Chapter 591 came to the Lingering Garden

"Speak quickly!" Xu Mengqi couldn't wait to ask.

"The best, of course, is that Wu Runing will leave for the capital immediately. Everything is over. Hu Kan began to talk eloquently, "If there is still delay, then find an opportunity to take it to the adult, and the villain will lead people to ambush, capture the thief and capture the king first, take it as a hostage, and escort it back to the capital." The worst is to arrest him unsuccessfully, cut off his head to show the public, and then collect the charges. Adults can also reassure their soldiers. and if the dragons are leaderless, their armies will be dispersed. But the latter two methods are risky, and adults need to decide. ”

In the current Runing and Guide places, the countryside is basically controlled by the Runing army, and the city is managed by the local government, so on the surface, it is not much different from other places in the Ming Dynasty. So when they saw each other in a hurry, Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan didn't find anything abnormal.

In the general local management of the Ming Dynasty, the local civil officials also had an army in their hands, which was basically used for the security of the city under their jurisdiction, and although the military attache in charge of the war soldiers was in charge of the army and had an official residence in the city, they carried some personal soldiers in the city at most, and the troops under their command were stationed in the large camp outside the city. Therefore, in the city, the civilian army has an absolute advantage.

Needless to say, the actual situation of the place controlled by the Runing Army was needless to say, but Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan thought by inertia and thought that it was the same as elsewhere, so they had the courage to prepare to attack Wu Shigong in the city.

"Are you sure?" Xu Mengqi asked again. Of course, what he asked about was the arrest of Wu Shigong.

"Nine out of ten!" Hu Kan's face also showed some smugness, "That's what the villain does." ”

For lock officials, Hu Kan is indeed an expert. And he also has absolute confidence in Jinyiwei's power. It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the ideas of the Zhu dynasty have been deep-rooted, and Jinyiwei, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, has spread its prestige all over the world. Of course. In the limelight in the capital, they are not as good as Dongchang. Locally, however, they are still famous.

So this kind of thing often happens, several colonels of Jinyiwei went to an official's house to lock it, and the official's family of more than 100 people did not dare to resist, not even dare to escape, and obediently tied his hands and arrested.

But Hu Kan's experience is basically for civilian officials, and he is a civil official in the capital, he has not locked up the military attachΓ© much, especially has not dealt with the warlordized military attache in the late Ming Dynasty, so Hu Kan's judgment has been deviated. So. Empiricism kills people!

"So how do you deal with the aftermath?" Xu Mengqi asked again. Xu Mengqi's consideration is a little more complicated. He had to think not only about how to arrest, but also how to reassure the morale of the Runing army and prevent mutiny. It is also necessary to consider how to smoothly escort Wu Shigong to the capital. Prevent Wu Shigong's cronies from robbing people halfway.

"My lord! You're a chap! Hu Kan's heart couldn't help but feel some contempt. As long as Xu Mengqi announced that he was ordered by the king, what officials and soldiers would not open their eyes? Here, Hu Kan again committed empiricism.

However, after being reminded by Hu Kanyi. Xu Mengqi also thought of this. His brow immediately furrowed, but suddenly. Xu Mengqi thought of another question. He asked again: "Then Wu Runing belongs to the Xue Hou family, and there must be guards from the Hou Mansion by his side, can you handle the more than 100 people?" ”

Hu Kan immediately replied with a smile: "Don't worry. With Wu Runing in hand, no matter how many guards there are, they will have to throw a rat bogey. Besides, Wu Runing's whole family is in the capital, especially the two Hou mansions are in the capital. Do those guards dare to disobey the king's orders? ”

Xu Mengqi thought for a while, and nodded: "It's best to let him go." Otherwise, lock it up! ”

"No!" Hu Kan immediately saluted and received the order, and then asked. "If you resist arrest, can you kill it?" This question is a key issue, which determines whether Jinyiwei's actions will shrink back.

"Yes!" Xu Mengqi suddenly felt his blood surge, and a sense of pride burst out, this feeling of deciding the life and death of others is indeed intoxicating. Xu Mengqi has just entered the officialdom in the end, and he is still enthusiastically thinking about doing a big career, "My generation should have the ambition of Ban Dingyuan." If he succeeds, he will ask the teacher for Hu Qianhu. ”

At this time, Xu Mengqi even had some fantasies: I heard that Wu Runing had a strong army in his hands, if he subdued it, and then accommodated Wen Tiren, maybe the imperial court would push the boat and put this army under his command. The promotion speed of this battlefield is the fastest!

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Zilian's experience has become a legend, so Xu Mengqi at this time is also dreaming of this.

"Thank you, sir!" Hu Kan immediately smiled, "But my lord, if you want to lock it, you can't get around the prefect of Runing." The matter of locking up can be arranged by the villain, and ...... the matter of negotiation with the prefect of Runing? ”

"The official will go and tell it in person!" Xu Mengqi agreed.

From beginning to end, Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan didn't realize that they were just messengers who came to deliver the decree, not at all messengers who came to arrest officials, so their actions were actually illegal at all. But thinking about Yuan Chonghuan killing Mao Wenlong without a holy decree, it can be seen that the military attache is really nothing in the eyes of the civil official!

