Section 5 The Eight Traitors (1)

In the early morning, Taiyuan City is bathed in the golden morning light, setting off the tall and majestic city wall more majestic, and the mountains in the distance are undulating layer by layer, which adds a magnificent scenery to Taiyuan City.

Suddenly, the quiet of the morning was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and the birds near the city gate were frightened by the sudden sound and jumped into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

I saw that Guo Yi, who was wearing heavy armor, took the lead and led 10,000 Longxiang iron cavalry soldiers to gallop out of the south gate of Taiyuan; Immediately afterwards, Wei Wuhu, the garrison of the Yue cavalry battalion, also led more than 7,000 iron cavalry soldiers to rush out, and the two iron cavalry armies were fully armed and murderous, which was intimidating.

Subsequently, the two iron cavalry armies, totaling more than 17,000 people, divided into eight rolling torrents on the official road, and rushed in different directions, not knowing where to go to conquer.

When the people who came and went nearby saw such an elite and powerful army of iron cavalry passing in front of them, they were all startled by the blood and courage of the iron cavalry soldiers, and they hid on both sides of the official road and whispered about what happened. For a while, people in Taiyuan City were panicked, all kinds of rumors were spreading in the city, and many local officials in Taiyuan couldn't sit still, and they found Liu Yunwei to ask what happened, but these officials didn't even see Liu Yunwei's face, and were directly blocked by Zhou Tianyi on the grounds that "the military situation is big and must not be disclosed".

As a result, the civil and military officials of Taiyuan City began to speculate, and some even thought that the thieves had defeated the officers and soldiers on the front line, and they would soon be killed under Taiyuan City. Liu Yunwei didn't care about these rumors at all, but just ordered the whole city of Taiyuan City to be under martial law in order to prevent possible turmoil, and at the same time deployed the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion in the city, and fully took over the defense of Taiyuan City. At this time, Liu Yunwei has more important things to pay close attention to, that is, the Eight Great Jin Merchants!

Jiexiu City, Fan's compound.

By this generation, the Jiexiu Fan family has developed into the head of the eight Jin merchants. The head of the housekeeper was named Fan Yongdou, who ran a lot of business in Zhangjiakou when he was young, and had many contacts with various Mongolian departments; Subsequently, Fan Yongdou often led caravans to sell animal skins and ginseng in various parts of Liaodong, and gradually got in touch with the Jiannu regime at that time. In order to make the Fan family obtain huge benefits, Fan Yongdou disregarded the national righteousness of the country, and together with the other seven shameless Jin merchants, he provided Jiannu with all kinds of information needed, and transported a large number of strategic materials for the Tartar captivity. Fan Yongdou and the other seven Jin merchants acted as spies and servants for the Tartar captivity, just to exchange for astronomical wealth for themselves, but they didn't know that their actions had caused a huge disaster for Huaxia!

Which are the seven Jin merchants who betrayed the country with Fan Yongdou? These traitor merchants are: Yuci Chang's family, Taigu Cao's family, Jiexiuhou's family, Qixian Qu's family, Pingyang's Kang's family, Taigu's Kong family, and Qixian's Qiao family.

With the addition of the Jiexiu Fan family, there are a total of eight.

Any of these eight Jin merchants is rich and rivals the existence of the country, their industries and shops are not only all over Shanxi, and even in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, they have purchased many industries, and the eight Jin merchants have close contacts with local generals and ministers in the capital, which can be said to have deep roots and huge financial resources. However, it can be said that most of the wealth of these eight Jin merchants is stained with the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all dirty gains obtained by selling the country and ancestors!

On this day, Fan Yongdou leaned on the kang in his room and whispered something with the head of the Hou family, "Hou Million", who came to visit.

"Master Fan, you said that we only sent a little guy to deal with that Liu Yunwei this time, nothing will happen, right? I've never been sure! Then Liu Yunwei has His Majesty's holy decree in his hands! In case ......"

Fan Yongdou laughed coldly for a while, and then said very indifferently: "Although the Hou family master can rest assured, there is nothing in case!" Then Liu Yunwei is just a martial artist, a pig-like person, we don't need to give him face! Even if he had His Majesty's decree in his hands, so what? The old man can guess the content of the holy decree, and it is nothing more than asking us to pay the officials and soldiers to quell the rebellion. ”

Hou Million asked with some concern: "Then according to Fan Dangjia's meaning, we won't pay this money?" That's a rebellion! ”

"Out!" Fan Yongdou said with a smile: "Your Majesty has made an order, we have to give some face." I think, let's get together and make a thousand eight hundred taels, we are all small businesses, and we don't have much money! Besides, why do those stinky soldiers go to the battlefield to pay for us? ”

Hou Million also laughed shamelessly when he heard this, and said: "Fan is right! What does the court have to do with us when the army of thieves killed and killed? Whoever likes to fight will fight, let's do our own business and live our own little life! ”

"One more point, since Liu Yunwei has led the army to quell the chaos, the troops on the Jiliao Governor's Mansion are bound to be reduced a lot, this is big news!"

