Zheng Sanjun's clear-cut statement was different from the previous silent riding on the wall, which surprised Li Xin, so he asked in an inquiring tone: "At the moment when the military port exploded, the people in the city were panicked, and what should be the top priority as seen by the ministry?" ”

"Needless to say? Just wait for dawn to go to the street with the soap of Tianfu, beating gongs and drums to say only one thing, the military port caught fire last night, and the fire has been controlled, so that the people in the city are calm, even if someone wants to set off another storm, they can't! ”

"Good! Just according to the ministry hall! ”

Li Xinhuo stood up and shouted hello.

"One thing, and two more. In addition to calming the hearts of the people, it is also necessary to thoroughly investigate the cause of the explosion of the gunpowder magazine and find out the culprit in order to solve the suspicions of hundreds of officials, so that the crisis can be solved! ”

Zheng Sanjun seems to have taken the wrong medicine today, how can he build a few things, and all of them are said to be in the middle of the matter? This may be a form of overture. Thinking of these, Li Xin's heart suddenly moved, why not let Zheng Sanjun also participate, this person's qualifications are second to none in Nanjing, if he can stand up and participate in it at this critical moment, wouldn't it be more able to appease the suspicions of hundreds of officials?

"The ministry is graceful, Li Xin has a reluctant request!"

Zheng Sanjun was solemn for a while, and said with a straight face: "On this difficult autumn, the marquis of Zhenju doesn't have to be polite, if there is something to do, please command!" ”

Hearing that the other party was so open, Li Xin did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "Li Xin asked the ministry to take the lead and investigate the matter thoroughly with Zhu Yuncai, Langzhong of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. ”

"The old man is duty-bound!" Zheng Sanjun almost didn't even think about it before he immediately expressed his position. "It's just that the old man is not good at prison affairs, and he needs to have someone who specializes in this......"

Chen Wenshan, who was on the side, was stunned for a long time, surprised by the rapid change in Zheng Sanjun's attitude, but soon understood that this may be just one of the speculations in Zheng Sanjun's decades-long officialdom career. At the same time, he also secretly praised Zheng Sanjun's exquisite bachelor.

The Marquis of Zhenjun responded to Zheng Sanjun's statement with kindness, but Zheng Sanjun was very self-aware and took the initiative to show that he was only acting at the front desk, and it was the Marquis of Zhenjun who really took the idea.

"The ministry doesn't have to worry, Zhu Yuncai is specialized in this way, with the assistance of this person, Li Xin only hopes that the ministry will really want to make this case public one day sooner, whether it is an external thief or an internal thief!"

Li Xin is not afraid that Zheng Sanjun will get in the way, in addition to arranging Zhu Yuncai and Zheng Sanjun to do the investigation, he also relies on the internal investigation of the Three Guards Army done by Mi Yan, and it is not easy to fool himself if he wants to be light.

In addition, Li Xin also borrowed Zheng Sanjun, "In order to relieve the worries of the hundred officials, he also asked the ministry to summon the hundred officials and explain the ......situation."

"The old man saved, seeing that the sky was about to brighten, he said goodbye first......"

After Zheng Sanjun left, Li Xin also changed his original intention, and was not in a hurry to leave Ying Tianfu, but instead took this as his head and gave orders. On the one hand, he ordered the three guards who remained in the military camp in the south of the city to completely change the city gate where the chief soldier Shao Hualong was on duty, and ordered the three guards to be divided into teams of ten people to walk and patrol the important streets and alleys to prevent lawbreakers from making trouble.

After the rooster crowed three times, the soaps of Ying Tianfu rushed over with a head of fog, and most of these people were from the bed.

After Yin Chen Wenshan, Yin of the Heavenly Mansion, combined the hundreds of soaps in the mansion, stood on the steps, cleared his throat and shouted: "There is a fire in the military port outside the city, I'm afraid you also heard the wind last night, right?" Now that rumors are flying all over the city, it is the time for you to use them, so from now on you all go to the treasury to get gongs and drums, beat gongs and drums along the streets, and declare peace, do you understand? ”

A group of soaps have promised. Chen Wenshan told him how to shout again, and then he hurried to the street to appease people's hearts. At the end, Chen Wenshan did not forget to explain: "This matter is done, each person will be rewarded with one or two silver!" ”

The power of silver is infinite, and the slight dissatisfaction in the stomachs of these people was thrown out of the clouds, and they went happily one by one. The errand that Fuzun explained was not very difficult, wasn't it just beating gongs and drums and shouting for a day? It's easy to get a tael of silver, but it doesn't take much effort to get it.

With all kinds of prior arrangements, at noon, Li Xin's heart finally let go, the city of Nanjing was as usual, the officials did not take the opportunity to make trouble, the people were very stable, and occasionally a few people who took the opportunity to make trouble were also arrested by the three guards patrolling the street and put into the prison of Yingtianfu.

This is not without unexpected episodes, the Three Guards had some skirmishes when they changed guards with Shao Hualong's generals, and even used knives and guns, but fortunately there was no danger in the end, and the change of defense was completed. Only one of Shao Hualong's generals was slightly wounded.

