Chapter 24: Surprise

"Who are you waiting for! Murder is being done here! The people who shouted were dressed in Ming armor, and they were led by a fat middle-aged man, who rode a fine black horse, with a shiny face and good armor.

A sturdy man beside this person glanced at the corpse a few times, his face instantly panicked, and he hurriedly whispered to the fat man: "Lord Baihu, what they killed is really the Fan family." ”

When Wu Cheng heard this, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and pulled out a big knife with a "poof": "Dare to make trouble in the hundred households!" Surround me with all the people! ”

The Fan family didn't come until the time, and they wondered if there was an accident, and they couldn't sit still, so they came to take a look, but they didn't expect the caravan to be really robbed and killed!

In the territory of Datong Mansion, the people who dared to move the eight major chambers of commerce, these people must have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

As soon as Shangguan spoke, how could this little soldier not listen to reason, these soldiers who were completely different from the mental outlook of ordinary Ming soldiers, almost each had a horse, equipped with good knives and guns, and very actively surrounded the Jinyi guards.

Lu Wenzhao's expression was gloomy, for convenience, they didn't wear uniforms, just wearing ordinary brocade clothes, but most of the sabers were still obvious but embroidered spring knives, these people's eyes were not glued with lard.

He sneered, ripped off the token on his waist, and raised it high: "Open your dog's eyes wide and see clearly, the dog's daring things dare to surround you Jinyi Wei Qianhu Grandpa!" ”

Wu Cheng, who scolded the hundred households, turned red and purple, in front of so many people, he had no face at all, red was ashamed, purple was angry.

But the four big characters of "Beizhen Fusi" on this token made him dare not attack, so he had to glare at the strong man next to him, hurriedly dismounted, saluted Lu Wenzhao, and said with a smile: "I have seen a thousand households, and the adults are angry, but I really don't know that the adults are working here, and it is our dereliction of duty to fail to assist." ”

He saluted, and his men and horses had no reason to sit on horses, and they fell to their knees.

Lu Wenzhao snorted coldly, withdrew the token, and said, "These people are accomplices in the anti-Yang case, and you are not qualified to wait for assistance." They are going to flee today, and you are on the way through which you must pass, and you have just finished dying, and you have come, and you won't tell me that you have nothing to do with them, will you? ”

Wu Cheng's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have brought people to see the situation because the Fan family had been delayed. Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, this brocade guard is approaching step by step.

If he confessed, the crime of indulging merchants and smuggling enemies in his own guard was exposed, and he and these brothers would have to die, and even those masters on his head would not let go of betraying them;

But if it is concealed, Fan's smuggling must be opened to their guard, and now that the person is dead here, it is the biggest evidence, and it cannot be concealed.

Wu Cheng gritted his teeth, and slowly put his right hand on the big knife on his waist, both left and right were dead, but it was better to kill these people and flee to live a happy life.

He had already told his subordinates about the seriousness of the incident, and the disobedient ones had already been slaughtered, and they exchanged glances with each other, and they all flashed their knives.

Jinyiwei's side was also prepared, Lu Wenzhao kept staring at these people, seeing that there was something wrong, they didn't talk nonsense to each other, and directly slashed together.

Lu Wenzhao scolded loudly: "I have long known that you are not clean, a fucking nest of traitors, all of them deserve to die!" ”

Wu Cheng was also not satisfied with the respectful attitude just now, and still said after being stabbed: "You stay in the best place in the capital without worrying about food and clothing, and you also have the face to say that we are not in arrears of salaries and silver, and the old and young in the family still need to be fed, who will do this!" ”

"Lord Baihu is right, the salary is not enough for me to support my wife and children, and I will go back to arrears, if it weren't for Mr. Fan, I would have starved to death! Today, you robbed and killed the Fan family, and we need to take your head to Mr. Fan and Shangguan to explain! The strong man beside Wu Cheng clashed a young brocade guard to death.

"Don't use these high-sounding words to deceive Lao Tzu, all the fat heads and big ears are good to say here, other people's salaries can be broken, and you will be broken by a hundred households? I'm afraid you didn't hack all your brother's money. "Lu Wenzhao didn't eat him at all, he used to be in the army, and he knew that some Shangguan pulled out was worse than pigs and dogs.

Wu Cheng's face twitched, his eyes became more and more fierce, he was really in no mood to answer, they were outnumbered, and they had the upper hand, but the white-clothed swordsman took away more than half of it alone, and his martial arts were not as good as Lu Wenzhao, and he was always pressed and cut.

