After a long while, he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that you even knew about this. Then do you know why Qian Changshi killed those officers and soldiers?"
Wang Ji's heart froze and he thought: "Why is King Han so concerned about this matter?" He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
King Han asked again: "Have you told Wu Chengsi about this?"
Wang Ji took the opportunity to explain: "Your Highness, have you ever thought about whether your people might have mistakenly recognized the wrong person and mistook Zhang Yushi for the Prince of Changping County."
Magistrate Jiang immediately shouted: "Fart, my government officials saw Wu Chengsi entering your house with their own eyes, don't talk nonsense!" He finally understood that at this time he could only fight to the end.
Seeing how anxious he was, Wang Ji smiled instead and said: "County Magistrate Jiang, I can't understand your mood. If you admit that you have seen the wrong person at this time, His Highness the King of Han will never forgive you."
"You, don't slander anyone!" County Magistrate Jiang said anxiously.
Wang Ji shook his head and said slowly: "The fact is the fact. Prince Changping is not in my house, so why are you holding on like this?"
At this moment, Qian Deguang came out with a fat face without any color. He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, Wu Chengsi was not found inside!"
King Han's face instantly turned dark, he stared at Magistrate Jiang and said, "Are you really entertaining me?"
Magistrate Jiang fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, someone under my command really saw it, really saw it!"
King Han said sharply: "What about Wu Chengsi?"
"I... don't know, maybe... maybe he escaped!"
"You bastard!" King Han kicked Magistrate Jiang in the face, turned to his eldest son, and said coldly: "You wouldn't cooperate with them to deceive me, right?"
Prince Yingchuan said hurriedly: "Father, I heard what they said about Wu Chengsi. I didn't bring anyone with me when I came to Hangzhou, and there's no way to verify it!"
"Won't you send someone into the palace to confirm in advance?" King Han shouted.
Qian Deguang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I thought that sending someone into the mansion for confirmation would frighten others, so I suggested that Your Highness wait for orders from you and His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Please punish me!"
King Han stared at him coldly for a while, exhaled a long breath, raised his head and said: "That's all, the matter is over, what's the use of punishing you."
After a pause, he added: "But having said that, we made a mistake this time and discovered a hidden danger. Take a look at this?"
Hand him the evidence of Qian Deguang's crime.
After Qian Deguang read it, his face turned green and he said: "Your Majesty, many of these contents are false accusations..."
"Okay, don't I know your story yet? Look at this." He pointed at the killing of Zhe Chong Mansion officers and soldiers.
Qian Deguang's heart tightened, and he suddenly looked at Wang Ji and said, "How did you know about this?"
Wang Ji sneered: "Is there any point in asking this now?"
After speaking, he glanced at both sides of the street.
Wu Chengsi's people still didn't show up, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to death.
His eyes turned to Zhang Yushi and Geng Jian with a somewhat apologetic expression.
Before Zhang Yushi realized the situation and was a little confused, he heard King Han turn around and say: "It's all dealt with, don't leave any traces." There was no emotion in his voice.
Zhang Yushi's heart skipped a beat and he shouted: "His Royal Highness, King Han, what do you mean by this?"
However, Li Yuanjia left without looking back, and Prince Yingchuan also left with him.
"Wang Shijun, who are they?" Zhang Yushi's eyes widened, and he really couldn't believe what was about to happen.
Wang Ji didn't reply. He suddenly made a strange move, kneeling on the ground with one knee and his ears lying on the ground.
Qian Deguang said pitifully: "Prince Wang, it's too late to beg for mercy now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in his ears, and he immediately understood that Wang Ji was lying on the ground and was listening to the sound.
"Wang Ji, don't you think that the sound of horse hooves is coming to save your life?" Qian Deguang laughed.
County magistrate Jiang said proudly: "Your Excellency, Governor, this is Hangzhou, and the troops are all ours. You'd better give up."
Wang Ji stood up, his eyes flashed with light, and he said with a smile: "Qian Deguang, can you recognize the sound of the hooves of your Zhechongfu cavalry?"
Qian Deguang naturally couldn't recognize it, but he also understood the meaning of Wang Ji's words and said sarcastically: "You have a good ear. It is true that the troops here are not from Hangzhou, but transferred from Yangzhou."
Wang Ji said calmly: "The ones coming are definitely not any of Jianghuai's troops."
Seeing his attitude, Qian Deguang felt a little guilty and couldn't help but said, "How do you know?"
As the two talked, the sound of hoofbeats became louder and louder, and the light in Wang Ji's eyes became brighter and brighter. He smiled and said, "Of course you, a military layman like you, can't distinguish the sound of horse hoofbeats."
