If Wang Zhen unfortunately dies of illness, the news of his death will not shock the fragile military morale, and it will need to be kept strictly confidential for several days or even ten days.
At that time, it may be necessary to stop the palace, Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian and others from sending people to investigate.
Therefore, Wang Fan could not leave the house. He, Lu Xiong, Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and others needed to stay, and when necessary, they had to prevent outsiders from breaking in.
Xu Huaize, Xu Wuqi, Yan Xiaoyi, Zhu Chengjun, Zhou Jing, Niu Er and others gathered around Zhu Hang and Zhu Zhi, who were wearing raincoats and covering their faces with bamboo hats, and walked out of the house towards the entrance of Qingye Lane.
Xu Huai and Zhu Hang were responsible for external affairs. However, in order to prevent the peace negotiators from directly targeting the Zhu Mansion, Lu Wenhu and Zhu Mansion's retinue remained stationary for the time being. After they left, they pretended to escort Zhu Hang back to the Zhu Mansion.
At this time, in addition to the dozens of military soldiers who had set up a blockade before, there were five or six more government officials carrying swords at the entrance of the alley.
"Friends, please take a step to speak!" The middle-aged government servant headed by him stared at the people who came out of Wang Zhen's house with a gloomy face, held a knife across his chest, and said at the entrance of the alley.
Xu Huai glanced at the yamen servant under the straw shed whose sternum was shattered by his kick. The corpse had been wrapped in a straw mat and laid on the ground, but the black and purple face was exposed outside the straw mat, still looking ferocious.
Xu Huai had no pity or sympathy for the dogs who had no courage to defend the enemy outside the city but were surprisingly brave in searching the city. He pushed the handle of his knife against the bamboo hat and stared at the middle-aged government servant and the falcon without saying a word.
The same eyes were like knives, wanting to cut open all these people's internal organs.
The middle-aged yamen officer wanted to hold his face and question him, but Xu Huaihun didn't think he meant killing. At this moment, Xu Huai's fierce and violent aura frightened him. He wanted to continue to stop him, but he was afraid that he would draw his sword at the slightest disagreement.
, but their people were beaten to death in the street and they didn't care about it. They looked too incompetent and stood there frozen for a while.
"Perhaps it would be better to report this matter to Dong Jingcheng for handling!" A mature and prudent old official saw that something was wrong, and tugged on the middle-aged yamen servant's lapel from behind and advised him in a low voice.
"Is it reasonable for them to commit murder in the street?" Then someone else muttered unconvincedly.
"Grandpa can't control other places, but the Prime Minister has worked hard to control the barbarians. If you set up a trap outside the Prime Minister's house to exploit the gold and silver of the officials and people to pay the barbarians, you are seeking death!" Xu Huai slowly pulled out his sword.
, said word by word, "I have said this, what else do you still not understand?"
"I don't mean to embarrass you, but you must leave your name so that we can communicate easily when we go back!" the middle-aged government official said with a gloomy face.
"You have no courage to guard the captives, and you are like a wolf to the people. How dare you ask my grandpa's name? Bah!" Xu Huai spat loudly, took out a belt from his arms, threw it to the middle-aged government servant, and said, "You guys
I'll take this back to report, but Tianmu hasn't removed this checkpoint before, so don't blame grandpa for venting his anger on your heads! Now, get out of here, grandpa."
The middle-aged government servant took the lead and stepped aside to get out of the way. It was not until Xu Huai passed the Yushou Bridge that he carefully looked at the iron waistband in his hand, and the clouds covering his face became more and more intense.
Someone came over to look at the waist film and asked curiously:
"Didn't the Xuanwu Army's men and horses go out of the city to attack the enemy camp at night a few days ago, and they were all surrounded by the Red Husbands? Why are there still Xuanwu Army soldiers in the city? I thought I heard it wrong before. They ran to Wang
What are you doing in the prime minister's house?"
"Even if the entire Xuanwu Army is dispatched, there will still be some soldiers left to guard the barracks in Xicheng; besides, if they are surrounded by the Red Husbands, not even a person or a horse will be able to escape. However, I heard that Wang Zhen
The Prime Minister sent the Xuanwu Army out of the city to attack the enemy. It was originally a top secret, but for some unknown reason, it fell into the siege of the captive soldiers, which resulted in the entire army being destroyed. These soldiers came to the king to report to the Prime Minister in a fierce manner.
Could it be that they suspect someone is harming them? Seeing their fierce eyes, looking like they want to eat people, Wu Boss was standing in front of me just now, I was really worried, fearing that these murderers would fight without saying a word..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense. This is what we can discuss. Do you have to stop talking? Xiao Zhou, you continue to stay here, but don't stop checking passers-by. If the Prime Minister Wang's house still
If anyone comes in or out, please be polite to me and wait until I come back to discuss everything." The middle-aged yamen officer said, grabbing his waist badge in his hand.
It was not his turn to decide whether the checkpoints here should be withdrawn or not. And in the end, one of them was kicked to death in the street. The middle-aged government officer thought that he deliberately concealed this matter, and it was not his decision.

Using the shield of the stone arch bridge, Xu Huai and the others walked across the Yushou Bridge and entered a narrow alley on the slope of the bridge.
Seeing that there was no one in front of or behind the alley, Zhou Jing quickly walked to the door of a courtyard house and knocked several times. The courtyard door opened immediately. Xu Huai and others gathered around Zhu Hang, and Zhu Zhi quickly walked in.
"I originally thought that the Bianliang trap was inevitable, and asked Zhou Jing to arrange a stronghold next to Wang Xiang's house so that he could escort Wang Xiang out of the capital if necessary. I never thought that it would be like this..." Zhu Hang saw this place
The stronghold is near Yushou Bridge, Xu Huai explained briefly with emotion.
