At the beginning of night, Tiqi came out in all directions in the Shenjing City, and the East City was also taken over by three thousand fine cavalry from the Shenshu Camp of the Jingying camp, and they surrounded the streets and streets of Dongcheng.
All the troops from the five cities were dispatched, responsible for guarding and patrolling the city, and enforcing the curfew.
This move is naturally to prevent some Sanhe Gang members from fleeing from Dongcheng to other urban areas.
Once that person commits murder, it will definitely have an impact on Jia Heng.
There are several hundred people in the Sanhe Gang's core, plus other disciples and peripheral members, up to ten thousand people. Such precautions are not an exaggeration.
Dongcheng, Anyifang
Jia Heng was sitting upright on his horse, looking at the streets inside. There were torches like dragons and horse hooves rustling. It was the soldiers from the Beijing camp who were cooperating with the Jinyi Guards to seal the ban and inspect the brothels, gambling houses, brothels, wine shops, shops, etc. in the east city. There are more than 30 industries in the Sanhe Gang.
One by one, men and women were tied up and escorted out of the brothel by the soldiers, stuffed into prison cars, and then headed towards the cells of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the dark.
Occasionally sporadic shouts of death could be heard in the distance, but then they quickly fell silent.
Cai Quan on the side looked at Jia Heng and said, "Sir, after this night, Dongcheng will be wiped out!"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless. Have someone pass my order to Che Zheng. First, assist the Tiqi of Jinyi Mansion to capture these bosses, and then let the soldiers of Guoyong camp take over the ferry. Once the water workers are discovered, If there is trouble and the grain cannot be transferred, we must immediately suppress and take over. The sailors of the grain ship under Li Jinzhu must also be interrogated and screened. Anyone involved in murder cases must be selected and imprisoned, and other innocent people must be controlled and comforted."
Cai Quan listened on the side and said: "I will obey your orders."
With that said, he ordered the soldiers to pass orders to all the troops in Guoyong camp.
At this moment, the infantry from Guoyong Camp also arrived one after another, and had taken over 21 of the forty-two squares in the east city. It was truly achieved that there must be official and military checkpoints at the thoroughfares, and there must be cavalry on the streets. Soldiers patrolling.
If you include the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division outside the East City, the deployment and control of key intersections and traffic arteries is exactly what Jia Heng said before.
Only in this way can the Sanhe Gang be blocked in Dongcheng for easy arrest. Otherwise, once they break away and escape to Chang'an City, the Sanhe Gang will become a pile of shit, filled with maggots, dirty water flowing across the street, and poisonous. endless.
Jia Heng looked at the silent night sky with a stern face, and then said to Cai Quan on the side: "Li Jinzhu's house has also been sealed for inspection tomorrow."
Cai Quan responded and ordered his soldiers to pass on the order.
Time passed silently, until around midnight, the sound of horse hooves tapping on the floor suddenly sounded in the distance.
But at this time, Lu Jingyao and Ji Yingtian, as well as more than ten servants of Jinyi Mansion, Jinyi Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, and Baihu, led a large group of Tiqi, holding burning pine oil torches, and drove their horses away. Come.
The animal patterns on the Feiyu suit he wore looked a bit dark and ferocious under the bright lights.
Jia Heng nodded to Lu Jingyao and asked, "Master Lu, what is the current situation of the arrests of the Sanhe Gang?"
Lu Jingyao had no expression on his face and said with cupped hands: "Master Jia, except for Pan Jian, the heads of the four halls, the other three heads, Huang Zhuo, have been killed. The fourth head, Han Ziping, and the fifth head, Li Jiuniang, have all been captured alive! The Sanhe Gang Thirty-nine other leaders above the deputy helmsman were killed by our Jinyifu Tiqi. Fifteen of them were killed, and the rest were all captured. In addition, one hundred and thirty-two people from the Sanhe Gang were killed. These are all The leader’s subordinates and retinues.”
