A quarter after midnight, the gate of the prison gate in the city opened. The policemen who had been stationed in the prison last night to assist the defense filed out and went to the east to follow the inspector's office. Chen, Zhou, Zhao and others who had been guarding outside the prison street all night
The family members all gathered around. Zhao Qinmin's family still had a young man staying here. They didn't know that Zhao Qinmin's son had taken Yang Pu out in a carriage last night.
At this time, one after another jailers used the door panels to carry out the three people who were bloody and bloody, and threw them outside the door for their families to claim. Another jailer posted a notice on the notice wall on the side of the camp gate. Only then did everyone realize that Zhao Jin, Zhao Qinmin’s son, had been released from prison last night.
They were taken back by their family members, and the other three were beaten to death for thirty years to carry out their crimes. However, seeing these three people's bloody flesh and blood, they were tortured in the middle of the night and have not been treated until now.
.
The front of the yamen was never a place to be reasonable. There was a lot of crying and howling, so the doctor who had been invited to stay overnight treated him quickly and took him home.
The young man sent by Zhao Qinmin to guard outside the prison was also a servant of Wang Xueshan's family. After joining Zhao Qinmin, he became literate and could understand the notices. When he saw something was wrong, he did not dare to go back directly to report to Wang Xueshan. He was guarding Dongshi.
They waited in the alley outside for a familiar servant to come out to buy something. After asking around, they found out that Zhao Qinmin's family had defected to Gu Wuchen overnight. The old servant sent to serve Zhao Qinmin's family was beaten to death with a cane, and the maidservants were also sold to a prostitute village. The little girl
Naturally, he didn't dare to go back. He half-robbed and half-borrowed a few pieces of silver from an acquaintance of the Wang family's servants, and ran towards the nearest city gate.
Chen Zhi's family was fine; Zhou Tai, Zhao Qigui's old wife, family, and maids rushed back to the house, only to find that the house had been surrounded by hundreds of horse infantry, archers, policemen, and government officials.
He was caught red-handed, and even the doctor who was hired from outside was arrested and taken away without asking any questions.
It wasn't until daylight that anyone from the neighbors dared to come out and look through the gate to see what was going on. They thought it was the police officers who were raiding the houses of Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui, but they found out about this after looking at the notice posted next to the gate.
The people who ransacked the house were people from Jiangning Mansion.
Many people were suddenly confused. Aren't the Zhou family and the Zhao family all the bastards of King Yin Xueshan of Jiangning Prefecture?
The Fourth City Lieutenant of the Military and Horse Division posted the arrest documents for Zhao Qinmin's family, and the news that Zhao Qinmin's son was released from the prison in the city last night spread. Those with sensitive senses of smell immediately understood what was going on, and knew that Jiang Ning
The water in the city is becoming increasingly turbid.
In addition to Jiangning Mansion and the two yamen of the Inspector General's Office, the yamen with real power in Jiangning Mansion include the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy Office, the Jiangdong Admiral's Mansion and the Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion. The residences of these yamen chief officials also immediately became lively.
Even the high-ranking tomb-keepers from the Sixth Department of Jiangning are ready to take action and wait and see the situation. If Gu Wuchen can bring down Jiangning Fuyin, a third-rank local official, it will be really lively. Some people are worried about being implicated, while others just want to take action.
Some people are worried that the water is not lively enough, some people are worried that the water is too muddy, and some people want to fish in the muddy water.
*************
Jiangning Mansion's actions were finally two beats too slow. When the wanted documents for Zhao Qinmin's family were sent to Donghua Gate, Lin Fu and the others had already passed by Donghua Gate and arrived at the mouth of the river.
Lin Fu arranged a single-yard mud house for Zhao Qinmin's family in the surrounding house at the mouth of the river, and asked Lin Jingzhong to deliver tables, chairs, cabinets, ladles, pots and stoves, bedding, clothes, oil, salt, rice and other items to Zhao Qinmin's family, so that Zhao Qinmin's family could temporarily live in the surrounding area.
In the house, Cao Ziang was asked to find a reliable person to help Zhao Qinmin and his family, and he also kept Zhao Qinmin and his family under surveillance.
Lin Fu introduced Lin Jingzhong and Cao Ziang to Zhao Qinmin, and left Zhao Qinmin and his family with Lin Jingzhong, while Cao Ziang left in a hurry.
At this time, Zhao Qinmin was no different from a bereaved dog. He was terrified. Knowing that his family arrived at the mouth of the river with Lin Fu under the escort of Yang Pu and Jiqi, the news could not be hidden from Wang Xueshan, and Wang Xueshan would never let him go lightly.
A family, with open and covert attacks, will come later.
After arriving at the mouth of the river, Zhao Qinmin took a blind look and only recognized Lin Jingzhong as the manager of Jiyun Society and Cao Ziang as the leader of the refugee camp. They recommended him to Moling County to serve as the head of the village. Lin Jingzhong and Cao Ziang only arranged for his family.
