One hundred and sixty-two, the unlucky He Zhao

The whole capital was panicked. It was clear that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was still during the day, but every door was closed and no one dared to go out at this time.

Whether it is afraid of being harmed by evil people or being mistaken for evil people, no one wants to be involved. Many people can't figure out what happened, but just hear some rumors, instinctively fear and then hide.

Biological organisms have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, so even in a large capital city, it becomes much easier to destroy evil people.

Ji Chunsheng set up the command front battalion at the intersection outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and many soldiers set up posts to guard it. With this as the center, they gradually advanced to search for criminals in all directions. People from various battalions of Wude Department kept fast horses and flags to report the situation ahead.

As soon as he received the imperial edict, he asked someone to get a written order from the Kaiyuan Prefecture He Zhao to close the city gates. At the same time, he asked sentries with the order flag to ride horses across the city, and loudly proclaimed that the people would go home and stay away from home, so as not to be injured by accident.

The Wudesi battalions were wearing armor and holding crossbows, and ten people were in a team. They gradually searched, and the rebels were killed without mercy. Soon, the results of the battle came one after another, but the thieves were also fierce, and their desperate counterattack actually injured several people.

Fortunately, the criminals brought them into the city with small crossbows, which required nearly twenty or thirty steps to kill people, and the power would be greatly reduced if they were armed. Most of the military commanders were divine arm crossbows in the army, which could easily take human life within fifty steps. No matter how fierce the criminals were, they would have little chance of life as long as they were discovered.

After more than an hour, according to the successive returns, the Wudesi battalions had killed twenty-six criminals and captured more than 30 people alive. Several criminals were forced to kill several innocent people, including adults and children. Several of them were not dead yet and were rushed to the hospital, but they could not survive even if they were not alive.

Some people were forced to death and set fire everywhere. After burning several houses, some people were burned to death in the east of the city. But when the owner of a house in the west of the city saw the gangster setting fire to his house, he rushed out in desperation and chopped out the two gangsters who set fire with hatchets.

The most amazing thing is that there are more than a dozen local gangsters in the west of the city. They took advantage of the chaos to run to the east of the city to pretend to be a gangster to get money. As a result, they were shot to death by Wudesi as a real gangster...

In short, the city was in chaos at this time, and the wind was heard and the other criminals could no longer be found.

Ji Chunsheng was commanding the troops of various battalions while worrying about the situation in the royal palace and had no time to clone him. At this time, he gradually realized that the problem was not simple, and the criminals might not be the only one, but as long as they took off their military uniforms and threw down their weapons, they could find a place to mix in the crowd, how would they tell it out in a short time?

Ji Chunsheng said cruelly: "Catch all the suspicious people who have not entered the house!"

He can't bear such a big responsibility. If any criminal is arrested, then His Majesty will explain his faults!

The emperor will definitely be furious in this incident. Ansu Mansion, Kaiyuan Mansion, Wudesi, and Shangzhi Qinwei Camp are all suspected. People came down from the ship of Ansu Mansion. Kaiyuan Mansion was placed in the city. Only Wudesi and Shangzhi Qinwei Camp have bows, crossbows and arrows in the city.

Before the matter was clear, no one could escape. At this time, the Jinwu Guard came from the direction of the Kaiyuan Prefecture Office.

In a panic, more than twenty Jinwu Guards cut down several criminals in succession, blocked several arrows for His Majesty, and immediately retreated into the nearest Kaiyuan Prefecture Office. Then a large number of imperial guards also rushed to protect them. The emperor had no worries about his life and temporarily landed in Kaiyuan Prefecture, but he would not be able to return to the palace for a while.

The emperor could not have been waiting in Kaiyuan Mansion forever, so he was anxious to quell the rebellion.

The Emperor's oral order was sent to the Jinwu Guard, saying that he wanted to see him.

Ji Chunsheng asked the deputy envoy to take charge, and hurriedly rode his horse to Kaiyuan Mansion.

After passing through the gate of Kaiyuan Mansion and the dense armored imperial guards guarded in the courtyard, he soon entered the Kaiyuan Mansion Hall. The head of the head was the current emperor. Kaiyuan Mansion He Zhao stood on the side with a serious face.

