Meng Huai was very arrogant with Yan Song's support. Not to mention a small Jinyiwei Qianhu, even Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi, did not take it seriously.

Of course, he knew that the Governor of Zhejiang and Zhi was in charge of local officials in several southeastern provinces, but Yan Song was in charge of almost all officials in the world. What happened to the Governor of Zhejiang and Zhi, so what if he offended him? The power of their Yan Song party in the court was at its peak, and he was not worried about what Yang Cong could do to him.

Now, the only thing he fears is the identity of the Jinyiwei. Of course, this does not mean that he is afraid of Chen Lian. He is afraid that he will accidentally kill the Jinyiwei, and that he will be in trouble by then.

As the saying goes, "It depends on the owner when beating a dog." This Jinyiwei is the personal army of the emperor, so it cannot be killed at will.

This sword and gun have no eyes. Once you start, who can guarantee that there will be no casualties?

He frowned and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Shao Qianhu, assembled two hundred people, lined up, and prepared to attack."

Qianhu, the leader of the Five City Military Command, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then gritted his teeth and ordered: "Old Zhang, Lao Zhao, quickly assemble his subordinates and lined up to standby."

Shao Qianhu was actually a little scared when he saw the Jinyiwei. However, the military commanders of the five cities were already responsible for capturing bandits. At this moment, the prefect actually said that there were Japanese pirates in the yard in front of him, so he could not catch them.

With his order, more than 200 Tun Guards quickly assembled behind them, and in a short while, they formed two neat square formations.

Because these guards are responsible for defending Nanjing, they are equipped with relatively good equipment, such as iron shields, spears, waist knives, bows and arrows, and the square formation formed by two hundred people still looks quite imposing.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but look excited. They had never seen the battle between the Tun Guard and the Jinyiwei, and they didn't know how exciting it was. Of course, there were also timid people who were afraid of trouble, fearing that they would affect the fish in the pond, so they hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

Meng Huai hasn't actually planned to take action yet. He just wanted to act in a move and scare these Jinyiwei to see if it works.

The Tunwei behind him had just formed a formation, and he threatened coldly: "Chen Qianhu, if you don't let go, I will order a strong attack."

Chen Lian looked at him coldly, suddenly pulled out the Xiuchun sword and shouted loudly: "Line in line, who dares to step forward, kill you without mercy."

"Clang clang clang", the Jinyiwei at the door pulled out the embroidered spring swords and lined up neatly behind him.

This scene is really exciting. On one side is the well-equipped Nanjing Tunwei and on the other side is the legendary extremely cruel Jinyiwei. Which side can win?

The people watching the fun around were like chicken blood, their faces flushed. This kind of good show is rare in a century. Watching it once is enough to brag for a lifetime!

Just as both sides were at a strife, a loud shout suddenly came from the outside: "The Governor General is here."

When the people in the Yang Mansion heard this loud shout, they all looked back and saw that, sure enough, a young man in a big red official robe slowly walked towards this side surrounded by guards. There was also a younger man beside him, who seemed to be wearing the court uniform of a super duke.

At this time, a sharp-eyed person had already recognized the man in the duke's ward uniform.

"It's the Prince of the Duke of Wei."

"The Prince of Wei is here."

Yang Cong, the Governor General, has no impression of the common people, because he has only been to Jinling for more than ten days and has basically never appeared in front of the common people. Xu Bangrui, the Duke of Wei, is different. This is a famous powerful man in Nanjing. He often goes to and from several famous restaurants in the city, and there are still many people who know him.

As soon as the group came over, the common people quickly went to the side and made way out. Meng Huai also pretended to bring the thousand households who led the troops to greet him and bowed respectfully: "The officials have met the Governor General and the Prince of Wei."

Yang Cong glanced at him and asked lightly: "Whose order have you been following to mobilize the troops of the Five City Military Commanders here to fight?"

Damn, what are you saying?

I am the prefect of Yingtian, okay? Does anyone need to take orders to catch a Japanese pirate in Jinling City?

