There is a Lu's hotel at the south end of Qipantian Street, about one mile away from Weitai Restaurant, turn left and go south hundreds of steps out of the hotel is the majestic Zhengyangmen, in the inner city of Beijing, Lu's Hotel is one of the few big inns, there are more than 20 rooms in the kitchen alone, there are no less than 200 bartenders, men, prostitutes who run for service, the guests who enter and exit the hotel every day are also counted in hundreds of people, in the late month of the month of the month near the end of the year, the inn is not deserted, the guests sing and listen to the opera, drink and have fun, night and day, the curfew is only to prohibit the people from going out on the street at night, and people can't help staying in the house all night looking for fun-

At the beginning of the twentieth day of the lunar month, when the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and the Nancheng Terracotta Division marched out of Zhengyangmen under the heavy snow, a man dressed as a Confucian stood in front of the window of a guest room on the second floor of the Lu's Inn, this man was nearly thirty years old, quite tall, and strong, and there was nothing unusual about his overall appearance except for the red face, and the slender eyes under the eight-character eyebrows still seemed to be sleepy and couldn't open them.

The man put down a volume of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, pushed open the window lattice, let the cold wind pour into the guest room, and took off the winter felt hat in the bone-chilling cold wind, and gently lifted the knotted hair, and the other hand reached into the bottom of the hair, gently rubbing the scalp, but it turned out to be a bald head, no, not completely bald, there was a lock of hair the size of money on the top of his head, and a bunch of jade pillows on the back of his head, each with a thin braid, in order to avoid the braid from drooping and revealing the filling, the two braids were also connected together, this strange hairstyle was extremely ugly-

"Itchy—"

The Jurchen man dressed as a Confucian boy rubbed his bald head for a while, put on his wig bun, looked condescendingly at the sergeant of the Jinyi Guard and the Soldiers and Horses Division who hurriedly ran on the street, and said to the thin and tall young man behind him: "Are these people out of Zhengyangmen to search for me and Ang Abba, this is really strange!" ”

The young man behind him said: "Zhai Dongsheng is a Han from the Southern Dynasty and is unreliable. It must have been him who confessed that the owner of the flag lived outside Zhengyang Gate. Fortunately, the flag owner had been prepared, otherwise it would have been dangerous. ”

This Jurchen man, who was known as the banner master, said: "It's not necessarily Zhai Dongsheng who confessed, and many guys from Weitai Restaurant know that I live outside Zhengyang Gate." It's just that these officials of the Southern Dynasty tracked me down so quickly, which is really beyond my expectations, Zhai Dongsheng is not such a stupid person. How is it exposed! ”

The young man said: "Banner master, let's go out of the city and return to Kuandian early tomorrow morning, the situation here is very dangerous, and we must go out of Shanhaiguan as soon as possible." ”

The banner lord frowned and said: "Ang Aba is still outside the Zhengyang Gate, don't fall into the hands of the Southern Dynasty, there is a curfew at this time, and he can't be notified." ”

The young man was silent for a while, then said, "Ang Aba's heart is like a stone, and he is extremely loyal to the banner master. I'd rather die than betray the banner master. ”

The banner lord said: "Tomorrow we will try to inform Ang Aba first, if not, then move outside the Chaoyang Gate." Watch and see what happens. This time I came to Beijing, I was one of them. I want to find that person for my father Khan, who is not dead, but has already come to the Southern Dynasty-"

……

Before dawn on the 21st day of the lunar month, the five gates of the outer city of Yongding, Zuo'an, You'an, Guangqu and Guang'an outside the Zhengyang Gate have received the order of the Jinyi Guard to block the city gate, hundreds of Jinyi Weili and the soldiers and horses searched each inn one by one, and at the same time, each square is also checking the households with outsiders, until the afternoon, there are dozens of red-faced people and mutes without household registration were taken to the Yamen of the Terracotta and Horses Division in Nancheng, identified by the three bartenders of Weitai Restaurant, more than a dozen red-faced people were quickly examined, and the three bartenders all shook their heads, After more than 20 mutes were brought up, the three bartenders pointed to one of the stout middle-aged men and said, "It's him!" ”

This man with a huge head and a stubby neck did not wait for the left and right military officials to come forward to capture, suddenly stood up, roared strangely, and pounced on the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division one zhang away to command Fang Shixiong, Fang Shixiong is over fifty years old, although he is also from martial arts, but after all, he is old, his reaction is a little slow, and he can't draw his knife, so he has to use the strength of the crack and hanging fist, and the arms and wrists are closed, and he crashes towards the mute strong man who pounces fiercely. One punch smashed Fang Shixiong's right arm, and the five-fingered halberd in the other hand was opened, directly forked on Fang Shixiong's throat, and as soon as his hand was tightened, Fang Shixiong's face suddenly swelled with purple skin, and he couldn't breathe-

Zhao Zhendong, deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, drew his sword and shouted angrily: "What a traitor, dare to commit murder in front of the court!" ”

The dumb man crossed Fang Shixiong's neck, dragged him to the outside of the hall, and the deputy commander made Zhao Zhendong and the others throw a rat trap, but they didn't dare to get too close, and they were about to be held hostage by the dumb man Fang Shixiong out of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Yamen, at this moment, Zhen Zidan arrived with more than ten captains from the Jinyi Guard, Zhen Zidan didn't care whether Fang Shixiong was alive or dead, and shouted: "Ang Abba——"

This mute man is the bull of the white flag, and when he heard someone call him by name, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously responded: "Chirp." "This is a real minion.

