Chapter 102: Disclosure of Identity
Although Sun Sui is close to Jiazi, he is only sixty or seventy miles from Xujia Village to Shangrao County, so he did not take a carriage, but rode a horse in military uniform, with a red cloak and a sword hanging around his waist.
Liu Qingyuan used to rush to Xujia Village by carriage, but at this time, the governor was on horseback, so he naturally couldn't continue to ride in the carriage, and also rode a horse to follow Sun Sui.
In addition, Yuan Zhouwei commanded Qi Fang, Ganzhouwei commanded Yue Zhen, and a number of senior generals such as commanders and commanders accompanied by them.
It is worth mentioning here that the Ming army stationed in Jiangxi had five guards, namely Nanchang Left Guard, Nanchang Qianwei, Yuan Zhou Wei, Ganzhou Wei and Ji'an Guard, in addition to the independent Qianhu Station.
This time, Sun Sui did not mobilize the Nanchang Left Guard and the Nanchang Qianwei, but instead transferred Yuan Zhouwei and Ganzhou Wei at the expense of the near and far, because he was worried that the generals of the two guards in Nanchang would have a good relationship with King Ning, and they would not contribute to the suppression of bandits.
At this time, Sun Sui suddenly restrained the horse, and the generals behind him hurriedly stopped.
Xun then summoned two personal soldiers to give an order, and the two personal soldiers turned their horses and ran to the back of the team, and the generals couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what medicine was sold in the governor's gourd.
Two of Sun Sui's personal soldiers rode to the two carriages at the back of the procession and said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Governor, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to get on the horse." ”
Zhao Xing and Mu Yong, who were in charge of catching the car, were stunned, where did His Royal Highness the Prince come from in the car? The two didn't know that the little slave was the son of King Xing.
Zhu Houxi in the carriage was playing chess with Xie Sangun, and when he heard that he had dropped the chess pieces, he looked at Xu Jin a little nervously.
Xu Jin nodded and encouraged: "Go ahead!" ”
This arrangement was suggested by Xu Jin to Sun Sui before departure, that is, to let the little slave Zhu Houxi disclose his identity to enter the city, because it is safer to make his identity public.
The reason is very simple, just like a treasure, many people covet it, but when this treasure is put in the light of day and accepts the public's attention, it does not dare to make a bad decision.
In the same way, Zhu Houyu disclosed his identity, and if the prince of Ning Wang wanted to poison him, he had to have some scruples, as the so-called melon field and plum, if Zhu Houyu had any accident in Jiangxi, Ning Wangfu would not be able to get rid of the suspicion in the first place.
The little slave lifted the curtain and retracted it and said, "Xu Jin, why don't you accompany me?" ”
Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Zhu Houxi happily lifted the curtain and jumped into the carriage, as if he had found a child accompanied by his parents. Xu Jin instructed Xiao Wan a few words, and then also got out of the carriage.
Sun Sui's two personal soldiers also followed into Xujia Village that day, knowing that the adults appreciated Xu Jin very much, so they did not stop him and brought two horses.
The little slave skillfully stepped on the knee of one of his own soldiers and flipped onto the horse's back. Xu Jin loved to play extreme sports in his previous life, and even crossing to the Ming Dynasty was caused by the failure of parachuting.
The two pro-soldiers were originally worried that Xu Jin, a weak scholar from the countryside, would not be able to ride a horse, but when they saw that he was still a veteran in this action, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Of course, the two pro-soldiers would not gossip about why Xu Jin rode a horse and led the two to the front of the team.
Xie Xiaowan peeked out of the car window, looking at the back of her father-in-law riding on horseback, and couldn't help but look at the little stars in her eyes.
Xie Sangun said with a smile: "Brother-in-law seems to know everything, even riding a horse is so chic." ”
"Sycophant, your second brother and I are not more chic when riding horses, and I will shoot your brother-in-law's ass." Xie Er Kendo.
Xie Sanshu said with a smile: "Second brother, if you have the ability to make a set of children's clothes to wear, I will also praise you for being chic." ”
Xie Erjian was suddenly swallowed and couldn't make a sound.
Xu Jin and Zhu Houxi rode to the front, and Sun Sui smiled and beckoned: "His Royal Highness, Ziqian, come to the side of this official." ”
All the generals showed surprise, but Liu Qingyuan had already learned the identity of the little slave when he was in Xujia Village.
Sun Sui introduced to the generals: "This is the son of King Naixing. ”
Zhu Houxi clenched his fists and said crisply: "Houxi has seen all the generals. ”
Sun Sui is the governor of a province, naturally he will not joke, and the generals hurriedly returned the salute, but they were secretly strange in their hearts, King Xing's fief is in Huguang, how did King Xing's prince run to the border of Jiangxi?
Sun Sui didn't explain, and the herald continued to march, and now it was less than five miles away from Shangrao County, and it only took about a quarter of an hour to reach the city gate.
At this time, the two sides of the straight road outside the city gate were already full of people, and a group of yacha wearing official clothes and holding water and fire sticks were maintaining order.
