Jingming

Chapter 223
The order Chen Yin received was to guard the Yang family, so that Yang Tinghe would not worry about harming his family because of the implementation of the new law.

Since Yang Shen turned Yang Tinghe into the leader of the new party in Guangzhou, Yang Tinghe has been very important to Zhu Houcong.

Yang Tinghe also knew what kind of turmoil his family was in, so he told his younger brother to guard the house, keep a low profile and not cause any trouble.

But now it's trouble breaking through the door.

With a roar from Chen Yin's side, he used his back to block the knife that was slashed at him when he took a wrong step. When he was naturally stiff due to the pain, he suddenly pressed his arms and knees to his crotch , broke free in the blink of an eye.

Then, regardless of Puzhi County, who was limp on the ground, he shouted directly at the Zhuang Ban in Xindu County: "Boss Xin, if you want to make meritorious service, take your brothers and me to catch the traitor!"

Patriarch Xu has already fallen to the ground. Although he is still alive, he has no energy left to do anything.

But Puzhi County saw the blood in his arms dripping onto the scattered imperial decree, which was clearly just a decree from the Zhengde period...

Chen Yin had already hacked and killed the two dead soldiers who stayed here to take the opportunity to injure or even kill him, and strode towards the backyard.

Xin Bantou, the yamen servant of Zhuangban in Xindu County, was overjoyed when he saw this extremely brave Jinyiwei hundred households calling out his surname.

With him taking the lead in the charge and Xin Ban following behind, he is brave enough to dare.

"Brothers, the great achievements are just around the corner, protect Yang Ge's old family!"

This group of "crowds" swarmed away, passing by Patriarch Xu who was still breathing on the ground, they each took iron rulers or sticks to make up for it once or twice.

Someone also rushed to Puzhi County to "concern" him: "My lord, are you not surprised?"

The credit is very slim and life-threatening, why not curry favor with the magistrate of the county.

"Hurry up and help Chen Baihu! If someone in the Yang family dies, it will be a big deal!" Although Puzhi County has no face, but now his mind has cleared up a lot, and he stretched out his feet to beat the yamen servant who came to help him .

After leaning on the wall and standing up unsteadily, he lifted his official uniform to cover his crotch, and naturally exposed his feet wearing official boots.

"Heavenly traitor!" At this moment, he dared to step on the face of the dying Xu Patriarch, and then walked towards the backyard with small steps in fear.

On the other side of the backyard, after Chen Yin's slight obstruction, Yang Tingzhong had already taken the Yang family into the main room of the backyard.

Naturally, the door was tightly closed, and several people were banging on it forcefully, and some people took out fire pockets.They even brought small water sacs filled with oil and spilled them on the windows, and now the flames have started.

Seeing this, Chen Yin felt a little relieved.

With such a response, it seems that Yang Tingzhong did not panic and lose his mind, and he still followed his instructions to the Yang family.

In the backyard, the doors of all the wing rooms and other places are tightly closed, and there is not a single servant of the Yang family in the courtyard.

Chen Yinxian rushed to a side room and hacked down two dead men there, and when he rushed to the door of the main room, he shouted to the Xindu county government servant who had already entered the backyard: "Pick up the knife, surround them, don't let the thieves die The wall is gone!"

Although the knife is not in his hand, Chen Yin already knows how important these people are.

There are still more than a dozen people left. For Chen Yin, it will not take much time.Capture and kill people first, and then burn the main house, as long as people are fine.

……

Guo Zan, who had just led [-] riders to Xindu County, ignored the panic of the people in Xindu County. Looking at the thick smoke in the distance, he asked the guard who was temporarily recruited by him at the gate of the city to guide the way: "Is that where the Yang family is?" where?"

"...Yes, that's right!" The guard was shivering as he was held on the horse by one of Guo Zan's personal soldiers, and he tightly grasped the front of the saddle.

"Hurry up! Drive!"

Guo Zan's eyes were bright, and he couldn't care less about galloping around the city.

