After the fall of the inner city, under the leadership of Ouyang Jiong, Yang Tingyu rescued the Fuchengmen, Xuanwumen, and Zhengyangmen, who were guarding the Fuchengmen, Xuanwumen, and Zhengyangmen, who were responsible for guarding the Ministry of Personnel, Meng Zhaoxiang, the Right Minister of Justice, Meng Zhangming, and his son, Cheng De, the head of the Armamentary Department of the Ministry of War.

Outer city, Xuannanfang, and Mutton Hutong.

At present, most of the residents in Xuannanfang surrendered, and only this one is still resisting. Ma Shiyao, the general of the Zuofu Camp under Liu Fangliang, originally wanted to bypass Xuannanfang and directly attack the more prosperous Zhengxifang. When he heard that the family that had already surrendered said that the family was resisting was Ni Yuanlu, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and decided to take over and leave.

The Minister of Revenue is the yamen in charge of the country's money and food, and is also a senior official in the ministry. The family must have a lot of money.

"It must be taken"

So, Ma Shiyao personally directed a thousand soldiers to besiege Ni Yuanlu's mansion.

But he never thought that even if he was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, no matter how honest he was, he would not be able to live in an outer city, and he would not be able to live far away from the three gates of Xuanwu, Zhengyang and Chongwen.

Ni Yuanlu was originally living in her hometown in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. After learning that Beijing was in danger, she dispersed all her family's wealth and recruited hundreds of dead soldiers, intending to "go to Beijing to serve the king". Emperor Chongzhen was moved by his loyalty. He ignored the persuasion of everyone, and broke the custom that Zhejiang people were not allowed to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He opposed the opposition and made him become Minister of Revenue.

Unfortunately, Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Revenue, had not served as the Minister of Revenue for long, and Li Zicheng's army surrounded Beijing.

You can imagine how shabby Ni Yuanlu is when he can rent a house in the savory mutton alley, but he still rented a three-entry large yard, otherwise the dead soldiers under his command would not be able to live in at all.

It had been half an hour since Ma Shiyao attacked the yard. He originally thought it was easy to capture it, but he didn't expect that the people inside were extremely stubborn. He took great effort to clean the front and back yards. Unexpectedly, they all retreated to the largest courtyard in the middle, relying on the courtyard wall, and constantly shooting out with the bows and arrows in his hands, so that the Dashun Army could not get close at all.

Ma Shiyao was furious and immediately asked his men to lower the artillery.

"boom!"

When the cannon sounded, a middle-aged civil servant in the yard, who was in his forties, was shaking his body. He was still wearing a second-rank civil servant robe and holding a sword in his hand. His sword body was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had killed many people.

This person is Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue.

At this time, there were only a few dozen dead soldiers in the yard, most of whom were from Shaoxing who followed him to Beijing.

There are also a few who admire Ni Yuanlu's Zhongyi and come to assist from the nearby Mule and Horse Market.

Between Xuannanfang and Xuanbeifang is the famous Muma City Street in the capital. There are more than a dozen Muma City shops there. Nowadays, all of them have multiple backgrounds, including Shanxi, Beijing officials and honorary officials.

Seeing that the thief army was about to break through the courtyard, Ni Yuanlu couldn't help but sigh to the sky, then walked into a house with a tidy dress.

He knelt down in the house, kowtowed a few times in the northeast direction, and then took out a white silk from the house and threw it on the beam.

"Bang", he was about to kick off the stool under his feet, but the door opened.

This person was a "righteous man" who came from Mule and Horse Market. He was very furious. When the man saw the situation in the room, he suddenly flew onto the table, then waved his knife, and the white silk that was placed on the beam of the room was broken into two pieces.

"you……"

Ni Yuanlu was furious. The man was named Hong Si. He was a idle man on the streets of Muma City. He didn't expect that he was so unaware of the matter!

Just as he was about to continue scolding him, the man changed his straightforward and brave expression outside and showed a cunning face.

"Sir, you can't die"

After saying that, the man used a knife to knock it on the back of his head.

