Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 174 The Grasshopper on a Rope
The steam warship on the Pearl River, as the soldiers ignited, the lead wire inside the jet-black barrel burned, and a fire snake flew out.

The shells landed precisely on the street.

boom

boom

boom

The three artillery shells directly blasted a big hole in the street, rubble flew everywhere, and thick smoke was everywhere.

Only the stumps and broken arms of the people who were hit were flying.

Thick smoke rose from the pitch-black barrel, ready to continue bombarding at any time.

He fired, he really fired, and in the surprised expressions of Zhang Tao and others, Zhu Zhanchang ordered the steamship to fire without any hesitation!

Zhang Tao originally believed that Zhu Zhanchang would not dare to fire in the civilian area, but Zhu Zhanchang didn't even hesitate. As soon as he made a move on his side, he would not hesitate to fire directly.

Both sides have been fighting for almost an hour. There are no civilians around here. If you don't open fire, you will treat me as a sick cat.

Another cannonball was fired at the team of gangsters and gangsters who aimed at the Guangzhou House East Guardian and the gang at the back of the street.

How can the flesh and blood fight against the strong ship and the cannon?
The truth is always only within the range of artillery fire.

This cannon made Zhang Tao and Zhang Zixing stupid, and the **** on the opposite side was a ruthless person. It was crazy to bombard the city of Guangzhou directly.

Zhang Zixing asked in a panic, "Second brother, what should I do?"

"You have to find a chance to run, and run with people immediately." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Tao was ready to slip away, and he couldn't care less. The opponent had cannons, and it was impossible for his side to fight. Still not good at fighting.

Looking at the steam warship like a giant steel beast, it is even more difficult to evoke the slightest desire to win.

"Second brother, no, Zhang Tai is still inside." That was Zhang Zixing's only son.

"Leave Qingshan so that you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If you get in there, Zhang Tai will be even more helpless in the future." Zhang Tao still fulfilled his duty as a sworn brother, and dragged Zhang Zixing to take advantage of the chaos and ran away.

There was already a mess in the crowd, and no one saw when or how the two left.

Until Zhang Tao's command voice was not heard, the soldiers lost their backbone, and soon surrendered from front to back.

At this time, the officers of the three divisions in the rear finally arrived. The first to arrive was Huang Huihong, who was in command of the envoy division. He brought his soldiers to kill from the rear.

Huang Huihong rode through the kneeling crowd and ran towards Zhu Zhanchang: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright." He got off his horse and came to Zhu Zhanchang's side. Seeing that Zhu Zhanchang was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen's rescue came late, please punish your Highness."

"The incident happened suddenly, and it has nothing to do with the commander Huang Du." Zhu Zhanchang said coldly, seeing that the situation had basically settled down.

In Huang Huihong's impression, Zhu Zhanchang is not such a negotiable person. Today, Zhu Zhanchang cannot easily let it pass, but his attitude towards himself seems to be better than before.

After Huang Huihong, Liang Fu, the prefect of Guangzhou, arrived second, followed by the time when the envoy was brought to justice, and finally the fat Jin Wu came with a knife. When he ran, the flesh on his face trembled. The amount of exercise is too much for him.

When he arrived in front of Zhu Zhanchang, he was already tired and out of breath: "Hall... Your Highness, are you all right?"

"I am concerned about Laojinfantai, but they are just thieves. Thank you for coming to help the four. If the four don't come, I'm afraid I will fall into the hands of thieves."

Zhu Zhanchang said this very politely, but the expressions of several people were not good, and they were hardly helpful.

Does Zhu Zhanchang not blame them?Sometimes it is more comfortable to be scolded than not to be scolded. The army is dragged into the street by a group of underworld gangsters. Isn't this a slap in the face of this group of people?

The army is so blatantly complicit with the gangsters, what is the use of the Guangdong Third Division?
Huang Huihong hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter will definitely be found out. There are daring thieves in the army who collude with these thieves.

Zhu Zhanchang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I ordered the whole city to blockade, and sent people to guard these two people's homes. As for the military affairs, I will come personally."

"Yes, Your Highness." Huang Huihong was secretly shocked. His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County was about to formally intervene in military power, and at the timing of this intervention, no one could say a word to him, and he would not dare to say a word of refusal.

If Huang Huihong dared to delay even half a sentence at this time, the sword of Emperor Yongle would wipe his throat.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at a large number of captured soldiers and gangsters. There must have been a lot of people who ran away before, but the prison in Guangzhou Prefecture was not enough for these people, and the guards on his side were also killed and injured. Not a few.

These people were all killed or injured to protect him.

