"General Zhu Tingfang of Mingwei has been ordered to investigate the affairs of Cangzhou!"
In one day, this sentence was repeated everywhere in the streets of Cangzhou. And the chaos at the gate of the Cangzhou Palace, because there were many people present at the time, spread all over the city. What Xu Xianzun offered a generous reward and ordered people to attack the palace, what about the eldest prince who came out to stop the attack but was mistaken for a fake... Anyway, there were all kinds of arguments, but the most mainstream one was only one.
That General Mingwei was really amazing! He shot down the leader of the rebels who occupied the palace with one arrow. Although according to the eldest prince, whether Xian Yunhe was a rebel was still debatable. He shot off the hat of the honorable official Xu County who was overjoyed and came forward to speak, and scared him so much that he wet his pants. The last arrow pierced directly in front of the eldest prince who rushed out, and scared him so much that he sat on the ground.
As soon as Zhu Tingfang arrived, he used three arrows to make the entire Cangzhou, from top to bottom, realize his fierce means and firm determination.
However, few people knew that the seemingly majestic General Mingwei actually only brought those twelve people. Even if the guards of Zhu Er who were outside and could not follow him to the palace were included, there were only more than twenty people in total, all from the Zhu family of the Zhaoguo Mansion. As for the soldiers and horses of the Ruiqi Battalion he wanted, they were left far behind by his group who rode two horses day and night.
At this moment, Zhu Tingfang ignored the officials, gentry and merchants who wrote letters asking for a meeting, nor did he pay attention to the comments of outsiders. He even left behind Zhu Er, who was trying to please him. After asking about some inside information, he led his men into an underground stone chamber in the palace that was used for concealment during wartime.
The moment the lock was opened, he saw a figure suddenly rushing out. Before the generals on both sides could rush forward to intercept him, he kicked the man back. The next moment, he heard a series of screams of pain. He raised his hand to signal the people around him not to panic, and said in a cold voice: "General Zhu Tingfang of Mingwei has been ordered to investigate the Cangzhou incident with full authority!"
As soon as he had ordered people to shout this sentence throughout the city, the stone chamber suddenly fell silent. Then, although someone groaned in pain, a deep voice was heard: "Is it the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao?"
"That's right." Zhu Tingfang took the lead, head held high and walked straight in, and people on both sides hurriedly came forward with torches to protect him. As he walked down the steps, the light of the torches illuminated the road ahead, and most people saw the unbearable scene inside. Especially Zhu Er, who was the last one to fall behind, he stuck his head out to take a look, and then immediately dragged Xiao Huasheng next to him and walked back.
When he got back to the ground, he saw the eye-catching scene and asked in disbelief: "Are you so bold that you dare to humiliate these guards and the Sharp Cavalry Battalion like this? Are you going to fight to the death? Did Xian Yunhe's head get caught in the door?"
The old man who was following him also had a gloomy face. Hearing that Xian Yunhe and his men had captured the royal guards and the soldiers of the Ruiqi Battalion, he felt that something was wrong. Moreover, even if they captured them, there were so many people to be taken care of, and if things went wrong, there might even be riots. However, Xian Yunhe and the others ignored it, as if they were not worried about it at all.
It was not until he saw the scene just now that he realized what a sinister method the man had used!
