Song Mingyue

Chapter 206
Haha~
In front of the gate of Cheng Mansion, more than a dozen guards in brocade clothes were carrying huge logs, and roared in unison, sending a final blow to the already crumbling gate of Cheng Mansion.

bang~
With an earth-shattering sound, the gate of Cheng's mansion collapsed and hit the ground fiercely, sending dust flying.

Zhao Hao swung his long sword: "Kill!"

咴咴咴~
More than [-] white stile soldiers took the lead in filing in with their horses, weapons in their hands held high, and charged into the mansion.

When the servants waiting at the gate of the mansion saw this situation, they dropped their weapons in fright and fled desperately, hating their parents for losing two legs.They are just eating and drinking, as long as their brains are not flooded, there is no way Cheng's life will be lost.

Most of the generals and slaves who were guarding the courtyard wall were scattered by a crossbow arrow, and only a small number of people were still guarding the wall. Now they heard that the gate of the mansion was broken, and they also scattered like birds and beasts.

Even those generals who are guarding the courtyard have some martial arts skills, but they are just showing off in front of civilians. In front of real soldiers and horses, wanting to resist in the corner is simply looking for death.

Just like that, [-] white stile cavalry entered Cheng Mansion unimpeded all the way, and went straight to the front hall of Cheng Mansion.

That Cheng Jie was dubious about the steward's words. In his opinion, not to mention his strong background and strong strength, even if he was just an ordinary businessman, it was impossible for Zhao Hao to attack his house like destroying a city. At most, he was just besieging and intimidating That's all.So after he heard the urgent report from the housekeeper, he ran out of the front hall, wanting to see what happened, and then he saw an incredible scene.

A group of tall and strong soldiers, with bright clothes and angry horses, holding shining knives and guns, rushed towards the front hall like a whirlwind.

Cheng Jie was stunned for a moment, rubbing his eyes vigorously, unable to believe the facts in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and was hurriedly dragged back into the hall by the housekeeper.

hula la~
More than [-] white stile soldiers scattered in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, they surrounded the front hall, making it impenetrable.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao, surrounded by Wu Song, Fang Baihua and others, came proudly.

Seeing Zhao Hao's arrival, all the Jinyi guards moved out of the way, Zhao Hao got off his horse and strode in.

In the hall, everyone in the Cheng residence was trembling, their faces pale, as if the end was approaching, and Cheng Jie was even more lost in spirit. There was no trace of the arrogance before, but he just looked at Zhao with a puzzled face. Hao, it is obvious that the accident is too great, and this guy is still in the fog, at a loss.

Zhao Hao stood in front of Cheng Jie with a murderous look in his eyes.

Finally, Cheng Jie finally came to his senses, and shouted hissingly: "Shou'an Hou, as an imperial envoy, you forced your way into private houses and killed innocent people indiscriminately, is there any law for you?!"

Zhao Hao looked at Cheng Jie quietly, and suddenly smiled, bright as a spring flower: "Cheng Jie, you secretly hid crossbow arrows, soldiers of Xuyang, intending to rebel, the crime is too late. This imperial envoy led the troops to quell the rebellion, broke through the den of thieves, and came here to capture You rebellious minister and traitor, if you are sensible, you can cut yourself with a knife, and maybe you can leave a whole body!"

Zhao Hao's speech was very slow, and his voice was surprisingly calm, but to Cheng Jie, every sentence was undoubtedly like being struck by thunder, and it exploded in his ears.

Cheng Jie's eyes were red, and he pointed at Zhao Hao hysterically and shouted: "Slander, you are slander, I want to go to Beijing to sue!"

Zhao Hao laughed again, and his smile was full of sarcasm and pity: "Conspiracy is a serious crime, and there is no forgiveness for punishment. This imperial envoy holds Shangfang's sword, so you can cut it first and then play it! Old official Cheng, you won't survive tomorrow, go to the underworld to complain to Lord Yan Luo go."

After speaking, he drew his sword and pointed it at Cheng Jie.

Facing the icy Longquan sword, Cheng Jie finally collapsed completely, his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his voice became very distressed: "Master Imperial Envoy, this old servant made a mistake. ... Please also raise your hands high and let the old slave go, the matter of selling grain is entirely up to the imperial envoy, and the old slave will never dare to object."

