Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 107 The Ministry of Rites was shocked, the army of King Qilin came, and Gu Jinnian ordered to kill the enemy!Shocking chaos!

Gangneung County.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

Zhou He sat quietly in the mansion.

Officials, large and small, also gathered here.

Their faces were all gloomy and angry.

There is no other reason.

As members of one party, they are actually confined here now, which is really a great shame.

The most important thing is that the army took over, so that they couldn't even pass on the letter, and the court might not know about it.

"My lord, what is going on here?"

"Gu Jinnian acts so arbitrarily and recklessly, can we just sit and wait for death?"

"That's right, the army sealed off the city. This kind of thing has never been heard before. This Gu Jinnian is really too courageous."

"After this matter is over, the old man will definitely go to Beijing to read Gu Jinnian's book. Do you really think that the grandson of Duke Zhen can be lawless?"

There was a sound of anger.

There was hatred in everyone's eyes, and it was also a kind of unwilling anger.

"okay."

At this moment, Zhou He spoke, he sat in the study, looked at these officials and said.

"Whether the imperial court knows about this matter, the old man doesn't know."

"It's just that one person must know about dispatching a hundred thousand troops."

"It alarmed him, let alone Gu Jinnian, even if his father came, he should be courteous."

Zhou He looked very confident.

Jiangling County was blocked, and Zhou He was furious, but he had no choice. Since ancient times, military power has been greater than everything else.

Even if he wanted to make trouble and scold him, it didn't work.

Force is the fundamental power to turn the tables.

Don't look at how big a sheriff is.

If it was really a comparison, maybe a single general could crush him to death, commanding two thousand elites, and directly entering the city to kill, the county guard would also have to lay his dead body on the side of the street.

The emperor is so powerful, but if someone really wants to rebel, under the general trend, wouldn't they just die or run away?
It's just that Zhou He didn't worry too much, and seemed to have a hole card.

"Anyone?"

"Lord Sheriff, you are not talking about the prince, are you?"

The officials were all curious, and someone spoke up directly, but they didn't say who it was.

"It's King Qi Lin."

Zhou He seemed very natural, without the slightest scruples, telling the real big shot.

"Will King Qi Lin come?"

"Yeah, why have you forgotten King Qi Lin?"

"King Qilin guards the west side, which is only [-] miles away from here. The movement of the barracks will definitely reach the ears of King Qilin."

"He knows, and he will definitely send troops to help us."

"exactly."

The officials of Jiangling County nodded one after another, approving the words very much.

"Shan Kui's barracks has 30 elite soldiers, and King Qilin also has 30 elite soldiers on hand, and King Qilin's army has [-] cavalry."

"The fierce generals under his command are like clouds."

"If you really come here, what does Gu Jinnian care about?"

"Yes, if King Qi Lin is willing to come over, this matter can be stabilized and punished one by one at that time."

Hearing this, all the officials were completely relieved. They were still quite worried, afraid that Gu Jinnian would mess around.

It's just not the same now.

There is King Qi Lin and they don't have any worries.

Also at this time.

An elite strode towards the mansion.

Without any nonsense, he directly pushed open the door, his eyes were cold, and he directly inspected everyone.

Before they could ask, his voice sounded slowly.

"According to the military order of the son, all officials above the seventh rank in Jiangling County will be detained in Bailu Mansion."

The leading general opened his mouth, looking vicious.

The sound fell.

In the study, many officials directly frowned.

What they heard was the word "detention", not asking them to go over.

"Very courageous."

"Detain us? What did we do wrong?"

"Your Majesty is truly lawless. We are officials ordered by the imperial court and loyal officials of the Great Xia. Why are you detained?"

"This Gu Jinnian is acting out of control. Do you know who we are? If there is something wrong with us, Jiangling County will be in chaos."

All of a sudden, they were furious.

Gu Jinnian was too arrogant.

The matter of Bailu Mansion, even if Jiangling Mansion is involved, and they are going to be caught and detained in Bailu Mansion?

Is there any respect in that?
The emperor would not do such a thing, would he?

Arrogant.

Arrogant.

Too arrogant.

"Let's be less verbose."

"Arrests."

The general opened his mouth, but he didn't bother to pay attention to these people. He didn't dare to disobey Gu Jinnian's military orders.

All of a sudden, the elite soldiers entered the room, directly detained them without saying a word, and the methods were very rough, the louder they shouted, the harder they pressed.