As for other deacon leaders and a large number of disciples, they are obviously still following the Beijing camp to suppress and arrest them.
Jia Heng said: "Jinyi Mansion has contributed a lot to this battle. Thank you for your hard work."
When Lu Jingyao heard this, his face moved slightly, and he felt happy. He was busy waiting for these words.
But it's a pity that if this person didn't say "Master Lu's hard work", even if it was just casually, when he recounted his achievements afterwards, his mistakes and omissions in the previous days could be covered up.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, you immediately lead several thousand families to torture some of the leaders first. They must know the addresses and hiding places of ordinary members of the Sanhe Gang very well, and then they will be arrested separately to eliminate evil!"
"Remember, I would rather catch three thousand by mistake than let one go!"
Lu Jingyao listened to the awe-inspiring and terrifying voice, his face straightened, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir."
With that said, he left with four imperial guards Qianhu.
Jia Heng looked at Ji Yingtian again, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ji, you will immediately mobilize a large number of clerks and accountants from the Experience Department to cooperate with Chief Fan of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, and Deputy Cai Qianhu of the Beijing Camp was counting the belongings of the Sanhe Gang. These ill-gotten gains would be recorded in a book and put into the national treasury, with people watching from top to bottom! Who dares to reach out randomly? Emperor Jia The sword will never spare him!"
When Ji Yingtian heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir."
With that said, he also led the three Jinyi Qianhu and Tiqi away.
Jia Heng looked at Cai Quan on the side and said, "Deputy Cai Qianhu, you should also go with your people."
Copying and inspecting the Sanhe Gang's belongings can't be done without close confidants following you.
Cai Quan crossed his fists, said nothing, and rode away.
For a while, among the vast number of people in the Jinyi Mansion, there were still a few Qianhu and deputy Qianhu in Feiyu uniforms.
Jia Heng looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "You two, each send a team of people to patrol back and forth to help escort several leaders of the Sanhe Gang to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Department and keep them under strict guard until the Japanese officials come tomorrow. Question them.”
How much property and money does the gang have? Who knows more about it than the leaders?
Especially the fourth leader Han Ziping, the accountant of the Sanhe Gang, has a deep understanding of the financial situation of the Sanhe Gang.
It can be said that all the proceeds from the suppression of the Sanhe Gang will be put into the national treasury and internal funds. He will not touch even one tael of this money!
Not to mention that the Jinyi Mansion followed him throughout the whole process, the problem that he couldn't fool was that this was also his best opportunity to show off to the civil servants and the emperor.
Not only is Jia Heng Ke a character who is loyal and capable of planning big things, but also a character who is loyal, honest and brave enough to do things.
"Such a man who has been entrenched in Dongcheng for nearly ten years, evading taxes and taking advantage of side businesses, saving up for more than ten years, and confiscating eight million taels of silver, cannot afford such a huge battle! Otherwise, Li Jinzhu would not have given me millions worth of goods before!" Jia Heng's eyes flickered as he thought.
Needless to say, when the lucrative seizures are handed over, the entire government and the public will be excited!
Famous and unparalleled!
Because of the continuous natural and man-made disasters, the Chen Han court's annual tax revenue was only about 20 million taels!
Such a large amount of money was handed over to the national treasury. No matter what the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, or officials from science and education, they could only "celebrate each other". In the past, even though there were some literati who looked down upon them, those who had great ambitions but few talents, and those who had high ambitions and low hands. ...Anyone who can't bear to see his sudden rise to a high position as a young man and his outstanding reputation, and those who use a magnifying glass to find fault with him can only hold back for now!
This is the magic of silver!
Of course, it is not all for nothing. Except for the closure and rectification of side businesses such as brothels and gambling houses, some high-quality properties can be sold at discounts so that the family can buy some.
Jia Heng then turned around and ordered Cai Quan to send someone to inform the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities to mobilize civil servants, and temporarily appointed Fan Yi as the chief bookkeeper, who would copy and inspect together with people from Jinyi Mansion.
