Chapter 223: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots

The back house of the Zhang family shouted and killed.

Zhang Anshi was heroic and instructed Zhu Yong: "Take my two sets of armor." ”

Zhu Yong said: "I brought it early, I knew that the eldest brother wanted it, and I would change it on the road later." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded, then looked back at Xu Jingyi and said, "This ...... There may be something going on today, I ......"

Only then did Xu Jingyi know what the so-called one person and the so-called bloody disaster meant.

She was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

saw Zhang Anshi look apologetic.

At this point, I just felt that my mind was blank.

The three of Zhu Yong took the opportunity to say to Xu Jingyi: "Sister-in-law......

Xu Jingyi calmed down a little, as a bride, the makeup on her face today looked very delicate, and at this time she looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly and said, "Is it dangerous?" ”

"It's not dangerous." On the day of the wedding, leaving a wife, Zhang Anshi still couldn't help it, so he said seriously: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, I am the yellow finch, how can it be dangerous?" ”

But after a pause, Zhang Anshi looked at Xu Jingyi's slightly worried look, and couldn't help but hesitate: "I think it's better to forget it, it's useless for me to go, it's better for the brothers to go, I'll spend candle......s in the cave room today."

Zhu Yong was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Big brother, we have no brains, if you don't go, what should I do if something happens?" ”

Just when Zhang Anshi opened his mouth to say something, Xu Jingyi smiled at him and said, "I see that I am going, where is the reason why my brother went to kill the thief and hide at home?" This has to be passed on, and our Zhang family can't afford to lose this person. Husband, you have to go, and then you have to take the lead in order to serve the people. ”

Today is her big day, of course she hopes that her husband will stay, but after all, she was born in Jiangmen, and there are no dog girls in Jiangmen, at this time, she is still very angry!

At this time, Zhang Xuan on the side, seeing that Zhang Anshi was still hesitant, directly pulled Zhang Anshi and left: "Big brother, it's too late." ”

Zhang Anshi felt as if he had entered a den of thieves...... These generals are ...... How does it all come out of a mold?

So his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "All the people in the inner thousands of households come with me, and where are Gu Xingzu's people and horses, give him a signal." ”

He glanced back at his newlywed wife, nodded silently, and seemed to be in his words, and at that moment, he took off the hat of the groom on his head and walked out of the cave directly.

The group of people behind was murderous and followed violently.

Instead, Qiu Song stayed, grinned at Xu Jingyi and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll show you a baby." ”

As he spoke, he took out a gunpowder bag from his bosom and said happily: "If the eldest brother is disobedient, just stuff this thing under the bed, and with a bang, the eldest brother can fly three feet high." ”

Xu Jingyi was still in a slightly heavy mood, but she actually diluted it a little, she glanced at it, and said, "We also have this in the Xu family, don't want it." ”

Qiu Song was disappointed, failed to give the gift, and finally ran away with his head down.

Xu Jingyi said, a pair of delicate big eyes, glanced around, and closed the door directly.

However, the guests who were lurking around outside and wanted to listen to the cave room were dumbfounded, and someone muttered in a low voice: "Oh no, the groom has killed the thief." ”

On the roof, a man as light as a swallow swished down the ridge of the roof, jumped onto a tree not far away, and then slipped down the tree, and in an instant, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

……

The Great Prison.

Ji Gang was sitting cross-legged.

His heart was beating faster.

There was no day or night, but he seemed to be memorizing the approximate time.

His hair, which had been scattered, had been tied up, and the abscesses and blood stains on his body had been carefully wiped clean.

Although he still can't hide his embarrassment, Ji Gang seems to hope that his image at the moment can be slightly better.

The lieutenant brought the meal.

In the past, Ji Gang ate very little, the food here was very poor, he was seriously injured, and he had no appetite.

But today, he desperately stuffed the bad food into his mouth one by one, and then stalked his neck and swallowed it.

"It's time for three quarters."

Ji Gang opened his eyes suddenly.

There was an indescribable desire in those eyes.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a somewhat weird smile.

…………

Night.

The sky had gradually darkened.

At this time, all kinds of merchants were appearing in Qixia with truckloads of goods.

Today is a good day for Zhang Anshi to get married, but Qixia's side is a lot colder, and many nobles have gone to the capital.

Of course, people are happy to see Hou Ye get married.

"I almost thought that Hou Ye was a good man, if he really didn't marry a wife, there would be no descendants, how could he still be in Zhenqixia?"

