Wanli 1592

Chapter 783
After the outside tasks were ordered, the most important thing left was to find and kill Xiao Ruxun who was still hiding in the inner city.

Although he escaped for a while, the gates of the inner city and outer city were all controlled by the troops led by the confidantes of all the nobles. Basically, any army or individual is allowed to enter and not to leave, unless there is Shen Yiguan. The warrant issued by himself can only go out for special missions.

Under such circumstances, unless Xiao Ruxun can escape from the ground or fly, he absolutely cannot leave the inner city.

So he must be hiding somewhere.

"Okay, then the next step is to capture Xiao thief. Xiao thief escaped from outside Dong'an Gate, but he must still be hiding in the inner city. We have sent people to guard all the city gates. He can't leave the inner city at all. We only need to guard the inner city tightly and speed up the search, Xiao thief will be arrested!"

Shen Yiguan pointed to the map of the inner city and instructed Wen Chun and Xu Zuo: "Wen Butang, Xu Butang, you will be responsible for the search and arrest of the inner city, Wen Butang will be in charge of the east city, and Xu Butang will be in charge of the west city. No matter what, you must capture Thief Xiao within three days and kill him to stabilize people's hearts."

Wen Chun and Xu Zuo were assigned such a task just after they joined Shen Yiguan. What a great job offer. They can take this opportunity to join Shen Yiguan's core team. Wen Chun and Xu Zuo will not let go of this opportunity.

The two desperately need the opportunity to show themselves and show their loyalty.

Shen Yiguan really wanted to make further arrangements when suddenly a subordinate came to report.

"Shoufu, the old Shoufu is seriously injured and has already gone."

Shen Yiguan and all his cronies were taken aback for a moment, and then all the cronies looked at Shen Yiguan together.

"...Understood, wait three days before releasing the news, and said to the outside world that the old chief assistant fell ill from overwork and has been recovering from his illness. Unfortunately, he died of illness, and then we will prepare for a funeral for the old chief assistant .”

Shen Yiguan looked around at everyone around him, and then fixed his eyes on Shi Xing.

"Shibutang, I will leave this matter to you, how about it?"

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Yiguan to mention him.

Obviously, this matter is the most suitable for Shi Xing to handle.

Shi Xing didn't object.

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Shi Xing took over the task.

Shen Yiguan nodded in satisfaction, pursed his lips, and said again: "I'll go and see the old Shoufu and Song Butang. After all...they all died because of me!"

After speaking, Shen Yiguan wiped away his tears, got up and left.

Everyone talked and persuaded, and they left together.

With the passage of time and the enthronement of the new emperor, the cloud of the coup gradually dissipated. After this day passed, the residents of the capital began to quietly poke their heads out of their gates, carefully exchanging information with their neighbors and inquiring about information. Those who are more courageous dare to go out of the gate and hide in a corner to quietly talk about things they know.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is undoubtedly a hot news, and the whole capital ushered in a wave of explosions, that is, Shen has always not allowed residents to go out and blocked everyone in the house, otherwise, the capital would have been a sensation.

The current emperor Zhu Yijun was very guilty of rebellion due to his mistaken belief in traitors, so he was ill and unable to govern, so he decided to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and hand over the throne to his eldest son Zhu Changluo.

The old emperor abdicated.

The new emperor ascended the throne.

This news has shocked the people of the capital for a long time.

Along with this news, there was the news that Xiao Ruxun, the hero of the Ming Dynasty and Duke of Qin, rebelled and tried to usurp the throne not long ago. It is said that Xiao Ruxun caused the commotion the night before, but because Shen, the cabinet assistant, tried his best to stop the rebellion, the rebellion was quelled, and Xiao Ruxun's conspiracy Failed.

This news and the news that the emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne confirmed each other, and it seemed that the interpretation was perfect.

But everyone is not a fool, how many twists and turns are there, after the brain is blank, everyone has a certain idea in their hearts, but they are locked at home and not allowed to come out, so they can't share their guesses with outsiders.

When this kind of thing happened, not to mention the skepticism of the literati, the ordinary people couldn't turn around. They were all extremely shocked and suspicious of this incident.

There is also panic about the abdication of the old emperor and the ascension of a new emperor.

Moreover, the imperial court announced that the traitor Xiao Ruxun was still hiding in the city. The new emperor issued an edict that the people who knew the clues should report the news to the army patrolling the city. If the situation was true, they would be rewarded with 500 taels of silver.

As a result, the common people and scholars in the capital felt the danger related to the real situation, and they closed their homes even more tightly and dared not leave the house, lest they encounter innocent disasters.

This is also Shen's consistent goal, to make a wave of hardening and clearing the country, leaving Xiao Ruxun with nowhere to go, and showing his feet.

Moreover, the reward of 500 taels of silver is too tempting, and it has to make some lazy people who are short of money think about it.

Shen Yiguan, who is well versed in Xiaomin's mind, is determined to let Xiao Ruxun fall into the vast ocean of the people's war.

All in all, for the residents of the capital, the literati and even the low-level officials, the influence of this matter is far from over.

Of course, Shen Yiguan never thought that the vast sea of ​​people's war would be so effective.

At noon on the second day after the notice was distributed, that is, two days after the coup, in the Dongcheng District where Xu Zuo was in charge, Xu Zuo got an informant from a loafing rascal living near Chaoyangmen, and learned that he was in Chaoyangmen. A few furtive figures were seen nearby.

Xu Zuo attached great importance to this, and immediately went to the streets near Chaoyangmen. Under the guidance of the scruffy-looking rascal, he locked the target in a small area, and immediately mobilized a large team to attack the houses in this area. Conduct surprise investigations.

Found it.

At sunset, the two sides launched a small-scale confrontation inside and outside a small courtyard in a corner. The resistance of the people in the courtyard was relatively strong, and with bows and crossbows in hand, they blocked the courtyard door in various ways, trying to fight against the people outside. The besieged brigade fought desperately.

Xu Zuo directly gathered hundreds of troops to surround the small courtyard and shouted for the people inside to surrender, but instead of surrendering, they were caught on fire.

The people inside seemed to know that they had no chance of surviving, so they simply set themselves on fire.

After all, Xu Zuo didn't see whether the people inside were Xiao Ruxun and his remnant party. Xu Zuo himself had never seen Xiao Ruxun, so he didn't know what he looked like, but there was no doubt that he was dead.

There were a total of four corpses, all of which were badly burned. When Xu Zuo ordered people to put out the fire and clear the place, only four burnt and mutilated bones were found.

There is also a jade pendant.

A jade pendant that symbolizes status, a jade pendant that not everyone can wear.

Xu Zuo, who was in a hurry to make contributions and wanted to get better political resources under Shen Yiguan before Wen Chun was overjoyed, immediately went to Shen Yiguan to report the good news, regardless of 21 or [-].

Xu Zuo didn't know, when he was happily going to Shen Yiguan to announce the good news, Xiao Ruxun, who had been in a coma all day, opened his eyes on a mountain path in the eastern suburbs of the capital.
