Looking Shen Quan up and down, Wei Guogong nodded slowly, but he was still a little shocked in his heart. Although he had long heard that Sun Chuanting was a good person and his soldiers were also elite soldiers, Wei Guogong was not too convinced.

However, when he saw Shen Quan, Wei Guogong was still quite shocked. This calmness and calmness could not be found in the commanders under his command. His eyes were sharp and he had a strong killing intent. He is a tough general. Looking at the five hundred soldiers behind him, they are standing there neatly, motionless, and full of energy.

"Commander Shen, please tell me if you have anything to say! If you can help, my Duke will definitely help." Wei Guogong looked at Shen Quan with a smile, a touch of loneliness flashed in his heart, and there was a vague feeling in his heart.

Since Emperor Tianqi came to the throne, he has attached great importance to military power, and everyone in the court knows this. Now Nanjing is also going to carry out military reform, and the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers will definitely increase a lot. Originally, Duke Wei was very happy, but But there was a vague feeling of something bad.

"Master Huiguo, the general has come to arrest people under the emperor's imperial decree. I wonder where Governor Luo of Jinyiwei is now?" Shen Quan actually didn't have much interest in talking to Wei Guogong. Emperor Tianqi had told him before he came. After finding Luo Sigong and with the cooperation of the Jin Yiwei, arresting him would be no problem. As for Wei Guogong, in Shen Quan's opinion, this is the person who will be eliminated.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, whether they were civil servants or military generals, they could only serve for a lifetime. Only Wei Guogong was a generational assembly, and the title was nothing more. The key was military power. Although he was a commander, Shen Quan felt that after this incident, Emperor Tianqi would definitely I will not put the power of general in the hands of Wei Guogong.

Seeing that Shen Quan didn't want to talk to him anymore, Wei Guogong felt a little angry, but he still said calmly: "Captain Luo is here, isn't that there?" He pointed at Luo Sigong who was walking over. There was a smile on Wei Guogong's face. .

Shen Quan quickly turned around and saw Luo Sigong coming over. After announcing his crime to Wei Guo, he strode over thinking of Luo Sigong. When he came to Luo Sigong's side, Shen Quan saluted respectfully and said: "Shen Quan, a humble official." .See Governor Luo!"

Looking at Shen Quan in front of him, Luo Sigong was stunned. Who is this person? He seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he still couldn't remember. He looked like he was dressed as a third-grade military attaché, but he was still a lot different from himself. He frowned and said, "General Shen, please rise. I wonder what the general wants from me?"

Luo Sigong is not in the mood to talk to Shen Quan now. He has just received a message. Emperor Tianqi has arrived and is walking towards Nanjing City. He will arrive soon. He is here to find Wei Guogong and pick him up together. It can be said that he is uneasy. abnormal.

When he came to Nanjing this time, not only did his job go wrong, but Zhou Jiamo also died. It can be said that he was completely defeated. Luo Sigong himself was embarrassed to say that he had credit for suppressing the rebellion. If it weren't for his own negligence, how could these subsequent things have happened?

Shen Quan was naturally aware of Luo Sigong's attitude towards him. He didn't take it too seriously and said calmly: "Captain Luo, the general is here under the emperor's order. He went to Nanjing to arrest a few people. The general is coming. Before leaving, the Emperor has told me to ask Mr. Luo for help!"

Luo Sigong was slightly stunned. Shen Quan's words were very rude, but Luo Sigong thought it was normal. After all, he was quoting Emperor Tianqi's words. If he was too polite, he wouldn't be able to bear it. Since it was Emperor Tianqi's will, Luo Sigong naturally didn't dare Niao. After thinking for a while, he said: "General Shen, now that the emperor has arrived outside Nanjing, should we go to greet him first and then capture the prisoner?"

As for who Shen Quan wanted to arrest, Luo Sigong didn't need to think about it. He had already sent someone to arrest him. This arrest was also a credit, and he didn't want to throw it away. Shen Quan was now talking about the king's orders, and Luo Sigong was polite when he spoke. very.

The emperor came. Shen Quan did not expect Emperor Tianqi to come so quickly, but he still shook his head and said: "Master Luo, the emperor's order to the general is to arrest people, and nothing can be delayed. After the general catches people, he will also So that I can deliver orders to His Majesty."

After taking a deep look at Shen Quan, Luo Sigong nodded, waved to Dang Han behind him, and said: "General Shen, I am going to pick you up, and I will ask Dang Tongzhi to take you with him regarding the arrest. Come on! I'm not hiding it from General Shen. The rebel Jin Yiwei has already started arresting them. Maybe they are the same people General Shen wants to arrest!" After saying that, Luo Sigong left with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Shen Quan looked at Luo Sigong walking away and slowly shook his head. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. I'm afraid Governor Luo won't be able to do this for long. He shook his head and pushed this thought out of his mind. Shen Quan Dang Han walked to the side with a smile.

