Chapter Eighty-Five: The Night is Dark and the Wind is High, and the Night of Murder
Under the guidance of the servants of the Fan family, Lu Xiangsheng soon met Fan Chengyin who was hiding in the secret room.
With the help of Jinyiwei, it didn't take much effort, and Fan Chengyin quickly spit out the location of the Fan family's silver collection.
Of course, even if he didn't say it, Lu Xiangsheng had a way to accurately find the location of the silver collection, and when he came, Zhu Youzhen gave Lu Xiangsheng a few metal detectors.
This thing is used for security checks on the ship, but Zhu Youzhen used it to find silver, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
In order not to miss every possible place to hide silver, Lu Xiangsheng ordered people to use a metal detector to sweep around the Fan family's old mansion three times.
After finding a few more Tibetan silver spots that Fan Chengyin had not told in advance, Fan Chengyin's ten white and tender fingers were instantly clamped into purple eggplants.
However, this is also likely to be a wrongful accusation against Fan Chengyin, after all, the Fan family has a big business and many mansions, and it is impossible for Fan Chengyin to know all the hidden silver points.
Moreover, there are indeed many silver pits in the Fan family, in the cellar, in the wall, and under the ancient trees, but there are more than a dozen silver points of more than 100,000 taels.
According to rough estimates, the Fan family's silver is more than 100,000 taels.
And in addition to the silver, there are also a lot of gold and silver ornaments, judging from the bloodstains on them, these ornaments should have been looted by the Tartars.
After leaving a team of sergeants to count and take care of the dirty silver, Lu Xiangsheng divided his troops into three routes and rushed to Pingyao, Taigu and Qixian respectively, and wiped out the other seven families one by one.
At the same time, in Xuanfu City, an arrest operation was unfolding around Jin Liangyu, Wang Dengku, Liang Guest, and Huang Yunfa.
Set off on the same day as the new army, and three days ago, Luo Yangxing led a team of brocade guards to Xuanfu quietly.
According to the report of Jinyiwei in Xuanfu's station, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dengku, Liang Guest, Huang Yunfa and others have been active in Xuanfu City recently, while Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and others have not appeared in Xuanfu recently.
According to further reconnaissance, Fan Yongdou and Tian Shenglan should have gone to Kouwai at the beginning of the year, while Wang Dayu and Zhai Tang returned to their hometown in Shanxi.
After listening to Xuanfu Jinyiwei's report, Luo Yangxing looked regretful, Fan Yongdou, the head of the eight families in Shanxi, happened to be outside his mouth.
With Lu Xiangsheng's new army here, Wang Dayu and Zhai Tang, who returned to their hometown in Shanxi, should not be able to escape, but let Fan Yongdou and Tian Shenglan escape the catastrophe, Luo Yangxing looked not angry.
"His grandmother has a leg, it's a good fate for these two old boys!"
Luo Yang took a sip, and then gave the order to act.
When it was night, Luo Yangxing led the team of brocade guards to divide into four routes, and at the same time raided the mansions of Jin Liangyu, Wang Dengku, Liang Guest, Huang Yunfa and others in Xuanfu.
There are more than 50 Jinyi guards who came to perform the mission with Luo Yangxing this time, and they are part of Zhu Youzhen's royal guards.
The Royal Guard was formed by Zhu Youzhen in accordance with the model of the special forces of later generations, and it was very strict from personnel selection to daily training to actual combat confrontation.
It can be said that Zhu Youzhen's current royal guard of more than 50 people has gathered the elites of military towns such as Liaodong, Dongjiang, Jizhen, and Xuanda.
These more than 50 people are all veterans who have fought several tough battles, and each of them has a few lives in their hands, and it is no exaggeration to fight empty-handed.
During the selection, Zhu Youzhen saw with his own eyes that one person beat ten ordinary soldiers until they couldn't get up, and the one-zhang high wall, three people supported each other and climbed up empty-handed.
Moreover, these people are not only strong in martial arts, but also rely on rich battlefield experience, and their on-the-spot reaction and psychological quality are also good.
In addition, in terms of equipment, Zhu Youzhen also tried his best to do the best at the current technical level.
Each guard is equipped with two handcuffs, a steel blade, a crossbow, and two grenades.
Although this equipment could not be compared with the modern special forces, in the early seventeenth century, it was all properly high-tech, and the steel blade alone was two centuries ahead of the famous Japanese sword of this time.
These guards selected by Zhu Youzhen were originally the elite of the elites of the various armies, and after a month of running-in, they needed an operation to test the results of the training, so half of the royal guards were sent by Zhu Youzhen.
In the dark night, more than a dozen brocade guards dressed in nocturnal clothes quietly came to Jin Liangyu's mansion.
According to the prior arrangement, two people were left outside the wall to answer, and the other two quickly climbed onto the roof of Jin's house and occupied the commanding heights.
The remaining six people climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, alternately covering against the wall, and left sergeants to guard important places to gauge the way back.
Soon, the three sergeants came to the outside of the main house where Jin Liangyu slept tonight,
After putting down a small servant guarding the door, the three of them made a rushing gesture and kicked the door open.
After entering, he saw a man and a woman lying on the big bed, Jin Liangyu looked at the three black-clothed people who were uninvited with a frightened face, and just as he was about to shout, a black-clothed man stepped forward and knocked the two of them out directly with one hand.
A man in black blew up the fire fold in his hand, carefully identified the drawing, and after making sure that Qin Liangyu was undoubted, he tied it up and put it into a sack prepared in advance.
Then a stout man in black picked it up and began to retreat.
All the way to the sergeant who met the handle of the key point, he saw several maids and maids all fall to the ground.
The sergeant in the dark showed a mouthful of big white teeth, indicating that it was a maid who had gotten up at night, and everyone saw that they did not speak, and rushed to the receiving place in front and back.
After two night owl calls, the two sergeants who were on fire support on the roof also began to retreat.
In a quarter of an hour, the arrest of Jin Liangyu was over.
After the group of sergeants rushed back to Jinyiwei's stronghold in Xuanfu, they saw that the other teams of sergeants had returned.
"Leng Feng, you're coming back late."
Luo Yang said teasingly.
The man named Leng Feng scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Alas, the Jin Mansion is a bit big, I didn't touch the right place at the beginning, I am willing to gamble and lose, and I will treat you when I return to Beijing."
Seeing that the candidate for the treat was confirmed, everyone laughed.
"That's right."
A man from the other pair made a joke about Leng Feng again.
"you, Black Ice."
Leng Feng gave the man a punch, and then untied the sack with his hand, exposing Jin Liangyu's head.
"Okay, yes, this mission was a complete success, after returning to Beijing, I will hold a banquet for everyone in the Qilin Tower, and Your Majesty will give me a jar of good wine."
As soon as they heard the wine given by His Majesty, the sergeants immediately cheered.
And in the midst of this cheer, there was a whining sound.
Jin Liangyu woke up, and then looked at this group of strong people who were covered in black, thinking that he had been kidnapped by bandits, so he yelled.
The cheering sergeants were suddenly silent when they saw this, and looked at Leng Feng one by one.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Leng Feng was suddenly a little embarrassed, but then with a palm, the world suddenly became quiet again.
"Haha, sloppy."
Leng Feng smiled, revealing his two iconic tiger teeth.
