high official

Chapter 831 Confrontation
Leading clouds hang low in Jinling City, and a storm is about to come, and the wind fills the building.

On the square in front of the Prince's Mansion, a long gate was erected. Inside and outside the gate, soldiers from Yingtian Mansion and Beizhen Fusi lined up in a strict line up. Three or four hundred soldiers wrapped their waists in iron locks and held wooden sticks. Strictly separate the Prince's Mansion behind him from the square in front of him.

On weekdays, the Prince's Mansion is undefended. Even in the coup last year, such a scene was never seen.So today, no matter how dull the common people are, they have already noticed that something big is going to happen here, and they all avoid it...

Without the constant stream of pedestrians and horses, the Daping in front of the East Palace looks very solemn and vast.

In front of the gate, Yin Tianfu Yin Lu Chongzhi looked at Wang Xian beside him with an uneasy expression on his face. He saw the governor of Jin Yi Wei resting his hand on the handle of his knife, looking indifferently at the empty square.

"Uncle, it's all over now, and there's no one left yet. Will they be scared away by our posture?" Yin Chongzhi endured and endured, and still said nonsense that he didn't believe.

"Hehe..." Wang Xian glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn't make a sound.He was really not interested in answering such stupid questions.

"Hehe, it's just wishful thinking..." Yin Chongzhi smiled awkwardly, and closed his mouth wisely.

"My lord," Deng Xiaoxian hurried over at this time, and whispered in Wang Xian's ear, "Brothers acted all night and tried their best, but they can only prevent half of the officials from coming."

"It's not bad." Wang Xian smiled, and said softly: "You can make more than 200 officials retreat overnight, and you are considered capable."

"Thank you for your compliment, Sir." Deng Xiaoxian was overjoyed, but then worried: "But there are still half of the people who stiffen their necks and insist on coming to petition."

"It's okay, okay." Standing behind Wang Xian, Erhei squinted his one-eyed eyes and said with a strange smile: "The imperial prison was vacated overnight, and two hundred people can still pretend to be there."

"Ah!" Lu Chongzhi, who was listening with pricked ears, was terrified and couldn't help crying out. "Uncle, think twice! This is hostile to all officials!"

"If Mr. Lu is afraid, you can avoid them before they come." Erhei beside him laughed and teased.

"I'm not afraid of being an official," Lu Chongzhi looked at the group of Qiu Ba, full of helplessness of "a scholar meets a soldier, and he can't explain why", and said with a depressed face: "I am thinking of my uncle! I can't be an enemy of all officials. Ah, uncle!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your kindness," Wang Xian said with a faint smile, "But sometimes, you have to do what you know you can't do." After a pause, he suddenly listened, and the smile on his face was completely suppressed. Even more chillingly said:

"They're here!"

Following Wang Xian's gaze, Lu Chongzhi and all the officials looked towards the street entrance, and after waiting for a few moments, they saw a large group of civil officials in various court uniforms appearing in front of everyone...

"I'm a good boy." Seeing so many officials in court uniforms, they came aggressively.Hundreds of hard-soled facing boots stepped on the official road paved with bluestone slabs, and they made a shocking rumbling sound-not to mention Lu Chongzhi, even Erhei and Deng Xiaoxian couldn't help it. Gasp. "What a big formation..."

"Ahem!" Wang Xian glared fiercely at the few unsatisfied guys, and everyone hurriedly cheered up and put on a fierce posture.

At this time, those officials had already arrived on the Daping, lined up in a long snake, and came straight to the gate.

"Stop, stop everyone!" Erhei took a step forward and stood in front of the officials. Although there were hundreds of soldiers and his own adults behind him, he still felt alone...just like in Zhenjiang City back then. , Hitting a stone with an egg, outnumbered.

Those officials stand still... they have to stop, or they will run into the fence.But all of them had dark faces, like creditors who came to collect debts collectively.

"You guys, cough cough..." Erhei cleared his throat, and was about to make some adjustments when he heard a fourth-rank official at the head start shouting:

"Bold, who dares to set up a security guard in front of the East Palace gate, has he ever consulted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"This..." Erhei was at a loss for words immediately, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Can you control it?"

All the civil servants laughed out loud, and when they finished laughing, the fourth-rank officials proudly raised their heads and said, "My official Zhan Shifu is the youngest Zhan Shiji Benqing, you think I can control it?!" As for the Prince's affairs, Ji Benqing, as the second in command of Zhan Shifu, naturally spoke with confidence.

But in fact, everyone present knows that, since Emperor Yongle wiped out all the officials in the East Palace on the pretext of missing the crown prince's arrival a few years ago, Qing Yishui is a close friend of the emperor and King of Han. , Zhao Wang's cronies, that is, there are no cronies of the prince.The prince and his Zhan Shifu have long been strangers, they are not on the same boat at all!

It's just that although this principle is simple, it cannot be clearly stated...

