"Lord Lu, what did His Royal Highness Taisun say? There are still 500 war horses in the camp, or I will lead people to kill them, scatter the enemy, and escort His Royal Highness Taisun away first. ”

As soon as he arrived at Lu Xin's side, the garrison general immediately put forward his own suggestions.

Lu Xin, who was sitting at the door of the big tent, holding a sword and swearing to protect His Royal Highness the Taisun.

glanced at the garrison general and shook his head, "The situation outside is unknown, it is too dangerous to leave with His Royal Highness Taisun, we just need to hold on to the camp and half of the city, and wait until dawn for the Shenji Battalion to rush back to rescue." ”

"But..."

Seeing that Lu Xin disagreed, the garrison general wanted to fight for it again.

Now he is a guilty body, and if he doesn't take some credit, he has some bottom in his heart.

"No, but."

Without waiting for the garrison general to speak, Lu Xin said sternly: "This is the order of His Royal Highness Taisun, do you want to disobey the order." ”

The garrison general opened his mouth, glanced at the closed tent, flicked his cloak and went to the side and sulked.

"Whew!"

Driving away the garrison general, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so afraid that this guy would be reckless, and he would break in and find no one in the tent.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, a rising star rose in the east.

"It's about the same, right?"

Glancing at the Oriental Daystar, Lu Xin muttered quietly.

According to the discussion between the two yesterday, the bright star is a signal to retreat.

"Woo woo woo~"

Suddenly, a horn sounded.

Immediately afterward, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves and killing cries came from a distance.

The garrison general, who was sitting sulking on the side, stood up and looked in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

Could it be that these bandits still have cavalry?

"Great, it's the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion who has returned."

Just when the garrison general was puzzled, Lu Xin suddenly yelled excitedly.

Hearing that it was the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion, the garrison general breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Shenji Battalion has 2,000 cavalry.

Outside this wide city, the bandits, who didn't carry many bows and crossbows, couldn't resist at all.

"Everyone listened to the order, the reinforcements have arrived, the Shenji Battalion is responsible for going out of the camp to clear out the traitors, and the garrison of Jinan Mansion will immediately enter the city to recapture the city."

Just as everyone craned their necks and looked in the direction of the killing shouts.

The big curtain behind Lu Xin was lifted, and the grandson Zhu Zhangui was draped all over, and walked out with a sword in his hand, announcing the next order.

"The last general commands!"

The garrison general, who was also looking at the battlefield with his neck stretched, heard the order given by Zhu Zhangui, and after kneeling on one knee and shouting the order, he hurriedly gathered his men to prepare for a counterattack on the city!

"Your Highness!"

Looking at Zhu Zhangui who suddenly appeared, Lu Xin bowed his hand, and then looked up at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui smiled at him and said softly: "230,000." ”

Lu Xin was overjoyed in his heart.

230,000 stone of grain, enough to solve the initial problem.

The other side.

After gathering his garrison generals, he led his men to the north city frantically.

He had expected it to be a fierce battle.

But when they arrived at the place, they were shocked to find that there was not even a shadow of a bandit.

"Fucking late, let them run."

Looking at the empty granary and the scattered corpses on the ground, the garrison angrily threw his helmet on the ground.

"Newspaper~"

Just when the garrison general was thinking about whether to go out of the city to chase after him.

A soldier hurried over.

Looking at the panicked soldiers, the garrison general asked unhappily, "What's going on again?" ”

The soldier swallowed and pointed to an area of the city.

"General Qiyu, when we were looking for bandits just now, we found that the Lin family's entire family had been destroyed, and the house was in a mess, and it was obvious that it had been looted."

"Damn it!"

The garrison general was stunned for a moment, raised his foot and kicked over the soldiers, and ran quickly towards the Lin family.

The reason why this guy is in such a hurry is because his favorite concubine is the daughter of the eldest young master of the Lin family.

Counting it, he can also be regarded as the son-in-law of the Lin family.

And more importantly, some of his money is still in the Lin family.

ran wildly all the way, and when he arrived, he saw that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had already taken over the Lin family.

And the grandson Zhu Zhangui was holding a letter in his hand, talking to Lu Xin, the political envoy.

Since the two of them did not speak loudly, the garrison general only vaguely heard some collusion and secret words of the bandits.

"See Your Highness, I've seen Lord Lu!"

The approaching garrison general clasped his fists and saluted.

Zhu Zhangui looked at him and asked, "How is it?" ”

The garrison general bowed his head in shame.

"When His Royal Highness rushed over, the bandits had already run away, the Lin family's granaries had all been emptied, and other losses were still being confirmed."

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you and the Lin family are in-laws!" ”

Although he couldn't figure out why Zhu Zhangui didn't ask the question of the bandits, but asked this, the garrison general still replied honestly: "Back to Your Highness, the concubine of the last general is the daughter of the Lin family." ”

Zhu Zhangui nodded and glanced at Lu Xin, waved his hand and ordered, "Take this person down." ”

The garrison general was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what was going on, he was pressed to the ground by Zhu Zhangui's guards.

"Your Highness, I don't know what crime the last general committed? Please also ask Your Highness to explain, so that the last general will die. ”

"Although half of the city was lost, the last general was also responsible, but when the last general was about to lead his troops to counterattack, the political envoy stopped the last general, which caused such a loss, and please ask Your Highness to know it!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the garrison general calmly, "Let's not mention the matter of the bandits entering the city and causing the loss of half of the city, let me ask you, is Sima the gatekeeper of the north city gate your nephew?" ”

The garrison general's heart tightened.

