Sure enough, as Xu Jie said, after enduring the square hole for a while, he finally left Yingtianfu in person and rushed to Yangzhou.
He was under too much pressure in this matter, and he was even forced to be strict, and he rarely moved the idea of resigning, not to mention the chief official of the place where the incident occurred.
Recently, there have been calls for Fang Kong to be imprisoned for his crimes, and both reformers and conservatives are very dissatisfied with this matter, and they all want to take Fang Kong's sacrificial flag.
As soon as Fang Kong arrived at Yangzhou Mansion, he didn't care about seeing Feng Jiangfeng, and directly found Gong Dingyu.
In Yangzhou Mansion, Fang Mian's face was majestic, and his tone was quite aggressive: "Lord Gong, you have been in Yangzhou Mansion for a few days, why haven't you solved the case for a long time?"
” Gong Dingyu naturally knew that these Nanzhili officials were all in danger, so he was quite polite to this feudal official, and said with a smile: "Governor Fang, do you want to guide this angel, or do you want to spy on the case?"
” Fang Kong naturally knew the roots of Gong Dingyu, sneered in his heart, his face was resolute, and he said decisively: "Lord Gong, don't talk such nonsense.
The entire Nanzhili is now boiling against Yingye, all government affairs have stagnated, the voice of the court asking for guilt is breaking the sky, this official as the governor of Nanzhili naturally has the right to calm down the situation, if Lord Gong can't find out the facts of the case as soon as possible and close the case, this official will write to the emperor and ask the court to send another person!
” After Fang Kong finished speaking, his eyes looked at Gong Dingyu with burning eyes.
He can't wait, Nanzhili can't wait, and the capital can't wait.
He knew very well in his heart that any case was a trivial matter, but whoever wanted to obstruct the 'New Deal' was definitely a heinous crime, not to mention the emperor, even the cabinet would not let him go lightly.
Gong Dingyu looked at Fang Kong, and then glanced at Xu Jie and the others.
Fang Kong and the others brought a lot of people, as well as a cadre of Yangzhou Mansion, more than 20 people, staring at him directly, as if he didn't give an answer, he would be eaten alive.
Gong Dingyu was silent for a while, looked at Fang Kong and said: "Governor Fang, this angel is hiding here just to hide people's eyes and ears, let me tell you the truth, this group of people is not simple, their hands and feet are clean and neat, and there is no clue left, but this angel still found a clue." ” Everyone listened to Gong Dingyu's words, and they were all shocked.
Xu Jie even rushed to say: "What clues, when can you arrest people and solve the case?"
” Gong Dingyu deliberately sold the pass for a while, and said: "When Zhou Tongju and others visited Xiao Qinhuai, this group of people followed behind, and a few people saw their faces, these people have been quietly taken away by me and imprisoned somewhere, as long as the portrait comes out, they will definitely be able to catch people, as long as they are caught, other problems will be solved." ” Fang Kong's body has been shining, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The official has ordered that Yangzhou City will only be allowed to enter and exit from now on, and all the soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion, the Criminal Prison Department and other people will be dispatched by the angels, and no one shall resist or stop it!"
” "Yes!"
A group of people were stunned and answered loudly.
Fang Kong knew that Gong Dingyu was hiding in the yamen of the government soldiers to prevent open guns and hidden arrows, and glanced at the government soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion, and said, "This official is considered to have exceeded his authority this time, you have no opinion, right?"
” The lieutenant in charge of the soldiers of Yangzhou Prefecture was named Chen Yizhi, and he raised his hand and said: "Governor Lu has sent an order to the last general, and the last general has no opinion. ” Fang Kong turned his head to look at Gong Dingyu and said, "This official is in this Yangzhou Mansion, and if the case is not solved, this official will not leave, everything is an angel." ” Gong Dingyu said: "Governor Fang rest assured, this official will go, as long as he gets the portrait, he will search for the whole city, and be sure to catch these small people." ” "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"
Fang Kong's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice.
Gong Dingyu arched his hand to everyone and strode away from the Yangzhou Mansion.
