Qin Tai listened to Zheng Yimin's words and suddenly realized. Ding Bai must have forgotten Zhang Jing's instructions and inquired about Jiangkou in private. He was self-righteous and secretly reported to his godfather Meng Chong. Unexpectedly, the letter was known to the other party before it left Jiangnan. The ruthless widow will certainly not let go of this Ding Bai. So he sent someone to kill Ding Bai, in order to kill people and kill people. But I didn't expect Meng Chong, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch and the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, who was far away in the capital, to be so attentive to this godson. not only sent people to investigate the cause of Ding Bai's death, but also rectified the entire Kunshan military camp. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, the Japanese temporarily left the estuary. When they returned, they learned that all the connections they had built up were gone. Jiangkou was so close to the Kunshan military camp and Nanjing City, which was not conducive to their long-term residence, so they had to abandon Jiangkou. It is no wonder that after the "Ma Sandao" went to the Jiangkou, he did not find any whereabouts of the Japanese invaders.

Zheng Yimin also told Qin Tai that the current eunuch of the Kunshan military camp is called Ma Ming, and he is a very unusual one among the many eunuchs. When Qin Tai heard the name Ma Ming, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Ma Ming is fifty-two years old, the oldest of all the eunuchs in the army. But his reputation is not as bad as that of the eunuchs who are the celebrants, and his fame is directly after the ** "ancestor" Lu Fang. Ma Ming entered the palace at the age of twelve, and he also belonged to a relatively late one. Ma Ming, who was twelve years old at the time, already knew the meaning of "descendant roots" for men, and also knew what it meant to lose it. But he still entered the palace in order to have an ambition, to be a good eunuch who is beneficial to the country and the people. Ma Ming was born in a military family and is still a child of a hereditary thousand households. But Ma Ming knew that if he didn't enter the palace, he would be just an ordinary officer at most. At that time, Emperor Jiajing had not long ascended the throne, and he urgently needed a group of servants who were loyal to him. Ma Ming voluntarily entered the palace in order to become Emperor Jiajing's confidant. Thus, through his own efforts, he persuaded Emperor Jiajing to do more good things that were beneficial to the country and the people. Ma Ming became a eunuch as he wished, and he was a "strong eunuch" who protected Emperor Jiajing. Ma Ming relied on his military background, and had some military knowledge and fighting skills since elementary school, and immediately became the backbone of the "Great Eunuch". Not only was he deeply appreciated by the chief eunuch at that time, but he was also impressed by Emperor Jiajing. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he is already a high-ranking eunuch. This is an honor specially rewarded by Emperor Jiajing, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford. It is said that a young eunuch under the age of 16 cannot have a rank, let alone hold an important position. But this Ma Ming made an exception, not only had a grade, but also served as Emperor Jiajing's personal guard eunuch.

In the days when Ma Ming wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, Ma Ming made a big mistake. Just as Ma Ming was preparing to take on the important position of Imperial Horse Supervisor, Ma Ming heard about Shen Lian. Shen Lian was born as a literati, and once became a jinshi and a magistrate. Later, because he was upright and unwilling to submit to Yan Song's party, he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Lu Bing take a fancy to Shen Lian's loyalty and learning, and sent his subordinate Jinyi Wei to bring Shen Lian to the capital with half a charge and half an invitation. It took Lu Bing nearly a year to finally persuade him to succeed, and Shen Lian was willing to take up the position of director of the Jinyi Wei Experience Division. The Jinyiwei Experience Division belongs to the civil service of Jinyiwei, which specializes in sending and receiving letters and drafting information for the emperor. Shen Lian was called Shen Shi by the people in the Jinyi Guard. Although Shen Lian is in Jinyiwei, he always remembers his identity and never does anything that ignores his conscience. A few years later, Shen Lian learned a lot of evidence of Yan Song's father and son's corruption and perversion of the law and endangering the country through Jinyiwei's secret channels. Shen Lian wrote the famous "Thirteen Crimes against Yan Song's Father and Son", which was sent to Emperor Jiajing through the special channel through which Jinyiwei could directly reach Tianting. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing didn't care at all, Emperor Jiajing thought that everyone was at fault, as long as Yan Song's father and son were loyal to him, it was not a big deal to be corrupt and domineering. But there were Yan Song's people among them, and they immediately told Shoufu Yan Song about it. Yan Song's father and son immediately contacted their henchmen and sued Shen Lian for interfering in court politics. Shen Lian is subordinate to Jinyiwei and belongs to the servants of the emperor's family, so it stands to reason that he cannot directly interfere in the government affairs. Yan Song's father and son took advantage of this and prepared to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and used Shen Lian to warn those who were against him, so they asked Shen Lian to deal with him.

