Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 213 Your Majesty, Please Punish Jia Ying

After the night curfew, the capital was silent, and suddenly there was a dog howling on the street, but it was startled by the noisy footsteps on the street.

Outside a spacious courtyard in the west of the city, even at night, there are still several men in corsets guarding the gate. The night is sweeping, making several people doze off with their heads leaning against the gate wall, are they awakened by themselves, their eyes are vigilant? After looking around for a while and finding that there was no one there, he continued to change his posture, folded his arms, and fell asleep leaning against the doorpost.

Sa Sa Sa Sa!

Tatata!
It was the footsteps of a large number of people marching.

The strong man outside the door was startled awake, looking around with sleepy eyes, it was pitch black.

But ears can't fool people.

Haunted?
The man woke up his companion vigilantly, walked out from under the gate, and looked towards the streets on both sides.

A man suddenly stared blankly.

What did he see?
Rows of torches that seemed to be gathered together lit up the entire street. Below the torches seemed to be a group of figures, armed with sharpened arms, with bows and swords drawn, coming towards this side.

The companion on the other side also noticed something strange, and the two looked at each other, very puzzled.

How could there be a brigade of soldiers dispatched this late at night?

The neighborhood is full of private houses, and on the side of the unwilling main street, there are also several official residences. On weekdays, it is rare for people from the yamen to break into this place in large numbers.

Thinking of what their boss said this evening, the faces of the two of them instantly became embarrassed.

"Quick, go and inform the boss."

The two ran into the door in a panic, put the bolt on the door again, and used the doorpost to prop it up.

"Boss, boss, it's not good, a large number of soldiers have come outside, and they seem to be coming towards us."

The courtyard is very large, and it was opened up by four or five private houses, and changed into a house with four entrances. The left and right are scattered with rooms full of people.

Their voices startled many people, they put on their clothes and came out of the room, leaning on the threshold and yelling, "Niu Er, someone is dead, and ghosts are crying and howling in the middle of the night, and they don't let people sleep! "

A man who ran to the depths of the house did not listen to his footsteps, and turned his head back: "Sleep a pig's head, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

"what happened?"

A man in his 40s with a beard and a scarred face came out of the room in disheveled clothes, looked at the person and asked, "What's going on?"

"Boss, outside, there are many officers and soldiers outside, fighting with open flames, as if they are coming for us."

The man with the scar face is Han Sanwu, nicknamed Hanging Death Knell, and he will be 40 years old after the New Year. He was a well-known young rascal in the village when he was young. After something happened, in order to avoid being chased by officers and soldiers, he had to flee to other places.

After coming to the capital alone, he worked as a porter on a horse head in Tongzhou for his livelihood. The business of water bandits was started on the canal again.

Because few of the people who fell into his hands survived, they were nicknamed death knell by the Taoists.

In the past two years, I have saved some belongings, gathered some homeless murderers, and gradually gained momentum, but as I got older, I went to a few concubines and gave birth to two fat sons, so I didn't want to continue. Plane food in the water, do the business of killing people and stealing money.

Baoding Mansion can't go back.

But as the old saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Han Sanwu doesn't want to see the foundation he has laid down just like that, and he doesn't want to hide his name in a deep mountain ditch like an unknown ghost. Living a normal life, he simply stayed not far from the capital, so he brought people into the capital.

Relying on the viciousness and courage of his subordinates, he also broke through some bright halls in the capital and laid down a territory.In order to keep the territory in his hands, he met a nobleman with his saved property. With the help of that person, he gradually gained a foothold, and he also became the eagle dog of the nobleman, specially doing some shameful things for that person. act.

On weekdays, Han Sanwu's Jiaolong Gang also has their own business. Selling smuggled salt is one of their main sources of income. In addition, they also open casinos, buy and sell people, etc. As his power gradually expands, his hands are low. Brothers, there are all kinds of people who do what they do.

If it was placed in Jia Ying's previous life, he would be a proper gangster leader.

However, just this time.There are dozens of people like him in the inner city, not a hundred.His influence is only limited to Mingyu, Heqing, and Chaotian Palace Xisanfang, and it's not the kind of one that dominates.

The reason why Jia Ying focused on the Jiaolong Gang was not only because his lair was in Mingyufang, but most importantly, it was the number one Renyazi in the west row of the city.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Han Sanwu felt a thrill in his heart.

This afternoon, he received the news that the Wucheng soldiers and horses were suing the capital. Although Han Sanwu was very disdainful of the news at first, the Wucheng soldiers and horses were doing chores and sweeping the roads for the nobles. Come on.

