so he simply closed the door.
At this moment, Zhu Hanqing was pacing back and forth in the hall in a distraught manner, but he didn't have any idea for a whileβas for sending someone to report to his old father, it was needless to say, and he did so when he heard the wind after returning to the city. However, even the old father, who had always been successful in battle, was not omnipotent, and it was impossible to reply to him in two or three days.
After all, with Zhu Xiaobei's personality, it is impossible to use a precious carrier pigeon to reply to his son......
Just when Zhu Hanqing was going around the house for the first time, he only heard a sudden commotion from the soldiers outside. Angry from his heart, he rushed to the door in three or two steps, grabbed the door curtain and shouted: "What a noise! β
"General, someone climbed over the wall...... Ouch, the idea is prickly, Lao Li and they can't stop it! β
Zhu Hanqing was stunned. What do those guys who block the door want to do, he doesn't need to ask, except for pleading, he hopes that he, who was born in the door, will come forward to suppress Liu Jingxuan. However, not to mention that he and Liu Jingxuan got along quite happily before, even if it was unpleasant, just because Zhang Lian and some people made the Bazhou Yuchang a miasma, he absolutely hoped that the dog official's head would fall to the ground.
However, if you want to find him, he is so outrageous that he dares to trespass over the wall? This is really too much to take his Zhu Hanqing seriously!
The angry General Zhu walked out of the house angrily, and when he heard the constant shouting outside the courtyard gate, he simply roared with hatred: "Put people in, I want to see who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to provoke the master on my head......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a person break into the courtyard gate under his feet, which seemed a little familiar at first glance. Seeing a few pro-soldiers hulala chasing in, some with righteous indignation on their faces, and some still scolding, he looked at the smiling face again, and finally found out his impression of that person from his memory.
Zhu Hanqing, who gasped, hurriedly gestured to stop the encirclement of those pro-soldiers, completely forgetting that he had just said what was wrong with the master, so he stepped forward quickly, arched his hand and said, "Why is the ninth prince here?" β
I heard that this one is known for being able to climb over the wall in Jinling, but this is in Bazhou!
"Your door is blocked, I thought about running to the door to report my door, and it is estimated that someone will be blocked there, so I can only make this decision." Yue Qianqiu returned the salute with a smile, and then glanced at the pro-soldiers who were looking at each other and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that General Zhu's subordinates are more powerful than the other, and I didn't even find a chance to speak after I climbed over the wall, so I was chased in by them like rabbits!" β
Although Zhu Hanqing said that he didn't believe that his own personal soldiers would be so reckless, but after sweeping a glance and seeing that everyone was bowing their heads, he suddenly realized that just like he had been in the house before, like a trapped beast, his own personal soldiers were only afraid that they would also hold back a fire, so when they saw someone jumping over the wall, they naturally immediately exploded like a cannonball.
The guys who block the door outside can't beat or scold, but of course the guys who break over the wall can beat them up!
So, he could only smile bitterly at Yue Qianqiu, and was about to make amends by softening his body, but he didn't want Yue Qianqiu to shake his head with a smile, not only did he not blame him for the recklessness of these pro-soldiers, but said what he didn't expect.
"But it's good to meet General Zhu, it doesn't matter how the process is. It's rare to have someone to accompany me to do it, so it's purely a martial arts practice. Come with me, summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Well, it's best to bring your own soldiers with you, just lock the gate, and move all of them to the Taishou Mansion with me. No one would dare to go over there to block people! β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Hanqing's pro-soldiers suddenly became happy. They already felt aggrieved in their hearts, and they obviously won the first battle, but no one paid attention to their side, and their little general was surrounded by people because of the pond fish. Now Yue Qianqiu came to summon him on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and asked them to move to the Taishou Mansion together, in their opinion, this is undoubtedly the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Zhu Hanqing knew how difficult Yue Qianqiu was, and he couldn't forget it at all, the first time he met Yue Qianqiu, it was when he was ordered to escort the three princes of Beiyan and his party on the way to Jinling. The eunuch who gritted his teeth with hatred was beaten by Yue Qianqiu's master Yan Xu to cry his father and call his mother, and Yue Qianqiu still dragged him to watch the excitement alive, and only told him his identity in the end.
Therefore, he didn't think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's summons would really be so good.
But even so, the prince's decree has been issued, and it is impossible for Zhu Hanqing to refuse, and he can't find a reason to refuse. He had no choice but to immediately order a group of pro-soldiers to tidy up his things, and he also confessed to Yue Qianqiu first, and then went back to the room. He simply packed up two clothes, then looked around, and finally took off the sword and fastened it around his waist.
When the door of the Zhu family, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened, many people who were guarding the door and tried their luck hurriedly surrounded them, but the first one who came out in front of the head was not Zhu Hanqing, but a young man in brocade clothes that they didn't recognize.
The brocade-clothed young man glanced at everyone casually, but said with a smile: "I am the crown prince Zuowei and the more Qianqiu, if any of you want to make the crime you want to protect add a degree, then you might as well block my way." β
"I'm a person with a heart like a stone, and when I do what I say, when I turn around and my head hits the ground, don't say anything unexpected!"
Facts have proved that Yue Qianqiu's name is not only very effective in Jinling, but also in Bazhou, which is thousands of miles away from Jinling. At least at this moment, Zhu Hanqing, who was following behind Yue Qianqiu, saw that Ma Qi, who was still trying to surround him just now, retreated several steps back. Although it didn't go away, it was much better than he expected.
And Yue Qianqiu puffed out his lips and whistled, when he saw Snow White trotting from the end of the street in front of the door, he couldn't help but be very glad that he got this horse that was in line with his heart through the network of the chief catcher, otherwise it would be troublesome to go back at this time. When the crowd barely made a way, Snow White took advantage of the situation and rushed in front of him, and he rolled over and jumped on horseback.
"Now, I'm going to take General Zhu and these people to Taishou Mansion. Three days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hear the incident in the Taishou Mansion. You have time to waste, you might as well think about how to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see your sincerity. β
Seeing that many people showed expressions of sudden realization, Yue Qianqiu thought to herself that these people who are too good at exploiting loopholes would be mistaken, and he had to add: "I hope no one thinks about wine and wealth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, not those shallow-eyed gentlemen!" Explain the things that should be explained clearly, and don't try to get by. You must know that confession is lenient, and resistance is strict! β
