In the middle of the night, there were few pedestrians on the street, there were drunken customers in front of the Qinglou wine shop, and a group of beggars begging for the eldest son and the youngest son were surrounded by the Qinglou wine shop.

Next to a wine shop on the street near the Chengguo Mansion, there were originally dozens of guards chatting and chatting, and sometimes pointing to the flower building in the distance and laughing, and no one dared to provoke them with the nearby drinkers, at most they stared at each other unpleasantly, and no one yelled, what do you see.

At some point, the guards left, coming suddenly, and leaving quietly.

On the carriage, Chang Yu frowned and looked at the different people on the street outside, especially those beggars who dragged their children to kneel next to the Qinglou restaurant and begged, and his heart was particularly uncomfortable.

"Extremely vicious, several times in two days to assassinate three times, it is simply too arrogant, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, and he actually assassinated the commander of Dongchang...... This, this is too frustrating and lawless" Wu Mengming on the other end of the carriage didn't notice Chang Yu's strange expression, and he was angry!

Chang Yu smiled and didn't speak.

"Master Changgong, what do you say about the other party, there is such a great power to be able to snare so many outlaws, where are so many outlaws......" After leaving the Chengguo Mansion, Chang Yu told him about the case, and Wu Mengming was shocked.

Here...... Chang Yu raised his hand and pointed out of the car: "The war has been going on for many years, and there are many people who take risks in order to support their families, and it is even possible that a steamed bun can make them kill people......"

Wu Mengming glanced at the strange ones on the side of the road outside the car, and sighed silently.

Chang Yu looked at him and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, you and I are both working for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, why do so many people want to kill me, why do you have no one to assassinate you in your life?" ”。

Wu Mengming smiled a little embarrassedly: "The humble position is different from the factory father, what you do is an earth-shattering thing, something that offends people, the humble position is just following behind to wipe the buttocks, who will not get along with the humble position, besides, the humble position is not like the factory father's martial arts, invincible fists and feet, no matter where you go, there are a lot of people around this number of people" said and stretched out a hand.

"Hey, you live carefully" Chang Yu nodded: "Be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, our family will have to learn from you in the future."

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and flipped through a book of medals on the case, to be precise, this is a merit book, a few days later, the military parade ceremony of the imperial court will reward the generals who participated in the war, Chang Yu, as the overseer, submitted a list, and also circled some people.

But the final decision is not him, and even Emperor Chongzhen does not have the final decision, although his wings are a little stiffer now, and he dares to call the cabinet, but it is only daring, and shouting.

There are some things that the cabinet still has the right to decide, and Emperor Chongzhen can't and can't completely empty the cabinet now.

For example, he has discussed the final reward list with Li Banghua and others three times, but he has not yet reached a complete agreement, and he is still not satisfied with the proposal submitted by the cabinet in his hand.

And most of them are because of one person.

Wu Sangui!

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt his head big, rubbed his temples and glanced at Wang Chengen, who was waiting next to him: "Do you know where Chang Yu went tonight?"

"Back to the emperor, Grandpa Chang should be in the yamen, I heard that this afternoon, Dongchang mobilized people to go out of the city to search for arrests, it seems that he is investigating some big case...... Wang Chengen bowed and replied: "Do you want to summon Grandpa Chang into the palace?"

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while: "Forget it, I guess he is also anxious now" said that he got up and walked outside the hall: "Accompany me for a walk."

Burnt out? Non-existent!

Chang Yu is now watching the excitement with relish.

Where is the excitement in the middle of the night?

Although it is late, for some people, the nightlife has just begun, and there are still many of them, so it is naturally lively when there are many people.

At the mouth of an alley on Gulou East Street directly north of the imperial city, Wu Mengming quietly got down from Chang Yu's carriage and flashed into the alley with his arched hand.

"Factory father, go back to the yamen or?" Ji Jike asked in a whisper outside the car.

Chang Yu pondered for a while, whether to go back to the palace to report the assassination to Emperor Chongzhen, although it was late at night, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen must not have slept.

If you go back to the Imperial City, you can directly turn south at the intersection and go directly to the gate of Bei'an in the Imperial City along the lower street of Gulou, if you go back to Yamen, you will continue to go east for hundreds of meters, as for Andingmen Street, turn south, all of which are prosperous neighborhoods.

When he was hesitating, he heard the noise of shouting and shouting in the distance, and it became louder and louder mixed with all kinds of drinking and scolding, Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, looked over, and saw that there were many people in front of a wine shop at the entrance of Shuntianfu Street in front of him.

"My lord, it seems that some drunkards are drunk and making trouble" Ji Jike looked around immediately and said in a low voice, Chang Yu retracted into the car with a sigh, he was not interested in this kind of excitement, since the road ahead was noisy, he had to let Lao Hu turn around and go south directly to the palace.

"It seems that there are soldiers causing trouble" Gu Ren muttered casually, but Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, being a soldier is involved, this excitement is not only to be seen, but also to be managed.

The wine shop is famous for decades, and it is very famous in Beicheng, where many literati and elegant people come here, and there are many old customers among the surrounding residents.