However, Shao Hualong's actions still made Li Xin palpitate, there are thirteen city gates in the inner city of Nanjing, and there are eighteen city gates in the outer city. Among the city gates that were successfully replaced, there were five in the outer city, which was not surprising to Li Xin, due to the expansion of the Three Guards Army, a part of the new army was rotated to the garrison of the outer city, these people did not go through the war, and it is not surprising that they fell into Shao Hualong's tricks. And because the inner city was guarded by the old battalion of the Three Guards, none of them fell into the hands of Shao Hualong.

After learning this, Li Xin couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat in his palm, fortunately, Shao Hualong failed to earn the gate of the inner city, otherwise it is unknown whether he would be able to give orders again at this moment.

Although this Shao Hualong has no good impression of the Three Guards and Li Xin, he has never been inconspicuous, and he doesn't want to make a frightening move. It's just that he chose the wrong opponent, Li Xin's Three Guards Army has experienced a hundred battles, how can he let him succeed lightly?

Li Xin felt that it was necessary for him to order Shao Hualong and others to give him an explanation on this matter. Chen Wenzhi was beside Li Xin, and he suddenly found that the eyes of this always pleasant marquis of Zhenlu shot out of a cold light, which made him shudder.

"Come on!"

"Mark it in!"

As the temporary commander of the Marquis of Zhen, the Three Guards stationed 500 soldiers in Yingtianfu to protect them. A team officer came in at the call, and these people were all brought out by Niu Jinsong.

"Take your people and summon the chief soldier Shao Hualong to answer Tianfu's reply!"

The officer said yes and turned away, without even blinking an eye. looked at Chen Wenshan's heart beating in shock, and secretly wondered in his heart, is the Marquis of Zhenyu going to turn his face with Shao Hualong? But then I thought about it again, what Shao Hualong did was indeed excessive, wouldn't it be underestimated if he didn't fight back?

After figuring out these joints, Chen Wenshan had a faint hint of excitement in his heart, and as for what was hidden behind this excitement, he himself couldn't say very clearly for a while. just waited with anticipation, waiting to see Shao Hualong's jokes, Chen Wenzhi didn't think that this person had the capital to go against this black-hearted marquis who would repay him.

Half an hour has passed, and the person sent to summon Shao Hualong has not returned, and an hour has passed, and the person sent to summon Shao Hualong still has not moved. Li Xin's face was as usual, but Chen Wenshan, who was on the side, had already scratched his ears and cheeks. I was worried and speculated, but was it just some accident?

Faintly, he seemed to hear a few cannon shots, but when he listened closely, he couldn't hear anything. This Yingtianfu main hall is extremely quiet because of the presence of the Marquis of Zhenyu, including Chen Wenshan, who does not even dare to aggravate his wheezing, but he can hear any sound clearly. Chen Wenzhi listened carefully with his ears sideways for a long time, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

But before this breath could come out, he clearly heard the sound of a cannon in the distance.

Chen Wenshan's butt seemed to have a red-hot soldering iron under his buttocks, and the whole person suddenly bounced up, and said in a lost voice: "Cannon, cannon, cannon...... It's fired! ”

Li Xin didn't sleep all night, and at this time he closed his eyes on the chair to recuperate, in fact, he had already heard the sound of cannons outside, but these cannons were very familiar to him, and they were clearly the six-pounder guns of the Three Guards Artillery Battalion, so he was not worried. Only Chen Wenshan, where did he know, he couldn't hold his breath for a long time, and jumped up and down.

"Panic? Chen Fuzun is also Ying Tianfu Yin, and he can't hold his breath when he encounters a little thing, so what should your subordinates do? ”

Li Xin deliberately did not tell Chen Wenshan the truth about the cannon, but instead took the opportunity to rebuke him a few words. A few words of reproach made Chen Wenshan's sweat suddenly, although he was attached to the marquis of Zhenju, but he had never been reprimanded by the other party, and today he was suddenly reprimanded, and he felt ashamed and confused.

Chen Wenshan's heart is like a mirror, the Marquis of Zhenyu has promoted himself to the position of Dao Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin under strong pressure, but he is not allowed to be a vegetarian meal, but now that there is a sudden change, if he doesn't take responsibility, wouldn't he even look down on himself?

As soon as he thought of this, although Chen Wenzhi was still apprehensive, he still sat back in his chair, and he saw that the Marquis of Zhenyu had closed his eyes again, and he was fine in the chair. He was impatient, maybe something happened outside, no matter what, he had to come up with a countermeasure and a way to deal with it? No matter how bad it is, you have to understand the situation first, what's the matter if you don't hear it like this?

He mustered up the courage for a long time, and just wanted to ask something, but suddenly he woke up like a dream. How could the Marquis of Zhenyu ever do something that he was not sure of? The reason why he is indifferent is that maybe he has already made a bamboo in his chest! The reason why I don't speak clearly to myself is maybe, maybe I am sharpening myself, and I am also testing myself...... Thinking of this, Chen Wenshan's head broke out sweating again, and he was secretly glad that he didn't speak lightly just now.

Sure enough, just when Chen Wenzhi was thinking in private, there were hurried and determined footsteps outside, and it turned out to be three or five people coming together, and after a while, the voice of the soldiers sounded outside the door.
