By the time Jiang Ning left the Qiantang Wei camp, the sky was already dark.

He didn't dare to delay, and marched all the way with his men and horses, rushing to the yamen of the tax supervision department, intending to capture Ding Chang in one fell swoop before the news leaked.

As one of the three major eunuchs in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Ding Chang was in charge of customs duties, and raised two or three thousand tax collectors under his command, many of whom were ruffians and hooligans or even outlaws.

Although the strength is not as good as Qiantangwei, it is still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Jiang Ning was cautious and cautious, for fear that he would accidentally capsize the boat.

At daylight, he finally arrived at the yamen of the tax superintendent.

This is a tidal flat, and there is a large area of reeds around the dense buildings.

Jiang Ning had already found out the situation here and made a battle plan.

As a result, as soon as the thousands of men and horses arrived in front of the reeds, they quickly fanned out, drilled in, and slowly moved forward until they surrounded the yamen of the tax superintendent.

Just when Jiang Ning was approaching, a commotion suddenly appeared in Hainingwei's formation not far away, causing the reeds to rustle and make a lot of noise.

"What people!"

The nearby checkpoint noticed the strange situation, and the tax collector stationed there shouted loudly.

Immediately afterward, a flurry of arrows came in.

But fortunately, their main weapons were knives and guns, and there were very few bows and arrows, and they only shot a few dozen before they were gone.

But there were still Haining guards who were shot, bleeding and crying out in pain.

At this moment, the tax collector didn't know that someone wanted to attack the yamen of the tax superintendent, so he ran back in a panic and told Ding Chang.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Zhang He couldn't help but scold.

Jiang Ning was also secretly annoyed.

It seems that this group of generals is still lightly trained.

Such a simple raid can't be done.

"My lord, what do we do now?"

"Summon, speed up, and rush into the yamen of the tax superintendent."

For the sake of today's plan, he could only take advantage of Ding Chang's late reaction and quickly take it.

In the Yamen of the Tax Supervision Department.

Ding Chang, who received the tax collector's report, suddenly became alert.

Combined with the news of the past few days, he quickly thought that Jiang Ning had come to arrest him.

Saying that he would not return to Beijing in the near future, it must have been rumored that he should be told to relax his vigilance.

And although Ding Chang has a good mind, he can't be fearless in the face of danger.

When he found that he was in a bad situation, he suddenly panicked, and even began to think about whether to take the initiative to go out and surrender.

It is impossible to say that there is some mitigation of culpability.

The faces of the tax collectors who listened to his thoughts changed suddenly.

They have a share of almost everything in Ding Chang, and if he is caught, they will definitely not be able to get any benefits.

A fierce tax collector said in a cold voice:

"Why should my father-in-law be alarmed.

If you want your subordinates to say, let's just don't do it twice, and the so-called Qincha will be the result with one sword. ”

Ding Chang glared fiercely:

"You say it nicely, do you want to go and kill him!

Although there are many people in our family, they are all rabble, how can they be compared with the inner factory. ”

"Don't worry, father-in-law, aren't they in the reeds now? As long as we move quickly, we will burn the reeds with a fire before they can rush out.

At that time, no matter how many people he wanted, they were all reduced to ashes.

When this matter is over, the father-in-law will send some benefits to the adults in the capital, is it possible that they will still have a problem with the father-in-law because of the four dead people? ”

Ding Chang listened and paced in the room with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, the tax official hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, don't worry any more, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"Okay, then let's do it!"

Ding Chang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Several tax collectors were overjoyed and hurriedly sent people to set the fire.

In the reeds.

Jiang Ning was about to rush out with people, not wanting to suddenly have thick smoke and fires.

"Oh no, my lord, they set it on fire!"

The fire quickly spread.

Even the direction of the wind was blowing towards Jiangning, making the fire burn faster.

"My lord, this reed swings in a radius of six or seven miles, and we have reached this depth, I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw."

Zhang He said with anger on his face.

And as he spoke, thick smoke came in.

Many soldiers were choked by the smoke, how could they still have the energy to escape.

When the fire arrives, only death awaits.

For a time, despair permeated the entire army.

Jiang Ning forced himself to calm down.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly shouted, "Everyone, cut the reeds in front of me to separate the fire belt." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

They never thought that Jiang Ning would give such an order at such a juncture.

You know, the fire is so big that the smoke can kill people.

Even if there is a fire belt, what is the use?

But Zhang He, who has always carried out Jiang Ning's orders unconditionally, still took his fanzi and worked hard.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunrang immediately cut down the reeds with his salt guards.

