Chapter 65: Victory in the First World War
readx;
In the far north of the desert, the early morning sun was still lazy and did not rise, and a few birds and finches looking for food fluttered their wings and pecked at the grass seeds on the ground, and suddenly seemed to be frightened, and flew to the sky in panic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His Majesty the Great Emperor Liang waved his long knife and shouted angrily, and countless brave Liang hot-blooded men launched a final charge, and the monstrous shouts and majestic horses' hooves almost shattered the earthquake.
On the slope of the falling horse, the young military god that the Hu people were proud of was shocked by the cold eyes, looked at the Liang soldiers who were surging like a tide, looked back at most of the injured but still fierce deployments, took out a longbow with a demonic luster, and shot a Liang soldier with a horse from a distance, and said lightly: "Fight to the death, and retreat tomorrow." ”
So, it was another battle to the death, and it was also a decisive battle.
Blood splashed on the face, can't tell if it's yours or mine, hold the long knife between the ribs, cut off the enemy's head, and cut off the arm, then pounce and bite the enemy's throat.
Forgetting the time and pain, countless Liang soldiers were personally on the battlefield by Emperor Liang to arouse the courage in their bones, at first it was still slight, and finally converged into a huge wave, with a wave of the long knife, killing the enemy or being killed, not forgetting to shout angrily:
"Fight to the death, success in a battle, glory is my life! Fight to the death, success in a battle, glory is my life!"
............ War is always a game for the brave, and the cowardly can only look up humbly.
...................................................................................................... Although the south of the Yangtze River in autumn is depressed, it can't compare to the bitter cold of Mobei after all, but I don't know why, it seems to be particularly cold and solemn today.
The pedestrians on the street cowered and watched the adult surnamed Chu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate walking through the long street with a team of people and horses murderously, retreated to the room in horror and closed the door, slapped and cried noisily to see the lively children, and covered the children's mouths again, for fear that the children's cries would attract the group of murderous people.
Chu Nan quietly looked at the general number of Hebisheng, which had been standing for a hundred years, and let the little guy cry and cry to report the news, waved his hand, and ordered: "Copy, not a single fly is allowed to go." ”
Nearly 100 wolf-like soldiers rushed into the hundred-year-old shop that looked very low-key and simple in front of them, and they didn't know that they were pitiful and cherished and thrown into the yard when they saw people, where there were also wide-eyed rough men watching, as long as the slightest scratch was an unceremonious knife handle, and it was your luck that you didn't faint.
Chu Nan stood outside the door and did not go in with everyone, Li Yong reminded softly: "My lord, go in." ”
Only then did Chu Nan retract his gaze on the plaque of the Hebisheng firm, which was said to be written by the first emperor himself, and could not support the glory of Hebisheng.
Now, when this hundred years of glory falls to the dust, let me be the most daring one in this hundred years, and send it to the grave with my own hands.
Chu Nan smiled and walked into the simple and elegant hall of Hebisheng, which enshrined the first generation of the shopkeeper of Hebisheng, and it was also the portrait of the ancestor of the Zhang family. The person in the portrait is dressed in green clothes, barefoot and wholesale, and there is no indication that he was a person who was once an emperor.
The big shopkeeper of Hebisheng has been detained, and the second shopkeeper of Hebisheng turned pale, and he still said to Chu Nan strongly: "My lord has come to the wrong place, this is the business name of Hebisheng, the imperial merchant appointed by His Majesty, and the plaque outside the door is still written by the emperor himself." ”
Chu Nan glanced at the man deeply, and said lightly: "So what? Since I dare to bring someone to seal it, I have sufficient evidence in my hand, I hope you are not too involved, otherwise you can only ask for more blessings." ”
The man's face turned even paler, he swallowed with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you say that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is ready to give up pursuing He Bisheng's case?"
Chu Nan laughed, and stopped laughing until the man was sweating profusely, and said, "That was before, and now I have the final say." ”
Outside the door, Jiang Yue, the prefect of Hangzhou, got off the horse in a hurry, holding on to the crooked official hat, stumbled in, looked at Chu Nan and said angrily: "Lord Chu, what are you doing, even if you want to arrest people, you have to communicate with my Hangzhou Mansion, when did the Metropolitan Procuratorate do things so unruly?"
Chu Nan sighed and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang is here, I've been waiting for a while." By the way, doesn't Lord Jiang know, now that Lord Liang is sick, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come according to my rules. ”
Jiang Yue looked at the people who were complaining all over the garden, and then looked at the second shopkeeper of Hebisheng, who was full of bitterness, and said: "No matter what, if you arrest people in the Hangzhou territory, you can't ignore my Hangzhou Mansion, today's matter can be regarded as Lord Chu's first power and don't understand the rules, but I will still report this matter to Your Majesty, and ask the Holy Lord to decide." ”
Chu Nan didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want, if I tell you about the arrest in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch anyone." ”
Jiang Yue was furious and scolded: "Lord Chu is cautious, this is slandering the imperial court officials in public!"
Chu Nan smiled faintly and asked Li Yong, "How many people have been caught in total?"
Li Yong cautiously looked at Jiang Yue, who was angry, and said: "A total of two hundred and three people have been arrested, and their identities have been verified. ”
Chu Nan nodded, reached out to take the roster, and flipped through it casually.
Jiang Yue calmed down and frowned: "The people who work in Hebisheng are all famous and well-known Hangzhou locals, if Lord Chu wants to check, he can find the official, but it's a big deal that the official will bring their household registration." ”
Chu Nan casually threw the roster back to Li Yong, and chuckled: "I naturally know that these people are innocent, and even if they are guilty, they are all trivial crimes, and they are not so popular with me." ”
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "The people who are going to rise are all here, what else does Lord Chu want? Could it be that Lord Chu is fighting such a big battle just to let the people of Hangzhou see your authority?"
