"Jianzhou!?" Everyone present was taken aback, Dong Mingchuan had gone to Jianzhou to do business before, so he could understand Jianzhou dialect. Yue Xiang looked at the horse thief leader in front of him, "This guy is a Jurchen barbarian from Jianzhou?" ”

"I see...... No wonder you have a bald head, or you have a pig's tail braid so that others can see it at a glance. "Yue Xiang somewhat understood, these people must have been sent in by Nurhachi to disrupt the local order and create panic. Although the Qinghe River is surrounded by mountains, it is not impregnable. If the brigade carrying the baggage can only take the Yahu Pass Road, if the light team of 100 people can go over the mountain and sneak in, there are many unknown paths in the mountain.

"It must have been Jianyu who sent them to come to us disguised as horse thieves to burn, kill and loot. Or let me say, we are all wearing the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, and ordinary horse thieves will run away when they see officers and soldiers, how can they fight to the death with us. And the advance and retreat are quite orderly, obviously after training in battle formations. I think they're bandits from the Eight Banners! ”

Yue Xiang remembered that at the beginning of Nurhachi's army, the military law formulated was very strict, stipulating that if a unit lost its commander, often the whole team would be executed. No wonder these people didn't want to save him when they were fighting just now.

"It turned out to be the Eight Banners Army...... No wonder it's so tough. Yue Xiang gasped, just because only seventy or eighty people dared to fight hard with hundreds of people on his side, and they didn't fall behind. If it weren't for the terrain and carelessness, he might not be able to catch them.

"Ask him which of the eight banners he is, and what his intention is to sneak into Qinghe territory disguised as a horse thief."

Dong Mingchuan asked a half-baked Jurchen, and the leader replied with a sneer. Dong Mingchuan translated at the same time: "He said that he was Niu Lu under the fourth Beile Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Yingming Khan, and he was ordered to pretend to be a horse thief to kill and plunder...... Target. He said...... Wise Khan is about to raise troops to attack in the near future, let's ...... I don't care about you! You're a minion! Suddenly, he kicked the leader in the face.

"What did he say?!" Yue Xiang grabbed Dong Mingchuan.

"He scolded us for being all Han dog minions!" As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately added their fists and kicks, and immediately knocked these six people to the ground. Yue Xiang grabbed his collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "Bastard, where did you get my wife?" Ask him if he saw the carriage, and if he didn't tell the truth, I buried him alive! ”

However, the stubbornness of these Jurchen soldiers was really beyond Yue Xiang's expectations. The leader's beastly eyes were fixed on him, mocking in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a wriggling in his mouth, and he opened his mouth and squirted a mouthful of blood on Yue Xiang's face, as well as a piece of tongue that had been chewed off alive. Then he fell to the ground with a convulsion and died of exhaustion.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually killed himself by chewing his tongue, and his vision was blurred by a mouthful of blood, and he flashed back and wiped it indiscriminately. Seeing that this guy had already choked his last breath, the rest of the people had that kind of death-defying expression on their faces, if it wasn't for everyone removing their jaws in time, maybe more than one would have fallen now.

"your grandma......" Yue Xiang looked at this posture and knew that it was unlikely that something would come out of their mouths, these people were not even afraid of death, and it was useless to torture them. I really don't know how these people are trained, they can have such a strong will, is it Nurhachi who brainwashed them? Their loyalty to Nurhachi to such an extent is simply incredible. The impression is no different from that of the religious fanatics in the Middle East.

It is impossible for people to do this without a strong faith, and it seems that Nurhachi is probably as noble as a god in their minds, and he can give up his life without hesitation for him.

"It's not that easy to die! I don't live to kill how you can quench the hatred in my heart. Yue Xiang's mouth was very powerful, but he was very anxious in his heart, these people didn't say anything if they died, could it be that the clue was broken? I had the intention to kill them to vent my anger, but I felt that it was inappropriate, and finally found a way to pry their mouths open, but now time waits for no one.

Although he hated these tartars, he always cared more about his wife, Chen Xiaowan.

"My lord, we found a couple of suspicious people." Just as Yue Xiang was about to cut off someone's finger, a search for a family member suddenly came to report to him that he had found four suspicious people. Look at the four men with disheveled hair and embarrassed hair, tied up and escorted over. When the four men saw that most of the people present were wearing the uniforms of officers and soldiers, they immediately shouted at their own family members and clamored to loosen their ties quickly.

