Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 63
Under the cover of night, a corner of the city gate to the south of the capital slowly opened, and four young men in the special livery of Yongchang bank led a horse wrapped in cotton cloth out of the city gate.

The young man in the lead didn't say a word, but with a hint of excitement on his face, after leaving the city, he got on the horse vigorously with several others, very skillfully, and immediately rode away with the whip.

When the captain at the city gate saw him, he couldn't help saying to the person standing beside him: "Master Han, you fellows are very skilled!"

"Hehe, I'm honored!" Shopkeeper Han smiled after hearing this, and then slipped a silver ingot into the school lieutenant's hand and said, "They have to rush to the main office overnight to report the letter, and they dare not let them go on the road if they are not good at skills. So, thank you very much, I will write down this sentiment!"

The lieutenant weighed the weight of the silver ingot in his heart, and his face suddenly burst into a smile. He said proudly: "The shopkeeper Han is serious. Who can not give face to the brand of Yongchang, it's a small thing!"

As soon as his words fell, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the dark place: "It's a small thing for Jianlu to open the city gate privately when he is scrutinizing the capital!"

The few people under the city gate were startled, and quickly looked towards the source of the sound. The school lieutenant sternly shouted: "Who? What are you doing?"

Under their gaze, a group of people slowly emerged from the darkness.With the help of the twilight of the torches under the city gate, I saw this group of people wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes with small sash, who else could they be if they were not Dongchang fans!

This time, the captain was so frightened that his legs went limp.He couldn't figure it out, didn't Dongchang fanzi have been busy all day, why did he still have the energy to appear and disappear at night?

When the shopkeeper Han saw him, his legs were trembling a little, but he still managed to hold back and took out three large silver ingots from his pocket, and said with a forced smile, "Who did I think it was! I am Yongchang Bank The shopkeeper, there is an urgent matter and I have to send my staff back to the main office. A few brothers from the East Factory, a little bit is not a respect!"

Dongchang Fanzi ignored him at all, and the crowd parted to reveal a few people behind them.I saw that the two leaders were wearing scarlet gowns, followed by a general in full armor.

This shopkeeper Han is also well-informed, and he immediately recognized one of them as Wen Tiren, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other as Cao Huachun, Eunuch Bingbi, Superintendent of Rites and Admiral of the East Factory. As for the general, he did not know him.But the school lieutenant knew him, he was the leader of the confidant family Ding under the commander-in-chief Man Gui.

I saw Cao Huachun glanced at them as if looking at a dead dog, waved his hand, and let his subordinates go forward to arrest them, then turned to face Wen Tiren, and said with admiration: "Master Wen is really good at predicting things, our family Extremely admired!"

"Hehe!" Wen Tiren replied with a smile after hearing this, "It's wrong, it's not my official, it's the emperor who knows things like a god, and he has already seen the details, otherwise I'm just a minister of the Ministry of Rites, how could I do it!"

There is no way to explain what happened in the chat group.But seriously, it is indeed the emperor's credit.After all, the emperor is the leader of the group, so Gao Yingyuan is also following the emperor's orders.He didn't want to explain too much, and immediately reminded: "Let's go, go to the Yongchang ticket office and get the clothes that those people changed."

At this time, Cao Huachun was sure that this Wen Tiren was so trusted by His Majesty that he would definitely use it again in the future. Therefore, he was very polite, and immediately agreed, turning around and ordering his subordinates who had already captured a group of people: "Let's go, hurry up , there are still many things to do tonight!"

Not long after, the city gate became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.Soon after, this city gate, like other city gates, was jointly controlled by Man Gui's cronies and people sent by Li Fengxiang.

Gao Yingyuan and the other three followed behind Oboi, galloping silently.Suddenly, Gao Yingyuan smiled silently and gestured to his second and fifth brothers.

Chen Er and Han Wu were very surprised when they saw it. They knew that Gao Yingyuan had told them that the arrest of the capital had been carried out as planned, and everything went well.The two looked at each other, they were both at a loss, and couldn't figure out how Gao Yingyuan knew.

However, the two of them didn't think too much about this kind of thing beyond the range of cognition, they let go of their hearts and continued to follow Ao Bai.

There was a hint of whiteness in the east, and when the dawn was approaching, Oboi suddenly pulled the reins, stopped his horse and watched from a distance, and said at the same time: "There is a large group of people coming ahead, I wonder if the Great Khan sent someone here."

Chen Er and the other three stood still behind him, looking forward, faintly, it seemed that there was indeed movement.If you don't observe carefully, you won't find out so quickly.In this way, they had a new understanding of Oboi's sensitivity on the battlefield.

Obai was in a good mood, turned his head to look at the capital that was no longer visible, and then looked at the three people behind him, couldn't restrain his smile and said: "You three have done a good job this time, when I Da Jin captures the capital, I will surely There is a reward!"

When the three of them heard this, they quickly expressed their thanks, with expressions of sympathy.

At the same time, the commotion in the capital has fallen silent.The streets were full of patrolmen from the Wucheng Bingma Division and soldiers from the Beijing Camp, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Officials in Beijing, whether they were Beijing officials or local officials, all flocked to the Meridian Gate.For a while, the sedan chairs on the street, like streams in all directions, slowly converged towards the Meridian Gate.

Outside the Meridian Gate, the officials who had arrived earlier all found their acquaintances, gathered in twos and threes, and talked about what happened in the capital last night.

"Did you see that the fire in the granary started to burn? The capital's grain reserves were insufficient, so what should we do if it burns?"

"What are you worried about? You are not the Minister of the Household Department! Hehe, it's time for him to have a headache!"

"..."

Some officials were also discussing other things: "You said that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will also catch fire, and the shouts of killing can be heard on the street. When I passed by in the morning, there was a lot of blood on the street!"

"Hehe, something happened in the prison, I'm afraid the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to think about the position of the cabinet minister anymore!"

"That's right, even a prison is not good at such a time, and the emperor might be furious, and the end will be even worse!"

"..."

These are basically big figures in the capital, and when those small officials get together, they also have their topics.

"Just wait and see, it will be even more exciting in the morning!"

"Didn't the emperor say that the early court was to discuss financial matters? Could there be other things?"

"It's just a fight between the gods. Let's watch it. Although I met Jianlu this time when I came to the capital this time, it's an eye-opener!"

"..."

More and more officials gathered, and the sky gradually brightened.I don't know when, the drums on the Wufeng Tower on the Meridian Gate sounded, and the civil and military officials ended the gossip time, and the morning morning began!
At the same time, Hu Guang was also ready to go, but he hadn't set off yet, and was listening to the report from Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Nine Sects.
