King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 251 Ning Rong Street

Just as Zhu Jinghong was bored waiting for the news, he saw thousands of households rushing towards him, their expressions were full of anxiety.

Before the other party spoke, Zhu Jinghong could roughly guess that there must be bad news.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Liang questioned in his tone, obviously he also guessed that the situation was not good.

"My lord, the traitor from Liushu Lane in Beicheng actually dug a secret passage in his house, fled to the periphery, wounded the sergeant and ran away!"

"Right now Jin Yiwei and our people are searching and arresting, and found a lot of letters in the residence of the traitor, so we know that this person is a incense master!"

The two incense masters have been found before, and this person is obviously not expected at the moment, otherwise the arrest will definitely increase the vigilance.

"The criminal has escaped?" Qiu Liang asked in a deep voice.

Deputy Qianhu who came to complain replied: "The people of Jin Yiwei are chasing him, but there is no news yet!"

Glancing at Zhu Jinghong who was on the main seat, seeing that he showed no signs of getting angry, Qiu Liang was much relieved.

"Are you guys living for nothing? Hurry up and hunt them down, I won't let you offender if you run away!"

Qiu Liang, a rich man, got angry, and he was full of deterrent force at this moment, which made this pair of thousands of households tremble and dare not say more.

"Yes!"

"Master Thirteen, if your subordinates are not effective, I will punish you severely!"

At this time, it is better to take the initiative to admit the mistake and pursue it than Zhu Jinghong to ask. Qiu Liang can be said to be well versed in the way of being an official.

"Don't worry, aren't you hunting, this person may not be able to escape!"

However, after hearing this, Qiu Liang became nervous instead.

Because this means that if the person runs away in a while, Zhu Jinghong may still pursue the matter.

When Qiu Liang was worried, Zhu Jinghong had already picked up the folded-brimmed felt hat on the case, put it on his head, got up from the chair, and walked to the center of the hall.

This movement of his made others uneasy, for example, Qiu Liang followed him with his waist hooked.

Outside the lobby, there are two commanders waiting here, as well as several commanders and fellow commanders.

These people are all powerful military officers in Beijing, and they are the focus of people wherever they go, but at this moment they are like green leaves.

Today, Zhu Jinghong is wearing a bullfighting suit with bracers on his wrists, which makes him look extraordinarily capable.

When he walked out of the lobby, the sun had already risen, and the sun was shining on his body, making people feel warm.

Standing on the steps outside the lobby, Zhu Jinghong glanced at the crowd below, and said slowly: "Today, the Ningshou Palace gave a banquet, and my father is still waiting for me to bring back the good news. If someone escapes today... what should I do?"

"Don't wait here, go down and urge your subordinates to cooperate with Jin Yiwei in arresting him!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong looked at Qiu Liang and asked, "Qiu knows, right?"

Ask Qiu Liang out of respect for him. After all, he is the chief officer of this place, and it is his business to assign tasks.

Face is given to each other, only Qiu Liang replied: "What Master Thirteen said is right!"

"Let's all go back separately, and urge your subordinates to be on strict alert, in case the rebels jump over the wall in a hurry and cause trouble in advance!"

"Yes!"

After everyone answered, they left. They were in charge of security in different areas of the capital. It was time to return to the command post at this time.

Since the arrest operation has already started, there is no such thing as a surprise attack, so all departments of the Bingma Division can move.

"Master Thirteen, if someone escapes, the Holy One...I'm afraid..."

Hearing Qiu Liang's words, Zhu Jinghong patted him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Qiu knows that you are my father's favorite general, so you are still worried about this?"

"Master Thirteen, if you can't handle the task appointed by the Holy Majesty, how can you have the face to call your Majesty's favorite general!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled even more: "If you think so, you will live up to the grace of the Holy Majesty!"

Zhu Jinghong's warning just now was actually for the people below, because the honor and disgrace of people like Qiu Liang are completely in the emperor's mind.

He doesn't need to be very capable at all, and he only uses the word "loyalty" in this position. As long as Qiu Liang is loyal to the emperor, then his position as a commanding officer will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"If something slips through the net today, Bing Masi will try his best to remedy it, and nothing will happen tomorrow!"

Qiu Liang became more respectful and said: "I understand this point, and I also ask the Thirteenth Master to inform the Yiwei Division and send additional troops from the Beijing camp to garrison the city!"

Zhu Jinghong nodded and said, "I will report this matter to the emperor!"

Matters like military power are very sensitive, even if Zhu Jinghong has a reckless personality, he would not dare to make taboos on such matters.

Afterwards, the two chatted, what was a big deal to the people below was nothing to the two of them.

About ten minutes later, another hundred households rushed in, and it seemed that there was something new to report.

"Reporting to the Thirteenth Lord, you all know that my lord... the escaped traitor has fled to Ningrong Street..."

"Ningrong Street?" Hearing this name, Zhu Jinghong felt a little familiar.

"Idiot, how did you let them escape there?" Qiu Liang yelled loudly.

Ning Rong Street and its surrounding streets are where high-end martial arts mansions gather. If criminals make troubles in these places, it will be a big trouble.

However, at the next moment, another hundred households rushed over, and said in a panic, "Report to the Thirteenth Lord, the suspect has sneaked into the Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Qianhu has led troops to surround the Rongguo Mansion!"

Hearing that it was the Rongguo Mansion, Qiu Liang heaved a sigh of relief. After all, these two families had lost power in the court, and even if something happened, they couldn't trouble him.

But at this moment, Zhu Jinghong's expression turned serious.

"Go... go and have a look!"

"Master Thirteen, the thief has been besieged, and it is impossible to escape now, why should you condescend yourself..."

"Qiu knows that tomorrow is the Supreme Emperor's birthday, the relationship between Jia's family and the Supreme Emperor, you must also know..."

"If they make a mistake, I'm afraid that the Holy Majesty's face will be disgraced, and even I will be scolded and punished!"

Hearing this, Qiu Liang's expression was even more solemn, and then he replied: "Yes!"

"Let's go... let's go and see!"

Zhu Jinghong was escorted by 200 standard-bearers and guards when he went to Wucheng Bingmasi. At this moment, Qiu Liang sent another [-] people. Along the way, there were soldiers who cleared the field ahead of time. They moved forward unimpeded along the way.

About half an hour later, they and their party appeared on Ningrong Street, during which time they received three reports.

According to the latest situation, five thieves sneaked into the Rongguo Mansion, killed six maidservants, and kidnapped two brothers Jia She and She at the same time.

The reason why they can be found accurately is because the two brothers were discussing matters, and they were found by the thieves who tied them up.

Now these people are hiding in Rongxi Hall, surrounded by people from Jinyiwei and Bingmasi.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was sitting in the sedan chair, outside were Qiu Liang, Li Wenzhao, and other military officers from the Bingma Division.

"Master Thirteen, I'm afraid I will report this matter to the Holy One!" Qiu Liang made a suggestion.

Zhu Jinghong's tone was not kind, and he said in a deep voice, "How can I report to the Holy One after the errand has been done like this?"

Stepping out of the sedan chair, Zhu Jinghong glanced to the left and right, and everyone lowered their heads.

"Do you want to leave the problem to the Holy One?"

Of course, the problem cannot be left to the emperor, so the cause and effect can only be reported together after the matter has been dealt with.

Outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, it has been surrounded by the third floor and the outer three floors of the sergeant, and martial law has been imposed within a radius of one mile.

Walking to the steps outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but feel extremely absurd when he glanced at the plaque on the top that said "Emperor made Rongguo Mansion".

He never thought that his first visit to Rongguo Mansion would be like this.
