When Zhao Langjiang walked out of the crowd, his whole body was covered in blood. Except for the shadow in the leader, the rest of the people had already thrown into the arms of the god of death. He put the rolled-blade sheep knife across the shadow's neck and said coldly: "Second brother of the Western Chu Emperor, is this Chu Zhongtian?"

The shadow spoke silently.

In the Great Chu State, as a shadow, his fate has long been destined.

Only fight to the death, no betrayal. Fight to the death, you will receive supreme honor; betrayal, the whole family will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Zhao Langjiang asked again: "Why do you want to kill him?"

The shadow remains silent.

Su Zhengyuan carefully reminded next to him, "Brother Zhao, this person is dead."

Zhao Langjiang found that the shadow had wide eyes but no breathing. It must be that the person's mouth contained a very poison. He rubbed his eyes and said, "I don't have a good look." He threw the long sword on the ground and came to Chu Zhongtian. Boss Chu was already scared and trembling.

"Your surname is Chu?"

“Yes…yes!”

"You are the second brother of the Emperor Xi Chu, the second prince of the previous emperor?"

Boss Chu's head was like a rattle, "Boss Zhao misunderstood. I was born and raised in Yangzhou, a native of a fake Yangzhou. I used to be a gangster who sold fake medicine. I committed a crime ten years ago and went to Hulushan to become a bandit, and made a living by fighting the family and robbing the house. If I hadn't been framed by the bastard named Xiao, I would have been happy in Hulushan!"

When Zhao Langjiang saw that his expression was not fake, and he spoke with a Yangzhou accent. No matter how long an adult was in a foreign land, it would be difficult for him to lose his childhood accent.

The fire has been extinguished, and Su Zhengyuan leads his subordinates to clear the battlefield.

In this battle, seven prisoners in Suzhou were killed, thirteen prisoners died, and twenty-six people in the Western Chu shadow killed by Zhao Langjiang. Originally, he had to bear a lot of responsibility for the robbery in Suzhou City, but this time he left twenty-six lives in the Western Chu State, and it was also an elite in the other party's army. If the memorial was properly spoken, it would be a chance to make meritorious service.

Zhao Langjiang said, "I'm leaving, what else do you have here?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "Xia Zhao, no, Brother Zhao, you didn't make any trouble. You can come in thanks to your brother Xiao Jinyan's help."

Zhao Langjiang said that Xiao Jinyan was too unreliable for doing things, but since the second prince of Xi Chu had someone else, it was no point to stay here, and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, should you leave?"

Su Zhengyuan nodded quickly and walked up to let go of the shackles of Fan Wuchang, who was stunned and stunned, and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Fan, I have to ask you to take care of you in Suzhou in the future!" Fan Wuchang thought, just a few days ago, why has this guy changed his temperament and become so easy to speak? He didn't know that Xiao Jinyan had already greeted Su Zhengyuan in advance.

After Zhao Langjiang and Fan Wuchang left, Su Zhengyuan stood there, thought for a long time, took a single sword, made his clothes messy, and gritted his teeth and cut his shoulder, and then ordered, "Listen, brothers, the Western Chu spy sneaked into my six gate prison tonight, but the entire army was wiped out. Whose credit is this?"

A subordinate said: "It is Zhao Langjiang and Zhao's credit!"

Su Zhengyuan ordered his side, "Take this eye-opener to Gala Village and get a call! I'll ask again, whose credit is this?"

Another person said: "The unparalleled plan of Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Hero!"

Su Zhengyuan patted his head, "You go and be with him, too."

Seeing this, a clever subordinate took the lead and shouted, "Tonight, the bandits of the Western Chu attacked the prison. Lord Su led the way and led us to fight to the end, killing twenty-six bandits, and were seriously injured. Our subordinates were not good at doing things, but there was no coward, right?"

Everyone said with a bang: "That's right!"

Su Zhengyuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. You should write a memorandum overnight. I'll go to Lord Zhao to report."

The man said, "Sir, my subordinates are illiterate!"

Su Zhengyuan said annoyedly, "Then you are the leader and fight to the end, and you are a bunch of words."

The man scratched his head, "I heard from Mr. Storyteller talk about Guan Erye. I saw that tonight it was like Guan Erye, like a god descending to earth. The second master reborn, beat the bandits of Western Chu to the point of urination and swelling thousands of miles before he said this heartfelt words."

"No matter how well you say it, you can't write it, it's useless!"

Su Zhengyuan returned to the yamen office and held it in for a long time before he could barely write a memorial, thinking that he had to find a master.

He prepared another 30,000 taels of silver and ran to Zhao Jinlian's mansion overnight to ask for military achievements.

When Zhao Jinlian heard the news, he was shocked. A spy from Western Chu appeared under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Prefecture, which asked him, the chief official who guarded the maid side, to deal with it. However, he had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time and had already learned to talk to people, talk to ghosts, and tell bad things to good things. He called his master and wrote a secret report, changing the killing of twenty-six enemies into killing hundreds of enemies.

Su Zhengyuan said suspiciously, "Sir, there are only more than twenty spies from Western Chu."

