Xu Wenjue took the urgent report handed by the messenger and read it for a long time, and after he sneered, a series of orders were passed down, and then he turned his head to the dock fort in front of him.

The Xu family has been in operation in Jiangnan for a hundred years, and the dock fort built is really powerful, and it can resist four or five rounds of artillery bombardment.

But there is no bird use, there is no high-grade special cement for construction, and the so-called dock fort can resist four or five rounds has reached the limit.

After following Emperor Chongzhen for a long time, Xu Wenjue also learned Emperor Chongzhen's big bombing gameplay - artillery advancement, rotation bombing.

It exploded like this for half an hour, and Xu Wenjue yawned, waved his hand, and said: "When it's almost over, send soldiers to go in and collect those who surrender, and those who don't surrender will die!" ”

……

Through where Xu Wenxuan's study was, a hole appeared behind the bookshelf that had been removed, and there was not even a trace of light in the dark passage of the black hole, like a monster that wanted to choose people to eat.

After searching from behind the bookshelf, Xu Wenxuan took out a torch, lit it with a fire fold, and walked towards the dark passage first.

There was some messiness in the dark passage, and it was obvious that there were traces of many people walking in front of them.

Walking in the dark passage, except for Xu Wenxuan, who did not show any special expression towards this secret passage, the rest of the family heads all opened their eyes wide, looking at this endless secret passage in disbelief.

Everyone in the world is that there is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is easy to build a thirty-mile-long secret passage, and anyone can build it.

But if you ensure the environment in this dark passage, as well as the service life of the dark passage, it is a very fatal problem.

Hu Changfeng gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be required for the construction of this dark passage?" ”

Xu Wenxuan said quite complacently: "The construction of this secret passage took almost fifty years before and after.

Sanhe soil, bricks, glutinous rice juice, the cost is so high that even my Xu family feels a little difficult.

However, now it is thanks to the foresight of the ancestors that such a secret path has been built in advance, otherwise you and I would have been planted in the hands of those officers and soldiers today. ”

Hu Changfeng sighed: "Even now, the maintenance cost of this secret passage is not small, right? ”

Xu Wenxuan sighed: "Yes, tens of thousands of taels of silver are smashed into it every year, just so that this dark passage can operate normally." ”

Chen Qi said: "It's also fortunate that this secret passage is also a blessing, otherwise I would have been buried in the dock fort today." ”

After walking for several miles amid the admiration of several people, Xu Wenxuan stopped, walked to the position against the wall and groped for a while, then heard a bang, and a huge broken dragon stone fell to the ground.

After Hu Changfeng and the others looked at each other, Hu Changfeng spoke: "This is the Broken Dragon Stone?" Now put this thing down, if it's the front exit? ”

Hu Changfeng's words were not fully explained, but which of the few people present was not a human spirit, and which one did not know the meaning of Hu Changfeng's words.

Xu Wenxuan said: "The exit of this secret passage is only passed down by word of mouth among the successive heads of my Xu family, but a few old brothers don't have to worry.

As for the broken dragon stone in the back, if you want to dig it up, it will take more than a day or two. By the time the officers and soldiers dig up this broken dragon stone, I'm afraid that we will already be on the mountain. ”

After listening to Xu Wenxuan's explanation, several people let go of the doubts in their hearts and walked forward with Xu Wenxuan.

Walking all the way, there were four or five broken dragon stones all the way, Xu Wenxuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Okay, let's get rid of those officers and soldiers now, let's rest for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Wenxuan took the lead and walked to a small hole not far in front, which had some wine and food.

Hu Changfeng was even more amazed: "Even these foods are ready, Brother Xu is really powerful, and my brother admires it tightly." ”

Xu Wenxuan stroked his beard and smiled indifferently, but he didn't care too much about Hu Changfeng's praise.

It's not himself who is really awesome, but the ancestor of his own family, Lord Xu Jiexu, if he hadn't been angry with Hai Rui's bastard back then, he probably wouldn't have thought of cultivating such a secret path.

After resting for a while, Xu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Let's walk almost ten miles today, take a nap here first, and then continue to move forward when we have eased up." ”

In the dark passage, there was no way to know if it was dawn or dark outside, but the body's own reaction was to tell Xu Wenxuan and the others unmistakably that it was time to rest for a while.

