Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 192 Unraveling the cocoon, the secret of the capital's underground!Sentence, see if you confess!

"It's Du Ying!"

Cao Jixiang frowned: "Which Du Ying?"

"Du Ying, Deputy Commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses!" Song Qian replied.

Cao Jixiang remembered that there was indeed such a person: "The father-in-law of King Jingzhou? Du Ying?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"Why did he buy you a house?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Song Qian hesitated, not daring to speak.

Cao Jixiang ordered the execution.

"Du Ying got a batch of ordnance from the Beijing camp and wanted to smuggle it."

"The location of this house is unique."

"But recently, due to the influx of too many imperial clans, housing prices in the capital have skyrocketed. Many old abandoned houses have been sold at high prices. Houses in the capital are priceless."

"Some small clans have already gone to live outside the city."

"The villain is relying on his father's legacy, and the family still has some savings. I also found a few uncles in the army, and they introduced this house."

"In terms of seniority, the villain still calls Du Ying uncle."

"At that time, the villain's mouth was worn out, so it was hard to talk about it, and finally Du Ying agreed to sell the house to the villain."

"But it's not for sale, but for villains to buy shares and do business together."

"This house is given to the villain..."

Song Qian was rambling.

Cao Jixiang understood that this house belonged to Du Ying, Du Ying gave it to Song Qian, and took Song Qian to do arms smuggling together.

To put it bluntly, Song Qian was used as a backing.

"Which battalion did the ordnance come from?" Cao Jixiang asked.

"The villain doesn't know either. Jingtai changed the battalion to the army in eight years, and it was disrupted. The villain doesn't know which battalion it is."

"Who is it!" Cao Jixiang stared at him.

"Captain Li Shu."

Cao Jixiang frowned. If he remembered correctly, Li Shu had already died in the battle of Xuanzhen.

It should not be found.

He couldn't be sure whether this person was real or not.

"It's him, the villain is the ordnance he got from him." Song Qian was very sure, but unfortunately he had no proof.

"Anything?"

Song Qian said that he had everything except firearms.

"Armors and crossbows?" Cao Jixiang frowned.

Song Qian nodded.

Cao Jixiang asked someone to record it.

But today it is not a question of smuggling in the Chajing camp.

It's about investigating the issue of privately hiding soldiers in the capital.

"Du Ying, did you recruit private soldiers?"

Song Qian nodded, speaking very vaguely: "The Beijing camp eliminated the old and the weak, and some soldiers were eliminated. Hehe, they were naturally absorbed."

Cao Jixiang didn't understand: "Be more specific."

Song Qian plucked up his courage: "My lord, the villain has said it, can you keep the villain's family alive?"

"This governor is safe, tell me!" Cao Jixiang was impatient.

"It is His Majesty's will to change the Beijing camp into an army and weed out the old and the weak."

"But the real situation is that most of the eliminated soldiers are healthy soldiers."

"Even after the victory in Xuanzhen, the Tian family passed down an imperial decree to leave part of the Beijing camp in Xuanzhen, and how many soldiers disappeared during this stay."

"The villain also knows that the army recruits young men every year, but although these young men have military status, they are not in the capital camp, but appear in the backyards of aristocratic families. This kind of thing is not uncommon."

"Those capable old soldiers may have disappeared in a certain battle, but they themselves became servants of powerful families."

"Master Cao is in charge of the patrolling battalion, you must be clear about it?"

Song Qianyu was not surprised and died endlessly.

It is almost necessary to use a bomb to kill Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang's eyes trembled, and his eyes were burning: "How do you know this?"

"The villain is a hereditary military household. He should have inherited his father's position and entered the guard."

"How could there be a villain with ulterior motives to harm me!"

"They eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but the villain lives in a shabby room. Why?"

"The villain is not convinced!"

"That's why villains dare to speak!"

Song Qian respectfully kowtowed.

Cao Jixiang squinted his eyes, but he couldn't see Song Qian through.

Is Song Qian diverting his attention?

Or are you really dissatisfied with the military household system?

Perhaps, it is both.

"Song Qian, you follow the governor!"

Cao Jixiang couldn't bear such a big basket.

He wants to bring Song Qian into the palace and wait for the emperor to make a decision.

Song Qian looked at his family.

"Don't worry, the governor left two people to guard the house. Whoever dares to touch your family, the governor will kill the whole family!"

Cao Jixiang said: "Let's go, let's meet this Du Ying for a while!"

He took a deep look at Song Qian, this Song Qian was not simple.

