Wing Lok Street,

At the beginning of the day,

If you really want to count this hour, it has just dawned, and the sky is still a little dark, but now the Yongle Long Street, which is nearly ten miles away, is indeed brightly lit.

With the help of the fierce fire oil that Xie Wenyuan added before, the fire was even more unstoppable, and nearly half of Yongle Street was already in flames.

At the end of the remaining half of the long street, it was blocked by soldiers in bright armor, and the adjacent streets, or ordinary alleys, were also garrisoned.

"Lord Luo, before the lower officials took people to Xie Mansion, seven or eight hundred elite horsemen had already been sent here to come here, plus those peripheral Praetorian Guards, I think none of these remnants escaped."

Ding Xiu came to Luo Congee and bowed down to report, as Luo Congee expected, those rebellious ministers and thieves were not stupid enough to come to Luo's Mansion with those dead soldiers to attack and kill themselves, and basically stayed in their own mansions in peace.

Let's not say that they will only cause trouble if they go together, even if the matter is really done in the end, they need to be able to get by when they ask His Majesty for their guilt, at least have an alibi, so that they can give His Majesty a step, not in the name of rebellion, punish their nine clans, and protect their families.

"Well, it's done well, so it seems that the word "temporary" in front of your Nanzhen Fu envoy can be removed soon. ”

Luo Congee nodded with satisfaction.

Looking out from the horseback, there were no less than a thousand people standing on the long street away from the fire, most of them were the families of the convicts, who had to be blocked on the long street because their mansions were burned, and now they were all looking at the soldiers around with anxiety.

The rest of the people who were not affected by the fire for the time being were hiding in the house, but they could still see the apprehension in their hearts, and from time to time a pair of eyes poked out from the crack in the door or the courtyard wall to watch the situation outside.

"Lord Luo......"

Ding Xiu looked at the long street and stopped talking.

"Something to talk about."

"My lord, although most of this place is the mansion of those rebellious ministers and thieves of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, but there are still some of the mansions of officials who have not participated in this matter are also on this Yongle Long Street, and the current situation is so chaotic, if you really want to make a move, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish."

Ding Xiu said with a worried face.

"Take the map of Beijing."

Luo Congee didn't answer Ding Xiu when he heard it,

Instead, he thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice.

"Lord Luo, please."

Not long after the words fell, standing silently behind him, Wang Ruling heard the voice, and found a picture so quickly from nowhere, and held it in front of Luo Congee.

"Lord Luo, please see,"

"That's where Yongle Street is in the middle of the city."

Wang Ruling opened the map, and soon pointed to the location of an extremely wide and long street above, as the only remaining old man in Jinyiwei, he had not been less involved in the city before, and he naturally knew the layout of the capital well.

Luo Congee looked at the map in Wang Ruling's hand and was slightly stunned, there was no shoddy ancient map as imagined, but it was extremely fine.

Even the topography of the mountains and rivers outside the city, the direction of the river are clearly marked, and the layout of each street in the capital is even more detailed, even a random unknown alley can also be found on the top, but the layout of the palace in the imperial city is skipped, and it seems that it is also from the handwriting of Jinyiwei.

"Are most of them officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry?"

Luo Congee looked at the various mansions marked on the map and groaned, he already had a plan in his heart, it was not difficult to find out the heels of the thieves who besieged him before, after all, so many people acted together, there are always traces to follow.

But if you want to subdivide it into various mansions, it is indeed too troublesome, and it is not a day's work, but the current situation can only be quickly cut through the chaos.

"Bring a pen."

After thinking for a while, Luo Congee drew two circles, one large and one small, on the map, the inner circle surrounded Yongle Street with red ink made of cinnabar, and the outer circle was drawn with black ink, which directly included the entire Yongle Long Street and several nearby streets.

"Let's take a look, too."

After Luo Congee finished drawing, he handed out the map.

"Lord Luo, what do you mean?"

Ding Xiu also came up at this moment, looking at the two circles on the map, one large and one small, a little unclear.

"Within the black circle, all of them will be sent to Zhaojiao!"

"Check them one by one, and no one will be missed!"

Luo Congee said in a deep voice.

"And the red circle?"

Ding Xiu had already guessed something,

There was a slight cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Within the red circle, there is no forgiveness for killing!"

