The guard walked towards the courtyard gate. The banging on the door and the shouting and cursing outside clearly indicated the arrival of a bad visitor.
The guard who came behind the courtyard door stretched out his hand and opened the courtyard door. At a glance, he saw that the evil guest outside the courtyard door was the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why he recognized the identity at a glance was because Jin Yiwei's clothes and weapons were easy to distinguish. In addition, he had seen Jin Yiwei before, so he could easily identify him.
"Is something wrong?" The guard looked at the Jin Yiwei knocking on the door and asked unceremoniously. The person who knocked on the door was a small flag officer of the Jin Yiwei. When he saw the door open and a man came out, he immediately said: "The Jin Yiwei is on duty, take us to find your superior officer." The person they came to arrest was the Tiger Flag officer. Envoy, so I know that this is the residence of the Tiger-Character Banner envoy team.
"Is something wrong?" The guard did not step aside or send a message to the guard in front of him, but asked again.
The little flag officer of the Jinyiwei suddenly became unhappy. He said: "Didn't you hear what you just said? We are the Jinyiwei, here to arrest the assassin who assassinated the Qing envoy. Now get out of the way. We are going in to arrest them."
"There is no assassin you want to catch here." The guard in front of the door said expressionlessly. Upon hearing this, the official of the Imperial Guard Xiaoqi's face sank and he scolded: "I'll give you the face to tell you directly that I'm here to arrest your bullshit envoy. Now get out of my way, or else I'll arrest you too." Si Dalao."
"Get out!" The guard in front of the door replied directly to him. With that said, there was only a bang, and the courtyard door was slammed shut again.
Seeing this, the flag officer of Jinyiwei took a few steps back, came to Xu Fu Qianhu's side on horseback, and said, "Sir, they actually resisted the arrest. Did they break the door open and rush in to arrest them?" Xu Fu Qianhu said. He raised his head and looked at the closed door in front of him, nodded, and said, "Bash the door!" The little flag officer of the Jin Yiwei turned around and called to his Jin Yiwei. He said, "Come over here and knock the door open." Although. There is nothing to break the door, but with a courtyard door like this, it can be easily broken open with a little effort.
Several Jinyi guards stepped forward and began to break down the courtyard door in front of them. At this time, many people watching the excitement had gathered nearby.
The Jin Yiwei arresting people can pass the boring time for the idlers in the city, and it can also add a new source of conversation.
"What happened to this family? Why did they recruit Jin Yiwei!" Some people who came later didn't know what was going on, so they asked the people around them.
"You didn't know that! This courtyard is inhabited by assassins who assassinated envoys of the Qing Dynasty. These royal guards are here to catch them."
"Oh, it turns out they are assassins! Good job. They should have been arrested long ago. I heard they killed a lot of people." At this time, someone else on the side answered: "Yes, they killed more than ten people." An envoy from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Fart, how could the Qing Dynasty kill so many envoys? The people killed were people in the Qing Dynasty's envoy team, and they were not more than ten, but more than thirty people."
"How come I heard there are only a few people!"
"You're talking nonsense. You killed hundreds of people. Even the posthouse is covered in blood. The people in the posthouse haven't wiped off the blood yet." A group of people each told their own news.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang! The large wooden doors of the yard were knocked open, and one of the wooden doors directly broke the hinge. The half-opened door fell towards the yard.
"Come in and arrest people!" the accompanying flag officer of the Imperial Guard shouted. A small flag officer of the Jin Yiwei who was closest to the courtyard gate took the lead in rushing into the courtyard, followed by many more Jin Yiwei who rushed into the yard.
The little flag officer of the Jin Yiwei, who was rushing at the front, had just raised his legs to cross the threshold of the courtyard gate, when his whole body suddenly seemed to have been froze by someone's immobilization spell.
A Jinyi guard who was following behind him didn't pay attention and bumped into him, causing him to stagger forward and take two steps before he could stand upright again.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly." The little flag officer of the Jin Yiwei shouted loudly, and at the same time he retreated step by step.
Fortunately, there were not many Jin Yiwei who followed him. After hearing his words, they all retreated to the steps outside the courtyard gate.
The little flag officer of Jinyiwei who entered the courtyard gate also retreated outside the courtyard gate.
"What's going on! Who asked you to come back!" The flag officer of the Imperial Guard outside the courtyard scolded with an unhappy look on his face.
The little flag officer of the Jin Yiwei said to him with a grimace: "There are fire guns, these people have fire guns." As these Jin Yiwei stepped back step by step, the mouths of several fire guns stretched out from the courtyard door.
The guard who opened the door before came out again. This time he had a blunderbuss in his hand.
"Whoever dares to break in again will be hit with a gun. If you don't believe it, just try." The guard looked coldly at the guards outside the courtyard.
Xu Fuqianhu, who was on horseback, also jumped off the horse at this time, hid his body behind the horse, only half of his head was exposed, and shouted to the people in the yard: "This is the capital of Ming Dynasty, you guys Do you know what trouble you will cause by doing this? I would like to advise you to put down the guns in your hands immediately, otherwise when the army arrives, none of you will survive."
"Are you allowed to confuse right and wrong and not allow us to protect ourselves?" As the words fell, Hong Chengchou walked out of the yard, stood behind one of the guards holding a gun, and stopped.
"Everything will be clear once you go to the Yamen. Could it be that the ambassador doesn't even dare to go to the Yamen?" Xu Deputy Qianhu noticed Hong Chengchou and knew that he was the ambassador of the Tiger-Character Banner envoy team.
However, after Hong Chengchou heard what he said, he laughed and said: "You have accused me of being an assassin before I even went to the Yamen. I'm afraid that I went to the prison of your Jinyi Guards, and I should have been arrested on the back foot." The tortures of your Jinyiwei have been imposed on me, and I don’t think I can withstand the tortures of your Jinyiwei.”
"The ambassador is an envoy. The Imperial Guards will not torture the ambassador. If the ambassador is worried, he can go to Yingtian Mansion. The victim has already gone to Yingtian Mansion to sue the ambassador. Regardless of whether the ambassador has assassinated the Qing envoy, he should go to Yingtian Mansion Yamen. That's right." Deputy Xu Qianhu said while hiding behind the horse.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "I am the victim. I believe that you Jin Yiwei know what you know, and you Jin Yiwei came here and wanted to take me to Jin Yiwei's prison. It should be the work of the person behind you. It's a pity that I won't go, and you should go back and tell the people behind you, because the trail will never be made public."
"I don't know what you mean, but you killed someone in the Qing envoy team. There should be an explanation. The ambassador should come with me!" Deputy Xu Qianhu still insisted on taking Hong Chengchou. Zhenfusi Dalao.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled and shook his head, then turned to his guards and said, "Ignore them, close the door. If anyone dares to break in, don't be polite, just shoot them dead." After that, he turned and returned to the yard.
