Lu Chaohui, a member of the Jinyiwei family, walked towards Fan Ming in person, pointing at Fan Ming with his embroidered spring knife: "You guy! You are quite good at playing with people's hearts, but you have misjudged it. Not all people in the world are mercenary."
After saying that, Lu Zhaohui shouted: "Take it away!"
So, two royal guards pulled Fan Mingti up and put on shackles.
at this time.
The entire Zhangjiakou Fort officers and soldiers lost their fighting spirit after seeing that the two chief generals Wang Wei and Wen Quan had committed suicide, and surrendered under the coercion of the Jin Yiwei.
Among them, all the military attaches above the general banner were also controlled by the Jin Yiwei.
And because Xu Xianchun was Zhu Youxiao, he was granted the power of general dispatch in the decree.
Therefore, Xu Xianchun arranged for Zhejiang soldiers to guard the city, and white pole soldiers to surround the residences and warehouses of the major Shanxi merchants in the fort.
"Your Majesty has a decree. If there is resistance, he will be killed without mercy! Please don't worry, two generals!"
After Xu Xianchun told Qi Jin and Qin Liangyu, he personally rode his horse and led a group of factory guards to escort Fan Ming to Fan's house.
The Baigan soldiers also sent 300 people, led by Qin Minping, towards the Fan family.
At this time, Fan Yongdou also led his own thugs to protect the warehouse of his residence. When he saw the white-pole soldiers approaching, he immediately shouted: "Kill them, they are here to ransack our house!"
So, these Fan's thugs came to kill the white-pole soldiers, and there were even several rows of Fan's thugs who still had firearms.
"Kill!"
But the white-pole soldiers attacked first. Qin Minping led his cavalry servants and also learned the tactics of Jiannu. They rode their horses over first, and then shot arrows at the Fan clan's thugs. At the same time, Qin Minping and his servants hurriedly turned their horses.
Whizzing!
After several sharp arrows pierced the air, several Fan's thugs were shot down, and the other Fan's thugs immediately started shooting in a hurry.
Suddenly.
The whole front door of Fan's house was filled with white smoke.
The white soldiers took the opportunity to rush up with shields and hooks and sickles. Covered by the white smoke, they pierced countless hooks and sickles into the bodies of these Fan family thugs, and then drew out countless blood and screams. Voice.
At the same time, Qin Minping also took away his servants and rushed in again, killing these Fan family thugs.
After all, the Fan family's thugs were just the landlord's private armed forces. They were good at guarding homes and courtyards, but they still lacked a lot of combat effectiveness in front of the regular main force of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they had high-quality smuggled firearms, they didn't know how to form an effective formation due to lack of training. , and there was no qualified military officer to take command from the center. Therefore, these Fan family thugs were beaten into chaos and immediately collapsed into an army. They hurriedly ran to both sides abandoning their helmets and armor.
"Waste! These wastes!"
Seeing this, Fan Yongdou jumped in haste and had no choice but to retreat into the door and close the door.
After the white smoke cleared, there were corpses in front of Fan's house, and blood flowed into a river.
boom!
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of artillery, and the Jin Yiwei, who was ordered to bring artillery, rushed over and opened the door of Fan's house with a cannon.
Seeing this scene, Fan Yongdou ran back subconsciously, but was caught by the Jin Yiwei who was chasing him.
At this time, white soldiers were already guarding the outside of the house.
Xu Xianchun came in with a group of royal guards and waved his hand: "It has been found that the Fan family has collaborated with the enemy and the country, smuggled prohibited items, and colluded with traitors. We have come here to raid the house according to the imperial decree. Following my order, we will free up a few empty rooms." , imprison everyone in the Fan Mansion, except the adult male Ding family head, in a vacant room, lock them, and then torture and ransack the house!"
After saying that, Xu Xianchun ordered again: "Bring all the adult men of the Fan family here! And Fan Ming, also escort him here!"
