Under the city, Zhao Mengqi was a little impatient and gave Chang Geng a look.

Chang Geng comprehended, and shouted at the city, "How long will Your Highness have to wait!?" ”

After a long time, I saw a man wearing a lacquered official hat leaning out, "This official knows Qian Guozhong, the affairs of Shaoxing Mansion, the people below listen, the city gate will not be opened at will, and the night is thick, it is really impossible to distinguish the identity of Er, the city defense is not a child's play, this official advises you not to wait here, it is better to enter the city tomorrow according to the rules, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

, this sunset is about to fall, what are you talking about the night!? And at your own risk!?

Zhao Mengqi suppressed his anger and spoke again, "Qian Guozhong, right!" You're good! Lonely's identity, you know it, but you insist on not opening the city gate!? ”

"That's the rule, you guys leave quickly!" Qian Zhifu retracted his body and didn't care anymore.

The toughness of the Qian prefect made Zhao Mengqi understand that this was definitely not his idea alone.

Shaoxing is the accompanying capital, and there are many road-level yamen in the city, such as the pacification envoy in eastern Zhejiang, the prison envoy, the Changping envoy, etc., it seems that these civil officials are colluding together, and the iron heart wants to embarrass Zhao Mengqi!

After testing this information, there is no need to linger longer, "Let's go, since they eat scales, then let's not spend it and find a place to spend the night." ”

When I came, there was a small town not far from here, and Zhao Mengqi and his party turned around and went to the town to settle.

The main hall of King Rong's mansion.

The old lady sat at the head, half-squinting, and Wei Guansun knocked her leg and offered her great hospitality.

King Rong picked up the teacup and put it down again, looking a little impatient, and Concubine Qian and the others were also sitting here, as if it had been some time.

Old Madam Quan opened her eyes, "What time is this, why hasn't Desun arrived yet?" ”

King Rong glanced outside the hall, "It's almost time, if you don't come again, this city gate will be closed, it stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago." "It is between nineteen and twenty-one, and usually the gates are closed at twenty o'clock.

As he spoke, King Rong looked at Concubine Qian again, "Didn't you arrange for someone to greet you?" Why is there no news at all? ”

"It's... How do you know about the concubine? Concubine Qian pretended to be calm, "I think it's something interesting that Shiro encountered on the road, so if you don't care, you won't be delayed, in fact, you don't have to be nervous, now the surroundings are very peaceful, and Shiro has a class to protect him, so there will definitely be no accident, even if it is late, it is difficult for someone to dare to lock him out of the city." ”

"Yes, the princess is right, Shiro may have mistaken the time, let's wait a little longer." The four county lords said.

In addition, Huang sat in the corner, anxiously holding the handkerchief, but did not dare to ask silently.

King Rong couldn't sit still, stood up, and paced back and forth, "No, although Shiro is a little slower, he is not a person who doesn't know the severity, hey, Qian Niangzi, you can arrange someone to investigate!" …… Niangniang, you are old, so you don't have to wait here, let's go and rest first, Shiro is here, let him greet you. ”

"Okay, the old body can't stand it anymore, go back to the courtyard first, if there is news, be sure to have someone report it, Guan Sun, go back with the old body."

Under the considerate support of Wei Guansun, Mrs. Quan slowly left the main hall.

……

The next day, Zhao Mengqi, who had spent the night in the town, set off for Shaoxing again.

It didn't take long for them to come to the Ying'en Gate again, and this time, the city gate was open.

However, Zhao Mengqi's carriage stopped at the door and did not move.

Shaoxing is a big city, there are five compartments and ninety-six squares in total, and Lin'an is only nine compartments and eighty-five squares, the population in Shaoxing city is slightly less than Lin'an, and Jinling City is equally famous, it is the largest two cities in the Southern Song Dynasty except Lin'an.

Therefore, there are naturally a lot of people who enter and leave the city gate during this day, not to mention that this day is still Princess Rong's birthday banquet, and there are many people who come from other places to celebrate her birthday.

This city gate was blocked like this, and many people were soon left behind, but no one dared to urge them when they saw more than a hundred heavily armed Ban Zhi, plus a full set of prince's honor guards.

The defenders of the city were still the forbidden army from yesterday, and when they saw this situation, they all had sweaty palms and weak hearts.

"What is this loyal king for?"

"What else can you do? Yesterday I was blocked out of the door for no reason, not to mention a noble person like him, even if I was replaced, I had to hold my breath. ”

"What do you mean? The loyal king still asks us for sin? Straight lady thief, I just said that I was killed by someone from above..."

"It is said that when the Son of Heaven is angry, the blood flows for thousands of miles, this loyal king is only one level worse than the Son of Heaven, so it doesn't flow a hundred miles?"

"What's the panic? If the loyal king really wants to ask for the guilt, he will definitely not be able to find us small fish and shrimp. ”

"I don't think so, I heard that King Zhong has a bad brain, so he may be angry like a child......"