The emperor must be aware of the stubborn disease in the army, but the emperor has been reluctant to uncover this layer. What is the reason?

But Song Qian wants to uncover the big hole, what is he trying to do?

Song Qian gritted his teeth and kowtowed to the ground: "I beg you to send my family to the prison camp, so that the villain can feel at ease."

"can!"

Walking out of Song Qian's house, Cao Jixiang stopped and looked back at the house: "Tang Xian, stay here and check carefully. The governor always feels that something is wrong with Song Qian."

"Mark the order!"

Cao Jixiang led his troops to Du Ying's home.

At this time, Fan Qing was at Du Ying's home.

Du Ying was over [-] years old, but he was not deaf and blind, and his smile was like a spring breeze, entertaining Fan Qing.

Fan Qing is good at dealing with merchants.

To deal with these military officers, they are tied.

"Master Du..."

"Just call me brother."

Du Ying said with a smile: "Brother is only a little older. In terms of serving His Majesty, it depends on young people like you."

How old are you idiot, but in your 40s.

Fan Qing sent someone to secretly investigate Du Ying's mansion.

Duying's mansion is huge, but there is nothing suspicious about it.

It's just that his daughter is the concubine of King Jingzhou, and she has some connection with Ding Quan, and this is the only clue.

"Brother, if you want to investigate, you can do so with confidence."

Du Ying cupped his hands and said: "My Du family is loyal to His Majesty, and I will be loyal to Daming and have no second thoughts."

"The old man is full of ambition, and the younger generation admires it."

Fan Qing is waiting for Xiao Wu's feedback.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Wu appeared at the door and shook his head at Fan Qing.

Fan Qing stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Du, for your hospitality, and this junior will take his leave."

He didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.

Now His Majesty has opened up the territory, reused the honored ministers, and the military attache has already appeared.

So he didn't want to offend the military officer. No one knew that the Du family would be valued by the emperor one day, and they would soar into the sky.

Du Ying repeatedly asked to stay, and sent him all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Fan Qing also smiled.

Standing at the gate of the mansion, Fan Qing kept saluting with the attitude of a junior.

Dongchang fans also need to talk about human feelings.

Suddenly there was a sound of hooves.

Cao Jixiang took the lead, dressed in official robes and a black cloak, and his morale was like a rainbow, beating in the wind.

Suddenly reining in the reins, the horse neighed, and flew off the horse with a vigorous figure.

He held up the imperial decree from his arms: "Your Majesty's secret decree, check all the residences of the capital!"

Du Ying's face twitched, and he quickly knelt on the ground, paying respects to the imperial decree.

Then he said: "Report to Mr. Cao, Mr. Dongchang Fan has checked my house."

He knew Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang didn't care too much, and glanced at Fan Qing.

With a cold snort, he stepped directly into Du Ying's mansion.

Patrol battalions and factory guards, well water does not violate river water, can cooperate in handling cases, but they must not be related.

The emperor's suspicion is serious.

The factory guards, patrol battalions and other agencies dare to collude with each other, it is the old birthday star eating arsenic and courting death.

Fan Qing, a low official, saluted Cao Jixiang.

Neither speak.

We all know it well.

"Du Ying, gather all your family members here and kneel down!"

Cao Jixiang looked back with a fierce face: "Are you listening?"

Du Ying trembled all over: "My lord..."

Reed!
Cao Jixiang drew out his waist knife and put it on Du Ying's neck: "The governor asked you, did you hear me?"

Du Ying swallowed.

Compared with the easy-going Fan Qing, the Patrol Battalion is really notorious.

Especially Cao Jixiang, who originally belonged to the Mobei royal party, did not know what ecstasy soup was given to the emperor. Instead of killing him, the emperor made him the battalion supervisor of the patrolling camp.

"Your official will do it!" Du Ying complied.

Cao Jixiang glanced at Fan Qing who hadn't left: Boy, learn a bit, you are still too young to handle cases.

Then he led people into Du Ying's mansion.

The people in the patrol battalion were divided into two teams, one team surrounded Du Ying's house, and the other team followed Cao Jixiang into the mansion.

"My lord, what should we do?" Xiao Wu looked at the majestic patrol camp, feeling envious.

"Follow and have a look."

Fan Qing didn't understand, did the patrol camp find anything?
Otherwise, why are you so rude to Du Ying?

He walks into the lobby.

I saw Cao Jixiang killing people.

Cao Jixiang slashed Du Ying's eldest son with a knife, laughing like a madman: "Du Ying, you still don't confess?"

