Borrow the day to change the day

The Baigan Army quickly took over the governor's yamen, and Zhong Jinwei sat in the lobby of the yamen and waited for officials from Xuanfu City to come and report.

Not long after, officials from Xuanfu City rushed over one after another.

When they saw white sergeants lined up on both sides at the door, holding long white spears and looking murderous, they felt that the atmosphere of this meeting might not be very friendly.

When all the officials came in by name, the white pole army did not stop them at all, standing there motionless like a statue, allowing these officials to walk into the yamen from among the soldiers.

After these officials entered the yamen lobby, they saw a young man sitting in Zhongcheng's seat, and behind him were two male and female generals.They knew that this was the Commander Zhongxing Hou and Ma Xianglin and General Zhang Fengyi mentioned in the Di Bao.So, hurry up and see you.

Zhong Jinwei didn't say a word, he just let them go and let them go.

It's just that when a general came to visit him, Zhong Jinwei was quite surprised. He asked, "Kong Guerrilla, you should be in the capital, why did you go back to Xuanfu?"

When he was in King Qin's camp last time, he found that Jianlu Xizuo had contact with him, so Zhong Jinwei recognized him.

"Back to Marquis Zhongxing, Marshal Hou thought that the Xuan Mansion was the head of the Nine Frontier Army towns, and there might be accidents without a general guarding it for a long time, so he sent the last general back." Kong Fang clasped his fists and replied Zhong Jinwei seemingly confidently. [

Jianlu must have activities here, otherwise he would not use the name of his family, but he was not found to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so Zhong Jinwei just asked this question and left him alone.

Seeing that Marquis Zhongxing stopped asking questions, Kong Fang stood aside.He felt a little uneasy, he had already received reports from his subordinates that the people of Marquis Zhongxing had taken over the four city gates, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

About a quarter of an hour later, the book office left by the governor's yamen whispered beside Zhong Jinwei that everyone had arrived.

Zhong Jinwei stopped pretending to be cool, and said to Ma Xianglin, "Let them hear the imperial decree."

When the civil and military generals heard this, they hurriedly stood a few steps forward, stood according to their official positions, and bowed their heads facing Zhong Jinwei to listen respectfully.

They heard the imperial decree explaining that Zhong Jinwei went out to do business, and gave Shang Fangjian the right to make decisions on the fly, cut first and play later.Immediately let them intuit that Marquis Zhongxing is here to handle important matters, and they can't help but feel panicked. All fools know that this is definitely not a good thing.

Zhong Jinwei looked at these officials in the hall, and glanced over one by one, and found that the eyes of these people showed a little panic.

He reckoned that these people might not be clean, and now he was afraid that the court's previous amnesty to the world would not count, and they would settle their accounts after autumn.

After Ma Xianglin finished reading the imperial decree, Zhong Jinwei said: "I am a straightforward person. Ming people don't say dark words. As long as you behave well, as long as your previous affairs are not particularly bad, you will not be pursued."

These officials knew in their hearts that the court said that it was forced to pardon all the previous crimes, not to mention that it said that if the circumstances were particularly serious, they would still be held accountable.As for how serious it is, it is not the court's final say.

Now that the imperial envoy and Marquis Zhongxing said this in person, they felt a little more relaxed. As long as it wasn't about going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of ​​fire, they made up their minds and prepared to cooperate with Marquis Zhongxing.

Therefore, they expressed their opinions to Zhong Jinwei one after another, with only one central idea, as long as Hou Zhongxing told them to go west, they would never dare to go east.

There is only one exception, and that is Wang Kai, the household doctor.He had just captured Zhongxing Hou's entourage early this morning. Although he didn't have a badge, he knew that he was definitely not a fake.

Unexpectedly, Hou Zhongxing appeared in Xuanfu City so soon, which surprised him and felt a little bit of fear. He made up his mind to insist that the man was an impostor, at most one crime of negligence.In the future, I must quickly notify Zhangjiakou to kill those people, and come to a deadly confrontation, lest other things be known by the court.

Zhong Jinwei pressed his hands to silence those who were vying to express their opinions, and then said: "The Jianlu were originally barbarians in the poor mountains and bad waters of Liaodong. The imperial court's blockade policy was to trap them to death. Bring peace to Liaodong." [

The officials were taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Hou Zhongxing mentioned Jianlu outside the pass.

"There have been years of natural disasters, and the outside of the pass is no exception. But why is Jianlu still living happily, and even has enough energy to attack Daming?"

Zhong Jinwei's voice was not loud, but there was a majesty in it.He didn't have such arrogance before time travel, it may be that after coming to the Ming Dynasty, he has been in a high position and has the aura cultivated by mastering the life and death of others.

"Jianlu invaded Gyeonggi this time, massacred the city and plundered people, and all the crimes and pedestrians were outraged. Behind Jianlu, there were traitors. They funded food and weapons, sold military information, led the way for Jianlu, and even cooperated with Jianlu to attack Daming City."

When he said this, many smart people among the officials had already contacted the current situation in Zhangjiakou, and vaguely knew the purpose of Hou Zhongxing's visit here.

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he also took a look at a middle-aged man in a fifth-rank official uniform standing in front, Wang Kai, a household doctor, and found that his head was lowered, and his sleeves were shaking slightly.

Zhong Jinwei snorted inwardly, and continued: "I am ordered by the emperor this time to dig out the cancerous tumor on Daming's body, come here."

