Out of Liu Zongmin's Hou Ye's mansion, Luo Xiushen hurriedly went to Beizhen Fusi. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and hurriedly turned his head to look, it turned out to be Chen Shiwen, the son of Chen Yan, with an old servant guarding the door of Ruhou Mansion. Both of them looked very down, and Chen Shiwen, the former suave son-in-law, was even more pale, with swollen eye bubbles, and I don't know if they were crying like this.

"How? Got borrowed money? Luo Xiushen stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice.

"Where to borrow?" Chen Shiwen sighed, "When my father was in the seat, there were many protégés and former officials...... But my father is now detained in the Department of Suppression, and I, as a son, don't have such a big face, everyone avoids it, and there is no way to raise money! Why don't you go and talk to Ruhou, let your father come out first, and then find a way to raise money. ”

"This," Luo Xiushen thought for a while, "Let's go with me to the Zhenfu Division to see your father first......"

He only said half of what he said, and the other half was that I don't know if your father was killed?

The work of torture was not the responsibility of Luo Xiushen, nor was it done by the original Jinyi Wei Tiqi. Although Ti Cai is vicious, he knows the severity of his hands, and he will not easily kill people, even if he is disabled, there are not many people.

But where are Huang Hu Liu Zongmin's subordinates so professional? That's a call to death!

Luo Xiushen led the two of them on the streets of Beijing, the streets were extremely depressed, the shops on the street were open, but the inside was empty, there were no customers, and there was nothing to sell.

The reason for this, of course, is also related to torture and forced wages. Merchants in Beijing also suffered greatly from the torture campaign. The amount of money apportioned by the Da Shun army was too much, and the market was too depressed, so he could only sell the goods at a low price in his eagerness. Some shops were forced to rush and even sold their furniture at a low price. However, the store can't be sold, and it can't be sold, and it has to remain open, otherwise the Yongchang Emperor will be unhappy. So it was just empty......

There are also many white-hatted and blue-clothed Dashun soldiers roaming the streets. When they first entered the city, they were not disciplined, but now they have completely appeared. It is not yet a matter of openly burning and killing adultery, but if it is destroyed and wants to eat and drink, it is not a matter. If there is anything in the shops on the street that can be sold, most of them will take it away.

Luo Xiushen knew that many generals and officials of the Dashun Army had mentioned the matter of purging discipline with Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was also in favor of it. But there's no way to do it...... Because Li Zicheng doesn't have so much money to pay now, and there is no way to allocate land to the soldiers below - the allocation of land must work hard to run the place, and Li Chuang's rise is too fast, and the local foundation is weak, so he can't implement a system similar to that of military households and government soldiers, so he can only pay the troops.

And the territory occupied by Li Zicheng just can't collect any money. Even if there is no promise of "no levy for three years", how can it be possible to receive military expenses that can feed a million-strong army by relying on the war-torn territory of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhili?

Therefore, the ferocious torture was actually the only way for Li Zicheng to maintain the army......

......

"Ah, it hurts...... Ah......h

Before Luo Xiushen and Chen Shiwen entered the gate of Beizhen Fusi, there were bursts of miserable shouts.

Luo Xiushen has been "pretending to be a good person" in Beizhen Fusi these days, and he is used to all kinds of miserable things. Chen Shiwen was not used to it, his white face was frightened green, his legs and stomach cramped, and he couldn't walk anymore.

Luo Xiushen glanced back at him, "That's not Ling Zun, it's two earls...... It's being chopped! ”

"Scratch ......," Chen Shiwen trembled, "why?" ”

"Isn't there enough?" Luo Xiushen smiled bitterly, "Ling Zun is a civil official, and if you pay enough money, you will be fine." Didn't you see that Elder Li Ge had already gone back to Shanxi? But those lords and royal relatives are not so cheap, they are all both human and wealthy! If you pay enough to count, give it a good time, and if you don't count enough, you have to be chopped...... You haven't seen this, walk with your head down later, don't look at it, have nightmares! ”

"This, this, this ......" Chen Shiwen and Chen Dagongzi are almost faint, these thieves are demons? What can I do? What to do......

