Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 162 - Chapter 160
At noon in Beiping City, the sky began to turn gloomy. After two hours of brewing, there was a thunder, and finally it began to rain.

Pedestrians on the street were suddenly startled and scattered.

In a family near the city gate, the lazy husband gloated at the people hiding from the rain on the street, laughed, and then proudly showed off to his wife.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm right. I said a long time ago that it will rain this afternoon. Fortunately, I didn't leave the stall. Otherwise, I would have been drenched."

After the husband finished speaking, he continued to laugh, but he laughed and found that the daughter-in-law didn't pay attention to his words, so she raised her eyebrows.

"Why, am I wrong? Besides, if I hadn't reminded you to collect your clothes early, even the clothes you washed yesterday would get wet again."

The woman sighed, cast a blank look at her husband, and said angrily, "Yes, yes, what you said is correct, but after all it was a day's delay in making a living, so there's nothing to be proud of if you say you're right."

The husband was choked.

Just when he was about to make a few more excuses, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

"The King of Yan has ordered that the gates of the city be closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city."

When the woman heard the movement, she came to the door curiously and looked around, "Master, what's going on? It's not time to close the city gate yet."

"Go, go, what do you know, a woman, this must be a big deal."

……

Soon, all the gates of Beiping City were closed.

The common people all hid at home because of the rain, only heard the sound of soldiers from the patrol battalion running in unison on the street without avoiding the rain.

And at dusk.

More than a thousand soldiers under Zhenwu's subordinates from the Right Guard Camp entered the city with the order of the King of Yan.

Zhen Wu rode a tall horse and walked in front of all the soldiers. While running, his face was expressionless, and he gave orders in a deep voice.

"Zhang Wu, bring your men to arrest Liu Mang's family, but if you encounter resistance, you will be shot or killed. Liu Sheng, you go and arrest Zhao Qi, Gu Ming, you go..."

Following Zhen Wu's order after order, the sergeants quickly separated out and galloped towards the target.

In the end, Zhen Wu raised his eyes, and the reflection of the raindrops showed a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

"Xue Lu brought people with me to capture Mengju."

"Impossible to take orders."

Xue Lu seemed to be releasing all the negative energy of the past few days, roaring furiously, his voice piercing the rain, even Hu Changyong under his banner could not wait to cry up to the sky at this moment.

In the past few days, how many people have pointed fingers at them, and how many people have privately criticized that Zhen Wu will be beheaded. Now that Zhen Wu is in charge of Yan Wang's order to arrest the rebel, it is enough to break all the rumors.

He knew that he was not wrong about the person, and he could never go wrong with Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu took the lead to whip the horse, and headed towards Meng Ju's house on the empty street. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting later and later. The rain flowed down his neck and into his chest. On this midsummer evening, there was a feeling of coolness .

Behind him, more than a hundred soldiers followed silently, with murderous aura.

The sound of rain, the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of armored soldiers kept ringing. The scared people hid in their homes and did not dare to make any noise. Only some bold people dared to peek through the windows secretly.

And at this time Mengju's home.

Meng Ju frowned deeply, the movement in the city cannot be concealed from others, and Zhen Wu's going to the Yan Palace also cannot escape his eyes and ears, he felt faintly uneasy, but he still forced himself to settle down.

The old slave at the side looked anxious: "Master, I don't think the movement in the city is right, or else you should find a way to hide first, Master?"

"hide?"

Meng Ju sneered: "Why do you want to hide? I have Duke Liang to protect me, and Marquis Jingning value me recently. I don't believe that King Yan dares to take me for no reason."

"But the movement in the city is really not right." The old slave was still worried.

Mengju looked through the window and landed on the beaded rain curtain, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, he knew that he made a mistake, and that was the missing piece of jade pendant.

However, Meng Ju immediately comforted himself that it was just a jade pendant, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to discover its secret by coincidence.

There are tens of thousands of jade pendants, even if their names are engraved, what can they represent?
Even the name Yu Yun, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are eight hundred if not one thousand, so what does it mean? !

thought here.

Meng Ju's restless heart calmed down a little, and he said in a deep voice: "If King Yan really came against me, you should find a way to go out immediately and find Marquis Jingning, he will definitely save me. If you have wronged me, you must go straight to Tianting and make him turn upside down."

The old slave nodded solemnly.

At this moment, a panicked voice sounded.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, outside... There are a lot of soldiers coming outside." A man dressed as a servant hurried over regardless of the rain.

Meng Ju stood up abruptly.

Yan Wang Zhu Di, how could he really target me.

"Follow me to have a look." Meng Ju picked up the umbrella beside him with a livid face, opened it, stepped into the rain curtain first, and walked towards the gate.

At the gate, the gate had already been tightly closed by the servants, and several of Mengju's personal soldiers guarded the two sides of the gate anxiously, looking uneasy and flustered.

Meng Ju scolded angrily: "Why panic, I'm not dead yet."

As soon as these words were said, the door slammed open from the outside with a bang. Zhen Wu walked in with a knife in his hand, as if he was carrying the wind and rain in the sky. He saw Mengju not far away at first glance. .

Meng Ju was shocked, seeing the expressionless Zhen Wu walking in from the outside, followed by many soldiers, standing on both sides of Zhen Wu, he already understood that today would not be good.

But he couldn't understand.

