Chapter 65: Ming Dynasty Petitioners

With Zhu Houzhao's permission, Qian Ning and several Jinyi guards immediately kicked open the door, and then said in a cruel voice: "Arrest me, if you resist, let's talk about it!" Although Zhu Houzhao said that it didn't matter whether he lived or died, Qian Ning didn't have the courage to kill the people of the British government, and simply didn't offend both sides, so he didn't say whether he lived or died, but arrested them all and waited for them to be dealt with.

When these subordinates heard the order, they immediately pounced viciously, these people are good at empty-handed grappling, and they are even more critical to the weakness of the joints, and they have always been ruthless and have no scruples.

Qian Ning knew that these people had a close relationship with the British government, and he was afraid in his heart, and he was still a little measured, and those lieutenants and wrestlers were just acting on orders. No matter if you are Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Ermazi, as long as someone resists, you will be extremely ruthless. In an instant, seven or eight people were knocked down, and those people rolled on the ground in pain and howled in pain while holding their shoulders, elbows, and knees.

Wang Meng is just relying on his own tall horses, so he can bully and bully ordinary people, but he is Qian Ning's opponent of the brocade guard, Qian Ning grabbed Wang Meng, split his head and covered his face is a few slaps, first hit him dizzy, and then Zhu Houzhao ran up angrily, kicked Wang Meng is few times, and said while beating back: "I thought you were from the British government, and this son thought about letting you go, but I didn't expect to bully weak women, and dig people's graves, wait for you to die!" ”

Wang Meng was dazed by the beating, but he screamed and said: "Little beast, you dare to beat me, don't you know that I am from the British government?!!! ”

Zhu Houzhao heard him scold his little beast, and he raised his foot to kick again, Ye Guan grabbed it, and whispered to Zhu Houzhao: "Son, listening to Qian Baihu's report just now, there seems to be a major hidden secret in it, so let's hand him over to Jinyiwei first." It's too late today, tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll report the result of the matter to my son, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll hand it over to you Jinyiwei, but I'm going to listen to the interrogation, I want to see what this person is for, he actually digs the grave and doesn't let go of other people's orphans and widows!" Zhu Houzhao was angry, he originally thought that this Wang Meng was just relying on the power of the British Duke to bully the good, but he didn't expect that there was also a life lawsuit involved, thinking of this, he kicked Wang Meng a few times.

"The slave family thanks a few ministers for their righteous actions, but this person doesn't seem to be with you, so you better run quickly." After the girl woke up her grandmother, she said a blessing to Ye Guan and the others, took out her own handkerchief, handed it to Zhu Houzhao, who was sweating profusely, and then said with palpitations.

"What is it about this girl that makes them chase you so closely? Or even do something like digging up a grave? Ye Guan felt that the things inside were not simple, so he asked.

"Yes, tell me about it, naturally a few of us will call the shots for you." Zhu Houzhao took the girl's handkerchief and wiped his sweat, only to feel that a thin fragrance came from the handkerchief, and unconsciously smelled a few more times, so he looked up at the girl, only to think that this girl looked like a flower, Zhu Houzhao, who was already fourteen or fifteen years old, suddenly had a heart fluttering and jumping violently, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and felt that it was too Meng Lang, so he was a little embarrassed, so he shouted and spoke, so as to cover up his gaffe.

"A few sons, the slave family can see that the identities of a few are unusual, but this matter is not trivial, and it must be a big trouble for ordinary people to get involved, so you still don't want to know. The slave family's family has passed away a long time ago, and now only my grandmother and I are left, so I am not afraid to beat the drum of Nadengwen, as long as I can take revenge, I will not hesitate to be exiled for 3,000 miles. Therefore, a few people should not participate in it, and the kindness of a few people, Liu Liangnu will definitely repay it in the next life. This woman seems to be a kind-hearted person, but she is afraid that she will affect Ye Guan and a few people, so she refuses to say the reason.

"Underestimate me not, if I can't manage it, there are really few people in the Ming Dynasty who can manage it. You can rest assured to say it, the sky is falling, and a few of us will hold it for you. Zhu Houzhao didn't want to lose face in front of the beauty, so he said with his head held high.

"Okay, this girl, I know the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, you tell me about the matter, and I'll go tell the government?" Ye Guan saw that this girl was very careful, compared to it must be a big thing, and he also felt that there were many people here, so he found an excuse to settle their ancestors and grandchildren under the protection of Jinyiwei first.

"Well, thank you for the rescue." Liu Liangnu felt that it should be better to do this, so she nodded in agreement.

………………

After a few people escorted Wang Meng away, another group of people came to the empty hut. The leader was a well-dressed young man in his twenties. Seeing the empty yard and messy footsteps, his face suddenly became ugly.

"Second son, it seems that we are a step too late. Wang Meng has been taken away. And there are quite a few people, did they leak any rumors and were caught? One of his men checked the scene and reported it.