Honestly a little better.

It's not that these soldiers have any grudges against them, it's mainly because the two different systems are not afraid of offending each other, and they don't worry about you wearing small shoes at all.

Offended is offended.

This is actually the benefit of system differentiation. Military camps and court officials are completely two concepts. People's military camps are their own world, and it is almost the same as being isolated from the world.

As long as you don't offend your superiors, no one else can trouble you.

So, if you do the errands above, you'll be fine.

Unlike officials like Xuandeng Division or Town Government Division, after all, they still have to mix in the system. If they really arrest officials, in case they return to their original posts in the future, they can also make trouble for you.

"With such behavior, are you really not afraid that King Qi Lin will lead his troops?"

Zhou He was also detained. Instead of being angry, he looked at the latter with a gloomy expression.

Hearing this, the latter's expression also changed a little.

King Qi Lin.

These three words are different. This is a king with a different surname, with a very high status. He sits in the western border of Daxia and commands an army of 30.

Not only that, there is an army of 30 on the surface, but who knows how many soldiers and horses are raised in private?
Another point is that this King Qilin has a very good relationship with another prince, and the two occupy the two places in the northwest. If the two of them rebel, the court will really have a headache.

In the past 12 years, the court has been in endless disputes because of the two of them.

It's just that in the past 12 years, the two princes have done their duty and have not done anything out of the ordinary.

But their vicious reputation, no one knows, and no one does not know.

If King Qi Lin came, this matter would not be so easy to handle, and the latter's tone eased a lot for a while.

Looking at Zhou Hedao.

"grown ups."

"Don't make things difficult for the last general, everything is done according to military orders. If King Qi Lin also intervenes, it has nothing to do with the last general."

"But there are some things you can tell adults."

"His Royal Highness has found a lot of things in the Bailu Mansion. Nearly [-] children mysteriously disappeared, and the local government did not report them."

"And there is also a woman who complained to His Royal Highness a few days ago. Two days later, she saw her daughter's remnant body."

"Your Highness has gone mad, and I can't stop it. I hope you will calm down a little after seeing His Royal Highness. The criminal master of the Bailu Mansion, Bo, has been beheaded by His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness, Xu Ping, is also half dead."

"My lord, don't stand under the dangerous wall."

The latter spoke, this was the only thing he could do, the military order was like a mountain, he could not let Zhou He go, but he could also tell Zhou He some things in advance.

Hearing this, Zhou He's expression changed.

Then without saying a word, he followed the crowd.

soon.

In Jiangling County, iron cavalry shuttled through the streets, beating gongs and drums to deliver Gu Jinnian's military orders.

"Fathers and elders, Gu Jinnian, grandson of Duke Zhen, is seeking justice in the Bailu Mansion. There have been [-] cases of missing children in Bailu Mansion. If the same happens in Jiangling Mansion, come and report the case immediately."

"His Royal Highness punishes severely, and returns justice to the common people."

Iron cavalry shuttled to inform the people of Jiangling Mansion about the Bailu Mansion.

At this moment, the Jiangling Mansion was astonished, and the news could be said to spread from one to another.

Fifteen hundred missing children?

This is no small matter.

But soon, many people did come to report the crime.

Compared with the number of Bailu Mansion, Jiangling Mansion is less, but there are more than two hundred cases.

The soldiers in charge of accepting the case were even more frightened.

Jiangling Mansion is not an ordinary prefectural city, it is the capital of a county after all, it is reasonable to say that it is perfect in all aspects, if you say that the child dies, there is no way.

However, the cases of disappearances occurred in a capital city, with more than 200 cases, which is a bit outrageous.

Let alone the other princes.

"Something is going to happen."

This group of soldiers look at me and I look at you, what do they generally feel.

Soon, a large number of officials were detained and went to Bailu Mansion, and even many scholars from Jiangling Mansion were invited to Bailu Mansion.

It will take a day to escort people to Bailu Mansion.

And it has been nearly a day and a half since Gu Jinnian transferred his troops to the present.

Even Gu Jinnian immediately blocked the information.

It is impossible for Kyoto to have no news at all.

Great Xia Rites.

Yang Kai is processing official documents.

Now that the Great Xia is at war with the Xiongnu, this matter has become a firm matter. The Ministry of Households is responsible for transporting grain, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for making utensils, and the Ministry of War is also busy with deploying troops and formulating plans.