After entering the surrounding house, I arranged for a helper to introduce the two gatekeepers of the surrounding house to Zhao Qinmin and his family, and then left to do other things.
At this time, most of the residents in the surrounding house had gone to work. Some families closed their courtyard doors, while others left their courtyard doors open. It was deserted. There were twelve or thirteen children playing in the central square, and there were a few elderly people.
The old man was sitting on the edge basking in the sun. There were watchmen on the four corners of the surrounding house. From a distance, they seemed to be disabled people with limited legs and feet. The two gatekeepers of the surrounding house were actually strong men.
It was difficult for Zhao Qinmin to feel at ease with such a situation surrounding the house. Wang Xueshan sent three or five assassins, and it was difficult to save the lives of his family of five. After his family settled in the yard for a while, Zhao Qinmin hurried to the thatched cottage to find Lin Fu, hoping to
With better arrangements, even if his family is now imprisoned in Jiangdao Prison, it will be safer than living in a closed house at the mouth of the river.
After Lin Fu arrived at the mouth of the river, he learned that Xiao Xuanchou, the inspector of the imperial examination, had come yesterday to verify the escape from prison. After learning what happened in Jiangning City yesterday, he stayed on the prison island at night and did not leave.
The prison wardens in all the prefectures and counties refused to leave, and the secretary general Sun Geng and others could not drive him away. It was not until Lin Fu and Yang Pu arrived at the mouth of the river that Xiao Xuanchou left the prison island by boat and came to the thatched cottage at the mouth of the river.
Zhao Qinmin came to find Lin Fu, and Xiao Xuanchou was also in the thatched cottage.
Xiao Xuanchou had the highest official position and was nominally Lin Fu's immediate boss. He took the chief seat in the thatched cottage without hesitation. Xiao Xuanchou knew Zhao Qinmin and also knew that Zhao Qinmin's son was one of the four people arrested by the Procuratorate yesterday. He did not know other details.
, saw Zhao Qinmin hurriedly walking into the thatched cottage wearing a green shirt, he couldn't react for a moment and stood there, pointing at Zhao Qinmin, tongue tied, stumbling and asking: "Zhao... Zhao... why are you here?"
"What's the matter with Mr. Zhao?" Lin Fu, who was sitting next to him, asked calmly.
"..." Zhao Qinmin was really anxious and couldn't panic in front of Xiao Xuanchou. Besides, there were many factions within the Inspectorate, and Xiao Xuanchou was considered the number one on the hill. He might not have peed into the same pot as Gu Wuchen, and said, "Don't be busy.
Yes, you need to talk about it in advance, I'm worried..." He wanted to retreat.
"Mr. Zhao, please leave. Mr. Xiao is about to leave with Yang Dianwei. Come with me to see Mr. Xiao and Yang Dianwei off." Lin Fu called to Zhao Qinmin.
Xiao Xuanchou also understood at this time that Zhao Qinmin had taken refuge with Gu Wuchen. Gu Wuchen temporarily settled Zhao Qinmin at the mouth of the river. He was afraid of wading in the muddy water and wanted to leave quickly. At this time, the danger in Jiangning City should be completely transferred to the relationship between Wang Xueshan and Gu Wuchen.
It's time, it would be better to go back to Jiangning City than here.
Xiao Xuanchou thought about it, stood up and said: "Yes, yes, I have to rush back to the city to do some official business. Will Yang Dianwei come back to the city with me?"
Crow Wu Qi and others also withdrew from the city. Yang Pu had another source of information and knew that Jiangning Mansion had issued a wanted document against Zhao Qinmin and his family. He hesitated and asked Lin Fu: "I'm afraid Dongcheng Lieutenant's men will come...
"He wanted to stay and protect Lin Fu for a while.
"Dongcheng Lieutenant's troops can come at any time..." Lin Fu said, Yang Pu could not be stationed at the mouth of the river for a long time, and staying for a while would not be of much use. He looked at Xiao Xuanchou again and asked with a smile, "What does the guard guard do to the mouth of the river?"
Regarding the right to assist in defense, Jiangning Prefecture’s sea arrest document was not signed and signed by the Inspector General, can I disapprove it?”
Xiao Xuanchou thought that if Zhao Qinmin really defected to Gu Wuchen, Wang Xueshan would probably not allow him to live in the world. Lin Fu also understood what he said. The Dongcheng Lieutenant was going to bring the documents from Jiangning Mansion to arrest him, and Lin Fu would also use the document as a warrant to arrest him.
To fight against it on the grounds of attachment is to fight with a clear sword and a clear gun.
Xiao Xuanchou felt that if he stayed at the mouth of the river for a while, it would be more dangerous: if Dongcheng Lieutenant came and Lin Fu pushed him out to deal with it, would he decide whether to hand over Zhao Qinmin or not?