"My lord, what did you ask the subordinate to confess to!"

Du Ying burst into tears: "My son...Master Cao, you must give justice to the subordinate today, otherwise..."

The blood-stained blade rested on his neck.

Cao Jixiang smiled and asked, "Otherwise what?"

Du Yingyi was not afraid: "Otherwise, I will go to Fengtian Hall to sue you! Your Majesty, please let me decide!"

"Humph!"

Cao Jixiang smiled: "You have many sons, kill them! Kill one more!"

The voice falls!

Fang Xing slashed his head.

Du Ying's second son was beheaded.

Two brothers, two heads, looking at each other on the ground.

Fan Qing was dumbfounded. Is this the way the patrol camp works?Regardless of reason, directly kill?Isn't Cao Jixiang afraid of being blamed by the palace?
He thought Gong Hui was a villain.

But compared to Gong Hui and Cao Jixiang, they are both great benevolent people.

Cao Jixiang is the real evil.

Du Ying was frightened.

The two sons died in a blink of an eye.

No matter how many sons he had, he couldn't stand killing him like this!
"Continue!" Cao Jixiang sat up and sipped tea.

Fang Xing grabbed the third son.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to know!"

Du Ying was terrified of being killed, and kept kowtowing: "Whatever you want, please tell me, I, Du Ying, can do whatever I have!"

"kill!"

Cao Jixiang flicked his fingers.

Another head dropped.

Three sons died.

Du Ying collapsed: "What are you going to do!"

Cao Jixiang moved his fingers and asked Fang Xing to pull out Du Ying's last son.

Du Ying has six sons and eight daughters.

But two of the sons were dead, leaving only four.

Now, there is only this single seedling left.

An only seedling in his fifties.

When being dragged out, the person lay on the ground and was dragged out of a human-shaped path.

Fang Xing thought he was heavy and kicked him twice.

It turned out that this person had been frightened to death!
"What a fucking waste!"

Fang Xing came over and reported: "Battle Supervisor, I'm scared to death!"

Cao Jixiang became happy: "You are still a dignified military officer. How dare you go to the battlefield?"

Du Ying saw with his own eyes that all four sons were killed!
He looked like he was crazy: "Cao Jixiang! This officer is irreconcilable with you!"

"What are you shouting for? Is it higher than your voice?"

Cao Jixiang sneered: "It's just a few sons! What a big deal!"

"Your son is dead, and your grandson is dead, pull it out and continue killing!"

Du Ying was crying and laughing, almost going crazy.

He looked at Fan Qing as if asking for help, hoping that Fan Qing could help with a word.

But Fan Qing was also dumbfounded.

The patrolling battalion has no evidence, just killed the military officer without authorization, and when His Majesty blames him, how will Cao Jixiang end up?

But Cao Jixiang drank tea slowly without speaking, just waiting for Du Ying to speak.

"One breath, one kill!"

"Anyway, he has a lot of Du family members."

"I can't finish killing!"

Cao Jixiang spoke slowly.

Du Ying's body was weak, he had already made up his mind, the matter was vented!
But he wanted to fool it.

Cao Jixiang told him, whether you say it or not, everyone will be executed. Since the governor has used the knife, no one in your family will live.

The only difference is, do you want to die with the Jiu Clan?
"Master Cao, what exactly do you want!" Du Ying wailed, and the [-]-year-old man lay on the ground and wailed, unable to bear to look directly at him.

"Not at odds with Ben Du?"

"Aren't you going to Fengtian Palace to sue the governor?"

"Don't ask the emperor to make the decision?"

Cao Jixiang smiled and said, "Aren't you being stubborn?"

Du Ying was distraught.

Every few seconds, a grandson dies.

Cao Jixiang was not in a hurry, anyway, it was your grandson who died.

Du Ying prostrated on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, please forgive me! Please!"

In the face of life and death, his little official of Sesame Mung Bean is not a fart.

"Then do you know why Ben Du came here?" Cao Jixiang finally asked.

Du Ying shook his head.

Cao Jixiang asked Fang Xing, "How many people are still alive?"

Fang Xing didn't do it himself. He went out for a trip and came back to report: "This old man is very capable of having children. He only killed twelve of his 77 grandchildren."

"Too slow, ten, ten kills!" Cao Jixiang dusted himself off.

Du Ying kowtowed to Cao Jixiang: "I beg your lord, leave an incense for my Du family!"

"You also have many great-grandsons. After killing the grandsons, kill the great-grandsons. There are still many great-grandchildren, and there are many more! You can't finish killing them! Hahaha!"

