Chapter 254: The Shadow of Death

"Your Excellency." Li Hanqing couldn't agree with Toto's arrangement at all, and instinctively wanted to say something to stop it, but when he saw Toto's angry eyes, the words that had already reached his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach by him.

In addition, although Timur is not good at using soldiers, he lost 300,000 troops in one go, but his personal bravery will definitely be able to rank in the top three in the entire capital, and he is really powerful, and more than a dozen ordinary warriors can't get close at all, enough to lead a small team of private soldiers to kill anyone's home directly.

"Actually, it's best to keep you." I didn't want Li Hanqing to be too sad, Dayuan Youcheng thought about it, and solemnly added, "However, first, the emperor has ordered your general, and the old man cannot publicly disobey the will, and second, although you have great ability, after all, you are from a lower background, and you are a Han Chinese, and those Mongolian warriors in my family may not be willing to obey your control, so you still follow the old man's side and use all your skills to help the old man deal with the red turban thief, our brothers will destroy the Zhu butcher earlier, and we can also return to the capital city as soon as possible to solve other troubles, As long as there is this merit in hand, it will be enough to compensate for the crime of losing Timur's teacher and humiliating the country, and at that time, no one will be able to hold the handle of our family. ”

"Yes, sir." Li Hanqing sighed and responded wistfully, speaking from his heart, he didn't agree with the idea of detachment at all, with the great merit of eliminating Zhu Tuhu, he would be able to regain the trust of the emperor, and those political enemies in the court would not dare to be wanton anymore, how could this be possible, if the merit could have avoided being murdered, Yue Wumu would not have died in the Storm Pavilion back then, what does it mean if there are three words, it is not possible, it may not be, but there is no need to have it at all, just the four words "high merit and shock the master" are enough to take the life of any courtier.

"The old man can handle the training himself, and you don't have to take care of the grain and grass for the time being." Seeing that Li Hanqing's mood was still not high, You Cheng thought about it and began to put a burden on his shoulders, "While there is still a period of time before you leave the spring, you order a batch of good hands from home and go to me to inquire about the situation on the Zhu Butcher's side, except for the old man and Tuhuan Timur, in the entire Youcheng Mansion, other people can be called by you at will, and the old man wants all the situations on the Zhu Butcher's side in order to know himself and the other." ”

"Obedience." Li Hanqing thought about it and bowed his hand solemnly.

Unable to persuade Tokhtok to deal with his political enemies first and then go on an expedition, he could only retreat and assist Tokhtar to deal with the external enemies as quickly as possible, and then return to the capital as quickly as possible, and deter Hama, Sango, and Yuekuo Cha'er and others, if the time was accurate, maybe the final result would not be as bad as he imagined.

In the evening of the same day, he led 100 of his henchmen to leave the capital in the snow, and walked along the frozen canal all the way to the south, breaking the team into pieces as he went, and letting the dead soldiers pretend to be traders, homeless people, beggars and walking monks, and infiltrate the south of the Yellow River from all directions, and then bought a special courtyard as a contact point in Pizhou, which is only one river away from Xuzhou, and soon, the intelligence of the Huai'an army was continuously collected.

However, after the summary of this information, Li Hanqing was stunned, he had never seen anything out of tune, he had never seen something so out of tune, just when he and his master were getting rid of their troops and horses, and were ready to go south at any time, Zhu Bayi, the most difficult enemy in their eyes, actually became the shopkeeper, and handed over all military affairs and government affairs to Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Liu Ziyun, Mr. Su, Lu Luzeng, etc., and he plunged into the hundred workshops, and tinkered with things for women, and it is said that he had to squat in the workshop for at least four or five days every time. Unless there is something urgent, no one can see his figure.

"What the hell are you doing?" Opening a secret report from different sources and placing them side by side on the table, Li Hanqing rubbed his temples with his fingers and groaned.

According to common sense, he should be happy when his opponent's plaything is demoralized, however, Li Hanqing, who is known as a ghost, is not happy at all, on the contrary, he always feels cool on his back, as if there is a yin wind blowing non-stop, even when he is sleeping, he can't close his eyes with confidence.

That Zhu eighty-one in the making of a tool, can be called the world's first master, in order to get out safely, just took a useless copper handcuff to the other party as a gift, but never expected that just two or three months later, the bronze handcuff was reborn on the side of the Zhu butcher, turned into a bronze cannon that everyone heard of, and then in the battle of Shahe, the artillery smuggled from Huai'an suddenly became powerful, and the explosion caused Timur and his men to lose their armor first, and the 300,000 army was wiped out by Liu Futong. In the end, the only people who escaped from their lives were chatting with thousands of people, and everyone heard the sound of the cannonball, and they no longer dared to mention the word "going south".

