Just five minutes after Zhang Mingzhen and the others escaped, Yang Xin rushed to Tianlong Temple.

"Wu Changshi?"

Yang Xin looked at Wu Changshi, who was caught.

"What crime have I committed?"

The latter said righteously.

"Wu Shengyuan, your courage is really big enough, in the two hundred and fifty years of the Ming Dynasty, it is the first time that someone dares to dig tunnels in the imperial city, you are killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, how much gunpowder do you prepare, is it enough to blow up the entire Academy of Sciences?"

Yang Xin said.

"Wu doesn't know what Your Excellency said!"

Wu Changshi said.

It is said that his psychological quality is good, and it is worthy of the fact that Chongzhen was half angry in history and scolded him for three hundred years.

"Okay, your raid is already a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to deny it, you don't think that Ke Guangxian will be the same as Wang Wenyan, I'm afraid that now he has confessed to Xu Xianchun. I heard that your family is still very rich? It seems that Daming is another bumper harvest year this year, Yang is worried that the military expenses for aiding the DPRK have not yet been settled, you sent it directly to the door, Yang Mou wants to say thank you first, and send him to Beiya to confront Keguang first. ”

Yang Xin said.

Wu Changshi was escorted away like this.

"You, tell me who are your son-in-law's other comrades?"

Yang Xin said to the slave of the Xu family.

The latter trembled......

As soon as Yang Xin stretched out his hand to the side, Sun Yunhe immediately handed him a short gun, and Yang Xin simply put the barrel of the gun into the slave's mouth.

"One!"

He said.

Then the trigger began to move back slowly.

The hammer of the wheel was ready to fire, and the house slave who was familiar with this thing broke out in a cold sweat......

"Two!"

Yang Xin said.

The latter suddenly nodded desperately.

Yang Xin drew his short gun in satisfaction.

Soon he got what he wanted.

"Let's go, continue to arrest the Hanlin Academy's Jishi Wen Zhenmeng, supervise the imperial history Huang Zunsu, the Hanlin Academy's Jishi Yao Ximeng, the Hanlin Academy's editor Fang Fengnian, and supervise the imperial history Li Yingsheng, there are five more, let's make five gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Xin said.

Of course, these people are not necessarily complicit, but they have close contacts with Xu Du and these people, in fact, they are basically the same, and these close contacts with Xu Du must be the hoe team, even if they don't know that the tunnel is to the palace, they must know the existence of this tunnel.

That's enough, it doesn't matter if he really participated in the murder of the monarch, as long as he knows the existence of this tunnel, then he will be involved in this Tianzi No. 1 case of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, and then he can go to the house. It is estimated that this year's disaster relief is enough after this wave of raids, and the North Zhili continues to be dry and rainless today, and this year's drought can be said to have begun to exert its might, and then it is the locust plague in Jinan, the fourth largest tax warehouse in the Ming Dynasty.

It all costs money.

Yang Xin then led the Jinyi Guard to begin his arrest, and at this time, Tian Ergeng had already begun to blockade the various squares in the city.

The arrest went well.

In fact, Fang Fengnian didn't know what happened at all, Wen Zhenmeng and Yao Ximeng were also arrested in the Hanlin Academy, only Li Yingsheng tried to escape when he got the news, but he was blocked at Chaoyang Gate, and was caught by Jinyiwei on the way back, and Huang Zunsu was arrested in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

By dark, the round of arrests was over.

At the same time, Sun Shoufa led five cavalry battalions into the capital and began to patrol the streets of the entire capital to prevent people from jumping over the wall at night, but Zhang Mingzhen and the others still did not catch it. It is not difficult for them to solve, and the Xu family is not a small family, so his uncle Xu Honggang is still the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and his grandfather also retired with military preparation.

It doesn't matter if he can't be caught, the Dongyang Xu family is the most important, and of course, it can also be said to be the property of the Xu family.

How to interrogate prisoners, this does not need Yang Xin to worry about.

In fact, there is no need to judge.

Keguang first and Hou Guoxing recruited everything as soon as they entered Jinyiwei......

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, they really don't know that these rebels intend to kill the monarch and plot rebellion, but they are the masterminds of digging tunnels to blow up the minister's house, they provide the house, and the gunpowder is also provided by them, and a total of 2,000 catties of gunpowder is already in a Hakka warehouse in the outer city. These gunpowder were obtained by the Hakka family from the cement factory, where they often had to blow up stones, and the steward was an errand that was only fished by the first door of the Hakka family, and the guest Guang first said that he wanted the gunpowder to open the mountain to repair the tomb of Mrs. Fengsheng, and he would let it be used there. ”

Yang Xin, who entered the palace late at night, said.

"Does Madame Bongsheng know?"

Zhang Yan asked.

Apocalypse snorted.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is just asking."

Zhang Yan is coquettish.

She's happy.

Apocalypse looked at Yang Xin.

Yang Xin hurriedly lowered his head and made an inconvenient answer.

"It's unreasonable!"

Apocalypse said hatefully.

"Your Majesty is angry, everything that the two families have done in this case has been clear, and now it is time to track down the real rebels, although they have not confessed at present, but the minister has roughly deduced.

