Shen Jia entered the camp, and the two bodyguards immediately greeted him with smiles on their faces, and Wei Liangyu said as he walked: "Lord Shen, we have found the culprit." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jin Yiwei's work efficiency was really high, and before noon, he screened the suspects in the east and west cities one by one, and under Chen Ce's instructions, he directly captured Gu Hongxi, a businessman in the east city.

Gu Hongxi was a well-known merchant in the Fushun area, he had been engaged in the mule and horse, pig iron and grain business between Mongolia, Fushun and Houjin, and was a large backstage trader in the Fushun area. Many small and medium-sized businessmen, such as grain merchant Liu Shunfu, used to buy and sell from Gu Hongxi.

After Fushun was recovered, Shen Jia ordered the closure of the eastern and western cities as soon as possible. Because of the war, many large transactions were temporarily suspended, and many merchants were full of expectations, believing that after the recovery of Fushun, the market order would be quickly restored. However, Shen Jia's official document completely forced the Fushun merchants into a corner. Many merchants have a backlog of large amounts of money for goods, and they are unable to trade, and can only sigh every day.

For a big businessman like Gu Hongxi, he can afford to wait for a while, but for grain merchant Liu Shunfu, he is almost on the verge of bankruptcy. The day before yesterday, Liu Shunfu asked to see Gu Hongxi, wanting to find a way to overcome the current predicament through Gu Hongxi, Gu Hongxi took the opportunity to fan the flames behind his back, deliberately scaring Liu Shunfu that the imperial court would not reopen the east and west cities for a while.

Liu Shunfu was naturally shocked, his grain money had been allocated, but the grain could not be delivered, and this loss was unbearable for a small businessman like Liu Shunfu.

Liu Shunfu became angry for a while, and claimed that he wanted to slash the responsible official. So Gu Hongxi took the opportunity to come up with an idea and let a gangster pretend to be a burglar and rob, but in fact he killed people and sold goods. At first, Liu Shunfu was worried that he would not be able to get out if he got bigger, but later he heard Gu Hongxi say that he had the support of Houjin Belle Ye and Horqin Mongolian Prince behind him, which made Liu Shunfu make up his mind to find someone to assassinate.

As long as the actual decision-makers of the eastern and western cities are assassinated, the power can fall into the hands of the small officials who knew each other before, and then the merchants take the opportunity to make raw rice and mature rice. It is precisely based on this idea that Gu Hongxi and Liu Shunfu did not hesitate to take risks.

After listening to the narration of the two brocade guards, Shen Jia asked, "How are you going to deal with these two people?" ”

"Master Chen said that he didn't understand this kind of thing, and he asked me to listen to your opinion."

Shen Jia secretly scolded Chen Ce for slipping his head, as long as this old guy saw any political risks, he immediately avoided from afar, and he didn't know how he lived to this age, he became an old goblin.

Shen Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Eliminate the evil, since they are all merchants under the Tartars, there is no need to be polite to them, according to my meaning, either you don't do it, or you have to do it, just take this opportunity to carefully screen and cleanse all those illegal businessmen, and completely stabilize the commercial order in the city, so that we can better take root in Fushun." ”

The two bodyguards are happy in their eyes, raiding their homes and killing people, isn't this an opportunity to make a fortune, Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Si is mainly responsible for arresting thieves and rapists, but it is not as oily as the North Town Fu Si is responsible for the Qin case.

*********

Outside the west gate of Fushun, Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai were shocked by the huge gap in the city wall, so they got off the carriage and wanted to take a closer look. Zhang Quan was left in Shenyang to stabilize the situation in Shenyang with Chen Fuke.

Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai came to Fushun this time without prior notice, and they didn't want people to greet them, and all three of them wanted to see the truest side of the Fushun Ming Army.

The huge convoy of the army also took this opportunity to stop, and for a while, there was a lot of noise outside the West Gate. The centurion on the city wall had already spotted this organized and disciplined team, so he quickly sent a small group of Ming troops to inquire about it.

The personal soldiers of the leader of the convoy talked a few words with the Ming army who came to inquire, and then pointed to the three officials standing in front of the gap, and explained the intention. Only then did the commander of the Ming army who led the team understand that it was Qin who came, and he rushed to the city to report the news in excitement.

"Brother Feibai, this Fushun City is three zhang high and three zhang thick, and it can be regarded as a strong city, but such a huge gap does not seem to be done by man."

Xiong Tingbi nodded and said: "It's really not, no matter what kind of siege equipment and artillery can't cause such destructive power, is it a weapon of overseas aliens?" ”

Yuan Yingtai didn't speak on the side, the huge destruction of the wall made him feel frightened, since the Fufushun city wall is so unbearable, then Liaoyang, and even the capital are probably not like this. Thinking of this, Yuan Yingtai felt that this weapon could not be faked by others, and it seemed that he still had to find a chance to receive it from the Jingluo Mansion.

