Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 50: Meet

"Smack!" With a bang, the wine glass shattered all over the floor.

"Bang dang!"

"Shi Sheng!" Yin Bo shouted.

Zeng Hui pushed away the table on his body and anxiously shouted at Yin Bo: "Go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary!" ”

"Yes!"

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!" Zeng Hui had already stood up again, ignoring the vanity under his feet, and staggered open the door and ran towards the Yamen of the Political Secretary.

"Hey! Alas! Yin Bo gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind to keep up with Zeng Hui.

Zeng Hui's right arm was suddenly grabbed, and when he looked back, he showed a knowing smile: "I knew that Brother Xiao Guang wouldn't care." ”

"Don't put a top hat on me! I just hope what we're doing really works! Even if you die today, you have to have a good reputation, don't say it, just spread the word that there are two bad seeds in Taihe County. Yin Bo said.

Zeng Hui and the two subordinates were subordinate to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and the residential courtyard was on the north bank of the Pearl River Inland Section, which was a standard river-view house.

Three streets along Guangzhou Avenue to the north can reach Yamen, Yin Bo saw that the crowd had just entered the waterway of the city, and the two of them did not dare to stop and rest all the way, and ran from slightly drunk to a sober state.

When they arrived at the Yamen of the Political Secretary, they saw that Dong Xing had already started his posture and was ready to face Huang Xiaoqi, so the two of them stopped their steps, put their hands on their legs, and couldn't stop panting.

"Hey, you two belong to that yamen?" The patrol soldiers saw the two from afar, although the brightness of the torches was not enough, but they could vaguely see by the moonlight that the two people were wearing official uniforms, and there was no hostility in their words.

As the distance approached, Mr. Qian, who led the team, recognized the identities of the two and hurriedly said, "Lord Zeng, Lord Yin, why are you two here at this time?" ”

Zeng Hui waved his hand at him, signaling for him to breathe again, and after this breath was even, he still said in a trembling voice: "Lord Yin and I have observed the movement of the anti-thief, and we have come to report to General Dong. ”

Mr. Qian posed and asked the two of them to come forward and said: "Don't worry, the two adults, General Dong has already taken precautions, and if the thieves dare to come in at this time, they will be thrown into the net, and they will definitely have no return!" ”

The two followed Mr. Qian to Dong Xing's place, and it happened that Dong Xing was dressed neatly and was about to go to Zhu Qizhen to report, and when he saw the two senators, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

Yin Bo and Zeng Hui have the impression that they are all like himself, and the officials who are transferred from outside the capital seem to be not deeply involved with the local area on weekdays, and it should be credible to be able to come to the center of the battlefield at this time.

"General Dong!" Zeng Hui and Yin Bo greeted each other.

Dong Xing asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zeng Hui and Yin Bo glanced at each other and replied: "General, I and Lord Yin's house were originally by the river, but I heard the noise outside, and found that the thieves were attacking at night, and I was worried about the safety of the saint, so I rushed to tell him." ”

Dong Xing nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then you can face the saint with General Ben and personally explain the situation to the emperor." ”

Zeng Hui and Yin Bo's hearts jumped, this should be the first time the new emperor has faced the saint after he ascended the throne, needless to say, he was excited in his heart, and hurriedly agreed: "But listen to the general's orders." ”

The three of them walked into the yamen of the political secretary one after the other, and they were familiar with the past

None of the guards were missing at this time, and they were all replaced by new faces in brocade guard uniforms, and when they saw the three of them coming in, the scrutinizing eyes along the way were very obvious.

The Yamen of the Political Secretary is a five-entry compound, and Zhu Qizhen lives in the innermost mansion, which was originally the residence of Xiang Wenyao, a feudal official, and as soon as the emperor came, he naturally moved away willingly.

After walking through three corridors, I came to the temporary residence of the emperor, and at this moment the door of the house was wide open, and the courtyard was brightly lit. When the three of them came to the door, after the brocade guards carefully examined, they left the three of them to wait in place, waiting for the emperor to summon them. But what people didn't expect was that they were not waiting for the guards who gave orders.

Zhu Qizhen also just got out of bed, and finally had a good night's sleep, but he was woken up by someone just after falling asleep, who can be happy?

But before Zhu Qizhen got up and had a seizure, he learned that Huang Xiaoqi had brought people into the city, and the target was the political envoy Si Yamen.

The brain, which was still a little confused, woke up instantly, this is to give yourself a dismount? I really don't know the situation, I'm the boss of the whole Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Qizhen put on the emperor's regular clothes, and his bright yellow robe was as eye-catching as a flame in the dark night. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw three people waiting at the door, needless to say, Dong Xing, the other two people really didn't have much impression.

"At this time, you are not in front of the command, what are you doing here?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at Dong Xingdao.

Only then did he find that Zhu Qizhen had come out neatly dressed, and the three of them were already kneeling on the ground with three knocks.

