Chapter 805 Minions
Before the shadow came to the woodshed, he looked down and left and right. The snoring of the two guards in front of the door was deafening. The days of running around and the battle to suppress the bandits made them tired. At this moment, although they were responsible for guarding the night, they were also unable to do it.
The shadow stepped across the sleeping body in front of the door, gently pushed open the door of the wood room, and slipped in. The two bandits were tied to the pillar and drooping their heads and sleeping soundly. There was a sneer on the shadow's face. He walked two quick steps, raised the steel knife and waved the knife at Yang Qing, who was tied to his right head. The blade was still in the air, and suddenly saw Yang Qing, tied to the wooden pillar, suddenly raised his head. At this moment, he was so scared that the dark shadow soul flew away.
"Do you want to kill your Uncle Zhao?" Under the dim light, the face under the messy hair is not Yang Qing, but Zhao Dapeng, a thousand households of Song Nan's own guard camp. This gentleman is rising up with a hippie smile and shaking off the rope on his arm. I don't know when, the embroidered spring knife has been held in his hand.
The person tied to the other pillar also raised his head. Naturally, he was also a person in the Jinyi Guard camp. The black shadow understood the total and rushed out of the woodshed with his toes. Zhao Dapeng shouted, "Can you still run?"
While talking, there were many footsteps outside. Under the leadership of Wang Yong, more than a dozen guards had come to the door. With a bang, the wooden door of the firewood house was kicked open by Wang Yong. Under the light of the torch, more than a dozen guards flocked in and surrounded it.
"Take it down." Wang Yong shouted violently, and the guards approached with knives. The man knew that it would be difficult to get out today. He waved his hand and put the steel knife across his neck, twisting hard and trying to suicide. Wang Yong raised his hand, and a flying knife flew out. In the middle of the man's wrist holding the knife, the steel knife fell to the ground with a bang. The man held his wrist with his left hand, and blood oozed from his fingers, falling on the mud of the woodshed, ticking.
The guards rushed up and tied it tightly. At this time, Song Nan's question came from outside: "Can you hold it?"
Wang Yong said loudly, "Your Excellency, I have got it."
Song Nan and Wang Shouren entered the room surrounded by several guards. Wang Shouren looked pale and looked at the nightwalker tied up in front of him and shouted angrily, "Li Guangtai, you are so bold. Tell me why you did this?"
Song Nan sneered and said, "Do you still need to ask? This Ganzhouwei commander has long been the guest of Prince Ning. Commander Li, isn't he?
That man was Li Guangtai, the commander of Ganzhou Wei. Although this man was an important member of Ganzhou, he was quiet and calm along the way, but he was actually the king of Ning hiding in Ganzhou.
Wang Shouren asked spontaneously, "Tell me, why is this? Li Guangtai has a very good reputation. In my impression, you have always been a righteous person and have a way to lead troops in war. Why do you become a lackey of King Ning like some officials?
Li Guangtai's face was pale and he lowered his head without saying anything.
Song Nan said, "Let me answer Lord Wang's questions for Commander Li. Since last year, I have secretly investigated Ning Wang Xingzhi and drawn up a list of people who have a close relationship with him. Unfortunately, Lord Li Guangtai is on the list. Lord Li Guangtai's two concubines, one Runyu and one Suxi, can you explain the where these two charming women came from?
Li Guangtai sighed and finally said, "It turns out that everything I have done in the eyes of Jinyiwei. It doesn't matter. Runyu and Suxi are my concubines given to me by the King of Ning. I did secretly associate with Prince Ning. It turned out that the Duke of Zhen had known the inside story for a long time. No wonder he took us with us as soon as he saw Ganzhou and didn't allow us to go back. It turned out that he knew my details.
Song Nan sneered and said, "Yes, as soon as Lord Wang introduced your name, I remembered the people on the list. The name Li Guangtai is easy to remember, and I have forgotten a lot of other names, but I remember your Li Guangtai's big name. So I ask you to follow me and not allow you to go back to report the news. If I guess correctly, you are going to come to kill Yang Qing and Li Fu tonight. You must be worried that these two will collude with the king of Ning and the bandits and secretly shelter them to confess the facts used for them. Lord Li, you are also dead to King Ning.
Wang Shouren understood all that Song Nan recognized Li Guangtai from the day he arrived in Ganzhou. He also blamed him for not believing in his vision and acting too carefully. In fact, Song Nan had long known that there was Ning Wang's spy among the people he trusted, and he didn't know how to laugh at him in his heart. When he was monitoring in the room just now, what Song Nan said was that he intuitively knew that there was a spy in it. In fact, he was acting for himself. Wang Shouren is really speechless to Song Nan. This guy doesn't trust anyone. Maybe he also has doubts about himself.
"My lord, I'm blind. Some of my men are the minions of King Ning, but I don't know it. I'm deceived like a fool. Please forgive me."
Song Nan laughed and said, "Lord Wang doesn't have to blame himself. King Ning's means are all-pervasive. Who can withstand his means when he deliberately win over local officials?"
Wang Shouren pointed to Li Guangtai and scolded angrily, "Li Guangtai, you and I are old acquaintances. I never thought that you were a good sexist. For the sake of two women, you are willing to fall like this, which is really disappointing."
