Chapter 323 Out of the City
Although there were many people, the cell was still terribly depressing. No one spoke, no one moved, and even everyone was extremely cautious when breathing. What kept coming to everyone's ears was the crackling sound of burning torches.
, and the sound of Luo Sigong’s footsteps constantly moving around.
Thin-soled leather boots stepped on the ground, and each one seemed to step on everyone's heart. Everyone looked at Luo Sigong, waiting for him to come up with an idea. Looking back at Liu Fenghua, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Liu Qian
Household, I leave it to you to interrogate these people carefully. Whether Wu Lu is about establishing slaves or smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, all of them must be carefully interrogated. At this point, we have to inform the emperor. As for what to do, it depends on the emperor.
meaning."
"Yes, sir! I understand this humble position!" Liu Fenghua said respectfully after giving a salute to Luo Sigong.
Nodding slowly, Luo Sigong pointed at Liang Jiabin and said in a deep voice: "Don't make things difficult for this person, and try not to die for other people, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't seem right if a few people are not killed in the Dongchang trial."
Luo Sigong's words seemed to be casual. After speaking, he left with Dang Han and others, obviously preparing to do other things.
Liang Jiabin, who was tied there, was scared to death, but he was also happy in his heart. It seemed that his ancestors had really accumulated good deeds. However, thinking of his companions, Liang Jiabin's face felt a little lonely, but he soon
became firm.
After leaving the prison, Luo Sigong took the people back to the place where he lived and sat on his own chair. Luo Sigong said to Dang Han in a deep voice: "The matter has reached this point. We have already reached the door and we cannot hesitate. You will take it tomorrow morning."
People raided the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, and I have to leave the city tonight."
"Your Excellency, do you want to find General He and the others?" Dang Han said in surprise after being stunned for a moment.
Dang Han shook his head firmly. Dang Han said in a deep voice: "Sir, Zhangjiakou Commander-in-Chief Chen Qian is unreliable. The county magistrate Fang Rui already knows about our arrest. Commander-in-Chief Chen Qian must also know. If they jump over the wall in a hurry,
"My lord, it may be dangerous to leave the city at this time!" Dang Han's expression was unusually determined, and he seemed to be preparing to stop Luo Sigong.
Frowning and pondering for a long time, Luo Sigong sighed softly and said with a firm expression: "I have been the commander of the Jinyi Guards for more than thirty years. I have experienced many things and almost survived. There was once a person who I couldn't help but
I would be doing stupid things, but I suddenly realized that I was wrong. Even if I really have a narrow escape this time, I will go!"
"Sir, we have trumpets. As soon as the signal is given, General He's men will come in. There is really no need for you to take this risk." Dang Han slowly knelt on the ground and said with a rather anxious expression.
Frowning slightly, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "I promised the emperor that I must capture Huang Taiji. Shooting a trumpet is naturally the best choice, but not only General He can see it, but Huang Taiji can also see it.
. If they had been prepared, they didn’t know what would happen. Now we are acting very suddenly. They will not get the news before dawn. They must fall into the city before dawn. No matter what Huang Taiji thinks at that time,
It’s useless. We can catch a turtle in a jar.”
"But my lord, this is really too dangerous. Let me go! General He has also seen me. As long as I have your letter, there should be no problem!" Dang Han touched his head to the ground and said loudly.
Without answering Dang Han's words, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Dang Han, you have been following me for more than ten years, and you have some understanding of my character. As an official for a long time, I have become a lot more tactful and sophisticated. You can also say that I am a cunning person.
But I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and the commander of the emperor's personal army. Do you still remember the first imperial edict issued by the current emperor to the Jinyi Guards?"
Dang Han was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Sigong to ask this question at this time. He pondered for a moment and said, "Of course I will remember my humble position!"
Nodding slowly, Luo Sigong said with a chuckle: "At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, so he asked me to lead people to guard the enthronement ceremony. At that time, the emperor did not know who I was, but the emperor chose to believe in me, you know
Why is that?"
"Sir, I don't know how humble my position is!" Dang Han raised his head and looked at Luo Sigong and said in a deep voice.
"Because we are the emperor's personal soldiers, we are the royal guards, and we will not betray the emperor in any case. Since the emperor came to the throne, he has always been loyal to the emperor. I, Luo Sigong, also know what the kindness of knowing someone is. This time the emperor is very concerned about this Huang Taiji.
, If I want to catch him, I must do it for the emperor without making any mistakes." Luo Sigong looked directly at Dang Han and said in a firm voice.
Seeing what Dang Han wanted to say, Luo Sigong waved his hand gently and said resolutely: "Although Chen Qian is unreliable, other people may not be unreliable. I can leave the city from the west. It's not that I don't want you to go, you
Although it is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, the weight is not as heavy as what I came with. I must go out of the city this time."
