Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"This……"

"Xin, King Xin, didn't Lord Inspector say that he is dead?"

"Could it be... a ghost?"

"I think he might be a fake!"

After hearing Chu Xuanzhao's words, everyone was a little hesitant. They didn't put down their weapons as Chu Xuanzhao said, but they didn't step forward either. They looked around for a while, hesitating.

They have followed the governor for many years, and they have long been accustomed to respect the governor's order. At this time, the governor was killed, and Chu Xuanzhao declared his identity, and they realized that the governor was not the biggest. After leaving Yingzhou, there were princes and emperors.

But the other officials in Yingzhou are still alive. If they retreat now, will those people let themselves go?

In fact, those officials are just as afraid of Liu Mao's power as they are. Once Liu Mao dies, he will not be able to protect himself, so how can he care about the choice of the government soldiers?

It's just that these government soldiers are only from poor backgrounds, and they are afraid of being exhausted, so they are like this.

Seeing this, Shen Qingjun raised his hand and waved it out of the window. Immediately, dozens of men in black held sharp knives and sealed up the government soldiers. For two paragraphs.

The government soldiers were terrified and huddled together in one place, many of them dropped the weapons in their hands on the ground.

Chu Xuanzhao raised the head in his hand, "This king will say it again, if you disarm, you will not be killed, and anyone who violates the law will be killed immediately!"

"Please forgive me, King Xin, I will obey the order of King Xin." The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of the army, and he took a step forward and bowed and put the weapon in his hand on the ground.

As soon as he came out, the remaining people who still held weapons followed him and dropped their weapons, kneeling on the ground together, "Follow the order of King Xin!"

"Okay, as long as you turn your back on it, this king doesn't need to pursue your crimes. From now on, you will obey my orders."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness for not killing me, only His Highness's order is to follow!"

"You two, go and hang Liu Mao's head on the gate of the mansion."

"Yes."

…………

"Yuhong, have you gained anything in the mansion these days?" Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun were sitting in the main hall of the governor's mansion at this time, and Yuhong had already tidied things up.

"Reporting to the landlord, Yuhong discovered that Liu Mao had a booklet specially recording officials' exchanges and gifts, which he hid in the dark compartment under the desk in the study. As for the others, Yuhong has not been in the mansion for a long time, so she has not found it yet."

"Okay, you have made a contribution to this matter. When you return to Lingzong, just say that I said it, and I am very satisfied with you. He will naturally know what to do."

"Thank you, Yuhong, the host."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes."

"Qingjun, look, can we collect the net about the Yingzhou matter tomorrow?" Chu Xuanzhao turned to look at the man in white.

He hadn't seen him in this suit for a long time.

Since revealing the other party's identity that night on the way back to Beijing, Shen Qingjun always wears Tsing Yi or white ink-dyed soft veil, no matter in the palace or in the Yingzhou branch, and most of them are more elegant and soft clothes .

He also discovered that Shen Qingjun did this on purpose, this clear and cold white dress seemed to always be worn when he wanted to kill someone, just like the silver mask, it was the symbol of the Pavilion Lord of Chenyin Pavilion.

He knew that this white dress was really in line with Shen Qingjun's inner preferences.

"En. Tomorrow they see the governor's head, so naturally it's up to us to take action." Shen Qingjun replied.

"Yes. By the way, Qingjun. Why aren't you wearing a mask?" Chu Xuanzhao was really just curious, nothing else.

"Is my face ugly?" Shen Qingjun asked indifferently, it was obviously a joke, but it made people feel that he was very serious.

"...!"

how come!Chu Xuanzhao stared at his handsome face like jade, and couldn't help moving his Adam's apple secretly. If this face was ugly, then everyone else would become ugly ghosts.

"No! I'm just curious, aren't you afraid that those government soldiers will reveal your identity?" Chu Xuanzhao hastily denied.

"One moment is not the other. This time I'm with you. It's useless to cover up the matter of identity. If I don't cover it up, the group of government soldiers may not know who I am. If I cover it up, they won't be able to hide it. Although they still don't know the mask Who does this person look like, but what about you? How do you explain to others that you and the Pavilion Master of Chenyin Pavilion are together?"

"That's true. But there is no guarantee that someone will recognize you as the master of the Chenyin Pavilion. After all, those men in black look like full-time killers." Chu Xuanzhao was still not at ease.

"It's okay, I didn't make a move, maybe it's negligible." Shen Qingjun didn't care too much, if someone really saw it, he just killed it.

"Well, okay. Qingjun, it's not midnight yet, why don't you go to rest first? There are still quite a lot of rooms in the Governor's Mansion, anyway, the arrest will have to wait until tomorrow."

"Alright. Your wounds haven't healed yet, so you can go too. Maybe there will be something that needs your help tomorrow."

"Ah."

…………

"what--"

Si Gonglang, who came to the governor's mansion early in the morning, just walked to the door when he was frightened by the head hanging under the plaque and sat on the ground paralyzed.

Chu Xuanzhao led the soldiers out of the governor's mansion, "I am the king who is patrolling the herds on behalf of the heavens. The officials in Yingzhou have done a lot of evil. The governor was killed last night. The rest of the officials, the fugitives and the traitors, will be killed without mercy!"

"Arrest him!"

"Yes!"

Si Gonglang trembled with fright, and struggled vigorously in the hands of the soldiers, "My lord..., my lord?! You are a ghost! You are a ghost! Don't catch me, I didn't ask people to kill you, not me!"

Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, when did I say you killed me?No, I am clearly alive and well!I really don't know how this courage has followed Liu Mao for so many years.

