Before going to the banquet, Wang Chengen had secretly reported Jiang Hao's determination to Chongzhen anyway, and today was just in time for the change of defense in the city, and Jiang Hao took over the garrison in the city. As soon as Chongzhen summed up, he instructed Wang Chengen to inform Jiang Hao to do it tonight, and come to Fenglin Pavilion to see him as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, Zhang Ke and the others also took advantage of the change of air raid gap, thinking about relaxing and relaxing, so they accepted Song Xiancai's invitation.

Even if his identity is not exposed, the two of them will inevitably die tonight.

Looking at Ke Zhang's head, who was still majestic, Chongzhen instructed Jiang Xuan: "The first evil is punished, and all evils will disappear by themselves." Except for those who coerce evil slaves and those who resist stubbornly, those who are willing to surrender will not be blamed for the past. After taking control of the city, he immediately set out to pacify the people in the city, maintain law and order, and take advantage of the chaos to do evil. ”

Jiang Hao obeyed the order and set off, although the four gates and four corners of Datong Mansion City were all under control, there were still many thieves scattered in the city, and the situation was undecided. Before leaving, Jiang Hao left his henchmen and soldiers to protect Chongzhen, and the general name of the soldiers was Chen Zhuo, who was not very old, had a round face, and looked honest.

After Li Zicheng occupied Shanxi, he immediately went east to conquer the Beijing division without stopping, coupled with the recovery of stolen goods and salaries, which led to the desertion of administrative yamen in various parts of Shanxi and the flight of civil officials.

Although military affairs are heavy, government affairs must not be left behind, and the current Datong Mansion is empty, and government affairs are all managed by Ke Tianxiang's camp, which seems to be a mess.

Once the whole body was mobilized, sorting out the civil affairs, restoring the yamen, encircling the gentry, checking the armaments, and raising food and salary as the top priorities, one by one smashed in Chongzhen's heart.

Just as Chongzhen was about to go out to the mansion, Chen Zhuo asked what to do with the person in the corner.

But he forgot about Song Xiancai, Chongzhen saw him kneeling in the corner, like an ostrich, and couldn't help laughing: "Butler Song, are you asleep?" ”

"Ah, not asleep, General Gu, no, hooray... This one... This one. ”

The scene where the deputy monarch and the minister played the right role was seen by Song Xiancai, and no matter how stupid people were, they could understand it.

Who is Jiang Hao? Datong General Soldiers! He shouted His Majesty again, called himself a criminal minister, and killed Ke and Zhang? Who else could this uncle be next to him? In the past, when I encountered something, Song Xiance was my brother who could solve it, but now this ......

Time was pressing, Chongzhen no longer continued to tease him, and ordered Chen Zhuo to bring Song Xiancai with him, this person has a very secret personal relationship with the rich and noble in the city on weekdays, and it may be useful to knock and beat.

On the east side of Datong Mansion City, outside the Ying'en Gate.

There was a battalion of about 3,000 soldiers, and after quickly crossing the Yuhe River by bridge, many civilians with their families and mouths appeared one after another, following the footsteps of the battalion soldiers to cross the river.

When the defenders of the city saw the comer, they immediately ordered their men to lower the drawbridge and let them enter the city.

The person who came was Jiang Xuan's brother, Jiang Xuan, the deputy chief soldier of Yanggao. After receiving his brother's secret order, he killed the general Yanggao soldiers left by the Shun army to supervise him, and immediately led his subordinates to support.

Jiang Xuan is different from his brother, when Jiang Xuan wanted to open the city to surrender the thieves, he broke with Jiang Xuan because of disagreement, and the three generations of the Jiang family will be the gate, and An can surrender to a thief? After the quarrel, he had to lead the troops to fight, but he was knocked unconscious by Jiang Hao and tied up at home, which saved his life. After that, Jiang Xuan was disheartened and led the deputy commander of Yanggao to leave, and the two brothers broke off.

