The guards on duty in front of the Censorate were not the Taiping Army, but the former Jiangning Green Camp that was incorporated after the restoration of Nanjing. Most of them were locals in Nanjing and had no combat power, so they were assigned to various yamen as guards, while others were assigned to Shuntian Prefecture and counties under the prefecture as yamen. The slightly more elite were assigned to the security teams of each county, which was also considered to be the best use. When the Taiping Army broke through the city, many people followed these Jiangning Green Camps, but they did the job of collecting corpses and washing the floor. However, because of this, when these guards saw the Taiping Army's Jinyi Army coming, they couldn't help but shrink back. The reason was that there was no such thing as fear.

The personal army will come without any trouble, and it is necessary to do anything.

Some of the guards inevitably thought of the Tonglu case not long ago. That night, the residence of the Duke and Earl of Sanshan Street was raided by the personal soldiers. Now, there are still a group of nobles in the prison of Jinyi Nan Town. I heard that even the emperor could not be retrieved, which shows how arrogant the personal soldiers are.

The guards were tactful and worried that the city gate would cause fire to harm the fish, so before the personal army approached, they consciously went to the side and did not dare to perform their duties at all to block the inquiries. There were about twenty personal army members coming, and the leader was a general flag named Wei Cheng. However, there were three other officers in the team with "inner guard" embroidered on their arms. Seeing that they were wearing it, they seemed to be all general flags.

These Zi Feiyu Suits knew that the guards would not dare to stop them. If no one stepped into the gate of the Censorate, then Wei Cheng shouted to the stunned censors: "Which one is Zhang Yushu, ask him to come out and follow us!"

When the censors heard that they were coming to find Zhang Yushu, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the Jinyiwei is more scary than the Dongchang mansion in the past. There are so many lords on Sanshan Street who asked them to confiscate their houses, but it would be useless for the emperor to stop them. If they trouble them, the powerless censors, no one can save them.

Since the personal army handled the Tonglu case in Sanshan Street, even those who sell vegetables in Nanjing knew that the Jinyi personal army was from the Qi royal palace. Their name was the personal army, but the emperor did not move them at all. Some people even said that the personal army was actually the minions used by the King of Qi to monitor and control the emperor. These personal army was also very cruel. The evil officials who had paid owes in Jiangnan prefectures were not a little bit worse than them, but far behind.

Each family swept the snow in front of the door. God knew what Zhang Yushu had done and offended his own army, as long as he didn't look for his own. However, the censors did not dare to show it on their faces. Instead, they stared at the relatives indignantly, which was quite a shared hatred for the enemy.

"The Censorate is the important place, why are you so noisy? Do you still have any laws from the court in your eyes!"

Although Wan Sitong was also very afraid of these personal soldiers who caused the Tonglu case, in front of so many people, the Censorate was in the important place, and the personal soldiers were coming to take people without any explanation. They couldn't argue with each other, so they frowned and stepped forward to question.

Wan Sitong had a bad face, so Wei Cheng was not a good person. He was born in the Green Camp in Guangxi. Before surrendering, he committed all kinds of evil. It is said that he had eaten human liver raw. However, no one knows whether this matter is true or false. The Anjun envoy in the personal army had investigated the matter and concluded that there was no evidence to investigate and was purely accusation. However, whether this matter is true or false, the nature of this matter is always too bad. Therefore, according to military merit, Wei Cheng should have been able to be promoted to a hundred households, but he failed to mention it.

At present, Wei Cheng was in Nanzhen. Nanzhen was the former Nanzhen Fushi. Originally, he was only responsible for the military discipline and laws of the guards, and later he was responsible for the production of ordnances. He was not as prestigious as Beizhen. After Dingwu returned to the capital, Zhou Shixiang re-established the Zhenfushi, combining the functions of the former Nanzhen into one, collectively called the Zhenfushi. However, because of habits, and in Nandu, officials and the people still called the Zhenfushi.

In the past two years since the establishment of Nanzhen, it initially only interrogated and detained Man Qing. However, after the three major cases, Nanzhen's power suddenly expanded, and the prison of the Zhenfu Department was detained was no longer detailed and the people were detained, but had everyone. Most of the lords arrested in the Tonglu case and the officials and gentry who were owed to be sent from various places in Jiangnan were in the hands of Nanzhen.

A few days ago, Zhou Baoguo, the personal commander of the army, received an order to hand over Nanzhen to the Neiwei. The Neiwei is a direct armed force of the Military Information Department, which means that the Military Information Department has taken over the judicial interrogation. Combined with the ongoing anti-rebellion movement in Jiangnan, this move is in deep meaning and shuddering when you think about it carefully.

Wei Cheng glanced at Wan Sitong with an angry face and sneered, "I know that this Censorate is the important place of the court, but we have been ordered by our superiors to get people. If you know the truth, you will quickly hand over Zhang Yushu. If you don't know the truth, you will take it together!"

