Chapter 425: The Great Reversal
Ruan Que raided Qingyun Nunnery in one fell swoop, grabbed more than a dozen people, large and small, and caught nearly 100 women from Tan Fang nuns and below, as well as a large number of hospital workers.
Just raided a green building, which is not a big deal, Ruan He ordered to continue the search, to dig up evidence of the collusion between the seven surnames and the Japanese to rob the goods.
Ruan Yi was full of confidence, and he had long heard that Qingyun Nunnery was an important stronghold, and there must be a lot of valuable things in it. Ruan He was full of confidence, and led his soldiers to search from the inside out.
Contrary to his expectations, he just found more than 100,000 taels of silver, some account books for ordinary expenses, and there was nothing useful at all, and Ruan He immediately sweated.
He was unwilling and asked his subordinates to find Tan Fang.
Although this nun is in her early thirties, her skin is delicate, her facial features are delicate and beautiful, as if she is in her early twenties, especially in these years, whether it is true or not, she has really been a little dusty.
She smiled at Ruan He, "I heard them say that you are Lord Ruan, the governor, but I didn't expect that you, the great immortal, would come to the small nunnery." ”
"Hmph, don't use rhetoric, give me the truth, where are all the letters of their collusion?"
Tan Fang smiled again, "My lord, the poor nun is a monk, and you don't speak, you are too much worse than the one in Quanzhou." ”
"What do you mean!" Ruan Que asked through gritted teeth.
Tan Fang shook his head slightly, "My lord, can't you see it, Qingyun Nunnery is just bright outside, and there are no really important things at all, the dozen or so people you caught." To put it bluntly, it's a bunch of errands, it doesn't matter, you've been deceived! ”
Ruan Yi was so angry that he grabbed the whip and pulled it over as soon as he saw it.
"The tricky witch still wants to deny it at this time. This official makes you take a good look! ”
Angry, the whip in Ruan Yi's hand swished wildly, and within a few strokes, Tan Fang was covered in bruises, and blood soaked his robe. It's just that this woman smiled on her face, as if she didn't feel any pain, Ruan Yi was surprised, and her hand slowed down, and suddenly Tan Fang's brows furrowed, and she opened her mouth and spurted dark red blood.
She smiled at Ruan Yi. "My lord, Tan Fang has long wanted to die, thank you for your success. It's just a pity that the adults will be under the Nine Springs in the near future, you ...... Fight...... But ......"
Tan Fang's body was weak, and he fell to the ground, spurting blood, Ruan Yi had just enjoyed a rescue. He also came to experience and hurriedly asked people to fetch fecal water. Pour it down for Tan Fang. It's just that it's too late, Tan Fang coughed for a while, bleeding along the seven holes, and couldn't be saved.
Tan Fang died, and Ruan Youzai carefully searched Qingyun Nunnery, but only found two secret rooms. I found 300,000 taels of silver, a lot of jewelry and jade, and nothing else.
Li Xiping, Cai Qixiang and others, who were originally arrested, recovered from the initial shock, and they resisted the urge to laugh. It's really smart, thinking that if you take Qingyun Nunnery, you can catch our handle, it's really too underestimating the seven surnames, this is the old Bu Suspicious Array, it was originally a pit dug for Tang Yi, that kid was not fooled, but you Ruan He rushed in, no one can stop the people who really want to die!
Ruan He didn't find anything, and his heart suddenly became cold.
"There is still the Ryukyu Mission, and there is hope!"
Ruan Que desperately ran to the Siyi Pavilion, and when he arrived, it was dawn, and his men had already arrested all the more than 100 people of the Ryukyu Mission, and stood in a large line, waiting for Ruan Que to fall.
From the beginning to the end, he was careful and meticulous, and he didn't let go of any of them, and suddenly Ruan Yi frowned, "What about Shangguang, where is your head Shangguang?" ”
He roared loudly, and there was a little old man, who said with a sad face: "Lord Qiqi, there is no one in my Ryukyu Kingdom. ”
"What!" Ruan Yi grabbed the old man's chest excitedly, almost making him breathless.
"How could it not be, the old man has seen him in person, and he still claims to be a Ryukyu royal family?"
The little old man almost cried, he was a courtier of the Ryukyus, he had served two generations of kings, and the route of the Ryukyus to the outside world had been controlled by the Japanese Kou over the years, and he did not take the Ryukyus, because he disliked the Ryukyus being too poor, and kept a skin of the Ryukyus, which could also be used to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
Every year, the envoys sent out were infiltrated by the Japanese and the Ryukyuan people dared not speak out. But this year, something big happened, more than three million taels of goods were robbed, and just last night, "Shangguang" ran away with people again, even a fool knows that it is not good. The little old man poured beans into the bamboo tube and told Ruan Yi everything he knew, and there was nothing left, but the problem was that Shang Guang did not leak anything, and he didn't know much.
Ruan He stomped his feet after hearing the hatred, the sky spun around, and he almost fell down. There is not much evidence that can link the seven surnames with the robbery of goods, one is Qingyunan, see if you can find evidence of their conspiracy, and the other is the Ryukyu Mission, but now that Qingyunan is empty, the key figures of the Ryukyu Mission are gone.
Nothing can be found, is there any other possibility for him than to die?
As if he had gone crazy, Ruan Que ordered the whole city to be searched and arrested, and sent people to the dock to investigate whether anyone had escaped.
