When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you Jianlu. I'll go and see for myself."
After saying that, he walked down the hall and prepared to go out.
As a result, Zhao Zhensong, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked and was about to confess. Why did the chief interrogator leave!
He put his hands on the ground and tried his best to lift his upper body and said to Zhong Jinwei, who had walked to his side: "Marquis, Lord Marquis, the criminal Zhao Zhensong is willing to recruit, and we will not hide anything."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he remembered this useless person on the ground. It didn't make much sense whether he should be recruited or not, because he already knew the basic situation through Yu Haijing, Guitou Qi and others. Just asking Zhao Zhensong to plead guilty would help this great power.
It's just the conclusion of the case.
Looking at the man's surrendered look, Zhong Jinwei turned around and said to a leader of the White Army who was following behind him: "Get a clerk to record his confession for me."
After he finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Zhao Zhensong lying there dumbfounded. This criminal confessed to such an embarrassing state. It is probably rare since ancient times!
Zhong Jinwei left the garrison, took the reins of the war horse handed over by the white-poled sergeant, quickly got on his horse, and then was led by the messenger to Fan Yongdou's lair.[
Since the early years of Wanli, Shanxi merchants have begun to gather in Zhangjiakou in large numbers and settle down to set up shops to engage in trade with Mongolia.
originally
The characteristic of Zhangjiakou is that it is mainly commercial. There are shops on both sides of the street, and goods from all over the country are sold more or less. There are Nanjing Grosgrain Shop, Suhang Silk Shop, Luzhou Bianyou Shop, Zezhou Papu, etc.
Linqing's cloth shops, woolen yarn shops, grocery stores, etc., all trade shops, stretch for about four or five miles, and this place is usually very busy.
But at this time, there were no merchants coming and going on the street, but there were many soldiers. There were soldiers standing every few steps on the street, enforcing martial law.
Because of the sudden action, many merchants were stranded in the shops at that time. Regardless of their background, as long as they dared to go out on the street, they would be shot back.
This unprecedented martial law made everyone feel a little panicked. They didn't know what had happened, but they actually sent out a large army to enforce martial law.
Zhong Jinwei was jogging down the street on horseback, followed by a long line of white-pole cavalry. The white-pole cavalry was at the front, followed by the white-pole infantry trotting forward. The sound of neat footsteps attracted people inside the shop to watch.
"These are the chieftain's army, why did they come to Zhangjiakou?" One person asked suspiciously when he saw that these soldiers were wearing rattan armor and were obviously not from the Central Plains army.
The merchants traveled all over the country and had more knowledge than ordinary people. One man saw that these soldiers wearing rattan armor all held long white spears with a barb on one end of the spear, which was very strange. He suddenly remembered and screamed
Said: "These are the white-poled troops from Shizhu, Sichuan. Aren't they still in the Qinwang area in Gyeonggi Province? Why did they suddenly appear in Zhangjiakou? Is the leader the legendary Xiao Ma Chao? But it doesn't seem to be one-eyed!"
After saying this, other people who had heard about the reputation of the White Guards Army suddenly realized when they saw the uniforms of this army and were sure that this was the White Guards Army.
"You don't have to guess, the imperial court has won the Battle of Gyeonggi. The person who passed by just now is not that Xiao Ma Chao." A voice sounded from the side near the counter.
Everyone looked back and saw a middle-aged businessman with a big belly. Some people recognized him as a rich man from Houjiapu, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know him? You are staying in Houjiapu and don't go out. How can you know this guy just now?"
people?"
This merchant was exactly the one Zhong Jinwei met on the road. At this time, he recalled the murderous intent he felt when he was surrounded by those white-pole troops, and he still felt scared.
He quickly recovered from his memories and did not show off his rare knowledge that he knew better than others. He said with lingering fear: "This is the Zhongxing Marquis of the imperial court just now. He is a Marquis. These white-pole troops he brought
They all have a murderous aura, which cannot be compared to the troops like Zhangjiakou."
"Zhongxinghou? I've never heard of it. When did the imperial court grant the title of Zhongxinghou?" A person next to him asked curiously.[
"I know this. It turns out that Marquis Zhongxing is so young!" Another person sighed.
When other people heard this, they all gathered around this person to ask about the situation.
