Chapter 89: Scorched and Angry
After seeing off the squire, Hu Kuan looked at the plaque held by Tang Liang enviously: "The general is so lucky. With this plaque, even if someone falsely accused the general, the general will be safe and sound. If there are people in the court, they may be promoted and made a fortune!"
Li Yunzhong took the plaque and put it in Hu Kuan's arms, and smiled and said, "If the magistrate likes it, just take it away. It's not made of gold, so what's so rare!"
The master hurriedly stepped forward to support the magistrate, helped carry the plaque, and whispered: "This General Li is really confused. His name is written on it. How can he give it to others easily? It's good that the gentry and the general have already turned into war on the jade and silk, so don't worry."
Hu Kuan put down the plaque, patted his clothes, and ordered: "Go and put this plaque in the warehouse and store it carefully."
On the calm Poyang Lake, a fleet was accelerating. Jiao Liang stood on the big ship in front, looking at Poyang County, holding his hands behind his waist and walking constantly.
It turns out that the famous "King Jiao Tian" is also a mortal! Hu Mengjun sighed: "Don't worry, your highness is auspicious, and the rebels cannot defeat Poyang City."
Jiao Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was not worried that Poyang County would be captured, but that Jiao Jing would anger King of Han and implicate him and the royal palace.
Why did this happen when Your Highness was about to ascend the throne and become emperor? If King Xu had a dragon seed in the future, when his nephew was fighting for the position of crown prince, those Guangxi people would have an excuse to attack his nephew, which would remind Li Yunzhong of Jiao Jing's rebellion and surrender to the enemy.
"Brother Hu doesn't know that my younger brother has always been terrible and has no opinion. I arranged him in Jingdezhen to make some contributions. Unexpectedly, it hurt him and even more implicated Your Highness. I was smart but was mistaken for being smart. I would have kept him by my side!"
Hu Mengjun comforted: "The King of Han is generous and will not blame the general, but Jiao Jing is hard to say!"
Jiao Liang asked hurriedly, "How do you say this?"
Hu Mengjun boasted of himself and said: "A few days ago, the King of Han ordered the General of Wangcheng to go to Jingdezhen, but unfortunately he was killed by Jiao Jing. There is another thing. When I was in the Hunan Army... When I was undercover, I heard that someone had an affair with the Qing army, which exposed His Highness's whereabouts, which caused His Highness to be surrounded in Qingyun Town. Fortunately, His Highness was alert, so I could take His Highness and his group to Poyang County."
Jiao Liang had the intention to make friends and praised: "It turns out that Brother Hu has the merit of saving the Lord. The King of Han is looking at the kindness. Congratulations to Brother Hu for helping him straight forward."
"Your Magistrate, you're about to arrive!"
Jiao Liangxi said: "If you send the order, the army will immediately head to Poyang County, and there will be no slackness!"
Looking at the shadowy city of Poyang in the distance, Jiao Liang snatched the horses led by his soldiers, jumped up hard, and galloped towards Poyang County with the first horse.
Seeing Zhou Peichun and others pretending to be a siege again, Wang Jinwei pulled Jiao Jing and said anxiously: "They are perfunctory now. We will be in trouble sooner or later. It is still time to escape now. This place is not far from Nanchang City, so let's run away!"
Seeing the cooked duck flying again, Jiao Jing was not willing to accept it, but instead advised Wang Jinwei: "Sir, please wait for another day! This Poyang City is just a county town, with a low wall. As long as we fight a few more times, we will definitely be able to capture Li Yunzhong alive. If I can be the king, I will not treat Mr. unfairly."
Wang Jinwei pointed at the army's attack and cried with a sad face: "Why are you still obsessed with it? Zhou Peichun and the others would not have captured Poyang County. They were obviously planning to do this by perfunctory. I suspect that they have sent someone to notify Governor Jiao, otherwise they would not have stayed in Poyang and would have returned to Jingdezhen long ago! If Governor Jiao knew that you were murdering the King of Han, he would not have skinned you and me. Taking advantage of the opportunity now, let's run away quickly, the farther you and the better!"
When you reach a place where there is no one, you can kill Jiao Jing and go to Nanchang to receive merit. I, Wang Jinwei, will not be promoted or made a fortune!
When Jiao Jing heard that his elder brother was already on the road, he felt dizzy. He now completely regretted it and shouldn't have believed in slander and betrayed the great man. Only now did he realize that he was just a lonely person after leaving his elder brother.
"Wait a little longer, we will have nothing when we go back now. It's better to stay in the big man. I must be the king and let my brother see, I'm not a waste, I can be better than him..." Jiao Jing was about to collapse and was muttering in the same place.
There were guards around him. Wang Jinwei put his mind to kill Jiao Jing back, retreated quietly to the rear camp, intending to escape alone.
Jiao Jing soon found that Wang Jinwei was missing, and he let out a heart-wrenching and completely screamed. He waved his sword to Zhou Peichun next time in amazement. He thought in his heart that Zhou Peichun ruined his dream.
"General Jiao is crazy, take him down!" Ge Yaoming kicked Jiao Jing away and ordered him to tie him up left and right.
Looking at Jiao Jing who was crazy, Zhou Peichun was completely out of his mind and asked, "What should we do? Otherwise, kill the Jiao person now, expose his anger, and then join the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
"Governor Jiao is here...Governor Jiao is here..." A cheer sounded from time to time in the camp.
Jiao Liang rushed over alone, and under the guidance of everyone, he soon came to Zhou Peichun and others.
"You bastards, who told you to leave Jingdezhen without authorization and dare to besiege Poyang? I am not afraid that our military law will deal with you!" Jiao Liang pointed at Zhou Peichun and others and shouted angrily.
Ge Yaoming and others were frightened. As soon as they caught the younger one, the older one came to ask for punishment. When the thief was guilty, they slowly signaled the brothers present to surround Jiao Liang.
Looking at Zhou Peichun and others who were silent, Jiao Liang felt a "knock" in his heart and shouted quickly: "What do you want to do? My army is behind us and can come at any time. You should tell the truth about the past and the consequences. For the sake of your military achievements, you can do it with ease."
Sure enough, seeing some cavalry outside the camp, Zhou Peichun scolded to the brothers: "Put down your weapons quickly, Governor Jiao is very wise, you should bring General Jiao here."
Ge Yaoming hurriedly cleared his responsibilities: "Governor General clearly understands that our troops abandoned Jingdezhen and attacked Poyang County after being ordered by General Jiao. General Jiao also said it was your order. There were Jiangxi Governor Jiang Zhongyuan and other high-ranking officials in the city. They ordered us to kill all the Qing army without leaving any one!"
Looking at Jiao Jing tied up, Jiao Liang kicked her hard and cursed: "You have been brave enough to kill the King of Han? Do you know that doing this will harm our whole family! Why do you do this?"
Jiao Jing's eyes flashed, and she didn't dare to answer, so she could only cry.
"You are still crying. How can you let me explain to Your Highness? Tell me quickly, who is your instruction?" Jiao Liang only hopes that Jiao Jing is an accomplice, so that he might be able to save his life.