Cao Jixiang laughed triumphantly.

Fan Qing was full of disgust towards Cao Jixiang, he was completely a murderer.

What exactly did Du Ying commit?

Let you be killed casually?

That's the official of the imperial court!

"I say!"

Du Ying wailed loudly: "Xiaguan and Song Qian got a batch of ordnance from the Beijing camp and smuggled it! Xiaguan is guilty!"

Fan Qing was dumbfounded.

Smuggling arms?

It must be sent to Mobei!

These ordnance, in turn, killed the Ming army!
"That's it?"

Cao Jixiang put down the teacup: "Is it true that the governor will come in person?"

Fan Qing was even more shocked.

Du Ying was at a loss.

"Twenty kill them together! Ben Du has no time to waste here!"

Cao Jixiang snorted coldly: "After killing your family, then kill your relatives."

"As long as you are panting, no one will live!"

Cao Jixiang's eyes were sharp.

"I beg my lord to leave an incense for my Du family, leave an incense!" Du Ying frantically kowtowed.

"Where did the arms smuggle go?"

Cao Jixiang stood up slowly: "Come here, dig up the whole mansion three feet and search it for the governor!"

Fan Qing was good at observing words and expressions, and immediately noticed something was wrong. He couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the battalion supervisor, what do you mean, that batch of ordnance is in Du Ying's mansion?"

"What do you think?" Cao Jixiang stared at him.

Fan Qing saluted respectfully: "The lower officials are willing to assist in the investigation, not for credit, but just to know the truth."

Cao Jixiang sized him up: "Fan Qing, right? Knowing how to be a man, that's great. The governor allows you to assist in the investigation."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Fan Qing saluted.

Take someone out of the hall to check.

He has a special interest in investigating cases, and he doesn't understand why Cao Jixiang yelled at Du Ying to kill him?

Did Du Ying offend him?Or is Cao Jixiang so cruel to everyone?
He wanted to figure it out.

Cao Jixiang looked at his back, this kid is a bit interesting.

Du Ying howled on the ground, whispering: "What is the law of heaven, what is the law of heaven?"

Cao Jixiang was upset when he heard this: "Throw him out and let him watch the murder!"

Ying Ding and Dongchang Fanzi of the Patrol Battalion cooperated with the investigation.

Turned the whole mansion over, but found nothing.

Fan Qing took a teapot, bang bang bang, drank a stomach full of herbal tea, and exhaled foul air: "A small deputy commander, living in such a big house?"

He hadn't noticed this detail before.

I thought it was because Du Ying's family had a large population, so the house was big enough.

But after walking on both legs, I realized that it takes more than half an hour to walk around the whole house.

Even if Du Ying was appointed as the commander for 1 years, he would not be able to afford such a big house in the capital. How much is the salary of the commander?
"My lord, this yard originally belonged to the richest merchant in the capital."

"Later, the wealthy businessman disappeared, and the house became empty."

"Du Ying bought it from Duzhijian. The price is 120 million taels of silver, and the payment is cash."

Xiao Wu sent someone to fetch the dossier, and it was recorded in the dossier.

"120 million taels? Didn't the prison have any doubts?" Fan Qing thought it was impossible.

Unless it is a registered wealthy businessman who bought such a luxury house in one go.

If a deputy command envoy comes to buy it, he will be impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. What is the job of being an inspector and censor?
Absolutely impossible!

and many more!

Rich businessman?

"Is this Du Ying in contact with the wealthy businessman?" Fan Qing asked.

Xiao Wu shook his head: "No, what is said in the mark is all recorded in the file."

"There is something wrong with this file, it should have been tampered with."

Fan Qing walked through the courtyard and went to the garden to have a look. The garden was in the style of Su's garden.

However, it is recorded in the file that the original owner of this courtyard was a Shanxi businessman, so he probably wouldn’t appreciate Suzhou gardens, right?
Looking at the garden formed by piles of strange rocks, Fan Qing seemed to have thought of something.

Pushing aside the hanging willow branches, he quickly climbed up a rockery, looked down at the whole garden, and suddenly listened: "What sound?"

"Like the wind."

Xiao Wu put his ears on the rockery: "It's like the sound of the wind passing through the gaps in the rockery."

"In the Su-style garden, the wind blows over the stones, and the frictional sound produced creates a beautiful scenery of listening to the wind in the mountains."

Fan Qing's eyes were like lightning: "But Ben Du sounds so weird? Does it look like a bellows?"

