Chapter 808: Siege
The pigeon landed on the window and looked around.
Chong Guogong sat on the chair, his face gloomy and almost dripping ink.
The secret guard Li Zhong went over and grabbed the pigeon, looking at the pigeon's ankle, Li Zhong said, "Grandpa Guo, it's news from Zhangzhou." ”
"Show it to me," Chongguo said hurriedly.
Since the Dongxiang Marquis invited to play, the emperor rewarded Zhangzhou to Su Jin as a fief.
Zhangzhou has become a heart disease of Chongguo Gong.
These days, there has been no news from Zhangzhou, and he is having trouble sleeping.
Now that Zhangzhou has sent news, why isn't Chongguo in a hurry?
Li Zhong sent the letter to Chongguo Gong.
Chongguo Gong hurriedly opened it.
After a glance, Chong Guogong stood up from his chair.
The face was ugly, even a little uglier than when I saw the prince of Chongguo being beheaded in public.
After knowing that Dongxiang Hou had a premeditated seizure of Zhangzhou, Chongguo Gong felt uneasy.
Hurriedly sent people to Zhangzhou to deal with the aftermath.
Before sending people, fly pigeons to Zhangzhou.
Although Dongxiang Hou sent someone to Zhangzhou to help Princess Duanhui move, Xie Jingchen only confirmed that there was an iron mine in Zhangzhou and someone opened it privately.
The rest, Xie Jingchen didn't know anything.
Whether the iron ore was sold, or whether it was used to make weapons, no one knows.
Dongxiang Hou sent the Flying Tiger Army to find out about the matter, second, to take over the iron mine, and then to look at the Duanhui Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Concealing the imperial court and opening a mine without permission is not a light crime.
Even if Princess Duanhui does not die, all the family property will be confiscated and filled into the treasury.
Zhangzhou is a bit far from Kyoto, and it is too easy to hide some farm shops before the people from the imperial court arrive.
It's those things that are the most valuable.
The Marquis of Dongxiang sent 800 Flying Tiger troops to Zhangzhou.
In order not to startle the snakes, they left Beijing in batches under the pretext that they were about to go to the border to fight and let them return to their hometowns to visit relatives.
The Flying Tiger Army arrived in Zhangzhou one after another.
Most of them were still outside Zhangzhou City, and only a dozen Flying Tiger soldiers entered the city in disguise and quietly investigated.
After all, it will take some time for the imperial court to reward Su Jin from Zhangzhou to arrive in Zhangzhou.
Before the notice was posted, Zhangzhou was still the territory of the eldest princess Duanhui.
It's just that the crime of opening a mine without permission is not small, and the slightest carelessness is a capital crime.
Those who do it are cautious and cautious.
The Flying Tigers investigated for several days and found nothing.
Fortunately, the whereabouts of the iron ore were finally found, and the iron ore was smelted into weapons.
The Flying Tiger Army did not move, besieged the city of Zhangzhou, and as soon as the imperial decree arrived, it officially entered the city to take over Zhangzhou.
And yet—
At this time, Chongguo Gong's flying pigeon passed on arrived.
The manager of Zhangzhou wanted to transport the smelted iron ore and weapons away, but he was afraid that Zhangzhou would already be targeted.
rushed out, just happened to be caught.
The person in charge of Zhangzhou is a smart man, and he makes a false move.
He used seven or eight wagons to transport more than 20 large boxes out of the city in the dark.
He was surrounded by people ten miles from Zhangzhou City.
The big, heavy-looking boxes were filled with stones.
The Flying Tigers are exposed.
The hurried fire of the Zhangzhou steward was in a hurry.
In a hurry, the decisiveness of the Zhangzhou steward asked people to burn all the weapons that could be burned, and those that could not be burned were thrown into the lotus pond and hidden.
Overnight, a warehouse full of weapons was emptied.
The next day, the imperial decree arrived in Kyoto.
The Flying Tigers enter the city.
The Flying Tigers are not people who can turn, and after two days outside the city, they have worn out their patience.
Immediately surrounded the place where the weapons were hidden.
