"King Zheng, is it because you don't have confidence in yourself? Or do you not have faith in your children? ”

"I give the clan a broader stage."

"Isn't it better than eating and waiting to die?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled not to continue.

There was a cry in the clan.

King Zheng did not dare to speak.

King Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, can you order the clan to stay in Beijing for a while and wait for a few years......

"King Zhou."

"Why are you talking so much?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "Are you a sect order?" Or do you think that King Zhou should be the head of the clan? ”

King Zhou didn't expect the emperor to change his face when he said it, so he quickly kowtowed: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen is just worried about his bloodline brothers, and he is also thinking about His Majesty's holy name......"

"If you're worried about your bloodline brothers, won't I be worried?"

Zhu Qiyu shouted: "I see that you are old and confused!" ”

"Dispatch the order to patrol the camp and go to check the Gong family, Shi family, Ou family, Chen family, Zhang family, Han family, and Li family!"

"Look at King Zhou, it's not clean!"

King Zhou's face changed sharply.

The emperor was talking about the maternal family of his wife and concubine.

If you really want to investigate, which official in the DPRK and China is carrying such an investigation? Even if you check the Yuqian family, you can find out the.

"Please spare your life!" King Zhou kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"What life?"

"Your King Zhou is doing it straight, and he is the head of the clan, what are you afraid of?"

"As long as you don't rebel, what else can I do to you?"

"How dare you do it?"

"One by one, I say a word, you have ten thousand words waiting for me!"

"This unwillingness, that unwillingness!"

"What do you like besides listening to music?"

Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Ask yourselves, how long have you been in Beijing!" How long do you spend at Goolan Hall? ”

"Do you still use me to name them one by one?"

"I don't want you to do the right thing, if you are raised to listen to the music, you will be so happy!"

"Don't forget, the clan is an example for the subjects of the world!"

"And you, King Zhou!"

"You are not clean under your buttocks, but you help the clan get ahead everywhere!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Want to be a sect commander, want to go crazy?"

"Still have thoughts that you shouldn't have?"

King Khan of Zhou rained down and regretted coming out for the clan.

He has no sons, and what can he do if he is allowed to flood after he dies?

But he relied on his own branch and was close to the emperor.

The first Zhou King Zhu Hu, the fifth son of Emperor Taizu, was extremely close to Emperor Taizong.

Therefore, the relationship between the first line of King Zhou and the first line of Taizong is very close.

When Emperor Renxuan was the second emperor, he was extremely close to the first king of Zhou.

After Zhu Youlian succeeded to the throne of Zhou, Emperor Xuanzong often wrote to him and treated the Zhou domain unusually favorably.

Gradually, he developed the demeanor of the head of the clan and had the obligation to persuade the kings.

"Wechen definitely doesn't dare to have thoughts that shouldn't be!"

"Ask Your Majesty to learn from it!"

"Wechen is just worried about my Zhu clan!"

"Weichen is more than half a hundred years old, he still has no son, and there is no stepson, after a hundred years, the throne of Zhou is vacant, I am ashamed of my father!"

King Zhou wept and kowtowed.

What he meant was that I didn't have a son, so I certainly didn't have a mind that I shouldn't have.

"Where's King Qing? What do you think? Zhu Qiyu looked at King Qing, who was catching the tip and selling well.

King Qing trembled: "Weichen is all under His Majesty's orders!" ”

I see that you still know each other.

"Does anyone else have an opinion?"

"Speak up!"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the clan, as if to say, whoever doesn't want to live anymore, just say it!

I have perfected you!

The kings of the clan did not dare to set themselves on fire, so they quickly kowtowed.

"Decree, from today onwards, the prince will not be easily sealed, and those who have not contributed to the society cannot be crowned the prince!"

"The emperor's son was born as a prince of the county, and he can be crowned a prince only if he has made great contributions! The king of the county does not seal the fief, and can enter the military aircraft department and refer to the military aircraft in detail. ”

"The son of the county king, the eldest son inherits the throne of the county, and the rest are all named the general of the town, and the general of the town can be included in the supervision department, but the supervision cannot participate in politics."

"The son of the general of Zhenguo, the eldest son inherits the position of general of Zhenguo, and the rest are demoted to auxiliary generals, who can lead Zonglu and participate in royal business affairs, and are not allowed to engage in politics and the army."

"The son of the general of the auxiliary state, the eldest son of the eldest son inherits the general of the auxiliary state, and the rest are reduced to concubines, and the word of the family tree is withdrawn, and he can be an official or a general, participate in the imperial examination, and be a commercial farmer, without restrictions."

"Those who have made great contributions to the generals of Zhenguo and the auxiliary generals can regain the king of the county!"

"Take this as the ancestral system, the kings of future generations will obey, and those who do not listen are not my descendants!"

"Do you understand?"

Zhu Qiyu has been thinking about it for a long time.

