Chapter 37: Civilization (Part 4)

Sure enough, I didn't hide it! Su Mingzhe shuddered, quickly stood up, and replied loudly, "Du Du is angry, the old minister did not intend to disobey your orders!" Really, it's really a matter that involves too much! ”

Sure enough, it was deliberately concealed! Zhu Chongjiu also shuddered faintly in his heart, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?!" No matter how big it is, you have to make it clear to me! ”

The moment he realized he had been shot that day, he was ready not to survive. So he decisively ordered two things, first, Xu Da presided over the overall situation. Second, it is forbidden to kill people indiscriminately.

But after waking up, the person in charge of the overall situation became Su Mingzhe.

The deputy commander of the Second Army Corps, Ivanov, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, Wu Twenty-two, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, Wu Liangmou, and the commander of the Guards Brigade Xu Hongsan, all followed behind Su Mingzhe.

The only one who did not follow Su Mingzhe was Liu Ziyun, the deputy commander of the First Legion. However, this person was born in a small prison in Xuzhou, and he had a good relationship with someone Su.

Could it be that the main messenger of the assassin is Su Mingzhe!

In an instant, Zhu Chongjiu almost flew out of the sky. No wonder Xu Da is gone, no wonder everyone tacitly doesn't mention Xu Da, it turns out that they have long been in cahoots. got rid of Xu Da and stole the power of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion.

But the next moment, he suddenly woke up again.

No, it can't be Su Mingzhe! Otherwise, why would he let Lao Tzu wake up!

Besides, Mr. Su has never led troops to fight, so why should he subdue this group of fierce generals under Lao Tzu?

And if Su Mingzhe turns his head to assist others, he will be the second in a thousand years at best. What's the difference between being the second thousand-year-old under Lao Tzu?!

If it weren't for Su Mingzhe, why would they ostracize Xu Da, why didn't they listen to Lao Tzu's orders?!

If it's Xu Da, how can it be possible!

Just when the whole brain was running at a high speed, Zhu Chongjiu saw Su Mingzhe make a gesture again, and begged for permission in a hesitant manner, "Dudu, this matter is wrong with the old minister, and you shouldn't go against your orders." But, Governor, please don't be angry, and listen to what the old minister has to say. When your body is restored, the old minister is willing to receive any punishment! ”

"Don't go around in circles, what the hell did you do to Xu Da?!" Zhu Chongjiu turned his face sideways, glared at Mr. Su fiercely, and forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart.

"Governor, you have to make sure you don't get angry! You can't be angry! Su Mingzhe was even more nervous than him at the moment, quietly took half a step back, and continued to beg for permission with his hand on the back of the chair.

"Fuck you! Am I that weak? You say it or not, don't say it, I call someone else to come in and ask! I don't believe it, the whole Governor's Mansion is willing to help you lie! Zhu Chongjiu was so anxious that the fire burned, his eyes widened and he roared in a low voice.

"I said, I said. Governor, don't be angry, this matter is still under investigation, and the current situation may not be the truth! When Su Mingzhe heard this, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again. Then he hardened his head and continued to add in a low voice: "That day, the person in charge of patrolling both sides of the street that day was the Jiangning Urban Management Bureau and the 302nd Brigade of the Third Army Corps. ”

"This?!" Zhu Chongjiu was slightly stunned, and a layer of dark clouds quickly appeared on his face. "There will be a mistake in the hundred! I don't believe that Xu Da is our old brother during the Xuzhou uprising. I don't believe he's going to be so cruel to me! ”

"Old minister, old minister can't believe it. But the old minister could not convince the others. After the incident, Guo Xiu, the head of the regiment on duty, committed suicide. Xu Da, Xu Da himself also took the initiative to refuse to preside over the overall situation during your recuperation! Su Mingzhe ducked back and stammered to add.

"This?" Zhu Chongjiu was stunned again, and then a desolation surged in his heart.

Xu Da is the first and only one among the generals of the Great Governor's Mansion to open a government outside the country. Both the Jiangning Urban Management Bureau and the 302nd Brigade of the Third Army were his direct subordinates. So let the assassin find an opportunity to sneak around the convoy, Xu Da can't escape the blame no matter what.

In addition, according to the agreement of everyone back then, Xu Da is also the first successor to the position of the general manager. If someone Zhu is assassinated, he will be the biggest beneficiary of this case!

Therefore, after the assassination, Xu Da became the biggest suspect. It is no wonder that he chose to avoid suspicion, and Su Mingzhe and others unceremoniously rejected Zhu Chongjiu's "chaotic life" before he fell into a coma.

