Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 195 The prince is not conferred lightly, killing people is nothing more than nodding! (reward plus more)

"King Zheng, do you have no confidence in yourself? Or do you have no confidence in your heirs?"

"I will give the clan a wider stage."

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

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling not to continue.

There was a lot of crying in the clan.

King Zheng dared not speak.

King Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, can you let the clan stay in the capital for a few years..."

"King Zhou."

"Why do you talk so much?"

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

The king of Zhou didn't expect the emperor to change his face when he said that he would change his face, so he quickly kowtowed: "I don't dare, I'm just worried about my blood brothers, and I also think about your majesty's holy name..."

"As long as you are worried about the blood brother, don't I worry about it?"

Zhu Qiyu sternly shouted: "I think you are old and confused!"

"Pass an order to patrol the arresting camp to investigate the Gong family, the Shi family, the Ou family, the Chen family, the Zhang family, the Han family, and the Li family!"

"Look at the king of Zhou, if he's not clean!"

King Zhou's expression changed drastically.

The emperor was referring to the mother clan of his wives and concubines.

If you really want to investigate, which official in the DPRK will carry out such an investigation?Even if you check Yu Qian's family, you can find shit.

"Please Your Majesty!" Zhou Wang kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Forgive me for what?"

"You are the king of Zhou who is upright and straight. You are the head of the clan. What are you afraid of?"

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

"How dare I treat you?"

"Each one speaks eloquently. If I say a word, you have ten thousand words waiting for me!"

"This is not willing, that is not willing!"

"Aside from listening to music, what else do you like?"

Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Ask yourselves, how long have you been in the capital? How long have you been in the Goulan Guild Hall?"

"Do you still need me to call names one by one?"

"I don't want to let you do the right thing, but if I raise you to listen to the music, everyone will be very happy!"

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

"And you, King Zhou!"

"Your ass is not clean, but you help the clan get ahead everywhere!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to be a patriarch, are you crazy?"

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

The king of Zhou was sweating like rain, and regretted standing up for the clan.

He didn't have a son, so what if he was allowed to flood the sky after his death?
But he relied on his own branch to get close to the emperor.

Zhu Huan, the first king of Zhou Dynasty, was the fifth son of Emperor Taizu and was very close to Emperor Taizong.

Therefore, Zhou Wang's lineage is very close to Taizong's lineage.

During the reign of Emperor Renxuan, he was very close to the first king of Zhou.

After Zhu Youdun inherited the Zhou throne, Emperor Xuanzong often wrote to him and treated Zhou Fan exceptionally preferentially.

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

"Wei Chen absolutely dare not have thoughts that he shouldn't have!"

"I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me!"

"I'm just worried about my Zhu clan!"

"Weichen is over half a century old, and still has no sons, and no stepsons. After a hundred years, the throne of Zhou will be vacant. I am ashamed of my late father!"

King Zhou wept and kowtowed.

What he meant was that since I don't have a son, I definitely don't have any wrong thoughts.

"Where is King Qing? What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the obedient King Qing.

King Qing trembled all over: "My ministers are all according to His Majesty's orders!"

Seeing that you are quite sensible.

"Who else has an opinion?"

"speak out!"

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

I will complete you!
The clan kings did not dare to set themselves on fire, so they kowtowed quickly.

"Decree, from today onwards, princes and nobles will not be easily conferred, and those who have not made great contributions to the community cannot be conferred princes and nobles!"

"The emperor's son is born as a county king. Only after he has made great contributions can he be named a prince! The county king does not confer fiefdoms, but he can enter the military aircraft department and refer to the military aircraft for details."

"The son of the county king, the eldest son inherits the throne of the county, and the rest are named generals of the country. The generals of the country can join the supervision department, but the supervision cannot participate in politics."

"The son of the general of the town, the eldest son inherits the position of the general of the town, and the rest are demoted to the general of the auxiliary country. They can receive the royal salary and participate in the affairs of the royal business. They are not allowed to join the government and the army."

