marquis of jingan

Chapter 408 Collapsing at the touch of a finger!
The development of the matter far exceeded Shen Yi's estimate!
Originally, he thought that even if the Wang family colluded with Japanese pirates, these Japanese pirates would attack from outside the city when Linhai County was closed, and there would not be much movement in the city, but unexpectedly, in After the sound of artillery came from the gate of the city, almost at the same time, the sound of gunpowder explosion was also heard from the outside of Wang's mansion!
In this era, firearms have already been used by the military on a large scale, and there are more or less cannons on the walls of every major city, but what Shen Yi didn't expect was that these Japanese pirates could also have cannons!

After the gunpowder exploded outside the Wang family mansion, there was a sudden commotion in the house. Fortunately, there were at least thirty or forty people from the yamen in the Wang family mansion, plus dozens of soldiers from Linhaiwei and ten relatives of the Prince Jin's mansion. Wei, the overall number is definitely superior. After Shen Yi locked all the members of the Wang family into each room, he began to direct his servants to meet the enemy.

At the same time as Shen Yi delivered the order, there were several loud bangs of gunpowder explosions coming from the Wang family's mansion. Several guards of the Prince Jin's mansion protected Shen Yi in the middle, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Sizheng, this place is too dangerous, you Go into the house and avoid it!"

Shen Yi shook his head without hesitation.

At this time, the more chaos there is, the more someone needs to command. After observing the situation, he said in a deep voice: "Give me my order, don't panic. The thieves use gunpowder like this, and they haven't shown up yet, which means that there are not many of them!"

"Guard every door, don't hesitate to kill the thief on the spot if you see the thief!"

Several guards protecting Shen Yi nodded upon hearing this, and one of them stepped out to deliver Shen Yi's order.

Shen Yi looked at the roof again, then pointed to the roof of the main house of the Wang family mansion, and said, "Go to the top, occupy a high place, and observe the movements of the thieves!"

After saying this, Shen Yi said again: "Beware of thieves' crossbows!"

The personal guards of Prince Jin's Mansion are all of very good individual quality. After hearing Shen Yi's order, one of the personal guards quickly climbed up the courtyard wall and then climbed onto the roof of the Wang family's mansion.

After he climbed up to occupy the commanding heights, he quickly discovered the movement of the two enemies, and immediately shouted loudly. Several personal guards and several soldiers of the Linhai Guard rushed up together. The two thieves didn't even resist. He resisted and was hacked to death with random knives.

As soon as these two people died, the Wang family's mansion immediately became quiet.

At this time, the sound of artillery came again from the direction of the east gate of Linhai County.

This time, it was the rhythmic sound of artillery.

Hearing the sound of artillery, Shen Yi calmed down a little, because it could be heard that this should be a rhythmic artillery counterattack organized by the army.

After killing the two thieves, the officials in the Wang family's mansion also began to search the entire mansion. Soon, someone came to report to Shen Yi: "Master Shen, the humble officials followed the traces left by the thieves, Under the rockery in the back residence of the Wang family, a secret passage was discovered, and the thief should have come out of the secret passage!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Use smoke, smoke this tunnel back and forth, make sure there is no one inside."

"Search the Wang family's mansion again, search it carefully, and pay more attention to organs such as tunnels and secret passages!"

After arranging these things, Shen Yi opened the door and walked into the main hall of the Wang family. At this time, in the main hall, Mr. Wang Chengwang, who was dressed in brocade clothes, was tightly bound by ropes. Shen Yi walked up to the richest man in Taizhou with his hands behind his back. There was a sneer on his face: "This time, Master Wang has nothing to say?"

Wang Chengwang was tightly tied up. He looked up at Shen Yi, with anger and reluctance in his eyes: "You...why do you think my Wang family is a coward?"

"There is no evidence."

Shen Yi glanced at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "If there is evidence, I will take you to jail directly. How can I stay at your house for two days?"

Wang Chengwang trembled all over.

"Without evidence, you dare to treat us like this, Da Chen has no law!"

"You are also ashamed to mention the king's law to the master!"

Shen Yi stepped forward, grabbed the little old man's hair, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Wang family is suspected of raising Japanese pirates. If it wasn't for Emperor Sejong's kindness to abolish capital punishment, otherwise you, Wang Chengwang, would not be able to escape Ling Chi's end no matter what!"

Wang Chengwang cried out in pain, and shouted: "Who feeds the Japanese pirates, who feeds the Japanese pirates!"

"My royal family has been looted by Japanese pirates for ten years. How can I raise Japanese pirates?"

Shen Sizheng continued to sneer: "Master Wang, please tell me why the Japanese pirates are so bold as to attack the city after your royal family was besieged for a day or two? There are even thieves who broke into the royal residence at night, wanting to attack the government!"

"The Japanese pirates attacking the city, what does it have to do with our Wang family!"

Wang Chengwang spit out his spit, and said angrily: "As for the thieves who broke into my house at night, my family is the richest man in Taizhou Prefecture, and there are countless thieves who want to enter my house every year to steal property. It's normal for a few thieves to come in at night. How did you become a hookup with Japanese pirates!"

"Besides, the thieves who broke into my house at night may not be Japanese pirates!"

He looked at Shen Yi with a dignified righteousness: "If Mr. Shen doesn't produce real evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Shen Yi sneered at him, too lazy to talk to him, he locked Wang Chengwang in this room alone, and then walked out by himself.

After learning that there were no traces of any thieves in the Wang's mansion, Shen Yi directly led people out of the Wang's mansion and headed straight for the east gate of Linhai.

At this moment, near the East City Gate, there was already a strong smell of blood.

Shen Yi boarded the tower and glanced down from the tower. He saw hundreds of corpses laying in disorder at the gate of the east gate, and the battle was over as a whole. Underneath was a group of soldiers in sea guard uniforms, cleaning the battlefield.

Shen Yi looked around on the tower, and finally saw Li Mu's figure in the distance. He strode over, and only when he got closer did he see a big man in black, kneeling on Li Mu's shoulders. In front of Mu, he lowered his head and said something.

Because it was still early morning and there was no skylight, Shen Yi couldn't see the man's face clearly with the faint light of the torch.

When he got closer, he heard what Li Mu was saying.

The prince of Jin, with an angry face, pointed to the big man's nose and cursed: "Shit Lin Haiwei, it's a good thing you are still an officer!"

"You Linhai Guards have 1000 people!"

Li Mu scolded angrily: "1000 people pre-arranged in advance, deliberately attacking unintentionally, after contacting less than [-] Japanese pirates, they almost collapsed at the first touch!"

"I saw with my own eyes that at least half of the Linhai Guards were scrambling to run back, not daring to confront the pirates head-on!"

"If it wasn't for the artillery, if it wasn't for the bows and arrows, would you nearly kill more than 100 pirates?!"

Ling Su, a thousand household of Linhaiwei, knelt in front of Li Mu, bowed his head deeply and said, "I am incompetent in a lowly position, please punish me with imperial envoys!"

"Punishment?"

Li Mu sneered and said, "I don't have the right to punish your local army? Only this time, I have really seen it!"

He yelled at Ling Qianhu.

"If it wasn't for the Japanese pirates not having siege equipment, I'm afraid Linhai City would have fallen tonight!"