Get there, great job!
There were not many horses in all the guards in Chengdu. It was Xue Lun who first sent messengers to the guards and asked them to transfer all the cavalry to the north of the city.After Guo Zan led the hundred cavalry from the left guard of Chengdu to the north of the city, the cavalry of all the guards in Chengdu listened to him, and then Guo Zan came to chase Gao Kewei and protect the Yang family.

Now that the Yang family was indeed on fire, Guo Zan clamped his feet on the horse's belly and ran straight to the direction of the fire.

Only then did he loudly ask the guard: "How many people did Gao Kewei bring with him?"

"what?"

"It's Gao Niantai!" Guo Zan thought he didn't know the full name of the inspector.

The officer jolted on the horse and replied: "Your Excellency in Taiwan... you didn't come..."

"Not here?" Guo Zan tightened his reins, "He didn't come?"

Xue Lun realized that Gao Kewei was the time for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, and Guo Zan had already received the military order to grab time.

Now that he suddenly knew from the gatekeepers in Xindu County that Gao Kewei had never come to Xindu County at all, Guo Zan's blood pressure was a little high for a while.

"...It was brought here by a prison officer from the yamen."

"……Oh shit!"

Guo Zan didn't care so much anymore, so it was the same to arrest Gao Kewei's subordinates first.

It's not a matter of coming, where is Gao Kewei, I'm afraid I still have to ask them.

When he arrived at the gate of Yang's mansion, what he saw was that the Xindu county government servant was busy carrying water from the river in front of Yang's house with a bucket.

When the yamen servants saw this large group of cavalry coming aggressively, they panicked for a while, and several people staggered and splashed water in the bucket.

"Where's the rebel?" Guo Zan saw the situation and knew he was trying to put out a fire.

"... Who is this general?" Bantou Xin, who was commanding at the door, boldly stepped forward and asked.

"Master Xin, this is...Cheng Amber...General Guo."

Ban Xin was taken aback, wishing he could jump up and slap the guard.

In front of the count, do you call your uncle Xin Ye?
"It turned out to be Uncle Guo... Tell me, the rebels have already been executed."

Guo Zan's eyes widened: "Kill them all? You?"

Credit was stolen?
After finishing speaking, he reined in his horse, turned over and asked eagerly, "No one alive? Gao Kewei has never been here before?"

"...Uncle Guo, the incident happened suddenly, and Chen Baihu did not survive."

"Chen Baihu?"

Guo Zan asked suspiciously. At this time, Chen Yin and Pu Zhixian, who heard the noise outside, had rushed to the gate of the courtyard together.

Guo Zan's pupils shrank when the flying fish suit came into view.

When Chen Yin saw him, he bowed: "So it's Cheng Anbo. What happened to the Chengdu mansion?"

"...Go in and talk." Guo Zan's face was ashen, and he ordered the cavalry who followed, "Stand by, don't move rashly!"

He looked at Chen Yin after entering the courtyard gate: "Do you know me?"

"Before the humble job, I was working next to Commander Luo. Before my uncle came to the noble, I met my uncle." Chen Yin had already seen that he was here to save people, so he hurriedly explained the situation, "The humble job was ordered by the emperor to guard Yang Yang secretly. Today, 24 rebels armed with false edicts, tokens, and official documents broke into Yang’s mansion in the name of the yamen, and they will kill people without question.”

"There are false imperial edicts? Where are they?"

Guo Zan ran this trip, but he didn't save anyone, and he didn't die.

He looked at Chen Yin.There are 24 people, all killed by him?But this Jinyiwei Baihu is clean now.

The three of them went all the way to the main hall in the front yard, and now Yang Tingzhong also came out terrified.

In the front yard in front of the main hall, 24 corpses were placed there.

Looking at the situation, Guo Zan couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you leave him alive?"

There was some dissatisfaction and complaints in his tone.

"Uncle, if the lowly position is kept, the Yang family will not only die or injure three servants."

Guo Zan was very depressed: "Since His Majesty intends to send people to guard the Yang family, why..."

He spoke halfway before holding back the second half of the sentence.

