Red House Shoufu

Chapter 176
In the northern city of Daming Mansion City, in an extremely luxurious mansion, Luo Xiangming, a thousand households of the Qianhu Office of Daming Mansion of Henan Province, was drinking with people sent by Prince Yizhong's mansion.

At this time, the butler came over and whispered something in his ear, Luo Xiangming immediately changed color.

"Luo Qianhu, what's going on?"

Luo Xiangming quickly replied: "Mr. Wan, just now the city gate guard sent someone to report that hundreds of forbidden troops have arrived from outside the city, and the leader is said to be an imperial envoy from the capital. By the way, it is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, surnamed Lin!"

"Lin Shu? By the way, it should be him. Before the old man left Beijing, His Highness told the old man to be careful of this Lin Shu, he is the emperor's confidant."

Mr. Wan frowned and said, "Don't let Lin Shu find out about our plan, the old man will go to the government office right away. Master Li just assured the old man last night, saying that Lin Shu didn't notice, why did he bring troops here today. "

"Then what should I do here? He is an imperial envoy, I can't keep him out of the city, can I?" Luo Xiangming asked anxiously.

Mr. Wan stroked his long beard, and a sternness flashed in his eyes: "Drag it first, and immediately send someone to arrest those refugees..."

I saw Mr. Wan wipe his neck, and said fiercely: "Since the young and strong have been sent to Zhuangzi, the remaining people are useless. To prevent the news from leaking, let the remaining people deal with it. Big deal It's almost here, don't miss out on us!"

Luo Xiangming was taken aback by Mr. Wan's words. He is still a scholar, so he is so ruthless.

"That's hundreds of people... this..."

"The benevolence of a woman! Luo Qianhu, His Highness's great cause is important. Don't you want Luo Qianhu to be appointed as a marquis and general? Don't forget your wife, children and mother in the capital!"

……

Even though the guard had verified the official seal, he still refused to open the door with the excuse of not being able to tell the truth.

"General Tan, beat the drum! After the three-way drum, take down this guard for the crime of disobeying the holy order!"

"The last will obey!"

dong dong dong...

The sound of drums shook the sky and spread to the city amidst the sound of rain.The guard on the city wall looked anxiously to the north of the city: "Why haven't you come back?"

But I heard Tan Mingming's voice from below the city again: "The imperial envoy arrived, and you closed the city gate tightly, do you want to rebel? After the three drums, don't open the door again, it's conspiracy!"

dong dong dong...

After two drumbeats, Tan Mingming spoke again: "The last one, after the drumbeat stops, and the door is still not opened, the Dragon Guard will rush forward with the general, and behead the minister!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" As Tan Mingming pulled out his saber, the four hundred dragon guards behind him followed the general and slapped the battle armor on his chest.

The local government guards guarding the city wall had never seen such a battle before. The sound of killing came, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even hold the simple knife in their hands.

As soon as the drums stopped, the city gate slowly opened.Shangguan Jing, the magistrate of the Daming Mansion, ran over covered in mud and water without even holding an umbrella.

"It's a crime to let the imperial envoy wait so long in the rain for the late arrival of the official. My lord hastened to the city..."

Without saying a word, Lin Shu steered his horse forward, and the muddy water splashed directly fell on Shangguan Jing's body.

As soon as he entered the city, Lin Shu reined in his horse and stopped: "Come here, take down the general who just defended the city!"

The sudden order made Shangguan Jing ask in surprise, "Lord Lin, what is this?"

"How can a dignified fifth-rank vice-thousand household not be able to distinguish the authenticity of the official seal? Blocking the imperial envoy is an accomplice to treason."

Lin Shu untied the imperial sword from his belt and held it up high: "This is the imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty. Seeing the sword is like seeing Your Majesty."

"Yu Jian..."

Pa, Shangguan Jing's legs softened immediately, and he knelt down in front of Lin Shu.The city guards, who were originally dissatisfied with Lin Shu's order to take down the guard, also knelt down one after another.

