Chapter 166 The acting is over, Jia Yun shows off her sword
Lou Shoufeng and Chu Kaichun never expected that Jia Yun would hold a banquet at Hongmen tonight. They never expected that there would be a big chaos at the city gate this evening. They never expected that the city would suddenly be filled with cavalry...
Therefore, the two people naturally did not send anyone to keep an eye on the city gate. Zhou Yan and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were their eyes and ears at the city gate.
However, Zhou Yan and the officers and soldiers were captured directly, so naturally no one immediately went to the temporary coal administration office to inform Lou Shoufeng and Chu Kaichun.
When Mu Fu and Tang Daqian led a hundred cavalry in armor, the vanguard, towards the temporary Coal Administration Office, there was still a lively atmosphere of a feast in the temporary Coal Administration Office.
Jia Yun is still showing off his wonderful acting skills: "Master Chu, thank you for taking care of me when I come to Huainan these days. Come, I'll toast you with this glass of wine!"
At this time, Meng Jing, Yu Keping, and Cao Wu, who were sitting at the next table, were all a little nervous. Although they were still laughing together, the smiles on their faces already seemed a little stiff.
Zhao Xiuyuan, like Jia Yun, still showed off his acting skills. He raised his glass to Lou Meng and said with a smile: "I am older than you, so I dare to call you 'Brother Meng'. Brother Meng, I just heard that you have been in the military."
After several military exploits, I feel appreciated."
"It is not difficult to imagine that with Brother Meng's ability and the support of your father, Lord Meng, Brother Meng will probably become a high-ranking military attache in the future. Maybe there will be a day when I need Brother Meng's care.
Come, I’ll toast you with this glass of wine!”
Meng Jing, Yu Keping, Cao Wu: "..."
The three of them admired Zhao Xiuyuan more and more, and they all thought about how they had never seen before that Zhao Xiuyuan, a martial artist who was born as a second-level martial artist, had such good acting skills and such a good attitude.
As for the fact that Jia Yun's acting skills and mentality are better, Meng Jing, Yu Keping, and Cao Wu are not surprised, because in their hearts, Jia Yun is a genius descended from heaven and is extraordinary.
…
…
According to Jia Yun's plan, at 5:00 a.m. and 6 o'clock in the evening, Mu Fu and Tang Daqian led a hundred cavalry in armor and arrived at the gate of Huainan City and immediately rushed to the temporary Coal Administration Yamen.
At this time, the temporary coal administration Yamen was still in a lively atmosphere of a feast.
At six o'clock in the morning, a soldier of Lou Shoufeng suddenly hurried into the main hall and shouted to Lou Shoufeng: "Sir Lou, something happened. Many officers and soldiers suddenly came outside!"
Lou Shoufeng did not panic immediately. He frowned and asked, "Who sent troops here without authorization?"
Even now, Lou Shoufeng did not expect that it was Jia Yun who was causing trouble. He subconsciously thought that it was one of his military attachés who mobilized officers and soldiers.
The soldier said: "I don't know, I just know that the person who came here is not good and just broke in without permission."
Without waiting for Lou Shoufeng to respond, Jia Yun took the lead and said angrily: "Who is so brave? Let me go and see!"
After saying that, Jia Yun stood up and walked out of the hall, not forgetting to pick up her first-class guard's knife from the hall.
Zhao Xiuyuan, Meng Jing, Yu Keping, Cao Wu: "..."
This time even Zhao Xiuyuan admired Jia Yun's acting skills and mentality.
Immediately, the four people stood up one after another and followed Jia Yun out of the main room.
Lou Shoufeng, Chu Kaichun, Yuan Nan, Lou Biao, Lou Meng, etc. could not sit still and all followed them out of the main room.
As soon as Jia Yun, Zhao Xiuyuan, Meng Jing, Yu Keping, and Cao Wu walked to the inner courtyard, Mu Fu and Tang Daqian rushed in with dozens of officers and soldiers.
Seeing this, Jia Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: The acting is over, it's time to show off the sword!
"Leader Jia!" Mu Fu and Tang Daqian stepped forward and shouted to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun immediately turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Lou Shoufeng, Chu Kaichun, Yuan Nan, Lou Biao, Lou Meng and others. Jia Yun's face became serious, and she seemed to have both the aura of a king and the aura of killing.
.
"Capture them all alive! Keep them alive!"
Following Jia Yun's order, six subordinate guards and dozens of officers and soldiers rushed over together.
Jia Yun was not idle either, and rushed towards Lou Shoufeng herself with a first-class guard knife in hand.
Lou Shoufeng was a second-level martial arts scholar. He was tall and strong. Even though he was almost fifty years old, his strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that there were three soldiers standing beside him.
Since Jia Yun didn't plan to go on a killing spree this time, it took him a while to capture Lou Shoufeng and three of his soldiers, but he managed to capture them all alive after a while.
