Chapter 79

The weather was fine, Luo Shangwen and the generals of the army, leading the soldiers of the Qin army, came out from the east gate.

He purposely passed the street outside the Prince Qin's Mansion, with great momentum, specially for the King Qin Mansion and others to see.

This is the method used by Sun Chuanting to confuse the Qin Palace, making them mistakenly think that the soldiers in the city are out of the city to do things.

As it was getting late, the soldiers circled around Xi'an Fucheng, and entered through the west gate under the cover of night.

There is a curfew at night, and the population in Xicheng is sparsely populated. In Sun Chuanting's view, it is definitely not easy for the people in the Qin Palace to detect it.

At this time, King Qin, how can he care about these things?

It might be a beautiful thing to play with those beautiful ladies in the mansion, why bother with these troubles?
Outside the gates of the Qin merchants, or around them, there were spies staring at them.

The same is true outside the Qin Palace.

The sky was bright, and in the study room in the backyard of the yamen, Sun Chuanting looked at the generals standing in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, success or failure depends on one action, this cancer must be eradicated.

Tomorrow there will be a banquet for the King of Qin at Qin Xianglou, you start making arrangements now, and you must firmly hold Qin Xianglou in our hands! "

"Order!"

The generals surrendered.

"There are also those Qin merchants who are staring at them for now. Once the king of Qin succeeds, all the Qin merchants will be arrested and sealed up together with their goods!"

Sun Chuanting ordered again, talking about the detailed rules and regulations inside.

An hour later, these generals walked out of the governor's office and started to act according to Sun Chuanting's order.

There are more beggars or small business hawkers outside Qin merchants' homes, and the same is true outside the Qin Palace.

At dusk, Sun Chuanting's invitation was sent to the palace.

It is said: King Qin's lineage is highly respected in Xi'an Mansion, and they led the army before the expedition. If there is no place to maintain stability in King Qin's Mansion, Xi'an Mansion may have been in chaos long ago.In addition, the Qin Palace had donated to the Qin army before, so Sun Chuanting, on behalf of the elders of the San Qin, hosted a banquet to thank him.

Where did the King of Qin know about the trap, he thought it was an advantage, so he agreed.

Besides, I have been in the mansion for a long time, and I just happened to go out to exercise my body.

Zhu Cunshu, the last King of Qin Dynasty, was originally a fat guy. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke Xi'an, Zhu Cunshu surrendered, and then entered the capital with Li Zicheng, accepted Li Zicheng's title, and served as General Quan.

Since the establishment of the feudal clan, King Qin's lineage has committed many crimes, and has always been the most vicious person in the land of Shaanxi.

Similar to other princes of the Zhu family, he is lustful and greedy for money, and likes to take advantage.

Zhu Cunshu, who received the invitation, was in a good mood. As the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting had never pretended to be false before, but now he even entertained himself, which shows that he still has a sense of awe for himself.

Under various psychological conditions, he agreed to Sun Chuanting's request.

Sun Chuanting who received the reply did not dare to relax. Although he agreed, he did not dare to guarantee that tomorrow's affairs will be successful.

The candles in the study room were brightly lit. Sun Chuanting sat behind the desk and looked at Luo Shangwen standing in front of him: "Look at me tomorrow, as a sign of throwing a cup. Remember, you must calm down and don't show your feet!"

"Order!"

Luo Shangwen took the lead.

Before dawn the next day, Zhu Cunshu set off early.

The guard of honor of King Qin came all the way, from King Qin's Mansion to Qin Xianglou.

Sun Chuanting led Shaanxi officials and waited quietly outside Qinxiang Building.

He has been welcoming Zhu Cunshu to the second floor.

After sitting down, various meals were served on the table.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Holding a glass of wine, Zhu Cunshu smiled like a flower.

Sun Chuanting held up the wine glass and drank the wine inside.

Looking at Luo Shangwen behind him, he gestured with his eyes.

Luo Shangwen nodded and walked out.

Estimating the time, Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Cunshu and smiled.

The wine glass in his right hand clenched even tighter, and his left hand touched the dagger at his waist.

There is a sign of a figure flashing outside the window, and the shadow is thick.

Sun Chuanting took a deep breath, shook his right hand violently, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, it fell apart and fell apart.

