The Spring Festival of the sixth year of Jian'an finally passed with different expectations from different people. On the west side of the new year, countless people in You and Bo areas are all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow. According to the official announcement, New Year's Eve On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, people's household registration will be officially registered in order to complete the distribution of land before the arrival of the farming season. To this end, hundreds of thousands of Youzhou Army elites have been dispersed to various counties years ago. On the one hand, it is necessary for resettlement. On the other hand, it is to cooperate with local governments to complete the important task of household registration.
As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad. No, just when the soldiers and civilians in You and Bo were rejoicing, Wang Zheng was pacing back and forth frantically in the lobby of the main courtyard of Wangjiawu Fort like a trapped animal. Nothing else, although Gongsun Ming showed no signs of taking action against the Wang family, Wang Zheng was sensitively aware of the approaching danger, but he really couldn't think of a way to deal with it - the envoys sent to Xu Du always Not to mention that there was no turning around, and the joint action with Lu Zou and other clan leaders could not be reached. What made him even more frightened was that many descendants of the Wang family issued statements expressing their support for the government's land equalization order and Even some direct descendants who served in the government came to this chapter and expressed their allegiance to Gongsun Ming. Wang Zheng felt that under the embarrassment to the west, how could Wang Zheng be so relaxed?
Loyal to Gongsun Ming? Wang Zheng had not considered this possibility at all, for no other reason than that Wang Zheng had already secretly defected to Cao Cao, and had even plotted against Gongsun Ming on Cao Cao's orders, and had too many interactions with Colonel Mo Jin. After this cooperation, many large tombs in Youzhou were robbed and excavated. All these factors have already determined that Wang Zheng will not be able to work for Gongsun Ming. Even if he wanted to, he would not be able to get Gongsun Ming's approval. In other words, he would not be able to work for Gongsun Ming. There is only one way to go until it becomes dark.
"Master, master, the second master is back."
Just when Wang Zheng was thinking about whether to send someone to negotiate with the Lu and Su families again and give up more benefits in exchange for their cooperation, he saw the second steward Wang Peng hurriedly hurried out of the hall. He came in and rushed to the hall with a few strides, shouting excitedly.
"Quick, please."
The second master, Wang Rong, is Wang Zheng's younger brother and the person Wang Zheng trusts most. The person who quietly rushed to Xudu this time was Wang Rong. Now that he has returned, there must be good news. Thinking of this, Wang Rong Zheng's spirit immediately lifted.
"Brother, good news. The imperial court has issued an edict, declaring that Gongsun Ming's child's decree is against the law and ordering him to make corrections within a time limit. If not, he will call on all the heroes in the world to fight against it. There is also an edict. I canonize my brother as the Marquis of Guannei, and I will be engaged in other affairs in Youzhou of Jin Dynasty. My brother must argue with Gongsun Ming on the basis of reason and not let him deceive the people of the state."
Not long after the second housekeeper left, a middle-aged man in business attire hurried over. He didn't even bother to salute, but started shouting with excitement on his face.
"Oh? Haha... Okay, is the edict here?"
Hearing that Cao Cao had so generously given himself such a high title and official position, Wang Zhengdang burst into laughter. He felt that with the imperial edict in hand, he had the capital to compete with Gongsun Ming.
"The edict is..."
Seeing that his brother was so excited, Wang Rong was also very proud of himself. He reached into his arms to take out the edict hidden close to him.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the army has entered Wubao."
Before Wang Rong could finish his words, he saw the second housekeeper, Wang Peng, rushing out from the screen wall in panic and yelling wildly in fear.
"What? How could this happen?"
Wang Zheng's first worry was that Gongsun Ming would brazenly raise troops to invade. For this reason, he had deliberately issued strict orders not to allow people in Wubao to enter and exit at will. Even in the daytime, they must be strictly guarded. But now he was actually ordered by the officials. The army entered the fort without any hindrance, and Wang Zhengdang turned pale with fright.
"It was Wang Bi, that dog thief, who took advantage of his shift and led a dozen of his accomplices to privately open the fort gate. The officers and soldiers came to kill him. Master, Second Master, you'd better run away quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late. "
Seeing Wang Zheng so shocked, Wang Peng didn't dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly told the reason for the fall of Wubao.
"Damn Wang Bi, you grew up eating the food of my Wang family, yet you dare to do such an ungrateful and evil act, so..."
Wang Bi was the deputy commander of the private troops of the tribe whom Wang Zheng personally designated. Wang Zheng had always trusted this person very much and rewarded him with great kindness, but he never expected that he would be betrayed by him. He was so angry that he was furious.
"Wang Zheng and Wang Rong are over there, come on, capture them alive!"
Before Wang Zheng could finish his curse, he heard a burst of frantic footsteps. A military prince led a large number of soldiers and rushed out from behind the screen wall. Seeing that all the Wang brothers were there, the military prince immediately He was so happy that he waved his hand and gave an order in a loud voice. Immediately after the soldiers in the audience responded with a roar, they all rushed into the hall.
"What do you want to do? I am a Marquis of Guannei named by the imperial court. I am leaving Youzhou. Your Majesty's edict is here. How dare you be so rude!"
After all, Wang Zheng was the head of the clan and he still had courage. Seeing that things were in danger, he didn't care to read the contents of the edict carefully. He grabbed the edict held by his younger brother and raised it high. Se Li burst into tears and yelled wildly.
"Edict? It's an unforgivable crime for Wang Zheng to be brave enough to conceal armored soldiers and ballistae. Now he dares to defy the edict and resist. It's an unforgivable crime. Come on, take it!"
The Han family has been under the rule for five hundred years, and the righteousness of the imperial court has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Because of this, when Wang Zheng said that he had an edict in his hand, all the officers and soldiers, including the military lord, could not help but feel anxious. They didn't know how to deal with him, but at this moment, they saw Gongsun Leng leading dozens of officers from the Military Law Department to walk out of the Zhaobi. As they walked, they told Wang Zheng's crimes with disdain on his face.
"Gongsun Leng, you are a thief, I am the one who has been appointed by the emperor to leave Youzhou. How dare you treat me so rudely? I want to come to visit you!"
As soon as Gongsun Leng showed up like this, the soldiers below did not dare to delay at all. They swarmed up and tied all the Wang brothers and Wang Peng into rice dumplings. Even so, Wang Zheng refused to give in and kept chattering. Talking wildly.
"My lord has an order: The Wang family's crimes are extremely heinous. The whole family will be raped and killed. The young and old of the Wang family will be put into prison cars and paraded through the streets with all the evidence of the crime. Let the people of Ji County have a chance to see the ugly face of the Wang family."
Han Ting's righteousness may still be of some use to others, but to Gongsun Leng, that thing is worse than toilet paper. How can he take it to heart? No matter how loud Wang Zheng screams, Gongsun Leng will naturally Too lazy to pay attention, he just announced Gongsun Ming's order in a serious manner, and all the soldiers immediately obeyed and took the Wang brothers out of the hall without ceremony...
