Liu Heng took a sip of water and asked again: "Has there been any news from Liaodong?"
"Not yet." Yang Yuan shook his head slightly, and then said, "Our Tiger Flag has made such a big fuss in Datong. It is impossible for the slave thieves in Liaodong not to know about it. My subordinates suspect that the reason why they did not take action is probably It’s because Guan Ning’s defense line is solid and Ming Ting’s good generals are in charge, so the slave thieves have no chance of winning.”
Liu Heng nodded lightly.
"My subordinates have told the people below to keep an eye on Liaodong and report back as soon as there is any news." Yang Yuan added.
Liu Heng nodded.
Zhang Sancha on the other side had already led people to the county government office where Dai Wang was imprisoned.
"Where are those people from Prince Dai's Mansion detained?" Zhang Sancha asked the soldiers guarding the county government office.
The soldier said: "Dai Wang's family and clan are all imprisoned in the backyard."
"I didn't ask them. I asked about the maids and eunuchs in the Prince's Palace, and the cooks?" Zhang Sancha asked again.
The soldier said: "The county government office is limited, and everyone else in Dai Wang's Mansion has been imprisoned."
Zhang Sancha, who was walking inside, stopped, turned around and said, "Take me to the prison."
The prison is also in the county government office, just another courtyard.
The soldier who led the way took Zhang Sancha to the prison.
Outside the cell, there were also soldiers guarding the tiger-character flag, and there were also a small number of jailers working in the cell.
A corps commander who was guarding the prison came up to him.
"Bring out all the people from Dai Wang's Palace in the cell. This is the owner's order." Zhang Sancha said straight to the point to the team leader guarding the prison, and at the same time took out the order.
The corps commander took the order and glanced at it, then turned and said to the soldier next to him: "Bring all the people in Dai Wang's Mansion out of prison."
The soldier led two guards into the men's prison, and another soldier ran to the women's prison to deliver the order.
Zhang Sancha walked to a bench in the prison nearby and sat down.
I saw a teapot and several porcelain bowls on the table.
My mouth happened to be a little dry, so I reached out to pick up the teapot, poured a bowl of water into one of the porcelain bowls, drank it all in one gulp, and then wiped the water stains on my mouth with my hand.
The men's and women's cells in the prison were separated. Zhang Sancha came to the men's cell, while the women's cell was on the other side, farther away.
Two guards from the men's prison followed a soldier.
After entering the cell, one of the jailers curiously asked the soldier walking in front, "Master, who is that person outside? His aura is very unusual."
"He is the deputy division chief of the First Soldier Division." The soldier walking in front said casually as he walked forward.
The two jailers following behind looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
In the past, their impression of Hu Zi Qi was just a business. Later, they learned from the officials above that Hu Zi Qi was a rebel traitor. However, after the fall of Datong City, the prison was occupied by Hu Zi Qi.
The jailer working in the prison began to care about the situation of the Tiger Flag.
After a whole night and most of the day, the slightly attentive jailer had already learned about the official status of the Tiger Flag from the soldiers guarding the prison.
I know that in addition to Liu Heng, the bandit leader, Shi Zheng is the general who commands tens of thousands of troops in the Tiger Banner. Although the deputy Shi Zheng is not as good as Shi Zheng, he is also a great official in the Tiger Banner.
Among the people stationed at the prison in the Tiger Banner, the highest-ranking one was just a corps commander, with about ten people under his command, similar to the chief commander of the Ming army and the ten-captain commander of the Beibei army.
"This assistant master is coming to the prison to meet the eunuchs and maids of Prince Dai's Mansion. Master, do you think he is trying to rectify the entire situation in Prince Dai's Mansion?" the jailer asked curiously.
"I heard that His Royal Highness and the Princess are being detained in the county government office, and the clan members are also there." Another jailer said from the side.
The soldier walking in front turned back and glanced at the two jailers behind him, and said seriously: "You only need to obey the order, and don't ask about other things."
The two jailers hurriedly stopped talking.
Although I was curious, I didn't dare to ask anymore. After all, they were not members of the Tiger Flag. They were left to continue working only because the prison was short of manpower.
"Go, open the cell door." The soldier walking in front stopped and said to the jailer who was following.
The two jailers each walked to a cell, opened the lock on the cell door with the key in their hands, pulled out the iron rope tied to the cell door, pushed the cell door open, and then stepped aside.
The two cells that were opened contained more than 20 eunuchs from the Prince's Palace.
Facing the opened cell door, the eunuchs in the cell looked outside curiously, but no one dared to walk out of the cell door.
"Come out and follow us. Someone is here to pick you up." The jailer shouted to the eunuch in the cell.
The eunuchs in the cell hesitated for a moment, and then some eunuchs began to walk out of the cell door, and the other eunuchs followed.
The eunuch who was the first to walk out of the cell looked nervously at the jailer outside the cell, and asked in a hoarse voice: "May I ask this cell leader if the imperial army entered Datong City and wiped out the rebels in the city. "
"You fucking don't want to live anymore. You are rebels. They are rebels." The jailer raised his leg and kicked him, and even cursed loudly. At the same time, he did not forget to take a sneak look at the Tiger Flag soldiers behind him.
Seeing that the Tiger Flag soldiers who came with him were not angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be implicated by the brainless eunuch in front of him.
"The Donglin Party has controlled the government for so many years, and Wei Wei was not able to clean up the Donglin Party members in the government so quickly." Liu Heng said nonchalantly, and then asked, "Is there any news from Shaanxi?"
"There has been no news from Shaanxi recently." Yang Yuan shook his head and said immediately, "But now Shaanxi has become a powder keg and may explode at any time."
Liu Heng said: "Fire is cooking oil, and I don't know who lit the fire first."
Both generations of King Chuang were from Shaanxi. He had always paid attention to this place, wanting to see when a civil uprising would start in Shaanxi.
He couldn't remember the exact time of the civil uprising, but he knew it should be within the past few years.
"Shaanxi has suffered from successive disasters, and people are selling their sons and daughters. Just like this, various official and miscellaneous taxes have only increased but not decreased. I can't imagine how the people there live." Yang Yuan said with emotion.
With the Tiger Flag in Datong, the people's lives would be much easier, but in Shaanxi there is no big business like the Tiger Flag that provides jobs for many people.
Some are just squires who exploit the people and swallow up their fields.
If there is no natural disaster, it will be fine and we can barely survive. But if there is a disaster, the people's lives will only get worse and worse, and the longer they live, the less likely they are to survive.
Liu Heng said: "Shaanxi is keeping a close watch. Once there is a large-scale people's uprising, the news must be sent back as soon as possible."
"I understand." Yang Yuan nodded.
The Tiger Character Banner has already rebelled in Datong. If there is a bandit in Shaanxi, it can share the pressure on the Tiger Character Banner. The advantages to the Tiger Character Banner outweigh the disadvantages.
