"Baihu, how can you see clearly in the middle of the night..."
"So you killed Li Wenxiang and his son, and you only know about it now?"
"yes."
The Chief Flag Officer of Jin Yiwei who was guarding the back door of the Li Mansion had his head lowered in preparation for the scolding of the Baihu Officer. At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and nodded with a pure face.
Baihuguan was a little helpless and looked at another flag officer under his command: "Did I say that we would also kill Li Wenxiang and his son?"
The chief flag officer, who had been following Baihuguan to kill the entire Li Mansion from the front of the Li Mansion compound, nodded and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "You said that if brothers encounter resistance, you will kill them without mercy."
The Baihu officer said oh, turned to look at the flag officer in front of him who had killed Li Wenxiang and his son, and kept silent.
The flag officer immediately understood, with anger on his face, he waved his hand and pointed angrily at Li Wenxiang and his son, whose bodies had long since cooled down in a pool of blood, and said angrily: "Baihu, you don't know! These treacherous father and son
, how abominable!
The subordinates said they would disarm and not kill, but these two people dared to try to escape with both fists, and even punched the subordinates.
If it hadn't been for your careful guidance from Baihu in the past, I would have to be here tonight, and you would never see me again."
There was a hint of fear on the flag officer's face.
Baihuguan looked at the people around him and saw that everyone in the group was nodding, so he sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
"That's all. This gang of rebels actually dared to resist. They almost killed one of my subordinates. I'll just kill them. They deserve to die here tonight."
The commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, who personally killed Li Wenxiang and his son, saw that what he had done was wiped out, and he had a mysterious smile on his face.
The chief flag officer tiptoed forward, reached the eyes of Baihu official, rubbed his hands and whispered: "Baihu, my subordinates found out where all the good things from the Li family are hidden."
Baihuguan looked at the other party sideways and said softly: "Oh? How did you know?"
The commander-in-chief moved his mouth and looked sideways at Li Wenxiang and his son on the ground: "They are also kind-hearted people. They told their subordinates."
Bai Huguan's face suddenly twitched.
Only then could I see clearly that Li Wenxiang and his son were lying in a pool of blood. There was nothing good about their faces or bodies.
All ten fingers were severed, and all the teeth in his mouth were scattered on the ground.
There was some greenish-yellow stuff mixed in the blood.
During this period, how the Li family's father and son "kindly" informed Jin Yiwei of their treasure location was no longer within the scope of Baihu Official's consideration.
"Where are all the money from the Li family hidden?"
This is the issue that Baihu officials are most concerned about now.
Although the imperial court has become rich in recent years, the money is never enough.
Since everyone says that these Shanxi merchants are as rich as the country.
If there were money hidden by the Li family, it would not only be able to cover several percent of the imperial court's annual income, but at least it would allow the imperial court to do more things, and it would also allow the border army brothers who have been guarding the border all day long to endure the bitter cold.
Life was a little better.
The chief flag officer immediately stepped forward and said: "It's hidden in the courtyard of Li's Mansion, under the pond."
"These traitors know how to hide things!"
Baihuguan snorted coldly.
Immediately looking at the people around him, Baihuguan waved his hand: "I stole the money from the Li family."
In an instant, hundreds of people responded to the call, and the Jinyiwei followed Baihuguan one after another to the carefully built Jiangnan style courtyard in Li Mansion.
The people from Jinyiwei were transferred to the Li Mansion.
The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp began to cast a net to clear out the people hiding in the Li Mansion.
Go to Lifu Courtyard.
After receiving the details, the flag officer immediately went to a courtyard wall and turned a stone pillar.
I heard a commotion starting in the hospital.
The water in the living pond with countless koi carps began to flow toward the outside of the courtyard wall, and the koi carps in the water were also carried through a small hole under the courtyard wall.
After everyone waited for half an hour, they saw that all the water in the pool had been drained, revealing a high, dark opening at the bottom of the pool.
The officers and soldiers immediately stepped down into the pool and opened the secret door.
A torch was thrown in, making a clanging sound inside.
However, the light emitted by the torch also illuminated the entire space under the pool. The firelight shone on the piles of gold and silver, continuously reflecting the light around, and for a while the entire courtyard seemed to be a little brighter.
"Go down and have a look."
The official of Baihu gave the order and led the people into the bottom of the pool.
As soon as everyone entered the bottom of the pool, their eyes were stunned by the sight in front of them.
Even the well-informed Baihu officials couldn't help but open their mouths in shock when looking at the scene in front of them.
