"Hiss...Your Highness is right! Then this humble official..."
"How about this, you use the earth-carrying cart to pull them back, which is very consistent with the temperament of digging canals."
After Prince Xin finished speaking, he picked up the shovel, laughed and went back alone.
So, not long after, a magical scene appeared outside the South Gate.
A row of carts slowly drove over, with three or four princes stacked on each cart, looking like dead dogs. The scene was quite spectacular.
The people who saw it all started talking about it excitedly.
"Hahaha, look! The princes seem to be exhausted!"
"Yes, I saw them digging a canal today. They looked so funny. It was quite amusing."
"Hahaha, look, the princes are all like dead fish now, yes! Just like the dried sea fish I just received, hahaha!"
"Hey! Lao Liu, why do you have dried sea fish? What is that?"
"Ajiu, we'll be given extra dried sea fish as rations starting today. Haven't you received them yet?"
"Go get it quickly. The dried fish is salty. We don't need to buy salt anymore. But it's too damn hard..."
Yes, the dried fish from Nanpu was just delivered last night, and Zhu Youxiao ordered that it should be distributed starting today.
Soon night fell, and in a remote place, Li Dingguo was also holding a hard dried sea fish in his hand.
In front of him was a man with his hands tied and a hood on, struggling desperately.
Chapter 422 Sir, do you still want this footwear?
Li Dingguo has been keeping an eye on Zhu Cunji for a day.
He found that among the civilians he came into contact with, most of them did not look as good as him, but compared with the thinness of the other victims, they were all energetic and strong.
He also found that in addition to those who had contact with Zhu Cunji, there were many such people in the civilian team.
He was shocked by the sheer number of people.
With so many people lurking here, there must be some big plan. The Prince Jin's Mansion in the city is the temporary residence. He must investigate it as soon as possible and eradicate these security risks as soon as possible.
After finishing work, Li Dingguo followed one of them with two of his men.
While he was letting out some water, they put a sack on him, knocked him unconscious, and carried him away. This series of actions was done smoothly without alarming anyone.
Of course, this person had no contact with Zhu Cunji today.
Li Dingguo deliberately chose someone who was far away from Zhu Cunji to attack.
When he found out the number of people in this group, he seriously suspected that the big guy who let the cat out of the bag today was most likely a prince.
If we hastily capture a person like the prince when we are still unclear about the other party's complete plan, we might alert the enemy.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to start with the peripheral personnel first.
Although he was not sure which prince's son the big guy was, he believed he would find out soon.
At this moment, Li Dingguo was holding a dried mackerel in his hand.
Snapped! ! !
A dried fish hit the captured man on the lower back.
"Tell me! Who are you? Where are you from? Why did you sneak into the group of civilians?"
After saying that, he hit the man twice on the same spot on his lower back, causing him to scream in pain, but the sound was very dull.
Ma Mengqi, the general flag officer under Li Dingguo, immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, your footwear is still stuffed in his mouth..."
Li Dingguo felt embarrassed when he heard this, and forgot about the matter. But the next second he changed his expression and snorted.
"Since you knew, why didn't you take it down earlier? Do you need me to give you orders for such a small matter?"
Ma Mengqi was so upset when he heard this that he quickly took the thing out of the man's mouth.
He appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely resistant and disgusted, mainly because this thing was really stinky...
He held his breath, carefully picked up the thing, and brought it in front of Li Dingguo.
"Sir, do you still want this footwear?"
After all, it was the boss's stuff, he didn't dare to throw it away on his own initiative.
Li Dingguo quickly pushed his hand aside.
Disgusting! It stinks! There's saliva all over it...
Then he glared at him fiercely: "If you want to stay, you can stay by yourself!"
Ma Mengqi turned around as if he had been pardoned and threw him away in disgust.
The man who was caught suddenly felt his mouth unblocked. He took a few deep breaths of fresh air and then said in panic.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? I'm just a poor disaster victim!"
Pah! The old dried fish fell down again.
Li Dingguo shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Answer the question I asked just now!"
The man felt pain in his lower back again, and his screams echoed in the wilderness once again, this time quite loud.
Ji Youshang dared not delay any longer and answered quickly.
"My Lord! My name is Ji Youshang. I am a farmer who escaped from famine in Yongning. I have always been honest and upright. I have never even climbed a widow's wall."
"Master, have you arrested the wrong person?"
Li Dingguo looked at Ma Mengqi and asked, "Do you believe it?"
Ma Mengqi shook his head like a rattle.
