As soon as the day dawned, Xie Shangzheng rushed to Yang Yingqian's house with a happy face, and shouted in the courtyard before he saw anyone.

"My lord, Baogai Mountain has been taken down!"

Yang Yingqian also didn't sleep all night, after all, this was the first battle of the Yongning Wei New Army, whether his training methods were useful or not, after this crackdown on bandits, there would be an answer.

At this time, Yang Yingqian was like a student before the college entrance examination, although he was fully prepared, he was still a little nervous in his heart, until he heard Xie Shangzheng's shout in the courtyard, Yang Yingqian's slightly hanging heart could be regarded as falling.

Yang Yingqian walked to the courtyard just in time to meet Xie Shangzheng, Xie Shangzheng arched his hand at Yang Yingqian with a smile on his face: "My lord, our Yongningwei is in the limelight this time, more than 200 bandits in Baogai Mountain strangled more than 100 people on the spot, and captured more than 40 alive, including the leader Mao 18 and more than a dozen Japanese ronins. ”

Hearing this achievement, Yang Yingqian nodded with satisfaction.

"This encirclement and suppression can be regarded as a quick profit, and the battle ended in only half an hour, and only a dozen of our troops were wounded, and no one was killed in battle."

Speaking of which, Xie Shangzheng not only admires Yang Yingqian from the bottom of his heart, but in fact, if you talk about fighting alone, I am afraid that few of Yongningwei's new army can face these bandits. But this queue was lined up, the shields were tightly sealed, no matter how brave this group of bandits were, they could not break through the defense line, and the last one was killed by the spears in the hands of the Yongning army.

In addition to being overjoyed, Xie Shangzheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and then took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Yang Yingqian.

"This is a handwritten letter written by Wen Chengjun from the bandit leader Mao Eighteen, in addition, Anlan sent someone to send the news just now, and Quanzhou has already succeeded, he asked Dayong to take a team of people to take care of the goods, and he personally led a hundred households to Quanzhou Wen's house to monitor."

Yang Yingqian opened the envelope and glanced at it a few times, but it was Wen Chengjun's handwritten letter, and Yang Yingqian flicked the thin two-page letter paper with his fingers a few times.

"We did so many actions in one night, it's rude not to tell people, let's go, go to the Wen family........"

Quanzhou Wen family.

Wen Yingju was pacing back and forth in the front hall at this time, I don't know what was going on, he began to be restless for no reason since last night, and decades of experience in fighting in the rivers and lakes told him that something might go wrong.

At this time, Wen Chengjun walked in from outside with a gloomy face.

"Dad, I'm afraid something happened, yesterday I asked Wen Fu to go to Baogai Mountain to deliver the news to Mao Shiba, but it's been almost two days, and Wen Fu hasn't come back yet."

Wen Yingju heard this and had an ominous premonition in his heart, Quanzhou is not far from Baogai Mountain, Wen Fu is his confidant, he has always been responsible for the contact with Mao Eighteen, and he can call back and forth in half a day at most before the message, this time it is indeed a little unusual.

"And ......"

Wen Chengjun hesitated for a moment.

"Since this morning, I have noticed that there are many unfamiliar faces around our house, as if they are coming for us."

Wen Yingju's face became more and more ugly, if it was just Wen Fu missing, there might be something else that caused him to not be able to come back on time, but if a stranger was watching near his house, he couldn't wait to ignore it, which meant that someone was eyeing him.

In Quanzhou, the only one who can fight the Wen family is the Zhou family, but after the Lingyuan Mountain, the Zhou family has been greatly injured, and now it is a mess, it is impossible to slow down so quickly to find revenge, and they have no evidence.

If it is not a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, then it can only be the power of the government, thinking of this, Wen Yingju's mind suddenly appeared that the Yongning guard officer who had come to the Wen family a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Wen Yingju hurriedly walked to the study and took out a letter from the dark compartment on the wall, since the incident in Lingyuan Mountain, he had expected that there would be today.

Wen Yingju summoned a close confidant and handed him the letter.

"You immediately change into the clothes of a miscellaneous servant, take this letter to Nanjing, and send it to Lord Wen Tiren by hand!"

"Dad, what now?" Seeing Wen Yingju as if he was facing a great enemy, Wen Chengjun couldn't help but be a little flustered, he was originally a second ancestor who relied on his father's power to run rampant, and now his father seemed to be a little ineffective, so he panicked.

Seeing Wen Chengjun's six gods and no owner, Wen Yingju snorted heavily: "Now that I know that I am afraid, why didn't you see you afraid when you sent someone to intercept and kill the Zhou family's caravan?" ”

At this moment, a nurse ran in in a panic and almost crashed into Wen Yingju's body.

"Panic what!" Wen Ying said sharply.

"Master, no, a large group of officers and soldiers have broken in!"

Wen Yingju couldn't help but secretly say so quickly, and immediately turned his head and shouted at the cronie who was holding the secret letter: "Hurry up and change your clothes and go from the backyard, be sure to send the secret letter to Nanjing." ”

Not long after the family member ran out of the front hall, a team of officers and soldiers of Yongningwei rushed into the hall, and Yang Yingqian walked in with a cold face.

Wen Yingju was a heroic man who was not shocked at every turn, and stepped forward to rush to Yang Yingqian and arched his hand: "I don't know that the adults are coming, and the old decay is far away, please forgive me!" ”

Yang Yingqian smiled: "Hasn't Old Man Wen always been thinking about this official, this official is here uninvited!" ”

"Where did you start with that?"

