Since General Zhonglang has stepped forward, the officers and soldiers of Shence naturally have no worries.
The wolf-like officers and soldiers approached the main entrance of the prison. The officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Battalion who were guarding the door saw that something was wrong, and immediately more officers and soldiers gathered over. In a moment, hundreds of people lined up to block the main entrance.
He stepped forward and raised his spear to face the Shence Army.
The officers and soldiers on both sides were full of killing intent.
At this moment, a man from the Hangzhou Battalion stepped forward, wearing armor. Qiao Ruixin was a few steps away from the man. He stopped and raised his hand, and the officers and soldiers behind him also stopped.
"Qiao Ruixin, the commander of the Shence Army, is here." Qiao Ruixin held down the hilt of her saber, stared at the armored general, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Gan Jingshan, deputy commander of the Hangzhou camp!" The general clasped his fists politely.
"Gan Jingshan, what do you want to do?" Qiao Ruixin pointed at the officers and soldiers behind Gan Jingshan and said: "Without the order of the Marquis, the Hangzhou Battalion entered the city without authorization, which is equivalent to a mutiny. Don't you know?"
Gan Jingshan shook his head and said: "General Zhonglang is wrong. During the counter-rebellion period, the Hangzhou Battalion must cooperate with the Shence Army. If there is a rebellion in the city, the Marquis can indeed mobilize us to come for reinforcements. But in addition to the Marquis, the Governor also has the right to respond in an emergency
Mobilize the Hangzhou Battalion into the city at all times to maintain order." He took out an official document from his arms, shook it open, showed it in front of Qiao Ruixin, and said calmly: "This is the governor's order, the lieutenant general can take a closer look."
Naturally, Qiao Ruixin had already guessed that there must be an official transfer letter from Fan Yang when Hangzhou Daying entered the city. Otherwise, Hangzhou Daying would not have made such a mistake.
"The city is guarded by the Shence Army, so why do you need to enter the city?" Qiao Ruixin said coldly.
Gan Jingshan put away the order and looked indifferent: "I heard that bandits and assassins were rampant in the city. The Marquis was even disturbed, and the assassins also lurked in the Yamen of the governor's office with the intention of assassinating. This shows that the bandits in the city are still preparing to attack. Shence
After the army entered the city, the rebellion was not completely wiped out, so the governor felt it was necessary to move the Hangzhou camp into the city for reinforcements."
Qiao Ruixin only felt angry in her heart. She originally wanted to deal with Fan Yang about the assassination incident and found an excuse to enter the governor's house and steal the case files. Who knew that it would have the opposite effect and actually gave Fan Yang an excuse to transfer the Hangzhou camp into the city.
General Zhonglang was unspeakably annoyed, but he still said coldly: "So, leading the troops to the Hangzhou Prison was also an order from Governor Fan?"
"That's not true." Gan Jingshan smiled calmly: "This is the request of Dali Temple."
"Dali Temple's request?" Qiao Ruixin was startled, and at this moment, she heard a voice coming from behind Gan Jingshan: "General Qiao, I, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Feixin, have been ordered by the princess to come to Hangzhou for inspection. This time
Let the Hangzhou Prison be handed over to the Hangzhou Camp for the time being." As he spoke, a man came up from behind with a smile on his face, it was Feixin, the chief minister of Dali Temple.
Qiao Ruixin sneered and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Fei. Mr. Fei, the Hangzhou Prison is imprisoned by the rebels arrested by the Shence Army. Under the order of the Marquis, the Shence Army is here to guard you. As soon as you entered the city, you did not report to the Marquis and forcibly
What do you want to do when you take over the prison?"
Feixin remained calm, took two steps forward, raised his hands and asked: "General Qiao, you said that all the gangsters in this prison were arrested by the Shence Army. Is it absolutely true?"
"Of course it is absolutely true."
"Then these gangsters were identified and convicted by the Shence Army, and then arrested and imprisoned. Am I right?" Feixin looked into Qiao Ruixin's eyes and spoke slowly, as if he was choosing his words carefully.