It can be said that every department is very busy, and the Ministry of Rites is the busiest.

Emperor Yongsheng said that he wanted to declare war, so the Ministry of Rites must write a good war document, and must also negotiate with the Huns.

This does not mean that wars can be fought whenever one wants to. There must be official documents handed over between the two countries.

It looks ridiculous, but in fact it is inevitable. To prevent everyone from messing around, it is true that soldiers will not tire of deceit, but this world is not only the Great Xia Dynasty and the Xiongnu Kingdom.

If there are only these two countries, it’s okay, they attack you every day, but the problem is that there are so many countries watching.

You have to be more formal, otherwise, you sneak attack?People also sneak up on you, and the unlucky ones are the common people.

Moreover, during this time, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty also sent people to negotiate, hoping to reconcile through negotiations.

The Ministry of Rites also has to deal with this problem.

But at this moment, a voice sounded outside.

"Master Yang, there is a secret report."

with the sound.

Yang Kai, who was processing official documents, couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand, and then slowly said.

"Enter."

Soon, a figure walked in, it was Yuanwailang.

Now the entire Ministry of Rites is much quieter than before, because of the matter of the Xiongnu Kingdom's reconciliation, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was dragged to the Department of Hanging Lanterns for investigation.

The low-level officials were okay, and escaped unharmed, and the officials above the boss basically ended up miserable.

Not to mention after being beaten, some of them are still lying at home.

Where is the Xuandeng Division? Is the official not afraid?
If it weren't for the fact that there was an imminent war, and there was an urgent need for people, otherwise, at least half of the people in the Ministry of Rites would still be in the Department of Hanging Lights.

But the left and right servants of the Ministry of Rites have not come out yet.

I also went to the Lantern Division, but maybe for some reason, I was not punished and only left a file. If I was involved, I would still go to the Lantern Division.

When people came in, they looked heavy.

"My lord, something happened in Jiangling County."

He opened his mouth, closed the door, and made a sound directly.

"An accident happened in Jiangling County?"

"What happened?"

Yang Kai was a little curious and looked at the other party.

"It is said that someone dispatched [-] troops to blockade Jiangling County."

The other party opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to be completely sure.

"Deploy [-] troops?"

"Block Jiangling County?"

"Where did you hear the news?"

Hearing this, Yang Kai frowned directly, subconsciously not believing it.

No, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I think it's ridiculous.

The Shankui military camp is the only way to guard the northwest trade, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty. Unless it is an order from His Majesty, it is impossible to mobilize the Shankui military camp.

If you need to dispatch the Shankui military camp, you still need the official documents of the Ministry of War, it is difficult to be silent, after all, you are the six ministers.

This kind of thing can't be hidden from him, and there is no news about the deployment of [-] troops?

"My lord, the news came from the people of Jiangling Mansion, and it seems to be related to the elder son of the Gu family."

The latter is not completely sure, because there is no official document, or any important person.

And it sounds outrageous, too.

Send [-] troops.

"Young son of the Gu family?"

For some reason, Yang Kai became serious when he heard Gu Jinnian's name.

If it were any other person, Yang Kai would not take it seriously at all, but it would be a little different if it involved the son.

After some thought.

Then Yang Kai made a sound.

"Send someone to the Ministry of War to inquire about the situation."

"Go to the old man's granddaughter again and ask her where the son is."

Yang Kai still didn't believe it, but in order to prove it, he asked someone to go to the Ministry of War and find his granddaughter.

"Yes."

The latter is not long-winded, and it will be done immediately.

About half an hour later.

The news came.

The Ministry of War did not authorize the Shankui barracks to transfer troops, nor did it receive any notice. The Tiger Talisman was in the hands of the Ministry of War.

When the news came, Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ministry of War did not authorize such a thing, and the generals of the Shankui barracks would not dare to authorize such a thing if they had ten guts.

But soon, new news came, making Yang Kai frown.

Gu Jinnian did go to Jiangling County.

When the news came, for a moment, the heart that had just been let down was lifted up again in an instant.

Gu Jinnian often does things that ordinary people dare not do.

"It shouldn't be possible."

"Without the authorization of the Ministry of War, even if Gu Jinnian said so again, Wu Wangzhi would not dare to transfer troops without permission. This is a capital offense."

