Chapter 42: Anyone who rebels against a thief will be punished!
Sure enough, that afternoon, people came to Jinyiwei Yamen one after another, either to plead for mercy, to put pressure, or even to show off.

"Did you make a mistake? Why were the Tian family's properties suddenly seized? You must know that the Tian family pays a lot of taxes to the court every year..."

"Mr. Tang is also an official of the Ministry of Punishment after all. If you want to arrest me, I will arrest you. Who gave you Jin Yiwei such great power?"

"Your commander, you have to show me some kindness..."

"You damn people, why should you arrest my husband? I want to see the emperor, and I want to sue you..."

At the beginning, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian came out from time to time to socialize and explain a few words, but later they simply avoided seeing them, out of sight and out of mind.

In short, all those who were captured were imprisoned in imperial prisons. Except for the designated guards, no one else, including those within Jinyiwei, were allowed to visit.

Fortunately, Wen Zhiyuan's visit was very useful.

In fact, as a dignified cabinet bachelor, there is no need to go there in person, just send someone to deliver a message.

When he came, he actually silently expressed the cabinet's attitude and warned some people who were ready to take action.

After the news spread, almost no one dared to intercede or put pressure. They could only watch the development of the situation secretly.

Jin Yiwei's arrest operation is still going on. They are searching each workshop one by one. Once suspicious persons are found, they will be arrested first and then screened carefully.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally caught several gangsters, one of whom was a fugitive, which was an unexpected gain.

Two days later, in the early morning.

"Bang bang bang..."

A quick knock on the door woke Ding Xiu up.

When he opened the door, he saw Ding Baiying.

"division……"

Just after calling out a word, Ding Baiying pushed Ding Xiu with an impatient expression and said in a hurry: "Let's talk after we enter the room."

After entering the house, Ding Xiu just realized that Ding Baiying was wearing a night suit. Was she going out to work?

"Master, what is so urgent?"

"It's too late to say more. Hurry up. I'm afraid Li Yongfang will run away."

"What?" Ding Xiu couldn't help being shocked.

"Don't ask any more questions first, call someone quickly..."

"Okay, I'll go and notify Shen Lian right away."

Ding Xiu responded and quickly rushed out of the courtyard.

……

Dongzhimen.

A group of about twenty horses appeared near the city gate, all wearing Dongchang Fanzi's costumes.

In the dead of night, there should have been a lot of movement among the twenty or so riders.However, when the horse's hoof hit the ground, it only made a slight tapping sound. It was obvious that the horse's hoof was wrapped with something like cotton.

Generally speaking, once the city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit.

But there are exceptions to everything, such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang and others who perform emergency tasks, or special personnel with a warrant to leave the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate seemed not surprised by the arrival of this team.

The leader of the team raised his hand and waved a token in his hand. Ma San, the leader guarding the city gate, nodded, then raised his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Open the door and let them go!"

The city gate is no better than the gate of your own courtyard. After all, the city gate is quite heavy and requires the cooperation of many people to open it slowly with a winch.

Moreover, there is more than one gate.

Especially in the capital city, three gates are often opened. The first is the gate of the gate tower, the second is the gate of the arrow tower, and between the gate of the arrow tower and the city gate is the urn city.

The Wengcheng is one of the main defensive facilities of the city. Even if the enemy breaks through the first gate, they still have to pass the Wengcheng.

The urn city is equivalent to a closed space. The defenders can attack from the four walls from above, such as shooting with arrows, throwing stones, attacking with fire, etc.

In short, it is not easy to capture a city.

"Kakkaka..."

"Squeak..."

As the winch rotates, the gate of the gate tower gradually opens.

At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

"No!" The leader of Dongchang couldn't help but look shocked, and hurriedly ordered to his subordinates: "Go, stop them, don't let them get close to the city gate."

"Yes!"

At that moment, more than a dozen of his men rushed out with murderous intent, waving knives.

"The Jinyi Guards are ordered to arrest imperial prisoners and are not allowed to open the city gate!"

On the other side, Ding Xiu led several royal guards and galloped on their horses, shouting at the same time.

Ma San gritted his teeth and ordered with a crazy look on his face: "You are not allowed to stop, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

At this time, the dozen or so Dongchang fans had already charged forward with their swords.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Several Jin Yiwei who came with Ding Xiu immediately raised their crossbows and fired, killing three opponents in the blink of an eye.

Ding Xiu rode his horse towards the right side of his opponent, stepped on the stirrups, leaned slightly, and slashed with his sword.

A cloud of blood splashed in the night sky, and a Dongchang fanzi was decapitated with a single blow.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another one with a backhand knife.

"Stop immediately. If you dare to open the city gate again, you will be regarded as treason against our comrades and the three tribes will be punished!"

This sentence "Kill the three tribes" scared at least half of the officers and soldiers guarding the city to stop, and a few even paralyzed to the ground in fear.

They were just following orders, and maybe they got a little profit, but who would want to implicate three tribes just for a little profit?
However, Ma San had no choice but to turn back. He rushed forward and chopped one of his men to death, then shouted like a madman: "Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! Archers are ready..."

"Ma San, you are so brave. Do you want to rebel?"

With a roar, Lu Jianxing also rushed over with a group of people.

But all the officers and soldiers guarding the city were completely confused.

The vast majority of them had no idea what was going on.

Not long ago, Ma San said that Dongchang had a secret mission tonight and needed to leave the city, and the city gate would be opened as soon as possible.

But now it seems something is clearly wrong.

As soon as the people in Dongchang saw Jin Yiwei, they stepped forward and killed him without saying a word. Jin Yiwei also said something about arresting imperial prisoners and treason.

Ma San's words and actions were obviously abnormal. What reason was there for him to risk his life and order the city gate to be opened?He even ordered the archers to shoot the Jin Yiwei?
Could it be that he really wanted to rebel?

In fact, where did Ma San get the courage? In other words, what strength did he, a small city gate official, have to rebel?
He just received a large sum of money, and at the same time the other party promised to take him away with him, and he would be made a general by then.

Ma San originally thought that all this could be done without anyone noticing.By the time the court found out, he had already left the capital and headed straight for Liaodong.

But he never expected that Jin Yiwei would rush over.

At this point, Ma San could only walk to the dark side and shouted at his men: "How dare these people pretend to be Jin Yiwei, kill them!"

"kill!"

A small leader standing next to him shouted loudly.

Then stabbed him with a knife...

"Pfft~"

Ma San felt a pain in his waist and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His eyes widened and he looked at the little leader in disbelief.

This was the confidant he had single-handedly promoted, and he had promised beforehand that he would take this little leader with him to Liaodong to share the glory and wealth.

"why……"

Ma San murmured a question.

The little boss said coldly: "If you rebel against a thief, everyone will find it and kill him!"

"Pfft~"

Ma San vomited a large mouthful of blood again and sprayed it all over the little leader's face.

"call out!"

At this time, a cold arrow flew from nowhere and hit the little leader's temple.
