After coming out of the Xianju Building, Chunxiang's carriage went all the way south along the Nanxiao Street in Chaoyangmen, because of the cold night in the night, pedestrians on the street were rare, and the snow foam in the air became more and more compact with the cold wind

Li Dong, the eunuch who was driving the car, shrunk his neck, but his eyes were extremely vigilant: "Gonggong Chun, do you want to go to Chongwenmen?" ”

Inside the car, Chunxiang whispered, and gently wiped the steel knife in his hand, this knife has not seen the sky since returning from Taiyuan, nor has he seen blood.

Tonight, hey...... Someone is here to feed the knife!

The wheels rustled in the snow, there was no human language outside the window, there was always a cold wind whistling, but Chunxiang looked extremely excited, although his arm was not completely healed, but with a knife in his hand, it seemed to be back on the battlefield, fighting side by side with Chang Yu.

"Spring Father"

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Li Dong heard a low roar.

Here it comes!

Chunxiang had a sneer on his face, pulled the curtain in front of the car, and saw that Li Donggang's knife was already in his hand, and more than ten meters in front of the carriage, there were five masked men.

Looking around left and right, I saw that the carriage stopped in front of Nanxiao Street and Zongpu Hutong, and I couldn't help but be angry, these people are really bold and reckless, and they are simply lawless.

Zongpu Hutong is the general name of today's East and West Zongbu Hutong, which was changed to the headquarters Hutong during the Qianlong period, and was divided into East and West Zongbu when Xuantong is still used today.

When it belongs to the Ming Shi Fang, what is the Fang? Similar to today's street district committee, Ming Chengzu built the capital of Beijing when a total of 28 squares, to Jiaqing to expand the capital of a total of 36 squares.

What is a shop? It is a division unit in the local armor protection system in the Ming Dynasty. According to the "Wan Department Miscellaneous Records" recorded: "the city of the place to the square as the key", the square under the card, under the card shop, "see the line in the city of each square, with the number of dwellings, divided into a number of shops, each shop to stand shop, three or five firemen, and unified to the total A". The head shop, that is, the place of the general director. The general shop alley should be the total A of the nearby alleys.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to these people doing it in front of the village joint defense team, this is not what it is bold!

"What do you want?" Chunxiang jumped out of the car with a knife, looked left and right, and saw that there were three masked black-clothed men two zhang away from the back of the car.

"Send you back to the West!" The voice of the person in front of the car was cold.

Haha, Chunxiang laughed angrily: "The Son of Heaven dares to commit murder at his feet, you are really impatient to live" said the steel knife in his hand, and the murderous aura spread all over his body.

If you have been on the battlefield, you have killed people is different, following Chang Yu's thousands of troops and horses, he has killed a few in and out, and he has seen Chunxiang with a mountain of corpses, and he is not afraid of these seven or eight people.

But Li Dong was visibly nervous.

"Do it!" Seeing Chunxiang's momentum like this, the black-clothed man couldn't help but shudder, and then let out a low roar and took the lead in rushing towards Chunxiang.

"It's good" Chunxiang roared, and as he spoke, he faced the black-clothed masked man in front of him and slashed it away......

"Kill, kill" Li Dong shouted at the top of his throat while swinging his knife to fight, he was indeed afraid, but it was also a tactic, because those killers were more afraid of his screams.

The screams resounded in the night sky, and there was already movement in the surrounding neighborhoods, and at this time, three people quickly rushed out of the main shop alley, also carrying the guy in their hands, and joined the battle group directly without saying a word.

"Father-in-law Chun atoned for his sins, and it was too late for his humble position," the three of them whispered while fighting.

"It's not too late, it's just right, it's all slaughtered for our family" Chunxiang shouted, cut down one person, and pounced on another killer.

With eight to five, these killers were menacing, but they didn't take advantage of it, and almost within a few breaths of Chunxiang's three helpers joining the battle, several people were cut down, and then they fled.

How can it be so easy to escape, Chunxiang sneered, reached out and put it in his mouth and whistled sharply.

Not long after, two brocade guards hurriedly ran over: "Father-in-law Chun, the brothers have blocked it, they can't escape!" ”

Chunxiang sneered, looked at the four corpses on the ground, and one of them seemed to still have a breath, so he stepped on his chest and reached out to tear off the face towel: "Our Hou Er has been waiting for a long time."

You Dao Chunxiang is idle, it's okay, the cold wind is blowing at night, just running Xianju Lou and Fang Ba, those two sentences are light? Or is he really suffocating in the palace and coming out to relax?

Naturally not.

As soon as Chunxiang returned to Beijing, he was immediately summoned by the prince to Duanben Palace (Prince East Palace) for secret discussion after entering the palace.

If you talk about who Chang Yu is closest to in the palace, except for Chunxiang, he is the prince, and if you talk about who the prince is closest to in the palace, there is no one else in Shiyu, even his father can't compare.

