Jin Bao received Qu Shiqi's advice and changed the meaning of what he conveyed to Fu Shangrui.

Fu Shangrui is a very arrogant person, and no one can easily change his attitude, not even He Tengjiao.

When He Tengjiao asked him to take up the post, it took him three visits to the thatched cottage before he agreed.

In Fu Shangrui's view, thieves like Tian Jianxiu are absolutely heinous, so we must resolutely draw a clear line with them.

These dozen carts of grain and grass were only given to him out of moral reasons.

But little did he know that his actions put Zhang Zhengchen on the fire.

Even without looking around, Zhang Zhengchen could feel countless burning eyes focusing on his face.

He is an imperial envoy, and everything he says and does represents the imperial court. Fu Shangrui is slapping the imperial court in the face!

"Fu Daotai, did you get the amount of food and grass wrong?"

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, these are enough."

Fu Shangrui didn't seem to pay attention to Zhang Zhengchen at all. He had a fake smile on his face and didn't care about the expressions of the people opposite him who wanted to tear him apart.

"I am an imperial envoy from the imperial court. Do you really want to go against the imperial court?"

"Oh, how dare you lower your rank? It's just that there is a real shortage of food and grass. We need to get it from the officers and soldiers first. How about you think of something else?"

Tian Jianxiu stopped Liu Fangliang, who was rolling up his sleeves, and told him not to be impulsive.

Seeing that Fu Shangrui was so arrogant in front of the imperial envoy, Tian Jianxiu guessed that there must be someone behind him to support him.

This person is Qu Shiqi who has been targeting them.

As for whether He Tengjiao meant it, it's hard to say.

Fu Shangrui's words made Zhang Zhengchen really angry. Even though he was just patrolling, he dared to despise the court. If we don't kill him today, wouldn't it damage the prestige of the court?

"Come here, take this person down for me!" Zhang Zhengchen raised his arms and the guards behind him swarmed up without saying a word and pulled Fu Shangrui out of the sedan.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one reacted, and Jin Bao, who was riding on the horse, was even more shocked.

The generals of the Shun Army did not expect that this young imperial envoy would dare to take action.

In their view, Fu Shangrui was a member of He Tengjiao, and He Tengjiao was a feudal official who held real power. In Huguang, he was the Tu Emperor.

Although there is a new imperial court in Hangzhou, governors like He Tengjiao have gradually become like warlords!

From the fact that Jin Bao and Fu Shangrui refused to bow to the imperial envoy, we can see the attitude of Huguang officials towards the new imperial court.

"You dare to arrest me???" Fu Shangrui shouted in shock.

"A small patrolman dares to despise the imperial envoy and defy the imperial court. I will kill him first and then report him! Anyone coming, please ask the king to order a flag and a sword!" Zhang Zhengchen shouted mercilessly with a cold face.

After his death, since there was no chief ceremonial officer for the time being, the palace sent a lieutenant-general to accompany him under the king's order.

Several lieutenants brought flag-branded swords, and everyone around them knelt down and worshiped.

When Jin Bao saw that the little imperial envoy was serious, he jumped off the horse and knelt down in a hurry.

"Hmph, you dare to kill an official of the imperial court! Governor He will definitely impeach you!" Fu Shangrui frowned and spoke nonsense.

"Which dynasty are you an official from? Who appointed you?" Zhang Zhengchen laughed angrily.

"I, I, I..." Fu Shangrui was speechless. His sub-inspector of Hunan Province was appointed by the governor He Tengjiao, but he did not have a diploma from the imperial court, so he was not considered an official.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, as if he was being plotted against!

He raised his head slightly and saw Zhang Zhengchen squinting at him and smiling softly.

It's broken and deceived. This guy did it on purpose!

He had already calculated that the thieves would not be able to get food and grass, and he simply wanted to catch someone in Huguang to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

After thinking about it carefully, even Fu Shangrui himself felt that this monkey...this person was the most suitable for him.

Shuzi! What a plan!

This situation and scene are quite similar to Cao Mengde’s killing of grain and grass officer Wang He.

One is to kill people to establish authority, and the other is to stabilize the morale of the army.

After thinking about this, Fu Shangrui panicked, and in an instant, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"General Tian, ​​gather together to watch the future!"

"I will obey my orders!"

Soon, all the generals and generals of the Shun Army gathered near the camp gate, and they were crowded and talking.

"Master Zhang, even if you kill me, you won't even get a grain of food from Huguang!"

"Oh? Really?"

Zhang Zhengchen looked at Fu Shangrui with a half-smile, he and Zhang Huangyan decided to kill this person together.

Killing Fu Shangrui can stabilize the morale of the Shun army, resolve the resentment in the army, and prevent the Yingxiao mutiny.

Only when the morale of the military is stable can the next step of transfer plan be implemented.

As for food and grass, it doesn't need much, just enough to last them until they enter Jiangxi.

Of course, killing Fu Shangrui was also to remind He Tengjiao and everyone in Huguang that the Ming Dynasty was not dead yet!

The carriage in Huguang seems to be going more and more crooked, and it must be heading in the right direction.

Jin Bao, who was kneeling aside, never expected that this would be the scene. He buried his head there and pretended to be invisible.

He originally wanted to signal his followers to go to Changsha City to report the news, but was directly stopped by the sharp-eyed Hao Yaoqi.

Seeing that Fu Shangrui might really be doomed this time, Jin Bao wilted, his head drooped, not daring to say a word.

When the bright sword blade appeared in front of Fu Shangrui, he was really scared.

"You, you, you..." Fu Shangrui's teeth were trembling, and he was having trouble speaking.

"What are you, you, oh, peed?" Hao waved his flag and crossed his arms, standing in the distance and watching the joke.

When everyone took a look, sure enough, there was a wet spot between Fu Shangrui's buttocks.

Instantly, the crowd burst into laughter.

"I thought he was so tough, what a coward!" General Liu Fangliang said disdainfully.

"There have been many civil servants like him who talk too much!" Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun tilted his head and smiled.

"Master Zhang, don't look at your youth, you are really awesome! It seems that His Highness Prince Lu is not bad either!" Mianhou Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but touched his chin and sighed.

Tian Jianxiu watched quietly. He felt that the young imperial envoy in front of him was completely different from the previous Ming officials.

At this time, Zhang Huangyan, Gao Yigong, and Li Guo rode their horses to the camp gate.

Fu Shangrui took a glance and saw a young man in civilian clothes. Gao Yigong followed him respectfully, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

At this time, the cold edge of Shang Fang's sword had touched the back of his neck.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Fu Shangrui discovered that the young man had arrived in front of him.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Zhang Huangyan, the military department is here to send you the special envoy of King Lu."

Fu Shangrui's heart trembled, an imperial envoy, a special envoy, how much does King Lu attach great importance to recruiting people...

Moreover, two such young officials were sent to such a big event. This new court seems to be really different.

"Master Fu, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Huangyan carefully patted the dust on Fu Shangrui's body, straightened his clothes, and straightened the black gauze on his head.

"What do you mean?" Fu Shangrui felt a little scared and couldn't understand Zhang Huangyan's operation.

Zhang Huangyan stood up and flicked the blade of the sword. Fu Shangrui only felt a slight pain and blood oozed from his neck.
