The patrol press Yushi Yamen has been keeping an eye on Jin Shenghuan, Chen Shangwen and his party have just entered the Shuai Mansion, and a copy of the latest information is placed on Dong Xuecheng's desk.

"This Chen Shangwen also has some background, he is not only a puppet Ming Jinshi at the beginning of this year, but also a confidant of Wang Kefan, who served as the county magistrate of Ningzhou, and his family is still a famous maritime merchant in Guangzhou, and he has a lot of access in the puppet Ming court. Chen Shangwen had just come to Nanchang Mansion a few days ago and stayed in Jin Shenghuan's Mansion for half a day......"

The person in charge of investigating the case was the official Mao San, who was originally a minor Jiupin official who was not in the stream, because he served as the spy leader of the Imperial History Yamen, and followed Dong Xuecheng to join the Han Army Banner, so he was more majestic than the average seven-rank official in the officialdom, and was known for his ruthlessness, but in front of the main master Dong Xuecheng, he seemed well-behaved and docile.

"Well done, go to the account room and pay ten taels of silver to see the reward." After finding out the details of the other party so quickly, Dong Xuecheng was very satisfied, waved his hand, and rewarded him generously.

"What the master has given him, the slave should do his best!" Mao San was overjoyed in his heart, although ten taels of silver was not much, but it was an affirmation of his work, and under the excitement, he said again: "Chen Shangwen just entered Nanchang Mansion, and he was targeted by my people, but the master had already confessed that he wanted to put a long line to catch big fish for these guys, so he didn't alarm them." Thanks to the master's clever calculation, this Chen Shangwen really went to Jin Shuai again, seeing that they were so urgent, they must be plotting something big! ”

Dong Xue has been an official for many years, and he is no longer interested in this kind of low-level sycophant, and asked: "After Chen Shangwen entered the city, where else did he go?" ”

"I didn't go anywhere else. I only bought some things at the He Ji grocery store in the south of the city, and then went to Shuaifu. ”

"Hmph, Jin Shenghuan is a dignified Jiangxi commander. What is not in the Shuaifu? Chen Shangwen ran to buy something, and this matter was very strange. Dong Xuecheng instructed: "Keep an eye on He Ji's grocery store for me, this may be a hidden stake in Nanban, and Chen Shangwen will have to contact them sooner or later." ”

"Master, my lord!" Mao San was startled and shouted: "I was almost shaken by him, I'll arrange it!" ”

Dong Xuecheng finally showed a smug smile and waved his hand to send him down. Frowning and thinking for a while, he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and go out, and went to find Zhang Yutian with that information.

Mao San was ordered to go out. Going straight to Ho Kee's grocery store, he and several of his subordinates were dressed in civilian clothes and walked all the way, so as not to startle the snake. It's almost time to get to the Ho Kee grocery store. They flashed and turned into a house on the side of the street.

This is the hidden pile to monitor He Ji's grocery store, after Chen Shangwen entered the city, he only came here, of course Mao San would not be negligent, he pretended to be stupid in front of Dong Xuecheng just now, but he was just making fun and hiding clumsy, otherwise wouldn't he seem more clever than the master?

The deputy, who remained here, greeted him. After reporting the situation during this time, Chen Shangwen left. Everything is normal on the surface of Ho Kee's grocery store, but two strangers with suspicious whereabouts entered the shop and were immediately invited into the back hall, and they have not come out yet.

"This shop really doesn't seem to be simple!" Mao San has a lot of experience in investigating cases, and he smells a special smell.

"Maotou, don't you think it's a little weird?" The deputy asked.

"What's wrong?"

"This case is too smooth." The deputy said: "Chen Shangwen is doing something that loses his head, it stands to reason that he should be careful everywhere and leave no clues, but let's follow Chen Shangwen's ass, but we almost check accurately, what do you want, this is too strange." ”

Spies fight with wits and courage, and in the process of investigating the case, they often encounter situations where clues are interrupted, but Chen Shangwen's case is completely different, although his whereabouts are strange and he is also carefully covering up, but the relevant clues have not been cut off, and it seems that he intends to stay there and wait for others to investigate.

"I think that this may be a counter-plot of the Southern Barbarians."

"Anti-intrigues? I'm raping your mother! ”

Mao San scolded: "Lord Dong asked us to investigate the evidence of his collusion with the false Ming, then there must be this evidence, and if you can't find it, you have to give him a piece of evidence, understand?" Now that the evidence has been delivered to you, you can do your errand well in a down-to-earth manner, why do you care about so many idle things? ”

The deputy hesitated and said, "What if, what if Jin Shuai really rebels?" ”

"Salty and radish don't worry about it, what did Jin Shuai do when he rebelled? Impatient to live? "Mao San, as Dong Xuecheng's confidant, knows some secret things between high-level people, from Zhang Yutian to Dong Xuecheng, he doesn't believe that Jin Shenghuan will rebel, and he collects these evidences just to rip off the bamboo.

Of course, this kind of thing can't spread casually, Mao San didn't explain much, but just ordered his subordinates to concentrate on investigating the case: "Keep an eye here, I'll go to the Shuaifu to have a look......"

After closely monitoring for a day and a night, Jin Shenghuan's handsome mansion did not move, Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng asked several times in a row, which caused a lot of pressure on Mao San, but fortunately, by the evening of the second day, it was like a bright flower, and the case suddenly made major progress.