Therefore, Chunxiang is Chang Yu's close partner, and Zhu Cihong naturally wants him to go to Duanben Palace to explain in detail all Chang Yu's actions after leaving the palace, even if he has already arranged eyeliner, he can grasp Chang Yu's every move through the secret report.

Chunxiang did not disappoint Zhu Cihong, starting from leaving Beijing, meeting thieves on the road, to how Xuanda fought wits and courage with those local snakes, how to avoid assassination, how to capture Jiang Xuan, how to arrange it in Taiyuan, how to infiltrate the enemy camp to assassinate Li Laiheng, how to fake surrender, how to set up a situation, etc., Zhu Cihong, who listened directly, was surging and uncomfortable, and kept pacing in the hall, his eyebrows fluttered, and his mouth whispered from time to time: "Chang Yu is good, Chang Yu is good, really, really enjoyable......"

Chunxiang in front of him is like a storyteller, and the content he says is far more exciting than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin he has heard.

But when he calmed down, he also had to remind Chunxiang that Chang Yu had offended too many people, and there were countless people in the government and the opposition who wanted him to die, and even affected Chiyu, and even Chunxiang and other henchmen were in the other party's plan.

Too many people want to kill Chang Yu and then be fast, this Chunxiang knows, but he doesn't think that he is also honored to be implicated.

Try not to go out of the palace, this is the first thing Chunxiang thought of, he didn't believe that anyone in the palace dared to attack him, his buddy Chang Yu is the boss of the East Factory, even the Jinyi Guard has to be ordered, the entire Twenty-four Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office is all rushing, which dare not be long-sighted.

But when he went out of the palace to Jiangmi Lane to find Song Siyang, he found that he was being followed, which made him think about it very carefully, Jiangmi Lane is outside the Daming Gate, a stone's throw away from the palace, and he was targeted at such a short distance, it can be seen that although the other party did not dare to start in the palace, he already had eyeliner and was waiting for the right time.

After returning to the palace, Chunxiang immediately started to arrange, as the brother who carried the handle of the East Factory, he could naturally mobilize the manpower of the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

deliberately went out of the palace a few times during the day, and sure enough, someone followed him every time, which made him sure that the prince's words were not groundless, and it also made him determined to break this pus.

After only half a cup of tea, a brocade guard came to report: two of the four people who escaped were killed, two were captured, and they asked to be released.

Chunxiang pondered for a while: "Escorted to the Yamen of Dongchang and tortured overnight."

Jinyiwei and Dongchang as the emperor's two sharp blades, not like other pro-army yamen scattered in the capital, that is attached to the imperial city, Jinyiwei's north and south town Fu Division is at the main gate of the imperial city, the west side of the thousand-step corridor, adjacent to the five military governor's mansion, the current Great Hall of the People.

The yamen of Dongchang is in the northeast corner of the imperial city, that is, the Dongchang Hutong that now runs through Wangfujing to the Forbidden City, and the name of the alley is also because of the Dongchang Yamen.

There is a reason why Chunxiang brought these people to the Yamen of Dongchang instead of going to the Yamen of Jinyiwei.

First, he identified himself as a person from Dongchang, and secondly, the Dongchang Yamen had been almost forgotten over the years, and it was time for Dongshan to make a comeback.

The two killers were escorted to the Yamen of the East Factory by the Jinyi Guard, and Chunxiang did not follow, he was still sober about his position, although Chang Yu was the boss of the East Factory, he was nothing, there was no reason to point fingers in the past, and he would leave someone to Chang Yu in vain.

"A few brothers thank you," Chunxiang hugged his fists and thanked the three strong men who came to help.

"It is our honor to be able to serve Father-in-law Chun" These three people are Guan Haishan, Jiang Feng and Yu Guoqiao, Chang Yu found several masters in the boxing match from the pro-guard army, and they were actually found by Chunxiang to secretly protect themselves.

Chunxiang smiled slightly, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Guan Haishan: "Brothers, take it to drink."

Guan Haishan and a few people refused, they didn't want to live or die, the three of them had to be supported by Chang Yu, and they also made a lot of money in the palace during this time, and helping Chunxiang was to help Chang Yu, and it was also for the prince and the emperor, how could they dare to collect money again.

"Wine money! Go and warm up on a cold day on a cold day" Chunxiang followed Chang Yu for a while, and subtly learned a lot of things, such as no one should help you! What's more, people work hard for you.

Seeing Chunxiang's black face, Guan Haishan had no choice but to accept the silver, and thanked him again and again: "Father-in-law Chun, where will you go later?" Inferior escorts for a ride".

"No need" Chunxiang waved his hand: "You guys go back early, let's blow the wind again."

"Humble resignation" Guan Haishan knew that people still had something to do, and it was inconvenient for them to follow, so he left very interestingly.

After a few people left, Chunxiang got into the car, and Li Dong drove south until he reached Chongwenmen.

"What for?" The gatekeeper roared loudly at the brazier in the doorway.

Li Dong got out of the car, took out an object, and then whispered a few words, and the soldiers guarding the gate immediately opened the city gate respectfully, and the carriage immediately left the inner city.
