Here is a record of the case of private artillery imitation that occurred two years ago, which said that King Ning got the emperor's permission and was fully responsible for the manufacture of private artillery imitation, and the Ministry of Rites as an assistant was originally to prepare a salute for the emperor's birthday banquet, who knew that King Ning secretly set up a private cannon imitation and embezzled a huge amount of money, and later this matter was known by King Shou, so King Shou sent a guest surnamed Cheng to infiltrate the private cannon imitation in one night, ignited the gunpowder in the private cannon imitation, and killed hundreds of people around. In addition, Liu Wen, the overseer of Dongchang, was knocked out and appeared there when the explosion occurred, so Liu Wen presented the mastermind Ning Wang and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others to make private imitations, embezzle huge amounts of money, and harm hundreds of lives to the emperor, at that time Long Yan was furious, and all the officials involved in the case were executed, and King Ning was also imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison.

After reading the whole thing, Li Wencai couldn't help but want to praise King Shou, this kid's ability to be Yin and himself can be said to be equal, this matter is nothing, and the emperor probably won't know about it, but a fire has completely changed the nature of this matter, everything is a big crime to kill the head, and King Shou, who is standing behind the whole thing, is the biggest winner, not only brought down the opponent King Ning, but also let his own people replace the officials who were cut off, and his strength in the court is one step closer.

"Little prince, did you find it, there is a very important person mentioned in this, that is, a guest of Shouwangfu surnamed Cheng, the person we investigated in the horse market some time ago was Cheng Tie, how could it be so coincidental?" Li Wencai couldn't help but touch his chin and said suspiciously.

Of course, Zhu Jingtian understood what Li Wencai meant, and said: "Let's go to the horse market to search, but someone has already learned the news, and Cheng Tie can easily get involved in King Jin's birthday banquet, presumably it must be a powerful person behind the back, otherwise it will be difficult for him to do it, and now I think that the only person who is planning behind the scenes is King Shou." ”

"We have seen this Cheng Tie's skills, two years ago he was able to sneak into the private artillery imitation alone, which also proves that this guy is by no means an idle person, and the private artillery imitation must be heavily guarded, but Cheng Tie still sneaked in, and retreated, so this thing is definitely not easy to deal with."

Zhu Jingtian also looked embarrassed, if he could catch this Cheng Tie, it would not be far from bringing down King Shou, but after Cheng Tie disappeared last time, he didn't inquire about his whereabouts again, so Zhu Jingtian said: "I think Cheng Tie is hiding so hidden, only Shouwang Mansion is the safest in Nanjing City, this bastard must be hiding in Shouwang Mansion." ”

"Is the little prince going to Shouwang's Mansion to arrest people, it is estimated that if people can't be caught, they will be labeled as rebels, and the gains outweigh the losses." Li Wencai glanced at Zhu Jingtian, and said in his heart that this guy's brain is really bad.

"Then what should we do, if he hides in the palace and doesn't come out, then we can't do anything about him." Zhu Jingtian was embarrassed.

"There is always a time when this goods comes out, just like a housekeeper, sometimes it will run out and bite people." After Li Wencai finished speaking, he glanced into the attic and said, "This is the big fat that let the watchdog run out, and now this fat can't run, so let's run for him for a while." ”

After listening to Li Wencai's words, Zhu Jingtian suddenly realized, and led Cheng Tie out to take it down, this is really a good way, and now there is something that makes King Shou panic, if the news is released, it will be said that this scholar has fled from Nanjing City and is already on the way to Shuntianfu, it is estimated that the people in Dongchang will not be able to sit still, and Cheng Tie, the henchman of King Shou, will also attack, and he will wait to arrest people when the time comes.