Wansi was only forty years old, but his skin was darker and his forehead was a little wrinkled. He looked a little old at first glance, but he couldn't call him "old man". Therefore, after hearing Wei Cheng's claim, he was so angry that he raised his eyebrows and snorted angrily: "Rareless! My Censorate can't help but make a fuss!" As he said that, his feet moved and he stood in front of Wei Cheng.

Although Wan Sitong was a Confucian scholar, his figure was taller than that of ordinary people. He leaned forward in front of Wei Cheng, which really made him strong. Behind him, the three officers with the words "Inner Guard" embroidered on their arms saw this, and as soon as they gestured, the personal soldiers immediately surrounded him with swords.

"What, stop me? Don't blame me for not reminding you. We were ordered to capture the criminals. If you stop them, you will be considered as a criminal and arrest them in Nanzhen together!"

Wei Cheng knew that the person in front of him had a good official qualities, but he was not afraid, because a Qianhu Lord came to tell him that Wei Cheng would come over to take the people, which was the only one who showed his power. He boldly let go, and Wei Cheng would not need to be the one who pushed him down.

If Mr. Qianhu said this, Wei Chengruo could not finish his errand, so he would be sorry for the opportunity given to him by Mr. Qianhu.

The personal soldiers and the three inner guard officers stared at Wansi and them with bad expressions. Seeing this, the censors felt a little guilty. But Wansi and they did not retreat, and they did not dare to retreat like this. They could only stand there with a tough look, looking like a confrontation.

"You dare!"

Wan Sitong was so angry that his body trembled. Although he knew that his personal army was domineering, he was also a fourth-rank official in the court, but in the eyes of the other party, it seemed that nothing was wrong. This really made him very angry.

Wei Cheng saw that Wan Sitong did not retreat and did not talk nonsense, so he waved his hand to take the person. Immediately, several subordinates rushed forward and pressed Wan Sitong. A group of censors were stunned, wanting to protect Wan Sitong, but they were afraid of being arrested by their own troops. They were in a dilemma, but they heard a thunderous roar from the gate: "Langlang Tiankong, are there any king's law?"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked, but Huang Zongxi, the general secretary who had returned from the cabinet, led a few people to rush in.

Huang Zongxi's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, his mouth trembled slightly, and he was very angry. He didn't expect that when his front foot left the Censorate, the people from the Jinyiwei dared to come forward to take his people.

Seeing that Zongxian came back, the censors suddenly became brave and stood up. A few younger ones even squeezed their fists tightly. Just after Huang Zongxi gave the order, they were about to go forward and fight with the hawks!

In a rage, Huang Zongxi was about to rush to Wei Cheng to scold him, but Zhang Yushu, who came out of the house after hearing the news, rushed to Wei Cheng and others first, and shouted: "I am Zhang Yushu. I don't know what I have done. Are you going to arrest me?"

"What happened? You know what you did!"

Wei Cheng ignored Huang Zongxi who was coming, but suddenly pressed Zhang Yushu and handcuffed him regardless of the other party's struggle.

When Huang Zongxi saw this, he could not bear it. He was so angry that his beard was so angry that he was so angry that he was very upset. Zhang Yushu was from the Censorate. His personal army took the person in front of him. It was really unbearable for the scholars to tolerate it. In an instant, Huang Zongxi realized that Gu Yan must be unable to fight against him, so he wanted to fight against him!

If he allowed his personal army to take Zhang Yushu away, Huang Zongxi would be speechless from now on. Who would dare to gather around him? Therefore, Huang Zongxi could not let Zhang Yushu be taken away by them. He took a step forward and said angrily: "What happened to Zhang Yushu? You must make it clear, otherwise, I will enter the palace now!"

"If you want to enter the palace, please give yourself a favor. You are just a low-level position."

Wei Cheng's neither humble nor arrogant look made Huang Zongxi's face look very ugly, and his clothes could be vaguely trembled. Wan Sitong saw the teacher's expression getting deeper and deeper, and knew his nature, and was afraid that he would conflict with the hawk and dog if he was angry. If Gu Yanwu and his friends used this as an excuse to cause trouble, and if they had the support of the King of Qi, they would probably be rectified immediately. At that time, no one would dare to take it out again.

"The people still have to make an explanation for their crimes. Why are there no explanation for me, Zhang Yushu, the Jinshi and my brother, the Thirteen Censors?" Zhang Yushu shouted in desperation.

"Yes, if you want to arrest Lord Zhang, you have to have an explanation, but there is no explanation. Don't think about taking the person away today!"

For some reason, some people in the censor suddenly thought of the truth that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, so they immediately stood up to question the Jinyiwei. Someone took the lead and Zongxian was present, and the censors were also excited. After the censors shouted for a while, Wei Cheng stared at Zhang Yushu and smiled, turned his head to scan everyone, and said slowly: "I dare to ask you all, I have an affair with the enemy country in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know what the charge is?"