"The son of the general of Fuguo, the eldest son inherits the general of Fuguo, and the rest are reduced to common people, and the words of the genealogy are withdrawn. They can be officials and generals. They can participate in the imperial examination, and they are not restricted from business and agriculture."

"General Zhen Guo and General Fu Guo who have made great contributions can regain the county king!"

"This is the ancestral system, and the kings of future generations will obey it, and those who don't listen are not my descendants!"

"have you understood?"

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

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

But we must not give him military power and give him the opportunity to rebel.

He wanted the clan and honored ministers to be integrated into one body, to become the basic board of the king of later generations, and to control the military power.

Therefore, he ordered the king of the county to counsel the military, ordered the general of the town to supervise the officials, and ordered the general of the auxiliary country to engage in business.

There was an uproar in the imperial clan.

The few remaining princes were embarrassed.

In the future, even the sons of the emperor will not be named princes, what are they!
If you are sensible, you will obediently hand over the title of prince.

If you don’t know a person, 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 why the status of the prince is raised is that the prince is not awarded the title.

In fact, I hope that my descendants can go overseas to expand their territories and become overseas emperors.

Therefore, he established that only those who have made great achievements can be named princes, that is to say, only those who have made great achievements overseas can be considered great achievements, so he was named overseas princes and pro-vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor, there is only one Emperor Ming.

Letting go of the restrictions on the clan also meant to check and balance civil servants.

However, he had to guarantee his longevity, otherwise he would die young, and the one who would succeed him would most likely be the clan.

He must domesticate the clan into dogs during his lifetime, seal out those who are capable, and keep those with mediocre abilities in the center to check and balance civil servants and ministers.

But the clan is a knife, all surnamed Zhu, and they all have the possibility of inheriting the great line. If it is not used well, it will hurt others and oneself.

He is also thinking about whether it is a bad move to let the clan enter politics.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give up the title of Prince!"

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

He figured it out, back then he was able to change from the King of Duliang to the King of Jing only because of a word from the emperor.

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

As long as the emperor Laozi understands, there are all kinds of titles.

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment.

No one spoke except King Jing.

"The prince will not be sealed in the future, but it has been sealed in the present age, and remains unchanged."

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

I have made it clear.

My son, if you don't make a prince, you are kind, how can He De be a prince while licking his big face?

Are you nobler than my son?

"Your Majesty Qizuo, this minister is originally the King of Duliang, and his virtue is not worthy. When he was a prince, he was sitting on pins and needles every day. Therefore, please Your Majesty, please change this minister to be the king of the county."

King Jing kowtowed.

After waiting for a long time, no one reached out.

It seems that none of them are willing to be downgraded to be a county king, even if they are asked to enter politics.

"Can the prince be changed at will? Resign!"

Zhu Qiyu is also depressed, I have set up the stage, you don't come up to sing, let me speak alone?
King Jing was surprised.

Looking back at the princes, the princes were all sad, but the county king was happy.

Because the emperor said that the king of the county can enter the military aircraft department to participate in politics, the general of the town can enter the supervisory department, and the general of the auxiliary country can engage in business.

After being in the capital for so long, everyone knows what the Military Aircraft Department does. It is a great thing to be able to join the Military Aircraft Department as the Minister of Military Aircraft.

The clan were beaming.

Of course the prince didn't want to.

From the most honorable prince to the secondary county king.

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

But starting from the king of the county, there are three levels, the king of the county, the general of the town, and the general of the auxiliary country are gone.

The most important thing is that the emperor is not trustworthy!
Let you participate in politics today, and when Daming loses its prince, the emperor will turn his back on him 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 at all!

How many times have the kings been deceived by him?

Still trying to lie to us?
no way!

Outside the Fengtian Gate, the atmosphere became tense.

outside the palace.

Cao Jixiang checked all the kings of Ningfan.

However, he received an imperial decree ordering him to investigate Zhou Fan.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Cao Jixiang rode his horse to Gong Shao's mansion.

Kick the door directly.

Gong Shao is the younger brother of the princess of Zhou.