After thirty years of accumulation, the Li Mansion Courtyard is all here.
The courtyard above the head is not too big, just like the Jiangnan mansion. It has never been famous for its land area, but for its exquisiteness.
But down here, there is no cover.
In addition to rows of thick pillars for support, there were only rows of wooden shelves filled with treasures, wooden boxes filled with gold and silver, and piles of copper coins scattered in the corners.
Sea pearls, which are rare outside, are all held in huge baskets here.
"Does this old man have a lot of noses?"
The flag officer of Jinyiwei, who personally asked about this place, stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, somewhat unbelievable.
Everyone standing here has almost the same expression and reaction.
"How much does this cost?"
The other flag officer blinked, then lowered his head, rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands, and finally raised his head again to look at the scene in front of him, as if to confirm whether he was hallucinating.
Almost everyone looked at the property that the Li family had accumulated for thirty years before them, with a look of greed in their eyes.
The Baihu official swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised his head tremblingly: "Report! Report to Your Highness! Count...call someone to come over and count the amount of money here."
The chief flag officer stretched his hands in front of his eyes and murmured: "What should we do now?"
Baihuguan noticed something strange and turned around to look at his subordinates who were all dazzled by the overwhelming wealth in front of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Baihuguan immediately shouted coldly: "Get out! Everyone go out and stay outside. No one can come down here until His Highness sends someone to come!"
After saying that, Baihuguan's hand was already on the embroidered spring knife at his waist.
No one can guarantee that these subordinates who have been with each other for many years can remain calm in the face of such astonishing wealth.
Even if you just carry it out a little bit, it will be enough for the family to live happily for the rest of their lives.
Following Bai Huguan's cold shout, the two chief flag officers immediately reacted, withdrawing their minds from the overwhelming wealth in front of them, and stood beside Bai Huguan, looking at the subordinates who were following them.
There were three Shangguan officers with suppressed eyes, and the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers present also knew that this wealth that was right in front of them could not have anything to do with them. They could only endure the heartache, turned around and almost shed tears, and returned to the courtyard above.
.
At this time, Baihuguan had taken off the Xiuchun knife from his waist, sat on a stone next to the entrance of the cave, spread his legs, and held the knife between his legs.
"Hurry and report to His Highness the Grand Sun."
A general flag officer immediately turned around and left with the people.
Everyone shuttled from the other courtyard in Li's mansion to the outside of the mansion. Along the way, there were constant sounds of fighting, and there were also soldiers from the camp teaming up to carry Li's belongings.
Compared with the rebels who broke into the Jin Palace tonight, they only smashed, looted and burned. Both the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards and the soldiers of the Beijing Army appeared to be more organized and qualified.
Even if there was resistance in the Li Mansion, the officers and soldiers would just kill these people. No one would think of destroying this mansion that the Li family also spent countless efforts to build, even if the Li family wanted to and fought in.
When the officers and soldiers in the mansion died together, the officers and soldiers would still rush to put out the fires everywhere.
The chief flag officer led his men all the way out of Li's Mansion and rushed to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Along the way.
There were officers and soldiers everywhere in the city. Doors belonging to Shanxi merchants were opened one after another, and officers and soldiers went in and out.
Those families who had their whole family kneeling on the ground to surrender before the officers and soldiers rushed into their homes, finally escaped disaster temporarily.
The officers and soldiers could only feel a little regretful that they had not been able to obtain any vivid military merits. They could only tie these people up tighter and escort them to various military camps in the city in accordance with military orders.
To the Jin Palace.
The storm has long been calmed down, and Zhu Jiye, the second son of the Jin Palace, has even ordered the chefs in the palace to start preparing breakfast for the army in the city after dawn tomorrow.
After Zhang Hui escorted away the Shanxi Road officials from the Jin Palace.
Then I received new orders.
Capture the leader of the White Lotus Sect lurking in the city, as well as the Tatar tribe who entered the country from the south not long ago.
It's just that it's been a full hour.
Zhang Hui and his men searched all the possible hiding places of the White Lotus Sect in the city. Except for a few White Lotus Sect rebels who stayed behind, there was no trace of Liu Zongsheng, King Han Ming and other White Lotus Sect's thieves leaders.
"Perhaps Zhu Yunwen had a reason, or maybe he was found out by the Jin Yiwei?"