Meng Huai responded calmly and said, "Sir, the official heard that there were Japanese pirates hidden in this house, so he mobilized his troops to arrest him, but he did not follow anyone's order."

In fact, they said this to others, and everyone knew what was going on. However, on the surface, they still had to take a reason, otherwise, the common people would privately say that they were stupid officials, corrupt officials, or even dog officials.

Sometimes the official voice is also very important. As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something." Usually, it doesn't matter how the people evaluate an official. However, if the people's evaluation is transmitted to the emperor's ears, it will be amazing. Therefore, most officials still pay more attention to the official voice.

In this regard, Yang Cong paid more attention because he had to prevent Yan Song from tearing down his platform from behind.

He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Oh, so that's the case. There are not Japanese pirates in this house, but important witnesses. I am afraid that something happened to them, so I ordered people to protect them. Thank you Lord Meng for your hard work. If nothing else, please come back."

The people around were really a little suspicious of the Japanese pirates in the house, but when Yang Cong said this, their ideas were a little loose. There were important witnesses inside, so people were sent to protect them. This seemed reasonable. If there were really Japanese pirates inside, how could this Governor send someone to protect them?

Damn, it's not that easy.

Meng Huai thought for a while and then bowed: "My lord, I am sorry for the crime. The lower official led the troops here after receiving the exact news. If he didn't take the people inside back for a good interrogation, the lower official was really worried. After all, this is Nandu. If the Japanese pirates sneaked into the city and make trouble, the lower official would not be able to afford it."

Sani Nai Jiji, I've given you a face, don't want it, right?

When Yang Cong heard this, he looked stern and said coldly: "This is an important witness for the Japanese pirates to be eliminated so quickly. You should take it for interrogation. What if the Japanese pirates take the opportunity to kill them? Also, I am responsible for clearing out pirates and Japanese pirates under the order of the emperor. Why are you, the governor of Yingtian, come to make trouble? Have you also been ordered by the emperor?"

Damn, take the emperor to suppress me, I'm afraid you will have a ball.

Meng Huai pretended to be righteous and said: "In order to govern the safety of the people, I must find out whether there are Japanese pirates inside."

I'll go to you!

Yang Cong said coldly: "I have already explained to you why you are so unreasonable. Are you colluding with Japanese pirates to kill and silence people? I have long heard that many officials in the southeastern provinces colluded with pirates and Japanese pirates, so pirates and Japanese pirates are so rampant. Are you one of them?"

Damn, this shit can't be picked up.

Meng Huai pretended to be indignant and said, "Sir, you have to tell evidence when speaking, without any evidence. Even if the governor is not allowed to falsely accuse a good person, right?"

Good man?

If you are a good person, there will be no bad people in the world.

Yang Cong said bluntly: "I ask you whether to leave or not."

Meng Huai looked at Shao Qianhu next to him and simply stood there and said nothing.

This Shao Qianhu probably has a problem. Do you think you can coerce me with this little force?

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but look at the Prince of Wei Xu Bangrui on the side.

Xu Bangrui was not so polite. He went forward and pointed at Shao Qianhu and said, "Who asked you to lead the troops?"

When Shao Qianhu heard this, he bowed his hands and said hesitantly: "It was the prefect who said that there were Japanese pirates here who led the troops here."

Xu Bangrui snorted coldly: "Didn't you hear what the Governor said? Get out of here with you!"

When Shao Qianhu heard this, his face changed. The prince of Wei cannot be provoked. If he offended this guy, he would not be considered a thousand-hu.

He secretly looked at Meng Huai, and finally left with his men.

Yang Cong silently watched the troops of the five cities' military personnel withdraw, and then said coldly: "Mr. Meng, do you think it's okay to be the prefect and collude with Japanese pirates? Do you believe it or not, I will take you down and send you to the imperial prison for trial?"

Damn, there is no need to be so cruel to the "Edict Prison"!

When Meng Huai heard this, his face also changed. He didn't dare to bet whether Yang Cong could send him to the imperial prison. If he went in, he would basically not be able to get out of that place.
