Chapter 242: Dong Qichang and Zhang Pu intercede
Chen Mingxia is worthy of being a young man, his eyes are very thief, as soon as he saw someone from Dongchang coming, he took advantage of the chaos outside and ran out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Running out with him was Wen Juren, a staff member of Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian.
The two of them, one old and one young, took a shortcut and ran to the governor's yamen.
Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian, was sulking in the inner hall of the governor's yamen at this time, except for the four bigwigs who were in charge of Nanjing's defense and military power, the entire Jiangnan was almost his world, even the governor of the imperial history was obedient to him because he was the same age and had a cowardly personality, and the officials of the yamen of other state capitals naturally looked at him.
And he Wang Wenkui has a very close relationship with the Jiangnan gentry Dong Qichang, Wang Siren, Zhang Pu, Qi Biaojia, etc., so he also got the support of the Jiangnan gentry, so in this conspiracy to force His Majesty to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, he was able to mobilize most of the Jiangnan officials to follow his own will.
Wang Wenkui also has some arrogance because of this, I thought that when I came to the Lishui Pavilion to talk with Dong Qichang and other Jiangnan gentry and a cadre of literati, I took the opportunity to get close to the long-coveted Min'er girl, this woman who was once the daughter of the first assistant family of the cabinet had a fatal temptation to him Wang Wenkui, he Wang Wenkui felt that he should be able to hold the beauty with his power as the governor of the sky, who expected to kill a trip to bite the gold, a eunuch actually entered Wei Min'er's boudoir, and Wei Min'er ignored himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Wenkui was unconvinced, and he lost his mind for a while, so after seeing Zhu Youxiao and others killing, he brazenly ordered the soldiers of the governor's yamen to arrest him, and he didn't think much about what Wei Zhongxian was, after all, in his opinion, Wei Zhongxian is indeed not as good as he was at the beginning, as long as he clearly said that he didn't take the initiative to provoke it, Wei Zhongxian would not really tear his face with himself, and he would not really blindly favor Wei Zhongxian today.
"Wei Min'er, the official still doesn't believe that he can't accept you", Wang Wenkui muttered to himself a little harshly, and was about to get up and prepare to find a handsome maid to go to the fire, but saw his servant come in to play a report, and Wenju and Chen Xianggong came to visit.
Wang Wenkui was slightly surprised, it stands to reason that these two people should be in the Lishui Pavilion now, why did they come back so early, could it be that they had already arrested the murderer?
"Let them wait in the front hall, this official will come", Wang Wenkui ordered, straightened his black gauze hat, and walked towards the front hall.
As soon as Wang Wenkui arrived, Wenju first cried and said anxiously to Wang Wenkui: "Master, the big thing is not good, the origin of the murderous guy is not simple, there are Dongchang and officers and soldiers to relieve the siege, and looking at the posture, these officers and soldiers don't seem to be simple, maybe they are the Praetorian Guards." ”
"Yes, teacher, they killed people as soon as they broke in, and they didn't show mercy, fortunately the students ran fast, otherwise they would have been dead souls under the knife, and the students heard that the person seemed to be a pavilion elder", Chen Mingxia also hurriedly talked about the strength of those officers and soldiers and the people of Dongchang.
Wang Wenkui pondered in surprise, as the governor of a province, he was not very afraid of Dongchang, not to mention that after hearing Chen Mingxia's words, he became more and more suspicious, and asked: "Wait a minute, you just mentioned the elder of the pavilion, what elder of the pavilion?" ”
"When the students ran out, they occasionally heard that it was because the person we wanted to arrest was a senior pavilion, yes, it was called Li Gelao, and those soldiers said that they couldn't let the people inside hurt Li Gelao, otherwise they would also be a capital crime!"
Chen Mingxia said this, which made Wang Wenkui more and more unbelievable, and slapped the table: "What kind of pavilion elder, this Mannan 0 capital is just a Li Ge elder who followed His Majesty on the southern tour, this official has not seen it, where has a Li Ge old man appeared, I am afraid that these chaotic party thieves pretend to deceive people, these years the White Lotus Sect and other cults are used to pretending to be officers and soldiers to kill people everywhere and set fires, according to this official, this is only afraid that it is another chaotic party trouble." ”
As he spoke, Wang Wenkui ordered Wen Juren to immediately go and order all the pacesetters of the governor, and the current leader of the Wennan 0 Beijing garrison, that is, Liu Kongzhao, the right mansion of the book, led 3,000 people to help.
