Chapter 1017 Fan Wencheng Wants to Live
Hearing this, the subordinate in charge of guarding the perimeter quickly replied: "I saw him alone at that time, and there was nothing else."

But Fan Wencheng was not at ease, turned his head to look at the strong man, sneered and said: "Friends, you'd better tell the truth about how many people have come, otherwise you will tear your face and suffer!"

"Bah!" The brawny man yelled angrily, "Who is friends with you bastards! I tell you, we have a lot of people here this time, since you bastards have thrown themselves into the trap, why don't you Don’t even think about escaping from the prison again!”

His words made the faces of these traitors look ugly.For a while, none of them could figure out whether this strong man came by himself, or if he really came with a companion.

Fan Wencheng's face was gloomy, and he ordered several men to search around, and then said to another person: "Serve him well, let him confess honestly!"

"Hahaha, do you think I'm a group of boneless things like you?" The brawny man heard this, without any fear, and roared loudly, "Come on, what tricks do you have, use all your tricks on me, if I make a sound, He is not a good man in the world!"

At this moment, even Fan Wencheng seemed unwilling to meet the man's eyes, and just waved his hands to torture him.

And not very far from here, in a mud hole downhill, curled up to hide from the thin man, thanks to his figure, otherwise a strong man would not be able to hide at all.

At this moment, he burst into tears.

Just before, he was accidentally discovered by those thieves. It was the eldest brother who asked him to hide, but he himself showed up to attract the attention of those thieves.What the elder brother said now is actually telling him again, reassuring him that he will not say it even if he dies.

I must survive, I must report this situation to the gang leader, the dog thieves have come to Yongping this time, there are still many people, and there are horses, this matter must be wanted in the whole rivers and lakes, and the government will definitely not let them go .This time, no matter what, we must catch them, avenge the eldest brother, and avenge those Han people who were killed by them!

At this moment, in his mind, he never thought about catching these thieves and making profits for his gang.

That night, the dog thieves quietly searched around several times, and even once, they all stood on the top of the slope where he was hiding.But after all, they didn't find it. It wasn't until it was dusk that the group of thieves rode south.

The thin man didn't show up right away, his experience in the world told him to be cautious.When these traitors are resting at night, they are all guarded very covertly, so they must be very cunning people.

Sure enough, he was not wrong, after a while, the sound of horseshoes went and returned, and after going around in a circle, he went south again.

The thin man waited until the sun was high and felt that the traitors would not return before preparing to leave the cave.But at this moment, his hands and feet were already cold and numb. After recovering for a while under the winter sun, he was able to stumble and stand up.

Immediately, he looked for his elder brother.There is no accident, the elder brother proved that he is a hero in the world. After the roar last night, there has been no sound, even though those traitors left so many scars on his body and used so many methods, but the elder brother, until death Not a single sound was made, let alone begging for mercy.

The thin man knelt down next to the strong man's corpse, stretched out his hand to close the big brother's angry eyes, choked up and swore: "Brother, rest in peace, I will remember your hatred and your family's hatred Yes. I will report to the letter first, and I will not let those traitors escape, I swear!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the strong man's body with some reluctance, turned around resolutely, and stumbled towards Yongping Fucheng.

At the gate of Yongpingfu City, several soldiers guarding the gate were leaning against the wall for warmth in boredom.Suddenly, there was a person outside the city who was almost crawling towards the city gate. The leader looked at him carefully and couldn't help laughing: "Look, isn't that Hou San? He probably spent a night in the wilderness. They are all frozen like that bird, haha!"

When the other soldiers heard it, they looked out and laughed too. Seeing the purple lips, it seemed that their teeth were still fighting!

"Quickly, please take me to see my lord, there is a big reward!" Hou San shouted hard, but fell to the ground again, but immediately got up tremblingly, and came to the city gate, "Five taels of silver, pay immediately !"

He knew that these soldiers would not help if they did not give benefits.The government will not take care of the matters in the Jianghu hunting order, but the man is a traitor, so it is possible to take care of it.But the efficiency of the government is too low, and when the government reacts, those traitors don't know where to go.

