Chapter 230 Xiaohou's initiative

At the gate of Jianghou Mansion, swords were in full swing.

He Changsheng wanted the knight at the door to report, but the other party refused directly.

Obviously, they are deliberately making things difficult.

The relationship between the two parties has always been on the same level. Now that people from the Taiwan Yamen come here, the people from the Jianghou Mansion will definitely not be polite.

But at this moment, Wu Wencheng suddenly came out from the house carrying a birdcage and several nurses.

Seeing the posture of the two sides in front of him, Wu Wencheng was stunned: "What happened?"

A knight at the door quickly raised his hand and saluted: "Young Master, these people said they are here to summon you to the Zhetai Yamen for questioning. I think they want to do you harm, so I don't want them to come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said: "Little Marquis, I am here on the order of Marquis Wu'an. I just ask you to come and ask a few words."

Wu Wencheng chuckled softly after hearing this, with a nonchalant look on his face: "It turns out that Marquis Wu An invited me over. Come on, I'll accompany you. Marquis Wu An is also serious. If you have anything to do, just come and ask me."

Why make such a fuss?"

With that said, he handed the birdcage in his hand to the guardian beside him, and then stepped out of Jianghou Mansion.

He Changsheng and Tian Dazhuang were stunned. They didn't expect Wu Wencheng to be so easy to talk to.

This is different from what they imagined.

But no matter what, Wu Wencheng was willing to go with them, and their mission was completed, which greatly relieved them.

"Young Master, please come this way!" He Changsheng also became polite to Wu Wencheng.

But at this moment, the leading knight captain's face darkened: "Little Marquis, do you know what you are doing? If you go away, you may not be able to come back!"

They had a falling out with Su Cheng last night, so it would not be a wise move to go to the Taiyuan Yamen at this time.

Wu Wencheng glanced at the captain, with a look of irritation on his lips: "Why, what do I want to do, do I still need your consent?"

The cold words and impatient tone scared the captain and he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Little Marquis, that's not what I meant. It's just that the matter is serious. Why don't you inform the Marquis first and then make a decision?"

As a servant, the captain naturally did not dare to question or block Wu Wencheng's decision, but as a knight trained by Wu Pengju, the captain thought he should dissuade him!

Of course, he also knew that his words had no effect, so he moved out of Wu Pengju.

"Putting my father on me?"

Wu Wencheng snorted coldly: "Let me tell you, I went to the Yamen of Zhetai this time to repair the relationship with Marquis Wu'an. There is actually no need for the two of us to get into this kind of trouble."

"We are all respectable people. It will not be good for anyone if the quarrel continues. If the relationship between the two parties can be repaired, it will be good for everyone!"

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? Brother He, just lead the way!"

He Changsheng immediately made way, bowed his hands and said in salute: "Thank you, young Marquis, for your understanding of righteousness. Please come this way!"

Wu Wencheng nodded slightly and went to the Yamen of Zhetai under the escort of the Zhetai Yamen.

The knights at the door looked at each other, and the leader's eyes turned cold. He pointed at one of the knights and said: "You should leave the city immediately and inform the Marquis, and I will take people to the Taiyuan Yamen!"

Today, Wu Pengju personally went to the military camp outside the city in order to let Liu Changfeng go to suppress the bandits. He was not at home at the moment. Now that Wu Wencheng was asked to leave by the people from the Yamen of Zhetai, they could only notify Wu Pengju immediately and go to Zhetai at the same time.

The Yamen protects Wu Wencheng just in case!

The knights split up and acted separately, but when the people on the street saw Wu Wencheng leaving with the people from the Zhentai Yamen, they immediately started talking.

"Look, isn't that the young Marquis? Why did he leave with the people from the Zhentai Yamen?"

"Isn't it obvious? Marquis Wu An must be asking the young Marquis to question him!"

"Could Marquis Jiang let this matter go?"

"You don't know yet, but Marquis Jiang is not in the house right now, otherwise he would definitely not let the young Marquis go to the Yamen in Taitai."

"Why do you think the young marquis wants to go to the Yamen of Zhetai? Doesn't Jianghou Mansion have knights? He can refuse at all. These Yamen servants of Zhetai are no match for the knights of the Jianghou Mansion."

Everyone said everything, but they didn't dare to say that Wu Pengju forced Han Bing to death. Wu Pengju had given him a gag order. Whoever dared to discuss this matter would be in trouble!

But now Wu Wencheng left with the government officials, which inevitably made the people a little curious. The Marquis of Wu'an was so courageous that he didn't let go when things got to this point.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, since they know that the murderer is Han Bing and Han Bing is also dead, there is no need to continue the investigation, which will only offend Wu Pengju to death.

When two marquises quarreled, their people would suffer in the end. It would be better for one party to give in and the matter would end there.

For a time, the people on the street started discussing the dispute between the two princes!

Some people are optimistic about Wu Pengju, thinking that Jianghou is a veteran marquis who has a strong foundation in the court and also controls the military power of Jiang Province.

But some people are optimistic about Su Cheng. They feel that Su Cheng is a relative of the emperor and has the title of Marquis personally granted by the emperor. With the emperor's support, Su Cheng will definitely win.

Just as everyone was talking, the cavalry had already rode out of Linjiang City and arrived at the military camp outside the city as quickly as possible.

The military camps that stretch for several miles are full of soldier sentries. It is daytime at the moment, and the soldiers inside are practicing. The loud slogans are shouting out like loud bells!

On the high platform in front of the soldiers, Wu Pengju, with a determined look on his face, was staring at the drill with his eyes filled with relief.

These soldiers were all trained by Wu Pengju. If he can make great achievements in the future, Wu Pengju will definitely leave his name in history!

Just as Wu Pengju was deep in thought, the knight who came to report quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I have met the Marquis!"

Wu Pengju glanced at the panicked and panting knight, raised his brows, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.

"Didn't I teach you not to panic when things happen, but to stay calm? Why are you so panicked? It seems that you didn't keep my teachings in mind!"

The knight smiled bitterly and immediately said: "Master Marquis, the young master has followed the yamen servant to the Yamen of Zhetai!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Pengju, who was still calm at first, suddenly changed his expression, his body turned into an afterimage, and he instantly came to the knight's side, grabbed his collar and lifted it up.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Wu Pengju's face was filled with ferociousness, and murderous intent burst out from every part of his body.

The knight was so frightened that he trembled all over, and then quickly recounted what happened at the gate of Jianghou Mansion.

After hearing this, Wu Pengju felt angry, threw the knight away, and immediately roared:

"Come here, gather all the troops and horses, I will defeat the Yamen of Zhetai today!"

Wu Pengju was angry.

His own son was called to Taiwan for questioning. If this matter spreads, the Wu family's reputation will be lost!
