Blood from Daming

Chapter 760
Emperor Chongzhen felt that Wei Zhongxian was not dead, so he felt bored and panicked all of a sudden, and he recovered after a long time. This time, the eunuchs in the idle palace around Taiyechi discovered the treasure thief who entered the palace. It was a great achievement, but These were Wei Zhongxian's former subordinates. Thinking that Wei Zhongxian might still be alive, Emperor Chongzhen erased the idea that he had just sprouted up to use these eunuchs.

Emperor Chongzhen suspected that there was still Wei Zhongxian's treasure in the palace. After dawn, he ordered a strict search of the treasure in the whole palace. The jewelry still has its owner, but the owner dared not claim it, and some eunuchs were cheated, and the gold and silver were confiscated. In the end, 50 million taels of silver fell into the pocket of Emperor Chongzhen.

Even the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Pavilion of Yuhua, where Xue Yun stole treasures, were found, especially the twelve large empty boxes in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Everyone suspected that jewels had been contained there, but we dare not talk nonsense about such things. , the eunuchs in power kept it secret, otherwise they would tell the emperor that they found twelve large empty boxes, and the emperor might suspect that everyone had embezzled them.

A total of more than 130 taels of silver and 650 taels of gold were taken out from Taiye Pool. Emperor Chongzhen was a little suspicious about the small amount of gold taken out. Wang Chengen explained to Emperor Chongzhen that Taiye Pool did not find much As for the traces of movement, Lord Luo, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, took people to check. There were only traces of the thieves entering and exiting a few times. It is estimated that a small part of the gold has been taken away, so it seems that the gold is very little.

Emperor Chongzhen explained Wang Chengen's explanation, but he hated the two treasure thieves deeply, and ordered the whole country to arrest the thieves. The Emperor Chongzhen was frightened, but got more than 100 million taels of silver. However, news came back one after another from Jin Yiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Shuntian Mansion who were chasing Jianlu. Except for the loss of dozens of officers and officers who were chasing after them, they still failed to catch the five who escaped from the palace.

After finally losing the traces of the three Jianlu and the two treasure thieves, most of Jin Yiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Shuntian Mansion withdrew back to the capital. Gang and Qi Tianyu, Miaoshou Stealing Fragrance, among them, Qi Tianyu, Miaoshou Stealing Fragrance, disappeared all the way for no reason.

Li Chunmao, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, couldn't bear such an important matter, so he immediately sent a memorial to the emperor, asking the emperor to issue an order to find Qi Tianyu and his party. The officers and soldiers began to search for the whereabouts of more than 20 people led by Qi Tianyu, a master thief.

In fact, most people suspect that something happened to Qi Tianyu and his party because of the five masters, but after the five martial arts masters who escaped from the palace killed someone, it is necessary to hide the bodies of more than 20 people tightly Yes, this doesn't conform to the general logic. If the place where more than 20 people died like Qi Tianyu is sensitive, the other party may really hide the bodies of more than 20 people.

Jin Yiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, Shuntian Mansion and the Cabinet, and six ministries, including the Emperor Chongzhen and the people in the capital, all suspect that there are people behind the two treasure thieves, and there are still people behind them. One did not run away, and there were very powerful dark forces near the capital of Beijing, which made Emperor Chongzhen restless, and the officials and people in the capital were also anxious, so rumors spread in the capital that Wei Zhongxian was preparing to counterattack and reckon.

After the incident of assassins in the Forbidden City, the value of martial arts people in the Ming Dynasty doubled, and they were hired by good officials and gentry of the court to serve as bodyguards. However, Qi Tianyu, who was a master at stealing fragrance, was never found again, and was forgotten by people over time, and became a suspenseful case between the imperial court and martial arts.

But where did the Miaoshoushouxiang Qi Tianyu go? It turns out that the Miaoshoushouxiangqiqi Tianyu has always suspected that the Xue family has something shady, but the boss Zhuge Dugu Qingyun forbids everyone to touch the Xue's family, so Qi Tianyu didn't deliberately look for the Xue's family. It's troublesome, but Qi Tianyu has a crush on Yan Sanniang, and doesn't have any good feelings for the Xue family.

In fact, Qi Tianyu is not a crush. He once confessed to Yan Sanniang, because Qi Tianyu is a good character and is particularly wretched, and Yan Sanniang scolded him. The last of the four famous arresters was the last one, so when Yan Sanniang scolded him, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Yan Sanniang married Xue Yun, the third young master of the Xue family. Qi Tianyu hated the Xue family. Qi Tianyu couldn't offend Yan Sanniang. It's not that Qi Tianyu's Shuntian Mansion can afford to provoke him, so he has to keep his eyes open and wait for the Xue family to have problems.

After the accident in the Forbidden City, the assassins fled to the inner city, and then fled from the Beijing city. Nearly a thousand people from Jinyiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Shuntianfu pursued them, all chasing after the traces of those five people, but Qi Tianyu thought in the opposite direction, thinking that Those two treasure thieves didn't kill people very much, so they must be natives of Daming.

The two treasure thieves, Qi Tianyu, have seen it from a distance. That Qinggong is a first-class master. Qi Tianyu, who is proud of his Qinggong, is also ashamed of himself. Qi Tianyu, who is a master of martial arts in Beijing, thinks of two things, that is The legendary Xue Polu and the manager of Xuezhuang Xue Si, but unfortunately Xue Polu is dead, who is the other person? Qi Tianyu's head flashed, and he thought of another master Xue Yun. Could it be that Xue Yun returned to Beijing? up.