Qian Deguang was secretly frightened. Wang Ji had served as a doctor in the Ministry of War, so his words were naturally well-founded.
In addition, when Li Yuhui talked with King Han just now, he also mentioned that Zuo Wujun was coming to Hangzhou.
It can't be such a coincidence!
Qian Deguang's heart was beating fast and he couldn't help but look towards the street.
Not only him, but also Magistrate Jiang, Wang Ji, Zhang Yushi and Geng Jian all craned their necks to look at the street.
Then, they saw a group of Thousand Oxen Guards.
Qian Deguang's heart sank to the bottom. Although he was not Zuo Wujun, Qian Niuwei was obviously Wu Chengsi's man.
The street was blocked and guarded by thousands of government officials. Being able to break through the government officials' blockade showed that the opponent's number was extremely large.
"It's General Wang Fangyi!" Wang Ji said loudly, feeling indescribably excited. He had won the bet!
Qian Deguang's face became increasingly pale. He did not know Wang Fangyi, but he also knew that Wang Fangyi left Chang'an with Wu Chengsi.
I saw this group of Qianniu Guards approaching slowly. Wang Fangyi, who was leading the team, turned around and dismounted, walked up to the crowd, and said loudly: "The order of the Governor of Fengwu, all the officials of Hangzhou Prefecture are to go to Lijia Village to wait for orders. There must be no mistake!"
Wang Ji said loudly: "Wang Ji, the governor of Hangzhou, has received the order from the governor! General Wang, do you want me to notify other officials immediately?"
Wang Fangyi shook his head and said: "No need. I have already been to the governor's office before coming here. Zheng Sima has already taken the officials of the governor's office and set off first. The only ones left are the governor, the chief governor and the Chang'an county magistrate."
He looked around and said, "His Royal Highness has specifically stated that the Chang'an County Magistrate must go there. He should be here."
Magistrate Jiang's face turned pale, his legs were slightly bent, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet.
Wang Ji smiled and said: "The general has come just in time. Qian Changshi and County Magistrate Jiang are both here."
Wang Fangyi nodded, ordered his men to fetch three horses, and said: "Get on the horse quickly and follow me to see His Highness!"
Wang Ji immediately got on his horse, but Qian Deguang and Jiang Ping remained motionless.
Jiang Ping was so frightened that his legs went weak, while Qian Deguang looked at the street, seemingly looking for something.
Wang Fangyi said coldly: "What, do you two want me to help you get on your horse?"
"Wait!" a voice came from far away.
I saw King Li Yuanjia of Han and Prince Yingchuan coming with people from the other side of the street. He came back to take a look because he heard the sound of horse hooves and became worried.
After seeing Qianniu Guard, he didn't know that they were sent by Wu Chengsi.
He glared at his eldest son fiercely, feeling that it was because of his son's incompetence that he was tricked by Wu Chengsi.
"I have met His Highness King Han, and I have met His Highness King Yingchuan." Wang Fangyi cupped his hands.
King Han said coldly: "Where is King Changping?"
"His Royal Highness is in Lijia Village."
"He has been in Hangzhou all this time?"
"If His Highness the King of Han is interested in His Highness's itinerary, it would be better to go to Lijiacun and ask His Highness face to face." Wang Fangyi replied.
Li Yuanjia was silent for a while and said slowly: "I am going to see him, but before that, I would like to have a private chat with Governor Wang."
Before Wang Fangyi could speak, Wang Ji had already said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, the Governor has ordered all Hangzhou officials to go to see him. I am anxious to see the Governor. You may as well wait for your business."
Seeing that Wang Ji did not save any face for him, King Han's face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly: "Prince Wang, this is Hangzhou after all. I hope you will remember this and stop talking nonsense later."
Wang Ji raised his head and smiled, saying: "Your Majesty was so decisive when he turned around just now, and now he says these words again, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Wang Fangyi glanced at Wang Ji and frowned slightly.
He was originally wondering why there were government officials blocking the way on his way here, but now he saw Wang Ji and Han Wang tit for tat, and he vaguely understood something.
King Yingchuan said angrily: "Wang Ji, how dare you talk to my father like this?"
Wang Ji didn't even look at him. He turned to Wang Fangyi and said, "General Wang, let's go there quickly. In addition, I hope to bring a few people with me. I will report to His Highness later."
He was worried that Zhang Yushi and Geng Jian and his son would stay in the city, lest they be silenced by the King of Han.
Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "Okay." He turned to King Han and said, "Your Highness, the general still has military orders with him, so I will leave first."
"Wait a minute!" King Han glanced at Wang Ji coldly and said, "I said I wanted to see King Changping, so naturally I want to go with you."
In the blink of an eye, everyone outside the palace gate followed the army and left.