After watching everyone in Jinyi Mansion leave, Jia Heng looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of the Sanhe Gang has basically come to an end. The next step is to interrogate and exonerate the leader. These are all left to the Jingzhao Yamen's promotion officials.
It can be said that such a major case will not come to an end within a few months.
And this period of time was exactly the opportunity for him to reorganize the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and get involved in the training, dispatching and other matters of the Guoyong Camp.
Jia Heng was thinking about his next plan.
The night was getting darker and everything was quiet, but the vigorous manhunt continued throughout the East City until the ugly hour. Hundreds of people were sent to the prison of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
The city of Shenjing was also enveloped by this impending storm. Many dignitaries sent servants from their mansions to inquire about the situation. However, as soon as they reached the street, they were stopped by soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, saying that they were arresting the Sanhe Gang. If you commit an important crime, you are not allowed to leave without authorization.
In the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, the office was brightly lit all night, and scribes came and went, recording the basic information of the arrested people one by one, classifying them into categories, and summarizing them into files.
Under Jia Heng's orders, the Wucheng Military and Horse Department and the Jinyi Mansion Experience Department sent a large number of clerks to follow Tiqi, count the money, put seals on the seized property, and record it in books. Everything was in an orderly manner. .
…
…
The next day, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division
Jia Heng got up early in the morning and had been stationed at the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division last night. He slept for a while in the official hall at the turn of the Yinmao period. When he walked to the front hall, he was about to summon Jinyi Mansion and the Wucheng Soldiers. Everyone in Masi.
"Sir, Deputy Qu Qianhu is back." At this moment, a soldier from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division reported in a hurry.
Jia Heng looked stunned and said, "Fu Qianhu, let him in quickly!"
Qu Lang didn't come back all night. He and Zhao Yi had gone to keep an eye on Pan Jian, the second leader of the Sanhe Gang. He also remembered last night that Pan Jian, who has the power of secret spies, would not escape.
Not long after, Qu Lang strode into the official hall with two royal guards, his face still looked tired and his clothes were in a mess, it was clear that he had not slept all night.
He came close enough, raised his hands and said, "Sir."
Jia Heng's eyes lingered on the wooden box held by the two royal guards behind Qu Lang. He smelled a hint of blood between his nose and asked: "Deputy Qu Qianhu, what happened to the second boss Pan Jian?"
"Sir, the heads of Pan Jian and Hu Ning, the deputy head of Yutang, are here." Qu Lang said, motioning to the two Jinyi guards to open the wooden box in their hands.
Jia Heng glanced at the head, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! Now that this person is eliminated, we can sit back and relax." Gu Tan
Qu Lang frowned, "Sir, we didn't actually kill Pan Jian. We killed Hu Ning in the rear. Pan Jian escaped alone. Just when he wanted to come back this morning, a letter came to him. The arrow was shot in front of us, and it was written that the person had died in Yunyang Restaurant, and then I hurried to Yunyang Restaurant and brought his body back."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was startled and frowned, saying, "Kill someone and silence them? Is there any movement in Jinyi Mansion?"
Could it be King Qi?
But even if the King of Qi wanted to kill someone to silence him, there was no need because Li Jinzhu was still alive. What was the use of killing the second-in-command Pan Jian?
Jia Heng's heart was full of doubts, and he always felt that there was a cloud of doubt hanging over him.
"Those who can achieve this step at least have a good understanding of the movements of Jinyi Mansion. There are spies among more than a thousand Jinyi households in Jinyi Mansion. If it were the King of Qi, he would have already informed the Sanhe Gang and ruined my affairs. Moreover, The Jinyi Mansion was reorganized due to the Sanhe Gang incident, so it cannot be the Jinyi Mansion, so it is not the King of Qi..."
Jia Heng made quick calculations in his mind and had some vague guesses, but of course he couldn't confirm them.
