Accompanied by Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Shen Lan, Zheng Hui, Li Chong, Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Zheng Xingxuan and others, Yang Yuanpu personally led more than 600 mounted guards and rushed to Yandangji overnight.
The Yandangji Manor was in a state of disarray. Not only were nearly three hundred slaves of all sizes gone, but the warehouses were also emptied. The stoves in the forging room and brewing room were all destroyed, as were the steamers, sail windmills and other equipment. It was dismantled and moved.
"Damn it, when did Han Qian's warrant transfer so many people away? You are all blind. No one thought of asking me or Mr. Shen Lan to verify such a big thing?" Yang Yuanpu kicked him out. The Yongchun Palace Prime Minister who was kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy kicked him to the ground to vent his inner worries. He looked very angry and said: This is so fucking real, will Master Han betray me?
Shen Lan and Zheng Hui both had a hint of worry in their eyes. After all, Jinling no longer had the leverage to check the Han family and his son.
Those who were reprimanded did not dare to defend themselves, so they could only kneel down and kowtow to beg for sin.
Li Chong also looked at all this with horror.
Han Qian fled to Xuzhou. They had such worries, but Han Qian absconded with so much supplies and threatened Zuo Si with so many elites. He was completely unexpected.
In addition to the salt and silk that Han Qian took away overnight from the Lanting Lane warehouse, there was also a batch of reserved soldiers and armor and other materials from the Yongchun Palace, which were taken away by Han Qian. In addition, Han Qian also bought them on credit from Taowu Collection in advance. With seven to eight thousand bags of polished rice and some supplies, the county prince's mansion lost at least eighty or ninety thousand yuan this time.
After confiscating the Feng family, although the county prince's palace received property worth millions of dollars at a time, it has already spent seven or eighty-eight dollars. Now to fill the vacancy this time, the living money that the county prince's palace can use will be reduced by almost 40%. one part.
Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Zheng Xingxuan and even Wang Lin and other people who did not know about the plot beforehand, their faces were very ugly when they thought about the heavy blow this incident had caused to the county prince's palace. They all thought that if they could not handle this escape well, After the incident, the third prince probably had no chance of being crowned king, right?
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, also looked livid.
When the Feng clan moved to Xuzhou, Zhang Ping was quite worried. Yao Xishui even came to test Han Qian's intentions. However, after Han Qian presented the "Book of Craftsmen of Heaven", Xinchang Hou Li Pu tended to believe that the Han family and his son were responsible for running Xuzhou. Zhou, it should be more to leave an escape route for himself. When the third prince is more and more hopeful of ascending to the throne, he does not think that the Han family and his son will let this "wonderful product" go.
I didn't expect Han Qian to escape so neatly.
"Most of the family members of General Zuo Si are still in the military mansion. It can be seen that most of General Zuo Si was only temporarily deceived by Han Qian and had no objections. At present, there should be only Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng and a few others are determined to defect with Han Qian," Xinchang Hou Li Pu gritted his molars and said to the third prince Yang Yuanpu, "Your Highness, please allow me to chase them quickly. Maybe I can catch them before they enter Tanzhou and intercept them. .”
In the view of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, most of Zuo Si's elite scouts and Zuo Si's children had no intention of defecting, but were just deceived. As long as they could catch up with the fleet fleeing westward, they would have the opportunity to mobilize those elite scouts and Zuo Si's disciples. The disciples revolted and returned to justice, trying to minimize the negative impact of this incident on the prince's palace and the layout of Wanhong Mansion over the years.
"Master Zheng, you immediately lead a hundred elite cavalry and chase along the river with my command. You must intercept Han Qian and the others." Yang Yuanpu ignored Xinchang Hou Lipu, even though Xinchang Hou Lipu was his father-in-law, but directly ordered Zheng Hui,
I secretly thought to myself that if the fleet encountered something unexpected and was delayed as it sailed westward, and was overtaken by my father-in-law, some Zuo Sizi generals and scouts would be incited to oppose Han Qian, wouldn't it be a big deal?