Qin Wang was slightly taken aback, still confused about the situation, he hurriedly asked, "Master Sun, why is this?"

Whoa!
As soon as the words were spoken, the door slammed open from the outside.

Dozens of warriors with armor and swords poured in from outside.

Sun Chuanting suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and forced it towards Zhu Cunshu.

"Niwang, do you accept your fate?"

Sun Chuanting let out a stern voice, and stepped forward, with the dagger on Zhu Cunshu's chin.

There was a noisy sound outside the house, and the soldiers downstairs launched an attack on the followers brought by Zhu Cunshu.

In the room, the attendants who came in with King Qin were all controlled.

The officials who sat with him looked confused, not knowing why.

Qin Wang looked at the knife under his neck and the shining knife in front of him, his face was full of bewilderment.

What's going on?What are you doing with a good knife?
"Ni Wang, you have been exposed, do you have anything to say?" Sun Chuanting shouted again.

Zhu Cunshu became anxious and shouted: "What happened? What happened? What did you say? Why don't you understand?"

Why do you feel frightened after eating a meal?What the hell is going on?

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, he shouted, "Don't cry if you don't see the coffin!"

Putting away the knife, he went to a table in the corner of the room, opened a box on it, and respectfully held out an imperial decree.

When he came to Zhu Cunshu, he unfolded the imperial decree and read aloud: "The Emperor Chengyun, the emperor, said: Zhu Cunshu, the rebellious king, conspired against him, ordered him to be arrested and brought to justice, and gave him the right to act cheaply."

The imperial decree is very long, and it can be summed up in one sentence.

"King Qin rebelled, arrest him and bring him to justice, you can figure it out!"

Zhu Cunshu was so anxious that he was about to cry, what's going on?All right, I didn't do anything, why was I arrested?

Or rebellion?When did I rebel?How come I don't know about rebellion?
"It's wrong, it's wrong!"

Hastily yelled, repeatedly begging for mercy.

It's a pity, how could Sun Chuanting care about him?
Immediately let someone detain him.

The rest of the officials in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Looking at the officials in front of him, Sun Chuanting snorted coldly and said, "Today's matter is an order from His Majesty!"

After leaving a word, he left with his subordinates, only the officials who were still in shock remained.

In the warm room, Sun Chuwen was drinking tea leisurely when footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

He thought it was his son running around, and was about to yell at him, when a big man in iron armor broke in with a knife.

"Catch it without a fight, don't struggle!"

With a loud shout, he waved his knife and rushed towards Sun Chuwen.

Sun Chuwen was stunned and terrified.

All right, what's going on here?

Not only Sun Chuwen, Yang Lin, Qin Shang and others, as long as they were from Qin Shang, they were all immediately controlled by Sun Chuanting's soldiers.

For a time, the entire Xi'an Prefecture was in a state of flux.

All Qin and Shang industries were seized.

According to external news, Qin Shang gang and King Qin intend to rebel.

Big-character posters are plastered all over Xi'an Prefecture.

There are also Shanxi Merchants Business Halls in the Xi'an Mansion. They were very scared when they saw this scene.

The Qin merchants conspired with the king of Qin to rebel, and the Jin merchants conspired with Jiannu.

There is no essential difference between the two. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but it is happening before my eyes, how can I not be afraid?
Shanxi merchants with a guilty conscience quickly closed their doors to thank customers and ceased business.

Outside Qin Wang's mansion, Sun Chuanting led soldiers and horses to block all the entrances and exits, and all the doors were sealed.

Sun Chuanting did not have the right to copy a family of vassals.

It can only be done by the royal army, and Chongzhen can only appoint people to do it.

A vassal king with a lot of property, some of which leaked through his fingernails would be a lifetime of glory and wealth. How could the people in power let Sun Chuanting do such a beautiful thing?
However, a door was still left, and Sun Chuanting led soldiers and horses to search for evidence of King Qin's rebellion inside.

After searching for two or three days, I just couldn't find any evidence.

This gave Sun Chuanting a headache. How could such a thing be hidden?
No way, since that's the case, let's report the matter first, and wait for Chongzhen's order.

During this period, Sun Chuanting was not idle.

They investigated Sun Jie's whereabouts in the city, but very few people in the city knew of Sun Jie's whereabouts. They only knew that they were probably in Fuping County, but not the exact location.