In the bustling crowd, a man with a sallow body and a sallow face was staring at Sun Sui on horseback viciously, and the green tendons on his neck were raised, so he wanted to eat Sun Sui alive. This man is none other than Wu Sanba, the leader of the lead mountain bandits who escaped.
It is said that after Wu Sanba escaped ashore with more than a dozen of his men that day, he was searched and killed by the Ming army, and finally got rid of the pursuers, and became a single commander himself. Before dawn the next day, Wu Sanba stole a set of clothes to hang in the yard and disguised himself as a mountain man chopping wood, and let him pass the test in a fool's way and touched the outside of Shangrao County.
However, Wu Sanbafei came to the county seat so vigorously, not to kill Sun Sui to take revenge, but to seek the protection of King Ning's prince and help him make a comeback in the future.
At this time, Wu Sanba's gaze shifted from Sun Sui to Xu Jin and Zhu Houxi next to him, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, could it be that these two are the people who King Ning Shizi wants to arrest by himself?
A trace of hatred flashed in Wu Sanba's eyes, and he remembered the appearance of the two of them in his mind. Because Wu Sanba had already seen Li Zhen, the second boss in the prisoner's car, just now, he knew that Li Zhen had missed.
At this time, Sun Sui, Xu Jin and others had already come to the gate of the city and turned over and dismounted, and the fat Lu Governor hurriedly led the officials to greet him, Sun Sui just nodded casually and hung him aside, and turned to greet Fei Hong and Lou Wei and others.
Seeing this, all the gentlemen understood that Governor Lu was afraid that it would be bad this time, so they all subconsciously stayed away from him, and turned to get close to Liu Qingyuan, the magistrate of the county.
The eunuch Lai Yi said with a sharp voice: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, our family is looking forward to the autumn water, and finally looking forward to Lord Sun." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat viciously, and Zhu Houxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lai Yi glanced at Zhu Houxi unhappily, and his eyes lit up and said, "Master Sun, whose son is this, he looks quite standard." ”
All the officials and gentry present looked at the little slave curiously, Ning Wang Shizi had a slightly calm face, and the eunuch Liu Ji next to him was still smiling like a Buddha, and he also looked at the little slave curiously, as if it was the first time he had seen it, so when it came to the city government, Brother Zhu couldn't match Eunuch Liu.
Sun Sui introduced: "Father-in-law Lai, this prince of Naixing is also the prince of Houxi! ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly resounded with a buzzing discussion, and everyone including the Fei Hong brothers showed surprise.
Lai Gonggong exclaimed: "Didn't the prince of Xingwang disappear last year, why is he here?" ”
Lai Yi and Guo Zirui are both from the capital, and King Xing naturally knows everything about his son not being seen.
Sun Sui looked at Ning Wang Shizi coldly, and said lightly: "Xingwang Shizi was forcibly abducted to Nanchang Mansion by gangsters at the end of last year, and escaped to Shangrao County, fortunately rescued by Xu Jin, a student of Xinjiang Academy. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, who was so bold that even the prince of the vassal king dared to rob him, not to mention that King Xing was the emperor's own uncle.
And the clever officials have already glanced at the prince of King Ning with a vague gaze, you must know that Nanchang is the fief of King Ning.
Ning Wang Zhu's eldest brother's face changed, especially Sun Sui's eyes staring at him when he spoke, which made him a little flustered, but after the panic, he was annoyed, and said coldly: "What does Governor Sun mean by staring at this son, don't you still suspect that this son sent someone to do it?" ”
Liu Ji, the eunuch next to him, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the prince was still too young, so easy to lose his breath.
Sun Sui said lightly: "This official doesn't mean this, why should His Royal Highness the Prince be suspicious!" ”
Brother Zhu's face turned red, and the eunuch Liu Ji said helpfully: "The governor stares intently at His Royal Highness the Prince, it is indeed misleading, and His Royal Highness the Prince's anger is also known to be common. In addition, is there any evidence for the governor to say that the thieves kidnapped the prince of Xingwang to Nanchang Mansion? ”
Sun Sui retorted: "Although the prince of Xingwang is young, he is very intelligent, literate and hyphenated, and he is not clear where he was captive, and what solid evidence is needed?" ”
Liu Ji pretended to be angry and said: "Then these thieves are too bold and reckless, since this matter happened in the Nanchang realm, the old slave will show the prince and investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Ning Wang Shizi's expression returned to normal, and he nodded and agreed: "What Gonggong Liu said is extremely true, it must be thoroughly investigated, even if the entire Nanchang Mansion is overturned, these thieves must be found, but I am afraid that these thieves are just passing by." ”
Sun Sui said coldly: "As the governor of Jiangxi, this official will naturally investigate this matter and severely punish those lawless, kingless and fatherless bandits!" ”
Sun Sui pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, and Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning, was angry in his heart, but this time he didn't panic, he just sneered and didn't answer.
The atmosphere was full of gunpowder!
