Chapter 9: Taking People

Not to mention how Wei Zhongxian arranged to take over the affairs with excitement after leaving the Qianqing Palace, after Liu Qiao walked in, he was straight to the point:

"Your Majesty, Cui Wensheng's whereabouts have been found."

"After moving the palace that day, he separated from Xi Li Xuanzhi and went to see a person, and after being impeached, he was demoted to Nanjing as a garrison eunuch, and he was on his way to Nanjing at the moment."

As he spoke, Liu Qiao whispered over and said the name of this person.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the direction Wei Zhongxian left, snorted coldly to indicate that he knew, and suddenly asked, "Who impeached Cui Wensheng?" ā€

"Fang Xian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was also instructed by him." Liu Qiao said.

"Okay, this thing is good, you can bring the Jinyi Guard." Zhu Youxiao said lightly, looking at his expression, it seemed that this was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Qiao was overjoyed.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and said coldly: "Arrest Fang Xian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, put him in prison, and recover Cui Wensheng, you don't have to go to the Criminal Department to ask for a driving sticker." ā€

"Yes!" Liu Qiao hugged his fists.

"Let's go down."

......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had just succeeded to the throne for four days, and there was explosive news, still two in a row.

The eunuch Li Jinzhong was given by the emperor to change his name, and from then on he was called Wei Zhongxian!

Wei is Li Jinzhong's original surname, and it is not unusual to change it back, but the word "loyalty" given by Zhu Youxiao is very particular.

These two words are enough to reflect Zhu Youxiao's attention to him.

This is not over, the emperor issued an order for Wei Zhongxian to be the governor of Dongchang and also the head of the imperial horse supervisor, making it clear that he wanted to use Wei Zhongxian to restrict Wang An, who had just been promoted to the master of ceremonies.

After moving the palace to succeed to the throne, the Donglin Party finally discovered that Zhu Youxiao's style was completely different from that of the past.

Wang An is close to Donglin, and Wei Zhongxian is undoubtedly the emperor's minion, and the latter suddenly came out, and the Donglin people of the Manchu Dynasty naturally would not stare at it like this.

After succeeding to the throne, Zhu Youxiao seems to have inherited all the "shortcomings" of Emperor Wanli, and his innate imperial skills are even more beginning.

Now that Zhu Youxiao has become the Son of Heaven, no matter whether Yang Lian and the others regret it or not, it is impossible to pull him down from that position again.

To tell the truth, although the Donglin Party is currently in the first place in the party struggle, it does not have that ability.

Dongchang was an institution that terrified all the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, regardless of their party affiliation, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor was in charge of the military power of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion.

Jinyi Guard and the Four Guards Battalion, this is Zhu Youxiao's best military power at present.

When Wei Zhongxian was still Li Jinzhong, his reputation for being cruel, vicious, and good at flattery had already spread out of Ouchi, but his power was still very small at that time, and it was not enough to attract the attention of the Donglin bigwigs.

Now that his status is completely different, and he is highly used by the emperor, there is no doubt that Wei Zhongxian will definitely make a big move to show loyalty to Zhu Youxiao.

Just when the Donglin Party was panicking, the second news came.

Although Wei Zhongxian was the commander of the East Factory, it was not the East Factory that came out to arrest people for the first time, but the Beizhen Fusi who had been silent for a long time!

Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, was summoned by the emperor late at night on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and there was really going to be a change!

After Wei Zhongxian was appointed commander of Dongchang, Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyi Wei, was also promoted to the commander of the palm print, and the appearance of these two people made the party struggle even more chaotic.

Liu Qiao is different from Wei Zhongxian, who was delegated power by Zhu Youxiao and can act freely, but he completely obeys the emperor's orders alone, pointing east to east and west to west.

Early in the morning of the fifth day after Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard made Liu Qiao act first.

The criminal department, which was in full array, did not wait for the people sent by Jinyiwei to get the driving sticker, because the Jinyiwei's men and horses had already divided into two ways and went out to get people.

Beizhen Fu Sifa rode all the way to 22 Ti, went straight to Nanjing from Yongdingmen, and arrested Cui Wensheng, the eunuch who helped to abuse and imprison the emperor in the palace transfer case, and corrected the law on the spot.

The other way was led by Liu Qiao himself and went to the home of Fang Xian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Fang Xianren belongs to the Zhejiang Party, not the Donglin lineage, many people don't understand why the emperor wants to arrest him, the Donglin Party people think about it, but they don't know it.

