Chapter 670: The Governor's Mansion Strikes
With the cooperation and assistance of Zhu Qing and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, Governor Lu successfully scolded Governor Wu, making him excited and disappointed. Not only that, but Governor Lu, who was quite a little Jiujiu, also took the opportunity to inquire about the news of the main book from Governor Wu, and Governor Wu was so angry that he almost leaked his mouth.
Although the words were not finished, everyone already suspected that the master had gone to Governor Wu nine times out of ten. After Governor Wu left the governor's mansion, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan began to act.
Zhang Laoqi personally went out and decided to sneak into the Governor's Mansion to find out, and it was Zhang Laosan who answered him, Zhang Laosan was quite reliable, and he went with Zhang Laoqi, Zhang Laosan was very relieved.
The others stayed behind to cooperate with Governor Lu to organize troops and horses to prepare for a counterattack on the Governor's Palace, of course, it can also be regarded as the supervision of Governor Lu, after all, the matter has not yet been decided, and Governor Lu's case of Zhang Qincha's death has yet to be investigated. Jiangnan Seven Heroes, but I believe that Zhu Qing gave Governor Lu this opportunity.
And what about Zhu Qing? I can only honestly go to the conscription battalion to serve. After some humiliation from the Governor's Mansion, Governor Wu categorically would not give up, and would definitely send more people to keep an eye on Zhu Qing.
As Zhang Laoqi had inferred before, Governor Wu was not so much trying to deal with Governor Lu, a dissident, but rather wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of his real enemy, Zhu Qing. After all, Governor Wu is a member of the Relatives Party, and Zhu Qing is the backbone of the Qingliu Party, if he can get rid of Zhu Qing in the place, not only will he not easily involve the big fish of the Relatives Party who are sitting in the court, but it is also a great achievement, Governor Wu will not let go of this golden opportunity no matter what, just wait for Zhu Qing to make any mistakes, he will die!
After these few days, the news of the murder of Zhang Qincha, who rushed to Taiwan to deal with the Taiwan troublemaking case, has reached the imperial court, Chongzhen was furious, and the minister of Qincha exercised great power on behalf of the imperial court and the emperor, and killing Zhang Qincha was tantamount to making Chongzhen's face bigger! Chongzhen has only one instruction, strictly investigate!
And the spearhead of the imperial court at this time is of course directly aimed at Governor Lu, after all, this news was made up by the people of the foreign relatives' party, and after Governor Lu returned to the mainland, he did not enter Beijing for a long time to resume his life, which in itself is doubtful. However, Governor Lu naturally has a reason not to enter Beijing, one is worried that he will be intercepted and killed by the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan who listen to rumors, and the other is to enter Beijing, it is estimated that he was assassinated by the people of the relatives of the party before he saw the emperor. These three reasons, all of which could lead to his death, Governor Lu was cowardly, but he was not stupid, he would rather be delayed than take such a risk. He's waiting for an opportunity, a chance to be sure. Now, that opportunity seems to be starting to come. With the help of Zhu Qing and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, Governor Lu is more confident in investigating the case, as long as he comes up with real evidence, he will definitely have a better chance of winning if he enters the capital under the escort of the Seven Heroes.
The plan of Governor Lu and others was also perfect, however, after Governor Wu was humiliated by the Governor's Mansion, he also realized the seriousness of the matter and his own weakness, and he hurried to ask for help from the relatives of the imperial court. He tried every means to get Chongzhen to send people south to directly arrest Governor Lu.
However, it will take some time for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to rush to Guangxi to arrest people, and this time is the time when the governor's palace and the governor's palace compete.
In order not to give authority to others, after Governor Wu returned to the Governor's Palace, he asked the master of the Governor's Mansion who had gone to the Governor's Mansion to report the news to the Governor's Palace.
Although this master is a person from Governor Wu, he has some tricks, but he is also a timid person who is afraid of death. He was worried that he would be suspected by the governor's mansion, and under the repeated demands of Governor Wu, he returned to the governor's mansion with trepidation.
Since Governor Lu was already suspicious of the main bookkeeper, he would definitely be wary, but in order not to let the master book find out, he still pretended to be very worried and went out to greet him.
The main book is also very awake, and when I went back, I brought a large amount of tofu brain, this tofu brain is a local must, and the reason why the main book went out late at night has a rhetoric, "Buy tofu brain for the returnees who came from afar in the governor's mansion." ”
These words really made Governor Lu believe a little, after all, this explanation has always been the responsibility of the main bookkeeper, and this tofu brain is personally procured by the master book every time. So, misunderstood the master book? After all, over the years, the relationship between Governor Lu and the master bookkeeper has surpassed the master-servant relationship, and they are even called brothers. Governor Lu really hoped that this was a misunderstanding.
However, the reality soon woke up the old Governor Lu, and Zhang Laoqi really found ironclad evidence of the relationship between the master book and Governor Wu in the Governor's Palace.
The master book, who sensed that the matter was about to be revealed, felt that he was taking a risk. Otherwise, Governor Wu threw him out and took the blame.
On this day, the chief secretary went to the conscription camp, and it happened that Governor Wu also sent someone to inspect the camp. A conspiracy is brewing.
The chief bookkeeper decided to do a big thing for Governor Wu before he turned his face with Governor Lu, or rather, did a big thing for himself.
He heard that the people sent by the imperial court would arrive in Guangxi in the next two days, and if he could do a big thing under the imperial court, not to mention that Governor Wu would look at him differently, and it was even possible to ascend to the sky in one step, and be taken by Uncle Tian Guo and directly summoned to his side, so that he would no longer have to be subjected to various envoys and threats from Governor Wu.