Zhao Hao said lightly, "Get up."

As if being pardoned, Cheng Jie finally heaved a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, hunched over, and stood with hands down, looking pitiful, but a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

With a flash of silver light, it went straight to Cheng Jie's chest.

puff~
Cheng Jie only felt a pain in his chest, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, covering Zhao Hao's whole body.

The Longquan sword was inserted straight into Cheng Jie's heart, and protruded through his back, revealing a bloody tip of the sword.

Cheng Jie stretched out his hand to grab the blade, and just about to say something, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and then looked at it with difficulty, his eyes full of despair, confusion, and fear...

"Why...kill me? You and I have no grievances...no enmity...but...only...just...sell...sell...food...and...a few...small things..."

Zhao Hao's expression became extremely cold, and he looked at Cheng Jie viciously, and said viciously: "You colluded with a traitor, and most of the 300 million stone disaster grains were embezzled by you, and you hoarded them to drive up grain prices. How could I spare you if you died of greed? Your life is your life, isn’t the life of those people who starved to death alive?”

Zhao Hao's voice was impassioned, and his voice echoed throughout the hall. After speaking, Cheng Jie twisted the sword in his hand, and blood spurted from Cheng Jie's mouth. He leaned back and fell slowly, with eyes full of unwillingness. Do not rest in peace.

Ah ~
In the hall, a group of female family members of the Cheng family screamed in fright, as if they had seen a ghost. Cheng Qiang, Cheng Feng and his son were even more frightened, their faces were shocked, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

In the west of Beijing, the head of the Cheng family, who said the same thing and was courteous even to the transfer envoy, was killed in the hall like a pig but a dog. A huge panic surged in the hearts of the Cheng family father and son. Cheng Feng, who is bullying women and forcing women into prostitution, is so frightened that he loses control of his feces and urine.

Zhao Hao slowly retracted his sword back into its sheath, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cheng Jie has ulterior motives and conspired to rebel, and he has been killed by this imperial envoy. Take the Cheng family father and son down, and put them in prison. The rest will be dismissed immediately without questioning them!" "

Several Jin Yiwei stepped forward, grabbed the Cheng family father and son like eagles catching chickens, and pushed them out of the hall.Afterwards, the rest of the female relatives and servants rushed out immediately as if they had received an amnesty.

Zhao Hao turned around and shouted to Wu Song: "Erlang, search the Cheng Mansion immediately, and confiscate all property except for the five tolls paid to each of the servants of the Cheng Mansion, to be used as funds for disaster relief."

"Here!"

"Liang Hongyu!"

"exist!"

"Send people to seal up all the grain shops of Cheng's family, count the rice grains, record them in the account books, and distribute grains on the spot for disaster relief!"

"As ordered!"

At this moment, an anxious voice came from outside the hall: "Young Master, Young Master, don't mess around, don't mess around..."

Zhao Hao turned around suddenly, and saw Xu Churen rushing in like rolling and crawling, as if he was on fire.

Then, Xu Churen made a strange move, and saw him standing straight at the entrance of the hall, like a wooden stake, motionless, his eyes full of inconceivable expressions.

Zhao Hao wiped his hands on the official robe indiscriminately, and after drying the blood on his hands, he said unhurriedly: "Mr. , published a list and announced to the whole city that Cheng Jie secretly hid weapons, raised private soldiers, plotted rebellion, was seized by Jin Yiwei and suppressed. If you don’t ask, don’t panic, the people. Second, I will draft a memorial to report to the officials about Cheng Jie’s rebellion against the imperial envoy to suppress the rebellion, and send it to the capital in an expedited eight hundred miles.”

Xu Churen had a dumbfounded expression on his face, as if he didn't hear what Zhao Hao was saying at all.After a long time, he turned around and asked Zhao Hao blankly, "Kill...Kill?"

Zhao Hao: "Kill it!"

"died?"

"died!"

Xu Churen's eyes widened, he pointed at Zhao Hao, and said angrily: "You care about human life, it's just..."

Xu Churen seemed too angry to speak, so he didn't continue.

Zhao Hao said indifferently: "What is it?"

Xu Churen finally came back to his senses, and said loudly: "It's so satisfying!"