However, Zhu Chongjiu also refused to believe that Xu Da was the mastermind of the assassination no matter what. He didn't believe that after he brought out the lineage by hand, after he mastered a certain amount of power, he would become a white-eyed wolf. I don't believe that Xu Da, who is famous all over the world in another time and space, will be so stupid. Choose to do it on his own turf, and don't know how to blame others!

"The old minister didn't dare to take General Xu what to do!!" Secretly looking at Zhu Chongjiu's face, Su Mingzhe continued to add cautiously, "It's just that according to General Xu Da's own request, let him hand over the military power to Wang Bi." Then he took him back to Yangzhou together. Then, in accordance with the consensus of the three houses, he sent a company of guards to provide them nearby outside his house! ”

'Bastard! You're all a bunch of bastards! Rats' eyes! Before Su Mingzhe finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu was so angry that he patted the edge of the bed and sat up, and on his forehead, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down one after another. The bronze face also instantly turned to ashes.

Su Mingzhe and Xu Hongsan were so frightened that they hurriedly rushed forward and reached out to support his back, "Lord, lord, don't be angry." Lao Chen, Lao Chen really knows that he is wrong. Lord! The old minister is willing to receive any punishment! ”

"The lord is angry, and the last general is willing to receive any punishment!"

"Punish the fart! If something happens, it will be irreparable to cut the two of you with a thousand knives! Zhu Chongjiu turned his head and glared at the two viciously, and his eyes turned black for a while. Do you think you are loyal to Lao Tzu? Bullshit! If Lao Tzu can't wake up, Lao Tzu's family, as well as the unborn child, will have to die sooner or later at the hands of you bastards! ”

"Lord-!" Su Mingzhe let go of his hand and knelt beside the bed with a "poof". Old tears suddenly flowed all over his face. "The old minister swears to the heavens that he has never had a second heart for you. The old minister, the old minister is really for the sake of the governor. The old minister, the old minister has done his best! ”

"Do you do everything you can to help? You old bastard, get me up quickly! Zhu Chongjiu was heartbroken and annoyed, raised his left hand, and pointed at Su Mingzhe tremblingly, "Stand up immediately, don't howl anymore!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut off your robe and break your righteousness! ”

The cry of the "lord" Su Mingzhe was instantly frightened back into his stomach. Standing up with teary eyes, his legs trembled and he couldn't exert his strength, and with a "poof", he fell to the ground again.

"You-!" If he could still swing his fists, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't wait to jump out of bed and beat Su Mingzhe to cripple with his own hands! turned around, glared at Xu Hongsan fiercely, and scolded loudly, "Don't go and help him up yet!" Are you waiting for him to kneel and die in front of Lao Tzu?! Go quickly, I don't need you to help me. Lao Tzu can hold it himself! ”

After saying that, he waved his left arm and pushed Xu Hongsan out.

Xu Hongsan was afraid that he would hurt his bones, so he had to withdraw his hand and bend down to help Mr. Su. "The lord is angry, the lord is angry, your old wounds have not healed!"

"You brainless guys!" Holding back the dizziness in his head, Zhu Chongjiu continued to roar in a low voice. "I fell for someone else, and I thought I had a plan! Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu should have driven all of you back to your hometown to hug your grandson! ”

He was very grateful to Su Mingzhe and all the civil and military forces in the Great Governor's Mansion for their loyalty to him, but he couldn't help but be angry about it. Because according to Su Mingzhe's current arrangement, if he really can't wake up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lao Tzu has long said that he doesn't care if the surname in the world is Zhu, but whether he can drive the Tartars back to Mobei! Do you think that waiting for Lao Tzu to arrange the succession order for the position of chief administrator so early is to buy people's hearts? Do I need to buy you? Lao Tzu doesn't want to see it, in case Lao Tzu dies one day, you people will kill each other. Don't tell Lao Tzu that you will support Lao Tzu's descendants, how can you guarantee that everyone is willing to listen to the command of a little hairy child. In that case, in the end, it will definitely be another Chenqiao mutiny. Lao Tzu's family and children, as well as you idiots, no one will get a good death! ”

This is the mastermind behind the assassination. If Zhu Chongjiu had not been assassinated in Jiangnan, Xu Da would have returned to Yangzhou to take over the Grand Governor's Mansion. The Huaiyang Governor's Mansion will smoothly complete a transfer of power, and it will be difficult for any internal disputes to arise.

