Blood from Daming

Chapter 62 Shocking
The Xuanfu Datong caravan headed by the Fan family broke out in a large-scale armed conflict with Xue Yun's Datong army. The coalition army composed of multiple caravans temporarily cannot compete with the professional soldiers of Ming Dynasty. When Xue Liu and the others killed a third, the armed members of the caravan began to surrender one after another.

Xue Liu, Tutouling, Li Baihu, and Lu Yaojin killed from the beginning to the end together, compressing the merchant's five or six hundred guards in the urn city between Heyangmen and Dongguan, and siege them. The armed guards are not good, their result is only to be massacred, and soon the armed guards began to kneel and beg for mercy. Thousands of businessmen, guards, grooms, feet, including some spectators, also knelt down under the siege of the Ming army Begging for mercy, the whole street was full of kneeling, estimated to be as many as 6000 people.

The northern merchants of the Ming Dynasty have always been famous for their grouping, and they always have demands on the Ming court. They colluded with the government, tried to use public opinion, and bribed the court to make concessions. They have been very successful for many years, but this time they met Xue Yun, a stunned young man. It was like a house built in gravel collapsed in an instant.

Fan Yongning, the shareholder of the Fan family, the shopkeeper of the Tian family, the shopkeeper of the Wang family of Datong, the shopkeeper of Fan San, the Zhang family of Datong, and the people in charge of the Qian family were all caught by the officers and soldiers and sent to Xue Yun. Fan Yongning yelled: " You dare to attack Governor Xuanda’s supplies, it seems that you don’t want to live, and you people in Datong City will know how you died when the time comes.”

When Lu Yaojin went up, he slapped Fan Yongning twice, until Fan Yongning vomited blood and lost two of his teeth. After being beaten, Fan Yongning stood there obediently and never spoke again. Xue Yun was very funny seeing Fan Yongning like this , this kind of rotten person is just beaten, born to be an embryo.

Xue Liu and Fei Bazong came in front of Xue Yun, Xue Liu told Xue Yun: Fei Bazong got a tip from the caravan, and there are a lot of prohibited military supplies in this caravan, so he decided not to let this caravan leave temporarily. , Xue Yun took a step forward and patted Boss Fei: "Okay, this time you have made meritorious service again, just say what you have to say."

Mr. Fei said in front of Datong's Zhaofu and Datong's Lizhi County: "This time, all the merchants in Datong participated in the attack on the Xuanfu at the gate of the city. Their task was to cover the caravans from the south. The big thing about East Gate."

Xue Yun exchanged a few words with Zhaofu of Datong and Lizhi County of Datong, and then ordered the officers of Datong Prefecture, Datong County, Xue Liu, Tutouling, and Li Baihu to bring their own people to inspect the supplies of the caravan on the spot, and not to give these merchants and Xuanda and Shanxi , The opportunity for the accomplices in the court to attack themselves in the future.

In about half an hour, the statistics of the prohibited materials seized from various caravans showed that the merchants surnamed Wang in Jiangnan accounted for less than one-third of the prohibited materials. The total was: 120 picks of gunpowder, 8000 jin of sulfur, and [-] jin of copper. More than [-] kilograms, weapons include [-] steel-making knives, [-] spear heads, [-] waist knives, and [-] handleless broadswords. There are [-] sets of brand-new Ming army armor, [-] of which are heavy armor. There are [-] boxes of various Chinese patent medicines for knife wounds, plague, etc., as well as a large number of silks, satins, raw silk, tea, and Jingdezhen porcelain, which are luxury items used by the nobles of Jianzhou.

Xue Yun looked at each other with the prefect of Datong Zhao, and the prefect of Li County of Datong. After a while, the prefect of Datong Zhao said: "It's a big case, a shocking case. I didn't expect Xuanda. The smuggling of Shanxi businessmen has reached the point of insanity."

Lizhi County of Datong: "These materials flowed into the hands of Jianlu, and many Ming people would die because of these weapons. Even though it is extremely difficult, these people must be brought to justice and their homes will be destroyed."

Fan Yongning of the Fan family, shopkeepers of the Tian family, shopkeepers of the Wang family of Datong, shopkeeper Fan San, Zhang family of Datong, and the Qian family all showed resentment. Xue Yun said to everyone: "The Ming Dynasty has never seen such a big case in history." , but this is not an isolated case that must be dug deep, I, Xue, is determined to make this case a solid case, regardless of life and death, and you are willing to help me."

