Daming King of Punishment

"This is bad!" The magistrate immediately showed despair when he heard this: "We are all doomed now! Then Liu Wensheng probably left us and ran away!"

"Master Zhifu, please speak slowly, where did you start?" Miss Chu naturally didn't know what was going on outside the city, and she was very puzzled when she suddenly heard the prefect say this.After all, Liu Wensheng came to the Chu family only a few days ago, and while teaching them a lesson, he also came up with a solution for them.But now the magistrate suddenly said that Liu Wensheng left them and ran away, which made her a little confused.

The magistrate anxiously said: "I'm afraid you don't know! This Huai'an mansion has been surrounded by the imperial army, and we can't go anywhere now. Then Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo probably have the evidence of our crime. Now the army The situation is under pressure, we cannot escape with our wings!"

The magistrate's words almost caused the brothers and sisters of the Chu family to sit paralyzed on the ground.Just now they were confidently thinking that the Chu family could make a fortune this time, but in the blink of an eye, an imperial army appeared outside the city.This is already very clear, they are already the end of the world.

"Lord Zhifu, what should we do?" Second Young Master Chu panicked, he didn't know what to do next at this moment, so he could only ask the Lord Zhifu for help.

Originally, Guanshan Restaurant was behind them, which gave them some confidence.But the arrival of the magistrate made them completely desperate, and the Guanshan Restaurant was unreliable, and they were completely abandoned.

Facing the desperate brothers and sisters of the Chu family, what can the prefect do who is also desperate?

He lowered his head, looked at the two people in front of him, hesitated for a long time and said: "I think, now we can only push this matter directly to Guanshan Restaurant. Only in this way, we may still have a way to survive. That damned Liu Wensheng , He completely regarded us as pawns, he probably had already planned such a day, otherwise how could he have learned the news before it happened but did not inform us, and escaped alone? He is even the Guanshan Restaurant No more!"

"Damn Liu Wensheng, it was in vain that we respected him so much and called him uncle all the time, but now he has thrown us away. Long ago, he threatened our Chu family to join us. We didn't want to, but he did Xu gave us a great prospect, he threatened us and lured us, and that's why he let us get into his boat. Now I really regret it!" At this moment of despair, the second son of Chu blamed all of this In Guanshan Restaurant.

"No, I have to go to the gate of the city." The magistrate suddenly came to his senses at this moment: "Remember what I just said to you, and I will put all this on the head of Guanshan Restaurant. Now I am going to the gate of the city to greet you." King Jin."

The magistrate knew very well that the person outside the city must be King Jin.

After the magistrate left, the brothers and sisters of the Chu family still didn't look good.

"Second brother, I think our Chu family is doomed. Now my little sister is not afraid of this death, but I am afraid that my mother will suffer too!" Miss Chu burst into tears, and she was very worried about Mrs. Chu.

Although the second son of Chu didn't cry, he was about to cry. Anyone would feel scared when such a dangerous thing happened to them.

But at this time, he still pretended to be calm, and comforted him: "Little sister, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Didn't you listen to what the prefect said just now? Let's insist that this matter has nothing to do with us, it's all done by Guanshan Restaurant."

"Second brother, you are so naive! Don't forget that there are Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo! They have our evidence in their hands. The most direct thing is that secret letter, we and Bai Zhuo Guanshan Restaurant cannot escape the suspicion. Now I don’t know if the gold medal of Yulong has been in their hands. If the gold medal of Yulong falls into their hands, then we will be in a relationship with the nine clans!” Miss Chu did not because of her The second elder brother's words put this matter aside, and she knew very well in her heart that such words were nothing more than deceiving herself.

Second Young Master Chu's expression froze for an instant, it can be seen that his self-deceiving words were ruthlessly uncovered by Miss Chu.

Before the city gate, King Jin's army was already approaching the city.The huge city of Huai'an Mansion was surrounded by watertight water, people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get in.

"Quickly open the city gate and let us and other soldiers enter the city!"

Under the city gate, the general leading the troops shouted loudly to the soldiers above the city gate.

The soldiers at the city gate were in a dilemma at the moment. On the one hand, there were the imperial army below, but on the other hand, the magistrate gave them an order. Without the magistrate's order, they were not allowed to open the city gate. They were neither left nor right.

"Your Majesty has an order. Without your order, I am not allowed to open the city gate!" The soldiers could only shout to the general below the city.