After a while, all the more than 20 people who entered the Hongmen Banquet today were captured alive. No one died, but quite a few were injured, some seriously.
Three of Lou Shoufeng's soldiers were all wounded by Jia Yun, one of whom was seriously injured.
Chu Kaichun, who was tied up, looked panicked and angry, and shouted angrily at Jia Yun: "Master Jia, what are you doing?"
Jia Yun said coldly: "I am the imperial envoy of the coal mine department, and this time I am investigating you and others according to the emperor's order!"
Lou Shoufeng, who was also tied up, cursed angrily: "Jia Yun, you are so brave. I am the second-grade general of Shouchun Town. How dare you capture me?"
Jia Yun said coldly: "Master Lou, as far as I know you are not deaf. Didn't you hear what I just said? Let me say it again, I am the imperial envoy of the Coal Mine Division. This time I am investigating you and others by the emperor's order! In addition, Xuzhou
The town's commander-in-chief, Qin Houxiang, Lord Qin, has followed the emperor's order and personally led a thousand officers and soldiers into Huainan!"
Lou Shoufeng, Chu Kaichun: "..."
Both of them turned pale, realizing that this time the trouble was big, big!
At this time, Yuan Nan shouted: "Master Jia, even if you are on an errand, there must be a reason why you captured us, right? You captured us for no reason, this is too overbearing!"
Jia Yun still said coldly: "Who said there is no reason? It is a felony for you businessmen to mine private coal. It is also a felony for Lou Shoufeng to allow his eldest son to mine private coal. It is also a felony for Chu Kaichun to collude with private coal dealers in corruption!"
"
Jia Yun did not point out the death of Qin Ye this time because he had not confirmed it yet and there was no need to point it out at the moment.
Chu Kaichun said angrily: "What witness evidence do you have?"
Jia Yun still said coldly: "Of course!"
After saying that, Jia Yun stopped talking and immediately asked the guards and soldiers to imprison everyone in the temporary Coal Administration Yamen. They were not imprisoned together, but were imprisoned separately in a targeted manner...
…
…
At this time, Qin Keqing, Ruizhu, and Baozhu were all staying in the west wing, and they all quietly saw the scene happening in the inner courtyard outside through the window...
Although Qin Keqing knew Jia Yun's plan in advance, now that he saw the plan going smoothly and Jia Yun looking so domineering and solemn, he was still excited and admired.
Ruizhu and Baozhu were both excited and surprised.
Ruizhu asked Qin Keqing in surprise: "Girl, what is going on? Master Jia, isn't he a confused young man, a playboy, a stupid and corrupt official? Isn't he colluding with these local officials and businessmen? Why did he suddenly turn against these evil people?
Already?"
Qin Keqing smiled playfully: "Actually, Mr. Yun's previous behavior was all deliberately pretending. In order to confuse those people, Mr. Yun had already planned to arrest these people."
At this point, naturally there is no need to continue to hide it.
Bao Zhu blinked her big eyes and asked excitedly and curiously: "Girl, how did you know?"
Qin Keqing immediately told the matter.
After Ruizhu and Baozhu learned about it, they not only admired Jia Yun, but also felt depressed.
What's frustrating is that Jia Yun doesn't even trust them. She only told Qin Keqing but not them about this plan. Even Qin Keqing didn't tell them...
Ruizhu said depressedly: "Humph, the girl doesn't trust us and keeps hiding this kind of thing from us. It's a shame that we have been worried about the girl these past few days!"
Baozhu echoed: "That's right!"
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry, this matter is too important to allow any mistakes. Second Master Yun trusts me so much. I can't betray her trust and ruin his important event."
Ruizhu said: "Young lady just doesn't trust us."
After all, Ruizhu and Baozhu both understand that they are depressed, not only because this matter is very important, but also because they are self-aware and know that they are only maids after all and are not qualified to know such important secrets in advance.
…
…
Soon, Qin Houxiang also led 700 cavalry to the temporary Coal Administration Yamen.
Jia Yun and Qin Houxiang met, and immediately, according to Jia Yun's plan, Qin Houxiang left the temporary Coal Administration Office with 500 cavalrymen and went to the General Military Office of Shouchun Town.
Three hundred cavalry were left to guard the temporary Coal Administration Office, which was tightly guarded inside and outside.
When Qin Houxiang arrived at the General Military Office in Shouchun Town with 500 cavalrymen, he found that more than 200 officers and soldiers were gathering at the entrance of the General Military Office.
The reason was that Lou Shoufeng's personal soldiers had just reported the incident to the General Military Department, so a general named Shao Fu planned to gather a group of officers and soldiers to rescue Lou Shoufeng.
The general is a military attaché of the third rank, and Shao Fu is Lou Shoufeng's loyal subordinate.