Chu Jianghan didn't leave, stayed, standing in the crowd, looking obscure.
Fang Kong's eyes swept over those present, and said coldly: "From now on, Yangzhou Mansion will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to leave, let alone pass on the news without authorization, otherwise they will be convicted of complicity!"
” Everyone knew the importance of this matter, and they all raised their hands in response, not daring to hesitate at all.
Although Chu Jianghan also bowed down and raised his head, he quietly made a few stops, and the people under his hands silently mixed among the people of the governor's yamen, monitoring the entire mansion.
Gong Dingyu got out of Yangzhou Mansion, got into the carriage, quietly changed directions, got on the boat of the Qinhuai River, and then hid many times, then turned back to the city and ran to the northwest corner.
This is a big courtyard, and as soon as Gong Dingyu entered the door, he was slammed shut, and there was no sound inside, and there was no movement at all.
Just after Gong Dingyu entered, two people appeared in a corner, glanced at each other, and one of them quietly left.
In the evening, a carrier pigeon flew into a courtyard of the Shenlong Mansion, and a maid took it and quickly sent it into the show building in the backyard.
Inside the show was a woman, a very young, quite pretty, beautiful and somewhat dusty woman, who was gently shaking the cradle and humming a lullaby.
Inside the cradle was a seven- or eight-month-old baby, wrapped in his fingers, sleeping.
The maid crept in, handed the note to the woman, and spread it out in front of her eyes.
The woman swept her eyes, frowned slightly, and a sense of anger and boredom appeared on her face.
She looked at the child in the cradle and said in an unusually gentle tone, "How many people are there in Yangzhou Mansion?"
” The maid bowed, cautious, and said in a low voice, "Mrs.
Hui, there are twenty people, and now that the city is closed, if you don't reveal your identity, you can't get out at all." ” The woman was silent for a while, and said, "Find a reason, send twenty more people in, kill all those who see their faces, and then find a way to replace them."
Be unaware and don't show your feet. ” "Yes."
The maid replied in a low voice, and then said: "Madam, the master has a letter from the master, asking us to keep a low profile, and he feels that the capital may be suspicious." ” The woman was quiet for a while, and said, "Well, you personally go to the port and send the twenty ships away, as long as you leave the port, we will be silent for a while." ” "Yes."
The maid answered, turned to leave.
"Wait," the woman said suddenly, "what is the attitude of the chief soldier?"
” The maid turned around and said more and more cautiously: "He eats empty noises and resells military rations, if these are found out by the Ministry of War, he will definitely die, and his wife will cover up the past for him, and he will be honest and obedient." ” The corner of the woman's eyes showed a meaningful smile, and said, "Well, then our protection will be a little more, you watch carefully, don't be careless." ” "Yes."
The maid whispered, and waited for a while before quietly retreating.
At night, Yangzhou Mansion.
Chu Jianghan lived in a quiet, inconspicuous room, and the window was open with a foot open, looking down on the courtyard.

Not long after, a young guard came in and whispered in his ear: "My lord, there are six or seven people who quietly climbed over the wall and ran away, and a few of our people have lost them." ” Chu Jianghan frowned, and said, "This group of people is not simple, it's not strange to lose it, let them all come back."
They are all fake, the real thief must still be in this yard!
” The guard raised his hand, and continued: "There are more people entering the city today, and there is nothing special observed at the city gate, by the way, there is a team of brocade guards who have entered the city, and it is said that it is a secret investigation, and even Governor Fang can't ask more, so he let him go directly without looking at his face." ” Jinyi Wei is the emperor's personal guard, the authority is higher than everything, no one dares to mess around, Fang Kong's release is natural, expected.
But Chu Jianghan had a bad premonition, his face was solemn, he closed the window, and said in a low voice: "How are the adults preparing over there, is it proper?"
” The guard also stepped forward and said in his ear: "Don't worry, my lord, I am transferred from the army, absolutely elite, one is ten, plus there is an ambush, as long as someone dares to go, there will definitely be no entry or exit!"
” Chu Jianghan straightened up, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay!"
I'm going to see Governor Fang and take over the entire Yangzhou Mansion, I want to see how long this thief can hide!