How to tighten the authority of the clan, and then train a few talents from the clan to participate in politics and the army, and assist the emperor.

But he must not be given military power or a chance to rebel.

He wanted to unite the clan and the lords into one, and become the basic plate of the future kings, controlling the military power.

Therefore, he ordered the county king to counsel the military aircraft, ordered the general of Zhenguo to supervise the officials, and ordered the auxiliary general to engage in business, not to confer the title of prince, and also cut off the opportunity for the clan to enter the heirship.

There was an uproar in the sect.

The few remaining princes were embarrassed.

In the future, even the emperor's son will not be crowned a prince, what are they!

If you know each other, you will obediently hand over the title of prince.

If you don't know each other, then go to Zhongdu to guard the spirit.

Zhu Qiyu is not only restricting the existing clan, but also restricting the future clan.

The reason for raising the status of the prince is not to confer the title of prince.

In fact, I hope that my children and grandchildren can go overseas to expand their territory and become overseas emperors.

Therefore, he set up those who have made great contributions to be crowned princes, that is, to expand their territory overseas, which is considered a great achievement, and they will be crowned overseas princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor, only the Ming Emperor.

The relaxation of restrictions on the clan also has the meaning of checking and balancing civil officials.

However, he must ensure that he lives a long life, otherwise he will die young, and it is very likely that the heir will be the clan.

He must domesticate the clan into a dog in his lifetime, seal out those who have the ability, and stay in the center to balance the civil officials and lords.

But the clan is a knife, all surnamed Zhu, and they all have the possibility of inheriting the unification, and if they are not used well, they will hurt others and themselves.

He was also thinking about whether it was a bad move to get the clan into politics.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to give up the title of prince!"

King Jing wanted to completely hug the emperor's thigh.

He figured out that he was able to change from the king of Duliang to the king of Jing at the beginning, just by the emperor's words.

From that moment, he knew that it was useless to fight.

As long as the emperor Lao Tzu is coaxed, there will be any title.

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment.

Except for King Jing, no one spoke.

"The prince will not be sealed in the future, but it will be sealed in the present generation, and it will not change."

Zhu Qiyu is very dissatisfied with the ignorance of many princes.

I made it clear.

My son, if you don't become a prince, you are good, how can He De lick his big face and be a prince?

Are you nobler than my son?

"Your Majesty, Weichen was originally the king of Duliang, and his virtue is not worthy, when he was a prince, he sat on pins and needles every day, so please change your majesty to the title of Weichen as the king of the county."

King Jing kowtowed.

After waiting for a long time, no one stretched out their heads.

It seems that they are unwilling to be demoted to the rank of county king, even if they are unwilling to enter politics.

"Can the prince change his title at will? Retire! ”

Zhu Qiyu was also depressed in his heart, I have set up the stage, don't you come up to sing, let me speak by myself?

King Jing was surprised.

Looking back at the kings, the prince was all sad, but the prince was happy.

Because the emperor said that the prince of the county can enter the military aircraft department to participate in politics, the general of the town can enter the supervision department, and the auxiliary general can enter the business.

I have been in Beijing for so long, what the Military Aircraft Department does, everyone knows it, and it is a great thing to be able to join the Military Aircraft Department as the Minister of Military Aircraft.

The clans were beaming.

Of course, the prince was not willing.

From the most honorable prince, to the second-level county king.

Moreover, the emperor adopted a four-level feudal system.

But starting from the king of the county, it is three layers, the king of the county, the general of the town country, and the general of the auxiliary country, which are gone.

The most important thing is that the emperor does not speak of credit!

I can let you participate in politics today, and when the Ming Dynasty has no prince, the emperor will turn his face and deny people, and take back the power to make the county king participate in politics!

With Tianxian in his mouth, it all depends on his mouth!

The problem is that this mouth has no credibility yet!

How many times have the kings been deceived by him?

Still trying to lie to us?

No way!

Outside the Mukden Gate, the atmosphere stiffened.

Outside the palace.

Cao Jixiang put the kings of the Ning Domain and got rid of it.

But he received a holy decree to investigate the Zhou Domain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cao Jixiang hit his horse and came to Gong Shao's mansion.

Kick the door directly.

Gong Shao is the younger brother of Princess Zhou, who was originally a guest of honor in the Zhou Palace, and is a lifter.

Later, because his sister married into the palace as a continuation, he was named the commander of the guard.

Gong Fu opened the door.

Gong Shao appeared at the door, first smelled a stench, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and said cautiously: "Why do you have to come to the humble house?" ”

Cao Jixiang looked at him.

Although he is a military attaché, he is still dressed in a Confucian shirt, and he usually does not like to associate with military attachés, but recruits some Confucian students, reciting poems and painting in the mansion, and wandering the wreckage.

Cao Jixiang went straight to the door.