Recently, tens of thousands of soldiers have returned to the city, the business of the wine shop has exploded unprecedentedly, and the daily guests are full, even if the price of wine has increased several times, it is still overwhelming, especially those who have taken the reward of silver.

The soldier has three hobbies, wine and gambling.

These are also the three most popular businesses in the capital at present, and most of the customers are soldiers.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are soldiers, there will be fights.

In Yiya's house, seven or eight big-headed soldiers ordered a table of wine and food, feasting and shouting, attracting other drinkers in the store to look sideways, seeing that it was a soldier with a mixed face, some people were disdainful, and some people remembered that they endured with state-owned functions.

But after all, some people still couldn't help it and scolded loudly.

How can a soldier be good at stubble, not to mention a few bowls of wine, the king of heaven is not used to you, so there was a lot of noise in the wine shop, and the table was almost lifted.

Although the table was not lifted, the plates and bowls were smashed, and there were six or seven people at the table where the first words were scolded, and under the quarrel, someone threw a wine glass and smashed a soldier's forehead, and blood was immediately poured out.

This is terrible, the big head soldier is about to do it immediately, and the one over there is not cowardly at all, and he is about to dry the stool when he picks up the stool, and a few guys from the store hurriedly come over to persuade him: "Everyone, everyone, next to the street is the Yamen of Shuntianfu, and the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division is also nearby, everyone comes out to play, don't feel uncomfortable, you also know that there is no life in the city recently, Jinyiwei and the master of the East Factory are wandering around, and gathering people to fight is a big crime......"

The big-headed soldiers who were originally going to fight heard these words, and they suddenly calmed down, thinking of the vicious advice of the palace battalion before entering the city, thinking of the imprisoned colleagues who were whipped outside the city gate, and thinking of the murderous murderous people in the military camp of the black wolf battalion......

Seeing that the other party was so arrogant and arrogant, it was not good to think about it, so he gave up, settled the money and prepared to leave to play in another place.

But as soon as they got out of the wine shop, they were surrounded by a group of people, and in addition to the people at the table where the conflict had started, there were more than ten more vicious men, and then they came to their senses and offended people with backgrounds again.

Also, there are too many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and there are too many second-generation officials, three-sects, ninth-rate ruffians, hooligans, and evil forces.

"A bunch of ** don't know the height of the sky, and they have to leave if they cause trouble, how can there be such a cheap good thing, the big guy said right?" A young man in his twenties shouted, and the onlookers cheered: "Yes, it's not good to stay in the barracks and run to the city to make trouble, and quietly the city is being made by you, get out of here."

"That's it, originally a pot of wine was the most expensive and only five dollars of silver, but now it's good, you can't buy wine for a tael, it's not all your fault, you drank this wine is really a waste......

The spectators blamed and scolded one after another, and several big-headed soldiers bowed their heads to make amends, trying to make a trivial matter and leave without getting out, but the more these spectators talked, the more angry they became, and after a while, the crowd became excited, and some began to push.

It stands to reason that in the past few months, officers and men have won every battle, and their reputation has skyrocketed in the government and the opposition. It has to be said that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the reputation of officers and soldiers has been too bad in previous years, and of course, because what they do is indeed no different from that of bandits.

Even if you have won the battle in the past few months, the military discipline is much better than in previous years, but it is impossible to make the common people completely change their opinion of you at once, not to mention that a few of the onlookers in front of you are ordinary people.

"The master is not embarrassed for you, settle the money for Lao Tzu's wine, and then get out of the city immediately" The young man drank lightly, and the onlookers coaxed in again.

This young man was dressed extraordinarily, and although he didn't know his background, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people don't have this kind of momentum, and it is impossible for them to have so many echoes.

"Our brother is married for the wine money, but we can't get out if the city gate is not open on this big night" The soldiers saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and they just wanted to calm things and were willing to pay for it, but it was difficult for them to get out of the city.

"Then you don't care, don't think about being good if you don't get out of the city" The young man sneered, and some people shouted: "If you don't go out of the city, you will beat them out."

"Yes, beat them, kill these ** ......" someone followed and coaxed.

"Come on, we won't embarrass you" One of the young man's partners said loudly at this time: "Forgive you for not having the ability to go out of the city, so let's settle all the wine money for everyone present and you can leave, anyway, you are not short of money, right?"

The implication is that the whole audience pays for it.

"That's it, all the money is settled" The onlookers were suddenly excited, how good it is for someone to pay, and shouted one by one.

The soldiers immediately made bitter faces, a table of wine and food is less than five or six taels, how can they have so much money, even if they have, they will be bankrupt, although they have always spent money generously, but those silver are exchanged for their lives, can they spend it themselves and spend it on others.

"Do you want to have a b-face?"

At this moment, a voice was particularly abrupt, and the onlookers who were originally shouting excitedly looked at the voice in a daze.

But I saw a burly man, standing on the side of the outer street watching them sneer, followed by five or six big men, all of whom looked unkind.
