It was sunny and daylight, but every house in Hebeiling Village locked the door tightly, for fear that someone would knock. Early in the morning, I saw several groups of bandits entering the village, and listening to the movement, it seemed that several families had been harmed by them, and the neighbors were all angry and afraid, and no one stepped forward to help.

"Follow me!" Xia Chengcan waved his gun, and a team of people behind him drove and followed him

Although he knew that it was dangerous for him to do so, Xia Muyang did not stop him, in his opinion, the future emperor of Dahua should have such righteousness and courage. Brother Gongzi, who is protected by people all day long, can't really develop this kind of righteousness and courage. "Chengcan, you will go to Pinan with me this time. I don't care what you want to do. When you return, you will come to the army to help your father. You are the prince of the Zhen Wangfu, and I can rest assured that the white-clothed army will be handed over to you after all!" In fact, there is still one thing he has not told his son, that is: Emperor Yonghua has made it clear to him that everything here will be slowed down, and he will be in his own place. He will be the emperor of Dahua, and Xia Chengcan will be the crown prince of Dahua.

"Oooo

"Huh~" Xia Chengcan grabbed the reins of the horse, rode back, and sure enough, he found that the door of a house was smashed, and when he got closer, he saw a big pool of blood and a child's body inside through the hole in the door. He only held the gun in his hand and said fiercely: "Rush in, no one is allowed to stay!"

More than 30 people got his order, and quickly climbed the walls from all over the courtyard and entered, and after a while, there was a sound of fighting inside. The evil-faced man finally rushed to the door, but he suddenly felt a chill in his throat, but he was shot through the neck by Xia Chengcan.

"Killing the old and weak, women and children, killing no mercy!"

In the alleyway, a farmer in his thirties hurried with a hoe, his face already pale.

"Ahh Tsai... Father... Mother... I'm sorry for you!" the young farmer sat down on the ground and cried out in a trembling voice, "What a world, what a world, what a wickedness I have made... ..."

Xia Chengcan held the gun in his hand tightly, clenched his teeth, and imprinted this scene deeply in his mind. "Is this the troubled times?"

... ...

"No! No, His Royal Highness, Your Highness... Xia Guan just, just a little... A bit of a surprise. Guo Zimu stood with his hands down, his face already sweating. When the next person came to report that the jaw king fell off the sedan chair outside the gate, he was really stunned. "How is it possible? How could the Jaw King come to me?" Guo Zimu never thought that Xia Muchao did not go to the county government secretary's mansion or the Yanyun government secretary's mansion, but went straight to his resident general's mansion. And the first thing I said when I came in was: "Are you so nervous, have you done something wrong?"

"This king has been appointed to supervise the defense of the northwest this time, and he has the right to cut first and then play!" Xia Muchao said coldly again. After finishing speaking, he threw a scroll at Guo Zimu's body. "General Guo, you give me a good look!"

Guo Zimu naturally knew that the scroll was a holy decree, so he immediately knelt on the ground and stretched out his hands to pick it up. Spread it out carefully, as Xia Muchao said, the sweat flowed more rapidly for a while. At this moment, there was a sound in the courtyard, as if a female dependent was crying, Guo Zimu had an ominous feeling in his heart, and hurriedly looked back.

Xia Muchao sneered and said, "Don't go to see it! This king is worried that you won't be able to do anything, so he will detain your family members first!"

"Lord Wang!" Guo Zimu held back his anger and roared.

"Hmph, just do it well, if you don't do it well, you should know the consequences!" Xia Muchao was unmoved and said coldly.

Guo Zimu suddenly got up from the ground, clenched his fists, glared at Xia Muchao angrily, his mouth twitched, and he stopped talking several times, and then he hugged his fists and said after a long time: "His Royal Highness the Jaw King has been ordered by the Holy Father to supervise the defense of the northwest, and the last general should obey the orders of the prince, and he will not dare to disobey everything!"

"Okay! I'll tell you what I want you to do. Let's wait here for Lord Ho first. Xia Mu smiled and said in a clear voice.

Hearing his words, Guo Zimu already knew that he was afraid that the dependents of He Mansion would also be taken away by the prince Qin. I thought to myself: "The jaw king is known for his 'wisdom', and it is really beyond the reach of extraordinary people, as soon as he came to Jinzhou, he firmly grasped the lifeblood of Anxian's chief official of Yiwen and Wu, who would dare not work hard for him?"

"His Royal Highness the Jaw King!" came from outside the hall He Houtang's anxious voice. Just now, more than 100 soldiers suddenly came to the house, and they didn't say anything, until they arrested more than 30 people from the house, young and old. Although there are fifty or sixty government servants in the county government's office, when they see that more than 100 people on the other side have their swords unsheathed, how dare they really stop them. He Houtang asked loudly in the back, but the group of people didn't answer a word, and a tall thin man in a centurion suit came over and said to him: "His Royal Highness the Jaw King is stationed in the General's Mansion at the moment, and Lord He will know in the past." When he heard this, he hurried here.