” "Yes!"
This guard followed Chu Jianghan and took over the management from Fang Kong, and instantly blocked the water inside and outside the Yangzhou Mansion, and not a single fly could fly in, let alone fly.
The yamen of Yangzhou Mansion was in an instant, and everyone was in danger, hiding in the house one by one, and they didn't dare to breathe.
As the night deepened, in the courtyard in the northwest corner, in the underground secret room, Gong Dingyu was holding a wine glass, drinking alone, leisurely.
Zhang liked Gong Dingyu very much, standing in front of him, and said: "My lord, they have all been ambushed, as long as they dare to come in, there will definitely be no entry or exit!"
” Gong Dingyu smiled, looked up at him and said, "Don't catch them all, leave a few gaps, let them run out a few, I really want to see who is doing things and what is the purpose......
Zhang immediately understood, and said, "Do you want to follow the vine?"
Yes, the lower officials will arrange it. ” Gong Dingyu nodded lightly, drank the wine glass, and then looked at the suddenly beating light, his expression was incomprehensible.
Unconsciously, in the darkness not far from this courtyard, there were figures quietly gathered.
Everyone looked calmly at the courtyard not far away, and there was a low discussion.
"No one has come out since Gong Dingyu entered, and there was no movement in this courtyard at all.
I tried to look from above, and for half a day there was every figure in the courtyard, and I thought that they must have been ambushed. ” "It's not strange that there is an ambush, Gong Dingyu has always been cautious in doing things, and there will be no mistakes, from the fact that he has turned so many times, it depends on whether this ambush is enough."
"He borrowed more than 100 people from the government soldiers, 50 people are in Yangzhou Mansion, and the others have disappeared, so they must all be here."
"That's simple, rush in and sprinkle a wave of poisonous powder first, and then use the rainstorm pear flower needle, besides, we still have firearms in our hands."
"Firearms should not be used as a last resort.
Let's rush in, first observe where the people are kept, kill people, we immediately withdraw, and then leave with the brocade clothes guard waist card, it won't be long before the city gate will open, the group of people who just came in left with the trend, Fang Kong, Gong Dingyu even if he was suspicious, he didn't dare to find out about us!
” "Yes!"
A group of people whispered secretly.
I don't know how long it took, a black shadow suddenly rushed out, and then one by one the black shadows seemed to come out of thin air, with quite tacit understanding, rushed directly to the courtyard wall, and jumped in one after another.
Forty people, no matter how silently they climbed over the wall, they should have alarmed the people in the courtyard, but the strange thing was that the courtyard was still as quiet as before, as if it was an empty courtyard, a figure, and there was no sound at all.
The men in black stood in place and did not move, they all looked at each other, and then they rushed inside, and began to search room by room.
In the secret room, Gong Dingyu took the periscope to observe the movement outside, and stood still.
Zhang stood on the side, and from time to time he heard reports coming in from outside.
After a while, she said, "My lord, almost all of them have come in, are they covered?"
” Gong Dingyu raised his head, looked at the snow-white wall, and said lightly: "You go out from the secret passage, let the people in the east and south courtyards surround the two walls, and the people on the west and north sides withdraw, and tell them that they don't need a living mouth." ” Zhang Yi was stunned and said, "My lord, don't live your mouth?"
” A strange sneer appeared on Gong Dingxiao's face, and he said, "You can catch it." ” Zhang raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” As he spoke, he turned around and left through the dark secret passage behind him.
This secret passage leads to the courtyard next door, where Gong Dingyu borrowed elite soldiers from Lu Xiangsheng.
The man in black quickly searched the courtyard and came to the southeast corner of the courtyard, an inconspicuous, thatched house-like place.
It looks ordinary, but it is very dark, like a hidden beast, which is unsettling.
A group of people in black blocked here, facing each other, and after a while, several people in black stepped forward and silently pushed open the door, and then one of them retreated, and said in a low voice: "There is a secret passage." ” The leading man in black waved his hand, and several men in black stepped forward, plugged the gap, and cautiously opened the mechanism.