Meng Ju gritted his teeth and glared at Zhen Wudao: "Zhen Wu, what do you want to do?!"

"What do I want?"

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows like a blade, and said to Meng Ju: "A few days ago, you sent people to my house to arrest my younger brother, but Zhen Wu dared to arrest him with a knife. courage?"

Meng Ju's expression changed several times in shock at Zhen Wu's shout.

"Zhen Wu, why did you take me?!"

"Why?"

Zhen Wu gave a piss, this Mengju was intimidated after all, and then said in a deep voice: "Xue Lu."

"I'm humble."

Zhen Wu waved his hand: "This group of remnants of the Hu party, no matter men, women, old or young, don't let me let go of any of them."

"Yes."

Xue Lu then waved towards the door, and the soldiers poured into Meng Ju's house like a tide, and quickly spread their troops towards Meng Ju's house, while Xue Lu took the lead and rushed towards Meng Ju's personal soldiers with his sword drawn.

"The king of Yan has an order to arrest criminals, and if they dare to resist, they will be shot to death."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Ju's soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dropped their knives and tied their hands.

At this time, Meng Ju's face was full of horror, and the words "the remnants of the Hu party" echoed back and forth in his mind.

Zhen Wu glanced at Meng Ju disdainfully, and waved his hand again: "Tie me up."

Several sergeants rushed towards Mengju quickly, Mengju's old slave stepped forward and wanted to resist, but was cut down by the sergeant, and the sergeants tied up Mengju and others without saying a word.

The rain was still falling, accompanied by the sergeant's icy armor, sweeping across Mengju's house.

"Zhen Wu!"

The bound Mengju was full of anger, and looked at Zhen Wu as if his eyes could burst into flames: "Don't be arrogant, if you behave like this in my house, I, Mengju, will definitely make you die. I tell you, you can't blame me. .”

Zhen Wu walked up to him disdainfully, patted Meng Ju's face, and said lightly: "Do you still think you are someone? Who is fighting? Duke Liang or Marquis Jingning? Tell you, I, Zhen Wu, have always moved Ruo Lei Ting, since he dared to raid your home, he will do his best, if you survive this time, I will take your head off and give it to you without your hands."

"You..." Mengju was terrified and speechless.

It was only at this time that Meng Ju felt that Zhen Wu's aggressive attack was unstoppable, but he only regarded Zhen Wu as a stunned young man before, which was ridiculous.

Soon, the sergeants who rushed into Mengju's house began to return with one person tied up.

Zhen Wu followed these people and looked over one by one. When he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a head injury, his eyes showed a bit of curiosity.

"Yu Yun, the son of Yu Feng?"

The boy suddenly looked terrified: "I'm not, I'm not."

Zhen Wu frowned, and slapped him casually: "A bastard like you is worthy of my youngest's punishment."

What a fucking wimp.

To live so long that my own father would not dare to admit it, not to drag myself along, and even come out to dance, I am really looking for death.

But Meng Ju's heart sank when he heard Zhen Wu's words.

At this time, Xue Lu ran over, Zhen Wu looked up at Xue Lu: "Have you found anything?"

Xue Lu nodded.

"lead the way."

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Meng Ju and others who had already been captured, and followed Xue Lu straight into the inner house, and then found some letters between Meng Ju and others in Meng Ju's bedroom.

As Zhen Wu flipped through the pages, he said to Xue Lu, "Search carefully, and don't miss anything suspicious."

Xue Lu went down in response.

Zhen Wu flipped through these letters briefly, and they were generally useful, but not very useful, and Meng Ju would not leave too obvious a clue.

After watching, Cao Xiaoman ran back.

Zhen Wu asked without raising his head: "Is there any commotion in the Zhongwei camp? Are there any disturbances among the thousands of subordinates?"

"I report to Qianhu that there is no commotion. The patrol battalion dispatched by His Royal Highness King Yan has all been in place, and when I came, the two Qianhu households, Qiu Fu and Zhu Liang, also revealed that all the soldiers in Zhongwei have been controlled."

Zhen Wu nodded.

"How are Zhang Wu and the others doing? Did they encounter any resistance?"

Cao Xiaoman replied: "Most of them are going well, and if there is any resistance, it will be solved immediately, but there is something wrong with Liu Shengbaihu."

Zhen Wu looked up at Cao Xiaoman.

Cao Xiaoman went on to say: "Zhao Qi's family found a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city. Someone must have escaped. Liu Shengbai's family has already led people out of the city to chase after it."

"Fuck."

Zhen Wu cursed secretly, damn it, there are people playing tunnels, Zhen Wu thought for a while and said: "Notify, let other hundred households check if there are tunnels, if anyone lets someone go, I will Whose head, besides, you ask someone to go to the palace, ask Fan Guanghua to borrow some soldiers, support Liu Sheng, and tell Liu Sheng that if he can't chase him back, don't take his head."

Cao Xiaoman took the order and hurried down to work.

Zhen Wu stood up and looked at the sky outside. It rained a lot this night.

At the same time, many well-informed generals gradually became aware of tonight's changes, such as Zhu Neng, who felt a different kind of tension in the Zhongwei camp, thinking of the aggrieved Zhen Wu encountered some time ago Accident, couldn't help laughing, but the next moment brought a trace of envy.

"Tonight, that guy Zhen Wu is really crazy."