Hou Million looked at Fan Yongdou, who was smiling, and instantly understood, and said, "What the Fan family master means is to sell this news!" ”

"That's right! I think the Qing side will be very interested in this news, and we will definitely be able to sell it for a good price! ”

The two had decided to discuss, so they found a confidant and quickly sent the news out.

Not long after the henchman who sent away the news left, Fan Yongdou and Hou Million heard the sound of someone running outside the house.

Fan Yongdou was immediately a little displeased, frowned, and asked, "Who is running?" There are no rules at all! ”

As soon as the words fell, a small servant pushed open the door in a panic and said in despair: "The master of the house is not good! The officers and soldiers rushed in, saying that they wanted to arrest the traitors! ”

Fan Yongdou and Hou Wanwan were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they all jumped up, looking at each other with incredible expressions, and both of them were surprised in their hearts.

Fan Yongdou calmed himself down for a moment, and then asked sharply, "Whose soldiers and horses are they?" And there is no royal law anymore! ”

"It's Hanwei Army! Conquer the soldiers and horses of the general manager Liu Yunwei! ”

"It's over!" When Fan Yongdou heard this, this thought instantly popped up in his heart, and he sat down on the chair with a pale face. And Hou Million was even more unbearable, and sat directly on the ground, sobbing directly in fright.

"How dare he really do it? Isn't he afraid that a few ministers who are good with us will trouble him in the future? Then Liu Yunwei is crazy! Hou Million said loudly with a crying voice.

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but laugh miserably when he heard this, and said: "Then Liu Yunwei arrested us for the crime of treason, how much evidence does our family have dealings with the Qing army and the Mongols?" There is definitely no time to destroy this evidence, and it is bound to fall into the hands of the Han Wei army. Then Liu Yunwei got these evidence, we are a big crime of the Nine Clans, who else will help us then? Those so-called phases and non-come-down stones are God blessed! ”

As he was talking, he only heard the sound of iron armor, and then a team of abnormal and elite Hanwei soldiers drove into the courtyard and went straight to the room where Fan Yongdou and Hou Million were.

The first member, Han Weijun, looked coldly at the panicked Fan Yongdou and Hou Million, and said with a sneer: "You are Fan Yongdou? Then you are the Hou family's Hou million! Just right, lest we go back to you! Take them all with me! ”

After Fan Yongdou and Hou Million were escorted out of the room by the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry soldiers, they saw that the entire Fan family compound was already full of people, hundreds of elite soldiers were searching for evidence of Fan Yongdou's collaboration with the enemy, and boxes of gold and silver treasures were also moved to the courtyard, and the Fan family's family members were all concentrated.

"It's over! It's all over! The hard work of several generations of my Fan family is gone! ”

Fan Yongdou was already crying without tears when he saw this scene, while Hou Million was already and urine, and he was a little delirious because of the scene in front of him.

The scene of the Fan family was also staged in the rest of the family, almost at the same time, the Yuci Chang family, the Taigu Cao family, the Jiexiu Hou family, the Qi County Qu family, the Pingyang Fu Kang family, the Taigu Kong family, and the Qi County Qiao family were all rushed into by the extremely powerful Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers, boxes of gold and silver treasures, sealed evidence of collaborating with the enemy, stacks of house deeds and title deeds, and groups of traitors were gathered by the Iron Cavalry soldiers.

Guo Yi personally led the troops to arrest the Qiao family in Qi County, and the Qiao family's gold and silver mountains had already opened Guo Yi's eyes, but later the soldiers copied out pure gold winter melons and pure silver winter melons shocked Guo Yi, and the wealth of these Jin merchants has far exceeded Guo Yi's expectations.

"I'm afraid that these Jin merchants have more wealth than Your Majesty, right? Now that it is developed, my Jiliao Governor's Mansion will not be in financial danger in the next few years! ”

In this way, Long Xiang Tieqi raided homes and arrested them in various places for a total of six days, and the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City also spent six days in panic, and then a shocking news came: "The most powerful Jiexiu Fan family in Shanxi, Yuci Chang family, Taigu Cao family, Jiexiu Hou family, Qi County Qu family, Pingyang Fu Kang family, Taigu Kong family, Qi County Qiao family, these eight wealthy merchants are suspected of traitor and provide all kinds of information to the Qing army, and now they have been ordered to raid and arrest the house by Liu Yunwei, the chief of the conquest and suppression, the Jiliao Governor, and the army breaker!" ”

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shaking the people of the entire Taiyuan City, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Just when the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City were suspicious, a team of elite iron cavalry soldiers escorted one cart after another into Taiyuan City, and the carts were full of boxes of gold and silver treasures and bloodless prisoners. In an instant, the entire Taiyuan City was a sensation, and hundreds of people poured into the streets to watch, just to see what kind of face the eight families who were once high above are now!
