Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 266 Jiangsu and Zhejiang are panicked
  "Wang Qi is not dead?"

Zhu Youjian, the letter king of Huzhou Prefecture, suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes as wide as bells, still in disbelief: "Who is that person who died outside Nanjing?"

The man in brocade clothes standing not far from Zhu Youjian lowered his head and said in a dull tone: "Your Highness, this can only be said to be a coincidence. Ma Shiying is sitting in Wang Qi's sedan. No one can think of such a thing."

"Then what should we do? You can't accept the money and do nothing, can you? Aren't you Japanese people the most prestigious?" Zhu Youjian's face turned pale, and he walked around the room, with sweat on his forehead: "The most important thing is What’s important is that Wang Qi won’t find out that it’s me who did this, right? You must be responsible for this matter to the end, and I can’t let others expose me! My reputation is the most important!”

Looking at the panicked Zhu Youjian, the man in black showed contempt in his eyes: His Majesty, King Xin of the Ming Dynasty, is so panicked when things happen and has no calm mind. How can this be a big deal?
  However, take people's money and eliminate disasters with them.

Duanmu Yuan realized that he still needed to handle the matter clearly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness," Duanmu Yuan spoke with an extremely pure Fuzhou accent: "For the sake of Mr. Li Dan, we will wrap up this matter completely."

"Li Dan?" Zhu Youjian moved his lips, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

After all, Zhu Youjian also knew that Li Dan had a bad reputation in the Ming court.

In fact, there are not many official Chinese historical records about Li Dan. Many of his related deeds can only refer to the history or folklore recorded by European colonists at that time. Like most of the coastal residents of Fujian at that time, Li Dan also chose to go out to do business. However, the business did not go well. He worked as a slave in Luzon for a period of time before escaping to Hirado, Kyushu, Japan. Later, he relied on his business in Luzon and his work in Fujian. With his connections, Li Dan's business expanded rapidly, and he became the maritime merchant with the most red seal certificates among non-Japanese merchants at that time. However, Li Dan's success was not due to simple connections. In fact, Li Dan was not only a maritime businessman. Like many Chinese businessmen traveling on the sea at that time, Li Dan was also a pirate as a businessman, which is what China calls Japanese pirates.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's face stiffened when he heard Li Dan's name.

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me from beginning to end," Zhu Youjian shook his head and silently repeated: "You must be responsible for what you do."

"His Royal Highness King Xin of the Ming Dynasty, we are here."

Duan Muyuan was about to continue talking when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your Highness! Something happened." This voice was filled with panic.

"Come in," Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, his face turned pale.

Could it be that Wang Qi discovered that he sent someone to assassinate him?

There was a creak, and the cronies outside the door walked in.

At this time, only Zhu Youjian was left in the house, and Duan Muyuan, who was still standing in the house just now, had disappeared.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youjian raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his face, struggling to calm down.

"Your Highness, we just received news from Xuzhou Mansion. Yesterday at noon," the confidant said stumblingly, obviously frightened by the news he received: "Wang Qi led more than ten guards and beheaded him on the official road outside Xuzhou Mansion. Xu Liangyan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, caused nearly a hundred casualties at the same time. From Xuzhou Prefecture to Nanjing City, there was an uproar. Yang Lian had returned to Nanjing overnight and discussed with Zuo Guangdou and others how to dispatch the guards, troops and Nanjing Jinyi Guards to capture the king. Qi."

"You mean, Wang Qi rebelled?" Zhu Youjian didn't react for a while, so he asked subconsciously.

But the next moment, without waiting for his trusted aide to answer, Zhu Youjian stood up, banged the table with a loud bang, and said decisively: "Wang Qi is rebelling! The troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, etc. are being mobilized quickly. , destroy this official!!"

Not long after, after the cronies left, Duan Muyuan appeared again, with some thoughts in his eyes.

"You rush to Nanjing City immediately, kill Wang Qi and Yingtian Mansion, and do not allow him to leave Jiangsu alive!"

At this moment, Zhu Youjian's eyes were filled with murderous intent. How dare Wang Qi kill police officers and court officials on official roads?
  what is this?
  The intention of rebellion and tampering is clearly revealed!
  There is no respect for the imperial court or the emperor at all!

"I will go to Nanjing City, but," Duanmu Yuan frowned: "Wang Qi knows that there are enemies in Nanjing City, will he still go there?"

"He has reached this point of arrogance, what else can he dare not to do? I have already sent a letter to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures. The various military equipment and guards will take action soon. By then, even if Wang Qi is really a martial artist, he will not be able to do it. We must completely fall into the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!”

Clenching his fist tightly, Zhu Youjian was obviously filled with hatred.

Without Wang Qi, the relationship between him and the emperor's brother would never have been so bad!
  It was Wang Qi who caused him to live in this place in Huzhou like a bereaved dog, worried and trying to live in peace!
  Unless Wang Qi dies, Zhu Youjian will never give in!

Boom.
  In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, winter rains are frequent. The weather has been gloomy these past few days, and it finally started to rain today.

Rain poured down from the sky, and the rain and humidity made the cold winter even more biting.

Yang Lian has returned to Nanjing. The former Zuodu Censor and now the Minister of Nanjing City, his hair turned white overnight and his body became rickety.

After a trip to Xuzhou Mansion, my whole spirit seemed to have collapsed, and I was directly interrupted by someone.

Zuo Guangdou looked at his long-time friend, feeling depressed.

Wang Qi's humiliation in public was no less than being cut into pieces with a thousand knives.

For scholars like Yang Lian who consider themselves great scholars, killing one's heart is the cruelest thing.

Outside Xuzhou Mansion, Xu Liangyan died and his body was separated.

And he, Yang Lian, is alive.

why?
  Many people are secretly wondering: Is Yang Lian afraid of death, or is Wang Qi holding back?
  No matter which conclusion, Yang Lian could not bear it.

"Wen Ru, don't worry, Nanjing City has been well-arranged, and all the troops inside and outside have been fully guarded. As long as Wang Qi dares to come, he will die here! No matter what the subsequent reaction of the court is, I will bear the responsibility alone. Come on!" Zuo Guangdou didn't want to see his old friend so haggard and defeated.

"I'm afraid he won't come!" Yang Lian's eyes were deeply sunken, and his original scholarly temperament disappeared, looking a little gloomy.

"Shi Xianzhi has been sending people to track Wang Qi's route, and he will arrive in Nanjing tomorrow." Seeing that his old friend was silent, Zuo Guangdou continued, "And the emperor asked him to go to Nanjing this time. I don’t even dare to openly disobey the Holy Order!”

Don't you dare disobey the Holy Order?

Listening to Zuo Guangdou's words, Yang Lian's eyes moved slightly: Even the imperial officials were treated like pigs in officialdom, what else could he not dare to do?

Just as I was talking, da da da! !

The sound of footsteps was heard, and not long after, Shi Kefa's figure appeared outside the door.

"Sir, Wang Qi and his party have disappeared!"