"How can there be bellows in such a beautiful scenery? Strange!"

"Come here a few people, dig up the rockery for me!"

The more Fan Qing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Looking down at the overall situation and looking at it together, I found something wrong.

"My lord, why do you suspect that there is something wrong in this mountain?" Xiao Wu wondered.

"Look at this mountain, why is there a piece missing? Many rocks are like this." Fan Qing found all the rocks.

"It looks like the trace of a sword!" Xiao Wu suddenly said.

Fan Qing nodded.

Let people dig quickly.

As a result, after digging a few times, nothing was dug out.

Fan Qing held onto the stone, jumped down, grabbed a shovel, and dug deep, deep, and continued to dig. After a few more shovels, the shovel stopped.

"Quick, please come over from the patrol camp!" Fan Qing said to Xiao Wu.

Then let Dongchang Fanzi form a battle formation and do a good job of defense.

Soon, a large number of patrolmen came over.

call out!
A sharp arrow came out from a crack in the mountain and hit a camper's chest.

Another large number of battalions fell.

Many arrows and crossbows flew over from the opposite side, and many campers were hit.

"There is a crossbow!"

After all, Ying Ding had never been on the battlefield.

It's nothing to bully good people, but if you really encounter hard stubble.

Some even peed their pants in fright.

Fan Qing was also dumbfounded for a moment.

Du Ying actually practiced the private army!
Also harbors bows and crossbows!
This group of people dared to use crossbow arrows at the patrol camp and Dongchang.

This is not tantamount to rebellion, it is rebellion!
"Don't panic!"

Fan Qing roared: "The direction of the crossbow is not in the mountains, but in the ground!"

"Their sight is limited, as long as you get out of their sight, you're safe!"

"Everyone look for cover, don't move!"

"Xiao Wu, you go to Ming Di, please come and support Mr. Chen!"

Fan Qing quickly made the optimal solution.

Sure enough, people hid behind the bunker, and the arrows and crossbows shot into the air, and the hidden enemies stopped shooting arrows.

call out!
As soon as Xiao Wu raised the arrow crossbow, he was hit by an arrow in his arm.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu hid quickly, otherwise he would be stuck in the chest.

"How?" Fan Qing was anxious.

Xiao Wu has been with him for many years and is his confidant.

"My lord, the bid is all right!" Xiao Wu gasped in pain.

Fan Qing gritted his teeth, he didn't know how to fight.

But the arrow hit his neck, and he had to find a way to save himself.

calm down!

Must be calm!

He repeatedly told himself that the more this time came, the more calm he should be.

He began to analyze.

Hidden enemies, can see them.

There is no shooting now, which means that the enemy is on the opposite side. Fortunately, I didn't go deep into the garden, otherwise I would be dumped.

"Brothers, don't panic!"

"Listen to my orders!"

"Don't move just yet."

Fan Qing took Mingdi's arrow from Xiaowu's hand, glanced at the nearest boulder, confirmed the distance, and began to gather momentum.

Suddenly, the body rolled and rolled around on the ground.

In an instant, more than a dozen arrows pierced the ground behind him.

call out!
Fan Qing took the opportunity to blow a dysprosium towards the sky, causing the arrow to shoot out.

He leaned against the rock again.

There was a pain in his abdomen, and an arrow grazed along his ribs, breaking a piece of skin.

Fortunately, it is not poisonous.

Just a minor injury.

"My friend on the opposite side, this officer is Fan Qing, Commander of the East Factory!"

Fan Qing said loudly: "This is a dead place, I have already investigated it."

"If you disarm and surrender, I will intercede with His Majesty, maybe you will be recruited into the army and serve the country."

"Fart, I don't work for the dog officials!" A voice came from the ground.

Sure enough, it's under the ground!
Just dug right.

This group of people is hiding under the ground under the rockery.

"Hearing the accent, it looks like a native of Shandong."

"It's not like Du Ying's private soldier."

"Then why are they at Du Ying's house?"

"Judging from his proficiency in using bows and crossbows, he is a sharpshooter, better than many crossbowmen in the army."

Fan Qing quickly analyzed: "They have nothing to worry about. Does it mean that there is still a road underground that can lead to other places?"

"Little Five, the map!" Fan Qing whispered.

Xiao Wu, who was simply dressing up, immediately took out a thick bamboo tube from the waistband of his trousers, and threw it over carefully.

Fan Qing caught it.

Open the thick bamboo tube, and there is a map of the capital rolled inside.

Fan Qing quickly determined the direction of Du Ying's house.