At that moment, Fan Ming, Fan Cheng, Fan Yu, Fan Yongdou and others were all escorted here, and they were all forced to kneel on the ground.
"Bring Fan Yuqing here too."
Xu Xianchun ordered again.
Fan Yuqing, who had been guarded by Jin Yiwei, was also brought over.
Xu Xianchun asked Fan Yuqing: "Are all the adult men of the Fan family already here?"
At this time, Fan Ming couldn't help being shocked and quickly looked up. None of them expected that Fan Yuqing was still alive and had been sent to identify them.
Fan Yuqing glanced at Fan Ming and others before nodding to Xu Xianchun: "Back to Mr. Xu, all the adult males of the Fan family are here."
"good!"
Xu Xianchun said: "Start copying! Copy out the obvious ones first!"
"yes!"
As a result, a large group of royal guards in brightly colored suits poured into Fan's mansion like a huge wave and began to rummage through the cabinets.
Not long after, Jin Yiwei kept coming to report the things they had confiscated.
"Report it! Three boxes of illegal high-interest loan IOUs were seized!"
"Report! Five boxes of illegally annexed land and property deeds were found!"
"Report! The amount of prohibited gunpowder found is estimated to be no less than 3,000 kilograms!"
"Report! The cycad was found and is estimated to be no less than 5,000 kilograms!"
…
"Report! The Shanxi Dusi army rations found in the warehouse are estimated to be no more than 10,000 dan, and there will be no time to disassemble and assemble them in the future. This is one of the bags of army rations!"
At that time, a large amount of Fan's property was confiscated.
And when a Jin Yiwei carried a bag of moldy military rations to Xu Xianchun and reported it, Xu Xianchun glanced at the bag with the seal of Shanxi Dusi on it, then pulled out his Xiuchun knife and stabbed the bag. Suddenly, he saw a lot of rice flowing out. When they came out, they were all moldy.
Xu Xianchun asked Fan Ming: "What's going on?"
Fan Ming remained silent and did not answer.
Xu Xianchun cut off Fan Ming's thumb with a swing of his knife.
Fan Ming suddenly screamed in pain: "Ah! It hurts!"
"explain!"
Xu Xianchun shouted loudly.
Fan Ming hurriedly endured the pain and trembled his lips and said: "It's the backlog of military rations that Dusi shipped over. It was supposed to be sold to Jianzhou, but Xiong Tingbi's inspection was strict and he didn't dare to put it all on the market, so he just let it go." It’s in the library!”
"Damn it! I don't know how many soldiers in Jiubian are still starving, but you transported military rations to Donglu. Now they can't be transported out and are still rotting in the warehouse. I can't wait to kill you profiteers!"
Qin Minping, who came over to watch the excitement, couldn't help but draw his knife when he saw this scene.
"General Qin, calm down! These rebels will be dealt with strictly by the imperial court. As a direct result, he will take advantage of him!"
Xu Xianchun said something.
Only then did Qin Minping endure it.
After the Jin Yiwei finished confiscating the Fan family's assets, Xu Xianchun asked the inner court accountant he brought to do the statistics, and at the same time tortured the Fan family members.
Xu Xianchun first asked Fan Ming: "Tell me, where else is your family's wealth hidden?"
Fan Ming hurriedly trembled and said: "No more! That's all. The students don't dare to hide the official."
Xu Xianchun nailed Fan Ming's left palm to the ground with a knife, then turned the tip of the knife: "To say it or not to say it?!"
"Ah! It hurts! I said, I said, there is a well in the West Garden. The well is fake. Going down from the well is a cellar with gold and silver in it, as well as some antiques and jades that will not be disposed of in the future."
Fan Ming screamed and spoke.
At that moment, Jin Yiwei followed Fan Ming's confession and discovered a large cellar under the well in the west garden. The cellar was magnificent and filled with large silver and gold ingots, as well as countless antiques and jades, all of which were shining brightly.