Li Guangtai lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, Guangtai has negative teachings. Now he doesn't say anything. I took the wrong step, and this step is wrong. I'm not looking for reasons for myself, but I'm really not addicted to women to work for King Ning, but because I have a handle in his hands. A few years ago, my wife and brother took the township examination and couldn't stand the inspitation of my family. I bribed Lord Wang from Jiangxi University and the invigilator of Ceremonies. I learned the township test questions in advance and asked someone to make a good answer and bring them into the examination supervisor, so my brother won the second place in the township examination. I didn't think that there was no impenetrable wall in the world. I don't know why this matter was known to King Ning, so he threatened me with this matter. In desperation, I had no choice but to do what he wanted. These two women, I know that he came from the wrong way, but since they have delinated the law, why should they worry so much? So he accepted the kindness of King Ning.
Wang Shouren's fingers trembled angrily and scolded, "Is this still good intentions? You are willing to fall and break the jar. You are simply dizzy.
Song Nan sneered and said, "He bribed the officer to reveal that the test questions were already a death crime. He was originally a corrupt official. It's no wonder that King Ning came to him. Flies don't climb seamless eggs. If he is upright, how can he be today?"
Wang Shouren was heartbroken and sighed. Song Nan has begun to interrogate. What he is most concerned about is not the process of Li Guangtai's depraved crime. What he wants to know most is what he knows about King Ning's business and whether his whereabouts have been revealed by the Li commander.
Li Guangtai was also straightforward. Song Nan answered whatever he asked and did not deny it at all. Therefore, Song Nan also knew the answer to his most worried question.
As early as the day Song Nan arrived in Ganzhou, his whereabouts had been revealed by Li Guangtai. On that day, Song Nan asked Ganzhou officials not to leave, that is, they were not allowed to pass on the news. On the one hand, the news of suppressing bandits could not be leaked, and on the other hand, his whereabouts should be kept secret; but the method used by Li Guangtai was to use the government faction. The man sent a letter to the officials's family and said that the adults had the opportunity to stay in the government office for official business for several days. They asked a government official to return the folding fan on his body and brought a short note in the sandwich of the folding fan. The two concubines Runyu and Su Xi in his house were two well-trained female spies. After getting the folding fan, they naturally When you find the news brought back, I'm afraid that Song Nan's whereabouts have already been reported to Nanchang Ning Palace.
After learning of this result, everyone, including Song Nan, was stunned. Song Nan was worried that the news of yesterday's grand entrance to the county would leak. Now it seems that the news has been leaked two days ago, and there is nothing to worry about yesterday's big fanfare.
Everyone understands that once the news leaks, and the news of the capture of the bandits of Sanboshan will spread soon. From the standpoint of Ningwang Mansion, they will either rescue these insiders or kill people like Li Guangtai's idea. It is related to the unspeakable purpose behind King Ning. If the King of Ning learns about this, he is likely to take risks. Even if Song Nan is the Duke of Zhen, even if he is a well-known military god in the Ming Dynasty and an absolute celebrity around the emperor, King Ning will not hesitate to take action and remove one of them.
Song Nan knows this. If he thinks that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has a trace of kindness and compassion, it will be a major mistake. Moreover, this is Jiangxi. His great ability is also in other people's nests, and it is not difficult to kill himself.
The only comforting thing is that Zhu Chenhao was still in the capital when Song Nan left Beijing. Even if he reported it to Zhu Chenhao quickly, he would have to run for three days and three nights. That is to say, there is at least four or five days of buffer period when he got the news from Zhu Chenhao and then gave the order. He had to use this staggered time to leave Jiangxi quickly. , bring Yang Qing, Li Fu and this Li Guangtai to the emperor.
"Lord Wang, I'm going to set out overnight. The situation after that is unpredictable. If I return to the capital safely, with this certification confession, if King Ning is in the capital, I will definitely capture him, but the disaster will disappear invisible. If he is not in the capital, things will be difficult."
Wang Shouren nodded slightly and frowned, "It's really tricky. If he gets the news to leave the capital, I'm afraid a rebellion will be inevitable. Duke Zhen, please rest assured that I will be on close guard after returning to Ganzhou. Even if the rebellion occurs, I will restrain the main force of the rebels and wait for the arrival of the imperial court to quell the rebels. I believe that if the rebellion is quelled, the Duke of Zhen will personally lead the troops. At that time, the subordinate will follow the Duke of Zhen to remove this big cancer.
Song Nan smiled and arched his hand and said, "It's a deal. I will write a list of my Jinyiwei. The people on it can't be trusted. I hope it will be helpful to adults."
Wang Shouren said happily, "That's the best, so as not to fall into his eyes and ears."
Song Nan ordered Wang Yong to present the list, and then got up and arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, I cherish it. I also want to ask for teaching and learning. I hope you take care of your safety."
Wang Shouren smiled and said, "There were many misunderstandings about the Duke of Zhen. Today, I, Wang Shouren, solemnly apologized. The Duke of Zhen is an open and aboveboard person in the Ming Dynasty. From today on, Wang Shouren will never talk about the Duke of Zhen."
Song Nan smiled and said goodbye. The Jinyi guards teamed all night, escorting Yang Qing, Lifu and Li Guangtai out of the city to the east and disappeared into the night before dawn.
