The bright moon is high and the cool breeze is blowing.
The river breeze blows, which makes me feel refreshed.
Tang Fu and others looked at the two strong His Highnesses, who were forced to get into the carriage, and a large family was stuffed in.
Due to the clan's prestige, the search department didn't dare to do too much, so they could only let him curse and leave.
However, everyone is confused. Just to arrest these two people, as for such a big move? Locking down the city is a bit too much!
Immediately, Sun Changzhou looked at the long street. It was quiet and deserted, with sparse lights, and now there were no lights at all.
"Walk!"
Immediately, everyone escorted the carriage and walked quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the entire convoy left Jiujiang City.
In another place, in a large and luxurious house, a group of generals were gathering together, sitting in small groups. There were no singers or dancers, only plates of unpalatable food.
"Why, why haven't you eaten yet?"
At this time, a general sitting in the main seat, with a big body and a round waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, was holding a drink and asked loudly.
"Bang——" The food on the table dodged in fear, and several jars of wine suddenly rolled down and broke into eight petals.
The sudden sound silenced the entire scene.
All the generals raised their heads one after another, their eyes full of doubts.
"General, why is this?"
"Why?" Han Long looked ugly:
"At the beginning, they talked about trying cases, investigating cases, and all lawsuits, but they were taken away; then they started arresting fugitives and collecting taxes. Now they are becoming more and more unscrupulous."
"Governor He told us to protect the entire Jiujiang City, but now they are so unscrupulous that both princes have been captured."
"We saw it with our own eyes and didn't dare to speak loudly."
Hearing this, the generals shouted:
"General, Governor He has left, leaving two thousand of us guarding half of Jiujiang City. They give face to the Governor, but not to us."
At this moment, everyone's grievances burst out instantly. As an outcast, what else can you do now?
At this time, Han Long was exhausted mentally and physically.
At this point, trying to control half of Jiujiang City with just two thousand people has become a joke.
But as a servant and from Guizhou, how could he surrender so easily? Moreover, he was an officer and soldier of the imperial court.
No matter how powerful the King of Yu is, he is still just a clan king.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, it was so difficult.
The two princes were captured alive in Jiujiang City. They could only watch helplessly as the entire Jiujiang City became the domain of King Yu.
This deep sense of powerlessness is depressing.
"have they gone?"
Han Long raised his head and saw his servant running out, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Master, everyone is gone."
The servant spoke.
"That's good!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, the embarrassing moment was finally over.
"Clang-"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, like the sound of the door being broken.
Suddenly, a large number of people walked in, carrying weapons.
"General Han Long, you are so elegant and enjoy wine so much, how can you not have food to accompany the wine?"
Sun Changzhou walked in with his head held high and glanced at the astonished generals, grinning.
"you?"
When Han Long saw that he was surrounded, his heart sank: "Are you from King Yu?"
"That's right!"
Sun Changzhou looked around with a smile on his face: "Hey, we have it all together, so I don't have to look around for it."
"I am willing to surrender to King Yu!"
Han Long's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly spoke loudly, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"We are also willing to submit to King Yu!"
Seeing that the situation was over, all the generals rushed to speak.
The city gates are tightly closed, and anyone who is not a fool will know that there is a premeditated plan before leaving the city.
At this moment, it is better to surrender than to resist stubbornly. Besides, they have no capital to resist.
"Hahaha!" Seeing the pleading looks on everyone's faces, Sun Changzhou laughed:
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and it seems that everyone here is indeed a hero! His Royal Highness the King of Yu embraces all rivers and is not stingy with real talents."
Sun Changzhou was in a good mood after capturing 2,000 soldiers and horses without losing any blood and taking over Jiujiang City completely.
They heard the sarcasm in the words, but no one, including Han Long, dared to speak nonsense.
As a result, the team for this trip expanded again.
The streets are messy and cramped, paved with blue bricks, with a layer of black dirt on the surface. Horse-drawn carriages make a crisp sound while walking along them.
There were no lights on both sides, but inside the doors and windows, there were pairs of eyes and trembling people hugging each other.
The bright moon tilted and the fog began to rise.
Stepping on the relatively neat blue bricks, Sun Changzhou looked at the carriages filing out and couldn't help but sigh:
"Two princes, two thousand troops, and half of Jiujiang City are now in the bag. This trip is not in vain."
Compared with the entire Huguang, Jiujiang City is just a remote corner.
In the huge Huguang Province, along with the rainy season, the search department went on a rampage.
Counties and prefectures, relying solely on King Yu's orders, went on a rampage and arrested them without mercy on the charge of colluding with bandits.
This time, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
A large number of gentry were surprised, officials were dissatisfied, and people in the countryside and cities were panicked.
In order to prevent chaos, Zhu Yixi directly asked the local garrison in the name of the Chief of Staff to maintain order and maintain stability in the city.
There must not be any riots.
At this time, in Xiangyang City, Zhao Shu belatedly received the local report and browsed it with a frown.
"The unified reply is that this is a search for rebellion and there is no intention to disturb the local area."
After saying something irritably, Zhao Shu ignored it.
He rubbed his temples. This unprecedented pressure was all on his shoulders.
I can't help it, that's what I do as a subordinate.
At this time, Yan Chongxin asked to see him.
"Why is Commander Yan so free?"
Zhao Shu said softly, looking at his hesitant face and thinking deeply in his heart.
"I really need something to ask for."
Yan Chongxin said bravely: "Businessmen, guilds, and gentry from all over the country have hosted numerous banquets, so they just want to plead with King Yu..."
"This matter has been settled, so let's forget about asking for mercy!"
Zhao Shu shook his head and said helplessly: "Not only you, but also me are begging for mercy. It is hard to violate the king's order, so you should think about how to deal with the aftermath!"
"Alas!" Yan Chongxin sighed and asked him to go to King Yu. He didn't have the courage. Even the head of Zhao couldn't do anything, so it really wouldn't work.
The Military and Political Department and the Transportation Department chose to remain silent.
Naturally, for Feng Xianzong, who had more junior qualifications, he was busy handling miscellaneous tasks in the staff department and did not dare to participate in the slightest.
Zhang Shenyan hesitated again and again and had to give up.
"Master, why don't you go and talk about it?"
Zhang Wencheng was surprised and said that this was not in line with his temper.
"Say? What did you say?"
Zhang Shenyan said angrily: "I am the chief historian of Prince Yu's palace at this time, so I have no control over these matters."
He is not stupid, this is obviously to arrange positions for the experienced talents in the Military and Political Department, and to make friends with the gentry, but he is cruel to those he offends.
The top-level bureaucrats chose to remain silent and the army was on standby. After all, the gentry and officials had no choice but to keep to themselves.
As a result, the move that almost completely changed the entire Huguang ended in peace.
As a result, the Search Division became famous, almost as famous as Jinyiwei.