How long they slept, Xu Wenxuan and the others didn't know, anyway, when they woke up, they continued to walk forward, and when they were tired, they rested for a while, and stopped sleeping when they couldn't slow down.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Wenxuan pointed to the glimmer of light exposed in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's finally time to get to the exit, the old brothers are working hard, presumably the front has been arranged." ”

When the other people heard this, they were also shocked and rushed towards the exit.

But as soon as he arrived at the exit, Xu Wenxuan noticed that something was wrong.

There were no people of their own coming to greet them at the exit, but it seemed a little quiet, quiet to the point that it was not normal.

Raising his hand to block the somewhat dazzling sunlight, Xu Wenxuan looked up and looked out, only to find that there was a person on the opposite side looking at him with a smile.

Xu Wenxuan's heart was simply cold to the bottom - the smiling person opposite was Xu Wenjue in military uniform.

When Xu Wenjue saw Xu Wenxuan, he smiled and said, "Finally came over?" It was two or three days later than Lao Tzu expected. ”

Seeing Xu Wenxuan's dead expression, Xu Wenjue smiled again and said, "What's the matter?" Do you come up by yourself or wait for Lao Tzu to send someone down to invite you to come up? ”

Hu Changfeng said: "Yes, this time you don't have to think about anything, the officers and soldiers are waiting here, and there is no need to have other thoughts." ”

The smile on Chen Qi's face was more ugly than crying: "All the planning is in vain!" ”

After Xu Wenxuan and several other family heads looked at each other for a long time, they snorted coldly, raised their feet and walked towards the entrance of the cave, but among the five people, none of them opened their mouths to beg for mercy.

At this point, even if Xu Wenxuan thinks about it with his ass, he can think of what went wrong - the exit of this secret passage has always been passed down by word of mouth among the successive heads of the Xu family from its completion to the present.

In other words, apart from himself, only his own son, Xu Chongjun, the head of the next generation of the Xu family, knows.

Now that the officers and soldiers have appeared in front of their eyes, how can the officers and soldiers know except for this exit that their son said?

The only pity is that his bastard son must have fallen into the hands of the factory guard, which means that the things he planned by these people have completely failed.

However, what these people are doing is rebellion, this kind of great crime of punishing the nine clans, if it is useful to beg for mercy, then what do you need to do with Da Ming Law?

After staring at Xu Wenxuan for a long time, Xu Wenjue suddenly smiled and said, "Master Xu doesn't seem to be surprised?" ”

Xu Wenxuan snorted coldly: "What's the accident?" It's just that Jun'er also failed. If you succeed or lose, you will dispose of it. ”

Xu Wenjue nodded and said, "It's a man." ”

After praising him, Xu Wenjue shouted directly: "Tie it up and take it away!" ”

Xu Wenxuan was treated well, neither was he picked off his tendons and tendons, nor was he tied up by five flowers, just a calfskin rope tied up his two hands upside down, and was escorted forward by several soldiers.

But as he walked farther forward, Xu Wenxuan's heart became colder.

There were a lot of swords scattered all over the roadside, and there were even bits and pieces of blood.

Although he didn't see any corpses, Xu Wenxuan also knew in his heart that after facing the officers and soldiers who came prepared, there was basically no second way to go except to be killed or surrendered.

……

A few days passed, Xu Wenxuan, Hu Changfeng and others were sent to the Nanjing Military Mansion, and they also met Xu Hongji, Xu Xianchun and others.

Xu Xianchun praised loudly: "What a guts! Since Chongzhen has been three years old, you are the first wave to dare to raise the banner of rebellion! The Governor admires you! ”

Xu Wenxuan snorted and said: "It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a villain, Xu only wants to die." ”

Xu Xianchun said: "Your nine clans have to follow, I don't know if Master Xu has anything to say?" ”

is the so-called murderous heart, Xu Xianchun is now planning to stimulate Xu Wenxuan, not to be angry with him, but to be happy in his heart.

Since Chongzhen three years later, who else dares to say rebellion in the entire Ming Dynasty?

But Xu Wenxuan, these bastards got out!

Isn't this a naked face of the brocade guard? said that the reputation of Jinyiwei can't suppress these people, and those who want to rebel just raise the flag?

Isn't that funny?

But Xu Xianchun's purpose was obviously not achieved, Xu Wenxuan just sneered, and then said: "The old man's nine clans have enjoyed the glory and wealth with the old man, and now it is natural to accompany the old man on the road."

