Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 274
He didn't even finish a cup of tea, but Yang Lu did not expect to call.This was beyond Zhu Su's expectation, before the mere dozen or so sticks began to ooze blood, this guy who just swore he would never give in was counseled.

I thought it was at least to the point of smashing the ass.

"Since you are willing to recruit, let's talk about it." Zhu Su put down the teacup. "That guy Ma Fengsun, how do you want to cooperate with them internally and externally?"

Yang Lu had already been framed up in a panic, but when he heard that his knees softened, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Highness already knew about it? If the last general tells me, can Your Highness save my life..."

"Things like dogs, if you want to talk about it, you can talk about it, there are so many words." The tyrannical Zhu Xi directly threw a teacup at Yang Lu. "The gangster still wants to intercede? The king and the fourth and fifth are all in this city, but you dare to gang up with the gangster?"

"If the city is broken, what will I do with my three brothers? I think you not only want to collude with bandits, but you also want to assassinate the king!"

The teacup exploded in front of Yang Lu, and the fragments scratched his face.Yang Lu was a little aggrieved: "The last general...the last general didn't collude with the bandits either,"

"Isn't the last general just packing up his things and preparing to escape..."

"Let's not talk about it first, you should invite it as it is." Zhu Su pulled out the folding fan from his waist. "How can you cooperate with those thieves?"

So Yang Lu didn't dare to say more, like an eggplant beaten by frost, he told him all the letters that Ma Fengsun had given him.

"Tomorrow night, do you want you to open the water gate in the south of the city and let them in..." Zhu Su tapped the folding fan lightly.Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were also thoughtful.Zhu Di said: "I want to seize the city tomorrow. It seems that these thieves are still in a hurry. The slow setting up of the village before and the siege of the city today are indeed just acting. They just want to draw our attention to the east of the city..."

"Then he can sneak into the city from the south of the city again... Speaking of the Ma, how can you be sure that you will listen to them?" Zhu Xi turned and asked Yang Lu.

"After all, you are also a relative of the emperor, so you are willing to sacrifice your life for the bandit?"

"This..." Yang Lu hesitated, unwilling to tell his story.Zhu Su sneered: "What else could it be? It's nothing more than selling vacancies in the army, colluding with that horse Fengsun, selling private salt, and privately selling military armor."

"Ah?" Yang Lu's whole body went limp, and he slumped on the ground: "Your Highness Fifth, you... how do you know..."

Zhu Su smiled inscrutablely.Selling vacancies in the army, this is the news that Jin Yiwei found out.The old Suzhou Wei elite were transferred to the south, so there was a lot of vacancies left. In the early Ming Dynasty, military households were regarded as iron rice bowls that guaranteed income from droughts and floods, as well as land farming.As a result, many people without land and property were overwhelmed and wanted to get the status of military households for themselves.

It just so happened that the newly appointed Yang Lu needed to recruit soldiers to make up for the vacancies that were transferred, so he took advantage of the opportunity to start a business of reselling the vacancies.In fact, all the generals in David's office were doing this. It was nothing more than the amount of reselling, which was not enough to make Yang Lu guilty.The most important thing is actually the latter two crimes.

The enforcement of the ban in the early Ming Dynasty was still very strict. Reselling heavy weapons and armor was undoubtedly a capital crime.Where did Ma Fengsun get those armors on New Year's Eve?There are even two sets of infantry armor that can be called the king of heavy armor.If it is said that such a heavy weapon did not come from Suzhou Wei, no dog would believe it.

Zhu Su had suspected this for a long time, and sure enough, if he cheated him now, he would reveal his true colors.

"The commander of the dignified guard is such a softie?" Zhu Di couldn't believe it when he looked at Yang Lu, who was sitting slumped on the ground, with wet spots dripping from his body.He has been fascinated by the military since he was a child, and the soldiers he comes into contact with on a daily basis are either resolute and brave generals like Li Wenzhong and Chang Yuchun, or firm-minded people like Xu Da and Mu Ying.In his heart, the generals of Ming Dynasty are tough guys with iron bones, how can he see such soft bones like Yang Lu?