Several close soldiers were hacked to death by a woman, and even Wu Cheng, who had just spoken, was killed by a handsome young man.

In a blink of an eye, except for a few in the distance, he was the only one around.

Under the loss of his mind, Wu Cheng's right palm was cut off by Lu Wenzhao's red floc, and he screamed in pain.

"Brother Ye, I'm still bothering you to seal this person's acupoint, I want to bring him back to Beizhen Fusi for strict interrogation." Lu Wenzhao saw that Wu Cheng was no longer able to lift the knife, and said to Ye Gucheng.

"You're welcome." Ye Gucheng replied, and neatly sealed Wu Cheng's acupoint to stop the bleeding by the way.

Ding Xiu also came back on horseback, with two children with their hands and feet tied in front of him. Lu Wenzhao was very surprised, patted his shoulder with his bloody right hand, and praised: "Good job." ”

Ding Xiu retreated exaggeratedly, and complained in a complaining tone: "Senior brother, you rubbed blood on me!" ”

"Hey, you kid owe a beating, don't you?" Lu Wenzhao was very helpless about Ding Xiu's skin, this junior brother was not quite the same as several of them, and his personality was very out-of-tant.

Ding Xiu smiled.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up, let's leave Datong Mansion quickly." Lu Wenzhao's tone was eager, this place was still relatively close to the town, and if it was discovered, it would be a bunch of moths. Just leave a letter for the brocade guard here. What's more, if you catch a living mouth that condones smuggling, it will be a great achievement to go back.

"You mean, the Fan family is like this, there are seven more in Shanxi, and they are the enemy with Shanxi officialdom. Are the Tatars and Jurchens raised by our Ming Dynasty? Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden feeding the fish, had mocking eyes, but still said to Xu Xianchun with a smile.

"It's the ministers' poor supervision." Xu Xianchun knelt on one knee, sweating slightly on his forehead.

"What else would you say but say that? What is the use of mourning the family lifting you up? Shanxi has become a sieve, if Chahar goes south, are you asking the mourning family to send the entire north land out and take the emperor to hunt south? Jiang Yuyan said sharply, she was really angry, she didn't want to let herself become a person like Chongzhen.

"Niangniang forgive the sin, please give the minister another chance, and the minister will uproot the eight families in Shanxi and their backers." Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground, and scolded Nanzhen Fusi eight hundred times in his heart, focusing on military intelligence and military discipline but not mentioning the situation in Shanxi, he didn't believe that they didn't know.

made another note to Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin was born in the military, and the people in Nanzhen Fusi were all his right-hand men, Xu Xianchun didn't believe that they didn't have ventilation.

"The mourning family can give you a chance, two months, find out the people, and then work with Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory to bring people into Beijing, and the nine clans who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and the military report of the Liaodong Jurchens, the mourning family wants you to submit it to the Nanzhen Fusi as soon as possible, if it is slower than the local excerpt, the mourning family will hang you on the tree in the coal mountain behind! Did you hear me clearly? Jiang Yuyan's voice was not hurried, but it was full of threats.

She knew that the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty was not in Chahar, but in the Jianzhou Jurchens, but since she became the queen mother, she didn't know anything about Liaodong except for the reports of Wang Shouren and other Liaodong officials.

Although Xu Xianchun didn't understand why the Queen Mother hung him on the coal mountain, he still vouched for it.

"Rest assured, the minister will definitely do things beautifully."

Jiang Yuyan rubbed her forehead, Su Huirong took it with great eyes, and she said again: "This is too passive, you arrange, send some people to infiltrate the Jurchens, find out their armaments and upper-level relations, even if it is the scandal of Huang Taiji, don't know anything." If the silver is used, the mourning family will let the household approve it. ”

"Obey the will of the mother." Xu Xianchun took a sip.

"Go ahead." Jiang Yuyan waved her hand to drive people away.

"The minister retired." Xu Xianchun got up and left.

Jiang Yuyan pondered, if there were Qian Qianyi and Huang Taiji here, would other people in the late Ming Dynasty also exist. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyan was a little excited, and said to Yang Jinshui who was waiting on the side: "Yang Jinshui, you go to the West Investigation Factory, and Xuanyu Huatian comes to Cining Palace." ”

"Slave and maid, let's do it." Yang Jinshui bowed and said.