Although Ma Ming didn't know Shen Lian, he admired Shen Lian quite a lot. Ma Ming really regretted that he didn't know Shen Lian earlier, if he had known Shen Lian earlier, Shen Lian would not have been the result he is now. Ma Ming secretly met with Shen Lian, and Shen Lian was reluctant to have more contact with the eunuchs, but after seeing Ma Ming, Shen Lian felt that he was wrong. The two of them hit it off at first sight in the edict prison of Dongchang, and they really hated each other. Before leaving, Shen Lian asked to marry Ma Ming as brothers of the opposite sex. It is a disgraceful thing in itself to be a brother of the opposite sex with a eunuch, especially for a person with status like Shen Lian, it is simply a shame to be a brother with a eunuch. But Shen Lian didn't want to slap Ma Ming, and secondly, he didn't want to be willing to fall, but really wanted to know this alternative eunuch before he died. Two people with very different identities and backgrounds ended up with brothers of the opposite sex in the darkest Dongchang prison in the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, Ma Ming ran around for the affairs of his righteous brother Shen Lian, and Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was as anxious as he was. However, the strength of the two of them was still not as good as Yan Song, and some "Qingliu" who could have stood on their side, but because Lu Bing was born in Jinyiwei and Ma Ming was a eunuch, they were unwilling to join forces with them, and lost their last chance to save Shen Lian. Shen Lian was convicted of the crime he committed and died in public at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital. Ma Ming was beaten by Emperor Jiajing after being demoted by Emperor Jiajing by six levels because he was biased towards Shen Lian. Because Ma Ming is upright and unsociable, of course the eunuch in charge of the punishment will not show mercy. Ma Ming lost the trust of Emperor Jiajing, and almost lost his life. Since then, Ma Ming has become an ordinary eunuch, and the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs intentionally or unintentionally did not let Ma Ming have the opportunity to get close to Emperor Jiajing.

Ma Ming was silent in the palace of the capital for a long time, but he was a righteous man who often stood up for some suffering eunuchs. Those eunuchs who gained power also knew Ma Ming's past, and knew that Ma Ming was not only skilled, but also had a certain background, so they didn't dare to torture Ma Ming to death. Ma Ming's reputation as a "chivalrous eunuch" is particularly useful among some little eunuchs, and everyone likes to be with Ma Ming. Ten years ago, Emperor Jiajing almost burned himself to death because of alchemy. The first person to rush in to save Emperor Jiajing was Ma Ming, and after rescuing Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was once unconscious. It was also Ma Ming's courage to wake up Emperor Jiajing, and finally saved Emperor Jiajing's life. When Emperor Jiajing saw clearly that the eunuch who saved him turned out to be Ma Ming, who he hadn't seen for many years, he was also taken aback by Ma Ming's dress. Ma Ming has offended many big eunuchs because he has given the little eunuchs a head over the years, and he has been sent to the Huanyi Bureau to wash the clothes that can never be washed with a large group of old and decrepit old palace maids. Emperor Jiajing is a person who is a little nostalgic, he knows that Ma Ming is many years younger than himself, but Ma Ming looks much older than Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing remembered Ma Ming's goodness for a while, Ma Ming not only saved himself this time, but also protected himself many times, and was his best minion, and it turned out to be the current result, which really made Emperor Jiajing angry.