Now, Zhu Butcher has plunged into the workshop again, who knows what kind of big killing weapon he will come up with, and all kinds of utensils he usually sees, including the scissors used by women, have been magnified in his mind more than ten times, and the ghost genius Li Hanqing can't guess what it is, it can be worth Zhu Butcher's effort, is there a weapon that is sharper than artillery and firecrackers, and it has to be on the woman's belongings, so how sharp is it, the butcher surnamed Zhu, he is from the Buddha of the Three Lives, What did they get, and how they walked every step so precisely, and walked so frighteningly, (Note 1)

Li Hanqing can only look for clues from the piles of secret reports, and the secret reports on the table involve a very miscellaneous area, covering almost all the things that may be related to Zhu Bayi in Huai'an, Gaoyou, and Yangzhou in the past month or so, including Huai'an military weapons to exchange food for friendly troops, using land to win over two allies of Sesame Li and Zhao Jun, and vigorously supporting Wang Kerou, Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Chongba, so that they can each be on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. Each has laid their own turf, forcing Dong Luxiao into a dilemma, etc., lest it be incomplete, lest it be not detailed.

"Foolish." A famous deceased probably couldn't understand Zhu Eighty-one's behavior of ceding the hard-earned territory and the sharp weapon of the town to others, and at the end of the secret report, he commented angrily.

"Phew, if this Zhu butcher is a fool, there is no smart person in the world." Li Hanqing grabbed this frivolous wording from the secret report, crumpled it into a ball three times and two times, and threw it into the brazier at his feet.

Since the first contact between the two sides, he has never underestimated Zhu Eighty-one, including the use of soldiers and strategy, in his eyes, the latter's various deeds are remarkable, showing honesty and honesty on the outside, and scheming inside, it is the unanimous evaluation of Zhu Eighty-one after two repeated studies between him and Toto, although this evaluation and many people, including Totoh's own brother Timur did not agree, but so far, no one has seen Zhu Butcher really suffer, on the contrary, those who think Zhu Butcher is stupid, or have become a pile of white bones, Either they have been pulled onto the thief ship by the Zhu butcher, and no one has really made a profit.

And the other secret reports on the table all verified the judgment of him and Totok, each one, on the surface, seems to be extremely normal, but the more carefully scrutinized, the more shocking.

"On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Diao Min Wei beat the drum and voiced his grievances in Yangzhou Mansion, suing Yangzhou tycoon Wu Tianliang for the crime of murder and seizure of property, the head of the Criminal Bureau, Yangzhou Governor Roben personally tried the case, the jury was thirteen, six people thought that Wu Tianliang's crime was not forgiven, and seven people insisted that Wei was falsely accused, and Wu Tianliang was acquitted."

"On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Ye Dexin, who joined the army, thoroughly investigated the acres of Yangzhou Road, Taizhou Confucian Wang Shouren gathered his neighbors to block it, Ye Dexin could not bear to kill and injure innocents, and retreated with hatred, on the thirtieth night of the lunar month, Zhu Liangzu led the army to break through Wang's village, killing Wang Shouren's whole family, on the second day of the first month, Wu Liangmou, the governor of Taizhou, led troops to rescue, Zhu Liangzu was defeated, and escaped into the Yangtze River."

"On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the gentry Qian million was killed by the rout on the way to the banquet, and the two sons and more than 30 servants accompanying him all died."

"On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Xuanzi porcelain kiln outside the city exploded, and the kiln owner Zhou De was affected by the flames and died on the spot."

"On the sixth day of the first month, Robben, who joined the army, registered all the porcelain kilns outside Yangzhou City, and found out that there were 73 ownerless kilns, all of which were owned by the government."

"On the twelfth day of the first month, the giant Wu Tianliang was afraid of crime, and his family went out to escape the disaster, the boat was sunk by the heavy artillery of the sailor on the Yangtze River, and sixty-two people of all ages were buried in the belly of the fish, and Zhu Qiang, the commander of the sailor, copied out the handwritten letter from the Yangzhou gentry to Dong Shuxiao on Wu Tianliang, and there were more than 40 families who signed it, and Zhu Butcher laughed and burned it."

"On the thirteenth day of the first month, Xu Shizhong, the grandson of the great Confucian Xu Heng, sold his property cheaply and took the whole family to visit friends in Jiangnan"

"On the fourteenth day of the first month, the squire Yang Quan moved his family to Bianliang"

"This guy, when did it become so ruthless." slapped himself hard, Li Hanqing forced himself to stay awake, not to summarize and see clearly, the more he summed up the recent things together, the more creepy he felt, in the month that Zhu Butcher hid himself in the hundred workshops, there were people with heads and faces in Yangzhou Road, and nearly thirty percent of them died, and two percent were afraid of being affected by the pond fish, so they abandoned the land and workshop, and moved their families to Jiangnan, and the result of this qiē guide zhì was that the gentry who were reluctant to leave prostrate themselves one after another, He no longer dared to cause any trouble to the Zhu butcher.

"On the sixteenth day of the first month, Jinshi Zheng Yuan dedicated more than 100,000 catties of grain to the government to help the victims.

"On the seventeenth day of the first month, Jinshi Zhang Zhenglin, Hurun and others jointly signed a letter, asking the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion to open the imperial examination again and give the rank of promotion to the civil relics"

"On the eighteenth day of the first month, Diao Min Liu's sued the cloth merchant Xu family for occupying the land and property, and the son was murdered, and the jurors unanimously agreed that Xu Xiaoxian, the son of the Xu family, was guilty, divided by hanging, and fined 100 yuan, as Liu's pension funds."