The breakthrough was still opened from the He Ji grocery store, and the two strangers finally left that night and quietly went to Lei Defu's home.

Lei Defu is one of Jin Shenghuan's staff, and he said that he was sick at home in the past two days, and he never went to Jin Shenghuan's Shuai Mansion, so he slipped out of Mao San's sight, but after careful investigation, it was found that Lei Defu had a strange whereabouts in the past two days, and he had many contacts with another person who frequently entered Shuai's Mansion......

Early the next morning, Jiangxi Governor Yamen, Dong Xuecheng came to visit again in a hurry, he was a frequent visitor here, familiar with the door, and went directly into the back hall.

"Open the military gate, they finally have a move!" Dong Xuecheng said excitedly: "Lei Defu disguised himself early this morning, cut off his braids and pretended to be a monk, and was escorted out of Nanchang City by the guards of the Shuai Mansion, and was hurrying to the southwest. What to do? Do you want to send someone to get him back? ”

"Pretending to be a monk? This method is too clumsy, and Red Fu has made it clear that he is going to the south. Zhang Yutian frowned, the south is the Southern Ming, due to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's implementation of the shaving order, only the monk's hairstyle can safely pass through the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Yes, as long as Lei Defu is arrested, he will immediately have conclusive evidence, and Jin Shenghuan can't rely on it if he wants to!" Dong Xuecheng was beaming, as if he had seen Jin Shenghuan kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, and offered Jinshan Yinshan with both hands.

Zhang Yutian stood up and spun around a few times, suddenly stopped, turned around and said nervously: "There is something wrong with this matter, how can Jin Shenghuan really play it, could it be that he really plans to rebel?" ”

"Huh? No way? How dare he be? ”

Dong Xuecheng came to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry. It is normal for Nanming to send envoys to recruit and surrender, but it is not unusual for Jin Shenghuan to send envoys to pay a return visit, which shows that the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement and are conducting specific consultations.

What to do? Jin Shenghuan has a heavy army, if he really rejects the Qing Dynasty and returns to the Ming Dynasty, no one in Jiangxi can restrain him, and Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng are worried about their lives.

It's not realistic to run for their lives quickly, it's hard to determine whether this matter is true or false for the time being, the two of them can't leave their posts without permission, and even if they can escape with their lives, they can't bear the charge of forcing the general to rebel against the army and losing the land of a province in Jiangxi.

Not only did he panic, Zhang Yutian also had no good way, people were swordsmen, I was fish and meat, what the two of them relied on was nothing more than the official skin given to them by the Qing court, if Jin Shenghuan really made up his mind to rebel, this official skin would be useless, but would cause death.

"Jin Shenghuan covers the sky with one hand, Lei Defu must not be moved in Nanchang Mansion, and when he arrives at Linjiang Mansion, let Jiangning Green Camp intercept him!" Zhang Yutian thought about it again and again, and finally came up with an idea: "If you can stop him for a while, let's arrest Lei Defu first, there must be a confession under Miki, if Jin Shenghuan really has objections, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

When the Qing army entered Jiangxi, Hong Chengchou transferred from Nanzhili to Jiangning Green Battalion for reinforcements, of which Gao Jinkusuo was wiped out by the Gongyi Battalion in Ji'an Mansion, and another 5,000 men and horses were stationed in Linjiang Mansion. The Jiangning Green Battalion was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was not under the command of Jin Shenghuan, and it was the only armed force that Zhang Yutian could borrow.

In his mind, Lei Defu, as Jin Shenghuan's envoy, in addition to contacting Wang Kefan, may also go to Guangxi to meet Emperor Longwu, this circle will be at least two or three months, first Lei Defu will be secretly arrested back to Nanchang, and when Jin Shenghuan finds out that people are lost, it will be a few months later, during which he can report to the Qing court and transfer the Eight Banners to exterminate the rebels.

This is actually a bad idea, but Dong Xuecheng didn't see the hidden danger: "Okay, I'll send a fast horse to Linjiang Mansion, and I will definitely intercept him in front of Lei Defu!" ”

"Tell Lin Guangyuan of Linjiang Mansion that this matter is perfect, and the news must not be leaked, and the soldiers and horses sent are best dressed as bandits and robbers, except for Lei Defu, other entourage guards can't get rid of one, if the errand is done, this Fuding will be severely punished!" Zhang Yutian instructed again: "Also, since you are going to arrest Lei Defu, don't stare too closely in Nanchang City, so as not to startle the snake......"

Three days later, Lei Defu was secretly escorted back to Nanchang, and several of the guards he brought with him were either killed or wounded, and none of them escaped the net.

Looking at the secret letter hidden in the Buddhist scriptures, Zhang Yutian was surprised and delighted, surprised that Jin Shenghuan really colluded with Nan Ming and planned to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, and was happy that this shocking conspiracy was detected in time, and his hands and feet were clean, Jin Shenghuan was unaware of it, and there was enough time to solve this big trouble.

What he didn't expect was that when Jin Shenghuan sent Lei De back as an envoy, he secretly sent another group of people to follow behind, and after Lei De Fu was arrested, they did not act rashly, but found out the origin of the enemy and reported to Jin Shenghuan in time.

The deeds have been revealed, and they have to be reversed!

After Jin Shenghuan heard that Lei Defu was arrested, he launched a mutiny at the first time, erected the anti-Qing banner, and sent troops to control Nanchang City, capturing Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng. (To be continued......)