Walking to the main hall, Cao Jixiang suddenly said: "Gather your family, everyone, etc., here." ”

"My lord, what exactly are you looking for?" Gong Shao asked.

"Didn't you hear the decree?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Gong Shao nodded.

But the decree didn't say, let my family all show up, right?

Syllable!

Cao Jixiang flashed a slap: "Then don't you know what this governor wants to investigate?" Check the anti-thief! Are you a thief? ”

"Xia Guan is not!" Gong Shao was beaten.

"Then don't you hurry up and gather people!" Cao Jixiang drank vigorously.

Gong Shao rubbed his face, hurriedly sent his subordinates, and summoned all the family members.

"My lord, it's inconvenient for women to meet guests......"

Cao Jixiang glanced at him: "Is it convenient to pick up customers?" ”

Gong Shao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

Syllable!

Cao Jixiang slapped him again: "This governor doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, if you talk about it again, you will go to the patrol camp and prison!" ”

Gong Shao endured the pain and could only let people call.

Although his family is a relative of the princess, he has to be angry in Beijing.

But King Zhou is special.

After Taizong inherited the unification, he gave preferential treatment to King Zhou, and the reason was also special.

Cao Jixiang sat on a chair.

Gong Shao stood aside and didn't serve tea, which was very rude.

Fang Xing received Cao Jixiang's eyes.

walked out of the main hall, pulled out his waist knife, and directly slashed a slave: "Hurry up!" The camp governor doesn't have time to spend time with you! No matter how verbose it is, kill them all! ”

When Gong Shao saw the blood, he was shocked: "My lord, how can you kill people at will?" ”

"Murder?"

Cao Jixiang looked at him: "Did Ben Du kill someone?" Mere slaves, are they people? Do you treat them as human beings? Well? ”

Gong Shao was speechless.

Daming has no slave status, so there are a group of godsons and daughters, who change the soup but not the medicine.

"Ben Du gives you half a cup of tea, but if you don't have all the people gathered, and those who don't come will be executed!"

Cao Jixiang said coldly.

"My lord, my sister is Princess Zhou, it's just that you usually oppress the good, my Gongfu is not a place where anyone can go wild!"

Clay figurines also have three points of fire.

Gong Shao scurried.

Cao Jixiang slowly stood up: "Then do you know that the King of Jingzhou and the King of Ning have rebelled and have been ambushed!" ”

"Your Majesty ordered this governor to check on King Zhou, and Your Majesty suspects that King Zhou is involved!"

"Do you think Your Majesty's holy decree is big, or is the door of King Zhou's Mansion big?"

Poof!

Gong Shao's body softened, and he fell to the ground in fright.

He muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? ”

"Gong Shao, don't think that if you read the sage book for a few days, you will look down on the eunuch!"

"In the eyes of Bento, you are a little ant!"

"Pinch to death as much as you want!"

Eunuchs are small-minded!

You look at each other, you don't show tea, it's all a sin!

Even if Gong Shao is not guilty, in Cao Jixiang's heart, he has already drawn a cross for him.

He will die worse than Yu Xiang!

"Ask for forgiveness! The lower officials have no words and deeds, and beg the adults to spare their lives! ”

Gong Shao immediately knelt down: "Butler, hurry, hurry up and show tea to adults!" ”

"Bento doesn't like tea." Cao Jixiang didn't drink the tea on the back!

Gong Shao nodded stupidly, and really believed it.

The time was almost up, and Cao Jixiang walked out of the inner hall.

The Gong family is quite neat, and they all appear in the courtyard.

Torches blazed brightly and lit up the entire courtyard.

"Women don't have to shrink back, Ben Du is not a demon, he won't do anything to you!"

Cao Jixiang glanced around, found a few well-dressed literati, and asked, "Those literati, are they your family?" ”

Gong Shao swallowed and foamed, and whispered, "It's a friend of Xiaguan." ”

"Friends?"

Cao Jixiang frowned: "Your Majesty's holy decree orders everyone to go back to their respective homes, not to stay, and to contain the Zhu clan." ”

"Do you regard the decree as nothing?"

Gong Shao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord, listen to Xiaguan's explanation, these people are all literati from other places and have no residence in Beijing, so they temporarily live in Xiaguan's home." ”

Cao Jixiang began to doubt: "Literati from other places? ”

"When did it arrive at your house?"

Gong Shao shrank his head: "I entered Beijing with my subordinates." ”

"When did you meet?" Cao Jixiang asked again.

"On the way to Beijing!"

Cao Jixiang asked a few people to be brought over and pointed to one of them: "What's your name?" ”

The man knelt on the ground and said his name was Li You.

"What year is it?"

"Students are talents!" Li You replied.

"Xiucai?"

Cao Jixiang took a torch, walked over, and lit his face with the firelight: "Listening to the accent, it's not a local, who is it?" ”

"He is from Nanzhili and came to Beijing to play." Gong Shao helped him answer.

