Li Zicheng was furious. He had been struggling for more than ten years before he could become Emperor Dashun today.

A group of businessmen dared to deceive him, treat him as a pawn, and told him not to be angry.

Li Zijing was startled by Li Zicheng and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty asked me to monitor Fan Yongchun and the Fan family's business. Recently, I discovered that the Fan family not only did not prepare to send money, grain and supplies to Your Majesty, but also secretly transferred supplies from shops in the city."

Li Zicheng had a gloomy face and instantly realized that the Fan family was going to run away.

"Where are they moving?" Li Zicheng asked in a deep voice.

Li Zijing said: "To the north, not only the Fan family, but also several businesses including the Wang family, Tian family, Huang family, etc. who provided us with money and grain, were secretly transporting supplies to Zhangjiakou."

"Zhangjiakou?" Li Zicheng had a dark face.

Gao Huan said that the Fan family colluded with Jiannu, but Li Zicheng did not care at first, thinking that Gao Huan was sowing discord. Now it seems that he should be inseparable from all sides.

This made Li Zicheng look as deep as water and was extremely angry. It was not because the Fan family colluded with Jiannu, but because his hero and Emperor Dashun were regarded as pawns by a group of merchants.

If the Fan family had long surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, then there was a premeditation to support him before, and he was just a pawn used by the Qing Dynasty to shake the Ming Dynasty.

This made Li Zicheng feel ashamed and furious, "Damn Fan Yongdou, dares to use me. They will not surrender to me even if they surrender to the barbarians. This is seeking death!"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth. This group of people dared to underestimate him so much, which made him extremely angry.

Li Zicheng looked at Li Zijing angrily and said cruelly: "Tell me my order and arrest these profiteers for me. I cannot let them escape. I will cut them into pieces and not leave any of them!"

Li Zijing was excited and immediately clasped his fists: "My brother will accept the order!"

After speaking, Li Zijing hurriedly left.

Li Zicheng said aloud: "Go and call Liu Zongmin here."

When the guards outside the palace heard the order, they hurried to the palace to pass the order.

Liu Zongmin is in prison? He tortured and arrested Taiyuan officials and gentry and forced them to hand over the money to atone for their sins.

At this time, in the prison, the soldier stood with his knife. From time to time, there was a crisp sound of a whip whip slashing the air, the sizzling sound of a soldering iron burning on people, and the prisoner screamed.

Various torture sounds, as well as the sarcastic howls of prisoners? The terrifying begging for mercy? The dark and damp cell seemed particularly terrifying.

At this time, deep in the cell, the brazier was burning with peeling and burning? The light illuminated the torture room? Various soldering irons inside were burning red.

"Sizi" black smoke emerged from the flesh.

“Ah~”

With an inhuman scream, Shanxi governor Wei Zaode was soaked by the iron soldering iron, and then fainted.

At this time, the soldier immediately poured a bucket of cold water on it. Wei Zaode, who had just fainted from pain, was awakened again. He opened his eyes, which were covered in cold water and blood. He saw Liu Zongmin standing in front of him, with an evil smile on his lips.

"The surname of Wei? To be honest, how much money have you greedy for?" Liu Zongmin asked coldly.

Wei Zaode burst into tears? "General Quan? I am really not greedy for money? And the army attacked the city, and I first intend to open the city and surrender."

Liu Zongmin hated corrupt officials. Every time Shunjun broke a city, he would arrest the officials and gentry who had bullied him, question and beat them, watch them beg for mercy to him, and then squeeze their money to let them taste the life of the poor.

A "pop" whip hit Wei Zaode, making him scream.

"You are not honest, how could you not be greedy if you are a provincial governor!" Liu Zongmin didn't listen at all, "If you don't honestly explain today, I will kill you!"

After speaking, he raised his whip and wanted to whip. A subordinate ran over, "General Quan, Your Majesty is looking for you!"

Liu Zongmin was slightly stunned and threw the whip to his subordinates, "You continue to torture and don't get the money from the dog official, don't stop!"

Liu Zongmin gave an order, then tidied up his clothes, left the prison, went to the palace, and came to Li Zicheng.

"Your Majesty called me!" Liu Zongmin clasped his fists.

