Chapter 77 Dare to Kill the Imperial Envoy
Chen Xian listened carefully and nodded continuously.
Zhao Yulin said that the steam engine could still be trial-produced. If it failed, we should find out the reason, which was mainly a problem with the tools. We should keep improving the tools. Even if we couldn't make it in a short time, the improved tools could promote the progress of other products.
Chen Xian understood what he meant, which was to accelerate the progress of weapons and equipment by constantly manufacturing new tools, so that the weapons produced would become more and more advanced.
At this time, someone from Jiangbei came to inform that Chen Zhizhou was called to the government office.
Zhao Yulin crossed the river and arrived at the provincial capital, where Chen Yun introduced that Lord Jia, the imperial envoy from Lin'an, had arrived.
Before Zhao Yulin could salute, the imperial envoy asked him in a duck-like voice: Why hasn't the Shenwei Army set out yet? When will they set out?
Zhao Yulin was a little surprised. He was an imperial envoy of the court, so why was his quality so poor?
He didn't say anything, and the hall was awkwardly quiet.
Chen Yun said to him, "The imperial envoy is asking you a question, so tell me quickly."
Zhao Yulin did not want to offend the imperial envoy and make things difficult for his brothers, so he patiently said: In reply to your words, the Shenwei Army plans to go north by water. It is still the dry season, so it seems that they will set out in April.
The imperial envoy was furious and accused him of deceiving the emperor and betraying the emperor's grace. The emperor ordered the Shenwei Army to march north on foot and set off immediately.
Shit, the government wants him to lead the troops to Hanzhong on foot? If this group of people walk to Hanzhong like this, the fat man will become thin, and the thin man will become bare bones. The enemy will not need to use swords, but can be directly knocked away by horses.
Haha, Zhao Yulin found it interesting. He looked at Envoy Jia up and down with great interest. He felt uncomfortable.
The imperial envoy was angry, drew the sword at his waist and continued to shout: The emperor has ordered the Shenwei Army to march north to Xingyuan Prefecture within three days.
Zhao Yulin just ignored him as if he had met a madman, bowed to Chen Yun, turned around and walked out.
The imperial envoy was stunned. He was in a high position in Lin'an, respected by everyone. He had never suffered such an injustice. Seeing that Zhao Yulin was about to leave, he drew his sword and chased after him, running over with the sword pointed at Zhao Yulin's back.
Zhao Yulin's guards immediately took action, and ten Zhuge crossbows fired three bursts of arrows at the same time. The imperial envoy Jia immediately transformed into Jia Hedgehog.
When Zhao Yulin turned around, he saw that the imperial envoy had fallen to the ground, his shaking limbs slowly calming down. The imperial envoy's entourage ran out of the government office, trembling with fear and saying that the imperial envoy had rebelled and dared to kill the imperial envoy.
The people around saw it clearly and helped Zhao Yulin cry out that it was injustice. They said that it was the imperial envoy who wanted to kill our third young master, so the guards shot and killed the imperial envoy.
Some people also said that our third young master is so good, and the emperor would never kill innocent people, so he must be a fake imperial envoy.
The incident happened suddenly, and more and more people gathered on the street. Chen Yun yelled that he was too reckless. How would this end?
Zhao Yulin stood on the flagpole in front of the door and told everyone what had happened. He then told everyone how someone pretended to be a local soldier and attacked the Shenwei Army. Then he pointed directly at the imperial envoy's followers and asked them to be arrested for detailed interrogation.
The common people around were all protecting the Shenwei Army, and they all shouted to kill these evildoers. The imperial guards were so frightened that they trembled all over and had yellow fluid running down their feet.
The guards stepped forward and lifted them up by the collar and led them to the government office. Immediately, someone screamed that they were the empress dowager's men and that if they dared to touch a hair on their head, their entire clan would be exterminated.
Damn, it’s the Queen Mother’s man again. He’s really haunting her.