"Play?"

"Then why do you want to stay in your house for the time being?"

Cao Jixiang approached him, smelled a smell of wine, and looked back at Gong Shao: "Drinking at night?" ”

"Nope!" Gong Shao replied.

"I didn't drink, where did I get the smell of alcohol?"

Cao Jixiang frowned: "Did he go out?" ”

Gong Shao didn't know either, Li You's eyes were cringe.

"Gong Shao, has he been in your house all along? Is there a time when it suddenly disappears? Cao Jixiang was skeptical.

"My lord, Xia Guan really doesn't know!" Gong Shao shook his head.

"Li You, what are you doing in his mansion?"

Cao Jixiang scared him: "If you don't say it, Bendu will let people chop off one of your fingers!" Recruit from the truth! ”

Li You said that he wrote poems and painted.

"Just chanting and painting? Take out the poems you have written, and show them to the Governor. Cao Jixiang felt that these literati were very strange.

Xiucai who came to Beijing to play, if you don't prepare for the township test at home, what is there to play?

It doesn't look like a rich family, otherwise it wouldn't have stayed in someone else's house.

Then it seems very strange to come to Beijing to play.

Li You lowered his head.

Cao Jixiang understood a little: "Recruit from the truth!" ”

"Back to my lord, it's more of a wandering wreck." Li You replied cautiously.

Cao Jixiang looked at Gong Shao sharply.

Gong Shao's wife also looked at him.

"Just, that is, to continue to discuss the psalms, although the lower official is a military attaché, but he has also been promoted and likes to read poetry." Gong Shao made up for it.

Cao Jixiang suddenly asked: "Smell the willows in the flute, pick it up." ”

Gong Shao was dumbfounded: "Say it again." ”

"Smell the willows in the flute, what's the next sentence?"

Gong Shao didn't know, he looked at Li You, and then at several literati, all of them looked at each other, and no one knew.

"Li Taibai's well-known poems, you don't know? What kind of books are you reading? Silver Book Bar! ”

Cao Jixiang shouted: "It's not from the truth!" ”

Gong Shao couldn't hide it anymore, and cried and said, "Big, adult, Xia Guan does have a little fetish......

The blade rested on Gong Shao's neck.

"Ben Governor is not interested in hearing your!"

Cao Jixiang glanced around: "Say, these people, did they suddenly disappear and suddenly appear again?" ”

The cold blade was on his neck, and Gong Shao didn't dare to hide it: "Yes." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li You subconsciously wanted to run.

As a result, Fang Xing overturned with one kick and directly tied up several people with ropes.

Gong Shao was stunned.

"Say!" Cao Jixiang's knife pressed against Gong Shao's neck, and blood gushed out.

Gong Shao said: "The lower officials saw that they were pitiful at that time, so they brought them into the mansion...... Yes! ”

Cao Jixiang pressed the blade into the skin.

"Ben Governor doesn't want to listen to nonsense!"

"They like to drink, they like to go to taverns and drink, sometimes they come back when they get drunk, sometimes they come back the next day!"

Gong Shao was frightened: "Xia Guan should not know, after all, there are not many literati who are willing to wander with Xia Guan......

Cao Jixiang didn't want to hear these words, and asked, "Go out often?" ”

"Not often, basically once every ten days."

These people should not be literati.

Rather, go out to the joint.

It has something to do with the people in the basement.

But why are they hiding in Gongshao Mansion?

also have to endure Gong Shao's little hobbies.

"You didn't notice something wrong with these people?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Gong Shao cried and said, "My lord, the lower official will be honest with you!" ”

"The lower-ranking officials are from operation!"

"Xia Guan likes to recite poems and paint, but he can't read poems, just use the strength of wine to talk about a few bad poems!"

"They like to brag about the lower officials, and the lower officials like to listen to them!"

"Those righteous people in the guild hall don't look down on me."

"My family is not a rich family, nor is it a powerful person in the court, there are a few friends who are willing to be vassals and elegant, and the lower officials are already content."

"Phew!"

Cao Jixiang spat and foamed: "This governor thinks you are dirty!" ”

However, this kind of thing is really an elegant thing, and it comes from the Wei and Jin dynasties.

It is strictly prohibited, but it is repeatedly prohibited.

Gong Shao cried.

"Why are you clinging to such a thing?" Cao Jixiang looked at Li You.

He couldn't figure it out, if it was to escape, he could find a normal family, why did he have to hide in Gong Shao's house?

Li You and the others refused to speak.

These people are of great use and cannot be killed.

Cao Jixiang simply put the knife on Gong Shao's neck.

Gong Shao was stunned, how do I know! Ask them!

"Ben Governor asks you, think about it, what attracts them?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Perhaps, they are also fellow believers? Yes! ”

Gong Shao screamed.

The blade pressed into the back of his neck, blood spurting.

