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

The next day, news came out that the new parliamentary ambassador had been attacked in the street, causing an uproar in Yingtian Mansion.

More than thirty armored killers were all killed. Nine of the ten cavalrymen guarding Wang Shou were lost, leaving only one alive.

The brutal killing last night can be gleaned from just a few words.

"Who is so bold that he dares to make such a killing move on the first night when the Chief Minister Wang arrives in Nanjing City?"

"Someone secretly controlled this attack and was equipped with extremely lethal crossbows and Mingguang armor that are absolutely prohibited by the imperial court."

"Yesterday, Fu Chuande just had a conflict with Wang Shou in public."

"Then the censor of Zuodu, shouldn't he be so stupid? He just had a estrangement with Wang Shou, so he sent people to kill people in the street? What's more, the censor of Zuodu is so capable that he hired more than thirty killers in armor ?I don’t think it’s like that!”

"I heard that the commander-in-chief of Yingtian Mansion's troops and horses, Commander-in-Chief Qin, showed up last night and wanted to handle the matter personally."

Nanjing City, Changhuafang, Fu Yushi Mansion.

Ever since he was expelled from the bureau office by Wang Shou yesterday, Fu Chuande has become a source of plague in the entire city of Nanjing, and everyone is afraid to avoid him.

When the accident happened today, only Gan Yilian, a long-time friend, came to the door to express his concern.

"Brother Shiquan, the matter is urgent. Even if you didn't do it, you should go to the department office, pay a visit to Wang Shou, and explain the matter clearly!" Gan Yilian became very anxious as soon as he entered the hall.

"Since I was driven away by Wang Shou yesterday, I have been staying at home and drinking with you until three o'clock in the moonlight, when the moon is approaching. You should know that I am unjust!" Fu Chuande only felt that he was really the one who took the blame. What a waste, I received this bolt from the blue early in the morning!

"I know you were wronged, but Wang Shou doesn't know, Qin Erbao doesn't know, and Wang Qi doesn't know!" Gan Yilian stood up, his face still smelled of alcohol, but it could be seen that That kind of anxiety.

Oh my god, Gan Yilian was very flustered when he heard the news this morning, because he drank with Fu Chuande last night. If Wang Qi misunderstood him and suspected that he was also involved in the attack and murder last night, he would have died unjustly. .

"I think you should go to the department office immediately." Gan Yilian raised his hand, frowned, and said in denial: "No, no, you should go directly to Wang Qi and explain the matter to him face to face."

"Wang Qi?" Fu Chuande hesitated after hearing this: "I have been favored by the emperor in my life, how can I bow to Wang Qi!!!"

"You may not have heard," Gan Yilian glanced at his friend, turned around and sat next to him, and whispered: "Just yesterday, Liu Kongzhao and Gou Ying died."

"Dead?" Fu Chuande's eyes suddenly shrank: "A high official, a chief minister of the cabinet, died in one day? Was he killed by Xu Hongji?"

Everyone knows that Xu Hongji is rectifying the noble families in Nanjing on behalf of Wang Qi.

Ever since he got this job, Xu Hongji had no scruples. In just half a month, he had robbed half of the nobles in Nanjing City and obtained nearly ten million taels of silver, not to mention countless acres of land and business wealth.

The deaths of Liu Kongzhao and Gou Ying yesterday made the remaining nobles feel cold from head to toe, unable to think of resisting them.

"Haha," Fu Chuande trembled and picked up the tea cup from the table. After a while, he put it to his lips and took a sip. When he put the tea cup back, he almost dropped it on the ground.

"Going at this time will have no effect other than being regarded as an accomplice or taking the blame," Fu Chuande raised his eyes and looked at his friend: "Can we think about it, who wants to end the king's life and die? And then put the blame on me? "

Da da da,

His fingers tapped slowly on the table.

Gan Yilian closed his eyes slightly, thinking about Fu Chuande's words.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, Gan Yilian's fingers paused in the air.

The next second, the two people's eyes met in the air, and a name blurted out almost at the same time: "Chaopin!!!"

"The dynasty must have hired this old fox!" Fu Chuande slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "When I asked him to come out to assist Emperor Chongzhen, he refused to take up the post because he was old and sick. Now that Chongzhen died, he jumped out immediately. "

"As for the reason, it is very clear," Gan Yilian sneered: "Kill Wang Shou to warn Wang Qi and draw his attention. I heard that King Ji is restless!"

"Let's go, follow me to the Yingtian Mansion Yamen and pay a visit to Chief Wang. I want to prove my innocence!" After saying that, Fu Chuande had already stood up and was about to go out with Gan Yilian.

