"Someone in Xujiazhuang Fort is secretly communicating with that Eunuch Li." Chen Daqing said.
After hearing this, Liu Heng pressed his fingers on the table, tapped it a few times, and then said: "I remember that the garrison of Xujiazhuang Fort was Pan Wanqian, right?"
"My lord remembered correctly, it was him. This man was once the head of Panjiazhai. When my lord wiped out Shi Yunhu and other bandits, he took refuge in the Tiger Flag." Chen Daqing introduced the origin of Pan Wanqian.
Liu Heng pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "So he can be regarded as an old man from the Tiger Flag. It's a pity that I haven't heard of his name in the past few years."
"This man has great ambitions but little talent. He has no ability and is greedy for life. If he hadn't defected to the Tiger Flag at the earliest, he wouldn't have been able to be a guard at Xujiazhuang Fort." Chen Daqing said.
Hearing this, Liu Heng said with emotion: "Not only him, but also some old people in the Tiger Flag can't keep up with us and can only be overtaken by latecomers."
"It's not your fault, my lord. It's because they don't have the ability and don't do things in a down-to-earth manner. Naturally, they have less opportunities to be promoted. Besides, our Tiger Flag is not a place where seniority is used." Chen Daqing said.
Liu Heng nodded lightly and said: "That's right. If you don't work hard, don't blame the opportunity for others. Let's talk about the person who secretly contacted Eunuch Li and Pan Wan. Does money matter?”
Although he asked this question, he was like a mirror in his heart. He knew that he came from Xujiazhuang Fort. It was difficult for him to have nothing to do with Pan Wanqian for such a long time.
"The people who went to meet Eunuch Li were all from Panjiazhuang and have been following Pan Wanqian. They can be said to be the people he trusts most." Chen Daqing said.
Liu Heng sighed.
Sure enough, the result was the same as he guessed.
Clenching his fists, he asked: "Besides Pan Wanqian, is there anyone else involved in this matter? It's not limited to Xujiazhuang Fort."
"It's hard to say, my subordinates haven't found any conclusive evidence yet." Chen Daqing thought for a while before saying.
After hearing this, Liu Heng frowned and said, "So there are others. At what level are they involved, in the military or local officials?"
"They all have it. Among them, the one with the highest level in the army is the camp commander of a supply camp." Chen Daqing said.
Snapped!
Liu Heng banged his fist on the table and said in a cold voice: "You really underestimated them. They even bribed a camp of the Tiger Flag."
"According to the news from my subordinates who were stationed in that supply camp, that camp is still hesitating, and it seems that it has not yet decided whether to surrender to the imperial court." Chen Daqing said.
Liu Heng snorted coldly and said: "No matter whether there is a decision or not, this person is not suitable to stay in the supply camp anymore. In this way, I will transfer this person in the name of the Military and Political Department so that you can continue to collect evidence. Once the evidence is confirmed , arrest people immediately.”
"Yes." Chen Daqing agreed, and then said, "Should we move together at Xujiazhuang Fort? The evidence of Pan Wanqian and some people in Xujiazhuang Fort has been collected and can be arrested at any time."
Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "Let's take action directly. All the people involved in this matter will be arrested without leaving any one behind. Remember to leave one point on the roster and hand it over to the attendant team."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Chen Daqing proposed to leave.
Liu Heng nodded.
Chen Daqing turned around and backed out of the signing room.
Wow!
Liu Heng slammed the teapot on the table to the ground, letting the boiled water inside flow all over the floor.
The guard guarding the door heard the sound and rushed in.
"I'm fine, you guys can go out!" Liu Heng waved his hands to several soldiers who entered the room, signaling them to leave.
Several soldiers exited the room.
Liu Heng leaned back on the chair and rubbed his temples on both sides with his thumbs.
With the Tiger Character Banner as big as it is today, there are still people who secretly want to join the imperial court. This is something he did not expect. Even though the Ming Dynasty has declined, it is still orthodox in the eyes of many people.
The Intelligence Bureau acted very quickly. As soon as Chen Daqing returned, he sent orders to take action everywhere.
Xujiazhuang Fort.
Pan Wanqian was sitting on the main seat in the dining room, accompanied by the heads of wealthy families in Xujiazhuang Fort on both sides, and each of them was accompanied by women.
Pan Wanqian was surrounded by hugs on the left and right, and there was a young woman on each side. She laughed sweetly from time to time and leaned against Pan Wanqian's body.
Moreover, the two women would put food into Pan Wanqian's mouth from time to time, or they would pick up wine glasses and feed them to his mouth.
"General Pan, this time it's all your fault. Don't worry, as long as it's done, your share, General, will never be missing." A squire sitting at the same table picked up the wine cup in his hand.
Pan Wanqian hugged the woman's hand and shook it towards her, and said drunkenly: "These are all trivial matters. As long as I say a word, nothing can't be done. Come on, bring me the wine glass. I want to drink with Master Chen." One cup.”
As he spoke, he dishonestly grabbed a handful of the woman next to him on her chest.
"General, you are so bad." The woman whose chest was grabbed shyly shrugged her shoulders, raised her pink fist and gave Pan Wanqian a shy slap.
The woman's behavior made Pan Wanqian laugh, and he once again grabbed the woman's chest with his right hand.
Bang!
The door of the dining room was suddenly violently knocked open from the outside, and then a group of soldiers holding firecrackers rushed in from the outside and surrounded the people at the dinner table.
"Bold, whoever let you in, get out of here." Pan Wanqian scolded these soldiers who suddenly interrupted his meal with a stern face.
The squire named Chen echoed: "Even if you dare to barge into General Pan's banquet, you really don't understand any rules. You should be dealt with properly."
However, the soldiers who broke into the dining room did not move at all. Instead, they raised their bayonets and pointed them at the people on the table.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Get out." Seeing that no one obeyed his orders, Pan Wanqian's face immediately darkened and he cursed unceremoniously.
In Xujiazhuang Fort, his garrison is the Tu Emperor. No one dares not to listen to whatever he wants.
"Pan Shouwei is so majestic."
As the voice fell, a person walked in from outside the door.
"Captain Qin, what do you mean?" Pan Wanqian saw that the person coming in was one of his subordinates and a squadron leader of Xujiazhuang Fort.
Qin Zhong snorted and said coldly: "Pan Wanqian, the guard of Xujiazhuang Fort, colluded with the local squires, oppressed the people, and forcibly occupied other people's farmland. Under the orders of the military and political affairs department, Pan Wanqian was captured and escorted back to Datong Town for interrogation and arrested. .”
With a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed towards Pan Wanqian.
Pan Wanqian himself was not good at martial arts, and he spent most of his life enjoying himself in these years. He was more than three times fatter than when he was in Panjiazhai in the early years.
Facing the menacing tiger-character flag soldiers, even if they tried their best to resist, they could never break free.
