Chapter 288: Round-up (Part II)

Although the city of Beijing at this time was far from being comparable to the scale of later generations, it was still not easy to rush from Shuntianfu to Xicheng to get people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and the group set off in the afternoon, and it was not until Shen Shizheng that they finally arrived at their destination. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the blood-red sunset shone on this area, which added a bit of solemnity here.

These many Shuntianfu servants came with great fanfare, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Xicheng. But after feeling that these errands were far more murderous today than before, those people did not dare to get too close, so they could only stay far behind them, and followed them to a large mansion that looked the most ordinary, and found that the yacha had put on the appearance of a great enemy.

After arriving at the place, Jing Zhankun didn't have time to be polite to Yang Zhen anymore, so he immediately arranged: "Qian San'er, you take thirty people to the back to guard in case they slip away through the back door." Zhao Ba, you take twenty people to the left-hand side, and be sure to guard that area tightly. He Si, you go to the right-hand side ......" Under his series of orders, the three hundred or so servants quickly divided into several teams and ran towards all directions of the mansion, guarding any possibility of the people inside getting out.

Seeing that he arranged to take people in such a clear manner, Yang Zhen was a little surprised: "It seems that this Jing Tuiguan is indeed not a layman, not only is he good at the way of punishment and prison, but he also has his own set of taking people." ”

Just as the officials had taken their positions as instructed, the two men were brought over by one of the officers who had blocked the scene. As soon as these two people saw Yang Zhen and them, they bowed and saluted: "I've seen a few adults." ”

Seeing that these people didn't kneel down and salute as an official, Jing Zhankun frowned a little unhappily. But this is not the time to care about these, and these people are also meritorious, so he asked with a pleasant face: "Are you sent by Lin Tiande to stare here?" ”

"Exactly." The two of them didn't know if they were really shocked by the situation in front of them, or they were ordered by Lin Tiande, but they seemed to be very obedient, and if Jing Zhankun didn't ask, they didn't talk much.

"You guys, are all the people in this house? Have they noticed anything unusual before that they have fled? This is what Jing Zhankun is most worried about at the moment. If the people inside were startled and had fled before that, they would have been in vain.

"My lord, our brother has been staring at this place all day, and he hasn't noticed anything unusual about the people inside. They don't know they're exposed. The visitor hurried back.

"Good!" Seeing him reply like this, Jing Zhankun's heart was slightly relieved, and his expression was more joyful: "As long as you can catch all the thieves this time, you will also be rewarded by the imperial court!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Although they were gang members, they were glad to be praised by officials.

"Come on, prepare to break down the door and take people!" Jing Zhankun looked to both sides, and saw that the people and horses were all arranged, and it was impossible for any more flaws and omissions, so he waved his hand and ordered to attack.

At a certain distance from him, Yang Zhen and seven subordinates were watching all this. Seeing that those yacha had moved, and when they rushed towards the closed door of the house, Mo Chong didn't feel a little eager to try. It's just that they knew that they only obeyed Yang Zhen's command, so they didn't really step forward, but turned their heads to look at their own hundred households: "Hundred households, shall we also go up?" ”

"No hurry!" Yang Zhen shook his head: "If it's easy for people to take it, we don't have to mix it." Anyway, the credit must be indispensable to a few of us, so why fight with them? If people are not easy to take, it is not too late for us to take action after they have a problem. ”

"Ah......" Several people were stunned: "This is just a few hundred people arresting five or six people, how can it be that something happens?" ”

"It's hard to say." Yang Zhen squinted his eyes and smiled faintly. From the moment he saw the few knife wounds that had his throat cut open, he guessed that those Japanese people were all martial arts guys, and he was afraid that the Shuntianfu servants who did not have this mental preparation would suffer a loss.

Just as Yang Zhen spoke, with a bang, the door had been smashed open by the servants with a log they had found from the side. Although the latch of this kind of house is thick, it cannot be compared with the city gate after all, so only a log of thickness and a dozen men can easily knock the door open.

As soon as the door was slammed open, the officers who had to be ordered to take the men shouted excitedly, and said something like "Hurry up and arrest the prisoner," and rushed straight in.