And the assassination happened in Xu Da's territory, and the matter was immediately ten times more troublesome. If Zhu Chongjiu died unlucky, his will would not be effectively executed. The Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, which has lost its backbone, will soon fall into civil strife. The assassin's mastermind behind the scenes is just right to reap the benefits of the fisherman!

Su Mingzhe's ability is poor, but his understanding is not too weak. At first, I still felt that I was aggrieved, but as I listened, my face turned blue-gray, and on my forehead, there were also large beads of sweat rolling down in strings.

It was Xu Hongsan, although the cold air on his back was swishing, he maintained a little calm. After thinking about it, he carefully explained: "Governor, Governor is angry. Listen, listen to the last word. Su, Su Changshi, they really can't help it. The Assassins, of the eleven Assassins shot on the spot, at least six were from the Third Legion. Of the remaining five, three have not yet been clarified, but the other two are also trained in the auxiliary brigade of the Third Army and can be added to the battle at any time. ”

"Nonsense, if you don't have formal training, how can you hit a three-stage hit?!" Zhu Chongjiu glared at him and interrupted angrily. But the scolding tone has obviously softened a lot.

Su Mingzhe's ability is limited, so in a hurry, improper measures are inevitable. Lu Lu Zeng was a bystander, and he knew that he was a typical type of stage fright, and he expected him to keep a cool head when he heard about his assassination. The only person who is possible to guess the mind of the main messenger behind the assassination operation is probably Liu Bowen. But what about Liu Bowen, where did he go?

"Where's Berwyn, what happened to him?!" Suddenly thinking of the think tank he relied on, Zhu Chongjiu's scalp tightened, and he quickly asked.

"There was another group of Assassins that day, all of whom were arrested after their defeat. One of them had many correspondence with Liu Bowen. Mr. Su didn't dare to hide it, and lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

"I ask you what happened to him?" Zhu Chongjiu was so anxious that he slapped the edge of the bed again and asked loudly.

Before he fell into a coma, he remembered that he had instructed two things, first, Xu Da was in charge of the overall situation. Second, it is forbidden to kill people indiscriminately. The first thing was decisively rejected by Su Mingzhe and others, and the second thing was that another burst of pain hit him, and the Venus in front of him was in a hurry.

"Governor Liu is under house arrest in his own mansion. We obeyed the orders of the lord and did not dare to kill anyone. "Lest Zhu Chongjiu be angry to death, Xu Hongsan responded as soon as possible." and Lord Feng Guoyong and Master Ye Dexin, who were also found to have dealings with another group of assassins. Su Changshi did not move them according to the lord's orders. Just ordered them to stay in their respective mansions and wait for the inspection! ”

"You've done a human thing!" Zhu Chongjiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his body shook, he no longer had the strength to support it, and lay down softly.

As long as there is no killing spree, there is a possibility that things can be reversed. With the insights of Liu Bowen, Feng Guoyong and others, as long as they remedy it properly, they may not be haunted by it in the future.

"Lord, lord" Su Mingzhe and Xu Hongsan were startled again, threw themselves in front of the bed, and shouted loudly.

"Don't shout! Lao Tzu can't die for a while!! Zhu Chongjiu glared at the two of them and scolded weakly. If I want to die, I will die behind you guys. Save the following, and have to worry endlessly about you guys! ”

Su Mingzhe and Xu Hongsan didn't dare to fight back, so they could only apologize again and again. When Zhu Chongjiu saw this, he sighed helplessly. Then slowly close your eyes and try your best to rest calmly.

The wound on his chest hurt, and even more painful was his heart. When you are alive, you can do whatever you want, and even make a promise, and build the whole Huai'an and even China according to the ideals in your mind. And in case of his death, according to the current situation, I am afraid that all the qiē will return to the original appearance of history.

Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered corrupt officials to be skinned and grassed.

Zhu Yuanzhang once encouraged the people to petition at higher levels, and officials along the way were not allowed to stop them.

Zhu Yuanzhang once punished the non-staff personnel of the yamen, and in Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone, he arrested more than 1,500 people in small prisons that helped the government extort the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang was

As a result, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died, Emperor Jianwen immediately reused Huang Zicheng and others, and abolished all the tight spells that Zhu Yuanzhang had imposed on officials.

As a result, Zhu Di came to "Jing Difficult" again, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang at all. Whoever dares to "falsely accuse" an official again, first beat him half to death!

Inertia, huge inertia. If Zhu Yuanzhang was also a traverser, how desperate he would be!