But the other party is a yamen after all, and the face that should be given is still given, and only then did the brothers on the street be gathered back.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually came.

"Go and tell the brothers to copy the guys. Don't mess around without my order." After Han Sanwu gave instructions to his subordinates, he went to the front yard, facing the gate, and waited quietly.

At this moment, he still had a little bit of luck, maybe the other party didn't come for him?

As long as you don't enter this door, tonight is over.

"Encircle!"

An order sounded from the street outside the gate, and Han Sanwu's heart sank.

Damn, what a ghost, Wucheng Bingmasi actually came for real.

"Break the door!"

Han Sanwu inside the courtyard wall heard the sound of the door being knocked, and several of his subordinates were blocking the door with debris. His face was stained with ink, and he couldn't last long like this.

"Go up to the wall and get the ladder."

Han Sanwu came to the corner and ordered his subordinates: "Go up and see, who is the leader?"

The subordinate stuck his head out of the wall, and before he could see clearly, a sharp arrow shot towards him, seeing it in a panic, he hurriedly lowered his head and dodged it.

"Boss, the officers and soldiers of the dog days are too unruly. They will kill them as soon as they come up. Is there any law for the king." His calves were trembling, and he complained in his mouth.

Han Sanwu kicked over with one foot: "Your mother, we are thieves, what kind of king's law are we talking about?"

Han Sanwu hid in the corner of the wall, facing outside the wall and shouted loudly: "But Mr. Liao from Xicheng, I'm Han San'er, do we have some misunderstandings?"

It was the soldiers of Xicheng Bingma Division who came.

Baburi followed Jia Ying to fight in the north and south, his face was less naive and more calm and ruthless. He turned his head and ordered to the soldiers behind him: "The archers and rockets are ready."

The second master has explained that tonight, they are here to arrest people.

Since he couldn't escape, he was unwilling to let him go.

"shoot!"

Following Babli's order, the arrows in the hands of eighty archers shot out towards the courtyard.

There were several screams from the courtyard wall, as well as Han Sanwu's exasperated voice.

The door was also knocked open at this moment.

"Whoever resists with weapons, kill!"

Babli raised the ghost-headed sword in his hand, and rushed in with a group of soldiers.

Killing cries sounded in the yard.

Han Sanwu had a lot of men and horses, but those who stayed in the village were only dozens of people. Facing more than 500 officers and soldiers, within a short while, the village returned to silence.

The embarrassed Han Sanwu was tied up by several soldiers and escorted to Babli and Xi'er.

Xi'er signaled to the soldiers behind him, and Han Sanwu was taken down, followed by screams.

On the other side, soldiers have begun searching houses.

When the people from Xicheng Bingmasi left, they were still escorting a few large boxes and a dozen young girls who had been kidnapped by the Jiaolong Gang.

In the inner city, the same scene is happening in many places.

Tonight, the capital is destined to be restless.

Jia Ying and Yang You were sitting in the Xicheng Bingma Division, listening to the news that the people below kept bringing back.

The police officers in Wanda County are responsible for receiving the prisoners who have been arrested.

Zhou Siwu walked in from the outside.

"Second Master, Wang Ye, something happened."

"What's going on?" Jia Ying's face was calm, as if she had expected that it would not go so smoothly.

Zhou Siwu replied: "Someone came forward to say hello, and we need to save a few places we have marked. It seems that the person looks like he has a lot of background, and there are more than one. There are still a few places that are blocked by the embroidered clothes guards." We are on the way out, we are not allowed to do anything."

Jia Ying and Yang You looked at each other, and asked Zhou Siwu, "How's the progress?"

"Nine squares in the central city, the six squares have been suppressed; the seven squares in the west city still have Xianyi square; the north city and the east city, except for those who have been saved, have basically been suppressed, and the south city has not had time to do it yet."

Jia Ying nodded and said: "Someone came forward to protect them, just send someone to watch them, warn them, and lie down obediently in the nest, if they dare to occupy the territory in silence, don't blame Bingma Si for being ruthless."

Yang You also interjected, "Let Li Ping go with her, so that no one will know what to do."

Yang You did this to share the hatred with Jia Ying.

He is the emperor's nephew, and he is in charge of the patrol battalion. Even among the royal children, there are few people with power comparable to the Suzhong Palace. If his people come forward, as long as the other party is not stupid, they will not mess around.

"Did the principals of those families agree?" Jia Ying asked again.

Zhou Siwu nodded and replied, "They dare not refuse."

Jia Ying nodded and said, "Go, the outer city is the most chaotic, don't be left behind, and try to settle everything before dawn."

Zhou Siwu left.

