Cai Wen said: "Don't forget, your brother and two uncles are in charge of the defense of the royal city, and if he is implicated, his life may not be guaranteed." ”

Weng Tong grinned: "It's best to die in this matter, if they die, my status will be improved." The Weng family had better fight as a big rebellion, in this way, the Weng family would be mine. ”

"You're really vicious." Cai Wen said hatefully.

Pan House.

The spice-smoked quilt exuded a pleasant scent, the heavy curtain blocked the cold wind outside the window, and a servant girl dozed off by the bed, ready to accept the call of her master.

Pan Ying on the bed slept sweetly, and in his sleep, his face did not have a worried expression, but was full of smug looks.

He is the third official and the ruler of the country, above 10,000 people under the Ryukyus.

Now that the Ming ship is visiting, he is not afraid, because he has already found out that the ship is not a messenger of the Ming Kingdom, but more likely to be from the Oriental Trading Company.

First find out the other party's intentions through Cai Jin, and then deal with it, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, just deceive the past, as for the Oriental Trading Company, a group of businessmen, even if they have swords and guns, so what, what the businessmen are looking for, what they want, just give it themselves.

Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door woke up the half-asleep maidservant, she stretched and got up, waited for a while, thinking that maybe the outsiders had retreated by themselves, but the hurried knock on the door woke Pan Ying up.

"Go and see, what's going on, which nonsense who doesn't know how to die, is trying to be beaten." Pan Ying and Yi got up and scolded in their mouths.

The maidservant walked to the door and muttered, "It's you who are scolding the master, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

At this time, the knocking on the door stopped, and before the maid could open the door, she smelled a smell of blood from the crack in the door, and when she opened the door, she saw that the butler was standing there, motionless, and a bright knife was being drawn from his chest, and the butler's body rolled directly to the side.

"Ahh The maid screamed, but her mouth was covered by an iron-gloved hand.

"Who's messing around outside." Pan Ying walked out and saw corpses all over the ground, and under the porch, a group of disheveled men and women kneeling on the ground, it was his wife, concubine and children.

Pan Ying's eldest son has an official position and scolded loudly, but he was lifted by the neck and slapped more than a dozen times in the mouth.

"Cai Jin, it's you, are you going to rebel?" Pan Ying shouted.

Cai Jin frowned, he was also a little uncomfortable with the bloody nature here, but he still said boldly: "This official has already explained the internal situation of Ryukyu to the envoy of the upper country, and the angel is furious, and angrily reprimanded me for being one country and two genera of Ryukyu, and I want to ask you for blame." ”

"What nonsense with him!" Tang Mu didn't want to delay, with a wave of his hand, two armor soldiers rushed over and dragged Pan Ying directly into the room, Tang Mu called the maid: "Go and dress your master." ”

The maidservant girl immediately dressed Pan Ying, and Tang Mu's subordinates tied him to the screen and poured a stall of rum into it with a funnel.

Half an hour later, the royal city.

When the general of the Janissary guarding the royal city, Weng He, was patrolling to the south gate, he heard a burst of cannons in Shuri Castle, and then there was a fire in the house, and Weng He immediately gathered people to watch the city gate, but in the distance, there was a fire dragon galloping forward, and he got closer, and with the help of the moonlight, Weng He could see that it was not soldiers and horses, but people dressed as servants and soldiers, and there were many young women in it.

Among them are several sedan chairs, and the sedan chair driver is running quickly.

"Weng He, are you on duty today?" Cai Jin came out of the sedan chair with a panicked expression, saw Weng He, and stepped forward.

"Lord Cai, what's wrong?"

"Oh, the Eastern thieves have entered the city, and they are killing people in the city, and they are fighting with the samurai of the Lord of the mountain." Cai Jin said.

"The East Thief? Those Ming boats are disguised as thieves? Weng He asked.

Cai Jin said: "The city gate has been lost, General Weng, quickly open the gate of the royal city, and let the official and the family of Master Pan go in and hide." ”

As he spoke, another sedan chair rushed over, and Weng He opened the sedan chair and saw a drunken Pan Ying, looking at himself with confused eyes.

Weng He hesitated: "Lord Cai, this palace is ....... the gate." ”

"Onga!" Cai Jin raised his voice, as if he was about to get angry, but he lowered his voice again: "There are thousands of thieves in the east, and the city gate has been lost. Now only Wang Cheng can save our lives, what are you doing here, why don't you bring someone to rescue your family quickly. ”

Weng He was reminded like this, and immediately patted his head, what Cai Jin said was that if he stopped Cai Jin from entering, what would happen if his family came.

"Open the gates ........"

Cai Jin returned to the sedan chair: "General Weng, this official and Master Pan went into the city to protect His Highness, you can save your family, you must carefully arrange Wang Wei." ”

As he spoke, seven or eight palanquins and dozens of servants rushed into the royal city.

Intramuros.

Yes!

A terrible scream came from outside, and Shang Xian, who had been awakened, frowned, what was going on outside, why didn't anyone come to report it, could it be that the enemy had killed him? But who is the enemy? Is it the heavenly soldiers from the Ming fleet, or the Japanese people in the building?

Help, help.

The shouts came closer, but finally turned into a terrible scream, and there was no more sound.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the temple door being knocked open came, and the timid Shangxian immediately ran into the bedroom, got into the quilt, and kept shouting: "Escort, escort!" ”

The sound retraced through the spacious hall, but no one responded, only the wails and begs of the dying could be heard from outside, and then the sound of hurried footsteps entered the bedroom.