"But Wang Qi may not reply to what you and I say," Gan Yilian was a little worried.

Who is Wang Qi? He is the most powerful person in the world.

"He will believe it," Fu Chuande put down his sleeves with both hands and paced in the hall: "Now, he just needs a reason to win Zhaopin."

Yingtianfu Yamen, Wang Qi's temporary residence.

When the guards came to report, Wang Qi was replying to his uncle Wang Huazhen about Horqin's desire to donate a thousand cattle in exchange for more ironware and grain.

Yueshan's intention to annex Lin Danhan to the west has never stopped.

At the beginning, Jianzhou was very popular, but this plan was stranded due to Wang Qi's intervention. Now that Jianzhou has been eliminated, and he has been recuperating for nearly a year, Yue Shan's mind has become active again - after all, with Huaxia as his backer, Horqin's strength has been greatly reduced in a short period of time. It's already gone to the next level.

But to be honest, Wang Qi does not want to unify the grasslands.

This is not conducive to the rule of China - it is best to divide it into two parts. This way, it can prevent Horqin's tail from being lost, and can also obtain a steady stream of war horses, cattle and sheep from the grassland.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Qi wrote and wrote back a letter to his uncle - the parliament did not support this matter, and using weapons rashly was not a long-term strategy, so the matter was postponed.

"Sir, it's Fu Chuande and Gan Yilian who came together. They said they had an important case to report, related to yesterday's attack on Wang Shou. Fu Chuande was the former censor of Zuodu in the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Qi continued writing in his hand without raising his head: "Let them find Qin Erbao."

What is Zuodu Yushi?

Is there such a position in Parliament?

"I understand." After hearing Wang Qi's words, the guard bowed and retreated.

Not long after, Wang Qi finished writing the letter and put down the pen.

Wang Qi had received the news last night about Wang Shou being assassinated in the street, and had gone to visit him early this morning. However, Wang Qi did not pay too much attention to the rumors in the city.

Whether it was Fu Chuande or Wang Chaopin, there was no difference in Wang Qi's eyes.

As long as the Nanjing City Council can be implemented in the end, that is good.

As for who was wronged and who was the instigator. Wang Qi has no interest in knowing, nor does he have the time to make such a detailed judgment.

Outside the government office.

"Why doesn't the chief want to see us?" Fu Chuande was a little surprised. It stands to reason that he, the censor of the former dynasty, has an outstanding reputation in Nanjing and is also well-known among the officials. If he can be used for it, he will be able to implement the parliament's plan. It can be said to be of great benefit. But I didn't expect that Wang Qi didn't even want to see him?

"Does he know that I am Fu Chuande?" Fu Chuande still couldn't believe it, and pointed at Gan Yilian beside him: "This Duke Gan is the head of the Gan family of Jiangnan, and the chief lord is not here either?"

"My lord has told you to go find Qin Erbao!" the guard replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Why should we go to see a martial artist? If we, a great scholar with poems and books handed down from generation to generation, go to see a mere martial artist, are we willing to be humble?" Fu Chuande waved his hand, turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

That demeanor, that decisiveness, anyone who sees it will praise him: What a character!

----

General Army Yamen.

"This strong man, Fu Chuande, the censor of Zuodu, wants to see General Qin." Fu Chuande took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the guard at the door, and said with a smile: "I hope to report to you."

At this time, Qin Erbao was sitting in the hall, looking calm and unhurried, showing no intention of investigating the case in a hurry.

"Have all the soldiers and horses been gathered?" After a while, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing soldiers and horses put down the empty tea cup and raised his head to ask.

"Sir, a total of three teams, one team of 500 elites, have been assembled," the attendant replied.

Qin Erbao nodded when he heard this and raised his hand: "In half an hour, according to the plan, we will set out to arrest people!!!"

At this time, the guards came to report.

"Sir, there are two people outside the door, Fu Chuande and Gan Yilian. Do you want to meet them?"

"Fu Chuande?" Qin Erbao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that he has a guilty conscience, so let's pass it on!"

Since Fu Chuande took office in Nanjing City, he has done more official communication than giving advice to officials, and he has been drinking more and having fun than observing the people's sentiments. However, this is the first time he has paid a visit to the General Military Office.

To be honest, Fu Chuande despises martial arts in his heart. Even people like Wang Qi, in Fu Chuande's eyes, if he really wants to criticize Zhu Wen in the late Tang Dynasty, if he is a little higher, he can only stand up to the sky. It was Cao Mengde in the late Han Dynasty.

