() This group of people is Dongchang Fanzi led by Wang Peng. Because they set out early and Wang Peng, the person involved, took the lead, they gained a lot.
The horse thief who was dismounted by Yan Yingyuan escaped unharmed. Knowing that the situation was not good, he fled on foot. Therefore, he did not join Liang Biao and luckily escaped the fate of being poisoned.
However, his luck stopped there. Because he had no horse, he was eventually tracked by Wang Peng. He caught up with him, recognized him, and captured him at a place more than ten miles away from the incident.
Unfortunately, this person had only joined the horse bandits not long ago and had no idea who Liang Biao was.
Seeing that Wang Peng could not find out who was behind it, he took him to raid the horse thieves' lair to see if he could gain anything.
When he could see the mountain where the horse thief's den was located, Wang Peng ordered to hide. The horse thief had already admitted that there was a lookout post on the top of the mountain through Dongchang's tricks.
Wang Pengyi was bold and asked others to hide on the spot and wait for the signal. He planned to kill the lookout post first, and then notify others to wait, making sure to catch all the horse thieves.
If it weren't for the need to buy time and mobilize a large group of troops, we wouldn't have to worry about the lookout posts or not, and just encircle them directly. Now it's a bit troublesome.
I don't know if Wang Peng was lucky or if he was too sloppy. He lurked all the way to the back of the mountain, but there was still no movement.
When he reached the top of the hill, he found that there was indeed a horse thief on the top. However, the horse thief did not notice him behind him at all. He was concentrating on looking in the opposite direction of Wang Peng. He also heard the horse thief muttering to himself.
Said: "It can't be that the leader is back. It's impossible for other cavalry to come straight to the mountain col."
Wang Peng was startled after hearing this. There was a cavalry coming straight here? This horse thief was dreaming. His leader had already reported to King Yama. Who could be coming?
The horse thief was still talking to himself: "Forget it, let's report first so as not to break the leader's rules."
Just when the horse thief was about to turn around, Wang Peng suddenly pounced on him, and at the same time, he slashed at the horse thief's neck with his sword.
The horse thief didn't even expect that there was someone behind him. He still looked surprised until his head rolled to the ground.
As soon as the horse thief was killed, Wang Peng stood where the horse thief was and looked in the direction the horse thief was looking just now.
Sure enough, a cavalry team came straight towards the den of horse thieves. At this time, they could see clearly that they were from the Beijing camp.
Wang Peng thought to himself: He came faster than us. When did Beijing Camp become so powerful?
You still have to say hello to the brother departments when you meet them. Dongchang has to be involved in some things in the den of thieves. So, Wang Peng started walking down. When he reached a corner, he could clearly see the small square in the mountain col.
Case.
The horse thieves inside had already heard the sound of the hoofbeats of the large group of horses and had not heard the alarm from the top of the mountain. They thought that the leader who was out working had brought his brothers back, and they all came out unprepared.
In order to avoid being discovered by them, Wang Peng quickly lay down.
The horse thieves who came out soon realized that something was wrong. There was no noise like in the past after returning from a job. The sound of horse hooves was still as rapid and showed no signs of slowing down.
While they were standing there in shock and confusion, the troops from the Beijing camp appeared in front of them, grinning ferociously, raising their sabers high, and rushed towards these unsuspecting horse thieves.
This group of cavalrymen in the Beijing camp killed everyone they saw. There was no idiom like "those who resist will be killed, those who throw knives will avoid death". Wang Peng was about to show up to stop them from killing people, and Dongchang wanted to arrest anyone alive. This
At that time, he found that there were no living horse thieves in the square.
Then I heard a leader of the Beijing camp ordering: "Set a fire, burn this place clean, and kill everyone who escapes the fire alive."
When Wang Peng heard this, his professional sensitivity made him feel that something was not quite right, so he did not show up and continued to observe.
Wang Peng found that the cavalry troops in the Beijing camp were more ruthless than those in the East Factory. They set fire to all the houses and killed all the horse thieves and their families, including children and women, who escaped.
