Chapter 193: Some people and things will eventually come to an end
"...Uncle Ning and Brother Jin are now being held in Yongning Military Prison, and they may only have half their lives left!"
When Ma Sanzhuang said this, he suddenly stood up from his seat, knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng with a pop, and said with a cry: "Commander, please try to save them quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid they won't survive."
The expression on Zhang Cheng's face was unexpectedly calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. He fondled the teacup on the desk with his left hand and asked softly: "He will be ready when he is thrown into Yongning Military Prison."
How many days? When did Chen Zhong receive the message? Please tell me again!"
…………
It turned out that Jin Xiaoguo and a group of brothers had roped in Ning Guangyuan and were about to rush to Yongning City to redeem Ning Guangyuan's best friend Liu Jinzhi. How could Ning Guangyuan rely solely on Jin Xiaoguo's funds to help him?
He was so cruel that he secretly withdrew three thousand taels of silver from the tax department's account room.
On May 20th, they arrived at Yongning City after a long journey, but there was no need for Dushikou in Yongning, and they had no foundation here. Once they entered Qixiangfang, they could not see Liu Jinzhi for three consecutive days.
Even if Ning Guangyuan offered to redeem Liu Jinzhi with the three thousand taels of silver he brought, the old madam would not even look at him. Even if Jin Xiaoguo added hundreds of acres of land deeds to his family, it would still be of no avail.
Later, it was Jin Xiaoguo who got some money from another fan. The old bustard had sold Liu Jinzhi to Zeng Jinlai, the uncle of Zhang Guowei, the deputy general of Xuanzhen. He was scheduled to pick him up in a big red sedan chair in three days.
Liu Jinzhi came through.
This Liu Jinzhi was also in his prime, and she naturally liked Ning Guangyuan's suave style. How could she like Zeng Jinlai, who was nearly sixty years old and had exhausted his life?
It happened that on May 25th, Jin Xiaoguo paid off the former fan with 500 taels of silver, so that Ning Guangyuan could disguise himself to meet Liu Jinzhi privately, and made an appointment to wait for Zeng Jin to come to welcome the bride the next day.
After getting off the sedan chair, I took Liu Jinzhi back to Dushikou.
Unexpectedly, walls have ears, and all this plan was known to the old madam in advance, and she actually told Zeng Jinlai privately.
As a result, on May 26th, everything was normal for the first half of the day. Jin Xiaoguo and his men robbed the sedan chair outside the south gate of Yongning City and galloped towards the place where their horses were parked.
Ning Guangyuan was surrounded by hundreds of troops.
After a fight, four of the seven A-Zhong brothers who came with Jin Xiaoguo were killed on the spot. He himself was injured because he wanted to protect Ning Guangyuan and fell to the ground.
Under Jin Xiaoguo's various urgings, the remaining three had no choice but to fight their way out of the siege first and then make plans later. However, the three of them were all injured. Faced with this situation, they were helpless, so they first found someone lurking in the dense forest outside the city.
The two companions and horses were hidden in order to find out the news.
As a result, news was found the next day that bandits nearby were trying to seize the newly married concubine of the deputy commander-in-chief Zeng Jinlai's uncle, but four of them were killed on the spot and two were captured.
And because he was captured on the spot and all the stolen goods were taken away, there was no need to interrogate him. As long as he was found dead, he would be punished and beheaded in front of the Guandi Temple outside the city to warn all thieves!
They did not dare to neglect, so they left the three injured people to continue to lurk in Yongning. The two brothers in Jiazhong could no longer care about anything else. They rode three horses and rode all night without rest, and rushed back to Dushikou for help.
At dusk on May 28th, I rushed to Dushikou Fort City. I was so anxious that I didn't know where to go for help. I had no choice but to report the matter to Chen Zheng, the camp leader.
After Chen Zheng heard the news, he didn't dare to make the decision without authorization because Ning Guangyuan was involved, so he asked Chen Zhong to discuss how to deal with it.
