Chen Bangyan was unmoved, waved his hand, and said: "Take them all away, tomorrow at noon, the vegetable market will be beheaded for public display, the land property will be confiscated, and the family property will be confiscated!" ”

The swordsmen and axes set up the squires and the heroes and ran out, and the curses and howls rang out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The soldiers and horses in the city of Guilin, which should have been quiet, were chaotic, and the soldiers and horses on the streets were carrying torches, and under the leadership of Zhang Jiayu, the commander of the city, they poured like a tide towards the deep mansion compounds in all directions of the city. From a distance, almost every gate of the mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

On the side of the high wall in the west of the city, the family members of the Guan Mansion waited with machetes and sticks in their hands, listening to the movement outside the wall with bated breath.

Outside the wall, Zhang Jiayu waved his hand, and more than a dozen bird-fired soldiers fired at the big lock, and the lock was broken in a few clicks.

"The door is open, and Ben will rush with him!" After the door was kicked open, Zhang Jiayu drew his waist knife, raised his arms, and rushed in first, and the sergeants followed closely behind, rushing in, shouting: "Under the order of the governor, raid the house, don't move!" ”

The housekeeper of the Guan Mansion pushed several of the housekeepers on duty beside him, and several of them glanced at each other, and with a hint of madness, they rushed up brandishing machetes.

Behind Zhang Jiayu, a row of bird-fired soldiers stepped forward and fired at these family members together. Several of them were instantly beaten into a sieve, and they were so soft that they fell to the ground.

When the sergeants of the previous team were changing the gunpowder, the butler still wanted to take the opportunity to resist, and the other team of bird-gun soldiers who had already prepared immediately aimed the guns at the butler and shouted: "Don't move, kneel!" ”

Seeing that it was useless to resist, the butler finally relented, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Don't kill me, I know where the master's money and food are hidden!" ”

All night, the guards and soldiers were raiding the mansions of the squires involved in the case, and cartloads of valuable things, including grain, horses, and all kinds of gold and silver treasures, were escorted to the treasury of the governor's yamen and gathered together, piled up as high as a hill.

The bookkeeper in the yamen only made a rough estimate, and there were a total of 1.23 million taels of gold and silver, and more than 10,000 stones of coarse and fine grain, which was only the income of the seven or eight squires involved in the case in Guilin City, which were plundered. The mansions of the squires involved in the case in other state capitals were still being raided at the same time, and the gold, silver and grain were transported to the Guilin Governor's Yamen overnight.

While the sergeants confiscated the gold, silver and grain, they also searched out the account books of the fields and acres hidden in the palace, which were ironclad evidence that the inferior gentry had embezzled the military land.

When the day was slightly bright, the raid was almost coming to an end, and the sergeants read out the notices of Anmin in accordance with Chen Bangyan's orders, disposed of the corpses of the family members in the various houses, collected weapons, counted the materials, money and food, cleaned the courtyard, and took care of the female dependents. At the same time, the wounded sergeants were sent back to the yamen for treatment.

Chen Bangyan was busy all night, but there was not much fatigue on his face, he was still full of energy and his eyes were focused. He knew that there was still one in Guilin City that had not been raided, and that was the Jingjiang Palace.

The King of Jingjiang is a clan domain, ranked as a super-grade, under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion, he has no power to arrest, let alone kill, but the Jingjiang Mansion is the one that privately swallows the military land of the Weisu in Guangxi, and it is the first evil, if he can't be allowed to spit out the invaded military land, this operation will not be successful.

After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand to summon the student and bureaucrat Zuoma Yingfang, and whispered a few words, Ma Yingfang had to order a dozen soldiers to turn around and go out of the governor's yamen and go to the Jingjiang palace in the north of the city.

……

Jingjiang Wangfu is located in the northwest of Guilin Mansion City, the city is in four days, sits in the north and faces south, the wall is more than two zhang high, there are battlements, there are moats around it, there are doors on all sides, the south is called Duanli, the north is said to be Chengzhi, the east is said to be Liren, the west is said to be Zunyi. It is a veritable city within a city.

In the early morning, for the king of Jingjiang in the royal city, this time was still a long night before waking up, and as usual, he had to wait a few more hours before he began to live a wonderful day.

When the chief eunuch of the palace hurriedly entered the dormitory, there were still a few bright lights in the dormitory, which looked dim and dark against the bright sunlight outside.

A large figure dressed in a cyan palace gauze embroidered with dragon patterns reclined on a luxurious short couch. Obviously, he is the master of the royal city - the king of Jingjiang.

There was a half-naked woman snuggling on the left and right of King Jingjiang, they gently stroked his body, the snow-white flesh showed its beauty, and King Jingjiang was sleepy-eyed and motionless.

There were also a few young girls in transparent clothes singing and dancing lightly on the carpet in front of the collapse, their slender waists writhing tiredly and writhing.

After the chief eunuch entered the hall, he was not surprised to see this scene, he lifted the green veil of the inner hall, waved his hand to the dancing girls, and walked straight to the collapse.

The dancers had been dancing all night, and they were already exhausted, and after getting the gesture of the chief eunuch to allow them to retreat, they hurriedly withdrew from the dormitory, and the breeze brought up by the brisk pace made the dim candle flame flicker slightly.

The chief eunuch walked quickly to the side of King Jingjiang, and shouted with a sharp voice: "Lord Wang! Rajah! ”

With a sharp voice, King Jingjiang was really awakened, he rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Oh, it's Wu Companion, what's the matter with waking up this clan on the third watch?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's already time." The chief eunuch pointed out the window and said with a smile and tears.

"Really?" King Jingjiang rubbed his eyes again in surprise, let out a long yawn, shook his head, and said, "Why is it dawn just after falling asleep?" What the hell is going on to wake up this clan so early! ”

"Lord Qiqi, something is wrong!" The chief eunuch roughly told King Jingjiang what happened in the city last night.

"What? Wang Yingke and Mr. Guan were captured and killed? The mansion was also copied by Chen Bangyan? King Jingjiang was caught off guard and exclaimed, his face full of shock.

"It's true!"

"Shhh ――”

After being surprised for a while, King Jingjiang couldn't help but say hatefully: "Damn it! Ben Fan underestimated him, but he didn't expect him to be so bold! ”

The chief eunuch said with a bitter face: "Not only that, the governor of the yamen just sent someone to say that in the vegetable market at noon today, Chen Bangyan will personally supervise the squire who occupies a large number of military fields and fertile fields from 36 private households, and conceals the payment of taxes, and said that he wants to invite the prince to watch the punishment!" ”

"Thirty-six?! Hiss! - King Jingjiang gasped again, and even the tone of his voice couldn't help but bring a trace of trill: "What a ruthless person, where is this guy a scholar, he is clearly a butcher, a butcher who kills people without blinking!" ”

"Worse than a butcher!" The chief eunuch on the side also echoed: "I really don't know who gave this white-faced scholar such a thief's courage, and this Chen Bangyan knew that the prince occupied the most military land, but this morning he sent someone to invite the prince to watch the execution, which is obviously harboring evil intentions!" ”
