Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Sudden Fire
As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, he remembered the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door!
"Your Majesty, Lord Ni Yuanlu, the squire of the military department, asks to see you!"
Cao Huachun's voice rang out.
"No, no! I don't see anyone today! ”
Chongzhen, who was angry in his heart, shouted hatefully.
"This, Your Majesty, let's see it, Lord Ni is sweating all over his head, and his expression is worried, I'm afraid it's an urgent matter again......"
Cao Huachun replied cautiously.
Chongzhen forced himself to endure his anger, and said impatiently: "Okay, let him in!" ”
After a short time, Ni Yuanlu walked in and said urgently: "Minister Ni Yuanlu saw the emperor, the minister just got an urgent report from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Dongcheng Post House suddenly caught fire, and the entire post house was burned to pieces, and there was a fierce ......fight among them."
"What?"
Chongzhen was furious and shouted: "What are the soldiers and horses of the five cities doing to eat, the post house has been burned to ashes, and they just found out?" What did you do earlier, a bunch of garbage! ”
Ni Yuanlu hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"It's broken!"
Fang Yuegong didn't react, but Zhu Jie's face changed sharply!
Fang Yuegong asked, "General Zhu, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "Lord Fang, don't forget, when Xia Guan entered the city this time, the soldiers and horses were stationed outside the Guangqu Gate, but Xia Guan's entourage and some important things were all placed in the post house, including Lord Lin Yueshan's wife and daughter......
Chongzhen was immediately attracted by Zhu Jie's words and asked, "Zhu Jie, what did you say?" ”
Zhu Jie replied: "Your Majesty, the minister who entered Beijing is to live in the post house, not only with Lord Lin Yueshan's family, but also the music drafted by Lord Lin Yueshan, the statistics of illegal salt sales in the Gyeonggi area, etc., this fire is really not the right time to ......burn."
"Lin Yueshan's recital and evidence?"
Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Lin Yueshan was unjustly imprisoned, Jinyiwei privately tried to destroy the evidence, and at the same time planned to kidnap his family, the minister met at the right time, rescued him, and at the same time kept the evidence, this time I am afraid that some people got the news that the minister had entered Beijing, burned the post house, burned all these things, and died without proof, no one could help them......
A hint of fierceness flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, if the fire to the post house is really as Zhu Jie said, then I must definitely investigate it thoroughly to the end, no matter who is involved in this matter, I will never spare it!
"Your Majesty, the minister is afraid that the opponent will not only destroy the evidence, but also take the opportunity to kill Lord Lin Yueshan's family, so I ask to leave the palace immediately and go to the post house!"
Zhu Jie bowed and said.
Chongzhen nodded and replied, "Okay, in that case, Zhu Aiqing will leave the palace, and I will summon you again in the near future!" Cao Huachun, immediately send a decree to extract Lin Yueshan from the prison of the Criminal Department, no matter what, I must protect Lin Yueshan's safety, I want a royal trial! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Huachun hurriedly turned around and left.
Kyoshi Post House.
Shu Xinchen was standing next to the ruins, furious!
This time when he entered the capital, Zhu Jie took Shu Xinchen and Xu Yifan, and at the same time there was a personal guard from a hundred households to follow, and at the same time settled Lin Lan's mother and daughter in the post house, which was personally protected by Shu Xinchen.
I didn't expect that in broad daylight, someone actually set fire to the post house, and it wasn't arson in one place, there were four or five places on fire at the same time, even if you want to extinguish the fire, it's impossible!
The most terrible thing is that when the brothers were fighting the fire, the group rushed into the post house, took advantage of Shu Xinchen's inattention, and directly abducted Lin Lan's mother and daughter, and tried to snatch the evidence, but by the time Shu Xinchen reacted, it was too late, and only snatched the evidence, but Lin Lan's mother and daughter were snatched away.
Wouldn't this cost Shu Xinchen's life? His dignified deputy commander-in-chief, he can't even look down on two women, and when the general comes back, how can he explain himself? There is no redemption for a hundred deaths!
"Damn bastards! Die, you. More than 100 people can't even protect Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, what's the use of asking you? ”
"Brother Shu, this, just now I only cared about fighting the fire, the situation is too chaotic, the other party dispatched at least more than a hundred people, and suddenly made a move, we didn't have time to react at all......"
Xu Yifan said annoyedly.
"You—you told me you had a fart? Do you have the ability to talk to the general? Lao Tzu was killed by you, but before Lao Tzu died, he had to kill you one by one! ”
Shu Xinchen yelled angrily.
Xu Yifan smiled bitterly: "Big brother, don't get angry first, hurry up and check those things left by Lord Lin, Dong Xi and they have already chased them out with people, and they will definitely be able to find them!" ”
While he was talking, Dong Xi, the general banner, ran back and said urgently: "General Shu! ”
"How's your tracking?"
Shu Xinchen shouted.
Dong Xi hurriedly replied: "General, we have been following that group of people, all the way to see them enter a mansion in Yongdingmen, this should be their lair, there are no less than a hundred of them, I only took a dozen brothers, I don't dare to startle the snake, so let the others keep an eye on their people, and hurry back to report to you!" ”
Shu Xinchen slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Okay, if you find their nest, it's easy!" Yifan, immediately go out of the city to transfer Lao Tzu, and pull a thousand troops to come in for me, Lao Tzu will wipe out this gang of bandits! ”
Xu Yifan's face turned green, and he said urgently: "Big brother, don't come nonsense, this is an important place in Beijing, mobilize a thousand troops into the city, don't say you, you are the secretary of the military department, without asking the emperor, you will never dare to come like this......"
Shu Xinchen roared angrily: "Lao Tzu cares about him!" I'm the boss here, and I'll immediately give me an order to transfer people, and if something happens, I'll take it around! ”
"Waste, you're carrying a piece of shit!"
Zhu Jie's cold voice came from the side, and at the critical moment, Zhu Jie finally arrived.
"Itinerary, Yifan, what's the situation now?"
Shu Xinchen immediately wilted, and said astringently: "General, I am incompetent, I am ashamed of you, someone deliberately set fire to the post house, robbed Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, and almost snatched away the evidence, I was about to transfer people to besiege the bandits' lair......"
Zhu Jie's heart was shocked, everyone was snatched away!
"You guys, you two really are a couple of shit!"
Zhu Jie hated that iron could not become steel and shouted, "Yifan, immediately go outside the city to give an order, mobilize three hundred soldiers into the city to operate, the emperor already knows about this matter, it doesn't matter if the sky is broken!" ”
"Yes, General!"
Xu Yifan hurriedly agreed, turned around and left.
"Xinchen, there is nothing to do with you here, with thirty brothers, immediately get up and rush to the prison of the Criminal Department, secretly protect the safety of Lord Lin Yueshan, I am worried that someone will do something to Lord Lin......"