Later, because her sister married into the palace as a follow-up, she was named the commander of the guard.

Gongfu opened the door.

When Gong Shao appeared at the door, he smelled a stench first, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said cautiously: "My lord, what is your business when you come to the humble house?"

Cao Jixiang sized him up.

Although he is a military officer, he still wears a Confucian shirt. He usually doesn't like to socialize with military officers. Instead, he recruits some Confucian scholars to recite poems and paint paintings in the mansion.

Cao Jixiang went straight in.

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

"My lord, what exactly do you want to investigate?" Gong Shao asked.

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

Gong Shao nodded.

But the imperial decree didn't say, let all my family members show up, right?
Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped across the face: "Then don't you know what the governor wants to investigate? To investigate the rebels! Are you a rebel?"

"I'm not an official!" Gong Shao was beaten.

"Then hurry up and call people over!" Cao Jixiang yelled.

Gong Shao rubbed his face, hurriedly dispatched his servants, and summoned all his family members.

"My lord, it's inconvenient for the female relatives to see guests..."

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

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

Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped him again: "The governor has no time to talk nonsense with you, so if you say something more, you can go to the patrol camp and be sentenced to prison!"

Gong Shao endured the pain and could only let someone call him.

Although his family is the concubine's relatives, but in the capital, he has to suffer.

But King Zhou is special.

After Taizong's lineage inherited the Datong, they treated Zhou Wang's lineage very preferentially, and the reason was also special.

Cao Jixiang sat on a chair.

Gong Shao stood aside and did not serve tea, which is very rude.

Fang Xing received Cao Jixiang's wink.

Walking out of the main hall, he pulled out his waist knife, and directly knocked over a servant: "Hurry up! The battalion governor has no time to waste time with you! No matter how much you talk, I'll kill them all!"

When Gong Shao saw the blood, he was startled: "Sir, how can you kill people at will?"

"kill?"

Cao Jixiang looked at him: "Did this governor kill someone? A mere servant, are they human? Do you treat them as human beings? Huh?"

Gong Shao was speechless.

Daming had no slave status, so there were a group of godsons and goddaughters who changed the soup but not the medicine.

"The governor will give you half a cup of tea. If there are not enough people, those who don't come will be executed!"

Cao Jixiang said coldly.

"My lord, my sister is Princess Zhou. It's fine for you to bully Goodness. My Gong Mansion is not a place where everyone can behave wildly!"

The clay figurine also has three points of anger.

Gong Shao fled.

But Cao Jixiang stood up slowly: "Then you know that King Jingzhou and King Ning have conspired against each other, and they have already been put to death!"

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

"Do you think His Majesty's imperial decree is bigger, or the gate of the Zhou Palace?"

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

Muttering to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Gong Shao, don't think that you can look down on eunuchs just by reading sage books for a few days!"

"In Bendu's eyes, you are just a little ant!"

"Squeeze to death as much as you want!"

Eunuchs are small minded!
If you look at me, if you don't show me tea, it's all a sin!
Even if Gong Shao is innocent, Cao Jixiang has already marked him with a cross.

He will die worse than Yu Xiang!
"Forgive me, my lord! Your words and deeds are meaningless, please forgive me, my lord!"

Gong Shao knelt down immediately: "Housekeeper, hurry up and show your lord some tea!"

"The governor doesn't like to drink tea." Cao Jixiang didn't drink the tea that was served later!

Gong Shao nodded foolishly, he really believed it.

It was almost time, Cao Jixiang walked out of the inner hall.

The Gong family was quite agile, and they all appeared in the courtyard.

The torches burned brightly, illuminating the entire courtyard.

"Women don't have to shrink back. I'm not a devil, I won't do anything to you!"

Cao Jixiang glanced around and found a few well-dressed literati dressed up, and asked: "Are those literati your family?"

Gong Shao swallowed his mouth and said in a low voice, "It's a friend of the lower official."

"friend?"

Cao Jixiang frowned: "Your Majesty's decree orders everyone to go back to their homes, not to stay, and those who take them will be punished."

