Chapter 359 The Nineteenth Year of Chongzhen(2/2)

The heavily armed soldiers immediately rushed forward with their swords waving, and slashed down with their swords.

"Lu Ding!" Ma Jinzhong yelled, "You are such a sinister villain, I am really blind!"

"Looking for death!" Lu Ding, the general in mountain armor, cut Ma Jinzhong down with just one blow.

Ma Jinzhong's martial arts skills were originally far superior to Lu Ding's, but unfortunately he drank too much wine tonight and became drunk.

Almost at the same time that Ma Jinzhong and others were cut down, a large number of archers appeared on the corridors around the patio and on the roof ridges, firing random arrows at the patio below.

Hundreds of servants who were having a banquet in the courtyard were caught off guard. They were only wearing jackets and were quickly turned into hedgehogs.

When all the dust settled, Zhang Kuang, Fu Shangduan and other civil servants had already turned pale with fear. Only He Tengjiao said to Lu Ding without changing his expression: "General Lu, please clean up the mess here. I have to go immediately."

The military camp outside the city collected military morale to prevent the officers and soldiers outside the city from mutiny after hearing the news."

Lu Ding said: "It would be better for the last general to lead the Biaoying camp and go with the headquarters."

"No need." He Tengjiao said, "Since Ma Jinzhong and others have been executed, my governor is no longer in danger."

After a pause, He Tengjiao said again: "No matter what, the four towns of Wuchang are our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers!"

He Tengjiao walked to the entrance of the lobby and suddenly turned back to Zhang Kuang and said, "Zhang Futai, if you could help me, send a courier 800 miles to tell the emperor and the cabinet the reason for tonight."

Zhang Kuang said: "I will accept the order."



This year, it is really impossible for Lu Zhenfei and the four pavilion elders to survive.

Especially Mr. Qian Qianyi, who drank a few sips of wine after watching the New Year's Eve. Just when he was about to take advantage of the wine to have a moment of tenderness with Mrs. Ru and Liu Rushi, he was stopped midway by his old servant.

After hearing the call from Chief Assistant Lu Zhenfei, Qian Qianyi did not dare to show any signs of neglect and quickly put on his clothes and got up.

When Qian Qianyi hurried to the cabinet to check in, he saw that Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan and Meng Zhaoxiang had already arrived, and he was the only one waiting for him.

"Mr. Qian Ge is here too, let's get started." Lu Zhenfei said.

"I'm really sorry to call you here in the middle of the night."

"But there is nothing we can do. Something happened to the hypocritical horses, cattle and sheep."

"Cattle and sheep are just that. The key is the war horses. The Huguang Governor's Office actually seized 8,000 of them!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Shenyan, Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi were all furious. Isn't this too arrogant? Does He Tengjiao want to rebel?

Zhang Shen said: "First of all, does your Majesty have any will?"

Lu Zhenfei said: "I have sent someone to ask for the edict. The Holy Spirit said that it will be left to the cabinet to handle it."

Qian Qianyi said: "After all, He Tengjiao did not rebel, but only seized the cattle, sheep and horses, so this matter should be handled by our cabinet. What do the cabinet ministers think we should do?"

Meng Zhaoxiang said: "Didn't Huang Shu, the censor of Huguang's censor, return to Nanjing to resign his duties years ago? He can be asked to return to Wuchang quickly, severely reprimand He Tengjiao and order him to deliver the detained war horses, cattle and sheep to Nanjing as soon as possible."

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Zhang Shenyan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is inappropriate."

Meng Zhaoxiang said unhappily: "May I ask Mr. Zhang Ge, what's wrong with doing this?"

"I am afraid that it will not help the matter." Zhang Shenyan said, "There may be another reason for the governor of Huguang to detain the horses, cattle and sheep. Although He Tengjiao is a headstrong person, he has no disrespect for the imperial court or the Holy One. Therefore, the servant believes that this is Wuchang
