Chongzhen Chat Group

Under the cover of night, the city gate in the south of the capital slowly opened a corner, and four young men wearing special uniforms from the Yongchang bank led the horse with its feet wrapped in cotton out of the city gate.

The leading young man didn't say a word, but had a hint of excitement on his face. After leaving the city, he and several other people got on their horses vigorously, very skillfully, and immediately rode away quickly.

When the captain at the city gate saw it, he couldn't help but said to the person standing next to him: "Shopkeeper Han, you guys are very skilled!"

"Haha, you're honored!" Shopkeeper Han smiled after hearing this, then stuffed a silver ingot into the captain's hand without leaving any trace, and said, "They have to rush to the main headquarters overnight to report the news, and I don't dare to let them go on the road if they are not good at it. So, thank you very much, I have recorded this sentiment!"

The captain weighed the weight of the silver ingot in his mind, and his face suddenly burst into laughter. He said proudly, "Shopkeeper Han's words are serious. Who can refuse to give face to the brand of Yongchang? It's a trivial matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the darkness: "When Jianlu was eyeing the capital, he actually opened the city gate privately. It's so trivial. How heroic!"

Several people under the city gate were startled and quickly looked towards where the sound was coming from. The captain shouted with a stern expression, "Who? What are you doing?"

Under their gaze, a group of people slowly emerged from the darkness. With the dim light of the torches under the city gate, I saw this group of people wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small ribbons. Who else could it be if they weren't Dongchang fans?

At this moment, the famous captain was so frightened that his legs went weak. He couldn't understand, hadn't Dongchang Fanzi been busy all day, how could he still have the energy to appear and disappear at night?

When shopkeeper Han saw it, his legs were shaking a little, but he still endured it and stepped forward to greet him. He took out three large silver ingots from his arms and said with a forced smile: "Who did I think it was! I am Yongchang Bank. The shopkeeper of the store had to send his clerk back to the main office if something urgent happened. Several brothers from the Dongchang Factory, the slightest disrespect is disrespectful!"

Dongchang Fanzi ignored him at all, and the crowd parted to both sides, revealing a few people behind them. I saw the two leading men wearing scarlet robes, followed by a general in full armor.

Shopkeeper Han was also well-informed, and he immediately recognized one of them as Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites, and the other as Cao Huachun, the Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Rites, and Cao Huachun, the Governor of the East Factory. As for the general, he didn't know him. However, the captain knew him as a close retainer leader under General Mangui.

Cao Huachun looked at them like a dead dog, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to come forward to arrest them. He turned to face Wen Tiren and said with admiration: "Master Wen is really good at predicting things. I admire you so much!”

"Haha!" Wen Tiren heard this and responded with a smile, "That's wrong, it's not me, it's the emperor who knows things like a god and has already known everything. Otherwise, I am just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, how could I possibly do it!"

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

At this time, Cao Huachun was sure in his heart that Wen Tiren was so trusted by His Majesty that he would definitely reuse him in the future. Therefore, he was very polite and agreed immediately. He turned around and ordered his subordinates who had already captured a group of people: "Let's go, please be careful. , there are still a lot of things to do tonight!"

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

Gao Yingyuan and three others followed behind Obai, silently galloping wildly. Suddenly, Gao Yingyuan smiled silently and made a gesture to his second brother and fifth brother.

Chen Er and Han Wu were both surprised when they saw it. They knew that Gao Yingyuan had told them that the arrest in the capital had been carried out as planned and everything went well. The two looked at each other, both confused, wondering how Gao Yingyuan knew.

However, the two of them didn't think much about this kind of thing that was beyond their cognitive scope. They put their minds at ease and continued to follow Obei.

A hint of fish belly white appeared in the east. When dawn was about to come, Obai suddenly pulled the reins, stood on his horse and looked far away, and said at the same time: "There is a large group of people coming in front. I wonder if the Great Khan has sent people."

Chen Er and three others stood behind him and looked forward. It seemed that there was indeed movement. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have discovered it so quickly. In this way, they had a new understanding of Obai's keenness on the battlefield.

Ao Bai was in a good mood. He turned around and looked at the capital, which he could no longer see. Then he looked at the three people behind him. He couldn't help but smile and said: "You three have done a good job this time. When I, Dajin, capture the capital, you will definitely win." There is a reward!”

When the three of them heard this, they quickly thanked him and looked happy with them.

At the same time, the noise in the capital has fallen silent. The streets were full of patrols from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and soldiers from the Beijing Camp, and the atmosphere was very desolate.

Officials in Beijing, whether they were Beijing officials or local officials in Beijing, all flocked to the Meridian Gate. Suddenly, the sedans on the street were like streams in all directions, slowly gathering towards the Meridian Gate.

Outside the Meridian Gate, the officials who had arrived early found their acquaintances and gathered together in twos and threes to talk about what happened in the capital last night.

"Did you see how the fire in the grain storehouse started? The capital originally had insufficient grain reserves. What will happen if it burns?"

"Why are you worried about this? You're not the Minister of the Ministry of Finance! Hehe, it's his turn to have a headache!"

"..."

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

"Haha, if something happens in the prison, the Minister of Punishment may no longer be able to think about the position of Assistant Minister in the Cabinet!"

"That's right, you can't even see a prisoner at this time. If the emperor doesn't get angry, the consequences will be even worse!"

"..."

These are basically the big shots in the capital, and the petty officials also have their own topics to talk about when they gather together.

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

"Didn't the Emperor say that the morning meeting was to discuss financial matters? Is there anything else?"

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

"..."

More and more officials gathered together, and the sky gradually became brighter. I don't know when, the drums on the Wufeng Tower above the Meridian Gate rang, the civil and military officials ended the gossip time, and the morning court began!

At the same time, Hu Guang was also getting ready to go, but he had not set off yet and was listening to the report from the Nine Sect Admiral Li Fengxiang.