Luo Sigong was not interested in Shen Quan's thoughts at all. He was thinking about Emperor Tianqi. He walked to Wei Guogong, glanced at Chen Ling, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Eunuch Chen. I haven't seen you for many years. Chen My father-in-law’s style remains the same!”

"Lord Luo, please don't make fun of our family. We are only in our dying years. When will we grow old, we will be perfect." Chen Ling smiled and waved his hand. Naturally, he was no stranger to Luo Sigong, and he spoke with less care.

Wei Guogong on the side frowned, with a bit of helplessness on his face, and said with a smile: "Captain Luo, isn't your matter over there finished? Why do you have the time to come here?"

Smiling apologetically at Chen Ling, Luo Sigong turned to Duke Wei with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Master Guo, the emperor has arrived and is coming here now. Let's go and greet him!"

Duke Wei was stunned for a moment. The emperor is here? He was also a little uneasy. He glanced at Chen Ling on the side and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go pick him up. I wonder if Eunuch Chen can pass?"

He rolled his eyes at Wei Guogong, the emperor is here, do you dare not to pick him up? He waved the fly whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Wei Guogong is joking, the emperor is coming to Nanjing, how dare we not pick him up?"

The three of them did not dare to delay any longer and walked out together, preparing to meet Emperor Tianqi.

Fang Mansion is located near the noble Imperial City in Nanjing City, three streets away from Hongwu Gate in the Outer Imperial City. The entire house faces east and west, occupying most of the street. Fang Mansion, which is usually busy with traffic, is here. It can be described as deserted. The door is closed and there is no one at the door.

In fact, the entire Fang Mansion has almost been evacuated, and what is left is just an empty shell. At this time, Fang Shihong was kneeling outside the door of the ancestral hall, with tears on his face, and said: "Father, let's go with your son! Are you there? It’s too late to leave, the arresters are coming soon!”

Crunch! The door of the ancestral hall was gently pushed open, and an old man walked out, holding a cane in his hand. His hair was white, his beard was messy, and he looked a little haggard. He was Fang Congzhe, the former chief assistant scholar of the cabinet.

Looking at Fang Shihong kneeling on the ground, Fang Congzhe shook his body a few times and slowly closed his eyes.

Muddy tears flowed down from his dry eyes. He stabbed the ground with the crutch in his hand and said, "I never thought that our family would have such a day. I have been an official all my life, and I can't say that I am dedicated to serving the country."

People, I can respect you and feel no shame in my heart. I didn’t expect that when I got old, I would be known as a traitor. We, Congzhe, are ashamed of the emperor and our ancestors!"

Fang Shihong looked at his old father, with a flash of anger on his face, but more of it was anxiety. He glanced at Fang Fu beside him and winked at him. In Fang Shihong's opinion, the old father should be kidnapped first.

The rest will be discussed later.

Taking out a small bottle with trembling hands, Fang Congzhe said with a smile: "Stop making crooked ideas. Although I'm old, I can't be manipulated by you. It's already painful that I, Fang Congzhe, can't destroy this evil obstacle of yours with my own hands."

I’m sorry. I’m determined not to leave with you now. This bottle is filled with crane crown red. If you want to take me away by force, I’ll drink it right now.”

"Master, it's too late, let's go! If we wait any longer, we won't be able to leave!" Fang Fu looked at Fang Congzhe, then at Fang Shihong who was kneeling on the ground, and lowered his voice in Fang Shihong's ear.

Fang Shihong looked at Fang Conzhe with red eyes, kowtowed three times to Fang Conzhe respectfully, with a flash of determination on his face, turned around and walked out.

Looking at Fang Shihong's leaving back, Fang Congzhe seemed to have drained all his strength and fell softly. He threw the crutch in his hand on the ground and leaned against the door frame. Tears continued to drip down and he murmured in his mouth.

Said to himself: "What a sin!"

"Master, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Now that things have happened, don't think about what is possible. Maybe you will die tomorrow. I made my favorite side dishes for you and asked me to have a few drinks with you.

, just like before." An old man was holding a dinner plate with a pot of wine and two wine glasses on it.

Raising his head and looking at the old housekeeper who had served him all his life, Fang Congzhe flashed a smile on his face and said: "At this time, why don't you leave? You will die if you stay here!"

"When the master saved me, I was just twenty-six years old. This year, I am 40 to 70. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than forty years. This old slave should have died a long time ago. He has spent the past forty years.

Picked it up. At such an old age, death is not a small loss, it is a joyous loss." The old man didn't care at all. He put the dinner plate on the ground and there was no table. He picked up the wine pot and got two glasses of wine.

He handed it to Fang Congzhe and placed another cup in front of him.

Alas! Fang Congzhe sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "At this time, you really shouldn't think too much. Originally, I wanted to die, and this was the only thing I could do. But now I don't want to
