Chapter 286 Torture (Part 1)

At Chenshi, outside Nianzi Hutong, Jin Yiwei.

The cavalry from all walks of life came back one after another and reported to the commander Luo Sigong and the governor of Beizhen Fusi Liu Qiao one by one that there were no traces of the Wenxiang Sect rebels hiding anywhere in the capital.

Luo Sigong stood in the courtyard, folded his arms, and lectured loudly: "I may have to escort Lord Wanli's mausoleum later. The brothers left in the Wei will be dispatched by Governor Liu. All the thousands of households understand this."

Is it done yet?”

There was a flurry of responses.

Luo Sigong made a dismissal gesture, turned around and walked to the check-in room with a straight face.

Entering the inner hall, he sat behind the desk. He looked solemnly and stared at Liu Qiao, Luo Yangxing, and Zheng Haizhu who were following them.

The books were taken out and read one by one. It was fucking deadly. The Ministry of Revenue asked various government offices for help, so I sent Gu Qingquan and several other scribes to the Imperial College in the north to be locked up.

The yellow list has gone. However, there may be hidden stakes in our guard, so in addition to searching those few places under the guise of using Wenxiang Cult's methods, we have to spread the word that Liu Qiao can mobilize more brothers.

"

Everyone in the room nodded.

If the Shanxi doctor who drugged Liu Qiao's son also had contact with Gu Qingquan's associates in Jinyi Weili, Wei Li would have to use a cover-up method to investigate the case. Liu Qiao had temporarily obtained information about greater power, and he could also take advantage of Bo doctor.

Previously, Liu Qiao accompanied Zheng Haizhu and reported to Luo Sigong in detail the suspicious points about the word mark "Nanzhu kill me" in the imperial edict, as well as the Shanxi merchants' money analyzed with Wang Wenyan. Luo Sigong was shocked and also very

for satisfaction.

When the old subordinates and new allies grasped the clues, they had no intention of hiding anything from his dignified commander. Yes, they could work together.

Especially Zheng Haizhu, a woman who has already had contacts with the palace. She heard that she had met the Holy Spirit several times, but she didn't skip Luo Sigong and went directly to tell the Lord Long Live.

This not only means that he is not greedy for merit, but also means that he knows how to protect Luo Sigong. Otherwise, looking at the gentle-tempered Long Live Master, who knows if he will be murmuring in his heart, thinking that they, the emperor's first bodyguard, don't even have one

Girls who have just arrived in Beijing are capable.

Now, Luo Sigong saw Zheng Haizhu still sitting quietly without any sign of excitement. He only signaled Luo Yangxing to explain the situation at Jishuitan Wharf in detail. Luo Shuai, who had always trained his eldest son as the successor of the commander, felt in his heart

The good feeling became more and more vivid.

After Luo Yangxing finished speaking, Luo Sigong said to Zheng Haizhu with approval: "It's Madam's good idea, pretending to investigate the origins of the incense cult, whether it is in the alleys or docks, the investigation will make more noise, and it will not alert the snake. Liu

The Governor, please also tell me."

Liu Qiao said: "There are no suspicious people or objects in Fahua Temple. In the surrounding alleys, no Guangfu merchant named Xu was found to be renting. Therefore, did the person named Xu change his residence? Indeed

I still need people from Yangxing to follow me. I personally took people to check out the Xique Hutong area. The big house from Shanxi was rented by a young man. As expected by Mrs. Zheng, his surname was Fan and his place of origin was in

Shanxi, the road guide says 'Fan Wencheng', but he spoke it with a Shandong accent."

Hearing this, Zheng Haizhu leaned forward a little.

"How do you write the word Wen Cheng?" she asked Liu Qiao.

"The literature of the Confucian Temple is the journey of the journey."

"Where is the accent in Shandong?"

"The one in Dengzhou." Liu Qiao said firmly without even thinking about it.

After Emperor Yongle made the imperial city of Beijing the capital, many people from Shandong poured in, including cooks, laborers, and sailors. Therefore, Liu Qiao, a native of Beijing, often visited the streets and alleys and became familiar with the different places in Shandong.

The local accent is not surprising.

Zheng Haizhu's eyes moved to Luo Sigong's face: "Shuai Wei, the person discovered by Governor Liu is very likely to be from Fushun, Liao."

Luo Sigong and Liu Qiao both had expressions on their faces that said, "How can I say this?"