When Chen Youshan saw Zhu Zhanchang, who was calm as if nothing had happened, a trace of fear arose in his heart. He had never seen such a Zhu Zhanchang.

In the past, His Highness could feel his emotions in everything he encountered, whether it was happy, joyful, angry or sad, never like this.

It was like the water in an ancient well in winter, without any ripples, but with a terrifying coldness.

This is a big deal!
Zhu Zhanchang closed his eyes for a while, and then said: "There is a gangster hanging inside, claiming to be the prince, and the son of Zhang Zixing. There is such a big commotion today, we also have to give the people an explanation, and prepare for the Three Divisions Meeting from tomorrow. In the trial, Zhang Tao and Zhang Zixing's treason case, Jin Fantai, Fang Zangsi, and Huang Du's commander, there will be three Lao Laos by then."

rebellion!

Zhu Zhanchang made a conclusion of the crime first, and the three of them glanced at each other and agreed.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Liang Fu, the prefect of Guangzhou, and said, "I heard that the prefect of Liang had judged a lot of big and suspicious cases in the past. This time, the prefect of Liang will be the presiding judge, and the three divisions will review it."

"Weichen is frightened, and I would like to share the worries for Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanchang looked at the steam warship on the river. Sure enough, he had to have a gun in his hand. The king of the county and the grandson of the emperor were all false. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. What really happened? The emperor thought Help is an afterthought.
My life is gone, what's the use of catching the murderer again, I have to have enough strength.

Li Xiaozhu and Zara walked down, and Zhu Zhanchang said with a slight smile, "You're scared."

Both shook their heads, but it seemed that they knew, this scene still scared them both.

"Send the two of them back to the warship first, and then live on the warship. Guangzhou Prefecture is not safe. The gangsters can lead troops into the city at will, and I don't know when they rebel." Zhu Zhanchang's voice was not too loud. , but the three divisions in Guangdong can hear it, and so can the prefect of Guangzhou.

There is no doubt that Zhu Zhanchang is to blame, this matter will definitely reach Zhu Di's ears, and the positions of the three may not be guaranteed.

The only chance for meritorious deeds now is for Zhu Zhanchang to give Zhu Zhanchang a satisfactory explanation in the next tribunal. As long as Zhu Zhanchang speaks, the three of them will still have a chance.

"His Royal Highness, take a rest first, we will catch all these daring madmen first, and chase those who ran away." Jin Wu helped Zhu Zhanchang to sit down first, and several others agreed.

Looking at the people on the street being tied up and going to prison, Zhu Zhanchang drank tea leisurely. After a while, the people who had been sent out came back in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, it's all instructed."

"Take a breath and talk."

"All commanders, Zhang Zixing and Zhang Tao's family had left the city before we arrived, and informed the people who closed the city that they had left before they reached the gate of the city, and most of their family members were left behind, the two wives and Zhang Tao's two My son, get out of town quickly."

"What?!" Huang Huihong's face was full of anger.

Zhu Zhanchang narrowed his eyes slightly. If they said that after running away from here, the two went home and took their closest people away, it would be too late, but if they were already prepared, did they really rebel?

Shaking his head, it was obvious that the two of them did not plan to do it on their own.

Zhu Zhanchang observed the expressions of everyone present. Huang Huihong was angry, Fang Shi had no expression, Jin Wu was anxious, and Liang Fu and Jin Wu had basically the same expressions.

The biggest possibility is that the two of them sent someone to notify their family members when the war started here, and they left the city lightly, but there is another possibility. Out of the city, who is this person?

The water is deep.

But is this right, only relying on the commander of the Guangzhou government guard station, dare to be so arrogant?

Huang Huihong angrily reprimanded his subordinates: "What are you still doing, don't send someone to look for it, go after me, I'm sure I haven't run far."

"Yes, yes." The subordinate received a training and hurriedly sent someone to look for it.

Turning his head, Huang Huihong was afraid that Zhu Zhanchang would blame him for not doing things well, but Zhu Zhanchang was drinking tea from a cup and seemed not to take these things to heart.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen is ineffective, please punish him."

"It's all over the commander's words. It's not your fault to do anything wrong. Don't worry, let's sit down and have a cup of tea together."

Zhu Zhanchang looked so negotiable, but confused Huang Huihong.

"It's getting late, I'll go back to the warship to rest first, and you guys will go home early to prepare for the next tribunal tribunal, I'll let Lin Miao record from the side, and I'll start from the beginning about these people's rebellion. The tail is in the newspaper."

"Oh, by the way, the warship's artillery had no eyes, and it blew up the houses of some residents. I also asked the three of them to settle them properly and pay the prince's residence in Zhujiang County."

