Peerless Pirates

The reason why Song Zheng and Mu Yu did not kill Jiang Huan in Hangzhou was naturally because Hangzhou was the other side's lair, and Song Zheng had only Mu Yu around him, so they had to be on guard against the other side's sudden death. Read the full article.

Song Zheng knew everything about what Huang Song and Lu Junqing did in Songjiazhuang. There was no need to interrogate Jiang Huan about it. The purpose of escorting Jiang Huan back to Jiangning alive was not to use Jiang Huan's mouth to reveal everything that happened back then.

. Instead, we hope that Huang Yuandu and Huang Song will fully intervene in this matter to widen the rift between Pang Ying and the Huang family and cut off more of the Huang family's wings.

Song Zheng also understood the little emperor's feelings through long-term contact with him. The little emperor had quite complicated feelings about the Huang family. Huang Yuandu monopolized the power, which made the little emperor who wanted to take power quite dissatisfied. However, he had a relationship with the Huang family.

The relationship is very close. The biological mother is Huang Yuandu's daughter, and the Huang family is also one of the important pillars in supporting her to the throne.

In this complicated relationship, the young emperor had a hard time making a choice. He hoped to win over the Huang family and seize power. Appointing Song Zheng as the Right Chief Supervisor was one of the signs of wanting power.

However, no one is willing to let go of the power they have obtained. At present, although Song Zheng has become the Right Chief Supervisor, he is still far from establishing the prestige of the Criminal Department. Even with Muyu as his assistant, it is still the same.

.What's more, Mu Yu wears the hat of a double agent and must not go too far if he wants to continue to gain the trust of Huang Song and Lu Junqing.

Dark Eagle was created by Lu Junqing and Huang Yuandu, and it was so closely united that Song Zheng could not get involved except for Mu Yu and Yuan Rong who might win over him. Whether it was Lu Junqing, Shao Zhijie, or Wang Zhui, they were all trying to stop Song Zheng, both covertly and covertly.

Zheng made it difficult for him to move forward.

In this case, a surprise attack was needed to maximize Jiang Huan's value. This would not only deepen the young emperor's suspicion of the Huang family, but also facilitate Song Zheng's seizure of power. Therefore, Jiang Huan could not simply kill him.

Jiang Huan must die, but the method of death must be particular.

Mu Yu once asked whether Huang Yuandu would directly enter the palace and tell the whole story to the little emperor. Song Zheng thought about it again and again, but shook his head. Because doing so would be tantamount to forcing the little emperor to stay in Song Zheng's cabinet full of money.

Choose between others and the Huang family. Although Song Zheng and others are not on the same level as the Huang family, there are not many people around the little emperor. If Song Zheng and others are abandoned, the little emperor will break his own arms. The little emperor will definitely not

Dry.

For Huang Yuandu, it is not the best policy. Unless absolutely necessary, Huang Yuandu will not bear the responsibility of killing his own princess, although this is the need for "confidentiality". This is one, and the other is that Huang Yuandu's move is coercive.

If you don't like it, you will let him

The relationship with the little emperor became bad. Of course, there was a third one, that is, Huang Yuandu and Huang Jiao, who kept telling the little emperor that Princess Pang Rui had died in the palace fire that year. Now that Huang Yuandu changed his story, it will undoubtedly make the little emperor more resentful.

.

The reason why the palace coup of that year is still shrouded in mystery is because the participants swore to death to keep it secret, and even the young emperor who was supported by them had to hide it. Revealing the incident of Pang Rui will inevitably involve the whole palace coup. This

This is what Huang Yuandu doesn't want to see.

For Song Zheng, he had no intention of telling the whole story about the Song Family Village to the young emperor. Doing so would plunge him into a life-and-death whirlpool. Before he had accumulated enough strength, Song Zheng had no intention of confronting the Huang family.