At this time, the heavy cavalry department and the light cavalry department in the cavalry camp had all moved to Chicheng and Yunzhou. Only Chen Zhong's cavalry department was still stationed in Dushikou, because he was also responsible for reconnaissance of outposts, in addition to obtaining water sources and other terrain
In addition to the information, Su Yiyang must also be assisted in recruiting those small forces in the Mongolian tribe that are not willing to surrender to the slaves.
Although Jin Xiaoguo was also involved in this matter, after discussing it, the two of them concluded that the other party was Zhang Guowei, the deputy commander in chief, after all, and Ning Guangyuan's identity was obviously higher than Jin Xiaoguo's in their eyes.
Therefore, Jin Xinpeng was not informed, lest he get excited and mess up the deployment. In addition to ordering the entire infantry camp to be on alert and not to leave the military camp without permission, he sent Ma Sanzhuang to rush to Chicheng to report to Zhang Cheng, while Chen Zhong led the
Traveling on horseback to Chicheng to prepare for emergencies.
…………
At this moment, Ma Sanzhuang knelt on the ground and replied: "Uncle Ning was thrown into Yongning Military Prison on the 26th. Mr. Chen only believed it last night. The commander-in-chief must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise he is afraid of danger.
ah!"
"Damn it, does my uncle insist that we do some exercise when he sees that we are too idle?"
Zhang Cheng still had a nonchalant expression on his face and shouted loudly at the door: "Li Changsheng, come in!"
The hall door opened, Li Changsheng strode forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Please give me your orders, Commander-in-Chief."
"Order to escort Bureau B and Bureau C of the Thousand Headquarters to return to the team and go out for a walk with me at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Remember, everyone must wear casual clothes and are not allowed to carry long weapons. All have short muskets, and short-sighted soldiers are the main ones."
"Here!"
Li Changsheng took the order loudly. He was as clean and neat as ever, never saying a word of nonsense.
"Ma Sanzhuang, please get up and go down to rest first!" Ma Sanzhuang also obeyed the order and got up and left.
Zhang Cheng stood up and came to the window, looking at the setting sun outside the window. He said casually: "Some people and things, just like the sunset on the horizon, will eventually come to an end!"
…………
On May 30th, Shenshi, the sky was overcast but there was no rain. People in Yongning City felt very depressed and depressed.
"Mom, it's so hot and muggy today, it's better to have a heavy rain..."
There were few pedestrians on the street, but there were a few people gathering at the tea stall next to the street to drink tea, and one person was cursing the sultry and prodigal weather.
"What the hell is this guy? It feels weird..."
Another person looked at the dozens of strong men walking by on the street, his eyes full of doubts. He saw that each of the group of people were wearing long black clothes, and they seemed to be hiding something underneath. They were wearing bamboo hats on their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Hey, what the hell, with Deputy Commander Zhang sitting in the city, he can still turn the world upside down..."
An older man said with a smile, and everyone seemed to agree with his words, so they stopped talking to the group of men in black on the street and continued drinking tea and chatting.
Yongning City is located at the foot of Tuanshan Mountain. It takes the meaning of "Ning Wei Yong" in "The Book of Books". The city is square, with a circumference of six miles and thirteen steps. The city is about four feet high, with four gates in the east, west, south and north, and an urn city.
.
Not far from the west gate of Yongning City is the official office of the General Guards. Across from a small martial arts hall is the official office of the Yongning Guards. In the area around the east gate of the city, there are the Patrol Procuratorate Office and the Garrison Office. The east gate and north gate
Outside the gate there is a school ground, a martial arts hall, a general stage, a horse farm, stables, etc.
Since the 28th year of the Jiajing reign, a deputy general of the Associated Defense Forces has been stationed in Yongning City as usual. He is responsible for supervising the military affairs and defense affairs of the East Road and the North Road. From then on, the East Road General was in place at times.