"Who said that if you are a good man, you can't marry a wife and have children? You really don't have any knowledge at all, if you want me to say, I mistakenly thought that Hou Ye was actually a heavenly eunuch, and the heavenly eunuch knew what it was? He was born without eggs, so he was ashamed to marry a wife! God is pitiful, our Hou Ye is a normal man, in the future, let's do business in Qixia, don't worry, in the future, his son will suppress Qixia, and he can't even overturn the rules set by his father. ”

"I'm different from you, I thought that Hou Ye was young, and when his hair didn't grow, he messed with the women, he was the prince's wife and brother, what woman didn't? I heard that when he was ten years old, the prince gave him ninety-nine beauties, and I thought that he had no self-control at that time, and his body was broken, so he was not close to women! Ay...... I'm too confused, I shouldn't think about Hou Ye like this, Hou Ye has a tough body, even if he didn't know self-control and self-love when he was young, he must be powerful now. ”

"Yes, our Hou Ye is not an ordinary person, even if the Seven Maidens of the Night Emperor are not a problem, whoever dares to speak ill of him, I will be in a hurry with whom."

One after another, the carriages and horses were stopped by the officers.

Someone stepped forward, smiled, and then took out a piece of silver, and put it into the officer's hand, whispering in the officer's ear.

The messenger listened, but he said: "Our Qixia is a place with rules, stop, dismount, and check!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the silver away.

As a result, the person who came showed a hideous look.

Then, a dagger shook out of his sleeve.

The messenger shouted, but it was too late.

The dagger stabbed the officer in the heart.

The officer snorted, took a step back, and then fell straight down.

This sudden movement seems to have aroused the alarm of all the streets and alleys.

The murderer quickly collected the dagger, and then said viciously: "Quick! ”

So one by one, a lot of black-clothed people jumped out of the carriages, and without much command, these black-clothed people had already gone in the direction of the Qixia Prison.

At the same time, fires broke out everywhere in the capital.

Under this night, the firelight was particularly dazzling.

"Walk the water, walk the water...... Fast...... Hurry up ......"

…………

Yiwang Zhu was crazy and rushed to the martial tower.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang......"

Zhu Di glared at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu also glared at Zhu Di: "Brother Huang, at this time, why haven't you returned to Da Nei?" ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Do you want to do a lot of things? ”

Zhu immediately said, "I'm just talking." ”

Zhu Di said: "Why the hell are you coming back?" ”

Zhu seemed to suddenly remember the purpose of his run, so he hurriedly said: "Something's wrong, there's an accident." ”

His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother Huang, do you know that there are candles in the cave room today, and suddenly, many strong men arrived in the cave room, and everyone dragged Zhang Anshi away, saying that they were going to kill the thief." ”

"Kill thieves?" Zhu Di stared at Zhu.

Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm also thinking about which thief this is killing." ”

Zhu Didao actually said very calmly: "Okay, I know." ”

"Brother Huang, why aren't you shocked?"

Zhu Di said angrily: "It's about your birds!" ”

Zhu said angrily: "I advise you not to be ...... Brother Huang, I'm leaving. ”

Under Zhu Di's fierce gaze, Zhu ran away.

Zhu Di stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced to the bookshelf of Wulou.

He took out a letter from the bookshelf, and the words 'Thief Strategy' were written on it.

Zhu Di's eyes fell on these four words, pondered for a long time, and then paced to the door of the martial tower.

Distance...... There seems to be smoke and dust looming.

Zhu Di stared silently.

And at this time, Yishu Ha Cai trotted over, and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

"Are you going to tell me that Zhang Anshi is going to kill the thief?"

He was also shocked: "Your Majesty is really unpredictable......"

Zhu Di said calmly: "King Yi has already come. ”

Yisha smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, slave maid look...... Something could have gone wrong. ”

"Of course...... Something went wrong. Zhu Di stared at Yishu with deep meaning and said, "Do you think I don't know? ”

Zhu Di pointed to the smoke in the distance.

Yisha said: "Slaves and maids go to the warrior camp? ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Zhang Anshi has already acted on my secret orders. ”

"But ......" Yifu looked at Zhu Di in surprise, and he suddenly realized that it might be ...... There are some things that he has also been kept in the dark.

"But the model battalion has been transferred to Beiping...... On the side of the capital, the five major battalions have all moved to defense. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Really? ”

"What the slave means is that the capital is empty now, especially Qi Xia."

Zhu Di said: "Okay, I know, start now, wait for Zhang Anshi's news." This guy is pitiful, he has to catch a thief when he gets married. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di ripped off his regular clothes and looked carefully from the corners of his torn clothes, but saw that he was actually covered with armor.

