Chapter 323
"What's the matter, our Jinyi Wei captured your brother?" Luo Yangxing stood up in some surprise.
Zhao Shixiang and Luo Yangxing are not only old acquaintances, but also good friends. Zhao Shizhen naturally also knows, according to the regulations of Jinyiwei, arrest a five-grade official of the imperial court, there is no reason why he does not know.
No matter how smart Xie Youcai was, he didn't expect Zhao Shizhen's eldest brother Zhao Shixiang to be good friends with Luo Yangxing. The servants of the Zhao family went back to report that as soon as the master's family left Tsinghua Garden, they were caught by several brocade guards. Zhao Shizhen's wife immediately went crazy and hurriedly sent someone to find Zhao Shixiang.
Zhao Shixiang was also confused, he knew this brother best. I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't have the habit of gambling and visiting kilns. And he is also an official who will be a prisoner, a person like him can do everything, and the officials in the court will probably have to go to prison.
But after all, the younger brother was on the street and was taken away by a group of guys wearing flying fish suits. Zhao Shixiang found Luo Yangxing for the first time, and saw Luo Yangxing's shocked face.
"Wait!" Luo Yangxing admonished Zhao Shixiang and walked out immediately.
"You really didn't arrest anyone?" Luo Yangxing was in the courtyard and found a few of his commanders. This kind of lock without going through Shangguan is a big taboo for Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing made up his mind that as long as he found out who did it, he would definitely serve the family law.
"My lord! Arresting the five-rank officials of the imperial court, this is a long live speech. Even if we Jinyiwei investigate the case, we have to ask you before we can bring it back for questioning. If you didn't have you, I wouldn't have dared to do this if I borrowed a few of us! ”
"That's right! How dare we? ”
"My lord, I definitely didn't do this."
“……!” A few conductors shook their heads like rattles.
"Say it now, and the official can still take care of you. If it is found out, you know the consequences. Luo Yang's eagle-like eyes stared at the people in front of him.
"Not really!"
"How dare we!"
Luo Yangxing's brows were twisted into a pimple, and he could see from the eyes of his subordinates that this matter should not have been done by them. They know that the consequences of doing so are very serious.
Then this thing is a little abnormal, maybe there is a tolerance for the city fox society rat to pretend to be the yamen. But absolutely no one dares to pretend to be Jinyiwei, that is a big crime of the Zhu clan, and the embroidered spring knife in the flying fish suit is not something that ordinary people can get.
Now there are people wearing flying fish suits and holding Xiuchun knives, and openly tying up a five-rank official of the imperial court on the streets of the capital. What are they going to do?
"Check! Immediately block the four gates and investigate the whereabouts of Zhao Shizhen, the head of the prison. This afternoon, he was taken down the street by several people wearing flying fish suits. Wearing a flying fish suit is very eye-catching on the street, so he started from the west gate where he was taken away. In any case, if you live to see a person and die to see a corpse. Luo Yangxing, with Jinyiwei's unique sensitivity, felt that something was wrong with this matter.
"No!" Several commanders made a promise, and rushed to the west gate with their men.
Luo Yangxing pushed open the door and walked back to his public house.
"Brother Zhao, does Brother Ling have any enemies in the capital recently? Or, who have you offended? Luo Yang's face was gloomy.
"You know my brother, who keeps watch all day in the firearms workshop where he will be imprisoned. One is not to smoke, and the other is not to drink. On weekdays, I haven't heard of going to the casino to visit the kiln, and the official he is has never even played a sparse role, how can he offend people. Lao Luo, our brothers have been friends for more than 20 years, you have to make it clear to your brothers. What the hell happened to my brother, what kind of royal law did he commit? Seeing Luo Yangxing's face, Zhao Shixiang was also anxious.
"It's hard to say yet, I asked my men. Brother Ling was taken away, it was not our Jinyiwei people who did it. Then the matter is serious, pretending to be Jinyiwei to kidnap Brother Ling, I don't say how big this crime is, you should also understand. What kind of person is it, risking the great crime of exterminating the three clans, and also kidnapping your younger brother Zhao Shizhen? ”
"Kidnapping? How could this be? He is a tendon who studies firearms, and he never participates in the disputes in the court! ”
"Firearms ......!" Luo Yangxing's eyes immediately widened.
Taking such a big risk to kidnap someone must have a purpose, and Zhao Shizhen has no power and no money. The only thing I can get my hands on is ...... He was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to study firearms.
So......! His captors seem to be on the verge of being called.
