Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion has not ridden a horse for many years, and after only three or four miles, he has been grinding so much that the inner thigh hurts, and he is afraid that he will break the tender skin. But thinking that as long as the crime of Lin Lian's massacre of civilians was confirmed, it would be enough for Gu Wuchen to fall and the crisis he was facing would naturally be solved, Wang Xueshan was still very excited when he dismounted in front of Qincheng's uncle's mansion.

Jiangning Mansion is located in Jiangdong County, and the civil affairs are not controlled by the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy, and the military is not only not controlled by the Jiangdong Governor's Office, but the Jiangdong Governor's Mansion is also subject to the Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion in wartime or in case of civil unrest.

The rest of the six Shangshu of Jiangning are all high-power mausoleum guards, but the Shangshu of the Jiangning Military Department is also the general of the Jiangning garrison, and he is in power, and he is the real second grade, and he is the head of the Jiangning ministers.

It's just that the situation of Li Zhuo, the governor of Eastern Fujian, coming to Jiangning to take over has become clear, and Qin Chengbo, who has replaced He Yuejing, the former auxiliary general who died in the war, as the secretary of the Jiangning military department and the general of the Jiangning garrison in the past three years, has not tossed for a few days, even if it is to loot the silver, because thinking that it is Li Zhuo, a big and meritorious figure, to take over this stall, Qin Chengbo has restrained himself a little, and naturally he will not compete with others for power and power, and complain more, so although he is the boss in Jiangning City, he is the most low-key at this time.

There are four or five acres of stone paving in front of the house where Qin Chengbo lives in Jiangning Military Department, like a school field, sparsely planted with several rows of golden cinnamon, the blue brick wall covered with green eaves tile is powdered snow-white, the stone steps are like a platform, three vermilion gates under the eaves, only the corner door next to the stone steps is opened for people to enter and exit, the horse pillars on both sides of the Zhu door, the dismounted horse pier is densely arranged in a row, there are as many as thirty or forty, and the end is extraordinary.

Wrapping silver bills and handing over name cards to the Qinfu doorman, Wang Xueshan and Chen Zhihe waited in the foyer of the front yard to report. After a while, he saw Qin Chengbo greet him in person, Wang Xueshan couldn't stand such courtesy, and hurriedly walked out of the hall, saluted Qin Chengbo, and said, "Lord Qin, how dare you do this?" Without saying any more, he saw Gu Wuchen walking out after Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan's face sank, his triangular eyes stared at Gu Wuchen in the dim twilight, and said sharply, "Lord Gu, the wicked person is here to sue first!" Wang Xueshan is not afraid that Gu Wuchen will get his handle from Zhao Qinmin to sue Qin Chengbo, unless he plots rebellion and rebellion, otherwise his affairs will not be under Qinchengbo's control, thinking that Gu Wuchen will appear in the Qin Mansion first, and it is bound to be for Lin Jian to slaughter hundreds of civilians.

Wang Xueshan sneered in his heart, wanting to see how Gu Wuchen washed his crazy and bold doorman.

Gu Wuchen smiled and said: "Lord Wang is really strange, when we meet, I will accuse the wicked person of suing first, I will be the emperor of the imperial history, if the wicked person sues first, I will also hand over the complaint to the imperial review, will I bother Lord Qin for hard work?" ”

"Lord Qin, Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng of our company, led the crowd to the mouth of the Jinchuan River to arrest the key criminals, and the guards of Dongyang Juzi and Jiangdao Prison Lin refused to be controlled by our company, openly led the soldiers, organized the mob to fight with our soldiers, and dared to slaughter civilians, five or six hundred corpses, which was the same as a rebellion, please send troops to investigate the chaos." Wang Xueshan made a strong statement and asked Qin Chengbo to send troops to quell the chaos.

"Lord Wang said that it was funny, Captain Chen led Captain Dongcheng to the Jinchuan River Estuary to arrest the important criminals, who is arrested and where are the arrest documents? Lord Wang falsely accused our man Lin Jian of leading the prison guards, organizing a mob to resist arrest, fighting with the Dongcheng Captain's soldiers, and slaughtering five or six hundred civilians, so he asked how there were five or six hundred civilians for slaughter at the mouth of the Jinchuan River? Let me ask again, how many casualties were there among the soldiers of Dongcheng? Gu Wuchen asked coldly.