I just don't know, how is my family Jun'er now? ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said with a smile: "What courage!" Ben Du has to admire you!

As for Ling Gongzi, Master Xu can rest assured, although his tendons and tendons have been picked, someone has fed him food and drink, so he will wait for you to come together and go on the road. ”

Xu Hongji was extremely curious and said, "By the way, why did you think of rebelling?" Your Majesty, you still dare to jump out and rebel, this grandfather is very curious. ”

Xu Wenxuan said: "Wei Guogong doesn't know? How could you not know? ”

Xu Hongji was stunned by Xu Wenxuan's question, and asked, "Why does Grandpa Ben know?" Grandpa Ben never intended to rebel, why should he know? ”

Xu Wenxuan sneered: "Xu dares to ask Grandpa Guo, how much less is the income of your mansion than during the Apocalypse?" ”

Xu Hongji glanced at Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun with some weakness, and said, "Naturally, there are a lot less." ”

Xu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Isn't that it?" The annual income of Xu's family is nearly 10,000 taels less than that during the Apocalypse! 10,000 taels of silver! Grandpa Guo doesn't know what ten thousand taels of silver represent? ”

Xu Hongji hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Xianchun was furious and said, "Your so-called missing 10,000 taels of silver must be the commercial tax, right?"

But what if you collect a tax of 10,000 taels of silver? How much did you earn, have you ever calculated? ”

Xu Wenxuan said coldly: "If you don't pay, wouldn't it be better?" Is the annual tax collected by the emperor a minority? It's enough to leak a little bit between your fingers, so why compete with us and other small people? ”

Xu Xianchun was stunned by Xu Wenxuan's words, and found that he was speechless.

Cao Huachun said: "If there is no commercial tax, what will you use to raise soldiers?" What to take to dredge the river bridge? What to build a railway? Waiting for your own benefits but not seeing? ”

Xu Wenxuan snorted coldly: "Emperor Taizu Gao has treated my generation of scholars favorably since the founding of the country, why is it that Emperor Chongzhen is constantly suppressed?" Why? ”

Xu Hongji sighed: "People's hearts are greedy. Your Huating Xu clan has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, and has scavenged countless people's fat and people's ointment, but you can't think of it or you are not satisfied! ”

Xu Wenxuan snorted and said, "Where is your Wei Mansion stronger than my Xu family?" Is there still less money you earn in the Wei Mansion every year? ”

When Xu Xianchun heard this, he directly interrupted Xu Wenxuan's words, and waved his hand: "Take them all away, arrange them all, and kill them one day!" ”

Xu Xianchun didn't dare to let Xu Wenxuan, a bastard, continue to talk - if he found out something bad about the Wei State Mansion, would he check it himself or not?

If the Wei Mansion is really forced to rebel, will Emperor Chongzhen be able to spare himself at that time?

Xu Hongji obviously knew this point, and after wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he thanked Xu Xianchun and said, "Thank you Commander Xu." ”

Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "Your Majesty has long said that what happened to Chongzhen three years ago will not be investigated in the past, as long as Wei Guogong abides by the law in the future, it will naturally be safe." ”

Xu Hongji hurriedly nodded and said, "This nature, this nature." ”

While speaking, Xu Hongji made up his mind that he still had to check the family's business and relatives well, so that he would not be really approached by the factory guard.

……

Time passed very slowly, and it passed quickly, and after just three days, Xu Wenxuan and his group got their due end in Nanjing.

Xu Wenxuan, Hu Changfeng and other five people are Ling Chi, and the rest are beheaded, and those who are over 70 years old and under 7 years old are not among them.

This is the first time that Jinyiwei has followed the laws of the Ming Dynasty to do things - Emperor Chongzhen is not present, it is better to deal with it according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it will be very disgusting if he is targeted by the people of the West Factory.

After receiving the news that Xu Xianchun and others had returned, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been in an unhappy mood during this time, slightly relaxed his brows.

The rebellion of these bastards is like child's play, people say that Xiucai's rebellion will not be completed for three years, and it seems that the rebellion of these educated and knowledgeable landlords is not much stronger than Xiucai's rebellion.

In the whole process of counterinsurgency, the factory guards contributed the most, followed by the Nanjing Military Government, and it was announced that it was over without even raising a little momentum.

It's just jumping out and disgusting yourself.