That city was located in Fuping County, Sun Chuanting made some associations and determined that the person in the city must be Sun Jie.

……

In the prison of the governor's yamen, King Qin sat in a relatively spacious cell.

After all, he is still a prince, so he should not be too negligent before the imperial decree of Chongzhen's punishment comes down.

Sun Chuanting stood in front of him, frowning and asked: "How did you instruct Sun thief? Also, what is your purpose? Where is your evidence?"

The king of Qin was stunned, his white and chubby face was full of innocence.

"What, what are you talking about, Xiao Wang really doesn't understand!"

Sun Chuanting twitched, it wasn't the first time he asked him, but it was always the same.

This caused Sun Chuanting a great headache, he pretended to be real, it was too good.

He said again: "Sun Thief is Sun Jie, the owner of Mitang Pavilion. I used to think that he was an extraordinary person, but I didn't expect him to be your minion.

You don't have to be pitiful, the place in Fuping County is your land, and building a city on your land is not a rebellion, what is it?
Inexplicably, how come there are so many fewer refugees outside the city?Still young?How do you explain these things? "

"Xiao Wang repeats, Xiao Wang doesn't know Sun Jie at all. Also, the palace has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and the land has disappeared. How does Xiao Wang know where there is land?
It's all managed by the field managers below, and Xiao Wang doesn't know it at all.Xiao Wang doesn't even know about the strong men outside the city! "

King Qin's voice was a little louder, full of grievances.

Well done, eating wine and meat and singing songs at home, suddenly came here, and suddenly became a traitor again, is this a big joke?

I asked some more questions, but I couldn't find anything at all, I was stuttering, and there was nothing useful.

As for the punishment, to be honest, Sun Chuanting did not have the qualifications.

After all, he is the descendant of the dragon, unless Chongzhen directly orders him, it is better not to mess with him.

When he walked out of the cell, Sun Chuanting's face was extremely ugly.

"It's so natural, it doesn't look like it's pretending. It shouldn't be, the city is indeed there, and the refugees outside the city have disappeared.

After investigation, it was Qin Shang who helped send it to Fuping.That city is in Fuping territory, and the city belongs to Prince Qin's Mansion, so how could it be unrelated? "

He stared blankly at the wall in front of him, feeling helpless in his heart.

"If that's the case, then change direction!"

With a murmur, he walked out of the cell.

Someone got the household registration of Prince Qin's mansion to the governor's office.

The household registration of the people in the Qin Palace is not under the control of the local government, and they are all in the palace.

I want to start from here and verify Sun Jie's identity.

Unfortunately, it still fell through.

It took a few days to search both sides of a large number of household registrations with manpower, but they couldn't find them.

Although there are a few people with the same name as Sun Jie, their identities don't match at all. They are all still in the mansion, so if you bring them to see, they are not at all.

This way was blocked, and he remembered what the King of Qin said before, so he gathered all the field managers in the entire palace into one cell.

……

Zhou Da hid in the corner of the cell, looked at the surrounding scene, his face was ugly, he wanted to slap himself a few big mouths.

He is in charge of the fields of the palace, so he naturally knows whether King Qin will rebel or not.

Live for so many years, never heard of it.

Over the past few days, I heard bits and pieces of news, which seemed to be related to Sun Jie, the owner of Honey Pavilion.

If there is only one Honey Pavilion Sun Jie in Xi'an, it must be him.

"Damn, I really regret it, I'm too greedy, I didn't expect this guy to do rebellion, I really regret it!"

Zhou Da's face was ugly, regretting endlessly.

While regretting, Sun Chuanting led someone into the cell.

His eyes swept over these people one by one, and he asked, "Do you know Sun Jie?"

"do not know!"

Everyone shook their heads, their faces full of bewilderment.

Although Zhou Da kept shaking his head, the expression on his face betrayed him.

The unusual behavior caught Sun Chuanting's attention, and he came directly to him.

"Do you know Sun Jie?" The voice was a little lower, condescending, beyond doubt.

"No, I don't know, I really don't know!"

He shook his head again and again with a guilty conscience, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Hehe, change him to another cell!" Sun Chuanting pointed at Zhou Da and said.

The entourage behind him picked up Zhou Da's collar and dragged it outside.

