Chapter 72: Pig Teammates
Xia Min was still lying lazily on the dragon chair, without any superfluous movements, but the expression on his face turned into mockery. "Lord Wang, there are ......" Zhou Zheng bowed and said. "If there's anything else, let's talk about it, let everyone present listen to it. Xia Min smiled lightly, half-squinted his eyes, and shook Erlang's legs.
"During the investigation and evidence collection, thirteen wealthy businessmen and six officials blocked them in every possible way, and then they were ordered by the leader of the forbidden army to directly punish the nine clans. ”
When Zhou Zheng said this, his face changed slightly, those people were killed directly in front of his eyes, and the blood was splashed all over his body. The rest of the officials all had panicked expressions, the so-called three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, thousands of miles for officials only for money. It can be said that of all the officials present, almost none of them were absolutely clean, and it was only a difference in the degree of corruption.
"Together with the nine clans of these rebels, the forbidden army killed more than 1,400 people yesterday. After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, those people are innocent, they were killed like that, this ......" Get up and stand aside." Xia Min waved his arms impatiently: "Innocent? Seeing evil and not retribution, it is equivalent to conspiring with them, you actually say that they are innocent? Maybe what they eat and drink is the money they received from your parents." ”
"Pass the decree, let the leader of the forbidden army in the next arrest, if there is any resistance, directly kill. Seeing the frightened eyes of many officials, Xia Min smiled lightly: "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes, don't you say?"
"......" no one answered, they were not in the mood to speak at all. "Forget it, Lone is still a good person. Xia Min said lightly: "Spread the decree, from this time on, if there are giant businessmen or officials who are willing to voluntarily donate half of their property, they will not be blamed in the past." "The prince is wise. ”
Many officials were all happy, and immediately bowed to Xia Min. "A herd of beasts. Xia Min scolded, got up and walked outside: "Zhou Zheng, take three thousand forbidden troops today, if you see the people chewing their tongues, all of them will be imprisoned, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and directly punish the nine clans." Retreat from the ......" "Yes. "Retreat from the ......", "Retreat from the ......", "Retreat from the ......" With the sound of retreating from the dynasty three times, the officials hurriedly ran towards Zhou Zheng: "Lord Zhou, I surrender." "Lord Zhou, I confess. "Lord Zhou, I'm guilty. ”
"Lord Zhou, I don't want to die. "Lord Zhou......" In an instant, Zhou Zheng was surrounded and had some difficulty breathing. "Ladies and gentlemen. Zhou Zheng shouted with disdain, and the audience immediately fell silent, and now Zhou Zheng is definitely the protagonist. "Please line up and come one by one, if you delay the time and let the forbidden army directly raid your home, it will be too late. ”
With Zhou Zheng's words, all the officials immediately lined up consciously according to the official position. It's not that these officials don't want to resist, but the current Luoyang City has long been under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except for the forbidden army. Otherwise, these officials would have joined forces to make trouble a long time ago, and now, they are the turtles in the urn, only to be slaughtered. "This year's officials are really bad. Walking out of the imperial city, under the escort of the forbidden army, Xia Min headed towards the palace, where he had nowhere else to go.
"Lord Wang, the military situation is urgent. As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, a herald hurriedly ran to Xia Min and handed over a letter, and then the herald lay on the ground gorgeously. "Go, let him be promoted to the third level. Xia Min pointed to the herald and said to the forbidden army beside him. "Yes. The Praetorian replied, crouched down and picked up the herald, and ran down the street. Slowly opened the letter, wanting to see how miserable Li Congke's defeat was.
In the next second, Xia Min's brows were furrowed. Li Congke failed, which was expected by Xia Min for a long time. However, Xia Min didn't expect that Li Congke would lose so badly. 30,000 soldiers and horses were completely annihilated, and even Li Congke himself was captured by Shi Jingjiao. What's even worse is that Shi Jingjiao's 60,000 soldiers and horses not only did not have one less, but also became 80,000. To put it simply, it was the military department Shangshu and the general who directly sold Li Congke.
Li Congke's die-hard elements put up a little resistance and immediately surrendered. "What kind of battle is this......" Xia Min was silent speechlessly. Xia Min whispered to a maid at the door: "Let the princess pack up and wait for me at the south gate, I'm going to run away." "Yes. The maid replied in surprise, and then hurried inside. "Let's go, go back to the palace. ”
Walking on the way to the palace, Xia Min thought quickly. With 80,000 soldiers and horses, besieging a Luoyang with only 5,000 guards is not too simple. Xia Min is ready to run, and now he is going to the palace to get the jade seal. Originally, Xia Min thought there was still hope, but now, let him learn from Zhao Zilong?