Chu Nan laughed, glanced at the second shopkeeper of Hebisheng who bowed his head and said softly: "Who said that the people of Hebisheng are here? Who said that I came to arrest people?"
Chu Nan smiled and walked to the back hall of Hebisheng, only to see that the thirteen chairs lined up inside, which is the seat of the legendary thirteen shopkeepers of Hebisheng, many years ago, the thirteen big shopkeepers of Hebisheng were each responsible for a province, and according to legend, the authority was no less than that of the governor of a province.
Jiang Yue didn't know why, and frowned: "Lord Chu, you've made enough trouble, this is the Holy Land of Hebisheng, no matter how powerful you are, you can't insult the hundred-year-old Holy Land in the hearts of many people at will." ”
Chu Nan seemed to have heard a funny joke, couldn't help laughing, pointed to the second shopkeeper of Hebisheng and asked, "You ask him, who insulted here? Who betrayed the purpose of Hebisheng's establishment in the first place, and who gave up the Ming Xun of never going with foreigners?"
The second shopkeeper of Hebisheng was drenched in cold sweat, and said with a forced smile: "Lord Chu said that he laughed, Hebisheng is still the Hebisheng of a hundred years ago, and it has never changed by half a point, as for here, the thirteen shopkeepers are all out all the year round, and it is difficult to get together, so it often seems cold, if you want to check anything, just go and check, anyway, Hebisheng is doing right." ”
Chu Nan went to the front, looked up at the portrait on the front of the hall that was exactly the same as the outer hall, and asked, "This portrait seems to be some years old, right?"
Jiang Yue didn't know what Chu Nan was doing, so he turned his face away with a cold snort, and the second shopkeeper glanced at the portrait, lowered his head and said, "This portrait has been hanging here for decades, and the one in front is copied." ”
Chu Nan was surprised: "Decades, why do I look like I just hung up?"
Jiang Yue couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Chu, since all the people have been arrested and the accounts have been sealed, you don't care about these trivial matters anymore." ”
Chu Nan looked coldly at the second shopkeeper who was going to rise, and in the man's horrified eyes, he gently took off the huge portrait, threw it on the ground, and said lightly: "Now Lord Jiang will take a look at it, is this a trivial matter?"
Jiang Yue looked at the small door behind the portrait, swallowed his saliva, as if he had a premonition of something, his face twitched a few times from time to time, but he couldn't speak.
Chu Nan kicked open the door, and there was a small secret room in the door, and more than a dozen people looked at Chu Nan who suddenly broke in with some panic, and looked at the people sitting in a room, Chu Nan smiled lightly: "I just said, the people haven't finished arresting, but I didn't expect you to hide here." ”
Jiang Yue looked at the people sitting around in the gloomy secret room, and vaguely recognized a few of them as a few of the thirteen famous shopkeepers of Hebisheng, and the others were all fresh faces, and when he saw a few strong men dressed as Hu people, he finally couldn't help but say angrily: "What's going on? How can there be people from foreign clans here!"
Chu Nan looked at the messy ledger on the table and said with a smile: "It's not the people who matter, it's these accounts. ”
One of them seemed to be awakened, and reached for a few books of accounts on the table to place them on the flame of a burning candle behind him.
Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pulled the long knife on Li Yong's waist, only to see a miserable white knife flash, followed by a miserable wail, the wrist of the person who reached out to get the account was actually cut off by force, and the painful person's face twitched, he stood up and knocked down the chair behind him, and fell to the ground and shrunk into a ball.
The man's severed palm landed on the table, and the blood that flowed slowly soaked the surrounding books.
Chu Nan used the long knife in his hand to drop the palm of his hand to the ground, picked up a book of accounts and looked at it, and then threw it to Jiang Yue casually, and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang, look at it, the things in here are very exciting." ”
Jiang Yue opened it tremblingly, and looked at it, "The Hu people and the Hezhe clan have 5,000 strong bows, 50,000 arrows, 1.7 million taels of silver, and 3,000 war horses.................. waited for the entry, and finally couldn't help but stumble a few times, and was supported by the guards behind him so that he didn't fall to the ground.
Chu Nan ignored Jiang Yue, whose face was pale, and ordered Li Yong to take strict care of the people in the house, lightly glanced at the second shopkeeper of Hebisheng, who was already spread on the ground, shook his head and walked out.
The second shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and he shouted in despair: "How did you know about this secret room? How do you know that this is the day to settle the account? This is also a top secret in Hebisheng!" After speaking, he remembered something again, and laughed miserably: "Yes, it must be Wei Si's old horseman, he single-handedly buried Hebisheng, it must be!"
Chu Nan ignored the person who was already a little crazy, and walked into the courtyard and let out a long breath, Zhang Mingjing's information was really accurate, and now he finally turned the case into an iron case in front of so many people, no matter whether it will make many people unhappy, he has a credit after all.
Li Yong looked at Chu Nan with awe, handed over a piece of paper, and said, "My lord, according to your orders, the adults of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have sorted out a list of people involved in the case, please take a look." ”
Chu Nan looked at the dense names, and sure enough, as expected, he found the names of Zhang Pu and other Zhang family members, flicked the page lightly, and said with a smile: "You escort these people to Lord Jian, and send Lord Jiang back by the way, I will take people to arrest people, this time, I want to succeed in a battle!"
