At the gate of Daxing County, Duan Tianming held his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist and stared at the houses of different heights in the city, with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
Before coming here, I learned from the servant of Li An's house that the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has about a thousand people.
And today, these thousand people must die.
At this moment, no one was passing through the city gate. After receiving the order to close the city, ordinary people had already gone home and closed the door. Even the ignorant children were pulled into the bed and stuffed in their mouths.
Eat it in one bite without making any noise.
"Da da da", a rapid sound of horse hooves came from far and near.
Duan Tianming couldn't help but turn around and look at the figure who was flying toward the official road, raising a cloud of dust.
The whole person was lying on the horse, and only a blue figure could be seen.
"Who dares to gallop outside the gate of Daxing County at this time?" Duan Tianming put his right hand on the handle of the knife, and the sharp weapon at his waist was ready to be unsheathed at any time.
As the horses got closer and closer, the pattern on the clothes of the man on the horse gradually became clearer. It vaguely looked like a flying fish suit with a blue background.
"Didn't the factory owner come here in person?" Duan Tianming couldn't help but his head was buzzing.
When Xiao Chen mobilized all the captains of the East Factory, the factory boss Lin Shangli happened to go into the palace to meet the emperor. He wanted to report, but was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so the Daxing Chamber of Commerce people fled after hearing the news.
However, if the matter is reported truthfully to the factory owner, Li An, the Minister of Punishment, will be implicated.
It's not that he's afraid of what the factory official will say. The key is that as the factory owner of Dongchang, Lin Shangli will report every detail to the emperor. If he accidentally reveals his words, it becomes unknown whether Li An, the Minister of Punishment, can continue to serve.
Just as I was thinking about how to report to the factory owner, the horse had already arrived in front of me.
A long horse's cry echoed in the empty official road. The horse's front hooves stood up more than ten feet high and stopped steadily in front of Duan Tianming.
On the horseback, it was Lin Shangli who looked angry.
"Duan Tianming, where is Xiao Chen?" Lin Shangli shouted loudly, but his eyes swept over the faces of more than a hundred people at the city gate behind him.
"Mr. Factory Master." Hearing Lin Shangli's roar, Duan Tianming hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Xiao Chen is searching for traces of criminals at the Daxing Chamber of Commerce."
"Collecting criminals? You let him go alone?" Lin Shangli was annoyed, breathing heavily.
"Sir, Xiao Chen ordered me to guard the city gate." Duan Tianming hurriedly replied.
"What's the use of guarding the city gate? There are more than a thousand people on the other side, so don't worry about him going alone?" Lin Shangli asked loudly.
"If I hadn't returned to Dongchang and found that most of the captains were not there, I wouldn't have known that you had transferred so many captains from Dongchang. How did I know that there were more than a thousand people in Dongchang? I went to Dongchang Prison in person
Du Shaoqin asked." Lin Shangli said angrily.
"Mr. Factory Master, something happened suddenly and you entered the palace again. We will..."
"How about you act on your own when I'm not here? Do you still have me, the owner of Dongchang Factory, in your eyes?" Before Duan Tianming could finish his words, Lin Shangli interrupted him directly.
"Sir, didn't you say that all the captains in Dongchang are controlled by Xiao Chen?" Duan Tianming knelt on one knee and said in a low voice without daring to raise his head.
"What's wrong with him controlling it? He's wearing purple, and officially he only has a thousand households in Dongchang just a few days after he took office. I'm the owner of Dongchang." Lin Shangli jumped off his horse when he heard Duan Tianming's retort, and rushed
He walked in front of Duan Tianming and raised his palm, but it didn't fall.
Duan Tianming did not dare to say anything, so he had to lower his head and let Lin Shangli lose his temper.
The more than a hundred Dongchang captains behind them all lowered their heads when they saw their factory boss was furious, staring at their toes, not daring to express their anger.
"According to Du Shaoqin, these people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce are the old subordinates of the King of Han. Will the King of Han give up after killing these people? Have you considered the consequences. Although the King of Han has been expelled from the capital, he must be the prince and the emperor.
The prince I once loved the most. Once he files a complaint with the emperor about this matter, will you be able to take on this responsibility, or will Xiao Chen be able to take it?"
The veins on Lin Shangli's forehead bulged with anger.
"But, they want to murder Xiao Yu first..." Duan Tianming muttered quietly.
"I went to Dongchang Prison. The whole story has been clear for a long time. Please don't explain it to me. Tell me how many captains of Dongchang were transferred this time." Lin Shangli asked angrily.
"Except those who are on duty and those who are stationed a little further away, all those who can be mobilized have been hoisted here. There are a total of 1,320 captains." Duan Tianming lowered his head and answered in a low voice.
Listening to Lin Shangli's roar, it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this action. Duan Tianming only hoped that he would delay for a while longer so that Xiao Chen could kill a few more people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, preferably all of them.
As long as the organization that was ready to attack Xiao Yu in the capital at any time was eliminated, at worst, he would be willing to plead guilty or be punished directly.
"What nonsense? You know that there are more than a thousand people on the other side, so you just took more than a thousand people into action in a hurry? Even if it's too late to go to other guards to borrow people, you can borrow two thousand captains from the Jinyi Guards under my banner, Lin Shangli.
You should be able to borrow it, right?" Lin Shangli clasped his hands behind his back and looked angrily at the already quiet street inside the city gate, sulking.
Duan Tianming couldn't help but raise his head, with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Mr. Factory Master, aren't you here to ask us to withdraw our troops and return to the camp?"
"Withdraw troops, what kind of troops should be withdrawn?" Lin Shangli lowered his head and looked at Duan Tianming, who was full of confusion. "Attempting to commit murder in the capital is a capital crime. I think you came to arrest the criminals and brought too few people."
Hearing what Lin Shangli said, Duan Tianming stood up from the ground with a playful smile: "Master Factory Lord, don't worry. With Xiao Chen's skills, there is absolutely no problem in taking down these people. At most, they are a little tired. You see, this Daxing
There is no shelter around the county, and the wind is biting. Why don't you go back first and wait for our good news?"
"Reply, what reply? I'm here to hold on, you guys hurry up and try to leave no one alive. Afterwards, just charge them with concealing weapons and attempting to commit murder in the capital." Lin Shangli said.
Duan Tianming chuckled: "Mr. Factory Master, you came all the way on horseback just to take the blame for us?!"
"I am the owner of Dongchang Factory. If I don't take the blame, who will take the blame? Stop talking nonsense and go help Xiao Chen. Be more agile." Lin Shangli said.
"Yes." Duan Tianming responded and left quickly.
The hundred or so captains looked at Duan Tianming and then at Lin Shangli, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Leave half of them to continue guarding the gate, and the others will follow Duan Tianming. Remember, once you take action, kill them all."
If you dare to touch Xiao Chen's brother, you are so full that you are so full.
Staring at the gate of Daxing County, Lin Shangli thought to himself.
