Chapter 242 Dong Qichang and Zhang Pu intercede
Chen Mingxia is worthy of being a young man with a thief-eyed person. When he saw someone from Dongchang coming, he ran out while the chaos outside was in chaos.
Along with him was the aide Wen Juren, the governor of Yingtian, who was the governor of Wang Wenkui.
The two, one old and one young, took a shortcut and ran to the governor's office.
Governor Yingtian Wang Wenkui was furious at this time in the inner hall of the Governor's yamen. In addition to the four bigwigs who were in charge of Nanjing's defense and military power, Jiangnan was almost his world. Even the Censor was obedient to him because he was the same year as him and had a cowardly personality. The officials in other state government offices naturally followed him.
Moreover, Wang Wenkui had a close relationship with famous gentry Dong Qichang, Wang Siren, Zhang Pu, Qi Biaojia and others in Jiangnan, and thus received support from the gentry of Jiangnan. Therefore, in this conspiracy to force His Majesty to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, he was able to mobilize most of Jiangnan officials to do things according to their will.
Wang Wenkui was also a little arrogant because of this. He thought that when he was talking to Dong Qichang and other famous gentry in Jiangnan, he took the opportunity to approach the long-coveted girl Min'er, whom he had been coveting. This woman, who was once the daughter of the cabinet's auxiliary family, had a fatal temptation to him. Wang Wenkui felt that he could be able to hold a beauty with his power as a governor. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out in the middle of the journey, and a eunuch could actually enter Wei Min'er's boudoir, but Wei Min'er ignored him.
When Wang Wenkui thought of this, he felt dissatisfied and lost his mind for a moment. Therefore, after seeing Zhu Youxiao and others killing, he brazenly ordered the soldiers from the governor's yamen to capture him. He didn't think much about who he was. After all, in his opinion, Wei Zhongxian is indeed no better than before. As long as he clearly stated that he was not provoked by him, Wei Zhongxian would not really break up with him, and now he would not really favor Wei Zhongxian.
"Wei Min'er, I still don't believe you, I can't accept you." Wang Wenkui said to himself with a stern look. Just as he was about to get up and find a handsome maid to get out of the fire, he saw his servant come in and report that Wen Juren and Chen Xianggong came to visit.
Wang Wenkuiluo was surprised. Logically, these two people should be in Lishui Pavilion now, so why did they come back so early? Could it be that they have already captured the murderer?
"Let them wait in the front hall, I will come now." Wang Wenkui ordered, then straightened his black hat and walked towards the front hall.
When Wang Wenkui arrived, Juren Wen said to Wang Wenkui with a sad face and anxiously: "Master, the big thing is not good. The murderer is not a simple origin. There are Dongchang and the officers and soldiers to rescue the siege. And judging from that situation, these officers and soldiers seem to be not simple, maybe they are the imperial guards."
"Yes, mentor, they would kill people as soon as they broke in and saw them, and they were not ruthless. Fortunately, the students ran fast, otherwise they would have been dead under the knife. And the students heard that the man seemed to be a master of the court." Chen Mingxia also hurriedly talked about the power of the officers and soldiers and the people from the East Factory.
Wang Wenkui was quite surprised and thoughtful. As the governor of a province, he was not afraid of the East Factory. Moreover, after hearing Chen Mingxia's words, he became more and more suspicious and asked, "Wait a minute, you mentioned the Master of Pavilion just now, what Master of Pavilion?"
"When the students ran out, they heard it occasionally because the person we were going to arrest was Ge Lao. It was called Ge Lao. The soldiers said that the people inside could not let the people inside hurt Ge Lao Fen Hao, otherwise they would be a death sentence!"
Chen Mingxia said this, which made Wang Wenkuiyue unbelievable. She slapped the table suddenly: "What kind of master? There is only one master Li who follows His Majesty's southern tour in the capital. I have seen him before. There is no Li Master Li. I am afraid that these rioters and bandits pretend to be deceived. Nowadays, cults such as the White Lotus Sect are accustomed to pretend to be officers and soldiers and kill and set fire everywhere. According to my official's opinion, this is probably another rioter."