The two looked at each other very tacitly, and then Li Wencai said: "Who do you think you are looking for to pretend to be this scholar surnamed Sun?" ”

Zhu Jingtian looked at Li Wencai and said: "Brother Li's extraordinary literati temperament is very similar to that of a scholar surnamed Sun, except that you can't find a second person." ”

Li Wencai laughed twice and said: "This matter is not discussed, I don't want to do it any amount of money, I only have one life, if I don't do it, I will be hacked to death by the eunuchs in Dongchang, you see I am still young, the road ahead is still very long, and there are a few beautiful wives waiting for me, do you think I can be a stand-in?" ”

Zhu Jingtian looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring appearance that Li Wencai said, and couldn't help but feel disdainful in his heart, cowardly and cowardly, why did he say so much, so Zhu Jingtian said: "The stand-in is none other than Brother Li, the county lord has often asked me about you these days, and I don't know how to answer yet." ”

"Brother Zhu, you dare to threaten me?" Li Wencai looked at Zhu Jingtian's cunning appearance and knew that this kid was not well-intentioned.

"Also, I'm here to tell you something important, about your dad and his wife."

Zhu Jingtian only said half of what he said, and the other half obviously can't be said now, it depends on Li Wencai's performance.

Li Wencai was also depressed, he was actually pitted by a pig's head, and he dared to threaten himself, so Li Wencai slapped the table and shouted: "The deal, after the matter is completed, you have to tell me everything you know." ”

Zhu Jingtian nodded obediently and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, even if it doesn't work, I will take care of your father and wife for you." ”

"It's really my honor to be a brother with Brother Zhu, you can pay for today's wine." After Li Wencai finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zhu Jingtian, turned around and jumped onto the small boat where the boat was drawn.

"You, you kid is calculating me." Zhu Jingtian saw that Li Wencai turned around and slipped away, so he had no choice but to be the wronged leader.

The bright moonlight sprinkled all over the city of Nanjing, the street under the moonlight was silent, it was already the middle of the day, and the sky would be bright in another hour, at this time only a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded on the street, and a man in a white scholar's shirt rode on horseback and flew towards the big one

At the end of the street, a group of soldiers in armor followed behind him, shouting, "Catch the Danglin party, don't let him run." ”

The movement of the soldiers was very loud, and the people along the street woke up, and many people stood at the door and showed their heads to point out what was happening on the street

The sergeant was on patrol at night, and the little prince led the team, so Liu Wen stepped forward, bowed with a smile and said: "I've seen the little prince, I don't know if it's so late, who made the whole Nanjing city restless?" ”

Zhu Jingtian sighed and said: "Governor Liu doesn't know, this Donglin Party is really restless, even late at night on the streets of Nanjing City, the sergeant of my patrol team found that the person is very similar to the white-clothed scholar that Liu Inspector sent someone to hunt down a few days ago, but it is a pity to let this guy run away, at this time the city gate is about to open, if the Donglin Party people escape from the city, it will be a disaster." ”

Liu Wen's eyes widened, this is powerful, Liu Wen is the most clear, if the Donglin Party surnamed Sun escapes from the city, it will definitely be an endless disaster, the case that happened in Sifang Street yesterday was the death of several of his own subordinates, but he did not find Sun Shoujing's body, so Liu Wen guessed that this Sun Shoujing may still be alive, and it is very likely to hide in the city of Nanjing, so it is all over the street to arrest, now it seems that Sun Shoujing is going to abscond out of the city, Liu Wen didn't say a word, turned over his horse, and went straight to the city gate.

Zhu Jingtian saw that Liu Wen had already gone to the city gate, and showed a smile, the plan was underway.

Li Wencai on the other side is not so casual, he is now wearing a black veil on his head, riding a horse and running directly to the city gate, looking up at the sky, the east has revealed the white belly of the fish, it seems that the city gate is about to open, the time is just right, but Li Wencai heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, judging from the sound, the chasing soldiers are only a few hundred meters away from him, and there are a lot of people, Li Wencai is anxious, this is the first death before the master, if the hellish Dongchang eunuchs don't say a word, catch yourself is a mess of knives, That's too resentful for his death.