In the Nanzhen Prison, Pan Xuezhong, a thousand households, looked at Cao Dahua, the clerk who had just been arrested from the Ministry of Personnel with interest.

"Mr. Cao, open your eyes and look at it. This is not the lobby of the Ministry of Personnel, but the prison in Nanzhen. I think Mr. Cao was born in the Wanli period. I must be familiar with the peace minister of our Jinyiwei, right? I have said a lot of good things to you, and my official is dry, so you should give it a good explanation, otherwise, I am afraid that Lord Cao will inevitably suffer."

Cao Dahua gritted his teeth and never said a word.

"The bones are quite hard. It seems that they will not shed tears without seeing the coffin." Pan Xuezhong shook his head with a smile, and took off the lid of the teapot in his hand. Immediately, four Jinyiwei holding big sticks of the chestnut, stepped forward and pressed Cao Dahua without saying a word, and then pulled off his belt. Suddenly, Cao Dahua's pants were pulled to his knees, revealing his bare butt.

Cao Dahua, who was taken off his pants and showed shame, was both embarrassed and angry, but his hands were pressed tightly by the Jinyiwei and could not move. In desperation, he cursed Pan Xuezhong: "Dog official, you are a despicable official like this, and even if you die, you will become a demon to settle the score with you!"

"I'm not afraid of living people, I'm afraid of a dead ghost!"

Pan Xuezhong's face disappeared without a smile, and he said coldly: "Try!"

"My uncle is the Minister of Rites. If you torture me, he will not spare you!"

Seeing that he was really going to be beaten, Cao Dahua became a little panicked. Hearing his shouting, Pan Xuezhong said, "Yuanshui cannot save Jinhuo. Lord Cao, you should just care about yourself. As for your uncle, you will be sent here to see something soon, so just follow the real trick, otherwise you deserve it."

"you"

Cao Dahua's scalp was numb when Pan Xuezhong said it. The big stick of the Limu in the Jinyiwei's hand behind him made him shudder. He instinctively shook, feeling like he fell into an ice cellar, so cold that it could not be colder, but his mind was blank in an instant, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Pan Xuezhong thought Cao Dahua was still stubborn and refused to call on the Cao family's Tonglu to rebel, so he asked to use punishment. At that time, the two Jinyiwei who were executing the punishment raised a big stick together and waved it hard at Cao Dahua's butt.

The shadow of the stick when it fell clearly reflected in Cao Dahua's eyes, scared him to wake up, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, his face was so pale, and he cried out with a whine: My life is over!…

Two "bang" sounds, and then Cao Dahua wailed.

"ah!…"

After wailing, before the executioner raised his stick again, everyone smelled a stinking smell. When they looked at him, Cao Dahua was so scared that he lost his restraint. The yellow and white thing stuck his butt and felt very disgusting. He looked at him again, and he was already fainted.

Seeing the prisoner fainted, the executioner looked at each other and felt a little tricky. One of them asked Pan Xuezhong carefully and said, "Qianhu, the prisoner has fainted. Will he continue to be executed?"

"Disen?"

Pan Xuezhong, who was disappointed, was a little disbelief. He thought to himself that this kid was pretending to be cowardly. He squatted down and pinched Cao Dahua's face, flipped his eyelids, and then stood up and cursed: "Damn... Why is this kid so scared... I thought he was really a man, but he didn't expect that he was a silver-like wax gun head, which was not useful! He fainted after hitting such two sticks."

A hundred household asked, "Sir, what should I do now?"

"What should I do?" Pan Xuezhong raised the corner of his mouth and said evilly: "If you are dizzy, you have to beat him until you are beaten to death!"

Hearing this, the Baihu was stunned and said in a daze: "I really want to beat him to death?"

In the eyes of these hundreds of households, Cao Dahua was a clerk of the Ministry of Personnel after all, and he had to pry out clues about how many officials in Nan had secretly plotted against him. If he beat the person to death directly, wouldn’t there be any clues?

"Do you think I'm joking?" Pan Xuezhong's lips curled slightly and said to the general flag: "Do you know why the Grand Marshal didn't enter Beijing?"

“Why?”

The Baihu was of course confused about this, because as far as he knew, the Grand Marshal had returned to Zhenjiang from Suzhou for a few days, but he had not set off for Beijing for a long time.

“Why?”

Pan Xuezhong looked at Cao Dahua who fainted from the ground and snorted slightly: "It's because there are too many people in Nanjing. If we don't solve these people, how can the Grand Marshal return to Beijing?"

"Did the Grand Marshal mean?" Baihu's heart was shocked.

"The Grand Marshal said in Zhenjiang that if he didn't clean the house, he wouldn't go anywhere. Don't you understand this?"
