Yi Tusheng transferred all the swordsmen in black clothes, swordsmen in purple clothes, and swordsmen in red clothes to the prison in Fusi, Beizhen, and arranged 500 strong bows and crossbows, and 500 Folan machine muskets around them. Almost pulled out the Shenwu cannon. He only waited for the assassins to rescue Zhu Youjian before shooting him with arrows. Therefore, the courtyard looks very peaceful on the surface, and there are very few patrolling guards.
Around the second watch, a group of men in black arrived as promised and jumped in from the wall. Yi Tusheng was looking at them from a distance. There were dozens of masters with him, including Vajra Buddha. , Shen Tuo and Qiu Bearded Guest, but no one said anything and just let them in. The man in black had probably never been to Fusi Prison in Beizhen. It took him a long time to find the cell door and file in.
There was a sound of killing immediately inside, and Yi Tusheng knew that the brothers guarding the prison must have been sent to the Paradise again. There was nothing that could be done about it. To achieve great things, there must be some sacrifices. The weak and the strong were the methods of nature. He could only silently pray for these brothers in his heart and wish them to ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
After a while, the man in black came out with a death row prisoner on his back. A few people stood guard in front, and the people behind tiptoed to the ground. A series of afterimages passed through the air, and they came straight to the wall to see him. His movements and speed are clearly not weak in Qinggong. In a matter of seconds, these people had just arrived near the top of the wall, and the five hundred crossbows hidden on both sides of the wall came out. They aimed at the men in black and fired suddenly. The men in black were immediately miserable. Yelling, nearly half of them were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The remaining half should be the masters among the masters. They all have the ability to listen to the sound and shift their positions. They actually dodged the arrows one by one. Suddenly, one of them yelled: "The wind is tight, pull the whistle." This is a slang term, which means running away. Yi Tusheng smiled and asked the five hundred musketeers to replace the five hundred archers. When they got closer, he shouted: "Shoot!"
Suddenly, on both sides of the walls, crackling gunshots could be heard, making people¡¯s eardrums numb, followed closely by screams, running sounds, and calls for help. Another twenty or thirty men in black were killed by bullets, and only one man was limping without any vital injuries.
Yi Tusheng had no time to play hide-and-seek with him, and he had no interest in catching him alive. He shouted, "Fire the arrows, fire the guns!" Five hundred crossbowmen and five hundred musketeers launched at the same time, and there was a burst of crackling and thundering, and the last one The man's body was beaten into pieces by the intensive muskets and arrows. Of course, Zhu Youjian, who was carrying him behind him, could not escape this fate. Yi Tusheng laughed and jumped off the wall, picked up a human head from the pool of blood, and saw that it was Zhu Youjian. He laughed and thought, this bastard Chongzhen is finally dead.
Yi Tusheng asked everyone to clean up the battlefield, and he found a red lacquer wooden box, covered Zhu Youjian's head with quicklime and placed it inside, thinking that he should report it to the emperor.
Yi Tusheng took the lacquered wooden box and went straight to the palace. It was almost dawn when he arrived at the palace. He was afraid that the little emperor would be punished if he saw the heads of his relatives, so he did not dare to wake up the emperor, so he waited outside the window until around nine o'clock in the morning before the little emperor got up. The maid on duty immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Anping has been kneeling outside the window all night."
"This is all lies. Yi Tusheng asked her to say so. This little girl usually received many benefits from Yi Tusheng, so of course she said good things for him. The little emperor asked in confusion: "What did he come for? Did he say anything?" The palace maid shook her head and said, "Nothing happened. He just held a brocade box in his hand, probably to give you a gift for Your Majesty."
The little emperor said: "Then hurry up and send him in."
Yi Tusheng heard everything clearly from outside. When he came out, he gave a thumbs up to the palace maid. The palace maid pursed her lips and snickered. Yi Tusheng slapped her hard on her buttocks, making a snapping sound, and then Holding the brocade box and hunched over, he walked in. The little emperor probably smelled the smell of blood, and said a little unhappily: "Xiao Yizi, what are you bringing to me? Why are you kneeling outside and not coming in?"
Yi Tusheng fell to his knees like a wooden stake and cried bitterly: "To inform the emperor, this servant is not here to give gifts to the emperor. The servant's brocade box contains the head of King Xin Qiansui. Last night the letter was sent to the emperor. Wang Qiansui colluded with a group of desperadoes and wanted to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor. Fortunately, he was intercepted by his slaves outside the Fusi Gate in Beizhen. After a bloody battle, the slaves killed more than a hundred of his men and were seriously injured before they could capture the thieves. Sha San, King Xin Qiansui committed suicide because he was afraid of being punished by you, the emperor. It¡¯s all my fault, it¡¯s all my fault.¡±
The little emperor screamed and almost fell off the couch. He said in fear: "What are you talking about? Your brocade box contains human heads. Take it away quickly. Take it away quickly."
Yi Tusheng cried: "Last year, King Xin died at a thousand years old, and his servants came to claim his guilt. "The little emperor said: "You are not only innocent but also meritorious. King Xin intended to rebel, and everyone found it and punished him. I forgive your innocence, but the person is dead, and there is no need to pursue it. You go down and pass on my message. According to the decree, bury him properly according to the royal etiquette. "
"The emperor is magnanimous. He is truly an emperor for eternity and an emperor for eternity. I will thank you for your kindness on behalf of King Xin. I will thank you for your kindness. I will resign. I will resign."
As soon as Yi Tusheng exited Xinuang Pavilion and walked to the lotus pond, he pointed at Zhu Youjian's head and cursed: "You still want to have a grand burial, you are so beautiful, get out of here!" He kicked it out. He kicked the brocade box and the head into the lotus pond, cleaned his clothes twice, and walked away with his arms swaying.
It wasn¡¯t until he got home that Yi Tusheng remembered: Damn it, I forgot to leave anyone alive and asked them, what was the name of the Nanjing general who wanted to rebel and support King Xin? I heard that this man has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If he doesn't get rid of them as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles.
Yi Tusheng hurriedly ordered Yu Chenmaxiu to search the clothes of the assassins, but he came back and reported that nothing was found. The reason was that the arrows and muskets were so dense that they were all sifted through the sieve, and nothing whole could be found at all. Yi Tusheng touched his nose, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "I am so smart for a lifetime, but confused for a moment."
Although the clues were broken, this person must be found. Early the next morning, Yi Tusheng ran to Fusi, Beizhen, to look for files, and ordered the Jinyi Guards in Jiangnan to step up their investigation of the general with heavy troops.
After some investigation by Yi Tusheng, he finally targeted five people. The first one was Xiong Mingyu, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. This person was an official of the Donglin faction and was always considered to be a good old man, neither good nor bad, and a harmonious person. Mud character. The second one is called Shi Kefa, who is also an official of the Donglin faction. He was the governor of Huaiyang military affairs and the governor of Fengyang, Huainan and Yangzhou provinces. He had great power and had more than 100,000 troops in his hands. He was a powerful man.
The third person is named Ruan Dacheng. This person is Wei Zhongxian's gold medal lackey, governor of Huguang, and military governor of Wood Road. He also has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.
The fourth one is the most remarkable, his name is Zuo Liangyu, Prince Shaobao, Ning Nanbo, and General Pingthi. This man guards Wuchang and has more than 200,000 elite soldiers. He is rough, loves to kill and surrender, and is ambitious.
The fifth one is the leader of the Donglin faction, named Qian Qianyi, the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and he also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.
