Chapter 34 Four million taels (1)
Hearing the evil spirits of Ye Chen's indifferent words when he gave the order, the generals of the Mu Prince's Mansion looked terrifying, but Mu Jiansheng was seriously injured. If he forced himself to break through, he would be afraid that he would die.
The Lord died, and the family generals should die together!
Seeing three hundred guards rushing up, the woman with black veil suddenly turned her left hand and showed a black petal. A faint black mist was lingering around the petals, emitting a strange fragrance. Fang Yi, who was beside her, accidentally inhaled a trace, and her expression suddenly shook, the fatigue in her eyes faded away, and her whole body became radiant,
The next breath, the woman in black gauze stuffed the petals into her mouth and swallowed them. A wisp of the fragrance of the petals could make people excited, let alone eat them!
The woman's eyes became deep and dark, as if a vortex was formed, and invisible force spread. The steps of the personal guards slowed down and their expressions became dazed.
"The Witch!"
Tulunsheng roared suddenly, the invisible blood evil spirit rolled over, and the guards woke up.
I saw a woman with black veil shaking her hand, and petals formed out of thin air, floating in the air, with gray-black petals, covered with blood-colored lines, faintly outlined into one eye, blood-colored eyes,
The eyes on each petal are different, some are slightly closed, some are open, some are narrowed into thin slits... Hundreds of petals, so many strange eyes are staring straight at them, and a stream of inexplicable momentum is overwhelming, all the guards' scalp numb, and their hearts are full of coldness.
Puff! Seven or eight guards opened their eyes in vain, filled with blood, and a line of blood and tears slowly overflowed from the corners of their eyes, falling to the ground,
Faced with such a situation, many guards stopped and hesitated, fighting with real swords and guns. They were not afraid at all, but they could not bear such a strange death!
"What are you afraid of!" Tulunsheng's roar sounded again behind him, "We all came out of the sea of corpses and blood. We are not afraid of so many unjust souls and resentful ghosts, but we are still afraid of such a mere demonic magic!"
Tulunsheng quickly stepped forward, his invisible evil spirit condensed around him, and he slashed at the outer petals with one sword. There seemed to be a blood-colored river that was hard to see in the naked eye in the sword light. The petals rolled in the blood river were instantly eroded.
The three groups of twenty-seven guards behind him all roared angrily when they saw the deputy commander's power, and slashed over with a knife. The invisible evil spirit swept over and forcibly broke into the formation formed by the petals.
Swish! It sounded like a tearing silk cloth sounded, nearly half of the petals were destroyed, the woman with black veil shook her body, and a thread of blood spilled out of the corner of her mouth.
At the critical moment of life and death, a wave of the woman's eyebrows overflowed, and her body swelled, and she felt like she was in the water, trapped in the blue brick floor, turning into a small earth bun,
"I still want to leave!"
As soon as the soil was moved out of the ground several feet, Ye Chen jumped over and stepped on the ground, and a huge force came to the ground, shaking the woman with black veil out of the ground. The dragon pattern knife hung down and pressed against the latter's fair neck.
Just then, a trumpet of distant horn came, and nearly a thousand soldiers rushed out from all over the streets, surrounded by personal guards.
A large man with a burly figure and beard came out from the crowd, looking at everyone in the field with evil eyes,
"Sir, I'm from the infantry yamen!" Deputy Commander Shou Min walked up to Ye Chen and whispered,
"Did it come very quickly?" Ye Chen nodded.
"Let you lead the way out and speak!" A personal soldier shouted behind the bearded man,
"Shoumin, go and negotiate!" Ye Chen ordered, turned around and asked Tulunsheng to clean up the mess. At this moment, the situation was over. After the death of Prince Mu's mansion, all of them were captured.
"Yes, sir!" Shou Min responded, walking towards the bearded man,
"Which yamen are you from? Shuntian Mansion or from the Ministry of Justice?" Seeing that Ye Chen was not coming, the man just asked his subordinates to come forward, a hint of anger flashed across his face, and his tone couldn't help but rush.
Shou Min said, "Please borrow a step to speak!"
"Just say that, nothing shameful!" The bearded man waved his hand and said,
"You..." Shoumin, as Oboi's confidant, had a very low status. He was so angry that he was shouted like this by the big man. He really wanted to take off his outer armor and slapped him hard.
...
After a while, the casualties were counted. Forty or fifty people were killed and injured by the 300 guards of the personal army, most of whom were injured by the sad and gentle breeze of the Red Eyebrow man. Less than ten people died, after all, they were elites in the Shangsanqi Banner Camp.
"The brothers have made great contributions to killing the thief. Each of them receives a reward of 500 taels of silver. The dead brothers are two thousand taels per person. Any family and children who are bullied by others can report to the private military yamen. Their own commander will take charge of them!" Ye Chen said loudly,
"Thank you, Lord Long!"