Wei Zhongxian, who was immersed in joy, heard the news, but he broke out in a cold sweat, why Jin Yiwei went to arrest Fang Xian, he knew it.

It seems that this young man is still simple.

Fang Xian's mansion in Beijing was already full of melon-eating people watching the play at this time, and although the people were afraid of Jinyiwei, this could not stop their fiery curiosity.

Beizhen Fusi dispatched a lot of people and horses to surround the Fang Mansion, and a red-clothed brocade-clothed guard governor led by him shouted something internally:

"Take people under the order, open the door quickly, otherwise, we will hit the door!"

"At that time, there will be one more crime of resisting arrest!!"

Originally, Jinyi Wei did not need to command the envoy to go out in person to capture the Beijing officials, but after all, Liu Qiao, like Wei Zhongxian, had just taken the throne and was eager to show his loyalty.

So he had to come this time, and the people he sent out to chase Cui Wensheng were personally led by the other Jinyi Wei Dudu, so there could be no mistake.

The two words fell, and there was still no movement in the Fang Mansion, and the Jinyi Guard Governor made a move, and was about to give the order to knock on the door, but when he turned his head, he saw the three horsemen rushing and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"The humble position is pure, and he is waiting for the commander."

"Why don't you do it yet?" Liu Qiao was a little angry, and waved his hand: "What are you doing in a daze, knock on the door!" ā€

Since you want to take people to prison, there must be a situation of resisting arrest, and the Jinyi guard is also prepared, bows and arrows, fire guns and a sufficient number of men and horses are nothing, and even a cart is pushed by a large wooden mallet, which is specially used to break the door.

Liu Qiao gave an order, and the four captains hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the huge mallet together, and with a hey, they slammed straight into the not very heavy gate of the Fang Mansion.

Only this time, the gate of Fangfu was slammed to the ground, smoke and dust were everywhere, and even if the people around them were far away, they were all frightened.

I don't know how many years I haven't seen such a big battle.

The lieutenants were about to hit again, but they heard a "squeak" sound, and the door was slowly opened from the inside.

"Take people!"

Liu Qiao showed a smile on his face, dismounted and walked into the Fang Mansion.

Xu Xianchun and the others followed, and more captains climbed the surrounding walls with bows and arrows and firearms, and the people in the other party's mansion were eyeing each other.

"Fang Xian, the emperor has an edict that we will put him in prison!" Liu Qiao said loudly, and kept looking around.

Mrs. Fang and the two women of the Fang family who came out didn't speak, they shrank together, and Liu Qiao didn't bother to waste more words with them, pushed one of them away, and walked straight into the main hall.

There was no one in the lobby, but Liu Qiao, who had already surrounded Fang Mansion, was not afraid of people running away, so he sat down on the right seat of Fang Xian on weekdays, and said:

"Search!"

"Yes!"

Xu Xianchun, who had long been ready to go in and wreak havoc, hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted, and then rushed into the boudoir of the two young ladies of the Fang Mansion with his own people first.

Soon, there was a chaotic sound of porcelain being broken and tables and cabinets being knocked down from the inner room of the Fang Mansion, Mrs. Fang frowned, but she still maintained her demeanor, and the two Fang Mansion ladies shrank their necks.

Seeing Liu Qiao's eyes coming, the little one stood back and called out "Mother" in fear.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qiao, who knew that the holy decree was to take Fang Xian to prison alone, not the entire Fang Mansion, put away the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and said lightly:

"Mrs. Fang, are we ordered to take the edict of Fang Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, or tell your master to come out quickly, so as not to affect your mansion again."

As he spoke, Liu Qiao looked at those servants and sneered: "These people died because of your master, are they all willing?" ā€

Mrs. Fang was not afraid of Liu Qiao's threat, and raised her head and said: "My lord is honest and honest, he never forms a party for personal gain, and his subordinates will not wronged good officials!" ā€

"Smack, smack, smack." Liu Qiao applauded and said, "I won't wronged a good official, look at it, how good it is." ā€

As soon as he spoke, he glanced at Xu Xianchun and the others who had just come out of the boudoir.

The latter immediately understood what he meant, and directly put the knife on the neck of the housekeeper of the Fang Mansion, kicked it at his hind legs, and said loudly:

"Say, where are the people hiding?"

"I—I say!" The housekeeper of the Fang Mansion felt the chill on his neck and immediately pointed to the backyard.

Immediately, a group of Beizhen Fusi lieutenants rushed in with knives and guns.
