Chapter 164: The Night Walk in Jinyi
"Why did Chu Yun collude with the Mongols? Is their quarrels internally?" a man whispered.
"We can't judge just by just talking and saying something." One person said, "Why don't we just hit it indirectly?"
"Okay." Several people made up their ideas and attracted waiters.
"Masters, what kind of food do you want to add?" The waiter saw the person beckoning him and quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Waiter, how could we receive the Mongols when we heard about the Liaodong inspection? Isn't that the enemy of our Ming Dynasty?" asked a guest who was drinking.
"You are also a wise man, don't you understand the art of unity and horizontal? There are performances in the dramas of the Three Kingdoms. During the Guandu period, Cao and Liu faced the two Yuans, and during the Red Cliff period, Sun and Liu fought against Cao together. How could anyone be the eternal enemy?" said the waiter.
"You waiter is a bit smart. But the court has a order, and our Ming Dynasty strictly prohibits trade with Mongolia and Jurchens. Will this behavior of Liaodong inspectors be against the court and against the emperor?" asked another guest who was drinking.
"I heard that the accents of you masters were brought from the capital and Tianjin Wei, right? They lived in the wealthy Zhili Prefecture, and they didn't know the suffering of our people in southern Liaoning. A year ago, we were not well-fed or warm and we had to be enslaved by the Jurchens. Now the inspector expelled the Tartars, restored trade in southern Liaoning, and allowed us to have this stable life. If there were no safe days, we would still care about the ban." The waiter Nunu said.
"Don't be upset, my brothers come to Liaonan to do business, just because they are curious that Liaonan is very different from our Zhili Prefecture, so I couldn't help asking a few more questions. This is some tea money, please keep it. "A man who seems to be the leader among several guests put a small piece of silver on the table.
"You guys are so generous, thank you guys!" The waiter was overjoyed to accept tips when he saw several customers selling generously.
When the waiter walked away, the leader picked up the wine glass and sipped it, and said in a low voice: "There are rumors in the capital, 'The dragon rises to the south of Liao, and finally goes to the heavenly palace'. It seems that the people in southern Liao really only recognize Chu Yun but not His Majesty."
"Sir, we are ordered to investigate the whereabouts of Liu Yingkun, Huang Qianhu, the Governor of the Jinyiwei, Mao Wenlong, and the former general of Dongjiang Town, but we can never know where they are now. In small terms, most of the people sent by the imperial court were under house arrest by Chu Yun or even killed." A guest also whispered.
Several guests were at a loss.
At this moment, a person walked into the Zuixiang Tower and walked straight to a building next to the stove.
"Xiao Liu, are you back? What are you getting?" Several guests saw the man coming and quickly set a seat.
The man called Xiaoliu sat down and raised the teapot and poured it into his mouth: "Oh, I'm so thirsty, don't you tell me, I went through so much hardship, I've heard some useful news!"
"What news?!" Several guests saw that the man had information and their eyes were shining.
"The former eunuch Liu Yingkun, who came to restore the Liao army to serve as the military supervisor half a year ago, was suspected to have been detained by Chu Yun. The place where the detention is near Chu Yun's mansion, separated by several houses." Xiao Liu said.
"Your information is serious? Where did you get it?" the leading man said in surprise.
There is finally a breakthrough in this case!
"I was monitoring near Chu Yun's mansion and found that there was a house with two soldiers guarding each day. Every day, a servant came in and out to buy vegetables, but I had never seen the owner come out. I talked with the shop owner who was doing business nearby and found that this house was where Chu Yun had settled Eunuch Liu!" Xiao Liu gestured on the wooden table and said excitedly, "Do you think there is such a coincidence in this world? If the person living in the house was not the Eunuch Liu who was under house arrest, who else could it be?"
"Okay! Xiao Liu, you have made great contributions this time. When I go back, I will report to the commander. You guys may be able to build a hundred families!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Liu's eyebrows were flying, his efforts were not in vain.
"Everyone, we will venture to this house tonight to rescue Eunuch Liu, and we can go back to Beijing to report to His Majesty." The leader was also a little excited, "This is the first major case handled by our Jinyiwei after the fall of the eunuch party. If Chu Yun's rebellion is committed, each of us can be promoted to another level."
"There is nothing in this world that our Jinyiwei cannot do! It's just an ordinary house, so it's easy to get it!" Several Jinyiwei who pretended to be civilians rubbed his hands excitedly.
The house Xiao Liu said was separated from Chu Yun's mansion. Compared with the patrol mansion with heavy troops, this house with only two guards was quite depressed. Chu Yun even felt that it was a waste to use two soldiers to guard one of the useless Eunuch Liu, and was planning to send Eunuch Liu to the mine to mine together. However, Chu Yun was busy with various affairs and led his army to the northern expedition, and even forgot that there was a useless Eunuch Liu here.
As night fell, the streets of Jinzhou City became dark. Tonight's moonlight was covered by dark clouds. When the hand was out, the snowflakes like goose feathers were falling. Only the big lanterns hung by wealthy families on both sides of the street were still shining with dim light, illuminating the originally white snowflakes to the light yellow. There were also two small lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate of the house. The two soldiers on duty changed a group of people to be responsible for the night.
In the alley near this house, several men in night clothes carefully touched the wall and approached the house. Below the corner was deep snow.
"Why are you blocking my way?"
"So what if you block your way? I think you deserve a beating!"
On the street near this house, two drunkards gathered together on the street, breaking the tranquility of the night. Chu Yun did not impose a strict curfew on the territory, so it was not uncommon for someone to get drunk at this time.
"You two men don't go back to warm up the bed with the women in winter, but instead get drunk and tantrums outside. Could it be that they were blown out by the women at home?"
The two soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but make fun of them when they saw the two big men fighting together.
"June, please give me a comment. Someone is walking well on this street. The drunkard hit someone himself and said that someone blocked his way. It's really unreasonable!" a big man shouted.
"Your words cannot be convinced. We only saw two drunks fighting." The soldiers guarding the gate laughed even more happily.
It was this time! Several men hid in the alley skillfully threw the flying hook over the wall, hooked the edge of the wall, and then climbed up, like balls of black shadows rushing into the yard.