As for Liu Qianhu, he was ashamed that his soldiers had disrupted the plan, and he was a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"Quick, listen to my lords, cut me quickly!"

Under the desperate efforts of thousands of people and horses, more than 100 steps of fire belts were cut out.

But the smoke was still approaching.

Many people are choking on the smoke.

At this time, Jiang Ning said again: "Now pile up all the reeds that have been cut down, put them in front of the reeds, and then set them on fire." ”

The crowd is going crazy.

I'm afraid that his mind is not clear.

In this way, don't they burn themselves themselves?

But Zhang He still led people to do it without saying a word.

Jiang Ning couldn't help nodding.

Sometimes it's a blessing to have a subordinate who trusts you unconditionally.

"Okay, now all lie down, cover your mouth and nose, and don't get up without my order!"

After Zhang He lit the fire and withdrew, Jiang Ning shouted again.

Everyone immediately hurriedly lay down.

But in fact, many of them are already desperately waiting to die.

However, they did not expect that after the fire on both sides collided, the direction suddenly changed.

The fire was combined in one place and burned to the yamen of the tax superintendent.

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and looked at Jiang Ning with reverence.

And Ding Chang, who was standing at the gate of the yamen, was originally complacent, but when he saw the sudden change of direction of the fire, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"How so, how so!"

Ding Chang looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "God misunderstood me! ”

He didn't know why, he could only blame God for not giving face, and suddenly changed the direction of the wind.

At this moment, suddenly dozens of inner factory fans, under the leadership of Gong Yue, entered the yamen from the other side.

It turned out that he had been ordered by Jiang Ning early to lead people around from elsewhere.

Just wait for the army to come over, and rush in from the flank to help, which can also play a role in blocking the remnants.

But Gong Yue never thought that a fire would suddenly burn, and Jiang Ning's headquarters would fall into a sea of fire.

He had the heart to save it, but he thought that even if he went, he might not be able to please him.

It is better to simply take advantage of the weakest defense to kill the general and capture Ding Chang to avenge Jiang Ning.

At this time, Ding Chang, who saw the fire sweeping towards the yamen, was extremely flustered.

At first glance, when he saw a fan killed, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Gong Yue easily captured him.

Seeing this, the tax collectors and soldiers, who had wanted to fight, suddenly lost their morale and began to flee in all directions.

Dozens of fans, stunned to chase thousands of people to cut.

"Hunt down and kill all of them, and leave no one behind!"

Thinking of Gong Yue, who Jiang Ning might die, his heart became nameless, and he gave an extremely cruel order.

"My lord, look, the fire has changed."

At this time, a fan suddenly pointed to the reeds and shouted.

The tone was both surprised and delighted.

"Sure enough."

Gong Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "It's all over, follow me to save the adult." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Ding Chang's neck with one hand and picked him up, and rushed over quickly.

Dozens of fans also had no intention of cutting people again, and they followed one after another.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ning packed thousands of people from the top and bottom of the tax supervision department and escorted them back to Hangzhou.

Except for Ding Chang and Hu Hui, who were directly escorted back to Beijing on an official ship, the rest were handed over to the Hangzhou Yamen.

Hefu North Courtyard.

After Jiang Ning came back, he immediately ordered someone to boil hot water for a bath.

After all, one day of Mercedes-Benz, and smoky fire, but there was a stinky sweat.

And just as he was at the top of his body, the door suddenly "creaked" open.

Jiang Ning thought that it was Fanzi who had changed the hot water for him recently, and subconsciously looked over.

But his eyes widened sharply.

"Fang, Fangrui, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Ning hurriedly covered the important parts with a towel.

Zheng Fangrui walked behind him with a red face and said softly, "The slave maid came to rub the master's back." ”

"No, no need, I don't have this habit, sir."

Although during acupuncture, the back and buttocks have been seen.

But it is the first time that it is so naked, where can Jiang Ning accept it.

Zheng Fangrui pursed her lips and said coquettishly:

"Don't shirk it, sir, the slave and maid see that your body is very stiff, you should be tired after a day's work, and you need to relax.

The slave and maid happened to know some massage skills, so they pressed it for the master. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out a pair of slender hands, put them on Jiang Ning's back, and began to gently rub them.

At first glance, feeling the soft and delicate touch, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel excited.

But gradually, he began to enjoy it.

It is worthy of the Xinglin family, and this massage technique is also quite studied.

It's so comfortable.