"What the are you doing? Who is your own family? Ma Gong looked them up and down a few times, and saw that they were dressed as Han people, and although the clothes on their bodies were torn a lot, they could see that the styles of the materials were all of the best.

"Hurry up and untie me! This official is a messenger from the Jingshi Factory Guard Yamen. Carrying the emperor's order, he bought tribute to the palace. You Qiu Ba minions are really blind, don't hurry up and untie Lao Tzu! Whoever of you is in office, let him come to me. "One of them has a very bad attitude, opening his mouth and closing his mouth, and he has a bad face.

"What's going on?" Yue Xiang's heart was on fire, and when he heard this guy shouting like this, he was immediately furious.

"My lord, we found that these four people were tied up and thrown behind a cantonment, and they claimed to be from the capital. The small ones don't distinguish between the real and the fake, so they are specially brought to the adults and sent them down. ”

"Factory Guard...... East Factory? Yue Xiang was stunned when he heard this, who in the Ming Dynasty didn't know about the factory guard spies, which were well-known organizations in Chinese history. This is why there are people from the East Factory on the ground in Liaodong, I heard him say that they came out to buy ginseng for the palace, and they may be ginseng buyers. And listening to his accent is very authentic Beijing films, is it really from Beijing? It's possible.

"You're from the East Factory? What are you doing here? Who bound you? "Others shudder at the murderous reputation of Dongchang, but Yue Xiang is not afraid.

"! Tell you to hurry up and untie grandpa, are you deaf or what? Don't you want to wear your black hat? The more the man scolded, the more anxious he became, and he jumped like thunder. Dongchang's fierce reputation shocked the world, and it was the private yamen of the Son of Heaven. Usually, even the scholars of the six Shangshu universities can't control them, and no one is used to being domineering in their eyes. This time he came out under the banner of buying from the palace, and all the magistrates along the way whispered to them, and even the princes who guarded one side like the general of the general army were polite to them, and Yue Xiang, a small officer who couldn't see the grade, was not taken seriously by them at all.

There are many prominent high-ranking officials and important ministers imprisoned in the Dongchang prison, and they are all trampled on the soles of their feet, and over time, they also think that they are superior. This time, he was killed by a military disaster and almost lost his life. I didn't even dare to let out a fart in Jianzhou, and finally returned to my side and finally had the opportunity to vent the sulking in my heart, a typical bully of the soft and afraid of the hard. Now that Yue Xiang obviously didn't take them seriously, the virtue of the fox and the fake tiger immediately broke out again.

"From the East Factory, what evidence do you have to prove that you are from the East Factory? Lao Tzu, I also said that I am the supervisor of the East Factory! Yue Xiang looked at them coldly, "Pretending to be a messenger from the government, it is obvious that he is a Tartar spy." Come on, beat me hard! ”

Several people immediately came up on both sides, knocked the four of them to the ground, picked up the whip and the club, and beat them violently without a head or face. These people are still so arrogant and domineering as prisoners, and some people have long wanted to cut them. This whip and stick whipped the four people and rolled on the spot, crying dad and calling mom, the virtue just now had already flown out of the clouds, screaming and sparing his life. Yue Xiang waved his hand to stop, in fact, he didn't doubt their identity, he just wanted to kill their prestige.

Dongchang can scare people elsewhere, but it is not easy to do it in front of this Lao Tzu.

"Fuck your grandma, don't fucking pretend to be forced in front of Lao Tzu! Dongchang is a dick, not to mention a few of you ** cubs who don't enter the stream, even if your factory supervisor came and annoyed his grandfather, he still told him that he couldn't go back to Shanhaiguan. ”

"Yes, yes, damn the little ones, damn the little ones! The little one is blind and offends the adult tiger, and the adult raises his noble hand and spares the life of the little dog. Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......" The four people were drawn with bloodstains, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing vigorously to beg for mercy, tears flowing, thinking that they had found an object that could regain their dignity, but they didn't expect that this group of ruffians was more than three points of bandits than the group of horse thieves who kidnapped them.

"Say, what are you doing? How did you get here? Know them? Yue Xiang pointed to the six captured Jianzhou horse thieves. When the four of them saw it, they immediately praised the soldiers of Yue Xiang's department for their courage and invincibility, and said that when they returned to Beijing, they would report to them in front of the emperor to add officials and knights.

