Half a month after An Jianqing was sent out by Luo Chen, with the help of the 'Evil Killer', he successfully took down the head of Li Yanxiang, one of the core strategists under the command of the thief, so that Luo Chen was rewarded with 1,000 experience points while being rewarded by Chongzhen.

It's a pity that the difficult situation of the Ming Dynasty has not improved much, and the Liukou army has been in Tong. The commander of the army on the side of the imperial court is Sun Chuanting, although this person is excellent in commanding the troops, but due to the plague, the soldiers under his command who can fight are less than thirty percent.

Also because of the plague, the number of people who have died due to infection in the capital has accumulated to more than 300,000, and the population of the capital has been reduced by a quarter.

It was at this time of turmoil that there was another bad thing in the capital, the large treasury of the household department was stolen three times in succession, and thousands of taels of silver were robbed.

Although the loss is not large, it is no less than a direct slap in the face of the imperial court.

Chongzhen was furious and strictly ordered the Household Department Shangshu and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Commander to solve the case within one month, otherwise the officials of the Household Department and the Soldiers and Horses Command Department of the Yamen would be dismissed and dealt with strictly. It's a pity that the more closely the yamen traced it, the treasury silver was still stolen one after another.

In this case, even Jinyiwei can't be left alone.

Luo Chen naturally knew that this case was handled by Cao Huachun's instructions to the Five Poisons Sect, and because he had been informed by Cao Huachun before, Jin Yiwei could only turn a blind eye.

……

Half a month passed, and the yamen still did not find out the thief of the treasury silver, so Chongzhen exchanged the diligence of the minister, and the commander of the household department and the soldiers and horses of the five cities were dismissed without accident, and many officials of these two departments were implicated.

At the same time, bad news came from the front line, and the court was shaken.

Tongguan was broken by Liukou, and Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Ming army, was martyred!

After the news reached Fusi in Beizhen, Luo Chen immediately met with Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin soon arrived: "Humble position, see your lord!" ”

Luo Chen didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Sun Chuanting is dead, Liukou has broken through Tongguan, and the capital can't stop it." Jingying was infected by the plague and almost half of them died, so they couldn't be counted on. Start the deployment of Nanjing, and if necessary, take away Your Majesty and abandon Beijing! ”

Zhang Jin hadn't gotten the news yet, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard it. They did have internal arrangements for the Liukou, but they didn't expect the Liukou's attack to be so ferocious, or they could only blame the Ming army for being too wasteful.

Without waiting for Zhang Jin to speak, Luo Chen continued: "I arranged for the undercover agents who infiltrated the rogue before, as well as the 'evil killer', let them do it immediately, Li Chuang, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance...... I want these people's heads, at any cost! ”

Zhang Jin also understood the seriousness of the situation and knew that there was no other way at this time, but he hesitated: "But my lord, Li Chuang still has Mu Renqing by his side?" ”

Previously, it was because he couldn't think of a way to transfer Mu Renqing away, so he waited for the opportunity and didn't do it! It's a pity that even though Mu Renqing learned that his second apprentice's family was arrested and imprisoned, and the life and death of the third disciple were unknown, he still didn't leave half a step.

Although Mu Renqing's martial arts are high, as long as he is willing to spend his blood, the 'evil killer' can pile him to death. But if the 'evil killer' can't kill Li Chuang at the first time, he will be dragged by Mu Renqing for a while, and he will inevitably lose the opportunity, and when the army of thieves reacts, no matter how many 'evil killers' can only be consumed.

And once the first time is unsuccessful, it will inevitably startle the snake, and the second time you want to do it again, it is far from being as easy as the first time.

Luo Chen stared at Zhang Jin and said lightly: "I said at any cost!" ”

"Increase the number of dead, poison, firecrackers... The solution was figured out by people. ”

Zhang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "The lowly position understands, and the lowly official personally commands this matter!" ”

Luo Chen continued to instruct: "In case the Jiannu outside the gate take advantage of the fire to rob, let the people and horses in Shengjing also move, and find something to do for the sons of wild boar skin." ”

For example, discuss whether Fulin is a hybrid of Big Jade and Dolgon. Or mention the old story of Dorgon's biological mother being buried alive by Huang Taiji to the boar skin. It would be great if they could involve some of their internal contradictions.