As soon as it was opened, everyone was ready to attack, but when the mechanism opened, it was not a random shot, nor a dark passage, twenty lights were bright, and a huge piece of paper was pasted on the wall.
A man in black rushed in, his face changed drastically, and he pulled it back and showed it to the man in black who was in the lead.
I saw that it was written: No one has seen your true face.
"Withdraw!"
The man in black threw it casually, turned around and ran back.
Suddenly, the other two walls built around the city wall were like dragons, and the walls were full of people, and there were many archers, and there were a hundred and ten people!
Then, the door was kicked open, and Zhang Zhang, dressed in official uniform and with a sword at his waist, strode in, and behind them were soldiers in bright armor and full of murderous spirit.
These men in black curled up together, looking at these soldiers who rushed in, and they didn't understand that this was a trap that had calculated them!

However, they did not panic in the slightest, gathered together, observed the surroundings, and their eyes were calm and calm.
Zhang looked at this group of people and shouted coldly: "Surrender, here are the elite soldiers borrowed from the southern battalion, two hundred people, do you think you can still escape?"
If you don't want to die, take off your mask, lay down your arms and surrender!
” The men in black still didn't move, but they turned their heads to each other and looked at each other.
The leader said in a hoarse voice: "Climb out of the city wall, not far away is Xiao Qinhuai, and no one can catch us when we reach the river." ” A group of men in black understood, and began to retreat slowly.
Zhang immediately cut it and sneered: "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you, anyway, the traitors in Yangzhou Mansion have been arrested, and it is useless to ask for you."
Everyone obeys the order, kills, and no one is left!
” A big man who looked like a school captain waved his hand violently, and the arrow shot like jade towards the group of black-clothed people.
"Let's go!"
The man in black roared loudly.
Immediately, a few people were hit by arrows, but they were dragged backwards, and several men in black were ready to climb over the wall.
"Kill!"
The archer shot violently, and Zhang and his people also rushed directly over.
"I'm here to resist, you guys go quickly!"
The leader of the man in black roared.
The arrows rained down, I don't know how many people fell, and when Zhang led people to rush over, it instantly turned into hand-to-hand combat, blocking the wall and fighting.
Even though these black-clothed men were not ordinary people, how could they compare to the well-trained and fierce soldiers, who were quickly hanged, but there were still more than a dozen people who climbed over the wall and ran out.
Zhang was stained with blood, waved his hand, and said: "Chase, no one is allowed to let go, they all have phosphorus powder on their bodies, and they can't run far." ” "Yes!"
The lieutenant responded and quickly led people to chase him out.
Zhang didn't follow, there was a gap left here on purpose, and these people were going to let go.
She wiped the blood stains from her hair, greeted Gong Dingyu who came out of the secret room, and said, "My lord, they ran away." ” Gong Dingyu saw everything clearly in the secret room, the folding fan in his hand swayed, and said: "Well, pay attention to the dynamics of the entire Yangzhou Mansion, especially those adults, I want to see how many people are involved." ” This is the established plan, Zhang Yingsheng, and then said: "My lord, is it time for the Yangzhou Mansion to close the net." ” At this time, a soldier had already cleaned up the corpses of those black-clothed men and said, "Lord Gong, eighteen have died, three are still angry, the other three are estimated to be dead, and one has died from biting the poison in his mouth." ” Gong Dingyu thought for a while and said, "Find someone to pretend to, get some blood in your mouth, and escort it to the mansion." ” Zhang instantly understood what he meant, and said, "Yes, the next official will do it." ” With that, Zhang arranged it and prepared to return to Yangzhou Mansion.
The movement here is so big, naturally it quickly alarmed the Yangzhou Mansion.
Fang Kong immediately called Chu Jianghan, put on his clothes and asked, "What's wrong, have you closed the net?"
” Chu Jianghan knew about closing the net, but he didn't know the specific situation yet, so he had to say vaguely: "Don't worry, Lord Gong's side is guarded by heavy soldiers, and the gangsters will not succeed, and they will definitely return here soon." ” The affairs of Yangzhou Mansion are related to the national politics of the Ming Dynasty, and the influence has spread, so Fang Kong, the party, naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and asked: "Then, have you got your portrait?"
