Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 319 Demonstration
On the second day after the arrest of Lai Yongnian and other criminals, Li Banghua's inscription and Jin Yiwei's secret performance were sent to the capital at the same time.

But now that the case has been solved, Jin Yiwei is very familiar with the remaining matters, copy what should be copied, and whoever is connected to the plant will not let it go. These matters have nothing to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Just when Li Banghua had finished his lunch and was about to leave Jining for an unannounced visit to other places, the imperial decree from the capital arrived, and the content was naturally to send him as an imperial envoy to Jiangnan to deal with the strike case.

Li Banghua was both shocked and angry after seeing the Jinyiwei secret performance sent along with the imperial decree.Although he knew that the officials in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River formed their own system, and that Nanjing’s left-behind divisions all regarded themselves as small imperial courts, resisting the decree from the capital and the emperor’s will, but he did not expect that these people would openly link up to stop the market for their own self-interest, trying to To cause civil unrest to put pressure on the court, this kind of behavior of disregarding the interests of the country and the court is already tantamount to betraying the country.

Immediately, Li Banghua, along with Chen Jinmin, the Yushi of the Henan Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who happened to be here on inspection, left the city with a group of entourages, boarded the official ship from the capital from the pier, and headed straight for Nanjing. Cursing, he returned to the capital.

In order to impress Li Banghua on his trip to Nanjing, Zhu Youjian specially dispatched two hundred cavalry from the Beijing camp to serve as his guard under the leadership of a general, and the entire imperial guard of honor was in charge of the Jinyiwei Dahan General.

Along with Li Banghua was Feng Yucheng.Keeping his promise, he took Zhao Laosan and Xu Liuzi out of Jinyiwei's hands, bought brand new robes for them at the tailor shop in the city, and took them back to Huai'an Mansion with Li Banghua's boat.

After arriving at Huai'an Mansion, Feng Yucheng will write a letter to his family, asking the family to send someone to pick up Xu Liuzi's family and go to his hometown in Xiangyang.

When Zhao Laosan and Xu Liuzi were tied up and sent to prison by Jin Yiwei last night, their hearts were full of despair, anger and remorse. Both of them thought that they had been cheated by that handsome official, and that he was taking them as pawns. Take the bait, wait for the big fish to swallow the bait, and then catch the fish in your hand.

Thinking about the possibility of losing his life this time, and even more thinking about how his wife, children and children would survive without his pillar, although Xu Liuzi didn't cry, tears poured down like a flood that opened the gate.

Zhao Laosan quickly accepted the reality after his anger passed, it was just a cheap life, and the official could take it if he wanted, but he shouldn't let some honest six sons die with him.The two were imprisoned in a cell. After Zhao Laosan thought about it, he still whispered sorry to Xu Liuzi. After shaking his head, Xu Liuzi sobbed and replied, "Third brother, this is our fate." ah!"

The two never expected that the next morning, Jin Yiwei released them after questioning each cell, and it was Feng Yucheng who was waiting outside the prison with his hands behind his back and smiling.

The two who couldn't sleep in regret last night suddenly realized that Master Feng had not lied to them. After knelt down and kowtowed heavily, the two's hearts' loyalty to their master instantly rose to the peak.

Li Banghua's ship arrived in Huai'an three days later, and Feng Yucheng begged him to go ashore to rest, but Li Banghua firmly refused. In desperation, Feng Yucheng resigned from the superior, took two newly recruited servants off the boat, and returned to Xuncao Yushi Yamen.

After replenishing supplies, the ship continued to head south, and arrived at Yangzhou Wharf two days later.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Li Banghua did not go ashore. Instead, he briefly communicated with Li Ruolian who had heard the news, and then left the Grand Canal by boat, turned east, and entered the mighty Yangtze River along Hangou. After two days of driving, he finally arrived at the Arrived in Nanjing around Weishi.

