Chapter 413 The King of Jin sent a message [2 more]
Looking at Chen Kan lightly, Miao Yuan thought that he had helped the Chen family's lifeline, and he had no worries about Chen Kan. He smiled slightly and said: "Yes, such a cute baby, don't get cold. You
Let’s go!”
Chen Kan turned around and walked out of the cellar. After some comfort, the women and children of the Chen family said they were still worried about the safety of the stone, but when they saw Chen Kan saying that Chen Zhong was taking care of the stone at the moment, they felt a little relieved.
After a short while, Chen Kan sent a few pieces of clothes over and then left the cellar.
There was a large-scale search for the Miao family and members of the Lu family in the city. It can be said that under such a vigorous search, some people were still caught even though they were well hidden.
After all, what the Lu family, Miao family and others did in Taiyuan City were so unpopular that countless people whose families were ruined by them wanted to crush them into ashes.
The relatives of these wealthy families who were wiped out by the Lu family and the Miao family united, and their strength was not weak at all. In addition, the imperial court offered a reward for the whereabouts of their family members, whether it was for revenge or for
In order to win the favor of the general manager, almost everyone in the huge Taiyuan City took action spontaneously to search for traces of the Lu family and the Miao family.
In just two days, members of the Miao and Lu families were reported one by one or searched out by personnel sent by the imperial court.
By almost the third day, only two family heads, Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng, had not been arrested, and the heads of other families were also arrested.
On this day, at the gate of the yamen, a woman walked up to the yamen in a panic and said to the yamen guard: "Master, a common woman... A common woman came to report the whereabouts of Miao Yuan, the head of the Miao family."
The gatekeeper couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. He looked at the woman and said, "Do you really know the whereabouts of Miao Yuan?"
The woman looked nervous, nodded and said: "People's women know!"
The Yamen servant was overjoyed and said, "You come with me!"
Who doesn't know that Chu Yi offered a reward for the capture of the Miao family, the Lu family and others, especially Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng who had the highest reward.
Anyone who reports the whereabouts of the two and successfully captures them will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!
As for the other family heads and direct descendants of their families, each of them also has a certain amount of silver reward.
In the past few days, tens of thousands of silver rewards have been distributed alone. It is precisely because of this that the people in Taiyuan City have increased trust in the credibility of the government. The direct result is that except for Lu Zheng, Miao
Except for a few people, everyone else was arrested.
Now there was news about Miao Yuan. As long as he could successfully capture Miao Yuan, the government officials would be rewarded, so he was very excited and took the woman into the government office.
There were many matters in the city, big and small, and it was impossible for Chu Yi to transfer officials from the imperial court for a while, so he could only select a few officials with good official reputations from the original officials in the city to barely support the situation in Taiyuan City.
Zhang Yu, the prefect who acted for Taiyuan Prefecture, was just a minor official. This minor official did not succumb to the Tatars. After the Tatars entered the city, he hid himself, but he was still older than those who surrendered to the Tatars.
Most officials are much stronger.
In addition, this small official's official reputation and ability are not bad on weekdays. From a small official, Chu Yi appointed him as the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture.
Zhang Yu is dealing with many things in the city at the moment. After all, after the Tatars' disaster, there are many large and small affairs in Taiyuan City. Chu Yi, except for arranging a few officials, does not care about the big and small things in Taiyuan City. It is completely
It was handed over to Zhang Yu and others for disposal.
"Master, master, there is news about Miao Yuan, there is news about Miao Yuan!"
Zhang Yu, who was sitting there handling government affairs, couldn't help but stand up suddenly when he heard this. If anyone wanted to say who the most hated person in Taiyuan City was, it must be Miao Yuan.
It was led by Miao Yuan that several big families in the city colluded with the Tatars, opened the city gates privately, and welcomed the Tatars into the city. This led to the Tatars wreaking havoc in the city, and an unknown number of people were killed by the Tatars.
Especially the garrison stationed in Taiyuan City. There were tens of thousands of garrison troops. Almost three to four thousand of them were from Taiyuan. Those soldiers could be said to be related to many people in Taiyuan City. As a result, there were tens of thousands of soldiers.
They were all slaughtered by the Tatars.
While everyone hated the Tatars, they also blamed the Miao family and several other families for the sins committed by the Tatars.
In addition, the Miao family and others once helped the Tatars and directly harmed too many people. One can imagine how much everyone hates the Miao family.
However, there has been no news about Miao Yuan and Lu Zheng for several days. If these two people cannot be found, it will be a pity after all.