He didn't know that Si Gonglang was the one who sent someone to intercept and kill Chu Xuanzhao at that time, and the person he sent was also one of the people who saw him "dead" with his own eyes. Wang Shi was immediately terrified.

"Put it down and put it in the governor's prison!"

"All the government soldiers obey the order and immediately arrest the officials on this list. You can obey the orders of the black-clothed leader in everything. Once any officials, big or small, try to escape, they will be killed on the spot!"

There are 20 officials in Yingzhou, from the governor to the county magistrate, and 18 are on the list. Although the other two are not in the same boat, they are also inactive. They have turned a blind eye to the behavior of these people all year round.

For this, Chu Xuanzhao expressed his understanding. In this Yingzhou, it is extremely rare to be able to avoid collusion.

"Yes!"

…………

In just three days, eighteen officials were hunted down by Chu Xuanzhao with lightning speed, two of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining 16 were imprisoned.

"Qingjun, we can go back to Beijing, and we can hand over the rest of the matter to Beijing Central."

"Well. The officials of Yingzhou have already dealt with it. King Teng still doesn't know what happened in Yingzhou. We can pass through Zheya Corridor before King Teng notices. As long as we pass Zheya Corridor, even if King Teng gets the news, he can't do anything about it." Let's do it." Shen Qingjun had expected the current situation a long time ago, which made Chu Xuanzhao cut the mess quickly.

Emperor Yuan could tolerate the two kings vying for power and checking and balancing each other, but he absolutely could not tolerate brotherly murder and murder.

When Chu Xuanzhao had an accident when he came, he could push it to the officials of Yingzhou or the natural danger of Zheyalang, but when he returned, the officials of Yingzhou were defeated.

Therefore, King Teng could only allow Chu Xuanzhao to make contributions this time. As for his original recommendation, it was undoubtedly shooting himself in the foot.

"Well, at that time, you and I will go back to Beijing to report the matter first, and the people in your cabinet will monitor the government soldiers and escort the officials. As long as we return to Beijing to present evidence and report the matter, everything is a foregone conclusion. It has nothing to do with us whether to send someone to respond to the government soldiers. No matter how much trouble King Teng wants to cause, it will be too late." Chu Xuanzhao is now temporarily relieved.When I got back to Beijing, I could stand in front of people completely, it would be another storm.

………………

On the same day, Chu Xuanzhao gave the order to escort the officials of Yingzhou, and he planned to return to Beijing with Shen Qingjun first.

"Qingjun, can you give me your arm knife?"

Chu Xuanzhao felt that their arm knives were very useful and easy to hide. The arm knives did not come out of the sheath, and were only less than half the length of an arm. They were usually stored in their sleeves, so they would not delay their movements.

Besides, his jade fan is broken, even if Shen Qingjun writes another one for himself, he can't bear to destroy it again, he must have a spare weapon.

He thinks that the arm knife is good.

"Of course. It's just that you are used to using fans, can you get used to it?" There are more such arm knives in Chenyin Pavilion than there are killers in Chenyin Pavilion, Shen Qingjun naturally won't be stingy with an arm knife.

"It's good to get used to it, besides, I have practiced sword skills for a while before." Chu Xuanzhao smiled.

Of course, Shen Qingjun could also see this point, judging from his confrontation with him and beheading Liu Mao before, it is impossible for Chu Xuanzhao to be a person who has never learned sword skills, but he is indeed not proficient.

"Although you have learned sword skills, you are not proficient after all." Shen Qingjun didn't think it was a good thing for him to change weapons.

"It's okay." Chu Xuanzhao walked into the courtyard and sat down, and Shen Qingjun sat beside him, "Do you know that as a prince, he will enter the Martial Arts Hall at the age of five, and martial arts masters will teach him martial arts. At that time, the emperor invited A Mr. Cui, although this gentleman does not have the wisdom of Qingjun, he is also a person with both civil and military skills. He is not only responsible for teaching the prince's literary knowledge, but also in charge of teaching martial arts to the prince. The Taifu of the two imperial brothers and I..."

"In the old royal rules, what the prince learns the most is riding and archery and sword skills. Cui Taifu taught me very well, but when my mother and concubine were here, I was taught to hide my clumsiness from a very young age, especially this royal family. It is necessary to understand the principle of 'a tree is as beautiful as a forest, but the wind will destroy it'. Therefore, I always pretend that I can't learn it."

"Teacher Cui is not a gentle person. He often pats me on the head and scolds me for not being able to learn martial arts. He said that I would be half as good as the second emperor brother. He also said that I am a woman. But he is strict in his mouth. But he still taught me over and over again. He scolded me badly in private, but every time he praised me for my hard work when my father checked my homework. Three brothers, he scolded me the most, but cared about me the most. "

Chu Xuanzhao sighed softly, feeling a little nostalgic, "Later, when my concubine passed away, in order to prevent Xuanxin and I from being targeted, I acted even more like a dissolute person. Taifu Cui was even more worried that I would be useless, even though I was no longer in the school. Every time he sees me, he still insists on telling me to study hard. However, he died of illness three years ago. Until his death, I still failed to tell him that he taught very well, but it was me hiding my clumsiness that made him work hard. "

Chu Xuanzhao looked in the direction of the capital, feeling somewhat melancholy, "Apart from my concubine, the person who cares about me the most is Taifu Cui, but now, he is gone."

Shen Qingjun is not a person who can comfort others, he just kept silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Precious things are always easy to lose, the most important thing is to cherish possession."

Chu Xuanzhao turned to look at him, smiled faintly, "You're right."

For me, I have lost two of the most important people. I only had one Xuanxin before, but now, I still have you.