The location of this house is excellent, close to the Drum Tower, close to Dongzhimen and Andingmen.

But it is the closest to Andingmen.

Tunnel, can it be dug out of the city?
The foundation of the capital city wall is very deep, and it is reasonable to say that it cannot be dug through.

But when did this group start digging?How long have you been digging?

Fan Qing didn't dare to think about it.

Where is the horse raising army?

When can I arrive!

After arriving, will this group escape from the secret passage?

But if you can escape for your life, why do you have to confront the government and the army?
What are they waiting for?

Fan Qing quickly made a decision that he could not wait for the horse-raising army to come to his rescue, but had to rely on himself.

"Xiao Wu, you brought people and burned the whole house down!"

Xiao Wu was stunned: "My lord, someone shoots an arrow as soon as I move, why burn it?"

"It doesn't have to be on fire, as long as there is smoke."

Fan Qing planned to dig a piece through and put smoke in it.

Xiao Wu has no way to collect the smoke, and it is even more unrealistic to burn the house.

Simply take off your clothes, collect a ball, and directly ignite it with a torch.

Fan Qing asked for a shovel, threw it over, and started digging.

When you encounter hard ground, hit it hard with a shovel.

It is slate.

Fan Qing smashed it with a stone, and it broke open after a few blows.

At the moment it was smashed open, he rolled his body and immediately avoided the hole.

Sure enough, a sharp arrow shot out of it.

"Throw it over!" Fan Qing shouted.

Xiao Wu wrapped up his clothes with a belt, and it was already on fire, so he threw it over.

Fan Qing screamed, it was too hot.

He didn't care about burning it, and threw it into the hole dug through.

But the ball of clothes was too big, so I didn't throw it in.

Fan Qing stuffed it with a shovel.

There was a scream from inside.

And messy footsteps.

"Run away!"

Fan Qing looked around for a week: "Those who want to gain credit, follow me!"

Several people in the patrol battalion took off their clothes and threw them into the sky. At the same time as sharp arrows came, they quickly ran here.

Fan Qing gathered around a dozen people who were not afraid of death.

His face was covered with sweat, some were hot, some were nervous and frightened.

"Whether it is successful or not today, I will definitely report the credit to you, and His Majesty will not begrudge rewards!"

Fan Qing cheered up and boosted morale.

Ditch the useless gear and just carry the knife.

Fan Qing goes off first.

Firelight illuminated the basement.

Fan Qing jumped down. The basement was carefully built with high shelves and torches lit the walls.

There are messy footprints on the ground.

It should have been withdrawn.

Something is wrong, since I can withdraw, why did I have to wait so long?
Fan Qing swallowed, and his gaze was firm: "I am in front, you follow! Pay attention to the mechanism!"

Stab it!Stab it!
After walking for a while, Fan Qing seemed to hear the sound of fire behind an iron gate.

He kicked it away and backed away at the same time, worried about the arrows.

As a result, there was nothing but the sound of fire burning.

It was brightly lit inside.

Not a torture chamber, but a forging chamber.

There are iron smelting tools on it, the fire on the stove is still burning, there are scattered weapons on the ground that have not been taken away in time, and iron ore being refined.

And there is still molten iron under construction on the stove.

There are also bellows that have not moved.

Fan Qing immediately understood that the sound of the wind heard above was most likely the sound of the phoenix singing on the mountain after the bellows were pulled.

Looking around, not only swords are being forged, but also armor is being forged.

Fan Qing swallowed his saliva, this time he really broke the sky.

However, the credit is also great!

"Quick, go chase!" Fan Qing chased along the Yonglu.

Chen Shao led the army and came late.

"Chen Zongbing, how long has it been since Mingdi?"

Cao Jixiang yelled: "Why did you come so late?"

He was so anxious that he regretted not letting Fang Xing lead the team, otherwise he wouldn't have let those thieves run away.

Chen Shao cupped his hands sloppily, his head was covered with sweat: "I am at the Chaoyang Gate, and I hurried over after hearing the announcement! Eunuch Cao, what happened?"

Cao Jixiang had no time to argue with him.

Take him to the back garden, talking while walking.

Chen Shao was taken aback: "Forging room?"

"Fan Qing came to report, the basement is well connected."

"It's very easy to get lost when you first enter."

"Fan Qing guessed that this group of people should have dug a secret passage out of the city, and they had already evacuated in time."

Cao Jixiang was heartbroken.

Chen Shao ordered the troops to go down immediately.

Search along the tunnel.

Busy until night fell, but found nothing.