Dong Xing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these two are Senators Zeng Hui and Yin Bo, who have found traces of thieves in their homes and have come to report to the emperor. ”

"Oh?" This surprised Zhu Qizhen, he thought that the entire officialdom was rotten, but he didn't expect that there were loyal and upright people, but it was beyond his expectations.

"What's the situation?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Zeng Hui and the others told Zhu Qizhen in detail what they had seen.

It is roughly the same as what Jinyiwei and Du Si played: the thieves came from the east of the river, branched troops along the north of the inner river, and came to the Yamen of the political envoy.

A little more specific, for example, the boats are all small clippers, each boat carries about three or five people, this kind of detailed information is a little rich in the information reported by the Jinyi Guard.

On the whole, the other side is loosely organized, and the weapons are mainly agricultural tools, and the lethality is not strong, mainly because there are many people, there are thousands of ships and tens of thousands of people.

This also confirms from the side that the so-called anti-thieves are actually mainly ordinary people, and few people know how to fight, relying on this kind of organizational ability, it is already very unexpected to be able to attack Guangzhou at night.

Although the information is not valuable, the loyalty of the two people is commendable, and after tonight, they should be able to learn about the local situation from their mouths.

After Zhu Qizhen sorted out the information, he deliberately patted the two of them, and teased in a relaxed tone: "Do you have a small bar when you go home from work?" Is it strange that I didn't feast with you? ”

Zeng Hui, Yin Bo's old face turned red, and he quickly explained: "Weichen doesn't dare, it's the minister who is greedy for a cup, and he must drink less in the future." ”

The two of them are like twins, and the words they say are the same, which makes Zhu Qizhen feel quite interesting.

"As long as you're on duty

If you don't drink it, I'm not an unreasonable person, so it's okay to have a few drinks, and remember not to be greedy. Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

Where have the two of them been so close to the emperor, just a few words have already drifted in the clouds, and they hurriedly thanked him and promised not to delay their work.

The monarch and the minister are not polite, and there will be time to talk in the future, and the most important thing today is to deal with the thieves led by Huang Xiaoqi.

He has a brocade guard and a large army to protect him, but if he disturbs the people in the city, it will be more than worth the loss.

When they were about to leave, Xiang Wenyao and Li Mao, a political envoy and an envoy, and the main officials in charge of local political affairs and criminal names finally arrived late.

"Ministers Xiang Wenyao and Li Mao, knock to see our emperor, and respectfully invite Sheng'an!" The two were disheveled, and Li Mao's official uniform was tucked into the crotch of his pants, and it was obvious that he had just gotten up from bed.

Zhu Qizhen was also not angry: "Get up, go out with me to have a look." ”

At this time, there was already a sea of people in front of the yamen, most of whom were holding kitchen knives, hoes, wooden sticks, sickles and other agricultural tools, and were approaching the yamen in an irregular formation.

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

Zhu Qizhen heard the noisy shouting in the inner house, and after going out, it was more like being in a vegetable market, what kind of battlefield oppressive atmosphere, there was no such thing as a big set, ignoring the guy in his hand was like rushing to a big set.

Looking around, I saw a dark and thin man standing at the front, and the rest of the people faintly looked like he was the leader, confronting the soldiers and horses led by Dong Xing.

After Zhu Qizhen walked out of the gate, the crowd on the other side was clearly in turmoil for a moment, and their discussions could be faintly heard.

"Who is this? The new general soldier? The clothes are so beautiful! You have to sell it for a lot of money, right? ”

"Isn't the new soldier next to him?"

"Hey, that's right, I didn't see him last time, so who is he?"

"The black yarn winged hat, the woven dragon collar gold silk robe, this is the costume of the Son of Heaven!"

"Ahh

As the discussion increased, someone gradually recognized the clothes, and the exclamations mixed with the already boiling voices continued.

"Your Majesty! It's the emperor! ”

"Afraid of what? The court forced us to death, even if it was the emperor, what could we do? The rebellion was also made, are you afraid of him? ”

Huang Xiaoqi naturally also noticed Zhu Qizhen in a dragon robe, he didn't expect the emperor to come out in person and see his people, but unfortunately the two sides were already like fire and water, and the reflection of fire in Huang Xiaoqi's eyes was blazing.

"Xiao Qi, the emperor is out, do you still do it? Or let him hand over Xie Guang's family property in exchange for a happy life for us? An old man to Huang Xiaoqi's left asked, but the meaning of his words made many young people dissatisfied.

"Uncle Jiu, are you crazy, do we still have a way to survive if we surrender? Rebellion will punish the nine clans! A young man of the same age and appearance to Huang Xiaoqi's right scoffed.

The ninth uncle ignored him, but looked at Huang Xiaoqi with burning eyes, and shouted again: "Xiao Qi! ”

Huang Xiaoqi was silent, looking at Zhu Qizhen, who was protected by the crowd, the eyes of the two met in the dark night, and Huang Xiaoqi unconsciously looked away.
