The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Wang Ziteng suddenly roared at the messenger.

"What nonsense!"

The messenger said anxiously,

"I wouldn't dare tell a single lie, my Lord!"

Wang Ziteng snorted coldly.

"Humph! Yancheng City is only 23 feet high. How could the rebels take it in less than a moment? It's obvious that you were bribed by the rebels and lied about military intelligence!"

"Left and right, push him out with me and behead him!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, several guards in armor walked in from outside the hall.

He set up a messenger and walked out.

The messenger suddenly cried out in fear.

"Please spare my life, sir! I am innocent, innocent!"

"It's unfair, sir!"

But Wang Ziteng turned his back and ignored him.

The messenger's heart-wrenching plea for mercy resounded in the hearts of everyone in the hall.

Until a scream was heard outside the reputation door.

Soon, the messenger's head was brought in on a plate by the guards, who reported to Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng turned around and waved his hand slightly at the head on the plate.

The guard went out again with the tray.

Immediately, Wang Ziteng stared at everyone present with a burning gaze and said,

"You are all well-read people, so it's wise not to talk about strange things!"

"You are all my frontline officials. How can you let your thoughts be influenced by outsiders?"

"From today on, anyone who shakes the morale of the army before the battle will be treated like this!"

Everyone was shocked by Wang Ziteng's methods and the bloody head.

They all took orders,

"I will obey your command!"

Wang Ziteng then nodded slightly with a serious expression and waved his hand.

"Everyone, please disperse and do your job!"

"Yes!"

After everyone left one by one,

Wang Ziteng dismissed all the people in the hall and turned to walk to the first chair alone.

When he was about to get close, he suddenly collapsed on the chair, and his expression suddenly became unusually ugly.

How could he not know that the messenger was wrongly accused?

But this news is too shocking!

The rebels in Yangzhou were able to quickly occupy Yangzhou because they had been operating here for a long time and had deceived the people through various means, which was understandable.

But Yancheng, such a powerful city, couldn't actually stop a mere rabble?

If we don't kill him, I'm afraid the entire Nanjing will be in turmoil immediately even if we don't bring in the rebels to attack.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Ziteng called out to the door,

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, a guard came in and bowed to Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng ordered,

"Go, give twenty taels of silver as compensation to the family of that messenger!"

Suddenly, I seemed to think of something.

"Also, you must immediately summon Wang Shoubei, the commander of the Sheyang army preparing for the Japanese invasion, in my name, and order his 20,000 troops to stay in the camp and not leave. Even if the bandits provoke you, you must not fight them!"

"Make sure he guards the Sheyang camp and cooperates with the imperial army to encircle and suppress the rebels. If there is any mistake before this, I will report it to the court and execute his entire family!"

"Yes, I humbly accept my order!"

The guard immediately took the order, turned around and walked away quickly.

Wang Ziteng looked outside the hall with emotion and pinched his brows.

"Oh! I hope everything will be in time!"

……

In the Xue family mansion in Jinling.

In a room in the outer courtyard,

Linghu Chong looked at the secret letter in his hand with a solemn expression on his face.

He stuffed the superstition in his hand directly into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

He immediately took out a small box from under his bed, found a small piece of paper two fingers wide, and a booklet that looked like scribbles.

Referring to the booklet, he wrote down the scribbles that looked like ghostly talismans on a piece of paper.

After finishing these,

Linghu Chong put the note in his arms, restored the scene, turned around and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, all the servants and maids bowed to Linghu Chong.

"Manager Linghu!"

Linghu Chong nodded slightly, and walked out of the Xue family's gate quickly with a cold expression.

But what he didn't realize was that in the gatehouse,

Xue Pan looked at Linghu Chong's back through the gap in the window with an inexplicably complicated expression.

Behind him, Zhang, the steward of the Xue family, bowed slightly to Xue Pan.
