Chapter 506: Chaos
Many people thought that they would be like this until dawn, but after half an hour, someone broke in, and the catch that went out to check did not come back for a long time, which made the companions suspicious, and when they came here, they only saw the firecrackers everywhere on the red paper, and nothing else was found, even the front of the Feng family was clean and tidy.
After all, it was the poor person of the public gate, and he immediately saw that something was wrong, the Feng family had guards outside at this time, there was no reason to be empty, and they also smelled the smell of blood, and they were always familiar with this after being in the public gate for a long time.
What they didn't expect was that the small door of the Feng family's gate was locked inside, which made them feel strange, and they thought that they had misjudged, since the Feng family was closed, there was nothing to do.
In the final analysis, no one could have imagined that someone would do such a big case in Yangzhou, and everyone thought that no one would be so mad.
was about to leave, a person banged on the door and shouted, there was no reaction inside, this is really wrong, patted the door of the neighbor's house, called a dozen Ding Zhuang, set up a ladder over the wall, and then saw the corpse, and then walked inside, and also saw the domestic servant who was blindfolded and held by a short stick with a brick behind his back, trembling and knocking on the cloud board.
went up and asked, only to know that this person was tied up by thieves and blindfolded, and then he was ordered to knock on the cloud board, and said that if he stopped, the spear behind him would be stabbed down, and the people in the Feng family's mansion had already been frightened, and they couldn't see anything if they were blindfolded, so they naturally did it.
The people lying on the ground didn't dare to raise their heads, and the people who knocked on the cloud board didn't know about foreign affairs, so they went down in a daze, if it wasn't for outsiders coming in, I'm afraid it would have been like this until dawn.
Seeing that the capture was coming, the Feng family, who had been frightened and frightened all night, immediately collapsed, some people fainted directly, some people cried loudly, and some people began to wonder if they could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
There are hundreds of people in the Feng family's house, the dead and wounded are about two hundred, and there are more than 100 corpses on the ground, such casualties are nothing near Xuzhou.
This is so close to the city, and it is the Feng family's mansion, this Feng family is famous in the government and the grass, there are hundreds of guards at home, and there are often officials who move around, such a regulation and defense, these "Jiangyang thieves" rushed in so unscrupulously, I really don't know what kind of murderer Lu Dao is, he actually has such the courage to kill in, and the Feng family's so-called good hands have been killed so much.
Such a murderer, catch the army quickly, how can the regiment train the township brave to deal with, how can you let the battalion head on the river defense or the nearby garrison come over, you still don't want to go up to chase it, after calculating, the other party has only been gone for less than an hour, and if you really want to catch up and fight, wouldn't it be to go up and send you to death.
The decision was made, and several people tacitly said that they would first check the number of dead and wounded, and wait for the reinforcements to be sent in the city after dawn before making plans.
The so-called thief does not go empty, and the official will not be empty-handed when investigating the case, and after the shock is settled, the errand officer does not care about the deaths and injuries in the mansion at all, and checks the past room by room.
The tragic situation of the old lady of the Feng family and the old man of the Feng family certainly made them gasp, but the secret vault that was not covered, and the property scattered all over the house also made everyone's eyes red, which made it even more difficult to care about handling the case, and someone hurriedly went out to get a big car back.
The officials and errands carried the property one by one, and the rest of the Feng family also moved their minds, the master and the master were killed, and even the housekeeper Feng Da, who could be the master, died, this Feng family looked like it was about to disperse, and it was important to take this opportunity to make some money, who knew that he would not be in this house tomorrow.
When the light first appeared, the Feng family's mansion was completely chaotic, women cried, men scolded, and fought with each other, at first they fought for gold and silver, and then they didn't even let go of a porcelain bottle and cloth curtain.
Several places to hide wealth and goods in the Feng family's house have also been found, as long as it is in this mansion, there will definitely be traces in and out, and they will be seen by those who care.
In this chaotic scene, the biggest advantage is those guards, they are not opponents to fight the "Jiangyang thieves", but they have the upper hand against these servants and maids of the Feng family, and they immediately collude to do things, and the servants who are active-minded, knowing the place where the goods are hidden, understand that they can't swallow it alone, and find those who catch the fast guards, discuss the elements, and everyone share the profits.
The Feng family was noisy and chaotic, Chen Sheng and his party had already taken a boat into the canal, and were heading north along the river, after the horse-drawn carriages they used wiped the bloodstains, they stopped at the edge of a wharf as a whole, and the animals pulling the carts were unloaded and tied to the horse stakes, leisurely eating the forage in the cloth bag.
People passing by don't care after seeing it, this scene is too common in Yangzhou, after the driver sends people to deliver goods, stop on the edge of the dock to rest, or temporarily go to eat and drink tea, it is not unusual, but few people think that the coachman has disappeared,
Yangzhou is the hub of the canal, merchant ships, boats from the first stop of crossing the Yangtze River is Yangzhou, natural ships thousands, last night Zhao Ziying people on and off the boat are not seen by anyone, even if someone sees, want to find a few ships in this thousand sails race, it is also extremely difficult.