"Even if His Majesty authorizes it separately, it must go through the Ministry of War."

"No, I still have to go to the Ministry of War in person."

Yang Kai was a little worried, he got up and went directly to the Ministry of War.

Gu Jinnian was involved in this matter, so he felt that something was going to happen.

After arriving at the Ministry of War.

Yang Kai went directly to the Minister of War, and he also directly asked about Shankui's barracks.

Zhao Yiyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, seemed a little helpless.

"Yang Shangshu, dispatching [-] troops, how could such a thing be possible without the authorization of the Ministry of War?"

"Besides, if there is such a thing, it is impossible to hide it from you, and it can't be hidden from you."

"This kind of thing really happened, within three days, the news is flying all over the sky."

Zhao Yiyang was also a little helpless.

Because Yang Kai was suspicious of him, thinking that His Majesty and the Ministry of War had privately authorized the military talisman to Gu Jinnian.

But the problem is that this kind of thing can be hidden from anyone, and it is impossible for the six ministers to hide it.

For such a big matter, if you don't discuss it and just do it if you want, you will definitely have big problems.

I got Zhao Yiyang's firm answer.

Yang Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Shangshu, I'm just curious, after all, it's not a trivial matter to deploy [-] troops."

"His Royal Highness, after all, is the grandson of Lord Zhen, and he may be named a Marquis next year. If this happens, it will be troublesome."

"I don't want to see this scene either."

Yang Kai apologized slightly.

"It's okay, I also understand Master Yang's painstaking efforts."

Zhao Yiyang nodded, he understood Yang Kai's painstaking efforts.

Gu Jinnian is the most popular now, but the biggest thing for the Great Xia Dynasty now is to start a war with the Huns.

If this kind of thing really happens at this juncture, it will be troublesome.

It is a capital offense to deploy troops without permission.

The Ministry of Rites must also impeach, and the Imperial Envoy must also impeach, and even the Ministry of War cannot favor Gu Jinnian.

This is the law of the country.

No one can trample on it, and it will never set a precedent. The state owns the state's laws, and the family has its own rules. You can't break the rules just because of your status as Gu Jinnian.

After getting the answer, Yang Kai didn't hesitate.

Turned around and left.

But after Yang Kai left, Zhao Yiyang made a sound immediately.

"Come on."

"Go to the Shankui barracks and ask if anything happened recently?"

"Hurry up as soon as possible, don't delay."

Originally Zhao Yiyang didn't care about it, but seeing that Yang Kai came to ask in person, he actually had no idea in his heart, so he sent someone to ask about the situation.

in this way.

It has been three or four hours.

There are some gossip in Kyoto.

Someone came back from Jiangling Mansion and said that a large army surrounded Jiangling County, but it is not clear what happened.

There were not many such rumors at first, but as more and more people came, the speed of spreading became faster and faster.

Until the next day, ugly time.

In the Zhao residence.

A war horse galloped quickly and stopped in the middle of the Zhao residence.

Immediately after holding a letter in his hand, he said urgently.

"Three thousand miles to expedite military aircraft intelligence."

He roared and rushed directly towards the mansion.

Zhao Yiyang was startled awake.

He quickly got up, came to the lobby, and took over the urgent military document.

It was only when he unfolded the military text.

In an instant, Zhao Yiyang's face became extremely ugly.

The content of the letter is very simple. Gu Jinnian used the imperial decree to mobilize [-] troops to implicate Emperor Jiande, and then threatened the lives of all officials in Jiangling County to demand another [-] troops.

A total of 20 troops were sent.

hiss.

The sound of sucking in cold air sounded.

In the lobby, Zhao Yiyang looked extremely ugly.

20 soldiers and horses.

Gu Jinnian is really courageous.

Actually dispatched 20 soldiers and horses?Do you really want to live?
It is a capital offense to deploy troops without permission.

To dispatch 20 troops, is it not too much to copy and kill the whole family?
"Give this letter to Lord Zhen Guo, quickly."

When Zhao Yiyang opened his mouth, he almost roared out.

But the next moment, he stopped immediately.

"No, the old man has to go to the Duke's Mansion in person."

He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is from the line of Lord Zhen, or it can be said that he is not from the line of Lord Zhen. It can only be said that everyone is a group of generals. Without the support of Lord Zhen, he has little say in the Ministry of War.