After sending people to Nanjing to communicate, Li Banghua on the boat tasted a pot of new tea leisurely, then took a nap in the cockpit for half an hour, and closed his eyes for a while after waking up.It was not until Zhang Yun came in to report that the Nanjing officials who had come to welcome them had arrived at the pier, Li Banghua ordered to inform the Jingying cavalry to disembark first, and then he got up to wash up, put on brand new official uniforms, gauze caps and jade belted official boots, After ordering the full set of imperial guards of honor to be displayed, old man Li leisurely left the cabin.

The reason why Li Banghua, who has always disliked extravagance and advocated simplicity and nature, suddenly changed his style was to show the majesty and momentum of the imperial court to the people in Nanjing, and let these officials who lost themselves in the bustling and dreamy place Ladies and gentlemen, truly feel the majesty and cruelty.After receiving Zhu Youjian's instruction, Li Banghua immediately sent someone to inform Li Li, the leader of the team, about the demonstration.

Li Li, the general manager of the Beijing Battalion in full black armor, went down the wide boat bridge to the pier, took the reins from the soldiers, and jumped onto the horse. The black-maned and white-hoofed horse neighed and rushed forward. Li Li reined in the reins, and the horseman stood up. His two thick front legs made a crisp sound when they landed. While shaking his head and tail, he kept grunting, obviously dissatisfied with his master for stopping him from sprinting.

Li Li turned his head to signal, and the soldiers around him raised a red flag and waved it twice. The two teams of thirty black-armored knights who had disembarked and mounted their horses, led by their respective team leaders, galloped their horses towards the pier more than a hundred steps away. welcome crowd.

A large number of high-ranking officials who had been waiting impatiently looked at the cavalry disembarking one by one, and they were pointing and discussing with each other, comparing this cavalry with the soldiers of the Jiangnan Guards that they had seen before. , suddenly found that the cavalry was coming straight towards him. Although it was only a small group of cavalry, the coercive and frightening aura was something this group of officials had never seen before.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, only the rain-like sound of horseshoes resounded throughout the pier when the horses were about to speed up.Just when the officials in the front row were stunned and pale, and the servants and family members in the back turned and ran back, the horse team turned to the sides when they were dozens of steps in front of everyone. The chaotic crowd, these are the servants of the officials who came to greet them and the servants in the city.

Amidst the yelling and screaming, the crowd surrounding the officials was dispersed in an instant, and the surrounding area was completely emptied, leaving only a handful of high-ranking officials standing on the ground.The knights circled their horses and lined up on both sides. The heads of the horses pointed straight to the people in Beijing. The knights on the horses held the reins in one hand and pressed the long swords around their waists with one hand, and looked at the people on the field expressionlessly. As if wondering where to hack.

After the two hundred horse teams disembarked, they were connected with the front team under the command of the team officer and formed two neat rows.

Immediately afterwards, a group of tall and burly generals in white armor and gold helmets holding sixteen colored flags stepped off the boat and lined up on both sides. Then eight warriors in gold armor and white helmets held a knife with one hand, the blade resting on their shoulders, and then disembarked with their heads held high. In the end, two big men in the same armor held wooden signs and walked down vigorously. On one side of the wooden sign was written "Imperial Order to Supervise Southern Zhili Affairs", and on the other side was written "Zuodu Censor Li".

It was not a long period of time from the time when the cavalry began to drive away the crowd to when the imperial guard of honor disembarked, but during the whole process, no matter whether it was the cavalry or the guard of honor, no one made any shouts, and all the soldiers performed silently. Following Shangguan's instructions, that cold-blooded posture made people feel chills to the bone.

After all the ceremonial guards were unfurled, Li Banghua appeared on the deck wearing a red crane mending suit. After he glanced at the crowd under the boat, he held the jade belt in both hands and walked down the wide plank at a leisurely pace. Two guards holding the flag of Wang Ming followed closely behind, and Chen Jinmin waited for Li Banghua to go a little far before disembarking and followed.
