Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Night of Bloodshed in the Capital (Part II)

After Sun Yingyuan evacuated the Fan Mansion with the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, one of the thousand households of Jinyiwei asked Li Tingbiao and said, "My lord, what about the other people and property in the Fan Mansion?" ”

"Your first day at work?" Li Tingbiao glanced at this Qianhu with displeasure, and said expressionlessly: "The Fan family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, resisted arrest with a knife, all the remnants of the Fan Mansion were killed on the spot, and all the valuable things were taken away!" ”

Before Li Tingbiao left, he said again: "Hurry up, we will have to go to Xicheng later, and invite those officials and masters to the Imperial Prison as guests......

After the order was given, there was silence in Fan Mansion at first, followed by exclamations and strange screams, and from time to time the sound of these metals colliding came out.

It didn't take long for Fan Fuzhong to calm down completely, and the thick smell of blood continued to spread in the sultry air.

Except for the Fan Mansion, all the mansions of the Eight Great Jin Merchants in the capital division were all bloodstained, and the smell of blood could not be dispersed for a long time.

After the east city, followed by the official settlement of the west city, a large number of Jinyi guards, under the leadership of some Jinyi guards, went straight to the mansions of those officials who colluded with the eight Jin merchants.

A team of brocade guards kept banging on the door of the offending official's house, shouting loudly, but whenever they encountered someone who did not open the door for a long time, the brocade guards directly climbed over the wall and went in, in the name of resisting arrest, and killed anyone they saw.

The officials who opened the door in time to cooperate with the arrest were lucky to escape, but they were sent to prison.

For a while, the whole Xicheng was also jumping with chickens and dogs, and some officials were curious and asked the family to come out to inquire about the news, but as soon as they came out of the gate, they were scolded back by Jinyi Wei Yangdao.

Some family members relied on their lord to be a senior official in the DPRK and China, and ignored Jinyiwei, and died a miserable death.......

Some of the officials who committed the crime were pale and their eyes were bloodshot, and they did not dare to close their eyes all night, for fear that the brocade guards would rush into the house and pull themselves out of the bedroom bare-chested.

The western city was followed by the southern city and the northern city, and the peripheral personnel of the Jinyi Guard were dispatched one after another, according to the information collected during the day, to ruthlessly exterminate the green-skinned hooligans who assisted the eight Jin merchants in spreading rumors and targeting the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Overnight, the city was filled with the sound of footsteps, the roar of horses' hooves, and the screams of some people before they died........

The brocade guards who participated in the action were full of passion, as if a small universe had exploded in their hearts, and it had not been so exciting as today for many years!

Since that sand sculpture Luo Yang came to power, Jinyi Wei has become a fucking virtue, how can he be so happy to follow Master Li now!

According to incomplete statistics, on this night, the Yongwei Battalion and the Jinyi Guard killed more than 1,500 merchants, family members, and guards of the Eight Great Jin Dynasty, more than 2,000 Qingpi hooligans, and more than 800 court officials and their families, including more than 70 officials below the fourth grade.

The officials of the imperial court were basically killed by Jinyiwei, and the Yongwei battalion was only responsible for the grain depot of the eight Jin merchants in Dongcheng, as long as Jinyiwei received an order, he was not afraid of killing anyone, let alone his reputation or anything.

In their hearts, the reputation of our Jinyiwei is not good, and it doesn't matter how dark it is now, as long as we kill it coolly!

The Yongwei battalion is different, they are an army, and it will be a big trouble to kill the minister in the Beijing division, and if you don't do it, you will be labeled as a mutiny, so Zhu Cihong will let the main force of this operation be carried out by the Jinyi Guard under Li Tingbiao.

By four o'clock in the morning (two o'clock in the morning), the city of Beijing had gradually quieted down, and the five-hour operation was nearing its end.

A large group of people walked out of the Dezhuang hot pot on Qipan Street, and they went straight to Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town.

In the outer prison of Fusi in Weibei Town, Jinyi Weibei Town, a large number of officials and the main persons in charge of the Eight Great Jin Merchants in the capital were imprisoned, and most of them had just been sent tonight.

Jinyiwei's inner prison, that is, the real edict, can only be imprisoned if the emperor personally issues an edict to convict him, and generally the high-ranking officials of Jiuqing and the county guard level of 2,000 stone are eligible to enter.

At this time, the edict prison was heavily guarded, guarded by dozens of brocade guards, and Zhu Cihong and his party needed to be inspected layer by layer even if they carried the seal of the East Palace.

"Has the edict always been so strict?" Zhu Cihong asked Li Tingbiao beside him.

Li Tingbiao said: "No, although the security is strict on weekdays, it is not like now, and now these guards are only deployed in the past two days, mainly because there is a big man in the edict prison, and His Majesty personally ordered to take care of him....."

