Chapter 805: Minions
Before the black shadow came to the firewood room, he looked left and right with a short body, and the two guards in front of the door were snoring deafeningly, and they were tired from running around for days and the battle against the bandits.
The black shadow strode past the body of the sleeping guard in front of the door, gently pushed open the door of the firewood room, and slipped in with a twist of his body, the two bandit leaders were tied to the pillar and were sleeping with their heads down, the black shadow had a sneer on his face, walked two steps quickly, raised the steel knife and slashed at Yang Qing who was tied to the right head; The blade was still in mid-air, and suddenly saw 'Yang Qing' tied to the wooden pillar suddenly raise his head, and at this moment, the black shadow was frightened.
"Do you want to kill your Uncle Zhao?" Picking up the messy hair that was scattered all over his head, under the dim light, where was the bandit leader Yang Qing under the messy hair, but Song Nan's personal guard battalion Qianhu Zhao Dapeng, this gentleman got up with a hippie smile, shook off the rope on his arm, and didn't know when, the embroidered spring knife was already in his hand.
The person tied to the other pillar also raised his head, naturally he was also a member of the Jinyi Guard's personal guard battalion, the black shadow understood the total, and rushed to the outside of the firewood room on tiptoe, Zhao Dapeng shouted: "Are you still running?" ”
While speaking, the footsteps outside were mixed, and more than a dozen guards had come to the door under the leadership of Wang Yong, and with a bang, the wooden door of the firewood room was kicked open by Wang Yong, and under the light of the torches, more than a dozen guards swarmed in and surrounded it.
"Take it." Wang Yong shouted violently, and the guards approached with knives, and the man knew that it would be difficult to get out today, so he waved his hand violently, put the steel knife in his hand across his neck, twisted it hard, and wanted to kill himself. As soon as Wang Yong raised his hand, a flying knife flew out, hitting the wrist of the person holding the knife, the steel knife fell to the ground with a loud bang, the man held the wrist with his left hand, blood oozed out of his fingers, and a drop fell on the muddy ground of the firewood room, ticking.
The guards rushed up and tied it up firmly, and at this time, Song Nan's voice came from outside: "Did you take it?" ”
Wang Yong said in a loud voice: "My lord, I have already taken it." ”
Song Nan and Wang Shouren entered the house surrounded by several guards, Wang Shouren's face was pale, he looked at the nightcrawler who was tied up by five flowers in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Li Guangtai, you are so bold, sue me, why did you do this?" ”
Song Nan sneered: "Do you still need to ask?" This Ganzhou Wei Commander has long been a guest of Lord Ning's seat, Commander Li, yes or no? ”
That person was Li Guangtai, the commander of the Ganzhou Guard, although this person was an important member of Ganzhou, but he was silent and calm along the way, but he didn't expect him to be the person who was hiding in Ganzhou.
Wang Shouren Wu spontaneously asked: "Sue me, why is this?" You Li Guangtai have a very good reputation, in my impression, you have always been an upright and upright person, and you also have a set of leading troops to fight, why did you become King Ning's lackey like some officials? ”
Li Guangtai's face was pale and he hung his head and said nothing.
Song Nan opened his mouth and said: "I'll answer Lord Wang's questions for Commander Li, I, Jinyiwei, have been secretly investigating King Ning Xingzhi since last year, and the people with whom he has a close relationship have drawn up a list of Nanbei Zhenfu Division, unfortunately, this Lord Li Guangtai is on the list. The two concubines in Lord Li Guangtai's family, one Runyu and the other Suxi, can Lord Li explain the origin of these two charming women? ”
Li Guangtai sighed, and finally spoke: "It turns out that I have all entered the eyes of Jinyiwei, no matter what, one person does things and one person is responsible, Runyu and Su Xi are the concubines given to me by King Ning, and I do have a secret relationship with King Ning." It turned out that Zhenguo Gong knew the inside story early, no wonder he took us with him when he saw Ganzhou, and he didn't allow us to go back, it turned out that he knew my details early. ”
Song Nan sneered: "Yes, as soon as Lord Wang introduced your name, I remembered the people on that list, the name Li Guangtai is very easy to remember, and I have forgotten a lot of other names, but I remember your Li Guangtai's tuba." Therefore I ask that you follow me and not allow you to go back and tell the news. If I'm not mistaken, you are here tonight to kill Yang Qing and Li Fu, you must be worried that these two people will confess the fact that King Ning colluded with the bandits and secretly sheltered them for their use, Lord Li, you are also dead set on King Ning. ”
Wang Shouren understood everything, it turned out that Song Nan had recognized Li Guangtai since the day he arrived in Ganzhou, and he blamed him for not believing in his own vision and acting too carefully, in fact, Song Nan had already known that there were King Ning's spies among the people he trusted, and he didn't know how to laugh at himself in his heart. When he was monitoring in the room just now, what Song Nan said intuitively knew that there were spies in it, it was all, and he was actually acting for himself. Wang Shouren is really speechless to Song Nan, this guy refuses to trust anyone, maybe he has doubts about himself.
"Grandpa Guo, I'm blind, some of my subordinates are King Ning's minions but I don't know it, I am deceived and deceived like a fool, please ask Grandpa Guo to punish the crime."