Seeing Jia Heng's eyes twinkling and his face thoughtful, Qu Lang's heart moved and he asked, "What guesses have you made, sir?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "It's not good to make random guesses, and it's not appropriate to add extraneous ramifications to this matter. Let's wipe out the Sanhe Gang first. Then Deputy Qu Qianhu and several brothers will sleep in the back hall of the Si Yamen and have dinner together at noon. "
Qu Lang nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your sympathy."
With that said, without saying much, he led a few royal guards towards the back hall of Si Yamen.
Jia Heng was sitting in the office, quietly waiting for the summary of information from all parties.
…
…
Rongguofu
There was a big fuss last night, and finally, with Jia Heng's comfort, the female relatives of Rong Ning's second house ate and listened to a play in Huifang Garden, while the old and young men of Jia's house finished their meals in the side courtyard, and dispersed in the evening.
The dinner was declined again...
Firstly, because Jia Heng was not in the mansion, and secondly, Jia Lian had something embarrassing that was difficult to talk about, and Jia Mu was not in much of a mood, so she led a group of female relatives to Rong Mansion first.
As for the peace ceremony at Qingxu Temple, it was naturally put on hold for the time being.
However, after the sound of the killing in front was heard in the backyard, Jia Mu's desire to make a memorial ceremony and pray for blessings became more intense.
In Rongguo Mansion, in the early morning, the cool and cold wind of late autumn became more and more serious. A thin plum tree in the courtyard had a layer of crystal dew hanging on its sparse branches and leaves.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu's wing room has been hung with silk and cotton curtains from bamboo curtains. It's not cold inside.
Jia Mu finished her breakfast, sat on the Arhat bed, looked at Yuanyang beside her, and asked, "Brother Heng hasn't come back yet?"
Yuanyang said: "Old lady, I just sent someone to ask. I just replied that Uncle Heng didn't come back last night."
Jia Mu sighed, with a look of worry on her face, and said: "It's hard for him. Yesterday, I heard that the boys who helped Dongfu were carrying dozens of corpses. The front yard was bleeding like tofu. Yes, the boy vomited several times."
Just from a few words, one can almost imagine how dangerous it was at that time.
That is Jia Mu, most people feel uncomfortable talking about her.
Li Wan, who brought Jia Lan to greet Jia's mother early in the morning, had a bit of fear in Xiuya's eyebrows and smiled gently: "Old lady, it's scary to say this so early in the morning."
With that said, he hugged little Jialan.
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Lan and said with a smile, "Don't let Lan'er be frightened."
He raised his head and looked at the deserted Rongqing Hall. He sighed and said, "How are you doing there, Miss Feng?"
Just as Yuanyang was about to speak, he heard laughter coming from outside, "Is the ancestor in the inner room? My granddaughter-in-law is paying my respects to the ancestor."
It’s still the case that people laugh before they arrive.
Not long after, Sister Feng, accompanied by Ping'er, Feng'er, and Zhou Rui's maids and wives, bypassed a golden jade and autumn chrysanthemum screen and entered the inner hall of Rongqing Hall.
Sister Feng's beautiful face was painted with rouge and gouache, and it was bright and bright, and she didn't seem to be haggard at all.
But Jia Mu could still see some clues. She moved her lips and said with a smile: "Feng girl, come here quickly. Lian'er was a little frightened. Are you okay now?"
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Ancestor Lao is concerned, but he was a little frightened. After the doctor looked at it, he said that he would be fine if he rested for two days. I feel much better this morning."
Jia Mu nodded, pretending not to know anything, and said: "Lian'er is a blessed person. Ji people have their own destiny. After this matter is settled, we can go to Qingxu Temple together for a few days to have a peaceful wedding ceremony. Chong Chong unlucky."
"Ancestor, that's what I meant." Sister Feng smiled, pursed her pink lips, quickly changed the subject, and asked, "Why don't you see Baoyu and the other sisters?"
