At dawn, a group of cavalry left the city gate and galloped westward.
The Nanjing Left Guard is one of the three guards guarding Nanjing City. Of course, there was some news about the melee last night, but there was no imperial edict or order from the Nanjing War Department, so they did not dare to act rashly.
When dozens of cavalry arrived, the entrance to the camp immediately became alert.
"Who is coming?"
Yuan Bin shouted on the horse: "I came with the order, open the door!"
When the guards heard the word "imperial edict", they all looked puzzled. Someone said: "Wait outside the camp gate, I will report it!"
"Bold, do you dare to block the imperial edict?"
Yuan Bin had no intention of stopping and led people to rush in.
The guard in front of the door saw this and hurried to intercept it.
"How dare you trespass..."
Once!
The bright embroidered spring knife was placed on his neck, and the man immediately shut his mouth.
Yuan Bin obviously had no patience and said coldly: "Open the door!"
The guard at the door had no choice but to open the camp door and let these people in.
There seemed to be some chaos in the camp. It was obvious that they had never thought that someone would dare to break into the camp.
At this time, a commander led people to come in a hurry.
"Who are you and why did you break into the military camp?"
Yuan Bin did not answer, but raised Huang Juan in his hand.
"Tell your commanders to come out and receive the order!"
The commander, Qian Shi, laughed loudly and said: "You dare to fake the imperial edict. This is a capital crime. Someone comes and takes him down!"
Everyone rushed forward, and the situation suddenly became tense.
Yuan Bin said calmly: "Who are you?"
"You care what I am..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the other party raising his hand, holding a short blunderbuss, with the black muzzle pointing at him.
This person is in a high position and can be regarded as someone who has seen the world. Nanjing Zuowei also has fire blunderbuss, but they are not so small, but they don’t know how powerful they are.
"I'll give you another chance to answer my question!"
"I...I...I am Qiu Wenwu, the commander of Nanjing Left Guard..."
Bang!
After the smoke passed, Qiu Wenwu lay on the ground with a blood hole in his chest and blood pouring out.
This suddenly frightened many people.
Some people subconsciously wanted to escape, while others raised their weapons.
Yuan Bin suddenly shouted: "Those who disobey the imperial edict will be killed without mercy!"
His tone is usually not loud, even a bit bookish, but this time he was full of energy, mainly because of his crushing momentum, which immediately frightened everyone present.
Soldiers, look at me and I look at you. The main reason is that these people have not received the imperial edict, and they suddenly don’t know what to do.
Moreover, who knows whether the imperial edict is true or false, but a person suddenly rushes over and says there is an imperial edict, and also ruins the command and control, what is this thing...
After all, there was still a sensible person who slowly knelt down and bowed down.
In this situation, if it were a true imperial edict, disobeying it would be punishable by death.
If it is fake, at most it will only lose face, which is better than losing one’s life...
Seeing someone taking the lead, everyone knelt down one after another. Under such a situation, even if some people were unwilling, they did not dare not to kneel down.
Yuan Bin raised his voice and said: "Imperial decree, the White Lotus Sect has rebelled, and I hereby order the Nanjing Left Guard, Nanjing Guard, and Nanjing Right Guard to go and put down the rebellion!"
This imperial edict is just one sentence, it is simple and clear, there is no gorgeous rhetoric, and there is no nonsense at all. Everyone can understand it.
So much so that everyone present was confused, is this really an imperial edict?
Yuan Bin put away the imperial edict in his hand, glanced around, and continued: "The emperor also said that anyone who has an affair with the White Lotus Sect should come forward and be given a lighter punishment. If not, that Qiu Wenwu just now is you.
The end!"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. It seems that we haven’t figured out the situation yet.
Yuan Bin stopped talking nonsense and asked: "Which one is the commander?"
After a long time, there is still no response.
Yuan Bin shouted again: "Who is the commander?"
Finally, someone said cautiously: "The commander...has gone to get a wife..."
Yuan Bin frowned and asked: "Who is Tongzhi?"
"Sir Tongzhi... went to have a wedding banquet..."
"What's your name and what's your position?"
"Humble Chen Weisong."
Yuan Bin looked at him and suddenly said: "From now on, you are the acting commander of Nanjing Zuowei. You will be given one day to investigate the internal White Lotus rebellion. Before tomorrow, go to the city to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion!"
"Ah?"
Chen Weisong opened his mouth wide, his face full of confusion.