Zhao Jinlian sneered, "Are there more than 300 people still locked in the Six Gate Prison?"

Su Zhengyuan took a breath. The governor seemed to be kind-hearted. If he really encountered something, he would be more vicious than a scorpion. Although he was greedy for money and lustful, if he really killed innocent people, he did not have the courage and hesitated: "This..."

Zhao Jinlian looked at him coldly, "Why, I don't even have this courage and want to be the magistrate of Suzhou? If you don't do this, you, Su Zhengyuan, will be more than the one who follows you."

Su Zhengyuan was caught in a choice.

He was originally a young constable in Liangzhou Prefecture. He spent money to donate the six gates of Suzhou by cheating. After coming to Suzhou City, he dug three feet of the ground and made a lot of money, but he did not do any serious evil. Tonight, he wanted to seek merit under his name and confirm the verdict that Zhao Jinlian had already promised him, but he did not expect that the governor would take away seventy or eighty lives as soon as he opened his mouth. Although these people were extremely vicious, they were not sure to die.

"what do I do?"

Su Zhengyuan was in a fierce struggle. If he obeyed the orders and pulled dozens of people out of the prison to make up the numbers, he would make a great contribution and be at his fingertips. However, he was tortured in his conscience from then on. If he refused Zhao Jinlian, let alone Suzhou's magistrate, he might not be able to save his position as the chief of the Six Gate.

Zhao Jinlian is a second-rank official and has ten thousand ways to kill himself.

After thinking for a long time, Su Zhengyuan's inner conscience finally defeated the desire for promotion and wealth. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhao, this subordinate is not obedient."

Zhao Jinlian was furious in his chest, but his face was as deep as water, "Why?"

Su Zhengyuan said: "A subordinate has been an official for seven or eight years. Although he is greedy for money and lustful, he has his own bottom line in his life and doing things. Although the prisoners in the Six Gate Prisons have committed great crimes, they will not die. If subordinates kill and seek merit for their own fame, they will... they are really not able to do it."

By the time he spoke the last few words, his voice was already trembling.

He knew what consequences he would face after he said this, but he still chose this answer.

Zhao Jinlian said three words "good" in a row, "I read you right, you can step down."

Su Zhengyuan walked out of the governor's office and was covered in cold sweat.

Zhao Jinlian threw a teacup on the ground, "Damn it! Bastard!"

He sat on the chair of the Grand Master, his chest was fluctuating. Tonight, the Western Chu sent spies to attack the Six Gate Prison. Not to mention the purpose, the nature of this matter alone was enough to cause shock to the court. The Ming Dynasty, the borders of the two countries were in peace for twenty years, but the border frictions never stopped. However, this time, the Western Chu spies opened their way into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which was no different from declaring war on the Ming Dynasty.

The peaceful days between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Chu Dynasty were probably coming to an end.

His own position, Li Yanfang, Minister of War, is about to retire, and Zhao Jinlian takes over the six divisions and takes everything in his place, and only owes one credit. If the matter of Suzhou prison is properly operated, it is very likely that he will make himself successful and go further. He felt that Su Zhengyuan was capable and could do things. He thought he would take the opportunity to support him, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, he retreated.

The master came over carefully, "Sir, the memorial has been written. Do you think of the number of enemies killed?"

"Whatever you look at, just write it truthfully."

...

As soon as Zhao Langjiang and Fan Wuchang turned two streets, they saw Yang Xiaoxiao in green clothes, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Fan Wuchang said strangely, "Isn't this the Yang family of Tianxianglou? Now Suzhou City is not peaceful, and there are often color demons appearing in the middle of the night. Why don't I send you home?"

Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and looked charming, making Fan Wuchang's heart melt.

"I'm waiting for Daxia Zhao here to discuss important matters. I wonder if Mr. Fan can give me some face?"

Fan Wuchang said he wanted to get it, and he looked at Zhao Langjiang with great interest and said, "Don't come back too late."

After Fan Wuchang left, Yang Xiaoxiao came to Zhao Langjiang slowly. Zhao Langjiang was covered in blood. She couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said, "Xia Zhao, I'll give you a big gift. How do you repay me?"

Zhao Langjiang laughed and was about to hold her in his arms. Yang Xiaoxiao jumped backwards, "I have something to do with you!"

Zhao Langjiang asked, "I just feel strange. You are also from Xichu, so how could you send your compatriots to the Liushemen prison to die?"

Yang Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, "Don't look at me with such suspicious eyes, okay, I'll confess, yes, I'm from Xichu, but I'm from the Baihua Palace of the Jade Girl Sect. They are the prince Xiang. It's also something I like to get rid of them with your hands."

Zhao Langjiang was not surprised when he heard this. There was no harmony within the Western Chu. He was fighting in many parties. He also heard about it when he was guarding the border in the western border a few years ago. He grinned, "Since that's the case, I should have given you a big gift. How do you thank me?"

Yang Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and said, "You are obviously arguing!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "I have observed the astronomical phenomena every day. The solar activity has been quite strong recently. I can't reason about this period."

Yang Xiaoxiao felt curious and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Langjiang said: "There are too many dark spots in Fangcaotian."