Wow! Everyone knelt down, and the shocking roar scared the soldiers of nearly a thousand infantry camp.
The soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Unlike political affairs, soldiers are always working hard with their heads, not for military pay! Even if the salary of the personal guards is not low, the risk factor is far less than that of other military camps, the reward of 500 taels at a time is still a high income. What's more, Ye Chen's last words can save them from their concerns after death. How can they be unhappy!
"One person has five hundred taels! There are at least two or three hundred people, that's more than one hundred thousand taels! What a big deal, how could he get so much money! Could it be..."
Seeing the nine carts of gifts, a hint of greed rose in the eyes of the bearded man. With so much money, it would be easier for him to lead troops!
...
"Return to the palace!" Ye Chen waved his hand and walked towards the palace first.
"Slow!" The bearded man reached out to stop him, his expression slightly strange.
Ye Chen frowned, "Is there anything wrong?"
The bearded man said solemnly, "It is the responsibility of the infantry yamen to arrest important criminals. Although you are a palace guard and have a respectable status, you cannot act without power. If you hand over all the prisoners' stolen goods to me, you will not be investigated!"
"You say it again!" A murderous intent appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
"I will make no changes when the general order is ordered, and you will not retreat yet!"
"Go away!"
"Go away!"
Nearly a thousand soldiers drew their long swords and shouted in unison.
The deafening shouts were like a surging rage rolling towards Ye Chen and others. All the guards changed their expressions slightly, and they were on guard.
"Take off the outer armor!" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice to the guard behind him.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! The sound of iron sheets rubbing, and more than 200 guards pulled off their outer armors quickly, revealing a bright look.
"Yellow jacket!"
Looking at the jacket made of high-end bright yellow silk, all the soldiers in the infantry and military camp were stunned, and the long sword in their hands also dropped.
"You..." The bearded man looked angry and did not dare to do anything randomly.
The emperor gave the yellow jacket. In addition to the emperor's close servants, it was when the emperor was hunting. A few Manchu and Han ministers could wear it for a while, and finally rewarded some heroes, most of whom were civil officials who assisted the emperor in achieving great achievements or military achievements.
The Qing court's previous methods of winning over soldiers were nothing more than awarding the title of "Baturu", "rewarding the flower feather", "creating the title", and "hereditary". This yellow jacket is the highest level of reward.
Once this jacket is worn, it is apart from the glory of status and glory, and it is also a kind of evil to avoid all evil. Except for the emperor and other people, no one can move at all. It is equivalent to a life-saving amulet.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Chen said in a cold voice, saying word by word,
"You..." The bearded man's expression changed and he was reluctant to make up his mind. As he said, the order has been issued, how to change it!
"Sir, he seems to be that person!" The personal soldiers behind the great man suddenly whispered,
"What is this person!" The man turned around and said angrily,
"It's the person in the Hall of Supreme Harmony a few days ago!"
The personal soldier gritted his teeth and said, "That military admonition concerns Xiaozhuang and Kangxi's face. All the ministers knew it well and should not speak nonsense. However, there was no airtight wall, which was already known to everyone in the secret.
"What! It's him!"
The bearded man suddenly changed his expression and his heart was even more shocked. He actually offended this person!
"Let's go!" The great man made a quick decision and turned around and left. Wow! Nearly a thousand infantry soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.
...
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Chen returned to the main hall of the personal army. The three Red Eyebrow men were locked by torture instruments and iron chains. Together with the people of the Prince Mu's mansion, they were imprisoned in the secret room of the backyard of the yamen.
"Have you calculated everything clearly?"
Two quarters of an hour passed, Kerler walked into the lobby with a brocade box. As for the three deputy commanders, they were ordered by Ye Chen to guard the outside.
"Return to the master, nine cars of gold and silver, plus gifts, it was about 37,000 taels. In addition to a sword, Lu Yifeng also found a hundred...one hundred..." Speaking of this, Kerler's words became intermittent,
"explain!"
"One million taels of silver bills!"
Huh! As soon as the words were spoken, Kerle's expression soothed and he let out a long breath.
When the thick stack of silver notes were found from Lu Yifeng, his expression changed and he could hardly control it. However, as soon as he calmed down, his back was soaked with sweat.
"Master!" Kerler respectfully presented the brocade box in his hand to Ye Chen,
"Yeah!" Ye Chen opened the brocade box and saw a stack of silver notes inside. It was a promissory note of Datong Money House, which can be exchanged with the ticket.
Covering the brocade box, Ye Chen frowned slightly and walked and pondered. One million taels were probably not enough for all the officials in the capital. Perhaps half of them were not enough.
"Bring Lu Yifeng up!" After a while, Ye Chen said,
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
