Just when Xiao Xuan was dealing with some problems in the army's expansion and training, some people in the capital saw that the army led by Xiao Xuan had encountered such a thing after returning and there had been no movement, so they relaxed. Time is gradually entering the cold winter wax moon, and there is still a lot of time before the New Year's Festival, and the time when the wind is rumbling has gradually passed.

In a middle- and lower-level but not too inferior green building in the outer city of the capital, a group of "distinguished guests" gathered together are also secretly discussing and communicating news here. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, although he did not grasp Jinyiwei very tightly, and there was no sign or action of raising a prison, such an unreasonable new emperor still made many people feel panic. Officials did not dare to meet and visit frequently, and places such as restaurants and brothels in the city were considered too private to be used as important places for communication.

Therefore, in places where there are not too many people and there are not too many mouths and eyes, private meetings have become a means of communication and contact.

"In this way, our son of heaven can't even be compared to that carpenter son in many ways...

"Yes, that carpenter Son of Heaven also knows how to support the eunuch party and divide and win over, and now this Son of Heaven seems to want to be a great general...

In a room that was not very spacious, several young people talked without scruples, and several cronies in charge of Wangfeng had isolated the idlers and others far away. Even the secret room where the bustards educate the new "chicks" moved their nests at this time.

However, at this time, there are still some people who advise: "If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and the new emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and his purpose of seeking military power in his hands and getting rid of the shackles of the palace has been revealed." Actually, you can put yourself in their shoes. If a person can be a serious emperor and not deserve it, he can enjoy a beautiful and relaxed life without enjoying it. What does it mean to be a toiling boy in the barracks every day? must have the ambition of Taizu or Cao Mang. I still don't believe that such a person has encountered three rebellions in a row in more than a year since he ascended the throne, and he has not made much action... ”

"Yes, when I returned to Beijing this time, I encountered the rebellion of Yan Mingtai and others, and I only dealt with the three clans related to Yan Mingtai, and I didn't raise a big prison, which is really abnormal...

"It's long overdue to do it, if the Son of Heaven wants to raise a big prison, he won't wait until now with his monkey impatience...

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door of the meeting place.

"Childe is not good! The house is out of water! The whole street is waterlogged! "Before anyone entered the door, someone outside the door said so eagerly.

The people who came had a lot of discussions beforehand, and they also agreed on a lot of secret prisons. What does it mean to "walk on the water" is something that many people understand ...

"I didn't expect that Chongzhen was really a man-eating beast... What are we going to do! ”

"What else can I do? It's definitely too late to go back to the city now, and nine times out of ten it's self-defeating! Don't hesitate to do so! Evacuate! At this time, someone suddenly reflected. More than a dozen gentlemen and cronies who represented the conspiracy of various families also felt the pressure at this time, and seized all the time to pack their bags and get on the carriage and horses that had been prepared for a long time. Although many people forgot to pay, no one dared to ask for money from these people with backgrounds in this kind of middle and lower class Qinglou secret prostitution place outside the city.

Within a quarter of an hour after these men left, more than twenty rangers approached from the direction of the capital.

"Where are the people!" One of the young officers at the head asked bluntly after kicking open a door.

"What people ... Yes... Master Jun... We don't know ... ”

"Yes, all the prostitutes are here, I don't know what's going on today, the business doesn't seem to be good, there are a total of about a dozen customers, all in the West Courtyard...

Seeing that the people were not honest, the young officers and soldiers, who had long been prepared to quickly torture to extract confessions, immediately launched a search and arrest as quickly as possible, and arrested a total of five leaders, including two women in charge of affairs. Due to the lack of manpower, when the torture is dispersed, there are usually only two teenagers in charge of interrogating one person.

One of them, an old bustard who was only about thirty years old, saw that some teenagers who had not yet grown their hair and were probably not at all for the first time, and the tension at the beginning was reduced a lot. While Qiubo secretly sent it, Chu Chu said in a pitiful whisper: "The military master spares his life!" The concubine knows that there is something hidden in a place, not far away, and the concubine will tell you a big news, which will definitely make the military master establish a lot of credit, but this credit is not willing to let other people know about it compared to the military master, right? ”

The people who came to search were not carefully selected officers and soldiers, because at this time, some suspicious places outside the city were not the focus of Xiao Xuan's operation at this time, so all the people who came were three or five veterans and a dozen recruits to form a temporary search team to clean up some places around the capital. Obviously, for Xiao Xuan at this time, obtaining enough assets safely is one of the goals, and as for bringing the key people to justice, it is not a very important goal.

When they saw that the veteran and the commander were not in the sight, the two recruits also became active at this time, but they seemed to have some concerns. Of course, the old bustard, who is not bad, also saw it, and this is also a common performance of many young prostitutes who have just entered the Tao, so he lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, Master Jun!" Normally, people with such a status as concubines do not accept guests. If you're like those people who don't live long, you won't be in charge, will you? ”

Hearing such a plausible explanation, the two teenagers also let down their guards, and after signaling to each other, they were silent for a long time before whispering: "Don't fool us!" Don't think that this alone will lead us to favoritism! ”

When recalling the regulations and laws and disciplines in the barracks, the two teenagers suddenly found that the army did not have too strict regulations in this regard, and they couldn't help but feel surprised. Of course, concealing the truth and conspiring against betrayal, the two of them are still very important.

"The military master is not an ordinary person at first glance, I heard that the Son of Heaven in the capital has only seen many people of the age of the military master, how does the concubine feel...

As if sensing the urgency of time, before preparing for the arquebus, the two teenagers also gestured to each other and pulled the charming woman to a more secret place to indulge completely...