Wouldn't that be blaming the emperor?What's more, he quickly figured it out: If His Majesty sent many people to stay in Yang's house, would it be protection or custody?
There is one person, just in case.

In most cases, the dignified Jinyiwei Baihu only needs to use Liangliang's flying fish suit.

This Chen Yin was capable enough to kill so many desperate thieves by himself.

Only then did Chen Yin show Guo Zan a look at the fake imperial edicts, tokens and official documents that were still stained with blood.

Guo Zan saw that Fei Hong and the seals of the third division were on the official document, and his face turned livid: If these thieves really let the Yang family take away and the Yang family's ancestral grave was shoveled, the matter would be publicized.

"Your Majesty is the county magistrate of Xindu County?" Guo Zan continued without waiting for his answer, "Please also tell the people of Xindu not to listen to the lies of thieves. These people are fake officials who have the audacity to forge imperial edicts to the Yang family, It's just for revenge."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "This matter is extremely urgent, please arrange manpower as soon as possible, and don't let rumors spread in Sichuan!"

"...Yes, yes, I will arrange it right now, the officer."

Puzhi County understands some things, so it's better not to listen to them here.

He slipped away quickly, at this time Guo Zan asked Chen Yin to go aside and asked in a low voice: "Chen Baihu, you Jinyiwei don't know where Gao Kewei has gone? The military order I received is that Gao Kewei is coming to Xindu to shovel the grave of Yang's family ancestors." , but others are not here!"

"...Shoveling the graves of the ancestors?"

Chen Yin is numb, so how much hatred will he have?
Then he shook his head: "Only one of Jin Yiwei's brothers in Sichuan knows about the humble position in the Yang family."

"This..." Guo Zan made a trip in vain, his eyes fixed on the several criminal evidences.

"According to the fact that the inspector dared to act like this, the humble officer can't leave his post without permission. Uncle, please forgive the impoliteness. The uncle led the troops to rescue the Yang family, but the humble officer wants to ask, who can be trusted in Sichuan now?"

Guo Zan turned his gaze back to look at him, only to see that Chen Yin had no respect for his humble position, but a trace of vigilance.

"Of course Marquis Xue is trustworthy!" Guo Zan frowned involuntarily and turned around, "We learned that Gao Kewei wanted to seek rebellion because Yang Junlin, the feudal lord, was afraid of colluding with him and so he reported it. In the current situation, it is only a matter of credit for stabilizing Sichuan. Although the decree has not yet come, Jin Yiwei, Xue Hou, and Earl Ben must not be suspicious of each other!"

Chen Yin looked at him, and then nodded: "The humble official will report the truth. In that case, please leave a hundred people to help me guard the Yang family, and return to Xue Hou with the evidence of the crime as soon as possible. Now that I know that I am the procurator The chief envoy is also suspected of being an accomplice, and many remote guards in Sichuan may need appeasement!"

Guo Zan looked deeply at Chen Yin.

Guo Zan thought for a while before he understood the meaning of the words.

Many remote guardhouses in Sichuan are subject to the restraint of food and payment transportation by the chief envoy, and the restraint of military preparation by the inspector.Now that he had only said one sentence, he figured out that Chief Minister Yang Junlin should also be deeply involved with Gao Kewei, otherwise, how dare Gao Kewei conspire with Yang Junlin in such a big matter?
In this way, who knows which remote guards they have established an inseparable relationship with before?

This Chen Yin is not only brave, but also very smart.

At this time, Chen Yin's face changed again: "No! Since Gao Kewei said he was going to Xindu, but there are only these 20 dead men in front of him, I am afraid that he has escaped from the mountain. Xue Hou must have confirmed that he left Fucheng and headed north Come, if you want to escape..."

Guo Zan looked at him nervously, this kind of reasoning was unexpected to Guo Zan.

Chen Yin thought for a moment and then said to Guo Zan: "Uncle, since you have arrived in Xindu, no matter whether he is fleeing to the north due to his suspicion or not, you are the fastest to come, and you are all cavalry under your command. The confidant returns to Fucheng to return to his command, so why don't uncle take his subordinates to the direction of Songpanwei as soon as possible!"