The Flying Tigers went in to arrest people.
went straight to the armory, looked at the empty warehouse, and couldn't find a weapon after digging three feet into the ground, and the Flying Tiger Army was stunned.
The manager of Zhangzhou asked the Flying Tiger Army to give an explanation, even if Zhangzhou had been rewarded by the emperor to Princess Jinning, this house was also a private house, and without a search warrant, the Flying Tiger Army could not trespass on the private house.
The prefect of Zhangzhou came to persuade peace, and he knew that this mansion belonged to Princess Duanhui.
The Flying Tiger Army is from the Marquis of Dongxiang.
Now Zhangzhou is the territory of Princess Jinning and the daughter of the Marquis of Dongxiang, and I don't know if he, the prefect of Zhangzhou, can continue to do it.
On one side is the old master who has been degraded, and on the other side is the new master.
It's not good to be caught in the middle.
Without evidence, the Flying Tiger Army had no choice but to leave.
As soon as the Zhangzhou steward breathed a sigh of relief, the Flying Tiger Army found that something was wrong.
The Flying Tigers once visited this courtyard at night, and when they passed by the garden, they saw the maid stepping on a stone.
Now the stone has been flooded.
The water level was a head higher.
There has been no rain in Zhangzhou in the past few days, and it must be unusual for this change to occur suddenly.
There's something in the water!
Most of the Flying Tigers are good at water, and they immediately jumped into the water and lifted all the iron and weapons hidden in the water.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the manager of Zhangzhou pulled out the soft sword on his waist, killed the two small fights around him, and jumped to escape.
The Flying Tiger Army is guarding outside the courtyard, can he escape?
The manager of Zhangzhou saw that he couldn't escape, so he wiped his neck directly.
The weapons built in Zhangzhou over the past year have all fallen into the hands of the Flying Tiger Army.
Seeing Chongguogong's ugly face, Li Zhong sighed in his heart.
It was not easy to help Princess Duanhui keep her position as the county lord.
Now that the matter in Zhangzhou has been exposed, I am afraid that even a small life may not be saved.
Fortunately, the matter of weapons was secret, and the manager of Zhangzhou not only committed suicide, but also killed the insider.
Even if the emperor and the Marquis of Dongxiang guessed that this matter was related to the King of Qi, there was no evidence.
Especially when Nanliang is eyeing the tiger, the emperor will definitely try his best to stabilize King Qi to avoid internal and external troubles.
Chongguo Gong was not worried about King Qi.
After all, King Qi was far away in the fiefdom, and once something happened in Kyoto, he would naturally receive the news.
If something happens to them, they can still point to King Qi to save them.
Now the eldest princess Duanhui is the meat on the chopping board of Dongxiang Hou.
He had to find a way to save her.
The Queen Mother was hit one after another, and her body bones were not as good as before.
If Princess Duanhui has another accident, the Queen Mother doesn't know what will happen.
They also need the Queen Mother to sit in the palace, and the Queen Mother must not collapse!
Chongguo Gong wants to get up.
It's just that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, Li Zhong held him, "Grandpa Guo......." ”
Chongguo raised his hand to stop him.
Standing on the desk for a while, Chongguo Gong stepped out of the study.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, a small man rode over and said happily, "Grandpa Guo, King Qi has returned to Beijing." ”
Not only are the little guys who tell you happy, but the gatekeepers of the Chongguo Mansion are also happy.
The grandfather of their country was almost out of breath when he was suppressed by the Marquis of Dongxiang.
Now Ding is worried at home, and the Dongxiang Marquis in the court covers the sky with one hand.
Now that the King of Qi is back, there is still a share of his Dongxiang Marquis?!
The little guys couldn't wait to see the scene where King Qi suppressed the Marquis of Dongxiang and made Chongguo Gong angry.
However, when Chongguo Gong heard the news, his face turned pale.
His body shook, if Li Zhong hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen.
Chongguogong's eyes darkened.
Why did King Qi come back?!
After the accident in Zhangzhou, didn't he send him a letter asking him not to return to Beijing?!