Qiao Ruixin was startled, and immediately realized something, and immediately shook her head and said: "No. These gangsters were convicted by the Hangzhou magistrate's office, and then arrested by the Shence Army with the cooperation, not by the Shence Army."
Feixin then smiled and said: "General Qiao's words made it clear. I was really shocked just now. The Shence Army is the soldiers of the imperial court and the army. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the army is not qualified to interfere with the punishment. If
If the Shence Army convicts them, it violates the laws of the imperial court. It can even be said that the prisoners you convict are illegal at all. According to the law, all prisoners in the prison must be released."
Qiao Ruixin's face darkened, and Feixin continued: "Fortunately, it was the Hangzhou prefect's Yamen who convicted him, so there is no problem." After a pause, he said: "So the prisoners held in this prison are actually from the prefect's Yamen.
Prisoners are not prisoners of your Shence Army. Before this, your Shence Army only assisted the prefect's Yamen in guarding the prison. General Qiao, am I right?"
Qiao Ruixin's lips moved, but she didn't know how to refute.
"General Qiao, the prefect's Yamen is under the jurisdiction of the governor's office." Feixin said slowly: "So both the governor and the Hangzhou prefect have the right to decide who will guard the prison." He took two official letters from his sleeve and said slowly:
"There are two official letters here, one from the Governor's Mansion and one from the Magistrate's Yamen. Both official letters have the same meaning, asking the Hangzhou Battalion to help guard the prison. Last night, assassins sneaked into the Governor's Mansion and almost assassinated Governor Fan. The Governor was very worried
They were shocked and felt that the assassins could even sneak into the governor's office, so it would be easier for them to enter the Hangzhou prison. There were serious criminals in the prison, and it would be a big deal if the assassins killed and silenced them, so both the governor and prefect Mao felt that
It is necessary to strengthen the guard of the prison, so we issued these two official letters and asked the Hangzhou Battalion to guard the prison. Would General Qiao want to check these two official letters?"
Qiao Ruixin couldn't express her sorrow, so she could only sneer: "With Shence Army guarding the prison, isn't it safe? Why should you let you take over?"
"Now we have to ask the Governor." Fei Xin looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Maybe they are worried about the Shence Army and feel that the Hangzhou Camp is more reliable than the Shence Army!"
Qiao Ruixin clenched his fists, but Feixin said calmly: "General Qiao, I have explained the prison change to you clearly. I wonder if you have any other questions? If not, please leave the prison with your officers and soldiers as soon as possible.
It’s such an important place that we shouldn’t let irrelevant people get close to it.”
Qiao Ruixin looked at Feixin's face and wished she could punch him and turn that face into mud.
But he understood better that what Feixin said was well-founded and almost impeccable. It was easy for him to punch, but if he really hurt Feixin even a hair, the consequences would be disastrous. Dali Temple would definitely seize on this matter and let him
Not a good ending.
"Where is Qin Shaoqing?" Qiao Ruixin thought of An Xinghou's explanation, but suppressed her anger and asked: "The marquis asked him to go over and meet."
"Qin Shaoqing is busy with official duties and can't get away for a while." Fei Xin said: "But General Qiao can tell the Marquis that once Mr. Shaoqing gets some time, he will definitely go to see you." He raised his hand and made a sign of seeing off the guests:
"General Qiao please!"
The corners of Qiao Ruixin's eyes twitched, and he seemed to feel countless pairs of eyes behind him staring at him.
Just now, because the prison guards failed to stop the Hangzhou Battalion, he whipped the school captain Shi Quan in public, and then rushed over majestically with a group of officers and soldiers. The formation was clearly intended to recapture the Hangzhou Prison.
But now Feixin just said a few words and he was about to return home in vain, which was really ugly.