"Gu Wuchen, what's the use of your clever words?" Wang Xueshan sneered, he knew that there were many loopholes in the documents of Jiangning Mansion, but no matter how big the loopholes were, they couldn't match Lin Lian's audacity to massacre civilians, and he was not afraid to say something more serious, and said to Qin Chengbo, "I implore Lord Qin to send troops to investigate the chaos as soon as possible, if the troops are slow, so that Lin Lian's thieves can abscond after killing people, this crime is not something that Lord Qin and I can bear." According to the responsibility of the Inspectorate to supervise, if Master Gu feels in doubt, he can go to the supervision ...... together"

"Of course I'm going." Gu Wuchen said coldly.

Qin Chengbo also knew that it was not a trivial matter for five or six hundred civilians to be slaughtered in the suburbs of Jiangning for no reason, so he immediately ordered the Jiangning Water Battalion to seal the waterway at the mouth of the river, and then transferred troops to gather at Donghuamen, intending to personally go to the estuary or prison island to find out today's incident, and sent people to Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy and Jiangdong Admiral's Mansion to inform him of the matter. The Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy and the Jiangdong admiral only sent two subordinates to make a move, and they refused to come forward. They thought to themselves that even if Gu Wuchen brought down Wang Xueshan's counterattack, the Chu Party would send other powerful figures to Jiangning, and they didn't want to rush into this pool of troubled waters.

At Donghuamen, Qin Chengbo mobilized two battalions of elite soldiers who had returned to the city from Dongcheng and more than a dozen street scoundrels who had escaped and went to the mouth of the river together with Wang Xueshan, Zhang Wendeng, Zhang Yubo, Chen Zhi and other officials of the Jiangning Mansion Yamen.

Qin Chengbo was really powerful in Jiangning, and he was also worried that Jiangdao Prison Lin Jian was really as bold and reckless as Wang Xueshan said, in addition to the elite of the two battalions, Qin Chengbo brought more than 300 horsemen to accompany him. Although Qin Chengbo usually supported them with imperial food and military salaries, they were actually Qin Chengbo's private soldiers.

Gu Wuchen saw all this in his eyes and remained silent, he heard that when Qin Chengbo first came to Jiangning, there were as many as seven or eight hundred people in his family, male and female servants and entourage, and ten big ships transported Qin Chengbo's family to Jiangning, but he didn't know if he would use twenty boats when he left, thinking so in his heart, he didn't envy Qin Chengbo's strong family, like he came to Jiangning to serve as his family and entourage There were only eight or nine people, so that he wanted to do something in Jiangning, but there were not many people who could be trusted to drive.

Gu Wuchen thought wildly, and Xiao Xuanchou and other officials of the Inspectorate Department also went to the estuary to supervise under the escort of Yang Pu and Ma Chao.

*********

It was dark, there were no stars and moons, and the soldiers held torches high, and went out of Donghua Gate to the mouth of the river.

Although the overall combat strength of the Jiangning garrison army is also weak, the elite of the two battalions transferred by Qin Chengbo can indeed support the scene, especially Qin Chengbo's nearly 300 elites, it is by no means comparable to the miscellaneous soldiers of Dongcheng Lieutenant who wander in the market all day long.

Looking at the tragic situation of trampling on the field, Qin Chengbo also believed Wang Xueshan's words a little, his face sank like water, and he had to strengthen his vigilance left and right.

The lights of the corner towers surrounding the estuary are still lit, as if a bright moon has just risen over the horizon, pointing the way for the night march here.

Qin Chengbo looked at the lights of the corner tower from a distance, and said to Wang Xueshan and Gu Wuchen: "The lights are so bright!" ”

"This is the lighthouse built by Jiyun Society, which is afraid that the night ship will hit the reef, and asked Ge Fu, a veteran engineer of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, to go out of the mountain, saying that the lights can shine five hundred steps away, and I have not ......seen it with my own eyes," Gu Wuchen said.

