Zhu Danyang was helped into the hall, and several generals of the city defense army immediately stepped aside.
Although they were Huang Kui's generals, they did not dare to ignore Zhu Danyang.
Zhu Danyang sat down on a chair, then looked around, his eyes fell on Huang Kui, and said calmly: "Master Huang, I signed the military order, but I just asked Commander Cui to summon the generals of the city defense army to discuss the matter.
The order letter is not forged, and Commander Cui did not mobilize troops without authorization. I am the governor of Youzhou, in charge of the military and government affairs of Youzhou, and ordered several generals to be transferred to discuss matters. Although I did not inform you in advance, it seems that I did not violate the law. Yes.
Bar?"
He was obviously still very weak and his voice was weak, but his words were clear and could be heard clearly by everyone present.
Cold sweat had already appeared on Huang Kui's forehead, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching. He raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "That...that's natural. Since it is the military order of the boss, naturally...
..Of course it’s not like deploying troops without authorization.”
Zhu Danyang has been in Youzhou for many years and has been vigorous and resolute. He is not only brave but also outstanding in intelligence. He was born in the Changsheng Army. He once participated in the battle against the Wutuo people in Xiling and made countless military exploits. Such a figure not only has extremely strong personal abilities
, and with a profound background, officials in Youzhou were in awe of this governor.
Although Huang Kui is the governor of Youzhou and is only one level younger than Zhu Danyang, he has always been afraid of Zhu Danyang like a tiger. Not to mention that Zhu Danyang has come back from the dead, even if he sees Zhu Danyang on weekdays, he is cautious.
There was some confusion in his mind.
Hou Bo went to investigate first and was sure that Zhu Danyang was dead. Only then did Huang Kui feel confident. He had already made up his mind that Cui Changgong would be detained and imprisoned tonight. With the help of Eunuch Sun, the court would soon be able to make arrangements together.
Once the reply is approved, Cui Changgong will undoubtedly die.
Everything was originally planned, but who would have thought that Zhu Danyang would suddenly appear.
For Huang Kui, the fact that Zhu Danyang is still alive is undoubtedly a thunderbolt, and all his plans will be shattered in an instant.
The terrible thing is that if the plan cannot be carried out, it would be nothing more. Zhu Danyang was poisoned and Cui Changgong was attacked. These two things happened one after another. No matter how stupid Zhu Danyang is, he must already know who is behind it.
With Zhu Danyang's temperament, this matter was certainly not a good one.
He was surrounded by the guards of the mansion, and the main generals of the city defense army were also here. Huang Kui knew that in this situation, if Zhu Danyang launched an attack, he would be unable to resist, and there would be no reinforcements coming from outside.
He was filled with annoyance, and now he understood that Zhu Danyang was certainly not resurrected from the dead, but that he had fallen into a trap carefully laid by the other party.
If he had known this earlier, he would never have come to the Governor's Mansion.
He knew that he was in danger now, but at times like this, he had to stay calm.
Whether Zhu Danyang was poisoned or Cui Changgong was attacked, these two incidents were carefully planned by himself. He believed that Zhu Danyang could not provide any evidence to prove that these two incidents were related to him. As long as the other party could not provide conclusive evidence, even if Zhu Danyang was
As a governor, you can't do anything to a long history like yourself.
"Don't panic, everyone." Seeing the horrified expressions of the officials, Zhu Danyang smiled slightly and said, "I'm just joking with everyone."
Everyone thought, Sir, you are making too much of a joke, but some people were already keenly aware of the Governor's behavior.
It's just a joke, it's just a plan. I'm afraid tonight's show has just begun.
"But I almost died." Zhu Danyang sighed: "I just found out today that someone poisoned my wine. The dose was very small each time, and I couldn't feel any abnormality at all.
But as time went by, the poisoning became more and more profound, and when I suddenly fainted that day, it was not due to fatigue, but just a toxic attack."
Everyone was horrified and changed their color.
"My lord, who dares to poison your wine?" Mr. Lin, the prefect of Yongping, was the first to step forward and said angrily: "Your Majesty, please hand over this case to your subordinates for investigation. Your Majesty will definitely find out the person who poisoned you.
"
Zhu Danyang raised his hand to signal Mr. Lin not to be excited, and said with a smile: "Don't let the family scandal be publicized. The person who poisoned the poison has been found out. As for who was behind it, I will definitely not be able to spare him." At this point, his eyes are like daggers, although his body is like a knife.
He was weak, but at this moment he still exuded the fierce and domineering aura of a battlefield veteran.
"The reason for calling everyone here is very simple, because I am worried that someone will jump over the wall and cause chaos in the city." Zhu Danyang sighed: "Yongping City has always been peaceful and peaceful. Once someone makes a desperate move and causes a disaster, not only will the people be frightened, but even the people will be frightened.
There will still be people who suffer disaster, so I will never let there be a disaster in the city, so I can only make this decision."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials couldn't help but glance at Huang Kui.
In Yongping City, there were only a few people who could cause a disaster with weapons. Apart from Qiu Yi, the commander of the guard battalion, the only ones with military power were Chang Shi Huang Kui and Magistrate Lin.
Qiu Yi is Zhu Danyang's confidant. Although Magistrate Lin has hundreds of yamen officers distributed in various security stations in the city, if the little prefect wants to rely on those yamen officers to rebel, it is equivalent to putting the hanging rope around his own neck.
