Xie Ming

Chapter 311: The Army Approaches the Governor's Office

Xiao Jingchuan used ruthless means, and in a short while, all the ruffians in front of Mingyue Tower were wiped out!

And Li Benshen in white also had his hands and feet completely crippled!

Because Crown Prince Zhu Cilang was here, and had just got off the carriage when he was also harassed, so for a moment Xiao Lang was facing his nephew Gao Jie of Fengyang, and it was not easy for him to make decisions on his own!

So, seeing that the chaos was cleared up, Xiao Lang led the team and Li Benshen to the front of the prince's carriage to ask for instructions!

"General Xiao Jingchuan pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I failed to defend myself just now, and the prince was frightened! I deserve death!"

Xiao Jingchuan walked forward a few steps, approached the curtain on the side of the carriage, bowed, clasped his fists, and spoke politely.

"Well, forget it!"

"It's not your fault, and I'm fine!"

"Have all the Jiangbei soldiers who caused the trouble been dealt with?!" Zhu Cilang replied calmly from behind the curtain.

"Oh, Your Highness, those ruffians are really despicable!"

"Just now, the last general charged into the battle formation and wiped them out!"

"The only person left is Li Benshen, who calls himself Fengyang Gao Jie and the nephew of Gao Zongzhen!"

"Due to the situation in Fengyang Town, I would like to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to decide on the specific punishment!"

Xiao Jingchuan responded in a proper manner.

Upon hearing this, the prince was very pleased.

"Yea, very good!"

"Cough cough!"

As he was speaking, Zhu Cilang (the Crown Prince) lifted a corner of the side curtain, covered his mouth with a white silk scarf and coughed softly, then tilted his head to look over!

Seeing this, Xiao Lang understood what this meant, that this person wanted to see Li Benshen face to face, so he quickly raised his hand to greet him.

"Changting, come and bring that fellow Li Benshen here!" Xiao Ling.

"Yes!" Chang Ting responded, and then he and Qin Jing held the young master Li in white on both sides and walked closer.

The prince did not see the person, but as he approached, he smelled the bloody smell on him!
Zhu Cilang frowned, looked out the window, and looked again!
Just looking at Li Benshen at the moment, he is already mentally confused, and he is incontinent and urinating. It is so miserable and even disgusting!

The prince was a noble, and although he had been accompanying the army for more than two months, it was inevitably hardship, but had he ever seen such a bloody scene? !

After taking a look, he suppressed the churning in his stomach and then began to dry heave repeatedly. He quickly lowered the side curtain of the car in disgust!
Xiao Lang was outside and heard a few more coughs coming from the inner room. He thought that it was Li Benshen who had shown up and offended the prince, so he hurriedly asked and apologized!
"Ah, Your Highness, is everything alright?!"

"I was afraid that this man might hurt someone again with a firearm, so I attacked him more harshly when I charged into the battle!"

"Break his limbs!"

"I didn't expect him to be like this and offend His Highness again!"

"The general deserves to die!"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness! Forgive me!" Xiao Lang bowed and said.

"Ahem, ahem."

"Uh, no, it doesn't matter!"

"The scene just before I went downstairs, I was in the team, so I had to watch it too!"

"The incident at Mingyue Tower was of a heinous nature, and those soldiers involved deserved death!"

“As for Li Benshen?” When he spoke of this, Zhu Cilang paused slightly.

"Forget it!"

"It's useless if it's useless!"

"General Xiao, this is causing unnecessary trouble. I think this place is not a place to stay for long!"

"We should take our troops and march quickly to the Jinan Prefecture Government Office!"

"Take Li Benshen with you as well!"

"When the four towns come to discuss the matter, I will have my own opinion!" The prince said, setting the tone for the current situation and urging the combined army to set off.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang also took it seriously. He nodded frequently and responded to the order.

"Yes!"

"Your Highness is right!"

"I obey your command and will set off now!"

