"Okay, don't talk about these, dare to ask the two of you, why didn't the rebels attack Teng County, which was closer, but instead took a long detour to attack Yu and the two of you." Zhao Ming continued to ask.

"It's... Xia Guan didn't know what the rebels thought. "Erguan sweats like rain.

"Don't know? Well, I'll tell you! Because you two don't give food to the victims! stains, the rebels don't do it, what good things to do. ”

"Wronged! The lower officials have food in the city! Don't listen to those rebellious words! The two county commanders were so frightened that they both knelt down and explained bitterly.

"In the city? Putting grain and starving people to death? And what about outside the city? ”

"The lower officials have done their best, the two counties do not have much food in stock, and it is only a few days to go all out to treat the victims. It is better to let the people in the city live. ”

"Oh? As far as I know, the imperial court has allocated a large amount of grain and grass to protect the victims. At this time, Zhao Ming's voice was fierce, pressing step by step, "What about those grains and grass?" ”

The two of them were so frightened by Zhao Ming that they trembled, and they couldn't help but look up at their top boss Li Huai.

Li Huai squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "Your Highness is asking you, what do you want me to do?" Think clearly and answer well! ”

The two immediately lowered their heads, and kept knocking their heads on the ground, and one of them replied with courage: "The grain and grass have been in the Changping warehouse for a long time, and then they were robbed by the rebels." ”

"Why don't you put food! Watch the victims starve to death! Zhao Ming even picked up a wine glass and smashed it, and the younger county magistrate was smashed to the point of blood, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

"Your Highness, these two people have food and are extremely derelict in their duties. If the lower officials do not check for a while, please deal with it with Your Highness. Li Huai couldn't let Zhao Ming ask any more, for fear that the two of them would not be able to bear it. And he walked out of the banquet and knelt down in the middle of the hall. These two people have to be protected, in case they shake out their orders, then he Li Huai is also in danger of his life.

Seeing Li Huai kneeling in the hall, none of the officials present dared to sit down anymore, and they all walked into the middle hall and knelt down together.

The second county commander also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although a dereliction of duty did not protect his official position, he finally had a life to enjoy the money he received. As long as you follow Master Li, it can be regarded as leaving a good path for your juniors.

"Hahaha." Zhao Ming laughed three times and stood up from the banquet, "Are you forcing the palace?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials are not good at discipline, and I ask His Royal Highness to punish them!" Although Li Huai was kneeling, his waist was still straight and unyielding. What qualifications do you, Zhao Ming, a little prince, have to punish him, the feudal official, the lord of a state. Today, if you Zhao Ming don't let me go, I won't be able to get off the stage!

"Hmm." Zhao Ming nodded seriously, "Since your request is so sincere, wouldn't I look down on you if I didn't agree?" Feng Wu! ”

"The end will be." After the noisy sound of ascending the building, Feng Wu took thirty Shenwu soldiers to the second floor in full gear. The Shenwu Army is even more powerful and strings up the crossbow in a circle, as long as anyone has any abnormal movement, they will shoot here!

"Take them all down and interrogate them separately!"

"Zhao Minger dare!" Li Huai was shocked and angry, this Zhao Ming was obviously prepared, he was deceived, "I am a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, who dares to take me without a holy decree!" ”

"Divine decree? Of course! Zhao Ming took the holy decree that he had forged a long time ago from his entourage and announced it in public.

I heard that the holy decree clearly said that Li Huai of Xiping Zhizhou should be thoroughly investigated. Li Huai finally collapsed to the ground, all this is unreasonable! As soon as he received the official letter saying that he would be transferred to Beijing, it means that he was not found in the imperial court. How could there be a decree to arrest him?

Even if it is captured, it should not be a prince with troops, this is not in accordance with the rules! Everything is strange. What the hell is wrong there? He could not have imagined that this decree was false. A prince pretends to pass on a holy decree, is this a rebellion?

"Leave twenty men to watch over the gang. If there is a person who speaks to each other, he will be killed on the spot! "Zhao Ming didn't have time to pay attention to the fish on these boards, there were still two thousand state soldiers outside the city was a hidden danger.

"Feng Wu, quickly go and open the city gate to receive the Shenwu army outside the city to enter the city and control the four gates. At the same time, the state soldiers outside the city were ordered to be stationed on the spot, and anyone who went out was regarded as a rebel! Take it! Zhao Ming looked at the general who let him into the city today.

The general's face was ashen, and all the officials of rank were here. There was only one lieutenant general left in the barracks, and even the news couldn't be delivered.

And his own life is in the hands of others, I am afraid that if he does not cooperate, he will die immediately. The difference is that the collar talisman will be found on his corpse, and the state soldier general desperately took out the herald tiger talisman from his bosom.

"Wei Ziqi, I'll leave it to you here!" Zhao Ming walked downstairs, and didn't remember until the staircase, "That's right, Li Huai." Lord Zhang Zhao of Ningxian County asked me to greet you! ”

I see! That Zhang Zhao escaped the siege! Also connect with this Zhao Ming! Is this the heavens going to kill me? There is also Wei Ziqi, a fish that slipped through the net!

"Yes. Your Highness. Wei Ziqi raised his left hand, which was missing two fingers, and smiled at Li Huai after Zhao Ming left, "Thank you Li Fuzun for taking care of him some time ago, and now Wei has come to Lord Li with seven hundred souls to repay his kindness!" ”

"Humph!" Li Huai snorted and said no more, although he was flustered, he was not at the point of despair. The people who handled this matter were all his confidants, and even the order not to release food was only dictated, and no paper was left as an order. As long as his henchmen don't retract his confession, then Zhao Ming can't do anything about him.

