Li Jie still trusts the imperial tomb guards very much, because the imperial tomb guards are essentially imperial guards, and they are the same as the imperial guards guarding the imperial city, and sometimes they are even rotated. In addition, the imperial tomb guards generally do not deal with local areas, so they will not be affected by local areas and are usually only destined to the emperor.

Therefore, after seeing Commander Tong, Li Jie immediately explained his situation in detail, which shocked Commander Tong. He did not expect that in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there were still people who dared to attack Li Jie, the prince-consort, and even set up an ambush at the Fengyang City Gate.

"What do you need us to do, just give me instructions!" Commander Tong made a decision immediately.

Originally, the Imperial Mausoleum Guard was not under the command of anyone, even Li Jie could not do it. Unless Li Jie had Zhu Yun's imperial edict in his hand, but as Li Jie's identity, commander Tong could not sit rudely no matter what, otherwise Zhu Yun's future would definitely tear him to pieces.

What's more, Li Jie had already used the Imperial Mausoleum Guard when he was in Nanjing. With this precedent, Commander Tong was not worried about being questioned in the future. Gu Wei even felt that this was also a great opportunity to make contributions, and he might be transferred to other places. After all, although it is comfortable to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, he has no future after all. If nothing unexpected happens, he will even die of old age in office.

Li Jie was not polite, and immediately asked, "I wonder how many troops the commander Tong can use? Now I need to take down Gu Wei, the guardian of the South Gate, so as to investigate the commander behind him."

"There are 2,000 people stationed in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, but the daily guards of the imperial tomb require at least 1,000 people, so I can only use one thousand people." Commander Tong replied immediately. Compared with the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, the troops stationed in Fengyang are obviously much less.

"It's enough. Attacking the imperial court's orders is equivalent to treason. Gu Wei used the defenders to set up traps. He probably wouldn't tell the truth to his soldiers. He could only use lies to deceive the soldiers for his use. Therefore, as soon as the army arrived, he could be captured immediately!" Huang Hua next to him immediately spoke.

"Okay, please commander Tong, please order your troops immediately, let's set off immediately!" Li Jie ordered immediately.

Gu Wei immediately received the order and immediately mobilized his troops. After the troops gathered, Li Jie personally led his troops to Fengyang City. Originally, Huang Hua was worried about Li Jie's safety and wanted him to stay in the imperial tomb. It was enough to have him and Commander Tong led the troops, but Li Jie refused.

As for the Confucian scholar Yang Yu, he was left in the imperial tomb by Li Jie and sent someone to take strict supervision. After all, he knew that the commander behind the attack on Li Jie was Wang Shuying, the Minister of War. If what he said was true, he would need to be a witness to identify the other party in the future.

This time, Li Jie and the others did not take a detour, but entered the city directly from the west gate of Fengyang City. When the generals guarding the city saw the imperial guards suddenly coming, they were so scared that they almost asked someone to close the city gate. It was not until Li Jie showed his identity that the other party let down their guard.

Then Li Jie led his troops from the west gate to the city, and then rushed all the way to the south gate. The reason why he did not walk outside the city was mainly because Li Jie was worried that Gu Wei would close the city gate after seeing the matter was exposed. Just like the west gate just now, if the city gate was closed, they might even have difficulty entering the city. In contrast, there would be no such concerns when attacking the city gate from the city.

Li Jie and the others rushed to the south gate. When the defenders at the city gate saw the army suddenly coming out from behind, they were all stunned. They all looked at a young general guarding the city gate. The young general's face changed drastically when he saw the imperial guards, especially when he saw Li Jie and Huang Hua in the team, he showed despair.

"Gu Wei intends to assassinate the Ming Dynasty prince consort, and the crime should be punished by the nine clans. If you don't put down your weapons quickly, otherwise you will be treated as a member of the party!" Huang Hua immediately shouted at the defenders at the city gate.

Sure enough, these defenders had just obeyed orders before, and Gu Wei only told them to clear out a group of bandits disguised as they were in the city. However, the bandits had not waited, but waited for Li Jie to come with the imperial guards, which made many people lose their composure. For a moment, they all looked at the young general at the city gate, namely Gu Wei.

However, what no one expected was that when Gu Wei saw that the matter was exposed, he pulled out his waist knife very decisively and then applied it to his neck. A stream of blood was sprayed out from his neck, and then the body fell into the cave in the city gate.

Seeing Gu Wei committing suicide, Li Jie and Huang Hua's faces became a little ugly, especially Huang Hua, who was even more angry. He immediately pulled out his waist and stepped forward, forcing the soldiers guarding the gate to put down his weapons. When these people saw that their boss actually committed suicide on the spot, they felt that something was wrong, so they also left their weapons one after another.

"Discharge everyone's weapons and control them temporarily!" Li Jie pointed to the defenders who had already given up their resistance and ordered again.

Gu Wei agreed and immediately ordered his subordinates to remove all the weapons and armor of the defenders, and then concentrate on guarding them. Although these people may have been deceived by Gu Wei, some of them may be Gu Wei's accomplices, so they must be carefully interrogated before they can let go.

After controlling the situation, Li Jie also stepped to Gu Wei's body. He had a very firm will when he committed suicide and was very decisive in his actions. His neck was almost cut halfway, and blood was sprayed everywhere. Naturally, he could not die anymore.

However, Li Jie did not let Gu Wei go, but signaled to Huang Hua. The other party immediately understood and immediately searched Gu Wei's whole body, but he found a letter.

Huang Hua handed the letter to Li Jie. Li Jie opened the letter and looked at it, but found that it turned out to be a letter from home, which was written to him by Gu Wei's father. The beginning of the letter was normal, but it was just a chat about the family matters between father and son.

However, in the middle part of the letter, the content changed. The old father who wrote the letter actually started to curse Li Jie, saying that Li Jie was a ruthless person in the officialdom of Jiangnan, and was invincible. Anyway, there was no good thing.

At the end of the letter, the old father once again told Gu Wei to obey the instructions of the sender, and that he would cooperate with all his strength no matter what the other party asked him to do. If something happened in the future, someone would take care of him and let him not have any concerns.

"The sender?" Li Jie also felt sank when he saw this. This sender must be the key. If Yang Yu was right, then the sender may be the confidant of Wang Shuying, the Minister of War. But what role does Yang Yu play in this matter?

When Li Jie thought of Yang Yu, he couldn't help but frown. It was strange that he always felt that the name Yang Yu sounded a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