"Someone came, and immediately sent a horseman. Blockade Juyongguan, Mutianyu, Huailai, Jimen. Strictly check the passers-by, and be sure to find out Zhao Shizhen's whereabouts. Luo Yang thought about it, and it had been at least more than an hour since the incident happened. If the plan is thorough, the person should have left the capital.
must stop people in the territory of Daming, Luo Yangxing knows the value of this Zhao Shizhen too well.
"No!" Xiaoqi replied and hurriedly left.
"Wait! Send fast horses to Shanhaiguan and let them help intercept them as well. "The one who can kidnap Zhao Shizhen so carefully is definitely not a small force. Luo Yangxing's first suspicion was the Houjin Tartar outside Shanhaiguan.
"No!"
"Lao Luo, my brother ......!" Seeing Luo Yang's nervous expression, Zhao Shixiang also became nervous. After many years of friendship, it was the first time he saw Luo Yangxing's expression.
"Brother Zhao, I'll tell you the truth. I suspect that Brother Ling was kidnapped by the Jurchen Tartars! Luo's gloomy face seemed to be able to wring out water.
"Jurchen Tartar, how can this be ......!"
"But Brother Zhao, don't worry, you are openly kidnapping people in the capital. When I was a brocade guard, did I eat idle food? Luo Yangxuan gritted his teeth angrily, once this matter made the Tartar successful. The face of the brocade guard was trampled under his feet!
Absolutely not to let this happen, absolutely not!
Soon Luo's judgment was confirmed, because wearing a flying fish suit on the street was too eye-catching. Someone saw those guys wearing flying fish suits entering an alley outside the Xibian Gate.
No, the alley was immediately cordoned off for a house-to-house search. In the ashes of a family, fragments of flying fish suits were found that had not been completely burned. There's nothing to say, Jin Yiwei's rough people don't pay attention to any frankness and leniency. It was a fat beating, and the red-hot tip of the knife was against the eyeball. As long as you don't say it, you will immediately gouge out the eyeballs.
The tortured man immediately finished the ideological struggle and pointed to the water tank.
Jin Yiwei comprehended, opened the water tank and found a hole in the ground. Three brocade guards were killed, and the people in the cave were cleaned up. Dragged it out and saw that one of the guys was actually wearing a wig. He's a fucking Tartar!
Luo Yang's anger was out, tying people under Lao Tzu's nose, and letting people not mix, Jinyiwei immediately rode out. It doesn't matter if it's the northeast or the northwest. From Juyong Pass to Huailai Jimen, and even Shanhaiguan have Jinyi guards who are checked. Of course, there are also Tiqi sent out to the south, but Da Ming is like this.
There are many passes to the north of the capital, but there are few passes to the south of the capital. Most of them are towns and cities, and it is very difficult to check them.
However, everyone decided that since it was the Jurchen Tartars who took people away. The return path is nothing more than two, one is to detour from the northwest to Mongolia and return to Liaodong. The second is to go directly through the Shanhaiguan and then find a way to slip through the Jinzhou defense line.
"Damn, why did Jinyiwei react so quickly?" Old Chen Fu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, going back and forth in the house.
It's been three days since he tied people back, but Jinyiwei's reaction was too fast. Zhao Shizhen hadn't had time to be transported out of the capital, thinking that the servants of the Zhao family had reported the news, and the Zhao family had a relationship to find someone, so it would have to be dark to attract the attention of Jinyiwei.
Who knows, just an hour after getting people back, the Jinyi guard began to block the city gate. At the same time, there is a big hunt in the city! If you pick up Zhao Shizhen later, this operation is likely to steal chickens and rice.
"I inquired about it, and it turned out that Zhao Shizhen's eldest brother Zhao Shixiang and Jin Yiwei both commanded Luo Yang's sexual relationship. Zhao Shixiang directly found Luo Yangxing, and with Luo's dog nose, it was strange not to smell anything wrong here. Xie Youcai was also a little depressed, a perfect kidnapping operation. Now the person is tied, but he can't transport it out by smashing his hands. What can I do? You can't just keep it like that.
This is the capital, the nest of Jinyiwei, once the news leaks, it is a great thing. Not only Xie Youcai and Chen Fu will be wiped out, but even Li Xiao will be affected.
The great crime of collaborating with the enemy, no matter how big Li Xiao's head is, can't afford it.
"It's true that we have to get people away quickly, and in our hands, we're afraid of death. Second, I am afraid that Jinyiwei will check it, and God knows if there is an inside line of Jinyiwei among our guys. Old Chen Fu was a little anxious, where is this Zhao Shizhen a hot potato in his hand. It's a fucking grenade that's lit and will explode at any moment.
