Zhong Jinwei was still moving forward slowly, paying attention to the situation in the distance.
He saw Ma Xianglin rescue the escaped man, then disarm everyone and escort him over.
Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of thing would this be? A vendetta?
The man who was being chased was walking at the front, looking a little excited, and was saying something to Ma Xianglin as he walked.
Others rushed to speak to Ma Xianglin from time to time, obviously arguing about something.
The people on both sides were getting closer and closer. When the man who was being chased saw Zhong Jinwei, he suddenly became excited and ran over.
Ma Xianglin didn't let anyone stop him, because there were people guarding Zhongxinghou. What could an unarmed man do to Zhongxinghou?
However, when several other people also wanted to run this way, Ma Xianglin had someone stop them and escort them slowly over.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the man running over and felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.[
Seeing that the man was running closer, Zhong Jinwei reined in his horse and prepared to hear what was going on.
The man ran up to Zhong Jinwei's horse, knelt down with a plop, then raised his head and said excitedly to Zhong Jinwei: "Supervisor, Zhongxing Marquis, Marquis, please save Li Laosi quickly, Li Laosi was captured by them.
"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he thought it was a big deal and quickly asked, "Who are you and what's going on?"
"The villain's name is Wei San. He stayed in the camp of King Qin's army a few years ago. He failed to hold on when the troops were eliminated, and even caused Li Laosi to receive a military stick. Don't you remember?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he immediately recalled that there seemed to be such a person, but he admired Li Laosi more at the time, while Wei San didn't pay much attention to him.
With this man taking the number, it's no wonder that Wei San would call himself to supervise the army. It turned out that this was the case.
"Get up and talk. Tell me what happened. What happened to Li Laosi?" Zhong Jinwei said to Wei San.
Wei San stood up and when he heard some movement behind him, he turned around and looked around and found that the group of people who were chasing him had also approached.
Zhong Jinwei followed Wei San's gaze and ordered Ma Xianglin: "Tie those people up."
When those people heard this, they quickly argued: "We are also members of the government, sir, don't believe his lies."
The Baigan Army didn't care whether they argued or not. They just listened to Marquis Zhongxing's order, rushed over, unbuckled their belts, and tied them up.
Since Zhong Jinwei thought of Wei San and knew about his friendship with Li Laosi, not to mention that he had long suspected the government here, he naturally believed in Wei San even more.
Wei San saw that the group had been tied up, so he calmly told Zhong Jinwei what had happened.
It turned out that Wei San accidentally met Li Laosi on the streets of Zhangjiakou. At that time, he was being hunted by local powerful Fan Yongdou's men.
Wei San was shocked and immediately relied on his familiarity to rescue Li Laosi. He understood Li Laosi's purpose of coming to Zhangjiakou and knew that Li Laosi and his companions had been captured by Fan Yongdou's people.[
But as an ordinary citizen, he had no way to deal with Fan Yongdou and his gang, who were more powerful than anyone in Zhangjiakou.
Li Laosi was eager to save people and knew that Zhangjiakou's guards were on the same side as Fan Yongdou, so he decided to come to Xuanfu City to ask for help.
Wei San said nothing, and after telling his wife and children to be careful, he took Li Laosi to avoid Fan Yongdou's people and rushed to Xuanfu City.
There were many yamen in Xuanfu City. Among them, Governor Xuanda moved to Yanghe in the fourth year of Longqing. The highest official was the governor of Xuanfu. The governor's name was Guo Zhicong, but in the second year of Chongzhen he was dismissed from office due to crimes, and the new governor was
Jianlu invaded and no candidate was decided yet, so it was left vacant.
There is also a member of the Imperial Censor who was recalled to the capital due to the restructuring of the imperial supervision system, so he is not in Xuanfu City either.
One of the garrison commanders, Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, is waiting at the camp of King Qin's army in the capital.
Therefore, there are only one minister in charge of food from the Ministry of Household Affairs, one member of the branch guard council and seven deputy patrol envoys left in Xuanfu City.
Li Laosi decided to go see the most powerful household minister in charge of food in Xuanfu City. According to the practice of using civil servants to control military forces, he should be able to control the defense of Zhangjiakou. However, he also took a precaution and asked Wei San to wait for him outside.
As a result, Wei San didn't wait until he came, and neither did he when he waited. Later, he saw Zhangjiakou guards coming to Xuan Mansion to take Li Laosi away. He was so anxious that they discovered that he was helping Li Laosi in Zhangjiakou.
The people who escaped eventually turned into a chase situation that Zhong Jinwei saw.
After Zhong Jinwei heard this, he secretly revealed that it was indeed a collusion between officials and businessmen. He asked Wei San to step aside temporarily and ordered Ma Xianglin to escort the pursuing group.
The group did not expect that Wei San seemed to know the leader, but they did not panic. After being escorted to Zhong Jinwei, the leader, who was as ugly as a ghost and extremely ugly, said plausibly: "Sir, please don't listen to this.
People are talking nonsense. Mr. Fan from Fan Yongdou in Zhangjiakou reported to the garrison master that a group of thieves were coveting his money, so the garrison master sent us to arrest them. This group of thieves was so bold that they dared to come to Xuanfu City and talk nonsense to the household minister in charge of money and food.
They say he is a personal attendant of Marquis Zhongxing, but there is no evidence. He is obviously a thief pretending to be a thief. Please let us go and help us catch this guy."
The man said a lot in one breath, and then waited patiently for Zhong Jinwei's reaction.