At this time, Zhu Di looked at Yishu and said, "You don't have to sleep tonight when you accompany me." ”

Yishuha hurriedly fixed his mind and said, "The slave and maid obey the order." ”

…………

Hundreds of people in black rushed to the prison in a swarm.

The first person was the one-eyed, one-eyed man, holding a big knife, and shouting: "Li Zongqi, Li Zongqi......"

In the prison, a man in a flying fish suit ran out and said, "You guys are here? ”

The one-eyed man shouted, "Hurry up and open the door, I'll leave when I save Ji Dudu." ”

Li Zongqi said: "Okay, come quickly." ”

As he spoke, he began to open the door.

The one-eyed man waved his hand: "Brothers, kill it." ”

So, the hula-la crowd rushed towards the gate.

The door opened.

Li Zongqi immediately retreated sideways.

Immediately afterwards, I saw rows of officers and soldiers of the model battalion, holding fire guns, but the direction of the guns was the direction of the people in black.

It's only a dozen feet away.

Seeing this, the one-eyed man was shocked: "Li Kaishan, I joined your mother, you dare to sell us?" ”

This made Li Kaishan's general banner grin: "You rebellious ministers and thieves, I fucking haunted gambling houses everywhere on the orders of the Marquis of Annan, and gambled indiscriminately every day." He had already guessed that Ji Gang's dog thing had a plan, so he taught me this, just to make you think that I had a chance to take advantage of it, haha, it is to teach you to send it to the door yourself! ”

"Haha...... Betraying you? What are you that you are worthy of me to sell? I, Li Kaishan, am the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and my son entered the Royal Official Academy, and he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. I'm going to fool around with you thieves? Let's all die. ”

The one-eyed man shouted, "The wind is howling." ”

While ordering a retreat, he scolded: "Didn't the model battalion go to Beiping? How to ......"

Bang bang bang......

Rows of fiery guns began to resound in the night sky.

Countless fires illuminated the darkness in this instant.

One by one, the men in black fell like wheat harvesting.

The One-Eyed Man was struck in the leg with a blow.

He limped, clutching his bloodied thighs and staggered.

He was still cursing in his mouth: "Medium...... Hit the mark...... Got it...... It's over, it's all over......"

Syllable......

Another bullet hit his back and burst through his stomach.

A teacup-sized notch appeared on his belly.

Then, a section of the intestine comes out.

The one-eyed man began to grasp his intestines like crazy and wanted to stuff them into his stomach, grinning and crying: "My intestines, my intestines, don't you say, it's a last resort?" Isn't it said that there is no last resort? ”

These black-clothed people seem to be very fierce, most of them are powerful, and their skills are also very vigorous.

But...... In the face of real absolute force, it is like a piece of paper.

After rounds of shooting, under the night sky, someone ordered: "Kill, Master Hou has a life, and there is no mercy for killing." ”

As soon as this statement came out.

A group of model battalion captains drew their swords and rushed away.

The one-eyed man fell in a pool of blood, and he was not yet dead.

It's just that his body is constantly twitching, and his eyes are desperate to see a man in armor coming slowly.

This armored man holds a knife in his backhand, and the tip of the knife reaches the other intact eye of the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man still clutched his intestines, as if his body would become incomplete if he died like this.

He said unwillingly: "Why...... Why...... Why are you here? ”

The armored man was in the dark, without any expression, not even sympathy or pity.

He's like an emotionless harvesting machine.

"Rao...... Spare my life, Gidu's plan, I know...... I know ......"

The one-eyed man said intermittently.

But when he knew that the word fell.

The tip of the knife had already stabbed down, and his body trembled violently.

Blood splattered from his eyes.

The man in armor drew his sword, step by step, and continued to move forward.

Zhang Anshi led a team of people from thousands of households.

Surrounded the Honglu Temple.

Most of the people living in this Honglu Temple are envoys from various countries.

When the officials of Honglu Temple saw it, they immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "Who." ”

Jin Yiwei commanded Chen Li to stand up: "Thousands of households are doing things." ”

The official of Honglu Temple was furious: "This is where the envoys of various countries are, how can you be presumptuous, Jinyi Wei took people, and even took them to Honglu Temple, disturbed the envoys, and waited for the sin?" Someone, stop me for me. ”

His voice fell.

Chen Li kicked him over: "Enter your mother!" ”

The official screamed and fainted directly.

One by one, the officers fled.