Zhao Zhifu of Datong, Li Zhixian of Datong, Tu Touling, Li Baihu and others looked stern but said firmly: "I am willing to serve the emperor."

Xue Yun: "Everyone will be taken into custody. The merchants in Datong who participated in this case ransacked their homes immediately. I troubled Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li to write the memorial, and the head leader arranged for a hundred thousand urgent documents to be issued."

Xue Yun walked towards Datong guard Liang Ningguo who was standing at the side. After a long time, Liang Ningguo said, "I hope the Imperial Envoy understands my difficulties."

Xue Yun: "It is inevitable for me to be an official and take bribes, but I, Xue, must guard the bottom line of the country. In the future, any delusion will do things under my nose to collude with foreign sellers for glory, I, Xue Yun." He will never be spared, you are the court's frontier defender, if you don't stick to your position, Ming Dynasty will be an undefended country, the consequences can be imagined."

Liang Ningguo said generously: "Master Xue, I really don't know that these merchants are smuggling to the point of open flames. They regard the imperial court as nothing, and think that there is a letter from the superior to open the net. Don't worry, Master Xue. From now on, Liang will not dare to compare himself to a loyal minister and a good general." , but I have also been favored by the Ming Dynasty for many years. My tears have been shed in this northern country for many years, and the rest is to shed my blood to make up for the pain caused by conniving these profiteers to the people of the court." Xue Yun held tightly He took Liang Ningguo's hand and didn't speak.

When Xue Yun returned to the General Military Mansion, Miss Yu also came. Xue Yun greeted Miss Yu with a smile, but Miss Yu looked very angry. Xue Yun knew that the consequences of a woman's anger must be serious. Miss Yu He pouted and said, "Now I know who you are."

Xue Yun understood something in his heart, but he pretended to be confused and said, "Don't you know that I am Xue Yun?"

Miss Yu was angry: "You dead man, you are still pretending, but you are making fun of me like a fool, aren't you very happy." As she said, she started to pull Xue Yun's ear.

Xue Yun grabbed Miss Yu by the way, and said, "Say clearly what you have to say. Are you going to wrong me for beating someone for no reason?" His hands kept moving, but this beautiful woman's hands Not as good as her physical feeling, so I had to touch it again.

"What are you doing?" Miss Yu suddenly withdrew her hand as if she had been stung by a hedgehog, her face was as red as the sunset in the sky, and Miss Yu stomped her feet into the flower hall in the backyard.

Xue Yun had no choice but to follow. Miss Yu was cold for a long time before asking: "Aren't you the idiot who wants to be engaged to me? You pretend you don't know anything. Do you have a conscience?"

Xue Yun started to pretend to be crazy and said: "I really don't know, but I vaguely thought it was you, but whether it will work or not depends on your intentions, besides, we are not engaged."

Miss Yu said angrily: "How did Miss Ben take a fancy to you? This matter is settled like this."

Xue Yun looked at Miss Yu for a long time before speaking: "Don't you want to hear my thoughts?"

Miss Yu said in amazement: "I agree, what else do you have in mind?"

Xue Yun: "Sit down and wait for you to understand what kind of person I am before you decide whether you will be engaged to me." Miss Yu finally did not speak and waited for Xue Yun to speak.

Xue Yun said: "My mother passed away when I was young, and I grew up with my grandfather and two old servants. First of all, I already have two concubines and several concubines. It's unfair to be engaged to you."

Miss Yu was furious: "You have so many shameless women at such a young age, wouldn't your room be full if you were older?"

Xue Yun didn't say anything more. His two lifetimes made him understand that sometimes when he should give up, he should learn to give up. Xue Yun has his own pursuit, and he will not give up the whole forest for just one tree. Miss Yu said very angrily. Left the General Military Mansion.

In the midsummer of the fourth year of Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty held a rare court meeting. Accompanied by Eunuch Wei, the emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, sat on the dragon chair that he disliked very much.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, who had always been arrogant, were finally a little scared today for fear of implicating themselves. Emperor Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao loudly reprimanded the officials: "My court has become so corrupt and desolate, what do you have to say?"

The chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, dared not answer. Originally, the battle with Wei Zhongxian was fierce and the outcome was undecided. Now, once this matter comes out, the civil servants will go to the next time. In the future, the eunuch forces will be even more rampant.