Involving such a complicated matter, there must be a certain degree of use of Jiang Huan. Song Zheng was also sure that Jiang Huan knew that Huang Song and Lu Junqing were killing people in Songjiazhuang, but they did not know why. Huang Song and Lu Junqing would never do it.

Tell him that the person he killed was that year

The palace manager and eunuch and the princess Pang Rui. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Huan has been able to survive to this day. Otherwise, given the people Huang Song and Lu Junqing were, they would have killed Jiang Huan as well. Just like when King Lu buried the secret treasure

After the treasure, three hundred loyal soldiers must be poisoned and killed.

Song Zheng and Mu Yu secretly discussed how to deal with Jiang Huan many times on the road. Finally, they made up their mind to bring Jiang Huan alive to Jiangning, killing two birds with one stone.

That night, the carriage arrived at Chongde. In front of a medium-sized inn, Mu Yu asked the pockmarked coachman to drive away. Song Zheng helped Jiang Huan, who had been drugged, into the inn, while Mu Yu found another carriage.

Then they were led to another tavern. After changing the guide three times, the two of them settled down at a small inn.

Early the next morning, the two of them suddenly turned south to Haiyan. Haiyan is a port with cargo ships that can bypass the Yangtze River Estuary by sea and reach Jiangning. In the evening, after the two arrived in Haiyan, they contacted the cargo ship and arrived in Huayan.

After earning a lot of money, we finally sailed towards the vast sea early on the third day.

The caution of the two men was not unreasonable and they set sail for the Ming Dynasty. While the Prime Minister's Office sent Fang Qi and other two groups of troops, Shao Zhijie also followed Huang Yuandu's order and mobilized the Yousi secret soldiers from the entire Liangzhe Road to search for traces of Song Zheng.

Although Yousi Secret Service is widely spread, the transportation in this area is really developed. There are many land roads, and there are also river networks such as the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to carry people and goods. By the time Fang Qi finally verified the news and rushed to Haiyan, it was already two days later.

At this time, the ships of Song Zheng and others had arrived in Jiangyin.

Throughout the whole process, Muyu deliberately left some clues, such as secretly entrusting a pockmarked coachman to deliver news to Hangzhou, deliberately loudly shouting his whereabouts when hiring a coach, leaving a mark before boarding the ship, etc. This was done for the future.

To deal with the cross-examination by Lu Junqing or Huang Song. In fact, the time difference has already formed, and Song Zheng and Mu Yu are sure that the other party will definitely not be able to catch up.

A day and a half later, the cargo ship arrived at the dock of Huitong Trading House. After Song Zheng and Mu Yu took Jiang Huan ashore, they did not disturb Lu Chun and Xiaobei, but came to the Huangyue Manor not far away. Shi Cunbao and Gu Zhengjie were both here.

, immediately followed Song Zheng's instructions and imprisoned Jiang Huan. After arriving here, Song Zheng and Mu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short rest, Song Zheng, Gu Zhengjie, and Shi Cunbao exchanged secret words, and then headed to Jiangning City with Mu Yu. Song Zheng was going to the palace city to report to the young emperor. Mu Yu used the excuse of being responsible for arranging the manpower of the Criminal Department.

Go and notify Shao Zhijie, Huang Song and others.

The person who greeted Song Zheng was Qian Mancai. Since there were other eunuchs following him, Qian Mancai didn't dare to speak, but just winked at Song Zheng. Song Zheng secretly made a reassuring gesture, and Qian Mancai's face immediately filled with joy.

meaning.

After entering Xizhai, Song Zheng paid tribute to the young emperor and narrated the whole process.

"Master Song has worked hard." The little emperor sighed, "If we had taken one step later, I'm afraid Jiang Huan would have fallen into the hands of the Prime Minister."

"It was quite thrilling. The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were more than an hour ahead of us. I was shocked when I discovered their traces. Fortunately, I arrived in Hangzhou before them. I used many tricks to get rid of them and left.

We came to Jiangning by waterway."