Not long after the city gate was opened, the officials in the city quickly went out to search the inns inside and outside the city, and blocked the canal wharf, but calculating the time, even the searchers knew that it was impossible to catch up with the thieves.
But to make such a big incident, with the status of the Feng family, I am afraid that the Jingshi court will be alarmed, the governor of Fengyang, the prefect of Yangzhou, and the prefect of Jiangdu County have all ordered strict investigations, and there are fast horses going north to Gaoyou Prefecture, and fast boats going south to Changzhou, informing the government to check the business travel to and from all places, to see if there are giants lurking in it.
It's just that there is one thing that doesn't matter, that is, the cao boat, the cao boat transports grain, and the ship has its own transportation of troops, which is self-contained, and the local government can't control it, not to mention that the cao boat is full of grain, and there is no place to hide.
Chen Sheng and his party got on the boat at dawn, they were all dressed as merchants, and weapons and armor were also packed in boxes.
The boat carrying them naturally didn't know that Chen Sheng was the murderer of the big case in Yangzhou last night, and they didn't even know that there was a big case in Yangzhou.
Zhao Ziying and Sunjia Commercial Bank have a close relationship with all aspects of Cao Yun because of the exchange of grain for wine, and it is naturally a trivial matter for them to help carry people and goods, listening to Chen Sheng's Xuzhou accent, Cao Ding only thinks that it is the rich and noble son of Xuzhou who travels.
Just like this, all the way through the state, and when they arrived at Qingjiangpu, they would get off the boat one after another, but they were not in a hurry to gallop back north, but followed the fleet that transported people to advance together until all the ships in Pizhou disembarked.
The news of the Feng family's accident arrived in Xuzhou faster than the team led by Chen Sheng, this is the person arranged by Liu Yong to wait for the news there, and he will return as soon as there is something.
From the first month of the forty-fifth year of Wanli to May, Zhao Jin did not have a moment of leisure, from late May to June, Zhao Jin can be called idle, of course, his leisure is different from others, for Zhao Jin, training soldiers and horses every day, and managing internal affairs, this is already considered leisure.
On the second day of the first month of June, Zhao Jin invited Feng Jinde, who was stationed in Xuzhou, to come here.
No matter what Feng Jinde thought in private and what he said, in front of Zhao Jin, he was still respectful and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, although he was almost thirty years older than Zhao Jin.
"Elder Feng don't stay in Xuzhou, hurry back to Yangzhou." Zhao Jin said straight to the point.
Feng Jinde was stunned for a moment when he said this, thinking about why he had given an eviction order for some reason, but he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience in Zhao Jin's words, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he still said with a smile: "Since Master Jin said it, then Feng will set off." ”
Feng Jinde's decency only lies in not calling himself a "villain" or "small", seeing that he is so obedient, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to go back this time, after going back, if Feng Lao has anything to embarrass him, Zhao is willing to help." ”
Hearing this, Feng Jinde boldly asked: "Jin Ye, old and dull, can you ask Jin Ye to make it clear?" ”
"What do you say, I don't know anything, Feng Lao go back quickly, it's best to leave today, if there are any difficulties at that time, Zhao Ziying will never stand by!" Zhao Jin said vaguely with a smile.
Having said this, he did not give Feng Jinde the slightest time to delay, and immediately a soldier of the pro-guard team "accompanied" Feng Jinde back to his residence, stared at them, arranged the carriage and horses, and then went on the road.
And along the way, Zhao Jin was very enthusiastic, and he also arranged a horse team to follow, staring at Feng Jinde to get on the boat in Pizhou.
Feng Jinde's ship arrived at Qingjiangpu to stop, Yangzhou Feng's house was attacked at night, more than 200 people were killed and wounded, and the news that the lord and the grandfather all died tragically had been spreading, Feng Jinde's confidants heard this and hurriedly came back to report.
At first hearing this, Feng Jinde sat for a full time with a stick of incense, and then lay on the side of the boat and vomited, as if he was seasick, and finally calmed down, Feng Jinde's face was pale, trembling all over, and now he bought a cotton robe from the pawnshop on the shore and put it on his body, even so he kept calling it cold, looking at the weather outside wearing a single shirt and sweating, everyone felt weird.
Although he vomited and shouted cold, Feng Jinde went ashore to change to a carriage and hurried all the way to Yangzhou Mansion.
The Feng family has become a mess, and it is good to stay in Yangzhou for so long to inherit everyone, branches, each house and branch, there are many people surnamed Feng, they have their own power behind them, they all want to take a bite of the Feng family's big fat meat, and it is naturally better to swallow it all.
