Chapter 284 Can’t escape tonight

At this moment, in the handsome tent,

Jiao Xiong opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, then took off the blanket on his body, and then put on a robe calmly.

Seeing the frightened and helpless nephew sitting at the bottom, he also sighed. If you are so brave, you still go to intercept and kill him. God will take care of you and you can escape.

scolded;

"Idiot, do you think that a powerful prince who is a feudal official is as stupid as you? This time our Jiao family has repaid the favor of Dongwangfu, and it can also be considered as a test for people from the capital. Besides, the emperor sent people to

Jiangnan, it is inevitable that the Supreme Emperor has some suspicions in his heart. I already sent the urgent secret information to the Supreme Emperor when you led the troops out. Otherwise, you think I can agree to let you go, and you don't even know how much you weigh.

two."

"Ah, it turns out to be like this. Uncle, aren't you afraid that your nephew will really succeed on the river?"

Jiao Xiong sat in the handsome tent with eyes wide open, looking at Jiao Ke who was talking shamelessly below, a trace of ridicule flashed across his face;

"Just you, in your dreams, relying on those useless guards or the people from the palace army you brought, I am afraid that only the old troops of the Dongwang Palace who are connected with you are still capable of fighting. Besides, Luo Yunhou's men are not

If you win the first place by talking, if you are not in the water, it is just one round on the road, how can you come back? Don't worry for now, there is no evidence, even suspicion will not break your face."

Jiao Ke's face turned red with shame. Although his words were not good, he knew that what his uncle said was true. Those sergeants wearing heavy armor cooperated so well, and no one made any unnecessary noise, as if they were dead soldiers who only knew how to kill.

.

Suddenly I thought of the strange thing about the water bandits on the river at the last moment, so I said;

"Uncle, my nephew has something to report. It is a bit unusual in Xihe County. My nephew has never thought about who did it."

Jiao Xiong saw his nephew's confused look, he must have encountered something, so he asked,

"What's the matter? Do you still think that those government soldiers and guardsmen are just abandoned sons and will never come back."

Jiao Ke was still a little unwilling to give in. It was just a little bit worse. If he climbed up, it would be considered his persistence.

"Quick, hold on, report it to Madam, and think of a solution quickly."

Looking into the hall, I saw a room filled with warblers and swallows, weeping there.

The old housekeeper was begging with a sharp knife in hand. Madam Yan saw that she was almost in the middle courtyard. She hoped to attract the eyes of the imperial army, and then rushed out from the backyard to be more confident, so she said;

"Okay, you take Xiao Yan'er away, and I'll stay here to attract their attention. I hope you can run out."

"Are you stupid? If something happens to the imperial envoy on our territory, who do you think can protect us? The ambush on the river was all done by water bandits. It has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?"

"Well, go ahead. I'll give you an order not to take any action against Luo Yunhou and the others, and you'll also have to send someone to protect them secretly. Do you understand?"

The imperial troops outside were unable to do anything about the deep mansion in front of them. They had no choice but to form a human wall and bang against the gate of Yan's Mansion.

"I will leave first with my guards to attract the attention of the Forbidden Army. You can go out later and run directly into the alley. They are not familiar with the terrain and cannot catch up. If you leave, go hide in Lao Zhuangzi outside the city. Someone will come.

I’m looking for you, this is a token,”

Mrs. Yan was naturally dressed neatly and sat in the high hall, with a pair of children sitting next to her. When she heard the shouts of killing outside, she couldn't help but hugged the children tightly. She felt sad in her heart. It could be seen that something had happened to the master, and now the house was under fire.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out.

However, the Imperial Guards and horses from behind kept pouring in, and the guards had no choice but to fight at close range with their swords. The two parties fought together and fought fiercely.

Looking at his nephew who was still sitting there, he comforted him;

As soon as they entered the gate, the Imperial Guards were shot dead by the guardsmen who were ambushing at the gate. The Imperial Guards never expected to encounter an ambush, and they suffered a huge loss for a while.

When Ningbian saw that there were so many Guardsmen inside, he waved his hand and continued to let the Forbidden Army behind him rush in. With the number of people, the Guardsmen retreated steadily, and screams could not be heard for a while.

"let me go!"

In Jinling City,

Jiao Ke was also a little frightened, and immediately stood up and bowed;

"Thank you, uncle. My nephew will definitely check it out carefully. Then my nephew will leave and my uncle will have a rest early."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines realized that this was poisonous wine, and they all tried to run out hoarsely, but little did they know that there were guards outside the door and the exit had been sealed long ago.

The Forbidden Army also brought a wooden awl, with ten people on each side carrying it. The person at the back pushed hard, and the wooden awl in front hit the wooden door heavily.