Zhu Cihong asked curiously: "Who?" The face is so big? ”

Li Tingbiao said: "Gao Yingxiang! ”

"He's already here?" Zhu Cihong was slightly shocked in his heart, he usually helped to read the chapters, according to Sun Chuanting's report, it would take at least one day for the army to escort Gao Yingxiang to arrive in Beijing, but he didn't expect it to be secretly sent to the capital a few days in advance.

Then I thought about it, this emperor Lao Tzu was really cautious, for fear that Gao Yingxiang would have an accident and be robbed.

"Originally, there was this uncle, and the Imperial Prison will no longer accept newcomers in the near future, and it took a lot of effort to arrange the eight traitor chief stewards into the Imperial Prison......" Li Tingbiao complained a little.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Oh? Is it because of the face of this palace that you opened the back door for these traitors? ”

Li Ting smiled, and at the same time was very disgusted with the eight traitor stewards, feeling that having them would simply lower the level of the edict.

Zhu Cihong was not interested in seeing Gao Yingxiang, and he probably didn't let him see it, so he directly asked Li Tingbiao to lead the way and meet the chief stewards of the eight traitor families.

came to Fan Yongshan's "private room" in the edict prison, and Zhu Cihong stared at the extremely uneasy Fan Siye.

Fan Yongshan was a little curious when he saw the appearance of the visitor, and it didn't take long for him to guess in his heart, and he said, "You should be the crown prince." ”

Zhu Cihong didn't answer him, he still stared at him, and finally stared at Fan Yongshan's heart a little hairy.

After a long time, Zhu Cihong spoke: "You collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, do you know how many people have been ruined because of your eight animal families!" ”

Fan Yongshan said: "Hehe, our eight families have been operating in Shanxi for hundreds of years, can you shake it with a small baby?" Even the current emperor doesn't dare to touch us at all, little prince, you better take it easy, don't become your emperor Lao Tzu as a victim of pacifying our eight families, hahaha! ”

A brocade guard picked up an iron whip and slapped it on Fan Yongshan's body, and said angrily: "Dog thing! When you are a traitor, you dare to be so arrogant! ”

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Sooner or later, this palace will kill all you dog traitors!" ”

Fan Yongshan was in pain, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyebrows moved slowly, a miserable smile appeared on his pale face, and then he laughed loudly: "Traitor? Hehe, among the nine sides, not only our Shanxi Eight Masters who fornicated with the Manchus, Shaanxi, Xuanfu, Liaodong, etc., where were there no businessmen who fornicated with the Manchus? This is a tacit thing for everyone, a huge chain of interests has been formed decades ago, so many officials and businessmen, can you kill them? ”

"Do you know how many officials in the capital are facing us? From the cabinet ministers, the eunuchs in the palace, to the chief patrol, can you arrest them? Not to mention that our base camp Shanxi has long been like an iron bucket, and if the imperial court wants to gnaw it, I am afraid that it will break a few teeth! ”

"I'm just a side of the Fan family, you kill me, our head of the family is just changing the person in charge in the capital......"

Zhu Cihong frowned after hearing this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't bother to look at Fan Yongshan again, turned to leave, and then waved his hand and said, "Drag it away!" Before the early dynasty, let him confess, spit out everything he knew, and remember not to play people to death! ”

Li Tingbiao immediately said: "Yes! Your Highness, don't worry, it's hard to die if you go to prison, I let him walk from the ghost gate three times a day, and he can live for another thirty years! ”

"Live so long to feed you? After the matter is over, it will be cleaned up, and this kind of person is a waste of air to live! Zhu Cihong said a little unhappily.

The torture in the edict prison is not only terrible, but also the strength of the grasp is also very accurate, during the Wanli period, Qian Ruogeng, the prefect of Linjiang, was imprisoned for 37 years because he offended the powerful.

In the edict prison, Qian Ruogeng's blood was exhausted...... Pus and blood are dripping, limbs are bloated, sores are full of poison, and there are foot tumors, and he is dead in every step, his ears are not heard, his eyes are not seen, his hands cannot be moved, his feet cannot walk, and there is still a little qi in his throat, and he seems not to be dead, but in fact it is no different from death......

During Qian Ruogeng's imprisonment, his one-year-old son Qian Jingzhong gradually grew up and passed the Jinshi examination.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse thanked Qian Jingzhong for his father's grievances, please take his own place, his feelings are sad, so he saved Qian Ruogeng from death, returned to the township, and said to Qian Jingzhong: "You will live up to your father, and you will live up to me in the future." ”

More than 20 years later, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing soldiers went south, Qian Jingzhong happened to fall ill and refused to take medicine and died, which can be regarded as not losing the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After getting out of the edict prison, Xu Sheng, who was beside Zhu Cihong, looked back at the majestic edict prison building, and said with emotion: "I really miss the days when I worked here!" ”

As he spoke, he also deliberately glanced at Li Tingbiao, and after Li Tingbiao heard this, he flew up and kicked at Xu Sheng, scolding: "Get out!" ”