Underneath Andingmen, Chen Shao and Fan Qing met: "Is there any gain?"

"Go back to the adults, there is no gain yet."

Fan Qing was sweating profusely, almost dehydrated.

It was stuffy in the basement.

They have come to the end, but this place should have dug through the city wall and left the city.

"My lord, let's make a guess, this group of people should have a serious status in the city." Fan Qing analyzed.

"how to say?"

Chen Shao's impression of Fan Qing improved.

Found this guy to be a talent.

"My lord, have you noticed that the basement is so stuffy and hot, we people who practice martial arts all the year round can't stand it, let alone ordinary people?"

Fan Qing kept wiping away his sweat.

Chen Shao handed over a wine bag, which contained water.

Fan Qing is also welcome.

After unscrewing it, I tilted my head back and drank a lot.

After wiping off his sweat, he continued: "Look, it must not have been a day's work to build this basement like this."

"Biaoxia speculates that this basement may have been repaired for several years."

"In the past few years, it is impossible for everyone to live in the basement all the time."

"You should have noticed that there is not even a toilet in here."

"So, in the capital, they must have a serious status."

"But it can disappear openly within a certain period of time, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion."

Chen Shao listened and nodded: "Who do you think it might be?"

Fan Qing smiled wryly: "My lord, analysis is useless, we have to find out the evidence."

"Do not."

"Lord Fan, in the past, we paid attention to evidence in handling cases."

"Not today."

"Your Majesty is in Fengtian Hall, so he must have been waiting impatiently."

Chen Shao hinted that as long as the analysis is made, he can arrest anyone at will.

"The bidder believes that it is a man who collects buckets of excrement." Fan Qing's analysis makes sense.

Because there are only dung workers, the common people are unwilling to deal with them, so naturally they will not have a deep understanding of their trajectories.

As a clerk in a shop, whenever he disappears, it arouses suspicion.

and.

To build a basement, a lot of soil has to be dug out, and materials such as stones, slates, and wood have to be transported in, and vehicles must be used.

There are cars in the carriage and horse shop, but the handlebar style of the carriage and horse shop often deals with people, and it is impossible to disappear suddenly, which will arouse suspicion.

Only the dung workers' cars were not checked, and going back and forth would not arouse suspicion.

"I think your analysis is reasonable!"

Chen Shao immediately said: "In the entire capital, you Dongchang are the most familiar, you, Fan Qing, go and catch it, no matter it's a human or a ghost, you must catch it!"

"Mark the order!"

Fan Qing didn't want to use analysis to convict him.

But the matter is urgent, the emperor has been waiting for a day, but the more he investigates, the bigger the matter is, and it is not easy to deal with it.

"My lord, please keep it secret." Fan Qing was worried that someone would leak the secret.

Chen Shao nodded and watched Fan Qing leave.

He continued to look at the basement.

How did that group get out?
Are there secret passages up there?
Every twenty steps, he left two people, two people in each room, and he took the rest of the people to check repeatedly.

Geng Jiuchou and four others.

When you are sent out of the palace, you can't just check merchants.

They mainly check officials in the court.

You can only open the Chaoyang Gate and check the official residence.

To enter a family, everyone in the mansion had to stand in the courtyard, while his men turned the whole mansion over and over to check.

The division of labor among the four is clear.

Divide all the official residences outside the Chaoyang Gate into four parts, and each of the four people is responsible for a corner.

It will be dark.

Zhu Qiyu has received the report.

"Please investigate strictly, Your Majesty!" Wang Hong was startled after reading the report.

In the land of the capital, there is such a group of thieves hiding in the ground, what are they going to do underground to build weapons and armor?
The group also shot arrows at the factory guards and killed more than a dozen members of the patrol battalion.

What are you going to do?
"Now you want to investigate strictly?"

Zhu Qiyu held back his anger: "Who was it before, I'm not allowed to check this, check that!"

"I am guilty!"

The courtiers didn't expect it either.

There will be people who are really bold. This is not the same as rebellion, but already rebelling.

Who is it?
Not to mention other things, just digging through this basement requires a huge amount of money, plus various equipment and recruiting manpower, it is unimaginable how much money is needed.

Most importantly, how to make it airtight?

The courtiers couldn't figure it out either.

Zhu Qiyu was also dumbfounded.

I really don't know if I don't check it, I'm shocked when I check it.

"You said, I'm not making trouble out of no reason?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Without His Majesty's foresight, we would still be in the dark."

"Wait until the rebels are captured into the mansion, and the family members fall into the hands of thieves."

