Geng Jimao seemed extremely surprised, and his face showed a shocked expression.

"Jingluo Hong was killed by the bomb? How is this possible?"

"Oh, King Jingnan, why is it impossible? The Ming thief's hot air balloon flew over the governor's yamen and exploded in chaos, and the entire governor's yamen was blown into ruins. If the lower officials hadn't happened to go to the city to inspect, they would have been unable to escape this disaster."

Zhang Chaolin looked like a betrayal of his parents and took Geng Jimao's hand and said, "King Jingnan, this is the case, so it's better to deal with Hong Jingluo's funeral immediately and you will take charge of the overall situation."

Geng Jimao was still impressed by Zhang Chaolin.

Although I haven't been with this person for a long time, Geng Jimao still deeply saw through Zhang Chaolin - this person is the typical official who laughs with the crowd.

With an extremely strong old official gang like Hong Chengchou, Zhang Chaolin can tolerate it again and again, so the effect on the surface is pretty good.

But now that Hong Chengchou was bombed to death, Zhang Chaolin had no one to rely on for a while, so naturally he was in chaos, which was understandable.

But Zhang Chaolin was also the governor of Jiangxi by the Qing court. In the face of the crisis, he was willing to serve as a foil for Geng Jimao and gave up his dominance power, which made Geng Jimao look down upon.

But from another perspective, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Geng Jimao.

If Hong Chengchou is here, he will have to worry a little.

Now that Hong Chengchou has been bombed to death, isn’t he the only one who has the final say?

Whether to fight or surrender in the future depends on his attitude. If he decides, Zhang Chaolin's personality, who cannot beat him with a stick, will definitely be obedient and will never jump out of the argument.

Of course, no matter whether Geng Jimao makes or chooses in the future, the most urgent task at the moment is to quickly handle Hong Chengchou's funeral.

Even a job of face must be done, and only in this way can we calm people's hearts.

After deciding, Geng Jimao no longer hesitated and immediately called a group of personal soldiers and Zhang Chaolin to go to the official office.

According to Zhang Chaolin, because the governor's yamen had been blown up, the temporary command office was moved to the prefect's yamen.

Hong Jingluo's body was temporarily stopped in it.

Geng Jimao was still a little surprised. The governor's yamen was blown into pieces, and Hong Chengchou's body could still be identified?

Maybe it was distinguished from the official uniform, so I can only explain this.

But the group hurried to the prefect's office, and Geng Jimao followed Zhang Chaolin into the gate without thinking too much.

"King of Jingnan, King Hong Jingluo's body is parked in the backyard, let's go quickly."

"Um."

Geng Jimao did not doubt that he had, and followed Zhang Chaolin quickly.

The group walked through the courtyard. I don’t know when Zhang Chaolin was getting farther and farther away from Geng Jimao, but Geng Jimao did not notice it.

It was not until they passed through a moon gate and pointed countless crossbow arrows at Geng Jimao that Geng Jimao woke up as if he was dreaming.

"Zhang Pie, how dare you lie to me!"

At this moment, Zhang Chaolin had already run behind the group of crossbowmen. He sneered: "King Jingnan is really easy to cheat, but then again, if you hadn't had the evil intentions and secretly communicated with the thief, Hong Jingluo wouldn't have made such a plan."

"Hong Chengchou is not dead?"

Geng Jimao twitched on his face.

"How could I die so easily?"

Surrounded by a crowd of people, Hong Chengchou slowly walked from the back row.

When he saw Geng Jimao, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty Jingnan couldn't think of it? Maybe you really hope that I will die, but it seems to disappoint you."

Geng Jimao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was in a bad mood.

"What did you want to do if you tricked me here?"

"I naturally don't believe it because someone reported that King Jingnan and the thieves had a secret conversation. But people's words are terrifying, so before the matter is completely clear, I hope that King Jingnan can stay here for a while longer."

Hong Chengchou said it was neither fast nor slow, and the clouds were calm and gentle. It seemed as simple as staying for a meal together.

But Geng Jimao couldn't hear the implicit sound of this.

"You want to put me under house arrest?"

"Oh, King Jingnan, you can't say so badly. What is house arrest? Zhengluo Hong just wants to have a good chat with you."

Zhang Chaolin said sarcastically from the side.

It would be fine if he didn't speak, but Geng Jimao exploded instantly as soon as he spoke.

"Shut up, there is no place for you to speak here."

Zhang Chaolin was defeated for no reason and naturally felt unhappy.

However, he only smiled twice and stopped saying anything. Anyway, Geng Jimao has fallen into their hands, and it doesn't make any sense to talk for a while, so let him tell me.

"I have arranged thousands of people in and out of this government office. Just because the only dozen followers brought by King Jingnan was impossible to rush out. So I still advise King Jingnan to order his subordinates to give up resistance. Maybe we can have a good chat."

Of course, Hong Chengchou knew that Geng Jimao's life could not be hurt at this time. Otherwise, if the Geng family army was furious and the Qing army was in a fire, the consequences would be devastating.

Geng Jimao also knew this, and he snorted coldly, "What if I don't agree? Do you dare to order someone to shoot arrows?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Why do you have to make trouble to this point? You and I know very well. It's only a matter of time before I want to take you down, and there is no need to shoot arrows at all. But if King Jingnan fights to the death, then after I take down the prince, your relatives will probably not be able to survive."

"you!"

Geng Jimao's lungs were so angry that he was about to explode.

There is no doubt that Hong Chengchou has mastered his seven inches.

These followers are all the confidants of Geng Jimao. Hong Chengchou dared not kill Geng Jimao, but he could have killed these followers.

At that time, Geng Jimao had no one around him, so he even said that Tiantian refused to respond, and that the earth and earth were no longer effective.

When the situation has reached this point, it is impossible to turn the tables.

Geng Jimao looked around for a week and found that in addition to these crossbowmen, there were many armored soldiers on the periphery.

According to his rough estimate, there were at least a few hundred people.

Even if one fights ten, it may not be possible to beat them.

Although he was very reluctant, Geng Jimao also knew that there was no other choice than surrender at this moment.

"Put down all the weapons!"

Geng Jimao sighed.

"Prince, let's fight with this old dog."

"Yes, Prince, instead of waiting for death, it's better to give it a try."

"Prince, let's fight, there is still a glimmer of life if we fight!"

Everyone followed you with their words and words, and they were as noisy as a vegetable market.

Geng Jimao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Enough, is this not working?"

Everyone was silent in an instant.

Geng Jimao said coldly: "Put down all the weapons for me."

Although the followers were very reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Geng Jimao's orders and threw the weapons in their hands to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chengchou clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Is there anything I can't sit down and chat? Come on, let's show the tea for King Jingnan!"