"You treat the imperial decree as nothing?"

Gong Shao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and quickly kowtowed: "Your Excellency, listen to the official's explanation. These people are all scholars from other places and have no residence in Beijing, so they temporarily stay at the official's home."

Cao Jixiang began to doubt: "Outside literati?"

"When did you arrive at your house?"

Gong Shao shrank his head: "He entered Beijing with the officials."

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

"On the way to Beijing!"

Cao Jixiang ordered several 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.

"Which year did you become a Jinshi?"

"Students are scholars!" Li You replied.

"Scholarly?"

Cao Jixiang took a torch, walked over, and illuminated his face with the torch: "I'm not a local with an accent, where is it?"

"He's from Southern Zhili, and he came to visit Beijing." Gong Shao answered for him.

"play?"

"Then why stay at your house temporarily?"

Cao Jixiang approached him, smelled the smell of alcohol, looked back at Gong Shao: "drink tonight?"

"No!" Gong Shao replied.

"I didn't drink, where did the alcohol come from?"

Cao Jixiang frowned: "Did he go out?"

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

"Gong Shao, has he always been at your house? Did he suddenly disappear?" Cao Jixiang was suspicious.

"My lord, I really don't know!" Gong Shao shook his head.

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

Cao Jixiang threatened him: "If you don't tell me, the governor will have one of your fingers chopped off! Seriously!"

Li You talked about reciting poems and painting.

"Just reciting poems and painting? Take out your poems and show them to the governor." Cao Jixiang felt that these literati were strange.

Scholars who come to Beijing to play, don't prepare for the country test at home, what is there to play?

It doesn't look like a wealthy family by looking at the clothes, otherwise I wouldn't stay 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 bit: "Take it seriously!"

"Returning to my lord, it's more about letting go." Li You replied cautiously.

Cao Jixiang looked at Gong Shao sharply.

Gong Shao's wife also looked at him.

"Just, just continue to discuss the poems. Although Xiaguan is a military officer, he has won the Juren and likes to read poems." Gong Shao asked for compensation.

Cao Jixiang suddenly asked: "I heard the folded willow on the flute, take it."

Gong Shao was dumbfounded: "Please repeat, my lord."

"I heard the folded willow on the flute, what's the next sentence?"

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

"You don't know Li Taibai's familiar poems? What kind of book are you reading? Silver book!"

Cao Jixiang sternly shouted: "It's not true!"

Seeing that Gong Shao couldn't hide it anymore, he cried and said: "My lord, my lord does have such a little bit of a hobby..."

The blade rested on Gong Shao's neck.

"The governor is not interested in hearing your crap!"

Cao Jixiang glanced around: "Tell me, did these people disappear suddenly and then reappear suddenly?"

With the cold blade resting on his neck, Gong Shao didn't dare to hide it: "I did."

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

In the end, Fang Xing knocked them over, and directly tied up several people with ropes.

Gong Shao was dumbfounded.

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

Gong Shao said: "At that time, the officials thought they were pitiful, so they brought them into the mansion... ah!"

Cao Jixiang pressed the blade into the skin.

"The governor doesn't want to listen to nonsense!"

"They like to drink, they like to go to pubs and drink, sometimes they come back very drunk, sometimes they come back the next day!"

Gong Shao was frightened: "Let's pretend that I don't know, after all, there are not many literati who are willing to go wild with Xiaguan..."

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

"Not often, basically once every ten days."

These few people should not be literati.

Instead go out and connect.

Related to the people in the basement.

But why are they hiding in Gong Shao's mansion?
I have to endure Gong Shao's little hobbies.

"Didn't you find that there was something wrong with these people?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Gong Shao cried and said, "My lord, let me tell you the truth!"

"The juren of the lower officials came through operation!"

"Xiaguan likes to recite poems and paint pictures, but he can't read poems. He just makes up a few bad poems with the help of alcohol!"

"They like to flatter the lower officials, and the lower officials like to listen!"

"Those serious literati in the guild hall look down on me."