Yang You was a little curious as to which ones Jia Ying mentioned, but Jia Ying didn't say so, and he didn't ask further.

Although Yang You was out of tune, he was not stupid.

Jia Ying is still different from himself. Suzhong Prince's Mansion has reached its peak. In two or three generations, as long as Suzhong's lineage keeps safe, he will be a county king at the last time. After that, Yang You can't control so much.

After all, Jia Ying is a minister, so it is normal to do something for herself.

As a friend, he wouldn't ask.

And Jia Ying asked this matter in front of him, which means that he never thought of hiding it from himself, but the identities of the two are different, some things are better not to be said.

"After tonight, the two of us have offended all the nobles in the court. It doesn't matter to me, Jia Ying, what do you think?" Yang You asked curiously.

Jia Ying rolled her eyes back: "Didn't you pull me to join forces to deal with Xiuyiwei? If you don't twist Bingma Si into a single rope, how can you meet Xiuyiwei?"

"Come on, what kind of temper do you have, the Lord doesn't know? If you didn't intend it yourself, who would be able to influence you." Yang You sneered.

Jia Ying smiled lightly and said, "As for the matter of fish and bear's paws, as a prince, you may not understand the difficulties of being a courtier, and what is often placed in front of you is usually limited multiple-choice questions."

"If it were you, I'm so young, what would you do?"

"You really don't think of me as an outsider." Yang You pouted, and didn't say anything more.

Jia Ying smiled and said nothing.

According to Yang You's temperament, their friendship can last for a long time.
Who knows.

People must learn to create more opportunities within limited choices.

At the fifth watch, the capital had basically calmed down, only the outer city was left, and there were sporadic fights. There were nearly 2000 people who were captured by soldiers, horses and patrol battalions, and they were not considered dead. and those who were rescued.

With so many people, the Bing Ma Si and the big bosses of the patrol battalion can't lock them up. Even if the prisons in the two counties of Wanda and the criminal department of Dali Temple in Shuntian Prefecture are all vacated, it is enough.

Jia Ying didn't intend to put these people in jail, but set up a camp outside the city. The prisoners were tied together with a long rope by the soldiers and locked up.

He still has great use for these people.

Outside the Fengtian Gate, all the officials have already begun to wait for the start of the new court meeting.

However, the atmosphere in the train today is a bit active. Everyone is talking about what happened last night. Since the Huns returned from defeat, the officials have had no new talk for a long time.

Hearing that it was caused by the Bing Ma Si, the censors of the Inspectorate couldn't sit still, they were filled with righteous indignation, and lashed out at Jia Ying. If there is no endorsement from the Ministry of War, then Jia Ying will not be able to get rid of the crime of mobilizing the army without authorization.

As for Yang You, he was automatically ignored by everyone.

It's just a young prince, as long as the emperor is alive, there will be no disturbances.

What is this for?Rebel?
Of course not.

But this does not prevent the censors from using this as an excuse. Of course, it is not known whether there is any instigation by someone with a heart.

However, there was a voice Jia Ying was familiar with in the inspector's train.

Feng Jicai.

It's a pity that Jia Ying is no longer there, otherwise he might doubt whether the path he chose was wrong.

He fought life and death in the front, and he was just a member of the military department, but Feng Jicai didn't need him to slow down at all, and now he has quietly entered the Inspectorate.

In the Daqian Dynasty, as long as the position bears the word Yushi, they are all eligible to go to the court. This is a gift from Emperor Taizu to the officials.

At this moment, Feng Jicai could be said to be proud of his spring breeze. Hearing the word Jia Ying from the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without showing any traces. Jealousy and schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, but he hid it very well.

Fu Donglai and Feng Hengshi stood side by side in front of the train. When they walked all the way from the end of the train, they were often stared at by officials. Now, everyone knows that Jia Ying is Feng Hengshi's student, and he and Fu Donglai Lai has a close relationship, and many people speculate whether the two will make some waves by joining forces.

Even Yang Jing and Zhou Quan couldn't avoid asking them.

The first assistant, Li Endi, still looked calm, as stable as an old dog.

Fu Donglai frowned as he listened to the discussion around him. Jia Ying made such a big commotion, which was something he had never expected.

After Jia Ying returned to Beijing, it seemed that she hadn't visited her yet.

Fu Donglai looked at Feng Hengshi next to him. Feng Hengshi's eyes were a little worried, but it was just a little worried.

His student is not the kind of reckless and reckless person.

To Fu Donglai's gaze, Feng Hengshi just returned a calm look.

