The Most Powerful Man in the World

He stretched out his hand and swept Wu Meng up with a strong force. Wu Meng was also a master at the level of a great master. How could he not feel that the cultivation base revealed by Chu Yi's brush was like a bottomless abyss? Generally unfathomable.

His heart became more and more horrified, and his face became more and more respectful, and he bowed his head and stood in front of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked at Wu Meng and said, "Commander Wu, what is going on in Jiaxing City? I expect there will be a commander in town, and the city should be worry-free."

There was a bit of hesitation and struggle on Wu Meng's face, but he suddenly bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Please also ask the prince to do justice for our lieutenant generals, otherwise there will be troubles among the last generals..."

Squinting his eyes, Chu Yi couldn't help showing a bit of surprise. Wu Meng was definitely a good general. At least in Chu Yi's view, among the hundreds of thousands of banned troops, there was very little of the banned army that could compete with Wu Meng. The men and horses under him are comparable.

Although prohibition seems to be simple, it is not so easy to do it. Anyone who can do this may not become a famous general, but there is no problem in being a good general.

And Wu Meng just had the resources to be a good general. Seeing Wu Meng's angry look at this moment, Chu Yi nodded slowly and said, "If you have something to say, Commander Wu may just say it bluntly."

Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi on the side also looked at Wu Meng curiously.It is obviously not nonsense to be able to let a general like Wu Meng say that there may be trouble in his army.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Meng explained in detail how the general magistrate Chen Zu was greedy for money and how he angered the lieutenant generals.

Listening to Wu Meng's remarks, Chu Yi's expression did not change, but Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi and others on the side showed stunned expressions, obviously not expecting that there are such people who are greedy for money in this world.

If he really doesn't even want his life, he also wants money, so Chen Zu is really not afraid that he will greedy the promised rewards and make the army lose heart and the city will be destroyed?

"Wonderful, really weird, there are still people who are so greedy for money in this world?"

Yang Zhi looked surprised and contemptuous.

Lu Junyi slowly shook his head and said, "It's rare in the world to be so greedy."

Even Hua Rong and Xu Ning all sighed.

Wu Meng bowed his head and said, "Please also ask the king of the county to do justice for our soldiers."

Whenever possible, Wu Meng would never bow his head to a servant, but Wu Meng had no other way. The backer behind Chen Zu was the traitor Cai Jing, who was a mere commander. Cai Jing said a word. can decide his life.

That is to say, relying on his words alone, don't even think about getting the compensation money for those who died in battle. As a good general, Wu Meng feels guilty in his heart, not to mention the situation in the army is already very bad. He was so nervous that he could suppress it for a while, but he couldn't suppress it for a lifetime. Maybe it would break out at some point. When that time came, his commander might not escape death.

As long as he can get the compensation for his soldiers, even if he bows his head to Chu Yi, no matter how unbearable Chu Yi is, can he still compare to Chen Zu and Cai Jing?

While the rebels outside the city were being chased around by the vanguard army under Chu Yi, Chen Zu in Jiaxing City also got news,

The changes outside the city naturally could not escape the attention of Chen Zu. After all, this was a major matter related to his own life and death. Chen Zu dispatched most of the servants in the house to keep an eye on the movement outside the city.

In addition, Wu Meng led the troops in the city out of Jiaxing City. It can be said that half of Jiaxing City noticed it. If Chen Zu did not return the news, then he would not be able to sit firmly in the seat of Jiaxing County Magistrate.

At this moment in the county office, Chen Zu looked at his subordinate, Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan was Chen Zu's clan younger brother and could be said to be Chen Zu's confidant, while Chen Xuan was in charge of the army and horse in the county and was Chen Zu's minion.

Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zu and said, "Brother, the origin of the officers and troops outside the city is already clear. It is the King of Guangyang County who lost his holy favor, the owner of the East Factory, Chu Yi."

Chen Zu narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Chu Yi, the king of Guangyang County, turned out to be him."