"Don't worry, sir! Everything will be safe in the city!" Dang Han was not trying to persuade him. He knew that Luo Sigong had already made up his mind. All he could do was to take good care of the city so that Luo Sigong would not have any worries.
After pondering for a long time, Luo Sigong said with a solemn face: "If I don't come back before dawn, just fire the cannon, don't hesitate!"
"Yes, sir! Please bear in mind your humble position!" Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong and replied respectfully: "Sir, you need to bring more people with you! You must bring the two daughters of Laoshan with you."
Shaking his head gently, Luo Sigong said with a smile: "If there is an accident, it will be useless no matter how many people I take with me. As for Laoshan's two daughters, I can't take them with me. Laoshan only has these two daughters in his whole life.
I want to keep it for him to live out his old age peacefully. If anything happens, I'm sorry for Laoshan!"
"Sir!" Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong and said in a hoarse voice.
Without speaking, Luo Sigong stood up slowly, patted Dang Han's shoulder gently, and strode outside.
"Take twenty brothers and get on the horse and follow me!" Luo Sigong stood at the door and looked at the people outside, and ordered loudly, his voice full of determination.
Looking at Luo Sigong's back, his cloak was shaking constantly, Dang Han suddenly felt that the figure was so tall. After kowtowing to Luo Sigong, Dang Han said in a low voice: "My lord, I am here to wait for your return!"
Luo Sigong left and went to He Shixian's military camp. If everything goes well, Zhangjiakou will be different tomorrow.
On Blacksmith Street, although it was already late at night, Huang Taiji and others were still awake. They were all sitting in the room, and no one spoke.
The oil lamp in the room kept beating, flickering on and off. The light shone on everyone's face, and none of them looked very good-looking. Suddenly there were footsteps outside, and a person walked in quickly, it was Ha Yuansheng.
Arriving at Huang Taiji's side, Ha Yuansheng knelt down respectfully and said in a low tone: "My slave, Ha Yuansheng, I have met Lord Baylor!"
After waving his hand, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Get up! Sit down and talk!" When Ha Yuansheng sat down, Huang Taiji asked again: "How is it? Is there any news?"
"Back to Mr. Beile, there is no news! The curfew was already in place at dusk, and the streets were full of patrolling guards. I sent out a few brothers who were good at reaching out. After they went out, they found the brigade of Jin Yiwei. As for what happened, I don't know what happened.
I don’t know.” Ha Yuansheng bowed slightly and said in a low tone.
Huang Taiji sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I am a fish in this house, and I really regret it."
"Master Baylor, you don't have to be like this. We don't know what's going on outside right now. We can't do anything now. Let's wait until daybreak to talk about it! It's a blessing, not a curse, but we can't avoid it." Chen Liangyu on the side said. At this time, he was no longer as good as before.
His face was very rosy.
After listening to Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji frowned and said firmly for a while: "Ha Yuansheng, how many Baturu do you have here?"
"Master Hui Beile, the place here is too small and can only accommodate fifty people. The Batulu here are the most brave and good at fighting." Ha Yuansheng looked at Huang Taiji's eyes, and suddenly felt that the eyes were familiar, and thought for a while
Only then did he realize that it was Nurhachi's determined gaze. Ha Yuansheng's heart suddenly moved. It seemed that Lord Baylor was going to do something crazy.
"We will move out as soon as daybreak. Where are those Baturus? We will go there. If anything happens, we can easily deal with it." Huang Taiji's eyes flashed, obviously thinking about something.
Nodding slowly, Ha Yuansheng said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Baylor!"
Several people glanced at each other. Since this was the case, there was no point in sitting here. After saluting Huang Taiji, they left each other.
Huang Taiji and others naturally didn't know that Luo Sigong had already moved troops outside the city, and Luo Sigong didn't know that Huang Taiji was preparing to move. However, both of them set the time at dawn. History is always full of such coincidences.
Looking at the camp in front of him, Luo Sigong looked very solemn. As long as he passed here, he was done.
Luo Sigong and his party had just arrived at the gate of the camp on horseback, and a group of people had already come out to greet them, led by a general.
"Who are you? What are you doing here so late?" The general sat on his horse and looked at Luo Sigong and others, and asked cautiously.
"We are members of the Jin Yiwei. We need to go to the camp behind for urgent matters." A Jin Yiwei replied loudly, while he got off his horse and walked towards the general with the waist badge of the Beizhen Prefecture.
The general seemed to want to say something more. A soldier beside him said in his ear: "General, it is better to do less than to do more. Aren't there people behind you? No matter what happens, they will have a headache. If there is really something
