Louzizhuang is located in the south of Changping City, there have never been so many soldiers in history, not the soldiers of the county patrol battalion, all of them are helmets and armor, and the soldiers who carry waist knives and hold firearms are all around, and the water around the whole village is impassable.

The people all came, and every pair of eyes revealed curiosity, looking at Jia Jue and the villagers who were surrounded by the soldiers, and looking at the house besieged by the soldiers.

Although they were all quiet, there was anxiety in the eyes of many people, and the bows and arrows were all facing the house with the door closed.

It didn't take long for this peace to be broken, the closed gate opened, and an old man with gray hair walked out, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, he was twisted by two soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion, and he struggled and shouted, "Lord! We don't have thieves! Please save my family!"

Jia Jue looked at him from afar.

After dealing with the matter of the king of Yizhong County, on the way back to the palace, Jia Jue received the information handed by Dong Shan, which was obtained by the Criminal Division from the captured black-clothed people, and rushed all the way, and finally arrived here at dawn, but unfortunately this group of thieves also fled into this house and hijacked the old man's family.

At this time, the villager spoke: "General, the old man guarantees the life of the whole family!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Wronged! Uncle Zhang's family won't be thieves!"

Jia Jue didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and he didn't look at the people around him, he waved his hand, the two soldiers let go of their hands, and the old man walked over.

"Master Jun, our ancestors of the Zhang family have been innocent white families for generations, even when *** put the knife on the neck of the ancestor, our Zhang family has never been a thief.....

"You only tell me what's inside!" Jia Jue interrupted him.

"The thief said, prepare a hundred military horses for them, and the official army will withdraw three miles to the south, and when they are safe, they will release the old man's family."

The old man surnamed Zhang thought for a while and said, "There are twenty-one of them, two of them are carrying burdens, and in addition, they poured vegetable oil on everyone, saying that as long as the officers and soldiers are released, everyone will die together."

Jia Jue stopped looking at him, and walked forward slowly, everyone's eyes were wide open, looking at him.

"Push the wall!"

As soon as the words fell, the two teams of soldiers began to hit the wall with two logs, and soon, cracks appeared in the earthen wall made of yellow mud, and after a while, the earthen wall fell down with a "bang" with the courtyard gate.

Followed by a team of soldiers carrying shields rushed in, at this moment, a black smoke burning explosive bag was thrown out of the house, at the same time, those shield soldiers also found out, immediately lined up in a defensive formation, the explosive bag fell to the open space in front of the shield and exploded, the explosion generated a wave of air to lift this group of shield soldiers high, fortunately there were no casualties, another team of shield soldiers rushed in, dragging the wounded soldiers out of the retreat.

At this moment, except for the old man surnamed Zhang and the villager elder, the onlookers scattered in all directions in the explosion.

Jia Jue's behavior completely subverted the perception of the chief of the guard, he didn't expect Jia Jue to forcibly attack regardless of the life and death of the hostages, and a guard on the side said, "He won't let us go, just kill these people, and then rush out and fight them!"

The chief guard shook his head: "These are the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for Jia Jue to really ignore the life and death of these people, these people are the foundation of our lives." As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood sideways by the window, secretly looking at Jia Jue's reaction, his side had already shown the cards, and he didn't believe that Jia Jue would not react.

The old man surnamed Zhang panicked, crawled over, and cried, "Master Jun! Please save the old man's family, I, I will make you a cow and a horse to repay you.....

Jia Jue's gaze was surprisingly cold, quietly looking at the room in front of him.

The head of the guard frowned, a transaction is a sale, and if there is an offer, there should be a counteroffer, but Jia Jue didn't speak, what does this mean? Could it be that the asking price is too high?

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Marquis Zhongwu, you are an official of the imperial court, you will never watch innocent people die in front of you, right, in this way, how about we give way, fifty military horses?"

After a while, an arrow was nailed to the ground through the window, and a note was attached to the shaft, and the captain of the guard took the note, unfolded it, and there were only three words on it: thirty horses.

Looking at the note, the chief of the guard finally smiled, as long as Jia Jue was willing to talk, then they had a chance to live, and shouted directly: "Fifty horses, otherwise we can only kill a few people."

Hearing this, those Zhang family members began to commotion, especially the children, who immediately cried and cried, and the head of the guard did not get angry, but stopped his subordinates, he didn't believe that Jia Jue would hold on.

