Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 45 Chasing and Killing (2)

The afternoon sun was scorching hot. Although there were guards in brocade clothes holding umbrellas, two court ladies stood behind Zhu Yousong holding barrier fans. Zhu Yousong felt a little tired sitting on the high pier, because from the time he left the palace to the present, he felt a little tired. After a long time, Ma Shiying and his son, the leader of the rebellious party, were not captured, but Zhao Zhilong and Ruan Dacheng, his henchmen, were beheaded.

But the casualties are not small. If women, children, old and young are counted, the number of casualties is roughly estimated to be no less than 1000 people. It was the first time for Zhu Yousong to experience it personally, but he knew better that if Ma Shiying and his son were allowed to escape, the city of Nanjing might not be in his hands, and a large-scale civil war would inevitably be triggered, and the number of casualties would increase geometrically .

Therefore, Zhu Yousong made up his mind that Ma Shiying and his son wanted to see people alive and dead bodies, and vowed not to return to the palace if they failed to achieve their goals.This is also the reason why he appeared on the scene in person today, instead of dealing with this kind of matter like other emperors, he just listened to the report in the palace and let the courtiers do it.

Zhu Yousong calmed himself down. Ma Shiying was too cunning to slip under the noses of so many imperial guards. Since Lu Jiude commanded Jinyiwei to enforce martial law for more than ten miles around these streets, if someone ran away If you go out, there will definitely be rewards. There is no news now, which shows that Ma Shiying and his son must still be surrounded by them.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong ordered decisively: "These two guys must not have run far. Today, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must be caught. If they can't see their heads, I want yours!"

After Lu Jiude, Li Guofu, Zheng Hongkui, and Zu Hai got the order, they immediately formed thirty action teams, each with 100 people. Of course, the hundred guards in charge of guards and the guards in charge of martial law in this area could not move. Lu Jiude , Li Guofu, Zheng Hongkui and Zu Hai were all dispatched. Thirty teams with a total of 3000 people launched a dragnet search in this area, entering door by door and searching door to door.

In addition, hundreds of factory fans headed by Li Quan are responsible for collecting and delivering news in a timely manner. Wherever Ma Shiying and his son are found, they will immediately gather heavy troops to surround them...

Seeing that Ma Shiying was under attack, he turned his horse into an alley, and the horse's hooves stepped on the hard ground, making a monotonous and harsh sound.

After running for a while, Ma Shiying turned around and did not find the pursuers, but he found that he was the only commander left beside him. At this moment, he felt out of breath and was dripping with sweat. If he went to Jinyiwei, he would have to be caught without a fight.

Ma Shiying whimpered and whipped his horse, but he stopped running, because this area was near his governor's mansion, and he was very familiar with it. He knew this alley, and he couldn't run more than one mile along it. The Qianmen Street of the Governor's Mansion, that is to say, if he ran down without anyone chasing him, he would run in front of Zhu Yousong. Wouldn't it be a trap for himself?
At this time, there was another chaotic sound of horseshoes not far behind, and it was obvious that the pursuers were following up.

Unable to run forward or backward, he looked up and saw a family on the left side of the alley. The courtyard wall was not too high. If he didn't want to be discovered, he had to climb over the wall and enter before the pursuers arrived.

After making up his mind, he jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's butt. The horse ran forward without an owner, and soon disappeared. Ma Shiying planned to climb over the wall.

But after turning over twice, he failed to turn over, and even fell a butt pier. Ma Shiying felt that he was really old. Ten years ago, this wall would not have troubled him, but this year he is fifty-four In addition, with the armor all over his body, his legs and feet are far less agile than the young man. He can fight for a while in the army on horseback, but he is helpless in the face of a wall that is more than two feet high.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and Ma Shiying felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. Could it be that the sky is going to kill me, Ma Shiying?

Just at this moment, a person jumped down from nowhere behind him, and this person twisted his body and jumped up the big wall to stretch out an arm, "Father, come up quickly!"

Ma Shiying appeared on the top of the wall, Ma Shiying was overjoyed, stepping forward and twisting his body to jump up, Ma Luan was holding his hand and pulling Ma Shiying up the big wall lightly.

At this time, a team of Jin Yiwei came on horseback.

Ma Luan quickly jumped down with his legs fluttering. Ma Shiying saw that he was a little taller inside, but he didn't care too much, fearing that he would be caught and jumped down too.

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes stepping over the wall, from near to far, like a torrential rain.

Although it was not discovered by the knights of the Jinyiwei outside, it was discovered by the owner of the house.

Ma Luan Kung Fu jumped down from the wall with little movement, but Ma Shiying was not. Although he was picked up by his son, his weight of nearly [-] catties was still like a pounding. Fortunately, his son caught him inside. It didn't fall, but it made a lot of noise.

This house is not as rich as a big family. It is a courtyard house, but it is not a poor family, but a residence of an individual merchant.The old couple guarded an unmarried son who owned a shop on the street, but today the Jinyi Guards were under strict arrest, and their shop had to be closed. The family of three hid at home, closed the door, and feared disaster from the sky, but they did not expect to be afraid of God. There is a ghost, and Ma Shiying and his son just entered their house.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from the room, and then the door opened, and an old man over seventy years old with beard and hair like frost came out. He heard a splash outside and came out to check what happened. He was startled by the man standing in his yard covered in blood.

"You..." The old man wanted to say who you are and what you are going to do, but before he finished speaking, Ma Luan was afraid of him shouting, so he came to him like a gust of wind. With a flash of cold light, the old man's neck was cut open, and blood Cyclonus, the poor old man didn't even have a chance to scream, so he slowly leaned against the wall and fell at the door of the house, the wall was stained red with blood.

"Old man..." the old woman in the room only said one sentence, and Ma Shiying, who snatched the door, strangled her neck, straightened her body within a short time, and fell to the ground.

At this time, the back window of the opposite room rang, "Killed, killed..." A minor figure ran towards the gate crying, Ma Luan raised his arm, and the knife in his hand flew out.

A cold light hit the back of the figure impartially, the sharp blade penetrated from the back, and a blood blade more than half a foot long protruded from the front, and the thin body screamed and fell in the pool of blood.

Ma Luan jumped in front of the corpse, reached out to take out the knife, and wiped the blood from the knife on the corpse. So far, the three members of the family died tragically at the hands of the two within 2 minutes.

The two hurriedly disposed of the three concrete corpses, and then hid in the house.

At this time, I heard the sound of running outside the wall. Hearing this movement, there must be at least a hundred people coming this way. No need to ask, it must be the royal guards of the imperial court who are chasing them. The two have raised their vigilance.

At this time, someone shouted from outside the wall: "Brothers, check the intersections and search from house to house. The factory owner has an order to dig three feet to find out the rebels. If the Ma family and his son run away, none of us will live." No!"

"Don't worry boss, the Ma family father and son will definitely not be able to escape. The emperor said that the two thieves must still be surrounded by us if they haven't escaped. Let's search from the back one by one..."

Ma Luan gritted his teeth and stood up, "Father, if they search like this, we will be exposed before dark, so why not let you go out and fight them!"
