The Golden Age: Great shame and shame

The atmosphere in the house was quite depressing, and several subordinates did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse, and such a difficult situation would appear.

Qiao Ruixin thought for a while, and finally said: "Master Hou, the most important thing is Qin Xiao. It is said that this person broke into Tsing Yi Tang alone in Kyoto and killed many people in Tsing Yi Tang, and the patron behind Tsing Yi Tang, It's the princess again. There should be a rift between them. At the end, it is very strange. Why would Qin Xiao serve the princess?"

"What do you want to say?"

"The final general thinks whether he can win Qin Xiao." Qiao Ruixin said: "If Qin Xiao can abandon the dark and cast the light and serve the Lord Hou, many problems will be solved."

Qi Shen couldn't help saying: "Since the princess sent him here, she naturally trusts him very much. It is no easy task to win over him."

Qiao Ruixin sneered: "You are wrong. The princess's move is indeed beyond our expectation, but the princess has no choice but to do this." After a pause, he said: "The princess can't think of other tricks to reverse the situation. Only Qin Xiao is qualified to review the case by using the Law of the Tang Dynasty. At present, in Jiangnan, only Qin Xiao has this qualification. So Qin Xiao was sent to Hangzhou. It is not so much that the princess trusts him, it is better to say that the princess has no other candidates and has to send him Come here."

Xia Houning stretched his eyebrows slightly and said, "Go on."

"Master Hou, in addition to the Qingyitang incident, don't forget that there is also the Ministry of War." Qiao Ruixin smiled lightly: "The former Shangshu Fan Wenzheng of the Ministry of War is the person who pulled up the princess with one hand. He controls the Ministry of War and works under the princess. Among the people, his status is extraordinary. But in the end, this Fan Butang not only lost the Ministry of War, but also lost his head at Caishikou. This is undoubtedly a serious injury to the princess. The princess may not take Tsing Yi Tang to his heart, but Let her lose the Ministry of War, Lord Hou thinks the princess will forget this account?"

Xia Honing thoughtfully, did not speak.

"Maybe they have a common opponent in Suzhou, so they are walking together, but the old accounts are not so easy to disappear." Qiao Ruixin said solemnly: "Even if the princess really ignores the predecessors, let it go, but Qin Xiao What do you think in his mind? He knows that he has offended the princess, but he can't figure out whether the princess will settle accounts after the autumn. As long as there is a rift between the two, it is an opportunity."

Xia Hou Ning nodded slightly and said: "Are you asking Ben Hou to talk with Qin Xiao?"

"The Jiangnan Rebellion has greatly hurt the princess' vitality." Qiao Ruixin said: "Qin Xiao is a wise man, it is impossible to fail to see this. Lord Hou only needs to make him understand that allegiance to Lord Hou is far more loyal than princess loyalty. Even more promising, Qin Xiao may not make another choice."

Qi Shen's eyes lit up, and he interjected: "Master Hou, General Zhong Lang said that is very true. As long as Qin Xiao can be our person, the cases handled these days will not be reversed, and the princess can only watch. Watching us wipe out her power in Hangzhou."

"Now Qin Xiao is outside the city, and Master Hou can even go out of the city tomorrow to meet Qin Xiao in person. So Qin Xiao can naturally feel the sincerity of Master Hou." Qiao Ruixin laughed and said, "As long as Master Hou is interested in it. Qin Xiao made it clear and assured his future. In the end, no one would reject Hou Ye’s good intentions. Without Qin Xiao’s support, Fan Yang would immediately fall to his knees and couldn’t afford anything. The storm is coming."

Xia Huning thought a little, then glanced at the few officers present, and asked: "What do you think?"

"What Zhonglang Jiang said is the best policy!"

The generals present all agreed.

Xiahouning said: "You have not slept all night, so go down and rest first. Qishen, after dawn, you will bring a team of cavalry out of the city with Benhou, not too many people."

Qi Shen hurriedly said: "The humble general obeys the order

! "

If before, Xia Houning would never have gone out of the city to meet a Dali Temple official with the honor of a marquis, but in order to achieve the goal of clearing away the power of Musk Moon in Hangzhou, it would not be unacceptable to condescend. .

In order to ensure that she would not look haggard when she saw Qin Xiao, Xia Houning slept with clothes and recharged her energy.

I don’t know how long it took, and suddenly I heard someone whispering in his ear. He immediately opened his eyes, sat up, and found that the sky was already bright, and a thin elder who was over fifty years old was standing next to him. Scream softly.

This old man is one of the four personal guards brought here.

Hangzhou is not in the Xiahou family’s sphere of influence. Even though there are thousands of military officers and soldiers in his hand, Xiahou Ning knows that there are too many enemies of the Xiahou family. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, and he always has a little negligence. When the enemy finds a chance, he may not assassinate himself.

I can't always bring thousands of people by my side.

He lives in a magnificent house in the city. The owner of the house has already been imprisoned. Although the house is heavily guarded, four guards are always there to protect him.

There was an assassination scene last night, and one life was lost. He said he was a guard by his side, but he also found an ordinary soldier casually.

The four guards are all guards hired by Xiahou's family, and they are naturally reluctant to lose.

There are many masters in the rivers and lakes, but the real masters do not bother to work for the nobles. However, the Xiahou family is the true first family of the current Datang Empire. It is naturally not difficult to find some masters in the middle of the sky.

This old man is the head of the four major guards. He has a big mole on his forehead and the bridge of his nose is like an eagle hook, so he got the nickname of a black eagle. As for his real name, not many people know it.