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean? Please let go of my family members quickly, otherwise, this official will sue the emperor and seek justice!" He Houtang stood beside Guo Zimu, stared at Xia Muchao, and said viciously.

Guo Zimu handed him the holy decree in his hand and motioned for him to open it and look at it. He Houtang glanced at him suspiciously, took the holy decree, and read it carefully.

"Your Highness, although you have been ordered to supervise the defense of the northwest, I, He Houtang, are not guilty or guilty, why did you make people arrest the relatives of my county governor's office!" At this moment, although Xia Muchao had the holy order in his hands, he was not convinced.

"You two sit down first, and this king has something for you to do. This matter must be done by the two of you with all your might, and there must be no perfunctory, and it is only with the pastoral dynasty that this policy is made. When the matter is done, they will return safely, and you will each have a reward. Xia Muchao sat on the main seat and said with a chuckle.

When the two of them heard him say this, their hearts were a little relieved. At this point, there is nothing they can do, can't they just turn around and forcibly take people?

"Your Highness has something to send the two of us to do, but it's good to give an order, how dare the two of us disobey?" He Houtang asked coldly: "Why do you want to detain my two family members as hostages?"

Xia Muchao put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the two of them, sighed heavily, and said: "When this king arrived in Shanzhou, he was assassinated by more than 200 people and almost died. He said it plainly, and it didn't seem like he was talking about something big. However, when the two people in the seat heard this, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, you looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.

"It's... This... The two subordinates are not well protected, please forgive the prince!" He Houtang and Guo Zimu hurriedly got up from their seats and knelt on the ground together. This matter can be big or small, and it doesn't make sense for Xia Muchao to use this to deal with them.

"Hmph, more than 200 killers died, if it weren't for the fact that this king had been prepared, how could he have the life to go to Jinzhou alive?" Xia Muchao deliberately exaggerated the assassination, and the two of them turned miserable when they heard it, where did they dare to be angry?

What is the identity of Xia Muchao, maybe it is the future emperor, on the way to the post suffered such a large-scale assassination, the two of them, as the civil and military chiefs of the place where Xia Muchao went to work, have their own responsibilities that cannot be shirked. "In this way, it is not that the teacher is unknown. Could it be that the political secretary yamen and the military and military camps should help arrest the murderers? This is a matter within the two of us, and there is no need to detain the families of the two of us?" He Houtang thought as he lowered his head.

The change in the momentum of the two of them, Xia Muchao saw it in his eyes. I saw him smile again and asked, "Who do you two think the murderer will be?"

He Houtang's heart froze, "This, how dare you guess?" Nai replied: "I think it's because the Turkic country is not giving up, and he wants to do harm when His Highness is far away from the capital!"

"Yes, that's the way I think it is! But these gangsters are still in Anxian, and they will be brought to justice in the end!" Guo Zimu felt that what He Houtang said was very likely, and immediately echoed.

If the culprit hadn't been interrogated, Xia Muchao might have really suspected that Duanmulan was looking for someone to do it, and seeing the two of them say this at this time, he didn't want to guess whether they were intentional or not. Qingsheng said: "There is another thing, you don't know about it. ”

"Oh?" He Houtang raised his head, a burst of surprise.

Xia Muchao said lightly: "When the Shatuo army attacked Suzhou City, it actually used our Dahua's crash car and siege tower!"

"What? He's a resident general, so he knows what that means. The crashes and engineering towers of the Jinzhou garrison barracks have been registered in the military department, and the Jinzhou barracks are waiting for the prince to inspect them at any time!"

He Houtang was surprised in his heart, and he was not under Guo Zimu, "There are people who collaborate with the enemy! How can I not know anything about this? This... Naturally, it can be regarded as a great crime! Who will be the collaborator?"

"Lord He, what do you think?" Seeing that He Houtang did not answer, Xia Muchao took the initiative to ask him.

"Someone collaborated with the enemy, and the lower officials didn't know about it at all, and the lower officials were guilty!" He Houtang replied softly.

Someone collaborated with the enemy, and these large siege weapons appeared under the rule of the two of them, but they did not report it, do they not know, or do they not report it? In any case, at least it is a crime of dereliction of duty, which is enough to justify them.

Xia Muchao didn't want the two of them to be suspicious, so he stood up and said coldly: "It has been ascertained that the person who collaborated with the enemy is Zhao Qianming, the general stationed in the north. What I want you two to do is to help this king take down this traitor!"
