Chapter 26

From Zhaocheng to Mingcheng is a wide and flat official road. Although Yunzhou is mountainous, this road is not steep.

This is the only official road in Yunzhou leading to the hinterland of the imperial dynasty. People travel and repair it all year round. This is a source of income for businessmen. Even if the government does not pay, the chamber of commerce in Yunzhou will pay for repairs.

After rectifying and setting off, the army full of anger will not feel tired.

Zhao Zheng rode on the horse, kept a constant speed, and looked at the scenery along the way.

In fact, Mingcheng and Zhaocheng are not far away, but the means of transportation in this era cannot increase the speed.

In addition, there are many towering mountains, and many places are detours.

Despite this, he kept marching at a high pace, and when the sun just set to the west, he saw Mingcheng.

The administrative division of this world is ingenious, and there are no complicated definitions such as provinces, counties and counties.

Under the state is the state, and under the state is the city!

The city is divided into three levels based on population and area, large, medium and small!

Zhaocheng is a small city with a population of less than [-] and governs a land of hundreds of miles.

Zhongcheng governs a land of thousands of miles, and its population is usually less than 50.

And Dacheng governs a land of thousands of miles, with a population of more than 50!
The big city governs the small and medium-sized cities, and the superiors generally concentrate their power centers in the big city, so there is a saying that the big manages the small.

Yunzhou is a relatively remote state in the imperial dynasty. Although it has a large territory, it is not developed. Among the 130 cities, there are only 5 big cities.

And Mingcheng is one of the big cities.

At a glance, Zhao Zheng saw that Ming City on the horizon was much more magnificent than Zhao City. The parallel width alone was several times larger. The city walls were so high and thick that it was difficult to see the whole picture.

There are usually more than a thousand guards in Ayutthaya, and there are generally garrisons outside the city.

The garrison in Mingcheng is Hu Chu's [-] troops, but they have already gone to the south.

Now a thousand city guards are here, and there are only a hundred guards in the city.

The army marched in normally, under the banner of Ming characters.

close!

When the guards on the tower saw the familiar troops, they quickly stood at attention and kept their spirits high.

The front, middle and rear armies entered the city one by one. The mighty team and the few city gate guards did not see the general Wang Xun. Although they were puzzled, they saw the familiar centurions and did not think about other aspects.

Those who came in were all familiar Pao Ze!
Ding Ping and Shi Wen led three hundred cavalry in front.

Zhao Zheng was walking in the center of the team, followed by Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's two hundred soldiers.

The streets of Mingcheng are very wide, people come and go, and the bustling and bustling far exceeds that of Zhaocheng. It is similar to the grandeur seen in the movies of Zhao Zheng's previous life, but in terms of sanitation construction, it is still messy and messy.

But this is the outer city!

The common people avoided to watch the excitement on both sides, and no one dared to block the way.

"I just went out yesterday, why did I come back today!"

"Why don't they go back to the barracks? This direction is going straight to the inner city."

……

The melon-eaters were discussing lively, they didn't know that this army had changed its main general!
"Accelerate, surround the Wang family!"

Zhao Zheng gave the order, the army began to speed up, and the cavalry led by Ding Ping started to run.

In front of the resplendent and resplendent gate of the palace, there are two large stone lions. This is an independent and luxurious house, even grander than the City Lord's Mansion.

"Surround and seal all exits!"

The two teams of infantry dispersed and surrounded the Wang family mansion.

Only then did people in Mingcheng realize that something was wrong. The rich and powerful families living in the inner city panicked and secretly observed the direction of the Wang family.

The City Lord's Mansion also received the news, and a group of officials rushed over.

They were all shocked. The Wang family, which has always been strong, and no one dared to mess with the government and businessmen, was surrounded by the army.

Look at this group of menacing soldiers, full of murderous intent!
It is certainly impossible to be a good stubble.

It has always been the Wang family who mobilizes the army to fight others, but today it is the other way around.

This is a big event, and it seems that the sky is about to change!

Looking at the vicious army, no one dared to approach, including the city lord and others. Zhao Zheng had already arranged a group of soldiers to stop outside. Now no one can save the Wang family!
"Control everyone, dare to resist, kill without mercy!"

As soon as Zhao Zheng gave an order, Ding Ping led his people directly into the Wang's house on horseback.

"Who are you, dare to break into the palace,"

A group of guards rushed up, pulled out their knives arrogantly, and ordered them to point their blades at the rushing army.

Ding Ping jumped off the horse, pulled out the saber at his waist, looked at the guard leader ruthlessly with his blood red eyes, walked over, and slashed out with the knife.