As for sending the 'evil killer' into Shengjing? After dealing with Li Chuang's thieves, as well as Cao Huachun and others in the capital, he will free up manpower and wash Shengjing in blood.

After Zhang Jin received Luo Chen's order, he didn't dare to hesitate, and when he left Beizhen Fusi, he went out of the city to mobilize 'evil killers', mobilize resources, and make operational arrangements.

……

Also on this day, when the canopy is getting dark.

Cao Huachun asked Luo Chen to inform him to enter the palace, but the reason was not said.

The Jinyi Guard, who Luo Chen sent to monitor the Five Poison Sect, Taibai Sanying and others, also sent news, and these people who were monitored were all rushing to the palace without exception.

He knew that Cao Huachun was ready to do it.

And Luo Chen was also waiting for this moment, Beisi's arrangement in the palace was immediately activated, and at the same time, the 'evil killer' and some Jinyi guards were also secretly gathering in the palace.

Whether it's a yellow finch or a fisherman, we'll see tonight.

……

The night was overcast, with heavy snow and a cold wind.

Luo Chen was dressed in a flying fish suit and was brought into the palace by the little eunuch arranged by Cao Huachun outside the palace gate, and the guards guarding the gate turned a blind eye to it. Luo Chen knew that since Cao Huachun was already preparing to act, he must have arranged some things properly.

followed the little eunuch in the palace for a long time and came to Cao Huachun's residence.

"Lord Luo, the little one will take you here, there are father-in-law and other guests there, and my father-in-law ordered you to come and go up by yourself." The little eunuch said.

Luo Chen nodded, waved his hand to the little eunuch, and stepped in.

Seeing that there was no one downstairs, and hearing a slight conversation upstairs, Luo Chen walked up the stairs. Sure enough, Cao Huachun and some people were here.

In addition to Cao Huachun, there were ten other people, all disguised as eunuchs.

Two women, four old men, four young men.

What particularly attracted the attention was a woman with an iron hook on her left wrist, even if she was wearing the clothes of an internal official, it was still difficult to hide her charming and charming color.

Seeing her phoenix eyes with spring, long eyebrows into the temples, and a smile at the corner of her mouth, she was about twenty-two or three years old, her complexion was white and greasy, and her fat was as bright as jade, which was very confusing.

In addition to this beautiful woman, another woman is also difficult to ignore, with a scar on her face, hideous and ugly, her eyes are gloomy, and her evil spirit is exposed.

Luo Chen knew that these two people were He Tieshou and He Hongyao of the Five Poisons Sect.

Since Yuan Chengzhi's life and death are unknown, Xia Qingqing is dead, and the Five Poisons Sect has no chance to have anything to do with them. He Tieshou was not tempted by Xia Qingqing's beauty in women's clothes, so he should not have a gap with He Hongyao, and his aunt and nephew turned against him.

In addition, the four gray-haired old men should be the four elders of the Shiliang Wen family, but unfortunately the fourth one was abolished by Yuan Chengzhi, otherwise it would be the fifth elder.

The last four young men, from the attitude, can be found to be two distinct groups, no need to guess to know that standing together is Taibai Sanying, these three have already taken refuge in Jiannu, are Dolgon's cronies.

When Cao Huachun saw Luo Chen, he smiled on his fat face, and pulled Luo Chen to introduce the other people in the room one by one.

Cao Huachun had not told anyone else about Luo Chen beforehand, and at this time, when he saw the disdain and perfunctory attitude towards Luo Chen in the eyes of everyone, he introduced Luo Chen's identity to them.

"Everyone, this is my most trusted son, Luo Chen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, even if you are in the rivers and lakes, you should have heard of him."