Both of them are not fools, since Jia Ying's actions have nothing to do with them, it can only be
What's more, in the eyes of the two, there was nothing wrong with Jia Ying's actions. Isn't it the responsibility of the soldiers and horses to catch thieves?Those scum and scum, it's better to clean them up earlier, so as not to harm the people.

Yan Huasong was in a lot of trouble. The Bingma Division did not greet the Ministry of War in advance. Facing the questioning of the officials, Yan Huasong could only continue to deal vaguely, and at the same time he was a little annoyed.

Not to Jia Ying, but to Baiguan.

Not to mention that he himself is already on Fu Donglai's side, anyway, he is also the minister of the Ministry of War and Jia Ying's fellow teacher. When did a censor dare to question a hall official face to face?

When he is strict, does someone have no temper?
Isn't it just an endorsement? Do you really think that Jia Ying is a fool who doesn't think about the consequences before doing something?The youngest Tanhualang since the establishment of the dynasty, will you?
Someone Yan will play with you.

Squeak!

The gate of the palace opens, and all officials enter the court.

Regarding what happened last night, Jiade seemed to be ignorant of what happened, and started a new morning as usual.

"Your Majesty goes to court, and there is a book to play."

Just as Dai Quan's words fell, a censor from the Inspectorate stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

"speak."

"Wailang Jia Ying, a member of the military department, mobilized troops without authorization. He is suspected of treason. Your Majesty, please punish Jia Ying."

Jia De was stunned for a moment, and pushed aside the crown, trying to see who the speaker was.

Is this going to kill Jia Ying?
Feng Hengshi glanced at the man, then glanced in the direction of Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, and the other party returned a helpless look.

Feng Hengshi was born as the imperial censor. Although he was demoted to Nanjing for several years, his prestige in the Inspectorate is still very high. Many of them were his former subordinates.

He also understands that the Inspectorate is like a stinking puddle, there are all kinds of people, and it is difficult for Zuodu Yushi to twist the Inspectorate into a single rope.

It's just that this censor is too
This is trying to show off, want to go crazy?
Not to mention him, even Feng Jicai at the side thought it was funny, he was really a teammate like a pig.

Impeachment is not such a method of impeachment.

"Oh, Aiqing said that Jia Ying mobilized the army without authorization. I remember that the Beijing camp seems to be out of Jia Ying's control. Where did he get the soldier talisman to mobilize the army?"

Hearing Jia De's words, some of the officials showed a look of surprise, and then frowned again. What is the purpose of His Majesty doing this?

But the censor said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Jia Ying mobilized soldiers from the Wucheng Bingma Division, thousands of them."

Jia De didn't speak, but Feng Hengshi gave Yan Huasong a wink.

Yan Huasong immediately took over, looked at the censor and said, "I'm afraid Yang Yushi hasn't figured it out yet. The Wucheng Bingma Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Jia Ying is the admiral of the Wucheng Bingma Division. How can he say that he did it without authorization?" How about deploying troops? What's more, the soldiers and horses are responsible for the security of the capital, and Jia Ying mobilizes the soldiers to arrest the thieves.

The censor was stunned, and then he argued: "Master Yan, even if it is to arrest thieves, the soldiers and horses have divisions of jurisdiction. There is no need to transfer all the soldiers and horses of the fifth division to the inner city, let alone the soldiers and horses. Isn’t it true that such a big move was not reported to the Ministry of War.”

"Who told you that Jia Ying didn't report?"

The censor surnamed Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that it was Shangshu of the Ministry of War who was confronting him.

He looked at one place intentionally or unintentionally, and said with surprise: "It's not from the Ministry of War."

"Ahem." A colleague from the Inspectorate suddenly coughed.

The censor surnamed Yang realized it and hurriedly shut up.

Yan Huasong smiled blankly, turned to Jiade on the dragon chair and said, "Your Majesty, recently the officials have impeached Bingmasi for not doing anything, and let the law and order in the capital be chaotic. , arresting the bandits is a duty, and Jia Ying had reported this matter to the minister beforehand."

Jiade nodded, looked at Yushi Yang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Do you have anything to say, Aiqing?"

The censor surnamed Yang was speechless.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

The ones who came out at this moment were officials from the Ministry of Punishment.

"Your Majesty, it is true that Jia Ying arrested the bandits, but it disturbed the public order in the capital, and it is also true that he killed innocent people indiscriminately. I have heard that hundreds of people died under the swords of soldiers and horses last night alone. I want to impeach Jia Ying for such a large-scale killing. Your Majesty, please judge clearly the crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"What do you mistresses think?" Jia De asked everyone.

Feng Hengshi stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, since it is impeachment, shouldn't Jia Yingting be summoned to argue?"

