In the evening, ten miles of poplar forest outside the Yongtai Gate of the South Gate, Fuerhai led people to wait here early, ready to trade to receive the second batch of materials, last night Dodd has successfully traded the first batch of materials, detoured to the poplar forest, and went west to the Yellow River Wharf to board the ship, and now the boat has sailed down the river, out of the realm of Datong Mansion.

At this moment, from the direction of Yongtai Gate, the south gate of Datong Mansion, a group of carriages slowly drove towards the direction of the poplar forest, Fu Erhai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal his subordinates to prepare to receive supplies.

Leaning slightly, the creaking sound of the carriage came into the poplar forest, and Forsea hurriedly took the torches from his men's hands, shook them clockwise three times towards the horse team, and issued a code;

Last night, he was ordered by Kaohsiung to lead ten Jinyi Wei's personal cronies to change into plain clothes, escort the first batch of trading materials, and complete the transaction with Dodd; This is the second and final transaction.

Along the way, Duan Hai prayed silently in his heart that after this mission was completed, he would be able to sit back and relax; For so many years, he has used his position to smuggle for Kaohsiung, but he is also forced to be helpless, and the reason why he can become a Jinyi guard is because he has escorted smuggled contraband materials for Kaohsiung again and again.

At this moment, when I came to the poplar forest, I saw the other party playing a code word, and my heart suddenly tightened, carefully observed the situation around the poplar forest, and after confirming the safety, I took the torch in the hands of my subordinates, shook it three times counterclockwise, and then waited in place in a nervous mood.

Seeing this, Fu Erhai was overjoyed, and hurriedly led his men out of the poplar forest, came to the front of the horse team, and said, "You have worked hard! ”

Duan Hai arched his hand and said: "Inspection transaction!" ”

Hearing this, Fuerhai hurriedly walked forward to check one car after another, and after checking the last car, he came to Duan Haima and arched his hand: "The inspection is complete, here is 500,000 taels of silver tickets, please check!" ”

Duan Hai leaned over and took the silver ticket and nodded, nodded with satisfaction: "After the handover, according to the old rules, the payment will be cleared twice, and you will not be responsible!" ”

"Go your separate ways, farewell!" Forsea arched his hand and said.

"Sue..." Duan Hai arched his hand, and was just about to turn the horse's head to leave, his face changed instantly, his mouth opened, and a pair of eyes stared at the poplar forest, secretly screaming in his heart!

At this time, from the poplar forest, hundreds of elite soldiers rushed out, holding steel knives, overwhelmingly outflanking the horse team; Duan Hai was so frightened that the six gods were gone, and his face was extremely pale;

Under the crisis of the situation, Duan Hai stared coldly, didn't care about anything else, resolutely pulled out his long knife, and ordered Jinyiwei to "The wind is tight, evacuate!" Hurriedly turned the horse's head and tried to escape, but when he turned around and looked, he couldn't help but sink to the bottom, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

I saw hundreds of light cavalry horses appearing from the direction of Yongtai Gate, and the person at the head was Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the 'Tianxiong Army'.

Forhai was already trembling with fright, and he was crying bitterly in his heart, last night was obviously safe and sound, and the transaction was completed smoothly, why did so many troops suddenly appear now.

Lu Xiangsheng ambushed the infantry in the depths of the poplar forest in advance, and blocked the poplar forest intersection when they began to trade in Fuerhai; In order not to arouse the vigilance of both sides of the transaction, Lu Xiangsheng personally led the light cavalry to ambush outside the city, and when the transaction between the two parties was completed, he led the light cavalry to block the retreat of Duan Hai and others.

"Listen, everyone, put down your weapons and hold your head in both hands, otherwise you will be killed!" Li Hu, the general of the Tianxiong Army, shouted loudly, and then waved his hand, and the subordinate archers immediately pulled the bowstring, aimed at the personnel on both sides of the transaction, and shot them on the spot as long as they resisted slightly.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Fu Erhai hurriedly hugged his head and squatted down, his back was already soaked with sweat, his legs kept trembling, and dozens of people under him squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Duan Hai's eyes showed a look of despair, he clenched the long knife in his hand, his heart was horizontal, and he wanted to apologize with death, but as soon as the long knife was raised, he heard Lu Xiangsheng say coldly: "If you want to die, I won't stop you, you can only die if you understand it, you know the rules of Jinyiwei better than me!" ”

The long knife raised was less than an inch away from his neck, and when Duan Hai heard this, the hand holding the knife stopped instantly! Yes, as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, he knows best that in this case, death is not terrible, only after he dies, Gao Qiqian will inevitably wipe him out; As long as he is alive, Gao Qiqian will inevitably throw a mouse trap and dare not hurt his family.

If it is against the enemy, even if the enemy is killed in battle, the Dongchang Jinyi Guard will properly settle his family afterwards; However, he is now violating the iron law of Dongchang Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to funding the enemy country, although everyone is afraid of Dongchang Jinyiwei, but it is definitely the main battle faction, and for those who collaborate with the enemy and traitor, punish the nine clans!

Duan Hai lowered his arm weakly, sighed, and said to the ten Jinyi Wei cronies under him: "Don't be fearless and resist!" ”

"My lord, I will protect you to the death and fight your way out of the encirclement!" Jin Yiwei's cronies looked at him decisively, and said in unison.

