Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 645

Lu Xiangsheng's judgment was indeed correct.

Tian Xiong and Qiu Yue, who were the first to escape from the official post, ran towards their home along the streets and alleys, relying on their familiarity and understanding of the terrain in Nanjing.

At this time, apart from the idea of ​​saving their lives, they had no time to think about what would happen to Xie Qiguang.

Tian Xiong already had a plan in his mind: flee home and immediately pack up the valuables, then take the youngest son with him and go straight to the Qinhuai River, hire a boat and escape from Nanjing.

For the rest of my life, I can only live incognito. As for where to settle, it will depend on the situation at that time.

Tian Xiong didn't tell Qiu Yue what was on his mind.

Although the two are usually as close as brothers, it is better to escape for their lives.

The fewer people walking the Qinhuai River, the greater the chance of surviving. If there are too many people walking together, if people are alarmed at midnight, it may cause unexpected disasters.

After Duan Yili learned that Xie Qiguang was one of the main emissaries behind the scenes, he immediately bid farewell to Lu Xiangsheng and left, planning to immediately arrange for people to go to Xie's mansion to get him.

Feng Youming hesitated for a moment, then he accused the two superiors and chased them out. After taking advantage of him, he hinted to the other party that many people in the government office would hinder the implementation of the new policy, and said that these people usually work together with Xie Qiguang The gang is very close, and it is very likely that they are the accomplices in the assassination of the imperial envoy. I hope that Duan Qianhu will enforce the law impartially. As the prefect of Nanjing, he will never protect his subordinates and so on.

How could Duan Li fail to understand the meaning of Feng Youming's words?This is just to use his knife to cut off other people's heads.

"These literati are so f*ckingly weak!
For things that I can't handle, I have to find a high-sounding reason to use Lao Tzu as a weapon!
This old boy saw that Lao Tzu had suffered a lot this time, and he must act without any scruples this time, so he put these messy things in Lao Tzu's basket!
I bother!

Forget it, since it is to make up for the past, then this time it will be more involved, and the palace and Wei Zhonggao will be able to take a look at the performance of the merits, and send a favor to go out! "

Duan Yong nodded while thinking, and assured his chest that he would not let these black apples go, this time he would catch all suspicious people and return Nanjing to a bright future.

It's just that the school captains who handled the case worked hard, eating and sleeping in the open. Do you think your Nanjing government government can provide some allowances to make up for it?
Although Feng Youming has a pragmatic style, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is not a fool. After hearing Duan Yongyong's statement, he immediately said that the Nanjing government will provide corresponding rewards to condolences to the top and bottom of the pro-military, so that the pro-military lieutenants will not make their efforts in vain.

As deadly rivals, the Wenchen Group and the factory guards unexpectedly had a rare cooperation and tacit understanding at this moment. This kind of scene has not been seen for a long time.

Duan quickly walked through the blood-stained front yard of the official post, took a few guards out of the gate, greeted a Baihu and gave a few instructions, and the Baihu immediately gathered his subordinate captains and went straight to Xie Qiguang with a torch Go to the mansion.

Around Yinshi in the early morning, the sky was already slightly lit up, and officers and soldiers with various weapons could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, but most of the citizens who were still sleeping did not know about it.

In order to show that he was ignorant of everything, Xie Qiguang ordered the gate of the house to be closed yesterday when it was still dark, and ordered that all people in the mansion were not allowed to go out, and then went to bed at Youshi, but due to concerns about gain and loss, It wasn't until Haishi that he fell asleep in a daze, and woke up when it was still dark.

Xie's mansion is seven or eight miles away from the official post, and the sound of gunfire last night did not reach here. Xie Qiguang, who was a little haggard due to lack of sleep, sat up in his clothes.

The maid who slept in the outer room with her clothes on was very spiritual. When she heard the movement in the room, she turned over and got out of bed. After lighting the candle, she went to the door and asked softly. The door came in, and then began to serve the master to relieve himself behind the screen. After finishing the work, he lifted the wooden toilet outside the door, and went back to the inside to serve Xie Qiguang to put on his boots and change clothes. At this time, Xie Qiguang's old wife was still sleeping soundly.

"I'm still too cautious!
I should tell Tian Xiong and the others to send someone to report to the mansion as soon as possible after the matter is completed, so as not to worry about it all the time!

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's head should be chopped off, right?

Maybe Zhao Zhiyong and Feng Youming were already dead on the spot?
After Tianming gets the letter, he will preside over the overall situation in Nanjing under the recommendation of all the officials and gentry!
The first thing to do is to urgently report the horrific incident to Beijing in Liubaili. By the way, while requesting a thorough investigation of the case, he will explain clearly the cause of the tragedy, and jointly appeal to request the immediate abolition of the New Deal, so as not to Such tragedies will happen again in the future.

Since the nobles in Nanjing are pretending to be deaf and dumb, they will never get any benefits from Jiangnan in the future!
If you want to go to the court, you will say that some nobles have accumulated soldiers and caused disasters to the place, and asked the court to abolish their generals and become tigers without claws. In the future, they will not be left to the local government! "

Thinking of this, Xie Qiguang nodded secretly, admiring his foresight.

There seemed to be footsteps coming, and it sounded like there was more than one person.

Before Xie Qiguang woke up, the sound of footsteps paused for a moment, and then they came towards his room with lights on. Then, the closed door outside was kicked open, and a gust of cold wind instantly swept him away. All the heating in the house was taken away, and at the same time, Xie Qiguang's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.

"Xie Qiguang?!"

With the candles lit in the house, a young Baihu wearing a blue hood looked directly at Xie Qiguang with disdain and asked.

"Wait... are you waiting for... what... people!?"

Xie Qiguang barely kept his body from collapsing, and replied tremblingly amidst the screams of his old wife who was awakened.

"Take it! Take it to the front for interrogation!"

The Baihu gave an order, and the two captains rushed forward to tie up Xie Qiguang.

It didn't take much time, and before Jin Yiwei had used the usual methods a few times, Xie Qiguang, who could not be punished, confessed Wang Duo and others. Soon, the list of the main behind-the-scenes was passed to Lu Xiangsheng. Gradually, with the cooperation of the officers and soldiers, Jin Yiwei began to take people from mansions one by one.

After daybreak, Wang Duo, Xu Wenyuan, Tang Shiji, Pan Shiliang and other conspirators were all captured and brought to justice, and the school captains began to search their property.

At Maoshi, after all the yamen's officers in each yamen were on duty, nearly [-] officers and soldiers, with the cooperation of the yamen's officers, searched the entire city and conducted a carpet search for the thieves who had fled last night. After a day's search, most of the culprits were found After being captured, only a few people including Tian Xiong escaped.

The joint playbook of Lu Xiangsheng, Zhao Zhiyong, and Feng Youming was also sent to the capital in an expedited six hundred miles. Nanjing will soon face a bloody storm unseen in a century.
