Chapter 228: Defenders of the People
"This brother is tough!"
In the gloomy and terrifying torture chamber of the wolf's den, Yang Yong, who had been personally passed on by the Marquis of Zhongyong, said to a hanging warrior with a smile.
The latter looked up with difficulty.
Then he moved his bruised body very unnaturally, and subconsciously let out a painful shenyin, the pain came from behind him, and the pear blossom pestle next to him was the culprit, but this ferocious torture instrument could not shake his firm will......
He was a man of faith!
"Why do you think you're doing this? These people have no friendship with you, even if there are really some of you in it, but at this time, why bother with them, you confess that they are dead, and if you don't confess them, there is still hope for life. I know that you all have dreams, and you all want to be happy after death, but after all, it is after death, and none of us knows, do we? So why suffer this sin for the sake of such an ethereal thing? For a while in life, it is right to live comfortably, and if you confess them, I can guarantee that you are safe and sound! Don't you want a bunch of women? I'll give it to you, and it will cost you a few more to buy seventy-two slaves! Although the gem garden is a bit difficult, it is not difficult to separate the gem from the garden! ”
Yang Yong said.
As he spoke, he unfolded a confession that was so long that it had to be rolled up towards the guy.
"Come, sign a name, press a handprint, and you can enjoy the blessings that you can only enjoy when you die!"
He went on to say.
"You don't know about Hell yet, do you?"
The man sneered with the disdain of the believers.
"Is Hell terrible? Is it more terrible than this torture chamber in our Beiya? It's just a fire, and this bit of imagination is too bad, and the bald heads still have at least eighteen layers of hell! A Hell will send you away. Since you are afraid of Hellfire, I will send you to Hell. ”
Yang Yong said and clapped his hands.
Outside, two women as strong as oxen suddenly walked in.
And it has to be a rhinoceros.
Although this description is a bit excessive, in fact, these two mothers-in-law are really as strong as cows, more than 1.8 meters tall, plus no less than 300 catties of weight and face full of meat, especially the two piles of fat meat in front of them that can suffocate people, constantly shaking with their heavy footsteps. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the leather apron on his body, which was stained mottled with stale bloodstains, it can be said that his body exuded a murderous aura of Mount Tai's overwhelming, even if the warrior subconsciously trembled.
Even more exaggeratedly, one of them was carrying a struggling creature on his shoulder.
"Pacifier!"
One of the urns said angrily.
"Serve this brother well!"
Yang Yong said.
"If you are killed by a woman, you can't ascend to heaven!"
He then said to the warrior.
The latter's face changed.
The two mothers-in-law's faces trembled, like two hungry wolves staring at the little white rabbit, showing a hideous smile, which made the warrior creepy. Behind them, a brocade guard pushed over a stove on wheels, and a cauldron was steaming from a cauldron, and one of the old women picked up the animal with both hands and looked at the ground and fell to the ground, and the latter screamed and fell to death. Immediately after that, she took out a knife and began to peel the skin, and the bloody skin did not even fade and threw it directly into the pot.
The warrior looked at them blankly.
"Don't understand?"
Yang Yong said with a smile.
"It's very simple, they have to boil a pot of leather glue, and then pour these leather glue on you while it is hot, and this end is probably not enough, because they have to cover your whole body with leather glue, and finally when it is cold, they will put you in a leather rubber package, which is considered to give you a new layer of skin. But it is estimated that you will die at that time, and you can ascend to heaven with this skin, but I don't know if people will want you after having this skin, in short, enjoy it here, I won't accompany you! ”
He turned and walked out.
The warrior's face turned white, and he looked at the steaming cauldron.
A woman next to the pot raised her head.
She pressed her head with one hand and the other, grinning at him, and then the hand that grabbed the skin tore outward......
"Don't go, I'll move!"
The warrior screamed in horror.
"Uh, a change of heart so quickly?"
Yang Yong turned his head in amazement and said.
An hour later.
"What are you going to do?"
A certain brocade guard Qianhu roared angrily.
A group of wolf-like Jinyi guards were rushing into his courtyard gate, and the officer who was wearing the same clothes as him took out an arrest warrant in his hand, stretched it out in front of him and said: "Ha Qianhu, according to the confession of the assassin who assassinated Zhongyonghou, you are suspected of participating in the assassination, this is the arrest warrant signed by the Nanzhen Fu envoy, you are also Jinyiwei, it is best not to do stupid things!" ”
At the same time, two brocade guards stepped forward, and before Ha Qianhu could come to his senses, a handcuff with a chain had already been handcuffed to his wrist.
The latter instantly sobered up.
"Ridiculous, my Ha family is the hereditary Nanjing Jinyi Wei thousand households sealed by Emperor Chengzu, returned from Hexi thousands of miles, and has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, how can he assassinate the loyal and brave marquis? I want to see the Marquis of Zhongyong, I want to see the prison country! ”
He shouted with his arms waving.
