Two days ago, the steward of the Ministry of War was arrested and imprisoned, supposedly for taking bribes and perverting the law. ”

"How could the brothers not know that this matter was still found out by Duke Wei, and the person was personally taken down by the Lord of the Pacification Envoy. ”

"I heard that the steward was arrested for offending Duke Wei. ”

"What do you know, that steward is a member of the Donglin Party, don't arrest him and arrest anyone. ”

"Hmph, this group of literati has been thinking about making trouble for us all day long, so it's okay now, let's go to prison. ”

In the Jinyi Wei camp, in the dark corner, seven or eight Jinyi guards on duty got together to chat.

They belong to the lowest level of the Jinyi Guard, and they have no characteristics, so they can only guard the big camp, and they don't have anything to do in plain life, so they like to get together and talk nonsense and have some fun.

In the past few days, a large number of officials in the court have been arrested by Jinyiwei, which has made people panic.

At this time, one of the brocade guards spoke again: "I'm afraid I don't know, since yesterday, the camp has suddenly been under martial law, and the pacification envoy has taken some brothers away. ”

"It seems like they're colluding and rebellious. The other was uncertain.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that there were so many rebellions in the court, and the people who were arrested were nothing more than standing on the wrong team, losing their momentum, and offending Wei Zhongxian, which is commonly known as eating inside and out.

"It's too long, chew your tongue and be careful of your heads. A slightly gloomy voice sounded, and the people who were still gathering just now hurriedly dispersed, for fear of getting into trouble.

The person who came was a thin middle-aged man with a gloomy face, eyes like poisonous snakes, an embroidered spring knife pinned to his waist, and wearing the official uniform of a hundred households.

His name is Li Chun, and he was originally a son who inherited his father's business and inherited his father's official position.

Li Chun has a ruthless personality, has been in Jinyiwei for more than ten years, has countless lives on his hands, is cautious, has always been alone, and rarely makes friends with others.

But his ability is obvious to all, so his subordinates don't dare to think about it.

Li Chun reprimanded everyone, then found a corner alone and began to check the file in his hand.

Baihu is the main force of Jinyiwei, and many things are done by them.

......

"Boom", the door was suddenly slammed open, and the loud noise immediately startled the people in the room, and a group of brocade guards immediately got up and drew their knives.

"What are you doing, put the knife down for me. ”

The person who came was Shen Lian, and under his scolding, everyone put down their weapons, but their eyes were still not good.

Li Chun walked up and said in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with Shen Baihu?" A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly hid it, without leaking the slightest sound.

As for the Shen Baihu in his mouth, it is naturally Shen Lian, Zhang Zheng promoted him to Baihu after he became the envoy of Beizhen, and even the more than ten people who survived were promoted to their respective positions, these people are Zhang Zheng's first batch of henchmen, and the main reason for cleaning Jinyiwei this time is that Shen Lian took them to do it.

That's why Li Chun would panic when he saw Shen Lian, because he was also one of the targets of this purge.

Shen Lian looked at Li Chun, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Li Baihu doesn't know why I came?"

"I don't know. Li Chun shook his head, but in fact, he secretly put his hand on the embroidered spring knife on his waist, as long as there was a slight mistake, he would burst out. Years of killing have made him extremely murderous, and he will not be caught with his hands tied, but as everyone knows, this little move has already been seen by Shen Lian without a trace of it.

"Li Baihu really doesn't know?"

"I don't know, Shen Baihu is here to play tricks on me. Li Chun threatened.

"Well, since you don't know, let me tell you. Shen Lian glanced at him, then took out Zhang Zheng's token from his arms and said loudly: "Li Chun, one hundred households of Jinyiwei, is fornicating and rebellious, and he will be punished by the order of the envoy of the Jinyiwei and put him in the prison of Jinyiwei, and listen to the Hou to deal with it." ”

The surrounding Jinyi guards were taken aback, and they all looked at Li Chun, but unexpectedly, Li Chun's murderous heart suddenly rose, and the slender embroidered spring knife unconsciously came out of its sheath and slashed at Shen Lian's throat.

