Lu Qinghou and Jiang Ning were sitting in the study room of Tianlao Yamen. There were a dazzling array of books on the bookshelf behind them. The green plants on the window sill covered the entire wall. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there was an exquisite

Tea table.

After Lu Qinghou arrived, in addition to the officials who fled and those who resisted, some of the remaining officials surrendered directly. In order to stabilize the situation, they were temporarily responsible for the original work. The Jinling Prison was originally affiliated to the Taishou Mansion. After the Taishou fled, he took charge of the Jinling Prison.

The prisoner is a fourth-grade warden, and there are either extremely vicious people in the prison, or

Who are rogue bandits? There were more than 90 jailers in the prison city. On the day the city was breached, only about 60 were left. Warden Xu Qingming directly blocked the news. As a result, only on the fifth day after the city was breached, there was no relevant news in the prison city.

According to legend, the Manichaeans had basically completed the first round of looting at this time. After attacking the prison city to no avail, they stopped attacking and left.

Until the founding of the Yongle Dynasty, Xu Qingming still managed the prison city, and everything returned to normal. This Xu Qingming was a neutralist. If you let me take care of it, I will take care of it. I guarantee that nothing will happen. If you don't let me

No matter what, then go out and play without touching it.

Touch, so he didn't have much objection to who he was doing it for. After hearing about such a Buddhist official, Lu Qinghou was also curious. When he arrived in the prison today and saw the furnishings in the study, he really

I feel that this guy is really a different kind of person.

"The news has been released." Lu Qinghou took a sip of tea and said slowly to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning sat aside and continued: "Then just wait..."

The two of them stopped communicating and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

In the cell, the scout was still thinking about Jiang Ning's words. Jiang Ning did not ask him, but just told what he had speculated. But it was just speculation without any real evidence. He did not believe that the imperial court would treat them like this, nor did he

I would like to believe that Zhang Xiu is the last resort.

"Bang bang..." There were two muffled sounds, and the two jailers fell to the ground. A black shadow appeared, touched the jailer's body, picked up the key and headed towards the cell.

The scout watched the black figure open the cell door, but he was holding a simple knife in his hand.

Who else would injure the jailer and not save others? Who else would take such a big risk? Then everything would be as Jiang Ning said.

"Brother, I'm sorry..." The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Xiu, and the man recognized him clearly.

He raised the knife and dropped it, but a person appeared from the dark corner and blocked him. Zhang Xiu's expression changed, he turned over and ran out. The two jailers in the corridor had long since disappeared, and were replaced by dark soldiers.

"Dare to betray me..." Zhang Xiu waved his sword, dodging left and right. Even though he was very skilled with his feet, he could not beat four hands with two fists, and there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound outside the prison city.

"Let's go, it should be almost done." Lu Qinghou stood up, and the voices outside gradually became quieter.

The two of them came out of the study. Inside the prison compound, there were three men in black and seven corpses.

"These people are here to silence them. I think all the people inside should have been recruited by now. The only thing we need to know now is whether they have spread the news, and the location of the Ministry of War's stronghold in Jinling." Jiang Ning said.

At this moment, Lu Qinghou completely believed Jiang Ning's words about this matter. He waved his hand and said, "Ask me and find a way to find out."

"Let's go..." Zhang Xiu looked at Jiang Ning and laughed.

Jiang Ning didn't pay any attention to the ridicule of a dying man. If it were someone else, he would have done the same thing. Military orders are like mountains. No matter how outrageous the order is, no matter how impossible the order is, all means must be used to complete it.

, To a soldier, he is competent, and to the court, he is also loyal, but such competence and loyalty are stupid.

"The matter has been made clear. Jiang Ning takes his leave." Jiang Ning cupped his hands towards Lu Qinghou, turned around, mounted his horse and left.

He watched Jiang Ning leave and wanted to stay, but Lu Qinghou waved his hand: "No, it's hard to explain to Princess Jinzhi. Just watch. If you don't stay in Jinling, it's not too late to take action."

Just like Gao Qiu and others on this trip, Jinling has become a royal court. In the torrent, Lu Qinghou cannot be alone. He doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him. He can't escape.

, the only thing that can achieve what you want is to make fewer mistakes.

After this incident, he seemed to see something unique about Jiang Ning. This seemingly indifferent scholar made him feel scary for a moment.

"Is this really true?" Fang La sat on the dragon chair, with eighteen civil and military ministers lined up under the stage.

Lu Qinghou stayed up all night, and the morning meeting was the only thing that interrupted his thoughts.

After he reported the matter, Ning Buhui was a participant at the scene and witnessed everything that happened, and the court was even more uproar.

"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. I didn't expect them to be so cruel."

"Yes, the fate of the Xia Dynasty has ended, and it is the time when the Yongle Dynasty created the world."

"Haha, everything must be reversed. Now he has killed his own princess. It seems that these people are not very smart..."

A silent Bao Dao Yi stroked the fly whisk and stepped forward: "Please tell me, Your Majesty, this may be a good thing."

"Oh? What's the explanation?" Fang La asked lightly.

In the eyes of everyone, there is no trump card here. Princess Changping died. No matter how she died, she died in Jinling. It is a certainty that the news will spread. What will Xia Dynasty do? They will definitely attack with all their strength. Although they

Not afraid, even if they want to maintain their current power position, they will not give up, but their trump card is gone.

Bao Daoyi's originally sunken eyes suddenly shone with light, and he smiled and said, "Why did you kill Princess Changping? It's so that you can fight with me, Yongle Dynasty, without restraint. Let's spread the news and tell the truth.

Tell the world that the Xia Dynasty is about to run out of energy and Yongle is about to stand. This will inspire the morale of the army. Before the armies in Gaoqiu and Gaoqiu have a firm foothold, strike first to gain strength, and we will definitely win the battle."

"Yes, yes..." Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "Before, we have been thinking about what to do if we die here. Dirty water has been poured on our heads. Now that we have the confessions of those scouts, what are we afraid of? Sooner or later, it will be

It is not impossible to take advantage of this opportunity to fight to the death and capture Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

Lou Minzhong shook his head, Fang La saw it in his eyes, and immediately asked: "Lou Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Reporting to the Holy Duke, this matter is strange and must be guarded against." Lou Minzhong cupped his hands and said.

Lu Qinghou also added: "Yes, I also think this matter is quite strange. There are many doubts. You must not act rashly until it is clear."

"I think so too. I hope Shenggong will think twice," Lou Minzhong said.

Fang La said: "Tell me, what are your doubts?"

Lou Minzhong pondered for a moment, then spoke amid the laughter of Deng Yuanjue and Bao Daoyi: "First point, since they can find Princess Changping without anyone noticing, wouldn't it be better to rescue her? Why kill her directly?

Second point, since we have to fight sooner or later, why bother? If they win, Princess Changping will still

What are we afraid of? We will naturally use her as a bargaining chip to protect her. If we win, what will we have to do with Princess Changping? Thirdly, why does Jiang Ning want to cremate the princess in a hurry? Although the bones are of a woman, but