Zhang Yu, who suddenly stood up, looked at the government official and said, "Where is Miao Yuan? I will definitely reward him for the clues he provides!"
If Miao Yuan can be captured, then his acting prefect will naturally leave a deep impression on the general manager Chu Yi. Whether he can sit down as the prefect, the attitude of the general manager Chu Yi is the most important.
Pivotal.
Soon the woman was brought in, and she knelt down on the ground and said to Zhang Yu: "Master Qingtian, please save the woman and her family!"
Zhang Yu stepped forward and said with help: "Madam, get up quickly. Do you really know the whereabouts of Miao Yuan?"
This woman was Chen Kan's wife. She took the opportunity to go out to buy rice and noodles and went directly to the government to report Miao Yuan according to Chen Kan's instructions. At this moment, she listened to Zhang Yu's inquiry and hurriedly followed Chen Kan's instructions to report the matter.
The story was told again.
Even the fact that the Chen family was a servant of the Miao family was revealed. After all, this matter could not be hidden at all. Rather than being found out later, it was better to tell it first.
After hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but look full of surprise. As long as he could catch Miao Yuan, as for the relationship between the Chen family and the Miao family, to be honest, Zhang Yu really didn't care.
If the Chen family is loyal to the Miao family, then Zhang Yu might take the opportunity to arrest the Chen family in order to avoid future troubles. However, the Chen family is obviously unwilling to board the Miao family's sinking ship, and even took the initiative to report it.
He killed Miao Yuan, so Zhang Yu did not intend to do anything to the Chen family, but would reward the Chen family heavily.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu immediately said: "Immediately send someone to ask General Sun to come, saying that I have something important to discuss with you."
Needless to say, the General Sun mentioned by Zhang Yu was Sun Qiu. Because of his background, Sun Qiu naturally had the same stance as Zhang Yu.
So Zhang Yu instinctively thought of Sun Qiu instead of Xu Tianzuo, who came from a noble family.
Not long after, Sun Qiu entered the yamen. When he saw Zhang Yu, Sun Qiu did not take advantage of his status to be rude. Instead, he cupped his hands at Zhang Yu and said, "The prefect called Sun to come. Could it be that there is someone here?"
Have you found out the whereabouts of the traitor Miao Yuan?"
Sun Qiu was just joking with Zhang Yu, but he never thought that Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said: "It turns out that General Sun is so well-informed!"
Sun Qiu couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zhang Yu in astonishment, and said in surprise: "What, is there really any news about Miao Yuan?"
Zhang Yu pointed at the woman and said: "Miao Yuan is hiding in the cellar of your home, but his father-in-law and son are in Miao Yuan's hands, so I invite the general to come here, hoping that the general can find a way to capture Miao Yuan.
And keep his family as safe as possible!"
With a sparkle in his eyes, Sun Qiu laughed loudly and said: "That's what it should be. I will personally go out and do my best to ensure the safety of the hostages."
Soon a group of people appeared outside the courtyard of the Chen family. With a creak, Sun Qiu entered the courtyard with more than a dozen elite men. Outside the courtyard, more than a hundred elite soldiers had already surrounded the courtyard.
Surrounded by everyone.
Chen Kan, who had always felt uneasy, seemed very uneasy after arranging for his wife to go to the government to report.
Fortunately, Miao Yuan and others thought they had grasped the lifeline of the Chen family, but they never thought that he would backfire and irritate Chen Zhong and his son.
When Chen Zhong pushed Chen Kan away, he pinched Chen Kan, hinting that Chen Kan would find a way to report Miao Yuan.
However, Chen Zhong deliberately stayed with Miao Yuan and others, which made Miao Yuan and others feel more at ease.
Miao Yuan might never have imagined that Chen Kan would choose to betray his whereabouts even when his father and son fell into his hands.
If Miao Yuan did not touch Chen Zhong's grandson, even if the Chen family wanted to report it, they might not be so quick. However, Miao Yuan arrested Chen Zhong's grandson, which irritated the Chen family and his son.
When Chen Kan saw Sun Qiu coming with his wife, he was startled at first, and then hurriedly came up to him and said, "Chen Kan, a common man, pays homage to the General, and asks the General to save my father and my son!"
Sun Qiu stepped forward and helped Chen Kan up and said, "Don't worry, you can tell me the specific situation and I will find a way to ensure the safety of your father and your son as much as possible."
Chen Kan quickly told Sun Qiu the situation in the cellar.