In fact, the idea of the chief secretary is really good, after all, Governor Wu is only a local agent of Uncle Tian Guo and others, if the matter is revealed, of course, this pot will be thrown to Governor Wu, and they will find another agent, which is the usual trick of the foreign relatives.
The main book made a desperate bet and decided to get rid of Zhu Qing who was in the service.
Zhu Qing has been honestly serving in the conscription battalion for the past few days, working and resting with the service members, but dormant and surrender are completely different, for others, they have already surrendered to power, but Zhu Qing is different, he is also waiting for an opportunity! A chance for him to fight back.
If he wants to leave the conscription camp, unless he atone for his sins, and the ordinary more work and less confrontation such a small merit is obviously not enough to offset Zhu Qing's sins, he needs to do a big thing, let the court shake, and let Chongzhen personally issue an amnesty.
The arrival of the master book brought him this opportunity.
Most people do not believe that a prisoner with his hands and feet tied can resist an attack from an external force.
On a starry night, the master book did it, as did the patrol team and the killers sent by the governor's palace. In order to succeed in one fell swoop, Governor Wu can be described as a three-pronged approach, and he is bound to get rid of Zhu Qing before the Mid-Autumn Festival!
However, none of these three forces really understood their opponents, and after the patrol team walked around, Zhu Qing did not show the slightest flaw, and even respectfully, so that they had no excuse to interrogate Zhu Qing. There were also the big guards of the governor's mansion to follow, and the patrol team could only return in vain.
However, since it was Governor Wu who played the cards himself, he would definitely not deal with it so easily, and the inspection team saw that Zhu Qing had no chance, so they used the excuse to inspect the whole battalion, and the commander of the conscripted battalion and the chief guard of the governor's mansion could only accompany him.
The patrol team moved the tiger away from the mountain, and the guard of Zhu Qing by the conscription battalion suddenly became empty, and the killers of the Governor's Mansion suddenly had an opportunity.
At this time, Zhu Qing was pretending to sleep in the barracks, and several dark shadows quietly came in.
At this time, the master book also mixed into the barracks. Unexpectedly, someone in the barracks knew the master book and shouted, which alarmed the barracks. The killer was in a hurry and wanted to kill him along with the master book, which was also included in Governor Wu's plan, to eliminate the defense of Zhu Qing and the guards, someone had to sacrifice, and the master book became the best candidate for Governor Wu. Of course, the master book is not aware of this.
Just as the killer's blade was stabbing towards the main book, Zhu Qing suddenly sat up, although his hands and feet were tied, he was still able to pull the haystack spread on the ground, and the master book slipped under his feet, and fell down, avoiding the assassination of the killer.
When the envoy and the chief guard heard the noise, they led the people back, and the prisoners in the barracks were also awakened one after another.
Seeing that the operation was exposed, the killer had to flee in all directions.
"Give me chase!" The envoy ordered, and the big guard also led people to chase them out.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the patrol team and walked into Zhu Qing's barracks, this person was Governor Wu's most powerful person, if he hadn't helped him in every way that night, I am afraid that Governor Wu would not be able to retreat in the Governor's Mansion, and he was a powerful character.
"It turns out that you are the real killer, what a move!" Seeing Governor David standing in front of him, Zhu Qing sneered.
"It's a pity you knew too late." As the governor David spoke, he drew his sword and stabbed Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was worried that the main book would be injured by mistake, so he kicked the main book open.
Although the hands and feet are chained, the chains are still loose, and the big fists and feet cannot be used, but they can still move to some extent. Although Zhu Qing's box has been temporarily taken into custody and has no weapons in his hands, the chain can also be used as a weapon, and the offense is unfavorable, but the defense is very competent.
This governor David didn't talk much, but he had some skills, and when he came up, he attacked Zhu Qing repeatedly, so that the people around him couldn't help but stay far away, for fear of hurting himself by mistake.
Governor David became more and more proficient, and when he felt that victory was in sight, he stabbed sharply, but it was the knife he felt he was most sure of, but it was Zhu Qing who took advantage of the situation to dissolve, Governor David not only stabbed the air, but also the knife was immediately locked by Zhu Qing with chains.
Governor David was about to snatch back the big knife at close range, but unexpectedly gave Zhu Qing a chance to fight back.
Zhu Qing wrapped around sideways and went around behind Governor David, and by the time Governor David realized that the situation was not good, it was too late, and Zhu Qing's chains had already locked his throat.
"Say, did Governor Wu send you to take my life?" Zhu Qing asked knowingly, just to make Governor David admit in front of everyone that it was the Governor's Mansion who assassinated the criminal.
I don't want this governor David to have a little backbone, so he stubbornly resisted, "Foreigners pay for your life, I only recognize money!" Sure enough, Governor David didn't want to confess to Governor Wu, so he moved out of foreigners as shields.
"Hmph, then you can go and spend the foreigner's money!" Zhu Qing sneered, and with a strong retraction, the sharp blade locked by the chain "clicked" into the throat of Governor David, killing him instantly.
Looking at David, the governor who had fallen to the ground, the master scroll was huddled in the corner and trembled.
Zhu Qing dragged the chain towards the master book, and sneered, "I didn't expect it, right? You're just a card in the Doge's Palace, and the least appreciated, and if you don't come to your senses, he'll be your end! ”
"I don't know, I don't know anything!" The master book trembled.
Zhu Qing squatted down and muttered in the ear of the master bookkeeper, "Your situation and family, Jinyi Wei have already checked......
When the master bookkeeper heard this, his face changed greatly, Zhu Qing ignored it, stood up and was about to walk away, when the master book suddenly pounced, grabbed Zhu Qing's trouser legs, and began to beg for mercy......
"Take it down!" At this time, the chief envoy and the chief guard returned to the barracks and shouted loudly at the master who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