"Wen Yingju, the matter of you sending people to attack and kill the Zhou family's caravan has been revealed, and this time I am here to get you!" Xie Shangzheng interrupted Wen Yingju's words and reprimanded angrily.

It's just that Wen Yingju seems to have been prepared for a long time, and when he heard this, he turned around and sat back on the Taishi chair in the main hall and took a sip of the teacup.

"This lord looks a little surprised, my Wen family is a businessman who abides by the laws of the imperial court, although there has always been some friction with the Zhou family, but it is far from the point of buying murder to kill them, and even if the old man commits a crime, it seems that it should also be under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Mansion, right?"

Wen Yingju looked at the people in front of him with a smile, looking like he was in his chest.

Yang Yingqian smiled again.

"You naturally have no right to govern the murder guard, but if your Wen family dares to privately accumulate arms, collude with the Japanese and kill my good businessmen, this official will bring you to justice!"

Hearing this, Wen Yingju's face had changed greatly, and he had long lost his calmness just now.

"What kind of private armed forces collude with the Japanese bandits? If there is no evidence, please don't spew blood, although my Wen family is a businessman, but I am not at the mercy of others! ”

Yang Yingqian smiled coldly: "If you are wronged, you will know if you are wronged by me!" With a casual look, two wolf-like officers and soldiers immediately jumped out behind him, tied Wen Yingju's hands behind his back, and tied them with hemp rope to tie them firmly.

And Wen Chengjun was already frightened on the spot before Yang Yingqian brought people in, and when the officers and soldiers of Yongningwei stepped forward to tie him up, Wen Chengjun was already paralyzed like mud, and was finally carried out alive by two officers and soldiers.

Just when the Yongning army escorted the Wen family father and son and a group of family guards out of the courtyard, a small red sedan chair was carried by four sedan chair drivers in front of Yang Yingqian and others, and the sedan chair was followed by more than a dozen officials carrying water and fire sticks.

A middle-aged man dressed in a crimson official mansion lifted the sedan curtain and walked out of the sedan chair, and the patch of the middle-aged man's official uniform was embroidered with the cloud goose that had been lifelike.

The Wen family has been able to flourish in Quanzhou for so many years, in addition to the support of Wen Tiren, officials of all sizes in Quanzhou often receive filial piety from the Wen family every year, and the one who takes the most is naturally the prefect Yao Yigui.

This Yao Yigui has not received much benefits from the Wen family since he was appointed as the prefect of Quanzhou, coupled with Wen Tiren's relationship, Yao Yigui has taken care of the Wen family even more, so as soon as the Wen family was surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers, the Yao prefect immediately rushed over like a burning ass.

"Yao Yigui, the prefect of Quanzhou, I don't know which one is your Shangguan?"

Because the Wei Institute usually has little contact with the local state capital, Yang Yingqian came to the Wen family not long after taking office, and he did not wear official clothes this time, so Yao Yigui asked this question.

Xie Shangzheng took a step forward and said: "This official is Xie Shangzheng, the commander of Yongningwei, and this is our fellow acquaintance, Lord Yang!" ”

Before Yao Yigui met, this young man was Yongningwei's commander Tongzhi, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he quickly recovered his nature.

The prefect is a civil official of the fourth grade, and the commander of the same knowledge is from the third grade, and Yang Yingqian is half a level higher than Yao Yigui in terms of official position, but at this time, the civil and military officials of the sixth and seventh grades in the Beijing division often dare to point fingers at the senior military attachés of the second and third grades, although there is no such excesses in the locality, but Yao Yigui only made a polite gesture to Yang Yingqian.

"I don't know why Lord Yang brought so many soldiers into the palace city, and did this move pass to the governor's yamen?" The first sentence of Yao Yigui was aggressive.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to prevent the excessive concentration of local power and the division of feudal towns, ruled that the judicial, civil and military rights of the local provinces were exercised by the Inspectorate Division, the Chengxuan Political Division, and the Metropolitan Command Envoy Division as checks and balances.

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the plague and border troubles were serious, in order to be able to concentrate the forces of the provinces to eliminate the bandits, they set up governors in each province, and uniformly dispatched the military and civilian affairs of the provinces, but all large-scale troop movements in the province must be approved by the governor's yamen.

Seeing that Yao Yigui used the governor's yamen to pressure himself, Yang Yingqian immediately smiled slightly: "The military situation is urgent, in order to prevent the thieves from escaping, I didn't have time to report to the governor, but before the official came, he had already reported to the commander Cao, and Lord Cao had also reported the matter to the commander." ”

"Thieves?" Hearing this word, Yao Yigui's triangular eyes instantly widened.

"Lord Yang, I'm afraid it's not a mistake, right? Master Wen is a well-known benevolent person in our Quanzhou Mansion, and he has to fund the poor township every year, how can he violate the royal law, and Lord Yang has evidence? ”

Seeing that Yao Yigui made it clear that he wanted to protect Wen Yingju, Yang Yingqian was no longer verbose, and then sneered: "Lord Yao, the matter involves military secrets, and with your rank, I am afraid it is inconvenient to know!" ”

Seeing Yang Yingqian's contempt for himself, Yao Yigui's face couldn't help but turn red instantly.

"Lord Yang, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, you can't take the Wen family's people away!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Yang Yingqian snorted in displeasure, and there was an instant sound of a steel knife coming out of its sheath behind him, and Yao Yigui instantly felt countless murderous eyes shooting at him........