Duan Hai glanced at everyone, smiled, shook his head and said, "After being arrested, don't admit that you are Jinyiwei, or you can save your family's lives!" Alas, one misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred! With a 'bang', the long knife in Duan Hai's hand fell to the ground.

After collecting the materials and escorting a group of prisoners, Lu Xiangsheng did not go back to the general's mansion directly, but all went straight to the direction of the barracks; After all, the Jinyi guards in Datong Mansion are all over the city, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is safest to detain the prisoners in the military camp.

Striking while the iron was hot, Lu Xiangsheng interrogated Duan Hai and Fu Erhai overnight, no matter what kind of torture equipment was on, Duan Hai and other Jinyi guards kept silent from beginning to end, gritting their teeth firmly;

Jin Yiwei refused to admit his guilt, and as expected, Jin Yiwei had strict discipline, and admitting Jin Yiwei's identity would inevitably implicate the family; Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to target Forhai.

Forhai is a soft bone, and after several tortures, he honestly confessed to all of them; After Lu Xiangsheng read Forhai's confession, he took the case, so angry that he almost vomited blood!

1,000,000 taels of silver were traded twice, and 10,000 catties of sulfur smoke and nitrate, 3,000 catties of kerosene, 10,000 catties of brass, and 20,000 catties of stainless steel; Among them, Dodd first transported sulfur smoke and fire oil, and at this time had already left the territory of Datong Province by water.

These are just the number of transactions, before that, there were six transactions, each transaction amount was millions of silver taels; Lu Xiangsheng was furious, no wonder the Jin army was able to drive straight into and seize Liaodong, without these strategic materials of the enemy, how could the Ming army be defeated so miserably!

When foreign enemies invaded, the people of the country did not want to serve the country, but used the war to resell military and strategic materials, and the desire for profit was consumed to make the country difficult to make money.

Lu Xiangsheng compiled the details of the beginning and end into a book overnight, and arranged for a cronie to sneak to the Xikelai Inn secretly to present the letter to the king to make a decision.

The early morning in Datong Mansion is the same as in the past, and the shops on the street are open early as usual, ready to welcome visitors from all over the world; Merchants and tourists from all over the world shuttle between the markets, in twos and threes, in an endless stream; The shouting and shouting of early vendors came and went.

At this time, groups of brocade guards and horses kept shuttling through various streets and alleys; He even began to search and inspect from house to house, and a discerning person knew at a glance that something big would happen in Datong Mansion.

The people of the Ming Dynasty saw the fierce tiger that the Jinyi Guard feared, this fear has been deep-rooted, there is no need to listen to the rumors, they have witnessed too many cases around them, but where someone is taken away by the Jinyi Guard for questioning, it is rare to see those who come back alive, even if they can survive by chance, at least they are half-paralyzed, and the torture is not the same.

Datong Mansion Jinyi Wei paced back and forth, his face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a trace of anger in his eyes; Li Taichang, a thousand households in Jinyi, hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Excellency, according to the report of the reconnaissance eyeline outside the city, yesterday afternoon, the General's Mansion mobilized the 'Tianxiong Army' and went to the direction of the poplar forest in the south of the city, and returned to the barracks after evening, the situation is unknown!" ”

Gao Qiqian stopped, stared at Li Taichang, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Who was the Yongtai Gate Jinyi Guard on duty yesterday?" Check all suspicious people who enter and exit Yongtai Gate before evening! ”

"Yes!" Mrs. Li often bowed down to receive orders.

After half a cup of tea, Li Taichang led a Jinyi Wei general flag to see Gao Qiqian, as soon as he entered the door, Jinyi Wei's face was pale, 'poof' knelt on the ground, and reported to the top: "Subordinate Yongtai Gate guards the general flag Wang San, meet the town envoy!" ”

Gao Qiqian was calm, his eyes pressed at Wang San, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, and said coldly: "You are under Duan Hai?" ”

"Yes!" Wang San kowtowed and said: "The subordinates are subordinate to Duan Qianhu, and the seventh general banner of the eight hundred households under the command of Duan Qianhu was ordered to guard Yongtai Gate yesterday!" ”

"What was wrong with Yongtai Gate yesterday?" Gao Qian's gaze was majestic, and a coldness seemed to penetrate Wang San's body.

Wang San had cold sweat on his forehead, knowing that the matter was very important, he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Go back to the town to Fu Envoy, yesterday evening, there was a convoy of businessmen out of Yongtai Gate, 36 large and small vehicles, 65 personnel, of which..."

Wang San looked up at Gao Qiqian, and his heart was horizontal, and he reported: "Among them, Duan Qianhu and Jinyiwei belong to a total of eleven people!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian stood up abruptly and said angrily: "What is on the car? ”

"Your Excellency!" Wang San hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The subordinates don't dare to investigate!" ”

"Rubbish!" Gao Qiqian was furious, and shouted: "The seventh general banner of the third king of Jinyi Wei is derelict in duty, and the whole banner is detained, isolated and reviewed!" ”

"Spare your life!" Wang San trembled, his face pale.

Li Taichang waved his hand, rushed into the two brocade guards, and dragged Wang San down.