"If you play any more tricks, Ben will chop off your head!" Cao Jixiang held the knife in one hand and pressed the back of the knife with the other.

Gong Shao didn't dare.

"The lower officials don't know!"

"Yes!"

"I can't think of it!" Gong Shao cried.

Cao Jixiang gave Fang Xing a look.

Fang Xing dragged out a person and put the knife on his neck: "You can't think of it, in an instant, this official will slaughter one!" Until you figure it out! ”

Burst!

He cut one first.

Gong Shao's younger brother collapsed in a pool of blood.

"I don't know!"

Burst!

Gong Shao's son is dead.

In an instant, Fang Xing killed someone, and he didn't lie.

"Don't kill, don't kill, let me think, think!" Gong Shao collapsed directly.

Cao Jixiang waved his hand, always leaving a glimmer of hope.

"Iron!"

"It's iron!"

Gong Shao didn't dare to say it, but he had to say: "My family has pig iron, they must be plotting my family's pig iron!" ”

Cao Jixiang was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" Pig iron? Smuggle? ”

"My lord, it's not smuggling, it's not smuggling, my family has an iron mine in Henan......" Gong Shao quickly explained.

The mine in his mouth is the mine of the Zhou Palace, which was rewarded by the emperor.

"What about in Jingshi?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Gong Shao said: "Recently, the price of iron in Beijing has been high, so I asked my guy to transport it from Henan and sell it on the black market. ”

It's a head-killing business.

The mines that were given to the king's lords were purchased by the court and were not allowed to be sold privately.

"My lord, my family's mine is legal, it was given to King Zhou by Emperor Taizong, and King Zhou subcontracted it to my family!"

Gong Shao didn't dare to say anything, he bumped into Cao Jixiang's murderous eyes.

The court is extremely sensitive to iron.

In the three battles of Mobei, Warat and Tatar, the soldiers were not badly equipped. The emperor was puzzled as to how the iron artifacts flowed into Mobei.

Found it this time!

Gong Shao's so-called black market is the gang in the basement who is recycling.

After the contract was adjusted, the standard ordnance was sent to Mobei and sold at a high price.

The Mobei soldiers took the ordnance produced by the Ming Dynasty and plundered the Ming people.

Good business!

"You can subcontract it to your family, but it's illegal to sell it!"

"You Gong Shao is a lifter."

"Will you know?"

Cao Jixiang waved his hand and asked people to kill all the Gong family!

"My lord, spare your life!"

Gong Shao went crazy: "The lower official has said everything, don't kill it, please spare my family's life!" ”

Cao Jixiang smiled: "Bendu is helping you." ”

"If you go to prison, you will be even worse."

"Don't you know where this iron goes?"

"In this case, King Zhou has to die!"

"Ben Du let you die first, he is helping you!"

Gong Shao screamed, you let me see with my own eyes that my whole family died in front of me, but you said that you were helping me, you Cao Jixiang is a devil!

"That's Emperor Taizong's reward...... Belch! ”

Gong Shao's head rolled on the ground.

Cao Jixiang's face showed a fierce light: "Emperor Taizong is wise and martial, how can you and other villains be worthy of talking about it?" ”

If Gong Shao didn't mention Emperor Taizong.

Maybe there's a chance to live.

Who let him find his own death, saying that the mine was given to the king of Zhou by Emperor Taizong, do you want to say that Emperor Taizong has eyes and no beads?

"Taken care of?" Cao Jixiang looked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing hurriedly knelt on the ground: "All killed." ”

"Seal it and leave the two brothers here."

Cao Jixiang spit out a breath of turbidity: "Send the news you got to Fan Qing." ”

asked Li You to be sent to prison for strict interrogation.

These people are in Gong Shao's mansion, and they should know in detail about the sale of pig iron in Gong Shao's house.

"Camp Governor, why should we become the people of Dongchang?" Tang Xian asked.

"You remember, now the emperor is waiting anxiously in the palace, and the factory guards patrol the camp to serve the emperor!"

"What we do, the emperor watches."

"Don't fight among yourself."

Cao Jixiang knew very well that it was impossible for the city gate to be closed for a long time.

The emperor should be equal to humility.

After Yu Qian led the army into Beijing, it was the time when the city gate was opened.

So, there wasn't much time left for him.

The emperor wants to rectify the king of Zhou.

Is it just a mere Zhou king?

The kings of Qin, Shu, Tang, Qing, Zheng, Jing, Zhao, and so on, weren't they all the emperor's targets?

"Fang Xing, Tang Xian!"

Cao Jixiang made a decision: "The two of you, each lead a team, Tang Xian is responsible for raiding Shang Jia, and Fang Xing is responsible for King Zhou's in-laws." ”

"Mark and obey!"

Fang Xing and Tang Xian have long wanted to lead the team alone and go out to make a wave.

