The patrolling officers and soldiers found the courtyard where the Tiger Flag envoys rested.
The reason why it can be found so accurately is because the sound of gunshots was heard in this area, and this is the only place with bright firelight at night, while the neighboring courtyards are completely dark.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"People inside open the door!"
The person who knocked on the door was a probationer, and he slapped the door knocker hard with his big hand.
"The people collecting the corpses are here. Let someone open the door!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.
Yang Jiachen arranged for a guard to open the door.
The gate of the yard is made of wooden bolts. As long as the wooden bolts are pulled out, the gate can be opened directly.
The guard quickly opened the door, his face flushed by the torches brought by the officers and soldiers.
"Why did it take so long to open the door!" the deputy manager outside the door said as he walked inside.
Before he could walk in, he was stopped by the guard who opened the door.
"What? Do you want to rebel?" Shi Baihu was about to get angry when he suddenly noticed that the person who stopped him had a fierce look on his face. He was startled and the leg he stepped out subconsciously retracted.
Then he realized that he was embarrassed in front of his men, and then he raised his finger and pointed at the nose of the guard inside the door, and said angrily: "I think you are the traitor who fired the blunderbuss. Come on, arrest this traitor." .”
Upon hearing the order, the officers and soldiers behind him stepped forward with weapons in hand to arrest people.
At this moment, the muzzles of two fire guns suddenly pointed at them, and at the same time, two more people came out of the yard at the gate.
"You, do you want to rebel? Hurry up and put away the guns." Baihu hid behind an officer and said nervously to the person at the door of the courtyard.
Firearms are also dangerous to soldiers, and concealing firearms and armor is the same crime.
When Shi Baihu saw that the people in the yard actually had two fire guns, he broke into a cold sweat.
Anyone who dares to openly point firearms at officers and soldiers in a place like the capital, and has even fired muskets, is one who is not a member of the government, but is the most vicious person among the murderers.
Facing such a cruel master who dared to reveal his firecracker casually, his legs began to tremble.
I regret not finding someone to replace me tonight.
The officers and soldiers outside the door were not stupid either. No one dared to rush up at this moment.
Although there were not as many fire guns inside the door as there were them, at such a close distance, as long as the guns were fired, at least two unlucky people would be hit by the guns.
Being a soldier is just to make a living so that you don't starve to death. It's okay to bully those who are easy to bully, but it's okay to fight hard.
"Why haven't you brought anyone in yet?" Yang Jiachen's voice came from the courtyard.
The guard standing in front of the gate looked at the officers and soldiers outside and asked, "Who is your leader?"
No one spoke.
However, the eyes of the officers and soldiers outside the door were all focused on the tester.
Naturally, Shi Baihu noticed the gazes of his men and cursed in his heart, but still said to the people inside the door: "You'd better put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise when the brigade of officers and soldiers arrive, you won't be able to reap the benefits."
"You, come in with me, our deputy envoy wants to see you." The guard in front of the door pointed at the tester who was hiding behind the person.
"Deputy envoy? What deputy envoy!"
Zhi Baihu was stunned for a moment, and the first thought in his mind was that he had found the den of a certain cult.
"We are a team of envoys from the north, not rebels." The guard explained expressionlessly.
Maybe others would call them rebels in the past, but they never thought of themselves as rebels, only as righteous teachers.
"Envoy team!"
Zhan Baihu muttered something in his mouth, and quickly realized that the most talked about in the city recently was the team of envoys from the Tiger Character Banner, and they had just entered the city during the day.
I didn't expect that he would forget such an important thing.
Thinking of this, he was not so afraid.
Since the other party is a team of envoys, even if it is a team of envoys with the Tiger Character Flag, they will not attack the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, at least not easily.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you! Go in!" The guard in front of the door gestured in the direction of the yard.
Shi Baihu walked out from behind the officers and soldiers he was hiding in, and followed the guards in front of the door into the yard.
The remaining officers and soldiers were still left outside the door.
After entering the yard, the trial household discovered corpses on the ground by the light of the fire.
I gasped in my heart.
I didn't expect that these people were really murderous and actually dared to kill people in the capital. At the same time, I was glad that I didn't mess around, otherwise there would be another body of my own.
"Futai, deputy envoy, we have arrived." The guard saluted Hong Chengchou and Yang Jiachen, then gave up his position, leaving only one person from each of the trial families.
"General, I have seen the two envoys." Baihu quickly stepped forward to salute.
Even if they are envoys from other forces, they are not something that he, a small trial household, can provoke. They can kill him with their casual words.
Hong Chengchou looked at him and said in a warm tone: "Don't be afraid. You are an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty. You represent the Ming Dynasty. No one will do anything to you here."
"Yes, yes." Shi Baihu responded twice.
Whoever makes the other person taller can naturally say what he wants.
Hong Chengchou did not continue to comfort him, but pointed to the corpse not far away and said: "Tonight there are assassins coming to assassinate my envoy. The corpse on the ground is the assassin who came to assassinate me. You should go and take a look first!"
"Yes." Shi Baihu agreed, turned around and walked towards the corpses.
He may be afraid of the murderer, but he is not afraid of the dead body left behind.
Coming closer, he bent down and looked at one of the corpses.
When he saw the bare head of the corpse, his heart suddenly exploded.
He was very familiar with this kind of head.
Except for the saints in the temple, no one would have such a head, and the long, rat-tail-like braid on the back of the head is enough to prove the identity of the corpse.
In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, he checked the remaining corpses one by one, and finally confirmed that the owners of these corpses were indeed those from Liaodong.
Such a distinctive head is so easy to identify.
And he didn't feel that these people had been manipulated.
Not long after he heard the sound of the cannon, he brought his people over, and even if someone did something, it would be too late.
Moreover, several of these corpses had a layer of short hair on their heads, which could not be achieved in a short time by manipulation.
"Reply to the two envoys, I will finally finish reading."
After examining the corpse, the test hundred households returned to Hong Chengchou and others, and said respectfully.
"Now that the bodies have been identified, please take all these bodies back!" Hong Chengchou said.
After hearing this, Baihu was stunned.
He hesitated and asked: "Really let the general take you away?"