The mastermind should be Wu Changshi, a member of Jiaxing, who is from the Restoration Society.

The Fushe is a society formed by some young scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang under the name of literature, but His Majesty also knows that these young people always like to discuss some current affairs when they get together, and these people in the Fushe admire the Datong country that the minister asked for the ban in Nanjing last time. In their opinion, this is the most desirable composition of the state, with a hypocrite and local autonomy, with the local academies as the place of discussion and government, the restoration of the power of the prime minister, the chief assistant as the actual prime minister, and the cabinet of ministers and scholars to govern the country.

The emperor just bowed down.

Therefore, they do not regard the murder of the king as a rebellion, in their opinion, as long as they think that the king is unreasonable, they have the right to expel him. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Do they think I'm a dumb king?"

Apocalypse sneered.

"They do think so, they even think that I am a Ming and ignorant king, even if Ren Xuan is just a bad one, they think that Taizu and Chengzu are tyrannical kings, the temple is a dumb king, and Your Majesty appoints the ministers and ministers, but they are the kings of no way."

Yang Xin said.

"Very well, I really want to do nothing."

Apocalypse said.

"When they entered Beijing, they were plotting against each other, and the courtier's Chinese Zhenmeng and others were their internal response, and the courtiers could not yet determine whether Wen Zhenmeng and the others knew about their counterplot, but it could be concluded that some of the five Wen Zhenmeng must know which one it was, and they still need to continue to interrogate, but these five people must all know this tunnel, and this can be said to be certain."

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse nodded.

"In addition, it is outside the imperial court.

There is a group of people behind Wu Changshi who are supporting, they can't just a few scholars suddenly have this kind of thought, just like the murder of Xiong Tingbi, they are just doing things, and those who support them in the back are really terrible. ”

Yang Xin said.

"This case is handled by my brother, I don't need to go to North Korea for the time being until this case is concluded, I can arrest whoever needs to be arrested, and if I need to go to Jiangnan, I will take the Korean army to the south, I want to see what else they dare to do."

Apocalypse said.

Yang Xin hurriedly complied.

That's it, he originally lacked motivation for aiding North Korea this year, and compared with aiding North Korea, it was obvious that he was more willing to take a gang of criminals to Jiangnan to continue to raid his home.

"There is another thing, Your Majesty, in order to prevent such things from happening again, the minister proposed to establish a hot air balloon monitoring system in the capital, which the minister called Skynet, that is, to make a large number of hot air balloons, at least twenty or thirty, and pull them with oxen below, rise to the sky dozens of feet high, and arrange soldiers to monitor the bottom with binoculars, so that such a counterplot can be discovered as soon as possible."

Yang Xin said.

"This is good!"

Apocalypse said immediately.

This is really good, anyway, there is no need to consider privacy at all these days, dozens of hot air balloons are raised in the sky, so that soldiers can monitor in mid-air, and they are pulled by oxen, and two oxen are tied to a rope of 50 meters on their backs, and then pull the hot air balloon to move in the sky.

If the wind is too strong or the rain or snow is rainy, you don't need to lift it off.

This thing can't withstand the wind.

But even so, it is enough to monitor the entire capital, and if there are those who secretly dig tunnels, they have to face the eyes above their heads at any time.

It's not just about digging tunnels.

It is estimated that any criminal will be afraid in the future, even if they are not arrested, it is easy to make people feel weak if there is such a thing floating above their heads. And you can also make a communication system for the soldiers above, that is, tie a bottle with a thin rope, and if there is any abnormality, it will be immediately written on paper and put down in the bottle, and the patrol soldiers below will immediately deal with it.

It's nothing more than burning oil.

The Yang family's kerosene, which had already begun to be backlogged, happened to have a place to use.

And then there's the next proposition.

"Then there is the reform of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, including the patrol camp."

Yang Xin said.

This has to be reformed.

The system of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Patrol Battalion is not scientific, the former is equivalent to the police station, but it is mastered by the patrol city, and the latter is at best a night joint defense team, and the two systems are not in charge of anyone, each square is the shop chief with a fireman, they are equivalent to community security.

They don't even have the power to enforce the law.

And no one wants to do it, and many of these errands are just volunteers.

It has to be changed to a real police system.

"The Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities, the patrol battalion was abolished, replaced by the police station, and a reliable person was directly appointed by His Majesty as the director, and four sub-bureaus were set up in the east, west, north and south cities, and police stations were set up in each square, household registration, public security, and sub-bureaus were assigned to criminal cases. The patrol teams under each sub-bureau are responsible for armed patrols in their jurisdictions, and the mounted police and anti-riot teams under the General Bureau, the former being a battalion of new-style musketeers and the latter being a brigade of infantry, all adopt the recruitment system, and they are recruited from the local military households in the capital. ”

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse is somewhat hesitant, and this reform is obviously not small.

"Your Majesty, today in Chongwenmen, nearly a hundred guards blocked three anti-parties, not only were nine injured by the anti-party, but also let one anti-party escape, such guards are useless, this is a loss of only three anti-parties, if there are thirty, I am afraid that Chongwenmen can be captured by them.

Had to change. ”

Yang Xin said very sincerely.
