The Donglin Party members who have already become famous have also "reappeared", because some people's sons and nephews have been exiled, and some protégés have been removed, and they have come forward to accuse Gao Di of arbitrarily enforcing the law.

Not only Jiangnan, but also officials from the four northern provinces also wrote to Chongzhen, asking Chongzhen to pardon the scholars and give them the opportunity to serve the imperial court.

Chongzhen watched coldly, he wanted to see how many people still wanted to resist the new deal, and he wanted to see how much energy the Donglin Party still had.

Gao Di saw that everyone's spearhead was aimed at him, and he was originally terrified, but seeing that Chongzhen did not mention his sins, he finally put his mind at ease and devoted himself to work energetically.

Because, Jin Yiwei had already detected that Yuan Chengzhi, who had been stopped for a long time, finally took advantage of the chaos to leave Yangzhou City and went to a small village called Zhangjialou.

Yuan Chengzhi no longer has any relatives, and his hometown is not in Yangzhou, so there is no reason to go to a remote village. A place where he dared to go while he was in chaos must be an unspeakable secret place.

Gao Di didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen smiled, "Do as planned."

Gaudi understood and quickly attacked, besieging the village overnight.

Inside the village.

"Yuan Chengzhi! Are you the officers and soldiers you have brought in?" Someone asked.

"How so!" Yuan Chengzhi was anxious, "I have received the great favor of King Chuang, how can I betray my brothers?"

It turned out that this was a remnant of Li Zicheng, hidden in Jiangnan for a long time.

When Li Yan was there, they were responsible for raising gold and silver for the intrusive army and detecting intelligence, but later after Li Zicheng retreated and Li Yan disappeared, they lost their command and went into hiding temporarily.

This time, Chongzhen went south to Yangzhou, and they seized the opportunity to send Yuan Chengzhi to blend into the crowd of Yangzhou officials, pretending to be a civilian official who had already surrendered to the army, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate.

I don't want Yuan Chengzhi to be assassinated and lose his whereabouts.

Yesterday, he came back safely, and everyone was happy, but Yuan Chengzhi was depressed, and only said that he was disheartened and wanted to take everyone out to sea to live in seclusion.

The crowd only thought that he had failed in his assassination and had lost his fighting spirit, and they all spoke out to comfort him.

I don't want Yuan Chengzhi to explain before he opens his mouth, Jinyiwei has already surrounded the village.

"You didn't betray your brother, where did you get the brocade guard from outside?"

"Have you surrendered, and you don't want to sacrifice your brothers, so you're here to persuade us to go to sea?"

Yuan Chengzhi was speechless, and wanted to go out and fight to the death with the Ming army to prove his innocence.

Unexpectedly, the people who broke into the camp did not allow it, and quickly took him down and locked him in the firewood room.

"Brothers, the Jinyi Guards are not ordinary people, and now that they are surrounded by us, they naturally will not leave a way out! We can't sit still!"

"Yes! King Chuang is dead, the army is dead, how can we steal life, now that we have reached the moment of death, it is better to rush out and fight to the death!"

"Yes, fight to the death!"

More than 20 people are Li Zicheng's diehards, and they have already sold one of their lives to King Chuang, and at this time, they all have the heart of death and kill Jinyiwei.

Gao Di came to the front line in person, wanting to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't want the people in the village to rush out with knives, and shook his head and said, "I don't know whether I live or die. Fire, not one left!"

Today's Jinyi guards are equipped with rifles, and the number of people has an absolute advantage, nearly 100 people opened fire, and more than 20 people who broke into the camp were beaten into a sieve as soon as they left the village.

Jinyiwei killed all the enemies, broke into the village, and found Yuan Chengzhi in the firewood house.

"Virtuous nephew, I am an old friend of your father, and now you are not allowed to break into the camp, it is better to put yourself under my account and serve the court, and it will not be in vain for you to use your martial arts." Gao Di fell in love with Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts.

Yuan Chengzhi looked at his brother who died outside the village, silent.

Dejected, he stepped forward and closed the corpse's eyes.

Gao Di didn't stop him, and waited quietly for him to change his mind.

Yuan Chengzhi is only 17 years old, growing up in the idea of revenge, and now his faith has collapsed, and he has long had the will to die, just to take his brothers to the sea to live in seclusion, away from this complicated world, only to return to this stronghold.

I don't want to, because of my own mistakes, I killed all my brothers, and I have no face to live in the world again

。

He picked up the steel knife on the ground and slit his throat without hesitation.

Gao Di didn't have time to stop it, sighed slightly, and said loudly: "According to the emperor's will, the news came out that Yuan Chengzhi abandoned the secret and turned to the light, led the Jinyi Guard to exterminate the traitors, and unfortunately died! It's a hero! Yuan Chonghuan's good son! Justify the name of the Yuan family!"

……

Just when Gao Di returned to Yangzhou with the spoils of war, Chongzhen took the secret music of Dongchang and Jianlong Jun, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.

He looked at the song as high as a hill on the dragon case and sighed.

Some of them were involved in his corruption and bribery, some of them were involved in his rough law enforcement, some of them were involved in his personal vendetta, and some of them were involved in his ...... There are so many that there are nearly 100 charges.

Gao Di naturally would not sit idly by, scattered all the Jinyi guards, and frantically arrested the Donglin Party members on the charge of stirring up the people's rebellion.

In three days, more than 200 people were arrested and exiled, and the vitality of the Donglin Party was greatly damaged.

However, the hatred of Gao Di in the whole Jiangnan rose to the peak, and someone went to Gao Di's residence to insult him, Gao Di sneered, arrested the person casually, gave a crime at will, and threw him into prison.

Gaodi's revenge for personal vendettas, extortion of money and greed for ink, Chongzhen knew about it.

I haven't dealt with Gaodi yet, just because it's not time yet.

Now, the world's officials, criminal officials, scholars, and businessmen have all pointed the finger at Gao Di, and they are all full of anger to Gao Di, Chongzhen knows that the time has come.

Someone has to bear the turmoil and anger caused by the implementation of the New Deal, right?

……

One day, Gao Di received a summons from Chongzhen and went to the palace in a hurry.

The two of them talked for a long time about the recent situation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After chatting about business, Chongzhen suddenly asked, "Gao Di, do you know this person?"

Gao Di turned his head strangely and looked at Chongzhen's fingers, and when he saw it, he was suddenly frightened.

This man was none other than his cronies, the person in charge of transporting the silver back to his hometown.

At this time, he was wearing the official uniform of Wei Qianhu in brocade clothes and was standing not far away.

"Minister, I don't know him!"

Gao Di knew that the matter was exposed, but he was still stubborn, reacted quickly, and immediately denied it.

Chongzhen smiled, "Dai Dongrui, you tell Gao Di, who are you?"

Dai Dongrui replied: "Gao Ge Lao, the younger one is your most trusted personal guard, and you are your most powerful assistant in the brocade guard, and at the same time, the little one is also a member of the emperor's dragon army, and he is ordered by the emperor to protect your safety!"

The corners of Gao Di's mouth twitched, "What is the Dragon Army? And keep me safe?"

"If you are dedicated to the court and the emperor, the little one will always be your most loyal personal guard! But since you were corrupt and didn't know how to restrain yourself, Xiao naturally regained the identity of the Dragon Army!"

Chongzhen looked at Gao Di, whose face was pale, and said slowly, "Dongrui, tell me about Gao Di's political achievements in the past six months!"