A brocade guard next to him unceremoniously slapped the butt of a rifle in the face, Ha Qianhu screamed and spurted blood from his mouth, and then the two brocade guards dragged the chains of his handcuffs and dragged him out of the door in his struggle and screams. At the same time, the other Jinyi guards quickly rushed into Ha's house and divided their families into men and women, drove them into different rooms and locked them, and then rushed to other rooms to search, and soon one Jinyi Wei walked out with a letter written in special characters.
"Qianhu, find a secret letter."
He presented his hands to the thousand households and said.
Almost at the same time, another brocade guard came over with a small box in his hand.
"Qianhu, I found a box of gold leaves from the Jiannu Internal Affairs Mansion!"
He opened the lid and said.
Inside was a stack of gold flakes, Qianhu picked up a gold leaf, and then looked at the sun carefully, which was imbossed with the seven Chinese characters of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office......
"Ha Qianhu fornicated with Jiannu, colluded with Jiannu military aircraft to assassinate Zhongyong Marquis, the evidence is conclusive, he really knows people and knows his face, Zhongyong Hou is as kind to him as a mountain, but he is so ungrateful, he is simply inferior to Qin beast, immediately sent to Xu Zhenfu, and continue to search, and take all the men in his family away for interrogation!"
He said righteously.
"My subordinates understand!"
The brocade guard also said righteously.
Then the two of them showed a smile at the same time, but at this moment, suddenly the door behind them was slammed open, and the two and a half teenagers rushed out with a roar, and the brocade guards guarding the door were caught off guard, and they were knocked to the ground by them at once, and the two of them grabbed their knives with their hands and feet and rushed straight over. Without the slightest hesitation, the Chido pulled out the short gun at his waist, pulled the hammer as fast as he could, and pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the flintlock pistol, which had already been loaded, spewed flames, and the bullet hit the chest of the fastest boy. He screamed and fell, just as he tripped the one at the back door, and before he could get up, the brocade guard with the gold leaf had already pounced, and the hardwood box in his hand was smashing on his temple, and the brave boy closed his eyes at the same time.
Qianhu blew the smoke of gunpowder.
"The evidence is really conclusive!"
He said contentedly.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the evidence is conclusive or not, because this is Jinyiwei's internal law enforcement, and it has nothing to do with the Three Law Divisions, all that is needed is the order of the Nanzhen Fu Envoy, and there is no need for the Criminal Department to give a driving sticker in the matter, let alone the intervention of the Criminal Department.
Thus began the mass arrests.
With the arrest warrant issued by Xu Ping, the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, a team of Jinyi guards and soldiers seconded from the Five Cities Terracotta Division quickly rushed into the homes of the hereditary officers and ordinary soldiers of Nanjing Jinyiwei. Then all the men were arrested, the women and children were all locked up at home and imprisoned by the soldiers, and those arrested were sent directly to the Nanzhen Fusi's own prison, and there was no need for interrogation, just press their fingers and fingerprints one by one......
Of course, their crime is not to collude with Yungui's guards.
They are colluding with Jiannu.
As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, Yang Qing is not prepared to make it public, he has to take a more secure approach to dealing with those people, even if those assassins have confessed and told their real masterminds behind the scenes, Yang Qing is not ready to find out, otherwise he will have to fight a civil war against Yungui. For those people who don't need war, all they need is propaganda, and now the military households there don't know the benefits of reform because of distance and time, and they have listened to those generals for more than two hundred years, and they have become accustomed to obedience, that is, those people want to take them to Qing Jun and Chen, and it is estimated that they will also obey.
It's definitely not going to work.
So he is going to use a propaganda team to solve this problem, as long as the military households in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces know the benefits of the reform of the guard, what is the use of those generals even if they want to resist?
Those military households will take care of them themselves.
In short, at this moment, the crime of these hidden dangers within the Jinyi Guard is to collude with Jiannu, and they happened to catch the agents of the Military Aircraft Department, and because the identity of the assassin has been determined by the people to be sent by Jiannu, plus they will complete this criminal gang. The one who transports gunpowder, the one who responds to it in the city, the one who is responsible for the operation, the whole combination, and they also have five hundred pounds of gunpowder, ready to make more explosions in Nanjing......
What a shocking case!
If there is no decisiveness of the loyal and brave marquis, and the vigorous and resolute action of the Jinyi Guard, how many Ming people will suffer!
Jinyiwei is simply the people's defender.
So in this way, the case was completely solved, and the Marquis of Zhongyong and his brocade guards once again defended the peace and contentment of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
All the men were executed, the women and children were confiscated and then other Jinyi guards were given as slaves, all property was confiscated and returned to the inner treasury, and the internal cleaning of the Jinyi Wei was completed in a way that everyone was happy about......
Of course, there is no need to mention the sorrow of those unlucky guys when they cut off their heads, comparable to the snowfall in June.