It is possible to become the Minister of the Ministry of War, and it is absolutely impossible to be a lineage of the Duke of the State, and it is almost a school of its own.

It was just too soon, Zhao Yiyang shook his head, he didn't go to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Instead, he took a deep breath and took the letter to the Yang Mansion.

He can't talk about this matter, and he can't tell Duke Zhen. This matter is too big, and telling Duke Zhen won't do anything, and it will involve Duke Zhen.

It would be better to deal with it normally. Duke Zhen didn't know about it, and there was a reason for helping Gu Jinnian when the time came.

Say it yourself, not only will it involve yourself, but it will also be a disservice.

next moment.

In the Yang Mansion.

Yang Kai, who was still processing official documents, heard Zhao Yiyang's late-night visit, and for a moment, Yang Kai was stunned.

He guessed what it was.

In the middle of the night, if there was no major event, how could Zhao Yiyang come to him?

Soon.

Zhao Yiyang came over with a heavy complexion, and placed the letter in front of Yang Kai, then sat aside, took a sip of tea, and remained silent.

Yang Kai took the letter and glanced at it, with horror in his eyes.

It was a deep horror.

"20 troops."

"Wu Wangzhi, is he crazy?"

When Zhao Yiyang came, he guessed that something was going on, but he didn't expect it to be so much more serious than he imagined.

You said that it is acceptable to transfer [-] to [-] yuan.

20 troops?
What is this for?
An army of 20 can rebel. Of course, the probability of defeat is high, but it can still cause internal chaos in the Great Xia Dynasty for half a year or even a year.

"Gu Jinnian blamed Emperor Jiande on the grounds that Wu Wangzhi was guilty of negligence, but the problem is not the biggest."

"The other [-] was threatened in the name of Jiangling county officials, so he had to release it."

"This time something big is going to happen, I'm afraid Duke Zhen won't be able to keep him."

"Master Yang, what should we do next?"

Zhao Yiyang said that he was also very bitter. If such a big incident happened, the Ministry of War would probably be punished, but the punishment is not a big problem, but once this incident comes out, the government and the public may be shocked.

And those who target Lord Zhen will explode completely and crazily impeach Gu Jinnian.

In the current situation, the confrontation between civil and military is already very serious, and if it gets worse, troubles will happen.

Balance is the best result.

Civil servants also need a balance, so it’s okay to suppress it even if it’s counterproductive. What’s more, now that the Great Xia Dynasty is going to enter a state of war, it’s really unwise to trouble generals at this juncture.

It is impossible not to find it.

You mobilize troops privately, this is the capital crime among capital crimes.

If this is not mentioned, will there be any rules in the court in the future?
"Can't be pressed."

"You and I enter the palace now, and report this matter to His Majesty immediately."

"This matter can't be hidden, and we can't hide it. Whatever the specific result, we don't want to interfere. We follow the steps. We can say what we have to say, and we can do what we have to do."

"Self-deploying 20 troops is disrupting the foundation of the country. We must not get involved, otherwise it will easily cause fire."

Yang Kai made a sound.

He knew that the matter was serious and he must not get involved.

"it is good."

Zhao Yiyang didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Then, the two of them walked directly towards the palace together.

It's just that after going to the palace, the information I got was that I refused to meet him.

With this news came.

The two fell silent.

They specifically said that it was military aircraft intelligence, and something big happened in Jiangling County.

It stands to reason that His Majesty will definitely let them enter the palace.

But the answer I got now was that I refused to meet him.

"It looks like something big is going on in Jiangling County."

At this moment, Yang Kai couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When such a thing happened, the emperor refused to meet him, which meant that His Majesty probably knew what happened.

Why did Gu Jinnian even go to Jiangling County?

There is a certain possibility, which is what His Majesty meant.

Something big is about to happen.

"Yang Shangshu, what should we do?"

Zhao Yiyang raised his voice and couldn't help asking.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter. Let's talk about it in the courtroom tomorrow."

"Now, leave it alone and don't get involved."

"Just wait for the news."

Yang Kai spoke, this was the only way he could think of.

"it is good."

Zhao Yiyang pondered for a while, then nodded.

And this moment.

Daxia Palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Yongsheng sat in front of the jade table, looking at the official documents and information in front of him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Among the official documents, the most important piece of information is one.

'Temporary records of more than [-] cases of missing children'.