"Well, Master Song is out and has captured him. I will immediately arrange for someone to interrogate Jiang Huan."

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Of course there will be a trial. However, there is no rush."

The little emperor was surprised and asked, "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, please imagine that with Jiang Huan in our hands, who is the most anxious?"

"Of course it's Huang Song and Lu Junqing, or the prime minister."

"Then what will they do?"

"Of course we should try to rescue or simply kill Jiang Huan."

Song Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very smart and his guess will be right. If Uncle Er Guo wants to take action, he must use his closest people. How can we let go of this perfect opportunity?"

The little emperor's eyes lit up, "Yes, it's just a good opportunity to see how much energy he has! But, is there any problem with Master Song in terms of manpower?"

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I forgot that it is close to the trading terminal and we can borrow some manpower from the escort agency. I have already summoned Lu Chun and asked him to send fifty good men to the manor."

"Haha, Master Song has a plan, so I can rest assured."

After a short pause, Song Zheng said, "I have another suggestion for your Majesty to consider. That is to be limited to three days. During these three days, no matter what method Huang Song uses, we will resolutely fight back. And three days later,

Regardless of the outcome of Jiang Huan’s interrogation, Jiang Huan and his confession must be handed over to the Prime Minister’s Office.”

The cupboard full of money couldn't help but hurriedly interjected, "It was so hard to catch him, why did he let him go?"

"Little noble son!" The dissatisfied voice of the little emperor came from above. The money cabinet quickly bowed and took a step back.

"Master Song, tell me your reasons."

"Which one had a greater impact on You Si, Jiang Huan's death in our hands or his death in the hands of Uncle Er Guo?"

The little emperor thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said, "Master Song is really smart. If Jiang Huan dies in your hands, it will only be a shock, but it will also increase the confrontation between the generals and the criminal department. If he dies in Huang Song's hands, then

The whole Youshi has become disloyal."

Qian Mancai suddenly realized that even if Jiang Huan fell into Huang Song's hands, he would definitely die. However, another thing came to his mind: Will Jiang Huan reveal what happened back then in these three days? He looked at Song Zheng,

He looked at the little emperor again and didn't dare to interrupt again.

After chatting for a few more words, when Song Zheng learned that the young emperor sent Han Kui to meet him, he couldn't help but be deeply moved. He thanked the saint repeatedly. Finally, the young emperor sent Shui Ding to assist Song Zheng.

After Song Zheng and Shuiding came out of the palace city, they rushed to the manor in the west of the city. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the manor, they saw two groups of people confronting each other there. On one side were Gu Zhengjie, Shi Cunbao and fifty bodyguards, and on the other side was Shao Zhijie.

Mu Yu and more than a dozen secret soldiers of the Right Division. The two sides were at war with each other.

"Gu Zhengjie, we are from Yousi. You have seen the badge, so please get out of the way quickly, otherwise, you will be charged with treason." Shao Zhijie shouted coldly, but his eyes were full of anxiety. This

This time I came in a hurry and only brought a dozen or so men. I thought I would be able to capture them, but I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly show up with fifty more men.

Regarding this, Shao Zhijie secretly asked Mu Yu. Mu Yu also pretended to be at a loss, as if he didn't know anything. Indeed, without these fifty bodyguards, there really wouldn't be many manpower in the manor.

If that was the case, Shao Zhijie still wanted to take down Gu Zhengjie with his outstanding skills. However, Mu Yu told him that Gu Zhengjie's father was the famous border general Gu Polu, which made Shao Zhijie immediately more scrupulous. These tough generals

If he got angry, not even Huang Yuandu would dare to provoke him easily, let alone him, the deputy commander of the Right Division.

At this time, even if Shao Zhijie was as wise as the gods, it would be difficult for him to come up with a good plan. He was unwilling to retreat and had no choice but to waste his time here.

At this time, Song Zheng arrived. He reined in his horse and shouted loudly, "What's going on? One of our own is beating our own?"