Immediately afterwards, a team of thousands of captains entered with Zhang Anshi stepping through the door.

This Honglu Temple has exploded.

The most nervous was none other than the Tatar envoy Ahma, who hurriedly gathered the guards and muttered, "If the Ming people want to kill me, let me kill them." ”

With that, together with the guards, he took his sword and rushed out of the mansion, about to fight to the death.

But when he saw that the captain of the team of Nachito went over, he actually ignored him, and this Ahma couldn't hold back a little, and stood in place, panicking.

A moment later, a guard hurriedly came: "The Ming people went to the envoy's mansion in Warat and arrested many people. ”

In the distance, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

The bursts of wails made people shudder.

Ahmad shook his head: "That's okay, scared, go back to sleep." ”

Still, Ahma stood in front of his courtyard and watched.

Immediately, many people were tied up.

Someone said in jerky Chinese: "I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty, why take me, we are envoys, the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoys." ”

At this time, under the firelight, Zhang Anshi, who was dressed in a unicorn suit, walked out, punched the man's face, and scolded: "Call again, chop you and feed the dog." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The world is quiet.

Until everyone recedes like a tide.

Ahma glanced at the dark void of the night with a lot of fog, and he was a little afraid, so he immediately returned to his mansion: "Repair the book for the Great Khan, and the Warat Department and the Ming Dynasty have fallen out." Haha......"

This was pleased by the envoy Ahma, who was not from the Tatar ministry.

The Tatars claimed to be the orthodox Yuan Dynasty, while the Warat tribe was not the blood of the Golden Family, and had always fought against the Tatar tribe west of the desert.

At this time, the Tatar Ministry was strong, and the Warat Department and the Uliangha Department were relatively weak, so the strategy of the Ming Dynasty has always been to bind the Uliangha Department, befriend the Warat Department, and jointly deal with the Tatar Department.

Where did you think of ...... Now...... The Jinyi guard went directly to the envoys of Navarat.

…………

Yisha quickly arrived at Wulou from the noon gate: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

It's midnight.

Zhu Di didn't sleep for half a night, but he was waiting patiently at this time.

When Zhu Di heard this, he opened his eyes violently.

His eyes were burning and he was staring at him.

Yisha said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Nanzhen Fusi, and the thieves have all taken it. ”

"Okay." Zhu Di patted the case, his eyebrows fluttered: "Is it the ...... and Ji Gang settled the general ledger. ”

Yizha was confused, looked at Zhu Di in surprise, and said timidly: "Your Majesty...... This...... This ......"

"You must be confused." Zhu Di said with a smile: "Actually, I also have some doubts, but a few days ago, Zhang Anshi gave me a secret recital, saying that it was tonight...... Maybe the thieves have moved, and it's a good time to catch the thieves, haha...... I have many things, and I have kept them in the dark. ”

Yishu said: "The slave maid actually wants to know, what is Ji Gang planning?" The slave is not talkative, but it is ...... I ...... in my heart."

"Want to know?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he looked at it with a smile.

Yisha nodded: "Then what are you waiting for, go to the discipline gang, I should be honest with Ji Gang." ”

Yisha rubbed his eyes: "Now? ”

Zhu Di said: "If I don't see him now, I won't be able to sleep." ”

Yisha said: "I'm afraid that there are thieves outside." ”

Zhu Di said: "Send more guards, what's more, even if you don't send guards, it's fine." Zhang Anshi said that the thief was cleaned up, so he must have been cleaned up, this guy ...... Ganjin Yiwei is still very competent. ”

Yisha nodded: "The slave will arrange it." ”

…………

Zhang Anshi looked tired, and always chanted in front of Zhu Yong and a few others: "I'm a candle night in the cave room, I'm a good groom official, I came out to fool around with you, big brother, I sacrificed too much." ”

Zhu Yong said: "Big brother, don't talk about it, you can't concentrate on catching thieves." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't think about how you know the hard work of the eldest brother, how do you know the eldest brother...... I'm not always greedy for life and afraid of death. You also have to read more in the future, and when you see people, you have to say, you want to pass it on, pass it on to me, Marquis Annan did not frown when he abandoned his wife and children in order to repay the emperor's kindness, and he was really a great loyal minister. ”

Zhu Yong said: "Big brother, you put it briefly, it's so long, we can't remember it." ”

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and tugged at Zhu Yong's clothes: "Not a brother, not a brother, why are you so stupid." ”

Zhu Yong scratched his head: "The eldest brother taught me not to use my brain, but now he really doesn't move, but he still comes to scold me." ”

Zhang Anshi always stared at Zhu Yong with resentment, which made Zhu Yong's heart furious.

