golden scales

Dorgon is in a fit of anger, who dares to persuade him?Only Sukesaha relied on being Prince Rui's confidant, and whispered to Geshiha to put Song Hongye in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and wait for his execution. .

Song Hongye was relieved when he learned that he was not dead, but he still cried like a pig, and played the image of a coward to the fullest.

The entire Prince Zheng's Mansion soon caught fire due to the explosion. As the commander of the infantry, Ai Xing'a led the troops to the palace, knocked down several walls, and used water dragons to control the fire without burning all the way to the palace.But such a major event must not be hidden from the inner palace.In fact, Shunzhi was awakened by the sound of the explosion, and saw the flames with his own eyes, so he was really frightened.

After dawn, the nine gates of the capital were closed tightly, the city was under martial law, suspicious persons were investigated, and the "relics" of Prince Zheng's Mansion were cleaned up.However, to Ai Xing'a's despair, large slogans were pasted everywhere in the inner and outer cities of the capital, and the inscription read "Slaughter is full and wiped out, restore the Ming Dynasty", and the inscription is also left: the soul-returning man.

These three sinister characters clearly indicated the identity of the rebels, who were the rest of the generation after death.However, after the [-]th day of the first lunar month, everyone in the Han people in Gyeonggi can be said to be a "returned soul"!Even Bao Yi, who came to the capital from Liaodong, can be regarded as "survival after death".This signature not only did not leave any clues for the eradication of the chaotic party, but also aroused the hearts of the Han people to share the same hatred!

"Anyone who hides paper, ink, brush and inkstone at home is suspected of being a chaotic party! Get caught first!" Ai Xing'a announced.

Yanjing is the most good district in Ming Dynasty, and the literacy rate is already high.Which neighborhood does not have a literate person?According to this investigation, it is only slightly better than finding a needle in a haystack.

Although he knew that this Manchurian Tartar had a whim, but the Eight Banners soldiers under him didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.They are very happy to perform this kind of task of copying the nature of the family name, and they can make the purse a little heavier.

The capital is ushered in another wave of chaos.

After Song Hongye was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the news reached his family at dawn.

"Grandma! The master has been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" The maid ran around the inner house, passing the sad news to the mistress who was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

The young mistress appeared to be sitting on the bed blankly, but in fact she was calm and composed.

She didn't see Song Hongye sending a message back last night, so she knew there was a change, and she had secretly destroyed the keys, potions and other things that were easily reminiscent of "Jian spy".Now that she has received the news that Song Hongye is in prison, she should pretend to be a ruthless prostitute, abscond immediately with money, and wait for the wind to pass in the safe house of the capital, or even wait until Master Wang returns to the capital.

However, this Jiao Didi Xuxian mistress seems to love the master too much...

"Chuck... cluck..."

"Grandma! What's wrong with you, grandma!" The maid was frightened by the eerie smile.

"Cluck! Cluck!" The mistress just laughed strangely, jumped out of the bed, stepped on the ground barefoot, walked slowly to the dressing table, took a mahogany comb, and began to comb her hair.

"Grandma, let this servant help you comb your hair." The personal maid rushed forward, but was pushed away by the mistress.

"One comb, comb all the way to the end; two comb our girl's white hair and eyebrows; three comb the girl's children and grandchildren all over the floor; four comb the master for good luck, and meet nobles on the way out..."

The mistress sang the hair combing song when she got married, with a strange "giggle" laugh.The comb in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, as if he wanted to tear off his scalp.The personal maid was finally frightened, and slowly backed away, turned around and escaped from the weird room, shouting loudly: "Come here! Call the doctor! Grandma is hysterical!"

The strange laughter chased the maid out of the backyard, and several healthy women stood guard at the door, not daring to go forward.After a while, this young and delicate mistress rushed out dancing, shouting loudly: "Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Department, obey my orders! Kill demons and eliminate demons, and the world will be peaceful!" Everyone dared not stop her, but some people heard her say so. Shouting, remembering the Taoism of the mistress, Shengzhen must go to the temple to offer incense on the [-]th birthday of the first day of the lunar new year, so he shouted: "Maybe there is something evil, go and invite the Taoist priest of Dongyue Temple!"