"Humph!" Wang Xueshan snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

Traveling to the vicinity of the estuary platform, Qin Chengbo really felt that it was very convenient to have a corner tower to illuminate the road, just like a full moon night, although the light outside the fence was dim, he could barely see things at night.

Qin Chengbo watched the main gate of the fence wall fully open, there were more than a dozen people standing there waiting on the inside of the fence gate, and he couldn't see who it was in a daze, Wang Xueshan was about to order the soldiers to enter the fence gate to arrest Lin Jian and others, and then he said, someone over there had already greeted him first, and loudly announced: "Moling Zhixian Chen/Yuan Liang led the county lieutenants and subordinates to welcome Lord Qin, Lord Wang, Lord Gu, a certain Jiangdao prison officer Lin Jian reported that after Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, was arrested and led the crowd to leave, there were hundreds of mobs in the city who were bewitched and attacked the estuary camp, Request support from Moling County. Thinking of the tragedy of the homeless people, he did not dare to slack off, and the county lieutenant personally led the sword archers and the arresters to rush to the rescue, rushed to the night before night, and killed four anti-French mobs and captured 546 mobs with the prison guards, all of whom were arrested within the high walls, please check them! In addition to the 546 captured mobs, Zhao Shuhan, the director of the Jiangning Criminal Department's Prison Department, Shi Ge Siyu, the secretary of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, Ge Fu, the former engineer of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, and Wu Yanqing, the physician of Jiangning Xuanji Hall, can testify to this. ”

Wang Xueshan was stunned and wanted to fall down from the horse, how could this result not be the massacre of civilians by Lin Jiao, and in the blink of an eye, it became Jiangdao Prison and Moling County cooperated to arrest more than 500 mobs?

Wang Xueshan was quite calm, Chen Zhi immediately rolled off the horse, and shouted at Chen/Yuanliang: "You are lying, you are all in a gang, your Dongyang Township Party covers each other, and you want to hide people's eyes, I witnessed Lin Lian driving people to massacre civilians, am I blind?"

"Captain Chen, you led a battalion of elites on the side, did you just watch Lin Jian slaughter civilians? Or are you talking nonsense? Gu Wuchen saw that Chen Zhi was speechless, he rode on his horse and asked with a sneer, and then arched his hand towards Qin Chengbo and said, "Say more undoubtedly, please send someone to join the Xuanfu envoy, the commander and our Lord Xiao into the fence to check the prisoners and interrogate them to know the truth!" ”

"Chen Zhi, you are so bold, what kind of deception did you deceive this official?" No matter how stupid Wang Xueshan is, he knows that he has fallen into Gu Wuchen's trap, Chen Zhi, a mediocre talent, is really not Lin Lian's opponent, but he didn't expect that he would be so stupid that he would frame Lin Lian to massacre civilians, and he actually gave the ghost a trick to believe it was true, Wang Xueshan peeked at the shallow smile on Gu Wuchen's face, and regretted it in his heart, if he could be a little sober, he would not fall into such a passive situation, he looked at Qin Chengbo again, and saw that his face sank like water, he really didn't know what he was thinking, Wang Xueshan couldn't manage too much, at this time he could only lose the car to protect the handsome, Ordered left and right, "Tie up Chen Zhi, who framed the virtuous Chen Zhi for me......"

"Before you go in to test the prisoners, Lord Wang will take down the Dongcheng Captain, it's a bit too hasty, right?" Gu Wuchen pressed forward step by step, squinting at Wang Xueshan, where would it be so easy to let him go, and said, "Wait a while, I will ask Lord Qin to interrogate the details of Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi's arrest of the so-called serious criminals in Jiangning Mansion today!" ”

Although Qin Chengbo is the head of Jiangning's ministers, but he only wants to be a peacemaker at this time, he watched Wang Xueshan's several followers rush out like wolves and tie Chen Zhi firmly, this is considered an offense to him, he still looked at it coldly, and said very calmly: "I think this Dongcheng lieutenant is also very suspicious, Lord Wang is right to take him down for the time being, let's send someone in to test the prisoner first......

Hearing Qin Chengbo say this, Wang Xueshan barely regained his composure, at least at this time, Qin Chengbo still helped him.