The entrance to the study. "Lord Wang......" The eunuchs all bowed to Xia Min. "Well, you all go down, and be alone. Xia Min waved casually. "This ......" The eunuch was a little embarrassed, in the imperial study, there were many secrets of the dynasty, which could not be viewed by non-emperors, although Xia Min was now a prisoner of the country, and he might be the emperor in the future, but after all, it was not now. "Well, is there a problem?" Xia Min asked coldly, and casually pushed the door open.
"......" The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still stood at the door, not seeing any movement. Walking into the house, Xia Min saw the target at a glance. A square jade, carved with eight ancient characters, ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang, is a dragon-shaped statue on it. "I guess that's it. Stroking this legendary artifact, Xia Min sighed a little.
It's just a special piece of jade, just because Li Si engraved eight words, Qin Shi Huang was the first master, and even with it, this fast jade has also become the emperor's standard. If an emperor does not have this piece of jade, he will be despised by anyone who is not authentic. "What a weird person. Xia Min sighed, picked up a small box from the table, put the jade seal into it, and packed it in a package. Originally, Xia Min planned to exchange the jade seal by legitimate means, but who knew that he would become a thief now, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"The task of the pit daddy. Xia Min came to a conclusion and hurried towards the south gate of Luoyang City. At the south gate, Princess Yong was already sitting in the carriage, and Ying'er and Liu'er were also inside. Outside, there were dozens of royal palace guards, as well as some maids. "What's the matter, Lord Wang, I'm about to leave all of a sudden. Ying'er asked in a low voice to Liu'er, her face very nervous. "I don't know, I heard it, it seems that the military intelligence from the front has come back. ”
Liu Er also lowered her voice and said uneasily, it was because of the war that their sisters were sold to Princess Yong as maids, so they were very afraid of war. "Silence quickly, the prince is here. Ying'er reminded Liu'er, and then maintained a posture of meditation. "Princess, you can take them to Jiangnan, Suzhou or Hangzhou, you go first, you still have some things to do. Xia Min directly opened the curtain and said, and after speaking, he walked towards the north gate of Luoyang. “......”
Princess Yong thought for a while before ordering: "Set off and go to Hangzhou." The entire convoy began to move forward slowly, showing the token given by Xia Min, and the guards at the city gate let them go. On the way to the north gate, Xia Min was very depressed. He originally thought that it would be good to run away, but he couldn't bear to see Luoyang destroyed, so he wanted to be a bait.
Anyway, he is almost invincible now, and his life will not be in danger at all, since this is the case, then take Shi Jingjiao in circles. In this way, the people of Luoyang City will probably have more time to prepare. Shi Jingjiao wants to be the emperor, then, he absolutely needs the jade seal of the country, and he must definitely eliminate Xia Min, the legitimate heir of the Later Tang Dynasty, that is to say, Xia Min with the jade seal is definitely a super meat bun, and it is impossible for Shi Jingjiao not to chase after him. And this is exactly what Xia Min wants, just take Shi Jingjiao around Huaxia, and when the time for the mission is right, he will naturally be able to return.
When you can destroy a planet by yourself in the future, you will come back and settle accounts with Shi Jingjiao. Luoyang North Gate. "Give me two horses. Xia Min said to the guard, and the guard immediately brought over two military horses, and at a glance, he knew that it was definitely a good thing, even if it was not a thousand miles horse, he could run seven or eight hundred miles a day. It took three hours for Xia Min to get used to the horse's back, and although his riding skills were still terrible, at least he wouldn't fall off the horse.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of a dozen heels he fell. After riding for three hours, Xia Min finally saw Shi Jingjiao's forward. A cavalry contingent of about a thousand people. Xia Min grabbed the reins and waited quietly in the middle of the road. Those forwards, seeing Xia Min's appearance, also stopped, although they didn't encounter any trouble in this line, but the Han people are the best at using stratagems, they all know it, for fear that Xia Min will give them an ambush.
The lackey on the opposite side listened, Lone is Li Chongmei, the king of Yong, and the jade seal of the country is on Lone, so Lone asks Shi Jingjiao if he wants it. Xia Min said, holding the heirloom jade seal high with one hand, shining brilliantly under the sunlight. The leader of the "......" vanguard army is a partial general, although he has never seen the jade seal of the country, but this shape, as well as the python suit on Xia Min's body, looks quite like that. Moreover, who knows if Xia Min is ready to ambush like this. "Go, go back and report. The general said to his soldiers, and then stopped. At this distance, even if Xia Min had any ambush, he would have time to plan. Whether Xia Min would have any ambush was very worried, but he didn't bother to send someone to test it.
The terrain Xia Min chose was very good, just at the confluence in the middle of the two towers, and he himself was standing at the entrance. This group of vanguards is surrounded by endless plains, and there is no need to worry about ambushes at all. That's why the general is so calm, in fact, he also wants to rest, from Hedong, all the way to here, never stopped.