Can thieves be caught?
” Chu Jianghan had no choice but to appease Fang Kong and said: "Your Excellency, this case is a special dispatch from the emperor, we dare not be careless, this time it is a foolproof strategy, and there will be no mistakes." ” Fang Kong was not at ease, but he also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he urged two sentences and let Chu Jianghan go.
Fang Kong, Xu Jie, Feng Jiangfeng and other Nanzhili bigwigs are like sitting on pins and needles, outside is boiling anti-Yingye's people's opinion, and the court is like a mountain of pressure, which makes them breathless.
But before they could wait long, Zhang hurried over, briefed Fang Kong, and asked the whole city to search for him.
When Fang Kong heard that Zhang said that they had killed a lot of gangsters and prisoners, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately cooperated, and ordered all the soldiers to join in and search for those black-clothed people in the whole city.
Fang Kong and the others were relieved, but in the palace, in the signing room, there was an old man who was sitting on pins and needles.
He is the housekeeper and staff of the prefect Yang Xuekun, and he also plays the role of a master in the prefect, which can be said to be a very special person.
He walked around the house like an ant on a hot pot, and his head was covered with Cen Cen cold sweat.
Not far from him, there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and said lightly: "Don't worry, they won't confess to you, as soon as they have the opportunity, they will take poison and commit suicide." ” This master is an old man in his fifties, and when he heard this, he said eagerly: "There is a person whose jaw is crooked, and he didn't have time to die at all, and he is already on the way to press." ” The middle-aged man frowned, looked at this master, and said coldly: "Where are the account books?"
” The master looked at the middle-aged man's expression and felt cold, and immediately became ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "I know that you will kill me afterwards, I put the account books to a trusted friend of mine, as long as I die, these account books will be copied many times and sent to the place where you don't want it to go." ” The middle-aged man's face was as gloomy as ink, his tone was as cold as a deep pool, and he said slowly: "You should know that if you don't do this, it will also bring trouble to your family and friends!"
” This master let go and sneered: "If you don't hide me, you will die, and if you hide my family, you will live well!"
You have done so many things, and you have made so much money in Yangzhou Mansion alone, as long as I have one account book, I believe that I will soon be able to find out who is behind you, even if you go to the sky, you can't hold it down!
” The middle-aged man looked at this master, his eyes flickered, and he immediately snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, I'll take you away, but you'd better keep your mouth shut and let the account book be handed over, otherwise you, everyone around you will be burned, you should know that we can do it!"
” The master trembled, and immediately said: "As long as you take me out, I will leave Nanzhili with my family and hide far away, I will come back again in this life, and I will also write to my friend and ask him to burn the account books, you can rest assured." ” The middle-aged man glanced at the master, passed past him with an expressionless face, and walked outside.
There was someone in the courtyard to answer them, and they avoided the crowd and quickly came to a remote corner.
The master also followed, looking at the tall wall, there were many people behind him, and he whispered anxiously: "Didn't you say take me out?"
How to get out?
” The middle-aged man ignored him and nodded at a man in front of him.
The man crouched down and tapped lightly on the wall, which seemed to be solid, and he quickly pulled out the bricks, and it didn't take long for a dog hole to appear.
The master didn't care about anything else, pushed the man away, and he quickly got in.
The middle-aged man had a murderous look in his eyes, squatted down, and followed behind his ass.

The middle-aged man climbed out of the dog hole and couldn't help laughing, but he forced it down, looking at the empty street, he looked at both sides, calculating which way to run.
Then the middle-aged man crawled out and looked at the empty street, frowning.
Even if it was a good way out for them, it was too quiet, completely different from the tension inside.
The subordinate came out and said in a low voice, "My lord, we have to leave quickly, we can't stay here for long." ” The middle-aged man looked at the silent street, there was no light, his heart suddenly thumped violently, and suddenly said loudly: "Run!"
” As soon as his voice fell, from the shadows not far away, soldiers came out one by one, and the torches lit up with a bang, this long street was like day!
