Good morning Daming

Chapter 1001 A moth flies into the flame
"Jiang Qingzhi was well prepared."

Luo Wendi forced a smile and said, "Fortunately, we didn't take action. But even if he came, he wouldn't be able to do anything to us..."

Several powerful men felt a little regretful, and no one noticed the sadness behind Luo Wending's smile.

"Please take your seats, I'll be back soon."

Luo Wending bowed and went to the backyard.

After passing the dining room, Luo Wending quickened his pace. He hurried to his study, pushed down the bookcase, and found a different world behind it.

I pushed open a door and found a small room filled with wooden boxes.

Luo Wending opened several wooden boxes, which contained either money or various precious items.

You can even see a lot of women's jewelry... If you look closely, you can see dark blood stains on some of the jewelry.

Luo Wending took a few silver ingots, thought about it and took a few gold jewellery. He hurried out of the study and went to the back door.

When he reached the backyard, a servant was looking for him and asked, "Master, what do you want for lunch?"

"Eat..." Luo Wending didn't have the heart to think about this, so he just said casually, "Eat meat, mutton!"

He went to the back door and listened to the noise outside. He found nothing unusual and couldn't help laughing. "Jiang Qingzhi, Jiang Qingzhi, you didn't expect that all this was done by me, Luo Wendi! By the time you tortured me into confessing, I would have already fled far away. The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we'll see you next time..."

He opened the back door and walked out.

Then, his whole body stiffened.

On both sides, two long swords were placed on his shoulders.

"Luo Wending!"

"It's a villain."

"That's right!"

The long sword turned, and the back of the sword hit Luo Wending's back heavily.

"Spare your life!"

With a shrill sound, the Luo family's front door was pushed open.

Teams of soldiers rushed in, and the servants who were about to disperse were stunned when they saw this.

"Abandon the knife and kneel down to avoid killing!"

Amid the shouts, the sounds of swords being thrown away and people kneeling could be heard.

What was the need to clean up the mess, what was the ability to turn the tide, now all became a joke in front of those officers and soldiers in bright armor and full of murderous intent.

Several powerful men were stunned. One of them asked, "Did we make a mistake? We are here..."

"Kneel down!" a sergeant shouted.

Behind him, rows of soldiers came forward with muskets in hand.

"Three breaths!"

The deputy centurion raised his hand, "One, two..."

Several powerful men knelt down without hesitation.

"We are here to clean up the mess... Ao!"

The man was then hit by the butt of a gun.

"Search!"

At the same time that the Luo family was under control, a team of infantrymen arrived outside the north gate of Huating, also known as Tongbo Gate.

Five hundred people!
They stood in neat rows under the city.

On the top of the city wall, Hu Wei looked calm and asked, "Ask where they came from?"

"Captain." The sergeant who searched the convoy in the morning came up, his face grim, "The battle in the city is over."

"How?" Hu Wei asked, and then his face turned grim.

If the Japanese pirates had won, the city would surely be in chaos by now.

But at this moment, Huating City was as quiet as an empty city with no one in it.

Hu Wei, who had been imagining various endings, slowly turned around.

On the long street, a group of cavalry were galloping.

Colluding with Japanese pirates and letting them go secretly...

Hu Wei stamped his feet and said, "Luo Wending has delayed me. Let's go!"

Hu Wei held the hilt of the knife and hurried down the city wall with his soldiers.

After going out, he smiled and bowed, "You are..."

The formation was solemn and motionless. The officers and soldiers held their flintlock rifles with cold eyes.

This guy is a tough soldier!
It must be Jiang Qingzhi’s Tiger Guard Left Guard!
Luo Wending, that idiot, really thought that Jiang Qingzhi knew nothing and would be able to be ambushed by him.

But the battle in the city lasted less than a quarter of an hour from start to finish.

In other words, the entire process from the Japanese pirates launching the attack to being surrounded and captured took less than a quarter of an hour.

This is almost a collapse.

Aren’t the Japanese pirates extremely ferocious and invincible when they are hundreds strong?
This confusion flashed through Hu Wei's mind.

The deputy commander in chief asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Captain Hu Wei." Hu Wei bowed and said, "May I ask who your army is..."

"Hu Wei?" The deputy captain turned around and asked in a low voice. Hu Wei's eyes narrowed and he thought, could it be that the news was leaked? These people knew that I was an insider?

He said subconsciously: "I have to go somewhere else to report the news, so I'll say goodbye now."

The deputy captain turned around and said, "Go!"

Fortunately, his identity was not revealed... Hu Wei was overjoyed. After getting on the horse, he did not dare to gallop, but walked slowly. The sergeant followed him, one in front and one behind, walking slowly on the left side of the formation.

The cavalry on the long street rushed out and shouted, "Where is Hu Wei?"

After Luo Wending was captured alive, he confessed what had happened after just a beating.

Hu Wei is the insider!
Hu Wei squeezed the horse's belly and said, "Go!"

The deputy captain turned around, his eyes grim, "Where are you going? Raise your guns, shoot the horses!"

A group of soldiers turned around and raised their flintlock rifles.

"volley!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The warhorse screamed after being shot. Hu Wei on the horse tried hard to control the horse, but the horse jumped a little and then slowly fell down.

Hu Wei stood up and turned around.

A group of soldiers came with guns, fixing bayonets on their muskets as they walked.

The sharp edge of the bayonet flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Hu Wei knelt down subconsciously, "It was Luo Wending. It was Luo Wending who asked me to do it."

The deputy commander said contemptuously, "Soft egg."

The captain leading the cavalry came over and said with a smile: "We thought it would be a tough battle, but we didn't expect the Japanese pirates to be weaker than the last time we were in Taizhou Prefecture." The deputy captain shook his head, "It's not that they are weak, but that we are stronger."