After all, I am not a scholar.

However, now I have something to ask for, or it is forced by the situation.

Sitting in the hall and looking at Qin Erbao, Fu Chuande felt awkward no matter what he did.

"General Qin, I have been in Nanjing for a long time and haven't visited you yet. Please bear with me," Fu Chuande said in a very low profile anyway.

"It doesn't matter, I still have a stick of incense," Qin Erbao looked at the obedient Fu Chuande with a half-smile but not a smile: "If you have something to do, you can speak as soon as possible."

Fu Chuande first turned his head and looked at Gan Yilian, and then raised his hand to Qin Erbaoyi: "Master Qin, do you know about the attack on the envoy Wang in front of the Imperial Street yesterday?"

"Keep talking, I'm listening," Qin Erbao naturally folded his hands in front of him and looked at Fu Chuande with a smile.

"Hiss," Fu Chuande licked his lips and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you know that although I had some conflicts with Mr. Wang Shou in the Yamen yesterday, no, the conflict was a bit serious. It should be a slight conflict. But I have always asked for orders for the people, without the slightest personal gain! I have always been loyal to the ruling adults. At the same time, when I do things, I always say things to my face and never make any small moves behind my back! This matter. Mr. Gan can make the decision for me. Last night, I had been drinking with Mr. Gan at home until after midnight. How could he arrange for someone to ambush a member of the parliament?"

Fu Chuande talked a lot, and Qin Erbao has been listening carefully.

"What do you mean," Qin Erbao said about a quarter of an hour later, interrupting Fu Chuande: "Did someone else do this?"

"Master Qin is really wise, what he said is absolutely correct!" Fu Chuande clapped his hands and finally made it clear in a roundabout way: "This matter was done by someone else!"

"Then do you know who did it?" Qin Erbao said seriously: "I have always enforced the law strictly here. If you can't tell me, I will have no choice but to arrest the suspect immediately."

"This is natural, this is natural, Fu Mou naturally knows who did it!" Fu Chuande nodded sharply, and then said in a low voice: "This matter must have been done by that Wang Chaopin!"

"Wang, court, hire?" Qin Erbao narrowed his eyes and spoke carefully.

"Yes, Wang Chaopin and Chen Zhenhui are colluding to plot secretly, organize manpower, and discredit the ruling lord." Once Fu Chuande opened his mouth, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube, going straight and explaining everything at once: "A few days ago, They also wanted to recruit me to join the Restoration of Ming Society, but I wanted to cooperate with Mr. Wang Shou’s parliamentary policy, so I refused! Now that I think about it, it’s too late to regret it. If I can penetrate into the enemy’s interior, I should cooperate with both inside and outside. , if we catch them all in one fell swoop, wouldn’t it be a great achievement?”

"Hey, hey, I think about it, it's too late to regret it!" Fu Chuande said the key point, clapped his hands together, full of regret.

"It's okay," Qin Erbao looked very generous: "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Catch Chaopin and Chen Zhenhui, don't let them escape!" Fu Chuande leaned forward, obviously very excited.

"How to catch him?" Qin Erbao was unmoved.

"Ah," Fu Chuande was stopped by Qin Erbao's question. He thought to himself, "You are the chief military officer. You have many people and soldiers in your hands. How do you catch me?"

"It's not good to have an unknown teacher," Qin Erbao sat back on his chair and said in no hurry: "When the parliament works, it must pay special attention to evidence. Without evidence, only unreasonable speculation will not work!"

"There is no evidence!" Fu Chuande became anxious upon hearing this, and stood up from his chair in a hurry: "I have also seen the letters between Wang Zhaopin and Prince Ji!"

"Is this true?" Qin Erbao's eyes finally overflowed with a bright color. After waiting for a long time, the real master finally came.

"Of course, I have known Wang Chaopin for many years, and he still opened that letter in front of me!" Fu Chuande said as he said, "If this matter comes to pass, I wonder if Mr. Qin can help me with the ruling lord. A few kind words? Is it possible for Fu to have a place as a senior member of the Nanjing City Council?"

"If the person who conspired to rebel is really captured," Qin Erbao has never been stingy about sharing the credit. He just wants to do things and immediately promised: "My lord, I will consider it!!"

"Thank you, General Qin!" Fu Chuande stood up and bowed deeply with excitement.

While he was talking, the soldiers outside the door had already come to the door.

"Sir, everything is ready and ready to go at any time!"

After hearing the report, Qin Erbao stood up from his chair and made an inviting gesture to Fu Chuande and Gan Yilian: "Two adults, please." (End of Chapter)