At this time, Yang Yuanpu ordered Zheng Hui to lead more than a hundred elite cavalry to pursue him along the river. If possible, he could coordinate with Han Qian without revealing any flaws, so that Han Qian could cross the sea and use the road in Tanzhou to establish a foothold in Syria.
There is currently no evidence that Han Daoxun, the governor of Xuzhou, is also involved, so this absconding is only an internal matter of the county prince's palace for the time being.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu has no official rank in the county prince's palace. He just took the initiative to ask for help out of desperation. When the third prince appointed others, he did not express any opinions.
Zheng Hui took the order from the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and Zheng Xingxuan led a group of cavalry to immediately mount their horses and chase him westward along the river.
…………
…………
At that time, it was said that a post station could travel five hundred miles a day. There were stations along the way where horses could be exchanged, and the horses could always move towards the destination at the fastest speed.
Zheng Hui led more than a hundred riders, traveling day and night, covering two hundred miles a day, which was already as high as the sky. Naturally, the distance between him and the fleet fleeing west became wider and wider.
It was snowy and rainy again after leaving Jinling. Although it was lightly snowing, it was difficult to march quickly. It was already three days before Zheng Hui arrived in Chizhou.
At this time, news came back from Jiangzhou that the westward escaping fleet had left Jiangzhou in the early morning of the day before and entered Ezhou. It was estimated that it had passed through Ezhou before nightfall yesterday and entered Yuezhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Tanzhou Jiedu Envoy Office.
Although there was a naval camp in Jiangzhou, by the time the message from Yima was received, the westward escaping fleet had already passed at full speed for a whole day and night. Apart from continuing to send messages to Ezhou, Jiangzhou's water camp had no purpose to catch up.
It was meaningless for Zheng Hui to continue to lead his team in pursuit. He could only rest temporarily at Liutingyi, thirty miles west of Chizhou City, and wait for further orders.
Zheng Hui led his troops to live in the post house and had no contact with Chizhou officials, but the Chizhou Governor's Mansion exploded as if the sky was falling.
It was his mother's birthday in two days. Han Junqi took leave in advance and rushed back to Chizhou with Han Duan and his wife and children to celebrate his mother's birthday. Then he rested for a few days at the Chizhou Governor's Mansion before returning to Jinling, but he did not expect that the Zifang Hall
The secret spy hurried to the Governor's Mansion to seek an audience, and unexpectedly brought shocking news that Han Qian had absconded.
It's as if the calm lake water was hit by a flying stone from the sky, causing the waves to surge!
Han Jun was sitting in the garden pavilion of the inner house, looking at each other with his father, Han Daoxun, the governor of Chizhou.
Outside the pavilion, light snow is falling.
Han Daoxun was stroking his beard, subconsciously tearing off the beautiful beard he was proud of for several days. Unconsciously, his brows were as wrinkled as a mountain.
Han Daoxun had no time to regret not sending a warship to intercept and search the Xuzhou boat gang when they crossed the border. What worried him at this time was that he didn't know how he would be implicated.
The third child and them have parted ways a long time ago, but even if the old father is gone, how can he explain to outsiders that the third child has nothing to do with them anymore?
Who would believe it?
Will His Majesty believe it, or will the Prince believe it?
The Han family only has 300 soldiers in Chizhou City, and Chizhou City is only 400 miles away from Jinling. He is far from qualified to stand on his own in Chizhou.
"The third child is too ruthless. He and his son want to destroy the Han family. They have no regard for blood ties at all!" Han Daochang walked into the garden with a broken face, as if the building was about to collapse.
Desperation filled his face, and he suppressed his voice and roared like a wounded beast, "Zheng Hui led more than a hundred fine cavalry, and did not continue to pursue westward, but entered Liuting Station..."
"..." Han Daoming waved his hand and motioned for his second brother to sit down and talk.