.
Although Zhu Danyang did not name him, everyone knew who Zhu Danyang was talking about.
Huang Kui's face was ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
He knew very well that at this time he was saying less and making fewer mistakes. As long as Zhu Danyang could not produce evidence that he had committed rebellion, in front of so many officials, he could not arbitrarily convict people just based on his status as governor.
Zhu Danyang's eyes finally fell on the head on the ground. Cui Changgong had just thrown the head on the ground. No one dared to touch it, and it remained there.
Zhu Danyang raised his foot and kicked it gently. For a general like him who has countless military exploits, he has seen countless heads. In his eyes, a bloody human head is no different from a steamed bun. When he saw the face of the head, he said lightly
: "Commander Hu Yun, um, Mr. Huang, is he your subordinate?"
"Your Majesty has asked Mr. Lin to investigate the case thoroughly." Huang Kui stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Although I don't know why Hu Yun rebelled, he is my subordinate. I am guilty of negligence. I beg you.
My lord, punish me!"
Zhu Danyang smiled and said: "Those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. Mr. Huang knows my temperament. If you focus on something, you must do it no matter what the cost." After thinking for a while, he asked Huang Kui:
"Master Huang, has the imperial envoy arrived in Kyoto?"
Huang Kui originally tried his best to appear calm, but when he heard these words, he was so shaken that his vision turned black and he almost collapsed.
Everyone watched and saw Huang Kui's body swaying and his forehead covered with cold sweat. They knew in their hearts that there must be something evil in the heart of this Master Chang Shi. When they heard Zhu Danyang mention "Kingto Imperial Envoy", they were all shocked.
Somewhat surprised, I thought to myself that I had never heard of an imperial envoy from Kyoto, so why would the governor mention the imperial envoy?
Huang Kui's body trembled slightly and he said: "No... I didn't hear that an imperial envoy was coming."
"I don't think there will be an imperial envoy arriving." Zhu Danyang said with a smile: "It is said that it has been almost a month since the imperial envoy from Kyoto arrived in Yongping. At that time, I was still fine. If an imperial envoy really arrives, he should go there
I came to the Governor's Mansion to convey the imperial decree, so that even I don't know about it." He raised his hand and motioned for Huang Kui to come closer. Huang Kui looked pale and frightened and came closer. Zhu Danyang leaned forward slightly and asked: "Master Huang
, do you know an eunuch named Sun Hao?"
Huang Kui couldn't hold on anymore, his legs went weak and he knelt in front of Zhu Danyang.
Of course he knew Sun Hao, but he really couldn't understand how Zhu Danyang knew about Sun Hao's existence.
No one knew about the news of Sun Hao coming to Yongping. It was kept extremely secret. Even in the Changshi Mansion, no one else knew about it. When the time came, Eunuch Sun did not show up at all. Apart from himself, Eunuch Sun did not show up at all these days.
No contact with anyone.
Zhu Danyang had just woken up, how did he know about Sun Hao's existence?
Of course Huang Kui understood that since Zhu Danyang accurately stated Sun Hao's name, Sun Hao must have been exposed. As for how Zhu Danyang knew Sun Hao's existence, it was actually unimportant. What was important was that Sun Hao participated in the whole process.
Not only did Sun Hao know all the details of this plan, but some of them were even made by Sun Hao.
He moved his lips and managed to squeeze out a few words: "Which...which Sun Hao?"
Zhu Danyang frowned, then sighed and said calmly: "Go and see for yourself."
Huang Kui turned his head and glanced in the direction of the door, but there was someone blocking his view. He reluctantly stood up, walked outside the door, and looked into the courtyard. He only saw two soldiers from the governor's office not far away.
One person, his hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was covered with a coarse cloth, but Huang Kui still recognized him at a glance, that person was none other than Sun Hao.
He couldn't hold it on any longer and sat down on the ground.
Sun Hao struggled desperately, making a "wuwuwu" sound from his mouth. He opened his eyes wide. Huang Kui's face was ashen. Watching Sun Hao being dragged down by two soldiers, the body of Mr. Chang Shi suddenly twitched.
, foaming at the mouth, fortunately, one of his generals saw this, rushed over, and pinched the others. The other officials had already seen the doorway and did not dare to approach. It took a while before Huang Kui recovered.
He was panting heavily, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
Zhu Danyang winked, and Qiu Yi immediately stepped forward to help Huang Kui up and entered the hall. When he got in front of Zhu Danyang, he let go and Huang Kui knelt softly in front of Zhu Danyang and said feebly: "My lord, I will lower my official rank.
..... I have no choice but to submit to the official position, Sun Gong... Sun Hao is the mastermind, I will submit the official position... I dare not disobey you!"
"Oh?" Zhu Danyang calmly asked, "What did you have to do?"
Huang Kui said softly: "It was Sun...Sun Hao who ordered it. He...he said he was under the order of the imperial court. The lower official...the lower official did not dare to disobey the imperial court. It was him."
Forced the official to instigate Hu... Hu Yun and Wei Xu to attack Commander Cui, but the official did not agree...!"
As soon as these two sentences were said, the officials present became even more horrified. They all looked at each other, feeling that the matter was even more unbelievable.
