Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 319
"Report, General, all detainees are here."

The lieutenant general of the forbidden army led the people, and came out last, then locked the door of the dungeon, and reported to General Tang sitting outside the door.

Tang Zheng naturally saw it, and when he saw that everyone had come out, he didn't hesitate anymore. Although it was not yet noon, there were too many people, and it was too late, so he ordered;
"Okay, gather the troops and take the prisoner to the execution ground immediately without delay."

"Yes, General, come and blow the horn."

Following the deputy general's words, a melancholy horn sounded over the old palace. When the prisoners in the schoolyard heard the sound, they all became uneasy. However, as soon as there was some commotion, they were immediately suppressed by the imperial guards around them.

"Open the gate, clear the way, and go."

Tang Zheng, the commander of the imperial army, didn't care what those people thought, he just asked the imperial army to open the gate of the old palace, and then Tengxiang defended the imperial army with 4000 troops and started to escort them out.

Heading straight for the Qinhuai River, Li Dong, the leader of the secret guard who was watching on the wall, also turned over and fell off the wall, and returned to the Qinhuai River by a super-shortcut.

The water around Jinling is as tender as water. With the opening of the market in the city, it is even more lively, and the crowds from south to north are even more bustling.

Now the local people in Jinling City had woken up early and saw a large number of people from the Forbidden Army escorting the crowd.

Such a scene is rare and tight. Onlookers along the way saw that there were not even a few gangsters in Jiangnan, which had been at peace for a long time. No one had been executed for many years, and so many people didn't know what happened this time.

There was a lot of discussion around there, and when there were more people, it seemed that there were fewer people in the forbidden army, but Tang Zheng, the commander of the Tengxiang Guard, looked a little nervous, even though there were no other troops stationed in Jinling, but other forces were not guaranteed, and there were still people who slipped through the net. Zhiyu, when the house was ransacked day and night, many guards resisted stubbornly, and many brothers died.

"Lieutenant General, you go to the team and take your brothers to watch at the end, and you must not make any mistakes."

"Yes, Commander, the last general will go here."

The deputy general looked at the people around him, and agreed nervously, and then led his soldiers to the back of the line, Tang Zheng felt relieved.

Soon, the escort team came to the bank of the Qinhuai River. General Tang walked in the front of the team and looked ahead as he rode on his horse.

As if they had made an appointment, there were crowds on the east bank and those on the brothel, not to mention the people watching on the street.

"Why are there so many people?"

Mr. Yingqian in front saw that something was wrong, and ran over sweating profusely.

"Commander, for some reason, there are more people all of a sudden, it seems that they all come to watch."

Hearing Mr. Yingqian's words, Tang Zheng hesitated a bit, but when he thought of Master Hou's explanation, and Eunuch Zhao's meaningful eyes, Tang Zheng also felt ruthless, and ordered;
"Clear the scene, guard, press all the prisoners over, verify their integrity, and kill them in batches. Anyone who dares to stop them will be guilty of the same crime and beheaded."

"Yes, Commander."

After finishing speaking, a large number of imperial guards began to separate the guards, and then separated the crowd, and then let the escort team go in. The deputy general opened the roster and began to roll the names, and those who were counted were pulled directly to the river.

The secret sentries of the East Prince's Mansion all around were trying to observe the people in the escorting crowd, trying to find Yan Cong's family members, they searched back and forth several times, but found nothing, even Yang Cheng didn't see who was wrong, and for a while his forehead was slender. Sweaty.

Seeing that the first group of people had already been called, and were dragged to the shore by the swords and axes of the imperial army, they were about to do it. Without hesitation, they said to their confidantes,

"Go, tell the brothers and prepare to take action."

"Yes, Commander."

Yang Cheng had no choice but to prepare to attack in advance, and the deputy general shouted loudly when he saw the brothers of the imperial army who had already prepared in the execution ground;
"These are all family members who conspired against each other, beheaded and executed immediately after verification of integrity."

Immediately, the forbidden soldiers behind them removed the hoods of the first group of people kneeling on the ground, and the forbidden soldiers on both sides left quickly, and then quickly swung their knives. In the blink of an eye, the heads fell to the ground, and the surrounding area was silent.

"what"

"what"

Many brothel girls were frightened and yelled when they saw it, and the people watching were also in a commotion. Some even vomited on the spot, and the crowd was a little panicked. At this moment, the sound of whistles all around them suddenly came to mind.

The secret guards of the East Prince's Mansion hidden in the crowd glanced at each other, and immediately drew out their short blades and stabbed them directly in the necks of the guards in front of them. Many guards were killed directly.

A cry came from the crowd,
"The imperial army has killed people, run away."

At this time, the panicked crowd saw that some of the imperial guards had also fallen to the ground and died, so they shouted and ran around, and the people who were watching suddenly became chaotic, crowding and shouting and running around, in a state of chaos.

The secret guards took this opportunity to kill in.

Tang Zheng saw clearly from the outside that he dared to rob the execution ground, he was startled and angry, and said urgently,

"Quick, go over to support, kill anyone who dares to rush into the military formation."

"Yes, General."

Immediately, a large number of forbidden soldiers drew their knives and rushed in. As long as they entered the warning line, no matter who they were, they would be killed directly.

The messy scene also stunned the dignitaries of Yunliang Pavilion and the disciples of the academy, especially Gong Huaiyu, who was still having breakfast, almost vomited after seeing the bloody scene before. It occurred to me that someone dared to rob the court again, and had already entered it.

