Qiu Wu still had no fear on his face. He was not frightened by the gunfire from Nanchang back then. What's more, these little soldiers from the Bingma Division didn't dare to use their swords or guns because of their courage. He guessed it very well.
Yes, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division would not dare to kill them easily, but that does not mean that they would not give them a good beating.
Zhong Shouyong waved his hand, and a hundred soldiers in the front row held up tall shields and pressed forward. The formation was very dense. The tall wooden shields were as tall as a person. The front was covered with animal skins and studded with iron nails. It was obvious at first glance that it was not
The standard equipment of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was something borrowed from the Red Shirt Regiment. One hundred shields pressed up from three sides like a wall, blocking the Jinyi guards in the corner. No matter how skilled they were, they could not break out.
, Gradually the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and black shadows like raindrops flew out from behind the encirclement and hit the Jin Yiwei, causing their noses to be bruised and their faces swollen, and they cried out in pain. After a closer look, it turned out that these black shadows were all heavy blue bricks. Five Cities
The people in the Military and Horse Division are very interesting. They don't use swords, guns or bows and arrows, they just use their heads to kill people.
These bricks were all brought from a nearby construction site. The blue bricks are different from the red bricks. They are large and heavy. If the guards had not been trained, they might have killed a few of them by now. That's it.
He still smashed them until they were unable to fight back, and then the shield was dodged, revealing the water and fire sticks, and they were beaten randomly. After the beating, the soldiers retreated with a clatter, and they only saw a group of Jin Yiwei lying beside the wall. Basically, there were no
They were all complete, their heads were covered with bumps, their faces were covered in blood, their brown official robes were torn into strips, and their embroidered spring knives were thrown away.
Qianhu was not immune. His black gauze hat flew off, Feiyu's clothes were in tatters, and there was a clear footprint on his heart. Qiu Qianhu was too tough, so he suffered the most bricks. No matter how powerful he was in martial arts, he couldn't protect himself from such a blow.
, one arm has been dislocated.
At this time, a dozen soldiers with the same bruises and bruises walked out of the detention center. They were all beaten like this by the Jinyi guards. Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the attackers became the ones being beaten, and they were even more injured.
heavier.
"Look, this is the consequence of bullying our Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. I don't care what factory or guard you are. The brother who beat me just slapped my butt and wanted to leave. Humph, no way!" Zhong Shouyong clapped his hands and said, those who were beaten were
When the soldiers saw that the commander took care of them so much, and even beat the Jin Yiwei to vent their anger, they all knelt down in emotion: "Thank you, Lord Zhong!"
"Brothers, listen up, you are all Zhong Shouyong's brothers. If I bully you, I am bullying me. If I bully me, I am suppressing the Marquis of Wu. We have the backing of the Marquis and we are not afraid of anyone. If anyone bullies you in the future, just hit me with a stick.
Beat me to death! I'll be responsible for anything that happens! Did you hear me?!"
Hearing Mr. Zhong's encouraging words, all the soldiers present felt their spines straightened and their confidence strengthened. They all shouted in unison: "I heard you!" and their morale was greatly boosted.
"Young men, you have been beaten. Now I will chain these turtles and put them in a cage. I will ask the commander of the Jin Yiwei to pay for their injuries and medicine before releasing them." Zhong Shouyong gave an order to everyone.
The soldiers shook off the chains and were about to take someone away, only to hear an angry shout: "Who dares to come here?" It turned out that it was Qiu Wu and Qiu Qianhu who pulled out the Xiuchun knife, and the bright blade touched his bloody and ferocious face.
He is scary, and judging from his posture, he is ready to fight for his life.
To put it bluntly, how could the dignified Qianhu of Jinyiwei be captured alive? It would be fine if the opponent was a tyrannical unit like Nanchang, but it just happened to be the Wucheng Bingma Division, which was always known for being a softie. Jinyiwei's face was exposed when this happened.
Where to put it, and the other party said that the commander would personally mention the person, which was really embarrassing, and directly related to Qiu Wu's career, so Qiu Wu decided to fight to the death, even if he died, he would not be embarrassed.
Seeing him put on a stubborn resistance posture, Zhong Shouyong pouted and raised dozens of bricks to greet Qiu Wu. At this time, there was a sound of gongs to clear the way, and the soldiers who had been lined up in a tight line separated into a main road.
, several black and gold-painted street signs were revealed, with the words "Quietly Avoidance" and "Cabinet Grand Scholar, Official Hall Main Hall" on them. It turned out that Qian Qianyi, the first civil servant of the dynasty and the chief minister of the cabinet, had arrived.
Qian Qianyi's reputation was so famous that even the Marquis of Zhenwu had to give him three points. When the old man came, of course everyone had to give him face. Even the arrogant Zhong Shouyong had to put away his face and trot over to get things done.
Qian Qianyi sat upright in the sedan and did not get down. He said slowly: "I happened to pass by this place when I entered the palace to meet the emperor. I heard that the army and horses were dispatched in large numbers. I came here to take a look. I don't know where General Zhong was captured.
Thief?"
The villain Zhong Shouyong first complained: "I reported back to the Qiange Department. They were not thieves, but a few drunken soldiers from the Jinyi Guards who came to make trouble. They smashed up our Bingma Division Detention Center. Countless prisoners escaped and the sergeants were also arrested."
They were beaten and injured, and the general who came to stop him was also injured. Sir, you can see that the general’s hands are swollen.”