Zhao Yulin was furious and scolded him for daring to throw dirty water on the empress dowager, and beheaded him immediately.
Three others had collapsed to the ground out of fear. One of them was still saying that they were sent by the Queen Mother, but he was dragged out and chopped to pieces by the guards.
Zhao Yulin was so angry when he thought of his brothers who had died tragically in the Typhoon Shelter that he ordered the remaining two to be beheaded and hung at the city gate as a warning to the public.
Chen Yun glared at him and asked how it would end? He actually killed the imperial envoy from Lin'an.
Zhao Yulin said that killing the first person was a self-defense counterattack, and killing the latter was to help the Queen Mother wash clothes . He asked to collect all the tokens of the visitors, and asked the clerk to record the whole story and then issue a notice to explain the dispute to the people of Xuzhou.
Chen Yun asked him what he wanted to do. Was he really going to rebel ?
Zhao Yulin said that the officials forced the people to rebel, so what if they rebelled?
Chen Yun seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She said nothing more and went into the house to draft a document and report it directly to Lin'an. She immediately called a meeting at the government office, arranged all matters, and took the housekeeper with her and sailed east that day.
Not long after Zhao Yulin returned home in anger, Chen Xiaomin heard that he had killed the imperial envoy and hurried back to see him. Zhao Yulin said that he would eat, sleep and do his work as usual and he was not afraid.
Fan Zheng said that the imperial envoy's sword was about to pierce the young master, and the guards had no choice but to shoot him.
Zhao Yulin gathered the guards together for a speech, praising them for fulfilling their duties, acting in a timely manner, and killing well. At first, the ten people were terrified and complained in the backyard about who started it, but now that they were praised, they felt relieved.
In addition, in order to commend them for their meritorious service in protecting their master, Zhao Yulin asked Xiaomin to fetch five hundred taels of silver and rewarded each of them with fifty taels.
The brothers were delighted to see the huge pile of cash.
Zhao Yulin went out to look for Zhang Xiangyang from the academy, but saw Chen Chen there too. The old man had already learned about the changes in Jiangbei from little Chen Chen. He said slowly that Lin'an had always been thinking about the Shenwei Army. Chen Gongdu went east to present himself to the emperor.
Zhao Yulin said that the teacher might not be summoned by the emperor, and perhaps the emperor also wanted to kill him. Otherwise, why would he send an imperial envoy for a small military mobilization?
It's obvious that he is here to cause trouble.
Zhang Xiangyang looked at him and asked what to do?
Zhao Yulin said that since the matter had become a big deal, let's make it even bigger. The old gentleman asked two reporters to come over and sort out this matter together with the previous Typhoon Shelter incident and the historian's purchase of the pier, and then link these things together and serialize them in our Cuiping Morning News so that people all over the world will know the truth.
In this way, even if they continue to kill people, at least the people of the world will know who did it.
Zhao Yulin was busy in the academy until dark when he returned home. His mother asked him with concern whether he really killed the imperial envoy.
Zhao Yulin nodded, then shook his head. Tell her that it is a fake, don't be afraid, the court will be able to see through it.
The next day, Cuiping Morning News published a large report on the incident in which Yibin pretended to be an imperial envoy and assassinated Zhao Yulin, the military commander. Ten thousand copies of the newspaper were quickly sold out and quickly spread to both sides of the Yangtze River.
The imperial envoy was killed, and rumors were flying all over the city last night. Today, the Cuiping Morning Post came out with news again, reporting the incident in detail.
Zhao Yulin's move is to tell the truth and set the record straight.
Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family in Jiangbei saw the newspaper and immediately called his eldest son to ask him whether he had succeeded in renting the shop in Jiuzhouba.
Zhao Yuqing agreed and his sister-in-law gave it to him.
Mr. Zhao said that they should retreat quickly. San'er was a troublemaker. He had killed the imperial envoy this time, so he would have to go to jail, or even be sentenced to extermination of his entire family. He should retreat quickly.
