Chapter 27 Rescue the Emperor

After saving this woman, Yu Wan was still worried. Where should she hide her?

Huanglou Inn!

He immediately thought of where he lived. Not only was he far away from the General's Mansion, but the wound of this woman was close to her chest, so it was more appropriate for Ling Xiangyuyou to deal with it.

Fortunately, he was young and strong, and he was very good at physically. He hugged the assassin and walked back to the inn for half an hour.

After putting her on his bed, Yu Wan immediately walked to Ling Xiang's room and knocked on the door.

"Ling Xiang, open the door."

However, after knocking for a long time, there was no movement.

Did he fall asleep? No! Yu Wan thought about it and kicked the door open, only to find that there was no one inside!

The shopkeeper was attracted by the sound of kicking the door. After lit the candles in the corridor, he found that it was Yu Wan. He immediately said with resentment and miserable expression:

"Oh, you're back! Just now, Mr. Zhai took hundreds of yamen runners to arrest all your friends to prison!"

"What!" Yu Wan said in shock, "Where is the middle-aged man who is seriously ill in bed?"

"They were also carried away together! You told you not to mess with these god-killing people but you just didn't listen. Now, you are all in prison!"

When the shopkeeper remembered the scene just now, he felt very distressed. The two sides fought fiercely and smashed the things in his store to pieces. This time he really suffered a lot of losses.

When Yu Wan heard that other people were arrested, he couldn't help but sweat.

It's really troublesome now. I'm not familiar with the place, so I shouldn't call it the place I don't want to call it the place I don't want to call it the place I don't want to be. The magistrate of Wuchang Prefecture is equivalent to a deputy provincial-level cadre in later generations, a real high-ranking local official.

Although he was the imperial guard general appointed by Chongzhen, he was only a verbal official position, which was no different from that of ordinary people.

"How can I save them?"

Yu Wan frowned and paced back and forth.

"What? Just because you still want to go to the Wuchang Prison to save people?" The shopkeeper smiled coldly. "In this era of chaos, life is as cheap as grass, not to mention that you offended the powerful magistrate of Wuchang Mansion. He dared to speak out for help. Do you think you are a relative of General Zuo Liangyu!"

Zuo Liangyu? Yes! Yu Wan's eyes lit up, and it would be a good idea to find him.

Thinking of this, Yu Wan ran out in three steps and two steps. "Old shopkeeper, thank you for your reminder!"

"Little bastard, don't run away! You kick my door and you'll lose money quickly!"

———

Late at night, General's Mansion

Yu Wan was settled and resolutely stepped forward and shouted to open the door.

"Who are you?"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow robe, with fat ears, thick nose, square lips, and looked very majestic.

Look at this, it is probably the butler of the Zuo Mansion. Yu Wan bowed and said, "I'm in the next name, Yu's name, please inform General Zuo. I'll give him a big gift."

"What kind of gift?"

The butler of the Zuo Mansion looked at him in confusion. After all, there were too many treacherous people who were confused and begging Lord Zuo to do things.

"It's about the fourth son of the emperor. I'm sorry, I can't disclose too much."

"Emperor...the fourth son of the emperor?!"

The housekeeper was shocked and quickly invited Yu Wan in.

After the assassin incident just now, the general's mansion was indeed very strict, and everyone stared at Yu Wan with fierce eyes. If it weren't for the butler's guidance, they would have been devoured by these people.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Yu Wan finally arrived at the place where Zuo Liangyu lived. There were more than a dozen confidants guarding him at the door, closely watching the situation around him.

"Is the master in the room?"

"Just just went to bed, is there anything wrong with the butler?"

The guard leader looked at Yu Wan and asked in confusion.

"I have something urgent to see the master!"

After the butler finished speaking, he ignored the guard's obstruction and walked straight to the door and shouted, "Master, there is news in Henan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly became much brighter, and then the sound of "da da da da" footsteps came. After a while, the door creaked open. Yu Wan saw a middle-aged man wearing a nightgown, a rosy face and a tall figure walking out.

