Chapter 876: Confrontation

The lead clouds of Jinling City are hanging low, and a mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

On the square in front of the Prince's Mansion, a long gate was erected, inside and outside the gate, the soldiers of Yingtianfu and Beizhen Fusi were strictly lined up, and three or four hundred sergeants who were eyeing each other wrapped iron locks around their waists and held wooden sticks, strictly isolating the Prince's Mansion behind them from the square in front of them.

On weekdays, the front of the Prince's Mansion is unguarded, and even in last year's coup d'Γ©tat, such a scene has never been seen. So today, even the most sluggish people have sensed that something big is going to happen here, and they all avoid it......

There is no endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses, and the large flat in front of the East Palace looks extraordinarily solemn and vast.

In front of the gate, Yin Lu Chongzhi of Yingtianfu looked at Wang Xian beside him with an uneasy face, only to see the hand of the Jinyi Guard Governor on the hilt of the knife, looking at the empty square with an indifferent expression.

"Uncle, it's all like this, there is no one yet, will they be scared back by our posture?" Yin Chongzhi endured and endured, but still said that he didn't believe.

"Hehe......" Wang Xian glanced at him with a smile and didn't make a sound. He really had no interest in answering such stupid questions.

"Hehe, it's wishful thinking on the part of the lower officials......" Yin Chongzhi smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth in amusement.

"My lord," Deng Xiaoxian hurriedly walked over at this time, and whispered in Wang Xian's ear: "The brothers acted overnight, and they tried their best to prevent half of the officials from coming. ”

"It's already good." Wang Xian smiled and said softly: "Overnight, you can make more than 200 officials retreat, and you can be regarded as capable." ”

"Thank you, Lord for complimenting." Deng Xiaoxian's face was happy, and then he was worried: "But there are still half of the people who have to come to petition with their necks stiff." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Erhei, who was standing behind Wang Xian, squinted at the one-eyed monster and said with a smile: "Last night, the edict prison was vacated overnight, and the two hundred people can still pretend." ”

"Ahh Lu Chongzhi, who was listening with his ears pricked up on the side, was frightened and couldn't help but cry out. "Uncle, think twice! This is hostile to hundreds of officials! ”

"If Lord Lu is afraid, he can avoid them before they come." The two black monsters on the side laughed and teased.

"The lower officials are not afraid," Lu Chongzhi looked at this group of Qiu Ba, full of helplessness of 'Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable', and said with a depressed face: "I am thinking about my uncle!" You can't be the enemy of a hundred officials, uncle! ”

"Thank you Lord Lu for your kindness," Wang Xian only smiled faintly and said, "But sometimes, you have to know that you can't do it." After a pause, he suddenly listened attentively, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and his voice was even more cold and frightening:

"They're coming!"

Following Wang Xian's gaze, Lu Chongzhi and the officials looked at the street, and after only a few breaths, they saw a large group of civil officials wearing various colors of court clothes appearing in front of everyone......

"I'm a good girl," seeing so many officials in court uniforms, the momentum came violently. Hundreds of hard-soled boots stepped on the official road paved with bluestone slabs, and there was a shocking rumbling sound - this formation, not to mention Lu Chongzhi, even Er Hei and Deng Xiaoxian couldn't help but gasp. "What a big formation......"

"Ahem!" Wang Xian glared fiercely at a few unangry guys, and everyone hurriedly shook their spirits and put on a fierce posture.

At this time, those officials had already come to the big flat, lined up in a long line, and came straight to the gate.

"Stop, stop!" Erhei took a step forward and stood in front of the officials, although there were hundreds of soldiers behind him and his own adults pressing the formation, he still had a feeling of being alone...... Just like in Zhenjiang City, he hit stones with eggs and was outnumbered.

Those officials stood still...... They had to stop, or they were going to hit the fence. But they all have black faces, like creditors who come to collect debts collectively.

"You guys, cough cough ......" Erhei cleared his throat, and was just about to take a tune, but he heard a fourth-grade official who hit the head shouting violently:

"Bold, who dares to set up a guard in front of the East Palace, have you ever asked His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"This ......" Erhei was speechless, and it took a while before he held back a sentence: "Can you manage it?" ”

All the civil officials laughed loudly when they heard this, and after laughing, the four-grade official proudly raised his head and said: "This official Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Ji Benqing, do you think I can control it?!" "Zhan Shifu is an institution of the East Palace, specializing in managing the affairs of the prince, this Ji Benqing is the second-in-command of Zhan Shifu, so this is naturally justified.