Hou San naturally didn't know that the factory guards had already mobilized in a big way, just to avoid alarming the enemy, except for asking the Ax Gang to issue a Jianghu order, the yamen on the surface did not issue a wanted arrest.Otherwise, they are afraid that Fan Wencheng and others will run away as soon as they see the notice once they enter Daming territory.

When the leader heard this, he was quite surprised, five taels of silver, that's a lot!He asked two of his men to go down to help Hou San, but he stood there and asked, "Hou San, what happened to you? Let me tell you, we can't participate in gang grievances."

"I have met the traitors in the killing order. If I don't report to the gang leader immediately, those people will run away." Hou San replied quickly.

The order to kill in the Jianghu is not a trivial matter, and these soldiers have all heard of it.When the leader heard it, he immediately understood what it was, and his face immediately showed surprise, and he asked quickly: "But that traitor Fan Wencheng?"

"Exactly, help me with this, all the money I saved will belong to you." Hou San almost begged, "My elder brother was killed by a traitor outside, and he is still waiting for me to collect the body!"

The leader originally wanted to confirm again, but when he heard it now, he no longer doubted it, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Come here, help him and follow me!"

"Brother, what about this city gate?" Someone saw it and asked quickly.Now that he is on duty, one less person is not a big deal.However, the leader is not here, and a few were taken away. If the higher authorities pursue it, it will be a big trouble.

But the chief officer didn't seem to care at all, he just replied: "You can do it by yourself!"

After speaking, he turned and left.After walking a few steps, seeing that Hou San was still not walking fast despite being supported, he immediately ordered: "Hurry up, carry him on your back and follow me."

Hou San was puzzled, so active, it seems that the silver has played a role.

However, he immediately realized that the direction seemed to be wrong. He was walking towards a house near the city gate, so he hurriedly said, "I'm going to see our leader, you're going in the wrong direction!"

The officer ignored him, walked quickly to the door, broke in directly, and stopped respectfully after reaching the yard, and shouted inside: "My lord, there is news of Fan Wencheng's traitor!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a person jumped out of the room, looking very capable, staring at the officer, and asked with a little surprise: "Where is it?"

"He saw it." The officer immediately turned around and looked at Hou San, and then reminded Hou Sandao, "This is Mr. Liu of Jin Yiwei. He has been waiting in Yongping Mansion for a long time. There is news of Fan Wencheng's traitor. Tell me quickly. There must be no concealment!"

Hearing this, Hou Sansan was taken aback. He didn't expect that he was a member of the Jinyiwei, and his arresting ability was much higher than that of his own gangsters.Immediately, he told the story from beginning to end, and carefully described the image of Fan Wencheng and others and their final whereabouts.

After hearing this, Lord Liu of Jin Yiwei didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered the officer to call for someone, and then said to Hou San: "Can you persist? Only you have seen those people, and I am afraid that you will come with us Go catch the criminal."

At this time, Hou San was actually in a very bad state.In such a cold day, I stayed in the wilderness for a day without moving.But when he heard Jin Yiwei's words, he nodded quickly and said without saying a word: "It's okay, I can do it. I can recognize those traitors at a glance!"

Not long after, a group of people suddenly appeared in Yongping Mansion, apparently all belonged to Jin Yiwei's gang.They took Hou San out of the city and headed south.With the help of Hou San, he took the brothers in the gang to bring the strong man's body back to the city.Looking at the strong man who was tortured and tortured, and listening to the situation reported by the gatekeepers, almost all the Jianghu gangs in Yongping Mansion sent out their own capable experts, and used their own channels to spread a war to the entire Gyeonggi. big net.

A little later, even Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City got the news in the chat group.

This big traitor has really come to pass.That being the case, I don't believe it anymore, I can still escape.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order to step up inspections at the northern border gate, so that no one could be smuggled out of the gate.Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi in the Gyeonggi area tried their best to search for Fan Wencheng's whereabouts.In the chat group, directly inform Wu Ergou to mobilize all the forces he can mobilize, and must capture Fan Wencheng, and make sure he wants to live!
All of a sudden, the rivers and lakes were turbulent, and a large number of people from the rivers and lakes passed by in a hurry, looking at everyone with unkind eyes.People who didn't know the situation thought there was a gang struggle, and they all carefully avoided these people from the rivers and lakes.But they are also a little strange. In the past, if these people from the Jianghu made too much trouble, the government would immediately suppress them.But this time, it seems to be different. The government has not responded to this situation for a long time.

