"If the towns merge, they will be able to succeed in one battle!" Qian Kang high-fived and praised: "Clever! That's brilliant! ”

"Brother Qian's praise!" Hou Fangyu bowed humbly, and said: "It's rare for Brother Qian to come to Jinling once, I haven't finished the friendship of the landlord, please Brother Qian stay in my mansion for the time being, and wait for the younger brother to prepare a gift for the zodiac chief tomorrow, and Brother Qian will return to the honor with the little brother's book." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Qian Kang chuckled: "Childe is so gracious, but Qian is disrespectful." ”

"Haha......"

"Haha......"

When the words fell, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

This night, the Hou Mansion was lit up with lights, the lights were bright, Hou Fangyu set up a banquet, and also invited his concubine Li Xiangjun - one of Qin Huai's eight Yan, blowing, playing and singing, full of tricks, beautiful women mellow, and entertained Qian Kang to the fullest, and one or two smug laughter came out from time to time at the banquet.

The next day, two or three carts were pushed out of the Hou Mansion one after another, and a few boxes were placed on each cart, followed by seven or eight servants dressed in cotton robes and dressed as pale heads.

The last person who came out was dressed in a cocoon silk cotton robe, wearing a warm hat decorated with high-quality jade, and his body was short and fat.

There was also a housekeeper deacon wearing a round collar beside Qian Kang, and as soon as he left the gate of the Hou Mansion, he led Qian Kang to the north of the city.

In an alley outside the main gate of the Hou Mansion, several men in gray gathered together.

"Feng Dutang, they came out."

"I saw it, there are many people in the city, and it is inconvenient to act, and it is not too late to do it when we get to the river. Han Vice-Rong, what do you think? ”

"Hehe, the Holy Lord said that this matter is mainly Feng Dutang, and the lower officials are only responsible for assisting in the arrest of people, and everything is up to Dutang."

One of the two people who spoke was Feng Kezong, the governor of Jinyi Guard, and Han Cheng, the deputy general of the Gongsheng Battalion, Zhu Youhua sent both of them out this time, which shows the importance of this matter.

Feng Kezong nodded and said: "That dog thief has seven or eight sturdy slaves, and the steward of the Hou Mansion is also among them.

There is an order from the saint that the group of people who came from Wuchang must be caught, they must see people alive, and corpses must be seen in death, and there must not be a fish that slips through the net, let the news leak out, and those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

"Understood, the subordinate will go and transfer troops now!"

"Well, the Governor will also send men to gather together the good men scattered all about."

After a quick discussion between the two, the team split into three, one to continue to follow, and the other two to gather the manpower.

……

At the Nanjing Water Dividing Customs, after moving a few boxes of gold and silver property to the special ship that went east with the people, Qian Kang hurriedly said goodbye to the steward of the Hou Mansion.

Then boarded a special boat, the ship went west along the Yangtze River, and in less than half a day's effort, it drove out of the boundary of Yingtianfu and entered the Taiping Mansion.

When the ship reached a sparsely populated and slower river section of Taiping Mansion, four clippers suddenly chased up from behind, Qian Kang heard the report of the health servant that there was something unusual, and hurriedly went out of the cabin to check, and when he reached the deck, he saw the four clippers approaching quickly, and muttered to himself in disbelief: "This place is deserted, is it for me?" ”

Just when he was nervous and a little at a loss, the four clippers had already caught up with Qian Kang's boat, and soon became an encirclement.

"It can't be a robber of the road, right?" Seeing that he was about to come up, Qian Kang was suddenly so anxious that he hurriedly beckoned the servants to go out of the cabin with knives and sticks to resist.

It was also the first time that the servants had encountered this situation, they had heard of the ferocity of the bandits, but they did not expect to let them encounter it, they were all panicked, scurrying on the deck like a headless fly, although they all had knives, guns and long sticks in their hands, they obviously had no fighting spirit, and they were already timid before fighting.

"I really don't know whether to live or die!" Feng Kezong stood on the bow of the ship in the north, looking at their ugly appearance, smiling contemptuously, dozens of gray-clothed men behind him, holding waist knives and iron spears, ready to attack.