"We received an informant saying that someone is going to gather a crowd in front of the East Palace Gate to make trouble today." Erhei could only grunt and said, "For the safety of His Royal Highness, we have to bring Ying Tianfu to set up defenses here in case of accidents!"

"Where are people gathering crowds to make trouble?!" The civil servants looked at the two girls coldly: "You won't say that I'm waiting?"

"Who knows who it is!" Erhei snorted coldly.

"You dare to slander me and wait for all the officials!" This action was regarded as a public outrage, and all the officials were like a hornet who had been stabbed in their nest, and went to Erhei: "Hey, the emperor is on a northern tour, and the prince is in charge of the country. We will wait for the court." Commander, come here to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the way of court etiquette! How dare you slander us, you are gathering a crowd to make trouble!!"

"Hey, just wait, we will join hands to impeach you, you rabid dog barker!"

"That's right, no one can save you!" The spitting stars of all the officials were about to drown Erhei: "One-eyed dragon, wash your neck and wait to be slaughtered!"

Seeing that Er Hei was blocked, his eyes were wide open and his face was flushed, everyone behind him sighed secretly, thinking that this was normal, how could Old Hei, a martial artist, compare to the smooth talk of civil servants.

At this time, there was a sudden loud bang, which made all the civil servants dumbfounded. They followed the prestige in a daze, and saw Wang Xian, the governor of Jin Yi, who was dressed in a python robe and raised eyebrows, holding a beautiful short handle in his hand. Gun, especially a wisp of white smoke rising from the mouth of the gun...

"What are you yelling about?!" Wang Xian threw the musket to Zhou Yong who was beside him to reload, tilted his head slightly, and walked in front of the pale-faced officials.

In the eyes of all officials, this big spy chief is slanting at them and despising them!
At that moment, they seemed to see the demon Ji Gang reborn, and they couldn't help feeling chills at the back of their heads... After rubbing their eyes vigorously, they realized that it was not Ji Gang, but the young Wang Xian...

But the arrogance of the civil servants inevitably declined after all...

"Uncle, the lower officials are polite." These officials were only of the fourth rank, and they finally didn't dare to treat Wang Xian, the super-rank Earl and the leader of the Jinyiwei, like they did to Erhei.

"Hehe..." Wang Xian took the reloaded firecracker, played with it in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "What are you guys doing?"

"I'm going to pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Those civil servants couldn't help feeling frightened when they saw the firecracker dangling in his hand. "According to the regulations, during the emperor's tour, the prince Jian Guo should receive the courtiers on behalf of the emperor."

"You all want to see the prince?" Wang Xian swept the crowd with his hands with a smile, and all the officials backed away in fright, because he was still holding that damn musket in his hand!And it was loaded!
"Yes..." The civil servants replied tremblingly, but they stood firm and did not back down.Although all of them looked ashen, they all put on a posture of resigning to death.

"No!" Wang Xian straightened his face, raising the muzzle of the gun slightly by an inch.

"Why?" The civil servants were naturally dissatisfied in every possible way, and shouted loudly: "This is my duty, uncle has no right to stop it!"

"That's right, I have no right to stop it!" Some people were emboldened, and more people also shouted: "We want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

'Boom! ' There was another gunshot, and the crowd trembled in fright—they watched an official hat fly into the sky in response!
The civil servant who was shot in the officer's hat, his knees went limp, and he knelt on the ground covering the top of his head, his teeth chattering and he couldn't speak...

'If this is any lower, he will be fired! 'The officials couldn't help gasping.

'If this is any lower, he will be fired! Lu Chongzhi and Wang Xian's subordinates were also stunned, and the former even called Wang Xian a "lunatic" in his heart!
'If this is any lower, he will be fired! 'Even Wang Xian was stunned... God pity, his shot just now actually went off...

"******! What are you yelling about?!" Of course, Wang Xian would never admit such an embarrassing thing. He stared wide-eyed and yelled at the frightened civil servants: "Lao Tzu Did you say that you will not be allowed to meet the prince?!"

.

"..." In front of the Prince's Mansion, there was a long silence before the official said cautiously: "Then please remove the troops, uncle, let us go in..."

"So many people go in together, what's it like?!" Wang Xian snorted coldly and said, "I know it's to meet the prince, but I don't know that I thought you were going to the fair!"

"Then..." All the officials trembled in fright when they saw that Wang Xian's firecracker had been filled with bullets again.

"Register, see each one!" Wang Xian rolled his eyes, and the clerk next to him set up a table with pen and ink books on it.

"This..." All the civil servants looked at each other in blank dismay, asking each other what's going on with their eyes, will they do it?
Let’s do it, wouldn’t it violate the original intention of the petition?Moreover, when everyone came to petition together, they already had the careful thought that the law does not blame the public. Isn't it the rhythm of being settled by the autumn queen after signing one by one?
But if you don't do it, how can you deal with this king of hell Wang Xian? !