Jiang Xuan immediately outside the city, and the depression and happiness of the past were swept away, "I can't imagine that Long Live Lord is in Datong!" This time the king of diligence is my luck! ”。

"Hurry up!" Jiang Xuan instructed his deputy to stay to urge the soldiers and civilians to enter the city, while he hurried into the city to find his brother, he had a very important military situation to report.

At the entrance of the Datong Mansion, there is an old man wearing a green coat inside and a red vest outside, sitting on a stool with his back against the door, his head down and his mouth "humming" and snoring.

"Get up!"

A shout startled the old man's stool and fell to the ground.

The old man rubbed his ass and said, "Yay? Ball Momentum! What are you calling? ”

Chen Zhuo saw that a little soap official dared to fight back, and he was about to fight, and the old man quickly raised his hand to block his face.

"Chen Zhuo, it's okay."

When Chen Zhuo heard this, he hurriedly agreed, stepped aside, and glared at the soap official on the ground.

Chongzhen walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, did you hurt from the fall?" Is it convenient to stand and talk? ”

The old man groaned softly, but he didn't get up, alas, I just won't give you this face today, old man.

In other words, even if it is the lowest-level servant of the county government, when he sees the soldiers in armor and blades outside the door, he also knows that the identity of the person who comes is not ordinary, but the old man is different.

Chongzhen was not angry, but felt that the old man in front of him was quite cute, and personally helped the old man up from the ground, and patted the old man on his back at the end.

The old man glanced at Chen Zhuo proudly, as if to say, "What's the matter?" Cut me. ”

Chen Zhuo was half angry, but he couldn't bear it, as long as the Long Live Lord ordered, he immediately cut down this lowly servant who didn't know Mount Tai with a knife.

Chongzhen is so approachable, the old man is not good at spilling anymore, and asked: "At night, what is the matter with the nobles coming to the mansion?" ”

"Is there anyone else in the yazhong?" Chongzhen asked.

"It's already over, and I'm the old man here."

Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, and walked straight to the ya, "Chen Zhuo, check the official treasury, and send all the government records and archives to the main hall by classification, and I will review them personally." ”

"Yes!"

"Hey, hey, this is the government office, what are you doing, why do you go in casually?" The old man shouted.

Chen Zhuo drew his knife and glared at the old man, and the killing intent had appeared. The old man saw that this military household was not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly chased after the nobleman.

.......

Chongzhen sat in the main hall, carefully reviewing the case on the table, and from time to time outside the door there were soldiers holding new cases inside, and the old man stood aside to hold the lamp for him.

The old man guarded the lamp and thought, God willing, this new official seems to be a clean official.

Chongzhen was seeing the content of Datong's tax, so he remembered something, called Song Xiancai, who was standing outside the door, in, and said, "How many do you know the gentry in Datong City?" ”

Song Xiance trembled, his soul was still in Fenglin Pavilion, and it took a while to react and replied: "Villain, uh, I know everything." ”

"Okay, you go and summon all of them to the government to see me, but do you need soldiers to accompany you?"

"Probably not, right?" Song Xiance replied in an inquiring tone.

"To use it or not to use it?"

"No need to ....."

Chongzhen picked up the startling wood with his right hand and patted it, and the wind blew the candle flame flickering, and the old man hurriedly wrapped the flame with his hand, and did not forget to look at the people standing in the hall, look at you.

"Within half an hour, all of them will be invited, if you can't do it, you don't have to go back to the mansion, go to General Jiang."

"Villain this. Let's do it. Song Xiancai hurriedly pouted his ass and ran out of the main hall.

The old man lowered his head and asked Chongzhen, "My lord, but do you want to recover the stolen goods?" ”

Chongzhen raised his head and said, "Oh? Do the old people know this? ”

The old man hurriedly shook his head, and said with a smile: "I don't understand, but I have seen it with my own eyes, the old man, our Datong city has already chased three times of salary, and those rich people are afraid that they don't have much oil and water." ”