The candle was flickering, and the murderous aura pervaded the entire hall. Emperor Yongsheng's gaze seemed to be devouring.

in this way.

It was also dawn.

At this moment.

Daxia Bailu Mansion.

Zhou He and others were escorted overnight.

These officials complained endlessly along the way, if they were invited to come, it would be a good thing, after all, there was a carriage.

But the taste of being escorted is different. I went directly to the prison car, and it was extremely uncomfortable all the way.

As for those masters and scholars, it’s okay, sitting in the carriage, although they are a little busy, but at least they are much better than these people.

Everyone didn't know what happened, but they understood that something big happened.

After everyone came to Bailu Mansion.

All of a sudden, these masters and scholars immediately exclaimed.

"Isn't this Mr. Kong Zhen?"

"Yes? Isn't this Mr. Kong Zhen?"

"How was Mr. Kong Zhen tied to the stake?"

sounded.

This group of scholars immediately exclaimed, after all, Kong Zhen is a great Confucian, and he is a great Confucian of the Confucian family, how can this not be surprising.

"It's so humiliating."

"Kong Zhen is a great Confucian after all, why should he be so?"

"No matter what Mr. Kong has done, such behavior is really degrading."

Everyone was angry, they respected the saints and read books, and they were extremely respectful to the Confucius family.

Seeing this scene, many scholars jumped out of the carriage and wanted to rescue Kong Zhen, but the surrounding soldiers directly grabbed them back into the carriage.

"Everyone, this is the military order of His Royal Highness. If you have any questions, you can ask His Royal Highness yourself."

"Don't make it hard for me to wait."

The soldiers spoke with calm faces.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone didn't say much, but they kept talking in the carriage.

About half an hour later.

In the government office.

Gu Jinnian didn't sleep all night.

He has been waiting for news and for someone to come.

After a while, there was a loud noise, and it was the Jiangling County officials who had arrived.

Officials were detained one by one, and people gathered around the entire government office, and many of them were awake, waiting for justice and a result.

Seeing the officials from Jiangling County being detained, the people immediately applauded, although they didn't know what mistakes these officials had made.

But Gu Jinnian's thunderous tactics made them extremely excited.

It was only when these officials entered the room one after another.

A voice sounded immediately.

"Gu Jinnian, what are you going to do?"

"We are all officials ordered by the imperial court. If you detain us without reason, this is a serious crime for you."

"Gu Jinnian, relying on your status as the son of the eldest son, you dispatched troops privately. This is a capital offense. Now you are treating us like criminals and detaining this place."

"what do you want to do?"

Entering the government office, this group of officials didn't have any fear, and the first time they yelled loudly.

Accused Gu Jinnian of violating the rules.

However, the only quiet person is Zhou He, the sheriff of Jiangling County.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Kong Zhen outside the city, what did he do wrong? Why was he tied up at the gate of the city? This is simply insulting, and I hope His Royal Highness can give an explanation."

"Kong Zhen, a great Confucian, has made great contributions to writing books for scholars all over the world. His Royal Highness, Shizi, tied him to the city gate. This is too much."

"Yes, that's right, it's just too much."

"His Royal Highness, no matter what happens, I still hope that Mr. Kong Zhen will be put down, otherwise, I will not accept the scholars."

Immediately afterwards, scholars from Jiangling County also spoke, but their main remarks were still about Kong Zhen.

The sound is cluttered.

Gu Jinnian ignored it, but waited for something.

Sure enough, a moment later, a figure walked in, wearing armor, and said loudly.

"His Royal Highness."

"As of now, there are a total of 640 cases of missing children."

"Jiangling Mansion filed 480 cases within seven hours."

"Pingyuefu, Zhangyuefu, Hanqingfu and other twelve prefectures have registered more than [-] cases."

"At present, there are a total of [-] cases. The longest case is two and a half years, and the shortest is seven days ago."

The general came with a very loud voice.

Mute all the noise straight away.

For a while, the hall was quiet.

Jiangling County officials were all stunned.

These scholars and masters also showed astonishment.

Up to two and a half years.

At least seven days ago?

In about two years, [-] children disappeared in the entire Jiangling County?

Why haven't you heard of it?
Hear this.

in the hall.

Gu Jinnian set his eyes directly on these officials.

Like a knife like a blade.

"Where is the governor of Jiangling County?"

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked directly.

"The old man is here."

