After capturing the assassin, Zhu Biao and his party tied up the assassin and rode with Lu Fang for two nights, and in the early morning of that day, they came to Hongzhou Mansion (now Nanchang City). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Biao and the others went straight to Hongzhou when they arrived in Hongzhou. As soon as Zhu Biao arrived in Hongzhou, he first instructed Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi brothers to imprison Princess Jinzhi in the back hall of the yamen, and then sat in the hall of the Hongzhou Mansion and waited for the officials of the Hongzhou Mansion to come to pay respects.

As soon as the prefect of Hongzhou heard that a senior member of the imperial court had come to the local area, he hurriedly summoned all the officials of Hongzhou to come to the Hongzhou Mansion to pay homage.

When the officials of Hongzhou met with Zhu Biao, they learned that it was the head of the Liangshan thieves who had come, and the privy envoy of the current dynasty, Zhu Biao, the Jiedu envoy of the Liangshan Special Administrative Region, was stunned.

But at this moment, the "thief leader" is already sitting in the hall, and these court officials are paying homage, what can they say?

After the officials finished worshipping, they sat on both sides, and Zhu Biao sat on the top of the hall and said: "This privy envoy sent an edict to the south this time, just to suppress the square la, and then build a peaceful and prosperous world, but two days ago at night, someone took advantage of the official's rest to send assassins to try to assassinate the official. As he spoke, Zhu Biao's sharp gaze swept across the officials in the audience, and then continued: "This assassin has been interrogated overnight, and she herself confessed that it was a certain official in Hongzhou who spent a lot of money and asked her to do it, but it is clearly against the holy decree of the saint, and I think all the officials know the purpose of this official's southward trip, and if they want to murder this official, could it be that it is related to Fang Lana?" ”

The governor of Hongzhou asked: "Privy envoy Xianggong, what ...... Did the Assassin say what was the name of the person who instructed her? As long as the name is known, the lower officials will definitely find out the scum of this thief and bring him to justice. ”

"Hey—" Zhu Biao sighed, "But this assassin just doesn't tell the name of the person who instructed her." ”

When the officials in Hongzhou heard this, they all looked at me, and I looked at you: how is it possible? Since the assassin said that it was instructed by the Hongzhou official, how could he not tell the official's name?

Zhu Biao looked at the expressions of the Hongzhou officials and knew that they didn't believe his words. But he didn't care, because the officials present were actually controlled by him, and if anyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, he could immediately say that this person was the mastermind behind his assassination, and easily kill this person on trumped-up charges. Zhu Biaozhi did this, the purpose is very simple, because they have been on the road for two nights, although they can rest during the day, but the rest is not steady, now they need a good rest the most, want to rest, Hongzhou Mansion is the safest place. The reason why it is said that this place is safe, Zhu Biao expected that even if this assassin had an accomplice, he would never dare to come to the government to assassinate him, nor would he dare to come to the government to save their accomplices. But at the same time, this is also the most dangerous place, no matter what, the imperial court hates him more than Fang La, and wants to kill him more, so he can only control the officials of Hongzhou Mansion, he can sleep here peacefully, and then he can continue to hurry at night.

At this time, an official from Hongzhou stood up and said: "The privy envoy is the minister, and the lower officials still have some official affairs to deal with, and the lower officials will retire first." ”

Zhu Biao looked at this official and smiled coldly: "Okay, the mastermind behind the assassination of this official has finally jumped out - come on, take her down for this official!" ”

The two brothers, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, who were standing in front of the Yamen lobby, jumped out and pressed the official to the ground, one left and one right.

Du Yan asked: "Say, why did you assassinate the privy envoy, did you want to secretly communicate with Fang La, intending to rebel!" ”

"The privy envoy is wronged!" The official shouted blankly.

Du Yan said: "What? Is the privy envoy wronged? The privy envoy Xiang Gong was indeed wronged, and the Xiang Gong led the Liangshan brothers to fight with Fang La's thieves in front, but you beasts teamed up with Fang La, trying to murder the Jie Du Envoy Xiang Gong, how could the Privy Envoy Xiang Gong not be wronged? ”

"No, that's not what Xia Guan meant."

"Privy Councillor, you may be mistaken." At this time, Hongzhou Zhizhou stood up and arched his hand: "This person is an official under Ben Zhizhou, who is conscientious and cautious in his daily life, how can he be in collusion with the thief?" Husband, you must be mistaken. ”

Zhu Biao said coldly: "But has he colluded with the thieves, when the official has not left Hongzhou, no one is allowed to leave the yamen." Someone—"

Ruan Xiaowu Ruan Xiaoqi said: "The end will be!" ”

Zhu Biao said: "The two of you will guard the main gate here for the official, but if one person dares to leave here for half a step, he will be dealt with with the same thief and the law on the spot!" ”

"Where are Lu Fang and Guo Sheng?" Zhu Biao asked again.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, who were standing behind Zhu Biao, stood in front of Zhu Biao together, and said in unison: "The end will be!" ”

Zhu Biao said: "There is a back door in the yamen of this state capital, if anyone wants to go out through this back door, if you don't cut off his head, I will cut off your head!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

As soon as Zhu Biao's words came out, the officials present knew that they had actually been put under house arrest by this Liangshan thief.

Then, Zhu Biao yawned: "Everyone, you stand here for a while, and when the official wakes up, you can go back." With that, Zhu Biao put a pair of legs on the desk of Lord Zhizhou's office, leaned back on the chair, and fell asleep.

In the evening, Zhu Biao stretched his waist and woke up slowly. The sky was fine, and the bright light of the sunset came in from the window, reflecting the orange and red on the desk of the state master's office.

After Zhu Biao got up, he saw Du Bian Xiang standing beside him, his eye sockets were deep, obviously he had been standing beside him and had not rested. Zhu Biao stood up, gently patted Du Yan and Bian Xiang's shoulders, and said softly: "Brother Du, Brother Bian, it's hard work." ”

Du Yan bent down slightly and arched his hand: "This is all as it should be." ”

Bian Xiang shouted: "Don't say kind words, you sleep well, it's time for us to sleep." ”

Du Yan said: "No, we have to travel overnight, and the sooner we get to our own territory, we will be safer." ”

Then, Zhu Biao said to the two soldiers beside him: "You go to the street to buy steamed buns now, the more the better, and keep them for eating on the road." ”

The two soldiers arched their hands and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Biao approached the Hongzhou Zhizhou, who had been kneeling on the ground, and said: "Zhizhou Xianggong, this time the official will pass through your land, and he will be entertained, and when my two brothers go to buy steamed buns and come back, the official should also go, but——"

The governor of Hongzhou was under house arrest for a day, and he was just about to say embarrassedly: "Go slowly"

I heard Zhu Biao say again: "It's just that I have to ask Lord Zhizhou to give our brother a ride." ”

"How to send you?"

"It's very simple, just send us out of Hongzhou City."

"But ......"

"No, but, if the governor insists on 'but', then don't blame me for wishing someone unsympathetic."

The governor of Hongzhou had long heard that Zhu Biao was a thief who killed people without blinking, and since he had already said this, he dared to refuse, and hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and said: "Then the lower official will personally send the privy envoy out of the city to show his admiration."