"The Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Division..."

The mistress screamed, and suddenly there was a bang behind her, and the flames burst out, and the strong momentum sent the healthy women and servants guarding the gate of the inner courtyard flying out, and fell to the ground, each with their own flowers.On the contrary, it was the crazy mistress who escaped the catastrophe because she ran fast.She looked at the servants who were moaning and howling all over the floor, and she actually clapped her hands and cheered, and shouted: "Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Department, obey my orders! Kill demons and eliminate demons, the world will be peaceful! Kill demons and eliminate demons! Kill demons and eliminate demons!..."

The servants outside rushed in quickly, and while they were going to rescue the injured servants, a maid came forward and wrapped the mistress in cloth, and sent her to the side room to be locked up, regardless of her yelling.

This is the second explosion. Although Song Hongye has already entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but before last night, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War and the bannerman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Ai Xing'a took the bombing of the Song residence together with the case of Prince Zheng's mansion as a matter of course, but it was exactly in line with the words of "slaughtering and eradicating".Looking at the ruins in Song's house, Ai Xing'a also lamented a little for her old subordinates.Just overnight, he was thrown into prison, his home was bombed, and the woman went crazy... This is simply a disaster from heaven!

—Wait a minute, this might be a good thing too!

Ai Xing suddenly thought: Although this kid's family was ruined, he managed to save his life!Now the soul-returning man bombed Song Hongye's house, apparently to put Song Hongye to death.At this time, even if the regent wanted to kill Song Hongye, he could only hold back.Otherwise, wouldn't he be used as a knife?

Sure enough, when Dorgon learned that Song Hongye's home was bombed, he specially promoted Song Hongye.Generally speaking, this means that Dorgon will not kill him again, otherwise there is no need to do so.

"Do you know the soul-returning people?" Dorgon asked Song Hongye who was kneeling under the hall sharply.

Song Hongye had already been stripped of his official uniform, and put on a prison uniform, knelt on the ground trembling, and said, "I have heard from insiders that their leader seems to be called the soul-returning man."

"Do you know that the soul-returning man is going to kill you?"

Song Hongye pretended to be shocked and turned pale: "Kill the slaves?"

Dorgon showed a rotten expression: "He blew up your back house this morning. If this king hadn't thrown you into prison, you would have been buried in it!" Kesaha's momentary act was his own.

Song Hongye immediately lost his mind and said: "Then, that servant's family..."

"Your woman is crazy." Dorgon didn't say much, but just explained the fact so that Song Hongye sounded like he was frightened crazy by the soul-returning man.

Song Hongye buried his head in the floor tiles, whining.

"Don't cry!" Dorgon said impatiently: "Man, why are you acting like a little girl! If you still have a third blood, you should go and dig out that chaotic party!"

Song Hongye cried with snot and tears all over his face, and suddenly raised his head and said: "The master is right! The slaves will definitely wipe out those chaotic parties! Eat their flesh! Drink their blood! Make their life worse than death!"

Dorgon waved his hand and said, "Go."

Song Hongye kowtowed heavily, got up and walked out, crying as he walked, as if he was really sad.

"By the way, why did the rebellious party bomb your house?" Dorgon suddenly asked behind Song Hongye.

Song Hongye is not on the list of Han annihilation, nor is he the highest among Han people in terms of official position.Why didn't the chaotic party bomb Feng Quan's house, but Song Hongye's house instead?Although gunpowder is not very expensive, it is not cheap either!

Song Hongye paused, turned around and knelt down immediately, and said, "I don't know, please let me know!"

"Sigh." Dorgon stared at Song Hongye for a while, seemed to feel sorry for Song Hongye's intelligence, and finally shook his head: "Obviously your eyes and ears have betrayed you."