The fire gradually became bigger and bigger, and fewer and fewer people could escape. In the end, no one was seen running out. After the fire became smaller and extinguished, the people in the Beijing camp began to check if there were still any survivors.
Wang Peng suddenly heard movement behind him, and when he turned around to prepare for the response, he realized that it was Dongchang's companions. It turned out that they saw that Wang Peng had not sent a signal for a long time, and there was a fire here, and they were worried about Wang Peng's safety, so they came to make an announcement.
It depends.
Wang Peng quickly silenced him and then went back to see what was happening below.
The group of cavalrymen from the Beijing Camp below had inspected all the places and found no more survivors. They all left quickly with a roar, without even checking the horse thieves' belongings.
It was so fast because they probably didn't want people to find out that they had been here.
The new fan also saw that something was wrong. When did the people in Jingying become so rich that they no longer looked down upon the property in this den of thieves?
Wang Peng took the newly arrived Fanzi back to the top of the mountain, and after confirming that the Beijing cavalry had gone far away, he sent a signal to his companions in the distance, and then the two of them went down to see if there were any clues.
Liang Biao usually came in person to explain to the leader, or asked the third son of a traitor in the capital to come back to convey the instructions, so there were not many useful things left at all. Even if there were a few few things, they would be lost in this fire.
Turned into ashes.
Naturally, Wang Peng couldn't find any useful clues. After the horse thief came with the people from Dongchang, he saw that everything he had ever known was reduced to ashes, and everyone he knew was lying in a pool of blood. He suddenly glared, gnashed his teeth, and roared to the sky.
.
The cavalry just now killed all the people here in such a short period of time and burned everything. Whether it was the government or the horse thieves, they basically would not kill the defenseless women and children among the horse thieves.
At this time, he vaguely knew in his heart that he had been murdered and silenced.
He knelt down in front of Wang Peng and said: "Sir, this group of people just now must have been sent by people from the Beijing camp to silence them. I hope you will find out clearly."
Wang Peng frowned. This horse thief didn't see anyone from the Beijing camp, so how could he insist that he was from the Beijing camp? So he asked, "Don't make random false accusations."
"My lord, I have noticed that when I was drinking with my old brothers, I heard them say that they were lucky. When they were surrounded and suppressed, the Beijing camp let them go, and they no longer have to worry about it. This time they paid for their lives.
They must be related to the Beijing camp, and only they have the ability and reason to kill everyone here." The horse thief kowtowed.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he didn't care how big the power of Jingying was. He originally held on to the hope that if he fell into the hands of the government, he might be able to save himself. However, he found that the outcome would only be to kill people and silence them.
So his heart died.
Wang Peng then asked how these horse thieves were let go by the Beijing camp and what conditions were in place at that time. But the horse thieves knew nothing about it.
Wang Peng stopped asking, and he basically knew in his heart that even if he didn't know the situation back then, based on the current situation, the Beijing camp was probably inseparable.
The current situation must be reported to the factory boss. Wang Peng thought of this, so he summoned his colleagues who were still trying to find clues, and asked people to dress up the horse thief, pretend to be a Dongchang fan, and go to the capital to find the factory boss.
Zhong Jinwei got up early in the morning and started to get busy. He brought six oil bottles, which were the six guards of Dongchang. Before Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng had time to report, they made up six more and escorted Zhong Jinwei with them.
Zhong Jinwei's move was actually very simple. There was only one box, which contained the remaining silver and the clothes he wore when he first came to this world. Then he was left empty-handed and had nothing.
However, Emperor Chongzhen personally gave him a plaque with five characters inscribed "Zhongxing Earl's Mansion", and Wang Chengen also gave him some silver in private. Apart from this, no one else he knew knew that Zhong Jinwei had moved early in the morning. So why did he move?
The new house ceremony is all omitted, which is considered to be in line with the situation.
There were only three maids and Yu Haining's family in the Earl of Zhongxing's Mansion. They had received the notice and had cleaned up early to prepare for this day.
