Zhang Xiao didn't know why, but he still followed the stall out of the yard.

The stall leader led them to the east wing, found a house with plum trees planted in front of the door, and kicked it open and entered. The room was a woman's room, and the stall head went straight to the bed, picked up a pillow, and saw a page under the pillow.

Zhang Xiao looked at it, and a flash stepped forward and grabbed the piece of paper.

I saw the clouds on paper: Zhou has gone to Sichuan!

Obviously, this was the room of one of the two beautiful maids sent by Dongchang. Presumably, this maid had fled with Zhou Yanru, and it was too late to inform Dongchang, so she could only leave a book under the pillow.

Zhang Xiao was taken aback when he saw these four words.

Zhou Yanru entered Sichuan, this matter is not trivial. If he dares to go to Sichuan, then the military and political power in Sichuan will inevitably be in the hands of the Donglin people. If Zhou Yanru arrives there, refuses to obey the edict and stands on his own in the name of "the Son of Heaven was robbed and the national thief is in charge", it will be like a separation, and the trouble will be big!

Zhang Xiao felt a chill behind his back when he thought of this, and hurriedly arched his hand at the stall, and said, "Brother, I have offended a lot, so I will leave it to you first." ”

The stall head also replied, "It's easy to say, and go and report to the country." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xiao had already rushed out of the house.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, went out and got on the horse, and regardless of the ban, he rode directly through the downtown area, ran to the Hou Mansion quickly, and handed the letter to Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai was also shocked when he saw it!

Li Daliang and Luo Yangxing saw Qin Shuhuai's grim expression, so they asked what was the matter, and Qin Shuhuai told the truth.

The two of them immediately exclaimed in unison, "Zhou Yanru can't enter the Sichuan!"

Qin Shuhuai immediately said, "Zhou Yanru must be intercepted." Brother Yunyi and Commander Luo, each of your factory guards will send a team of people, and I will also send a team here, and our soldiers will chase them together in three ways!"

Li Daliang said, "Okay! By the way, if our Neiying is still alive, they should leave marks along the way." The mark of our east factory is two horizontal and one vertical, or sprinkle white beads on the ground. ”

"Well, then, tell the pursuing brethren to pay attention. ”

More than a quarter of an hour later, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Jianghe Gang, the three groups of people and horses each brought more than 1,000 people, immediately galloped out, and went to the road to Sichuan in three ways to intercept it!

Qin Shuhuai was still not at ease, and immediately called Li Jingting and asked him to repair the book on his behalf. The letter was addressed to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, and Qin Shuhuai asked him to lead troops into Sichuan immediately after receiving the letter, so as to deter the armies in Sichuan!

After stamping the Qin Shuhuai seal, Li Jingting also brought a team of good players and set off immediately!

Sichuan can't change!

If Sichuan is occupied by Zhou Yanru, once he declares that he "refuses to obey the edict" there, then the Donglin Party in other provinces is likely to follow suit and echo it, so that the world will be in chaos and out of control!

Qin Shuhuai never thought that Zhou Yanru would run so fast. Martial law has long been imposed in the capital, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been ambushed around the Zhou Mansion two days ago, thinking that it would be easy to take him down, but he didn't expect to be easily escaped by him!

In addition to the secret passage in the Zhou Mansion, I am afraid that the people from the Dark Cloud Sect are also here, otherwise Zhou Yanru would not have been able to run so smoothly.

Fortunately, although Zhou Yanru ran away, the other Donglin Party officials in Beijing did not run, and the factory guards only needed to follow the map and copy it one by one.

There are more than 170 Donglin Party officials in Beijing, most of whom serve in the Sixth Ministry, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, and other places. As for how to identify their identities, it is very simple, Wen Tiren wrote a book "Donglin Disaster Country Record", which recorded most of the Donglin Party members, and Chongzhen also recorded it, but whoever followed Zhou Yanru to play together, especially one who impeached Qin Shuhuai, eighty percent of the Donglin Party did not run!

In the capital, the bloody storm suddenly rose.

In this whole day, the factory guards rode out in all directions, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade came and went to the mansions of the major officials in Donglin, just like a group of life-seeking ghosts, after entering the door, they took a rope and put it on their heads, and killed them if they resisted a little.

For a time, there were wailing and crying everywhere in the capital, and one after another Donglin Party officials were loaded into prison cars and escorted to the Zhenfu Division, and the families of those officials, but those who were within the three relatives were inevitably taken away.

Prisoner vans passed by in an endless stream to make trouble, and the people were stunned.

After a while, An Min's notice came out.

The notice said that Donglin has brought disaster to the country and the people, deceived the monarch, and framed Zhongliang, and the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation! Among the people, anyone who knows about Donglin's misdeeds, or who has been oppressed by Donglin, can go to the Jinyi Health Office to report the case, and the court will seek justice for them!

In addition to these, the notice also said that it has been rumored that the Donglin officials framed Chen Luo, the chief soldier of Shenyang, have been verified to be true, and the imperial court will severely punish the relevant people and others to seek justice for Chen Zongbing. And, three days later, the emperor personally presided over the memorial of General Chen's soldiers to comfort the loyal soul!

When the people heard this, they all ran to tell each other!

