Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Cheng in confusion. Cao Zhengchun was also stunned.
"Sir, do you think Hundred Fragrance Building is the secret stronghold of Heaven Yin Gate?”
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian nodded his head. The doubt on his face did not diminish.
"Yes, I chased them to Hundred Fragrance Building and lost track of them, so I concluded that this Hundred Fragrance Building should be the secret stronghold of Heaven Yin Gate.”
Wei Zhongxian voiced his opinion, and Wang Cheng nodded.
"Sir, why don't we follow the clues and not touch this Hundred Fragrance House first? If we follow the clues of Hundred Fragrance House, we might be able to find out the conspiracy of Heaven Yin Gate.”
Wang Cheng voiced his thoughts. Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Cheng with admiration.
"That's right. Let's let this Hundred Fragrance House go first. Wang Cheng, you'll be in charge of this matter.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Wei Zhongxian lay back on the recliner and tapped his fingers on the back of the chair.
"Li Weihao, tell me about today's battle.”
Li Weihao bowed and stepped forward. Ever since Wei Zhongxian promoted him to Huang Degong's adjutant, Wei Zhongxian had begun to allow him to participate in matters.
"My lord, after this subordinate's light punishment, we have killed a total of 87 bandits and captured 48 people today, including the vice alliance leader, Ghost Weep!”
Wei Zhongxian's eyes twitched. He had almost forgotten that there was a big fish.
"Lock him up alone. I will personally interrogate him later, so keep him in the governor's mansion.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Li Weihao immediately bowed in response. He was still a little reserved when facing Wei Zhongxian. Not to mention Wei Zhongxian, he was even a little uneasy when facing Huang Degong.
"Milord, 177 of the Embroidered Uniform Guards have died, and less than 50 of the remaining are uninjured.”
Huang Degong said again. This time, Wei Zhongxian was stunned. Then, he picked up the teacup beside him and threw it on the ground.
"Trash, a bunch of trash! They had several times the number of people and were even equipped with bows and crossbows. Why did they suffer so many casualties?”
Wei Zhongxian was instantly enraged. He thought that his subordinates should have suffered very few casualties.
Cao Zhengchun frowned. The Embroidered Uniform Guards belonged to him, so this combat power was indeed not justifiable.
"Lord, please forgive me. It's this subordinate's fault for not training properly. Please punish me!”
Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and knelt on the ground, waiting for his punishment.
Wang Cheng rolled his eyes and walked out.
"Your Excellency, it's not that the Embroidered Uniform Guards are too weak. It should be that this group of thieves are relatively strong. All of them have martial arts and should be Jianghu people.”
Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Cheng gratefully. Wang Cheng was pleading for him.
"Alright, you don't have to find excuses. Cao Zhengchun will go to the East Hall to receive thirty strokes of the cane. If the fighting power of the Brocade Guard is still like this, you can bring your head to see me!”
Wei Zhongxian interrupted Wang Cheng and gave Cao Zhengchun thirty strokes of the cane.
Wei Zhongxian actually knew that Wang Cheng was right. Cao Zhengchun's Embroidered Uniform Guards were not to be blamed for being too weak, but this group of bandits was too strong.
However, Wei Zhongxian still punished Cao Zhengchun. He wanted to use this excuse to send a message to Cao Zhengchun that he wanted the Embroidered Uniform Guards to become stronger, at least not weaker than these bandits.
With Cao Zhengchun's intelligence, how could he not understand that he was a martial arts practitioner? If he could not be broken by a blade or spear with his child-like skills, 30 lashes would be no different from scratching an itch.
"This subordinate will obey!"
Cao Zhengchun stood up and accepted the order. He began to think about how to improve the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'combat strength.
"Continue, what about the East Wind Battalion?"
Wei Zhongxian said to the submissive Li Weihao. At this moment, he really couldn't tell that he was a butcher born with divine strength.
"Milord, no one from the East Wind Battalion died. One was heavily injured and seventeen were lightly injured.”
Wei Zhongxian's brows relaxed when he heard this. What he did not know was that these dozens of members of Heaven Yin Gate had accidentally arrived at the East Wind Camp, just in time for the East Wind Camp's shooting practice.
The East Wind Battalion was momentarily stunned, but they soon treated these fifty people as live targets. After two rounds of crossbow fire, they had killed more than half of the enemy. The remaining five hundred people had successfully killed off this unlucky group of Heavenly Yin Gate members.
"Not bad!"
Wei Zhongxian gave a rare compliment, and Huang Degong's face instantly lit up.
"Sir, there is one more thing."
Wang Cheng spoke again, and Wei Zhongxian nodded.
"Tell me."
"When we were besieging the Thief Jun, the brothers from the East Chamber and the Inspector came in time, but the Governor's Mansion is so close to the city guards. Even after three urgent letters, the city guards still haven't made any moves.”
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian stood up immediately, his body filled with killing intent.
"Who is the City Guard Army's Commander now?”
Wei Zhongxian's voice was filled with killing intent, making people shudder.
"Sir, it's Zuo Guangxiong, Zuo Guangdou's younger brother!”
Donglin Party?
Hmph, do you really think I can't do anything to you?
If it wasn't for the fact that eliminating the Donglin Party would cause unrest in the court, Wei Zhongxian would have killed Gu Xiancheng more than a dozen times.
"To the City Guard Manor!"
Wei Zhongxian led everyone out of the Governor's Mansion with endless killing intent.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian didn't care about being grounded for a month.
His goal of being grounded had been achieved. Not only had he gathered a large number of officials who were hostile to the Donglin Party, but he had also subdued Huang Jing and convinced Grand Tutor Chu.
Wei Zhongxian didn't plan to stay in his house anymore. Yun Guangxiong? I'll use your dog head as a catalyst to return to the court!
At this moment, in the City Guard Manor, Zuo Guangxiong was drinking with a group of subordinates and hugging a singer. He had no idea that a fierce tiger was coming.
"Hahaha, brothers, come and drink.”
Zuo Guangxiong picked up his wine cup and called out to his subordinates. At this moment, he was already a little drunk.
"Commander, I heard that Wei Zhongxian's Governor's Mansion has sent three letters to ask for help. Should we send at least a team of people to show our sincerity and go through the motions?”
"Hahahaha…there's no hurry. It's best to wait until these thieves kill this eunuch dog.”
Zuo Guangxiong burst into laughter as soon as his deputy finished speaking.
After Zuo Guangxiong finished speaking, another person stood up.
"Commander, I also think that Vice Commander Guo is right. Although Wei Zhongxian is no longer in power in the court, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.”
Zuo Guangxiong threw his wine cup on the ground. Everyone bowed, afraid that the commander's anger would be directed at them.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm the grand commander of the city guards, why should I care about a castrated dog? Besides, my brother holds an important position in the court, and Teacher Gu is a cabinet elder in the court.”
After Zuo Guangxiong finished his words, before his subordinates could bootlick him, a round of applause came from outside the hall.
Pa, pa, pa!
"Great, Great Commander Zuo is right!”
This voice was filled with killing intent, causing the drunk Zuo Guangxiong to freeze. He even had goosebumps all over his body.