"It is the responsibility of the ministers." Jin Wu replied.

Zhu Zhanchang took the guard back to the warship. The three knew that if the matter was not resolved, Zhu Zhanchang would not live in Guangzhou Mansion. Now the three of them only have the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Zhu Zhanchang will not be angry with them now just to see what happens next. Performance.

The three watched the steamship go along the river, Jin Wu beckoned to let Liang Fu go over, and the four of them had a small meeting together.

"Brother Jin, what do you think about this matter?" Huang Huihong asked first, and this matter has the most to do with him.

As a political envoy, Jin Wu is theoretically the leader. At this time, his face was full of sadness: "What should I do? What can I do? Brother Huang, this Zhang Tao is your subordinate."

"Don't put the blame on me. Although the guards of the Guangzhou government are organized under the commanders, they are essentially managed by the Guangzhou government."

Liang Fujian only said a few words, and the blame fell on him. Is this the least sin he wants to take on his position?
"Three adults, now is not the time to shirk. His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County ordered me and the three adults to conduct a tribunal against Zhang Tai. This is an opportunity for His Highness to give us the opportunity to take guilt and make merit."

Jin Wu turned to Fang Shi: "Brother Fang, what do you think about this?"

"What do I think? His Highness wants a trial, so that's a trial." Fang Shi didn't offer any constructive opinions. This matter had the least connection to him, and he consciously had already served Zhu Zhanchang. Things are left as far as possible.

"Brother Fang, you are most familiar with the law. What is the intention of His Highness ordering our three divisions to conduct a tribunal? You can analyze it."

"Since it is a tribunal of three divisions, it is naturally to convict him."

When Jin Wu saw Fang's words, he didn't help or was in a hurry, so he could only say with a sullen face: "Brother Fang, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, although it seems that this matter has something to do with you, the prosecutor. It's not big, but the Jing inspector is just around the corner, and it is inevitable that the inspector will be neglected by the ginseng one."

"Brother Jin, are you threatening me?"

"How dare I, Brother Fang, it's just that we are in the same boat now, you are in charge of the law, and the cabinet has an old mentor, you can always speak in front of His Highness, and help him to ask what His Highness means, is it for him? What kind of crime can be convicted to satisfy His Highness."

Only then did Fang Shi provide some meaningful words: "Zhang Tai's conviction is small, follow the vine, the backing behind His Highness's desire to capture him is big, His Highness handed over the power to us for trial, that is, let us try people out, find out As long as he is satisfied, His Highness is going to kill Zhang Zixing, Zhang Tai and the others."

Fang Shi's voice fell, and several people involuntarily looked at Huang Huihong.

"Why? What do you think I do? I have nothing to do with them." Huang Huihong hurriedly shied away.

"Brother Huang, as far as I know, Zhang Tao should have brought soldiers into the city several times in the past few years. Although the number is not as large as this time, there are still hundreds of them. I still have your permission." Jin Wu talked about the past. matter.

Huang Huihong panicked for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, he came here with a military order before, and the reason was that there were a small number of rioting forces in the city, and Liang Zhifu knew about it."

Liang Fu's face was a little ugly, but he nodded: "The gangs in the city fought melee before, and it was impossible not to lead troops, but the next time I didn't ask for help, he had already led the troops."

His attention returned to Huang Huihong again, and Huang Huihong coughed: "I have complete procedures here and can withstand the investigation." Having said that, he was very empty, and there were indeed one or two supplementary supplements. The order, because Zhang Tao is usually filial and proper, he also opened one eye and closed one eye.

Jin Wu sighed: "Then let's check, until His Highness is satisfied, the commander will first let people arrest all the members of the Xinchao An Gang, examine them one by one, and ask them one by one to see if they can investigate. What comes out."

Between the conversations, a guard came over.

"Didn't you see we were talking?"

"Master Fang, it's Mr. Nan who has arrived."

"Mr. Nan?" Fang Shi was taken aback, who invited him out.

While speaking, an old man with gray hair and gray beard came over. He was wearing a rough cloth and leaning on a stick and a stick that he had picked up from somewhere. His expression was very good.

Next to him was a young man wearing navy blue coarse cloth. He was born white and looked really good.

"Caomin, Nan Shenghuai, I have met the governor, the probation officer, the commander, and the prefect."

Fang Shi hurriedly supported the old man who was saluting: "Uncle clan, what are you doing so politely, our younger generation can't bear your gift."

"Teacher, why are you here?" Jin Wu also helped Nan Shenghuai to sit down first.

He still sits first in front of the third division, and a commoner is worth a lot of money.