Although this person is thin, his pair of triangular eyes makes him look a little angry and powerful.

What a lord Zuo Liangyu, who holds heavy troops!

After the butler whispered a few words in Zuo Liangyu's ear, the latter glanced at Yu Wan from top to bottom like a sharp knife. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Your Madam Yu, please come in."

———

Zuo Liangyu's room was arranged in a relatively simple manner. Apart from some books, calligraphy and paintings, there were only some daily necessities. The one that attracted Yu Wan's attention the most was the short gun musket under his pillow!

It seems that this guy's vigilance is really not that high.

Moreover, this person has been through the battlefield for a long time and has a relatively straightforward personality. It is advisable to use the method of aggressive generals to surrender him. After thinking about it, Yu Wan soon came up with an idea.

"Mr. Yu, visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

Zuo Liangyu brewed a cup of tea for Yu Wan and said with a kind look.

"My younger generation disturbed me late at night, just for one thing, about the Fourth Prince."

Hearing this sentence, a hint of surprise flashed across Zuo Liangyu's face, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince?"

Yu Wan did pretend to be profound and smiled indifferently, "The safety of the Fourth Prince is related to our Ming Dynasty. People who are not trustworthy cannot tell me."

"What, Mr. Yu thinks I can't believe it?" Zuo Liangyu's face changed and she stood up with her sleeves.

Seeing that he was trapped, Yu Wan laughed and said, "If I don't trust General Zuo, I won't have a long talk with you here in the middle of the night. However, the late Emperor Chongzhen was demoted to the general many times. When Beijing was besieged by Li Zicheng, the general did not go to serve the king. I am afraid..."

"Bang!"

Zuo Liangyu smashed the teacup to pieces, staring at Yu Wan with cold eyes and said, "I have indeed been demoted by the emperor several times, but I have a loyalty to the late Emperor Chongzhen, and the world can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

"Does General Zuo swear to the sky and be loyal to Mr. Chongzhen?"

"Why don't you dare!" Zuo Liangyu knelt on one knee, raised his right hand and shouted to the sky, "The sky is above, I, Zuo Liangyu, will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the royal family all my life. If there is any violation, the sky will be struck by thunder!"

"Very good." Yu Wan nodded with satisfaction and helped Zuo Liangyu up.

"Actually, I don't know where the fourth son of the emperor is."

"What did you say!" Zuo Liangyu was furious, and pulled out the sharp blade in his arms, pressed against Yu Wan's neck, and said angrily, "No one dared to tease me like this!"

"Great General, please wait. It's not too late to get angry after hearing me." Yu Wan was really afraid that he would accidentally stroke it, so he explained it here. "Although I don't know the whereabouts of the fourth son, I know the whereabouts of Emperor Chongzhen!"

"What! The late emperor? Wasn't he murdered by Li Zicheng in Baoding?"

Zuo Liangyu's face was filled with shock and disbelief. If this kid said it was true, it would be a big profit!

Chongzhen was the last orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His authority and appeal were not comparable to those of Emperor Hongguang today. Once Zhu Youjian was held in his hand, it would really be a wielding emperor to command the princes!

His mood fluctuations were all seen in Yu Wan's eyes. After a while, Yu Wan continued, "This is just a lie and trick to disrupt our army and swallow my country. The Lord Long Sui escaped, but also was in Wuchang Mansion!"

"Just... it's right in Wuchang Mansion?" Zuo Liangyu was so shocked that she couldn't stop talking. It was really easy to get it. "Where is the emperor? I should go to pick him up in person!"

"I'm afraid General Zuo will have to go to Wuchang Prison to pick him up."

As he said that, Yu Wan told me that Chongzhen and others were arrested by Wuchang Tongshou Zhai Yongjun. Zuo Liangyu was shocked at first, and then a hint of undetectable excitement appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Madam Yu, you go to the prison with me to rescue the emperor. I want to see how many heads Judge Zhai Tong has grown!"