Even if Fan Wencheng died, he would never have imagined that the world would move for him.At this time, because of the abnormal situation on the side of Yongping Fucheng, he ran a long distance to Kaiping County, which is far away from Yongping Fucheng, for safety reasons.
Although this county is located on the official road between the capital and Shanhaiguan, it is not large in scale and is from a small county.Fan Wencheng learned the previous lesson, when he went out, he tried his best to behave like a monk, and he didn't dare to be careless again.

Here, he saw the Kaiping Branch of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Kaiping Children's School. He patiently and carefully inquired about the news, and finally he figured out many things that happened in the Ming Dynasty.

No, three nights later, in a small temple wing outside the city, Fan Wencheng, who had placed the order here, calmed down, as if he was meditating and thinking for a long time.It wasn't until late at night that I cleared everything in my mind, and immediately began to write vigorously with the help of the light of the oil lamp.

In the letter, he described the changes in the Ming Dynasty that he had inquired about in the past few days.From the Ming Dynasty's national policy of opening up the sea to the reform of the military system of the guards, from the establishment of the Copyright Patent Office, the invention of cement, to the appearance of the steam engine, as well as banks, banknotes, etc., he has written in detail, even I didn't have enough letter paper to write, so I asked my staff to go to the temple's rotating monk to ask for some.

At the end of these observations, Fan Wencheng commented with an extremely serious face: "If the national power of the Ming Dynasty continues like this, it will become stronger and stronger. If there is no civil strife, our Qing Dynasty will have no chance! Therefore, the servant plans to risk his life and go to the capital. Let’s go there to see if there is any chance to provoke the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to provoke the relationship between the various factions in the Ming Dynasty, and to disrupt the Ming Dynasty, so as to create an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty. Currently thinking, there are the following strategies!"

"First, although the science and technology knowledge of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is good, it harms the interests of the current scholars. Therefore, the slaves plan to start from this aspect, stir up the scholars to make trouble, and oppose this technological policy. heart of!"

"Secondly, no matter what the result of imitating the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty will always doubt the credibility of the banknotes. When using the banknotes, they will be suspicious and make the financial strategy of the Ming Dynasty not run smoothly. This will affect people's livelihood and affect the border."

"Thirdly, the Ming Dynasty is reforming the military system of the guards. Where there is innovation, there will be those who have vested interests and those who have lost interests. The slave thinks that if there is any opportunity for those who have lost interests to vent, they should be able to It hinders its innovation. Military and state affairs can still restrain the energy of Ming monarchs and ministers."

"Fourth, the Ming Dynasty's policy of opening the sea greatly damaged the interests of the former smugglers, and the hostility with the Western Yi also added opponents to itself. The slaves are preparing to teach in the capital, so they will go to the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast. Opportunity to contact. Make the merchants who smuggled in Nanyang communicate with our Qing Dynasty, and make Xiyi and our Qing Dynasty form allies and form an anti-Ming alliance!"

"..."

Fan Wencheng was thinking of ways to deal with the new policies of the Ming Dynasty one after another.It has to be said that although some methods are unreliable, such as counterfeiting banknotes, it is impossible to forge them based on Fan Wencheng's ability, but some of his strategies are still threatening.

For example, the matter of colluding with smuggling businessmen from the southeast and Xiyi.Those smugglers don't care about the country at all for the sake of profit. As long as there are enough benefits, they don't care whether their compatriots live or die.And once they get in touch with the Dutch, I am afraid that the Dutch will also cooperate with the Manchus.

When Fan Wencheng stopped writing, he looked at the stack of densely packed letter papers, stretched his waist involuntarily, looked up, and before he knew it, it was already dawn.But no matter what, it was finally an explanation to the emperor.

When he was about to call his men to come in, he heard the faint sound of horseshoes coming from outside.

　Thanks anniexie for the reward!
