As the governor of Jiangnan, he guarded Nanjing at the emperor's behest, and was fully responsible for dealing with the thieves in Jiangxi.

Killing can be intimidating, but it can be very intimidating. As a last resort, Hong Chengchou was unwilling to use this strategy.

Because as a civil official, he knows that the pen of history is like a knife, if he really dares to do something wantonly, I am afraid that he will end up with a reputation in history that will be remembered for thousands of years, which Hong Chengchou does not want.

However, in many cases, things are often left to no one's choice. In the afternoon, Nanjing Jinyi Wei Qianhu Chang Wu suddenly came to the Governor's Palace.

"Lord Hong, I wonder if you have read this newspaper?" Chang Wu put a newspaper in front of Hong Chengchou's eyes.

When Hong Chengchou took it, it was a copy of "Donglin Daily", which was the mouthpiece of the Donglin Party. Since the "Royal People's Daily" swept Beijing, various localities have followed suit to set up newspapers, and there are as many as four or five newspapers in Nanjing, among which "Donglin Daily" is the most authoritative, which has been recognized by Nanjing scholars, and the sales volume is also the largest. "Donglin Daily" published articles based on scriptures, Qian Qianyi and other Donglin bigwigs, Zhang Pu and other scholars often publish articles in the newspaper, in addition to the scriptures articles, there are poems and songs, and even the story of the wind and snow, the content is mixed, people at all levels can find the content they like to see, so it has a great influence in Nanjing City, and has even penetrated into the people.

"My lord, please look," Chang Wu pointed to an article on the front page of the newspaper and said, "This guy with a pen name called Dongting Mountain Man has openly written such a kingless and fatherless article, he really deserves to be killed!" ”

“...... The top and bottom are orderly, each in its own place, this is the way of the world, and openly declares that everyone is equal, which is actually a regular move of the cholera program! If everyone is really equal, then is the Son of Heaven equal to the common people? Can anyone sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven? Not to mention Juntian's move, it is really a clever robbery, how is it different from a robber?

......

Surrounded by ministers, the Son of Heaven is immoral, and the program often does not exist! At this time, how would promising people want to see social turmoil and chaos in the world? When united, we will participate in righteous deeds, clear the monarch's side, eliminate traitors, and also have a bright sky.

......”

Reading the article silently, Hong Chengchou's face became more and more ugly, and finally threw the newspaper on the ground: "This, this is a blatant rebellion!" ”

"Governor Hong, such a chaotic minister and thief, if there is one, they should all be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed!" Chang Wu gritted his teeth.

From an ordinary Jinyi captain in the past to the current Nanjing Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Chang Wu deeply felt the emperor's grace. Whether it is from the duties of the Jinyi Guard or the loyalty to the emperor, they hate such people who dare to insult the monarch's father, and they can't wait to get rid of them quickly.

But Chang Wu is very aware of the grim situation at the moment, hundreds of thousands of anti-thief armies are about to attack the city, if he destroys the defense of the city because he arrests people without authorization, it will be a great crime. Because behind the Donglin Daily is the Donglin Party, the official gentry of the entire Nanjing City.

Therefore, Chang Wu did not dare to arrest people directly, but came to the governor's palace to discuss with Hong Chengchou, which required the consent of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiangnan.

"Arrest, all of them are arrested, and the Donglin Newspaper is sealed!" Hong Chengchou only hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said fiercely.

Since arriving in Nanjing, in order to resist the Jiangxi anti-thieves, for the sake of the overall situation, Hong Chengchou has also been with the Nanjing officials and gentry, unwilling to be too ruthless to them, for fear of pushing them to the side of the anti-thieves. However, his kindness did not get any response, these people did more and more excessively, and it was just a matter of slandering him normally, and now they openly published such articles in the newspapers, which is a naked and blatant insult to the emperor! It's just another time, and now the anti-thieves are about to come outside Nanjing, and the big war is about to start, publishing such an article is simply condemnable!

"I will send a hundred soldiers from the standard camp to give you command, and then give you a token, you can call the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division at will, you go and seal the Donglin Newspaper Office, what Dongting Mountain people and everyone involved are arrested!" Hong Chengchou said fiercely. Hong Chengchou's standard battalion was composed of the 4,000 Praetorian Guards allocated to him by Zhu Youzhen. Although a hundred people are not many, it is a very powerful force in this Nanjing city, enough to destroy all obstacles!

When the anti-thief army is about to come to the city, it is necessary to make a ruthless move, and it is necessary to kill, otherwise it is impossible to shock people's hearts!