Just when Li Wencai was anxious, he saw the black city gate in front of him squeaking, and the gate opened, so Li Wencai clamped the horse's belly with his legs, only to hear a neighing of the horse, and galloped directly towards the gate at a faster speed.

"The defenders of the city will take down the thieves at the front gate." Liu Wen shouted from afar, his thin voice sounding like a rooster crowing because it was too high-pitched.

But after all, Liu Wen is too far away from the city gate, where can the soldiers who defend the city hear, so I saw Li Wencai jumping out of the gate without stopping, and when Liu Wen arrived, he couldn't even see the horse's buttocks, Liu Wen was so anxious that his old face turned white, if he let Sun Shoujing escape from the city, then how could he explain in front of King Shou, so Liu Wen waved his hand to his subordinates and said: "The thieves have escaped from the city, you give me to chase me towards the road to Shuntian." ”

Liu Wen gave an order, and more than a dozen eunuchs from Dongchang, with quivers behind their backs and long swords hanging from their waists, hurriedly chased in the direction of Li Wencai's escape.

Liu Wen knew that this matter was not trivial, so he turned his horse's head, went directly to King Shou's mansion, trotted all the way into the palace of King Shou, and said to the little eunuch on duty at night: "I have something important to report to King Shou, go and spread it quickly." ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, so he ran into King Shou's bedroom, and after a while, he saw a handsome man who thought he was tall and tall, with a slender face like a knife, walked into the hall, this person was King Shou, hearing Liu Wen come to report, King Shou knew that something big must have happened, so he asked directly: "Is there news from the Donglin Party surnamed Sun?" ”

Liu Wen didn't forget to pat himself at this time, so he arched his hand and said: "King Shou is wise and martial, extraordinary intelligence, the slave has not yet said that His Royal Highness knows about it, just now the patrol sergeant found a person galloping on the street, according to them, this person is wearing a white shirt, like Sun Shoujing, who was arrested a few days ago, and now this person has escaped from the city, I know that this matter is very important, so I report to King Shou." ”

King Shou nodded, thought for a while, and thought that no matter whether this matter was true or not, he couldn't let that person run away, otherwise if he was allowed to meet the emperor, he would fall into passivity, so he said to the little eunuch behind him: "Call Cheng Tie out, I have important things to hand over to him." ”

As Li Wencai expected, Cheng Tie was indeed hiding in King Shou's mansion, and when he heard King Shou summoning him, he quickly came to the hall.

King Shou handed over a golden sword in his hand to Cheng Tie and said: "This sword is given by the emperor, it has the use of cutting first and then playing, you take it to pursue Sun Shoujing, no matter who comes out to stop it, you can't let this Sun Shoujing escape to Shuntian Mansion, otherwise you don't have to come back to see me." ”

Cheng Tie is King Shou's most powerful arm, so King Shou handed over this matter to Cheng Tie to do, Cheng Tie took the sword without saying a word, carried a huge horn bow on his back, bowed to King Shou, walked out of the hall, rode a big horse and galloped out of King Shou's house.

Cheng Tie's big hand is faster than ordinary horses, and Cheng Tie knows the path to Shuntianfu Road, so he takes the small road to intercept it, but Li Wen has only been out of the city for a while, and it is estimated that it is not so easy to catch up.

Li Wencai galloped out of Nanjing outside the city of twenty miles, because the riding skills are not perfect, so the back of more than a dozen Dongchang eunuchs are about to catch up, then only see a row of willow trees in front, these willows do not know how many years they have lived, the body of the tree has the thickness of hugging, Li Wencai was happy in his heart, galloped over, and then the continent in the middle of the willow tree stretched out his hand and pointed at the more than a dozen eunuchs of Dongchang behind, arrogantly shouted: "Dare to chase the master, I'm afraid that you don't want to go back alive." ”

When those Dongchang eunuchs heard that Li Wencai was so arrogant, they pulled out the long sword at their waist and shouted, and rushed towards Li Wencai.