"Qiu Wenwu, the commander just now, is from the White Lotus Sect!"
While talking, Yuan Bin threw over a confession sheet and asked: "Do you know the characters?"
"Recognize...recognize!"
Chen Weisong took it, glanced at it, and immediately took a breath of cold air.
Nanjing Zuowei actually managed to sneak into so many members of the White Lotus Sect, as many as hundreds of them.
At a certain moment, he had doubts about the authenticity of this confession, but he immediately gave up the idea.
This confession came together with the imperial edict, so we can't doubt the emperor, right?
Suddenly, his face became excited.
The commander is not here, the commander is not here, and the commander is in trouble, isn’t he going to become a prosperous person?
Chen Weisong seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and suddenly shouted: "Come here, arrest all the people on the list!"
The soldiers were still a little confused, but behind him, someone had already begun to move.
Although a small householder has limited power, he still has his own direct lineage.
These people are not fools. When one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. After all, they have been following Chen Weisong for so long. Today they are finally going to take advantage of it. If you don’t be active now, wait until later!
So, they held knives and went to arrest people according to the list.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people realized that maybe after today, Nanjing Zuowei will change drastically, so hurry up and act!
However, the faces of those on the list changed drastically, and they knew something was wrong. They immediately wanted to shout and pull out the knife from their waists.

Chen Weisong seemed to be a different person at this time, shouting: "Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
In front of him, many general banners, small banners, and even ordinary soldiers, all rushed to kill like chickens.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The battle ended quickly. Half of the more than a hundred people on the list were killed on the spot, and the rest chose to surrender.
As they said just now, if you take the initiative to admit it, you can still be treated leniently. If you surrender now, you can at least save a small life.
As for how to deal with it in the end, we can only wait for the result.
Chen Weisong had no expression on his face and ordered his subordinates: "Inform all the thousand households in the camp and the deputy thousand households to come to my barracks to discuss matters!"
…………
As dusk approached, a dozen fast horses came galloping towards us.
"Open the door!"
Suddenly a question came from the door: "Who is it?"
"Damn it, are you tired of living? I don't even recognize you?"
The one at the front was cursing because this person was Xiao Rongxing, the commander of the Nanjing Left Guard.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao. Please wait a moment and I will go and report."
"Notification?"
Xiao Rongxing looked confused. The commander was sleeping with Xin Na's concubine in his arms at home. I am the oldest here. Who are you reporting to?
"Damn it, are you looking for death? Open the camp door quickly!"
"I know, adults, don't be impatient. This is the rule. Young people don't dare to make decisions without authorization."
"Rules?" Xiao Rongxing asked doubtfully, "What rules? Could it be that since I and the commander are not here, Qiu Wenwu's grandson wants to rebel? Let him come out, I will tell him!"
"This... Sir Tongzhi, Qiu Qianshi did rebel, but... he can't come out now..."
"What...what?"
Xiao Rongxing was a little doubtful about life. He patted his face, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had drunk too much and was dreaming?
Inside the camp gate, someone came with a torch.
Xiao Rongxing became even more confused and asked: "What happened?"
At this time, someone climbed up the camp wall and said, "Who is coming?"
Xiao Rongxing stared at the man on the camp wall carefully. After a long time, he said: "Chen Weisong, what are you doing? Open the door quickly!"
Chen Weisong said: "No matter who it is, unless there is an imperial edict, the camp gate cannot be opened tonight!"
Xiao Rongxing said angrily: "Chen Weisong, you fucking don't want to live anymore? Take a closer look at who I am!"
"My lord, please calm down. Chen is following the imperial edict and I don't dare to neglect it!"
"Imperial decree?"
Xiao Rongxing burst out laughing suddenly, pointed at Chen Weisong and said, "Are you suffering from hysteria? Why didn't you say that the emperor appointed you to be the commander?"
Chen Weisong smiled and said: "As you said, Mr. Tongzhi, Chen is now the acting commander and is fully responsible for the left guard of Nanjing. There will be important military operations tomorrow. To prevent thieves from infiltrating, the camp door must not be opened!" Xiao Rongxing's face became solemn and he said: "What kind of military operation, why don't I know about it?"
"I have to ask Lord Tongzhi, why did you leave the camp without any reason?"
"What do you mean by leaving the camp for no reason? I went to congratulate the commander and have a wedding drink!"