From the Jin Palace to Zhu Yunwen's resting place in the city, King Han Ming and several religious guards followed Liu Zongsheng, who was full of murderous intent, avoiding numerous patrols by officers and soldiers.
King Han Ming looked at Liu Zongsheng, who was silent, with dark eyes.
If it wasn't for the purpose of protecting himself and not irritating Liu Zongsheng any more, he would definitely burst out laughing at this moment.
Zhu Yunwen, whom Liu Zongsheng called his military advisor, was the one who personally ruined Liu Zongsheng's life hopes.
The drama involved was enough to make King Han Ming laugh at him for the rest of his life.
Several people walked through the streets and alleys, avoiding the patrols of countless officers and soldiers, and finally entered a mud alley.
Liu Zongsheng suddenly stopped at this time.
King Han Ming who was following him didn't pay attention and stopped dangerously.
King Han Ming had some doubts in his eyes and cautiously took two steps back.
Liu Zongsheng, who stopped, turned around. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ferocious. There was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was about to kill someone at any time.
King Han Ming could not help but be shocked, and silently took a step back.
"Taobao?"
King Han Ming shouted in a low voice.
Liu Zongsheng's eyes gradually moved downward.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the waist of the guard behind King Han Ming.
"Give me the knife..."
After seeing Zhu Yunwen being escorted into the Jin Palace by officers and soldiers, Liu Zongsheng finally spoke again.
And his voice was as hoarse as an old wind direction.
The guard was startled and quickly took off the saber from his waist, held it up with both hands and handed it to Liu Zongsheng.
Liu Zongsheng held the handle of the knife, his arm shook, and the scabbard fell to the ground. With a shake of his backhand, he already held the long knife and turned around.
In the dim alley, Liu Zongsheng dragged his long knife, casting shadows full of angry murderous intent, and kept approaching Zhu Yunwen's yard.
King Han Ming, who was lagging behind, had a sneer on his face, raised his hand and waved forward.
"Follow the Taibao and be sure to protect the Taibao."
The guards immediately took the order and rushed forward, arriving behind Liu Zongsheng who had already walked to the gate of a courtyard.
"who!"
In the courtyard, the two Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers who were guarding here looked at Liu Zongsheng outside the courtyard and immediately walked out from Qiuniang who was guarding the door.
The two Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers looked warily at Liu Zongsheng who walked into the courtyard, as well as the unidentified people who poured in from behind him.
Liu Zongsheng looked past the two royal guards and stared grimly at Qiuniang sitting under the door.
"Liu...Mr. Liu..."
Qiuniang was a little nervous. She pressed her hands on the stool and looked at Liu Zongsheng holding the belt in his hand. She gradually became uneasy.
"Who are you? If you dare to step forward again, you will be killed without mercy!"
The two Jinyi guards couldn't help but become nervous. At this moment, we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered. Once the two sides really fought, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Liu Zongsheng snorted coldly and slowly raised the long knife in his hand.
He looked coldly at the two Jinyi guards in Feiyu uniforms, and finally looked at Qiuniang who had already stood up, and sneered: "As expected, as expected...it's not that destiny is not with me, but that someone has different intentions."
The two Jinyi guards had already pulled out the embroidered spring knives in their hands, moved their legs forward and back, and slowly lowered their bodies.
A guard in Jinyi turned around and looked at Qiuniang behind the door.
"Madam, walk from the cellar and run forward."
"None of you can leave!"
Liu Zongsheng roared.
The two Jinyi guards did not give each other a chance to react.
"kill!"
…
"Second brother?"
"Second brother?"
"Second brother!"
In Prince Jin's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunwen who was suddenly stunned in front of him. He shouted several times in succession, but he did not wake up.
The two of them were still chatting about the next layout of Taiyuan City, and they had even begun to discuss how to deal with the Oara tribe and the Tatar tribe outside the pass.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen was stunned.
Zhu Yunxi frowned and waved his hand in front of Zhu Yunwen's eyes. In the end, he still didn't see his eyes brighten again.
Finally, his hand patted Zhu Yunwen's shoulder, and with a shake of his arm, he pulled Zhu Yunwen hard.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned, but his eyes looked outside Prince Jin's Mansion for no reason.
Zhu Yunxi looked puzzled and said: "I just said that if the Ming Dynasty wants to take over the grassland, it cannot just use the method of killing all the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty to drive them away, but also completely tame them."
Zhu Yunwen's brows were always furrowed.
He looked away and glanced at Zhu Yunxi.
"Can I go home first? Can we talk about these things tomorrow?"
