Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
The original plan was to behead Chen Shan and County Magistrate Zhu in the vegetable market at 15:30. They would then be able to escort the dozen carts of treasure back to the capital, present them to the emperor, and make amends for their mistakes.
But before I could even warm up, it disappeared.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and the last bit of strength left in his body was drained away, and Zhang Yuanshan collapsed to the ground.
“It’s over. It’s all over! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—”
The Jinyiwei looked at each other in dismay, as if they had lost their parents.
The past events were still vivid in their minds. It was because they failed to do their job well during the last raid on the Feng family that they were expelled from the capital by the emperor. The emperor threatened that if they failed to pay tribute to him with gold, silver and jewelry, they would not be allowed to return to the capital.
"How, how could that be? We two brothers never even left the front door. Even when we needed to go to the toilet, we would ask our brothers to take our place before we went."
"How could this be so bizarre? Our two patrol teams have been following Mr. Zhang's orders and have been patrolling alternately without slacking off. How could the thieves move away everything in the yard quietly in just one night?"
At this point, everyone looked at each other.
No, this scene seems to be surprisingly similar!
So, the Jinyiwei were divided into several groups.
Several people went to the front yard to check the garden, front hall and other places, several people rushed out to Chen Shan's mansion, several people went to check the side rooms and other courtyards in the yard, leaving only one Jinyiwei to look after Zhang Yuanshan who was lying on the ground.
Zhang Yuanshan burst into tears, wondering why he was so unlucky.
He thought that this time when he returned to Beijing with the confiscated gold, silver and jewelry, he could at least get a good look from the emperor, even if he didn't have to ask for a promotion.
Zhang Yuanshan still held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that it would not be what he thought.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard screams from his men in the courtyard.
"Damn it, I almost fell to death! Who the hell pried away the bluestone bricks on the ground?"
After Zhang Yuanshan heard this, the glimmer of hope in his heart shattered with a snap.
Sure enough, he heard his men cursing from the side room.
"Damn it, there's not a single hair left!"
"The antique shelf is gone!"
"The screen is gone! The desk, the desk is gone too!"
"Damn it! The roof was blown away! God damn it! It's that same thief from last time again!"
There were chaotic footsteps. "Sir, something bad has happened! The rockery is gone!"
“The fish in the fish pond are gone too!”
“The crabapple tree in the garden is gone too!”
"It's gone, all gone! All the rooms have been robbed. What could be moved was taken away, and what couldn't be moved was also taken away."
"Master, Master, it's bad! The mansion of the thief Chen has also been emptied!"
......
Zhang Yuanshan's heart skipped a beat, his eyes were lifeless, his whole body was shaking, and he didn't know what to do at this moment.
Yesterday morning, he received a letter from the palace. In the letter, the emperor urged them to escort the property back to Beijing as soon as possible, and the emperor's happiness could be seen between the lines.
But this morning, all the belongings disappeared.
How is he going to explain this to the Emperor?
If the emperor knew about this, he would chop off their heads on the spot!
Woo woo woo, he has such a miserable life!
One of the Jinyiwei bowed and said, "Sir, this is the same as the one that emptied the Feng Mansion and the Imperial Palace! It must be done by the same gang!"
Zhang Yuanshan glared at the Jinyiwei who was speaking, "Why don't you tell me? I can guess it with my toes!"
"Sir, what should we do now? His Majesty will not really chop off our heads, will he?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt a pain in their necks and a chill on their backs.
Zhang Yuanshan trembled his lips, "What can we do? Report the truth. Otherwise, we will be accused of deceiving the emperor and our families will be implicated."
"Come on, help me up. I'll write a letter right away, and you can send someone to rush it eight hundred miles away. No, that's not right, send someone back to the palace. There's no need to rush it eight hundred miles away."
The head can stay on the neck for a little longer, just a little longer.
Two Jinyiwei helped Zhang Yuanshan up. Zhang Yuanshan glanced at them and said, "Also, at 15:30, Chen Shan and County Magistrate Zhu will be executed. You should prepare well."
"Yes!" The other Jinyiwei retreated.
Zhang Yuanshan was supported by two Jinyiwei and walked to the study of County Magistrate Zhu. He intended to write a letter, but found that there was not even a desk or a good rice paper. There was only dirty rice paper with several black footprints on the ground.
Zhang Yuanshan was overwhelmed with grief, thinking that God was going to kill him!
Finally, they found a piece of rice paper in the corner that was barely clean and tidy.
Zhang Yuanshan glanced at one of the Jinyiwei and said, "Kneel down and act as a desk."
The Jinyiwei who was named: "......"
He never thought that there would be a day when he would work as a clerk!
The Jinyiwei knelt on the ground. Zhang Yuanshan spread rice paper on his back. With shaking hands, he picked up the pen and wrote down what happened last night and this morning truthfully.
He couldn't help but feel pitiful in his heart, hoping that the emperor would show mercy and forgive them.
After folding the letter and stuffing it into the envelope, Zhang Yuanshan called a Jinyiwei in and handed the letter over. "No need to rush it eight hundred miles, and no need to rush it at full speed. Just send it back to the capital at your normal speed!"
The Royal Guard nodded, "Yes, sir, I understand!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuanshan felt exhausted all over. Writing a letter took all his strength, and he needed to have a good rest.
He waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, you guys can leave."
