Chapter 67: Confrontation
Zilong took the waist card, pretended to look at it, and then handed it back to the Praetorian Guard, and said respectfully to Gu Dayong: "But I offended my father-in-law! I'll take people!" After speaking, he said to the guards behind him: "Go and bring Wu Sanxing up and hand it over to your father-in-law!"
Gu Dayong saw that Zilong was soft, and immediately smiled disdainfully, and no longer paid attention to Zilong, and drank tea by himself.
After a while, the guards pushed Wu Sanxing and walked out, but they had already bandaged Wu Sanxing.
Gu Dayong glanced at Wu Sanxing coldly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he took the lead and walked out, saying, "Take him, let's go!"
The two tall and mighty Praetorian Guards immediately stepped forward, directly pressed Wu Sanxing's arm, and led Wu Sanxing out.
It's just that at this time, Wu Sanxing finally remembered who the fat eunuch was just now, combined with what the person who had just abolished himself said, he was horrified, looked back at Zilong, and kept babbling. It's just that after all, he had his tongue cut out and babbled for a long time, but he didn't say half a word.
Now that Wu Sanxing has been deposed, it is clearly a conspiracy, but Zilong can't stop them from taking Wu Sanxing away.
This eunuch and the Praetorian Guard are real, if he stops them, he is afraid that if he is afraid of the holy decree, he will have to be buried with him, and he can't help Wu Sanxing at the moment, so he shook his head helplessly.
Although this Wu Sanxing looks extremely pitiful now, as long as he thinks about his troubles in Yinchuan, his hands are also covered with blood, and Zilong doesn't want to stand up for such a person, but it's a pity that this opportunity to bring down Liu Jin is a pity.
At that moment, Gu Dayong returned to the Taihe Hall with the crippled Wu Sanxing, and said to the hall: "Your Majesty, the old slave has brought the criminal over, but this handprint is not right!"
Although Zhengde knew that Liu Jin must have a way to erase the evidence of the crime, he didn't know what his methods were, so he asked at the moment: "Why can't it be right?"
"Back to Your Majesty!" Gu Da bowed his body and said, "This person's hands were cut off with his wrists, how can he press that handprint!"
"Huh?" Zhengde was surprised inexplicably, glanced at Liu Jin, who was there with the old god, and said, "Bring him to the palace, I want to see it for myself!"
Although Gu Dayong was surprised that Zhengde wanted to check it in person, as soon as Chrysostom opened, he could only obey orders. At that moment, he ordered two Han generals to take Wu Sanxing to the main hall.
After Wu Sanxing went to the main hall, he happened to see Liu Jin who was standing tall on the stage, and immediately his body was like a sieve, swaying incessantly, lying on the ground, kowtowing to the high platform one by one, babbling and shouting.
Liu Jin looked at Wu Sanxing like this, but he was unmoved, sneered in his heart, and stood expressionlessly, as if Wu Sanxing was kowtowing to Zhengde and begging for mercy.
Zhengde was also curious about the seriously injured thief leader, why after he came in, he kowtowed vigorously but didn't speak, and immediately asked, "Dayong, why didn't he speak?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words! When the old slave saw him, he had his tongue cut out!" Gu Da replied respectfully, but he secretly looked at the sluggish King An.
King An saw that Wu Sanxing, who was originally intact, had become such and such a appearance when he came to the palace, and his cruelty to Liu Jin was deepened at the moment, and he only felt that if this person did not die, he would never have peace, and when he stood in the hall, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't speak.
Zhengde was greatly surprised when he heard Gu Dayong's words, and said, "Then since this person's hands and tongue were cut off, how did this crime come about?"
It's just that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that this thief leader has just been abolished, which can only show that Liu Jin wants to cover it up.
It's just that His Majesty favors Liu Jin, and this thief leader is like this, and he really can't convict Liu Jin.
Moreover, Liu Jin used such cruel methods to abolish this person like this, and he did not mean to warn everyone, as if he was saying that he was admonishing everyone not to go against him or betray him, otherwise the next time he became like this, he would not be a person in the palace.
At the moment, the civil and military forces in the hall were silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound, but they just looked at Liu Jin on the high platform, and the sense of fear was three points more.
King An listened to Zhengde's question, and it took a long time to react, and said: "Your Majesty, when I captured this person, he was still intact before he went to the palace, I don't want it to be like this for a long time, this must be someone who wants to destroy the evidence, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate!"
"Okay!" Zhengde waved his hand and said, "That's it! How can such a waste person be used to correct Liu Gong, Uncle An, you are also an old fool!" After speaking, he stopped talking, stood up directly, and prepared to leave.
I don't want Gu Dayong to ask at this time: "Your Majesty, what should I do with this prisoner!"
Zhengde glanced back at Liu Jin, and then said slowly: "This person caused trouble in Yinchuan, and framed Liu Gong, the crime is extremely heinous, directly pushed out of the noon gate, beheaded the public, and you will be imprisoned!"
"The old slave takes the order!" Gu Dayong listened to Zhengde's words, and immediately called two Han generals to fork this Wu Sanxing out, but this Wu Sanxing heard that he was going to be beheaded at noon, and immediately couldn't help but be shocked and frightened, and kept begging in the direction of Liu Jin, but Liu Jin already felt that Wu Sanxing was a waste man and an abandoned son, so naturally he would not come forward to protect him, and stood there at the moment, without saying a word.
Soon the Han general forked Wu Sanxing out, and Gu Dayong also walked out of the hall. Seeing what had happened, Zhengde said to King An: "Uncle An, let's do this today's matter! You go back and reflect on it, I won't blame you for your poor shepherding, and you don't come to interfere with me and Liu Gong again!"
At that moment, Liu Jin smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty is driving!" and then chased Zhengde away in the congratulatory sound of the civil and military officials.
