"Yes, according to Brother Liu's words."

With last night's skin-to-skin kiss, he already has a heart for him, He Jin will not object to Liu Huayun's statement, and quickly gave instructions.

A moment later, Cao Yunzhi brought hundreds of cavalry, a hundred of whom left the team and continued to march towards Shaanxi, while the rest of the people protected her to return to Taiyuan.

Of course, before that, the remains of the Ouchi guard Li Xing and the musket battalion Erlang also had to be solved;

Fortunately, Liu Huayun had a lot of silver tickets, and took out some as pensions, and asked Cao Yunzhi to send someone to send them back to their homeland.

It is said that he returned to Taiyuan overnight, but the war horse set off last night and did not rest until the afternoon, so how could he have the extra strength to run all the time.

Therefore, it was not until noon on the second day that they saw Beige Town, the nearest town to Taiyuan Province, from a distance.

"My lord, I have arranged the manpower according to your orders, as long as that Cao Yunzhi dares to come to Xingshi to ask for the crime, we can kill him and get the talisman......"

In the study room of the Taiyuan Admiral's Mansion, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe was whispering in Zhang Zuoxiang's ear.

"Very good, after the deed is completed, the prince will definitely reward the meritorious deeds......"

Zhang Zuoxiang, who was thin and had a withered face, nodded, and the corners of his mouth were full of indifferent smiles.

Although not long after Cao Yunzhi left the night before, he had martial law Taiyuan City and personally dispatched cavalry to rescue the prince;

But a day and a night have passed, and it will take at least one day for him to catch up with the border of Shaanxi and Jin, and the chance of successfully finding He Jin by then will not exist at all.

As long as he can't save the prince, Zhang Zuoxiang can take the opportunity of reparation and explanation to design the death of Cao Yunzhi, who returned.

has the confidants he has secretly cultivated over the years to be stationed in the army, and the property looted by many colleagues, he can also follow Zhu Jia's example and support the army in Taiyuan Mansion to respect himself;

In addition, King Fu threatened He Jin to kill Shu and capture Hubei, and the three parties echoed each other from afar, and it is possible to replace the imperial court one day in the future.

"Master, it's no good, Lord Cao has brought someone in."

Just when Zhang Zuoxiang was still fluttering and dreaming about yellow sorghum, a family member outside ran in in a panic.

"Panic what, useless things."

"But the old man ......"

Zhang Zuoxiang scolded unhappily, glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and without waiting for the man to finish speaking, he put on an indifferent smile and walked outside.

Just came to the outer courtyard, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

But seeing that the black pressure outside the gate was full of soldiers armed with bows, crossbows, knives and guns, Cao Yunzhi was accompanying the two young men, protected by dozens of men with muskets in their hands, and rushed in with a murderous face.

"Brother Cao, what do you mean by this?"

Facing the young man who should have fallen into the hands of King Fu and could not appear here, Zhang Zuoxiang, who knew that something was wrong, retreated while squeezing out a trace of an ugly smile that was not smiling, and said to Cao Yunzhi.

"Bold rebel, if you don't meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Zuoxiang, you really want to rebel."

Previously, he met Guo Jing and others in Beige Town, and briefly interrogated the Song Hall Master, Zhang Zuoxiang's guilt has been confirmed, and at this moment, in front of He Jin, how could Cao Yunzhi give him a good face again.

"Mr. Nanmen, do it quickly, kill them!"

Although he didn't understand how the prince got out of danger, Zhang Zuoxiang knew that whether he resisted or not, he would not be able to escape the big crime of being robbed of his house today.

As soon as his words fell, more than 100 strong men hidden in the shadows appeared one after another and shot at He Jin with sharp blades.

Bang bang ~~~, what responded to them was the smoke-smoking musket in the hands of Lu Feng and others, and after a round of gunshots, more than 30 people who rushed in front of them fell to the ground screaming directly.

The rest of the people and the middle-aged scribe who had revived the south gate retreated one after another in fright, their eyes full of horror.

This was the first large-scale killing of the musket battalion, and the deterrent effect was far greater than the practical effect.

After all, anyone with a bit of martial arts skills can wield a sword and shoot an arrow feather carving feather, while they have never seen a musket before, and they don't know how to dodge it at all.

"Those who take the initiative to surrender to sincerity still have a glimmer of life, and those who are stubborn and ineffective will be killed directly!"

Liu Huayun has never been a soft-hearted person, he saw that the Admiral's Mansion had set up an ambush in advance, and he suddenly smiled coldly and commanded.

Fight, kill~~~

Although these people were shocked, they were also loyal to Zhang Zuoxiang, and after hesitating for a moment, they rushed to kill again at the instigation of Mr. Nanmen.

Bang bang bang ~~~

After dozens of gunshots rang out, only about 30 of the killers in ambush in the Admiral's Mansion rushed in front of Lu Feng and Guo Jing.

With Liu Huayun's wave, when the musket battalion was loaded, Zheng Xunchang and more than a dozen internal guards came out of the crowd and fought with them with swords.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Mr. Nanmen took the opportunity to escape into the inner house.

It's just that the entire outside of the Admiral's Mansion is surrounded by the large legions of the city defense battalion, and these turtles in the urn will inevitably be captured alive sooner or later.

"Zheng Guard, you stand down!"

Seeing that Lu Feng and the others had reloaded their ammunition, Liu Huayun coldly commanded, Zheng Xunchang and the others would not be disobedient, and hurriedly withdrew and retreated.

Puff puff~~~

In the collision of muskets, blood flew and the remaining dead men who were used as chariots with mantis arms were soon killed and wounded, and they fled to the inner courtyard in fright.

The soldiers of the city defense battalion, Zheng Xunchang and other internal guards, as well as dozens of musket battalions who were reloaded, rushed in; In an instant, chickens and dogs jumped in the inner house of the Admiral's Palace, and the cries of women and children were endless.

In the end, including Mr. Nanmen, who was shot in both legs, Zhang Zuoxiang's wife and children, and sixty or seventy people from the Governor's Mansion, all became prisoners and were locked up in a separate courtyard.

"Tell me, the reason why you killed Xi Duzhi, there are a few officials involved in Shanxi, where are all your stolen money hidden?"

In the hall of the Admiral's Mansion, which was temporarily transformed into a torture hall, he glanced at Zhang Zuoxiang, who was tied with ropes below, and Liu Huayun asked in a cold voice.

He just searched his house and only found gold and silver jewelry worth less than 30,000 taels, which was definitely not his real family property.

"Master Horse, His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if I'm telling the truth, can you open the net and let my wife and children go......

Since Liu Huayun mentioned Xi Duzhi, it means that he colluded with King Fu to embezzle the tax and silver of the Jin merchants, plus the major crime of kidnapping the prince and attempting to rebel;

Zhang Zuoxiang knew that not only would he definitely die, but even the whole family would be beheaded.

Therefore, he smiled miserably and looked at the two above with a pleading face.

"Yes, but it depends on how many of your comrades you can confess and how much stolen money you hand over......

In this way, one state official plus 200,000 taels of silver can be exchanged for one of your close relatives who is not guilty, and if there is no five-rank state official, three seven-rank county orders can also be ......"

If it weren't for Liu Huayun trying to find a way to escape from Qin Surou, Yin Chuanling, and Zou Tai, then it should be them who knelt at the feet of King He Xian.

Zhang Zuoxiang's family may have those who did not report it, but most of the women and children should be innocent, and it is not impossible to let them go;

However, Liu Huayun is a profiteer, how can it be possible if he doesn't maximize his benefits, when He Jin looked at him, he said in a cold voice.
