"You are being slanderous. Our Fan family is an honest and trustworthy merchant. There must be some treacherous ministers in the court who are slandering His Majesty and framed my Fan family!"
"I want to see Zhu Tai and ask him to come and redress the grievances of my Fan family. I vow to find out this treacherous official who is confusing right and wrong, and restore the credibility and reputation of my Fan family for decades!"
"And you, as an army member of the imperial court, you did not go to kill the Tartars outside the pass, but you colluded with the traitors. Could it be that you have made achievements everywhere?"
"I have the reputation of being a civil servant, but you can't catch me without the arrest documents of the Ministry of Justice and the Cabinet, and with a forged handwriting."
"Leave quickly now. I can pretend that nothing happened, otherwise I will definitely impeach you before His Majesty!"
Fan Yongdou is not that stupid. Of course he will not admit these charges. Even if it is the emperor's handwriting, so what, do you have evidence?
I immediately asserted that this was a forgery, what can you do? Don’t you need other tokens to prove it?
As long as she could frighten the general and delay it, waiting for someone to go out and report the news, someone would come to protect him within a day.
If it had been in the past, Man Gui might have really been helpless towards such a so-called famous person.
But now, let alone a small official, even the first-level Jinshi of the current dynasty, as long as there is an order from the emperor, he dares to carry out it without hesitation.
"A businessman who can't even lift a knife and only knows how to talk, dares to talk nonsense in front of elites like me who have fought a hundred battles. If I don't treat you well today, I, the general, will no longer be in charge of the army."
"Take him and seal the store. Take all the account books, documents, letters, and people in the store. Don't miss anything. Check carefully!"
Seeing that these brutal-looking soldiers were about to rush over, Fan Yongdou immediately picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it out.
"What do you do to feed you? Why don't you let me take care of you!"
Of course, he was not talking to the clerks in the shop, but he was calling them the private servants of the Fan family.
There was nothing they could do without breaking their skin. There were several Mongolians hiding in the inner hall. They really wanted to search them all to see where they could hide.
At that time, no other evidence is needed. Just rely on him for harboring the Mongols, and he can be convicted of the Fan family's crime.
If he resists now, he will give the Mongols more time to escape.
As long as they don't get caught doing it, nothing will happen to his Fan family.
Even if he openly confronts the army and resists the emperor's order, there will still be room for redemption.
After all, their family is not a vegetarian in this court and place, and the gold and silver they give away every year are not for nothing.
When it comes to talking the talk, who are the officials’ opponents?
Fan Yongdou shouted, and the Fan family's private soldiers, who had been preparing behind the screen for a long time, immediately rushed out. There were more than twenty big men, all armed with weapons.
Just looking at their size and appearance, they are no weaker than Mangui's soldiers. They are all strong and tall young men.
Seeing that they dared to disobey the emperor's order, Mangui immediately shouted and asked:
"Be brave, give you a moment to take a breath, put down the weapons in your hands, kneel down and hold your head, this general will forgive your sins, otherwise you will be punished as treason!"
Fan Yongdou sneered at this. These people were all raised by his Fan family, and he was the only master in his heart.
Let alone an order, even if the emperor came in person, they would not listen.
"General Mangui, it's not that I want to disobey the imperial edict, but that you really have no basis. If you don't see the platform, I will never surrender like this."
"In that case, there's nothing more to say, just kill him!"
Mangui's soldiers immediately rushed forward with long swords in hand.
No matter how tall and powerful Fan Yongdou's servants and guards are, how can they be the opponents of these elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time?
What's more, there were only about twenty of them, and more than ten of them fell with just one hedge.
Fan Yongdou never saw such a bloody scene, and immediately asked two servants to help him go to the inner hall.
Now he didn't care whether the Mongolians had escaped. He didn't expect that these soldiers would dare to kill.
This was beyond his knowledge and understanding.
Fan Yongdou had completely angered Man Gui. After taking care of the servants of the Fan family, he immediately led people to chase them into the inner hall.
The frightened Fan Yongdou was climbing over the wall at this time, but when he saw the officers and soldiers coming, he fell off the two-meter-high wall without paying attention.
The envoy sent by Lin Danhan was also arrested on the spot by Man Gui. Now the evidence was conclusive, and Fan Yongdou's last hope was completely shattered.
There are countless acts of resistance similar to the Fan family in Zhangjiakou.
These people, relying on their family's wealth and power, are usually domineering and domineering people, and have long been accustomed to this kind of status and life.
After Ma Xianglin learned about it, he immediately sent more manpower to seize and seize various parts of the city, hoping to solve it quickly.
But his radical behavior did not achieve good results.
Those big businessmen didn't give him this face at all, and all of them clamored to see Chen Qiyu.
This quickly caused chaos within the walled city.
The remaining large merchants and generals in Zhangjiakou learned that the imperial court had sent soldiers specifically to attack them and took control of the military camp.
Immediately realizing that something was wrong, he immediately gathered his servant guards and other defenders on duty everywhere.
And very quickly connected other merchants and other unavailable officials.
When Ma Xianglin led his troops to the government office, all the defenders around the government office were holding bows and arrows.
Ma Xianglin immediately took out the emperor's imperial edict, stated his identity, and ordered them to put down their weapons.
But who would have expected that what he responded to was a volley of arrows. Ma Xianglin was unprepared, killing and wounding dozens of sergeants.
He couldn't hold back his bad temper and immediately became furious.
He picked up the horse in his hand and rushed towards the opposite side, killing three people in a row.
Then he shouted angrily:
"I'll kill them all without leaving any one behind!"
The cavalry behind him charged and smashed the ragtag group of people who had been put together temporarily into pieces.
Seeing that the situation was one-sided, the merchants wanted to flee out of the city with their gold and silver under the protection of the servant guards.
Unfortunately, it was too late by this time. Ma Xianglin's cavalry had already controlled the entire Zhangjiakou entrance and exit, and it was impossible for them to escape.
Seeing that there was no chance of escape, they finally lost their courage and knelt on the ground one by one, crying for mercy.
After solving the main resistance force in the walled city, the rest will naturally fall into place.
Ma Xianglin completely sealed off the entire Zhangjiakou on three floors outside and on the third floor, sealing up the shops of these big businessmen all night long.
