After running away in panic, Zhu Jinzhang was in a state of embarrassment, but he still held tightly to his wife Ma's hand.
Around him, there were four soldiers with knives leading the way. They were hiding around the city, and they were on the line of life and death at every moment.
At this time, a guard said: "Your Majesty, there is a courtyard in front of you, go in first and take shelter!"
Following several soldiers, Zhu Jinzhang and his wife entered the courtyard.
"You...who are you?" an old man in the courtyard shouted in horror.
Several soldiers couldn't help but step forward and kill the old man on the spot with a knife.
Now they are being hunted everywhere, and this old man must not be allowed to stay, so even if Zhu Jinzhang wanted to stop him, he could not convince these soldiers.
There was only this old man in the courtyard. Killing him seemed to silence the whole world, and also allowed Zhu Jinzhang and others to rest for a while.
I had only rested for two minutes when one of the soldiers came forward and said, "Your Majesty, we brothers are going out to investigate!"
This man came to report with a knife in hand, and blood was still oozing from the tip of the knife.
Zhu Jinzhang nodded, and then said seriously: "Go, be careful, you must not be discovered by Yong's army, otherwise you will definitely die!"
"yes!"
As a result, the four guards left one after another, leaving the courtyard clear.
Zhu Jinzhang and Ma were sitting on the steps. It was rare for the two of them to cuddle up together at this moment.
Time gradually passed, and the shouts of Yong Army soldiers could be heard faintly outside the yard. They were searching house to house.
"Master, why haven't they come back yet?" Ma's face was full of panic.
Zhu Jinzhang looked at his wife and said calmly: "They will not come back!"
Precisely because he knew this, he did not stop these people, otherwise they would rebel on the spot.
Continuing to resist was futile. He might as well let these people leave. His last reminder was just to prevent them from informing Yong Jun after they left.
But I heard Ma continue to say: "Master, today...it seems we have to die here!"
"Madam, I'm sorry for you!" Zhu Jinzhang turned around and said with sadness.
Ma shook his head repeatedly: "Master, what are you talking about? You and I are of the same mind, we share blessings, and we should share the same burdens!"
Zhu Jinzhang nodded, he would not be at a loss if his wife was so persistent in her life.
But he regretted that he should not have let his wife stay in Liaoping, otherwise she would not have fallen into a desperate situation with him.
But now it's too late to say anything. Zhu Jinzhang sighed: "Maybe... I shouldn't have rebelled in the first place!"
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything. The matter had reached this point, and it would be useless to say more.
Yong Jun's voice got closer and closer, and Ma suddenly said: "Master, let's go with dignity!"
Zhu Jinzhang was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed his wife's hand and nodded.
"Okay... okay, let's go together!"
One of their two sons was killed in the battle on the city wall, and the other was also killed in the rebellion just now. They really have nothing to worry about.
Seeing the smile on Ma's face, Zhu Jinzhang shed tears. The person he felt most sorry for was his wife.
Then the two got up and walked into the house. They tore the sheets into strips, went to the main room and threw them up on the rafters.
Stepping on the stool, the two of them knotted the sheets respectively.
Their eyes met, and they both wanted to look at each other a few more times before passing away.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly..."
The sound of the Yong Army search team was heard next door, leaving little time for Zhu Jinzhang and Zhu Jinzhang.
"It's time to go!" Zhu Jinzhang hung the sheets around his neck.
Ma also put his head into the rope and said: "Master, in the next life... we will still be husband and wife, and live in peace for the rest of our lives!"
"good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jinzhang kicked off the stool, followed closely by Ma.
Although they wanted to die, they were on the verge of death, and Zhu Jinzhang still struggled unconsciously.
But the struggle was useless. Their faces turned red, their expressions were ferocious, and they ended up foaming at the mouth...
Finally, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Open the door, open the door..."
After a few breaths, I saw no movement in the yard. I only heard someone outside shouting: "If you don't open the door, it will be opened..."
Still no one answered, someone outside shouted: "Break the door open..."
With a "bang" sound, the courtyard door was knocked open, and four or five soldiers poured in from the outside.
Naturally, they saw the body hanging in the main room.
This scene was shocking, so a group of soldiers quickly stepped forward to check the situation clearly.
…………
In the granary in the north of the city, accompanied by Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng, Zhao Yanxun was inspecting the granary.
At this moment, he had changed out of his armor and was wearing a simple blue-gray round-neck robe, looking particularly leisurely and comfortable.
Doing this means that the situation has been completely controlled, which can make the soldiers below less nervous, at least that's what Zhao Yanxun thinks.
Walking among the grains, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "The grains shipped from various counties must be returned to them!"
"Yes!" Fang Sheng and the other two replied.
But at this moment, both of them looked a little sad because Zhu Jinzhang hadn't caught him yet.
At this moment, a member of the Hundred Households trotted in from outside. It was Fang Sheng's Baihu Wangshan.
Fang Sheng was half a step behind. After listening to his subordinates' report, a smile appeared on Wang Cheng's face.
He stepped forward in three steps at a time, bowed and reported to Zhao Yanxun: "Your Majesty, the traitor Zhu Jinzhang has been found!"
…………
Tap tap tap, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the long street.
Hearing this voice, Huang Tianyan immediately ordered his subordinates: "Please be energetic, the prince is coming!"
The soldiers were all solemn, and their military posture became more upright.
As the sound of horse hooves approached, Zhao Yanxun also appeared in front of everyone, beating the horse.
Zhao Yanxun was surrounded by officers such as Fang Sheng and the accompanying guards.
"See you, my lord!"
Following Huang Tianyan's order, the soldiers, whose bodies straightened up, immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
"See you, my lord!"
I saw that Wang Cheng moved quickly, turned over and dismounted, came to Zhao Yanxun, and helped him hold the reins very smoothly.
After dismounting, looking at the soldiers saluting around him, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "No courtesy!"
The soldiers stood up one after another, and when they stood up, Zhao Yanxun walked into the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Wang Cheng and others left and followed behind. As they entered the courtyard, they saw two corpses placed in the courtyard.
The corpse was covered with sheets, and Zhao Yanxun walked in front of the corpse at this moment.
He raised his finger, and Huang Tianyan, who was following him, took a step forward and carefully pulled up the sheets. Zhu Jinzhang's horrific death state appeared in front of everyone.
"He was dead when he was found?"
Faced with Zhao Yanxun's sudden question, Huang Tianyan was slightly nervous and carefully replied: "Reporting to the prince, I searched from house to house. When I found this courtyard, I saw no one answered, so I opened the door. When I came in, I found the traitor hanged!"
"
Originally, Zhao Yanxun was thinking about how to make Zhu Jinzhang's death worthwhile, but he was not given a chance to choose.
The "Son of the Plane" is dead, and Zhao Yanxun feels much relieved.
The next main task is to integrate the entire Longyou, so that Zhao Yanxun can live with greater strength.
Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Hang the body out and let everyone in the city know that Zhu Jinzhang is dead!"
The purpose of hanging Zhu Jinzhang's body was not to humiliate him, but to inform the whole process that their leader was dead and not to have any other evil thoughts.
