Wang Yu looked at these generals in the big tent sitting one by one without saying a word, that is, Zheng Xianggong in front of him was also closing his eyes and recuperating, he was really confused in his heart, but he was also good to ask, just looking back and forth, just thinking that this Zheng Xianggong was also bored, and sat in a daze with the generals in the army.

There were also a few braziers in the big tent, and the charcoal in the pot was burned red, and there was a little light smoke flying, and the inside of the big tent was naturally much warmer than outside.

Just when Wang Yu was thinking nonsense in his heart, a man entered the big tent, bowed slightly, and went straight to Zheng Zhi's side, only whispering something in Zheng Zhi's ear.

Looking at Zheng Zhi again, he already had an eyebrow, his eyes were bright, he stood up and said: "The forbidden army of the Daimyo's Mansion has mutinied, and you all have all the men and horses to follow me into the city to suppress it." ”

All the people stood up and replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

Immediately, the drums sounded, and the three thousand iron horsemen and the more than 4,000 foot soldiers under Wang Yu were all assembled, Zheng Zhi rubbed his frozen hands, looked at the soldiers gathered in a row, and went to the city on horseback.

The gate of the city was opened again, Yan Qing stood under the city and waited for a long time, the soldier who went to report to Zheng Zhi just now was also sent by Yan Qing.

Zheng Zhi hit the horse and glanced at Yan Qing on the side of the road, Yan Qing nodded to Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi didn't say much, urged the horses slightly, and walked forward briskly.

Wang Yu followed Zheng Zhi around, but there were more and more doubts in his heart, but these doubts could only be buried in his heart, and he couldn't open his mouth to ask, and he knew that he couldn't talk about it at will.

The short blade of the ox pierced into the chest of a woman, and blood gushed from the woman's nose, and the cow did not look at the bowel movement, but turned back and went out of the chamber, and his eyes signaled to a man in front of him.

After this man saw Niu Da's eyes, he said in a daimyo's house: "Liang Shijie is greedy for military salaries, and he doesn't treat us and other military men as human beings, the cold winter is cold, and he persecuted us to a desperate road, and I don't blame us for being ruthless today." Brothers, follow me to the treasury of the yamen to get money and grain. ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, dozens of men who rushed in took advantage of the night to go straight out of the inner courtyard, and instantly mingled among the more than 400 famous soldiers outside the door.

Then these soldiers began to go to the outside again.

Only the family members looked at each other, the two corpses were already dead, and the official who started to report the news was still standing beside Liang Shijie and was stunned, and everything that happened in front of him was like an illusion.

A good person from the Sanpin Middle School and the Daimyo's Mansion stayed behind, but he was stabbed to death on the spot, and the murderer was only for a bite of food and a thick coat. It's really a bit unbelievable, in the past one or two hundred years in the Daimyo Mansion, how could such a thing have happened.

Thousands of healthy horses, countless footsteps, and the sound of iron armor have already awakened this daimyo's mansion from the silent night. Both sides of the street are filled with freshly lit waiting.

In the gap between the window and the door, there were puzzled eyes looking into the street, and countless knights on the street walked briskly towards the center of the city with neat steps.

I even heard someone shouting: "All the people should close their doors and windows and not go out, the forbidden army of the Daimyo Mansion mutinied and rebelled, and those who took in the anti-thieves were guilty of the same crime as the anti-thieves." ”

The shouts were repeated over and over again, from far to near, and then slowly away, and although there were differences in the accents of the words, everyone could hear them clearly. Where have ordinary people seen this kind of thing, they hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and even moved heavy furniture to block the doors and windows, for fear that there would be thieves who broke into the house and committed murder in this dark night.

In a moment, the entire government was surrounded by these iron armors.

The soldiers of hundreds of famous mansions have just come out of the yamen, and under the moonlight in front of them, there are countless torches and countless iron armor.

"All the anti-thieves quickly put down their weapons, kneel and surrender, Zheng Xianggong said, only the first evil will be eliminated, and those who are coerced will not die!" A few soldiers who beat horses patrolled back and forth, shouting incessantly.

Dozens of soldiers who came out in front of their heads hurriedly threw the bright blades in their hands on the ground, knelt on the ground and raised their hands to wait.

In front of the head, the iron armor stepped forward to tie up, and the rest of the Daimyo's soldiers looked puzzled, but they also knew that they had a big deal, although the reason was unknown, so they had to quickly kneel on the ground, and the sharp blades in the hands of these iron armor soldiers in front of them were not a joke.

"Wronged... Zheng Xianggong... I'm wronged... ”

"Zheng Xianggong... The little ones really don't know what's going on.,It's just that they're being coerced.,The little ones are wronged.。。。 ”

Obviously, there are also people who understand that something is wrong, that is, the anti-thief, and everyone also feels that they have been wronged, so naturally some people speak out to defend themselves.

Zheng Zhitie's face was blue, he didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal the military man beside him.

A moment later, an iron armor came forward with a horsewhip, and whoever spoke, was a leather whip. There are also people who shouted: "All are silent, not allowed to speak, whether they are wronged or not, the public will know what is going on." ”

Punching, kicking, shouting and scolding, countless iron armor came forward with ropes in their hands and tied them one by one, and after tying them, they took these people out of the city. The cow was also bound in it, and was carried by several people to the camp outside the city by the moonlight.

Zheng Zhi dismounted and took dozens of soldiers to the yamen.