The general was impatient, if not for King Jin, he might have already ordered his men to shoot arrows at the gate of the city.

"This general will give you one last chance to open the city gate immediately. Otherwise, this general will attack the city!" This can be said to the most serious step. Once the guards on the city wall are attacked, how can they resist? The army below.

The guards on the city wall were all panicked.

"What should I do? Do you really want to listen to the magistrate and not open the city gate? But the general below has already said that he is going to attack the city."

"That's right! What did the prefect say in the letter you sent?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the messenger. Obviously at this time, they were all anxious and didn't know how to make a decision.

The soldier who delivered the letter said with certainty: "That's what the magistrate said, and I don't know why he gave such an order. When I went there, I reported that the imperial army outside the city was coming, and the magistrate was a little flustered. , I don’t know what’s going on here.”

"Open the gates!"

When the soldiers were discussing what to do, they suddenly heard someone shouting from the city.These people were stunned for a moment, hearing that the voice was not from the general who called out before.

The soldier who sent the letter suddenly said in surprise: "It's the voice of the magistrate, open the city gate quickly!"

At this most critical moment, the magistrate suddenly issued an order to open the city gate, which was the best thing for them.

After receiving the prefect's order, the city gate slowly opened.The leading general immediately took the soldiers under his command, and treated each of them seriously, even drew out his sword, and came directly towards the city gate.

?Chapter 987 Searching the whole city

Seeing the general's posture, the magistrate's face changed. He was worried at first, but now it became more obvious.

The army marched into the Huai'an mansion in mighty force, and the leading general stopped in front of the prefect.

"Why did you order the city gate to be closed? Do you know who our commander is?" The general rode on a horse and came to the magistrate, asking angrily.

The general's voice was like a bell, just hearing him say such a sentence, ordinary people would be afraid to three points.What's more, now that the magistrate already has a ghost in his heart, he suddenly trembled.

But he has to answer these words, and not casually, but beautifully, otherwise how to explain this matter.

With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know something! The plague broke out in Huai'an Mansion recently, and this is really a helpless way for me to be an official. If the city gate is opened as usual, it's fine for people from outside to come in. But if this If the people inside take the plague out, and Huai'an Mansion is close to the capital, if the plague spreads to the capital, it will be an unimaginable consequence!"

This is reasonable, and the cause is directly mentioned above the plague, which can be regarded as pushing past the closing of the city gate.

The general didn't say anything else, the army was opening the way ahead, but he stayed here, waiting for King Jin who was behind the general's army.

Soon, King Jin's car entered Huai'an Mansion.

The soldiers around knelt down and saluted King Jin.The car slowly entered the Huai'an mansion and stopped beside the general.

"Are you the magistrate of Huai'an Mansion?" King Jin's voice came from inside the carriage, but he didn't show up.

The magistrate, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty is the prefect of Huai'an, here to welcome the king of Jin."

"My king asks you, where are the two imperial envoys, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo?" King Jin asked about the whereabouts of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

Hearing this, the magistrate broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about how to answer this question.

But other people don't have the time to wait for him to think it over, and the general at the side sternly shouted again: "The prince is asking you something, why don't you answer it?"

The magistrate, who hadn't thought about it carefully, was terrified by this stern shout, and he didn't care to think about it and hurriedly said: "The two imperial envoys haven't met with the lower official, and the lower official just heard rumors in the city a few days ago. , the two imperial envoys are in the Huai'an mansion. Now the whereabouts of the two lords, I really don't know."

"Take it!" King Jin said coldly in the car after hearing this.

The thing that the magistrate was most worried about happened like this. He thought that what he said just now was enough to give himself an explanation.But what he didn't expect was that King Jin, who was still talking to him, suddenly issued an order to arrest him directly.

The magistrate hurriedly asked, "My lord, what crime did you commit?"

"You know it in your heart." King Jin replied coldly, and then said to the coachman in front, the horse's hooves swung, and the chariot moved forward slowly.

When the car drove away, the general immediately ordered: "Take this person down and take over the city defense of Huai'an Prefecture."

With this order, the Huai'an Mansion has changed hands.He, the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture, became a prisoner at this moment.

And the soldiers who took down the original guards on the city gate and the city wall became ugly when they heard this.

Taking over the city defense, no matter when it is, is a terrible thing, which is enough to show that there will be huge changes right now.