Suddenly, there were 5,000 soldiers and horses marching towards the banks of the Qinhuai River.
It was the first time that the men and women on the banks of the Qinhuai River had seen so many soldiers bravely entering, and one came and the other came, and the scale of the number was getting bigger and bigger each time.
No one dared to murmur anymore, closed the door, leaned on the window and watched curiously what was happening outside.
At this time, the scene was slightly embarrassing.
More than 100 Dongchang fans occupied almost the entire second floor, and they all drew their knives and looked around murderously.
The infantry battalion of the Praetorian Guard kept holding firearms and was divided into two teams, one team facing the literati in the cabinet, including Dong Qichang and Zhang Pu, and the other team facing the outside, especially the left and right wings.
Zhu Youzhen led the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard to patrol the periphery, holding bloody scimitars one by one, and they were not included in the scabbards, and these cavalrymen, who had become accustomed to slaughter, did not seem to satisfy their killing instincts after killing hundreds of soldiers of the governor's yamen.
"Elder Li Ge, there are many misunderstandings here, and the old man doesn't know that you are here, so he is a little reckless, and please ignore the villain."
Dong Qichang was also a little scared when he saw this posture, after all, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground now, and he was already a literati who was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he was afraid that this Li Ge Lao in front of him would really kill because he was the emperor's favored minister.
But Wei Min'er couldn't help but laugh faintly at this time, she had seen this kind of scene, so she didn't feel afraid, she felt that His Majesty the Emperor was really good at drilling, and the one named Li Ge Lao was only afraid that he would be pitted badly enough.
"Elder Li Ge, although we do have disrespect, but you, as a dignified elder, are murderous, and it is inevitable that it will be a little too much, in this case, we will not pursue each other, and the students will persuade Zhongcheng not to play this matter, and please don't hate us literati, how about it? After all, everyone is a disciple of Confucius and Mencius. ”
Zhang Pu now has to intercede with Zhu Youxiao, who is pretending to be Li Mingrui, although the way of saying the word still carries the arrogance of a literati, but the tone is pleading.
This can't be helped, he Zhang Pu is still a lifter, and many of the scholars he has restored to the society also urgently need to make a name for themselves in the science field, but the Li Ge Lao he has offended now is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who is mainly responsible for culture and the imperial examination.
So Zhang Pu now has to beg Li Mingrui to be magnanimous, otherwise it will really make Li Mingrui hold a grudge, then he and his Fushe are afraid that it will be difficult for someone to win the first place.
"Zhang Pu, don't talk nonsense, the person was not killed by the official, it was killed by the people of Dongchang, right, Wu Da stall head", Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin, Wu Jin hurriedly replied: "Back to Li Ge Lao, it is true that they are all small killings, but we never ask the king to kill people in Dongchang, according to His Majesty's will, this time I followed the old man to secretly visit the people, as long as there is an accident, whether it is an official gentleman or a pawn of a peddler, the lower official can be cut first and then played." ”
When Wu Jin said this, Zhang Pu was dumbfounded for a while.
However, Wei Min'er couldn't help but puff and laughed, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly glared at her, so frightened that she hurriedly shut up.
But at this time, the voice of Liu Kongzhao and the governor and the governor of the pacesetter general Shi Kaiyu suddenly came from outside: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, this official is the sincere uncle of the Nanjing garrison, Liu Kongzhao, and he is specially entrusted by Wang Zhongcheng to encircle and suppress Er and other cult thieves, and persuade you to arrest them with their hands, otherwise this official will not spare Er and others!" ”
Zhu Youzhen and other cavalrymen hurriedly turned their horses, raised their scimitars, and faced the oncoming group of 5,000 soldiers and horses.
The five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Liu Kongzhao couldn't help but take three steps back when they saw this posture, and Liu Kongzhao stammered and said: "You are the Praetorian Guard, you, you are His Royal Highness King Xin, is it inside?" ”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Kongzhao fell from his horse.