"First went to the Wucheng Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Yamen to find someone to search on the interface, and said that a merchant who delivered food to my family was taken away and robbed of thousands of taels of silver. Let them look it up and see if they can get any reliable information. Then destroy all the clues for me. First of all, go and kill all the masters and bookkeepers who can be killed by this matter, and if they can't be killed, settle them elsewhere. Cut off all ties with Datong Mansion, and I will send someone to inquire more in the imperial court, but you must be prepared to find a scapegoat. Wang Meng couldn't keep it, so he held on to his family, so that he wouldn't talk nonsense in prison. If there is a chance, if you have the opportunity, give him to me......" With that, the boy made a severed gesture around his neck. The subordinate understood, and quickly stepped back.

"Who the hell is it? Break my big deal! I, Zhang Li, will not spare you! The boy looked at the scattered footsteps on the ground, and his eyes looked fiercely at the position where Ye Guan and the others had stood just now.

…………

The Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Mansion Yin were also startled when they saw the people from the British Mansion. This gang of gangsters is too bold, and they dare to go against the people of the British government. If things are not done well, then the British Minister-Counsellor will be accused of local injustice, and he will not be able to drop his black hat. Immediately, two yamen dispatched a large number of men and horses to search the streets. The two whips made the "whip" whistling on the street, the little hooligans hugged their heads and scurried, and the stalls and sellers were silent, and they quickly closed the stalls and ran home, causing the children on the street to cry and the adults to scream, and the whole city of Beijing was in a lot of commotion.

There are more catchers on the street than pedestrians, and even the soldiers of Jinyiwei and Jingwei and the regimental battalion even sent people to patrol the streets, and Zhu Houzhao just settled Liu Liangnu and was coming out of the yamen of Jinyiwei Zhenfusi. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help frowning, and sneered: "It's amazing, a subordinate was beaten, and even a few yamen were like burning their butts, and the shelves of these nobles have become bigger and bigger in recent years, almost comparable to the emperor's patrol of clean water and loess mats." But is it because the subordinates of this country mansion are too majestic, or is there a lot of hidden secrets? I'm going to have to figure it out tomorrow. ”

…………

"Slap" Zhu Hou angrily smashed the stove in his hand to the ground. At the same time, he slapped the table heavily and said to Ye Guan: "Ye Guan, what you said is true!" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen not only got the news from Liu Liangnu's mouth with his own ears, but Weichen also transferred out the situation of the border army of Datong Mansion from the files of Jinyiwei over the years. Among them, there is indeed a Du Si named Liu Shiqing. However, the local excerpt said that Liu Shiqing was defeated by the guerrilla Wang Gao because he smuggled iron and tea with the Tartars, and the general Qin Gong and the deputy general Ma Sheng were killed when they were captured. However, Liu Liangnu said that it was the guerrilla general Wang Gao and the staff general Qin Gong and others who privately resold the iron and tea that the imperial court prohibited from selling and killed good people and made meritorious deeds. Therefore, Liu Shiqing's daughter Liu Liangnu and Liu Shiqing's mother rushed all the way from Datong Mansion, hoping to beat the Dengwen drum and return their father's innocence. I didn't expect those people to be in the capital, so there was that scene yesterday. Ye Guan reported all the things he found out.

"Who do you think is more reliable?" Although Zhu Houzhao already had an idea in his heart, he still wanted to hear Ye Guan's opinion.

"I still think that Liu Liangnu is more reliable. Regardless of whether the drum is won or lost, the person who beats the drum will be exiled for 3,000 miles. If it weren't for the great grievances, who would do such a thankless thing. Moreover, the generals of the Nine Sides often resold military funds and killed good people and risked their merits. In the past few years, the fire sieve has knocked on the side every year, and almost all the reports on the nine sides are big victories, with more than 1,000 beheadings, and people with a discerning eye know the greasy inside. However, we can't listen to Liu Liangnu's side of the story, so we can inform Your Majesty and let Your Majesty send an honest and reliable official to Datong Mansion to investigate. And even if this matter is not true, Wang Meng's various evil deeds in Beijing are obvious to all, but Wang Meng is just powerful, so the government at all levels has suppressed this case and not tried it. If someone opens their mouth to investigate, they can dig deeper. ”

Ye Guan hadn't slept all night since he read some files on the Nine Sides last night. The power of the Mongol Dayan Khan grew, and the Mongol tribes that had been torn apart by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu gradually unified in the hands of Dayan Khan. And the fire sieve is also an eagle in the Mongolian steppe. These two Tianjiao, who can bend the bow and shoot the eagle, are like two sharp long swords, from time to time to the chest of the Ming Dynasty with a sword, and the two take turns to attack Datong, Suining, Ningxia, Xuanfu and other important towns, plundering grain and grass, women and children innumerable. The border army of the Ming court has gradually become corrupted over the years, with fewer victories and more defeats, and the court has no choice but to open up the field to each other to curry favor with the Mongols. As soon as the Mongols retreated, they closed the field again, waiting for the next attack.

The northern troubles of the Ming Dynasty have been formed. And the plague of the Japanese in the south is also getting more and more intense. Under the attack of the two sides, the burden on the people has been greatly increased, and the next Xiaoice River period is coming. What awaits the land of China will be the expulsion of the dismissed civil servants......
