Chapter 124 Jun Wuzui is simply crazy
Inside the Dongchu City, it was so quiet that it seemed as if it was still in the silence of the night.
Whether it is the East-West Street where the dignitaries live, or the North-South Street where the common people and the rich live, apart from the sound of horse hooves, the whole place is quiet.
But the news still reached various mansions in the capital as expected.
In the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis——
With one sleeve empty, the loyal and brave marquis looked at the words written on the note, his brows knitted into a "川" shape, "Let them make things worse."
He instructed the messenger.
The emperor has given the Jingjiwei Tiger Seal for mobilizing troops to the King of War. At this moment, the Jingjiwei has controlled every street and alley in the city. Although his men are inside, the news they send back is getting worse and worse.
Now, the King of War actually ordered the siege of Prime Minister Zhuang’s residence and even wanted to arrest all the people in the Zhuang family.
Jun Wuzui is simply crazy!
The Loyal and Brave Marquis paced back and forth in the room somewhat restlessly. This was a serious matter. Who could have thought that the Regent of Nanqing would actually come to Dongchu and even want to ambush the War King!
Zong Kui was simply playing with his own life and the lives of Dong Chu and others who were involved with him.
Moreover, Zong Kui made so much trouble in the capital of Dongchu, but in the end he still couldn’t escape!
What bullshit!
No!
Marquis Zhongyong is going to look for the princess. Since he cannot enter the palace now, he has to stay with the eldest princess so that the couple can discuss things together.
Marquis Zhongyong asked the butler to prepare the car with a serious face. They couldn't just sit there and wait for death. They had to find a way to send Zongkui out of the city.
Not only him, but many people in the capital were also touched by the events that happened last night.
Many people who knew the inside story thought that last night was a fight against the War King, but unexpectedly, a big fish was caught in the end.
It is also a piranha that can kill many people in the capital.
Dongchu values culture over military power, so it is rare to see a situation like the current one. The entire capital is under martial law and the regent of Nanqing, Zongkui, is being rounded up.
It just sounds scary.
He is the regent of Nanqing. When did he come to Dongchu? Who did he meet in Dongchu? What did he want to do? You can't even think about such things. If you think about them, you will imagine the gates of Caishikou being raised and heads falling.
At Prime Minister Zhuang's mansion, his study was lit all night long.
News about the developments in the capital of Dongchu is reported every quarter of an hour. Although Prime Minister Zhuang is in his sixties, he is still in good spirits.
Inside the huge Zhuang Xiang Mansion, it seemed as if no one was aware of what was happening outside. The cleaning of the courtyard was carried out in an orderly manner as the daylight rose. It looked quite orderly, like the intention of a noble family.
Until the sound of "bang bang bang" on the door broke the tranquility of the prime minister's residence.
"The Jingji Guards are under the orders of the War King to search and confiscate the Zhuang Mansion. Open the door quickly!"
The affairs of the banker startled many gates in the capital and scared away many carrier pigeons that were carrying news.
At this time, Marquis Zhongyong had already arrived at the princess's mansion.
"You come here at this time, isn't it obvious that you are guilty?" The eldest princess frowned when she saw the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
"I want to ask you, didn't we have an arrangement last night? How come Jun Wuzui is fine?!" Marquis Zhongyong asked with a bad look on his face. He even lent some people to the princess last night, but those people didn't come back.
"I now suspect that all of King Zhan's direct descendants are still alive." The eldest princess looked unhappy, her eyes were red, and the makeup on her face showed signs of decadence.
"What?!" Marquis Zhongyong's face changed drastically. He had thought of many possible situations, but he had never thought that the Gu'an battle report might be false.
After all, Lu Jing was among the military supervisors at that time.
"I'd better ask Jing'er about this." The princess had been pondering this on her own, having been terrified all night. But now that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had arrived, she felt more confident and decided to get to the bottom of things.
You must know that Jun Wuzui is not someone you can easily get along with. If you fail to kill him, you will face his double revenge. Therefore, you must find out the details of the War King.
The couple went to Lu Jing's yard together.
At this time, Lu Jing was already so sleepy that he fell asleep. Even when he was sleeping, he was hunched over and cried out in pain from time to time.
At this time, Su Mingyue was also asleep leaning against the bed. Lu Jing treated her like a maid. She was already sick and now looked even more miserable.
"He finally fell asleep, so don't wake him up." Marquis Zhongyong felt sorry for his son and was ready to ask the eldest princess to leave with him.
"That won't do!" The eldest princess had already stepped forward and woke Lu Jing up: "Jing'er, wake up, mother has something to ask you."
When she called out, Su Mingyue woke up immediately. Seeing the eldest princess and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery coming over, she greeted them and then quickly stepped aside in fear.
"Why can't you wait until you wake up to ask?" Lu Jing was full of dissatisfaction after being woken up: "I finally fell asleep..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard in the face.
With a slap, Lu Jing was woken up.
"Are you awake now? Can I ask you now?" the eldest princess asked indifferently.
Marquis Zhongyong took one look at the eldest princess and immediately realized that the Battle of Gu'an was very important to her. It was very likely that the King of War really had some evidence against her.
"What does mother want to know?" Although Lu Jing couldn't see, he knew not to stroke the tiger's beard when the princess was really angry.
"You were unconscious when you came back, so a lot of things were told by the deputy general. But was that deputy general under your command?" The eldest princess asked with a frown.
When the battle report of Gu'an was transmitted back, the court of Dongchu had already prepared for the annihilation of the entire army.
Lu Jingshi was the highest-ranking general among the survivors; the rest were all killed or wounded. Worried about Lu Jing's safety, the princess forgot even the name of the deputy general who escorted him back to the capital.
But that deputy general had been summoned by the emperor himself. After the summons, the emperor was very pleased and all the great military achievements were attributed to Lu Jing.
Now that I think about it, many things seem strange when I look into them carefully.
"Deputy general? Which deputy general is mother talking about?" Lu Jing had no idea at all.
"He's the one who sent you back to Beijing. He had a pale face, was tall and thin, and looked very energetic." The eldest princess couldn't remember the man's name, and now when she thought about his face carefully, it seemed a little blurry.
It seemed that the man looked very ordinary. Apart from being a little thin and tall, he had no other features.
At that time, the eldest princess was busy scolding the imperial physician and the people for offering a reward to save her son. In addition, she knew that the King of War was dead and all the military merits almost fell on her son, so she no longer worried about the battle of Gu'an.
It seemed that no one knew how the deputy general who came from Gu'an City was settled.
"I don't have such a deputy general around me. There were two deputy generals who had a good relationship with my son, but they both died in Gu'an City." Lu Jing denied the man Princess Zhan mentioned without a second thought: "No one alive in Gu'an City is tall, thin, and energetic!"
what? !
The eldest princess was horrified. She looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in disbelief, and her face turned pale.
Could it be that Jun Wuzui's plan started from the moment Lu Jing returned to Beijing?!