He has all the means, but from the morning to the noon, there is not even a shadow, a good big living person, even said that it is gone, the goose has left a voice, what ability does that Shangguang have, can disappear out of thin air!
Ruan Yi felt that the whole world had collapsed, and just when he was almost desperate, an old official suddenly came to report, saying that Tang Yi had invited him over and had already caught Shang Guang.
This sentence is like a dying person who has grasped a life-saving straw and burst into tears with excitement. Ruan Que hurried to the prefect's yamen again.
How did Tang Yi catch Shang Guang?
It turned out that Ruan Yi asked Tang Yi to act with him, spread the fog, and wanted to repair the plank road in the dark, the plan was good, the more Tang Yi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the seven surnames wanted to fight with him, and he must have made Tang Yi's various actions clear.
Ruan Yi knelt down, which means that the initiative fell into Tang Yi's hands, with Tang Yi's personality, can he only deal with Ruan Yi and not find the bad luck of the seven surnames?
Thinking from another perspective, people must be prepared.
Tang Yi dared to say that Qingyunan could not find anything, and it would be difficult for the Ryukyu Mission to make a breakthrough. Tang Yi did not alarm Ruan Yi, and immediately ordered the sailors to block the wharf, and then sent scouts from the Qi family army to scatter at the large and small intersections outside Quanzhou to see if there was any trouble.
Not to mention, in the middle of the night, three watches, there are a few people tied down from the city with hanging baskets, leaving Quanzhou City, in the reeds by the Jinjiang River, floating out of a small boat, on the boat, after the Jinjiang River, there are prepared horses, a group of people got on the war horses, and went down along the southwest.
Running farther and farther, gradually getting rid of the threat, "Shangguang" sat on horseback and showed a smug smile, although Tang Yi Lao Tzu lost to you once, but this time it was Lao Tzu who won half a move.
With Ruan Que and that fool in front, you won't fall, but the city is about to be finished, with a deficit of several million taels, you, the golden boy, will be overshadowed in front of Jiajing.
Without the Holy Family, with the seven surnames, the gang will kill you sooner or later and help Lao Tzu avenge his revenge.
Restrained the horse, "Shang Guang" touched his chin, looked back at Quanzhou with affection, and then muttered: "I really want to see you unlucky, but Lao Tzu is not so stupid, I am still waiting for news at sea!" ”
After saying this, he urged the horse to gallop, but suddenly, a rope bounced up from the road, and Shang Guang's riding skills were not very good, and he fell to the ground at once, and the horse's front legs clicked and broken.
More than a dozen soldiers of the Qi family army ran out from both sides of the road, Shang Guang was so frightened that his soul flew away, screaming wildly, and his outlaws rushed forward.
Pirates are pirates in the end, how can they compare to the well-trained Qi family army, more and more people are dying under his command, Shang Guang had to take two people, get on the horse and flee.
He took out a large piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to the old fisherman who was packing up his nets, and the old fisherman hurriedly collected the silver, drove a small boat, and carried Shangguang across the river. Sitting on the boat, Shang Guang was a little calmer, but suddenly the boat shook, and I saw the old fisherman two exertion, the boat swayed back and forth, he jumped into the water suddenly, and the boat overturned.
The three of Shangguang fell into the water, and at this time a small boat came, and the fishermen on it were all young people, cast a big net, covered the three of Shangguang, and handed them directly to the Qi family army and sent them back to Quanzhou.
Speaking of it, it is strange that Shang Guang is smart, he doesn't know that in the past few years since he left the Ming Dynasty, the southeast has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the common people have long lost sympathy for the Japanese Kou, as long as they see suspicious people from outside, they will not be soft.
By the time Shangguang, who had been bundled into zongzi, was sent to Quanzhou, it was already in the afternoon, Tang Yi had just finished lunch, sitting under the grape trellis, and when he saw the people coming, Tang Yi took a few looks, and said with a smile: "Should the official call you Shangguang, or Zhao Xu?" Tang Yi suddenly laughed out loud, "You can't think of it, you kidnapped me at the beginning, and now you have become a prisoner, how about it, do you still have the ability to run away?" ”
Tang Yi said, stood up, walked in front of Zhao Xu, pulled hard, and ripped off the fake face full of knife handles, revealing his original face, I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhao Xu has long lost the chic of the original noble son, with a layer of rust on his face, and the hair on his sideburns is also white.
Obviously, it is not easy to deal with a group of pirates who eat people and don't spit out bones.
Zhao Xu stared at Tang Yi with a cannibalistic gaze, "The surname is Tang, I really hate that I didn't kill you in the first place!" ”
"Hehe, you are stupid, do you blame others?"
"Hmph, Tang Yi, don't be complacent, Lao Tzu can't live, but there is a city boss to accompany the funeral, and Lao Tzu is enough." Zhao Xu's pupils were bloodshot, as if he was a mad dog, roaring loudly.
"Well, Ichibo has poured a lot of effort into you, right? It's your wish to open the sea, right? Now that it's all over, do you feel that pain? Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and said in a blur: "I had a dream at the beginning, to control the money bank ticket number in the southeast, to control all the wealth, and become the king of the underground!" It's a pity that you broke my good deeds, Lao Tzu finally let you taste the pain of the heart, even if it is worth dying! ”
"It's quite persistent!" Tang Yi smiled: "Zhao Xu, how do you know that this official has lost?" Just with the few people you have in Zhangzhou, you can rob all the goods from Yu Dayou, it's really stupid! (To be continued.) )
