Genesis Lord

Chapter 85 Martial Law

Xizhou, Qingshui Inn, Tianzihao Wing Room.

Jiang Han, who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, put down the letter paper in his hand. Xuanyuan Qiuxue was standing beside him wearing the clothes of a guard. Seeing Jiang Han smiling, she asked in a puzzled way: "What news came from Beijing? What do you think?" After that, he showed a strange smile."

Jiang Han looked at Xuanyuan Qiuxue's ordinary face after her disguise, and said with a flat expression, "It's a letter from the third prince." He paused, took a sip of the hot tea he had just poured, and let out a light sigh. With a disdainful laugh, "The prince has already become powerful in the court. It won't be long before the generals will move closer to the prince. The third prince is impatient. He sent me a letter asking me to make a move for him. Secondly, is He wants me to return to Beijing to help him as soon as possible."

"Really? Are you planning to go back to Beijing?" Xuanyuan Qiuxue also made an analysis after hearing the words, touching her chin and said in a convincing manner: "I have also heard about this Prince Shengtian and the third prince. According to me Seeing that these three princes are not the prince's opponent at all, and now that the external forces are at a disadvantage again, I'm afraid I'm very anxious."

"Yeah, he was so anxious in the letter, even the letter he wrote himself was quite scribbled." Jiang Han hummed, rubbed his chin and said, "It's time to give the third prince a reassurance." .”

Xuanyuan Qiuxue saw that his eyes kept rolling, and knew that he must have a bad idea again, and was about to ask a question, when the door of the wing was pushed open, and Luo Bingyun, who was wearing a black armor, walked towards Jiang Han alone. Kneeling down, he said, "My lord, Shang Wu has already done what you arranged."

"Zhuo Liangwen was caught by you?" Jiang Han's eyes lit up when he heard Luo Bingyun's report, and he sat up straight. "Young Master, Shang Wu is lucky to have captured Zhuo Liangwen." Respectfully replied.

After Jiang Han heard his affirmative answer, he showed a happy smile, patted the table, and said: "Okay! Okay! You should step back first, you did a good job this time, you and Monk Wu have made great achievements this time, return to Beijing Find Hua Yiwen for a reward!" Seeing Jiang Han say this, Luo Bingyun was a little excited, nodded and shouted a few slogans to pledge loyalty, and then left Jiang Han's room.

"Qiu Xue, bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" There was no one around, so Jiang Han stood up from his chair and gave a command with a smile; Xuanyuan Qiuxue on the side pouted, as if a little dissatisfied with him coming as soon as he opened his mouth order, but still didn't say anything, and prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side desk in an orderly manner.

Jiang Han looked at Xuanyuan Qiuxue who was standing by the desk, and said with a faint smile, "I told you to write." Xuanyuan Qiuxue was taken aback when she heard the words, "Why do you want me to write?" Jiang Han moved to her side, with a relaxed expression, and replied: "My handwriting is easy for people to see." Xuanyuan Qiuxue showed a clear expression after hearing this, and frowned, but she didn't get too entangled, just nodded slightly.

"Your son is in my hands. If you want your son to be safe, prepare a thousand green coins and wait for a letter from me. The little snake crossing the river needs some time to travel. I hope you will not blame me." Jiang Han narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing An unpredictable smile.

As soon as Xuanyuan Qiuxue heard Jiang Han's words, she understood that someone was trying to pretend to be a kidnapper to blackmail Zhuo Xingpeng, Governor of Xizhou. "Why did you do this? It's not good for you, is it?" Xuanyuan Qiuxue put down the brush after finishing writing, and confided the doubts in her heart.

"Tell me, what would Zhuo Xingpeng do if he found out that his son was not captured by ordinary kidnappers?" Jiang Han showed a meaningful smile, Xuanyuan Qiuxue frowned even more after hearing this, and asked, "What do you mean? "

"Do you still remember Chang Kangshi's imperial guards sent by the emperor to escort me to Xizhou?"

"You... what do you mean?"

"Chang Kangshi, as the captain of a small team of the imperial guards, the emperor's eagle claw, who knows his details? Before the eldest prince lost power, he was quite favored by the military officials in the court. You said, if Zhuo Xingpeng thinks that Chang Kang He is the eldest prince, what will he do?"

Hearing Jiang Han's blatant words, Xuanyuan Qiuxue's tender body trembled, with an unbelievable expression on her face, she said in amazement: "You mean..." Before she finished speaking, Jiang Han said again: "At that time, I will leave Xizhou. He has no backing. Will he directly raise his troops to revolt when he is furious?"

Xuanyuan Qiuxue was completely stunned, and stood there silently, not knowing how to answer for a while.Jiang Han smiled again, but this smile was full of hostility and ruthlessness, "If the old emperor knows that his eldest son has caused such a big trouble, will he still protect him? Don't say anything else, just pass on When he arrives in Beijing, all the ministers will attack him. If the emperor thinks about the relationship between father and son, he can't bear to do it, but if he also thinks that his most loyal minions, the imperial guards, are also entangled with the eldest prince, and he is suffering from suspicion. The Dog Emperor is determined not to tolerate this son anymore."