At this time, Qian Kang also saw Feng Kezong, Han Cheng and others, and saw that their movements were neat and uniform, their postures were vigorous and fierce, their swords, guns, bows and crossbows were complete, and they looked well-trained, so they knew that they were not ordinary water bandits.

Qian Kang's pupils shrank, his face was hesitant, and finally he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?" Why surround Qian's ship? If it is a good man on the road, Qian is willing to give all the gold and silver property for the support of the heroes. ”

Feng Kezong said: "We don't ask for money!" ”

"So what do you ask for?"

"Ask for what?" Feng Kezong sneered and said, "Please!" Left and right, jump over and take the dog thief and Bento! ”

"Order!"

The clipper quickly approached Qian Kang's boat, and the gray-clothed men jumped and rushed up with swords and spears.

"Sure enough, it's an official army!"

When he heard Feng Kezong call himself the governor, Qian Kang already understood everything.

Looking at the gray-clothed men who jumped up one after another on the four fast boats, and then looked at the many domestic servants on the deck who were already frightened and had no masters, and many of them were paralyzed on the ground, Qian Kang felt desperate in his heart!

He knew that he had too many secrets on him, and he must not be captured alive, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's a leak!"

Qian Kang looked up to the sky and sighed, and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

It was too late, it was fast, and just when Qian Kang rushed to the edge of the deck and wanted to jump into the river, Han Cheng drew his bow in his hand, "Whoosh! Sou! Two arrows, one of which missed, and the other arrow successfully shot into Qian Kang's calf, Qian Kang was in pain for a while, and suddenly stumbled and fell on the deck.

Hitting the target, Han Cheng quickly put away his bow and arrows, jumped a few times, rushed to Qian Kang's side, pressed his body fiercely with his knees, and pinched Qian Kang's throat with his fingers. Then he shouted to the servants on the ship: "By the order of the Son of Heaven, arrest the thief, the Son of Heaven has a word, only punish the first evil, and the rest will not care!" ”

With Qian Kang being captured alive, the only fighting spirit of the servants disappeared, and they knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, Feng Kezong personally commanded the surrender, searched for dirt, and chased the fish that slipped through the net, and after all Qian Kang's domestic servants were arrested, Han Cheng also successfully searched for the "Prince's Secret Edict" and correspondence documents from Qian Kang.

"Han Vice-Rong, what are you going to do with these boxes of gold, silver and jewelry?" Feng Kezong licked his chapped lips, slowly walked to Han Cheng's side, and pointed to the several large and small boxes captured when cleaning the battlefield on his side.

After hearing this, the other Jinyi guards surrounded him, looking at Han Cheng with expectant eyes, waiting for his decision, as the leader of the pro-army who had followed the new emperor since the era of the vassal king, in terms of the closeness of the relationship with the emperor, even Feng Kezong was far inferior, if Feng Kezong was now regarded as the emperor's henchman, Han Cheng was the henchman of the confidant, and his right to speak was undoubted.

It is no wonder that they saw that the eyes of money were opened, and the Ming Dynasty began to be in the Apocalypse Dynasty, and the finances became worse and worse, and in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the army's arrears of salaries had become the norm. Although Jinyiwei is a spy of the Son of Heaven, the treatment is also getting worse, to this day, ordinary school captain, Lux can enter one or two lines of silver a month is very good, and now he has a lot of windfall, according to the previous rules of Jinyiwei, at least a few percent must be left, seeing that there is money, they are naturally a look of hope.

Han Cheng took a deep breath and said, "The gold and silver can be distributed to each brother who participated in the battle according to merit, the size of the official lord, the dead and wounded are doubled, and the rest of the jewelry and jade must all be handed over to the inner treasury and disposed of by the saint." ”

"Okay, just do what Han Vice Rong wants!" Feng Kezong's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, turned around and walked to Qian Kang's side, looking at him who had been tied into a dumpling, his heart was even more excited, as if what was tied in front of him was not a person, but a bunch of merits and gold and silver goods.

Qian Kang had long lost his original confidence and demeanor at this time, shrugged his head, his face was pale, and he muttered to himself from time to time: "It's over, it's over......"

After distributing the spoils, Feng Kezong ordered Qian Kang's boat to sink in the Yangtze River, and then took a fast boat with Han Cheng, pressed the prisoners, and sneaked back to Nanjing in the middle of the night to return to the emperor.
