The reason for the run was that the emperor and Mao Wenlong teamed up to misappropriate everyone's funds for building the new city. The profitable business of Tianjin New City could not be completed. Since the crux is here, we must start from here. Mao Wenlong is preparing to fly to Tianjin. , ask Mr. Xu Guangqi to immediately hold a grand opening ceremony for the new city. As soon as construction starts there, the news will spread to Beijing, the rumors will be broken, and the people's hearts will be stabilized immediately.

When Mao Wenlong and Wang Qiang rushed to the south gate with their horses, they saw that the imperial guards who used to stand guard at the gate were all replaced by people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.

The Wucheng Military and Horse Command Department, namely the Central, Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern Five Cities Military and Horse Command Departments, is the yamen responsible for patrolling thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches and prisoners, and fire bans. In the Ming Dynasty, the northern and southern capitals and the Qing Dynasty Beijing juxtaposition. Equivalent to the current Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and Beijing Municipal Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of Urban Management.

His direct boss is Shuntian Mansion, which is under the control of Shen Guangzuo.

But at the beginning, Shen Guangzuo regarded himself as a Donglin Party member. In order to strengthen Donglin's strength, Shen Guangzuo specially arranged all the main official positions of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to be the backbone of Donglin. As a result, there is trouble now, and Shen Guangzuo defected. The rebel party became the leader of the Guchen party, and his subordinates turned out to be the backbone of Donglin, so things got a little out of control.

Today, the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division replaced the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, and its purpose has been clearly revealed.

Sure enough, before Mao Wenlong could even approach, the soldiers from the Nancheng Army and Horse Division who controlled the city gate immediately pushed out their horses, obviously not wanting Mao Wenlong to leave the city.

And standing at the front was Du Jian, the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division.

Seeing Mao Wenlong who was anxious and had to stop in front of the horse, Du Jian smiled mischievously and cupped his hands casually: "Hey, isn't this Mao Shuai? Aren't you sick and bedridden? Why are you so alive and kicking here? Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you know what your crime is for doing this? It's deceiving the emperor. This can kill the whole family. You are so brave."

Mao Wenlong looked coldly at this guy who was acting strangely. When he finished speaking, Mao Wenlong said: "Whether I am sick or not is my business. Whether I deceive you or not, I don't have to pay attention to you. Look at this, you You don’t plan to let me leave the city.”

Du Jian said angrily: "Logically speaking, wherever Mao Shuai wants to go, I, a little fifth-grade military attache, have no right to control you, and I don't have the guts. You, Mao Shuai, are famous for their abilities." As for killing, I first killed officials all the way in Shandong, and then from Tianjin to Fengrun. I don’t know how many colleagues died under your thunderbolt methods. I am a soft-headed person, and I don’t dare to show off your power. In addition, With the emperor doting on you, killing me, a small official at the gate of the city, is as easy as trampling on an ant."

"Stop talking nonsense, let it go or not?"

Mao Wenlong was so anxious now that he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him.

As a result, Du Jian said tepidly: "Nonsense, I don't think so. As you know, everyone in the capital is now saying that you have taken away people's money and run away. This has caused panic and chaos in the market. , and it is the lower official’s responsibility to maintain law and order in the capital. Seeing that you, Mao Shuai, really want to run away today, I will never let you go out. If that happens, I will not be able to explain it to all the people of Beijing."

He spoke his truth so righteously. This is not far-fetched. Things have indeed reached this point, and the people are raging. On the way from home to here, he saw countless people.

Taking the deposit certificate, he rushed to his bank to participate in the run. Judging from the scholars standing on the street, foaming at the mouth and spreading rumors, the initiators of this turmoil were those Donglin Party members.

Mao Wenlong was not surprised by the Donglin Party's counterattack, nor was he angry that they were doing dirty things regardless of the interests of the country. They were inherently virtuous, full of benevolence, justice, and morality, and secretly committed male theft and female prostitution.

In their eyes, how can the interests of the country and the DPRK be greater than the interests of their party?

They were able to use their own affairs to attack themselves, which really hit the mark. Judging from Du Jian's plan to prevent him from leaving the city, they had already expected that they would make this move. This was all linked together.