More than that, Cao Jixiang has to continue to split, divide the troops into multiple ways, and carry out at the same time, everything must be fast.

The news was summarized in Fan Qing's hands.

Fan Qing was already outside the city at the moment.

He was in the basement, found the exit, and followed it all the way.

"Pig iron from mines outside Beijing?"

In Fan Qing's eyes, a supply chain is gradually becoming clear.

"Where will the transferred ordnance go?"

Lu Gao led the cavalry to help: "Lord Fan, this official believes that the top priority is to catch this group of people. ”

He was anxious to make meritorious contributions.

Fan Qing shook his head: "Lord Lu, don't worry, as long as you figure out the transportation route of this gang of thieves, they won't be able to escape." ”

Lu Gao didn't understand.

"They don't dare to walk in the wilderness with this black light." The Dongchang Fanzi led by Fan Qing, although there are no horses, they are all fat and strong.

They also have night blindness, but it is milder.

Born with mud legs, all of them have night blindness and cannot see at night.

At the same time, there are wild beasts outside the city, and there may be bandits.

Walking at night is very unsafe.

Lu Gao was a little clear: "What does Master Fan mean is that this group of people have a foothold outside the city?" ”

"Bring the map!"

"Torch!"

By the light of the torches, he looked at the villages outside the Jingding Gate.

"What village do you suspect this group is hiding?"

Fan Qing shook his head: "This official suspects that some villages are all strongholds of these people!" ”

"The ordnance they transferred from the Beijing camp."

"Need to be shipped away, sold."

"So, there must be a foothold outside the city."

"The place has to be big, not to be suspicious."

"Let's come out of the tunnel, the wind and waves are calm all the way, and the group of people is nowhere to be seen, which just means that they are near here."

Fan Qing didn't panic at all.

Lu Gao admired Fan Qing's ability to handle cases.

Dali Temple has a god Zhou Xuan, famous in Beijing.

They talked as they walked.

"Lord Fan speculates, where did those ordnance go?" Lu Gao also relaxed, and his hand left the waist knife.

"Mobei!"

Fan Qing coldly spit out two words.

"Doesn't that mean that the equipment of the Warat and Tatars is more elite than that of our Ming army?" Lu Gao was slightly startled.

Fan Qinggang was about to speak.

Shout!

An arrow burst through the air.

Fan Qing knocked down Lu Gao as fast as he could, and at the same time shouted: "Enemy attack!" Lie down! ”

Lu Gao subconsciously wanted to overturn Fan Qing.

Only after realizing the enemy attack did he realize it.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

"Extinguish the torches, it's dark, they can't see us!"

"Don't panic!"

Lu Gao took out his waist knife, lay on the ground, and put his ear on the ground: "In the northeast direction!" ”

Shout!

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow arrived.

The side of Lu Gao's body.

The arrow hit the ground, and he escaped.

"How do you know for sure?" Fan Qing asked.

"Believe me!"

Lu Gao was sweating: "Lord Fan, you cover me, I'll crawl over." ”

Neither Dongchang nor Tiqi were equipped with crossbows.

At this moment, the enemy shoots arrows, and they have nothing to do.

Lu Gao has never been on the battlefield.

But he desperately wanted to get His Majesty's favor, and if he wanted to come out, he simply took his life.

Lu Gao is in front, and Fan Qing is in the back.

Two people crawled on the ground.

Lu Gao smiled, he was not the only one who wanted to make meritorious contributions.

"Is it an ambush?" Lu Gao asked.

"No, it's the sentry, we've found them."

Fan Qing recalled the map: "Which village is here?" ”

"Fangjiazhuang." Lu Gao remembers clearly.

"This Fangjiazhuang is one of the strongholds."

Fan Qing confirmed.

Lu Gao listened on the ground again, and frowned: "It's bad, more people are coming!" ”

"Fix this first!" Fan Qing regretted that he should have borrowed a few people from the horse raising army and brought crossbowmen and firecrackers.

He didn't expect that he walked into someone's house while walking.

Lu Gao pointed ahead.

It's right in front.

Fan Qing glanced at it secretly, his vision was very blurry, but it looked like there was a small tree.

"Behind the tree!" Fan Qing was ambiguous.

Lu Gao can't take care of it so much.

The hand holding the knife was all sweat.

He gathered momentum first, and then rushed out as if he were desperate.

A slash through.

The crossbowman, aware of the danger, immediately hooked the crossbow.

Lu Gao snorted.

But the crossbowman fell to the ground.

The blade ran down his head, splitting him in half.

"Hurt?" Fan Qing came over.

"Don't be verbose, take the crossbow machine and find a tree to dodge!"

Lu Gao was hit by an arrow in the stomach.

But it's worth killing a crossbowman and getting a crossbow.

Fan Qing took the quiver from the man's hand.

Put the crossbow machine on your waist, carry Lu Gao on your back, find a tree, and put Lu Gao on the ground.