If the subordinate retracts the confession? Do they have that guts? In any case, is it possible to save one's life by taking the initiative to confess as a beneficiary of benefits? Amusing! He had already dissected these clearly for his henchmen.

There is still a glimmer of life in the stubborn resistance, and if the facts are revealed, it will be the end of all deaths. He believes that his henchmen can think it through! Li Huai closed his eyes, come on, Zhao Ming! I underestimated you before! Let you take the lead, don't worry! The competition has just begun!

The dragons were leaderless, and the capture of the city gate went smoothly. Zhao Ming casually taught Feng Wu that he wanted to go outside to arrange military affairs, so he deceived the city gate that was not guarded by the main general, and the nine hundred Shenwu troops waiting outside the city controlled the four city gates of Xiping Mansion in just half an hour, and collected the weapons of the soldiers guarding the city.

On the way back to the mansion, Feng Wu also asked worriedly: "Zhao Ming, although our army has controlled the four gates. But tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that the state soldiers outside the city will feel wrong, and all the officials in the city will be arrested by you, and the government affairs will be paralyzed. If that Li Huai still has manpower in the city. I am afraid that it will incite the people to create chaos. ”

"If it causes a confrontation with the state soldiers, I am afraid that the chaos in the city will be too big. It's hard to explain when you return to Beijing. ”

"Yo, it's rare, use your brain!" After eating Feng Wu's sword hilt and hitting him directly, Zhao Ming's face was distorted in pain, this female man really didn't take it lightly, "So, tonight and one night, I want them to reveal the truth and explain everything!" ”

"One night? It's too short. The torture extorted confessions for only one night, and I knew that if I said it, I would die, but I was afraid that it would be too late. Feng Wu said worriedly.

"Hehe, how outdated is the method of extorting confessions by torture, when the time comes, they will retract their confessions and say that I have been beaten into a trick, and the trouble will be too great!"

"And what are you going to do?"

"Acting, coercing confessions is not as good as acting. It's time to show off my Oscar-winning acting skills! Zhao Ming shook his head proudly.

"Acting?" Feng Wu tilted her head and looked at Zhao Ming, as for what Oscar was, she directly ignored it, knowing that it was useless nonsense.

Zhao Ming pouted, Feng Wu is not good at this, there is no humor at all. At this time, he missed his cousin Xiao Bo who returned to the Jingzhai Army, and he would definitely notice it if he was there.

"Look."

Back at the mansion, Wei Ziqi had already taken all the prisoners to the mansion and imprisoned them separately according to Zhao Ming's order. All the unqualified servants of the government were driven out, and the women and children were gathered in one room.

The Shenwu Army officially took over the mansion, and the main culprit Li Huai was taken to the backyard of the mansion by Wei Ziqi alone, and his hands were tied and kneeling in the backyard lobby. He stood aside and waited for Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming waved away many guards, leaving only Wei Ziqi and Feng Wu. Li Huai, a step man, found a chair in front of him and sat down: "Let's talk about it, Master Li." Save me a lot of effort. ”

"Xia Guan has nothing to say. Your Highness, don't waste your efforts. Li Huai stood up and looked up at the yellow-haired boy in front of him with contempt.

"Oh, aren't you afraid of the pain of flesh and skin?" Zhao Ming stopped Wei Ziqi from stepping forward and planning to use force to make Li Huai kneel, and asked lightly.

"Is this the only means for children? Let the horses come. ”

"Your life is now in my hands, and even the lives of your family are in my hands, so I am not afraid of provoking me and slaughtering your family! Oh, your daughter is so cute. Zhao Ming's tone was light, but the content in it made people shudder.

Especially Wei Ziqi was shouting in his heart, here, here again. The devilish Six Highnesses!

"Hehe, Your Highness. How do you explain to the court when you kill me? There is no evidence to kill a state governor in vain? Even if you are the prince, you can't stop the court from crashing, right? exchanged Li's family for a prince with a scheming future, and Li died without regrets. ”

Li Huai smiled strangely, "Besides, people die like lights going out." When I die, it's a flood. Your Highness may do it, it is better to kill your daughter in front of your subordinates! ”

Hiss! Feng Wu and Wei Ziqi gasped, what kind of person is this. Even his own daughter died in front of him. What about human nature? So ruthless, both to others and to yourself! There is a scoundrel who Liu Bang cooked his father's soup back then.

The two of them paid for themselves, and they couldn't do it themselves!

"Wonderful! It's so exciting! Master Li really didn't disappoint me! Zhao Ming stood up and patted his palms vigorously, with a look of appreciation, "Everything is not moved in the heart, and people who do great things are talents." I can't help but want to say goodbye to you. ”

"Your Highness is not bad, pretending to be stupid and stunned is first-class. The means of preemptive strikes are clean and neat. Admire, admire! ”

The two of them, who were still tense just now, praised each other like old friends who had known each other for many years. Let the two people on the side look dumbfounded, one said to kill your whole family, and the other said to kill it, please let me enjoy it together. Perverted, all perverted.

Zhao Ming gestured outward, and not long after, a high-pitched scream came from the outer hall, with a hint of blood and several familiar exclamations from Li Huai.

Zhao Ming's face was extremely sincere, and he said seriously to Li Huai: "I'm sorry, Master Li, you are dead!" ”
