Chapter 272: Assassin of the Thief Army

Jiang You has been terrified in the past few days, and he never thought that Luzhou City was so terrible.

Since he was promoted to the rank of first officer, he has been doing his best in civil affairs for more than 20 years, never taking troops with him, never going to the frontier, and even leaving Tokyo a limited number of times.

It is precisely because I only know the depth of the pen and ink, and I know the length of the knife and gun.

Unexpectedly, on the first night of entering this Luzhou City, he was assassinated, which bluffed him into three souls out of his body, and the seven spirits ascended to heaven.

The one who came to assassinate was a snitch who came and went, wearing a terrifying mask that seemed to cry and laugh, and the big knife in his hand was dazzling, and he was actually regarded as Zhao Tan, the king of Qi.

With a knife, his hair was torn, and if it wasn't for the timely rescue from outside the door, his life would have been explained here.

It's no wonder that Zong Ze, who has no eyes, actually placed him in the best mansion in Luzhou, isn't that the most dangerous place? Any thief assassin would want to assassinate here!

Jiang You suddenly understood why Zhao Ta lived in an ordinary mansion, because no one would have expected that a prince would live in such a humble place.

He immediately asked Zong Ze to change his residence, and then his heart settled down, but who knew that within two days, he would be assassinated again.

In fact, it was not an assassination, because it was not a thief army that came, but a thief who stole things, swept away the gold and silver in the house, and even swept away the holy decree, and at the end he used a knife to intimidate, so that he was not allowed to call and shout, feeling the chill of the cold blade rubbing against his skin, Jiang You's soul was in full swing, and after this time he was frightened, he fell ill directly.

How did Zong Ze know that Huang Gu was so ruthless, so he had to cooperate with the transfer of troops to surround the house, and guard day and night to prevent idle people from approaching.

Jiang You was lying on the bed at this time, just finished drinking the bitter medicinal soup, looking at Fang Liang with blank eyes, it was not a joke to lose the holy decree, and he didn't dare to say anything about this matter.

Originally, I wanted to reprimand Zong Ze for poor protection, and let the thieves sneak into the house to steal the holy decree, but then I thought it was wrong, Zong Ze was not an official of Luzhou City, but a person in the army, even if the protection was not effective, but this crime was not easy to ask, the holy purpose was here at home, no matter how much you asked, it was a big crime for yourself.

It is impossible for the official family to ask Zong Ze, only to ask their own family, as a secretary of the ministry, how did you lose my holy decree!

The official family is a face-loving person, and the matter of losing the holy decree is different from others, and other things may be symbolically punished, and then it will pass, and the holy decree is lost, so that the official family will lose face in front of the Korean and Chinese army, and he must be blamed, saying that he cannot be removed from his post and investigated, or ...... Directly to prison?

Thinking of this, even though it was early autumn weather, Jiang You still sweated profusely.

There is only one way to plan for now, and that is to consult with King Qi and ask King Qi to help hide this matter.

Because the holy decree is for the king of Qi, as long as the king of Qi is silent, then no one will know that it is lost, and no one will be idle to ask the king of Qi if he has received the holy decree.

But will King Qi agree? If he had insight into his true intention of coming to Luzhou this time, I am afraid that he would never allow it, if he didn't see it, there was still a possibility of three points, but it was only three points, after all, it was a crime of deception to conceal this matter.

He was lying on the bed and had a headache, and at this time, a report came from outside, saying that Zong Ze asked to see him.

Jiang You was about to recruit him, so he asked people to come in, and he also got up from the bed, calmed down, reluctantly put on a majestic posture, and sat and waited.

Zong Ze came in to salute and said, "How is Shangshu's illness, can it be seen that it has improved?" ”

Jiang You said: "It's okay, there is no need to worry about this official here, but what about the prince's side?" ”

Zong Ze said: "The lower officials came here for this matter, the prince can already get out of bed and walk around, and he is thinking about seeing Shangshu." ”

Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said yes repeatedly, and then asked when it was appropriate to go.