A quarter of an hour later, the convoy still didn't move, and even if Cai An was weak-hearted, he couldn't hide anymore, "Damn, I don't believe he can do anything to me?" I'm not the mastermind, if he wants to settle the account, he has to lift all the heads and brains of Shaoxing! I'm afraid that the officials don't dare to do this, at most let him beat a few sticks, and maybe he can go to the civil officials in exchange for some benefits. ”

Comforting himself in this way, Cai An finally moved to the front of the carriage, "The fifty-fourth commander of the lowly Weiguo, the commander made Cai An see His Royal Highness King Zhong, I don't know what His Highness means by stopping here?" I also hope that King Zhong will make it convenient for the gentry and the common people, enter the city as soon as possible, and let the road be opened. ”

In the carriage, Zhao Mengqi, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and commanded softly, "Yu Niang, will you close your eyes later, cover your ears and don't move?" ”

Zhao Yan let go of the cat in his arms and nodded seriously, "Fourth brother, Su Niang is very well-behaved, I will listen to whatever you tell me." ”

"Huang Wolf, take good care of the little lady."

After speaking, Zhao Mengqi got up and walked out of the carriage, standing on the tablet and looking down at Cai An, "It turns out that you know the identity of Lone?" ”

This tone sounded very gentle, but the irony was stronger, but it made Cai Anxin feel a little calmer, "Humble position, humble position is the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you not know that King Zhong, Your Highness is really joking." ”

"Hehe, in this way, are you guilty of yesterday's events?" Zhao Mengqi's tone was still very flat.

"To be lowly is to act under command, and not to know what sin there is?" Cai An gritted his teeth and argued.

Zhao Mengqi looked at him quietly, "You mean to say that even if you know that Gu Nai is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and the loyal king of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as your so-called superiors give you orders, you can face each other with a sword and try to kill you!?" ”

There was silence all around, except for the sound of questioning that grew heavier.

"Does it mean that as long as there is a so-called order, you can lead troops to attack the palace and kill the monarch and rebel!? Yes!? ”

Cai An never imagined that the legendary foolish king had such sharp words, and his mind instantly became blank!

"Now, are you guilty!?" This question is as cold as cold iron.

"I, I...... Even if I am guilty, I should be asked by Yousi, not His Highness's words can be decided, let, our Great Song Dynasty has a royal law..."

Cai An's legs trembled, and he said this sentence stubbornly, he only hoped that King Zhong could act according to the law now, in that case, those civil officials would not be able to ignore him.

"Wang Fa? Hehe, this king is the king's law! Zhao Mengqi smiled contemptuously, why do you think this is eight hundred years later, "Come on!" ”

"Whoa!" A hundred squads responded in unison.

After yesterday's events, they no longer dared to ignore Zhao Mengqi's orders.

"Rectify this fang on the spot and hang your head in front of the city!"

An order came out of Zhao Mengqi's mouth flutteringly.

Zeng Ba immediately stepped forward and kicked Cai An in the back of his knee, causing him to kneel on the ground, and then two more guards stepped forward and pressed his shoulders.

Cai An realized that this loyal king was not just scaring himself, and hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness! Your Highness, you can't do this, I am the commander of the six products, and I must be the front secretary of the palace and the Privy Council to deal with it! Save me! Weiguo Camp soldiers save me! Help me......"

The cries for help shook the sky, but none of his subordinates dared to move.

"Noise." Zhao Mengqi waved his hand.

Two guards pressed Cai An even lower, and another knocked off his helmet and grabbed the bun on his head, stretching his neck.

Zeng Ba drew the knife, swung it down, his neck was broken, and blood spurted like a spring!

The cries for help stopped abruptly, only the blood fountain sneered, and the people around them even breathed as lightly as possible, and their hearts were shocked.

A military attache of the sixth grade, in a few words, killed when he said that he would kill, so that everyone really understood the power of the imperial power.

Zhao Mengqi stood on the carriage platform, stared coldly, and glanced around, "In the future, there will be those who provoke the imperial power and defy the royal law, just like this!" ”

All the Banzhi guards knelt down on one knee, "Long live the Great Song!" ”

All the soldiers of the Weiguo camp were all the same, kneeling and saluting, "Long live the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The rest of the gentry and the people, thousands of people present, all bowed down and saluted, "Long live the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

In the call of the mountain, Zhao Mengqi raised his head and looked at the sky, it's time for you to get to know me Zhao Mengqi again!

"Let's go!"

Zhao Mengqi turned around and returned to the carriage, and not long after, the queue moved, and the wheels rolled through the pool of blood and drove into Shaoxing City.

Seeing that her sister was still holding her head with her eyes closed, Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but smile, the movement was so loud just now, this girl must have heard a lot, but there was not much panic on her face.

Pinched her sister's face and made her open her eyes, "Okay, it's okay." ”

"Fourth brother, did you teach the bad guys a lesson just now?" Zhao Yan's eyes flashed.

"Yes, but there are some things that don't fit for you to see, you just have to be happy."

Zhao Yan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but nodded without hesitation, "Yan Niang listens to the fourth brother." ”

Speaking of which, Cai An was just used as a gunman, and if it was understood by ordinary people, there was no need to kill him.

But for Zhao Mengqi, if he wants to really gain a foothold in this world, he has to show his minions to the world, civil officials, he can't move for the time being, so he has to borrow Cai Anxiang's head to establish his authority.

As for whether those civil officials will make a fuss about this matter, he has actually carefully considered it, and it is unlikely, after all, the root cause of this matter is that the civil officials provoked trouble first, and when they got what they said under the sun, they couldn't take much advantage, and maybe they would have to be busy covering it up.

Playing conspiracy, Zhao Mengqi is definitely not the opponent of civil officials, but this is an imperial society, he is in charge of righteousness, and he can play yang conspiracy.
