Chapter 224: Ji Guang is arrested
"No!" Seeing that Yang Chendong saw through his intentions at a glance, Bai Peng hurriedly showed a flattering smile and said, "We don't want to go against the imperial court, this move is really too ruthless." Dong Shuai, the leader of the merchants, should fight them on our behalf. ”
Hearing that he had become a merchant leader, a title he didn't know, Yang Chendong suddenly laughed and said, "Leader? Hehe, sixth brother-in-law, don't tease. I am also a loyal and courageous prince of the Ming Emperor, and I am also a member of the ministers of the imperial court, how can I go to them for trouble? ”
"Nope! Not the same. Dongshuai, who doesn't know that Warat's retreat is all your credit, but now? It's just a duke, and you will be idle at home, which is obviously unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and we are all crying out for Dongshuai to be unfair? We..."
The teacup suddenly slammed down on the table, "That's enough!" Yang Chendong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Sixth brother-in-law, my father-in-law sees that you are my brother-in-law, so I will give you face to listen to you finish talking about this, but there are some things that can not be discussed in private." Okay, my husband is in trouble, please go back. ”
Yang Chendong made a send-off appearance, and then without waiting for Bai Peng to say something, he got up and walked towards the bedroom in the backyard. The thing is obvious, Bai Peng was taken advantage of, and he wanted to ask himself to go out of the mountain to speak for the businessman and stand on the platform. If they win, naturally the businessmen will have benefits to take, and even if they lose, the unlucky ones will only be those who resist, and those people are still fine. I really can't imagine how Bai Peng would be willing to do such a thing.
Yang Chendong suddenly left the table, and Bai Peng was bitter. Hu Mang, who was standing on the side, stretched out his hand and said politely, "Boss Bai, please." ”
Bai Peng left a little disappointed. Soon after he returned to Beijing, there was gossip that the newly crowned loyal prince Yang Chendong was also afraid of the imperial court, just like Zhang Fu, who had been martyred as a British duke before, and had become timid and afraid. Even if someone went to Yangjiazhuang and wanted to give an explanation about the collection of commercial taxes by the imperial court, he didn't dare to stand out or fight in the refusal.
Even Yang Chendong, who seemed to have a lot of silver, recognized the practice of the imperial court, and for a while, other merchants had nothing to worry about, and they had to consider paying official taxes.
As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread to the palace. After Jin Ying got the report of the Jinyi secret agent, he was immediately overjoyed. "Haha, this loyal and courageous man, but his words count, he promised me before, and he can also fulfill his promise very well, but in this way, his status in the eyes of businessmen is greatly reduced. In this way, if there is a chance to clean up this person, there must not be too many people to speak for him. ”
While Jin Ying was overjoyed, he stretched out his hand and beckoned a cronie eunuch and said, "Go, tell Commander Lu Gui that there are some things that can be closed." ”
......
A dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Beijing.
Half-human weeds grow all around, and although the weather is getting colder, these weeds have not yet withered, showing their powerful life ability.
Deserted temples, weeds, and unknown birds in the sky are chirping twice from time to time. It feels so desolate that it should be uninhabited. But three miles away from the ruined temple, there were more than 100 black-clothed people gathered.
They were almost the same height, and there was an indifferent and cold light in their eyes, like a human-shaped machine, and there was not the slightest trace of emotion.
They are the fans of Dongchang.
Because its address is located on the north side of Dong'anmen (now Dongchang Hutong in the north of Wangfujing Street), it was named Dongchang. The function of the East Factory is to "visit and conspire against the evil and evil, etc., and equalize the power with Jinyiwei"
Relatively speaking, the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei does not belong to each other, but because the latter was established by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and those who are not strong cannot enter, their overall quality is higher than that of Jinyiwei, and over time, there is a feeling of being above Jinyiwei.
Of course, the East Factory cannot order Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei cannot order the East Factory. They each have their own responsibilities and do different things that belong to them. And this time there were suddenly hundreds of Dongchang fans, such a big formation was just to besiege a ruined temple, so it can be seen that there should be any important people here.
Hundreds of Dongchang fans dressed in black walked forward with light steps, trying to make a little movement in the process of not entering. But after all, there are too many people, and it is inevitable that so many people will not be able to spread the slightest abnormality.
For example, one of them accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and there was a slight clicking sound.
As soon as the sound came out, the other fans nearby looked at it. Then the leader shook his head slightly, although the voice was small, but for the target he was going to encircle and suppress today, it was already tantamount to exposure.