I could hear that there was no respect in the words of Chen Zu, but rather a bit of disdain and contempt. As a scholar, it was not unusual for him to look down on Chu Yi, who was a servant, not to mention that he was Cai Jing. It is a well-known thing that Cai Jing and Chu Yi do not deal with each other, so Chen Zu has no good feelings for Chu Yi.

Taking a look at the follow-up, Chen Zu glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Then what happened to Wu Meng, he is so courageous, who gave him the courage to dare to leave the city, if he loses Jiaxing City, he will If there are a few heads that can be chopped off, send an order to the county to get him back to Jiaxing City, without the order of the county, no soldier is allowed to leave Jiaxing City for half a step."

You must know that Wu Meng's rank does not need Chen Zu to be low, the two are not under each other's literary and military affairs, but Chen Zu's tone is clear that he is generally unceremonious as Wu Meng's boss.

In other eras, it would definitely make people feel very strange, but in the Song Dynasty, it was normal for civil officials to call and drink to military generals. It's weird.

Chen Xuan suddenly said: "Brother, what should the imperial army outside the city do, if they want to enter the city..."

Chen Zu said without hesitation: "Close the city gate, and do not allow one soldier to enter the city. Tell that Chu Yi and say that I do not welcome him in Jiaxing City."

As the head of a county, if he refused to open the city, to be honest, the army outside the city really had no reason to enter the city, otherwise, it would be an act of treason.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Zu is so hard-hearted, but under normal circumstances, although he is a magistrate, he rarely goes to offend a general who has just cleared his siege so unceremoniously, and even brings him with him. Grab and eat food and go out of the city to reward a soldier.

Obviously, it is impossible for Chen Zu to send food and grass to Chu Yi.

When the calm outside the city gradually calmed down, those who fled from the rebel army, those who were killed were killed, and those who were captured were captured, but the calm was restored. It was Chen Xuan.

In a temporary camp, Chu Yi was preparing to send people into the city to prepare food and water. After all, the food and grass they carried could last a few days, but the water was more important than the food and grass. It is good to have the supply in the city.

During the discussion, the voice of Xu Ning, who was in charge of patrolling the camp, came from outside the account and said, "Your Majesty, the last commander, Xu Ning, asks to see you."

With the permission of Chu Yi, Xu Ning walked into the tent in his uniform, bowed to Chu Yi, and said, "The prince, someone from the city came to see Wu Meng."

Because Wu Meng's men and horses are not the same as Chu Yi's, so after the rebels are pacified, the two sides will naturally set up camps separately, so Wu Meng did not stay with Chu Yi.

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Wu Meng was originally the defender of Jiaxing, so it makes sense for people from the city to see him first."

Yang Zhi on the side said, "Your Majesty, the army needs food, grass and water, why don't the last general accompany the people from the city into the city for a walk."

Yang Zhi was born in a family of generals, and he is stronger than Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others. In addition, he has been taking care of the East Factory for Chu Yi all these years, but his ability in interpersonal communication has been tempered. Therefore, among these people present, only Yang Zhi is really the most suitable candidate.

Glancing at Yang Zhi, Chu Yi nodded and said, "If that's the case, Yang Zhi, go ahead."

Yang Zhi led the way and left the camp in a short time, just in time to meet Wu Meng who had an angry look on his face.

When he saw Wu Meng, Yang Zhi said to Wu Meng, "Commander Wu this is..."

Seeing Yang Zhi, the anger on Wu Meng's face subsided a little, with a bit of a wry smile on his face, and he cupped his hands at Yang Zhi and said, "It turned out to be the envoy Yang Zhi, but it was the envoy Yang Zhi who made him laugh. "

Seeing the look of doubt on Yang Zhi's face, Wu Meng sighed and explained, "Just now someone from the city, the county magistrate, Chen Zu, sent his confidant, Chen Xuan, to come and order me to return to the city immediately, but at the end of the day, it was to the county. The king resigns."