Li Zicheng said with a dark face: "Fan Yongdou betrayed me. I want you and Li Jiyu to lead troops and immediately kill Zhangjiakou and capture Fan Yongdou and others for me!"

Li Zicheng was able to successfully occupy Guanzhong and Hedong, which was due to the Fan family.

Now that the Fan family betrayed him, fled to Zhangjiakou, or even escaped outside the pass, Li Zicheng naturally could not let him go.

When he captured Luoyang, Nanyang and other places, he seized 20 to 30 million taels of silver and various other treasures, he asked Fan Yongdou and others to exchange for food and military resources.

The Fan family made a lot of money in the transaction, but I don’t know how much money they made.

How could Li Zicheng let the Fan family transfer these things out? He had to deduct money and grain to enrich the Dashun treasury.

Liu Zongmin hated officials, gentry and merchants from the bottom of his heart, and immediately clasped his fists, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will lead my troops to Zhangjiakou!"

When the Taiyuan city gate opened, a team of cavalry rushed out first, and then a large group of infantry came out in a row.

Li Jiyu rode on the horse and asked, "General Quan, what are we doing?"

Liu Zongmin glanced at Li Jiyu and said coldly: "Don't worry about so much, I will tell you naturally!"

When Li Jiyu heard this, he felt a little unhappy. He was Li Zicheng's adopted son at least, but Liu Zongmin never looked at him directly and did not take him seriously.

...

At this time, when Liu Zongmin led his army to Zhangjiakou, the city gate was closed by the soldiers of Shun Army.

The Taiyuan people who were about to leave the city wanted to find out the reason, but the soldiers of Shun Army did not reply, so they had to go home.

At this time, the night gradually deepened, and Taiyuan City, which had been noisy all day, gradually became quiet. The city was covered with darkness, with only patrol soldiers patrolling with torches.

At the third update, a team of Shun Army inner guards appeared in the south city. When they arrived at an alley, two inner guards who had been monitoring here ran out and bowed with their fists, "San Master!"

Li Zijing asked, "Are you still there?"

"It's in the house!" an internal guard reported.

Li Zijing sneered, and this time he was finally going to show his face.

"Enter the surround! Get me some people!" Li Zijing waved his hand, and the inner guards immediately scattered around the alley.

Li Zijing led more than a dozen elite troops to Fan Yongchun's house in the alley.

Li Zicheng ascended the throne and became the emperor. The official system of Dashun was basically copied from the Ming Dynasty [Biquge www.biqugetv.info]. The inner guard of the Shun Army was a benchmark against the Jinyiwei.

After Fan Yongchun went to Zhangjiakou to report to Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongdou sent him back to Taiyuan to preside over the remaining business evacuation matters.

After returning to Taiyuan, he did not live in the Fan Mansion, but stayed in his own house and lived with his concubine.

When Li Zijing came outside the house, he did not hit the door, but climbed through the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard. At the same time, more than a dozen other soldiers climbed over the wall from all directions and sealed off all their ways out.

At this time, Li Zijing brought a few soldiers to the outside of the innermost room. A soldier poked the window, looked inside for a moment, nodded to Li Zijing, indicating that he was still in the room.

Li Zijing waved his hand and whispered: "Get someone!"

With a "boom", the door was knocked open and several soldiers rushed into the room.

Fan Yongchun, who was sleeping soundly with his concubine, woke up from his sleep. Before he could react, he was dragged off from the bed by several soldiers and pressed him to the ground, his mouth was covered.

...

Inside the Taiyuan Prefecture Prison.

A shrill scream echoed in the cell.

Li Zijing asked coldly, "Say! When did you defect to Jiannu?"

"Before Sarhu, the boss had business dealings with Jiannu. I don't know when to surrender, but it must have been more than ten years."

At this time, an eunuch came over and whispered to Li Zijing. Li Zijing asked again: "Why did you support Your Majesty? Was it Jiannu's instructed?"

"It was indeed Jiannu's instructing us to support the Shun Army and to provide other thieves in the relevant areas so that the Shun Army can help them restrain the Ming Dynasty."

Fan Yongchun was very cowardly. After being caught, he tortured for a while and said everything he shouldn't say, like a bean.

In the darkness of the prison cell, Li Zicheng's face was ashen. He was a hero of his life, Emperor Dashun, was actually used as a pawn, which made him extremely angry and deeply humiliated.