Immediately afterwards, thousands and hundreds of households came to report.

"Master Hou, the forty-seven thieves in Dongcheng have been taken."

"Master Hou, there are two hundred and thirty-two people in Xicheng, all in one net."

"Master Hou, Qixia six hundred and ninety-three thieves, all of them have been killed."

"Lord Hou......"

Zhang Anshi cheered up: "Those people ...... Have you taken them all? ”

"It's all taken."

"Very good, pick a few people out, I want to give Ji Dudu a big surprise."

Zhang Anshi was extremely excited at this time.

These days, he has had enough of Ji Gang.

This time it's time for a final reckoning.

Rested for a moment.

Zhang Anshi asked Zhu Yong to stay where he was, and only let Chen Li follow him.

The reason why Zhu Yong and these people are not allowed to go, to a certain extent, is actually to protect Zhu Yong.

In history, Ji Gang, when His Majesty decided to do something to him, gave an order almost in the morning, and at night, Ji Gang and his henchmen were all killed by Zhu Di.

The speed of the killing and the ruthlessness of the means can be described as unprecedented.

It is precisely because Ji Gang has mastered too many secrets.

But just when Zhang Anshi was about to leave.

Someone came in and whispered, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Hurry up and pick up the driver." ”

At this time, someone entered the room from the night and said, "No need. ”

Zhang Anshi saw the person who came, not who Zhu Di was.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile and said, "It is not easy for Zhang Qing's family to get married tonight. ”

Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong scratched his head and stammered: "Big brother is too bitter, he came to catch the thief on the night of the candle in the cave room, for ...... In order to catch a thief, he abandoned his wife and children, it was too difficult, and he was a loyal minister. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Oh? Zhang Qing's family has a son? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yong is stupid and can't speak, Your Majesty should ignore him." It is right for the minister to do all this. The so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king is also. ”

Zhu Yong's eyes widened with copper bells: "Big brother, you don't ...... it."

Zhang Xuan covered Zhu Yong's mouth and dragged him aside.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi as if he didn't see it, and said, "What's the matter, you said you caught the thief?" Why, what kind of conspiracy is this Ji Gang? ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please go with your ministers to see Ji Gang, and everything will be understood." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "I also wanted to see him a long time ago, go." ”

…………

Ji Gang sat cross-legged in prison.

He began to become impetuous, furrowing his brows, as if he felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until the hurried footsteps came that he picked up his spirits violently, and looked at the cell door with hopeful eyes.

Bang, the cell door slammed open.

Ji Gang's pupils also contracted.

Soon, in his eyes, there was a look of disappointment that he couldn't hide.

He looked shocked.

It seems that no matter what, I can't imagine that the person who appears in front of my eyes ...... These are the people.

"Ji Dudu......" Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, you waited left and right, didn't wait for your comrades, but waited for Your Majesty and me." ”

Ji Gang took a deep breath, and his eyes began to panic.

Not so long ago, even when he was tortured, he didn't look like this.

Someone brought a chair.

Zhu Di sat down silently and looked at Ji Gang indifferently.

Only then did Ji Gang come back to his senses and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Anshi stood behind Zhu Di and said, "Okay." Don't pretend anymore, now...... All your plans have been frustrated. ”

Ji Gang shuddered: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I don't know, don't worry, come, escort people in." ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw Chen Li kick a person, and the person stumbled and stumbled into the cell.

Ji Gang raised his head and looked fixedly, this person ...... But it's his own son, Ji Wenlong.

Ji Gang only glanced at Ji Wenlong, immediately lowered his eyes, and said, "Zhang Anshi, I don't ...... Don't know what you're talking about? ”

His voice, desperate and trembling, was a taste of fear.

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't you know? Ji Dudu, it seems that I will learn more from you in the future, you are a scoundrel, and I Zhang Anshi really can't beat the horse. It seems that you are in ...... Until now, you're still lucky, aren't you? ”

Ji Gang raised his eyes and shouted fiercely at Ji Wenlong: "You...... How are you here? ”

"Daddy...... Daddy......" Ji Wenlong said desperately at this time: "It's over, it's all over, our plans have all failed, we ...... We've got it all. ”

It was only now that Ji Gang seemed to accept the reality in front of him.

He looked at the void with desperate eyes, looking a little sluggish: "How did it come to this point, clearly...... There shouldn't be anything wrong, there shouldn't be anything wrong. ”
