"The prince got a secret report that the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion and the prefect of Henan Mansion conspired against him, and ordered Er to go to Kaifeng Mansion and Henan Mansion as soon as possible, capture the two thieves, and behead them immediately! Collect the military rations and send them to Ruzhou without delay! As he spoke, he handed over Rab's papers.

Gu Jiale and Qi Mingze were taken aback at first glance, but this was indeed the prince's handwritten letter, since there was this handwritten letter, there would definitely be nothing wrong with it, so the two of them immediately ordered their soldiers and horses, and some of them were still drunk, and they were taken out and thrown directly into the river next to them, and they all woke up after a while.

Gu Jiale glanced at Qi Mingze: "The two of us brothers acted separately, but the military rations were obviously in Ruzhou, why did we go to Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion to kill the two prefects and collect the military rations again?" ”

"Probably they concealed the amount of grain and grass, since the prince got the secret report, there should be no mistake, there is the prince's handwritten paperwork, let's act separately."

"That makes sense, let's act now."

All the inferences of the two people are from Ruzhou and still in their hands, those officials just want to be promoted and want to go crazy, and their brains are a little stupid, but it doesn't look like a rebellion, and besides, the prince must have his own channels to collect news, they just need to carry out the order, and the order is so urgent that it cannot be delayed.

Seeing that the army was divided into two teams and drove away, Cheng Xiaolian said lightly: "Yang Youcai, let our brothers take action, as long as they are dressed as soldiers in the past two days, they are not allowed to go over, if the prince reacts, we will not give him a chance to regret it." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Ze and Li Youtong again: "After this incident, the Manchu army will probably arrive, do you have any plans?" ”

The two of them had long been tied to Daming's chariot, and there was nothing else to say: "Everything depends on the general." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "You are still loyal, these things are done well, send your family members out of the city, once the battle starts, I don't know how many people will die here." ”

The two of them also smiled bitterly: "Now Henan is still in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is not safe for the family to send it anywhere, and since it is to defend the city, we must have the confidence that we will die, if the general stays in the city, our family will not evacuate." ”

They are not stunned in the officialdom, although it is full of risks now, but it is also a good opportunity for political speculation, if they can coexist with the Ming army once, they will also be able to integrate into the Ming Dynasty, not to be a kind of official, although Cheng Xiaolian has made a wish to them before, but everyone has read a few history books, but anyone who makes a wish at this time will not be able to run away when the liquidation is in the future.

Since you have placed a bet, you will put the largest capital into it, win the glory and wealth, and lose the family and ruin.

Of course, the two of them naturally left a glimmer of life, each family selected a few excellent children, took part of the family's silver back to the township, if the family is prosperous, they come back, if this time Ruzhou can not be saved, they will be incognito, the family will not be broken.

Sure enough, hearing their words, Cheng Xiaolian was very moved: "The two adults are loyal and courageous, and they can learn from each other, I promise the two of you that after the end of this war, they will definitely be promoted to the imperial court, and if the official positions of the two adults are lower than the sixth grade, I will give you the head to make amends!" ”

When Cheng Xiaolian returned to the mansion, Yang Youcai couldn't help but snort: "General, they have secretly sent away several children, and they are obviously doing political speculation." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "Henan Mansion is not as good as other places, the people here are quite king-like, and they have recognized the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is not as simple as before to conquer this province. If we can't get through this joint, Henan Mansion will not be recovered, and we can't be like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, killing people with big knives, we can only cut off the heads of those stubborn ones first, and then set up these sincere and obedient ones into flagpoles, and then the people will naturally know what to do. ”

Yang Youcai stretched out his finger: "When it comes to espionage and assassination, I am smarter than the general, and when it comes to yin people, the general is a hundred times smarter than me." ”

"Nonsense, where is the yin here, this is the way to govern the country, let you study more on weekdays。。。。。。" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Yang Youcai had read a lot of books, and quickly changed his words: "What's the use of reading so many books without seeking to understand them." ”

Here Ruzhou began to prepare for war, and Gu Jiale had already arrived in Henan Mansion, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he suddenly remembered that the situation was tense when he entered the city, and he drank wine again at night, and when he came out, he got the prince's urgent order, but he didn't get the documents back.

But fortunately, the soldiers in the city knew them, and knew that they had just come two days before, and left the gates of the city and let them into the city.

These two people didn't talk much nonsense when they entered the city, and went straight to the prefect's mansion gate, and when they arrived at the mansion gate, they killed them directly.

It's not the first time they've done this kind of thing, if they report the number, they will definitely resist to the death if they are prepared, it's better to kill them directly, and the brothers can die less, and the prince has no intention of leaving a living mouth, which means that he has already mastered conclusive evidence, and he has killed a hundred directly.

Pity the prefect of Henan Mansion was still asleep, and was suddenly awakened by a shouting of killing, and before he could react, the knife had already been handed to his neck, Gu Jiale's set was smooth, and the defenders of Henan Mansion had not yet reacted, and the prefect had already cut off his head.

Only then did Gu Jiale begin to read out the prince's will: "The prince has a life, and he will collect 3,000 stones of grain and grass within three days, and if there is a grain of rice missing, he will kill the officials of Henan Province." He dared to say this because he had heard that the officials of Henan Prefecture had hidden all the grain, and in his opinion, if he didn't use some ruthless tricks, he would definitely not be able to suppress these traitorous officials.

But in the eyes of the officials of Henan Prefecture, this is not the case at all, the prefect is diligent, sleek and square, under his leadership, the officials of Henan Prefecture are full of energy, I thought that I should be promoted after winning this battle, but I didn't expect to be cut off like this, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Besides, in more than 20 days, the wheat will be ripe, and the grain will come down, and if you want to harvest the grain at this time, you can only go to the field to harvest the half-ripe wheat, which is not enough to eat, and secondly, it is not hungry, and there is really no grain to harvest.

Seeing that the officials were silent at the moment, Gu Jiale was even more convinced that they had ghosts in their hearts: "General Ben told you that before General Ben came, he had heard that you were secretly hiding military rations, and now there is still a chance to hand over the grain quickly, if you don't hand over the grain again, General Ben's butcher's knife will not recognize people!" ”

Thank you for your reward, thank you for your support!