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, Qin Houxiang led his troops to intercept more than 200 officers and soldiers including Shao Fu, and shouted in a deep voice.
Shao Fu asked: "Who are you?"
Qin Houxiang said in a deep voice: "I am Qin Houxiang, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou Town. I am following the emperor's order to investigate and deal with Mr. Lou Shoufeng!"
Shao Fu was dissatisfied: "Master Qin, what crime do we, Master Lou, have?"
Qin Houxiang said in a deep voice: "Master Lou allows his eldest son to mine private coal, which is a serious crime!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shao Fu to retort, Qin Houxiang asked in a deep voice: "Where is Fang Nianhai, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town?"
Shao Fu fell silent, and other military attachés responded: "Master Fang is at the General Military Administration."
Qin Houxiang was about to ask his officers and soldiers to ask Fang Nianhai to come out. As soon as the officers and soldiers walked towards the general headquarters, Fang Nianhai took the initiative to come out.
Fang Nianhai is the deputy commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town. He is a second-grade military attache and is only one level lower than Qin Houxiang. Moreover, Qin Houxiang needs to use this person this time, so Qin Houxiang's attitude towards Fang Nianhai is quite polite.
After some polite greetings, Fang Nianhai learned about Qin Houxiang's intention, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because he was not clean either and had obtained a lot of profits through private coal dealers.
At this time, Qin Houxiang took out an imperial edict.
Jia Yun brought not only one imperial edict with her on this trip, but two!
One of them was given to Qin Houxiang before.
There is another one that Qin Houxiang has taken out now. The general content of this imperial edict is that once Qin Houxiang leads his troops into Huainan, Qin Houxiang will temporarily take over the post of chief soldier of Shouchun Town, and all officers and soldiers in Shouchun Town must obey Qin Houxiang's orders.
Order, anyone who resists will be deemed as rebelling!
Fang Nianhai, Shao Fu and other military attachés read this imperial edict.
Immediately, Qin Houxiang called Fang Nianhai to his side and whispered into Fang Nianhai's ear: "Master Fang, the main culprits in the private coal mining in Huainan are Lou Shoufeng, Chu Kaichun, Yuan Nan, Lou Biao and others. I don't know.
Are you also involved? Even if you are involved, you will not be the main culprit."
"As long as you help me stabilize the military camp in Shouchun Town this time and atone for your sins, this matter will not involve you."
Fang Nianhai was immediately moved when he heard this. He was not Lou Shoufeng's loyal subordinate. Although he usually fawned over Lou Shoufeng, but now that he was in this situation, he naturally knew that Lou Shoufeng was in big trouble.
As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkey will scatter. At this time, he wisely chose to side with Jia Yun and Qin Houxiang, which is the emperor who sided with him!
Fang Nianhai nodded and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely help you this time!"
When Qin Houxiang heard this, he felt relieved.
Why did Jia Yun arrange a banquet at Hongmen so carefully this time?
The main target is Lou Shoufeng!
Because Lou Shoufeng is the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town and manages a large number of officers and soldiers under his command, and he has been the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town for several years, it is inevitable that he has cultivated some loyal subordinates in Huainan.
Jia Yun was worried that if Lou Shoufeng was arrested head-on, Lou Shoufeng might resist the arrest, or even jump over the wall to start a mutiny. Once there was a mutiny, things would be really big and the casualties would be huge...
Before going south this time, Emperor Tianzhi told Jia Yun not to cause mutiny or heavy casualties in Huainan.
Jia Yun cannot afford such a result.
That's why he planned carefully to capture Lou Shoufeng without anyone noticing. Even Lou Biao and Lou Meng, two of Lou Shoufeng's sons, were captured and imprisoned in the temporary Coal Administration Yamen.
At the same time, Qin Houxiang was asked to temporarily serve as the general commander of Shouchun Town with the imperial edict.
Even if this is the case, there may still be loyal subordinates of Lou Shoufeng who create a mutiny...
At this time, if the deputy commander of Shouchun Town, Fang Nianhai, could help, the possibility of mutiny would be reduced to a very low level.
All this is within Jia Yun's plan.
So far, the plan has gone smoothly.
But this is not over yet, Jia Yun will still have to interrogate and find out the truth about Qin Ye's death!
…
…
It was already night time.
At this moment, the temporary Coal Administration Yamen really looks like a Yamen. There are officers and soldiers inside and outside, the lights are brightly lit, but there is a strong chilling atmosphere!
Qin Keqing, Ruizhu, Baozhu, even if they stay in the wing and don't come out, they can still feel the strong murderous atmosphere outside the window!
The main hall in the inner courtyard used to be a lively banquet atmosphere, but now it has become a makeshift trial court.
Jia Yun sat in the upper seat of the hall, ready to start interrogating the prisoner...
In this interrogation, he will not take the usual route, he will cut through the knot with a sharp knife, and even use a guillotine...