"Your Excellency, Governor, you're fine!" Chang Wu was happy, what he was waiting for was Hong Chengchou's words, and Chang Wu couldn't see the officials and gentlemen in Nanjing City for a long time.

With a hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers, Chang Wu didn't go to mobilize any more soldiers and horses in the five cities. The soldiers and horses in the five cities are all errand soldiers, not even soldiers, and they are usually responsible for disaster prevention and arson to clean the streets, such errand is not used at all, and it is not their own people, and it is not convenient to use.

As a thousand households in Nanjing, Chang Wu's subordinates are people, and there are not many Jinyi guards, but there are many Jinyi guards. Since Zhu Youzhen's reform of the Jinyi Guard, all post delivery departments have been included in the Jinyi Guard, and the local government has no jurisdiction over it. Since then, the post station system no longer has to deal with the deduction of the gentry, and can make profits through long-distance freight, so in the past few years, it has developed rapidly. And every year, Zhu Youjian will send people to various places to inspect the brocade guard system in various places, and the control is very strict. And the Jinyi Guards and the Jinyi Guards are also a system, and Chang Wu, who has the Emperor's Decree in his hands, can call on the Jinyi Guards.

Quickly dispatched troops, and Chang Wu personally led the team to rush towards the Donglin Newspaper Office on Sanshan Street.

Heavily armed soldiers ran through the streets, startling the people of Nanjing.

"Seal the front and back doors, everyone is not allowed to enter or exit, interrogate the identities of everyone inside, all newspaper people will be detained, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" Pointing to the door of the newspaper, Chang Wu said fiercely.

"Yes!" Hundreds of soldiers rushed up, and suddenly chickens and dogs jumped.

"What are you doing? Any idea what this place is? A newspaper steward snapped at the soldiers who rushed in.

"Who are you?" A brocade-clothed guard asked.

"In Xia Jia political and economic, Wanli forty-four years of talent, added as the manager of Donglin News!" This Xiucai, who was called Jia Zhengjing, opened his arms and tried to prevent the soldiers from entering. In his opinion, his talent and public status are enough to deter these Qiu Ba.

"Just a showman, he dares to stand in the way of Jinyiwei! Grab it!" That slap him to the ground, disdainfully.

"You insult Sven, do you know whose property this newspaper is?" When Jia Zhengjing was about to shout, a Praetorian Guard soldier couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his scabbard on his stomach, and then bent down screaming.

"President, no, some soldiers rushed into the newspaper office and arrested anyone they saw." In the flower hall in the backyard, Xu Wei, the director of the newspaper, was writing poems, when a servant suddenly rushed in and shouted in panic.

"Soldiers? What soldier dares to make trouble in the newspaper? Xu Wei frowned. Xu Wei himself is a side branch of the Wei State Mansion, and he has a reputation for being famous, and he is a member of the Donglin Party, so he can open such a Donglin newspaper in this Nanjing city, no matter what kind of articles are published in the newspaper, no one has ever dared to look for trouble.

Although the Duke of Wei declined, it was still the only duke in Nanjing City, and the Xu family had a pivotal position in Nanjing City, not to mention that there were a group of Donglin bigwigs standing behind Xu Wei, he really couldn't think of anyone else who dared to trouble him in this Nanjing City.

"Which yamen are you from?" Xu Wei walked out of the door slowly, bumped into Chang Wu and the others who rushed into the backyard, and couldn't help frowning.

"Don't you see the flying fish suit that Lao Tzu is wearing, Lao Tzu is a brocade guard!" Chang five big swaggering ways. The person in front of him was dressed in a lifting costume, and he should be the president of this newspaper.

"Jin Yiwei?" Xu Wei frowned. It's no wonder that he is clumsy, but in these years, Jinyiwei's presence in Nanjing City is too low. Yes, Jin Yiwei is very arrogant and domineering, but it is only in Beijing, and there is not much presence in other places. Unless it involves a big case like rebellion, you can't see Jinyiwei when you are idle.

"You're the owner of this newspaper? You've done something, come with us! Chang Wu stopped grinding, waved his hand, and the two fans rushed over and put up Xu Wei's arm.

"Wait, do you know who I am? I'm a dignified person, and I'm rude to wait for Hugh! Xu Wei said sharply.

"Lift people?" Chang Wu pursed his lips, "Don't talk about lifting people in the Jinyi Wei prison, even the champion Tanhua and the six Shangshu are also too much, what is it?" Chang Wu said disdainfully.

Seeing that Chang Wu and the others were coming to Zhenge, Xu Wei panicked and realized that the person in front of him was not an official of the Nanjing government, but a notorious Jinyi guard, and he was not afraid of his identity at all.