So, he said mysteriously: "You don't know that the origin of the Zhongxing Marquis in the capital is very mysterious! Some say that he is a deity descending to earth, while others say that Taizu saw the chaos in the Ming Dynasty and sent him from heaven to assist the current emperor.
"
His audience ranged from disbelief to wonder to curiosity. Everyone surrounded him and asked endless questions.
At that moment, this person gossiped about what he heard to these people. No matter what it was, as long as you passed it on to me and I passed it on to him, everything would be different from the original truth.
After hearing this, these people were a little nervous. Such a person suddenly came to Zhangjiakou in a big way. Why did it happen?
When they didn't think about it, they warned each other not to cause trouble, not to conflict with the soldiers outside, and to wait for things to develop.
However, some people had different opinions and said: "We don't dare to conflict with the soldiers outside, but there are still people in this family who probably won't be afraid. Maybe there will be a conflict. I don't know how this god will deal with it then?"
"
"You mean?" one person started, and then pointed in the direction of Qingshui River in the northwest.
The man who just spoke nodded and said: "In addition to giving some face to the eight major Shanxi merchants here, those people are the defenders who usually don't take much notice. If you say that martial law is suddenly implemented, will they?
Are you making a fuss?"
Everyone in the shop was convinced after hearing this, and everyone nodded in agreement with this view.
Naturally, Zhong Jinwei didn't know what was being said about him in the shops along the way. Under the leadership of Guitou Qi and others, he arrived at the wealthy residential area in the west of the city.
Far away, he saw a row of houses that were very conspicuous, making Zhong Jinwei feel like he was in the Forbidden City. This was the Fan family house commonly known as "Little Jinluan" by the locals.
Ma Xianglin and Kong Fang had already received the report that Marquis Zhongxing had come in person, so they were already waiting at the door, with Yu Haijing also behind them.
After Zhong Jinwei arrived at the door, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and then said to the horse and Kong who came up to him: "What on earth is going on?"
Of course, Zhong Jinwei's question was answered by Ma Xianglin, who had the highest status: "Going back to the Marquis, when Yu Haijing led us into the third entrance, Fan Yongdou's servants began to resist. Then the fifth entrance has sealed the gate, and we need to attack by force.
.And I vaguely heard the Jurchen language inside, and I was afraid that there were Jianlu Tatars inside. So I sent someone to ask the Marquis for instructions."
Zhong Jinwei didn't stop in his footsteps. As he walked towards the door, he praised: "You've got it right! Yu Haijing."
Yu Haijing, who was following Ma Xianglin, quickly replied: "My subordinate is here."
"In the past, when Fan Yongdou and others were trading with Jianlu, did Jianlu come directly to Zhangjiakou?" Zhong Jinwei asked.
"Yes, Lord Marquis. At first, Jianlu only used the Mongols to do business with Shanxi merchants, but later he came to do the transactions himself, and was treated as a distinguished guest by the Shanxi merchants." Yu Haijing explained in a little detail.
When the soldiers standing guard on both sides of the door saw Zhong Jinwei approaching, they all stood up and saluted.
Although Zhong Jinwei has been ranked as a marquis, he has been greatly influenced by red movies and TV series in later generations, so he will return the gift, which makes the soldiers on guard very surprised. They feel that this marquis from the capital is so different.
Zhong Jinwei was more concerned about Fan Yongdou's whereabouts. He asked: "Have you caught Fan Yongdou?"
"Going back to the Marquis, according to the confession of Fan's family members, Fan Yongdou is inside." Ma Xianglin immediately replied.
"Okay, as long as the people are here, what's the status of the arrests of the other Shanxi merchants?" Zhong Jinwei asked.
"It's going well, it's just that Fan Mansion is in trouble." Ma Xianglin answered again, and Kong Fang followed behind.
As he was talking, he came to the fifth courtyard, which was filled with soldiers, including the White Guard Army and Kong Fang's men.
When Zhong Jinwei came over, Ma Xianglin had already arranged everything. Archers were placed at several commanding heights on the roof, and rows of sword and shield men were also squatting on the ridge, waiting for orders to attack.
In front of the fifth courtyard, there are wooden logs and small artillery placed there, not only facing the gate, but also the courtyard walls are within the attack range.
The army is a truly violent group. As long as they want to fight, they cannot be resisted by ordinary guards or fortresses.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the situation and directly ordered: "Fan Yongdou and Jianlu should be captured alive as much as possible. The rest should resist with weapons and shoot without mercy."