Sure enough, Jia Jue aimed a long arrow tied with a note to this side, and slowly pulled the bowstring full, suddenly, he saw Jia Jue smiling and shooting arrows at his side, and the chief guard suddenly pulled a guard in front of him, the arrow was strong, this arrow not only pierced the body of the guard, but the arrow was nailed to his arm.

The head of the guard's face suddenly turned pale, he directly pulled out the arrow, and didn't care about bandaging the wound, took the note, unfolded it, and this time it was four words: twenty-nine.

Outside the earthen wall, Jia Jue slowly pulled the bowstring full, and as soon as the string was loosened, the arrow shot like lightning, and with a "poof" sound, a guard of the Beijing Palace's palace in the house was actually shot through the head by this arrow, and he fell to the ground without humming.

"Twenty-eight!" Jia Gui's voice came from outside the house.

Before he could say a word, Jia Jue pulled out his bow suddenly, and Leng Sen's arrow pointed at the room, with a string sound, the arrow whistled, and another Beijing palace guard was nailed to the ground by a powerful arrow.

"Twenty-seven!" Immediately after, Jia Gui's voice came.

The remaining guards were so frightened that they didn't care about anything else, so they hid directly behind the Zhang family and used them to block Jia Jue's arrows.

The chief guard's face turned blue and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Jia Jue, Lao Tzu agreed!"

Jia Jue laughed out loud and shot an arrow again, one of the guards who had just stood up was shot through the neck by this arrow, and the rest of the guards were shocked and hurriedly hid their bodies behind the Zhang family.

Jia Gui's voice came from outside the house: "This arrow is because you are disrespectful to the Hou Ye, after a stick of incense, twenty-six military horses will be sent."

The head of the guard turned pale, but he could only swallow this breath, thinking that if he could escape, he would definitely seek revenge on the Jia family.

Half an hour later, after sending off the chief of the guard and others holding the explosives bag, Jia Jue ordered someone to light a candle, which was used in the army to keep time, and it was an hour after a candle was burned.

The old man surnamed Zhang led his family over, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Please save my poor grandchildren." As he spoke, he prostrated himself more than once.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law knocked their heads even more loudly.

In order to save horsepower, the guards of the Beijing Palace's palace only took away the old man's grandchildren, so that they had nine more horses.

Jia Jue only looked at the candle and did not say a word.

Time is difficult, when the candle is halfway burned, Jia Jue took out the pocket watch from his arms and nodded, I have to admire the craftsmen of Daming, it is exactly half an hour.

At this time, Jia Gui walked in quickly and whispered, "Two thousand military horses have arrived, ready to set off at any time."

Jia Jue: "Got it. You said Zhao Xuan, can they stop people?"

Jia Gui was stunned for a moment: "I believe in the judgment of the Hou Ye."

Jia Jue smiled and nodded.

When the candle was about to burn out, there was a commotion outside the door, and a personal soldier walked in and reported, "Master Hou, the child has been rescued. The thieves laid down their children on the banks of the Elm River, and the lowly men watched them cross the river."

Jia Gui smiled: "It's really God! They really chose to go south from Shenjing, twenty-six horses, seventeen people, and in half an hour at most, they would crash into Zhao Xuan's ambush."

"It won't take half an hour, one person and three horses, and it's just a little more work with a stick of incense."

After saying that, Jia Jue stood up and ordered, "Leave immediately!"

............

Four of the eight pro-soldiers were standing on both sides of the gate of the Chungmudo Cave with swords on their shoulders.

The captain of the pro-soldier walked and stopped in front of the courtyard gate with a knife on his shoulder, and from time to time his eyes cruised back and forth.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the captain of the pro-soldier immediately cast his gaze.

I saw Jia Yu walking over sweating profusely.

The captain of the pro-soldier stepped forward and arched his hand, "Master!"

"Hmm."

Jia Yu nodded, and was about to go in, but was stopped by the captain of the pro-soldiers.

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly bowed down and replied, "If you go back to the master, there is a discussion going on inside."

Jia Yu: "I have something urgent."

The captain of the pro-soldier looked embarrassed: "This.... The girl commanded, and no one was seen at this time.....