Zhao Yuqing said that since his third brother dared to kill, that person must deserve to be killed, so what is there to be afraid of?
Besides, what's the point of getting a refund for the money I paid to rent the shop temporarily?
Master Zhao pointed at his eldest son and said: "You rebellious son, how could you have known the consequences of the emperor's wrath..."
The prefect of Jiazhou, Zhen Daren, saw the news in the newspaper. He held the newspaper and ordered his men to go to Yibin immediately. He took a speedboat and arrived at Xuzhou Prefecture in the evening of the same day. When he learned that Chen Yun had personally gone to Lin'an to report the news, he realized that Chen Yun was a member of the Imperial City .
He let out a long sigh and went across the river to find Zhao Yulin.
Zhao Yulin was supporting Ma Linger and taking a walk with his mother. When he heard that Master Zhen had arrived, he quickly changed his clothes and went to the living room.
When the real prefect met him, he said that he thought the incident was not big enough and wanted to publicize it in the newspapers?
Zhao Yulin said that we are just common people without roots, how dare we challenge Lin'an, he just wanted to let everyone know the truth so that he can die with peace of mind.
The prefect came closer and asked him: What's going on?
Zhao Yulin pointed at the newspaper on the coffee table and said: That's what happened. Everyone in Xuzhou saw it clearly, so there was no need for him to cover up the facts.
The real prefect fell into deep thought. He had heard something in Lin'an before coming to Jiazhou. The Shi family messed up things in Yibin. Prime Minister Shi had his eyebrows shaved off by Zhao Yulin with a razor. They have been looking for a chance to take revenge. This time they are definitely using the name of the imperial envoy to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy, Eunuch Jia, did not give Zhao Yulin face when he met him. He became angry and drew his sword to kill someone, but was shot to death by Zhao Yulin's guards.
Zhao Yulin said that it was getting dark now, so you might as well stay in Sanjiangkou .
The real governor stayed in Sanjiangkou for one night. He saw the lively night scene of Cuiping Mountain and witnessed the harmony and peace here, and the prosperous scene where people did not lock their doors at night.
The next day's Cuiping Morning Post was in his hands again, and the newspaper became more and more exquisite.
Today's newspaper brought up last year's Typhoon Shelter incident and interpreted it in detail, implicitly pointing out that it was the Imperial Guards in Lin'an who were responsible.
The prefect and Zhao Yulin had just had breakfast together. After reading the newspaper, he immediately called Zhao Yulin and asked him if what was said in the newspaper was true?
Did the Imperial Guards really come to Yibin to attack the Shenwei Army?
Zhao Yulin smiled and asked, "Why would the emperor send the Imperial Guards to kill him?" No, it was impossible. It was most likely that the private soldiers raised by the enemies of the Shenwei Army pretended to be him.
However, those soldiers were indeed wearing luxurious clothes, their underwear was the same as the Imperial Guards, and they were holding strong bows and crossbows that only the Imperial Guards had. It is hard to say that they have no connection with the Imperial Guards, and it might be as your adults have inferred.
He said that after that incident, the adults came to Jiazhou from Lin'an.
At this time, Fan Zheng came in to report that Chief Lei had returned with his brothers.
Zhao Yulin told the prefect that such a big thing had happened and the Shenwei Army was going to hold an emergency meeting to explain the situation. Would you like to go and give the speech?
The real prefect was stunned at first, then he said, "Let's go. It's a good opportunity to meet the heroes of the Mahujiang battle." The two of them got on a carriage and went to the military camp.
When we arrived at the central military tent, all the captains were present.
Zhao Yulin invited the real prefect to sit in the main seat, and all the generals saluted the real prefect together.
He introduced to Master Zhen the heroine, Fire Phoenix, the captain of the Ninth Corps; and the water dragon, Zhou Ping, the captain of the Navy Corps...
The real prefect looked at the spirited soldiers and praised them in amazement.
Lei Man asked Zhao Yulin in a muffled voice: Is it true that Yibin killed the fake imperial envoy?