Song Nan laughed and said: "Lord Wang doesn't have to blame himself, King Ning's methods are pervasive and invincible, he is deliberately trying to win over local officials, who can withstand his methods?" ”
Wang Shouren pointed at Li Guangtai and reprimanded angrily: "Li Guangtai, you and I are old acquaintances, I never thought that you would be a womanizer, and you would be willing to fall like this for the sake of two women, which is really disappointing." ”
Li Guangtai lowered his head and said: "My lord, Guangtai has negative teachings, and now I don't say anything, I took a wrong step, and this is a wrong step." I'm not making excuses for myself, but it's true that I'm not obsessed with women to do things for King Ning, but because I have the handle in his hands. A few years ago, my wife and brother took the township examination, and I couldn't stand the instigation of my family, so I bribed the Jiangxi Xuezheng Wang and the officials of the Ministry of Rites to invigilate the examination, and learned about the township examination questions in advance, and asked someone to do a good job of answering and bring them into the examination supervision, so my brother-in-law won the second place in the township examination. I didn't think that there was no impermeable wall in the world, and for some reason King Ning knew about it, so he used this matter to threaten me, and in desperation, I could only do what he wanted. These two women, I know that he came from the wrong way, but since he has broken the law, why should he care so much? So he accepted King Ning's kindness. ”
Wang Shouren's fingers trembled angrily, and he scolded angrily: "This is still good intentions? You are willing to fall into a broken jar, you are simply dizzy. ”
Song Nan sneered: "It is already a capital crime for him to bribe a student to leak the test questions, and he is a corrupt official, this is not to blame King Ning for finding him, flies do not crawl seamless eggs, if he holds his body, how can he be today?" ”
Wang Shouren was heartbroken and sighed. Song Nan had already started the interrogation, what he was most concerned about was not the process of this Li Guangtai's depravity and crime, what he wanted to know most was actually what he knew about King Ning's deeds, and whether his whereabouts had been revealed by this Li commander.
Li Guangtai was also simple, he answered calmly whatever Song Nan asked, and he didn't deny it at all, so Song Nan knew the answer to the question he was most worried about.
As early as the day Song Nan arrived in Ganzhou, his whereabouts had been revealed by this Li Guangtai, and on that day Song Nan asked the officials in Ganzhou not to leave, that is, they were not allowed to pass on the news, first, the news of the bandits could not be leaked, and second, his whereabouts should be kept secret; However, the method used by this Li Guangtai was to take advantage of the opportunity that the government office sent someone to send a letter to the families of the officials, saying that the adults would stay in the government office to handle official business for several days and not leave, and asked a government official to return the folding fan on his body, and included a short note in the mezzanine of the folding fan; The two concubines in his mansion, Runyu and Su Xi, are two well-trained female spies, and after getting the folding fan, they will naturally find the news that they have brought back, and Song Nan's whereabouts have already been reported to the Nanchang Ning Palace.
After learning this result, everyone, including Song Nan, was dumbfounded, Song Nan was worried that the news of entering the county town with great fanfare yesterday would leak, but now it seems that the news has been leaked two days ago, and there is nothing to worry about yesterday's fanfare.
Everyone understands that once this news leaks out, and the news that the bandit leader of Sanboshan will be captured will spread soon, from the standpoint of Ning Wangfu, he thinks that he will either rescue these insiders, or kill people like Li Guangtai's idea. It is related to the ulterior purpose behind King Ning's back, if King Ning learns about this, it is very likely that he will take risks, even if Song Nan is the prince of Zhenguo, even if he is a well-known military god in the Ming Dynasty, and the absolute celebrity around the emperor, King Ning is afraid that he will not hesitate to take action and remove one of them.
Song Nan knows this, if he thinks that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has the slightest mercy and mercy, it will be a serious mistake, and this is Jiangxi, and his great ability is also in other people's lair, and it is not difficult to kill himself.
The only consolation is that Zhu Chenhao was still in the capital when Song Nan left Beijing, even if he reported to Zhu Chenhao quickly, he would have to run fast for three days and three nights, that is to say, there was at least a buffer period of four or five days from Zhu Chenhao to get the news and then issue an order, and he had to use this staggered time to leave Jiangxi as soon as possible and bring Yang Qing, Li Fu and this Li Guangtai to the emperor.
"Lord Wang, I'm going to set off overnight, the shape after this is unpredictable, if I return to the capital safely, with this certified confession, if King Ning is in the capital, I will definitely capture him, and then the catastrophe will disappear invisibly, if he is not in the capital, then the matter will be tricky."
Wang Shouren nodded slightly and frowned: "It's really tricky, if he gets the news to leave the capital, I'm afraid a rebellion will be inevitable." Zhenguo Gong, please rest assured, after I return to Ganzhou, I will be on strict guard, even if the rebellion occurs, I will also restrain the main force of the rebels, waiting for the arrival of the imperial court counterinsurgency army, I believe that if the rebellion is suppressed, it must be Zhen Guogong himself to lead the troops to come, and then the lower officials will follow Zhenguo Gong to get rid of this big tumor. ”
Song Nan smiled and arched his hand: "A word is a decision, I will write down a list of my Jinyiwei's mastery, no one on it can be trusted, I hope Lord Yu will help." ”
Wang Shouren said happily: "That's the best, so that my actions don't fall into his ears and eyes." ”
Song Nan ordered Wang Yong to present the list, and then got up and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, I cherish it, I still want to ask for the essence of teaching, and I hope that Lord Wang will take care of your safety." ”
Wang Shouren smiled and said: "There were many misunderstandings about Zhenguo Gong before, and today I Wang Shouren solemnly apologizes, Zhenguo Gong is a bright and upright person in my Ming Dynasty, from today on, I Wang Shouren will never say anything about Zhenguo Gong." ”
Song Nan smiled and said goodbye. The Jinyi guards formed a team overnight, escorting Yang Qing, Li Fu, and Li Guangtai out of the city to the east, and disappeared into the dark night before dawn.
