Cui Mingan opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Yang Chong, aren't you afraid of letting me out and talking nonsense?" ”

Yang Chong said indifferently: "I let you go for the sake of Cui Hongdu, Cui Yao, Cui Chuzhi, and Cui Minshou, I don't need you to go to Hebei, Cui Yao bought Xing Ruyan's original house, you and Xing Ruyan live a good life in Chang'an, raise your son, and usually have time to see Cui Shangqi and Cui Wan'er." ”

Cui Mingan's eyes showed a fierce light, stared at Yang Chong and said, "Change places, I don't want to be the bait for your hunting." Although Xing Ruyan thinks he has kept the secret, in fact, your subordinates must have discovered everything in the tunnels and secret rooms, with your strength, with those materials, there is no need to ask us again for many things, so as soon as you arrived in Chang'an, you exiled the others, and left us in order to attract people outside Chang'an, so that they thought that there was still a chance to take away the information. ”

There are really no ordinary people who can be the head of the big family, and even in this state, Cui Mingan guessed that Yang Chong's subordinates had discovered the tunnel through Yang Chong's arrangement. Yang Chong smiled and said: "Then we make a deal, you do a good job, I will change your residence, it turns out that Li Yuan gave Duan Decao's official residence." ”

Cui Min wiped a handful of sweat and said bitterly: "I understand, Wei Xiaojie ran away, but there are still people who haven't run away, the moment I walk out of the gate of the Yueguo Mansion, Chang'an should suddenly start searching for people; As soon as the manhunt was over, Xing Ruyan would be sent to my residence, and everyone thought I had betrayed her. Yang Chong, no wonder Li Yuan has been defeated by you again and again, he is really calculating. ”

In broad daylight, Chang'an City was suddenly under martial law, and Zuo Yiwei's army marched into Chang'an from the seven gates, and began to arrest people everywhere and raid merchants; In addition to the county offices of Wannian and Chang'an, Sun Fujia, Feng Deyi, and Niu Fangzhi began to sit in court and ask questions in the official offices of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple respectively. To the dumbfounding of the observers, it turned out that they were all old cases from the past few years, and these people were either involved in the activities of Li Yuan, Wang Kai and other gangs, or secretly supported a considerable amount of money.

To the north of the crossroads of Renhe City, there is a small alley that is not passable by cars and horses, and there were originally only three families in the 200-meter-deep alley, after Xing Ruyan, a famous prostitute from the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Wuji, the owner of the South Tibetan Monastery of Tiemen Temple, were sealed, only the family of Yu Song, a wealthy businessman, lived in it, and it seemed deserted. Listening to the constant noise of running on the street, the black lacquered gate of the Yu family was closed tightly, and no one entered or exited for half a day.

Jiao Jun squeezed into the alley with three hundred soldiers, leaving only one hundred soldiers at the door, and the rest tore open the seals of the Xing and Li families, and under the leadership of two captains, they drilled into the courtyards of the two families, and five sturdy soldiers stepped forward and knocked on the door of Yu's house; After a long time, an unhappy voice asked, "Who?" ”

"Zuo Yiwei checks, open the door quickly." The soldier who knocked on the door shouted loudly, and the inside still replied unhurriedly: "What's wrong with Zuo Yiwei, our master is from the Yu family in Jiangnan." ”

Jiao Junlang laughed loudly: "What about the people of the Yu family, we were ordered to search, and if we didn't open the door again, we smashed the door." ”

Just when the two soldiers were about to slam the door, the black-lacquered door opened, and the housekeeper showed his head and greeted Jiao Jun with a smile: "I heard that Master Jiao has been promoted, hurry up and invite inside." ”

Jiao Jun waved his hand and rushed into the courtyard with the soldiers, and the ten soldiers lined up at the door with great experience, drawing their bows and arrows; Jiao Jun instructed the housekeeper: "Go, call out your master and all the family members." ”

The housekeeper asked the family to shout, and said with a bow in the face of Jiao Jun: "The master's family went out, and they haven't come back yet." ”

More than 20 slaves and maids were shouted out, and the soldiers searched room by room, but they really didn't find anyone, Jiao Jun smiled slyly, and motioned to the two soldiers to grab the housekeeper and tie them up, and then asked the housekeeper slowly: "Where is the entrance to the tunnel?" ”

"Authentic." The housekeeper struggled and said angrily: "We are a family of rules, how can there be authenticity." ”

The three soldiers who followed closely behind Jiao Jun immediately took people to investigate everywhere, and the housekeeper only found out at this time that the three people were not like people in the army, but more like officials who solved cases; In less than half an hour, the three of them discovered the entrance to the tunnel. Jiao Jun nodded, this is like the words, the most important thing in the tunnel that Yu Song quietly dug is to keep it secret, in order to facilitate entry and exit, it will not be designed to be too hidden, and the people trained by Tiangu should be fine.

The housekeeper was really anxious, shouting for the family members to stop the officers and soldiers, but after the soldiers killed six people on the spot, all the people of the Yu family lost their courage and obediently squatted in the corner with their heads in their hands. Jiao Jun commanded the soldiers, throwing burning wood into the tunnel, and the furniture and quilts that were broken into pieces were constantly added according to the fire; There were cheers from the Xing family next door, the tunnels of the two families were indeed connected, the smoke drifted over, and the wall that was suspected by Tianwei was controlled by the switch on the Yu family's side.

The Perak battalion blasted open the stone gate, and the soldiers followed the smoke through the passage of fifty meters, and went out through the exit of another small house, and the troops on the street saw the smoke and ran to support; Yu Song's family was all there, but Yu Song and a few guests escaped over the wall. Jiao Jun immediately released two Tibetan mastiffs, traced them all the way, and finally surrounded Yu Song and others in a house at the end of the street; Since pedestrians are closed to pedestrians on the street, this is the farthest distance Yu Song can escape.

Yu Song didn't have any fear, but there was a look of relief in his eyes, and he didn't give Jiao Jun a chance to persuade him to surrender at all, brandishing his long sword and cutting off the head of a soldier in front of him. Zuo Yiwei's soldiers immediately formed a battle formation and attacked with the cooperation of crossbow archers; The battle was fierce and abnormal, after Zuo Yiwei paid for thirty-two lives, all five people, including Yu Song, were killed, and a middle-aged man in the house committed suicide by cutting his throat, Jiao Jun wiped the bloodstains, recognized it as Xiao Jing, the prince of Lanling County, and couldn't help but sigh.

An Xiuren and Cao Zheng were caught in the Hushang residential area, and when they arrived at Wannian County, they were recognized by Xu Kang, the commander of Wannian County. An Xiuren and Cao were not afraid of death, and Jiang Duo, who rushed over, directly ordered, dragged to the door of the yamen and beheaded; Within a day, more than 70 people were killed who did not repent on the spot.

The standard of punishment is the same everywhere, and all those who have blood debts or are loyal to the Li Yuan group will be decided. Merchants who have supported money have written a letter of repentance, and they can go home after paying a tenfold fine; All those who participated in various activities were detained, and the verdict was made after the investigation of the case, and the hidden pile arranged by Cui Mingan in Chang'an, as long as all the people who were not removed were arrested, the wealthy family was sifted again.