"Supervisor, Li Laosi's waist card was lost when they were chasing them in Zhangjiakou."
Before Zhong Jinwei could speak, Yu Haijing suddenly took a step forward and shouted to the leader: "Guitou Qi, do you know who I am?"
Guitou Qi looked at Yu Haijing carefully when he heard the sound, and suddenly exclaimed: "Master Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did Master Fan donate an official position to you?"
When Yu Haijing heard this, he shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. Now I have completely changed my past, serve the imperial court, become a member of the imperial guard, and accompany the Marquis of Zhongxing to arrest the traitors of Tonglu. You guys
Don't deny it anymore, otherwise the king will respect you."
The group of people looked at Yu Haijing in surprise, then at Zhong Jinwei, and their expressions began to show obvious panic.
They did not expect that Fan Yongdou's number one general would defect to the imperial court. In this case, their sophistry seemed stupid and ridiculous. Looking at the fact that the marquis came with troops from other places, he was obviously well prepared.
Zhong Jinwei knew the principle of letting the small ones go and catching the big ones. He said to these minions with a cold face: "Everything must be done from the ground up. There is only one chance."
The leader, Guitou Qi, looked at Zhong Jinwei, then at the white-pole cavalry surrounding them, and finally at Yu Haijing. He thought to himself, when it comes to doing illegal things, Yu Haijing is more unknown than them, but now he is
Suddenly he became a member of the Imperial Guard. If he didn't obey the Marquis, it would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death. It would be better to take refuge in the Marquis.
No matter which aspect they looked at, this was the only way they could choose. So, Guitou Qi took the lead and knelt down, kowtowed to Zhong Jinwei and said: "The Marquis doesn't care about the villain's fault, and the villain is willing to take all the measures. The villain will lead you."
The military master went to save people."
"Say." Zhong Jinwei just uttered one word, but he acquiesced that he could let them go. This made Guitou Qi overjoyed and quickly confessed everything he knew.
Zhong Jinwei frowned when he heard this. Based on what Yu Haijing said before, it was obvious that most people here knew that the merchants in Zhangjiakou were doing business with Jianlu, but they just pretended not to know and thought they were doing business with the Mongols.
Do business, and then collect all kinds of money to make a fortune.
In this way, it also explains why the general of Xuanfu still led troops to Qinwang. Because he did not really collude with Jianlu, he just took the benefits from Zhangjiakou merchants and turned a blind eye.
And these gangsters deal directly with traitorous businessmen, so they naturally know their details. Now that people from different forces, such as Yu Haijing and Guitou Qi, have testified, those traitorous businessmen will not be able to escape.
He also understood the reason why the people sent in advance failed to catch anything and were hunted down.
It turned out that as soon as the Dongchang policemen and their bodyguards who had been sent earlier arrived in Zhangjiakou and inquired about Fan Yongdou, they were targeted by their people.
Even if Gu Baichuan was as smart as Gu Baichuan and knew many secrets in advance, in Zhangjiakou, he was overturned in the gutter and was overturned by Fan Yongdou's people secretly applying medicine.
This search revealed their identities, which surprised Fan Yongdou, who quickly went to the guard to discuss it.
These matters are all open secrets, and the officials who received the benefits pretended not to know about them. But now that the imperial court has sent Dongchang officers to investigate, things will become serious.
The result of their discussion was to secretly silence all the people they captured so that people from the court could come and go. However, because they were afraid that some people would be missed, they temporarily locked up the captured people in the garrison in Zhangjiakou. As long as they confirmed that no fish had slipped through the net,
Will be silenced.
After Zhong Jinwei and Guitou Qi and others finished talking, he asked Yu Haijing to untie them, and then discussed with Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi.
In the end, they came up with a thunderous strategy to defeat the Ten Hui Hui in one fell swoop. No matter what little tricks Fan Yongdou and the others had, they were all in vain in front of the imperial army.
As a result, this army began to speed towards Xuanfu City.
Guitou Qi and others were temporarily placed under the control of Hai Jing, and they followed the army in a daze.
Just a moment ago, those who were arresting the court for Fan Yongdou, now in the blink of an eye, they have become people of the court, working hard to arrest Fan Yongdou and defend. How fast the world has changed!
After about an hour, Xuanfu City was right in front of us.
The Xuanfu City of the Ming Dynasty was expanded and built on the basis of the Xuandefu Tucheng of the Yuan Dynasty in the 27th year of Hongwu. The city has a circumference of 12 kilometers and has four city gates in the east, west, south and north. Above the city gate
, built four mighty gate towers, and built four turrets on the four corners of the city wall. The city wall was covered with blue bricks.
This important northern town located in Xuanhua territory was difficult to capture in the cold weapon era without ten times the force.
The guards of Xuanfu City soon discovered the passing army in the distance. Because they knew in advance that the imperial court had sent Marquis Zhongxing to distribute military pay, they did not panic. After seeing clearly, they immediately sent people back to the city to report the news.
Before the officials in the city could rush out to greet them, Zhong Jinwei and the others entered the Xuanfu city gate.
The Baigan Army quickly took over the city gate, and then separated out 300 people, ordered the city gate defenders to accompany them, and went from the top of the city to the other three gates, executing the military order ordered by Zhongxing Hou to control the city gate and only allow entry and no exit.
.
Zhong Jinwei took the remaining troops to the governor's Yamen, where he waited for officials from all walks of life in the city to come and pay homage to the imperial envoy.
