"Jinyiwei?"
Lu Chong was stunned, and then looked at Shen Tao with confusion and asked.
Shen Tao also looked at the sound in surprise, and then murmured:
"How could it be! This is a desolate place outside the city. Even if his royal guards happened to pass by on patrol, why would there be so many people here?"
"Do you still have to ask?"
"I must have targeted you early!"
"We're just waiting for everyone to come and attack us."
Lu Chong said as he pulled out the match rope and threw the blunderbuss on the ground:
"What bad luck! I shouldn't be greedy for your money."
"Rebel!"
"Not only did they hold me hostage, and wanted to extort money from my family, but now they even want to kill other scholars, and do so in broad daylight!"
"Fortunately, the emperor's troops sensed it in time, otherwise I would really let you, a traitor and a bandit, get your fill!"
Shen Tao pointed at Lu Chong and cursed loudly. He also pulled out the scribe's sword, pointed at Lu Chong and shouted: "I'll capture you quickly!"
Lu Chong was stunned for a moment and asked Shen Tao: "Are you scolding me?"
"Who are you showing it to?"
"The one I'm targeting is you, Shen Tao and Shen Xiaolian, the great-grandson of Duke Shen Wensu, the former right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
Jinyiwei Baihu Shishiyong walked over and said something speechless, and then came to Fu Zhicheng: "No vital injuries, carry him down immediately for treatment and try to save him!"
Then, Shi Shiyong picked up the bird gun on the ground.
Shen Tao looked at Shi Shiyong in surprise, and denied cunningly: "No, this emperor's messenger, I don't know who you are talking about."
"You don't have to quibble. There are so many tricks happening in the Confucian Temple all at once. How can the guards in my station not be surprised and report it?"
"Therefore, if the factory owner has an order, send more people to follow, be prepared to arrest him if necessary, and report immediately in case of emergency."
"And among these scholars, you are the only ones who have not prepared for the exam. You have nothing to do with sending people to contact some soldiers and homeless people. You are a dignified person, you talk and laugh with scholars, and there are no white men in your interactions. You have never taken Wu Bian seriously. Why do you want to contact soldiers, Han and homeless people when you have nothing to do?"
As Shi Shiyong spoke, he observed a gun in his hand and gave instructions to the accompanying Jin Yiwei:
"It is recorded in the eucalyptus that the murder weapon was a bird gun No. 1536 made by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry in the third year of Wanli."
After saying that, Shi Shiyong said again: "I didn't expect that you suddenly colluded with a group of robbers. You came here, prepared to rob, and even kill people. The people who killed Huangzhuang simply didn't want to let anyone go." We, Jin Yiwei, are having an easy time, right?"
"Fortunately, as soon as the spies reported back, I brought people over quickly, and I didn't even take a few bites of the meal; otherwise, according to the level of killing three traitors, who were still the orphans of Zhonglie, I would have lost the hundreds of households I managed to get in with!"
Shi Shiyong said and looked at Lu Chong: "And you, which battalion are you from?"
Lu Chong knelt down and said, "Shuai Ti, please spare my life. I am commanding Lu Chong under the command of Mr. Yang of Changping Prefecture."
"Recorded in Eucalyptus!"
Shi Shiyong gave the order and then asked Lu Chong: "How much money did he give you?"
"Five hundred taels, kill them, and add another five hundred taels."
Lu Chong said.
Snapped!
Shi Shiyong immediately whipped Lu Chong with a horsewhip: "Damn it, it's just one thousand taels!"
"When did I, Jin Yiwei, offend your uncle?"
"Do you know what your nature would be if you really killed three people on this road today?"
"According to the edict just issued to protect the lives and property of our country's people, if there is a theft incident that kills three or more people or the loss of people's property worth more than ten thousand taels of silver, it will be regarded as a major theft incident and you will be directly responsible. The official schools and palm seal officers on this road will have their bonuses and half-year salary cancelled, and if the real culprit is not found within a year, they will be dismissed."
"For these one thousand taels, you actually want to cut off my Jinyiwei's financial and official roads! If your border troops from Changping Prefecture make trouble in the future, don't blame me, Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, for being ruthless!"
Shi Shiyong started talking.
"Spare your life! I won't dare to do it next time!"
Lu Chong kowtows like pounding garlic.
