Chapter 1043 Can't sit still
When he said this, Zheng Pengfei was actually not sure.

He had never seen such a battle before, thanks to the fact that he had spent a few years in the capital with Jiang Yifan and Guan He, and met many officials and generals in the capital.Otherwise, facing so many menacing officers and soldiers just now, with his nature of being a thief, he might have fled long ago.

"You, here," Ye Xinyan was going crazy after hearing Zheng Pengfei's irresponsible deduction, "Then, who did you send the message to, Brother Zheng?" Can you be more specific?

Seeing that Ye Xinyan was really impatient, Zheng Pengfei said in a low voice, "I just found An Guogong's mansion, a courtyard next to Yong'an Canal, General Shi's mansion, Commander Zhang's mansion of the Imperial Guard... and a few other places. , are all inconspicuous houses. Show the token and tell the people in charge there: plan ahead.”

"Ah? So many places?" Ye Xinyan was speechless.This Zheng Pengfei is quite powerful. In the half an hour since the sudden change occurred on the street, he ran to many places without being discovered.

In addition, the Anguo government has maintained the rule of the imperial power in the past dynasties, and is not allowed to participate in the battle for the throne.What's the matter?Was this instigated by Jiang Yifan?
While she was puzzled, she also let go of her worry.Zheng Pengfei alone has contacted many places. I think Jiang Yifan and Jin Rong should be well prepared, so it's not a big problem...

…………

Just after the hour of the hour, outside the city gate of the capital, a general from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing galloped to the outside of the city gate with twenty soldiers, but was stopped by the guards of the capital at the gate of the city.

The partial general didn't dismount, but sat on the horse's back, showing a badge in his hand: "Daying in the suburbs of Beijing is a routine business."

The guards in the capital were stunned for a moment, Shangfeng only said that there would be strict interrogation and no one would be allowed to come in and out at will.But people who work in the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, how can this be stopped?People are holding badges.

A sergeant came out out of the crowd, cupped his hands and said: "General, many mansions in the capital were robbed last night, and people in the city are investigating and arresting Jiang Yang's robbers. Can you come back to handle the general's business tomorrow."

The general snorted coldly: "How can the military affairs be delayed! You want to catch your bandits yourself, and I will go to the Ministry of War to handle errands, which have nothing to do with arresting bandits."

The Sergeant saluted again, "General, there is a very important item lost in the city, and we are looking for it urgently. Once such things are touched, it will be hard to tell. The humble officer thinks that it is better for the general to avoid suspicion."

The general glanced around, and then inspected the people who were stranded outside the city gate, waiting to enter the city for a week, said no more, and gave a cold snort, beckoned his men to turn their horses and leave.

Sergeant Cao watched the twenty or so people go away, turned around quickly, and hurried to the guard of the imperial city.

…………

In a big house next to Yong'an Canal, behind the rockery facing the pond, with the sound of water, a man wearing tights and wide flippers emerged, holding a collapsed bucket in his hand. , Floating water bladder.

The two people who had been waiting there hurriedly pulled him up, helped him remove his flippers, and put on the boots that were kept aside.The three of them tidied up a bit and walked into an unremarkable courtyard in the house.

As soon as the door of the main room was pushed open, a person greeted him: "Has the news been delivered?"

The person who spoke was obviously Hu Jing, Jin Rong's chief aide.

…………

At this time, there were several times more guards than usual in the Duke's Mansion of Anguo. More than 500 people who appeared out of nowhere all changed into soft armor, holding convenient weapons in their hands, and quietly hid under the courtyard wall. In the narrow passage near the courtyard wall.

Lian Gui walked out from the narrow passage, handed a note folded into Fang Sheng to Sun Yang's hand, and asked in a low voice, "How's the preparation going?"

Sun Yang gave a "huh" and replied in a low voice: "It's all good, just wait for the sound of arrows to be fired in the city, and then we can do it. Lian Guanshi and Qiao Bo just take care of the family and protect the young master from being affected."

On this day, water ghosts passed by from time to time along the hidden places of waterways spreading along Yong'an Canal and Tongji Canal.The canal water flows into the underground river in the capital city. A long rope runs through the inside and outside of the city. Several airbags are hung on it every few steps.From time to time, these air bags will be taken off by the water ghosts who are paddling past and used for breathing.

…………

Time was passing by, and it seemed that it was the end of the day. Although the noise in the Palace of Qinzheng was temporarily suppressed, so many ministers and generals gathered together, the longer the time, the more variables there would be.

Afterwards, the news reported by the guards of the capital completely made the prince unable to sit still.The general of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing who left angrily, after returning to the camp and reporting the martial law in the capital, he didn't know what the guards of the camp would think.

Capturing thieves can control the gates of the city. It takes half a day to pass, but it will not work after a long time. At that time, the capital will be besieged by Qin Wang's army instead, and that will be bad.

"Go and see that old dog Zhang Cunhai alone!" The prince stood up and walked outside.

The queen had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when she saw the prince getting up and leaving, she also stood up, "The Ai family will also take a look."

Hearing the words, the prince paused for a moment, neither in the mood to hinder nor to bother to say more.Just take a look, let's go together and let Zhang Cunhai see the current situation.

He has already controlled the harem, no matter the emperor or the people around the emperor, they are all under his control.Maybe Zhang Cunhai saw that his mother was involved in this matter, and felt that the situation was over, so maybe he would speak up.

In the underground torture chamber of the imperial palace, Zhang Cunhai was tied to a wooden stake with disheveled hair and a weak figure. His body was covered in blood. The clothes on his body could no longer cover his body under the torture.

The queen only took one look at the door, then turned her eyes away sideways, and the maids around her also hurriedly looked away.

The prince glanced at the barbed whip in the torture chamber, the iron burning in the charcoal fire and other instruments of torture, and then at the bamboo sticks nailed to Zhang Cunhai's shoulders and ribs, he couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

He took out a handkerchief and put it on his hand. Regardless of the stains on the ground, he took two steps forward, grabbed Zhang Cunhai's bun, and pulled his head up: "Mr. Zhang, did you ever think that today would happen?" Thinking of him He was reprimanded by his father before, but this dog was enjoyable to watch once, but now, the retribution is not good, right?

Zhang Cunhai was forced to raise his head, revealing two staggered welts on his cheeks. One of the welts seemed to be scratched by the barb on the whip, and a piece of flesh was turned up.

Zhang Cunhai was forced to look at the prince, but he didn't seem to have heard the prince's question. He just glanced at it and then lowered his eyelids again.

Zhang Cunhai's ignorance made the prince's eyes even more stern: This old dog is so reckless at this time!He thought that the emperor Lao Tzu would decide for him?

But thinking of the military talisman and the private seals of past emperors, the prince suppressed his emotions and said patiently: "You have also seen that the current imperial palace is all under the control of Gu. You have explained the location of the military talisman and private seal, Gu I will let you go, let you enjoy your old age in peace, and respect your father as the Supreme Emperor, and let him enjoy the honor. How do you think?"
