CHAPTER XXV
How could the empty-handed students be able to resist the slash of the war knife, and in the blink of an eye, the two students fell in a pool of blood, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Wang Pu was shocked when he saw it, and shouted, "Stop, stop...... ”
But I don't know if it's because the people are noisy and can't be heard, or if they are too involved, the entourage who slashed and killed with knives didn't react, and kept chasing and killing those students.
Wang Pu Dahan, in broad daylight, as an envoy of the Zhou State in the Ming State official post in public killing, this is not only a criminal case, but also will inevitably cause diplomatic disputes, then it will really be mud falling in the crotch of his pants, not is.
At this moment, seeing that the envoy of the Zhou State dared to kill people with a knife in public, not only were the students and the people even more angry when they were stopped by the defenders, but even the defenders who were originally blocking the crowd no longer stopped them, and rushed towards Wang Pu and others with their knives.
The situation had become out of control, and the three entourages that stood in the way of Wang Pu were instantly overwhelmed by the rush of people, and Wang Pu only then woke up and turned around and fled inward.
At this time, Zhou Xingfeng, who was ordered by Baili Wuji to come to support the guard of the official post, led the Royal Forest Army to the official post. Zhou Xingfeng saw that the situation was so serious, and immediately ordered the Imperial Forest Army to quickly intersperse and divide the crowd, suppress the chaos and then interrogate carefully, this matter has developed into a bloody incident, Zhou Xingfeng did not dare to be arbitrary, on the one hand, he sent someone to report that he was unscrupulous, and on the other hand, he ordered several Royal Forest Army to fire a warning shot into the sky.
The huge sound of the musket shocked everyone present, and the clothing of the Imperial Forest Army shocked the crazy students and people, in the Ming Kingdom, no student will not respect Baili Wuji, in the hearts of the students of the Ming Kingdom, Baili Wuji is an omnipotent god.
The arrival of the Imperial Guards instantly controlled the deterioration of the situation. The crowd began to subside, and thousands of people fell silent.
At this time, Zhou Xingfeng found the three students and the four envoys of the Zhou Kingdom who were lying in a pool of blood. Zhou Xingfeng hurriedly summoned a military doctor to rescue.
After a while, when the military doctor arrived, the first two students who were slashed to death were no longer breathless, and two of the four Zhou envoys had also died, and the retinue who slashed people with knives was one of them.
Zhou Xingfeng ordered the three wounded to be quickly escorted to the Royal Forest Army barracks, ordered the Royal Forest Army to quickly search for Wang Pu, who had fled in the post house, and began to interrogate everyone at the scene in turn.
Baili Wuji is convincing Xu Shiming and the three. was shocked when he received the report from the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, and hurriedly rushed to the scene with Xu Shiming and others and his personal guards.
By the time Baili Wuji arrived, Zhou Xingfeng had already sorted out the beginning and end of today's incident. Wang Pu, who was hiding in the pavilion, was also captured and was being interrogated.
Seeing Baili Wuji coming in person, Zhou Xingfeng stepped forward to salute, and the students who were surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army were like seeing a savior. They fell to their knees. Cry to Baili Wuji.
The scene was chaotic again, Baili Wuji glanced at it expressionlessly, raised his hand and pressed, the students began to shut up, and there was no other sound in the scene except for suppressed sobbing.
Baili Wuji turned his head and asked Zhou Xingfeng: "Can the matter be concluded?" ”
Zhou Xingfeng said: "Back to the emperor, the minister has asked the relevant people, etc., and the record is here." ”
Baili Wuji took the transcript presented by Zhou Xingfeng. I was shocked that I had already died. There were also two students among them, which made Baili Wuji very angry.
He pinched the pen and slowly walked in front of Wang Pu.
"Wang Langzhong, you came to Jinling to kill my student?" Baili Wuji asked coldly.
Wang Pu was already frightened, not afraid of being killed by Baili Wuji, he was not afraid of death, and as long as Ming and Zhou did not declare war, Baili Wuji would not be able to kill the envoy of Zhou, Wang Pu was frightened that today's changes were too abnormal, and the situation became out of control in the blink of an eye, and what made Wang Pu most shocked was that his entourage actually killed people with knives, and he did not listen to his orders to stop.
"Your Majesty Mingguo Rong reported, the foreign minister has no intention of offending the Ming country, the incident happened suddenly, the foreign minister has ordered the entourage to stop, but he does not obey, and please Ming Guo Your Majesty to see."
Baili Wuji also felt confused in his heart, when he met with Chai Rong, he had made it clear that he would give up this proposal, but after Chai Rong returned to China, he brought up the old things again, which was a good thing, but now it has become unmanageable, there are too many things to figure out, it stands to reason that if Zhou Guo refuses to agree to his proposal, he will ignore it at all, and he will specially send an envoy to come. If there is a conspiracy, then what good will it do to Zhou Guo by killing a few Ming students? In addition to breaking the alliance between the Ming and Zhou states, the Zhou State did not have any benefits, or even disadvantages, at least, the Zhou State could no longer get the support of the Ming State, so under the attack of the blocking and Liao army, the Zhou State was killing itself.
Besides, even if there is a conspiracy, why did Chai Rong send Wang Pu here, at least Baili Wuji knew that Wang Pu was Chai Rong's confidant, and the first time they met in Xuzhou, Chai Rong brought Wang Pu, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zheng En to come, so it can be seen that Wang Pu's status in Chai Rong's heart. In addition, Wang Pu, a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, why does he have the idea of killing students with a knife.
There are too many questions to figure out, and Baili Wuji doesn't want to stay here.
Baili Wuji turned around and said to the students and people who were bowing down: "I already know about this matter, but the reason for it has not yet been investigated, you and the others go back first, and I will give you an explanation for this matter." Let's disperse. ”
The students and people who had received the emperor's promise began to disperse, but the students who were close to the dead and wounded remained in place.
They cried: "Your Majesty, they died unjustly, and ask the Emperor to avenge them." ”
Baili Wuji responded: "I will find out the reason and give justice to the deceased, you go back and convey this to the students of the academy, and also to the relatives of the deceased." ”
"The students obeyed." The people on the scene came and went quickly, and for a while, there were only the Imperial Forest Army and Baili Wuji left.
Wang Pu saw that the crowd had dispersed, and he was about to talk to Baili Wuji.
But was stopped by Baili Wuji, "Wang Langzhong, as you are the envoy of the Zhou State, I should not have detained you, but the murderer is from the Zhou State, and the knife that killed the person is the knife of the Zhou State, I must find out the facts, first wronged you to stay in the palace, and then I will deal with it when the matter is clarified." I will send a messenger to inform Zhou Guo, you can enter the palace with me with peace of mind. ”
Wang Pu naturally didn't want to go back with this great responsibility, which he couldn't explain to Chai Rong and the court of Zhou, "The foreign minister respectfully obeys the order of His Majesty Mingguo, and the foreign minister must cooperate with the inquiry, know everything, and say everything." ”
So, Baili Wuji ordered Zhou Xingfeng to bring back the Imperial Forest Army, and he took everyone and Wang Pu back to the palace.
"Are you sure these four followers are identified?" In the study, Baili Wuji personally interrogated Wang Pu, Xu Shiming and other three jurors.
"Back to Your Majesty Mingguo, the foreign minister has repeatedly confirmed, that's right." (To be continued......)
