Chapter 977 Escort
The news of Yang Feng's attack shocked the entire capital. Half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened.
Zhu Youxiao's roar sounded in the palace: "Investigate... and issue an order to send me a strict investigation and issue an order to dispatch the Jingying and 50% of the military personnel to the army. We must find out those lawless traitors. No matter who is involved, we will be severely punished!"
With the order of Zhu Youxiao, all the yamen runners of the five cities of the military commanders and the soldiers stationed in the capital were dispatched. Yang Guozhu, the newly appointed governor of the Jingying, who had been in office for less than a year, personally led 30,000 Beijing camps to conduct a carpet-style search of the entire capital.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Not only is the person involved Yang Feng busy comforting the frightened wives and concubines, Zhu Youxiao was also furious in the palace. Tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers and 50% of the military personnel turned the capital upside down. Even the officials in the capital were frightened one by one. Everyone knew that the capital was about to have an earthquake.
In an elegant and wealthy bedroom, Yang Feng sat on the edge of the bed, and Hai Lanzhu was lying in his arms, holding his strong waist with her hands. Even when she was sleeping, she could still see a trace of tears at the corners of her eyes.
Pregnant women are very fragile in their emotions. They can often be scared by a small matter, let alone the life-and-death matter such as assassination.
It has been almost midnight since I returned to my house. It was not until an hour ago that Yang Feng barely coaxed Hai Lanzhu to bed. Yang Feng felt even more tired than fighting a big battle.
"Squeak..."
With a light sound, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in. Zhezhe came to Yang Feng and put his mouth close to Yang Feng's ear and whispered: "My husband, it's almost the third day. It's time for you to wash up and go to court."
"Okay, I get it."
Yang Feng nodded slightly, slowly took Hai Lanzhu's hands around his waist away, put it gently on the bed, and covered her with a brocade quilt. After doing all this, he stretched out his body again, came to Zhezhe to hug her slender waist, hugged her whole body in his arms, and asked Zhezhe's body that was full of fragrance that only mature women had. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and pecked her on her cherry lips, and said softly: "Are they all asleep?"
"Everything is asleep." Zhezhe buried his long head in his husband's arms. Hearing the powerful and stable bounce sound coming from his ears, the little anxiety and fear that was originally buried in his heart seemed to disappear for a moment.
"Thank you tonight, I want to comfort you sisters and servants. Now they are all asleep and you still have to take care of Hai Lanzhu. I can't imagine that if you don't have you, the family would be in chaos."
Hearing her husband's praise, Zhezhe's pretty face buried in Yang Feng's arms showed a moving smile. She shook her head gently and murmured: "These are all things I should do. Compared to my husband fighting outside, what are the things I do? Besides, as long as I have my husband around me, I feel that everything is worth it."
Listening to Zhezhe's gentle voice came from his ears, Yang Feng felt a burst of tenderness filling his chest, feeling that everything he did was worth it. For this family and for these women who deeply depended on and trusted him, no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.
After a while, Zhezhe, who felt that he was a little overwhelmed by the hugging, pushed Yang Feng away with force, took a few breaths and then said with a pink face red: "Okay, the time is over, my husband should go to court, I think today's court meeting will be very lively, my husband must be prepared."
"Hiking fun? More than that?" Hearing this, the tenderness on Yang Feng's face slowly became cold and he snorted coldly: "I want to see what monsters and monsters will jump out at the court meeting today."
Under the maid's service, Yang Feng changed into court uniforms and took Song Ye and his family out of the Marquis' Mansion. However, as soon as he left the door, he saw a large number of soldiers standing at the door. These soldiers were all holding brown bass muskets, and their armor was shining under the light. The leader was a middle-aged general. He was tall and burly and looked particularly majestic.
After seeing the visitor, Yang Feng couldn't help but say in surprise: "Sir Yang, why are you here?"
The visitor was Yang Guozhu, who was the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng at the time. When he saw Yang Feng leave the mansion, he jumped down from his horse and bowed to Yang Feng: "Report to the Marquis, the last general will be ordered by His Majesty to escort the Marquis to court!"
Seeing Yang Guozhu's performance as if he was facing a great enemy, Yang Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry: "No... I said Lao Yang, the formation you created is too big. Those who don't know would think that I, Mr. Yang, are going to rebel!"
Yang Guozhu said solemnly: "Mr. Marquis, you don't know. After the news of your attack last night came out, Your Majesty was furious and issued an order overnight to order the Jing camp and 50% of the military commanders to go out. It took most of the night to catch the thieves who missed the net. There is nothing wrong with Mo Zheng. If you encounter anything else on your way to court, Mo Zheng can only wipe your neck and apologize to Your Majesty."
"It's strange that you can catch it."
Yang Feng shook his head.
"The capital is so big, I want to search all overnight. Not to mention that you rely on the capital camp, this is just 30,000 people. Even if the number of people doubles, it is not enough. What's more, there are so many royal relatives, princes and nobles in the capital. Do you really dare to go in and search? A few thieves took off their clothes and went to any corner, even gods could not find them."
"Who said no?"
Seeing Yang Feng say this, Yang Guozhu felt bitter as if he had met a confidant. "Mr. Marquis, you know the most. The more than 30,000 brothers in our Beijing camp are good at killing enemies. They are really not very good at knocking on the door and catching thieves. What's more, there are millions of people living in the capital. It is undoubtedly like finding a needle in the sea of people. It's really difficult."
"Forget it, let's go, let's go!" Yang Feng waved his hand and took the lead in getting on the horse and walked outside.
It is said that there are not many talents in the city at around 3 a.m., but the fact is not the case. Along the way, Yang Feng saw stark lanterns everywhere, and sedan chairs of all sizes were walking towards the direction of the palace. Many people saw Yang Feng, surrounded by densely packed with officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, with a ray of surprise in his eyes.
After the three-way drum passed, Yang Feng entered the Forbidden City like all the officials. After entering from the Right Ye Gate, he was established in accordance with the rank order in the south of Jinshui Bridge. He only started to line up to enter the Golden Palace after the whip sounded.
"Ba...b...ba...b...b...b..."
The whip stopped, and Zhu Youxiao had already begun to sit down in this matter. A eunuch showed his body from beside him and said loudly in the voice that could be heard in the entire hall: "Your Majesty has an order, and all the ministers have their orders to report, but no orders have their orders to retreat to the court!"
