"The assassins turned into caravans and marched towards the capital in twenty-six days!"
In what was originally He Guangyi's official room, now he is the guest and Zhu Yunxi is the host.
Zhu Yunxi showed no emotion on his face and listened silently to He Guangyi's report.
"The person who assisted them was Zhang Baisheng, the general judge of Yingtian Mansion!" He Guangyi's voice was not loud, but he ensured that the emperor could hear it clearly, "The customs clearance documents and household registration documents they used along the way were all genuine and came from...
..”
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi interrupted He Guangyi, "How many officials in the capital are involved?"
"In addition to Zhang Baisheng who clearly knows about this, there is another person..." He Guangyi glanced at Zhu Yunxi's expression, "The patrol army is in charge of thousands of households, Zhaoyong Colonel Shao Lin!"
"What's the relationship between them?" Zhu Yunxi asked again expressionlessly.
"Zhang Baisheng is fifty-three years old, and he claims to be an old subordinate of Duke Xin!" He Guangyi continued without thinking, "In fact, he and his father were both subordinates of Shao Rong, the rebellious minister, and his father was Shao Rong's relative.
After Bing Shaorong was questioned, his father was implicated and executed. He followed the others and was sent to the command of Duke Xin!"
"Shao Lin is the grandson of Shao Rong!"
Another old thing!
Who is Shao Rong?
When the old man had just surrendered to the army of King Chuyang, who was Zhu Yunxi's grandmother's nominal father, Guo Zixing, Shao Rong was already the second-in-command under Guo Zixing. Later, Guo Zixing died, and Guo Zixing's son and brother-in-law also died in the rebellion.
Among them, Shao Rong was naturally recruited by the old man.
However, this is only the official statement.
The real situation is that in the Huaixi Red Scarf Army, which was still under the control and canonization of King Xiao Ming at that time, the old man and Shao Rong were once equal.
Even after the old man later broke away from the regime of King Longfeng Xiaoming and became independent, Shao Rong was still ranked in Pingzhang. Within the scope of the old man's influence at that time, there were only three people in Pingzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Shao Rong.
Even Li Shanchang doesn't have that kind of honor.
Not even that kind of strength!
This period of history was a required course for Zhu Yunxi in school.
The reason why the old man gave preferential treatment to Guo Zixing's second-in-command was to smoothly digest the remaining members of Guo Zixing. At the same time, Shao Rong was also a highly prestigious senior in the Red Scarf Army. He was also the leader of the Huaixi Martial Arts Group and the Longfeng Group at that time.
The link of communication.
Because fundamentally speaking, the old man's team belongs to the branch of the Northern Red Turban Army.
But such a person is not willing to be inferior to others. And the reason why the old man became the absolute leader of the Huaixi martial arts group is by no means as simple as a few strokes in the history books.
Yuan Dynasty, twenty-three years of Zhizheng period.
Shao Rong was killed for the crime of treason!
It is said that some people said that Shao Rong was innocent at that time, but does it matter whether he is guilty or not?
It is said that the old man was wavering on whether to kill Shao Rong at that time. After all, this man was once his immediate boss and was also the last face in Guo Zixing's army.
It is said that the old man wanted to imprison him to death!
It is said that at that time, Chang Yuchun shouted directly in front of the old man, "If Shao Rong's rebellion succeeds, will we still be alive? Will he let go of our wives, relatives, and even his generals...?"
"
The final word was that Shao Rong died and his son was sent to the army.
At that time, the old man was not as ruthless as he would be in the future, and he still retained some incense towards the old man.
Unexpectedly, the incense he left that day almost killed Zhu Yunxi today.
"One is Shao Rong's old subordinate, and the other is his grandson. It makes sense that they are colluding with each other!" Zhu Yunxi was silent for a long time and then said, "As expected, since these assassins are from Guizhou, they should be Shuixi Jingluo, the people of the Yan family!"
He Guangyi possessed him, "Yes! The soldiers of the Yan family of the Yan family! They are not in the military register. They are said to be soldiers, but they are equivalent to the slaves of the Yan family. Their whole family relies on the Yan family's appearance to survive. Let them Give them life and they will live; let them die and they will die!"
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi said lightly, "In this way, the truth of this matter has been revealed!"
He Guangyi didn't dare to accept these words.
~
The hereditary border towns of the Ming Dynasty were actually not only the Mu family in Yunnan, but also another Shuixi Economic Envoy in Guizhou, the Yan family.
In later generations, probably during Bijie's generation, the Shuixi Meridian was an important transportation route for entering and even controlling Yunnan.
General Yan Qian, the first generation of the Yan family's Shuixi strategy, Zhaoyong, also has another identity, Shao Rong's cousin.
When the old man just joined Guo Zixing's command and was just a top soldier, Yan Qian became the Zheng Qianhu under Shao Rong, and then followed Shao Rong and accompanied the old man to attack Yingtian Mansion.
Shao Rong is the political official of Pingzhang, and Yan Qian is the commander of Yingtian Mansion.
Then Shao Rong was questioned, and Yan Qian was assigned to serve as a soldier under Mu Ying.
This man is also a strange person. After great ups and downs, he has achieved great military exploits. He even saved Mu Chun's life on the battlefield and made Mu Chun his adopted brother. Later, Mu Chun recommended him, and he was able to sit in Shuixi and become a hereditary priest. Lue, taking charge of the military and political power of a border area.
In the 26th year of Hongwu, when Yan Qian died of illness, Muchun was deeply saddened, and the imperial court also posthumously awarded Yan Qian the title of Bijie City God.