The guard was startled, he didn't expect that the other party didn't speak at all, and directly attacked, the reputation of the Wang family was not easy to use.

However, being able to be the guard of the Wang family obviously has two tricks, and he can fight against Ding Ping twice.

But it's just two tricks.

"Wow!"

The blade shattered, blood spattered, and the leader of the guards fell.

"The Wang family conspired to rebel, and those who dare to resist will be killed immediately!"

Cleaning all the way, only the one or two hundred guards could not resist the angry soldiers, and everyone was controlled.

When Zhao Zheng walked into the palace of the Wang family and sat down, all the people in the palace had been arrested and knelt down in front of him.

After questioning, there is no direct lineage of the Wang family, and there are two stewards surnamed Wang, who are only collateral lines like Wang Xun.

"Could it be that the members of the Wang family knew the news in advance and fled away!" Zhao Zheng guessed, but they shouldn't, they had already caught the messenger, and no one communicated the news, so the members of the Wang family had no reason to run away.

"With such a large industry in Mingcheng, it's impossible for the Wang family not to send a single member of their immediate family!"

The Wang family has a big business, based on Qianzhou and Yunzhou, the business spread throughout the entire dynasty, and important family members were scattered to manage the family business. The foundation was in Qianzhou, and the old lady Wang took the lead.

Yunzhou came to develop after Zhao Xuan came to power ten years ago. Yuncheng and Mingcheng are the two centers of the Wang family in Yunzhou.

Yuncheng's property is mainly managed by his second wife, Wang Su, while Mingcheng is said to be in charge of the Wang family's big house.

It is impossible for Nuoda Mingcheng and Wangfu to not have any important personnel from the Wang family.

"Have you searched all of them, did you not find anyone important in the Wang family?"

Zhao Zheng questioned Ding Ping.

"We've searched everything, including the underground secret room, nothing!" Ding Ping frowned and sighed.

"Before I left Mingcheng yesterday, I told Yaojin to keep an eye on the palace, can I ask him?"

"That's right, there is also Cheng Yaojin, I almost forgot about him!" Zhao Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely, this lucky general was arranged to come to Mingcheng before.

At this time, there was a loud shout at the door.

"Let go of me, let me go, do you know who I am, how dare you treat me like this!" A young man was being held by two men, struggling wildly.

He is pale and thin, with thin skin and tender flesh, and his brocade clothes and jade belt are a little loose, looking like a weak and noble son.

"Don't yell, let's go!"

Chen Yaojin squeezed his neck and walked in, he raised his head and saw Zhao Zheng in the middle, his eyes widened suddenly, surprised and terrified,
"Zhao...Zhao Zheng, you are not dead!" He yelled, as if he had seen a ghost,
"Where's my uncle Xun, where's my uncle Xun?"

"Wang Xuan, I didn't expect you to be in Mingcheng, what a surprise!" Zhao Zheng was also surprised, and his tone was joking.

He recognized Wang Xuan at a glance.

Wang Xuan is the eldest son of the eldest family of the Wang family, that is, the eldest grandson of the old lady Wang, and his status is not ordinary.

Wang Xuan and Zhao Zheng are about the same age and have known each other since childhood, but their personalities are at odds and they can't play together.

This Wang Xuan is just a dandy, bullying boys and girls since he was a child, forcing women from good families to do bad things, he is a second lord.

Zhao Zheng was not ashamed of his behavior. He once beat him up because of a little girl, and was always hated by Wang Xuan.

However, even though he was jealous, Wang Xuan couldn't deal with Zhao Zheng. He was weak and not Zhao Zheng's opponent, and his henchmen didn't dare to attack Zhao Zheng.

However, after growing up, during the ten years that Zhao Zheng stayed in Yandu, the "relative" he had seen the most was Wang Xuan. This guy liked the bustling fireworks in Yandu.

Every time Wang Xuan went to Yan, he would deliberately mock Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng still deeply remembers his mocking words in his memory,
"My cousin Zhao Xing is young and has great martial arts skills. He led troops to kill all directions early on. Compared with Zhao Xing, Zhao Zheng, you are a waste."

"You can only stay in Yandu all your life, you can't go anywhere, like a prisoner."

……

The most recent time, he even instructed the guards to beat Zhao Zheng secretly.

So, now that he suddenly saw Zhao Zheng who he thought was dead, Wang Xuan couldn't be more frightened.

Cheng Yaojin kicked Wang Xuan's leg, and Wang Xuan immediately knelt down on the ground, his teeth were bleeding from the knock, he looked up at Zhao Zheng, blood sprayed from his mouth,
"Qingyuan, no, brother Zheng, brother Zheng, you can't kill me!"