"If he wasn't a softie, he wouldn't have been squatting in the city and trying to shirk his way out of the city because of a setback in a bandit suppression campaign." Zhu Su sneered. "If it wasn't for worrying about the wavering of the army's morale, he would have taken his military power long ago."

"Then why did you attack him again at this time?" Zhu Xi was puzzled.

"It's not that this guy is unexpected." Zhu Su pouted at Yang Lu. "If he honestly follows the letter and cooperates with the thief from the inside out, I won't make such a bad move with great fanfare."

"But who would have thought that he would actually want to pack up his belongings and run away... If he escapes, whoever will join forces with the thieves, how can I follow my plan?"

When Yang Lu over there heard it, he was almost overwhelmed.Dare to suffer this crime, the fundamental reason is that I did not choose to rebel...

When did it become a crime not to have the courage to rebel... Yang Lu's tears flowed down again.

"Don't cry." Seeing the puddle of water flowing towards him, Zhu Su got up in disgust and hid aside. "Since you haven't rebelled yet, for the sake of Concubine Yang in the palace, this king is willing to give you a way out."

"Hand over your soldier talisman and give it to my second brother to manage. Just stay by my second brother's side for the time being, and just be a gourd."

"Reply to the outside of the city right now. If Ma Fengsun is really tricked by you, and our army encircles and suppresses those thieves outside the city, then you will be considered as guilty."

"If not...hehe." Zhu Su sneered.

But Yang Lu only heard the words "conquer merit and crime", and excitedly took two steps forward: "Your Highness is willing to cover up the crime for me?"

"Then why don't you say it earlier, if you say it earlier, I, Yang Lu, will definitely be on the spot for His Highness..."

"Hehe." Zhu Su couldn't deny it.How can he be willing to listen to it without breaking his spine?The second brother may not be able to restrain him.Asking Zhu Xi to accept the soldier talisman given by Yang Lu, Zhu Su ordered Yang Lu to be captured on the top of the city tower, where he was guarded every step of the way.They also sent a group of people to guard the young and old of the Yang family as hostages, and told the outside world that the three princes had come to Yang's mansion to invite Commander Yang to drink, and suppressed this matter.

"Fifth, then I..." On the way back, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi who was holding a military talisman with an excited expression on his face, and Zhu Di suddenly felt a little envious and envious: "What about me? Fifth, you can't just let me watch Bar?"

"Fourth brother, you have read a lot of military books, so naturally you beat the second brother!" Zhu Su said.Zhu Di is too young, and he may not be able to convince the public in a short time.On the other hand, although Zhu Xi acted a little naively, his age was already considered an adult, and with the status of the vassal king, Suzhou Wei would not dare to make mistakes even if he thought about it.

This is also the reason why he kept Yang Lu, the current Suzhou Weiduo is Yang Lu's subordinate, although it is useless, if there is trouble, it will be a troublesome matter.

Besides, Zhu Su couldn't guarantee whether Suzhou Wei, which was leaking from all sides, had the eyeliner of the thieves outside the city. If people outside the city knew that he had dealt with Yang Lu, then the plan of using all tricks would be invalid.

Therefore, Yang Lu must be on the bright side, still the commander of Suzhou Wei... It's just a soldier talisman for dispatching troops, but he can no longer hold it.

In case this guy really turned against him, Zhu Xi had a soldier talisman in his hand, which could at least make the soldiers of Suzhou Guard hesitate.

"It's true..." Explained the reason to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di nodded in understanding.Thinking that their brothers were planning to wipe out the bandit army, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi couldn't help but be inexplicably excited.But Zhu Xi thought about it, and suddenly called out:
"Ah! Fifth, I was negligent!"

"There are more than ten thousand thieves outside the city, but most of them in the city are soldiers from Suzhou Guard."

"Since the soldiers and horses of the Suzhou Guard are useless, if these people set up an ambush, they will not be able to defeat those thieves..."
