Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 56 Chapter 56, all three groups were arrested, Li Guozhen knelt down and thanked Kaien

Deshengmen, the residence of the secret base of the group of four.

As time passed by, Zhou Kui was a little restless, walking back and forth in the room.

Wei Zaode couldn't help but said, "Master Guo should sit down and rest for a while, you are always wandering in front of the old man, which makes the old man feel a little flustered."

Zhou Kui snorted, sat down a little unhappy, and said, "What time is it?"

Cao Huachun said: "There are still two quarters of an hour (about 30 minutes) before Zishi."

Zhou Kui murmured, "Why is this time so long? It's really difficult."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly and said: "This is the last trace of darkness before dawn, isn't it?"

After Zhou Kui heard this sentence, he showed a rare smile: "Yes, it is really gratifying to think that all the old man's family property will be returned tomorrow!"

Wei Zaode looked at Zhou Kui, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Zhou, after all, you are His Majesty's master. Don't tell me you don't feel anything at all?"

Zhou Kui sneered, and said, "I have more daughters, how can I feel? Besides, the water splashed by a married daughter will be a big deal. In the future, I will find a way to send a daughter to King Chuang or his son." That's it. By the way, don't argue with the old man when the time comes."

Wei Zaode remained silent.

Cao Huachun looked at Wei Zaode coldly, and suddenly said: "Why, does Master Wei still have feelings for this Daming?"

Wei Zaode noticed the murderous intent faintly revealed in Cao Huachun's words, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm already sitting here, what do you think I can have feelings for Daming? I just... well, I don't know when the future is coming." What kind of future does Dashun have as an official?"

After listening to Wei Zaode's words, the other two were also silent.

After all, they really didn't know enough about Dashun and Li Zicheng, their new masters.

Cao Huachun was suddenly disturbed, stood up, and said: "Let's go out and see the manpower outside. Now that the incident is imminent, there must be no mistakes."

The other two didn't object, they just watched Cao Huachun leave quietly.

Cao Huachun walked out of the lobby and came to the back of the mansion. This place was originally a small garden, but now it is suitable to accommodate so many people.

Most of these people were sitting or standing, occasionally talking quietly, and the order was fairly orderly.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun felt relieved a lot.

At this moment, there was a loud bang from the gate, followed by someone's cry.

"Who actually trespassed here!"

Cao Huachun's heart tightened, someone broke in?

He subconsciously rushed towards the door.

Before he had taken two steps, he heard the voice of a young man who was somewhat immature but full of murderous intent.

"The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty accepted the imperial decree, everyone surrendered immediately, and anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy!"

Cao Huachun squatted down.

He is very familiar with this voice, and it often appears in his nightmares.

"Prince, prince? Why is he here?" Cao Huachun was dumbfounded.

A few screams came, and then a large number of officers and soldiers appeared in Cao Huachun's sight.

Looking at the crossbows and swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers, Cao Huachun's legs softened, he knelt down with a plop, and cried out at the top of his voice.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

……

The short but intense fight was over within 10 minutes.

In front of the well-prepared Ming government army, these hundreds of temporarily assembled mobs were no match at all. Some were killed on the spot, most chose to surrender, and a very few lucky ones escaped in the chaos, but they could not affect the overall situation.

Zhu Cihong sat in the lobby with a big horse and a golden knife, watching Cao Huachun, Wei Zaode and Zhou Kui who were kneeling in front of them, the pistols in their palms kept spinning, and grinned at the three of them: "I didn't expect that." ?”

Zhou Kui managed to maintain his composure, and said, "Prince, what does this mean? Are you not afraid that His Majesty will know about breaking into houses and killing people?"

Zhu Cihong laughed sarcastically: "My good patriarch, you still want to be tough at this time? Let me tell you, your conspiracy with Wang Huamin to dedicate the city to Li Zicheng has been exposed, you idiot!"

As soon as the name Wang Huamin was spoken, Zhou Kui and the other three turned pale.

Wang Huamin is not present now, but Zhu Cihong has accurately stated his name and all the plots of the four, which can only show that everything has indeed been exposed.

Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and said, "We are innocent, you are slandering me, this old man wants to meet the Holy Majesty and appeal for injustice!"

Zhu Cihong shook his head, and looked at Zhou Kui as if looking at an idiot: "Do you think I don't know what you think? You just want to delay time and wait for the spies you arranged at Deshengmen." Cooperate with the bandit army outside the city, right?

It's almost time now, once Deshengmen is captured, maybe Li Zicheng's bandit army will be able to enter the city to rescue you, right? "

Zhu Cihong threw out two questions one after another, and Zhou Kuiru was struck by lightning.

At this moment, Li Guozhen hurriedly walked into the hall, and cupped his hands to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, there are indeed spies arranged by these people at Deshengmen, and all of them have been captured and disposed of by the minister."

Li Guozhen's armor was still stained with a lot of blood, but it didn't look like his blood.

After listening to Li Guozhen's words, Zhou Kui suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The inside information of Deshengmen has been wiped out, how will the Chuangjun enter the city next?

It's over, it's over!

Not only Zhou Kui, Cao Huachun and Wei Zaode also looked miserable.

Zhu Cihong nodded to Li Guozhen, then stood up, walked in front of Zhou Kui and the others, and spoke coldly.

"Zhou Kui, you are the head of the state; Wei Zaode, you have been the chief assistant; Cao Huachun, you have been in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies.

In all fairness, Daming treats you well!But, how did you give back to Daming?In addition to betrayal, or betrayal!
Come on, take these three traitors back to the palace and let my father send someone to interrogate them! "

With a big wave of Zhu Cihong's hand, someone from Dongchang came in and dragged the three of them out.

Li Guozhen watched the three people being dragged away, wiped his sweat, and said to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, although I have had contact with these people, I definitely have no treasonous intentions!"

Zhu Cihong glanced at Li Guozhen with a half-smile, and said, "Uncle Xiangcheng, if you are really in cahoots with them, hehehe..."

Zhu Cihong's laughter immediately sent chills down Li Guozhen's spine, and at the same time he was extremely grateful.

At this time, Li Guozhen had already understood that Dongchang Fanzi was probably also secretly monitoring Li Guozhen!
If this is the case, once Li Guozhen gets involved, the final outcome will be the same as Zhou Kui and others.

Li Guozhen knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Why do you say it was Zhu Cihong who was kind?Because as long as Zhu Cihong is willing, Li Guozhen and the four-person group can be easily formed into a party. At that time, Li Guozhen and the four-person group will really be finished together.

Zhu Cihong looked at Li Guozhen with a slightly softer expression.

Although Li Guozhen's evaluation in the history books is actually quite controversial, at least he has passed this level.

No one is available right now, so let's use this Li Guozhen for the time being.

Zhu Cihong's tone softened a little, and he said lightly: "Uncle Xiangcheng, the bandit army will arrive soon, we should think about how to deal with this attack of the bandit army."

While speaking, Zhu Cihong's eyes flashed brightly.