For a moment, Zhu Chongjiu seemed to see that he had become the legendary Hercules Sisyphus, pushing a boulder up the mountain during the day, and at night, the stone would roll down by itself.

But Sisyphus, in the end, did not bow his head. It is his responsibility to push the stone up the mountain, as long as the stone is pushed to the top of the mountain, his responsibility will be fulfilled, as for whether the stone will roll down, it is not the business of future generations, and future generations will naturally have the choice of future generations.

Silently cheered himself up for a while, and his body finally recovered a little. Summing up his spirits again, he continued to ask Su Mingzhe, "What is the origin of the other group of assassins?" Have you found the mastermind behind it? ”

"It was a group of old Confucians and their families, and at that time, the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Affairs Department were all focused on them, so they missed the real assassins." Su Mingzhe grinned and gave an answer that made people laugh and cry. According to these people's confessions, their mastermind is Zheng Yu. And Zheng Yu himself confessed that he only wanted to knock on the death and had no idea of assassination. The situation of other people is similar, it is purely a thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, and they are talking nonsense together. There is only one guy named Boyan Shouzhong who is an exception, and this son's family has a handful of short soldiers hidden under each of his clothes. After the assassination, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he was all pressed on the spot by the city management! ”

"Grandma's!" Zhu Chongjiu shook his head helplessly. If the corrupt Confucians are punished for the crime of treason, most of them must be unjustly killed. But letting them go like this is really disgusting and panicking. And it's not good for these people to climb anyone, so they have to pull Liu Bowen and Feng Guo into it. It was a deliberate attempt to help the real Assassins, more than ten times more dangerous than the danger they would have caused by their own assassinations.

"If the lord feels that Liu Ji has been wronged, the old minister can immediately order the removal of the soldiers around his house!" Su Mingzhe was anxious to make Zhu Chongjiu feel relieved, thought about it, and whispered.

"Withdraw, withdraw the soldiers near Feng Senjun and Governor Ye's house, and then tell them that after Zhu recovers from his injuries another day, he will personally come to the door to ask for the guilt!" Zhu Chongjiu didn't think about it, and commanded in a low voice. "I don't believe it, they don't want to put their good future in Huaiyang, and they will collude with a few rotten Confucians who can't get things done at all!"

"Yes, the old minister will go and make amends for them when he turns around!" Su Mingzhe arched his hand weakly and assured in a low voice.

In fact, he may not understand in his heart that Liu Bowen and Feng Guoyong and others were dragged into the water by the old Confucians. There were just some reasons, but they prompted him to deliberately push the boat down the river.

Now that my lord has woken up, those reasons can no longer be put on the table. So the best thing to do is to take the initiative to apologize and calm things down quickly.

"You old thing, if you commit it again, Lao Tzu will beat you to the end!" Although Zhu Chongjiu has not recovered from his serious injuries, his mind is very clear. Soon, from Su Mingzhe's expression, he guessed a few clues. Angry, he gritted his teeth and reprimanded loudly.

"Old minister, old minister is guilty." Su Mingzhe didn't dare to distinguish it, and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"Grandma, you should be glad that Lao Tzu is not dead. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will play yourself to death with no place to bury! Zhu Chongjiu glared at him fiercely, disdainful. Immediately, he sighed softly and continued to ask in a low voice, "Where did you just go?" The dead assassins were all from the Third Legion, so what about the living ones, didn't they catch any of them? ”

"I caught a few, and found out a mastermind behind the scenes. But this person may not be the real murderer! Su Mingzhe's expression became very hesitant again, and his voice was weak.

"Who? Don't mother-in-law! ”

, the lord promised first, after listening to it, he must not be angry! Su Mingzhe hesitated again and again, but still stubbornly begged his lord to make a guarantee first.

"Say it! It's already like this, no matter how angry I am, what else can I do? Zhu Chongjiu felt an uneasy undercurrent in his heart again, his eyes pricked up, and his voice suddenly turned higher.

"Yes, it's Hu Sanshe!" Su Mingzhe was forced to be helpless and responded hard. He confessed that a master told him his fortune and said that he had the appearance of an emperor. So he wanted to kill the lord in Jiangning, and then blame Xu Da. In this case, as long as Xu Da can't inherit the position of the chief manager, next, it will be his father Hu Dahai's turn! Lord, lord, you promise the old minister not to be angry! Lord, lord, don't scare the old minister. Come on, lord, lord is vomiting blood again! ”
