At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 227 Great Victory on Luzhou Road

Two days later.

In a tent in the military barracks outside Nanjing City.

This tent was surrounded by heavy guards, and there were elite Ming soldiers in armor and holding long knives in all directions.

Li Feng, Wen Shan, Zhang Song, and Zhang Jiuwu looked at each other.

When they met in such a scene, they lost the joy they had when they met before, and the first time they looked a little scared.

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing.

Li Feng, with a hideous scar on his face, spoke first: "I received a secret edict from King Huai in the military camp of Huai'an City, and I came to Nanjing City to meet King Huai, and the emissary who delivered the edict told me that King Huai wanted to give me a piece of paper. great task to accomplish.”

Wen Shan, Zhang Song, and Zhang Jiuwu were silent, their eyes showing fear.

"Could it be that you were summoned to Nanjing City in the same way?" Li Feng looked at Wenshan and the others and guessed.

Seeing Li Feng's ashen face, Wen Shan answered the words weakly: "I received the secret edict of King Huai in Qinghe City, and the content of the edict is the same as yours."

"Zhang Song, how about Zhang Jiuwu and you?" Li Feng continued to ask unwillingly.

Zhang Jiuwu's face was extremely pale, as if he hadn't heard Li Feng's words, he just showed a dazed expression, his eyes dull.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Song's forehead, and he said nervously: "We should all be fooled. Zhang Jiuwu received the secret edict of King Huai in Hongze City, and I received the secret edict of King Huai in Qingjiang City. Zhang Jiuwu and I were in Liuhe City When we met, Zhang Jiuwu privately told me that he had also received the secret edict of King Huai, and I felt extremely suspicious at that time. But when we first walked out of Liuhe City, there were already hundreds of Jinyi guards waiting, and after that, it was me and Zhang Nine Five was brought here."

"Could it be that guy Lin Chen confessed us?" Li Feng's eyes flickered.

Wen Shan glanced at Li Feng: "It shouldn't be him. I guess, maybe it was Yu Shijie who was with Lin Chen before. Although he died, no one knows how much he told Jin Yiwei before he died." I don't know. You all know that this Jin Yiwei is Duke Huai's eyes and ears. Presumably, all of this was ordered by Duke Huai."

"This Lin Chen really failed to succeed and failed!" Zhang Song said angrily.

"It's meaningless to talk about it now. Our top priority right now is to understand Duke Huai's attitude towards us. Also, on weekdays, you shouldn't have exposed it? Anyone who leaves a trace of possible clues must be dealt with." Is it clean?" Li Feng's eyes swept across Wenshan and the others like a knife.

"It's all cleaned up, and there will be no clues left!" Wen Shan was the first to reply.

"I've dealt with it too." Zhang Song answered quickly.

Zhang Jiuwu's expression was still ashamed, as if he was indifferent to Li Feng's words, this scene made Li Feng and the others frowned.

Li Feng immediately said: "Zhang Jiuwu, the matter has not yet reached the worst stage, what do you mean?"

Hearing Li Feng's words, Zhang Jiuwu's originally dull gaze now focused on a few gleams of light. He looked straight at Li Feng, and couldn't help showing a mocking look, but he didn't give an explanation.

Seeing this, Li Feng looked at Zhang Jiuwu with a bit of chill in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that look?" Li Feng glared at Zhang Jiuwu.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuwu couldn't help replying in a daze: "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, we are all suspected of treason. For King Huai, it is enough to know that we are suspected of treason. As for the evidence you are looking for Insufficient, and it can't change our fate at all. You don't really think that Duke Huai has achieved his current status in the name of benevolence, do you? Duke Huai, he also fought with a knife and a gun. To be honest, Duke Huai is a hero, but I think, for all heroes, how would Duke Huai treat us when they face people who might threaten their status or betray them?"

As soon as Zhang Jiuwu finished speaking, the expressions of Li Feng and the others changed dramatically.

"Could it be that this time, we're all going to fall like this?" Li Feng still couldn't believe it.

"Didn't you notice the outside of the tent we were staying in? There are elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty everywhere outside the tent. Even if we want to escape, I am afraid there is no chance. There is only one way in front of us now, that is I just pray that Duke Huai will let us go. But, this...is impossible." Zhang Jiuwu showed a bit of remorse.

At this moment, he thought that if he fell down, his whole family would be implicated.

Since ancient times, the crime of treason has basically been ten deaths and no life.

Regarding the handling of rebellion, since ancient times, the superiors have always cut the grass and roots.

At this moment, Zhang Jiuwu only felt extremely sad in his heart.

Li Feng and the others suddenly saw Zhang Jiuwu beating his chest and stamping his feet, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts.

Regarding Zhang Jiuwu's performance, they naturally thought of what Zhang Jiuwu thought.

They also have families.

At this moment, no matter how much they regret, it will not help.

They couldn't help but think back to why they were so dizzy in the first place, would they think of treason?
Isn't it good to live well?
At least the whole family can be safe and sound, and they don't have to worry as much as they do now.