"My lord, you are wronged! The general received a report saying that several young men from high-ranking officials were arrested by the people of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division without any reason when they were enjoying their spring outing in Tangshan Hot Spring, so they came here to find out what happened. Unexpectedly, they not only arrested the people but
We hid and beat the general, please make the decision for us." Qiu Wu saw Qian Qianyi's guard of honor arriving and hurried over to complain.
Qian Qianyi frowned: "General Zhong is a little too reckless. He used thousands of troops to surround the Jinyi Guards. This is simply a rebellion."
It stands to reason that Zhong Shouyong had knelt down and confessed his guilt at this time, and asked the Qiange Department to forgive him. However, he was so careless that he did not throw Qian Qianyi away and continued to argue: "Qiange Department, we are just fighting back in self-defense. What crime?
Yes, you didn't see the ruthlessness of Qiu Wu who beat us..."
He kept chattering, and Qian Qianyi couldn't even finish the lines he had prepared. After listening for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted in a deep voice: "That's enough! Let's not forget about the beating.
The official asked you, Tangshan Hot Spring is under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County. How come it is your turn to arrest people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division? I heard that the arrests are all famous scholars. Don't you, General Zhong, know the rules of this dynasty? You have crossed the line.
He is good at enforcing the law and is good at arresting people. Do you think the military commander of the Five Cities is named Zhong?"
The words were very serious, which was no longer in line with Qian Qianyi's usual gentle demeanor, because he was indeed angry. Tangtang spent the night in the detention center, and he didn't know how he was tortured by those rough men. He sent the Jin Yiwei to rescue him.
, he actually searched the detention center but couldn't find anyone, which made him even more anxious. No one or anything in the world could make Qian Qianyi so anxious, except Tang Jingxiao.
Zhong Shouyong shrugged his shoulders and did not take Qian Qianyi's accusation seriously. He did not know Qian Qianyi's motive for "dropping in" and thought that Jin Yiwei was deliberately looking for a fight.
But what Qian Qianyi said next made Zhong Shouyong's heart move: "I want to ask you, where is the scholar captured from Tangshan Hot Spring yesterday?"
Zhong Shouyong immediately understood that Mr. Qian had passed by here specially, perhaps not because of the beating of Jin Yiwei, but because of those fair and tender scholars. This was troublesome. These scholars were indeed not in the detention center, but
He was taken away by Marquis Zhenwu with a warrant...
"Sir Qian, those scholars were involved in a major confidential case and were taken away by the Nanchang." Zhong Shouyong knew that he could not fight Qian Qianyi head-on, so he could only tell the truth. It would be of no use to hold on and say nothing.
It would also ruin the plan of suppressing Marquis Wu.
Tang Tang was actually taken away by Liu Ziguang. Qian Qianyi was so shocked by the news that he could not speak. A picture appeared in front of his eyes. Liu Ziguang, who was smiling obscenely, was pressing down on Tang Tang who was crying and ravaging him unscrupulously.
After venting his beastly desires, a large group of big men pounced on him and continued to torture Tang and Tang. Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't bear it anymore. He tried hard to control his facial muscles so as not to tremble, and said to his subordinates in a calm voice: "Get up and enter the palace.
."
Qian Qianyi knew that he could not go to the Nanchang Yamen to ask for the person in person. If he went there, it would only worsen the situation. All he could do now was to go to the palace to face the saint and let the emperor put pressure on Liu Ziguang in order to release him. Presumably the emperor would still have this face.
For him.
The sedan arrived at the Meridian Gate, Qian Qianyi handed the book in, and was allowed to enter the palace not long after. He hurried to the Qianqing Palace and met Huang Zongxi outside the palace gate. Huang Zongxi was a good friend of Tang Jingxiao, and Qian Qianyi recommended him to the palace.
He was one of the few people who knew about the relationship between Qian and Tang. After hearing about Tang and Tang, he and Qian Qianyi went into the palace to complain to Zhu Youxiao, saying that Huang Zongxi's cousin was arrested by Liu Ziguang.
, I hope the emperor can issue a pardon. The emperor favors Huang Zongxi, so there is no reason not to agree. He immediately asked eunuch Bingbi to write a handwritten edict using the seal of his study, and gave it to Huang Zongxi to take to Nanchang to file a petition.
.
Zhu Youxiao's handwriting is not a formal imperial edict, but it is still very useful for Liu Ziguang
This person was not allowed to get in, and the whole world only gave the emperor face. Huang Zongxi and Qian Qianyi took the handwritten letter to express their gratitude to the saint, and quickly rushed to the Nanchang Yamen outside the south gate.
As soon as he arrived near the south gate, Qian Qianyi's head, which had been burning with anxiety and anger, finally came to his senses. He thought that although Liu Ziguang was a slut, he was by no means a simple-minded person. There was no way he could irritate himself at this moment and make Donglin angry.
The Party was completely on the opposite side, and it made no sense to him to inflict violence against Tang and Tang. Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi decided not to go to Nanchang to mention the person in person, but asked Huang Zongxi to negotiate, and returned home to wait for good news.
When the sedan arrived at the door of the mansion, the housekeeper came over and whispered: "Master, Mr. Tang is here." Qian Qianyi felt a chill in his heart and quickly got off the sedan. He walked to the backyard study in three steps and saw Tang Jingxiao, who was dressed in white.
He was holding a folding fan in his hand and was sitting on a chair talking to Liu Rushi. There was no trace of abuse on his body.