Looking at their simple and rude way of taking people, Yang Zhen shook his head slightly: "It's still convenient to take people in this era." In the future, it would be a violation of the law. ”

In the backyard of the house, six Japanese men in loose kimonos were gathering together to drink wine and eat meat. It's just that under such good conditions, the expressions of several people are a little depressed, and they all look sad.

Suddenly, one of them put the bowl in his hand on the table and said unhappily, "These Ming people are really treacherous. When he coaxed us to do something, it was quite respectful. And now, when the thing is done, they only prepare us some food and don't show up. There were a few subordinates before, but now even these subordinates are gone, it's really Baga! ”

"Kawada-kun, don't be impatient. Didn't we tell them a few times before that we wanted to leave Beijing earlier, maybe they were just preparing for us. Wait two more days, and if that's the case, we'll leave them alone and leave on our own. Anyway, they've given us all the money we deserve. ”

"What Ono-kun said is right, they also know our skills, and they don't dare to do what we want!"

After a few words, the widows picked up the wine bowl again. To be honest, the Ming Kingdom is much better than their own side, not only is there enough good wine and meat, but sometimes there are women, if it weren't for the big trouble this time, they wouldn't want to escape.

"Have you ever thought about where we should go when we leave Beijing this time?"

"Of course, it's back to the Japanese country! I miss my wife back home...... It's been more than two years since I've been in Mingguo, and I don't know how Tomoko is doing. ”

"You are such a person without great ambitions, how can you think of a woman. I wanted to go back too, but not to see the woman, but to see our daimyo. I wanted to tell him that it would be unwise to fight other daimyo for that little money and land. If we warriors of the Wa Kingdom want to fight, they should also fight against the Ming Dynasty, and snatch far more wealth and land from this rich place than we have on our island! ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The Ming Kingdom is much stronger than us, and even if the big names in our country are willing to join forces, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete with this country. ”

"You only see their strong side, but I can see their weak side. Don't look at their big country and large population, but their people are very poor, but most of the officials are rich, and it is very difficult for such a country to have real combat effectiveness. Moreover, I have heard before that their soldiers often do not get their salaries, and they are already full of resentment, as long as we can unite as one, it is not impossible to conquer the entire Ming Kingdom! ”

"Haha, yes, I know there is such a thing...... What a day! ”

Several widows were in the house dreaming that they would one day be able to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, but they did not realize that the house they were in had been surrounded by people. It wasn't until there was a sudden bang in front of them that there was a loud bang on the door, followed by a shout of killing, that they woke up from their sweet dream.

"What's going on?" Some shouted in surprise, others were stunned, and had no idea what to do or say.

At this time, Ono, who had previously proposed to go back to persuade his own daimyo to attack the Ming Dynasty, suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed the front in a few steps, picked up the sword that he had been carrying with him, and shouted: "Several, it is the Ming people's government who has come to arrest us." It must be our identities exposed, those Ming people...... Those Ming people who took advantage of us to set fires told the government secrets. No wonder they left in a hurry before, there was no one left, so it was! It all shows that people are cunning, and it is so! ”

When the other people heard him say this, they woke up like a dream, and they all came to the place where the knife was put with a strange scream, reached out and picked up their own sword, and pulled the knife in their hands with a sigh.

They knew very well how serious the crimes they had committed before, so they didn't think that the Ming government would let them go, and now the situation was only a desperate fight.

"Shall we just rush out like this?" Kawada held the knife in his hand, but his expression could not hide his nervousness.

"That's all there is to it. We don't know what is going on outside, but with the cunning of the Ming people, they will definitely have men in the back and next to them. If we go over the wall, we will mess up our position. Fortunately, we are all samurai of the empire, and we are not afraid of those Ming countries' catches! Go, follow me and rush out! At this time, Ono had become the leader and backbone of the Japanese people, and under his greeting, the other five Japanese people also roared, and then they held their Japanese swords high and rushed out with his footsteps.

At this time, the officials had rushed through the front yard, and after searching for no one, the previous momentum was constricted, and some people unconsciously had an idea: "Could it be that the people in this courtyard have already gotten the news and run away?" Are you going to be busy today? ”

Although they thought so in their hearts, their steps did not pause for a moment, and continued to rush inward. As they rushed through a moon gate separating the three courtyards and the two courtyards, they saw six Japanese men with long knives viciously slashing at them.

Suddenly, the few catchers who rushed to the front were stunned......