The imperial guards outside the door were still banging hard against it little by little, and the door was getting loose little by little. The big iron nails on the door shaft kept moving outward, and it was about to collapse.

"Everyone is gathered around. Go back to the old palace and get the hornwood. There's no rush."

The housekeeper and the guards all knelt down and kowtowed, then they carried the young master and led everyone to the backyard. When they arrived at the backyard, the old housekeeper divided the guards into two groups.

There are even many leaders of the government army living here, and they are even more frightened. These people who seem to be the Forbidden Army, what is going on outside.

However, Jiangnan was so shady, and it was obvious that only one of his own could understand it so clearly, so Jiao Xiong felt more cautious.

"Yes, General."

"Come here, bring some wine."

quickly,

After a moment of turmoil, many people were almost arrested. The men were detained and walked out first. Anyone who was slower would be whipped.

"Old madam, time is running out. We can't hold it anymore. Let's fight out from the backyard and leave some flesh and blood for the master."

There was a "squeak" sound, and the wooden door made a dull sound. It was obviously loose, and the impact was very strong.

There were various sounds of begging for mercy and angry curses, but no one answered.

In the silent night, the sound spread very far and seemed a bit harsh. Even if some neighboring houses heard the sound, they closed their doors tightly and did not dare to make a sound, knowing that something happened outside tonight.

"One, two, three, hit. One, two, three, hit!"

The deputy general drew his long sword and led a large number of guards and bodyguards around him to ambush at the door.

outside the house,

The steward outside shivered and brought over a jug of wine and a few cups. Before Concubine Ji around her could react, Mrs. Yan said;

"Let them drink it and accompany me earlier."

"Keep banging!"

"Kill."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ningbian also frowned when he saw this. There were actually people from the Guards inside. It seemed that they had been prepared. Seeing so many people surrounding the deep courtyard in front of him, it was natural that no one could escape, so he ordered his men;

I think Dongwang is the same. He went to such great lengths to fight for a few big-ass salt merchants. Hey, it wasn’t just for the money. Jiao Xiong also knew the difficulties and difficulties of Dongwang Mu Shi, but what to do with so much money? He suddenly thought of Beidi.

The frontier army, Mingwei General Yang Baoqing, could only be him. The strength of his men is unknown, but they are quite numerous.

A large number of people from the Forbidden Army and the Imperial City Department began to search and confiscate homes in the city. Their targets were all the generals above the rank of captain of the Jinling Guards, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Jiao Xiong didn't care about the so-called war, but he had some doubts about who was organizing the water bandits behind the scenes. Besides himself, his nephew and the commander of the Jinling Guards Yan Cong knew about this matter. No third party knew about it.

Who is it?

In the end, the woman was crying and was escorted back. At this time, she calmed down after the sound faded away. Many wealthy families secretly sent people behind the door to listen to what was going on outside, trying to find out more.

"Uncle knows about this. You should have a good rest in the camp and don't go out to show your face. No one can act wild here. You should also conduct a thorough investigation in secret to see who is causing trouble behind and who can plot against us and the court.

The means must be extraordinary. If my guess is correct, there are many people in Jiangnan watching us below."

Seeing the wailing concubines around me, I felt a sense of disgust in my heart. I just suffered a lot for my children. Now that they are in such a field, the Yan Mansion is not short of taking care of them, let alone their food and clothing.

It was impossible for them to go out today no matter what. Rather than being humiliated, they might as well follow the master. It was time for them to prepare for the road.

All the guards outside rushed in, held down the concubines, opened their mouths, and drank the poisoned wine. After a while, the beautiful woman vomited blood and fell to the ground. It was obvious that she had failed.

.

Jiao Ke was so anxious that he didn't think clearly about what was going on. After hearing his uncle's warning, he knew what was going on. He hurriedly went down to make arrangements and clean up the secret hands of those people before something happened.

There was a roar,

The door was knocked open,

He said and handed over a jade pendant.

"Hurry up!"

"Run quickly,"

"Yes, ma'am."

"It's not about this, uncle, but at the critical moment of ambushing the navy, a large number of water bandits from Xihe County seemed to have agreed upon it. They all gathered on the west bank, and then at about the same time, they attacked us from behind. It was considered a failure. We all quickly boarded.

We're on the first big boat, there are quite a few water bandits."

The house had been broken into long ago. The Imperial Guards and the people from the Imperial City Department went in and immediately started arresting everyone. No matter who they were, they would all be arrested and detained as long as they were in the house.

"Brothers, Commander Strict has treated us well. Now is the time to repay the kindness of Commander and Envoy. We should cherish each of them and fight with them."

Especially in the deep courtyard where the command was strict, there were so many guards, and there was even a deputy general guarding the house with his guards.