"My family is not a wealthy family, nor is it a dignitary in the court. I have a few friends who are willing to be arty, and the officials are already satisfied."

"Pooh!"

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

However, this kind of thing is really elegant, and it has been passed down from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited it, but repeated it repeatedly.

Gong Shao burst into tears.

"Why do you stick to such a thing?" Cao Jixiang looked at Li You.

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

Li You and 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 dumbfounded, how would I know!You go ask them!

"The governor asked you, think about it, what attracts them?" Cao Jixiang asked.

"Maybe, they are also like-minded people? Ah!"

Gong Shao screamed.

The blade pressed into the back of his neck, and blood spurted out.

"If you keep talking, Bendu 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 either!"

"miss you!"

"I can't figure it out!" Gong Shao cried loudly.

Cao Jixiang gave Fang Xing a wink.

Fang Xing dragged out a man and put the knife on his neck: "If you can't figure it out, I will kill one in a second! Until you figure it out!"

puff!
He cut one first.

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

"I really don't know!"

puff!
Gong Shao's son died.

After a while, Fang Xing killed one person, and he didn't lie.

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

Cao Jixiang waved his hand, always wanting to leave a glimmer of hope for others.

"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 against my pig iron!"

Cao Jixiang froze for a moment: "What did you say? Pig iron? Smuggling?"

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

The mine he was talking about was the mine of Zhou Wangfu, which was rewarded by the emperor.

"Where are you in the capital?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Gong Shao said: "Recently, the price of capital iron is relatively high, so I asked my staff to transport it from Henan and sell it on the black market."

This is a kill business.

The mines rewarded to the princes and ministers were purchased by the court, and no one was allowed to sell them 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 speak anymore, he bumped into Cao Jixiang's murderous eyes.

Chaotang is extremely sensitive to iron.

In the three battles in Mobei, Wala and Tatar, the soldiers and equipment were not bad at all.The emperor couldn't figure out how the ironware flowed into Mobei.

This time I found it!
Gong Shao's so-called black market is that the group in the basement is recycling.

After switching the package, send the standard ordnance to Mobei and sell it at a high price.

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

Good business!

"It can be subcontracted to your home, but selling it is illegal!"

"You, Gong Shao, are juren."

"Do you know?"

Cao Jixiang waved his hand and ordered the Gong family to be killed!
"Sir, forgive me!"

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

Cao Jixiang smiled: "The governor is helping you."

"You will be even worse if you enter the imperial prison."

"Don't you know where the iron will go?"

"On this case, King Zhou must 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 you were helping me, you Cao Jixiang is a devil!
"That's Emperor Taizong's award... Ugh!"

Gong Shao's head rolled to the ground.

Cao Jixiang showed a fierce look on his face: "Emperor Taizong is wise and powerful, are you waiting for villains to talk about it?"

If Gong Shao didn't mention Emperor Taizong.

Maybe there is still a chance of survival.

Who asked him to seek death by himself, saying that the mine was rewarded by Emperor Taizong to King Zhou? Do you want to say that Emperor Taizong has no eyes?
"Have you dealt with everything?" Cao Jixiang looked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing quickly knelt on the ground: "All died."

"Put a seal on it and keep the two brothers here."

Cao Jixiang let out a foul breath: "Send the news to Fan Qing."

Let people send Li You and the others to prison for strict trial.

These people were in Gong Shao's mansion, and they should have learned about the sales of pig iron in Gong Shao's house in detail.

"Yingdu, why do we have to help the people of Dongchang?" Tang Xian asked.

"Remember, the emperor is waiting anxiously in the palace, and the factory guards patrolling and arresting camps are all serving the emperor!"

"The emperor is watching what we do."

"No infighting."

Cao Jixiang knew very well that the city gate could not be closed for a long time.

The emperor should be equal to modesty.

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

Therefore, there is not much time left for him.

The emperor wants to rectify the king of Zhou.

Is it just to rectify a Zhou king?