Two soldiers with white poles came up in front of the hall, and Zhong Jinwei replied, "Yes."

Zhong Jinwei ordered in a cold voice: "Take down Wang Kai, the household doctor."

When they entered by roll call just now, the white-armed sergeant in front of the hall had already recognized that it was Wang Kai, so he went up and grabbed the man by the shoulder.

Wang Kai was taken aback for a moment, then struggled and shouted, "Why arrest me?"

Zhong Jinwei didn't bother to answer his words, but just clapped his hands.

After receiving the signal, Yu Haijing turned out from the back hall with Guitouqi and others who had just surrendered, and stood on the side under the case table.

Yu Haijing said to Wang Kai: "You have committed a crime by selling military supplies to Fan Yongdou and Jianlu."

Wang Kai took a closer look and saw that the Jinyiwei Baihu who spoke turned out to be Fan Yongdou's confidant, and Yu Haijing, who often delivered supplies with him, turned pale with shock and stammered palely: "You, you, you"

He thought that Yu Haijing was the secret work of the Jinyiwei faction from the beginning, so everything he did was known to the court.

Zhong Jinwei interrupted him: "The crime of supporting the enemy and betraying the country is not an example of the emperor's pardon. The emperor gave me the Shangfang sword and the imperial decree, and I have the right to kill him first and then play it. Come on, go out and chop him up."

When the two white-armed soldiers heard this, they grabbed Wang Kai's arm and dragged it away.

Wang Kai didn't expect that Zhong Jinwei would kill as soon as he said so, so he quickly twisted his body, trying to struggle out of the control of the two soldiers, and shouted to Zhong Jinwei: "My lord, I have something to say, if you want to kill me, you can't kill me alone. The lower officials have to make meritorious service, and the lower officials have to report.”

The two soldiers were both strong and strong men, so how could a frail scholar be able to break free? They dragged Wang Kai out without hearing Zhong Jinwei's follow-up order.

Seeing this situation, the civil servants and military generals below understood that Zhong Jinwei wanted to kill others, and at the same time, he would not pursue this matter further, otherwise he would not have killed Wang Kai under such circumstances, and he couldn't help but sweat for himself.

The hall was quiet, without a single sound.Everyone in the hall could hear Hubu Langzhong's dying voice outside, but it was suddenly interrupted, and then a soldier came up to the hall, presenting Wang Kai's death-defying head.

Zhong Jinwei has experienced several wars and is immune to dead heads.He said: "Let all the adults see if I killed Wang Kai."

The soldier took the plate of Sheng Wangkai's head and walked up to each official, asking them to take a look.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the bloody faces of these officials, glanced at Wang Kai's wide-eyed head, and quickly averted his eyes. He knew that his bold behavior had shocked them enough.

"Marquis Zhongxing, we will report at the end." Kong Fang suddenly came out to speak, breaking the suffocating atmosphere in the hall.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Kong Fang playfully, wondering what he wanted to report.

"After listening to what Zhongxing Hou said just now, the general was enlightened. There are still merchants in Zhangjiakou who are doing business outside the customs. The general thought they were trading with the Mongols, but now he understands that they must be doing business with Jianlu, just like Fan Yongdou. There must be many acts of capitalizing on the enemy and traitorous country!" Kong Fang was very angry, as if he understood the righteousness and was at odds with the traitors.

From Zhong Jinwei's words and deeds just now, he accurately grasped the main purpose of Zhong Jinwei's coming to the Xuanfu, and understood why the car that Zhongxinghou was holding the military salary was actually empty.

The purpose of the imperial court at the beginning was to come to these businessmen who were doing business with Jianlu, but now they have reported it first, stating that they did not know that they were actually doing business with Jianlu, and only by breaking away from this vortex of right and wrong can they avoid danger.Otherwise, judging by the actions of this Lengtouqing of Zhongxing Hou, I am afraid that he will kill all the people here who have an affair with Jianlu, whether they are businessmen or ordinary people.

The left-behind counselor and sub-inspector deputy envoys naturally understood Kong Fang's intentions. They also had the same idea as Kong Fang, and it was important to keep themselves first, so they made similar statements one after another.Some thick-skinned people even said that the old man Zhongxinghou came when he had already discovered the illegal behavior of those traitors and was about to arrest them.

Merchants are rich, they buy officials, collusion between officials and businessmen, and make the camp under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu into their sphere of influence, ordinary people really have nothing to do.

But now the imperial court wanted to deal with them, and they first coerced and subdued the officials. In order to protect themselves, these officials reluctantly gave up their property, and betrayed the merchants with a backhand, which was also expected by Zhong Jinwei.

As soon as the country strikes hard, these forces that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people will immediately become a thing of the past.

Seeing that this group of people were so knowledgeable, Zhong Jinwei nodded with a smile and asked them to report their names one by one.

The names of Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa and others were reported to Zhong Jinwei one by one.

Zhong Jinwei had already known the eight most famous businessmen from Yu Haijing's mouth, and now that the names mentioned by these officials also included these people, he knew that he must be right.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei ordered Kong Fang to mobilize the army to search the houses of the traitor businessmen living in Xuanfu City, and put some white soldiers in each team to supervise them to prevent them from playing tricks.

For a while, the soldiers who had just been replenished by Kong Fang in various ways drove out of the military camp in Xuanfu City.