Zong Ze said: "The prince said that Shangshu can go at any time, and he is waiting to receive the order." ”

Jiang You was anxious, and when he heard the words, he said: "Go now, go now!" ”

Zong Ze was puzzled when he saw him so urgent, he didn't know the matter of the holy decree, so he hurriedly responded, and then Jiang You called his relatives to change his official uniform and walked out.

The sun outside is very dazzling, Jiang You has not gone out for a few days, and at this moment he has a great feeling of being separated from the world, and he just wants to return to Beijing immediately after meeting the king of Qi to discuss the holy decree, and this bullshit Luzhou City does not want to stay for a moment.

When he arrived at the door of the house where Zhao Ta lived, he asked the soldiers to go in to report, and after a while, Huang Gu came out and said, "The prince is waiting in the hall, and Shang Shu is going with him." ”

Jiang You looked at Huang Gu, and couldn't help but think of the three words "no interest" in his heart, and then followed him into the house until the middle hall.

I saw that the middle hall was smoking incense at the moment, and Zhao Ta was sitting at the table drinking tea, his face was a little pale, and he looked like he was not in good spirits.

Jiang You thought to himself, I am afraid that the injury is not all healed, and then he remembered that his family was assassinated, and secretly said that there are crises everywhere in this Luzhou City, and it is strange to have spirit.

He stepped forward to salute, and Zhao Ta smiled and said, "Let Jiang Shangshu wait for a long time, sit down and talk." ”

Jiang You sat down, thinking about words in his heart, but heard Zhao Ta say again: "These Japanese kings are anxious, just looking forward to being able to get out of bed and walk, and return to Beijing immediately after receiving the order." ”

Jiang You was stunned when he heard this, and said, "The prince is in a hurry to return to Beijing? ”

Zhao Ta nodded and said: "I'm in a hurry, this has been out for a long time, the battle has made people sleepy and tired, and the soldiers are impatient, now that Huaixi has recovered, the overall situation has been decided, and we will set off after receiving the order." ”

Jiang You didn't expect Zhao Ta to be in a hurry to leave, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he listened to Zhao Ta and said: "This king is not as good as Jiang Shangshu, there is no chief official in Huaixi at the moment, and the original appeasement made Zhang Julu know that he was guilty, and he was waiting to return to Beijing to receive the crime, Jiang Shangshu wanted to live in Luzhou for a while longer, and presided over the handover of Huaixi Prefectures." ”

"Huh?" Jiang You struck a stirring spirit when he heard this, he didn't want to stay in Luzhou for a moment, if Zhao Ta took the army away, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the officials who came to take up the post have been appointed, and it is better for the Lord to take the initiative to preside over the matter." ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and said, "Jiang Shangshu, where is this, this king raises the pro-military division, commands the army to fight against thieves, and is in charge of military affairs, how can this king interfere in such local affairs?" Wouldn't that be overstepping, not to mention that Jiang Shangshu is in charge of the ministry, which is where the duty lies, what is the matter with this king presiding! ”

Jiang You immediately saw sweat on his forehead when he heard this, he couldn't let Zhao Ta leave his family and take the army away, this Luzhou city is very dangerous, tens of thousands of troops are suppressed here and the law and order is in chaos, if the army leaves, he can't say what it looks like, he is afraid that he will die here if he is left alone.

"Lord Wang, in fact, there is nothing to preside over in Huaixi, the officials have been appointed, and the lower officials such as money, taxes, soldiers, and food cannot be the masters, and they have to go back to Beijing to ask the officials, and when the government and the central government send the chief officials, everything can be restored."

Zhao Ta was puzzled: "Then Jiang Shangshu means ......"

"When will the prince leave, the lower officials will return to Beijing with him." Jiang You sneered.

Zhao Ta thought for a while when he heard this, and said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, Jiang Shangshu still hurriedly read out the holy decree, and after receiving the decree, the king immediately arranged the matter of returning to Beijing!" ”