...

Three days later, the Dashun Army had completely controlled the entire city, and the next one was their favorite program.

Recover stolen money to help pay.

However, even if the stolen money is recovered, it is not a flock of money. Li Zicheng divided the areas in the city and roughly divided the areas where each battalion recovered, helped the money according to the area during the attack.

Xizhimen Street, Shuntianfu Street, Dongzhimen Street, and the inner city north of the imperial city were all assigned to Li Guo's Qianying;

The entire imperial city was assigned to Liu Zongmin's personal military camp;

To the south of Xizhimen Street and to the west of the imperial city, it is assigned to Xin Sizhong's right camp;

To the south of Dongzhimen Street and east of the imperial city, it is assigned to Yuan Zongdi's Zuoying;

As for the government offices on the south side of the imperial city, they were divided into two parts, with the Daming Gate as the boundary. The various departments on the east side were assigned to Yuan Zongdi, the Five Army Governor's Office, the Jinyiwei, the Taichang Temple, and the Tongzheng Envoy Office on the west side were assigned to Xin Sizhong.

The entire outer city (the outer city here is actually on the south side of the inner city. At this time, the Beijing city is roughly in the shape of a "Lu" with the inner city on the north and the outer city on the south) is led by Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao.

The vigorous action began.

The area under Xin Sizhong was divided into the area under the charge of Fuchengmen Street, with the area of ​​Xin Sixiao and Liu Tichun in the north, and the area of ​​Yue Zhenbang and Yang Tingyu in the south, and the location of the government office was occupied by Xin Sizhong personally led troops.

Yang Tingyu was lucky. After discussing with Yue Zhenbang, he obtained a large area east of Xuanwumen Street and west of the imperial city. Although the area there was smaller than the west, it was better than the rich people. This was naturally more exciting to recover the stolen money and help the money.

After all, Yue Zhenbang was born in the Qianlong period of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a descendant of Yue Wumu, so his face was even weaker.

Yang Tingyu was different. He only worked in the Ming army for a short time and did not stop at night. Then he ran to Guazhou to be a horse thief. In terms of being ruthless, Yue Zhenbang was far inferior to him.

After Yang Tingyu got a list from Ouyang Jiong, he first took a look at the mansion of Zhou Kui, the mansion of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, located on the west side of the South China Sea, in Xiaoyongfang.

This is the current emperor's father-in-law and the commander of the Five Cities Military Command. This family is definitely not very rich.

According to the rules set by Li Zicheng after entering Beijing, "Jingqing, 70,000 yuan in brocade clothes, or 50,000 yuan in 50,000 yuan, the officials, the Ministry of Personnel, the Hanlin 50,000 to 10,000 yuan, the ministers had a difference, and the ministers had thousands of officials, and the honors and relatives were not fixed." Zhou Kui was definitely a kind of honors and relatives. According to Ouyang Jiong's confession, this person also occupied the feces trading in Hecheng, 30% of the Xishan coal mine and 20% of the Chaoyangmen grain trading, which was definitely a big fish.

Jiading Bo Mansion, front yard.

Zhou Kui was from Suzhou. After his daughter became the queen, she was given a large house by the emperor and leaned against the South China Sea. So he hired craftsmen from Jiangnan to clean up his mansion according to Suzhou gardens. After the completion, it attracted the lake water of the South China Sea. In addition to the many scattered pavilions, towers and gardens, it became a scene in the capital.

The front yard is home to the mules, horses, cars, sedans and guards of Jiading Bo Mansion, and covers a wide area. Now, Zhou Kui is the leader, and there are a lot of people kneeling down.

According to the rule of "no fixed number of honors and relatives", Zhou Kui can use sticks here.

When ten blood-stained pinch sticks were still in front of the crowd, Zhou Kui was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

When he woke up, his eldest son Zhou Yi had been killed by Yang Tingyu's stick, and his wife, concubine, and second daughter-in-law had already hanged herself.

His youngest son and nephew were still wailing under the stick.