Shi Shiyong chuckled and said, "Do you think there will be a next time?"
Shi Shiyong then ordered his subordinates: "Remember, Changping Prefecture General Banner Yang Siwei's General Banner Lu Chong colluded with Xiaolian Shen Tao, pretended to be a thief, and robbed and killed the academician of Xingming Academy!"
Shen Tao was also detained at this time.
Shen Tao also panicked at this time and said: "Let me go! I am willing to give out two hundred thousand taels of silver to all the Tishuai."
Shi Shiyong laughed again and looked at Shen Tao: "Why can't I, the Jinyiwei, make money and make contributions by the way?"
Shen Tao: "..."
"I know that you scholars hate the factory guards, but there is no need to really cut off each other's wealth. It is too ignorant to rob the capital."
"However, it's not surprising. Those who know good from evil will be greatly favored by preparing for the exam."
As Shi Shiyong spoke, he took Shen Tao, Lu Chong and other criminals and escorted Fu Zhicheng and others out of here.
In the ice and snow near Marco Polo Bridge in Gyeonggi Province.
At this time, Qin Zhihong also organized a group of unemployed vagrants as thieves, and said to several scholars and their followers who came overland from Baoding Prefecture for reference:
"Pick up the guys right away and rob them, and you'll make a fortune!"
"My parents (the county magistrate), I have already said hello to you, and I will keep them until you finish the robbery, and then the officials will come! It doesn't matter if someone is killed. When the time comes, we will report it to the water bandits who suddenly appeared! It is necessary to be in advance. The official letter prepared to report the water bandits for theft shall be used as evidence!”
"With your words, I feel relieved!"
A gangster named Wang Gui started talking with a smile. He first pulled out a waist knife, stared at the women accompanying the scholars and licked his tongue.
"Tin Xiaolian, since you want to imitate Gao Dutang, Gao Xinzheng's younger brother, and live your life as a hero, you should also inform me, Jin Yiwei."
But at this time, a large group of royal guards suddenly came over and surrounded these homeless people. Among them, Wang Tingshu from a hundred households even smiled and talked to Tan Hongzhi.
During the Ming Dynasty, many people from the landlord class, because their families were wealthy, studied not only literature but also martial arts, so many scholar-bureaucrats also liked to do heroic things.
For example, Gao Gong's younger brother Gao Jie liked to rob business travelers when he was young. He began to restrain himself after at least becoming a Jinshi and began to seriously serve as an official.
Therefore, Wang Tingshu compared Gao Jie, who had served as an official to the censor of Qiandu, with Tan Hongzhi at this time.
Tan Hongzhi looked at his servant Tan Er, tightened his clothes, raised his beard and hair and said, "How dare you betray me!"
"Master, calm down!"
"The problem is that you didn't ask the little ones when you did this life-threatening thing!"
Tan Er explained with grievance and fear.
"Slave bitch!"
Tan Hongzhi's voice was as loud as thunder, and he directly pulled out the knife held by a first-class citizen to cut down Tan Er.
jump!
Tan Hongzhi's sword was blocked by Wang Tingshu's sword.
Then, Wang Tingshu shouted to these homeless people: "Kneel down, throw your weapons aside and accept the surrender. If you surrender, you will not be killed!"
】
"Kneel down quickly!"
Wang Gui hurriedly looked at the other homeless people and gave instructions.
So, all the homeless people who came with Wang Gui knelt down and threw their weapons aside.
At the same time, Tan Hongzhi was also detained by Jin Yiwei.
When Wang Tingshu saw that all the weapons of these vagrants were taken away by the Jin Yiwei, he said: "Kill all these people with evil intentions! In order to avoid being deceived and robbing passers-by again, and cutting off the wealth of you and my brothers! Kill them cleanly. !”
"yes!"
Phew!
Wang Guixian was hit by a knife, and he had to point at Wang Tingshu:
"You, didn't you say you wouldn't kill me if you surrendered?"
Wang Tingshu sneered, and came over to snatch the official letter from Tan Hongzhi's hand. He also touched Tan Hongzhi's body. Soon he found the Weeping Temple Inscription, read it again, and then asked in a stupefied voice:
"I don't understand. You keep saying that you are being unfair to the people of the world, but why are you doing things that are hurting the people?"
