Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 402 We are all equal

Outside the gate of the mansion, the guard who was standing quietly in front of the mansion heard Huang Sheng's shouts in the mansion and knew that something had changed. He immediately drew his sword and pointed at Xu Zanhou and others outside the door, who had already hidden Ye Xing in the mansion. Wei also rushed out.

"Get out!"

Xu Zanhou's expression suddenly changed, he roared, then turned around and ran towards the military camp. The others reacted immediately when they saw this and ran towards the military camp after him.

However, before they could run very far, they discovered that many night guards with weapons appeared in front of them.

"Take them down and don't let any of them go!" Xie Feihu raised his knife and pointed at Xu Zanhou and others.

Xu Zanhou's face turned pale. Now there were pursuers behind him and Xie Feihu leading his men to block the tiger in front. They had no way to escape.

Seeing that Xie Feihu and the guards behind him were about to surround them, Xu Zanhou suddenly stopped in his tracks, then turned and rushed to the house on the side. He pushed on the wall and jumped onto the roof.

Xie Feihu's expression changed, and he was immediately angry: "Fuck, I'm most annoyed by these people who come to the house at every turn!"

With that said, he drew out his crossbow and shot an arrow at Xu Zanhou.

Chen Su asked a night guard.

"Follow me immediately!" Chen Su waved his hand.

Xie Feihu ordered a few people and chased Xu Zanhou away. The remaining people surrounded the other generals. These generals were not as skilled as Xu Zanhou. It would take time to get into the house. These night guards would not give them a chance.

Li Wei walked out of the room quickly, staring at the generals who died tragically on the spot with cold eyes. Time has changed, and he is no longer the same person as before.

Xu Zanhou was obviously very skilled. He jumped on the roof and moved around, easily dodging his arrow.

Xie Feihu threw away his crossbow in annoyance. This time when they sneaked into the city, they did not dare to carry a fire blunderbuss for concealment. The crossbows in their hands were found in the Marquis's mansion. If they were fire blunderbuss, Xu Zanhou would never be able to do so easily. Dodge.

Chen Su shook off the blood on the knife and bowed to Li Wei.

Chen Su's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and Li Wei, who followed closely behind, also felt his heart sink.

In the mansion, Chen Su shot Huang Sheng with an arrow and quickly rushed in front of him, using his knife to hit his vital point. Huang Sheng, who had just been hit by an arrow, was killed by a knife before he could react.

"Wait!" Li Wei suddenly called out to him, "There are a few horses in the mansion. Bring a few people with me to intercept him on the way to the military camp!"

"A guy jumped on the roof and ran away. Mr. Xie led people to chase him."

"You guys chase me, the others stay and get rid of these people!"

"Yes!" Chen Su responded, and took the lead to rush out with others.

"Master, it's solved!"

"Where's Xie Feihu?"

Due to the absolute disparity in numbers, these generals were quickly killed with almost no room to fight back.

After a while, Li Wei and Chen Su rushed out of the Hou Mansion on horseback with several people.

Chen Su paused and nodded: "Okay!"

On the street leading to the military camp, Xu Zanhou ran wildly in front. Behind him, Xie Feihu led dozens of people to chase him. The people on the roadside panicked and fled.

The guards at each gate cooperated with the night guards and quickly captured the remaining generals. When Chen Su and Li Wei arrived here, the battle was basically over.

"Well, come with me to support Xie Feihu and the others!" Li Wei glanced at them casually and then ordered eagerly.

Xie Feihu took the time to shoot with his crossbow while chasing, forcing Xu Zanhou to dodge and slow down his speed.

Xu Zanhou looked anxious, and the people behind him were ruthless. Although he didn't know who these people were, he knew that something big must have happened in the Hou Mansion, and he had to return to the camp to report the news.

The military camp was less than three miles away, and running at full speed at his speed would only take him less than a quarter of an hour. Seeing that the distance was already over halfway, and the people behind him probably wouldn't be able to catch up before he reached the military camp, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, several war horses suddenly rushed out from the intersection ahead and blocked the way.

Xu Zanhou watched in shock as Chen Su, who was riding on a war horse, also took out a crossbow and aimed it at him. He had to stop forcibly, dodge and rush to the side.

"Whoosh..."

Xu Zanhou, who was lucky enough to escape an arrow, looked at the crossbow arrow inserted in the position where he was just now, and his mood sank to the bottom.

In just a moment, Xie Feihu and his men had already chased him and surrounded him again.

Just now Xie Feihu was unprepared and was let into his room to escape. This time he would not give him another chance. Night guards were surrounding him including the roadside.

"Who are you?" Xu Zanhou asked, staring at Chen Su.

Chen Su looked at him coldly, snorted lightly, and said nothing, but Li Wei who appeared behind him explained everything.

"You...why are you here?" When Xu Zanhou saw Li Wei, he was suddenly shocked and inexplicable.

The people on both sides who were hiding in doors, windows or on street corners to watch the excitement started talking about Li Wei. Li Wei had been in Yangzhou for a long time, and many of these people knew him.

Li Wei looked at Xu Zanhou coldly, without saying anything, he waved his hand and said: "Take him down!"