"That's pretty much it." Wu Shigong impatiently avoided the maid beside him, preparing to go out immediately.

"Sir! That's not going to work! Xiu'er, who commanded the maid to dress Wu Shigong, immediately stood up with a big belly, she walked in front of Wu Shigong and arranged the robe belt for Wu Shigong, "Today is a banquet for the Qin mission, the master has to dress neatly, and he will lose face." ”

"What kind of face?" Wu Shigong couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you take a fancy to my lord's generous gift?" He also specially sent someone to invite me to the banquet, saying that there was something important to discuss, and I had been in Runing for more than a month, and I should have said something long ago. It's not enough to eat well, but I even think of celebrating my birthday. Alas! ”

Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, she felt that Wu Shigong's true temperament was quite cute: "Who told the master to stay still?" If you go to Beijing as soon as possible, you can see your wife and son earlier. ”

"You don't understand military affairs!" Wu Shigong smiled and scratched Xiu'er's nose, "But the day of departure is not far away, but I can't take you to the capital." Well, you should rest quickly, and don't spoil the baby in your belly. ”

"Nothing! Lang Zhong asked the slaves and maids to move more, and their bodies were sore when they sat and lay down all day long. ”

Today is the 14th day of March in the 10th year of Chongzhen, and Qin sent Xu Mengqi to hold a banquet in his temporarily requisitioned official residence. Previously, Xu Mengqi sent someone to invite him warmly, asking Wu Shigong to appreciate his face and inform him that there was something important to discuss. couldn't get in the way, Wu Shigong could only go to the banquet in person with a generous gift.

Finally tidying up, Wu Shigong came out of his house, and Han Shi immediately led people to greet him madly. As soon as he stepped on the horse, Wu Shigong looked left and right, and immediately asked Quan Dashan, the deputy commander of the army: "Where is Xiao Xinzi?" ”

"Commander Tao is preparing a wedding dress!" Jeon Dashan replied with a smile.

In fact, Wu Shigong also knew that Tao Xin had asked him for leave, and Xiao Jie's wedding date was set for July, so Tao Xin was preparing at this time.

"At such a young age, I don't want to make a contribution, just thinking about Qingqing and me, it's really a waste of my teaching!" Unconsciously, Wu Shigong took out the tone of his father-in-law, "Hello to the mountain!" Late marriage pacesetter! ”

The pro-soldiers immediately laughed, and no one dared to refute Wu Shigong's words. Wu Shigong looked at the whole mountain again, and said with a smile: "What? Want to go to war? They are all wearing armor and riding spears, are they tired? ”

Because it was to enter the city, Wu Shigong only brought fifty personal soldiers this time. But all over the mountain, they are still meticulously armed. Because Wu Shigong had been assassinated once, Quan Dashan definitely did not dare to take it lightly.

Quan Dashan knew that Wu Shigong was joking, so he didn't answer Wu Shigong's question directly, he said with a smile: "I really want to go to the legion earlier." But the safety of the adults is more important, so the little ones should stay for a while! ”

Wu Shigong also laughed: "I know that you boys feel restrained when you stay by my side, and you want to go crazy below." There's a chance! But Dashan, you do have to stay for a while, and after Xiao Xinzi gets married, I will kick him down first, and sharpen it for a while, and then it will be your turn. ”

"Everything is up to you!" Quan Dashan's guards are quite familiar with Wu Shigong, so there are no rules for speaking, "I'm afraid that the eldest lady will be unhappy!" ”

"She dares!" Wu Shigong's eyes widened suddenly. However, thinking that Zhao Ruya and Xiaojie really dared, they couldn't help but hahadaxiao.

chatted all the way, and before I knew it, I came to the Lingering Garden. The Lingering Garden is the private courtyard of a local gentry in Runing, which was offered this time as a temporary official residence of the Qin Cha Xu Mengqi.

Wu Shigong left the whole mountain outside the garden, and threw the people crazy to Han Shi, who came up, and then entered the Lingering Garden under the guidance of the gatehouse. While walking, he also saluted and greeted the officials on the same road.

And Han Shi, who took over the crazy people, looked around and found a problem. After all, the Lingering Garden is a private courtyard, not an official residence, so there is no tethered horse stake at the door, and there is no way to tie people to go crazy.

So Han Shi took the time to grab a slave at the door, and saluted with a smile: "This is our Lord Wu's horse, which is relatively wild, and I am afraid of startling the sedan chair of other adults, so I dare to ask this little brother, is there a place to put it?" ”

Because of the lack of manpower, the gentry who stayed in the garden also allocated a group of slaves to Xu Mengqi, and this time Xu Mengqi placed these slaves at the gate to welcome guests, and Hu Kan and these brocade guards were ambushed in the inner courtyard where the banquet was held.

So the slave didn't know that Xu Mengqi had action, and he also made it convenient, so he welcomed Han Shi and the people into a small pony shed in the Lingering Garden, and advised: "This old brother must not come out, it will not be beautiful if you disturb the guests, offend!" Offend! (To be continued......)