He had already put a pair of sticks on his body, and he started to be punished as soon as he woke up.

When he heard that Zhou Kui had woken up, Yang Tingyu quickly walked out of the inner room, "People like you have no fixed amount of money to recover stolen money. Tell me yourself, how much do you pay?"

"Two hundred thousand"

Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and shouted a number with tears in his eyes. Yang Tingyu sneered, "Just as soon as your eldest son opened his mouth, he would die under a stick. What a great man, you dare to deceive me until the end of his life?"

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the soldiers on both sides immediately pushed the pinch stick!

Zhou Kui fainted once. When he woke up again, he found that there was no thread on his body, and the blood was stained with the place where the stick was clamped. He felt unbearable when he moved a little.

"Tell me"

Yang Tingyu came over again. After a few people died, Yang Tingyu had already made nearly one million taels of silver from the Zhou Mansion. However, according to Ouyang Jiong and the confessions of some other surrendered civil and military officials, Zhou Kui was definitely not just worth this little.

"Master", when Zhou Kui saw Yang Tingyu, he suddenly knelt down and climbed to his feet regardless of the pain, "The little one has a major secret!"

"Major secret?" Yang Tingyu said with a sneer, "Is it involving the treasures of other officials in the district? Please save money. I will only be responsible for the Daxia Yongfang and Anfufang. No matter how much gold and silver there are in the other people's jurisdiction, it is not my business."

"No!" Zhou Kui's face changed constantly, and he said for a while: "The two dragon sons in Qianming were hidden in the villain's house."

Yang Tingyu didn't look overjoyed when she heard this, but since she said that, she had to check it out.

In the end, King Yong, who was hidden in the walls of Zhou Mansion, was searched for it. Yang Tingyu did not dare to make a decision on such a big deal. He immediately sent the two of them to Xin Sizhong, and Xin Sizhong sent them to Liu Zongmin again.

In this way, in the next ten days, the entire city of Beijing was spent with the shouts of the Dashun Army and the wailings of civil and military officials.

In the end, Yang Tingyu found nearly one million taels of silver from Zhou Kui's mansion and his shops in Daxia Yongfang. He heard that other military generals found one million taels in his private houses and shops in other parts of the city.

He heard from Ouyang Jiong that this guy was silent when the emperor proposed to donate, and was his own daughter. Now the queen secretly gave 10,000 taels of silver. He deducted 5,000 taels and donated 5,000 taels, which was a joke in the huge capital.

Ten days later, in Yang Tingyu's jurisdiction alone, tens of millions of taels of silver were plundered by recovering stolen goods and helping pay. If gold, jewelry, and various materials were added, the number would be even more amazing.

According to the rules set by Niu Jinxing, the Prime Minister of the Dashun Kingdom, each battalion can leave 10% of the money obtained from recovering stolen goods and assisting the money, and all the remaining ones must be sent to the national treasury. Violators will be "decided and unpardoned."

Yang Tingyu personally escorted the gold, silver and treasures to the imperial city and prepared to put them in the inner treasury of the palace.

He rode his horse, took a hundred cavalry, and carried fifty large chariots to walk east along Chang'an Street, preparing to go north from Nanxunfang, southeast of the imperial city, and enter the palace from near Donghuamen.

As soon as he entered Nanxunfang, he heard a family in the shop wailing inside.

"Why haven't it been plundered yet?"

He thought to himself, and asked Ouyang Jiong beside him, "Whose mansion is this?"

In the past few days, after seeing the Dashun Army, which was no less than his Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo method, Ouyang Jiong was afraid of any mistakes, so he followed Yang Tingyu firmly. After hearing his question, he quickly replied: "This is the residence of Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan, in the capital. Now his father Wu Xiang lives here. A few days ago, General Liu came to inquire in person. He heard that he had taken away a concubine of Wu Sangui and injured Wu Xiang. General Yuan, who was responsible for this piece of stolen money, had not criticized him too much. General Liu let go after he came. He questioned him day and night. He was the last family in Nanxunfang who had not completed the task of recovering stolen money."