"This is a military camp. To leave the camp, you need approval from the commander. May I ask, Sir Tongzhi, where is the approval?"
"I went to the commander's house for a wedding banquet. Where did you get the approval? Damn it... why didn't you tell the commander that he left the camp without any reason?"
"The commander also left the camp without any reason. Chen will settle the score with him."
Xiao Rongxing's face slowly darkened and he said: "I understand, you are not suffering from hysteria, you are going to rebel!"
Chen Weisong said: "If Lord Tongzhi is willing to admit that he made a mistake in front of the entire battalion and promise not to do the same again..."
"Bah!"
Before Chen Weisong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Rongxing.
I saw him yelling angrily: "Chen Weisong, you fucking wait, I will go and report to the commander right now, if I don't kill you today, I will take your surname!"
Chen Weisong said coldly: "I said, now Nanjing Zuowei has the final say, and you, a colleague, have to listen to me, don't you understand?"
"Listen to you? Haha...haha!"
After Xiao Rongxing laughed, he turned the horse's head and walked back.
Behind Chen Weisong, someone cautiously advised: "Master Bai...dai Commander, is it too much for us to treat Master Tongzhi like this?"
Chen Weisong turned around, stared into his eyes, and said slowly: "If he doesn't die, I will die. Which result do you want to see?"
The man's face changed and he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Please give the command, your Majesty!"
…………
At midnight, the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside the camp.
This time there were more people, about fifty or so, who were the servants brought out by the commander Si Fangbo.
He is said to be a servant, but in fact he is still a soldier in the guard.
Generally speaking, as an officer, he will select some capable people to keep beside him. Of course, these people still receive their food and salary, and they will basically not be deducted, and they will even be given more.
Over time, these people will become the chief's private soldiers. Their food and treatment are much better than ordinary people, and their fighting ability is very strong. However, they only work for the chief. As for the court, they don't care what they like!
Si Fangbo was sleeping with Xina's concubine in his arms when he was woken up by Xiao Rongxing. His face was unhappy, but when he heard what Xiao Rongxing said, he became even more unhappy.
Damn it, while he was marrying a concubine, Chen Weisong from a hundred households actually rebelled?
Speaking of which, it was not easy for Si Fangbo to marry a young wife. He had to be secretive. Because he was worried that the wife of the wife would come to visit him, he specially bought a property in a town outside the city. Therefore, he did not know about what happened in Nanjing last night.
.
At that moment, the concubine in her arms no longer felt fragrant. She hurriedly put on her clothes and headed back to the camp with her men.
"Chen Weisong, get out of here!"
The door creaked open. Si Fangbo looked at Xiao Rongxing doubtfully. What he probably meant was, didn't you just say that you wouldn't open the door without the imperial edict?
Xiao Rongxing was also a little embarrassed, and said: "This guy is smart enough to know that it is the commander who is coming in person, and he will wait for his subordinates to take him..."
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. In the camp, hundreds of people holding torches walked out of the camp gate and surrounded him.
The leader is none other than Chen Weisong from a hundred households who usually bows his head when he sees him.
Thinking of this, he became even more furious and stepped forward: "Chen Weisong, what do you want to do?"
Chen Weisong stood in front of him, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, even a bit joking.
"May I ask, Sir Commander, Sir Tongzhi, why did you leave the camp without any reason?"
Si Fangbo finally understood that what Xiao Rongxing said was true, and this kid had really rebelled!
"Chen Weisong, what am I doing when I leave the camp? Do I still need to inform you?"
Chen Weisong smiled faintly and said: "It's okay not to report it, it will be dealt with according to military law!"
"You dare?"
As Si Fangbo spoke, he took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to hit.
However, when his hand was stretched out in the air, it was grabbed by the opponent, and the force was not small.
"You dare to resist?"
Chen Weisong looked directly into Si Fangbo's eyes and said: "This is not resistance, it is to make you remember better!"
As he spoke, he rounded up his other hand and slapped Si Fangbo on the face.
Snap!
This slap was so crisp that everyone present was shocked.
Si Fangbo's old face was so twisted that it was almost deformed. He was not in pain, but felt unprecedented humiliation.
"How dare you hit me?"
Snap!
Another slap, the same half of the face just now.
"What's wrong with hitting you?"
Si Fangbo shouted almost crazily: "Come here, kill him!"
Once! Once! Once!
There were sounds of drawing swords everywhere, and the bright steel sword looked even more chilly under the light of the fire.