"At this moment, Duke Huai may be busy cutting off our wings!" Li Feng said bitterly.

Wenshan and the others were silent and did not answer.

Perhaps, they also know the current situation, no matter what they do, they can't change anything, they can only wait for death slowly.

This kind of waiting, the time is undoubtedly extremely long for them.

On May 13th of the [-]th year of Zhizheng, the sky was overcast and dark clouds were everywhere.

A courtyard of Prince Huai's Mansion.

Zhang Qijiu was bowing and facing Cheng De, while Cheng De was turning his back to Zhang Qijiu, his gaze was a little more solemn.

"It's all cleaned up?" Cheng De looked up at the gloomy sky not far away, and his tone was flat.

Hearing this, Zhang Qijiu immediately replied: "Report to King Huai, everything has been dealt with cleanly. Now, Li Feng and his followers in the army have all been captured by Jin Yiwei."

"How many people are there in total?" Cheng De asked calmly.

Zhang Qijiu didn't dare to dawdle at all: "After investigation, my subordinates have arrested Li Feng and several of his henchmen, a total of 1000 to [-] people."

Cheng De couldn't help turning around and looking at Zhang Qijiu: "Two hundred people out of 1000? How come there are so many people?"

Zhang Qijiu was silent.

Cheng De was also silent after that.

"Why are there so many people? Could it be that they all want my life? Have I ever treated them badly?" Cheng De's heart was filled with anger.

Zhang Qijiu didn't dare to answer, he lowered his head and looked at the ground.

"It has been confirmed that these people are all involved in the rebellion? What's wrong?" Cheng De stared at Zhang Qijiu and asked.

Zhang Qijiu quickly replied: "Duke Huai Mingjian, my subordinates dare not lie to Duke Huai. These people are indeed involved in the rebellion."

"Can you find out that the family members of these people are involved?" Cheng De asked.

Zhang Qijiu showed hesitation, he didn't dare to finish his sentence, he just replied: "According to my subordinates, some people's family members should be involved, but some people's family members didn't get involved."

Cheng De sighed lightly.

"Zhang Qijiu, you lead people to carefully screen the family members of these people. If they don't know about it, let them go. But if they are involved, they will all be sent to the prison of the Criminal Ministry and handed over to Zhu Sheng and the others. In addition, these people The evidence of the rebellion was also handed over to Zhu Sheng, and a sentence was given to him-those who were convicted of treason should all be sentenced to death. Also, let him sort out the files of these people's rebellion. Use it."

Zhang Qijiu: "Follow the order!"

Cheng De: "How are Li Feng and the others doing these days?"

Zhang Qijiu's expression froze, and he quickly reacted: "I want to report to King Huai, Li Feng and the others are staying in the barracks outside the city. Looking at them, they must know what will happen to them at this time, right?"

Cheng De nodded: "Did Lin Chen catch it?"

Zhang Qijiu replied: "I've already caught it, and I'm already on my way to Nanjing City. According to the information from Qianhu of Jinyiwei in Huai'an City, they found tens of 10 taels of silver and several boxes of gold in Lin Chen's home." Yin Caibao, and dozens of concubines. My subordinates estimated that after noon today, the Jin Yiwei who escorted Lin Chen should have arrived in Nanjing City."

Cheng De: "Did Lin Chen plead guilty?"

Zhang Qijiu shook his head: "No, according to the news from Jin Yiwei, this Lin Chen is especially hard-spoken, and he keeps shouting for injustice."

"Really?" Cheng De's face turned cold.

"I just don't know if there is any way to keep him from being tough?" Cheng De's eyes showed a cold look.

When Zhang Qijiu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I want to report to King Huai, there are many methods in the prison to pry Lin Chen's mouth open. Please also ask King Huai to hand over Lin Chen to his subordinates in the future. I guarantee that Lin Chen will confess everything he has done!"

Cheng De looked at Zhang Qijiu with satisfaction: "Don't kill him all at once!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qijiu replied.

"After Lin Chen has confessed all his crimes, he will be handed over to Zhu Sheng of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will handle the rest." Cheng De urged Zhang Qijiu again.

"This subordinate understands." Zhang Qijiu replied with a bow.

Cheng De suddenly said: "This king is a little tired."

Zhang Qijiu hurriedly saluted and said, "This subordinate will leave!"

After Zhang Qijiu left, the courtyard fell into silence.

In Cheng De's heart, he was concerned about the battle situation at Feng Guoyong's side on Luzhou Road.

I don't know what happened to Feng Guoyong?
This time they wiped out Lin Chen and the others, and the next Da Ming should be able to recuperate well.

at this time.

Cheng De's ears twitched suddenly.

Just now, he heard some commotion outside Duke Huai's mansion. He listened carefully, but he heard clearly: "Great victory on Luzhou Road!"

As the sound approached, Cheng De was convinced that he heard it well, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Luzhou Road, finally won.