Hearing Gu Jinnian's voice, Zhou He took a step forward with fearless eyes.

"Did you listen to the words just now?"

Gu Jinnian's voice was calm.

"Listen."

Zhou He replied lightly.

Bang.

In an instant, Gu Jinnian knocked on the table and looked at Zhou He.

"Just two years."

"The stolen five thousand children are under your jurisdiction. Today, I want to ask you, how do you become a sheriff?"

Gu Jinnian directly reprimanded.

But facing Gu Jinnian's angry reprimand, Zhou He didn't panic at all, but spoke out slowly.

"His Royal Highness."

"This is a matter of Jiangling County. The child was stolen, and the old man is heartbroken, but the government is also preparing manpower to investigate."

"Furthermore, the old man would like to ask His Royal Highness, what does this matter have to do with His Royal Highness?"

"As for the affairs of Jiangling County, when will His Royal Highness take care of them, the old man has never received an order from the court."

"It's a bit bold and reckless for you to deploy troops without permission and violate the rules of the court."

Zhou He didn't give a comprehensive explanation, nor did he panic at all. Instead, his eyes were full of coldness.

He is not afraid of Gu Jinnian.

It seems that there is some great confidence.

Facing Zhou He's questioning.

Gu Jinnian nodded.

As expected of the sheriff.

This confidence is enough.

"Handling the case by order."

Gu Jinnian replied lightly.

"By order?"

"Then please His Royal Highness take out the imperial decree."

"Let the old man take a look."

Zhou He raised his head and looked at Gu Jinnian with incomparable arrogance.

"it is good."

Gu Jinnian got up, came directly in front of Zhou He, raised his hand and slapped his old face.

Snapped.

Zhou He took a few steps back and fell directly to the ground, the left side of his face was instantly red and swollen.

"you!"

Zhou He stared at Gu Jinnian with wide eyes, but he didn't get angry, he just stared at Gu Jinnian.

The dignified sheriff was slapped by someone, and even by a junior, which made people go crazy, but Zhou He actually endured it.

"This is the imperial decree."

"Want to see it?"

With Gu Jinnian's slap, the officials of Jiangling Mansion frowned, but the people outside applauded again and again.

"If His Royal Highness only has this ability, I can only say that His Royal Highness is brave."

"King Qi Lin already knows about dispatching one hundred thousand troops. Soon, King Qi Lin will definitely send troops to suppress the rebellion."

"This slap, the old man endured it, the old man wants to see how His Royal Highness will deal with the next situation."

Zhou He took a deep breath.

Although he endured it, he was still a little angry when he was slapped in public.

He opened his mouth directly, revealing his biggest trump card and confidence.

King Qi Lin is coming.

"No wonder you have such confidence, it turns out you have a backer."

"However, since I called you here, I have the confidence."

"As long as the case is clarified, regardless of whether you have anything to do with you or not, I will let you all be killed for the crime of negligence."

Gu Jinnian said coldly.

Zhou He has such confidence that he is King Qi Lin.

That being the case, Gu Jinnian will wait until King Qi Lin comes forward.

However, he needs evidence.

Need to find out about this.

Based on the disappearance case alone, at most one charge of deception can only be charged. Some people will be unlucky, but these officials will definitely not be involved.

What Gu Jinnian has to do is to reorganize Jiangling County.

He wants to kill.

Kill the world with fear, otherwise, this kind of thing will still happen in the future.

Zhou He stopped talking.

Gu Jinnian also ignored him.

Just now.

The figure of Yaochi Fairy appeared.

She investigated for two days, but Wang Fugui and others did not appear behind her. Obviously, no results were obtained.

"After careful investigation, they did not find the whereabouts of Brother Wang and the others. According to inquiries, Brother Wang and the others suddenly disappeared half a month ago without leaving any clues."

Fairy from Yaochi transmits voice.

In two days, this was the only thing she investigated.

The specific time when Wang Fugui disappeared.

The rest is gone.

"Trouble Fairy."

Gu Jinnian nodded, the only hope right now can only be pinned on Qingyuan Temple.

Then Su Huaiyu's figure appeared.

"His Royal Highness."

"All the people involved in Zhang Ming's case have been brought and are waiting in the side hall."

"This is the file of the relevant personnel, and please check it with His Royal Highness."

Su Huaiyu opened his mouth and said so.

Received the file.