"Be careful, sir. "They were not in a hurry to rescue, so they had to shout loudly, if Shen Lian died here today, no one would be able to talk about it, and at this moment, everyone hated Li Chun to death.

However, in the next second, everyone stopped what they were doing, and their faces were full of horror.

A flash of knife light suddenly appeared, and this knife was faster and sharper than Li Chun's knife.

"Poof", with a soft sound, Li Chun's knife stopped at the tip of Shen Lian's nose, his left hand tightly covered his neck, and blood flowed down his palm to the ground.

With just one knife, Li Chun's throat was cut open by Shen Lian, and the knife was put into the sheath, and Shen Lian whispered in his ear: "I forgot to tell you that the Lord of the Pacification Envoy also said that once you resist, you will be killed on the spot." ”

"Li Chun intended to rebel, openly arrested, and was killed on the spot by his own officials. Shen Lian turned his head and said to the brocade guards in the room.

"You know what to do, right?"

Everyone still didn't understand, so they echoed one after another, and two more people came out and dragged Li Chun's body out.

Something like this happens every day, from thousands of households, down to the general banner, and inside the Jinyi Guard, a large number of spies are purged.

And the vacant positions of these people, Zhang Zheng naturally installed his henchmen, in contrast, Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun didn't know, and even if they knew, they couldn't help it.

......

......

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings

The sky was overcast, a little electric light flickered, and then the rainstorm followed, and the overwhelming rain curtain just shrouded the city of Beijing in an instant.

The wind and rain stretched, lapping the earth, lightning and thunder, and making an earth-shattering roar, deafening.

A group of knights went out of the city from the east gate, about twenty or thirty people, all of them were dressed in robes, wearing hats, and under the cloak were all flying fish suits, carrying embroidered spring knives, which turned out to be brocade guards.

The leading samurai shouted, the war horse under the crotch roared, the horse's hooves flew over, rolling up the muddy water in the sky, and the samurai behind him followed closely, and the group quickly passed through the city gate and disappeared into the mountain forest.

It seems that they should be heading towards the Jingyuan Mountain outside the city.

"Lord Qiyu, according to the report from the spies, the rebellion is in the mountains forty miles ahead. ”

The wind blew, rolling up the rain, and the people under the hats raised their heads, and their delicate faces were Zhang Zheng, the envoy of Weibei Town, who was today.

"Command the spies to chase after the rebellion, and there must be no mistakes. A cold voice sounded, and the figure in front of him shook, and then disappeared in reflex.

"Speed up and catch him before it gets dark"

War horses galloped, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, echoing among the mountains and forests.

......

In the distance, in the mountains of Jingyuan, a hidden valley.

Seven or eight sturdy men in black gathered around the bonfire, using the light of the fire to dispel the cold in their bodies, with long knives beside them, and many traps set around the valley, obviously not ordinary people.

"My lord, let's leave when the rain stops, stay away from the capital as soon as possible, my subordinates are afraid that someone will follow the trail. ”

The leading man was silent, he had already acquiesced in this person's words, he knew that once he was caught up, he would definitely die a life, if it weren't for this rainstorm, he would have led people out a hundred miles away.

"Hmph, Zhang Zheng, this bastard, eunuch lackey, I will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces one day to avenge my brothers. ”

Several people were silent, for that person, they were really afraid, bottomless calculations, bloody methods, killing people without blinking.

If it weren't for that person, they wouldn't have absconded, giving up the glory and wealth in their hands in vain.

However, the matter has come to this, and what needs to be considered now is how to live, and if he dies, what to take revenge.

"My lord, it's not good, someone is chasing after you. ”

A man in black came out of the woods and shouted at them, and seven or eight men changed their faces greatly, and immediately raised their long knives and ran out of the valley.