It seems there are capable people out there, and not all of them are nerds who talk too much.

There was a capable person in the enemy's camp. Mao Wenlong definitely did not feel the noble relief of finding his opponent. Instead, he was filled with worry. When the matter subsided, he would dig out this person and kill him.

Of course, it is still far away to consider these things now. The top priority is to rush out of the city, contact Xu Guangqi, and immediately hold a groundbreaking meeting. Use facts to prove to the people that he has never given up on the new construction of Tianjin City, and use this to stabilize people's hearts.

I also use this method to strengthen my bank. I also want to establish a branch in Jiangnan and start exchange business. That will be a huge income and will bring greater social benefits. Therefore, the bank must not

Interruption must not fail.

"I will request to enter the palace now and ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to let us out." Ma Weizhong suggested anxiously on his horse.

"It's too late. It's going to be dark soon. If we don't rush out immediately, everything will be too late." Mao Wenlong said with a cold face, rejecting Ma Weizhong's suggestion.

But Du Jian just reminded himself that if he forced himself out of the city when rumors were flying everywhere, he would have confirmed his escape. Then the run would turn into smashing, and it would turn into turmoil.

, things were completely out of control.

So Mao Wenlong suddenly showed a happy smile and raised his hands to Du Jian: "Since the people have this idea, I will really leave the city and be convicted of absconding with money. Thank you General Du for reminding me about this."

It’s over, I really want to treat you to a drink.”

When Du Jian heard what Mao Wenlong said, he was stunned and suddenly understood the key to the matter. Now it seems that it was definitely a bad move when the superiors sent people to prevent Mao Wenlong from leaving the city. If he was allowed to go out, it would be a bad move.

Good chess, now he really regretted listening to the man above and played a bad game of chess.

After being stunned for a moment, Du Jianli immediately made a decision and changed his original serious face into a smile: "Oh, my handsome Mao, look where you keep talking about, I am just responsible, but

Since Marshal Mao is in a hurry to leave the city, he must have something big to do. If I delay military affairs for this reason, then I will be a sinner of the Ming Empire." Then he turned to his men and shouted loudly: "Move away quickly.

If you refuse the horse, please ask Marshal Mao to leave the city."

Facing this quick-responsive guy, Mao Wenlong laughed loudly: "I really don't have any major military affairs. Since the general didn't let me leave the city, that's good. I won't leave now and am going to go shopping."

Du Jian's face changed drastically when he heard this. It seemed that he had made a mistake, and instead reminded Mao Wenlong. When he was at a loss, Mao Wenlong turned to Ma Weizhong and said: "Take your brothers out of the city and go see Mr. Xu Guangqi immediately. Please

He will ask Mr. Xu to come to the capital tomorrow no matter what, with a sign from the Di Bao, announcing that the new city's groundbreaking ceremony will be held in the new city area the day after tomorrow, and inviting the common people and gentry to attend the ceremony."

Ma Weizhong understood at that time and had to admire Mao Wenlong's shrewd approach to solving the problem, so he mentioned the war horse and called Wang Qiang to leave the city.

As a result, when Du Jian saw that Mao Wenlong was not leaving, but asked someone else to connect with Xu Guangqi on his behalf, he shouted: "Quickly, get rid of the horse and stop them from leaving the city."

The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division immediately rushed to push the horse back again.

Mao Wenlong took a look and shouted: "Wang Qiang, rush away from Juma, protect Master Ma and rush out."

Without saying a word, Wang Qiang raised his war horse and rushed forward. As soon as he moved, the two brothers were one step ahead of him. They lifted the horse directly and hit the horse that was about to close. The war horse screamed, and the two brothers and their horses crashed into the horse.

The horse fell to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

But Wang Qiang didn't hesitate at all. He directly pulled the reins of Ma Weizhong's war horse and rushed over the corpses of his brothers. The other brothers followed closely and rushed into the doorway, attacking the officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Department who were closing the door with a flurry of swords.

After slashing and killing, Wang Qiang pulled Ma Weizhong out of the city gate before he could take action, leaped down from the half-raised suspension bridge, and flew away.
