The news that Dongchang had been taken over by Manchu spies spread quickly in the capital, and the government and the public paid great attention to it. Jinyiwei and Nanchang both launched a large-scale search and arrests. All thirteen gates in the capital sent Nachang's followers to guard the Imperial Guard.
With the cooperation of the police, they checked the crowds coming in and out, and detained hundreds of suspicious persons every day. Outsiders only thought they were arresting Manchu and Qing agents, but insiders knew that those arrested in the South Factory were not Qing people, but colleagues in the East Factory.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Wei Zhongxian's plan to assassinate Marquis Zhenwu has spread to the ears of some big shots in the court, such as Qian Qianyi, Yuan Chonghuan, Qi Zhenming, Xu Zengshou, etc. They all kept silent invariably, even intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone knew that Wei Zhongxian was a little too big this time and pushed Marquis Zhenwu to a dead end. If Liu Ziguang didn't get angry, he wouldn't be Liu Ziguang. It doesn't matter if Nanchang took over Dongchang, at least he could
Dilute Liu Ziguang's anger and resentment. If his old man's evil anger cannot be unleashed, I'm afraid there will be a civil war in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao was scolded by his mother and became much more honest. He squatted in Taiye Pond and played with model steamboats for several days without going to court. Wei Zhongxian was even worse. He was punished to face the wall in the Fengxian Hall of the East Palace. The power of the Governor is still there.
Those little eunuchs were rushing back and forth to spread the news. One moment they said that the Yamen of Dongchang had been bloodbathed, the next they said that all the outside officials had lost their wind, and the next they said that all the secret strongholds in Dongchang had been taken out. Wei Zhongxian was so anxious.
He was like an ant on a hot pot, but without the emperor's edict, he would not dare to leave without authorization. Even if he arrived at the scene in person, what could he do? Liu Ziguang caught him and didn't chop him with a knife. In comparison, he was still honest.
It is more reliable to hide it in Fengxian Hall.
The people of Nachang not only bloodbathed Dongchang, but also stole a large number of secret files. The files recorded Dongchang's secret contact points and the identities of spies in various places. There were more than ten secret strongholds in the capital alone. Nachang searched for them according to the map.
, all the strongholds were demolished within one day, and then through interrogation of the prisoners, they obtained the more secret locations of the strongholds, including the legendary lair of Mr. Sima, the first think tank of Eunuch Wei.
By the time the Nanchang fans pounced on him, Mr. Sima had already escaped. The scholar's ingenuity was put to great use at this moment. On the morning when the news of the bloodbath at the Dongchang headquarters came, Sima Sheng acted in accordance with the principle that a gentleman should avoid danger.
The ancient sayings under the wall packed up the gold and silver treasures and famous paintings and ancient books given to him by Wei Eunuch at lightning speed. After packing a small baggage, the soles of his feet were greased, and he did not forget to take them with him before leaving.
A beautiful girl to relieve the loneliness on the way to escape.
Thanks to the woman's cover and Sima Sheng's calmness and composure, he managed to escape from the capital without any danger. After leaving the city, Sima Sheng let out a long sigh and said to himself that all my efforts have been in vain and my bright future is gone.
Destroyed at the hands of Liu Ziguang, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Wait until I take a break from the limelight and start over again, and then I will smile and watch the storm rise.
Although Sima Sheng escaped, he left traces after all. Nanchang arrested several maids from his house and interrogated them overnight. Based on their confessions, they drew a shadow pattern and put up posters everywhere to arrest this person and gave Sima Sheng the title of Guan.
It was the fifth-rank officer of the Military Aircraft Department of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. It was this person who disguised himself and infiltrated into the East Factory. He gained Wei Zhongxian's trust and became the military advisor of the East Factory. This led to this disaster. The special forces of the Military Aircraft Department of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties mastered the details of the Dongchang.
It swept through the entire factory, causing heavy casualties. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei was not working in the factory that night, otherwise he would not have been spared.
With such a big thing happening at the emperor's feet, the Nanchang, as a counter-espionage agency, naturally had to take on a big responsibility. Their response was really fast. In three days, they arrested hundreds of Manchu and Qing undercover agents lurking inside the Dongchang.
Of course, it is inevitable that one or two people may be caught wrongly. At this juncture, it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one person go.
After this catastrophe, Dongchang was finished. The dead, injured, and living were all treated as undercover agents and imprisoned in the prison of Nanchang. Dongchang, which used to be glorious and dazzling in the past and was synonymous with the gate of hell in the hearts of the people, has now become
In a deserted house that no one dared to enter, the situation of two factories and one guard standing side by side was instantly broken. Facing the flourishing South Factory, the Jin Yiwei did not dare to stand alone and could only carefully cooperate with them to capture the "Manchu undercover agents".
After all, Liu Ziguang did not kill Wei Zhongxian because Wei Zhongxian still had a deep relationship with the emperor. Killing him would definitely leave a shadow on Zhu Youxiao's heart. It would be better to cut off his wings and turn him into a toothless tiger.
Wei Zhongxian faced the wall and thought about it. Zhu Youxiao pretended to be ill and did not go to court. The affairs of the court fell on the cabinet. This was an unexpected surprise. Qian Qianyi suddenly felt that he was the fisherman in the fable of the crane and the clam, so he did not
He stepped forward to help Dongchang speak up, and he was happy to make a fortune in silence.
