Chapter 712: The Emperor's Seal
No matter how strong the Four Seas Gang is, after all, it can't compare to the heavily armed soldiers, just when Long Sihai and they were captured, there was also a fire fight at the headquarters of the Four Seas Gang, in addition to conventional weapons, the military even used incendiary bombs, earth-shaking thunder and other firearms, so when Zhang You and they arrived, everything had already settled, only the smell of gunpowder in the air, and the corpses between the broken walls and ruins were telling people about the tragedy of the war.
At that time, it was already dusk, and the soldiers used yellow*-colored cloth strips to pull out a long separation belt, and the black pressure at the entrance of the headquarters was kneeling with the captured Sihai Gang, and the outside was full of ordinary people watching the excitement.
When they saw Zhang You and Long Sihai arrive, the crowd let out a shocking cheer, and the hearts of the captives on both sides completely sank.
The Tongzhi of Songjiang Mansion, who originally brought the messenger to negotiate with Qi Zuoguo and Zhao Yongjie, hurriedly greeted him, only hugged his fist to Zhang You, and asked with a cold face: "My lord brought troops to Songjiang to kill people, can there be a military department to investigate?" ”
"I don't know who you are?" Zhang You did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Xiaguan Ji Lian, Songjiang Mansion is the same as Zhi." The green-robed official said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Taicang Ji Rong is ......?"
"It's Jia Yan!"
"No wonder you are so bold, it seems that the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, I knew that today, I shouldn't have spared Ji Benchang's bastard in the first place." Zhang You said coldly.
Ji Lian's face was pale, Ji Benchang was his son: "The governor is useless, he will lead the troops to strangle the civilians without the investigation of the military department, this move is no different from rebellion, the lower officials are not talented, they must be impeached, and the governor will wait!" So saying, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.
"My lord......" Qi Zuoguo and Zhao Yongjie stepped forward, with worried expressions on their faces.
"The tiger is not powerful, it is really the commander of Lao Tzu's brocade guard, Sun Zheng started to tie up Ji Lian for Lao Tzu!" Looking at Ji Lian's back not far away, Zhang You commanded in a cold voice.
Ji Lian turned around when he heard this, and his face changed greatly: "You dare?" I know the same thing, and I haven't made a mistake, why should I be arrested? ”
During the questioning, Sun Zheng and the others had already pounced, and Ji Lian resisted desperately, but unfortunately he was just a scholar who was powerless, and he was soon tied up by Wuhuada.
"Quite simply, the official suspects you of having an affair with these traitors...... Take it down and interrogate it severely! Zhang You walked up to Ji Lian, took off the black gauze hat on his head, and then lowered his voice to Ji Lian's ear: "When I don't know what happened to the bursting of Dongting Lake?" Since you insist on going up, then Lao Tzu will fulfill your wishes, I want to see who can protect you! ”
Ji Lian's face turned white, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans suddenly appeared on his forehead, he finally understood Zhang You's purpose, it turned out that it was not to take advantage of Xu Jie's and Xu Bin's absence to cut off the arm of the Four Seas Gang, but to point the sword at the key point, and to cause Xu Ge to die.
"How do you know about such a secret thing?" He asked, puzzled.
Zhang You was slightly stunned: "You don't care about this." Secretly, I understood that the Four Seas Gang must be afraid of causing trouble, and they didn't pay attention to the fact that they were chased and killed by no travelers after blowing up the lake embankment.
This is even more perfect, originally the time was pressing, and he had to get the conclusive evidence before Xu Jie knew, but now, he should have more time left for himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang You ordered someone to take Ji Lian down, and told Qi Zuoguo and Zhao Yongjie to speed up and clean up the property in the headquarters of the Four Seas Gang, and then leave Sun Zheng and Qian Qi behind, and then take people away.
Zhang You did not go back to Hangzhou directly, but changed into a python robe and entered the Youlan Pavilion.
"My lord, why are you here?" Seeing Zhang You, Su Mucheng was startled.
Zhang You smiled: "What, you're not welcome?" ”
"How dare the slave family, it's just that there is such a big thing happening outside, and the slave family didn't expect the adults to come over...... The adults haven't eaten yet, I'll have someone make some for you. ”
Zhang You was really hungry, so he didn't stop it, and after Su Mucheng called someone in and gave instructions, he said, "I'll lie down with you for a while, and then my aunt will come to look for me, and bring it directly after I arrive." ”
Su Mucheng promised to leave, but didn't dare to ask more.
In the middle of the night, Li Yan and Chen Shi, who did not stay behind, finally arrived, Zhang You fell asleep, and when he saw them entering the door, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you succeeded?" ”
"What do you say?" Li Yan smiled, took out an account book from his arms and threw it to Zhang You, Zhang You hurriedly opened it and looked through it, but saw that there were detailed accounts recorded on it, which should be Wu Hui's account book that was snatched away, so he said: "Sure enough, the account book is really in Lao Xu's hands...... Is it going well, has anyone found out? ”
"You tossed outside the Xu Mansion, and all the guards of the Xu family were attracted to the front, and when we arrived at the Cunzhai Pavilion, it was almost a no-man's land, just a little trouble when looking for the account book, speaking of which, Chen Shi can be regarded as a great achievement, that is, the secret room he found, and the box where the account book was stored was also opened by him, not only the account book, but also this ......" Buliu Xingke spoke, took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang You: "It is the one I was snatched away by Wuyazi, and the old thing really took refuge in Lao Xu." ”
Zhang You was overjoyed, took the seal and looked at it carefully, and said without leaving a traveler next to him: "You have a good brain, see if this seal is really related to Wang Zhi's treasure......"
"This seal must have nothing to do with Wang Zhi's treasure," Zhang You interrupted the traveler, and then without waiting for him to be disappointed, he immediately said: "Because this seal itself is a priceless treasure, see these seal characters, if I am not mistaken, it should be engraved with the words 'Emperor Jade Seal', now Japan is the period of princes competing for hegemony, as long as there is this seal, just find a prince to support, and soon you can pacify Japan!" ”
"It's so powerful, it's just that the jade seal of the Japanese emperor can use seal characters?" Chen Shi asked puzzledly beside him.
"Because Japan used to be a vassal state of our China, Emperor Guang of the Han Dynasty gave Japan the seal of the king of the Han Dynasty, and later they felt that the word "Japanese" was not good, and repeatedly asked to change the name, until the Tang Dynasty, once Wu Zetian was drunk, and the Japanese envoy came to visit, so he gave the name Japan, and at the same time gave this seal, and then this seal became a symbol of the Japanese emperor. As for how it ended up in Wang Zhi's hands, it is unknown, it is estimated that which daimyo was given to him after getting it, don't forget, he was the emblem king of Japan at that time. ”
Zhang You guessed, put away the seal as he spoke, and kept talking: "Lao Xu, you can be regarded as having made a great contribution this time, and when you look back, you have to ask for a thousand households or something." ”
The traveler did not wear a mask, and pouted: "Lao Tzu is not rare to be an official, it is not as affordable as silver...... It seems that you are going to fight Japan's idea, don't forget me when you really send someone to the past, anyway, Huaxia is tired of staying, just go to see and see. ”
Zhang You nodded with a smile, and suddenly found that Li Yan was smiling and silent, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Auntie, what are you laughing at?" You can't get any other treasures from the secret room, do you? ”