Xuanyuan Qiuxue frowned after hearing this, and even after hearing Jiang Han's follow-up plan, she had to lament that the man in front of her was acting cruelly, but his brain was still so flexible, and the depth of his plan was terrifying.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Qiuxue stood still and didn't speak, Jiang Han didn't care, but went out and picked up the piece of paper that Xuanyuan Qiuxue had just written, walked to the door of the wing room, and asked Luo Bingyun, who was standing outside the door, to come over, " You ask Shang Wu to come and see me together, and send this letter to the Governor's Mansion." Handing the letter to Luo Bingyun, the old god Jiang Han stood still.After Luo Bingyun finished the letter, he walked towards another wing.

......

In the Governor's Mansion, Zhuo Xingpeng was sitting in the bookcase in his inner courtyard at this time, with an open letter on the desk. He stood where he was, his fat body trembling slightly, and his face was extremely ugly.

"squeak..."

The small door of the study was opened, and a warrior in white armor walked in, saluted respectfully: "Report to the governor...all the people in the Tiansong Mountains were slaughtered. There are bandits all around body, and no trace of Master Zhuo Liangwen was found..."

After listening to the visitor's report, Zhuo Xingpeng's trace of luck was gone.He seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, gritted his teeth with a dejected face, slumped on the chair, and murmured in a daze, "I see...you can go down."

Wufu is also a man of vision, seeing that Zhuo Xingpeng was in low spirits, he left wisely.

Zhuo Xingpeng sat slumped on the chair, as if thinking of something again, called out the name of his housekeeper a few times, and soon saw the sweaty, nervous looking housekeeper trot over, and asked the master repeatedly what instructions he had Zhuo Xingpeng rubbed his wrinkled forehead, and ordered: "Go to the mansion and pay me a thousand green coins, I will be of great use." Hearing the number, the housekeeper was also a little surprised, but his eyesight was better. He didn't ask any more questions, but nodded respectfully, and trotted out of the study room again.

......

Perhaps because of Zhuo Liangwen's kidnapping, Luoshui City was immediately under martial law.Although it is not too obvious, but from the city guards that can be seen everywhere in the city, we can see a little clue; whether it is the city gate or some streets and alleys, they have all been fortified.

As a general, Chang Kangshi, the captain of the imperial guards, naturally also noticed something unusual. They had been arranged to live in Anza near the barracks of the city guards.Just today, he saw city guards coming in and out from time to time, all with solemn and vigilant faces.Even though he was a little careless, he also understood at this moment that some major event that he didn't know about happened in Luoshui City.From the beginning of Xizhou, their pair of imperial guards seemed to be forgotten by Jiang Han, and Jiang Han never asked him to work for him; it seems that Jiang Han also knew that he was nothing more than the emperor sent to monitor It's just his eyeliner.

Thinking of this, Chang Kangshi, who was drinking in the camp, shook his head helplessly. Just as he was still thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by the emperor to monitor Jiang Han, some noisy disputes came from outside his inner camp. He frowned, walked out of the tent, and a subordinate official came to his side, and said with an angry expression: "Captain Chang, the city guards in Luoshui City said that the bandits in Luoshui City have been fleeing recently, which is very dangerous. They want to inspect our camp, isn’t that suspecting that we have something to do with bandits? It’s too arrogant, no matter how you say it, we are all the emperor’s people!”

Chang Kangshi frowned when he heard the words, and saw a city guard general not far away seeing him out of the tent, and immediately shouted at him: "Captain Chang, everyone is generals, don't make things difficult for each other. We This is also an order from the superior, so I have to do it." Chang Kangshi frowned deeper after hearing this, and was about to speak, when the middle-aged man with a mustache standing next to the city guard general spoke again, but this one started talking He was not as polite as the former one: "Bandits are running around very badly. Even if all the dignitaries in our area have searched the mansion, the imperial guards are no exception. Please ask Captain Chang to open the tent and let me search carefully."

Chang Kangshi saw that the nonsense words were extremely blunt, and immediately felt a trace of anger. Following his eyes, he recognized the middle-aged man who was speaking, and it turned out to be Liu Kaifu, the governor of Luoshui City.Even he was startled?Chang Kangshi quickly understood that what seemed to be happening nearby in Luoshui City was a bit of a mystery, so he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he cupped his hands and replied calmly, "Your Majesty Liu Chengdu is too polite, it's nothing more than a search of the camp. , I’ll just wait for your cooperation!” After that, he turned his head to look at his indignant subordinates, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: “Open all the tents, let them search, and cooperate with the work of the local brother teams!”

Although the rest of the imperial guards were still full of dissatisfaction, they obviously believed in Chang Kangshi. Seeing that he had spoken, they all opened the tents they had been living in recently, and the city guards immediately swarmed Come on, start to search carefully...