Zheng Haizhu talked about it: "I traveled several times in Dengzhou, Shandong, and saw that every family ate pasta. The same goes for Shanxi people. But in the past, a large number of people from Denglai came to Liao Dynasty, and there was not enough food in Shandong for relief. The imperial court always allocated food to the south.

Most of the grain transported by the emperor was rice. I walked from Lushun to Liaoyang, and then to Fushun in southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. There are many water pools there, and the people near the city can grow rice for a whole season. Therefore, many people in Liaodong,

I grew up eating rice. Wang Wenyan’s servants had previously reported to me that the family in Xique Hutong often had a grain store delivering rice. Therefore, Mr. Fan, who spoke with a Dengzhou accent and loved rice, was probably from Liao.

.And after the great victory in Fushun, we wandered around the city for a while and learned that there was actually a descendant of Fan Zhongyan in the city, named Fan Wencheng."

Luo Sigong understood and asked, "Madam, have you seen that Fan Wencheng?"

Zheng Haizhu shook his head: "I haven't seen him before. It is said that he rushed to Shenyang to study in a hurry to prepare for the scientific examination. I can't confirm it by looking at his face, but if I assume it is really this person... Commander Wei, please lend me a pen and ink."

Zheng Haizhu stood up, walked to Luo Sigong's case, took some paper, dipped it in ink, and started writing.

While writing, he analyzed: "Fushun is close to the slave territory. The old chief Nurhachi likes to bribe Han people to be spies. He once bribed the military general Li Yongfang. Who knows that he won't bribe those scholars who failed to become Jinshi and have no hope of becoming an official? Zhangjiakou Shanxi merchants,

The Han people who connected with the Later Jin Dynasty through Mongolia and surrendered Liaodong as slaves and transferred their registration to the Shanxi merchants were able to enter the capital openly and openly, in the name of doing business, and actually conducted espionage. The gangsters who seemed to be seeking revenge in Fahua Temple,

What we entered was not Eunuch Wei’s villa, we can conclude that it was someone surnamed Xu who made it a show.”

Speaking of this, Zheng Haizhu looked at Luo Yangxing: "So, Mr. Luo, what you said at the dock this morning is right. The man named Xu collaborated with the enemy in the north. However, the Ming people who colluded with him were not only from Fujian.

Ming people, as well as Ming people from Shanxi and Liaodong. If so, I think the person named Xu will not be the minions of Concubine Zheng and Prince Fu."

Luo Sigong was familiar with the interests of all parties, and said coldly: "Yes, if the imperial concubine wants to support Prince Fu, she will probably do what Yang Lian and the others are worried about, and use women's sex to drag down the longevity master. After the emperor's eldest son ascends the throne, she will treat him as the empress dowager.

Otherwise, if we seize the throne through collusion among all parties and eager to usurp the throne, how can the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty agree?"

Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, there is no need to think of civil servants as being so honest. Two hundred years ago, Zhu Di was in the wrong position, and none of the civil servants in Nanjing were martyred like Fang Xiaoru. In another time and space, decades later, whether it was Li Chuang

It was the Qing army that entered Beijing, and all civil servants in Beijing went straight to Meishan to hang themselves.

Moreover, although King Fu was only four or five Liu Adou away from Emperor Hui of Jin, Concubine Zheng had the support of many non-Donglin civil servants in the court. This mother and son still had many children to raise in the northern suburbs of the capital.

I don’t know whether the servants or the troops from Cui Wenjing’s patrol battalion are her subordinates.

However, Zheng Haizhu still agreed with Luo Sigong's judgment that the imperial concubine would not rush to rebel, and looked at Liu Qiao meaningfully.

Liu Qiao understood that this woman was giving him the chance to express herself, and the serious look on her face immediately became clearer.

"Commander Wei," Liu Qiao said, pointing to the strength written by Zheng Haizhu on the paper, "the Fujian navy's holy family is strong. Yu Zigao collected a lot of flag money from the foreign ships passing by. He

Why bother to collude with the slave builders? Yan Siqi opposite him is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Therefore, I thought that no matter the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi or the General Zheng in Fujian, the old slave builders or the Liao traitors, they all worked for the man named Xu.

According to Mrs. Zheng's inference, if the person surnamed Xu is related to the person who stared at Ma Xuanfu's cell in the imperial edict, he happened to have appeared in Java. Perhaps he was the Emperor Jianwen who was not visited by the Sanbao eunuchs when they went to sea.

Descendants."

Luo Sigong's hand touching his chin fell on the desk with a slap.

"Let's torture Gu Qingquan tonight," Luo Sigong said to Liu Qiao, "Mrs. Zheng, please listen together."