"Let's go up together, surround this place, and don't let him run away." After the leader shouted softly, the hundreds of fans of Dongchang immediately sped up their foot speed, forming a huge encirclement to surround the small temple.
The hundred black-clothed men stopped almost at the same time, staring at the small temple in front of them without the slightest movement, speechless for a long time, and did not move for a long time.
This station is enough that the time for a pillar of incense has passed, and the atmosphere is depressed to the extreme, and the leader raised his hand, and all the black-clothed people had a small strong crossbow in their hands, aiming at the only exit of the small temple.
"Master Ji, you have been surrounded, I know you have some means, but can you face a hundred of us alone? If you don't come out, then we'll have to set fire to the temple. The leader stared directly at the door of the small temple, and in the process, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes more.
The voice came out, and in front of the silent little temple, it was so clear and clear. And as this voice came out, a footstep suddenly came from the originally quiet small temple, "Hahaha, it must be that Chen Guan can't stand up and confesses his business, otherwise, you can't find here." ”
The laughter was hearty, and it was heard far away in an instant. When he was heard by the black-clothed leader, that is, the Dongshi Punishment Hundred Households, his face was also filled with a smile. Chen Guan really didn't deceive people, Ji Guang is really here.
Ji Guang, the former commander of Jinyiwei, is the position of Sipin, and he is also the confidant of Wang Zhen's henchmen.
Since Wang Zhen was killed in front of Tumu Fort, Ji Guang has disappeared, along with the silver taels and wealth that Wang Zhen has used various means to obtain over the years.
It's just that Ji Guang has disappeared, and Jin Ying, who has regained power, doesn't care much. But even the treasure is gone, and he will not be willing to do so under any circumstances. It's the same at any time, if you want to succeed, you first need to have money, and only when the people who follow you get benefits, people will gather more and more.
Ji Guang disappeared with those treasures, so they had nothing to do with each other, and no one would believe it. In this way, if you find Ji Guang, you may find the burial place of those treasures.
For this matter, Jin Ying was very concerned, and even casually found a reason to take down the eunuch Chen Guan, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
Chen Guan is also one of Wang Zhen's henchmen, and he is also in charge of the big killer weapon of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he has been in the limelight for a while. Even when I saw Jin Ying, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, it was rare to look at it squarely.
But all this ended because Yingzong was defeated and Wang Zhen was killed. Jin Ying made the right choice at the first time and took refuge in Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servant, and it didn't take long for the king to ascend the throne, Jin Ying was in power, and from the hands of Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of Daizong, obtained the mission of renovating the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, as well as the entire eunuch group.
Once the power comes, everyone surrenders. Chen Guan is the one whose attitude changes very quickly, and he chose to be loyal to Jin Ying at the first time. It did make him disappear from the list of eunuchs who were cleaned up in the first wave.
But as Daizong's position became more and more stable, Jin Ying's power also increased day by day. Both sides were finally arrested by Jin Ying.
Chen Guan, who was arrested, really couldn't understand why he hadn't been let go of all his wealth and just left a small courtyard to live in Jingshi? But it wasn't until he entered Jinyiwei's edict that he knew that he was affected because Jin Ying wanted to catch Ji Guang, but there was no clue that he was brought here.
When he entered the edict on the first day of junior high school, Chen Guan also showed a trace of toughness. He really didn't say anything, this is his cleverness, he thinks that once he says something, he is afraid that his death is coming.
But everything changed when Kim Young personally met him in prison.
Jin Ying promised that as long as Chen Guan revealed Ji Guang's hiding place, and when he succeeded in finding the wealth left by Wang Zhen, he would reinstate him and continue to serve as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
Not only can he live, but he can also be high and powerful again, all of which cannot be seriously thought about by Chen Guan. And after a fierce psychological struggle, he finally told the fact that Ji Guang might hide in the broken temple in the suburbs, which was originally a secret contact point, which was also Wang Zhen's cleverness at the beginning, the cunning rabbit three holes, Wang Zhen was also worried that he would be broken one day, and when he was going to be dealt with, he would have a place to hide.
The small temple looks dilapidated on the outside, but it has actually been renovated underground, not only for Tibetans, but also for a lot of food, which can ensure that there will be no worries about survival for a month or even longer.
After getting the news, there was this Dongchang operation, and sure enough, Ji Guang, the commander of the former Jinyiwei, was found here.