Aren't the kings of Qin, Shu, Tang, Qing, Zheng, Jing, Zhao, etc. the emperor's goal?
"Fang Xing, Tang Xian!"

Cao Jixiang made a decision: "You two, each lead a team, Tang Xian is in charge of checking merchants, and Fang Xing is in charge of Zhou Wang's in-laws."

"Mark the order!"

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

More than that, Cao Jixiang will continue to split up, divide the troops into multiple channels, and proceed at the same time, everything must be fast.

The information was collected in Fan Qing's hands.

Fan Qing is already outside the city.

In the basement, he found the exit and followed it all the way.

"The pig iron comes from mines outside Beijing?"

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

"Where will the repackaged ordnance be sent?"

Lu Gao led Tiqi to help out: "Master Fan, I believe that the most urgent task is to catch these people."

He is eager to do meritorious service.

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

Lu Gao didn't understand.

"They don't dare to walk in the wilderness like this." Fan Qing led the Dongchang fans, although they didn't have horses, they were all fat and strong.

They also suffer from night blindness, but to a lesser degree.

Those from Mud Legs all suffer from night blindness, unable to see at night.

At the same time, there are wild animals and bandits outside the city.

It is very unsafe to walk at night.

Lu Gao made it clear: "Master Fan, what you mean is that this group of people has a foothold outside the city?"

"Bring the map!"

"Torches!"

By the light of the torch, he looked at the village outside the Anding Gate outside Beijing.

"Which village do you suspect this group of people are hiding in?"

Fan Qing shook his head: "I suspect that certain villages are all strongholds of these people!"

"The ordnance they transferred from the Beijing camp."

"Needs to be shipped, sold."

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

"The place needs to be big so that no one can doubt it."

"We came out of the tunnel, and the road was calm, and the group of people disappeared without a trace, which just shows that they are nearby."

Fan Qing didn't panic at all.

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

In Dali Temple, there is a god named Zhou Xuan, which is famous in the capital.

They talked as they walked.

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

"Mobei!"

Fan Qing spit out two words coldly.

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

Fan Qing was about to speak.

call out!
An arrow pierced through the air.

Fan Qing threw Lu Gao down with the fastest speed, and shouted at the same time: "Enemy attack! Get down!"

Lu Gao subconsciously wants to overthrow Fan Qing.

The enemy attack was discovered with hindsight.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

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

"Don't panic!"

Lu Gao drew out his waist knife, lay down on the ground, and put his ears on the ground: "It's in the northeast!"

call out!
As soon as the words were finished, an arrow came looking for the sound.

Lu Gao's side.

The arrow hit the ground, and he escaped unharmed.

"How are you sure?" Fan Qing asked.

"Trust me that's right!"

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

Dongchang and Tiqi are not 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 be favored by His Majesty, and if he wanted to stand out, he simply risked his life to win.

Lu Gao is in the 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 contributions.

"Ambush?" Lu Gao asked.

"No, it's the police posts. We've found them."

Fan Qing recalled the map: "Which village is this?"

"Fangjiazhuang." Lu Gao remembered clearly.

"This Fangjiazhuang is one of the strongholds."

Fan Qing was sure.

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

"Take care of this first!" Fan Qing regretted that he should have borrowed a few people from the horse-raising army and brought along crossbowmen and musketeers.

He didn't expect that, as he walked, he walked into someone's house.

Lu Gao pointed to the front.

just in front.

Fan Qing took a sneak peek, his vision was very blurred, but it seemed like there was a small tree.

"Behind the tree!" Fan Qing was ambiguous.

Lu Gao couldn't care so much anymore.

The hand holding the knife was full of sweat.

He first gained momentum, and then rushed out desperately.

Cut it with a knife.

The crossbowman, belatedly aware of the danger, immediately activated the crossbow.

Lu Gao snorted.

But the crossbowman fell to the ground.

The blade followed his head, splitting him in half.

"Injured?" Fan Qing came over.

"Stop rambling, take the crossbow and find a tree to hide from!"

Lu Gao got an arrow in his stomach.

