Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 886
At the foot of the mountain, a young soldier folded his arms and quietly looked at Xiefeng Mountain. Around him stood more than 100 soldiers holding bows and crossbows.

They were very quiet, almost silent.

"General Xiao Cheng, do you need to do it again?" the soldier asked.

General Xiao Cheng is not Cheng Chumo, but Cheng Wuting, the son of Cheng Mingzhen, the leader of the left army Zhongguo Gong.Like most dandies, he failed to study well, so he could only enter the army and try his best. The good news is that he is the eldest son of Cheng Mingzhen, and he will inherit the title in the future.The bad news is that the second generation of Chang'an playboys are very competitive. If he can inherit the title, so can others.

He raised his hand, shook his head and said: "A good fighter should be invincible first, and wait for the enemy to be victorious. All the openings around Xiefeng Mountain have been blocked, and the prey has no way to retreat. They can be captured alive!"

"As ordered!"

Yu Kui was on the run, and he had no choice but to flee. The imperial court dispatched troops to destroy him, leaving him unable to resist.There are only a few dozen people in Xiefeng Mountain, what will he use to fight against the imperial army?
Accidentally, he stumbled and rolled along the slope until he hit a tree.

"pain"

He hugged his head, curled up, and endured, hoping that the opponent would withdraw his troops after killing his subordinates, so that he could escape with his life.

However, he is doomed to despair.

Until the next day, he was surrounded by Tang troops holding crossbows in a mountain depression.There were not many people on the other side, only a dozen or so people, but the crossbow bolts in their hands were deadly.

"I am Yu Kui, don't let go, I'll explain everything, don't kill me, don't kill me!" Yu Kui squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, not daring to move.He had no doubt that as long as he acted rashly, he would be shot into a hedgehog by the opponent the next moment.

"Very sensible." Cheng Wuting appeared, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows shot in front of Kui, making him tremble with fright.

"From now on, if I ask you questions, you will only be responsible for answering them. If you miss a word, I will cut off one of your fingers."

Cheng Wuting turned around, leaving the soldiers bound to Yu Kui.

He knew he was doomed, and that little soldier with a green voice was a scumbag.

Chen House.

"The two of you came here to trouble my Chen family with some so-called evidence for no reason. Do you think my Chen family is easy to bully?" Chen Zhiqiang calmed down and angrily reprimanded Wang Gui and Yu Yongning.

Wang Gui sighed: "I have to admit that you dare to kill and set fire, you really have a lot of courage in it, otherwise, you won't die and refuse to admit it. You don't plan to wait for Chen Shuda to save you, do you?"

Chen Zhi's complexion changed slightly, but he still said firmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

In fact, he really wanted to use Chen Shuda's name to frighten Wang Gui, but considering that Chen Shuda had already retired, he might not be able to frighten Wang Gui.Now that the other party brought it up, he knew that something was wrong.

Wang Gui went on to say: "I'm not afraid to tell you that in this case, even Chen Shuda or Xiangguo, he didn't dare to talk too much. This time, His Majesty was furious and ordered multiple departments to jointly investigate the case. Chen Zhi, you must not take the wrong path. Cooperate with us now, your Chen family still has a way to survive. Otherwise, it will be ransacking your family and exterminating your family!"

When it came to the end, Chen Zhi almost froze.

This is the power of imperial power, and this is the power of a powerful emperor.Even if they often say in private that 'Jingxiang is the Jingxiang of Jingxiang people', once they are suppressed by the central government, they will be grandchildren.

"Patriarch Chen, why do you need to take responsibility for others." Yu Yongning said in a timely manner: "If you don't cooperate with us this time, the Chen family will not be able to keep it. You can only keep those culprits who did the same thing as you. You won't Count on those people to save you?"

Chen Zhi's face became more and more gloomy and ugly.

Seeing that the other party did not repent, Wang Gui sneered and said, "Forget it, it's fine if he doesn't cooperate. With those evidences, the Chen family can't escape. If we start with those officials, we can still find out who else bribed them."

Chen Zhi still didn't let go.

Just then, a soldier arrived.

"My lord, Captain Cheng has captured Yu Kui and Chen Shi!"

boom!
Chen Zhi's face was pale, and he fell to the ground.

"Wait, I won't say anything."

Wang Gui and Yu Yongning looked at each other, their lips curled up at the same time.

With those few boxes of evidence, they could of course take down the Chen family directly, but is it such a great contribution?

Not really big.

This time, they were ordered by the emperor to make a big move to frighten these desperate southerners.

Doing business is doing business, and they still play with these things, dare to set up roadblocks, rob roads, and bribe officials to hide it.

What do you want to do?
rebel?

indoor.

When Chen Zhi finished writing the last name, he knelt on the ground motionless as if out of strength.

When this list is handed in, there will be more than 20 prefectures, including Jing, An, Fu, Wen, Sui, Huang, Shen, Yue, and Lang, and nearly [-] families, all of which will be exposed to the eyes of the imperial court.In addition, there are officials from more than [-] states.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi felt as cold as if he was in a world of ice and snow.

After reading the list, Wang Gui gasped.

Good fellow, no wonder the saint is so determined to kill them this time, it turns out that he has already woven a net like this.If they are allowed to continue to develop, whether the surname of the south is Li or not will be two opinions.

Yu Yongning put away the list of officials and took Wang Gui outside.

"My idea is to wait for the envoys from the imperial court to come over, take out the list, gather them together in the name of the imperial court investigating the states, and catch them all in one go. According to my guess, they have already received the news, but they don't know that they have already Exposure, so the Chen family cannot move for the time being."

"I understand." Wang Gui nodded, "I also need to discuss with the Weifu army to take all these people down." He tapped the family lists in his hand.

"Weifu army?" Yu Yongning stared, and said, "Isn't it a servant brought by the imperial court?"

"Do you really think that the people in the imperial court are so powerful that you can find out what you want to find out directly. I have no doubt that your Majesty has already found out all of this." He said meaningfully.

Apart from this possibility, he couldn't think of a second possibility.Moreover, he even suspected that there were spies of saints in the guard army who followed him to investigate the case.Otherwise, how could the investigation between him and Yu Zhining be so smooth and fast.

Whether the subordinates are capable or not, you can tell when you use it at this time.If the group of people from the Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry were investigating the case, how could they be so clever.

Absolutely, no, yes, His Majesty's spies have already investigated it.

Wang Gui is very self-aware, this kind of thing will be done as soon as possible, and he and Yu Yongning are quite happy to cooperate, so he doesn't mind reminding one or two, showing personal favor.

"Thank you, I understand." Yu Yongning really understood that this time the investigation cannot be favoritism, otherwise he may be included in it!
"Farewell."

Wang Gui took a step first. He held the families on the list in his hand, which spread across dozens of states. He had to plan with the Weifu army first, and then seize them at the same time.

Thinking of the shock that would be caused if this matter were exposed, Wang Gui couldn't help but feel palpitations.

The sage does not move, but when he moves, the world is turned upside down.

Yu Yongning also took a light breath to calm down.He and Wang Gui have a clear division of labor, one to arrest the Jingxiang family who committed the crime, and the other to arrest the officials.

On the side of the officials, he has already made a decision. He plans to come to Anzhou and join forces with the court envoys, and first call the officials from the surrounding states to ask them one by one. On the surface, it is a formal investigation, but in fact it is a direct arrest!

As for the Chen family, they are just grasshoppers after autumn.