As he said that, Wang Wenkui ordered the Juren to immediately order all the governors and soldiers, and the current leader of the Nanjing garrison troops was Liu Kongzhao, the assistant minister of the Right Palace, to lead three thousand people to help.
Suddenly, five thousand soldiers drove towards the Qinhuai River in a mighty manner.
This is the first time that men and women on the banks of the Qinhuai River have seen so many soldiers bravely breaking in, and one team comes and another team comes, with the number of people getting bigger and bigger each time.
No one dared to sing the wind and the moon again. He closed the door and lay on the window and watched curiously what happened outside.
At this time, the scene at Lishui Pavilion was a bit awkward.
More than a hundred Dongchang men occupied almost the entire second floor, and they all pulled out their knives and looked around with murderous intent.
The infantry battalion of the Imperial Guard kept holding muskets and divided into two teams, one facing the scholars in the cabinet, including Dong Qichang and Zhang Pu, and the other facing the outside, especially the left and right wings.
Zhu Youjian took the Imperial Guard cavalry to patrol the periphery, holding bloody scimitars and not putting them in the scabbards. These cavalrymen who were used to slaughtering seemed not satisfied with their nature of killing after killing hundreds of soldiers from the Governor's Office.
"Gemaster Li, there are so many misunderstandings here. I don't know that it was you who came here, so I'm a little reckless. Please don't care about villains."
Dong Qichang was a little scared when he saw this. After all, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground now. He, a scholar, was already scared and his legs were trembling, fearing that the old Master Li in front of him would really kill him because he was the emperor's favorite minister.
However, Wei Min'er couldn't help but smile at this time. She had seen such a scene, so she didn't feel scared. She felt that the emperor was really good at practicing, and the one named Ge Lao Li was afraid that he would be cheated miserably by him.
"Gei Master Li, although we do have disrespect, as a grand cabinet master, you are a bit out of the way. Since this is the case, we will not pursue each other. The students will advise the Chief Secretary not to report this matter, and ask the Chief Master not to hate us scholars, so what? After all, we are all the children of Confucius and Mencius."
Now Zhang Pu has to ask Zhu Youxiao, who pretended to be Li Mingrui. Although the way of saying the words is still the arrogance of a literati, the tone is meaningful.
There is no way. Zhang Pu is still a juren now, and many scholars who restored the society urgently need to become famous in the imperial examination field. However, the old man Li Gelao, who he offended now, is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The main responsibility for culture and imperial examinations is the matter. Culture is naturally a business, and the imperial examinations are related to the career destiny of many scholars.
So Zhang Pu now has to ask Li Mingrui to be magnanimous, otherwise Li Mingrui will really hold a grudge, and then it will be difficult for him and his reunion to win the first place.
"Zhang Pu, don't talk nonsense. People are not killed by the official, but by the Dongchang people, right? Wu's big shot." Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin, and Wu Jin hurriedly replied: "When I go back to Master Li, they are indeed small killers, but our Dongchang killers never ask about the king's law. According to Your Majesty's will, this time, follow Master Ge to secretly investigate the people's situation. As long as you encounter an unexpected situation, whether it is an official, gentleman or a peddler, the subordinate can be executed first and then report."
After Wu Jin said this, Zhang Pu was also speechless for a moment.
However, Wei Min'er couldn't help but laugh and Zhu Youxiao quickly glared at her, scaring her to shut her mouth.
But at this time, the command from Liu Kongzhao and the governor-general Shi Kaiyu suddenly came from outside: "Listen, you are surrounded. I am Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the governor of Nanjing garrison, and was specially entrusted by Wang Zhongcheng to encircle and suppress cult thieves. I advise you to surrender, otherwise I will definitely not be so arrogant to you!"
Zhu Youjian and other cavalrymen quickly turned their horses' heads and raised their scimitars to face the group of five thousand soldiers and horses.
When the five thousand soldiers brought by Liu Kongzhao saw this, he couldn't help but take three steps back. Liu Kongzhao even stuttered: "You are the Imperial Guards, you, you are His Highness Xin, are there in there?"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Kongzhao fell down from his horse.