He was so scared that he yelled again and again.

If you can't punish the king of Qin, can't you punish him?

When he came to the cell next door, Sun Chuanting took a whip from the wall and flicked it hard, making a crackling sound.

"Be honest, or I will let you know the pain of flesh and blood!" He snapped.

Zhou Da originally wanted to hide it, but when Sun Chuanting pulled the whip at him, he confessed everything.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting walked out of the prison.

It was already dark, and the sky was full of stars, and the stars were brilliant.

My mind was a mess, nothing to mess with, like paste.

Zhou Da told everything, how he met Sun Jie, how he managed a shop for him, as well as mineral water bottles, and Ye Mingzhu.

This did not allow Sun Chuanting to solve the puzzle, but even more confused.

It was as if everything had nothing to do with Prince Qin's mansion, and everything was done by Sun Jie himself.

If it is true what Zhou Da said, then King Qin is really innocent?

This is no joke, slandering a prince is a serious crime of beheading!

I couldn't help but shuddered, and got even more confused.

Early the next morning, Sun Chuanting sent someone to take Zhou Da to the place where he met Sun Jie for the first time to check.

It didn't take much time to bring people back.

Sun Chuanting was taken aback by the result, which was exactly as Zhou Da said.

This result did not reassure Sun Chuanting, but made him even more worried.

When things developed to this point, everyone in the world knew that King Qin was rebelling.

People are arrested, and they turn around and say that something is wrong, isn't that just a joke?
If this gets out, how will the world view Chongzhen?How do you see the court?

It's a lot of courage to make a joke with a vassal king!

This incident made Sun Chuanting's scalp tingle, but he ignored Sun Jie's side.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, the confiscation mission sent by Chongzhen came.

Led by Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang, they led [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp and [-] captains of Jinyiwei to enter Xi'an Mansion.

Without saying a word, the two went straight to Prince Qin's mansion and began to ransack the house.

Sun Chuanting didn't stop him, and let the two of them ransack the house.

After the two of them finished raiding their homes, Sun Chuanting invited them to the Yamen and told them the news he had obtained.

What is it called?This is called dragging people into the water, and this is called not blaming others.

Originally, it was Sun Chuanting's business alone, so Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang couldn't stay out of it, and together with Sun Chuanting, they became grasshoppers on a rope.

Sun Chuanting is loyal, but if he has no means, how can he gain a foothold in the officialdom?

Moreover, this Yang Sichang dug holes for Sun Chuanting many times, and the two had always been at odds. If he didn't do this and Yang Sichang knew in advance, then Sun Chuanting would really fall.

Late at night, in the governor's office study.

"Snapped!"

Yang Sichang patted the desk in front of him and pointed at Sun Chuanting like a raging lion, "Sun Boya, what do you want to do? What do you want to do? How dare you frame a vassal king? You are so courageous!"

Sun Chuanting sat behind the desk with a calm face, neither in a hurry nor slow, "I framed a vassal? Don't forget, you, Mr. Yang, ransacked the house much faster than me, and you can't stop it!"

Yang Sichang's face was livid, and he yelled: "You are a thief who joins the army, don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Chuanting's expression changed.

His ancestors were military households, and now he is being scolded like this, how can he be happy?This is cursing!
"Three days ago, I remembered that Mr. Yang shipped a batch of goods to his hometown. I don't know where the goods came from?

The house of the palace has been confiscated. Could it be possible that you can still send it back? "Sun Chuanting did his part and responded directly.

"you you……"

Yang Sichang pointed at Sun Chuanting, trembling out of breath, not knowing how to reply.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor confiscated many houses, many of which were taken by the people below.

This is already an open secret, and everyone knows it except Chongzhen.

Back then, only a few thousand taels of silver were copied from Wei Zhongxian's home, inside and out, into Chongzhen's hands.

It's an open secret, yes, but if it gets to Chongzhen, the consequences will be disastrous!
Cao Huachun sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, his face was calm, even without any waves.

How easy is it to confront Wei Zhongxian head-on against those who have retreated from the whole body?
"You two, this matter should be discussed in the long term!"

Cao Huachun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"How to make a long-term plan?" Yang Sichang looked anxious, and gave Sun Chuanting a hard look.

"You two, King Qin's rebellion is a certainty, why are you talking nonsense?"