The captain asked, "Has the official road been blocked over there?"

The deputy captain nodded and asked, "I haven't seen anyone escape."

"Someone is waiting outside the city." The captain saluted, "I will go there now."

"Okay!" The deputy captain nodded and continued to block the city gate with his subordinates.

"Today, you are allowed to enter but not leave!" a soldier shouted.

Inside the city gate, those who wanted to leave the city looked miserable.

"Want to run away?" The deputy captain sneered, "I don't know how long these idiots have been planning this. Today is a good day to close the net. I just don't know what's going on with the commander."

Zhu Yi is on the run.

He waited for half an hour and when he saw no fireworks rising from the city, he knew something was wrong.

There were too many people in Matsugi Yoshiko's group, and too many people would make it easy to be discovered, so they had to act as soon as possible after entering the city.

If you don't take action within half an hour, it means that the task is impossible or you have failed.

Zhu Yi rode his horse at a fast speed, looking back from time to time at the Huating City which was getting farther and farther away.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Jiang thief, next time I come back, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Yilulu!
The horse suddenly neighed and then slowed down.

Zhu Yi turned back suddenly.

In front.

A team of soldiers stood on the official road.

Musket raised.

Slowly aimed at him.

"dismount!"

The flag officer raised his hand, "Otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

Zhu Yi was stunned.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the whole process flashed through his mind like flowing water...

"This is a trap. The so-called Oiran Contest is a lamp, and we are the moths that Jiang Qingzhi has been waiting for for a long time!"

He looked up at the blue sky, tears welling up in his eyes from the stinging sunlight.

"Collaborating with the Japanese is a capital crime. I, Zhu Yi... I, Zhu Yi, refuse to accept this!"

Zhu Yi took out his short knife, raised it and shouted, "I don't accept it! Why should I stay in Huating? Why can't I make decisions in the government? I don't accept it!"

He stabbed the horse's back with his backhand. The horse felt pain, but did not gallop away. Instead, it stood up suddenly.

Pfft!
Zhu Yi was brought down.

The flag officer was stunned. "Damn it! I thought I met a good man and wanted to give you a decent death. Who would have thought you were such a coward?"

Several soldiers came up and beat him up. Zhu Yi howled miserably, "I am Zhu Yi, I am Zhu Yi..."

"We actually caught a big fish?" The flag officer was overjoyed. "Send someone to report that we caught the escaped Zhu Yi."

One of the main culprits in the arson case!

Caught!

Jiang Qingzhi is questioning at this moment.

The Oiran Contest is in full swing.

There was singing and dancing on the stage, and offstage, Luo Wending was brought in. The powerful men looked at the disheveled Luo Wending with complicated expressions in silence.

The singing and dancing have lost their appeal, and no one uses the votes bought with money.

"I have been in contact with the Japanese pirates and have been selling stolen goods for them..."

Luo Wending was trembling and even grinning at Jiang Qingzhi.

"It's so ugly!" some people sighed, some felt sympathy for their own kind.

"I... I once led the Japanese pirates and... I once ordered my family to follow the Japanese pirates to loot the place." Luo Wending didn't want to say it, but Sun Chonglou, who was standing next to him with a knife in his hand, grinned at his neck, so he dared not not say it.

Jiang Qingzhi asked, "Fellow villagers, aren't you afraid of having nightmares?"

Luo Wendi knew that he was doomed to die, but if he confessed now, he would suffer less. He said, "What does the life and death of those people have to do with me? As long as I can get money, I am willing to do anything."

"Is this the local tyrant?" Chen Zheng sighed.

Zhang Tong said, "They say that Confucianism is full of gentlemen! Shitou, where do you think these gentlemen have gone?"

Sun Chonglou thought for a moment and said, "There is no such thing as a gentleman. Most of them are hypocrites!"

"Then what should we do if someone says we are gentlemen in the future?"

"The young master said that a person will flaunt something the more he lacks it."

"Oh! Those who claim to be gentlemen are mostly villains?"

"That's right. A true gentleman doesn't need to advertise himself. His words and actions are consistent, and people take him for granted."

"Oh! So there are no gentlemen?" Zhang Tong felt a little disappointed.

The conversation between the two innocent people made those powerful people and scholars who usually like to flaunt themselves as gentlemen look embarrassed.

Jiang Qingzhi turned his eyes and looked at Song Mu Liangzi, "Song Mu Liangzi?"

"Yes." Matsuki Yoshiko knelt three steps away from Jiang Qingzhi, and Sun Bu Tong stood behind her with a knife in his hand.

"I heard that you were originally a noblewoman from Japan, and your fiancé died at my hands, so you led the Japanese pirates to wreak havoc in the southeast of Ming Dynasty, hoping to seek revenge from me?"

Jiang Qingzhi was very curious that in this era, Japan could produce such a remarkable woman.

Matsuki Ryoko said calmly: "No."

"Why is that?"

"I just want the family inheritance."

Jiang Qingzhi was a little disappointed and took a puff of medicinal cigarette.

"Do you know why Ben Bo wanted to keep him alive?"

Matsuki Ryoko shook her head, "I don't know."

The expedition to Japan requires guides. Many of the captured Japanese pirates are willing to cooperate, but they are of humble origins and do not know as much as noble ladies like Matsugi Yoshiko.

"Then, what's the point of keeping you?" Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his right hand. The medicine smoke burned at his fingertips and the smoke lingered.

Behind him, Sun Bu Tong slowly drew his sword...

Matsugi Yoshiko looked at Jiang Qingzhi and suddenly lay down.

Express your submission by prostrating yourself.

"I am willing to be your slave!"