Chen Gongzi, who was full of panic, followed Luo Xiu's words, walked with his head down, and didn't dare to look at the Da Ming Xungui who was tied to the two pillars inside the door and suffered a thousand knives. But the miserable screams and the smell of blood, which was so thick that it could not be erased, almost scared him out. In the end, I didn't even know how to get to the cell where Chen Yan was held!

Chen Yan is still alive. A pair of wrists and a pair of ankles were broken, and the wounds had been bandaged and treated fairly cleanly, so he didn't have a fever, but just felt a burst of pain.

And, of course, remorse!

I should have fled sooner if I had known......

"It's still there, it's still ......" Luo Xiushen's voice suddenly came, and then the sound of the cell door being opened.

Chen Yan turned his head to look, and saw Luo Xiushen and his son Chen Shiwen walking in one after the other.

"How? Got borrowed money? Chen Yan asked his son hopefully.

He had given all his all, and had given all forty thousand taels of silver! But the target given by Liu Zongmin was 100,000 taels of silver.

"Dad, my son is useless...... Chen Shiwen knelt down for Chen Yan with a puff.

The hope on Chen Yan's face suddenly vanished, and then he looked at Luo Xiushen, "Commander Luo, you must save the old man...... As long as the old man can get out, there must be a way to raise the remaining 60,000 taels of silver! ”

Luo Xiushen sighed: "Pavilion elder...... That's what you said, sixty thousand taels! ”

"Yes, yes!" Chen Yan didn't want to stay in Beizhen Fusi for a moment. When he was an official for Chongzhen, he was actually not very afraid of Jinyiwei's edict. Civil officials in the Ming Dynasty often went in and out of the imperial prison. And the edict is not very cruel most of the time, and it is only ruthless when it is strictly ordered by the emperor.

But Li Zicheng's gang of people are not light or heavy, and they want to torture people to death!

"Okay!" Luo Xiu said, "Just give the elder three days, and send 60,000 taels of silver after three days, then it'll be fine." ”

If you can't send it...... Luo Xiushen couldn't bear to say, Liu Laohu is a real tiger, he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, how can he be so easy to fool? Let Chen Ge Lao be comfortable for another three days!

......

Jin Yiwei's investigation of thousands of households Ren Yizhou walked into the cabin of the Dalongtou sand ship that was slowly sailing towards Dagukou, where Zhu Cihong was, saluted, and then reported: "Master Chitose, the person you want has been found." ”

"Oh." Zhu Cihong was looking down at a list of officers of the military division in the New Army that Bijiucheng had just sorted out.

On the day of the end of the Battle of Tianjin, Zhu Cihong issued an order to form a Chinese army division.

There are four sources of officers and soldiers of the Chinese army, one is Zhu Cihong's own guards; the second is the original Han general; The third is the surrender of the old battalion of the Dashun army and the family of Tang Tong, and the fourth is the Guanning cavalry brought by Wu Guoyong.

Looking at the sources of these officers and soldiers, you know that Zhu Cihong wants to build this Chinese army division into his trump card and main force!

In addition to organizing the military divisions, Zhu Cihong was also busy with another major matter, which was to establish a truly effective intelligence network.

This task now falls on the Jinyi Guard's investigation of the Thousand Households, and Ren Yizhou, who was born in Tiqi, is doing this on the way to Dagukou - to select a really useful spy for Zhu Cihong.

In Zhu Cihong's view, one or two spies that can be used can play a great role. It's useless, it's a waste to come to a few hundred or thousand.

Luo Xiushen, who was installed by him in Beijing, should be a useful person. And now, Zhu Cihong needs to send someone to Wu Sangui's side.
