Chapter 1304 The mountain rain is coming
readx; In order to capture the criminal Zhixin, Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, personally took action. www.biquge.info In this era, there are not a few literati who practice martial arts, such as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who can fight on horseback. But if you can reach Yuan Keli's level, I'm afraid there will be no one else besides him. He was originally born in a martial arts family, although the Henan Yuan family was not among the six major martial arts families, but he also had a family history. Yuan Keli is also gifted, his strength is amazing, and his martial arts are also dedicated to taking a fierce route. When he was in Dengzhou, he had studied with Qi Xianzong, the head of the Qi family, and the two were on par with each other, and they were definitely at the level of a grandmaster.
At this time, in the face of Zhixin's fast knife fighting, Yuan Keli was not in a hurry, and only responded with a long sword. Zhixin's various strange tricks emerge in an endless stream, which is dazzling, but Yuan Keli's tricks are dignified and concise, and every move and style can be seen clearly. But every move made the strength full, wide open and closed, Zhixin's knife and Yuan Keli's sword only fought once, and he felt that his arms were sore, and he didn't dare to touch it hard, otherwise there was a danger of getting out.
But all those who practice martial arts understand a simple truth: one force will reduce ten meetings. No matter how complex your tricks are, if there is too much difference with the opponent's strength, then you attack the opponent with ten moves, and the opponent may not be fine; And if the other party hits you, you can't bear it, and you will definitely lose such a battle. Therefore, no matter how high the master is, he must also practice strength. But this power can't be cultivated just by practicing, everyone almost has a limit, and this limit is different for everyone, which is the difference in talent.
At this time, Yuan Keli gave full play to his strength, and every move was like a move, forcing Zhixin to turn around in the courtyard, but he could not escape from the control of Yuan Keli's long sword. At the same time, Cao Bianjiao and others had already captured several of Zhixin's subordinates, surrounded by iron buckets on all sides, and Zhixin was already unable to fly.
Seeing that he was becoming more and more passive, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to a few moves anymore, Zhixin's steel knife suddenly broke out and shot towards Yuan Keli. Taking advantage of Yuan Keli's dodge, Zhixin suddenly took out a grenade disguised as a Maitreya Buddha statue from his arms, pulled off the Buddha's head and pulled the pull ring, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Today I will die with the traitor, hurry up!" ”
But under the agitation of emotions, he couldn't help but neglect to take precautions against Yuan Keli. Yuan Keli saw the opportunity, and suddenly picked out a sword, and it was picking on the Buddha statue. The accuracy of this sword is exquisite, and it is very different from the previous moves, and with the ability of wisdom and faith, it did not even dodge. Zhixin only felt a huge shock in his palm, and he could no longer hold the Buddha statue, and this Maitreya Buddha flew into the air more than two feet high, almost instantly, "boom" exploded!
Fortunately, Yuan Keli picked up the Buddha statue to fly, and although the lethality of the grenade was amazing, the killing range was still relatively small. The shrapnel that burst out of the grenade flew everywhere, but by the time it flew below, the force was much less. It was the middle of winter, everyone was dressed thickly, and only a few people were slightly injured.
As for Zhixin, he had been slapped in the chest by Yuan Keli and flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and died of blood spraying, and was immediately tied up by the brocade guard rope, and could no longer escape.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Keli ordered people to launch an emergency search in the courtyard, and this time they gained a lot, and they found more than 20 modified grenades. Everyone was apprehensive, thinking that these grenades were enough to organize an assassination and kill Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli, so that Chang Yinxu could return to power!
The arrest operation was successful, and Yuan Keli immediately led the crowd out of the courtyard, taking only a few monks with him, and Chang Yinxu's domestic servants were not arrested. This is also what he and Wang Zaijin have discussed in advance, and it is not yet time for a complete showdown with Chang Yinxu. If he comes to the door to ask for the crime because of this matter, Chang Yinxu can completely prevaricate without knowing it, and the most important thing is that most of the guards in Nanjing still obey him, and I am afraid that a bloody battle will break out at that time. At present, if their own people fight first, the trip of the two old ministers to Nanjing will be a complete failure.
The current approach is to put the choice in the hands of Chang Yinxu. If he can pull back from the precipice, both sides will pretend that nothing happened. Of course, if Chang Yinxu really colluded with the White Lotus Sect, sooner or later he would take a risk, and Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli would have to kill them.
After returning to the garrison mansion, Jinyiwei immediately began to interrogate Zhixin and the others. According to the confession of the fake monk of the White Lotus Sect that had been captured before, Zhixin's true identity was one of the "Eight King Kongs" of the White Lotus Sect. Qi Youkun and Huang Zhicheng, who died in the explosion of Wang Gongchang before, are also "King Kong", which shows the high status of Zhixin in the church.
However, Zhixin was much more determined than other disciples, and let Jinyiwei torture him in various ways, he didn't say a word, and fainted in pain several times. Because his actual age was at least sixty years old, Wang Zaijin was afraid that he would not be able to die if he was tortured, so he had to order him to be temporarily detained. As for how the White Lotus Sect obtained those grenades, and what kind of organization they used to transport the grenades into Nanjing, it is still unknown.
After an emergency discussion, the two old ministers made emergency arrangements while playing to Zhu Youzhen. First of all, spread the news that Jinyiwei had just captured the monk Zhixin in a private house, but this person was actually an impostor, and the real Zhixin had already been killed by him. This fake Zhixin committed a crime against him, committed murder and resisted arrest, and was killed on the spot. The reason why I made up such a story was to stabilize Chang Yinxu and tell him that "Zhixin will not bite you out".
The second is military deployment. The Nanjing Garrison Mansion and the Yamen of the Military Department are both in the Imperial City, and the front and rear of the Imperial City are precisely the defense areas of the Jinwu Four Guards. The two immediately issued a military order to the Jinwu Four Guards in the name of the Nanjing garrison and the counselor's maintenance, ordering them to stick to their respective defense areas and be on high alert, "in case the rebels are spying." In particular, the Jinwu Left Guard, who controls the Zhengyang Gate, is even more of a Jinyi guard to "coordinate patrol".
Of course, the killer weapon in the hands of the two is still the 1,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry of Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, and the 200 Heavenly Heroes led by Yang Lukai. Yuan Keli was still not at ease, and secretly ordered Weng Yu, who was patrolling on the Yangtze River, to immediately take over all the naval forces in Nanjing once there was turmoil in Nanjing, and if anyone did not comply, he would be killed. In the case of uncontrollable situation, it is even possible to set fire to the ship, in short, to ensure the safety of the Yangtze River moat in any case.
The whole day passed quickly, Chang Yinxu really did not act rashly, and Nanjing City looked as usual. But everyone knows that this is just a temporary silence before the big change, and it is not far from "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings". By noon the next day, the flying pigeon biography that the two old ministers had been waiting for had finally arrived. The two hurriedly ordered someone to translate this top-secret letter, and the content was only a few numbers: "Wang Yuan: The grenade case has been solved. Chang Yinxu is deeply grateful to the emperor, so he will choose the opportunity to arrest him, and he will be arrested! ”
