LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 29
29: The Imperial Guards made their first move, shocking everyone!
Today, Shuntian Prefecture was very lively, with people who made a living by hard labor and merchants who ran shops all gathered together to watch the excitement.
“What happened today? This is the first time I have seen so many dignitaries!”
“Look at the brocade they are wearing and the guards behind them. These people are not simple.”
“The one at the head is the emperor of our Ming Dynasty? He is so handsome and imposing.”
“……”
The common people were whispering among themselves, and after seeing the dragon robe on Zhu Gaoxun, they knelt down.
Although the majesty of the royal family had been completely lost in the eyes of officials, it was still very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.
A group of people came to Wei Zaode’s mansion in a mighty manner. Before the leading soldiers entered the mansion, the gatekeeper of Wei’s mansion, with his eyes pointed to the sky, had already shouted
“How dare you! This is the residence of the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, how dare you be so presumptuous! My master is the Minister of War and the Minister of Works of the imperial court, and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.���Where can you soldiers do what you want?”
In front of the Wei Mansion, two arrogant servants holding long sticks were not afraid of Zhu Gaoxun’s soldiers and shouted loudly.
Not long after, more servants of the Wei Mansion heard the noise and rushed in from the side door with sharp weapons.
As the saying goes, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister.
Wei Zaode was proud of his outstanding talent and usually relied on his eloquence to please Zhu Youjian.
At home, this guy always looked arrogant. What kind of master, what kind of servant.
As a servant of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, if someone visited on weekdays, he had to speak in a nice voice, which further encouraged the arrogance of the servants of the Wei Mansion.
What’s more, the ones who came were a group of mud soldiers. These dogs were nothing in front of their masters!
The Wei Mansion is located where dignitaries gather. At this moment, the alley is full of people watching the excitement.
They can’t enter such places on weekdays. Today, they have a chance, so they have to take a good look at the excitement.
“I didn’t expect to find the Wei Mansion. This has been the most popular place in Shuntian Prefecture from last year to this year!”
“Yes, last year when Lord Wei Zaode was promoted to the Minister of War, the number of people who came to visit him almost trampled down the threshold of the Wei Mansion.”
“The Wei family is in trouble. The leader of the team behind them is obviously the emperor! The emperor came in person, but these servants are still so arrogant. If the emperor blames them, these servants will be skinned alive!”
“Humph, he is a third-rank official in the prime minister’s household. These servants are incomparable. They often do evil things to him on a daily basis. They deserve it!”
“……”
The soldiers brought by Zhu Gaoxun were absolutely prohibited from following orders without receiving orders.
Therefore, the servants and the soldiers confronted each other and the situation was deadlocked.
The only difference was that although the servants did not dare to act rashly due to the temperament of the soldiers, they never stopped swearing.
Words such as mud, soldiers, and cheap skins kept jumping out.
These soldiers were the modernized imperial guards created by Zhu Gaoxun himself. As the emperor’s personal army, these soldiers were praised wherever they went on weekdays, and they had never heard these words.
But the instinct to obey orders engraved in their bones made them restrain their inner anger.
Not long after.
Zhu Gaoxun and his party also arrived at the entrance of the alley where the Wei Mansion was located, and saw the arrogant appearance of the group of servants from a distance.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wei Zaode who had collapsed into mud, and laughed coldly:”Like master, like servant. You, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, are more powerful than the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Di was even more irritable, and roared:”Bring me my bow and arrows!”
These two were both born in the battlefield, and they valued soldiers more than civil officials. Suddenly hearing that a servant of a civil official dared to insult the soldiers, he was immediately furious.
Zhu Gaoyi stopped Zhu Di and said grimly:”Why does father need to take action? Fan Guang, give the order to shoot!”
“”I obey your orders!”
After Fan Guang stepped forward, Zhu Gaoxun said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di with a smile,”Grandpa Emperor, father, please step back to avoid being hit by stray bullets.”
In fact, even the direction of the gun muzzle could not be towards this side, let alone stray bullets.
Zhu Gaoxun’s purpose of doing this was actually to show his strength and to improve his favorability.
The group of servants also noticed the movement here, but before they could see clearly, they heard Fan Guang shouting,”The first squad of the third squad of the Imperial Guard! Line up! Shoot!” As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who were confronting the group of servants quickly stood in formation, loaded their bullets, and a surge of iron-blooded energy surged out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three rounds of volleys, the movements were the same, and they couldn’t be more orderly.
The moment they heard the order, the team seemed to be integrated into one, without any unnecessary movements, clean and neat!
The effect of the shooting was also extraordinary.
The servants who were trying to dodge didn’t even have a chance to escape, and were hit by a round of volleys from this team. He was killed.
In front of the Wei Mansion, you could hear a pin drop.
People with good eyesight could see that the servants had black wounds on their foreheads, and blood was gushing out.
The blood was mixed with white and yellow, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Except for the people from the Tiancheng Dynasty, no one present had ever seen such a scene? For a moment, no one dared to move.
Including Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two were almost shocked and grabbed Zhu Gaoxun’s arm with one hand.
The protruding blue veins showed their inner excitement.