Luo Congee said coldly,

"My lord, this ......"

Ding Xiu said with a sad face.

"If it is calculated according to the fortune of the imperial court, if you want to be an official in the court for a hundred years, it is not enough for them to buy such a spacious house in the area of Yongle Street."

"I don't know why they were able to enjoy the food of the bell and the people without asking about the people's suffering, and I don't know where the money in their pockets came from for such extravagance, and I don't know how many of them participated in the siege and killing of me."

"However, this official knows that as long as the knife falls,"

"None of them are wronged!"

Luo Congee looked at Yongle Changjie and said loudly.

"Ding Xiu, listen to orders!"

"This official ordered you to lead the troops to kill the remnants of the rebellious party!"

"Whoever is an official must be punished with his own hands!"

Luo Congee didn't give Ding Xiu a chance to continue to speak, and directly ordered, the scattered luck of the rest of the family members was still not eye-catching, but many of those officials, big and small, were in important positions, and none of them could be left behind.

……

"After today, I think other people should also weigh the consequences of provoking this official."

Luo Congee quietly looked at the panicked fleeing crowd on Yongle Long Street, watched the long knife continue to wave, watched the heads keep falling, and looked at the smelly blood that kept flowing out of the drainage canal, and his mood did not fluctuate too much.

I don't know if it's the numbness of the nerves after killing too many people, or whether it's a cold-hearted person, or a murderous embryo.

Two hours later,

"Wang Tongzhi, where is it?"

Luo Congee didn't have much interest when he heard the more sporadic system prompts in his ears, and turned his mouth to call Wang Ruling, who was waiting on the side.

"Lord Luo, you speak!"

Wang Ruling bowed and said.

"How many people live in this Yongle Fang?"

Luo Congee spread out the map in his hand and looked at the huge Shangjing City and asked, In the Shangjing City, there are twelve main streets running through the north and south, and fourteen main streets running through the east and west, and there are countless alleys and short streets, which are divided into one hundred and twenty-eight squares according to the region, which is a few points larger than the Chang'an in the previous life.

"Hui Yu, Yongle Fang is already prosperous, and its population is among the top three in Beijing, with more than 36,000 registered households, and the people are afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people."

Wang Ruling said in detail,

"More than 100,000 people ......"

Luo Congee repeated,

Fingers on his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You go and inform that Shangjing Fuyi."

Luo Congee put down his fingers, and then groaned.

"According to the investigation of this official, Yongle Fang is a nest of anti-thieves, the atmosphere is corrupt, the people are not pure, and it is easy to change. No large-scale construction and construction of high-rise buildings; No new roads shall be opened, and roads shall be widened......"

"Only the anti-thief's comrades will refuse the official's proposal, and I think that Lu Fuyi, who has always been loyal, must be deeply heartbroken by the anti-thief......"

"My lord, I'm afraid this is ......"

Wang Ruling wiped the cold sweat on her forehead when she heard the voice, and then stopped, after all, it is related to the future livelihood of more than 100,000 people and the prospects of the local area.

"Wang Tongzhi, you might as well think carefully about how many of the people who can live in the top few Yongle Fang in Kyoto are ordinary people?"

"Maybe there are a few poor people in this Yongle Fang, but for them, it is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"As for the rest of the merchants, wealthy households, or officials, they have lived here for a long time, and they are real snakes, can't they see the slightest clue about that ambush?"

"If you don't report it, you have to pay a little price, right?"

"Wang Tongzhi, what do you say?"

Luo Congee asked coldly.

Wang Ruling heard the sweat raining down and said no more.

"And ......"

"Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the guard house to pick a thousand households with a real heart, and set up a long-term station in this Yongle Fang, in the name of searching for the remnants of the anti-thief party, and lead people to check the various Goolan tile houses, wine shops, and shops in the fang three times a day......

"In addition,"

"Then pick out one hundred and ten fierce-looking people from the guard, and garrison them at all entrances in the workshop with knives, and all those who enter and leave, regardless of official position or identity, must be registered one by one!"

"Lower Officer, take the order!"

After Wang Ruling heard the trembling sound and bowed, he couldn't wait to turn over his horse and gallop towards the Yamen of Shangjing Mansion, and only after he was a little farther away from the young man did he take a breath.
