Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 282
Gui Yifu was a little horrified, he didn't know anything about this matter, the guards knew about the blockade of the pier, and the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court also knew about it, but when someone dared to intercept the imperial envoy, it would be a death penalty.

"Is it right? It's not up to you or me. No one knows that Benhou came here, but a general guarding the city actually knew that Benhou was going to feed the fish, and he even boasted that he knew the inside story. Commander Gui asked you to tell me. How did he know about it? Could it be that the news of the imperial court coming to the south of the Yangtze River has been directly reported to Jinling, who is this person?"

Zhang Jinyu looked at the group of people in front with a gloomy face. No matter how they looked, they looked like a chaotic party, more like those black-clothed troops. By the way, those guards must have participated. Controlling ships on the river is only for the guards and sailors.

Gui Yifu naturally didn't know about this matter, how could he admit it, and those people, although he didn't know him, were definitely ordered by people from Jiangnan, and he was aware of the mobilization of the guards.

Hearing what Luo Yunhou said now, it means that the matter is true, and the guards are the most suspicious. Although the key point is that they did a perfect job, but the interception failed in the end, it's just that the people behind the guards hid too deeply.

Hey.
Seeing Luo Yunhou looked over with an unfriendly expression, he denied it;
"Hou Ye Mingjian, the commander really doesn't know about this matter, but Hou Ye can call the guard generals of Jinling together for a trial tomorrow, so as to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and see if it is a bandit or someone really has ulterior motives. Today is too late Lord Hou is also tired from boating, so he should take a good rest."

Seeing Commander Gui repeatedly blocking her, Zhang Jinyu reminded herself to act quickly.

"No need. It is a great honor for me to share the concerns of the court and the emperor. Come and bring General Liu and his party here. The trial will begin now. Eunuch Zhao, what do you think?"

"What Hou Ye said is that the miscellaneous family is also loyal to the imperial court and the emperor. It's nothing to be tired. No matter how tired you are, you can't delay the important matter of the emperor."

Zhao Si also bowed his hands in the direction of West Beijing City while talking.

The two sang together there, and Gui Yifu was also embarrassed when he heard it.

"Then let's go to trial."

Gui Yifu had no choice but to agree.

Sure enough, it was Wei Jun and the others. This group of people failed to achieve success and failed, so why not finish what they did.

After a while,
The soldiers from the Pioneer Battalion of the Frontier Army outside the pass escorted them, and a group of people who had been brought along along the way came over. At this time, General Liu and several partial generals were still drunk, and the soldiers also drank a lot, but they were still a little sober.

And the city gate guard might have fallen asleep if he hadn't been dragged by someone.

Seeing this group of gangsters, even Gui Yifu's face darkened. Where did the soldiers come from? In such a special period, such a big incident happened, and they were still drunk. It's just a guess, I'm not afraid of not participating in it.

"Hi, why did you tie up this general and still not let go of this general? Tell you that my general's in-laws are from the chief envoy's side. Hiccup, he and the Wang family are also good friends. If you know each other, let me go!"

Zhang Jinyu was also surprised to hear that, feeling that there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there are people who have no brains everywhere, and they don't know where the confidence comes from.

Looking at the group of people on the ground, I really couldn't arouse interest, so I waved my hand and said;
"Ningbian, let someone sober them up, it's not a trial."

"Yes, Lord Hou, come here, hang them all up,"

Ning Bian directly asked his subordinates to hang all these people on the beams of the gate, and then poured cold water on their heads one by one.
"Ah Choo, what's the situation. Who watered me."

Seeing how dishonest General Liu Shou was, he had to be executed. Ning Bian waved his hand at the soldiers behind him. The soldiers behind him held a long whip, came to the front of the hanging man, and whipped it down severely.

"Crack, snap!"

One whip after another, the people around, especially Commander Gui, broke out in cold sweat, it was a real hit.

As soon as the first whip was whipped, the hanged person began to howl;
"Ah, it hurts me too."

"what."

But the guards did not intend to stop at all, and continued to whip their whips down. For a while, only the sound of the whip and the screams of Liu Shoujiang and his party echoed over the old palace.

And the pier,
Duan Hong, who brought people out, was still a little worried about the guard camp. He always felt that the captain was too calm, as if he knew he was coming. When he arrived at the market town, he took the people from the vanguard battalion and turned to the guard camp.

In the big camp of the guards, the deputy general who stayed behind led people to search the barracks, and the rest of the soldiers who stayed behind guarded the guards in the school grounds.

But Feng Yu, the school captain of the Wei Army, felt uneasy. Although he didn't know what happened, the panicked look on the deputy general's face when he left couldn't fool him.

Just when he was thinking about how to reply, Duan Hong brought people here,
"Where's the lieutenant general?"

"Back to General Duan. He is still leading people to inspect the barracks, but he hasn't come yet."

Mr. Qian from the school yard immediately stepped forward and replied.

Duan Hong glanced at Wei Jun sitting on the ground, and asked again;

"Have you found anything, or suspicious?"

"Yes, General Duan, I found a fighting ship at the pier. I was anxious to go ashore too late the night before, thinking that the ship belonged to the navy fleet, but it was not. Now my subordinates are watching over there."

