The eight major Jin merchants who had been rampant in Wucheng and Shanxi for hundreds of years were wiped out by Jin Yiwei. Among them, the eight major Shanxi merchants were wiped out by the frontier army led by Wang Xun in their hometowns in Shanxi. During the period, they did encounter strong resistance. The frontier army was wiped out with thunder, and the wealth of the eight major Shanxi merchants in their hometowns was poured into the treasury. In addition, they discovered many secret weapon workshops. It is these weapon workshops that provide Tatar with a large number of weapons and armor every year.

The Datong soldiers under Wang Xun are also frontier soldiers, and they have to fight against the Tatar cavalry going south almost every few years. Whenever there is a war, there will be no deaths. In addition, Ming Dynasty is a military household system, so these Datong soldiers Among them, almost everyone had uncles and brothers who died at the hands of the Tatars, but now they know that the weapons in the hands of the Tatars were provided by these Shanxi merchants, and all of them are red-eyed. In the end, although Wang Xun confiscated a lot of money, more than half of the clansmen of the eight major Shanxi merchants died. This could be considered their retribution.

The patriarchs of the eight major Shanxi merchant families who lived in Wucheng also failed to escape. Taking advantage of their opportunity to discuss matters, Qian Ning blocked all eight of them in the back garden of Fan Yongdou's mansion, and none of them escaped.

At the beginning, Fan Yongdou was still very tough, even in the face of Jin Yiwei, who is famous for his arrogance, he still dared to stand up and argue with the opponent. After all, this is Wucheng, not the capital city, and they have already bribed the whole city. , so let alone the Jinyiwei, no matter how big the Qianglong is, it has to be coiled by them when it arrives in Wucheng.

But Fan Yongdou made a miscalculation this time, the ones who came before were all fake dragons.This time it was Zhengde, the real dragon, who came to Wucheng, and for the sake of safety, Zhengde brought thousands of troops, and as early as a few days ago, Zhang Zhen, the guard of Wucheng, had received an order to patrol outside the city, Originally, this was a normal transfer order from the border, and it did not arouse others' suspicion, so Zhang Zhen took away most of the troops in the city.Moreover, Jiang Bin was already waiting for Zhang Zhen dozens of miles away in Wucheng. As soon as the other party fell into the siege, they would immediately disarm them. As for the remaining troops in Wucheng, it was not enough to worry about.

Of course, luring the guard Zhang Zhen away was just in case.After all, although the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants bought off the civil officials in Wucheng, those officials did not necessarily have the guts to rebel. It was just for the safety of Zhengde and to be able to wipe out the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, so Zhang Zhen's troops were transferred out. to the city.

Without the defensive backing of Zhang Zhen, Fan Yongdou and the others are just a few ordinary businessmen.At most, there are some thugs and guards in the family, but no matter how powerful the thugs are.It is also impossible to compare with the army, even Jin Yiwei is stronger than them, so when Qian Ning rushed into Fan Mansion with Jin Yiwei, he did not encounter any decent resistance at all.

Zhengde had already said before that he wanted to see the legendary eight Shanxi merchants with his own eyes, so after Qian Ning caught Fan Yongdou, he immediately tied them up tightly, and then personally sent them to the mountain not far away. The top floor of the restaurant.As for the rest of the ransacking of the house, other people are naturally responsible.Although ransacking a house is a lucrative job, but in order to show off in front of Zhengde, Qian Ning simply dismissed it. Now he strives to stay by Zhengde's side all the time.

"Why did you arrest me? Don't think that you Jinyiwei can arrest people at will. I tell you that we Shanxi merchants are not easy to mess with!" As soon as he entered the private room where Zhengde was, Fan Yongdou immediately shouted desperately. When he was arrested, Qian Ning didn't reveal his identity, nor did he say the reason for arresting them, so until now Fan Yongdou doesn't know where the guards in front of him came from?What's more, he didn't know that his hometown had been copied by Wang Xun and his army.

"Oh, I really want to know, what's wrong with you Shanxi merchants?" Zhengde stopped Qian Ning and others from saluting to him when he heard Fan Yongdou's words, so as not to expose his identity, and then he said with a smile Asked, since he came to the Xuan Mansion, he has given himself the position of Chief Military Officer, and he always calls himself "the general" in front of outsiders.

"General?" Fan Yongdou was taken aback when he heard Zhengde's claim. Although Jinyiwei can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty's army, they are the emperor's pro-army, independent of the civil and military factions, but the young general in front of him can order their arrest. Jin Yiwei, this is too strange.

Fan Yongdou was able to sit in the position of the Patriarch of the Fan family because of his shrewd mind. From Zhengde's small name, he had already discovered that the identity of the young man in front of him was unusual, so he was not in a hurry when Zhengde asked questions. Instead of answering, he carefully looked at the young man in front of him, hoping to deduce the identity of the other party from some details. As long as he knew the identity of the other party, it would be easier to persuade the other party to let him go.