But in fact, everyone present knows that since a few years ago, after Emperor Yongle swept away the subordinate officials of the East Palace under the pretext that the prince was missing, the officials of the Zhan Mansion who were replaced by Qing Yishui were all cronies of the emperor, the king of Han, and the king of Zhao, but there were no cronies of the prince. The crown prince and his Zhan Mansion have long been strangers, and they are not people in the same boat at all!

It's just that although this principle is simple, it can't be explained......

"We received a tip-off that someone is going to gather in front of the East Palace Gate today to make trouble." Erhei had no choice but to snort and said, "For the sake of the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, I have to take Ying Tianfu to fortify here in case of accidents!" ”

"Where are there any people gathering to make trouble?!" The civil officials stared coldly at the second ****: "You won't say that I am waiting, right?" ”

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

"You dare to slander me and other officials!" This can be regarded as a public anger, and the officials are like hornets that have been stabbed in the nest, and they go to Erhei with their heads and faces: "Well, the emperor is on a northern tour and the prince is in charge of the country." I, the court officials, come here to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the court etiquette avenue! You dare to slander us and others, it is a gathering of people to make trouble!! ”

"Well, you wait, we will jointly impeach you, the rabid dog!"

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

Seeing that Erhei was blocked with strange eyes and a red face, everyone behind him sighed secretly, and said in their hearts that this is normal, how can Lao Hei be a martial artist, how can he compare to the kung fu of civil officials.

At this time, there was a sudden loud bang, which shocked the civil officials all of a sudden, and they followed the prestige in a daze, only to see Wang Xian, the governor of the brocade clothes wearing a python robe and horizontal eyebrows, holding a delicate short gun in his hand, and a wisp of white smoke was emitting from the mouth of the gun......

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

In the eyes of the hundred officials, this big spy leader is squinting at them and despising them!

At that moment, they seemed to see Ji Gang's demon reborn, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in the back of their heads...... I rubbed my eyes vigorously and rubbed them again, only to see that it was not Ji Gang on the other side, but the young Wang Xian......

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

"Uncle, the lower officials are so polite," these officials are only of the fourth grade, and they finally dare not treat Wang Xian, a super-grade earl and the leader of the Jinyi Guard, like they did to Erhei.

"Hehe......" Wang Xian took the reloaded firecracker, and while playing with it in his hand, he smiled and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm going to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Those civil officials couldn't help but tremble when they looked at the fire hammer in his hand. "As a rule, during the emperor's tour, the prince of the prison state should receive the courtiers on behalf of his father."

"You all ask to see the prince?" Wang Xian swept everyone with his hand with a smile, and frightened the hundred officials to retreat again and again, because he still had that damn musket in his hand! And it's loaded!

"Yes......" The civil officials replied in a trembling voice, but they stood firm and did not retreat. Although their faces are as white as earth, they all put on a posture of looking at death as home.

"No way!" Wang Xian turned his face flat, and the muzzle of the gun was slightly raised by an inch.

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

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

'Bang! Another shot rang out, and the crowd shuddered again - they saw an official hat fly into the sky!

The civil official, who had been shot in his hat, was on his knees, kneeling on the ground with his head covered, his teeth chattering and unable to speak......

If it's a little lower, he's going to be fired!" The officials couldn't help but gasp.

If it's a little lower, he's going to be fired!" Lu Chongzhi and Wang Xian's subordinates were also stunned, and the former even scolded Wang Xian for being a 'madman' in his heart!

If it's a little lower, he's going to be fired!" Even Wang Xian was stunned...... God pity it, the shot he just fired was actually misfired......

β€œ******! What are you yelling about?! Of course, Wang Xian would never admit such an embarrassing thing, only to see his eyes wide, and he yelled at the frightened civil officials: "Did Lao Tzu say that he wouldn't let you meet the prince?!" ”。

"......" In front of the Prince's Mansion, it was quiet for a while before the official said cautiously: "Then please remove the people and horses, let's go in......"

"So many people go in together, what is it like?!" Wang Xian snorted coldly and said: "What I know is to meet the prince, I don't know if I think you are in a hurry!" ”

"Then ......" The officials were all trembling with fear when they saw that Wang Xian's fire gun had been filled with projectiles again.

"Register and meet one by one!" Wang Xian rolled his eyes, and the clerk beside him set up a table with pen and ink books on the table.

"This ......" The civil officials looked at each other and asked each other what was going on, did they do it?

Wouldn't it be contrary to the original purpose of the petition to do so? And everyone came to petition together, and there was already a careful mind that the law did not blame the public, and this next signing and drawing of the pledge, wouldn't it be the rhythm of settling accounts after the autumn?

But if you don't do it, how can you deal with this Hades-like Wang Xian?!