Seeing the skillful cooperation, a large number of people rushed in, and thought to himself, who is so bold with such a big hand.

"Nansheng, can you tell who did it?"

On the opposite side, Nan Sheng, the vice-commander of the Yingwei of the West Prince's Mansion, turned his head to look at the past. His skills were impressive and his cooperation was skillful. He must be an elite army.

"Returning to the son, my subordinates are not sure. According to the report from the spies, the guards in the south of the Yangtze River are almost strictly private soldiers. They fought with the forbidden army that night when they ransacked the house. Many people died. The execution of the family members of the General of the Guards, the subordinates think it may be the remnants of the Guards.”

Gong Huaiyu didn't make a sound for a while, just looked at the opposite side quietly, shouts of killing and screams were intertwined, those people actually suppressed the imperial army, which is rare.

"Commander Nan, you guessed wrong. If the guards can fight like this, they won't have their homes confiscated. Look at the people who robbed the law field. Do their methods look familiar?"

Nan Sheng immediately looked over, and sure enough, these people who robbed the Dharma Field were clean and agile, and the cooperation between the small group of people was flawless. Who is it? Could it be the secret guard of the East Palace.

"My lord, those people are very skilled, they cooperate quite tacitly, and the weapons are all specially made. If my subordinate guessed correctly, the one who can teach these people is the secret guard of the East Prince's Mansion."

"Well, then it's almost inseparable, but who is the East Prince's Mansion going to save?"

The two of them were still guessing who could trouble the secret guards to rescue them. Could there be someone special among those family members? Suddenly, they thought of the commander of the guard army and said at the same time;

"Family of Guard Commander Yan Cong."

Yangzhou,

The backyard of the Yanzheng Yamen,

Zhang Jinyu couldn't decide what to do with Master Lin's concubine, so she had to be escorted into the main house. Eunuch Zhao was also angry and helpless.

"Let's go in, Benhou reckons Master Lin should wake up too."

"Well, listen to Lord Hou."

Lin Daiyu nodded behind her, with a sad face, her melon-like face was as white as jade, and she was dressed in green clothes. She looked like a Taoist who came down to earth, Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but take a second look.

A group of people entered the main room, bypassed the barriers, and saw Gu Yunshi packing silver needles in front of the bed, while Lin Ruhai was leaning on the head of the bed with a pillow, and looked over weakly when he saw everyone coming here.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai had woken up, Lin Daiyu stepped forward excitedly and called out to her father, then threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms, sobbing.

Lin Ruhai also seemed to be in another world, just hugging his beloved daughter with a sad expression on his face.

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw Lin Ruhai's expression of licking the calf. She bowed and said,

"Master Lin, are you feeling better?"

Lin Ruhai looked up and asked suspiciously,

"Dare to ask, who is the young master?"

Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao, was also a little anxious, interjecting,
"Lord Lin, the miscellaneous family is Zhao Si, who is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the capital. This is Zhang Jinyu, Marquis of Luoyun, an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Don't worry, Master Lin, the miscellaneous family and Lord Hou will surely make them die badly."

Lin Ruhai stood up and wanted to meet him, and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering Yu Chen and paying homage to the imperial envoy. Ahem."

How could Zhang Jinyu get him up, and said anxiously,

"Master Lin, don't look outside, just lean on and rest for a while, by the way, Yun Shi, how is Master Lin's condition?"

As soon as Zhang Jinyu came in, he talked with Lin Ruhai, but forgot to ask Gu Yunshi how Master Lin was doing.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunshi looked distressed, hesitant to speak, Zhang Jinyu and Zhao Si thumped in their hearts,
"But, come and tell me."

Gu Yunshi nodded, got up and wanted to follow Master Hou to the outside room, Lin Ruhai saw it and shouted,
"Master Hou, Lord Hou, don't go out yet, just say here, I know my body, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Daddy, you'll be fine,"

Lin Daiyu next to her couldn't help crying when she heard her father's words. Lin Ruhai stroked her daughter's bun and comforted her,
"Stupid girl, don't worry, I'll make arrangements for you before leaving, you're fine now, ahem!"

Lin Daiyu cried even harder after hearing this.

Zhang Jinyu was also helpless, so he had no choice but to play tricks on Gu Yunshi. Who knew that this kid was stubborn and said in front of everyone,

"Go back to the Marquis, Grand Eunuch, Master Lin. Master Lin is deeply poisoned and there is no medicine or food to save him. It's just these days. The only thing I can do is give him injections every day to keep Master Lin awake, and the rest is useless."

"what!"

Zhang Jinyu and Zhao Si were shocked when they heard this, but Lin Ruhai didn't care.

"Okay, it'll be good if you can wake up. The Marquis will bother you to stay for the next few days. Grand Eunuch, for the sake of your close relatives working hard for the court and the emperor, please help me. How is Min'er?"

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad. Lin Ruhai now has the intention of asking for help.

Zhang Jinyu and Eunuch Zhao also agreed in unison,
"Lord Lin, don't worry, the miscellaneous family will definitely take care of it to the end,"

Zhao Si's eyes turned red, Zhang Jinyu also felt uncomfortable,

"Mr. Lin, your family affairs are my family affairs,"

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Wang who was outside the next door couldn't bear it any longer. She was still thinking about Jia Min, so she shouted,

"Master, you are still thinking about that bitch at this time, what about me?"