While everyone was discussing with each other, an old and heroic roar suddenly came.

"Lord Jingluo, Lord Yang, Lord Xiong, I am late to greet you, and please forgive me."

Everyone looked back, but it was the chief soldiers Chen Ce and He Shixian who rode horses to greet them. When they got closer, the two dismounted and saluted Qin Cha and Yuan Yingtai with fists, and everyone greeted each other for a while, and was welcomed into the city by Chen He and the others.

Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai have different thoughts, Yang Lian wants to see the Fushun Ming Army's will to fight, as well as military might, while Xiong Tingbi wants to know the secret of the Ming Army's light capture of Fushun, as for Yuan Yingtai, he wants to see more of the people's livelihood, the situation and the recovery of production in Fushun City.

So the three of them first let the left and right take the convoy to the camp, and then invariably refused to take the sedan chair, intending to observe all the way on foot. Chen Ce and He Shixian had no choice but to accompany them, and when they encountered something incomprehensible, Chen Ce came forward to explain.

Halfway through, everyone suddenly saw that the Ming army was escorting hundreds of ordinary people on the way, and the sound of whipping and angry scolding continued. As the crowd approached, the heart-rending cries of the women and children arose, and they were miserable. Many of the women in the crowd had already been removed from their heads, the green silk was scattered, the white hair was flying, some women's chests were even half-open, revealing half of the hills, and the short skirts on the lower bodies were also partially torn.

"Who is it that this man should treat the people so badly?"

It was Yuan Yingtai who spoke, he had always loved the people like a son, and he couldn't see the people suffering, seeing this tragic situation at this time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Ce and He Shixian immediately became stern.

Chen Ce's smiling face suddenly froze, and he was about to answer, but unexpectedly, He Shixian, who was outspoken next to him, spoke.

"Lord Yuan, my nephew was murdered last night, and he escaped with his life, after reporting to the police today, Jin Yiwei cooperated to file a case and track down a group of suspects, these should be the families of the captured prisoners."

Although Yang Lian on the side was a little puzzled, his face was extremely unkind, and he said that even if it was a major murder case, it would need to be decided after trial. Jin Yiwei's method of setting up a private court and extorting confessions by torture has always been resolutely opposed by Yang Lian.

Yuan Yingtai was even more furious, Liaodong was under his rule, at this time Fushun had just recovered, and he should have been able to help the people and things, and Huaiyuan was virtuous, but these soldiers and ruffians actually committed this evil deed in broad daylight. Can a gang of unarmed young children and women be murdered? This is clearly the words of the generals of the Fushun Ming Army who took advantage of the situation and oppressed the people.

"Whose order is this? I will report him to the court and break his body into thousands of pieces. ”

Yuan Yingtai gritted his teeth when he said, Chen Ce couldn't help but be stunned, and He Shixian was also taken aback.

He Shixian said in his heart, isn't it just that a group of prisoners' relatives wear indecent clothes, who let them wear gold and silver, and hide their belongings privately, although these soldiers who raided the house did not dare to insult the women, but it was a good trick to search for gold and silver. It is strange that the hairpins on the women's heads, the gold and silver tied around their legs, and the jewelry around their necks can escape the eyes of these grandchildren.

He Shixian secretly glanced at Yuan Yingtai, and when he saw that he was angry, he was bold, and he didn't dare to confront Yuan Yingtai in public at this time.

Chen Ce was an old slippery head, seeing that the atmosphere was tense, he hurriedly persuaded: "I also know a little bit about this matter, why don't you wait for Lord Jinglu to return to the command post, and ask Shen Jia, the staff officer of the march, to come over in person and explain this matter to the three adults, I don't know what the adults think?" ”

Chen Ce took himself out lightly, although He Shixian was rough, but the meaning of the words was also heard, and he suddenly felt a chill, and turned his head away to look elsewhere.

Chen Ce had already turned a few corners in his heart, and he also had a slight understanding of the general trend of the imperial court, knowing that among the three people in front of him, Xiong Tingbi was the most unpopular, and he was from the Chu Party who had lost power. Although he has heard of Yang Lian, and his identity is also very important, Chen Ce is not familiar with Yang Lian and can't talk. Thinking about it, the most able of these three to break the game is Yuan Yingtai, who has a lot of contacts, Yuan Yingtai has always been lenient, and it will not be a big deal if he hits him.

Chen Ce was extremely smart, but he didn't expect that when Yuan Yingtai set off from Shenyang, he had already accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart. At this time, Yuan Yingtai heard that it was this "overseas stranger" who was in charge, so the thought of "bewitching a group of generals" unconsciously grew crazy in Yuan Yingtai's heart.

