Yuan Bin personally led people to a large mansion outside the Bell and Drum Tower.
He raised his head and looked at the four characters "Pengcheng Bofu" at the door, and waved: "Do it!"
The lieutenants immediately dispersed, and a group of people went to guard the back door, and then someone went to knock on the door.
Dong dong dong...
After a few shots, the door creaked open a crack, and the concierge poked his head out with an unkind expression: "Who is it..."
Before he finished speaking, a steel knife was placed unceremoniously across his neck.
The concierge was immediately frightened and said, "You... who are you? Do you know... what... this place is!"
As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, this concierge is used to being arrogant, but at this time, he has not realized the danger and is still making rude remarks.
Bang!
What was waiting was not an explanation, but a kick in the face.
The concierge only felt a pain in his chest, and his body flew out. He screamed in pain: "I have rebelled against you. My master is Uncle Peng Cheng. How dare you..."
A man from the household came forward, held a scabbard and slapped it on the man's mouth. There was another snap, and a few bloody teeth flew out.
"Jin Yiwei is doing something, who are you? You are making noise here!"
The concierge finally realized that he was afraid and covered his mouth with both hands. The pain made him shed tears, but he never dared to make a sound again.
Yuan Bin glanced behind him and said in a deep voice: "Capture Jia Gui first, uncle's family members, and those who dare to escape will be captured immediately. The front and back doors must be strictly guarded, and not a fly can enter or leave!"
As soon as he entered the first door, several guards came towards him, with arrogant expressions on their faces, shouting: "What are the people from Jinyiwei doing here? Don't you know who my master is?"
The captains stepped forward quickly, their hands already on their waists.
One of the nursing staff didn't understand the situation yet, so he took action with a stick.
Sonorous!
There was a flash of cold light, and the guard was stabbed in the chest. His body twitched, as if he did not expect that the other party would actually use the knife. He groaned, with a look of unwillingness on his face, and fell backwards.
At the same time, dozens of Tiqi and captains drew their swords one after another, and the sound of unsheathing could be heard.
Seeing the other party making serious moves, these nursing homes were so frightened that they almost collapsed, and they dared not come forward.
Yuan Bin's face was as cold as frost, and he stepped forward step by step without looking at the nursing homes. He said coldly: "If there is resistance, shoot without mercy!"
Before the words were spoken, everyone was already lying on the ground in a hurry, holding their heads in their hands, not daring to express their anger.
The rest of the people rushed into the depths of the mansion, with little resistance along the way. After a while, in the lobby, a captain grabbed one person and came out.
This man was about forty years old. He looked flustered at this time, as if he had been humiliated and cursed: "Do you know who I am? Do you know whose house this is?"
Yuan Bin stepped forward and showed his badge.
"Jinyiwei?"
The man snorted coldly and said: "So what about the Jin Yiwei? My master is Uncle Peng Cheng. When the emperor sees him, he will call him cousin. If he knows what he means, he should stop immediately. Otherwise, your family will be ruined!"
Yuan Bin looked at this person and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
"It's just you..."
Snap!
Yuan Bin slapped him in the face and said angrily: "Just say whatever I ask you. Who are you?"
"I, I..."
Snap!
Another slap came, and the man's mouth started to bleed, and he started to look a little panicked, and said: "I am... the big housekeeper here, Jia... Jia Gui."
Yuan Bin nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Does having liaison with foreign enemies have anything to do with your master?"
"What...what..."
Jia Gui's face suddenly changed, he was trembling and speechless.
"Do you know Mantulu?"
"Man...Man...I don't know you!"
Jia Gui's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly.
"Take them to Zhao Prison and let them confront each other!"
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
As soon as Jia Gui heard that he was going to Zhao Prison, he was so frightened that he became incontinent and a stream of yellow and white stuff flowed out of his pants.
After taking the person away, Yuan Bin looked up and walked into the front hall.
Pengcheng Bo Zhang Kejian has been waiting for a long time.
"My humble commander Yuan Bin has met Uncle Peng Cheng!"
"Jinyiwei?"
Zhang Kejian sneered, walked up to Yuan Bin, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped him away.
As a relative, you have been used to being arrogant since you were a child. So what if Jin Yiwei doesn’t care? I will beat you!
However, he was disappointed this time.
Yuan Bin suddenly stretched out his hand, and Zhang Kejian felt as if his wrist was clamped by iron pliers, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead in pain.
"You...are presumptuous!"
Snap!
Yuan Bin grabbed his wrist with his left hand, swung it with his right hand and slapped him. Zhang Kejian was stunned.
He never expected that he, the emperor's cousin, would be beaten sometimes.
"Uncle Pengcheng, do you want to chat here or go to Zhao Prison?"
Zhang Kejian raised his head blankly and asked: "Why should I go to Zhao Prison? What have I committed?"
"Isn't it enough to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"
"What?"
Zhang Kejian almost jumped up and asked: "I am the great Ming Dynasty uncle Peng Cheng, how can I possibly collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"
"Jia Gui is your housekeeper?"
"Yes...yes!"
"Do you know that he sold information to Tatar spies?"
Zhang Kejian shook his head vigorously and said: "I don't know, I don't know!"
"In this case, I would like to ask my uncle to deign to go to Zhao Prison. I will make my own decision on the right and wrong!"
"Don't... don't!"
Zhang Kejian was so frightened that his face was livid and he went to Zhao Prison. How could there be an arbitral adjudication?
"I admit that I have done some fur business with the Tatar Ministry in recent years, but it was limited to business. I really haven't done anything else!"
"It's useless to talk too much, take it away!"
"Don't...it's unfair, it's unfair!"
No matter how Zhang Kejian shouted, Yuan Bin showed no mercy and forcibly took him back to Zhao Prison.
The next day, Yuan Bin hurried to the Imperial Study Room with the transcript of his confession.
Zhu Qizhen read the transcript in front of him and asked: "Are you saying that Uncle Peng Cheng did not commit any crimes, but was just used?"
Yuan Bin nodded and replied: "After investigation, Uncle Peng Cheng did indeed smuggle fur goods with the Tatars and had no intention of collaborating with the enemy."
Zhu Qizhen nodded. It seemed that Zhang Kejian, a fool, was really taken advantage of by the Tatars.
He thought that the Tatars came to him to do business for money, but he did not expect that they were interested in the name Peng Chengbo. He used this identity to open up the customs channel, and then bought information from all over the world and passed it on to outside the customs.
Jia Gui was only one of the informants bribed by the Tatars. The rest, the fur trader Mantulu, had already confessed, and the Jin Yiwei began to arrest people.
Those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country will naturally be killed without mercy.
But, how to deal with Zhang Kejian?
Call him a collaborator. What he did in these years was just smuggling, and it did not rise to the level of treason.
However, it all happened because of him.
Zhu Qizhen was upset and ordered: "Give the person to the Ministry of Punishment and tell them that this case does not need to be based on anyone's sentiments and should be handled impartially according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"