"In order to accommodate Zhou Dajiang and others these days, we have left two people on duty here!" After Xu Huai and Zhu Hang walked into the yard and sat down, Zhou Jing brought over the two hidden stakes who were on duty here and reported.
"You have been on duty here for the past few days. Are there any unusual people on Qingye Lane who are keeping an eye on Prime Minister Wang's Mansion?" Xu Huai called the two hidden stakes into the room and asked.
Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian and others were so frightened by the Red Husbands' invasion to the south, and Emperor Tianxuan was so incompetent. Xu Huai originally thought that except for the Imperial Guards, these people would not have much control over Bianliang City.
However, Xu Huai rushed to Bianliang in person and saw that the capital had ordered Kaifeng Mansion to search for gold and silver in the city to repay the Hulu demands. However, Xu Huai realized that his estimate of the situation in Bianliang City was still a little off.
erroneous.
These Sun Tzu are incompetent against the enemy, but they have not lost the ability to suppress internal pressure.
For Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian and others who are bent on begging for peace, Wang Zhen may be the biggest unexpected factor that they cannot control. It is difficult to imagine that they will not send people to keep an eye on this.
"...In addition to the fact that this level is also meant to monitor the Prime Minister's residence, the house on the left side of the alley is looking rather suspicious,"
Xu Huai set up a stronghold here in order to urgently escort Wang Zhen and others out of the capital when the city fell. The two hidden stakes on duty here, although they would not act rashly at this time and mainly lurked, they could also touch them at any time.
Check the situation near Yushou Bridge and report at this time,
"However, we are afraid of alerting the snake and have not yet gotten in. At present, we can only confirm that four different people have entered and exited the courtyard. However, it is not clear how many people were in the courtyard at this time. In addition, in addition to daggers, these people also carried various weapons with them.
I don’t think I’m carrying any other weapons!”
"Deploy your manpower and pull out this nail as soon as the checkpoint at the alley is removed!" Xu Huai ordered Zhou Jing.
"Would this act as a warning to others?" Zhu Hang asked.
"I just want to scare people away from Bianliang, which is like a stagnant water. If there is no slightest stir, it will really die." Xu Huai said with a serious face.
"Or should we continue to act in the name of Xuanwu soldiers?" Zhu Hang asked.
"Well," Xu Huai nodded and said, "Mr. Zhu Lang, you don't have to worry about the Wang Xiang being alarmed. People like Wang Qiyong and Wang Boqian don't dare to do anything to the Wang Xiang directly, even if they want to go in again
Slanderous talk, but how can they open their mouths about these things?"
Zhu Hang nodded. Even though the officials put all the responsibility for the defeat of the army on Wang Zhen, they were still afraid of the anger of the soldiers and the people. In the end, they just cut off Wang Zhen's post of defense envoy.
Just before Xu Huaishi entered the Wang Family Mansion, he kicked a government official to death in the street. The Kaifeng Mansion did not dare to rush in directly to arrest him. How could they dare to report the killing in the street of the "Xuanwu Soldiers" who attacked the enemy camp at night and were brutally destroyed?
In front of an official?
Even if the governor of Kaifeng wanted to report it, Wang Qiyong and Wang Boqian would definitely stop him.
Otherwise, wouldn't this be equivalent to telling the officials that the military is indignant and eager to fight?

For the matter of pulling out the nails at the entrance of Qingye Alley, Xu Huai just asked Zhou Jing to arrange the matter. There was no need to keep an eye on it personally. The most important thing for them right now was not only to find out the person who leaked the secret, but also to find a way.
Rescue Princess Yingyun.
Wang Zhen was dismissed from his position as the defense envoy of the Four Walls. Zhu Hang and Wang Fan, as subordinates, naturally resigned directly.
Bianliang City is currently dominated by the peace talks faction, and they are always on guard against them. Even though Zhu Han and Wang Fan wanted to rob Princess Yingyun, they have not yet taken action. At this time, Princess Lian Yingyun was under house arrest.
In Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhu Hang still doesn't know whether it has been taken to other places for centralized control.
Both of these matters should be done urgently rather than slowly. After all, you don't know when those bastards will hand the person over. Once the person enters the Chihu military camp, it will be too difficult to rescue them.
Yan Xiaoyi, Zhu Chengjun, Niu Er and others did not follow her into the side courtyard house to discuss matters just now. Only then did they realize that Princess Yingyun was almost losing their noses with anger.
Zhu Chengjun was originally a wealthy businessman from Dengzhou who came to Bianliang to sell horses. Because he still had some old memories in Bianliang, Xu Huai deliberately brought him with him. Zhu Chengjun thought that the things he had experienced in half his life were tortuous enough, but he did not expect this
Only then did my eyes really open up, and I couldn’t help but curse:
"King Jing is still leading the army in Gong County to resist the Japanese soldiers. These grandsons are really not afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in the world!"
"This matter may be related to the secret obstruction of Queen Duan Gong." Zhu Hang said.
Xu Huai nodded.
There are also direct concubines among the royal family members. Even if Wang Qiyong and his grandsons encouraged Emperor Tianxuan to use the royal family girls or even royal daughters and granddaughters to compensate for the extortion of Chihuren, Emperor Tianxuan would not have given birth to so many royal daughters and granddaughters for most of his life.
The princes born to the former queen and the women from King Jing's line should be sacrificed first.
There must be a reason behind this.
In the past, this could be exploited, but at this juncture, and thinking about the Zhao family's appearance, Xu Huai didn't think there was much room for exploitation...