Mr. Qian naturally felt something strange when he found the ship, and immediately sent people to block the ship, and only stayed for inspection later.

Duan Hong was startled, could it be those escaped ships, but they were not so fast, and there must be traces when they come back in a very short time.

"Quick, take me to see,"

"Yes, General Duan."

Duan Hong followed Mr. Qian to the innermost part of the Weijun Daying Wharf. There was a fighting ship parked at the corner. If you didn't look carefully, it was covered by the watchtower of the water village. It was parked secretly.

When I came to the ship, the deck was also stained with blood. Someone must have died here, and I didn’t go to the second floor. I walked along the deck and quickly walked through the corridor on the first floor. When I came to the stern, the sky was dark and I couldn’t see clearly.
"Come here, bring all the torches."

"Yes, General."

The guards with torches surrounded him and looked down. There was something vaguely there, but it was unclear. When Duan Hong saw it, he took a torch, looked at the location, and threw it down.

Following the falling light of the torch, in the middle of the stern, I saw an iron chain nailed to it. What kind of thing was that?

In addition to the fact that the iron chains were left on the ship, it was a little weird. Duan Hong took people back to the front deck and carefully looked at the blood on the ground. Although it was a bit scary, it was rare. The podium on the second floor of the building,

"Go, go up and have a look."

"Yes. General."

A few people went up to the second floor, and saw a lot of messy traces, opened the cabin door of the second floor, the inside was empty, it should have been cleaned, it seems that although this person left in a hurry, he was still very careful After dealing with it, I couldn't find any clues.

think of this,
Duan Hong hurriedly took people off the boat and went back to the school grounds of the Weijun camp.

"Captain Feng, come out and answer."

Seeing the unfriendly expression of the leading general, Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that it was the work of Commander Yan.

Feng Yu didn't dare to delay, stood up immediately, and replied;

"I've seen the general, and the humble job is Feng Yu."

Among the crowd on the ground, a somewhat upright man stood up, Duan Hong sized him up and asked calmly;

"There is a boat at the pier. Do you know who got off it? Think about your answer."

Feng Yu thought in his heart, that is indeed the case, looking at the general in front of him touching the handle of the knife with his right hand, he also knew that something big might happen, so he didn't dare to lie, so he replied;

"I know, General. This ship came here a few afternoons ago. The lieutenant is leading the ship. After getting off, we will not be allowed to approach. This ship is a towing ship used to pull stranded ships."

"Which lieutenant general, who is this person?"

Duan Hong then asked,

"Returning to the general, the deputy general of the camp is the left-behind general of the Jiangnan Guards. A few days ago, the deputy general took the order of the strict commander to mobilize all the guards and navy out of the camp. He has disappeared since then, and no one has returned to the camp."

"Come here, report this matter to Lord Hou quickly, you and the others will go in person."

"Yes, General."

Duan Hong didn't wait for Feng Yu to finish speaking, and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to send a letter to Lord Hou immediately, seeing that Feng Yu didn't understand why.

After the soldiers left, Duan Hong asked again;
"Those, where are the soldiers who got off the ship?"

Seeing the general with a bad face, Feng Xiaowei knew that things were a little out of order,

"What happened, General?"

Duan Hong looked at Captain Feng and asked again,

"You just say where it is, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood, it's in the last two rows."

Feng Yu pointed to the person sitting at the back.

Following Captain Feng's guidance, the faces of the two rows behind suddenly changed, and they were a little at a loss. Duan Hong immediately surrounded him.

"Take them all, those who dare to resist, kill!"

The nearly 300 guards were taken away without a single person resisting.

The rest of the people looked terrified, obviously knowing that their lives might be in danger, Feng Yu's expression also changed and changed, and finally sat down helplessly.

Jinling City,
On the grounds of the old palace school.

Zhang Jinyu looked at the bloody generals who were beaten there, and kept begging for mercy, almost,
"Stop, it's good if you can beg for mercy, it means you're sober, Commander Gui, let's go and interrogate together."

"it is good,"

Gui Yifu, whose face was pale, endured the discomfort and agreed.

When the two stepped forward, they saw General Liu Shou was sweating profusely, begging for mercy with his eyes wide open, it was very miserable.

"Quickly, how did you know that the court's southward navy was attacked to feed the fish?"

Zhang Jinyu stood in front and asked softly, with such a smile that everyone present felt terrified.

Liu Chang looked at the person in front of him and knew that he was an imperial envoy from the imperial court.

"Master Hou, Lord Hou, it was the last general who was fooled and offended you, so you will treat the last general as a fart and let the last general go."

"answer,"

"Yes, yes, the last general didn't know about this matter, but General Yan, the commander of the guard army, said it when he came to drink in the city. Naturally, he knew about it. There were also generals from the two armies at that time. That day, yes, that day It was the guards who wanted to transport some arrows to pass through the west gate, so they invited the last general and others to eat flower wine."

"Huh? Commander Yan, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

After Zhang Jinyu asked the question seriously in front, the name seemed familiar, but Commander Gui behind him had a cold face, knowing that what happened next might be true, and the guards had already had a different heart.