To be fair, Yan Qian made great contributions to Guizhou. It was because of him that the local barbarians could live in peace with each other and the native officials submitted to the imperial court.
Another admirable thing about this person is his loyalty.
In the second year of Hongwu, Yan Qian was transferred to Ankang and met Shao Zuo, Shao Rong's son, who was sent to the army.
He was grateful for the kindness and family affection of his cousin Shao Rong when he was a boy, so he decided to replace Shao Zuo with his eldest son Yanxiang.
This kind of loyalty moved the old man.
Then not only Shao Zuo was pardoned, but he was also allowed to continue to stay in the army. Until the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Shao Zuo died in battle, and all his sons were granted the title of hereditary Zheng Qianhu due to their merits.
Now that Yan Qian has passed away, it is his second son Yan Wen who inherits the title of Shuixi Jinglue. The rest of the Yan family are also hereditary military officers. They can be said to be rare generals outside the Huaixi martial arts group.
"The person who can dispatch the Yan family and the Shao family to do such a big thing... Haha!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled bitterly, "You should be able to think of who it is, right?"
Suddenly, He Guangyi knelt on his knees and kowtowed, "I don't dare to think about it!" He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious. Is there any other secret?"
Zhu Yunxi stood up slowly and said with a wry smile, "I have offended many people, so many people have reasons to want to kill me. I have thought about whether it is those Jiangnan aristocratic families, or local officials from various places? Or even the remnants of Goryeo? Are there people from Burma? But I never expected that...the people who want to kill me are actually my relatives..."
"Your Majesty!" He Guangyi choked, "People's hearts are separated from each other..."
As he said that, he was suddenly startled, stood up and hugged the shaky Zhu Yunxi directly, "Your Majesty!"
Plop!
Zhu Yunxi sat weakly on the chair, with wet eyes, "I am just angry when outsiders want to kill me. But I...will never tolerate the betrayal of my relatives!"
Then, he opened his eyes and looked at He Guangyi, "Where is Shao Lin?"
"Guo Guanseng went to arrest him just now!"
"Quick!" Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth and said.
But the next second he was a little confused, if he really got the answer he wanted.
How should he face it?
~~
Bei'an Street, Shao Zhai.
Compared with the numerous venerable mansions around Bei'an Street, Shao's house is as shabby as a country bumpkin.
In the main hall, a burly man sat nervously in the Grand Master's chair. His whole body was wrapped in iron armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
His eyes were full of fear but also a trace of determination...
At this moment, there was no one except him in the house, which was not big but definitely not small.
His family members and servants have been dismissed.
But where to go now, he is not sure.
Suddenly, his big hand tightly grasped the spear in his hand, and he slowly stood up.
Look warily in the direction of the door.
~
"Shao Lin?"
"Um!"
"My name is Guo Guanseng, and I'm here to arrest you!"
"Um!"
In the yard, the two people stood face to face, several meters apart.
Suddenly, Guo Guanseng frowned slightly, looked at the Jinyiwei musketeers standing on the roof and the wall, and said sternly, "Aim, don't hit me!"
All the musketeers were stunned, wondering why Master Tongzhi spoke like this on such a serious occasion.
"Do you know why I came?" Guo Guanseng asked again.
"Yeah!" Shao Lin nodded.
"You didn't expect me to be so fast, did you?"
"I didn't expect that the leader of Jin Yiwei would be a talkative person!"
"Ha!" Guo Guanseng smiled, "No, I'm just curious about you..." He said, looking straight at the other person, "Do you regret it? You should regret it, right?"
"I've done everything, what's the point of regretting it!" Shao Lin sneered, "I, the descendants of the Shao family, will avenge our ancestors and die without regrets!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Guo Guanseng gave him a roll of his eyes, "That's right, Ling Ran! Why didn't you repay it before? Ha, you didn't think of it before?" He said, taking two steps back, "It's not that you didn't think of it.
Don’t dare, someone has promised you a generous reward now, so you are putting all your efforts into it!”
"Yeah, yeah, that should be it!" Guo Guanseng took a few steps back, "You are not a particularly courageous person, are you?"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated..."
"Don't get excited!" Guo Guanseng said with a smile, "People like you are just fierce in nature! If I were you, instead of worrying so much about whether I would be caught or not, I might as well wipe my neck clean myself. At least I would suffer less.
crime!"
"I don't dare to commit suicide, and I can't escape even if I run away... Oh, how difficult it is!"
"I will hold you on my back even if I die!"
As he spoke, he stabbed with the spear in his hand.
"Wait, don't take action yet!" Guo Guanseng shouted and retreated again, "Don't shoot!"
There was a commotion among the musketeers on the roof.
Shao Lin held up the spear, hesitant.
"I said no shooting, what are you doing?" Guo Guanseng suddenly pointed to the eaves behind Shao Lin and said, "Put down the blunderbuss, hurry up! Put it down!"
"This guy...is such a criminal!"
Shao Lin cursed in her heart, but couldn't help but look back in the direction where Guo Guanseng was yelling.
~
Bang! A gunshot.
Ah! A scream.
With a clang, the spear fell to the ground.
Shao Lin covered her thighs, rolling on the ground and wailing.
"call!"
Guo Guanseng blew the fire gun in his hand, shook his head and said, "I didn't want to hit you, but you suddenly turned around. I couldn't resist such a good opportunity!" He said with a smile, "Sorry, I originally wanted to.
I hit you on the arm, but I didn’t expect to hit your leg!”
"It's so damn...wuwu..."
Watching Shao Lin being tied up and gagged.
Guo Guanseng sighed, "All the Jinyi Guardsmen are fucking lunatics. I have been here for a long time, so he has learned to be crazy!"
