I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 81
At this moment, a servant came into the hall to report that Yang Yishan wanted to see him. Xiong Tingbi knew that there must be a result and called him in immediately.

Yang Yishan entered the main hall and was startled when he saw Yang Lian there. Xiong Tingbi saw his hesitation, stroked his beard and said:

"There is no need to worry. Mr. Yang is an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. It is okay for him to know."

Yang Yishan felt relieved after hearing such a statement, and directly handed the file in his hand to Xiong Tingbi for him to review, and then explained:
"Since the last report, I asked Jin Yiwei's brothers to keep an eye on the Zhang family day and night. Sure enough, we found out the clues. It turns out that they have been secretly connecting with Jianlu for a long time. Today, I followed the lead and personally led people to find the Jianlu stronghold. , were arrested and interrogated overnight, and all of them were attacked before they could resist.

It turned out that Zhang's family had been in contact with Li Yongfang for a long time, and they often informed Jianlu through letters.This year's siege of Puhe was only possible because Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Shaoyun's younger brother from the Zhang family in Shenyang, secretly informed Jianlu of our army's movements and informed Jianlu of our army's movements in advance.

Zhang Shaojie not only tipped off the news, but because the Jianlu were short of food, weapons and armor, they saw a profit, so they secretly sold their own grain and purchased ordnance to the Jianlu. "

After hearing this, Yang Lian couldn't help but wonder. I heard that the areas around Shenyang and Fengjibao had deep ditches and thick walls, and the court conducted strict inspections. How did they trade?

When Yang Lian asked, Yang Yishan patiently explained:
"They were also smart. They bought several houses in some villages bordering Jianlu, and each time they secretly put these materials in the cellars of the houses. Then Jianlu came to catch the autumn breeze. They only had to dig cellars, so there was no need. The contact is very convenient.”

"With so much food and supplies, and being transported like this, I'm afraid there are people in their army who are covering them."

Xiong Tingbi nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Yes, but this time I just caught them all!"

"This is indeed the case. The sins of this family are really heinous and unbearable. I interrogated the Jianlu and found out that these were the few times they were entrusted by Huang Taiji, the fourth Jianlu.

It said that before the spring plowing in February or March next year, Jianlu planned to attack Shenyang. At that time, he hoped that the Zhang family could team up with the people who had surrendered in the city. It would be best to secretly open the city gate and cooperate with the inside and outside. "

"It's too much to bully people. Although the court treated the Liao people poorly before, it has always treated these wealthy families with preferential treatment. Now it colludes with foreign enemies, intends to rebel, and sells out for glory. It is really intolerable.

But this is also good news. We already know the news about Jianlu's attack, but we are not sure where his main attack direction is.Now that we know it, let’s eliminate the traitors and strengthen the defense. "

Xiong Tingbi heard this and couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table and yelled angrily. Then he turned to Yang Yishan and gave instructions.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to show mercy to such ambitious people. They should be arrested directly with thunderous means. However, it will take time to mobilize troops. The Zhang family is deeply rooted in Liaoyang, so we cannot act rashly now."

Yang Yishan and Yang Lian also knew that they had to be fully prepared for this matter and not act rashly.Xiong Tingbi also stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, considering how to act.

"The arrest can only be made by foreign generals. Here in Liaoyang, in the name of protecting pay, I can ask the Sichuan and Zhejiang troops stationed in Hupiyi to come to Liaoyang to arrest Zhang Jiajia advocate Shao Yunzhi and others.

He Shixian and You Shigong from Shenyang are both from the Yansui Army. I can write a letter of resignation and ask him to arrest Zhang Shaojie and others.

It will take at least two or three days for the government and army to dispatch this news.As for the Jin Yiwei, they should keep a close eye on the Zhang family these days and report any unusual movements at any time. "

Yang Yishan immediately took the order and left. Yang Lian felt relieved when he saw that the arrangement was very thorough and there would be no mistakes.Then he smiled at Xiong Tingbi and said:
"Fei Bai, if you're really sleepy now, just give me a pillow. Just now we were lamenting that there was no land for farming, but now we have it."

Xiong Tingbi understood the words and burst into laughter.

"The Zhang family is immoral. They occupy nearly a thousand hectares of fertile land in Liaodong and have many settlement households. Now they want to cause chaos, so they will confiscate all of it and use it for settlement."

Immediately, Xiong Tingbi asked someone to bring pen and ink to write a letter to He Shixian explaining the situation in person, asking him to directly inspect Zhang Shaojie's residence in Shenyang, and not to let go of the families who were friendly with him. If there was resistance, he would be punished as treason.After writing it, he immediately called his close associates and asked him to hand it over to He Shixian in person.The city of Liaoyang has become more and more lively. The Sichuan and Zhejiang troops were naturally happy and silent when they heard that military pay was being issued. With money and food in hand, they did not panic.

It is now November, and I am taking advantage of the opportunity to buy myself some winter clothes and food so that I can have a good New Year.Some people have received salary but don't want to spend it. They want to save it and send it home to buy some clothes for the mother-in-law and children at home. Thinking of this makes their hearts warm.

There are also people who are rich now but drunk now, and plan to take their salary and go to the famous Goulanwa House in Liaoyang to have a good time.

Inside the Liaodong Capital Division, Zhejiang Army Commander-in-Chief Chen Cechuan and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tong Zhongkui were called in by Xiong Tingbi as soon as they arrived. After some explanation, they learned that in addition to paying their salaries, they also had an important task: to seize people's homes and ransack them.

This made them very excited. These wealthy people looked down on them and made things difficult when handing over supplies. Now that it fell into their hands, they could naturally manipulate it.

"We will take action tomorrow. We will divide the elite troops into two groups. One will go to Zhang's Mansion and directly ransack the house. The other will come to the Mansion and capture the Zhang family in the Yamen. We are afraid that some bad guys will cause chaos by then, but the whole city is under martial law. If anyone Those who want to take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble will be punished as causing chaos."

"Order!"

On the second day, Shenyang and Liaoyang acted simultaneously.

At this time, Zhang Shaoyun was leisurely listening to his newly married concubine play a little tune. He asked someone to buy it from Suzhou and Hangzhou for 1 taels, so it was of course very precious.At this time, he was sitting in the rocking chair, his eyes were blurred, and he was beating the beat in his hands, feeling very contented and happy.

Suddenly a rapid knock on the door, accompanied by the butler's call, interrupted the song.

"Master! Master!"

"Something bad has happened. Many officers and soldiers suddenly came outside. They said that the Zhang family was planning to rebel. Now they have been ordered by Governor Xiong to ransack their home."

After Zhang Shaoyun heard this, he felt like a thunderbolt had hit his head, his head was buzzing, and he was in a panic.However, he also knew that once the incident happened, he knew that he would not be able to escape, so he quickly stood up from the rocking chair, trembling, and said to the housekeeper:
"Where are the young masters? Let them leave through the secret passage quickly."

"It's too late. The officers and soldiers moved very fast and couldn't stop them. Now they have rushed to the backyard. The eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master have been arrested. They are expected to be here soon."

As he said this, he heard the shouts of officers and soldiers in the distance.

"Hurry up, don't let Zhang Shaoyun escape!"

"Search everywhere and don't let anyone go."

"Everything must be registered and counted one by one!"

When Zhang Shaoyun heard that, his limbs felt cold and cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. He knelt down and couldn't move. He only had one feeling in his heart: The Zhang family was finished!