This time Liu Ziguang turned misfortune into good fortune, not only did he not suffer any bad luck, but he also made a huge fortune. His fat son helped him get not only three baskets of gold, silver and jewelry, but also a crown and
A title of earl is not rare for us. This title of vassal king cannot be bought with money. If Wei Zhongxian hadn't used the birth date to embarrass our baby, we would never have thought of doing this. Now it's fine and it's justifiable.
The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. Although this country is a bit small, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. No matter how bad it is, it can penetrate the purple python. When others see it, they have to address it as Your Highness. Of course, the biggest gain is to settle the East Factory.
From now on, the notorious name Dongchang will be swept into the garbage heap of history. This is all the blessing brought by his precious son Liu Kangang.
Qingdao's Navy Bu Yong went out to sea and went back again. The gunboats in the Shanghai Shipyard were not launched. The students from the Jiangwu Hall were fully armed and climbed the Purple Mountain for a long time. They were told that this was a routine exercise.
The soldiers of the red shirt regiment also had a false alarm. It was a lucky thing for them that the battle did not start in the end, because their children were all in the capital, and they would definitely be harmed by the military disaster.
In short, everything has passed. The Marquis of Zhenwu is still as proud as ever, and the old subordinates are still as good as ever. The East Factory has been revoked, and the market of the South Factory is bullish. Liu Ziguang took advantage of the trend and recruited a group of people to expand the team of the South Factory, and stepped up the attack on Huguang.
Investigation into the Jiangdi fraud case and the murder of Nanchang Fanzi.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that instead of killing the officials of the investigation team, only attacking the people of the South Factory is obviously to sow discord and provoke conflicts between Liu Ziguang and the Donglin Party.
It should be reported that due to the good news blockade, before the news of Dongchang's destruction reached Huguang, Nanchang's killers had already arrived in Wuhan. According to the map, they annihilated Dongchang's secret stronghold and arrested more than a dozen Dongchang gangsters.
I took a piece of iron wire through the pipa bone and took it to the riverside to plant lotus flowers.
In view of the fact that the investigation team was attacked and all documents, archives and testimonies were destroyed, Nanchang took drastic measures and intervened in the investigation of the case with forceful means.
According to the Chasi Yamen, Gao Yifei was sitting in the back hall in casual clothes reading. After his hat was taken off, he did not move out of the official residence because everyone knew that this was just a common trick in the officialdom. He took off his hat temporarily and felt aggrieved.
The above trouble was dealt with, and the natural officer was reinstated. Although Mr. Gao did not wear official uniforms or veils, he was still in charge of the affairs of the Huguang Judicial Office with the same arrogance as before.
The investigation team was attacked, several people died, and a batch of files were burned. The officials who survived were so frightened that they hid in the yamen all day and did not dare to go out, let alone investigate anything. If this continues, it will not end at the end.
Although he didn't know which force was responsible for attacking the investigation team, Gao Yifei understood that it must be a battle of wits among the top officials of the imperial court.
When he was reading happily, a servant suddenly reported: "Master, something bad has happened. The young master has been arrested by the officers and soldiers!" Gao Yifei was shocked and said: "Which officer and soldier are he from the yamen? Don't you know that Xiong'er is an official?"
"They said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. By the way, these people have accents from the capital. They don't seem to be officers and soldiers from Huguang."
Just as he was talking, another subordinate came to report: all the prisoners in Hanyang Prison were taken over, and the prison warden and some jailers were detained. They said they wanted to investigate the matter of torture and extortion of confessions.
Gao Yifei couldn't sit still. Could it be that the Qiange Department was planning to abandon him? Could it be that the court had undergone earth-shaking changes? He thought for a moment and said, "Prepare the sedan chair. I'm going to patrol the Censor's Yamen on the Yangtze River."
Just as he was about to go out, a group of people came face to face, wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives, and black iron chains. The leader showed his waistband and said: "Nanchang is on business, please go back and have tea with Gao Yifei!"
The sedan stopped, and Gao Yifei opened the sedan curtain. He said calmly: "Asshole, the emperor has a decree. The South Factory is only responsible for detecting foreign spies, and has no right to interfere with local cases. What's more, a third-grade official like me, don't forget
Yes, even though I’ve removed Wusha from the Imperial Guard, I still have the title of Jinshi, how can you just take it as you say?”
Gao Yifei was not afraid when he saw that he was from Nanchang. What he was afraid of was that Jin Yiwei would come to take him. That would mean that Mr. Qian regarded him as an abandoned son. Since the other party was from Nanchang, it meant that the half-hearted Liu Ziguang did not accept him.
The routine is out. This situation must be stabilized. Don't be afraid of them. As long as time is delayed, Master Qian and Master Qi will definitely find a way to save it.
"Who said we were going to arrest you? Our south factory's rule is just to invite you to drink tea. It means that you drink tea and explain your problems at the specified time and place at the specified time. It is not considered an arrest. By the way, your young master is also with us.
They are drinking tea there. You and your son are just exchanging your experiences about drinking tea. Take it away with me!" The leader waved his hand, and a group of people rushed up, roughly lowering the sedan curtain, and intimidating the four bearers.
Walking towards Nanchang's office in Wuhan, Gao Yifei didn't have any decent servants around him, and the guards at the Chasi Yamen didn't dare to say much, so they had no choice but to let him be taken away by Nanchang.