After Qin Chengbo is transferred back to Yanjing, he will also be an important minister in the court, he said so, Gu Wuchen also nodded slightly, and let Wang Xueshan send someone to detain Chen Zhi, and the three of them temporarily guarded outside the fence gate, and each sent his subordinates to go in with Chen/Yuanliang, the magistrate of Moling, to check the prisoner. Gu Wuchen sent Xiao Xuanchou in; Wang Xueshan had already relented, and just wanted to ease the relationship with Gu Wuchen as much as possible, so he sent Zuo Sikou to join the army Zhang Yubo in. Wang Xueshan has no power to resist, with Zhao Qinmin's previous betrayal and Chen Zhi's stupid thing, Gu Wuchen really wants to bring him down, and Wang Xueshan doesn't know who he can ask to help him keep the official position of Jiangning Mansion Yin.

The waterway between the estuary and the prison island has been blocked by more than a dozen warships of the Jiangning Water Battalion, but Lin Jian has already prepared on the side of the estuary, and when Chen Zhi returns to the city, a large number of people are in a mess, and it is normal for a few people to be lost, especially those who break their feet or broken legs when they escape, they will be abandoned behind and fall into the hands of Lin Tie. Lin Jian soon understood what Chen Zhi was thinking about in a hurry to return to the city, so he sent someone to Moling County on a fast horse to ask for help and enter the city from Wumiaomen to report to Gu Wuchen. Chen Zhi's actions were flustered and told Wang Xue's aftermath that he went to Donghuamen to verify the delay in time, and Lin Lian, Gu Wuchen and Chen/Yuanliang had enough time to deploy.

Except for a small number of broken items that were left in the estuary camp to be returned, most of the others were transported to Prison Island in time, and all semi-contraband items such as bamboo guns were also transported to Prison Island, and the eight guards also withdrew to Prison Island. The construction site was closed early, all the local workers were repatriated, and the displaced recruiters would return to the enclosure house, and the gates of the enclosing houses and the doors of the individual courtyards in the big house were open for investigation. More than 500 scoundrels were imprisoned in the high walls of the enclosed house built by Guan, tied up with ropes, and guarded by 100 sword archers in Moling County, while Lin Tie himself pretended to be a self-imprisoned cottage, and Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu, Ge Fu, Wu Yanqing and others naturally stayed to testify.

The Jiangning Mansion, the Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion, the Jiangdong Xuanfu Embassy, the Jiangdong Admiral's Office, and the Jiangdong Procuratorial Envoy Department all sent subordinate adjutants to jointly inspect the mob attack on the camp and capture on the spot. In fact, after the fence on the west side was broken, the scoundrels poured in, and this side could be enclosed with the help of the tangible terrain formed by the surrounding houses, and the key was to kill and injure some people when the back road was blocked.

Xiao Xuanchou, Zhang Yubo and others went into the fence to inspect for nearly an hour, questioned the homeless recruiters and the captured scoundrels and others, and selected a few of the Dongcheng Lieutenants to interrogate them, and basically sorted out the situation, so they came to Qin Chengbo, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and others who were guarding outside the fence and said: "It has been ascertained that Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi led more than 500 people to the estuary to arrest the fugitive Zhao Qinmin with documents issued by Jiangning Mansion. Jiangdao Prison Commander Lin Jian refused to take Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi away on the grounds that the prison guards had the right to assist in the defense of the estuary, and the documents presented by Chen Zhi were not signed by the Inspector General. The negotiations were fruitless, and Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, led the people to evacuate, and at the time of evacuation, due to the improper command of the generals of Dongcheng Captain, a panic was formed, resulting in a large number of weapons and armor. When Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, led the crowd to the estuary to arrest the fugitives, rumors spread in the city, saying that Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, was going to attack the estuary. When Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, negotiated with the Jiangdao Prison at the front door, the market broke the fence behind the poplar forest and attacked the camp, causing a number of losses and millions of dollars in copper. After Dongcheng Wei led the crowd to withdraw, the prison guards and Moling County sword archers worked together to arrest the mob. As for why Chen Zhi lied that the mob was slaughtered by Lin Tie, please ask the adults to find out ......"