However, the other party was fully prepared and every word was reasonable. I couldn't find any reason to show off my teeth. I couldn't just draw a knife and fight with the Hangzhou Camp Fire just because I couldn't bear to face it. If I really did this, if I was accused of mutiny, there would be consequences.
Unthinkable.
If it was a great shame and great humiliation for the Shence Army to be taken away from the prison by the Hangzhou Battalion, then it would be a great shame and great humiliation for the Shence Army to turn around and withdraw now.
"Master Fei, the people in the prison are all rebels." Qiao Ruixin said coldly: "If someone really escapes, or someone dies in there for no reason, you will have to bear the consequences."
Feixin nodded and said: "Don't worry, General Qiao. Firstly, if something happens, it still belongs to the Department of Justice. There is no need for Shencejun to come and ask. Secondly, since the Hangzhou camp has taken over the prison, any consequences that occur here will be borne solely by the people involved."
It will be borne by the Hangzhou Battalion." He raised his hand again: "General, please!"
Qiao Ruixin had no choice but to snort coldly and said in a deep voice: "Let's retreat first." She turned around and walked away, passing through the officers and soldiers under her command. Although her face was stern, she felt that the officers and soldiers on both sides were looking at her in surprise, but
I felt my face was burning and extremely embarrassed.
After the Shence Army withdrew, Fei Xin let out a sigh of relief and said to Gan Jingshan: "Commander Gan, I will leave this place to you first. You must be careful and careful."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fei, something went wrong. I'm the only one asking." Gan Jingshan cupped his hands and said.
At the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion, Governor Fan Yang looked excited at this moment, looking at Qin Xiao up and down, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving sailboat.
Master Shaoqing is very young and has a handsome appearance, giving people the impression of a boy next door. It is hard to imagine that such a young man would occupy the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he is also an important figure sent by the princess to reverse the situation.
However, Fan Yang no longer doubted Qin Shaoqing's abilities.
Qin Xiao led his troops into the city at the most appropriate time and for the most appropriate reason. After entering the city, he immediately sent people to control the Hangzhou Prison. In addition, he sent troops to protect the governor's office. It can be said that after entering the city, the young minister
Already taking the initiative.
"Qin Shaoqing is really young and promising." Fan Yang smiled happily and said: "To be honest, I really didn't know how to deal with the situation in Hangzhou before. Fortunately, Qin Shaoqing arrived in time. This is a blessing for Hangzhou and even more so for the Tang Dynasty."
"Qin Shaoqing, if you come here a little later, more people will die in Hangzhou." Zhao Biejia said with a bitter smile: "The Anxing Marquis clearly wants to drive out all the officials and gentry in Hangzhou."
Qin Xiao smiled calmly and said: "Master Governor, not everything An Xinghou did was wrong, it was just that the heat was too much. Is there a rebel party in Hangzhou? Of course there is, among the imprisoned gentry, there are indispensable
Some people who colluded with the rebellious party. The Qian family in Suzhou are not stupid. They know very well that with the strength of one family, even with the Queen Mother Society, it is impossible for the rebellion to succeed. Although not all the seven surnames in Jiangnan are involved in the rebellion,
But if I say that only the Qian family rebels, do you believe it?"
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "I don't believe it. Qin Shaoqing is right. There must be rebels among the gentry in Hangzhou."
"According to our judgment, after the Suzhou rebellion, there was no movement in Hangzhou or even Yangzhou. It's not that there are no rebel parties in these two states, but their initial plan was to start a joint uprising after the Qian family kidnapped the princess." Qin Xiao looked solemn.
: "But there was a problem with their plan, and they failed to kidnap the princess, so Hangzhou didn't dare to act rashly. An Xinghou led his troops to kill them, and after entering the city, they went on a killing spree. This was something we didn't expect. In fact,
This is something that the gentry in Hangzhou did not expect, otherwise some of the rogue parties in Hangzhou would never sit still and wait for death. An Xinghou's thunderous tactics can be regarded as taking the lead and extinguishing the rogue parties before they could react."