It can be said that Sister Feng just pretended that Jia Lian was not exposed, and Jia Mu was also a smart person and pretended not to know.
Hearing this, Jia Mu sighed and said with a wry smile: "Baoyu wrote something that Brother Heng arranged. The night before yesterday, Brother Heng didn't like it after reading it, so he asked him to rewrite it. I wrote it all day yesterday, but I don't know. Have you written it down? I asked him to send someone to greet you early this morning."
I was also secretly glad that Baoyu didn't go to Ning Mansion yesterday. If he scared Hun'er away, it would be no joke.
Those who are frightened out of their wits are often caused by a high fever that does not go away. In fact, they are suffering from mental panic.
Sister Feng smiled and was about to say something.
Suddenly, the sound of a group of warblers and swallows came from outside. They were clearly sisters Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun, coming from under the eaves of the corridor.
In fact, Daiyu lived in the same house as Jia Mu, behind the Bisha cupboard, separated from Baoyu by only a wall.
It was just that she was a little older, even if there were maids waiting in front of her, Jia Mu realized that it was not appropriate, so she packed up a wing in the courtyard for Daiyu to live in.
Well, Baoyu still lives beside me.
Under the eaves of the corridor, surrounded by maids, Daiyu and Tanchun were talking quietly.
Tan Chun's bright eyes sparkled and she asked softly: "Sister Lin, can you lend me the "Huangdi Neijing" in the house later?"
Daiyu actually has the habit of reading miscellaneous books, not even limited to medical books.
In the original Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu's sentence about a good time and a beautiful scene reveals the details of reading miscellaneous books.
This leads to the acquaintance of Chai and Dai. The water of banned books is too deep. Daiyu, you can’t control it...
On the other side of the room, when Daiyu heard this, Chunshan's starry eyes flashed under her dark eyebrows, and she chuckled, "I can't find that book. Maybe I lost it in the box last time."
When Tanchun heard this, he didn't doubt his presence and asked, "Lo, where are the other medical books?"
"I can't find it either." Daiyu's pink cheeks felt a little strange for a moment, and her heart beat a little faster, and she said softly.
Thinking of her last night, she was also very curious and had to look for medical books to read, otherwise she would not get dirty.
Thinking of this, Daiyu secretly spat in her heart.
Tanchun heard the words and stopped asking any more questions. His beautiful eyes flashed and he said, "Okay."
She originally wanted to check on Brother Lian's injury so that she could talk to Sister-in-law Feng when she came to visit him.
Generally speaking, these are thoughtful people, that is, when they go to visit the patient, they know something about the condition and then say some sweet words according to the situation.
Then several people entered the wing where Jia Mu was, and for a while, the wing that had been deserted just now became lively.
Seeing Tanchun, Daiyu, Yingchun and Xichun all entering the inner hall, Sister Feng had the same smile as before on her pretty face, and she said with a smile: "Sister Lin and third sister are here too."
I have to say that women are all actors, especially beautiful women.
Tanchun asked: "Sister-in-law Feng, second brother Lian is doing well."
Sister Feng chuckled softly and said: "It was okay originally. He has never seen a battle before. Someone made a small opening on his forehead. In fact, it was just a little skin scratch and a little blood. He was , had never seen blood, he was so scared that he was paralyzed, and he was helped back. I just laughed at him, a martial arts family like ours can't even see blood."
I have to say that women are all born actors, especially beautiful women. Sister Feng’s words are impeccable!
The forehead, that is the heaven, and as for the back court...which servant would spread rumors about the second master?
Jia Mu also sighed: "I just told Yuanyang that yesterday a few boys in our house went to Brother Heng's front yard to collect the corpses of criminals. They were so frightened that they almost vomited out their gall."
When Tanchun heard this, he felt that there was something strange there, but it was hard to ask further.
Only Daiyu blinked at the scene of her grandmother and Sister-in-law Feng singing together.