Ma Ming was immediately appointed by Emperor Jiajing as the deputy head of Yuxi Palace, presiding over the escort work. Emperor Jiajing cultivated in the Yuxi Palace, which is equivalent to the Qianqing Palace, and the head of the Yuxi Palace is the eunuch Bingbi, who ranks third in the ranking of the celebrant and the eunuch. The deputy head of Yuxi Palace can also be regarded as an important position in the palace. When everyone thought that Ma Ming's willows were bright, Lu Fang, who was known as the "old ancestor" in the palace, secretly ordered his people to stay away from Ma Ming. As expected, Ma Ming caused great dissatisfaction among Emperor Jiajing because of many things such as persuading Emperor Jiajing not to take pills, staying away from Taoist priests, reusing virtuous ministers, and getting rid of Yan Song's father and son as soon as possible. Over the years, Emperor Jiajing has relied on pills, on Yan Song's father and son, and can't listen to any advice, and Ma Ming's words directly led to Ma Ming's cruel end. Emperor Jiajing not only ordered Ma Ming to be beaten again, but also drove Ma Ming out of the capital. Because Ma Ming served as a "strong eunuch" and worked as an errand in the imperial horse eunuch, Emperor Jiajing left some old feelings and assigned Ma Ming to serve as the eunuch of the Kunshan military camp. In this way, Ma Ming came here and became a supervising eunuch in the Kunshan military camp.

After learning that the eunuch in charge of the Kunshan military camp turned out to be Ma Ming, Qin Tai had a new deployment. Qin Tai ordered Zheng Yimin and his army to rush to the Kunshan military camp with Zhang Jing's body and Zhang Jing's subordinates. And Qin Tai took Zhan Xiaoxiao, "Ma Sandao" and Li Ding and other soldiers to the Kunshan military camp in advance.

After a night of rapid marching, Hu Zongxian's personal army led by Li Ding came to the vicinity of the Kunshan military camp with Qin Tai and the others. Qin Tai and the others decided to go directly to the Kunshan military camp.

When Qin Tai and the others came to the periphery of the Kunshan military camp, they had to be taken aback by the layout of the Kunshan military camp. This military camp can no longer be regarded as an ordinary military camp, even a "layman" like Qin Tai who does not understand military affairs can see that this military camp is not ordinary.

"Stop, this is a barracks. No one is allowed to approach it. A patrol of soldiers spotted Qin Tai and them, and while stopping Qin Tai, they sent signal arrows to notify the officers inside.

Qin Tai didn't have time to speak, and the large team of people inside had already rushed out and surrounded Qin Tai and them.

Li Ding knew how powerful these soldiers were, and hurriedly took out the token given to him by Hu Zongxian, and said loudly: "The mark is the personal soldier of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, and General Hu Zong. On the order of General Hu, he escorted Lord Qin Tai, who was investigating the case, to the barracks. Do not misunderstand, brethren, and call out your commander and the overseer. ”

Hu Zongxian's token is really useful, although the Kunshan military camp is near Nanjing, but the Kunshan military camp is subordinate to the forbidden army, that is, it is directly managed by the ** Imperial Horse Supervisor. Therefore, the Kunshan military camp can obey Hu Zongxian, or it can disobey Hu Zongxian's orders. But the average soldier is still a little afraid.

Soon after, a sturdy military general came out with a thin old eunuch. When the general saw the token in Li Ding's hand, he immediately changed his face. It can be seen that this master general was either Hu Zongxian's subordinate in the past, or someone who knew Hu Zongxian. But this old eunuch turned a blind eye to the token in Li Ding's hand, and his attitude was quite arrogant. He is the eunuch of the prison here, Ma Ming is also.