After saying this, all the personal guards in the front row, along with Xiao Jingchuan, mounted their horses again and marched eastward together.

The beginning of the Chen time (15:)!

Xiao Lang led the troops to the center of the city, turned north, and entered the West County Lane. After less than a hundred steps, the Governor's Office was prominently displayed in front of the lane.

"Uu——"

"Stop!" Xiao Lang waved his hand while speaking, stopping the queue.

"Old Xiao, is your right arm okay?!" After coming out of Mingyue Tower, Zhizhong had been accompanying the prince's carriage to be on the safe side, so he had no chance to communicate with Xiao Lang.

At this moment, the queue suddenly heard a sound and he rushed forward on horseback, so he could be questioned.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang also smiled.

"Haha, it's just a minor skin injury, it's nothing serious!" Xiao Hui.

"You better not be careless. It's best to call a military doctor to check it out later!"

"There's no guarantee that Li Benshen wouldn't tamper with the bullets!"

"It's better to be safe than sorry, and being safe is the best!" Zhizhong Cao expressed his deep concern.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan appreciated it and nodded in response.

Suddenly, while Xiao and Qiu were talking, they heard someone arguing and quarreling at the gate of the Governor's Office nearby.

"You bastard!"

"You bastard!" In front of the government office, a short and fat man in a green official robe stood with his hands on his hips and cursed.

"Hey! Are you looking for trouble?!"

"Who are you scolding?" There seemed to be a few guards on the other side of the door, shouting at him.

"Ha! Who are you scolding? I'm scolding you!"

"I am the Associate Director of Grain Administration of Jiangning! Appointed by the imperial court, I am a fifth-rank official!"

"This time, we are under the order of Nanjing's Minister of War, Qiu Weizhen, to transport grain and grass here!"

"The grain and fodder had not even been stored in the warehouse before they were looted by Liu Zeqing's gang of bandits!"

"Such a big deal!"

"You Huang Degong, do you think Huang Zongzhen will take care of it or not?!"

"This is a serious matter, do you understand?!"

"You, get out of here, I don't want to bother with you anymore!"

"I have to meet your Huang Zongzhen!"

"Did you hear that?!"

"Get out of the way!" the short and fat man in green robe shouted loudly. Although he was wearing the uniform of a civil servant, his demeanor was very much like that of a martial artist, which was quite funny to see.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Seeing this man coming rudely, stretching out his short and thick arms, and trying to squeeze into the door, the doormen simply pushed him out!

"Go! Go! Go!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Just you?! You still want to force your way in!"

"Open your grasshopper eyes and look carefully!"

"The person living here is not someone else, but Mr. Huang, the general of Chuzhou!"

"You are still... haha, you are a fifth-rank official!" The doorman sneered, his words mocking and ridiculing.

"What a great authority!"

"I bother!"

"Fuck!"

"Stick your back to us?!"

"Why don't you go out and ask around?"

"In our Jiangbei Chuzhou army, from the general commander down, there are generals, lieutenant generals, garrisons, and generals of various routes, a total of dozens of people!"

"Who among those who come in and out of the government office every day doesn't have a higher rank than you, the one wearing a green robe?!"

"I've never seen anyone dare to talk to me like that!"

"You have chicken feathers stuck behind your butt, why are you pretending to be so high-profile!"

"roll roll roll!"

"I told you earlier that Gao Zongzhen doesn't have time to see you today!"

"If you know what's best for you, get the hell out of my sight!"

"If you don't leave now, I'll call the garrison out!"

"Humph!"

"When the time comes, even if you want to leave, you won't be able to leave in one piece!"

[In the Ming Dynasty, the official uniforms of civil and military officials of different ranks were differentiated in shape and color! 】

[Ranks 1 to 4: scarlet robes (red); Ranks 5 to 7: blue robes; Ranks 8 and 9: green robes. ]

[Jiangning Grain Road Co-governor (rank five), the color of the green robe is just right for him! ]