Hahaha~
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, followed by Xu Churen laughing too, the two of you pointing at me, I pointing at you, laughing out of control, tears came out.

After a while, Cheng Jie's body was carried out, except for Zhao Hao and Xu Churen in the hall, only Fang Baihua and a group of confidant Jin Yiwei were left to guard.

Xu Churen looked at Zhao Hao, with a look of admiration on his face, and said emotionally: "I think my bones are strong enough, I don't fear the sky, I don't fear the earth, I don't think that although you are young, you are brave enough by Xu."

Zhao Hao raised his head and said in a slow voice: "Ben Hou still said the same thing, Gou-Li-GUO-Jia-Life-Death-Yi,************, kill one person and be saved With millions of souls, even if Zhao Hao takes his life, he will die with no regrets!"

Xu Churen's eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed deeply to Zhao Hao: "Your Majesty, on behalf of Beijing West Road, has millions of dawns, thank you, Young Master!"

……

Du Mansion, study room.

Du Gongcai sat on the grand teacher's chair with a pale face, stared blankly at Yang Yu, and said in a broken voice, "Did you really kill him?"

Yang Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Cheng Jie was killed, and his head hanged at the east gate. Cheng Qiang and his son were imprisoned and tortured to extract a confession. , the Cheng family's rebellion is confirmed."

Du Gongcai was surprised again: "Where did you get the armor?"

Yang Yudao: "Over a hundred pairs of armor were found in the secret room of Cheng's family. The style is completely different from the style of the armor of our imperial army. I'm afraid this little imperial envoy has already planned this matter."

Du Gongcai shuddered all over his body. Even in this dog days, his back felt chills. He murmured: "If you are ruthless, you will be afraid of death. If you are ruthless, you will die. This is a young man, and he doesn't care about the consequences. Don't be hard-pressed." touch..."

Yang Yu was also frightened for a while, sighed for a while, and said: "All the property of Du's family has been confiscated by the Jinyiwei, and all the grain stores in all states and counties have been sealed up, and they have provided food for disaster relief on the spot. The rest of the grain merchants, hearing about the Cheng family, are afraid of disaster. They are selling grain at low prices one after another, and many grain merchants have left the west of Beijing to avoid disaster.”

Du Gongcai didn't speak, and said thoughtfully: "The Du family's assets are in the millions, plus 150 million stones of rice and grain, the famine on the two roads in the west of Beijing can be alleviated. It may not be a good thing... Otherwise, this little imperial envoy You can't get credit, you and I will be implicated sooner or later and be harmed by it."

Yang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Your Excellency is right. Zhao Hao has always been very happy with his achievements. If he doesn't get his achievements, he will devour people around like a beast. Now that he has killed Cheng Jie and solved the disaster, he has made great achievements. It is a good thing for us to stop checking the whereabouts of the relief money and food. Besides, Zhao Hao killed Cheng Jie, which is a hornet's nest. Husband Chancellor and Yu Dazai are Cheng Jie's close relatives, how can he let it go? Zhao Hao confiscated all of Cheng Jie's property, including rice, and the interests of the clan were also involved here, so how can those princes and county kings be easy to mess with? We just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and we are free."

Du Gongcai also showed joy on his face, his brows were slowly relaxed, and suddenly he remembered something, and immediately it turned from sunny to cloudy, and his brows were furrowed.

"What happened to that?" Duke Du asked.

Yang Yu's expression also became serious: "There is no movement yet. The guy stole something and disappeared out of thin air. I sent people to search all over a hundred miles, but there was no news."

The gloom on Du Gongcai's face became more and more intense: "The thing hasn't been found for a day, and the official will not be at peace for a day... If it happens to fall into Zhao Hao's hands, you and I will die without a place to die!"

Yang Yu said with relief: "The law does not blame the public, so many officials are implicated, how dare he kill them all?"

Du Gongcai said coldly: "What do you know? I don't kill scholar-bureaucrats. Once the incident happens, those who come from the imperial examination may be spared. However, neither you nor I entered the imperial examination. Once that thing falls into Zhao Hao's hands, you and I will die by Zhao Hao's sword!"

Yang Yu's face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "We will send more people tomorrow, and dig three feet to find it!"