But it's worth it, kill a crossbowman and get a crossbow.

Fan Qing took the quiver from the man.

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

At the same time, whistles sounded from a parallel direction.

Like a password.

Fan Qing and Lu Gao looked at each other, neither of them knew.

"Direction!" Fan Qing asked Lu Gao.

"I'm a dog, let me listen to everything!"

Lu Gao listened.

Pointing in a direction.

Fan Qing could only shoot blindly.

According to the position of the previous crossbowman, shoot another one.

call out!
After confirming again and again, Fan Qing activated the crossbow.

Run after shooting.

"Grandma, bring me with you!" Lu Gao was anxious.

Fan Qing's arrow should have hit the target.

But only the crossbowman was injured, and the crossbowman was furious and shot arrows in this direction.

"what!"

Lu Gao screamed again, and was shot in the leg.

Fortunately, Fan Qing changed his position.

"Damn it, you don't die as a poor Taoist, right?" Lu Gao was furious.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, after completing the task, my brother will treat you to a drink."

They are equal.

Call each other adults.

"Bah, I took this arrow for you, just drink a meal of wine, wouldn't I be at a loss?" Lu Gao said in a bold tone, which was easy to win people's favor.

"The wine for a lifetime, brother!" Fan Qing said with a smile.

"That's a deal?"

Lu Gao was flattering Fan Qing.

After tomorrow, Fan Qing may skyrocket.

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

"deal!"

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

It's dark, and he can't see clearly.

It's all about feel.

As a result, he was lucky, and the crossbowman was killed.

"More people are coming!" Lu Gao gasped.

"I knew it was daytime!"

A good officer and army turned out to be only one crossbow and two people.

"withdraw!"

Fan Qing picked up Lu Gao.

Run back quickly.

There should be only two police posts in this village.

"Brothers, retreat!"

Fan Qing was sure he couldn't afford to offend him. When he first opened the basement, the gang of thieves were extremely vicious. They ran into each other in the middle of the night.

"and many more!"

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

"What's wrong?" Fan Qing asked.

"It sounds like a large number of cavalry are coming!" Lu Gao put his ears on the ground and listened carefully.

Fan Qing also got down and listened, there was really a sound of horseshoes.

They looked at each other, it was the Henan army!

"The Henan Army should enter Beijing through Chaoyang Gate, why did they go around Anding Gate?" Fan Qing frowned.

They heard the cavalry.

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

The sound of hooves became more and more clear.

Getting closer and closer, I saw a knight, wearing armor, leading a group of cavalry, galloping in this direction at the fastest speed.

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

"It doesn't look like a Han!" Lu Gao said suddenly.

Fan Qing was surprised.

"I smell a mutton smell."

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

"It doesn't matter who it is, it must be an officer who gallops so fast outside Beijing in the middle of the night." Fan Qing gave Xiao Wu a wink.

Let Xiao Wu lead the cavalry in this direction.

After a while.

The cavalry is getting closer and closer. The leading knight is in armor and has superb riding skills.

Suddenly, he pulled the reins, and the horse neighed. He turned over and jumped off, and clasped his fists at Fan Qing, but opened his mouth in broken Chinese: "This general is Ah Jin."

Ah Jin?

Fan Qing had never heard of this name.

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

Although they are collectively called the army, they will be divided into individual guards when they reach the locality. During wartime, each guard will form the Henan Army.

As a result, the three were at the same level.

"General Ajin is a naturalized Mongol?" Fan Qing understood a little bit, the Henan Army had died a bit, and selected elites from the captives to fill the Henan Army.

"I am a Han Chinese!"

Satisfied, Ah Jin pointed to the army behind him: "We are all Han Chinese!"

But they all hold machetes and can't speak Chinese.

After a simple exchange.

Fan Qing learned that A Jin led 1000 people to Andingmen to help Fan Qing.

"The gang of thieves are in Fangjiazhuang, please General Ajin to level this village for us!" Fan Qing cupped his hands.

"Do you dare not obey?"

Ah Jin got on his horse.