Sun Qiu learned about the situation in the cellar. In addition to Miao Yuan, there were four of Miao Yuan's confidants, including a housekeeper and three brave and loyal servants.
Backyard cellar.
Chen Kan slowly walked into the cellar with his lunch box and saw his father holding his son, while Miao Yuan and others were sitting there.
When you open the lunch box, the fragrance of the food hits your nostrils, which can't help but increase your appetite.
Miao Yuan glanced at the food, and Chen Zhong consciously carried his grandson forward to serve the food, and then ate it with big mouthfuls, not forgetting to feed the grandson in his arms.
After drinking tea, Miao Yuan and others came forward and started eating.
During the meal, it can be said that Miao Yuan and the others were at their weakest alert. Chen Kan pulled him from the waist, and then swung it violently, and immediately a piece of lime spread out.
Chen Kan suddenly threw his father and children to the ground. At this moment, with a loud shout, Sun Qiu jumped into the cellar neatly dressed, raised his hand and fired a crossbow, and threw a roaring man on the spot.
Shooting the servants of the Chen family and his son.
At the same time, he swept the spear in his hand, sending the two servants flying away and falling heavily to the ground.
When Miao Yuan came to his senses, Sun Qiu was already approaching, picked it up and threw it away, and then threw it out of the cellar.
Unfortunately, at the entrance of the cellar, several soldiers stepped forward and tied up Miao Yuan.
It only took a dozen breaths, and the lime in the cellar had not yet dissipated. Everyone, including Miao Yuan, was captured.
"Wow wow..."
The child just started crying loudly now.
Miao Yuan was arrested, and as soon as the news spread, the whole Taiyuan City was shocked.
When the prison car in which Miao Yuan was imprisoned passed by on the long street, many people who came after hearing the news looked at Miao Yuan in the prison car, and one by one they wanted to pounce on Miao Yuan and tear Miao Yuan into pieces.
However, there were soldiers guarding both sides of the prison van, so the civilians could not get close to the prison van. However, this did not prevent the surrounding civilians from throwing rocks and other objects at Miao Yuan.
After passing the long street, Miao Yuan was beaten to death. Fortunately, no one hit Miao Yuan with big rocks. Of course, Sun Qiu and others couldn't let Miao Yuan be beaten to death by the common people.
In a mansion, Chu Yi had moved out of the magistrate's office not long ago, and now he was looking at an eunuch in front of him who was full of makeup.
This chamberlain did not come from the capital. If the other party really came from the capital, he would probably not be so arrogant and dare to be so arrogant in front of Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at the chamberlain Dong Yizhi calmly and said: "Servant Dong, where is your prince now? I wonder if the King of Jin sent you here. Is there anything wrong?"
Dong Yizhi was sent by the King of Jin.
The Ming Dynasty has always had the tradition of assigning places to princes by imperial edict. There are only so many one-character kings in the Ming Dynasty clan. Almost all of them are passed down from generation to generation by the sons of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition to the one-character kings, there are also two-character county kings and the like.
For example, Ning Wang is the Ning Wang lineage, which can be traced back to the first Ning Wang Zhu Quan who was conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang. The Jin Wang Yi is inherited from the first Jin Wang, Zhu Yuanzhang's third son Jin Wang Zhu Fan (gang).
The King of Jin was one of the nine great fortress kings of the Ming Dynasty. For example, King Zhu Di of Yan established the vassal state of Beiping, King Zhu Gui of Dai established the vassal state of Datong, Shanxi Province, and King Zhu Fan of Jin established the vassal state of Taiyuan.
The king of the Jin Dynasty of this generation is Zhu Zhiyang. When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang decreed the title of Nine Great Fortress Kings, he originally expected these royal family members to guard the border fortresses. Unfortunately, now, the Ming Dynasty vassal kings are not guarding the border fortresses for the imperial court.
If you can avoid harming the place, you can already be called a virtuous king.
When Taiyuan City was destroyed, Zhu Zhiyang was so frightened that he fled Taiyuan City immediately. As for guarding the city for the imperial court, he didn't even think about it.
Zhu Zhiyang escaped from Taiyuan City and hid carefully. At the same time, he sent people to inquire about the news.
For nearly a month, Zhu Zhiyang's life has been miserable. He has been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. Suddenly, even eating is a problem. Zhu Zhiyang is a prince, so it is strange that he can bear it.
, but he did not dare to return to the capital. The local vassal king could not enter the capital without being summoned. What's more, he had lost the important town of Taiyuan. If he really entered the capital, his title of King of Jin might be taken off him.