"Come on, arrest Shen Jia, the staff officer of the march, and temporarily detain him, and decide after tomorrow's interrogation."

Chen Ce was shocked, but he didn't expect the situation to suddenly become tense, and hurriedly said: "Please think twice."

He Shixian was even more anxious, and shouted in a rough voice: "Don't be an adult, never allow." ”

Seeing that the two main generals interceded for Shen Jia at the same time, Yuan Yingtai said in his heart that the two chief military officers of Daming actually interceded together for a person who did not know the origin, which was never a thing. Although the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty is amiable on the surface, there are also many factions in private, this He Shixian was originally from Li Chengliang's son Li Rubai's subordinates, and he couldn't fight with the martial arts Chen Cebazi, but at this time, he actually breathed out from the same nostrils, which obviously has a lot to do with this overseas demon.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yingtai suddenly believed in his suspicions, so he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, wait until we return to the post house and sort out the affairs before we talk." ”

Yang Lian was also quite dissatisfied with Shen Jia's actions, and Liaodong was under Yuan Yingtai's jurisdiction, so it was inconvenient for him to intervene in person, so he stopped and watched.

Xiong Tingbi obviously thought more, he knew that Fushun City, which was still under military control, was like a river, and the water was calm and calm, but it was turbulent underneath. There must be a lot of competing forces behind this superficial burglary.

However, Xiong Tingbi does not plan to persuade him at present, one is that his identity is embarrassing, and the other is that his attention is not on this.

Before entering the city, Xiong Tingbi had already noticed that near both sides of the city gate, some people who seemed to be repairing had excavated and destroyed the city wall in some sections, which made Xiong Tingbi very angry.

According to his previous temperament, Xiong Tingbi should have scolded these ignorant children a long time ago. At that time, Zhao Ji, the governor of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, the chief military officer, gave up 800 miles of Liao land in the Kuandian area, moved the people and abandoned the land, and finally shamelessly invited the imperial court for credit, and Xiong Tingbi was the first initiator of impeachment in the letter that year.

Now, these grandchildren are deliberately destroying the city defenses, intending to create the illusion that the city of Fushun is in tatters, and they want to use an excuse to retreat to Shenyang, which Xiong Tingbi absolutely can't bear.

The seemingly hectic repair work near the gap in the city wall has actually entered a state of suspension, all of which indicate that the Fushun generals were planning to give up the land, otherwise they would never have behaved like this.

Xiong Tingbi was furious in his heart, thinking that since Yuan Yingtai had already raised the butcher knife, then Xiong didn't mind using this butcher knife to kill a few people who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

So, although Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi, and Yuan Yingtai had their own thoughts, they had a surprisingly tacit understanding in the resolution to detain Shen Jia.

Chen Ce was dumbfounded, He Shixian was indignant, and said loudly: "Lord Yuan treats meritorious ministers like this, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the soldiers of the three armies, and I also ask Lord Yuan to take back his life." ”

"Bold He Shixian, you actually threatened the official with all the soldiers, and you still don't retreat!"

When it comes to clever arguments, none of the ten He Shixian is Yuan Yingtai's opponent, and in an instant, a big hat that threatens Shangguan is buttoned down, and He Shixian is speechless.

Although He Shixian is straightforward, he is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say, if he insists again and again at this time, I am afraid that this Yuan Yingtai will even take it with himself.

Thinking of this, He Shixian roared angrily: "Your lords are busy first, and there are still important things to do in the end, so retire first." ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, He Shixian turned over and got on the horse, waved the horsewhip angrily, and slapped the horse away.

Yuan Yingtai's face was pale, and he stared at the direction where He Shixian had gone without saying a word.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Chen Ce hurriedly said with a dry smile: "Mr. He's temper is quite upright, once he recognizes it, it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions, don't blame you." ”

He Shixian used to be Xiong Tingbi's right-hand man, don't you know, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly added: "This lower official also has a personal experience, and the lower official was also angry with him for a day before dining, seeing this scene today, I can't help but think of that year, haha." ”

Chen Ce, Xiong Tingbi comforted for a while, Yang Lian also interceded for He Shixian, Yuan Yingtai's gloomy face slowly relaxed, he didn't want to offend everyone, he had to endure it.

Yuan Yingtai knew that he was still acting as an acting strategist, and he still had to rely on these ruffians for many things in the future, so he couldn't be persecuted too much at this time, so he took advantage of the steps and said a few polite words with a smile, saying that he would not pursue He Shixian's rudeness.

In addition to Chen Ce, the faces of the three of them quickly recovered as before, and their interest was still undiminished, and in the company of Chen Ce, they turned around several important places in Fushun City.
