If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 7: Hiding eunuchs secretly, you are so brave!
late at night.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a faint sound of the watch on the street.

Two patrol officers and soldiers holding lanterns with "Five Cities Soldiers and Horses" printed on them were on routine patrol on the street.

"Master Ma, it's really cold today. How comfortable would it be if you could have a bowl of hot noodles right now?"

The officer and soldier known as Mr. Ma snorted: "You guys still want to eat noodles? There are only two types of people who dare to walk on the street after midnight. Except for those who are on duty.

One kind is us, who were unlucky enough to win the lottery to patrol the city, and another kind of people..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ma seemed to have discovered something. He walked carefully to an alley and looked at the dark and deep alley with the faint light of the lantern.

"What did Mr. Ma find?"

Master Ma didn't reply. He slowly drew his sword and shouted, "Come out!"

Following the words, several people actually appeared from the darkness.

Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment, then his hand shook and the lantern fell to the ground in fright.

"Jinyiwei... let's go, go quickly!"

He didn't even bother to pick up the lantern, picked up his accomplices and ran away.

Master Ma knew very well that Jin Yiwei must be working on a major case while hiding here, and he didn't want to get involved inexplicably, and he wouldn't know how he died.

This team of Jin Yiwei is led by Shen Lian, and tonight's mission is to arrest an important member of the Eunuch Party: Xu Xianchun, the former envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen.

Now that Wei Zhongxian has stepped down, he cannot protect himself, not to mention the many members of his party, who have almost become rats on the street, and everyone is shouting for beatings.

However, Ding Xiu's heart was brighter than anyone else's.

In fact, the emperor wanted to kill only Wei Zhongxian and a few important party members around him, and he was not planning to go on a killing spree.

However, he has no choice.

He has just ascended the throne and his foundation is not yet stable. He needs someone to fully support him and cheer for him.

It is obviously impossible to rely on the eunuch party. Wouldn't it be necessary to cultivate another Wei Zhongxian?Therefore, we can only rely on the Donglin Party. After all, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have a blood feud and are irreconcilable.

Since Wei Zhongxian came to power, he has killed countless Donglin Party officials, suppressing the Donglin Party so much that it cannot hold its head up and cannot breathe.

Now that the wind has changed and the Donglin Party has finally stood up, why not punish the Party to death?
For the emperor, the best result is actually to secretly kill Wei Zhongxian halfway, and then use the clues as an excuse to reduce the big matter to a trivial matter.

In this way, those eunuchs who have not been liquidated will naturally be grateful, and staying in the court can restrain the Donglin Party to some extent.

Otherwise, in the future, the Donglin Party will dominate the court.

However, although Ding Xiu knew these secrets in his heart, it was difficult for him to reverse them with his current status, so he could only do his best.

According to the secret report, Xu Xianchun is now hiding in the house of Chen Jiashan, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Chen Mansion, in the study.

Chen Jiashan looked solemn and ordered to his younger brother Chen Jiaming: "Yin Shi, remember, Yin Shi will take Xu Xianchun to Xizhimen and give the letter to Mr. Cao. You can follow the water truck out of the city."

Chen Jiaming nodded: "Remember it."

At this time, the study door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Jiashan's wife and daughter were standing outside the door with disheveled hair.

Chen Jiashan was stunned for a moment, then scolded: "What are you doing? Dressing like this in front of Jiaming?"

At this moment, a guard in golden clothes also walked in and showed a token: "Master Chen, Shen Lian is in Fusi, Xiabei Town."

Chen Jiashan pretended to be angry: "Master Shen, even if he is a royal guard who broke into my mansion in the middle of the night, he should have an explanation."

"My lord knows better than anyone why I am here."

At this time, Chen Jiaming gritted his teeth, quickly pulled out the sword on the wooden stand and rushed towards Shen Lian.

"Lord be careful!"

Ding Xiu didn't know where he was punched and rushed out. With a "bang" punch, Chen Jiaming was beaten to the point where he vomited blood and flew away. His sword also flew away from his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Lian couldn't help but glance at Ding Xiu in surprise.

When Ding Xiu first came to report, he actually looked down upon him from the bottom of his heart, thinking that it was just another freeloader thrown in by the powerful officials in the court.

Unexpectedly, this kid is so strong even if he dares to fight and charge? "puff!"

Chen Jiaming hit the table hard and spit out another mouthful of blood.

"Jia Ming..." Chen Jiashan hurried forward to check on his brother's injury. It seemed that the two brothers had a good relationship.

At this time, Ding Xiu walked up to Chen Jiashan's daughter, raised her chin frivolously and smiled: "Master Chen, your daughter is pretty..."

"Beast, don't touch my daughter!"

Chen Jiashan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't care about his younger brother and ran over in a hurry.

As a result, he was pushed gently by Ding Xiu and immediately fell to the ground.

Chen Jiashan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Please don't touch my daughter, she is only 14 years old!"

Ding Xiu said slowly: "Master Chen, since you care so much about your family, if your wife and daughter were sent to the Jiaofang Division to be prostitutes, they would all be harmed by you.

Hiding eunuchs secretly, you are so brave!If you are tired of living, you might as well think about the fate of your wife and children. "

At this time, Shen Lian stepped forward and asked, "Master Chen, where is Xu Xianchun? As long as you tell me, I will never embarrass your family."

Hearing this, Chen Jiashan couldn't help but glance at the crying wife and daughter. His heart trembled, and he finally gave in. He raised a trembling finger and pointed.

He was not loyal, but mainly because he was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would come back, which would be bad luck for him.

"Search!"

Shen Lian immediately waved his hand and ordered.

"Sir, the target escaped through the window."

"Chase!"

In the alley behind Chen Mansion, Xu Xianchun fled in panic under the escort of two servants.

Unfortunately, before he could escape far, Ding Xiu jumped down from the wall and killed the two servants one by one, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Xianchun was so frightened that he peed his pants and changed direction and ran to another alley.

As a result, more than a dozen crossbows were aimed at him as soon as he showed his head.The leader is none other than Lu Jianxing.

Tonight's operation was divided into two groups. One group was led by Shen Lian and was responsible for the search, while Lu Jianxing led people to provide support from the outside to prevent Xu Xianchun from escaping.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Xu Xianchun couldn't help but shouted: "Lu Jianxing, you are avenging a private vendetta. You are complaining that I did not fill the gap of hundreds of households with you..."

Lu Jianxing is a hereditary Jinyiwei, and his father was a member of Baihu during his lifetime.

If you have connections and background, you may be able to directly inherit the position of Baihu.It's a pity that there are too many monks and not enough rice. If you are lucky, you can fill the gap with a small flag, but if you are unlucky, you can only be an ordinary Jinyi Colonel.

Lu Jianxing's biggest wish has always been to have the opportunity to fill the gap of a hundred households without losing the face of his ancestors.

It's a pity that he was unwilling to join the eunuch party, and many opportunities to fill the vacancy were taken by others.

Xu Xianchun was lucky and shouted: "Lu Jianxing, if you let me go, I will make you a member of the Hundred Households."

"Snapped!"

Shen Lian stepped forward and slapped him hard.

"Wei Zhongxian has fallen, but you, a dismissed governor, are still so arrogant? Take him to prison."

"Yes, Lord General Banner!"

Then, Shen Lian walked up to Ding Xiu, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Not bad!"

"No, I have just joined the humble position. I will ask Mr. Shen and Mr. Lu for more support in the future."

Lu Jianxing smiled: "Brothers, there is no need to say anything about support and support. We share the blessings and share the hardships."

"Yes, yes, Master Lu said yes."

"Okay, withdraw your troops and return to the Yamen!"
