"who?"
Hearing the voice, Xiong Wencan frowned and turned to stare at the side of the city gate tower. The right hands of the Yanshan Guards beside him were already on the light knives on their waists.
Chen Qian waved his hand. He felt like he had heard the voice before, but he couldn't remember where.
They were all curious as to who could get up to the city gate tower under the guard of several sergeants.
As soon as he finished speaking, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked over slowly from the corner of the city gate tower.
"Ren Qianhu?"
Looking at the middle-aged man, Chen Qian let out a low breath, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Then he introduced to Xiong Wencan: "Director Xiong, this is Ren Peng from Jinyiwei Prison, known as the Black Hand Butcher!"
“I’ve heard about the famous name for a long time!”
Xiong Wencan was also shocked and responded politely.
A thousand households are only the fifth grade, and they are in the same world as him, a feudal official. But if it is a thousand households of the emperor's confidants, Jin Yiwei, then it is a different matter.
What's more, Qian Hu, the core member of Jinyiwei, is in charge of the imperial edict. He may not be as good as him in terms of strength and status, but his appearance basically means that the emperor has walked.
I just don’t know how the city of Nanjing appeared.
"Just came back from Linshan!"
This simple sentence made Xiong Wencan and Chen Qian suddenly realize, but a trace of doubt arose again.
If you don't go back to Beijing after finishing your business, what are you doing in Nanjing?
Xiong Wencan asked in a low voice: "Ren Qianhu was in Yao County and then came to Nanjing. Did any Japanese pirates from Linshan explain some issues about Nanjing...Jiangsu?"
"Indeed, this is why I came here."
Ren Peng responded, but glanced at the surrounding guards.
Chen Qian waved his hand, and all the Yanshan guards retreated.
Ren Peng lowered his voice: "Linshan captured more than thirty people alive, don't tell me, these lurking Japanese pirates are really tough-talking, I personally used five or six types of punishments before I opened my mouth.
According to their accounts, there are a group of Japanese pirates hiding in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Anhui, ranging from two to three hundred to as many as five or six hundred, with the majority in Fujian.
Because it is close to Taiwan, there are merchant ships and navies from the Netherlands and Spain as cover.
There are also more than 400 people here in Jiangsu. Their main purpose is to wait for an opportunity to excavate the tomb of Taizu and destroy the Ming Dynasty dragon vein.
Oh, by the way, there are also more than a hundred people in Fengyang, Anhui. The main purpose is to destroy the tomb of Emperor Chun (Zhu Yuanzhang's father) and cut off the place where the Ming Dynasty Longxing was established. "
"This bunch of bitches have terrible intentions!"
Chen Qian was furious: "Ren Qianhu, where are these bastards? I will personally lead people to catch them. If I catch them, I will break all their bones and then kill them!"
"have no idea!"
Still Peng waved his hand and said with some helplessness: "The Japanese pirates in each province are contacted by middlemen, and orders are transmitted from Fusang.
These people who were caught only knew roughly, but they really didn’t know where exactly it was.
But based on my guess, it must be a place with complex terrain, so easy to hide and easy to escape. "
Xiong Wencan trembled all over, his face as gloomy as a black cloud. Still Peng mentioned four...five places, and three of them were under his control.
Before he became the governor of Anjiang, he was the governor of Fujian. There were more than a thousand Japanese pirates in the three places. Once an outbreak broke out, how many innocent people would die?
What is even more frightening is that the Japanese pirates in Anhui and Jiangsu are so frantic that they want to destroy the imperial mausoleum and destroy the dragon veins.
If this was known to the officials, all three of his clans would be killed, and all the graves of the nine clans would be dug up.
When he thought of this, Xiong Wencan seemed to be able to feel the emperor's wrath.
"You two, we have to consider this matter in the long run. Either we don't do it, or if we do it, we have to catch them all, so as not to alert the snake and make this group of people crazy and ignore it.
If he risked his life in Nanjing, the consequences would be huge! "
Ren Peng's slightly heavy words made the angry two people calm down instantly.
If more than four hundred people sneaked into Nanjing City to riot, no matter how quickly the city guards reacted, at least two to three thousand people would be killed or injured.
Or he could sneak into the surrounding cities and wait for an opportunity in the middle of the night to massacre at least half of the city.
After thinking for a while, Chen Qian looked at Still Peng: "Ren Qianhu, it's okay to go to Jiangsu. The main thing is Fengyang, the central capital. I have to trouble you to go there in person."
"How to say?"
"It's like this. Governor Xiong has used the Ningyuan Investment Conference to spread the bait..."
In just a few breaths, Chen Qian explained the strategy, and Ren Peng nodded repeatedly.
Then Chen Qian continued: "There shouldn't be much of a problem here in Nanjing. Taizu's imperial mausoleum is guarded by Xiaoling Guards. I will go to the imperial mausoleum later and discuss it with the commander of Xiaoling Guards. The outside will be loose and the inside will be tight."
"Now that we have dropped the bait, we will see if they bite the hook. As long as they bite the hook, we will be able to catch all the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
If they can be caught alive, they will be tortured and interrogated to find out where the remaining people are hiding.
Then the news of the captured Japanese pirates will be announced to alert the snake. Three situations will occur if this is done:
First, they got into trouble and were noticed by the people we arranged in advance to catch them.
Second, risk everything and attack the imperial mausoleum. If you dare to go there, you will definitely die without a burial;
Third, continue to hide and be more cautious, expecting a fatal blow.
The first two are okay, they are just temporary pain, but the latter is the biggest headache. "
The three of them nodded in unison.
Poisonous snakes are not scary. The scary thing is that poisonous snakes hide in dark places and you don’t know when they are going to bite you.
I don’t even know if they will instigate rebellion against the people.
Ren Peng touched his chin, his eyes flashing: "Based on my experience in interrogating so many Japanese pirates and analyzing anti-Japanese files for so many years, Japanese pirates tend to go to extremes, especially when they are in desperate situations.
This is used to vent the anger in the heart and obtain psychologically abnormal pleasure.
Therefore, there is a high probability that they will make a desperate move. One is that we have caught him alive, and they are not sure that everything they have hidden has not been revealed.
Secondly, as soon as this matter comes out, Jin Yiwei will definitely investigate it closely. No matter how deep it is hidden, some things can be found. It's just a matter of time. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to put all the effort in. "
"Okay, since you have a plan here, I won't stop here and go to Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, to check the news first.
If there is a fish on your side that takes the bait, remember to leave some alive, and then notify me to come for interrogation and squeeze out as much information as possible.
As for Fujian and Shandong, I have sent people to inform Commander-in-Chief Sun of Denglai and Commander-in-Chief Yu of the Marine Corps. Jinyiwei has also sent people to conduct secret investigations in the two places.
Here in Nanjing, you should check it secretly first! "
After Ren Peng said this, he clasped his fists, turned around and left, very simply.
Looking at Ren Peng's leaving figure, Xiong Wencan let out a long sigh of depression: "Commander Chen, please take a trip to Taizu's Imperial Mausoleum.
At the end of the afternoon, we will recruit the commanders of the guard station stationed in Nanjing to discuss important matters. You should come too! "