The sound of "chirp" did not fall, Zhen Zidan's embroidered spring knife out of the sheath was like a spring water, the blade reflected the snow light and slashed at Ang Abba's head, Ang Abba roared, and actually lifted Fang Shixiong, who weighed more than 100 catties, with both hands, and used Fang Shixiong's body as a shield to block Zhen Zidan's knife, Zhen Zidan is a good knife in Jinyiwei, with a twist of the wrist, the blade changes direction, and the lightning generally slashes downward, which is also the strength of the splitting and hanging fist, and the change of moves is fast, although Ang Abba is powerful, but after all, Fang Shixiong can't be used as a gun and stick to dance impermeable. And Ang Aba is good at horse warfare, without a horse, it looks clumsy, only to feel a cold right wrist, the sharp blade has been sharpened, and the left hand is broken at the wrist-

Ang Aba's left hand was originally choking Fang Shixiong's neck, but now it was cut off, Fang Shixiong's upper body was unsupported, so he planted down, his head slammed on the green brick ground, and he screamed in pain, but Ang Aba's severed hand was still choked on his neck, but he had no strength, Fang Shixiong breathed freely, and gasped for breath-

The deputy commander made Zhao Zhendong kick from behind, kicking Ang Abba in the back of the heart, Ang Abba just stumbled forward, did not fall, grabbed Fang Shixiong's tallow leather belt with one hand, and smashed Fang Shixiong a big living person left and right, Zhen Zidan took a few steps back, and then bullied straight in, and slashed at Ang Aba's right arm, the right arm was not broken, but he couldn't hold Fang Shixiong, so he threw Fang Shixiong to the ground, roared and strode out, spilling blood on both sides, shocking on the snowy road.

Zhen Zidan snatched a wooden staff from the hand of an errand officer, hurried to catch up, and swept at Ang Aba's back knee, the staff broke his leg and broke, and Ang Abba rolled on the snow, unable to struggle anymore, only stirring the white snow under him into red snow.

Zhen Zidan dropped the broken staff in his hand, and said to Zhao Zhendong and the others who caught up: "If this Jurchen spy is allowed to kidnap people out of the city gate, then where is the face of my Ming martial artist!" ”

Zhao Zhendong and other officials of the Soldiers and Horses Division all felt shameless, and the people of the Jinyi Guard once again crushed them to death, and then looked at the commander Fang Shixiong Fang, who was foaming at the mouth and unconscious-

Zhen Zidan asked his lieutenant to simply stop the bleeding for Ang Aba, tied him up and escorted him back to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, where he was personally interrogated by Wang Mingshi of Qianhu, escorted Zhai Dongsheng out for confrontage, and found a general who was proficient in the Jurchen Tungusic language to interrogate Ang Aba, and Ang Abba refused to tell the whereabouts of the red-faced scholar when he died, and he really regarded himself as a mute-

In the evening of this day, Zhen Zidan wore civilian clothes and waited outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw Zhang Yuan and several Hanlin officials walking out, he respectfully crossed his hands and shouted: "Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Yuan saw that it was Zhen Zidan, so he said goodbye to Wen Zhenmeng and others, and went to the North Bridge of Jade River with Zhen Zidan, and asked: "Zhen Baihu, what is the case of Weitai Restaurant?" ”

Zhen Zidan said: "The humble post is here to report this matter to Lord Zhang. He immediately told Zhang Yuan about the interrogation of Zhai Dongsheng and the capture of Ang Abba.

There are no more than two kinds of people who want to frame the Korean envoy for murder, one is the Korean minister who opposes the royal family of Gwanghaejun Lee or has a grudge against Liu Dongming, if Liu Dongming commits a murder in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, although it will not be enough to resist his fate, but because Liu Dongming is the brother-in-law of Gwanghaejun, the damage to the reputation of his uncle Liu Dongming is also a blow to Gwanghaejun, and it will increase the Ming court's bad feelings towards Gwanghaejun; The other kind of person is the ambitious Jurchens, in a few days it will be the forty-fifth year of Wanli, and it is only more than a year since the slave chief Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty on the grounds of "seven hatreds", and now Nurhachi is no longer the complacent Nurhachi who got the Ming Dynasty's edict, the ambition of the slave chief is getting more and more inflated, and there is an attempt to covet the Ming Dynasty, and send spies to investigate the political and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, which is very likely, but Zhang Yuan did not expect that it would be the Huang Taiji who came to the Ming Dynasty to make this divisive plan!

- Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi, his mother is the beauty of Yehebu Menggu Zhezhe, after Nurhachi perfected the Eight Banners system, one of the four Great Baylors Huang Taiji is the solid mountain Ezhen of the white flag, that is, the flag owner, Zhang Yuan did not know that the original name of Huang Taiji was Hei Huan, but Ang Aba as a white flag Niu Lu Ezhen was willing to be the scholar's entourage servant, the scholar is red-faced, who else would it be if it was not Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji is proficient in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese, and likes to read "Three Kingdoms", in the rough and uncivilized, The Jianzhou Jurchens with a low degree of civilization are considered cultural people, Nurhachi is extremely hostile to the Han people, killing more than surrendering, and Huang Taiji knows that the Han people are used to buy people's hearts, and imitate the official system of the Ming Dynasty to improve the political system of Manchuria, Huang Taiji's threat to the Ming Dynasty is far greater than Nurhachi, because killing will only provoke the hatred and desperate resistance of the Han people, and Huang Taiji's policy is the main reason for the rapid growth of Manchu -

"Lord Zhang?"

Zhen Zidan saw Zhang Yuan's eyebrows moving, and the expression on his face was quite strange, so he shouted.

Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and advised: "Zhen Baihu, you must catch that red-faced scholar, this person is very likely to be the son of an old slave in Jianzhou, and it is a great achievement to catch him." ”