Jia Yu said to him with a solemn face: "I am really in a hurry, in this way, I will not embarrass you, you go and report it, this is always okay, right?"

The captain of the pro-soldier gritted his teeth: "Good! Wait a minute, sir, and the little one will report it!" With that, he trotted in.

Zhongwu Hall, a screen was placed in the center of the side hall, dividing the side hall into the inner and outer rooms, Daiyu sat behind the screen, Zijuan and Amber were waiting on the side, and Jiao Da led Jia Huan to stand outside the door.

After reading Jia Jue's letter, Daiyu thought sharply for a moment, took a piece of notepaper, took a pen and ink, wrote five names on the paper, handed the notepaper to Amber, and said to Jiao Da who was standing outside the door: "Tell them that as long as the news reaches Shenjing, they will immediately fold the bullet to impeach the Hou Ye, and it is best to persuade the Qingliu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Guozijian and the Hanlin Yuan to fold together, the bigger the momentum, the better, to give people the feeling of party struggle."

Jiao Da took the paper and took a closer look, two of the five civil officials were officials of the emperor's year, and the other three he only knew the secretary of the general administration, he folded the paper, thought about it, and asked, "Do you need to spread the news of King Beijing's defection in advance?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and waved her hand, "No need, Master Hou has other plans for this matter."

Hearing this, Jiao Da was stunned for a moment, quietly glanced at Daiyu sitting behind the screen, and then bowed down and replied, "Yes."

At this moment, the captain of the pro-soldier strode over and reported, "The master is here, saying that there is an urgent matter."

Hearing this, Daiyu's heart moved, and she stood up and said, "Please come in." Then he said to Jiao Da, "This matter is up to Mrs. Lao."

"Don't dare!" Jiao Da bowed and asked, "Does the girl have anything else to order?"

"If there's something, I'll ask someone to ask for a master."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Jia Yu hurriedly coming, and Jiao Da hurriedly bowed, "Master!"

Jia Yu: "You can get busy." Walked straight in.

Behind the screen, Daiyu said, "Remove this screen. Fang is a foreigner, and my uncle is my own family."

Amber and Purple Juan: "Yes." Hurriedly withdrew the screen to the side.

"Say hello to my uncle."

Daiyu stepped forward and saluted, invited Jia Yu to sit down, took the tea tray in Zijuan's hand and served the tea personally.

Jia Yu took a sip of the tea bowl and said with a smile, "You are still filial, not like that evil obstacle!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that Jia Yu's forehead was covered with fine sweat, she hurriedly said to Amber, "Go and fetch a basin of water."

Jia Yu hurriedly replied, "No need, I'll tell you something, and I'll leave after that."

Daiyu: "Uncle, please speak."

Jia Yu: "The second brother handed back a letter from the yamen, you can take a look." As he spoke, he pulled the letter out of his sleeve and handed it over.

Daiyu unfolded the letter and said, "The third brother's letter has arrived, and we have already responded to it." Suddenly, Daiyu let out a "hmm", and her face suddenly became solemn.

Jia Yu sighed: "That's the imperial tomb of the first emperor, there is such a big thing, he doesn't know how to converge, those eunuchs are the emperor's house slaves, and a big crime of disrespect can't escape." And King Yizhong, hey, if you're really crazy, forget it, I'm afraid of pretending to be crazy!"

After reading the letter, Daiyu gently closed it and pondered it.

Jia Yu: "This kid is too impatient."

Daiyu smiled: "Your Majesty's injury is indeed unexpected, but the third brother is also doing this to make amends."

Jia Yu: "Oh?"

Daiyu: "This matter is very complicated, I can't say clearly, but it's not so bad, I guess at most, demoted to a knight, to an earl."

Hearing this, Jia Yu had a bottom in his heart, and stood up with a smile: "I'm also tired, so I'll go back first, and you should also pay attention to rest."

............

Jia Jue choked and pulled out the saber in his soldier's waist, slashed it around the neck of the chief of the guard, threw away the blood-stained waist knife, immediately turned over on his horse, and ordered loudly: "Leave fifty people to deal with the aftermath, and the rest will follow me to Tianjin."

Tianjin was originally known as Haijin Town, the Yongle Emperor went south to rebel through this place to rest, and then, he attacked all the way, frequently successful, then gave the name "Tianjin", which means: the place where the Son of Heaven crossed Tianjin.