The black-headed eagle has served Xiahou’s family for many years. Although he is Xiahouning’s personal guard, he is considered Xiahouning’s master. He has already worshipped the black-headed eagle as his teacher many years ago and has been given skills.

"What's the matter?" Xia Houning was a little surprised when the black-headed eagle suddenly appeared beside him.

The black-headed eagle whispered: "I just came to report, Qin Xiao has brought troops into the city!"

Xia Houning was startled first, and then showed a sharp look on his face: "Bring soldiers into the city? When?"

"General Joe is waiting outside." The black-headed eagle didn't say much.

Xia Houning went out and saw Qiao Ruixin waiting outside, and immediately asked: "What the **** is going on?"

"Master Hou, just half an hour ago, Qin Xiao led his troops into the city from the south gate." Qiao Ruixin greeted him and said, "It has been proved that the soldiers and horses entering the city were not only brought by him from Suzhou." Xiangyong was also slain by two thousand steppers from the Hangzhou camp, with as many as five or six thousand people."

"How can they dare to enter the city without the order of the lord?" Xia Houning clenched fists with both hands, his face even more ugly.

He originally planned to go out of the city to see Qin Xiao today, but who knew he hadn't left yet, Qin Xiao actually led his soldiers back into the city.

"The specific situation is not yet known." Qiao Ruixin said: "But the people from Nanmen came back to report that Qin Xiao had a pass order stamped by Fan Yang. Upon seeing the pass order, the Lieutenant Nanmen opened the door immediately. Our people simply couldn't Block."

The guards of each gate in Hangzhou are still soldiers from the original Changshi Mansion, but the Shence Army also sent several people to supervise each gate, but after all, the number is too small, and the gate guards are too many. The door, the soldiers of Shence could not stop it at all.

Xia Huning's eyes are killing intent, cold

Sound channel: "Fan Yang again."

"It seems that they are really colluding." Qiao Ruixin said.

Xia Huning had not spoken yet, but heard the rapid footsteps, and then saw the two hurried over and knelt to the ground: "Bao, Lord Hou, Hangzhou Ying forced to take over the Hangzhou prison, saying that he was served by Dali Temple. They will guard the prisoners."

Xiahou Ning was frightened and angry, but at the sudden change, she calmed down, her eyes were cold and sharp, and she didn't speak.

"Master Hou, I will lead people over now." Qiao Ruixin was also shocked.

The Hangzhou Prison is a large prison dedicated to imprisoning the Hangzhou family. Five to six hundred people were detained in it, and it was overcrowded. After the residences of the three great families in Hangzhou were copied, they were converted into temporary detention facilities.

The Shence Army sent more than 400 people to guard the Hangzhou Prison, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

But Qin Xiao brought five or six thousand people into the city, and his military strength was only a lot more than that of the Shence Army.

"See Qin Xiao, let him come to see Benhou." Xia Hou Ning was furious, but his face calmed down.

After all, he is a Marquis. Qin Xiao led his troops into the city, and he wanted to come to see him because of reason.

Qiao Ruixin arched his hand without delay, turning around and walking away quickly.

Hangzhou Prison is located in the south of the city, with thick walls. It has always been guarded by the Yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou. Originally, the prison can only accommodate 300 people at most, and 200 of them have already been imprisoned. Prisoner number.

After the Shence Army entered the city, he immediately took over the Hangzhou Prison. After robbing the three major families in Hangzhou, all the original prisoners in the prison were transferred to the temporary prison of the family mansion. After that, the officials and gentry were arrested in Hangzhou, and they were all sent to the prison. Hangzhou Prison.

Qiao Ruixin hadn't arrived at the Hangzhou Prison, and he saw the black and oppressed people in front of him. They were the officers and soldiers of the Shence Army guarding the prison.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the officers and soldiers of the Shence Army turned their heads and saw that Zhong Lang was coming with a group of soldiers and horses. He was suddenly refreshed. A school officer rushed forward and knelt to the ground: "See also General Shiquan. General Zhong Lang." Raised his hand to the prison, and pointed out: "General Zhong Lang, the General Manager in Hangzhou has taken the prison."

Qiao Ruixin turned over and got off his horse, walked forward, kicked Shiquan's body with a strong kick, and kicked Shiquan two somersaults, then picked up his riding whip, and slapped Shiquan with his head and face.

When other officers and soldiers saw this, they all bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"Shiquan, when the Hangzhou Prison was handed over to you, the general said it, but there was negligence and took your head." Qiao Ruixin was furious: "I would have transferred four hundred people to you, and you pretend to be The elites were robbed of the prison by the Hangzhou battalion and spread it out. You shamelessly, the generals still have to face them."

Shi Quan knelt on the ground and said in fear: "General Zhong Lang, they...they have thousands of people, and they also said that they were ordered by Dali Temple, general... Incompetent, I beg Zhong Lang will condemn!"

Qiao Ruixin kicked him away again with a kick, passed through the crowd, and looked up, and saw that the guard at the main entrance of the Hangzhou Prison had been replaced by a person from the Hangzhou Camp, one by one, armed with guns and sabers, surrounding the prison. .

Except for the Dragon Scale Guards, the Shence Army didn't even look at the frontier army, let alone the local state army.

Today, the Hangzhou camp actually seized the Hangzhou prisoners from the Shence Army. For Qiao Ruixin, this was a shame and shame that the Shence Army had never had before. He strode forward and went straight to the main gate of the prison, behind him. The officers and soldiers of the Shence Army did not hesitate, lined up and followed, one by one with murderous aura.
