Early the next morning, Lu Xiangsheng ordered 500 'Tianxiong troops' to go directly to the prefect's yamen, jumped off his horse, and strode into the prefect's office; Cao Ren, the prefect of Datong, received the report early in the morning and hurried out to greet him.

Although Cao Renming is the prefect, he is most afraid of two people in Datong Mansion, one is the Jinyiwei Zhenfu envoy Gao Qiqian, the 'sharp sword' hanging on the head, 'I can't sleep at night, and the next day the head will be gone, whether the Ming Dynasty is an official eunuch or a common person, who is not afraid of Jinyiwei.

The other is Lu Xiangsheng of the General's Mansion, who is a powerful military general in charge of the important town of the Nine Sides, who slaughters people alive when he stares, and kills people without blinking, but he kills all rogues and barbarians, but he Cao Renming can't afford to provoke them.

Therefore, early in the morning, when I heard that Lu Xiangsheng led the army to break into the prefect's yamen, I didn't understand what offended the living king of Yama, so I hurried out to greet him.

"Oops! This is which incense wind invited General Lu to the mansion, come and please! Cao Renming greeted with a smile.

"No need! Lord Cao, I heard that the six doors of the government have arrested some villagers, is there such a thing? Lu Xiangsheng stood with his hands in his hands and asked.

"General Lu is really well-informed, hehe" Cao Renming's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said: "General Lu, don't hide it, this time the six doors captured those are not some villagers, but rogues, all rogues!" ”

"Oh! Roving bandits? So General Ben wants to thank Master Cao? Lu Xiangsheng looked at Cao Renming coldly, and the root of his teeth itched with hatred, so indiscriminate and reckless.

Cao Renming wiped his forehead and hurriedly said, "Where is it, hehe..."

"Presumptuous! Is Lord Cao accusing me of failing to quell the chaos? Lu Xiangsheng shouted angrily.

Cao Renming suddenly trembled with fright, and the six gods had no master, and asked in a trembling voice: "General, calm your anger!" ”

"Humph! Obviously a villager of Pingyao Village, but you refer to the deer as a horse, frame you as a rogue, and you are ashamed to say that you are here to be unashamed, I think your prefect is at the end, believe it or not, I will escort you to Kyoto now, and send it to Dali Temple for trial! Lu Xiangsheng was furious.

Cao Renming's face turned pale suddenly, his body was frail and sifted through the chaff, and he begged for mercy tremblingly: "General Lu, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, misunderstanding!" I'll definitely investigate clearly, investigate clearly! ”

"Humph! No need, hand over those villagers to General Ben, and I will interrogate them myself! ”

"This..." Cao Renming's anxious forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he was bitter in his heart.

"What! Do you really want me to take you to Kyoto? Lu Xiangsheng frightened.

"No, let it go, let it go!" Cao Renming hurriedly shouted at the six doors to catch the head: "Li catcher, quickly pass the six doors to the six door generals Liukou..." Hand over the villagers to General Lu, quick, quick..."

Li Zhutou hurriedly approached the six doors and whispered: "My lord, if you just let it go like this, how can you explain it over there?" ”

"Confess what? Which of them can we get up? Release people, release people quickly! Cao Renming said angrily.

"Alas!" Li Zhutou shook his head helplessly, and led a few six doors to the cell to pick up people.

Leaning slightly, the villagers of Pingyao Village came to the courtyard of the government under the guidance of the six doors to catch the head; Since they were arrested, the villagers of Pingyao Village have long been terrified.

When I saw so many soldiers in front of me, I thought I was going to cut off my head, so I cried and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Alright, you all get up and go with General Ben!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take the villagers away.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng leaving, Cao Renming let out a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead,

On the way, he called the head of Pingyao Village to learn more about the situation of the mine, and after waiting for the mine pass in Pingyao Village, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the village chief and asked: "The robbers you are talking about are here?" ”

"Yes, General, the strongman is inside!" The village chief looked excited, and pointed to the mountain pass and said.

"Come on! Seal the mountain pass tightly, and the rest of the people will follow me in to catch the robbers!" As soon as he sat down on his war horse, Lu Xiangsheng led hundreds of soldiers to rush into the mountain pass.

Datong Mansion Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Si is the most mysterious in Datong Mansion, which makes people talk about the taboo of changing color and daunting; Since the beginning of Emperor Taizu, Jinyiwei has been a symbol of power, supervising civil and military officials on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and patrolling the world, which can be described as a power leaning towards the government and the opposition.

The leaders of the Jinyi Guards are generally served by the emperor's cronies, guards and military generals, and they belong to foreign ministers; The head of the East Factory was served by eunuchs, and they belonged to the ministers; both

Both are centralized institutions, with a combined staff of 200,000 people, covering all state capitals, counties and counties across the country; The emperor established a spy agency independent of the hundred officials, but it was convenient to supervise the hundred officials of the imperial court and stabilize the regime.

Because Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang was deeply trusted by the emperor, the power of Jinyiwei fell to Dongchang, so most of the people in power in Jinyiwei were served by eunuchs.

Jinyiwei is in charge of the prison, guards are on duty, exercise the power of patrol and arrest, and engage in reconnaissance, arrest, and accountability; The main functions of Dongchang are criminal prison interrogation and social surveillance, and it can supervise the arrest of subjects at will, and is responsible for investigating the words and deeds of subjects.

Gao Qi sat in the middle of the house, his face was sinking like water, he picked up the purple clay pot on the table in front of him, took a sip of fragrant tea, squinted his eyes slightly, and listened to the report of a brocade guard!