What about Song Hongye?He is [-]% sure that his "wife" pretended to be crazy and blew up his house, firstly to cover up the underground copper tunnel, and secondly to observe whether he had betrayed.If he betrayed himself, as a lunatic who was shunned by others, there was still time to escape.If she hadn't betrayed herself, she would have just saved her life.

——This woman is really amazing, no wonder she was sent to Yanjing.

Song Hongye praised secretly in his heart.

"Absolutely not!" Song Hongye cried: "Master doesn't know something. Those two eyes and ears are good brothers who have followed me for more than ten years! They know that they will die if they fall into the hands of the rebellious party, and the slave must take care of them." How could their family sell their slaves?"

Dorgon shook his head and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable, so go."

Song Hongye cried and kowtowed, and then retreated.

The opera had to be sung in its entirety. Song Hongye returned home, saw his unconscious wife in the wing room, and gave a large reward to the Taoist priest who exorcised the evil spirits.

"I asked you to prepare some gunpowder at home, sure enough."

When the crowd dispersed, the mistress' eyes were clear, and she looked at Song Hongye with a smile.

Song Hongye had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Manchurians are really moody. If they are killed like this, where can they complain?"

"If someone catches you and kills you, won't you be wronged?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Tong Yan Wuji!" Song Hongye quickly broke the little girl's confession, and said: "The first step has finally been taken, and now is the crucial second step."

"How sure are you?" the mistress asked in a low voice.

Song Hongye smiled bitterly and said, "Up to [-]%."

"Thirty percent? It's too low." The mistress hesitated: "It's better to tell the soul-returning person that this matter should be discussed in the long run."

"There is no turning back when you open the bow, so you are talking now?" Song Hongye rolled his eyes at his wife, and said firmly: "You will leave tomorrow. In case I die, I will still keep you as a seed."

The mistress' eyes flickered twice, and she said, "Try not to die."

"Don't worry, I really don't want to die." Song Hongye sighed.

That night, the mistress of the Song family was possessed by evil spirits, and committed suicide by singing a combing song.

Mr. Song personally restrained the body of his lovely wife, crying to death, not allowing others to do anything, and kept carrying her into the coffin.The sincerity and sincerity in such dramas really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.

Early the next morning, Mr. Song, who had been restored to his post, left the city on a hearse.

The infantry commander, Master Ai Xing'a, also sent him off at the gate of the city, but he didn't mention the opening of the coffin for an autopsy.Because in Ai Xing'a's opinion, if there is a crazy wife, it's better to kill her to make room for the next one.He was afraid that some problems would be detected, and he would fold his old subordinates into it.

Although Song Hongye was suspected of killing his wife, no one doubted that Mrs. Song was not dead at all.

She went out of the city without telling the truth, and it was precisely because of the high sky that the birds flew and the sea wide and the fish leaped, all the way to Tianjin, and then sailed to Shandong in an unknown private port.

Song Hongye sent his wife away, and with a slap in the face, he showed the ruthlessness of his husband, and led his cronies to hunt down the rebels in Yanjing City.However, the real "rebellious party" was cleared of suspicion after separate interrogation and released on the spot.On the contrary, many villains were caught, some were frightened, some were seeking rewards, and some simply confessed the "suspicious people" in the neighborhood for the purpose of accusing neighbors who had feuds.

According to the secret agreement between Song Hongye and Xu Dun, Xu Dun had already told his subordinates how to pass the news and get protection if he was caught, and he would never talk nonsense.As for the soul-returning people, it was a non-governmental organization that hated the Manchus and their lackeys extremely. They would definitely not compromise with the officials of the Tartars. The hatred alone made it impossible for them to kill people with swords.

So these villains became the targets of Song Hongye's surgery.

Heads fell to the ground one after another, and blood flowed like rivers.

Dorgon learned that Song Hongye killed more than a dozen criminals who were suspected of rebelling against the party in one day, and he was quite proud of his wise decision, and praised the left and right: "Look, this is a good dog."

But he didn't know that this "good dog" had sharpened its claws and slowly exposed its fangs in the dark. (To be continued.)