However, Fan Yongdou did not speak, and the Wang Dayu next to him could not hold his breath. After all, he was the youngest among the eight, and he was spoiled since he was a child. On the most embarrassing day, I was already simmering with anger, so when I heard that Zhengde was a military commander, I immediately scolded without hesitation: "You are blind, and you don't even look at who we are, tell you , even the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion should be polite when he sees us, you dare to arrest us, be careful I..."

Wang Dayu was also impatient, and had lost his usual calmness long ago, but before he could utter even worse words, he saw Qian Ning who was next to him rushing forward and slapped Wang Dayu on the face. He spat out blood from the slap, and the two big teeth on the left were also knocked out by this slap, and the whole person fell to the ground all at once, with blood all over his face.

"Hahaha~, this is the first time someone has dared to scold me like you at such a young age, but whether you scold me or not today, you are already dead, and you will be punished by Ling Chi. From today onwards, You will be under strict guard, and there will be absolutely no chance of committing suicide!" Zhengde didn't show any annoyance when he heard Wang Dayu scolding himself, but laughed loudly, after all, in his opinion, there was no need for him to die. The breath of a dying man.

"Ling... Ling Chi! You... who are you?" Wang Dengku also saw at this moment that the young general in front of him had an unusual identity. He could not only command Jin Yiwei, but also decide their crimes. Not too often.

Before Zhengde saw who was speaking clearly, the old man standing at the back suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly to Qian Ning who was next to him: "Master Qian, the younger one has already turned his back on the dark side and turned to the bright side in advance, and even cooperated with the adult to capture Fan Yongdou." When someone catches him, I hope that the adults will be merciful and spare the lives of the villain's family!"

This old man is Huang Yongfa, the last of the eight Shanxi merchants. Even though he is the last of the eight Shanxi merchants, he is the most shrewd person and the most well-informed. When Qian Ning and Jin Yiwei secretly prepared to deal with them , Huang Yongfa has already noticed it, and he also knows very clearly that if the court wants to deal with them, then they must have no good end, so Huang Yongfa decisively surrendered to the court, and is willing to take the crime and make meritorious service. Ning bribed a large amount of wealth, and only then did he get the other party's promise to save their family's lives, but now he heard that Zhengde was going to execute them Ling Chi, so Huang Yongfa suddenly jumped out and took the initiative to reveal his identity.

"Oh? Are you one of the eight Shanxi merchants who immediately and decisively surrendered to the court when the situation was not good?" Zhengde looked at the old man who jumped out seriously, and asked with great interest.However, Fan Yongdou and the others behind Huang Yongfa all stared wide-eyed, with expressions of disbelief. After all, they never thought that Huang Yongfa would betray the entire Jinshang Group.

Huang Yongfa naturally knew that Zhengde's identity was not simple. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were only three young men who could command Qian Ning, the commander of the Imperial Guards. The first one was naturally His Majesty the Emperor, and the second was His Majesty's His younger brother Zhao Wang, the third one is Jiang Bin, who is deeply favored by His Majesty, but Huang Yongfa guessed from the fact that Zhengde claimed to be a general, the person in front of him should be Jiang Bin, after all, Jiang Bin had been with His Majesty the Emperor some time ago When I came to Xuanfu, the time just happened to coincide.

"General Jiang, the name of the villain is Huang Yongfa. It is precisely because the villain does not want to fight against Fan Yong anymore and do those things that are harmful to nature, so he turned to the light and helped the court to arrest these people. I just ask the general to let our family go. Let's be young and old!" Huang Yongfa said at the end, his face was full of pleading, no matter how prosperous they were in the past, but when they faced the behemoth of the imperial court, they could only be willing to die, let alone what they had done before. As a result, just secretly funding the enemy is enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.

"Huh? What did you call me?" Zhengde was very interested when he heard Huang Yongfa call himself General Jiang, so he immediately asked.

But before Huang Yongfa could answer, Fan Yongdou next to him finally came to his senses, his whole body trembling with anger, he wanted to rush over but was held down by Jin Yiwei next to him, and finally he could only yell at Huang Yongfa: "Huang Yongfa, what a fool!" Things crawling inside and out, it’s in vain that I invited you over to discuss things, if I had known this, I should have been the first to destroy your Huang family!"

"Stop his dog's mouth!" Zhengde was mistaken for Jiang Bin by Huang Yongfa, and he felt very interesting. Now that he was interrupted by Fan Yongdou, he was naturally very dissatisfied, so he pointed at him and ordered Jin Yiwei next to him. The second time was when Qian Ning did it himself, he slapped him twice, and then tore off some rags from the other party's identity to cover Fan Yongdou's mouth. Now the others didn't dare to say anything, they just kept looking at him with hatred Staring at Huang Yongfa. (To be continued.
