The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

At the beginning of May of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the people of Xuanfu Town were panicked and the rumors were loud. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially on the road from Xuanfu to Datong and Taiyuan, whether it is day or night, the sound of iron riding is endless.

The army, the night is not closed, and the heralds form an impenetrable net, shrouding the scorching sky of the Xuanda border pass.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which probably means so.

The sky had just broken and the waning moon was still hanging high in the sky, and the residents of Taiyuan City were still sleeping.

Zhang Songrong and Taiyuan Tong sentenced Zhang Xinfa to ride a horse and move forward slowly, with several teams of heavily armed soldiers in front and behind, trotting all the way with neat steps, to a mansion located in the southeast area of Taiyuan City.

The mansion occupies such a vast area that it would take several hundred people to completely enclose it.

The exterior is even more gorgeous, with tall walls made of blue bricks and green tiles, vermilion pear wood gates and golden copper rings, and stone lions with fangs and claws placed in front of the mansion, all of which show the wealth of the owner of this mansion.

On the plaque on the gate, there are several big characters written with gold lacquer "Taiyuan Huangfu".

Qianhu Li Xianggui, like all the soldiers, was covered with mountain armor all over his body, and held a waist knife with a cold light in his hand.

Zhang Songrong dismounted and walked slowly to the door of this mansion, looked coldly at the two dead wind lamps hanging in front of the gate, turned his head and asked, "Li Qianhu, are the soldiers ready?" ”

Li Xianggui, who was holding a waist knife, said in a sullen voice: "General Qiyu, the brothers have surrounded this mansion, and several small doors are also guarded, ensuring that not even a single fly can fly out." ”

"Smash the door open!"

"No!"

Li Xianggui waved his big hand, and immediately there were sixteen soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, carrying a log as thick as a sea bowl to the gate, and with the order of the small flag next to him, the soldiers shouted the trumpet and began to bang on the door.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

A loud sound echoed through the streets on this cold, silent morning, like the roar of a monster.

The old Zhang Tou, the porter of the Huangfu, is already in his fifties this year, and he was originally a tenant in the countryside, but he borrowed the light of his distant nephew who was a steward in the Huangfu, and had to find a porter position.

To tell the truth, since he became this porter, his life has been much better than being a tenant for others.

The Huang family is one of the largest grain merchants in Taiyuan Prefecture, and there is naturally no shortage of food in the house.

"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"

Lao Zhangtou, who cherished the happy days, beat the gongs and drums in his hand vigorously, and soon, a team of about 50 people came with waist knives and guns.

The Huang family's business has become bigger and bigger in the past few decades, and there are naturally more than dozens of family members, but most of them are scattered.

"What happened ......"

After the leader of the Huangfu guards finished asking, the hard gate collapsed, and in a puff of dust and smoke, a team of men and horses rushed in.

"You bastards, do you know whose mansion this is? You dare to break the gate of the Huang family, do you know how much of a sin you have committed?

Let me tell you, as long as my lord sends a name card to the government office, you all have to squat at the number! ”

The loyal old Zhang Tou did not see the situation clearly, but it did not affect the psychological advantages he had established for a long time, and he still scolded in the haze.

Suddenly, the old man's originally loud shout stopped.

It turned out that a cold blade had reached his neck, and the coldness from the tip of the knife seemed to reach his heart, turning into a cold sweat flowing from his head.

"Lay down all your arms, or you'll be killed!"

With the indifferent voice coming, Lao Zhangtou's eyes, which were originally slightly presbyopia, finally saw what was happening in front of him clearly in the morning light.

At this time, in front of him stood a tall Ming officer with a full body of armor and a red mandarin duck jacket, looking at him coldly.

"The military master spares his life! The military master spares his life! Our grandfather is resting in the backyard. ”

Lao Zhangtou, who had been buried in his throat by the loess, had a very deep understanding of the truth of not suffering immediate losses, and immediately gave a correct answer, and also pointed to the direction.

"Lay down all your arms, or you'll be killed!"

The general sentence Zhang Xinfa repeated to the Huangfu family again, he did not want to cause a scene of rivers of blood.

Seeing that it was an official act, the Huang Mansion family put down the weapons in their hands and was obediently captured. Unless there is a rebellion, no one will dare to be an enemy of the government.

"Listen, everyone, no one is allowed to escape, and if you encounter a rebel, you will be killed! No violations of law and discipline! ”

"No!"

The hundreds of soldiers behind Li Xianggui responded in unison, and immediately rushed into the inner courtyard with knives, guns and firearms.

Soon, a series of high-pitched screams immediately sounded in this originally quiet and solemn mansion......

The relatives and soldiers hugged Zhang Songrong and walked to the inner courtyard, and along the way, they saw groups of servants and subordinates being escorted to the front yard by the soldiers.

Among them are also many people who look like young masters and young masters although they are disheveled.

At this time, a group of soldiers came over with an old man about sixty years old, disheveled but unusually strong.

"General Zhang, may I ask what crime Huang has committed to need a large army?"

This old man is Huang Yongfa, and Zhang Songrong is also an old man, he said with grief and indignation.

"Presumably you know better than me, fornicating with slaves and smuggling military supplies, I don't know if it is, or not?"

Zhang Songrong's face was solemn, and he stared at Huang Yongfa with one eye, full of terrifying murderous aura.

As Qin Governor said, these unscrupulous businessmen, colluding with the ministers of the court, under the banner of "not competing with the people for profit, hiding wealth from the people", but behind the scenes, they are doing dirty deeds.

The soldiers on the front line fought to the death, but they resold the military supplies to Jiannu and reported the news for the aliens, which was particularly hateful.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

They live a life of indulgence, and these ostensibly lowly merchants actually possess great wealth and power.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"

Huang Yongfa's heart sank to the bottom, but he was very confident in his defense.

Some time ago, the Fan family, the Liang family, and the Wang family had an accident and were arrested by the imperial court for the crime of fornicating with slaves.

Burned the letters exchanged with the Qing Dynasty, dismissed the spies who were originally stationed in the shops, and didn't even do business, in order to prevent the imperial court from attacking again, but I don't know what new evidence they have?

"If you want the Huang family to have a chance to survive, I will hope that you will think carefully about what you should do? That's all you say, listen to it or not? Take! ”

Looking at the old man, Zhang Songrong pointed out a few words, and then waved his hand, asking the soldiers to take Huang Yongfa, who had a dead face, away and detained him.