"Wait, if you want to arrest me, you have to tell me what crime I committed, right?" Xu Wei said urgently.

"What sin? To insult a king is a heinous sin! Chang Wu threw a newspaper down on Xu Wei's face.

Looking down at the newspaper that fell to the ground, he happened to see the article of Dongting Shanren published on the first page, and the sweat on Xu Wei's face suddenly flowed.

"Who are the people of Dongting Mountain? Said to be free from the pain of flesh and skin! Chang Wuyi lifted the clothes on Xu Wei's chest and asked sharply.

"I, I don't know his identity, he uses a pen name." Xu Wei panicked.

"You dare to publish his article without knowing your identity? It seems to be dishonest, come on, pull me down and torture me. Chang Wu said coldly.

The two fans pulled Xu Wei to the next room, and soon Xu Wei's miserable shouts came, and the rest of the newspaper was terrified.

"My lord, he recruited it, this kid really didn't plant, he just poked a bamboo stick into his fingernails and recruited it." Soon, a fan man walked out and handed Chang Wu a blank piece of paper full of confessions.

"Who the hell is it, tell Lao Tzu!" Chang Wu said angrily.

"Yes. According to Xu Wei's confession, the real identity of this Dongting Mountain person is Zhang Pu of the Restoration Society, who lives in the Lingering Garden on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the southern city. Fanzi said.

"Then what are you waiting for, go arrest someone!" Chang Wu said sharply, "All the authors who have published articles in Donglin Daily that slander His Majesty and discuss the government in vain, if there is one, I will arrest them all!" ”

"But the owner of the Lingering Garden is ......"

"I don't care who he is, if he dares to stop Jinyi Wei from doing an errand, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not good!" Chang Wu directly interrupted Fanzi's words.

Under Chang Wu's order, hundreds of soldiers divided into several roads and went separately to arrest the people on the list, and Chang Wu personally led a team of forty or fifty people to rush towards the Lingering Garden in the west of the city.

On the way, Chang Wu finally figured out that the owner of the Lingering Garden was Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei, and it was the annex of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

"Stop, this is the annex of the Wei State Mansion, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!" rushed to the Lingering Garden in the west of the city, and saw nearly 100 servants gathered at the gate, each with a knife and a stick, and the servant headed by him shouted at Chang Wu and the others.

"See? This is a long time to prepare. Chang Wu said to the fans around him.

"What are you waiting for? Anyone who dares to stop Jinyiwei from handling the case will be killed! Chang Wu shouted.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and more than a dozen domestic servants who were blocking the road fell on the spot, but it was the Praetorian Guard soldiers in the team who opened fire directly, with Hong Chengchou's order, and Chang Wu in front, these Praetorian Guard soldiers were naturally not afraid of killing.

"Kill ......" Seeing his companion being shot to death, the other servants were in a mess, crying and turning around and running.

These domestic servants are very bullying on weekdays, and when they really encounter someone who is more ruthless than them, they immediately coax them.

"Rush in and arrest someone!" Chang Wu waved his hand, and Fanzi and the Praetorian Guards rushed in, and the garden was suddenly full of chickens and dogs.

Xu Jiujue, the Duke of Wei, was accustomed to being vassally elegant, and often lent the Lingering Garden to the scholars of Nanjing to hold literary meetings to entertain celebrities from all over the world, and this Lingering Garden is located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a first-class elegant place in Nanjing. And today, this place of first-class elegance has suffered a catastrophe.

There happened to be a literary meeting in the Lingering Garden, dozens of scholars were chanting poems in the garden, dozens of wolf-like soldiers rushed in, arresting people everywhere, all the scholars wearing long robes and wearing Confucian crowns were directly taken down, ropes and ropes were tied up, and for a while, Sven swept the floor.

The scholars insulted and resisted, they were all noble scholars, and they had never looked down on these Qiu Ba, how could they let them arrest people?

But they are just weak scholars, how can they be the opponents of the Jinyi Guard, and how can they be the opponents of the battle-hardened Praetorian Guards?

To these scholars, these Qiu Ba will not be polite, waving the scabbard and the barrel of the gun, and beating these scholars to cry wolf.

There was a fierce resistance, which made the fans impatient, so they swung their knives and slashed down. After several of the soldiers were cut down in a pool of blood, the others trembled with fright and did not dare to resist anymore.

It didn't take much effort for the entire garden sergeant to be arrested, but after interrogation, Zhang Pu was not found among them.

"Interrogate them one by one, be sure to ask where Zhang Pu is!" Chang Wu said coldly.

"What? Jin Yiwei went to stay in the garden to arrest people? "Wei State Mansion, Xu Jiujue was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground.