He likes Tucun the most. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen when he was naturalized and joined the Ming army.

"Wait, try not to kill people." Lu Gao said.

A Jin frowned and looked at Fan Qing.

"This is Tiqi's deputy commander, Lu Gao."

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

"All right!"

Ah Jin was very helpless.

With a gesture, the cavalry entered the village directly.

The arrows shot from the opposite side couldn't penetrate the armor at all.

Ah Jin and others quickly entered the village.

"This riding skill..."

Lu Gao said in a dumb voice, "No wonder Duke Xing couldn't bear to kill them. This riding skill is also one of the best in the Ming army, but the riding skills of the Mobei people are so superb. If we give them elite equipment, we really can't beat them. "

Fan Qing nodded silently.

In front of the cavalry, the gang of thieves were chickens and dogs.

In half an hour, the problem was solved.

A Jin sent someone to tell Fan Qing, and they were all caught.

Fan Qing quickly entered the village.

I saw that the window lattice was full of arrows.

Cavalry are collecting arrows.

Apparently, when Ah Jin fought, he drove them away with arrows, covered them indiscriminately, and then drove his horses into the village. He rode on a war horse and used long weapons against short weapons, just like adults bullying children.

Killed a hundred people.

There are hundreds more alive.

Fan Qing had everyone tied up, and then searched the whole village.

Ah Jin originally wanted to make a lot of money. The reason why people fight with their lives is to make money. They spend money very fiercely, and they have to risk their lives to make money.

But Fan Qing secretly handed over a bank note, 1 taels.

Ah Jin left satisfied.

"My lord, why do you still have to give him money?" Xiao Wu was annoyed.

That group of alien cavalry looked down on them very much.

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

"Sophisticated."

Fan Qing patted him on the shoulder: "You will understand when you grow up, Xiao Wu, you are still injured, don't work so hard, your body is important."

Xiao Wu is not angry.

Fan Qing started the interrogation.

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

"Damn, pull them all out, I'm going to be killed!" Lu Gao gasped.

Fan Qing didn't bother to talk to him.

Find an empty field and catch everyone.

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

No one cares about him.

Fan Qing smiled, then took out the knife and slashed.

Torturing people, who wouldn't.

"Guys, give 'em some hard work."

The Dongchang fanzi will torture people, and so will the Ti cavalry.

Soon, someone spit out.

"It's none of my business. I'm just a craftsman. I don't care about anything!" An old man was frightened when he saw the bloody scene.

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

"Yes, it's a blacksmith."

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

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

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

Fan Qing chopped him down with a knife.

"Damn it, don't you think I dare not kill people?"

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

"Your nine clans, do you want to be buried with them?"

"I am the deputy commander of the East Factory!"

"What does the East Factory do, don't you know?"

Everyone stopped.

Fan Qing looked at the old man again: "Say it!"

The old man was dumbfounded: "Master, what is the East Factory?"

Fan Qing's eyes sharpened, if you didn't have something in your stomach, you would be damned if you asked this question.

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

"Then you or the magistrate, who has a higher official position?" The old man asked again.

"The magistrate dares to make mistakes, I will kill him anyway!"

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

"Say it!"

The old man put them all down.

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 wages every month, and the wages are not in arrears, but you are not allowed to leave the village.

As for what to build ordnance for and where to send it, he doesn't know at all.

"Where are you blacksmith?"

Fan Qing noticed a small detail: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local."

"My lord, I have learned a lesson, but this villain is a blacksmith from Zhejiang."

"Conscripted by the imperial court to be a husband's servant."

"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."

What the old man said surprised Fan Qing.

The out-of-town husbands were left in the capital?
how can that be possible?
"The others too?"

The old man nodded, and many craftsmen said that they spoke in various dialects.

Neither is local.

All of them were conscripted into Beijing forcibly on the pretext of husband's servitude, forced to stay in Beijing, given some money, married and had children locally, and then fixed in Fangjiazhuang.

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

The people who have done this can be described as supernatural powers.

"Who is in charge here?"
