Wang Dashanren asked inexplicably: "What happened to me?" Ridiculous, but tell me, what did I do? ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly became serious, and replied sharply: "Just five days ago, His Majesty's pro-conquest army marched to Tumu Fort and was suddenly attacked by the Wara cavalry. 500,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty, the whole army was wiped out, almost all the noble ministers who accompanied him were killed in battle, and His Majesty's life and death are unknown. ”

When everyone present heard this, they were all shocked, and Wang Dashanren was even more shocked that his face was like earth, and he almost fell to the ground.

Steward Wang was the first to react and shouted: "Nonsense, Your Majesty has an army of 500,000, how can the whole army be wiped out." You bewitch the people and curse Your Majesty. If someone comes, take this person down quickly and escort him to the government. ”

The royal family surrounded one after another, and the guards of the palace also drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the conflict between the two sides was about to break out.

Zhu Qiyu's face did not change, the wind was light, and he smiled very confidently: "Calculate the time, the latest newspaper should have arrived at the prefect's yamen, you can send someone to ask." ”

When Steward Wang heard this, he said fiercely: "Okay, I'll go in person." If not, I will directly ask the prefect to come and deal with you. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled lightly and made a gesture of please.

Steward Wang glared at Zhu Qiyu viciously, and then hurriedly left with a few people.

Since Mochizuki Tower is in the most prosperous place in the city, it is very close to the government. So after a while, Steward Wang and his party came back violently, and also brought officials and officials.

As soon as Steward Wang arrived, he smiled triumphantly at Zhu Qiyu: "Silly, this is Master Zhang, the prefect, you can talk to Master Zhang." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "What's the matter, the Di newspaper hasn't arrived yet?" It may be that the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing are sending their families to Nanjing, and it may be that the post road is blocked. Wait, wait, the newspaper will arrive soon. ”

When the prefect heard this, he said angrily: "What are you waiting for, who are you, why are you gathering here to make noise and confuse the people, do you know the guilt?" ”

Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked Cheng Jing to pass the big inner waist card, and threw it to Governor Zhang, but he still smiled in his mouth: "I know my guilt, I know my guilt, how can I not know my guilt."

It's just that I heard that the headquarters of the Daning Command Envoy is in Baoding Mansion, or you send someone to ask, the military report there should be earlier than your mansion. ”

Governor Zhang looked at the waist card in his hand, but he didn't dare to make a mistake easily, and turned his head to look at Steward Wang.

Steward Wang couldn't, so he had to go to Daning to command the envoy again.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu secretly admired himself in his heart: the energy of this family is really not small, if you want to enter the prefect's yamen, you can enter the prefect's yamen, and if you want to enter the command department, you can enter the command department, which is as easy as visiting your own home.

The yamen of Daning's command envoy was not far away, and the king steward came back after a short time. It's just that Steward Wang, who came back this time, became depressed, depressed, and still held a military newspaper in his hand.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Dashan hurriedly got up and grabbed the military newspaper, only glanced at it, and then sat back in his chair, his hands hung down weakly, and even the military newspaper fell to the ground.

Governor Zhang didn't care about putting up a shelf, and was busy picking up the general's newspaper and looking at it carefully.

The people watching around, seeing everyone's reaction, knew that Zhu Qiyu was empty, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, and the discussion was raging.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "Do you still want to arrest me?" ”

Governor Zhang, Wang Dashanren, and Steward Wang looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Wang Dashan who reacted first, and asked angrily: "What you said about the defeat of the Ming army is true, but so what?

What does this have to do with the outside of my own staff, why do you say that my incident happened, and why did you rob my slave girl? Could it be that because of the defeat of the Ming army, you won't break the law if you rob my slave girl? ”

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, was speechless, and asked rhetorically: "What did you do, don't you understand in your heart?" ”

"I don't understand."

"Since you don't understand, why were you scared like that when you heard that the Ming army was defeated? If you want me to make it clear in public, then I'll do what you want.

Let's think about it, the desert is desolate and bitterly cold, how many handfuls of grain and rice are in the hands of the Mongols? How can it support a long-term offensive of 200,000 troops? The reason why Warat was able to use a large army and Koubian for a long time was because the big merchants of Shanxi and Zhili were collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, transporting grain, grass and baggage to Warat.

And you, Wang Dashan, are one of them. Miss Lin beside me overheard your traitorous remarks about collaborating with the enemy and crimmed it to me, which is an important witness.

So even if Miss Lin is your slave girl, I can't give her back to you. You go home and wait for the inquiry, everyone in the family is not allowed to go out, and Governor Zhang, you go and send an official to seal the Wang family. Tomorrow at the latest, there will be court officials rushing to Baoding Mansion. ”

Wang Dashanren was bluffed, raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Qiyu tremblingly, and angrily reprimanded: "Slander, slander, this is groundless slander." Come on, arrest them all. ”

The subordinates of the Wang family only responded to the peace, but they all hesitated, and no one dared to step forward.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, turned to Governor Zhang's mansion again, and asked with a smile: "Master Prefect, how do you choose?" Is it loyal to the imperial court, or is it shielding and informing the traitors and openly conspiring to rebel? ”

A big hat of rebellion was buttoned down, so bluffed that Governor Zhang didn't even dare to say it, and hurriedly ordered the Wang family to be driven home and banned.

Wang Dashan was shocked, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he went away with his subordinates. As for himself, he obviously came to arrest Lin Xiangyu, but now he can't care about it at all.

Zhu Qiyu won the first battle, won the victory, and made a gesture of spreading his hands towards Lin Xiangyu very chicly, indicating that it was all a piece of cake, and then turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.

Lin Xiangyu followed Zhu Qiyu back to the small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he asked curiously: "How does Gongzi know that Wang Dashan resells grain and grass to the Mongols?" ”

Zhu Qiyu looked innocent and replied nonchalantly: "I don't know, I'm not those bigwigs in the military department." Even if he resells grain and grass, he can't give me hush money, how can I know? ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she asked with a look of surprise: "You are pure nonsense, deceiving them." The way you just said it out there was a convincing and unashamed appearance, but it was all pretended? ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "You said that there will be important ministers of the imperial court coming tomorrow, so as soon as tomorrow passes, won't it be exposed?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was completely proud, and said: "When the fake is true, it is true, and when it is true, it is also true." ”

Lin Xiangyu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked with a serious face: "Who is the son?" ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly, and five words popped out of his mouth: "The widow Qi Wang is also." ”