Yue Xiang snorted disdainfully, thinking to himself that you think I am really a Liaodong hillbilly who has never seen the world. Just by virtue of your inferior characters, can you see the emperor? I'm afraid you don't even have the right to see the servants who serve the emperor.

However, these four people are really the officials of Dongchang from Beijing, named Zhang Rushen, Zhang Dong, Yang Xishun, and Lu Guoshi. According to them, they came out of the customs to purchase tribute ginseng for the palace, but in Fushun Ma City, Nurhachi led his troops to rebel, and they were arrested in one go.

Of course, according to their account, the four of them rose up to resist the enemy, but Li Yongfang led his troops to surrender first, and was finally outnumbered and captured. After being captured, they were determined to serve their country and went on a hunger strike to die. When Jianlu learned that they were the officials of Dongchang, he coerced and lured them in every possible way, promising them to be rich and noble, and asking them to turn their backs on their ancestors and abandon their Chinese clothes. Of course, they are all loyal to the emperor, after a series of routine procedures such as wealth and nobility, can not be lewd, can not move might, can not bend, etc., the Jianyu is naturally helpless, but was shocked by their fearless righteousness, and finally repented, and asked them to say that they should not be confused and rebelled against the heavenly kingdom for a while, and decided to hand over the book to the court to ask for sin, so they were released back to the court to tell the reason. As a result, on the way back, they encountered this gang of gangsters making trouble, and the four of them were coerced and brought to this tun. But fortunately, there were the general's elite soldiers to rescue them, and the bandits were wiped out, so they were out of danger.

Listening to the four people talking more wonderfully than singing, Yue Xiang said in his heart that these people's faces are really thick-skinned, and such a bad story can actually be made up. Probably these people are in a hurry, donkey dung and eggs can also be eaten as meatballs. If Nurhachi could repent, it would be a ghost's laugh! Look at the virtue they just had, they are still mighty and unyielding.

"There is no evidence for your words, what evidence do you have to prove that you are from Dongchang?"

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan has Dongchang's waist card on his body. Xiaguan is really from Dongchang. Zhang Rushen hurriedly pleaded out, Yue Xiang signaled to untie him, Zhang Rushen took out a black waist card from his arms, held it with both hands and said: "This is the waist card of the lower official, please take a look, the three of them are all colleagues of the lower official......

"So what? There's no shadow on this card, so who the knows where you picked it up from. You have made a journey with these Jianzhou bandits, maybe it was your kid who treasoned and defected to the enemy, leading these bandits to come to my Ming Dynasty to burn and loot. Yue Xiang didn't have a good impression of these notorious factory guards in history, and he felt that it was strange for them to appear here, so he deliberately made things difficult.

"Huh!? Treat unjustly! Wronged! Xia Guan didn't know where these bandits came from, Xia Guan ...... I ......" Zhang Rushen knew that Yue Xiang was deliberate, but he didn't know what to say for a while. What they are usually best at in Dongchang is to confuse right and wrong by reversing black and white, and today this method is used on themselves at first glance, only to find that the original taste is not pleasant.

Yue Xiang snorted coldly at his disdainful virtue, wondering if he would simply settle these people here, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't done his business yet. So he asked, "How many of you were when you were being held hostage by these bandits?" ”

"I don't know the exact number of people, but it seems that there are always more than 100 people."

"More than a hundred?" Yue Xiang and Dong Ma exchanged glances, and it seemed that there was something that had slipped through the net. "Then why is there the wrong number of people here, and have they divided their troops?"

"Exactly, when the lower officials and others were coerced here, such bandits did divide their troops, and a group of people carried a carriage and left first. Xiaguan waited ......" Before Zhang Rushen finished speaking, Yue Xiang grabbed his clothes and pulled him up, "What did you say?" Carriage!? Are there two women? ”

"This ...... It seems to be ...... Xia Guan didn't look carefully...... Regardless of it, I heard the woman's voice......"

"Where are they going?" Yue Xiang's eyes widened with rage, and his roar was like thunder, almost shaking apart Zhang Rushen's bone frame.

"This ...... Xiaguan ...... None of them spoke Chinese, Xiaguan ......" Zhang Rushen cried with a sad face, but when he saw Yue Xiang's murderous face, he was suddenly frightened. "However, Xiaguan seems to have heard that some of them have spoken in Chinese, Ba Shi Ling, Yang Shi Fort, Xia Guan really can't understand......

"Bapanling, goat Yubao!" Yue Xiang and Dong Ma shouted out in unison......