Although he couldn't figure out why his nephew was a bandit.

But the bandits did swagger in from the North City.

And his nephew and the hundreds of soldiers who defended the city also mysteriously disappeared.

His majesty was not strict, and he lost the city and land.

He couldn't escape this crime, and he couldn't escape it.

Looking at the garrison general who lowered his head, Zhu Zhangui indifferently lit up the letter in his hand.

"The Lin family forbade the bandits, and colluded with the bandits with the intention of assassinating me in order to achieve an ulterior secret."

"How is this possible? If they were fornicating with bandits, why did the bandits kill them? ”

The garrison general hurriedly defended loudly.

In the matter of his nephew, he was at most not strict with the emperor, and according to the laws of the court, he was dismissed and exiled at most.

But the crime of colluding with bandits and attempting to assassinate Taisun can't be sticky.

This is a goddamn sin against the Nine Clans.

Zhu Zhangui sneered and threw the letter in front of the garrison general.

"Because that bandit leader is not stupid, he entered the city to loot, although the court will encircle and suppress him, at most it will send some troops to clean them up, and they will not be forced to die."

"But if they assassinate me, the court will definitely do all its best to encircle and suppress them."

"By the way, the reason why I arrested you is not only your nephew's problem, but also the last content of the letter."

The garrison general looked down at the letter that had fallen in front of him.

This is a letter written by the leader of the bandits, which details the cause of the incident.

It is said that they were only forced by life, so they went into the city to loot food.

Sent people to attack the Shenji Battalion, just to entangle the Shenji Battalion and prevent it from coming over to fight them.

And in the letter it is stated that they did not harass the people when they entered the city, but only took food.

After they get the food and leave, they will immediately disperse and honestly become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

And in order to hide their names and not be investigated by the court in the future, they killed the people of the Lin family who knew their identities, and shook out the fact that the Lin family wanted to murder the grandson.

At the end of the letter, the gang also provided a message.

Some time ago, the disaster relief grain was burned, and it was the Lin family who instructed the garrison general to do it.

And it shows that what was burned was not actually grain, but just empty warehouses and some straw.

The real grain has already been pulled to the Lin family's warehouse by the garrison general.

"Slander... It's all slander, Your Highness... The last general is loyal to the imperial court, and he has been fighting for His Majesty for many years, how can the last general do such a deceitful and rebellious thing. ”

Zhu Zhangui sneered and looked at the garrison general who was struggling hard.

If this letter was really left by the bandits, he would still be suspicious, thinking that it might be the bandits' counter-plot.

But the bandits aren't real.

And this information was confessed by the gatekeeper Sima in the north of the city.

As a garrison general, when the relief food of the imperial court arrives, it is necessary for the garrison general to send someone to guard it.

With such a unique opportunity, the garrison general moved his mind to swallow this batch of disaster relief grain and hand it over to his father-in-law to sell, so as to make a lot of money.

After the grain was delivered, in order to prevent the imperial court from discovering it, the garrison general let his cronies, who were also his nephews, set a fire and directly burned the empty disaster relief grain reserve warehouse.

"Is it slander, you explain it to Jinyiwei and the officials of the Criminal Department!"

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand, and the two guards dragged away the garrison general who shouted loudly.

Look at the garrison general who was dragged away.

Lu Xin felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

He kind of got it.

His Royal Highness Taisun, this is going to make this guy top the tank!

Think about it too.

The city was breached by bandits, more than 230,000 stone of grain were robbed, and hundreds of people were killed, including even the theft of disaster relief grain.

Although the Lin family deserves to die, it should not die at the hands of bandits.

So many things have happened, the court must be held accountable, and someone must stand up and take responsibility for this.

Although Zhu Zhangui is the biggest here, he is the grandson and it is impossible for him to be pulled out of the top tank.

He, Lu Xin, is a person from His Royal Highness Taisun, and he is also involved in these things, so it is impossible for him to carry this black cauldron.

And it just so happened that this garrison general embezzled disaster relief food some time ago.

As a general defending the city, it is a serious dereliction of duty to let the bandits capture the city that is not defended.

And the most serious kind.

You said that if it was captured by the rebel army, it would be forgivable, after all, the other party can also be regarded as an army.

What is a bandit?

That's garbage in garbage.

You, a dignified garrison general, have been breached by bandits, and you are simply a waste of incompetence.

made a big mistake in front, plus the responsibility of losing the city, and he was not a person under Taisun.

You are not pulled out to take the blame, who is guilty.

As for whether this guy will say anything that shouldn't be said during future interrogations.

Lu Xin was not worried at all.

He can be guaranteed with his toes.

This guy will definitely commit suicide in fear before the sun comes out, and write his guilty plea on the wall.

The reason why Lu Xin knows so well what will happen to the garrison general next is because this set is already the most common routine in officialdom.

Looking at the entire officialdom of the Chinese court, in addition to those who are willing to carry the black cauldron, there are a few who are forced to carry the black cauldron and can survive for 12 hours.

Thinking about the fate of the garrison general, Lu Xin couldn't help but look at the corpse that was being moved by the soldiers, as well as Zhu Zhangui, who was appointing a new garrison general.

sighed lowly, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart:

"The world says that officialdom is ruthless, but how do they know that royal people are more black-hearted and ruthless than officials."