"Songpanwei? Why?" Guo Zan felt that this was no different from a blind man feeling an elephant. How could he find so many places in the northwest?

Chen Yin said decisively: "A traitor, dare to stay in the hinterland of Daming? Northwest Songpanwei, Southwest Xingdusi, many small clans rely on Daming for comfort, Gao Kewei went to these two directions, I am afraid that there are really supporters With your confidantes, you can hold fast with the high mountains and dangerous waters, and you can retreat to Tibet conveniently.”

Guo Zan nodded again and again: "Then, which Songpanwei direction should I go? If you calculate the time, where is the best chance of winning?"

"When did you know that Gao Kewei left Fucheng? How many people did he bring with him when he left? Do you have any horses?"

"It's been nearly two hours, and there are nearly 30 people, but Gao Kewei himself rode the horse."

Chen Yin frowned.

Gao Kewei served as an inspector in Sichuan, how many people know him?Could it be that 24 people were divided into Xindu, and he absconded with only a few people?
I can't think about it so much right now, if you want to talk about speed, it's just a horse...

"It's supposed to be by boat!" Chen Yin said, "Uncle, rush to the vicinity of Guanxian County first, the chance of winning should be the best."

"Okay, it's not too late, I'll go right away!" Guo Zan regained hope, took two steps towards the evidence before remembering, turned around and clasped his fists, "I haven't asked my brother's name yet."

Chen Yin smiled slightly and said, "Chen Yin is a low-ranking official, Yin of Yinshi, and he came from a hidden residence just like Commander Luo and Tongzhi Lu."

Guo Zan's eyes lit up, and he grinned and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for pointing out the maze. Don't thank me for your kindness. Let's meet again in the future!"

Born in Qiandi, he is brave and resourceful. After Luo An, Chen Yin's qualifications may not be as good, but it is not impossible for him to be the commander of Jinyiwei in the future.

Guo Zan continued to rush to the next opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but Chen Yin's face was extremely serious after putting away his smile.

According to the procuratorial envoy's rebellion, the chief envoy is also suspected of being an accomplice, and this position is temporarily paralyzed.Before the imperial court made a decree, even Fei Hong would not dare to exceed his authority and directly intervene in the two divisions, so what can Xue Lun do alone?
The news about the Yang family will definitely spread, and some people will only wait and see after hearing about it.

However, if there are really some places in Sichuan where there are soldiers and commanders who raise the anti-flag, and Xue Lun cannot extinguish it as soon as possible due to various logistical problems, then things will be troublesome.

"Mr. Yang, I want to write a secret letter, please arrange for your son to be delivered to somewhere in Fucheng as I said!" Chen Yin added with a solemn expression, "This matter is very important, I will ask Cheng Amber to stay The soldiers escorted them into the city. After the son has delivered the letter, he can go to the Dusi Yamen to listen to General Xue's orders, and nothing will go wrong."

"Listen to benefactor's orders! Listen to benefactor's orders!" Seeing that he had arranged everything well, Yang Tingzhong kept nodding his head.

Five hundred riders roared into the city, and after leaving 100 people behind, Guo Zan led the team to leave again.

Wuqi went south, and the rest went west.

At this time, the four Jinyiwei who were hanging Gao Kewei and his party from a distance at first divided into two teams.

"Damn it, he's still splitting into two groups. We're going to separate again, and there's no one to report back. What should we do?"

"This is definitely not going out of the city to do business! It's so far away, do you think he still has a substitute?"

By the pier outside Xinfan County, two people who looked like travelers were looking at the group of people in the distance under their bamboo hats.

Half of them were boarding a boat, while the other half were hiring a car. Among them, there was a man of similar build and wearing the same silk clothes, who looked like a rich man.

"Why don't you go forward and grab it first?"

"Are you crazy? Lord Walker has no new orders!"

"Then we're separated again, how do we report back?"

"Leave a mark!"