Qi Tianyu was very excited when he thought of this, knowing that with Jin Yiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, Shuntianfu and other people, he would not be able to drink soup if he chased him, so he might as well go to the north of Xuezhuang to set up an ambush. If it was Xue Yun and Xue Si, it would be a great achievement This event not only eradicated Xue Yun as an enemy, but also made Yan Sanniang feel the feeling of being in distress. When the time comes to pity Yan Sanniang, maybe it will be a matter of course.

It's a pity that Qi Tianyu guessed other people's secrets, but failed to guess his own result; those poisonous arrows and poisonous nets prepared by Qi Tianyu were a piece of cake in front of Xue Yun and Qi Tianyuan, and the worst thing for Qi Tianyu was to enter the twenty miles of Xuezhuang I found out, and then I was surrounded by troops led by Xue Si and Wang Erwa.

It was rumored in the capital that there were assassins in the Forbidden City. Ms. Chen, Xue Si, Wang Erwa and others who knew the inside story thought it was Xue Yun and Qi Tianyuan. Everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot. [-]. Wang Erwa sneaked out of Xue Zhuang with his confidants, Qi Tianyu was unlucky enough to remind him, his every move was under the supervision of Xue Si and Wang Erwa.

Soon Xue Yun and Qi Tianyuan came around from the north, Qi Tianyu saw two black shadows about to enter the ambush circle, he was shaking with excitement, just when he was about to make a move, he heard a whistle from a distance, followed by arrows overwhelming the sky, Of Qi Tianyu's twenty or so subordinates, a dozen were killed or injured immediately.

Just when Qi Tianyu and others were evading and fleeing, nearly 200 people held bows and arrows and pressed on them. The rain of arrows did not stop at all. It was not the officials of Shuntian Prefecture who shouted and misunderstood. They believed that such a powerful team must be the elite officers and soldiers of the imperial court. , some misunderstanding must have occurred.

When Xue Yun and Qi Tianyuan arrived, only six or seven of Qi Tianyu's twenty or so people were able to vent their anger, and among them was Qi Tianyu who was a master at stealing fragrance. Qi Tianyu, who had three arrows in his body, said to Xue Yun: "Are you Xue Yun."

Xue Yun turned ugly when he heard this, and said to Xue Si and Wang Erwa: "Clean up this place, don't leave a feathered arrow or a drop of blood."

Afterwards, Xue Si and Wang Erwa cleaned up the battlefield, and all traces were removed, even the bloody soil was transported away. Later, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment checked here and felt that the sound from this place was unnatural, but I couldn't find any evidence. Xuezhuang, which is twenty miles to the south, was not included in the key investigation content.

When more than 20 people including Miaoshou Qi Tianyu and more than [-] people were escorted to Xuezhuang's prison, Qi Tianyu was still regretting that he was greedy for meritorious deeds and did not ventilate with Nantian Shenjian Xiu Wangang who went out of the city together. He was also worried that no one would come to Xuezhuang to rescue him. Realized that he was dead.

Xue Yun said to Xue Si and Wang Erwa: "Deal with these people and don't leave a trace."

It was only then that Qi Tianyu realized that he was planning to delay time, and it was impossible to use his stealthy skills to get out of trouble, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Xue, the villain and Sanjie Yan are friends and colleagues, and the villain is willing to work for the general. I am willing to swear allegiance to you, General Xue.”

Xue Yun knew that Qi Tianyu and Yan Sanniang would not deal with each other. In fact, Yan Sanniang and Qi Tianyu had a good relationship. How could Xue Yun risk letting Qi Tianyu leave with such a big secret: "You can go to the underworld and tell the king of hell."

Qi Tianyu was so frightened that he yelled for mercy, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, Xue Yun said: "Do it."

As soon as Wang Erwa arrived, she cut off Qi Tianyu's neck, and Qi Tianyu's head rolled on the ground. Wang Erwa looked at it hesitantly and asked, "Master, how can we not leave any traces."

Xue Yun said: "The meat is picked and fed to pigs and dogs, and the bones are crushed to ashes and fed to fish. In short, there can be no trace of these people in Xuezhuang."

After Xue Yun finished speaking, he left the prison and returned to Xiao Xuezhuang. Xue Si and Wang Erwa took the flesh and internal organs of more than 20 corpses with their confidantes, and then boiled the bones of the dead, and then smashed them into powder for later use. The weapon metal under it was re-melted, and not a single dead object was left behind.

After feeding the pigs, dogs and fish with human flesh and human bone meal, there is no trace of more than 20 people from Qi Tianyu. Later, officials from the imperial court came to Xuezhuang to check, and spies sneaked in to investigate, because the last ones were Wang Erwa's soldiers However, very few people know about Xue Zhuang, and there is no clue about Qi Tianyu's disappearance at all, so there is no doubt about Xue Zhuang. It's just that Xue Zhuang's pig fish was particularly fat in the early years of Chongzhen, and Xue Zhuang's The farmer was very happy, but Xue Si didn't dare to send any pigs and fish that had eaten human flesh and bone meal into Xiao Xuezhuang.