The moonlight splashed quietly on the city wall, and the city of Tianjin was peaceful.

It was the end of the hour, and a group of gunmen were paraded along the city walls.

"Who!" The patrol soldiers on the castle tower asked.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed to the city and shouted, "I have been ordered by the army to arrest the rebels, and the army led by the Marquis of Zhongwu has crossed the river and is about to enter the city."

"Ahh The city gate guard was shocked, if the military department transferred troops to come, he should have been notified in advance, but he did not dare to slack off, after all, Zhongwu Hou still had the post of military department secretary, which was his top boss, thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Is there a warrant from the ministry?"

"Here's the warrant, put down the basket quickly!"

"Quick! Put down the basket!" The guard hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take Jia Jue's warrant with a hanging basket, and looked at it carefully in the light of the fire, he didn't know Jia Jue's handwriting, but he knew the big seal on it, and put the warrant close to him, and then ordered: "Open the city gate!"

"Click", the huge gate slowly opened.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and I saw a fire dragon galloping along the official road.

"It's coming!"

The cavalry rushed to the city in an instant, and the guards gave a military salute: "See the department!"

Jia Jue: "The matter is urgent, you immediately lead the way, and the Yipinlou in Dongcheng will arrest the rebels."

"No!"

The guard shouted in response, got on the horse that his own soldiers had given up, clamped the horse's belly, and ran into the city.

A thousand horsemen poured into the city at once, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly crisp in the quiet streets, the barking of dogs on both sides of the streets, and the lights of many houses.

"Ministry, that's Yipinlou." The guard pointed to a two-story restaurant and shouted.

The lights had already been lit up in the restaurant, and the sound of horses' hooves had already alarmed them, and they saw that someone rushed out of the restaurant, and when they saw that it was a large group of cavalry, they immediately shouted: "Run, it's officers and soldiers!"

"Look for death!" Jia Gui roared, pulled out his waist knife, and slashed his head, the knife was extremely fast, and the person's head immediately flew out.

"Fence it on all sides, don't let any of them go, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

As soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows roared, and immediately several cavalrymen were hit by arrows, fortunately with armor, Jia Jue was furious and ordered: "Release the gun!"

Rows and rows of firefighters exchanged shots, and there was a terrible cry in the restaurant, and the dense sound of firecrackers immediately alarmed the whole city.

Jia Gui immediately shouted, "Listen, the people inside immediately raise their hands and come out, otherwise they will be killed!"

"Spare your life! We don't dare anymore, spare our lives!" The broken door of the restaurant opened, and more than 20 men walked out with their heads in their hands, and there were bursts of wails in the restaurant, and a team of soldiers stepped forward to control them, and more than 20 people knelt on the ground.

Jia Jue: "Where is the water soluble?"

Those men all looked at the old man kneeling beside him, and the old man stood up, looked at Jia Jue and said, "Lord Hou is late, and the prince has already left Daming by boat before dusk."

"Oh?"

Jia Jue grabbed the horse's belly, stepped forward to look at him carefully, and asked, "Do you know Benhou?"

"I once followed the housekeeper to Rongguo Mansion to give gifts, and I have seen the Hou Ye from afar."

Jia Jue nodded, "Take them all down."

and carefully search the first building."

A group of sword and shield men rushed in, and after a while they retreated, and reported, "Great Marshal, there are some dead bodies and a dozen wounded inside."

"Search!"

After about half an hour, Jia Gui hurriedly walked out and said in a low voice: "Third master, more than a dozen large boxes have been found in the backyard, which are full of jewelry, jade and antique calligraphy and paintings, and it is estimated that they have not been transported to the ship yet."

"That's all?"

Jia Jue pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered, "Search carefully again to see if there is anything that has not been discovered, especially the secret passage of the secret room."

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, Jia Jue sighed slightly, originally he didn't want to get involved in the water-soluble thing, who thought that the emperor was assassinated in the palace and was seriously injured, although it is the duty of the forbidden army to protect the emperor, but who makes himself the nominal commander of the guard, the king of Yizhong County himself has no choice, but the water dissolution can be used to push him to the surface, no matter how the Qingliu impeachment themselves, the cabinet has to be pressed, and the military has to exonerate themselves, and they have to wash the imperial tomb in blood to give them a step.

The world is unpredictable!