Xie Feihu immediately led people to rush forward.

Xu Zanhou was so anxious that he shouted: "Consort Li, are you going to rebel?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone and the people in the field fell silent.

Rebellion is a serious crime, and even if the prince-in-law commits such a crime, there will be no forgiveness.

Li Wei's mouth moved slightly. What he was most worried about had happened. Now in public, Xu Zanhou had some skills. It was basically impossible to kill him before he opened his mouth.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Chen Su shouted loudly: "Nonsense! How could the prince-in-law rebel? It's clearly you, a thief who assassinated the prince-in-law, and you want to frame him back!"

"I am the commander under Marquis Wu Ding. I was stationed in Yangzhou under the emperor's orders to imprison the concubine Li Wei, and he was not allowed to leave the house. Now that he has openly appeared in the city, he is clearly disobeying the holy order! Now he is robbing and killing me. It is obviously Intent to rebel!"

Xu Zanhou continued to yell loudly and briefly explained the whole story, which was obviously more credible than Chen Su's hastily made-up excuse.

Li Wei's face was extremely ugly. The matter was now beyond control. Now he could only kill him by force, then lead the night guards to cooperate with Chen Shan's people to quickly control the military camp, and then immediately seal the city. The news could be blocked for one more day. One day, as long as the overseas troops and guards arrive, he will be able to protect himself.

Seeing Li Wei's silence, Xu Zanhou suddenly felt reassured and shouted to him: "Prince-in-law, I advise you to stop and go back to your house to live in seclusion. Your Majesty may still consider it for the sake of the princess." Go online and have fun!”

"Hmph!" Li Wei snorted coldly and ordered to take him down first.

However, at this moment, someone among the people hiding on the street suddenly shouted: "You are talking nonsense, the prince-in-law is a good person!"

Li Wei and Xu Zan were both stunned and looked at the source of the sound in surprise.

It was an ordinary citizen wearing commoners, half of his body exposed from the corner, looking over here.

Li Wei looked at him and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this was Yang Laosan who used to sell land.

Seeing Li Wei looking over, Yang Laosan plucked up the courage and walked out from the corner. He first bowed to him and saluted, and then continued:

"If the prince-in-law hadn't punished the corrupt officials and the bullies in the in-law family, I would still be living a miserable life without enough food and clothing. I think many of you are like this too. Since the prince-in-law built the new city, whether we were opening up wasteland or selling land, He still works part-time, earns food and clothing, and even has enough money to improve his life. How could such a good consort put him under house arrest? How could it be possible that he is rebelling? "

Yang Laosan used to live in poverty and did not even have a complete piece of linen clothes, but now he has changed into cotton clothes, and his living standard has improved by more than one level.

"That's right, the Prince Consort is a good man!"

"We believe the prince-in-law! Whatever the prince-in-law says is whatever he says!"

"If such a good consort has to be placed under house arrest, then he must not be a good emperor!"

With those taking the lead, many people also followed suit.

They have personal experience of what Li Wei did, and coupled with the publicity from Xie Feihu and others in the past few days, many people have a better understanding of the good things this prince-in-law has brought to them.

What kind of life they lived before, and what kind of life they lived after Li Wei came here, the contrast is too obvious!

Xu Zanhou listened to the words of these people. They kept praising Li Wei, and there were even some disobedient words among them. Suddenly, a turmoil arose in his heart!

When did the people of Yangzhou become like this? Is this still the city of Ming Dynasty?
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he was not in the Ming Dynasty, but as if he was in an enemy country and was alone and helpless.

Chen Su and Xie Feihu were both pleasantly surprised. He never expected that things would turn around in this situation.

Li Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

"Master, the people's support can be used!" Chen Su said in a low voice beside Li Wei.

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and said: "It is not enough to have the people's heart, you must also have the military's heart!"

Chen Su said in a deep voice: "The people's sentiments are as strong as those of the military. As long as you give an order from the Lord, I will lead the night guards to forcibly control the military camp. With the cooperation of Chen Shan and the others, I believe it will not be difficult!"

"We'll talk about this later."

Li Wei waved his hand, then clapped his horse and came to Xu Zanhou. He chuckled and said, "What else do you have to say? Just shout."

Xu Zanhou's lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Wei waved his hand: "Take him down!"

"Yes!"

Xie Feihu led people forward and took Xu Zanhou into custody.

Since his words are no longer threatening, there is no need to rush to kill and silence him.

Seeing that the fighting was over, the people came out and stood on the street.

Li Wei led Chen Su, Xie Feihu and other night guards, walking slowly past like victorious generals.

"Thank you!" Passing by Yang Laosan, Li Wei looked at him and thanked him.

Yang Laosan was stunned for a moment. He was excited for a moment and said incoherently: "Prince-in-law... I am the one who should thank you. I am the one who should kowtow to you!"

Saying that, Yang Laosan was about to kneel down and worship. Li Wei quickly dismounted, stepped forward to help him up in person, and said softly:

"Don't kneel to me, we are all equal!"

"Thank you, Prince Consort!" Yang Laosan stood up, tears filling his eyes with excitement.

Other people were also in a state of excitement and shouted loudly.