The pro-soldiers beside him also shouted: "Everyone came out, Zheng Xianggong is here with the troops, and the anti-thieves have been controlled." ”

When a servant heard this, he rushed over from the head, knelt in front of Zheng Zhi, and cried in his mouth: "Zheng Xianggong, Liang Zhongshu was killed by the thief, and Mrs. Cai is also dead, Zheng Xianggong must avenge Liang Zhongshu." ”

Zheng Zhi was surprised when he heard this, and said, "What? Liang Zhongshu is dead? How can this be reasonable, if you kill officials and rebel, how can you let them go, come here, quickly and thoroughly investigate this matter, see who takes the lead, and correct the law on the spot. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, Zheng Xianggong, the little one knows who took the lead, the villain has seen the man, and the man also killed Yao Zhutou."

Zheng Zhi said sharply when he heard this: "Someone is coming, quickly take him to the camp outside the city, gather all the anti-thieves, let him identify, as long as he recognizes the thief leader, he will immediately correct the law." ”

At this time, an official also came up tremblingly from the side, and spoke: "Zheng Xianggong, the lower official is Liu Shen, the official of the left hall of the Daimyo Mansion, this matter... This matter is really important, and it is difficult for Tokyo Taishi Cai to explain, so I ask Zheng Xianggong to be impartial and clear. ”

Zheng Zhi looked at this person for a while, and only said: "You will go outside the city with him and help his people to lead the thieves." ”

"Thank you Zheng Xianggong, the officials are grateful."

This is called Liu Shen's pusher, not a petty official, and there are also six grades. The reason why Liu Shen is particularly concerned at this time is that he wants to keep his political future, and he also has thoughts in his heart, if this matter is done well, not only will he not be blamed by Cai Jing, but he can even ask Cai Jing for some credit.

Zheng Zhi nodded and said, "Take me to see Liang Zhongshu first, the evil of anti-thieves is outrageous." ”

The magistrate Liu Shen and the official were already preparing to go out of the city to identify the murderer, but at this time, they hurriedly stepped forward and took Zheng Zhi to see Liang Shijie, who was still lying in a pool of blood.

Hundreds of mutinous "rebels" have been tied up to the camp outside the city, and one hundred and ten of them suddenly turned into iron armor, and after riding horses, they became iron cavalry under Zheng Zhi, but these cavalry have been arranged in the corner of the camp.

There was also a man from the Daimyo's Mansion who was tied up with a rope, dressed in a woollen coat, and sat on a healthy horse and secretly came out of the gap in the camp, and ran for more than a mile, waiting for seven or eight horsemen on the side of the road. After the convergence, this group of people braved the cold wind and went straight to Cangzhou.

When Zheng Zhi returned to the camp, all the "rebels" were gathered on the school grounds, the lights were bright on the left and right, and the rebels were tied to the ground.

Zheng Zhi got on the stage and said, "Take the torch and go to identify it." ”

When the magistrate Liu Shen and the official heard this, they took the two torches and went to the crowd, and several ironclad soldiers on the left and right were sharpening their blades on the side, waiting to recognize the thief and correct the law on the spot.

The two of them took torches to identify them one by one in the crowd, and there was also an ironclad soldier next to them who shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to speak, no one is allowed to hide, look up and face the light, but those who evade the identification will be regarded as the head of the thief and correct the law on the spot." ”

When these old and weak soldiers on the ground heard this, they hurriedly raised their heads and did so, where would they avoid identification, they just wanted people to recognize it clearly, and they must not admit their mistakes.

After seeing the faces of this servant one after another, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, and the more he looked at it, the more dazzled he became, that is, he couldn't see the murderer he recognized in front of his head, but after seeing too many faces, his previous memories felt a little blurry.

Zheng Zhi was not in a hurry, he just waited on the platform, and there was a pot of coals under the seat for heating.

After more than 400 people looked at it one by one, Liu Shen took the officials to the general's platform.

The official reported with a look of chagrin: "Zheng Xianggong... The small one failed to recognize the thief leader. In the dark night in front of his head, there was only a little moonlight, and he did not see it very clearly, and forgave his sins. ”

Zheng Zhi was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Waste things, what do you want you to do, as a messenger, even the perpetrator can be recognized, and if you can't recognize it, you must catch the thief tonight, otherwise how can you explain to Tokyo, the official family and Taishi Cai are to blame, which of you can bear the blame?" If the official family and Taishi Cai blame You, the first one to ask you is to cut off your dog's head and go to Tokyo to ask for guilt. ”

When the official heard this, he was immediately frightened and trembling, bowed his head again and again, and replied incoherently: "Zheng... Zheng Xianggong... The small ones are recognized, and the ones are recognized... ”

At this time, Luda, who was not far away, walked up to the head and said: "Tell the minister, when I entered the city to quell the rebellion, I also killed a few traitors, do you want to carry the corpses up and identify them." ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he nodded and said, "Bring it over!" ”

Several corpses were lifted in front of the head and laid out one by one on top of the mound of earth.

Zheng Zhi shouted: "Don't go and identify it yet!" If you can't recognize the thief tonight, teach you to look good! ”

The official trembled with fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to identify it, and the torches repeatedly checked the faces of several people. The more I looked at it, the more confused I became, obviously these people were not the leaders of the thieves, but they looked a little similar.

The official secretly glanced at Zheng Zhi, and saw that Zheng Zhi was angry, but he didn't dare to turn back and tell him, so he had to look at it repeatedly.