Lin Shu indifferently ordered: "Long Jinwei took over the city defense of Daming Mansion, and the official is stationed on top of the city tower. Let all the officials of the Daming Mansion, the Qianhu Office, and the magistrates of the counties in the city, within two quarters of an hour, Come here!"

Following Lin Shu's order, Tan Mingming immediately arranged for the soldiers of the Dragon Guards to take over the city defense.Because of the limited number of people, he mainly controlled the south gate.In other places, a few people are appointed to supervise the city guards of Fucheng.

After Lin Shu cleaned up briefly, Tan Mingming hurried in to warm his soaked clothes by the brazier.

"Bachelor, the brothers among the refugees came to report. Li Jiamao and Qianhu Luo Xiangming secretly sent people to transfer the refugees. According to our information, they may kill people..."

Pa, Lin Shu shot up: "I said, why did you only photograph Shangguan Jing, and the civil and military officials of Fucheng didn't come to greet the imperial envoy. What's the current situation over there?"

Tan Mingming replied: "Li Jiamao and the others didn't dare to make a big show of it. They were going to transfer the refugees to a garden in the north of the city before attacking them. Our people are encouraging the refugees to resist, and the general has already sent people to support them."

The garden in the north of the city?Lin Shu sneered: "Oh, this Li Jiamao, he said earlier that he invited us to live in that garden temporarily. It seems that they did a lot of dirty things there."

Lin Shu's gaze became colder, and he said to Tan Mingming: "After they arrive, let the brothers disarm the guards. Our manpower is limited, so we can only capture the king first."

……

As time went by, Li Jiamao, Shangguan Jing and others came late in a hurry.Followed by Fucheng Tongju, Tuiguan, county magistrates, county magistrates and other high-ranking officials.

"The next official pays homage to the imperial envoy!"

Lin Shu, holding the imperial sword in his hand, was not as high as Li Jiamao, the fourth-rank magistrate in terms of rank, but the title of imperial envoy had to make him bow his head in salute.

Lin Shu glanced around and saw that there was no military officer from the Fucheng, and asked coldly, "Where is the chief and deputy general of the Qianhu Office of the Daming Mansion?"

"Return to the imperial envoy, Qianhu Luo Xiangming has been sick recently, and I'm afraid that if he gets sick, he will be angry..."

Shangguan bowed and replied: "Vice general Zhu Shaobo has just been taken down by your lord."

Lin Shu remained silent, and the atmosphere on the tower gradually became dignified.Li Jiamao was still guessing the reason for Lin Shu's sudden arrival, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

But at this time, Luo Xiangmingzheng and Wanzhongyuan sent by Prince Yizhong will deal with the first and last, and he needs to delay.

"My lord, according to the regulations of the imperial court, I need to check the imperial decree and your lord's official seal!"

Li Jiamao pretended to be surprised, and said to Lin Shu: "I remember that the court issued a decree a few days ago, Lord Lin should be ordered to inspect the river defense, why did Shangguan Tongzhi just say that Lord Lin was ordered to inspect the military and political affairs of Henan? "

Lin Shu raised the imperial sword in his hand, and said loudly: "If the imperial sword is here again, seeing the sword is like seeing your majesty! Before leaving Beijing, your majesty ordered me to secretly inspect the military and political affairs of Henan. Would you like me to send you to the Forbidden City to personally report to your majesty?" Ask for proof."

"Understood dare not!"

Li Jiamao looked at the dragon decoration on the hilt of Yujian, and immediately bowed and said: "Your official is just strange. Yesterday, I failed to invite Mr. Lin into the city. Why did Mr. Lin suddenly bring troops here?"

At this time, Tan Mingming came over with his firm and persistent clothes.He nodded to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu immediately said: "I was ordered to inspect Henan. Li Jiamao, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, seized food for disaster relief, deliberately gathered refugees, and conspired against the law. The same crime is the same as that of the Shangguan. The government has neglected duties and dereliction of duty... Take down these moths !"
