The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.
When Chang Yu and Jiang Quan were talking in a low voice at the street corner, they heard shouts from the alley: "The thieves are trying to escape, surround them..." Then there was a loud killing sound, and the archers from high places fired with their bows.
"Protect your lord," Jiang Quan said hello, and surrounded Chang Yu in the corner with a few words. Ji Jike, Chen Ruxin, and Chen Suole also drew out their swords and looked around.
Protecting himself, Chang Yu pushed Jiang Quan in front of him and looked into the alley. He saw a thief coming out from a distance and fighting fiercely with the Jin Yiwei outside.
Obviously, these thieves also knew that if they did not break out earlier, the longer they delayed, the slimmer their chances would be. If the officers and soldiers could not come in several times, they would have to mobilize a large army to suppress them, so they took the initiative to kill them and wanted to break out.
However, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian: although we can't rush in, you can't even think about running out. We have already been angry before, not to mention that the little eunuch is sitting here at this time. Anyone who dares to take a step back will start a fierce fight with the thief.
Jinyiwei has archers at high places, and the surrounding streets and alleys are blocked by nearly a hundred people. It is not that easy for the thieves to break through.
Chang Yu looked at it for a while, his face became more solemn, and he said to Jiang Quan: "Look at the thief's constant arrows, which shows that he has a lot of reserves. Why would he do this if he just wanted to kill the governor?" He raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Maybe we can Investigate a major treason case."
Jiang Quan was immediately excited, rubbed his hands vigorously, and looked into the alley against the wall: "Don't kill everyone..."
The sound of killing inside gradually died down. Under the crazy siege of the Jin Yiwei, the thief failed to break through and had to retreat to the yard again, hiding in a corner and firing hidden arrows.
Fanzi came to report: "Three of the thieves have been captured, but their injuries are serious. I'm afraid they can't be saved."
Not just because he was afraid, but because he couldn't be saved at all. Chang Yu glanced at the three thieves who were all bloody and bloody. They were all young men in their twenties, with dark and strong skin: "But who is the owner of this yard?"
"I've asked the mayor. This house was purchased by a man named Huang Renkuan two years ago. He said he opened an oil pressing workshop and hired a lot of workers..." Jiang Quan said quickly.
Chang Yu sneered: "I'm afraid those workers are the thieves." He raised his eyes and said, "Have you found Huang Renkuan?"
Jiang Quan shook his head: "I heard that Huang Renkuan was doing business in other places and rarely came back. I saw very few of them."
"This is a clue, follow it." Before Chang Yu could finish his words, he heard shouting and shouting inside again. It must be that the thief was trying to break out again.
"The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry," Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Factory Master, I am humbled by my duty and am asking for a fight." Ji Jike looked at it for a long time and his hands itched: "You are just a thief, please wait for me by my humble duty to capture you."
Chang Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. Ji Ji was a master of martial arts and was good at using spears. He was known as the god of spears. If he fought alone or charged into battle, he would be invincible. But in the face of these desperate thugs fighting in groups and sneak attacks with hard bows and crossbows, Chang Yu didn't want him to be in danger.
"The thief has set fire, the thief has set fire." At this moment, a shout came from inside, and Chang Yu couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the murderer inside was really anxious to jump over the wall, and wanted to set fire and escape in the chaos.
not good! Chang Yu suddenly thought of what Jiang Quan said about the yard being an oil mill. If a fire broke out, all the neighboring houses would be in trouble, so he couldn't hold it back anymore and shouted: "Long Feng (alias Ji Jike) led his men to kill." "Go in." He pulled out the steel knife from Jiang Quan's waist and was about to rush over, but Jiang Quan held him tightly: "Sir, you can't do it, you can't do it, it's dangerous inside, and you're still injured..."
Chang Yu didn't care about so much. He was about to chase Jiang Quan away when the sound of horse hooves broke out in the distance, and there were even calls: "Spread out, spread out..." But it was Lao Jiu who led the Black Wolf Battalion.
There are only a hundred people in the Black Wolf Camp, but they are fully armed and full of murderous intent.
"Mr. Factory Lord, I have been ordered by you to suppress thieves..." Lao Jiu spurred his horse forward, got off his horse and held his fists in his arms.
"Where's all this nonsense? The thieves are setting fire to break out. Hurry up and get in." Chang Yu urged impatiently. Lao Jiu let out a hey, raised his hand to greet his brothers to rush into the alley, and did not forget to pat Jiang Quan on the shoulder. He said with a stern look on his face: "Some jobs have to be done by us brothers."
"Oh no, is this guy so arrogant now?" Jiang Quan was surprised.
Chang Yu's sneer came from behind: "He survived a narrow escape from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He certainly has the capital to be arrogant."
There were constant shouts and shouts in the alley, and the besieged thieves seemed to understand that their chances of escape were slim, so they set fire to their houses and took advantage of the chaos to break out.
The Jin Yiwei outside were also experienced. They were watching from high places and firing arrows. People outside the wall surrounded them. When the fierce battle was in full swing, they suddenly heard loud killing sounds. It turned out that it was Lao Jiu who came with the Black Wolf Battalion to support.
In terms of raiding, spying and apprehension, this is Jin Yiwei's strength, but in terms of attacking and killing, they are far inferior to professional soldiers, especially Hei Langying, a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles.
"Liu Lao'er led his men to attack the main gate, while Huzi and Yezhu led their men to climb over the wall. I leveled the house within two seconds." Lao Jiu shouted loudly and ordered his brothers to attack. As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out He was shot in the waist and fell to the ground, blocked by his armor.
But this angered Lao Jiu. He yelled "What the hell" and rushed towards the yard with a knife.
Outside the alley, Chang Yu got on the carriage and said to Ji Jike: "Enter the palace."
"Mr. Factory Master, this, it's not over yet." Jiang Quan hurried over.
Chang Yu glanced into the alley: "The Black Wolf Camp is coming. This shabby yard can't stop it for even a moment. After Lao Jiu is done killing him, go wipe your ass. If anyone is alive, he will be investigated immediately. There is such a big mess." "The governor will enter the palace immediately to meet the saint, and there will be a military parade soon. This matter is relatively sensitive and we must strictly control external rumors to avoid causing panic. We will say to the outside world that we have caught a thief."
"Who would believe that such a big battle would catch a thief?" Jiang Quan muttered, but was shuddered by Chang Yu's glare, and quickly said: "I understand your humble position, I will send you my respects."
There was a lot of traffic on the street, and Ji Jike drove slowly. Chang Yu in the car closed his eyes and meditated, feeling a little surprised. He was just trying to catch the assassin for self-protection, but he seemed to be uncovering a conspiracy.
Who supports such an organization of dead soldiers, and what is their intention?
Plotting a rebellion?
The only people with such great strength are some wealthy nobles or vassal kings, but the vassal kings are all outside the capital, so why should they ambush an army in the capital? Could it be that they are internal agents?
It seems that no prince has rebelled for a long time. The most recent ones are King Anhua and King Ning during the Zhengde period.
But it's not easy for a vassal king to hide such a large force in the capital. Could it be that he colluded with a certain noble...
Chang Yu was a little excited and had a lot of doubts. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out who did it and whether someone wanted to rebel.
But no matter what, if something like this happened, Emperor Chongzhen must be informed as soon as possible. After all, to the emperor, domestic thieves are far more hateful than foreign thieves. This is why the Ming Dynasty emperors always took precautions against vassal kings.