This is just like in modern times, when a public outrage detonates on the Internet, the authorities can quickly and strictly deal with the relevant officials, which can cause the whole country to cheer.

And in this matter, it may not be the victory of the rule of law of the Ming Dynasty, but it is the victory of public opinion of Qin Shuhuai and Chongzhen!

The public opinion offensive of nearly two months ago has finally come to fruition!

The panic caused by the mass arrest and raiding of Donglin Party officials was quickly replaced by an atmosphere in which justice was served.

If the people's minds are not in turmoil, then the army's morale will not be in turmoil! This is very important!

At this time, whoever wins public opinion will win the world!

If the world thinks that Donglin is rebellious, then the name of Qing is right. If the world thinks that Qin Shuhuai is rebellious, then Qing Donglin is the same move of Qin Shuhuai's party to fight against differences, and it is bound to be used by people with ulterior motives to cause national turmoil.

At the same time, a large number of strong guards in the palace went out to all parts of the country.

They all carry Chongzhen's holy decree, which is given to the main generals of the guards in various places, and the content is very clear, that is, the Donglin Governor has deceived the monarch, the emperor has decided to rectify, and the generals must wait for the holy decree, and no soldier shall be allowed to move without the holy decree, and those who violate the order will be considered treason!

At 9 o'clock on this day, according to the unified deployment, the factory guards who had already arrived at the county offices across the country also began to act.

Ninghe County, Changsha Prefecture.

Zhao Qigong, the county magistrate, had just been promoted to the court, and was about to try a cattle theft case, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He was about to scold, but was surprised to see a dozen brocade guards rushing in.

The first person took out his waist card and shook it, and said to Zhao Qigong, "Lord Zhao, Jinyiwei is handling the case, let's leave the hall first." ”

Zhao Qigong stood up in shock, hurriedly arched his hand to the man, and said, "Dare to ask this lord's surname......?

Because the heads and brains of Jinyi Weidu in various places have changed recently, Zhao Qigong doesn't know the person in front of him.

The brocade-clothed guard said with a smile, "This official is the new Jinyi Guard, and he is looking for Lord Zhao if he has something." Lord Zhao should leave the hall first!"

How dare Zhao Qigong confront Jinyiwei, he hurriedly retreated, and after everyone dispersed, he asked, "I don't know what happened to Lin Baihu?"

Lin Baihu took out a stack of notices and directly said that he should stamp the county order seal, and then post it in the county government and all parts of the county.

Why do you want to put a county order seal? Because the county order seal is known to the local people and is more authoritative. On the contrary, the governor's seal and even the emperor's jade seal are not known to the people. Moreover, if the notice is issued with a jade seal, it is not in line with the etiquette law, and the people dare not believe it.

Zhao Qigong took the notice and looked at it, only to see that the content above was to announce that the death of Chen Luo, the chief soldier of Shenyang, had been verified, and that it was done by the Donglin rebel party headed by Zhou Yanru. In addition, the notice also listed a series of crimes such as the Donglin Party framing Zhongliang, bullying the monarch, causing chaos in the dynasty, and exploiting the people!

Zhao Qigong is not a fool, he knows at a glance that the emperor is preparing to completely clean Donglin!

And he himself was born in Donglin, and his teacher was Li Min, the political envoy of Huguangbu - a senior Donglin man.

He felt a chill all over his body, and wondered if this thing was real? Because he heard from the above earlier that Qin Shuhuai wanted to mess up the government and fight Donglin to the death, so could this be Qin Shuhuai who framed our Donglin with the emperor's order?

If this is posted, I will go back to the Changsha prefect and even the political envoy to blame it, and I can't afford it!

But Jinyiwei's gang of murderers is not easy to deal with!

He thought about it for a moment and decided to use procrastination.

Putting away the notice, he said to Lin Baihu, "Dare to ask Lin Baihu who ordered him? Generally speaking, the notices from above are all sent to the county through the approval of the prefect, why did you ...... this time?"

Lin Baihu sneered, and without waiting for him to finish, he pulled out a knife and put it on his neck.

"Lord Zhao, the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of Donglin's rebellion. Your prefect has our own Jinyi guard above us to find it, as for you, just do your part. Rest assured, as long as you cooperate obediently, the emperor will not embarrass you with a small county order. ”

Zhao Qigong hesitated, rolled his eyes, and said, "Lin Baihu, this matter is not trivial, please show the token again, and let the official confirm it." ”

Lin Baihu impatiently took out the token and gave it to Zhao Qigong, and Zhao Qigong knew it was true at a glance.

But he also wanted to be smart.

"Lin Baihu, the official can't tell if this token is real or fake. Wait a minute, wait for this official ......"

Lin Baihu sneered, "Zhao County order, on the orders of the emperor, all obsessed Donglin officials will be killed!"

After that, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was suddenly mentioned, and he directly cut off Zhao Qigong's head!

Zhao Qigong never thought that he would cause a murderous disaster just by delaying the time slightly!

The officials and others present were all stunned, so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Lin Baihu carried the bloody knife, put it on the shoulder of the county government master, and said coldly, "Where is the county order seal?"

The master book was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said, "In, in the back hall, the students will go and get it, and this will go and get it!"
