"Zhu Langzhong, the marquis of Zhenyu is invited!"

At this time, Ying Tianfu Soap called him from behind, and his tone was very anxious.

"I don't know what happened to the marquis?"

Soap Li has been on errands under Zhu Yuncai for many years, although he has now been transferred out of Ying Tianfu, but Jiwei Rijiu Mansion Soap Li is still respectful when he sees him, only to see him nod and say: "The Marquis of Zhenyu didn't say it, but he just sent a villain to find you." ”

Zhu Yun knew that he couldn't ask anything in this soap li's mouth, and he was a little apprehensive for a while, could it be that the Marquis of Zhenyu was a little dissatisfied with his disposal in Dinghuaimen? Do you now seek yourself to blame? But he thought about it carefully, he didn't have much fault, and it was handled properly, so it couldn't be regarded as a fault, right?

With apprehension, Zhu Yuncai stood on top of the main hall of Yingtianfu.

At this time, Li Xinzheng was symbolically immersed in writing and disposing of official documents. After a while, he raised his head and was surprised to find that Zhu Yuncai had been standing in the hall for a long time, and hurriedly asked him to sit down. Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuncai, who was still a little apprehensive, finally put his mind at ease, treating each other with such courtesy, shouldn't he ask himself to blame!

"There has been a key development in the interrogation of Shao Hualong! Chen Wenshan learned from his mouth that the person who negotiated with him that day was from Anping, Quanzhou! ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuncai's heart was shocked, and at the same time, he felt a little sour, as if he had been robbed of the limelight by others. He couldn't help but regret it a little, knowing that this was the case, he would have taken the first step to report the matter to the marquis.

"The interrogation of the lower officials has also progressed, and the masked thieves captured in the Dinghuai Gate today have confessed, they are from Anping, Quanzhou Prefecture, and they are subordinate to the Fujian General Military Officer!"

This time it was Li Xin's turn to be surprised, Shao Hualong did admit that the person who colluded with him was from Anping, Quanzhou, but he did not really admit that the people behind it were the Fujian General Military Officer.

"The disposal of Dinghuaimen, I have also heard, you handled it very properly, it should be so! Also, can you get a reliable confession from the thief? ”

Li Xin couldn't hear the pantothenic acid in Zhu Yuncai's words, so he first affirmed his disposition in Dinghuaimen, and then asked the confessions of the thieves captured in Dinghuaimen.

"Xia Guan has tortured more than a dozen thieves separately, and the confessions obtained are basically the same, from Anping, Quanzhou, and he is subordinate to the chief military officer of Fujian, which can't be wrong! Only the leader has not been interrogated, and the following officials guess that this person should be an official of the imperial court! ”

Zhu Yuncai pondered his words, his eyes were glowing with a strange brilliance, and there seemed to be a hint of fear that the world would not be chaotic.

"If we can make a breakthrough from this person, our Three Guards will inevitably stand on the commanding heights of Tao and reason, and carry out a large-scale attack on the despicable mastermind behind the scenes!"

This remark was more subtle, but it was to the point, and even to Li Xin's heart.

Originally, Li Xin wanted to develop sea trade and open the sea ban, and he couldn't get around the Fujian chief military officer who dominated the southeast coast, and Li Xin had intended to negotiate cooperation with him before, but Jiangxi's Zhang Shi and Mi Yan marched fast, and in less than a month, they had driven the tiger and devoured the wolf, so that the Huai King entered the mountains of Fujian. The Three Guards also entered the Fujian territory under the pretext of pursuing the rebels.

This will inevitably arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the Fujian chief military officers.

So, is this Nanjing City incident a revenge from Anping in Quanzhou, or a preemptive strike? But it doesn't matter what the result is, what matters is that this kind of revenge or pre-emptive strike is not very pretty, and this kind of blatant sabotage, once it is made public, will inevitably lead to itself in the bleak situation that thousands of people refer to.

Now, it is the people who belong to the Anping General Military Office who have been captured and have become a practical and reliable breakthrough.

"No matter what means are used, we must pry this leader's mouth open and get all the information we need!"

"Can the lower officials consider the confession and ask them one by one?"

"No need to ......" Li Xin casually denied, but he suddenly realized the meaning behind Zhu Yuncai's careful confession, which was nothing more than a confession, and the facts themselves were not important.

Li Xin pondered for a moment and said: "There is no need to be like this, first try it according to the facts, show me the confession, and then make a calculation!" ”

Zhu Yuncai did not intend to give up his previous plan easily, "As the saying goes, when the army marches to war, it is important to use the troops quickly, and it is also important to be quick when we are surprised." There is such a big movement today, these thieves have been caught in a net, and the news must have leaked out, if we deal with it slowly, maybe Quanzhou has already taken the lead......."

Li Xin was not disgusted by Zhu Yuncai's exhortation, which was also a way to deal with it.

"Alright, I got it! You first examine the leader and see what valuable information can be obtained. Another point, you should also be careful when considering your confession, so that it does not leak, if you are found faulty, it will be self-defeating! ”

Zhu Yuncai was so smart, he immediately replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the marquis of Zhenyu dare not guarantee other things, this trial will be ...... out of prison" He originally wanted to say something to fabricate charges, but when the words came to his mouth, he retracted again, after all, this kind of thing can't be moved to the table, so naturally it is not easy to say it in front of the marquis of Zhenyu.