Li Dingguo's face turned cold.
"Ji Youshang, right? He's a real man, and he's pretty tough!"
Ji Youshang was blindfolded and couldn't see who was grabbing him, so he was actually very panicked.
But he absolutely could not tell the secrets of the Prince Qin's Mansion... unless he was beaten to death.
"My Lord, I really didn't lie!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Dingguo laughed sinisterly.
"Since you are so stubborn, Ah San, if you don't accept my toast, then I will drink the wine for you. If a blow from behind doesn't hurt, then I will just hit you from the front."
Before he finished his words, there was a sound of wind, and the dried mackerel flew directly towards Ji Youshang's crotch.
After a snap,
"Ouch!!!"
Ji Youshang’s ghost cry resounded through the sky.
Ma Mengqi next to him subconsciously squeezed his legs together and looked at Ji Youshang with reluctance.
"Brother, listen to me and tell the truth, otherwise the egg yolk will fall apart."
Ji Youshang was in so much pain that tears and snot were streaming down his face, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"What are you doing? I know nothing. I am being wronged!"
"Okay, let's see how long you can last."
Li Dingguo simply held the body of the swordfish horizontally and stabbed the fin on its back at the same position as before.
Hiss...
The crotch of the pants was cut open, revealing some black, red, and light yellow...
Ji Youshang struggled wildly and screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
You should know that the spines on the dorsal fin are very sharp, and after being pickled, they become very crispy.
Li Dingguo's move not only broke the egg yolk, but also directly pierced several of the thorns into the banana, breaking it inside.
Only those who have experienced it can understand the stinging feeling, which can be said to be extremely sour and painful.
Ma Mengqi was so frightened by what he saw.
Boss, what a cruel method!
"Ahhh! Bastards! I'm going to kill you! Ah! Kill you!"
Ji Youshang was heartbroken and screamed until he was hoarse, but his hands and feet could not move at all.
His hood was suddenly pulled off. When he saw Li Dingguo in front of him, Ji Youshang didn't expect that the person torturing him was actually a young boy, and he went crazy.
"Ah...boy! Give me a good beating if you can!"
"A quickie? You wish."
Li Dingguo held up the mackerel and shook it in front of him, saying with a smile:
"Look, this is the thing that scratched you just now. But it seems you ate the backstab. I think we can change to a better one and try again."
After saying that, he threw the fish aside and took out a new dried fish. The dorsal fin was intact and the long spikes were perfect in the moonlight.
Without saying a word, he pretended to move towards Ji Youshang's lower lane again.
Ji Youshang's face changed drastically when he saw this. The toughness he had just shown disappeared in an instant and he became a complete coward.
"No! I confess, I confess! I confess everything, isn't that enough!"
The stinging pain from his vitals came in waves, and he could no longer bear any more pain.
"Right, why didn't you say it earlier? Why do you have to suffer like this, people......"
Li Dingguo pretended to sigh deeply and threw the dried fish aside.
After hearing the information Ji Youshang told him, he was even more shocked and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Eight thousand hidden rebels, on the day of action, tie green silk on your forehead, King Qin orders, besiege your majesty, the ministers and the princes!"
This is real treason!
I didn’t expect that there were already eight thousand people lurking here!
If he hadn't discovered it, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Your Majesty is seriously ill now, so it is better not to disturb him.
They are just a bunch of rabble, not worthy of his concern.
First find all these 8,000 people as soon as possible and then do anything else.
Thinking of this, he waved to Ma Mengqi and another subordinate.
"Bury it."
......
The next morning.
Zhu Youxiao had just finished his breakfast when Youtong came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, Elder Wen, Elder Sun, and Minister Guo broke into the palace through the west gate, shouting that they would not stop until they saw the emperor today."
"Alas... these old guys, why don't they just take a good rest? Why do they have to do this? Let them in."
"According to the order."
Youtong took the order and left. After a while, he brought three important officials of the Ming Dynasty to the bedroom.
Chapter 423 Asking around can get you killed
Before that, Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong were arranged to live in the Provincial Administration Office after they separated from Prince Xin.
But after waiting for a long time, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and he still was not summoned, which made the two of them very anxious.
Ever since Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill and ordered the princes to come to Jin, Guo Yunhou had never been able to see him in person.
If there was anything, you could only ask for instructions outside the bedroom, and the reply you got was always just one sentence.
"You don't need to worry about my health. All matters related to disaster relief will be decided by Lord Guo. You must be diligent in your work!"
