Chapter 346 Clean up the party members and stop the patrol camp!
When the news of King Wu's surrender reached Su Cheng's ears, he was not surprised.
At present, the situation in the city has been brought under control. All that is left is to capture Shangguan Hao's accomplices. King Wu is not a fool. How dare he resist at this time.
Without the support of three armies, the King of Wu was left alone and had no choice but to surrender.
In the manor, Su Cheng smiled after hearing the news sent by King Zhao.
According to the plan with him, after accepting the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce, the cooperation between me and King Zhao will be smoother."
Hearing this, the man suddenly smiled and said: "The words of the Marquis are enough. I will go back and report the news!"
As soon as this person left, Su Cheng immediately ordered: "He Changsheng, Tian Dazhuang, and Shen Xingyu, the three of you immediately take people to arrest people according to the list in the ledger. Arrest all officials who have accepted bribes from the Shangguan family!"
As soon as these words came out, He Changsheng was a little confused: "Master Hou, are so many people going to be arrested? This will cause shock to the court. At least half of the officials will be arrested!"
There were too many lists in the account book, and He Chang was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy if they really arrested people.
If the emperor had ordered this matter, there would definitely be no problem, but Su Cheng was just a prince. If he suddenly ordered the arrest of those officials, they would definitely resist.
Once you kill someone, things get out of hand.
Even Shen Xingyu, who has always been taciturn, nodded in agreement: "Brother-in-law, do we have to wait until His Majesty returns to make a decision on this matter?"
Su Cheng shook his head: "You are wrong. When His Majesty comes back, once Shangguan Hao finds out that he failed, he will definitely unite these officials to put pressure on Your Majesty. By then, His Majesty will face the pressure of so many officials, will he choose to sacrifice me?
Woolen cloth?"
"We take the first step and arrest these officials. His Majesty has no choice but to deal with these people."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Youwei's eyes lit up and she gave him a thumbs up with admiration on her face: "My husband is still thoughtful!"
He Changsheng and others reacted, and without saying much, they immediately led the soldiers to arrest the person.
The three of them were divided into three teams, each holding an account book. They had a clear division of labor and were ready to capture this group of people in the shortest possible time.
Now that more than an hour has passed since the battle ended, they must capture these officials before the emperor, Shangguan Hao and others return!
Soon, outside the residence of the Minister of Revenue, He Changsheng came with people, but the door was closed. No matter how they called people, they would not open the door!
He Changsheng snorted coldly: "The Marquis said that if anyone resists, he will be killed without mercy. Rush in and kill anyone who resists!"
The government soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, and the servants in the residence of the Minister of Hubu did not dare to stop him. Soon, He Changsheng and others captured the Minister of Hubu.
"How dare you! I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How dare you arrest me? When His Majesty comes back, I must read the book of Marquis Wu'an!"
No matter how loud the Minister of Household Affairs was, He Changsheng remained indifferent.
At the same time, Tian Dazhuang and Shen Xingyu on the other two sides also started arresting people.
The strange thing is that despite their high-profile action, no one from the patrol camp showed up. Even if someone went to the patrol camp to report the news, no one came out.
The reason is very simple. At this moment, Su Cheng has blocked the generals of the patrol camp in the barracks!
In the hall of the patrol camp, Su Cheng and a burly man wearing black armor and full beards were sitting side by side in the main seat. Below him, the left and right sides were filled with generals wearing battle armor.
Su Cheng held the tea cup and drank the tea gently. His movements were extremely light and he didn't seem to be in any hurry to explain his purpose.
On the contrary, the bearded general beside him was a little uneasy, and his face with the Chinese character "Guo" was full of worry.
This person was none other than General Zhaowu Han Yutang of the patrol camp.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Yutang couldn't help but asked Su Cheng: "I wonder why Marquis Wu'an came to my patrol camp?"
He had just received news that Su Cheng's soldiers were arresting officials in the city. If the patrol camp ignored this matter, it would inevitably reach the emperor's ears. By then, he would be in big trouble.
The patrol battalion is responsible for public security in the city. If so many officials are arrested and they do nothing, it would be a dereliction of duty!
If you neglect your duties, you will be dismissed and investigated!
Han Yutang is in a panic now. He hopes that Su Cheng will leave quickly so that he can lead people to stop Su Cheng's soldiers from arresting people. It is better to stop as many as possible than to send no troops now!
But when Su Cheng heard this, he looked deeply at Han Yutang: "General Han, why are you nervous?"
Han Yutang's face twitched and he sneered: "What do Marquis Wu An mean by these words? How can I be nervous?"
Su Cheng chuckled: "Really? Then why did I notice something wrong with General Han's expression from the moment I came here? Does this mean I am not welcome to come?"
Han Yutang waved his hand quickly: "The Marquis is joking, how can I not welcome the Marquis here? I am just curious about the Marquis' sudden visit."
Su Cheng put down the teacup and said with a look of relief on his face: "Really? Are you surprised that I am here? No, I thought General Han knew exactly the purpose of my coming here."
"I really don't know, please let me know for sure!" Han Yutang handed over his hand, looking like he was asking for advice humbly.
As long as Su Cheng is willing to talk, don't stay here all the time. He is still waiting to lead his troops out to stop Su Cheng's government soldiers from arresting people.
Su Cheng looked at Han Yutang's appearance. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a serious look: "It seems that General Han wants to pretend to be confused. Since you don't want to say it, then I will come."
Let me remind you, why didn’t Gongyuan send anyone to support you when they besieged you?”
As soon as these words came out, Han Yutang suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
He originally wanted to provide support. After all, such a big thing happened in the city. If his patrol battalion did not send troops, he would definitely be punished.
But Shangguan Hao sent someone to inform him that if he sent troops, he would be Shangguan Hao's enemy, and even General Yelu Hongsheng would not be able to protect him.
Based on fear of Shangguan Hao, Han Yutang did not send troops to support him!
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng actually came to the door and mentioned the matter, which was tantamount to putting the conflict between the two on the table!
Now, Han Yutang didn’t know how to deal with it. Han Yutang
"Marquis Wu'an, this matter..."
"Okay, General Han doesn't need to explain to me. When His Majesty comes back, you can explain it to His Majesty in person!"
Su Cheng suddenly stood up and stared at Han Yutang: "However, since General Han did not help me, he will probably not stop me from arresting those officials now, right?"
"Those people are all Shangguan Hao's accomplices. If General Han blocks me at this moment, then you are with Shangguan Hao!"
These words made Han Yutang's face change drastically!
He had not sent troops to stop Shangguan Hao's soldiers from attacking Su Cheng before, and now he was sending troops to stop Su Cheng's people from arresting the officials bribed by Shangguan Hao. The emperor would definitely feel that he had been bribed by Shangguan's family!
Thinking of this, Han Yutang immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Marquis Wu'an, your soldiers are arresting Shangguan Hao's associates this time, and I will not lead anyone to stop him!"
Su Cheng laughed when he heard this: "With General Han's words, I am relieved!"
After securing the patrol camp and no one to stop them, He Changsheng and the others successfully captured the officials under Shangguan Hao's influence.
At this time, the emperor, Shangguan Hao and others were also rushing to the city!