Yang Zhi finally understood, nodded slightly and said, "So it is, I don't know where the people in the city are at this time, Yang was ordered by the king of the county to go to the city, and asked the county magistrate to prepare food, grass and water for the army... …”

Wu Meng shook his head and said, "I am afraid that Yang Zhi is going to be disappointed. Just now, Chen Xuan said that I should guard the city gate and not allow one person to enter the city. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is deliberately targeting the army of the king. "

Yang Zhi raised his brows when he heard the words and said angrily: "What a good Chen Zu, he dares to wait for me so slowly, but Yang is going to see that Chen Zu and ask him face to face..."

Wu Meng couldn't stop him, so he sighed and went to say goodbye to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi in the camp looked at Wu Meng, and Wu Meng was all over it. Chu Yi understood what was going on, and couldn't help showing a bit of a smile in his eyes. He really didn't expect that even a county magistrate would dare to So rude, does this really mean that he can't kill people?

Chu Yi slowly got up and said: "Chu really wants to go to Jiaxing City for a walk, and ask Chen Zu, what can he do when the Governor enters the city."

As he said that, Chu Yi looked at Wu Meng who raised his head and said with a smile: "Wu Commander dare to go with Chu to see that Chen Zu, or help the Commander to get the compensation for the lieutenant generals."

Wu Meng's heart was hot, and he immediately raised his head and said, "The last will be willing."

At the city gate, Yang Zhi was yelling at the city wall at the moment, but above the city wall, Chen Xuan had already taken control of the situation. With Chen Xuan's fierce reputation in the past, few of those soldiers in the city dared not obey his orders. of.

Chen Xuan looked at Yang Zhi below and said with a sneer, "Yang Zhi, I miss you after the Yang Clan. Chen will let you out today. Otherwise, the crime of attacking the city gate will definitely shoot you on the spot."

Yang Zhi was so angry, he didn't expect that only one of the mere heads would have such courage. To know that Yang Zhi was in the capital, he was also an existence with a fierce reputation. I don't know how many high-ranking officials mentioned his name. The color changed, for fear that the East Factory would come to the door.

Whether it was his name as the head of the East Factory or after the Yang Clan, either one was enough to restrain Chen Xuan, and he never thought that the other party would be so rude.

Just when Yang Zhi wanted to jump on the city wall and slap Chen Xuan to death with a slap, a voice came from behind him: "Yang Zhi."

Hearing the voice, Yang Zhi looked back and saw Chu Yi and Wu Meng walking over.

Yang Zhi immediately turned to Chu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Zu and Chen Xuan are so arrogant that they won't let us into the city."

Chu Yi glanced at the top of the city, and saw Chen Xuanzheng in military uniform looking at them proudly, as if he was very satisfied with blocking them out of the city.

Seeing that Chu Yi was looking at him, Chen Xuan couldn't help but said to Chu Yi: "Listen to the people under the city, the county magistrate has orders, and the city gates are closed, and no one is allowed to enter the city, otherwise, they will be punished for colluding with traitors. Kill without mercy."

Chu Yi just glanced at Chen Xuan, suddenly laughed, and said while laughing: "Yang Zhi, the captain of the East Factory, obeyed the order."

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Zhi reacted and said solemnly: "Subordinates obey orders."

Chu Yi said in a cold voice, "I'm investigating Jiaxing magistrate Chen Zu colluding with the anti-thief Fang La. The evidence is true. I have ordered Dongchang to arrest and kill them, so as to correct the country's laws and warn the latecomers."

Chu Yi's voice was neither high nor low, revealing infinite coldness, but above the city wall, Chen Xuan and others could hear them clearly.

Hearing Chu Yi's words clearly, the smug look on Chen Xuan's face suddenly solidified, his eyes widened, and he looked at the very different figure below in disbelief.

"The county magistrate is so loyal to the court that he colluded with the rebels. You...you are a slander, and if you want to add a crime, why bother..."

Chen Xuan almost shouted loudly, and shouted at the soldiers around him: "This is slander, slander..."

Once the name of colluding with the rebels is detained on the head, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans, and other crimes are fine, but no one can bear the crimes of looting and annihilating the family.

What made Chen Xuan flustered the most was that Chu Yi did not face them with his military position at all, but offered up another identity of his own.