"Lord Zhenfu, Guangchang County has finished reporting!" Jinyi Wei Baihu hugged his fists and bowed.

Glancing at the brocade guards standing quietly on both sides, Gao Qiqian put down the purple clay pot in his hand, and said sharply: "You are all in charge of the Jinyi Wei thousands of households and hundreds of households in Datong Mansion, in charge of the edict and prison, and the responsibility of inspection and arrest, Datong Mansion has today's prosperity, political communication and harmony, and you are indispensable, and the envoy of this town will speak for you in front of the factory governor!" ”

"Lord Xie Zhenfu!" A group of brocade guards bowed in unison;

The envoy of Jinyiwei Town, Datong Prefecture, has jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Hunyuan, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Wei, as well as seven counties and counties of Datong, Huairen, Mayi, Shanyin, Guangling, Lingqiu and Guangchang; The four state capitals respectively set up a thousand households in Jinyiwei, governed by hundreds of households, general flags, and small flags, and thousands of captains, and each of the following counties has a hundred households.

"That's it!" Gao raised his hand lazily and slightly.

"Pacify the envoy!" Datong Mansion Thousand Households Duan Hai bowed down, Datong Mansion is an important town on the nine sides, garrisoned by three thousand brocade guards, and there are three thousand households.

"Hmm!" Gao Qiqian raised his eyes and looked at Duan Hai.

"Lord Huizhen Fu Envoy, early this morning, the General's Mansion dispatched five hundred 'Tianxiong Army' to raid the prefect's yamen, forcibly took away the mob of Pingyao Village from the six gates, and has now blocked the Pingyao Village coal mine!" Qianhu Duan Haiyu reports.

Gao Qi submerged his words, his face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! This Lu Xiangsheng is becoming more and more lawless, in broad daylight, he dares to be so rampant, when our family is a decoration, it is simply unreasonable! ”

"Your Excellency!" Duan Hai thought for a long time, and said cautiously: "That coal mine is said to be ••••••"

"What is it?"

"It is said to be the property of the young master of Kaohsiung!"

"What?" Duan Hai immediately sat up straight, put the tea cup on the table with a 'bang', and said angrily: "This little cub is angry with our family, this little ancestor wants to destroy our family!" ”

"Your Excellency! The young master is behind the scenes, and there is an agent operating the mining industry on the surface, and this matter does not involve the young master! Duan Hai hurriedly explained.

"Humph! The mining industry was an important armament material for the imperial court, and although it was lucrative, it was the most prone to crime; In recent years, barbarian merchants outside the border have tried every means to reverse the transportation of mineral materials and expand the armament of the Jin army, which is extremely hateful! Gao Qiqian was furious, looked at Duan Hai and said coldly:

"You want to get rid of those people in the mine, cut off hidden dangers, and the factory superintendent orders to strictly investigate mineral smuggling, and violators will be killed!"

"Subordinates obey!" Qianhu Duan Hai bowed down to receive the order.

In the Pingyao Village Coal Mine, Lu Xiangsheng led the 'Tianxiong Army' into the Shankou Coal Mine, took control and detained all the cadres and other people in the area, and counted the inventory and made a record; when he found that there was a large amount of kerosene (kerosene) in stock in the warehouse, he was overjoyed for a while, and as a general who marched and fought a war, the fire oil was an important strategic material.

After all arrangements were made, Lu Xiangsheng interrogated the person in charge of the mine and interrogated him; The man in charge of the mine calmly faced that he was the person in charge of the mine, and applied to the Yamen of the prefect of Datong Prefecture to report and receive the mining license according to the normal process.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng announced the requisition of the Pingyao Village Coal Mine and the confiscation of all strategic materials on the grounds of wartime management regulations, and the mining license issued by the Yamen of Datong Prefecture was invalidated due to wartime control and became a piece of waste paper; All those involved in the development of the mine will be acquitted.

The man in charge of the mine was helpless, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had to hold his breath secretly, and led forty or fifty people from the mine to leave the Pingyao Village Coal Mine in despair.

It was evening when Dahan came out of the mine, and along the way, by the moonlight, he led everyone in the direction of Datong Mansion, thinking about how to go back to the master!

While thinking about it, I saw a horse team galloping head-on from the official road of Datong Mansion, and the big man was startled, and hurriedly dispersed on the side of the road with everyone, watching and watching.

When the horse team got closer, he saw that the person who was coming was the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Duan Hai; Dahan was immediately overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Qianhu, you can count it, the Pingyao Village Coal Mine was forcibly requisitioned by the General's Mansion, you have to call the shots for us!" ”

Duan Hai came on the order of Gao Qiqian, the envoy of Jinyi Weizhen, and when he heard what the big man said, he smiled and said, "Why did the General's Mansion let you come back?" ”

"Lord Qianhu, I have the mining license given by the young master in my hand, and the general's mansion can't help us, but it's a pity that there is so much coal and oil, you must administer justice for the young master!" The big man pleaded.

Duan Hai smiled gloomily and said coldly: "Hmm! I will do justice to you now! ”

Dahan was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed down and was rude, and said excitedly: "Xie Qianhu ••••••!" ”

Without waiting for the big man to finish speaking, Duan Hai raised his knife and slashed the big man in front of the horse, and the big man was confused and became an unjust ghost; After killing the big man, Duan Hai's eyes twisted, waved his hand and said coldly: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”