"Old Chen, I don't think it's as good as ...... That's ......! Xie Youcai's eyes rolled and he thought about it.
In the past three days, Luo Yangxing has been in a hurry in the public office. He knows the importance of Zhao Shizhen, but Jinyiwei's face is even more important. Now that the news has spread in the capital, the steward who will be the prisoner was actually tied up by the Houjin Tartars in the capital. The high-ranking officials of the imperial court were all in danger, and some timid guards increased by dozens of people. Every time I go out on the street, I am followed by a group of people with bright armor.
Rumors are like the wind, and there are various versions of them. Some people also said that Houjin sent some killer organization. As long as he speaks ill of Houjin in the court during the day, there will be killers who kill people at home.
In the face of various rumors, people's hearts are even more turbulent. Although the security of the capital is under the control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Jinyiwei is responsible for this kind of infiltration of foreign spies. Luo Yang felt Alexander, and if he delayed for two more days, it was estimated that the emperor would talk to him. According to the temperament of this Emperor Chongzhen, what awaits Luo Yangxing is likely to be a scolding. If you don't get it right, it's possible to move to prison.
**************************************************
"Yo! This is not Xie Ye, what are you doing in such a big battle? Chen Fu was about to leave the city with a convoy, but was stopped by the captain of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. At the city gate behind the captain, there were three guys wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, looking at Chen Fu and his party with fierce eyes.
"Oh, go talk about business. Guerrilla Zhang, you haven't been to Donglaishun for a few days. When my brother comes back, he will definitely treat you to a big meal. The mutton of our Donglaishun is an authentic Mongolian lamb. Xie Youcai, who was standing beside Chen Fu, greeted the lieutenant.
Today's Xie Youcai is also the number one person in the capital, with a wide range of people and many acquaintances. This guerrilla Zhang must be the main general in charge of Deshengmen.
"Well said! Say! Zhang Guerrilla looked at a long and dozens of big cars and made difficulties, this Xie Youcai has no less filial piety on weekdays. I also helped him do things, and now he has to check Deshengmen, and some of his faces can't get up and down.
But behind him was Jin Yiwei, and now these guys are like mad dogs, and they want to bite twice when they see the big tree.
"Shopkeeper Xie, I'm really sorry. There is an order from above, and all vehicles must be checked. Or would you let us check it out? Glancing at the Jinyi guard behind him, Zhang Guerrilla arched his hand at Xie Youcai.
"Brother Zhang, you see that everything on this big cart is tied. They are all gifts for the Mongolian chiefs, and you know that our Donglaishun sells lambs outside the mouth of Mongolia. If you don't have a good relationship with the Mongols, you can't get good mutton and smash the signboard. Besides, it's so late, and it's too late to load the car. Look ......! Xie Youcai looked at the cart tied like zongzi, and was a little embarrassed.
The road has been bumpy in these years, and all goods need to be bundled and sturdy. If you tie so many ropes, if you open them and tie them up, it's a system project. It's definitely not something that can be done in an hour or two.
"This ......! Okay, then you don't need to dismantle it, but my soldiers need to check it too. "Inspections are definitely meant to be checked, but they don't necessarily have to be opened. Otherwise, Deshengmen has to enter and exit so many vehicles all day and night, and one by one the checks must not exhaust people to death.
"Check! That's fine, guys, get out of the way for the officials. Xie Youcai shouted, and the guys immediately dodged the road.
The carts were inspected one by one, and the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies kept poking into the cars with one-foot-long steel needles.
"I said guerrilla, there is cloth and silk in the gift, you are a little unfriendly to do this." Seeing the soldiers holding steel needles and poking continuously, Xie Youcai frowned.
"Deal with it, look at the ...... over there! See? Flying fish clothes embroidered spring knife, brocade clothes. Can't afford to mess with it! ”
"What's wrong, how can this be?"
"You don't know! Something is wrong, the Tartars have come to the capital. tied up a person who would be a supervisor to make firearms, and now Jinyiwei is looking for someone like crazy. ”
"Then you can't poke like that! Whoever follows our brothers, I'll have someone send a big front door to your house when I turn around. You don't have to check it like this! ”
"That's pretty much it, alright! All right! Release. "Guerrilla Zhang is just to deal with errands, and when he heard Xie Youcai say this, he immediately waved his hand to let his soldiers let him go.
"Wait! Unloading check! A cold voice came from behind Zhang Guji.