When everyone heard this, their eyes looked at Luo Chen with more jealousy and attention.

After Jinyi Wei almost killed Beizhili and Shandong Lvlin Haojie, and then slaughtered the Golden Snake Alliance, which was a major force in the south of the Yangtze River, the name Luo Chen can be said to be notorious in the rivers and lakes, even if many people have never seen him.

"Lord Luo, sure enough, the young hero!" Taebaek Sanying was worried about showing kindness.

"Long admiration! Long admiration! The four elders of the Wen family arched their hands lukewarmly.

The four elders of the Wen family are also thieves, and when they think of the miserable fate of other colleagues facing Jinyiwei, they inevitably have some palpitations in their hearts, so they simply stay away.

However, the structure of the Five Poisons Sect is special, and its strength is not low, so it is not much to be afraid of, He Hongyao did not say a word, and did not even look at Luo Chen.

However, He Tieshou smiled coquettishly and said: "I have heard of Lord Luo's prestige for a long time, and I have always heard people say how terrible Lord Luo's brocade guards are, but I don't know if my lord's private skills are as scary as my reputation... Can you teach me when you have time? ”

She covered her mouth and smiled, her body trembled like a flower branch, and she was a demon girl.

Luo Chen smiled lightly: "Since he is a friend of his father-in-law, Sect Master He doesn't have to see outside, if you are interested, you can go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to find this official at any time." ”

He added in his heart: Wait until you can survive tonight.

He Tieshou's voice was coquettish: "Then thank Master Luo first, don't dislike it." ”

"Okay, Sect Leader He, there's not much time, let's talk about business first."

Cao Huachun sat on the chair, and everyone was solemn when they saw that they were talking about business.

Listen to Cao Huachun said: "The thieves broke through Tongguan, and Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the military department, was martyred." ”

Luo Chen had already received the information, but the others were shocked when they heard it at first.

They all know what that means, and a change of dynasty may be just around the corner.

Cao Huachun said: "The thieves are approaching the Beijing Division, if the emperor does not borrow troops from the Manchu Qing to destroy the Emperor, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years will be lost in his hands." We put the country first, so we have to set up another Ming Jun to maintain the community. ”

He Tieshou knew more, and said, "Then the prince will be Cheng." ”

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Yes, today I want to borrow you to serve the new monarch." All major events are undertaken by brothers. has made great contributions, but it is everyone's. ”

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, the duties were assigned immediately.

Cao Huachun looked at Luo Chen: "Have you arranged for all the people of the Northern Division to enter the city?" ”

Luo Chen said with a smile: "Ten thousand horses have long been on standby in the city. ”

Cao Huachun said: "Well, in another hour, the four old gentlemen of the Wen family led the right-hand brothers to ambush around the emperor's palace to prevent others from entering. Sect Master He's subordinates crouched outside the study, and King Cheng entered to admonish. ”

Mr. Lu Qi said: "General Zhou commands the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, he is loyal to the present, right?" Do you want to get rid of it first, so as not to be unexpected? ”

Cao Huachun said with a smile: "General Zhou and Fu Shangshu, those two guys, have already been eliminated by me with a little trick. Sect Leader He, tell him what you say. ”

He Tieshou said with a smile: "Gonggong Cao wants to support King Cheng to ascend the throne, and he knew that General Zhou and Fu Shangshu were two major troubles, so he ordered Xiaomei to send people to the household department to steal the treasury silver for several days. The emperor was self-serving, unkind, and could not see this crime of dereliction of duty, and this afternoon he had issued an order to dismiss Zhou Fu and the others to be condemned. ”

When everyone heard this, they praised again and again.

In the end, Cao Huachun looked at Luo Chen again: "The commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities has just been dismissed, the new commander has not yet been appointed, and there is no one in command in the Beijing camp for the time being, so you can let your men and horses control the inside and outside of the imperial city tonight." ”

Luo Chen smiled lightly: "Child, let's arrange it." ”