"Fortunately, His Majesty's destiny was given by the gods to predict in advance, so that we can solve our catastrophe!"

Wang Hong just picks up nice words.

Now, I'm really in a cold sweat, and I'm extremely scared.

Those who dare to forge weapons in the capital and want to rebel, what can't they do?
Don't forget, the courtiers standing on Fengtian Temple are the ones with vested interests.

"Humph!"

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Zhu Qing, are there any rebels among you?"

The courtiers prostrated themselves on the ground, afraid to speak.

"Now turn yourself in."

"I will give you a chance to live, but you can go to Mobei and be an ordinary person."

"If I wait until I find out."

"The chance to go to hell and be an ordinary person is gone."

Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "Come on, come on?"

Waited for a long time.

None of the courtiers spoke.

They're all pretending to be sages.

Zhu Qiyu doesn't believe it, there is no one in the court to protect him?
Could it be possible to sit on the throne with just a group of rebels?

This is Ming Dynasty, not Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!
Who is the master behind this group of people?
He was also wondering if it was Zhu Qizhen.

But the capital has gathered so many princes, if it is really about the blood of the Taizu, there is really a slight possibility of inheriting the great lineage.

Who knows who will have a convulsion in the head and want to ascend to the throne by rebelling.

After all, there are examples, no?
On the contrary, Zhu Qiyu didn't know who to suspect.

"it is good!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "Since you are all loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty, then I hope you will have a beginning and an end."

"Don't let me find out."

"At that time, it will be difficult for you to ask for death."

Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked Feng Xiao: "Can the Meridian Gate be closed?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's closed!"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the courtiers inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, he didn't dare to walk among the courtiers.

The face has been completely torn apart, the whereabouts of that group of people have been exposed, and they will be caught sooner or later.

Maybe the rebels will take the risk and assassinate him in Fengtian Temple.

Feng Xiaoxin understood.

Order all the officials outside the hall to enter the hall.

Zhu Qiyu walked through the side door, out of the Fengtian Hall, stood on top of the Fengtian Gate, and looked down at the densely packed clan.

Du Ying Mansion.

Cao Jixiang is torturing Du Ying.

Du Ying didn't even have a human figure: "The lower officials don't know anything..."

"Still pretending?"

Cao Jixiang's hands were covered with blood: "This governor gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it!"

"I killed several of your sons and grandchildren before."

"Look now, it's cheaper for them."

"You should know how lucky you are to die now that you have entered the prison of the patrol camp!"

Cao Jixiang's eyes were red.

Obviously that gang of thieves is right under their feet.

He just let him go!
Let Fang Xing lead the team at that time, so that Fan Qing won't take all the credit for it. It is obvious that Cao Jixiang is the one who deserves the most credit for this.

As a result, Fan Qing became the first success.

The key point is that the gang of thieves disappeared, and the emperor was furious. He had already sent someone to deliver an order, and they must be wiped out.

Cao Jixiang did not dare to slack off.

Du Ying barely held his eyelids: "Anyway, old man, I don't have a few days to live..."

"So you don't recruit and let your family suffer?" Cao Jixiang asked.

Du Ying shook her head: "I really don't know."

"A mansion bought for 120 million taels."

"There are rebels hiding in the house."

"The owner of the house doesn't know anything!"

"It's fooling fools!"

Cao Jixiang took the tooth extraction tools and pried open Du Ying's mouth, one, two, three, four...

All the remaining teeth in Duying's mouth were pulled out.

Blood kept gushing out.

Du Ying is over 70 years old and cannot stand such a toss.

"Okay, if you don't recruit, I have nothing to do with you."

Cao Jixiang smiled strangely: "Brothers have been busy for a long day, and they are all tired, so let's relax."

He looked at Du Ying: "These are your daughters-in-law, grandson's wife, and great-grandson's wife. You don't feel bad, but the governor has already sent someone to arrest your daughter."

"Including the concubine of King Jingzhou!"

Cao Jixiang said solemnly: "You will see with your own eyes how much your daughter will suffer!"

"She, she is the princess, you, you dare to move?" Du Ying's eyes widened.

"princess?"

Cao Jixiang sneered: "Even if the prince rebels, he must die!"

"Back then, the king of Han was the uncle of Emperor Xuanzong. What happened to him?"

"Not to mention a county king from a distant branch?"

"The governor wants to torture and kill, just a waste of torture!"

Cao Jixiang restrained his anger: "Do you know that all the crimes they have suffered are from you, Du Ying!"

"Go!"