Li Xin couldn't help but laugh when Zhu Yuncai suddenly shut up, and the two of them played dumb riddles back and forth, so they simply lifted the lid and said, "Isn't it just fabricating charges?" Be thorough, this errand is done, and the real shortage of the squire in the military department will be yours sooner or later! ”

Zhu Yuncai has the background of a cool official, but in essence, he is a man who chases fame and fortune in the officialdom, and the reason why he was able to take refuge in Li Xin despite the statement is not to be promoted to become rich. Just like Chen Wenshan, it was originally just a small county order that was not allowed to be promoted for twenty years, but after taking refuge in the town marquis, he made up for Ying Tianfu Yin's real lack at an astonishing speed. From the prefect to the prefect is already an amazing speed, not to mention that he is still staying in the capital Yin, who can not see the red eyes?

It is precisely because of this that after the situation in the world deteriorated further and the north-south traffic was cut off, even Xiong Mingyu, Zheng Sanjun, Gao Hongtu and other first-class officials fell to the marquis of Zhenyu, and Zhu Yuncai had no reason not to fight to the death. After receiving Li Xin's approval, he was eager to kowtow to the Marquis of Zhenyu a few times to express his uncontrollable excitement and admiration.

has been an official for so many years, and he has always been a miscellaneous official, and if he wants to make achievements in the officialdom, it is actually difficult to climb to the sky, but now such a once desperate idea is about to come true, how can Zhu Yuncai not be excited?

Zhu Yuncai almost trembled and withdrew.

Li Xin still had important matters to decide, and at this time the situation in Nanjing had been temporarily calmed down, and the fire at the military port had been extinguished, so the first thing he did was to send several warships of the Pingbo fleet to Taiping Mansion to help in the battle. In his view, it was only a matter of time before the rebels in Taiping Province were defeated, although on the surface the situation seemed to be precarious in Nanjing, and the victory in Jiangxi made this visible precariousness disappear long ago. As long as the victory of the Taiping Mansion is achieved, then the prestige of the Wei general, who was ordered to guard Nanjing, will be discredited, and he can no longer pose a direct threat to the Three Guards.

There is another thing, that is, Li Xin has been hesitating whether to ask the whole city. In the past few days, people have continued to advise, including Zheng Sanjun, Gao Hongtu, and Chen Wenshan, to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the whole city and clear up those hidden worries with bad intentions. Because once the whole city is over, it will inevitably cause artificial tension, which is not what he is happy to see.

But today, there was such a terrifying event as a large number of lawless thieves attacking the inner city gate with strong bows and crossbows. Fortunately, the Three Guards were well-trained, and although they killed and wounded more than a dozen elite veterans, they ultimately thwarted the premeditated surprise attack.

It also made him realize that crises are often the most easily ignored internally, and didn't he make these two mistakes? The first time there was a fire in the military port, and this time there was a sneak attack on the city gate. The fire in the military port turned out to be closely related to his own subordinates, and this sneak attack on the city gate with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, if it was not without the protection of the people in the city, how could it be possible?

With many thoughts in mind, Li Xin categorically ordered the army to march into the inner and outer cities, lock up the spies, and deter lawlessness.

On the evening of the same day, Zhu Yuncai rushed to see Li Xin, "The Marquis of Zhen, it's done, it's done!" I thought that the boss had a hard bone, but he also became a soft egg under Miki, and he made all the moves! ”

When Li Xin heard that the leader of the masked thieves had confessed, he was overjoyed, "Great! Bring me the confession! ”

Who knew that Zhu Yuncai hesitated for a moment, and sneered: "That ringleader confessed is not a problem, only, only made a small request!" ”

Li Xin looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Say it!" What a small request! ”

"The leader of the masked thieves said that he had to see the marquis of the town in person before he confessed! He also said that there was a big secret to be told to the marquis! The lower officials were afraid that the thief had bad intentions, so he did not agree immediately. This confession was deliberated by the lower officials, and it was seamless! ”

After Li Xin took the confession, he saw that the logic of the writing was rigorous, and all kinds of details were handled very carefully. However, he also remembered what the big secret that the leader wanted to confess was.

"The rank of this leader is not low, he is still a thousand presidents, Fujian Haicheng, Liu Sheng."

Zhu Yuncai hurriedly added: "This person followed the Fujian General Military Officer as a pirate in his early years, and later the Fujian General Military Officer recruited An, and this person also changed his appearance to become an official soldier, otherwise how could such a thing be handed over to ordinary people to do?" The lower officials thought that this thief either wanted to use the big secret as an excuse to do bad things to the Hou Hou. Or there is really some secret thing that people don't know, and they want to exchange it for their own body. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuncai sneered: "This thief has a lot of thoughts to be wrong with him, like these people are all burdened with a lot of involvement, how can he be let live?" ”

Li Xin's heart moved when he heard Zhu Yuncai's words, "Okay! You might as well go and see him, I can't bear the child, I can't catch the wolf! ”