At the same time, whistles were heard from parallel directions.

It's like a code.

Fan Qing and Lu Gao looked at each other, no one would either.

"Direction!" Fan Qing asked Lu Gao.

"Lao Tzu is a dog, let me listen to everything!"

Lu Gao listened.

Pointed in one direction.

Fan Qing can only shoot blindly.

Follow the position of the previous crossbowman and shoot the other one.

Shout!

After Fan Qing made sure again, he hooked the crossbow machine.

Run after shooting.

"Grandma's, bring me with you!" Lu Gao was in a hurry.

Fan Qing's arrow should have been hit.

But only the crossbowman was wounded, and the crossbowman was so angry that he shot arrows in this direction.

"Ahh

Lu Gao screamed again, and was hit by an arrow in the leg.

Fortunately, Fan Qing changed his position.

"You're fucking, you don't die and don't die, right?" Lu Gao was angry.

"I'm sorry Lord Lu, after completing the mission, my brother invited you to drink."

They are equal.

Calling each other adults.

"Phew, Lao Tzu's arrow is for you, just drink a meal, won't Lao Tzu die of a loss?" Lu Gao's tone is rude, and it is easy to win people's favor.

"A lifetime of wine, brother packed!" Fan Qing said with a smile.

"It's decided?"

Lu Gao is stammering Fan Qing.

After tomorrow, Fan Qing is afraid that he will rise to the top.

He didn't know when he had such a good life.

"It's set!"

Fan Qing heard the sound of walking, his head sticking out of the trunk of the tree, and he shot directly blindly.

In the dark, he couldn't see clearly.

It's all about feeling.

As luck would have it, the crossbowman was killed.

"More people coming!" Lu Gao gasped for air.

"I knew it was daylight!"

A good officer and army, but it turned out to be only one bow and crossbow, two people.

"Withdraw!"

Fan Qing carried Lu Gao on his back.

Run quickly to the back.

There should only be two police posts in this village.

"Brothers, get out!"

Fan Qing was sure that he couldn't be provoked, when he first opened the basement, the gang of thieves was extremely fierce, and they were unlucky when they collided in the middle of the night.

"Wait!"

Lu Gao, who was lying on Fan Qing's back, suddenly said: "Lie down, don't move!" ”

"What's wrong?" Fan Qing asked.

"It seems that there is a large number of cavalry coming!" Lu Gao put his ears on the ground and listened carefully.

Fan Qing also lay down to listen, there was really the sound of horses' hooves.

They glanced at each other, it was the Henan Army!

"The Henan Army should enter Beijing through Chaoyangmen, why did they bypass Andingmen?" Fan Qing frowned.

They heard the cavalry.

The other party also heard it, and there was a commotion in the entire Fangjiazhuang.

The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer.

Getting closer and closer, I saw a knight, dressed in armor, leading a group of cavalry, galloping in this direction as fast as possible.

Those who dare to ride in the middle of the night must have extremely superb riding skills, and they are also the elite of the elite in the army.

"It's not like a Han Chinese!" Lu Gao said suddenly.

Fan Qing was surprised.

"Lao Tzu smelled a smell of mutton."

Lu Gao not only has good ears, but also a smart nose.

"It doesn't matter who it is, if you gallop so fast outside Beijing in the middle of the night, it must be an official army." Fan Qing gave Xiao Wu a look.

Let Xiao Wu lead this cavalry in this direction.

After a while.

The cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the leading knight is dressed in armor and has excellent riding skills.

Suddenly, with a pull on the reins, the war horse neighed, he turned over and jumped down, and hugged his fist towards Fan Qing, but opened his mouth in broken Chinese: "This general is Ah Jin." ”

Kim?

Fan Qing had never heard of this name.

"I am the deputy commander of the Henan Army!"

Although they are collectively called the army, when they arrive at the place, they will be divided into various guards, and each guard will form the Henan Army during the war.

As a result, three people are of the same level.

"General Ah Jin is a naturalized Mongolian?" Fan Qing understood a little, the Henan army fell a little, and selected the elite from the captives to fill the Henan army.

"I'm Han!"

Ah Jin was proud, pointing to the army behind him: "We are all Han people!" ”

But they all have scimitars, and they can't speak Chinese.

After a brief exchange.

Fan Qing learned that Ah Jin led a thousand people to Andingmen to help Fan Qing.

"That gang of thieves, in Fangjiazhuang, please ask General Ah Jin to level this village for us!" Fan Qing gave up.

"Dare to disobey?"

Ah Jin turned over and got on his horse.

He likes Tucun the most, but he didn't expect to be naturalized into the Ming Army and encounter such a good thing.

"Wait, try not to kill." Lu Gao Dao.

Ah Jin frowned and looked at Fan Qing.

"This is the deputy commander of the cavalry, Lu Gao."