Dongchang has the privilege of overseeing the world. Although this point is a bit unreal, but if it is really said, if Dongchang is serious, it really has the right to kill first and then file.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Over the years, under the demonization of Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, Dongchang has become a fierce name in the hearts of the people. For example, Chen Xuan was a confidant of Chen Zu, and Chen Zu was under the sect of Cai Jing in the past. Naturally, he knew Dongchang very well.

Chen Zu learned that Chu Yi led the army, but he wanted to show it to Cai Jing, so he ordered not to provide any help to Chu Yi's troops.

However, Chen Zu had forgotten another identity of Chu Yi. Normally, his order could prevent Chu Yi and others from entering Jiaxing City.

However, Chu Yi's other identity is precisely what Chen Zu can't do. The East Factory has the duty to monitor the world. This responsibility is ridiculous. It is conceivable that if Chu Yi is willing, just by inspecting the world, Chu Yi will be able to Straight into any city, any official's mansion.

The mere city of Jiaxing can stop the army of the imperial court, but it cannot stop the footsteps of Dongchang.

Yang Zhi is not a fool. He immediately reacted after hearing Chu Yi's words, his face showed a bit of brilliance, he laughed, and before the city gate, he shouted at Chen Xuan on the city wall: "Wait a minute. If you don't open the door quickly, do you want to rebel together with Chen Zu?"

Apart from a few confidants beside Chen Xuan, the rest of the soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back and opened the distance between them and Chen Xuan.

The name of the rebellion is very scary. If it is true, it will be the end of the family and the family. Who dares to step forward at this time.

Chen Xuan's face changed, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes. He wanted to directly order Yang Zhi who was under the city gate to be shot and killed on the spot.

But not to mention that even if he gave an order, his confidants also moved their hands. Whether they can shoot Yang Zhi or not is another matter. The key is to look at the continuous military camp in the distance. After killing Yang Zhi, he was able to withstand the anger of the imperial army.

A soldier whispered to Chen Xuan: "Dutou, what should we do?"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xuan turned around and walked: "You are watching here, no one is allowed to open the door, no matter what people outside the city do, you only need to remember one thing, that is, no matter what, the city gate must not be opened. Turn on."

After saying this, Chen Xuanjing went straight from the gate to the direction of the county office.

Chu Yi's unreasonable play of cards made Chen Xuan lose his position for a while, but it was only a moment's effort. Chen Xuan arrived at the county office and soon saw Chen Zu.

Chen Zu, who was counting the collected silver coins there, looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, have everything outside the city been settled? Has that idiot Wu Meng returned to the city?"

Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zu with a solemn expression: "Brother, the big thing is bad, Chu Yi, he slandered his brother and colluded with Fang La's rebels, and wanted to go into the city to arrest his brother..."

With a bang, I saw a string of copper coins in Chen Zu's hand spilled into the box, and only heard Chen Zu screaming: "Shameless, really shameless, this county is an official of the imperial court, why did you collude with rebels, this is slander... …”

Chen Xuan said with a wry smile: "But clan brother, don't forget, Chu Yi is the owner of the East Factory, and the East Factory has the power to supervise the officials in the world. Unless we really want to rebel, we just need Chu Yi to fight this. With the same banner, we simply cannot stop Chu Yi and others from entering the city."

Chen Zu, whose face instantly became extremely ugly, couldn't care about the money in front of him at this moment, the whole person walked back and forth in the room, and said anxiously as he walked: "What should I do, what should I do... "

When he stopped, Chen Zu grabbed Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, what do you think I should do? Then Chu Yi will never let me go, or we should escape."

Chen Zu, who was very aware of Dongchang's style, had already realized that Chu Yi was going to put him to death when he heard the hat that Chu Yi had buckled for him.

It can be said with certainty that as long as Chu Yi catches him, he will definitely put the hat on his head for collaborating with the rebels.

Looking at the flustered Chen Zu, Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother clan doesn't think we can escape."

Chen Zu, who sat down, said with a gray face: "Then what should be done, how should it be done."

Suddenly, Chen Zu raised his head and looked at Chen Xuandao: "Otherwise, this official will go to Chu Yi and beg for surrender, willing to join his sect..."