When King An saw that what he thought he was determined to achieve had ended in such a ridiculous way, he only felt a wry smile and immediately stayed in the palace.
The ministers in the palace were just frightened by Liu Jin holding the crippled Wu Sanxing, and they were all extremely frightened at this time, so they naturally didn't dare to deal with King An, who offended Liu Jin, and retreated directly in front of King An's non-existence.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Dongyang and King An were left in the main hall.
When King An saw that Li Dongyang had not left, he immediately smiled with relief: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the adversity sees the truth!" Usually I come to the capital, but these Beijing officials are all around me, I don't want to offend Liu Jin today, only Li Gong can continue to treat me sincerely!"
"Lord Wang!" Li Dongyang said softly, "This is not the place to speak! You come with me, let's go out and talk while walking!"
In front of this Taihe Palace, it is a square that covers a large area, if you walk in the square to speak, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, it is difficult to eavesdrop on the content.
At that moment, Li Dongyang pulled King An to walk on the square and said: "Lord, you have lived in the border for a long time, and you don't know the fighting tricks above the court!"
"Yes!" King An nodded and said, "I thought that after this matter was brought to the capital, even if he couldn't bring down Liu Jin, he would be able to restrain his arrogance! I don't want him to dare to do such a vicious thing to deter the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty......!"
Speaking of this, King An didn't continue, obviously it was not a good word in the future.
Li Dongyang nodded slightly, and said: "Lord Wang, Liu Jin is now arrogant, that is, in the cabinet, Jiao Fangjiao is a scholar, and he is also his vassal, this government and the opposition, worship under him, I don't know how many! If you want to get rid of Liu Jin, you can only kill with one blow, otherwise you can only be eaten by him!"
"I've been taught!" King An nodded and said, "If I make another attack next time, I will definitely not let him crack it so easily!"
"Hey!" Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, now that you have offended Liu Jin, don't stay in the capital for a long time, otherwise he will find the handle, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!"
"Okay!" King An nodded, and the two of them didn't say much at the moment, left the palace gate, and dispersed.
After King An returned to the post house, he couldn't stop nodding when he heard what Zilong said, and then a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, which dissipated after a long time, and told Zilong to clean up immediately and go directly out of Beijing and return to Ningxia.
When the next group of people changed their disguises, mixed in with the flow of people out of the city, and set off for Ningxia. In order to avoid possible pursuit, the group went out day and night, and it took half a month to rush back to the palace from the capital.
King An rushed to the study non-stop, ordered Zilong to call Sun Jingwen, and the three of them discussed in the study.
Sun Jingwen quietly listened to King An's words, and immediately said: "Lord Wang, for the sake of today's plan, we can only choose another good opportunity! It's just that since we have already torn our faces with Liu Jin, the remnants of the Black Wind bandits in the north of the city say that they can't stay any longer!"
"That's good!" King An thought of the Black Wind bandits, so he felt that Rumang was on his back, and said to Sun Jingwen, "Now that our army is in full swing, it is a good time to eradicate the bandits and give the people a stable life, you go and call Qiu Yue to come, and I will order him to go and suppress it!"
"Lord, don't!" Zilong heard that King An was going to send a large army to exterminate the Black Wind Village, and couldn't help but admonish.
When King An heard this, he raised his head, looked at Zilong, and asked, "Why can't the bandits cause trouble to Ningxia, and the people are not at peace, why do you stop it?"
Although he didn't understand Zilong's dissuasion, out of trust in Zilong, King An was also ready to listen to Zilong patiently.
Zilong said directly: "We can directly persuade us to surrender!"
King An was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Try to say it!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Zilong said slowly: "Now the Black Wind Village is now exhausted, and most of the people on the mountain are old, weak, sick and disabled. The strength of the battle, but more than 2,000 people, our army is pressing, naturally we can capture it, invincible!
But now the 2,000 bandits on the mountain, as well as the bandit leader Jiang Yunsong, are not full of evil. Especially the bandit leader Jiang Yunsong, who was originally said to be a thousand presidents in Yansui Border Town, was only framed for collaborating with the enemy because of his boss's exploitation, and in desperation, he went to Heifeng Village and fell into the grass!
Now that the combat strength on the mountain is less than 3,000, Jiang Yunsong is the kind of person who is particularly disgusted with others colluding with the government, in the case that Wu Sanxing is dead and most of the masters have dispersed, we can completely let him surrender!"
"President Qian, Yansui?" Wang An couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, looked at Zilong and asked, "How do you know this?"
"Last time Jiang Yunsong led people to rob prisoners, I made an appointment with him to fight on the cliff and in the woods! Although he fought in the mountains and forests and was extremely skillful, after all, he was far from my martial arts. After I restrained him, I was about to stab him to death with a sword, but he told me all these things! I admired him for his popularity, so I ordered him to lead people back, and he did as he was told!" Zilong said while recalling the wonderful battle in the mountains and forests not long ago.
"Did you just listen to his one-sided words?" After hearing this, King An said with a look of disbelief and doubt.
"Whether what he said is true or not, we will find out when we ask! I see from his style of acting that this person does not seem to be a hypocrisy! Please let the prince know what is going on!" Zilong heard that King An did not believe it, and persuaded again.
"General Qiu has been in Yansui, and he should be somewhat familiar with the situation in Yansui, why don't we call General Qiu to come and find out as soon as we ask?" Sun Jingwen saw Zilong pleading for Jiang Yunsong like this, and couldn't help but whisper at the moment.
"Hmm!" King An pondered for a moment, looked at Zilong's insistence, and it was not good to be too embarrassed by Zilong's face at the moment, nodded and said.
Sun Jingwen got King An's instructions, and immediately turned around and walked out of the study.