"You scoundrel, you've been hanging out in Jinling for more than a year, how come you didn't notice Han Qian's ambition at all?" Han Daochang looked at Han Duan sitting there with a dejected look on his face, kicked the legs of the chair off, and reprimanded angrily.
Han Duan unexpectedly threw a dog to eat shit, and rolled out of the pavilion. He looked up and saw his father was furious. He was afraid of being beaten again, so he knelt in the snow outside the pavilion and listened to the training.
It is said that Han Qian was not favored by Emperor Tianyou, and he was not rewarded for his great achievements in Xichuan, but no matter what, he was much more prestigious than him and Han Jun, and there were even some middle-level generals in the court who did not want to offend him.
, you have to greet Han Qian with a smile.
Under such circumstances, how could Han Duan be willing to go to Lanting Lane or Yandangji to find out the news?
After Han Qian ordered his men to kill Niu Erdan and act wildly in Chizhou City, Han Duan believed that Han Qian was a traitor and traitor, but he never expected that Han Qian would suddenly take away part of the property of the county prince's palace and abscond.
Xuzhou.
This grandson is really going to bring disaster to the Han family!
"Father," Han Jun's heart seemed to be suppressed by a mountain, as if he was trapped in a cage looking at the injured beast pierced with a sharp spear. He looked at his father Han Daoming with red eyes and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do?
Is good?"
Han Daoming swallowed hard and said to Han Daochang: "Second brother, you, Jun'er, and Duan'er will go back to Jinling immediately to see Niu Gengru, and bring us the deed of the farm in Liyang County and the deed of the bronze shop in Jinling City.
The copperware shop was given to Niu Gengru, and the village in Liyang County asked Niu Gengru to do some hard work and sent it to the Anning Palace, telling him that I would go to Jinling in two days to stand on a thorn bush to apologize..."
"Is it too dangerous for my brother to enter Jinling at this time?" Han Daochang asked in surprise, worried that Emperor Tianyou would have a sudden idea and arrest them all and put them in prison.
When the time comes, the Han family will not be able to explain their reasons clearly, but there will be countless people who want to add insult to injury and trample on them severely.
Isn't this a replica of the Feng family?
Perhaps one thing that is better than the Feng family is that Lao San and his son, who killed tens of millions of people, have fled to Xuzhou and established a foothold.
"Why don't we also go to Xuzhou?" Han Duan said.
"Do you have any brains? Even if you can go, do you think that if we go to Xuzhou, the father and his son will tolerate us?" Han Daochang grabbed a handful of white marble chess pieces on the stone table and slapped Han Duan in the face.
In the past, I was really confused by his stupidity. Zheng Hui led his cavalry not to continue going west, but to stay in Chizhou. What was it to prevent?
It is to prevent them from fleeing to Xuzhou too!
Han Daoxun waved his hand to stop the second father and son from messing around in the garden, and said: "The third prince trusts Han Qian very much, and secretly established the Jinyun Tower Zuosi, which is the Linjiang County Prince's Palace in addition to the Marriage Palace, the Inner Palace, and the Guards Army
The greatest authority outside the palace. This guy swept away Zuosi's belongings and fled with Zuosi's men. This was a huge blow to the third prince who had already aroused His Majesty's interest. I doubt that Zhao Mingting was unaware of Yandangji.
The anomaly over there is even more likely to allow this to come true..."
Han Jun thought for a while and vaguely understood what his father meant.
Such a big leak on the third prince's side can only show the incompetence of the third prince, Shen Yang and others. Not to mention the objections of the princes and ministers, Emperor Tianyou has most likely given up the idea of deposing his heir by this time.
The prince's side will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary of this incident, so the prince's side is only happy towards the Han family, without any hatred.
Once Emperor Tianyou gave up the idea of deposing his direct descendant, Anning Palace and the Crown Prince would have more say.
So if they wanted to be safe, they could only go to the Ning Ning Palace and ask the prince to help them speak and plead for mercy.
Even if his father is dismissed as the governor of Chizhou, it is still a hundred times better than having his family confiscated after death like Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou.