Jia De nodded and said, "That's right, then call Jia Ying into the palace immediately."

Feng Hengshi said again: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to call Jia Ying into the palace at this time. First, what happened last night was caused by Jia Ying's soldiers and horses, and the troops have not been withdrawn yet. Furthermore, I heard that last night the soldiers and horses arrested Many important criminals have been arrested, and several of them have been registered with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If Jia Ying is recalled at this time, there will be no one to take charge of the overall situation."

Jiade followed the good example: "In this case, then pass an order to Jia Ying to let him handle the aftermath properly, and then write a self-defense book."

"The slave is leading the order." Dai Quan said from the side.

Jia Ying is currently in the Zhongcheng Bingmasi not far from the imperial palace, listening to his subordinates report on last night's harvest with Yang You.

"Destroyed 26 gang strongholds, 35 Yahang casinos, captured more than 72 criminals, rescued 46 children, 21 women, confiscated 23 taels of gold and silver, and twelve boxes of jewelry. A number of jade and porcelain wares. [-] soldiers died in battle, [-] wounded and various accounts.”

After hearing this, Yang You said dissatisfiedly, "I worked all night and looted most of the capital, so I got so little money?"

"Are you short of that little silver? Also, you made a mistake. It's 16 taels, and there's still 5 taels of silver that I'm worried about. This money is in Yunji's public account, and it needs to be returned. Seeing Yang You's appearance as a money fan, Jia Ying was speechless, you are a prince, shouldn't you care about other things?

Yang You teased and said, "I think you look like a miser, isn't it 5 taels of silver? As for always talking about it."

Jia Ying didn't bother to talk to him, it wasn't your money, so of course you didn't care.

Zhou Siwu looked at the bickering two people, and said: "Second Master, Wang Ye, those gangs have their own special place to store silver, and they haven't had time to get it. In addition, there are some silver bills that have not been recorded."

Yang You's eyes lit up: "How many?"

"About 7 to [-] taels. As for the hidden ones, I don't know. I haven't sent anyone to look."

Yang Youle laughed and said, "Old Zhou, I didn't realize that you are still a good accountant."

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Ying, and said casually: "Those people can't be kept alive, let's kill them."

This sentence, Yang You didn't feel burdened at all, he was not a good person anyway.

Unexpectedly, Jia Ying shook her head.

"It's still useful if you keep them. They are all good coolies. If you want money, they will keep earning money for you."

"Make money? How do you make money?"

Jia Ying bought a pass and said, "I'll tell you when the matter is finalized."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Siwu and said, "Uncle Wu, go and inform the officials to sort out the confessions of those people, which will be useful in the future. Also, take out 5 taels of silver and give it to the soldiers and horses and the patrol The brothers in the battalion are divided into one share, and those who died in battle and those who were injured will be given more pension money and sent to their families, and the two counties of Wanda have also contributed a lot, so don't leave them behind."

"What are you going to do for them?" Yang You asked reluctantly.

Jia Ying looked at him and said, "It's a good relationship now, and it will be useful in the future."

"what's next?"

"Zhang Bang."

"What list is there?"

"Of course it's the list of the soldiers and horses. The people in the capital are often harmed by these people. It's just that no one stood up for them in the past. In the name of the patrol battalion and the soldiers and horses, the two of Wanda and Ma can also be killed." The county has also been brought in to set up a list for the common people, to avenge grievances, to avenge vengeance, if we make such a big commotion, we must come up with an explanation."

Yang You nodded.

In the eyes of the common people, the former Patrol Battalion and Bingma Division were no different from those blue-skinned rascals, the only difference being that they had official endorsements.

If you want to do something, you have to start with a facelift, and let the people know that today's patrol battalion is different from Bingmasi.

When the common people trust, the soldiers will have a sense of honor and energy in their hearts, so that the ropes twisted into one strand will not be easy to loosen.

This kind of thing is similar to leading soldiers.

The enrichment of the spiritual world is very important to soldiers, because that will become the belief they hold in their hearts.It's just that people nowadays don't have an intuitive definition and concept of the spiritual world.But it is undeniable that it already exists, especially in the barracks.

Bing Ma Si is very important to Jia Ying, this is the only armed force he has in Beijing that can always be put on the table.

He is also not sure whether he can always master this army, so if he wants to hold these people in his hands, he must give him a change from beginning to end, so that they will never forget it forever, and let the army and horse deeply. Put your own stamp on it.

Of course, this is not something that can be done in a day or two, and some means are needed.

Official office, this unpopular but indispensable job for soldiers and horses, became Jia Ying's ultimate goal.

take it easy.