"Your Highness, it's Weichen, Cai Jin." Sang-hyun's pouting ass was spanked, which made him excited, and then he heard a gentle voice.

Shang Xian heard Cai Jin's voice, lifted the quilt, and saw Cai Jin holding a bloody knife, he shrunk his neck in fright, and the room was busy, someone was carrying the body inside, and there was another person lying by the window, it was Pan Ying.

"Pan Ying, he's dead..... Is he dead? Sanghyun asked in surprise.

"No, he's drunk." Cai Jin said.

Sang-hyun asked, "Why are you drunk, at this critical time." ”

"This was his last enjoyment, and he knew that if he killed the king, he would surely die, so he was drunk." Cai Jin said lightly.

"He killed the king? Which king? Shang Xian was puzzled, but the knife in Cai Jin's hand stabbed into his chest, and at the last moment of his life, he saw that the knife that killed him was pulled out, and then Cai Jin put it in Pan Ying's hand, and threw it together, as well as two broken wine jars.

"Let's go, get out of here." Tang Mu reached out to probe Shang Xian's nose and found that he was not breathing, so he immediately grabbed Cai Jin and left.

Half an hour later, the palace gate.

Weng He escorted his relatives to the palace, but when he saw that his men were waiting for him, he nodded with satisfaction and said to the mother of the sedan chair: "Mother, you go to the palace first, go to Lord Pan and Master Cai, and the children will be on duty here." ”

"General, Lord Cai's sedan chair left just now, and he took more than thirty people with him, saying that he was going to deal with the people of the Imperial Division." A Wang Wei said to Weng He.

Weng He smashed his fist in the palm of his hand: "Your Highness is really nonsense, you actually let such a civil official as Lord Cai do dangerous things." ”

But he didn't say anything, but closed the city gate after entering the city, but soon, the sedan chair of the Weng family turned back, and Weng He's younger brother was covered with blood and shouted: "All dead, big brother, all dead." ”

"Who died?"

"His Royal Highness died, and Lord Pan's family was also killed, and in the main hall, Lord Pan killed His Highness, and he killed His Highness."

Weng He smashed his younger brother with a punch: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will cut your tongue. ”

But he was not at ease, when he heard that the king was dead, he immediately took someone to hurry to see it, and when he arrived at the door of the palace, the sedan chair turned over and covered the ground with corpses, all of which were the family members brought by Pan Ying and Cai Jin just now, and he rushed into the hall again, and saw that the king was covered in blood, leaning on the side of the bed, and he was dead without looking away, while Pan Ying was full of wine and lying on the ground.

Weng He couldn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, and slapped Pan Ying a few times, Pan Ying woke up leisurely and asked, "Who is it..... He made a second ....... What about Cai Jin, he rebelled, but he wanted to kill his own official? ”

"Cai Jin rebelled?" Weng He heard this crucial information and thought that Cai Jin had entered the royal city and left the royal city, and the king had died during the period.

And now, Pan Ying's family died in the royal city, and his own family entered the royal city, doesn't it mean that he rebelled with Pan Ying and killed the king?

It's dawn.

Chen Liuzi led his troops and horses into the city and controlled the main roads in the city, while Cai Jin came forward and announced that Pan Ying and Weng He would unite with the Japanese to rebel and kill the king. Immediately afterwards, a ban on the streets was issued, and at the same time, the nobles were appeased not to act rashly.

In the early hours of the morning, Weng He led his troops to rush out, trying to escape by the way, but was fired by the musketeers for several volleys, and shrank back, leaving more than 40 corpses, so that the poor Wang Wei, who was already small, lost a small half.

"Lord Cai, only punish Pan Ying, Weng He and his henchmen, and don't kill ordinary people." Chen Liuzi said to Cai Jin.

"Of course, when a new king ascends the throne, he still needs to be served." Cai Jin replied.

In the sedan chair on the side, the young Shang Zhen's face turned red, and he said, "The widow wants to kill Pan Ying with his own hands to avenge Brother Wang." ”

It's just that Chen Liuzi didn't take his words seriously, only Cai Jin, who was gentle and comforting, let Shang Zhen pay attention to etiquette.

The building is the second largest building in Shurijo Castle, second only to the royal castle, and it is also called the Angel Hall, and it is the residence of the Ming Kingdom envoy when he came to canonize it, but it is used as the seat of the Satsuma clan on weekdays.

The building occupies a large area, the courtyard walls are high and thick, and there are many rooms inside, at this time Shuri and the surrounding Japanese gathered here, and the chaos of last night put them on guard, and there were several corpses at the entrance of the building, which were accidentally approached by the Japanese people who were shot and killed on the spot.

"There are about 300 people in it, and most of them are men, but they are mainly businessmen." Tang Mu said to Zheng Tingqiu beside him.

"Look at the corpses on the ground, the people inside have firearms." Zheng Tingqiu said.

"Not only that, but the bow and arrow are also good. But when you enter it, the gold, silver, and copper coins are yours, and the goods and people belong to the trading company, and none of the people who serve them are kept. Tang Mu said to Zheng Tingqiu.

Zheng Tingqiu said: "What if there is very little gold and silver? ”

"If it's less than three thousand taels, I'll make it up for you from the Ryukyu King Treasury." Tang Mu said.

Zheng Tingqiu grinned: "Deal." ”

With a wave of his hand, his subordinates pushed a shield cart, with a two-inch-thick wooden board nailed in front of the shield cart, covered with several layers of bedding, and two powder kegs tied to it.

"It's better to use one less powder keg, the door of the pavilion is broken, the building is destroyed, where will the envoys of the court live?" Tang Mu said.