Fan Qing introduced: "General Ajin, these people are very important to us, try not to kill." ”

"Okay!"

Ah Jin was very helpless.

With a gesture, the cavalry went straight into the village.

The arrows from the opposite side could not penetrate the armor at all.

Ah Jin and the others quickly entered the village.

"This riding ......"

Lu Gao was dumbfounded: "No wonder Xing Guogong can't bear to kill him, just this riding skill is also one of the best in the Ming army, but the riding skills of the desert northerners are so exquisite, if they are given elite equipment, we really can't beat them." ”

Fan Qing nodded silently.

In front of the cavalry, the gang of thieves was the local chicken.

In half an hour, the problem was solved.

Ah Jin sent someone to tell Fan Qing that they had all been caught.

Fan Qing quickly entered the village.

I saw that the window lattice was full of arrows.

The cavalry is collecting arrows.

Obviously, Ah Jin fought a war by using arrows to drive away, and after covering indiscriminately, he drove his horse into the village, rode on a war horse, and used a long weapon against a short weapon, just like an adult bullying a child.

Killed a hundred or so people.

There are still a few hundred still alive.

Fan Qing asked them all to be tied up and searched the whole village.

Ah Jin originally wanted to make a wave, and the people fought with their lives in order to make money, and they spent money very fiercely, and they had to play with their lives to make money.

But Fan Qing secretly handed over a silver ticket, 10,000 taels.

Ah Jin left satisfied.

"My lord, why do you want to give him money?" Xiao Wu is not angry.

The alien cavalry looked down on them very much.

Xiao Wu wanted to ride a war horse, but was swept down with a long weapon, making him disgraced.

"People are sophisticated."

Fan Qing patted him on the shoulder: "You'll understand when you're older, Xiao Wu, you still have injuries, don't work so hard, your body is important." ”

Xiao Wu is not angry.

Fan Qing began the interrogation.

Lu Gao was carried into the village, under the oil lamp, and treated his wounds by himself.

"Damn, pull them all out, Lao Tzu will be killed one by one!" Lu Gao gasped.

Fan Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Find an empty space and get everyone here.

"Which other village is your people?" Fan Qing asked people to check, and there was no ordnance in this village.

No one paid any attention to him.

Fan Qing smiled, and then took a knife to split.

Torture people, who wouldn't.

"Brothers, give them some hard work."

Dongchang Fanzi will torture people, and so will the cavalry.

Soon, someone spat out.

"It's none of my business, I'm just a craftsman, and I don't have anything to do!" There was an old man who looked at the bloody scene and was frightened.

"Artisans? What do you do? Fan Qing asked.

"Yes, a blacksmith."

The old man said: "The wages here are high, so we will work here." ”

"How long have you been doing it?" Fan Qing asked again.

But a fierce-looking young man rushed over and tried to kill the old man.

Fan Qing slashed him with a knife.

"Damn, don't you dare to kill people?"

Fan Qing looked at everyone fiercely: "Not only him, but his nine clans all have to die!" ”

"Do your nine clans also want to be buried with you?"

"Lao Tzu is the deputy commander of the East Factory!"

"Don't you know what the East Factory does?"

Everyone stopped.

Fan Qing looked at the old man again: "You say!" ”

The old man looked stupid: "Big, big master, what is the East Factory?" ”

Fan Qing's eyes lit up, if you didn't have the goods in your stomach, you would be damned if you asked this sentence.

"Someone who can kill your nine clans." Fan Qing said coldly.

"Then you and the prefect, whose official position is big?" The old man asked again.

"If the prefect dares to make a mistake, the official will still kill him!"

The old man kowtowed in fright: "I said, I said everything!" ”

"Speak quickly!"

The old man was all gone.

He was a blacksmith and was recruited to work in the basement for three years.

There is a rule for working in the basement, you are not allowed to ask anything, you can get more money every month, you are not in arrears, but you are not allowed to leave the village.

As for what to do with the ordnance and where to send it, he didn't know anything.

"Where are you blacksmith?"

Fan Qing found a small detail: "Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a local." ”

"The adult is Mingjian, and the villain is the blacksmith of Zhejiang."

"He was recruited by the imperial court to serve as a husband."

"In the end, I don't know why, so I stayed here."

"The villain also married a wife here, gave birth to a child, and took root here."

The old man's words surprised Fan Qing.

Foreign husband servant, was left in Beijing?

How is that possible?

"Is it the others?"

The old man nodded, and many craftsmen said that the opening was a variety of dialects.

None of them are local.

They were all forcibly conscripted into Beijing on the grounds of husband's servitude, forcibly retained in Beijing, gave them some money, married and had children locally, and then were fixed in Fangjiazhuang.

It is estimated that the household registration in the household department is also fake.

The person who did this can be described as a great power.

"Who's in charge here?"

Ask for a subscription! There will be more in the back!