But when he saw He Zhao's hands trembling slightly, he sighed in his heart, He Zhao deserves it, he is always targeting the prince, but now he has retribution. The most unlucky person in this matter is probably him, the prefect of Kaiyuan.

I was gloating, but I thought of his lively and generous life, and often ran to the prince's house, and had a good relationship with the prince. When I met, I called his uncle's daughter. I felt a little reluctant. If something happened to him, I was afraid that the little girl would suffer too.

"I pay homage to the emperor." Ji Chunsheng was in a complicated mood and was about to salute, but the emperor waved his hand: "You don't need to kneel down with your armor."

Then he asked directly: "Tell me about the situation outside, what's going on, is it a gangster who is causing trouble or a rebellion, and whether the imperial guards need to be transferred."

Ji Chunsheng bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there are only about a hundred riots, and it seems that they are all the soldiers who are heading north by the Ansu Mansion official ship."

When the emperor heard this, his face turned cold and he was walking left and right. He was obviously worried. This was not a joke. It was a good idea to be careful before the matter was clear: "Take one from Wude Department and take me to inspect the imperial guard camp outside the city and report it, come and go quickly!"

Ji Chunsheng bowed his order.

"What does Ansu Mansion want to do... do you want to rebel?" The emperor said angrily and slapped the table, scaring the emperor's grandson below to cry, and no one dared to speak out.

Only He Zhao walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, I received some birthday gifts, but they are worth more than 100,000 taels. If Ansu Mansion intends to rebel, why should I have such a generous gift to the royal family? There must be some twists and turns."

"Maybe they just want to take this opportunity to send the bad guys into the city." Wei Li asked.

"If this is true, why do you need more than 100,000 taels? Even if it is 10,000 taels, you must be escorted by the Xiang army, and you can also allow the Xiang army to enter the city." He Zhao said.

The emperor frowned. This really doesn't make sense. If Ansu's mansion did it, assassination of the emperor would be rebelling. If he really wanted to rebel, how could he raise so much silver and give it to the royal family? This is obviously to please the royal family.

"Hmph, no matter what, Ansu Mansion cannot escape from its relationship, and he must be guilty." The emperor said firmly, and He Zhao nodded quickly: "What Your Majesty said is very true. No matter how bad Ansu Mansion is, it is a crime of misunderstanding."

The emperor didn't say anything, but looked at him with a expressionless face: "And you, He Zhao, everyone was put into the city by you Kaiyuan Mansion!"

He Zhao, who was just as if nothing had happened, was so scared that he knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, when they entered the city, I was also at the ferry crossing and entered the city at the same time. I have investigated them one by one. I used the head to guarantee that there was indeed no crossbow weapon at that time!"

The emperor only looked at him: "Can your head change your life? You put it in? How do you want to argue? The person comes to detain He Zhao in the Censorate. The position of Kaiyuan Prefecture will be temporarily performed by the judge of Kaiyuan Prefecture."

As he said that, the emperor said coldly: "It would be fine if Sin Zhou is fine. If there is anything, you don't have to go back to this court."

He Zhao's expression became dim and his face suddenly turned ashamed. In fact, when he heard that the thief in the city was in trouble and the emperor was assassinated, he knew that he could not escape because this was the Kaiyuan Mansion's jurisdiction, and what's worse was that the assassin was actually the escort of the birthday ceremony. He personally approved the entry into the city...

After the emperor dealt with He Zhao, he looked at Ji Chunsheng and Wei Li: "He Zhao told the evil man that he had no weapons when he entered the city, and the only ones with bows, crossbows and arrows in the capital were Wudesi and Shangzhi's personal guard camp. After going down, he found out thoroughly."

"And...if there is news from Sin Chew, report it quickly." He added as he said that.

The two of them took the order, and then Ji Chunsheng hurriedly retreated and sent someone to the camp of the imperial guards outside the city. He probably won't be back tomorrow when he went today. His Majesty is really suspicious.