"It is said that it will be done according to the signature of the Inspector General, but there is no guarantee that the Jiangning Mansion will be too eager to do things and be careless. In short, everything must be harmonious, and harmony is the most important..." Xiao Xuanchou was talking, and he had already walked out.
.
Yang Pu thought that it was not the case for him to stay here, so he went back to the city with Xiao Xuanchou. Before leaving, Lin Fu asked Yang Pu to bring four guard soldiers into the city together. The man who promised to hand over to Gu Wuchen yesterday
, Gu Wuchen’s biggest shortcoming at this time is that there are too few people available.
Only then did Zhao Qinmin know that Wang Xueshan had openly framed him for many crimes and issued arrest documents in the name of Jiangning Mansion Yamen. The mean and unkind Wang Xueshan also framed Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui, who had not betrayed him, and imprisoned them. At this time, Zhao Qinmin
There is no longer any guilt for betraying Wang Xueshan, but the key at hand is how to keep the family together.
Although Lin Fu made it clear that if Jiangning Mansion sent troops to arrest his family, the prison island would openly resist him, but Zhao Qinmin did not have much confidence in Lin Fu. There were only so many people on the prison island, so what could he do with Wang Xueshan?
The people sent to fight? Not to mention that Wang Xueshan can directly mobilize the troops of the Four City Lieutenants of the Military and Horse Division. The thugs Wang Xueshan raised privately can overthrow the river mouth and the prison island. But Gu Wuchen has just arrived and has not yet formed any power base in Jiangning.
Apart from Prison Island and the mouth of Jinchuan River, Gu Wuchen had no other place to place Zhao Qinmin and his family. Of course, Gu Wuchen couldn't let Zhao Qinmin and his family out of his sight.
Let Yang Pu take four people, and there are only eight guard soldiers left around Lin Fu. Including Zhou Pu, there are only nine swordsmen on the river mouth. There are a few village warriors on the construction site organized to maintain order. Zhao Qinmin and
Lin Fu inquired and found out that although the prison island had the right to assist in the defense of the river mouth, there were only fifty guards on the prison island. Zhao Qinmin was worried and panicked, but had nowhere to go, so he came from Lin Fu.
Fu couldn't get any more comfort from his side, so he could only go back to the surrounding house first.
Before noon, Dr. Wu Yanqing from Xuanji Hall went out to the city to look at his son Zhao Jin's injured leg. He was afraid that the broken bone would be dislocated during the move, so he would have to remove the plaster and re-set the bone. Fortunately, he was taken care of properly and no accident occurred.
Zhao Qinmin's wife was making a fire in the new yard to cook, but Wu Yanqing came. Lin Fu prepared a banquet in the thatched cottage and invited Zhao Qinmin and Wu Yanqing to have a drink together. Zhao Shuhan, the director of the Jiangning Criminal Department, and Scott, the secretary of the Jiangning Ministry of Works
Yu and Ge Si Yu's father, Ge Fu, an old worker from the Ministry of Industry in Jiangning, were also there.
Ge Fu is a famous craftsman in Jiangning City, and Wu Yanqing is a famous doctor in Jiangning City. The two have never met, but they have heard each other's names. Ge Fu was very happy to hear that Wu Yanqing was going to be a doctor on Prison Island and said
He wanted to build another bamboo house on the prison island and make Wu Yanqing his neighbor. It would take three or two days for Wu Yanqing to put aside all the affairs of the county charity hall, so Ge Fu invited Wu Yanqing to visit the prison island first.
.
Zhao Qinmin was not in the mood to visit Prison Island, but everyone was going together and there was no need to postpone it. In addition to the construction of a pier on the west embankment that can accommodate large ships with a capacity of more than 1,000 stones, a small bamboo pier has been built on the inside of the river mouth. Zhao Qinmin and
When everyone was getting off the bamboo pier, they heard the ringing of a bell from the surrounding house. Since no bells had been heard all day, Zhao Qinmin could naturally tell that this was not telling time, but that the whistle bell on the corner of the surrounding house was ringing.
Lin Fu frowned and listened to the bell. When the bell stopped, he said: "I'm afraid the Dongcheng Lieutenant came to arrest Mr. Zhao's men. It's really a headache..." He cupped his hands towards Wu Yanqing and Ge Fu and said, "How about Mr. Wu?"
Should we go to the prison island with Mr. Ge first? Mr. Zhao and I must drive away Dongcheng Lieutenant's people before we can escape."
Zhao Qinmin felt anxious after hearing Lin Fu's words. Chen Zhi didn't dare to take anyone last night because he didn't dare to take the responsibility of fighting with the inspector in the street. At this time, Chen Zhi led the crowd over and was bound to get Wang Xueshan's order. The situation
Different from yesterday, it was just that he was the party involved and could not hide on the prison island with Ge Fu and Wu Yanqing. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ashore with Lin Fu.