Gu Jinnian read it carefully.

After a general understanding, the file was put aside.

Zhang Ming case.

It's just part of it.

Right now, finding Wang Fugui, Jiang Yezhou and others is the main thing.

An hour later.

The person Gu Jinnian had been waiting for came.

It's Fairy Yunrou.

She walked in and attracted a lot of attention.

It's just that Fairy Yunrou also understood what happened now, so she didn't mess around.

"I went to Qingyuan Temple."

"No problem."

This is Fairy Yunrou's answer.

There is no problem with Qingyuan Temple.

Upon receiving this answer, Gu Jinnian frowned even tighter.

All the clues seemed to be cut off at once.

"Qingyuan Temple can't be without problems."

"Fairy Yunrou, Fairy Yaochi, Brother Su, the three of you lead [-] soldiers and horses, and then go to Qingyuan Temple to investigate carefully."

"There must be something wrong with this Qingyuan Temple."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

He believed in Fairy Yunrou, but he believed in Gu Shu even more.

The ancient tree mentioned Qingyuan Temple.

This means that there must be something hidden in Qingyuan Temple, but Fairy Yunrou didn't notice it.

"it is good."

The three of them left without further ado.

And the government office seemed even quieter.

But half an hour later.

Followed by a figure rushing quickly.

"His Royal Highness."

"A large army appeared a hundred miles away from Bailu Mansion."

"It's King Qilin's man. He said he wanted to suppress the rebellion. Please His Royal Highness make a decision."

It was a general who came.

His tone was rapid.

King Qilin?
Gu Jinnian got up and glanced at the officials in the hall, all the officials showed joy in their eyes.

It was as if a savior had arrived.

"Array."

"Keep the army out and let them send people in."

"Let's see how many people there are."

Without hesitation, Gu Jinnian issued the military order directly.

"Follow the order."

The latter didn't talk nonsense, and immediately conveyed the general's order.

All of a sudden, the situation in Bailu Mansion became more tense.

soon.

A bad news came.

King Qilin's army is quite large.

At least one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

From the inside to the outside, the Bailu Mansion was surrounded, and they were all cavalry.

Yes.

One hundred thousand cavalry.

In terms of combat power, it is much stronger than the Shankui barracks led by Gu Jinnian.

Unless another [-] troops can come in the first time.

"Report."

"His Royal Highness."

"King Qi Lin's leading general sent a reply."

"Request Your Highness, open the city gate and let him enter the city."

The military situation came again.

This is the reply from King Qi Lin's army.

Ask Gu Jinnian to open the city gate.

Very domineering.

Also very direct.

"Is King Qi Lin here?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, King Qi Lin has not appeared, so I don't know the specific situation."

The latter answered.

After getting this answer, Gu Jinnian said very calmly.

"tell them."

"Two thousand cavalry are allowed to enter the city and seize weapons."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

"Yes."

The latter leaves.

Quickly go to notice.

In less than a quarter of an hour, this name will appear again.

"Your Highness."

"They don't want to."

"It is said that His Highness will open the gate of the city with a stick of incense, otherwise he will be convicted of rebellion, and he must"

When he said this, he paused for a while, then lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

"Kill Your Highness."

The latter made a sound and sent the reply from King Qi Lin's army.

For a moment, many officials in the hall couldn't help laughing, feeling extremely excited.

From their point of view, there was finally someone who could suppress Gu Jinnian.

King Qi Lin is not an ordinary person.

It's not something that Gu Jinnian can compare to.

More fierce?

People really dare to fight you, do you dare?
Hear this.

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath.

King Qi Lin is really impatient.

It's just too late to answer.

Another figure appeared.

"Report."

"His Royal Highness, General Wang Peng has led an army of 150, but it is only [-] miles away."

"They noticed that King Qi Lin's army has not moved for the time being, please give orders from His Royal Highness."

sounded.

Gu Jinnian let out a long breath.

Then he said coldly.

"Send me the military order."

"Let Wang Peng check and balance at the rear."

"The rest of the soldiers, line up to kill the enemy."

"Tell them, if you dare to step within ten miles of Bailu Mansion, you will go to war directly."

"Don't stay alive."

"Fight to the end."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

With those words, the faces of everyone in the hall changed drastically.

Go to war?
Is this a civil war?

Hundreds of thousands of troops fighting?

are you crazy?
