Chapter 58 Chapter Fifty-Eighth: Rampaging the Capital

If you want to choose the dirtiest, messiest, most complicated, most corrupt, and most lifeless city, there is no other place but the capital.The West Market in the outer city is the most chaotic and complicated place.The second is the area to the west of Guangning Gate, where dragons and snakes are mixed with right and wrong. In late spring, the warm sunshine brings the breath of summer and drives away the cold spring, making people feel a little lazy instead. It has been three years since Xin Wenzhao returned to the capital. Today he stepped into the square in front of Baiyun Temple, a big man in green clothes emerged from a hut selling Cizhou magnetic Buddha on the left, and walked towards him. He was about to greet him, but the big man winked at him to signal to keep silent.He turned his head knowingly and walked towards a row of sheds not far to the right.

There are stalls selling daily general merchandise, and pilgrims who visit here can buy some cheap goods, and the same goods are much cheaper than in the city. He approached the stall selling Fan Yang hats, squeezed among the customers, took a Fan Yang hat, and checked whether the craftsmanship was fine or not. The big man had come behind him, he also took a felt hat, raised it to cover his face, and said in a low voice: "Master Xin, it's better to leave this place." He was startled, and asked in a low voice: Brother Li, what's the matter? Not yet, but something will happen later.The big man Li Sange replied in a low voice.

something wrong?why?who? There are at least 20 fans here, and I don't know who to plead against.Li Sange gritted his teeth and said. Fanzi refers to a group of foxes and rats in Dongchang, also known as officers. Zuoji refers to visiting and arresting in this area. Pile driving refers to extortion. Xin Wenzhao put down Fan Yang hat and said in a low voice: It has nothing to do with me. I made an appointment with my friends to meet here, so I can't leave.you go!Thank you. Sange Li shook his head and left helplessly. Xin Wenzhao left the crowd and walked towards a tea shed in the northwest corner.

He wore his hair up and didn't wear a scarf, wore a green robe, and didn't wear a belt. He looked neither like a scholar nor like a son of a wealthy family. There are many people dressed more gorgeously than him, and there are many young masters and brothers younger than him, but no one is as outstanding as him. If you want to see women, it is most convenient to catch temple fairs in various places near the capital. Followed by an outing in Xishan.Finally, it is near the fish and algae ponds in the east and west of Nanxiao City outside Chongwenmen. On May 5th, there is a picnic on horseback.

Of course, ordinary people are not allowed to approach on the day of Duanyang on May 5th. Baiyun Temple is the most lively on the 18th and 19th of the first month of the Yanjiu Festival.But usually, the pilgrims here are also here all the year round, forming a market. Among the pilgrims, there must be female relatives. When he saw two sisters-in-law sitting in the tea shed, he couldn't help being startled, and said to himself: Ugh!Where did it come from? The two sisters-in-law were sitting in the corner of the tea shed.There is a covered incense basket on the stool, which can be seen as a person offering incense.

In the eyes of others, these two middle-aged women from a middle-class family are so ordinary that they don't attract attention. Their faces are already old in their early thirties, their ordinary facial features and plain clothes are the same. But he saw something different, in their calm demeanor, there was a cold and ruthless hostility, and a mysterious atmosphere. It seemed that they did not belong to the world, but came from the depths of hell to wander in the world of heaven. ghost. He walked into the tea shed, sat down at the next table, ordered a pot of tea, a plate of walnuts and candied chestnuts, and calmly observed the noisy crowd.

The two female pilgrims glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, expressionless. But he knew that he had attracted the other party's attention. He searches for suspicious persons with his eyes. Originally, if the eagle dogs in Dongchang were wearing uniforms, of course everyone would recognize them. Their top hats and white leather boots were very conspicuous and could be seen at a glance. But if the seat record is modified, it will be difficult to distinguish. There are countless fans in Dongchang, who have traveled all over the Forbidden City and every snake nest and mouse den. From the words and actions of the princes and ministers to the secrets of the peddlers' houses, it can be said that they know everything, which is more shocking than poisonous snakes and beasts. People are afraid.

He has been in the capital for some time, and he is a leader among the famous figures in the capital. Under his big shrewd and sharp eyes, all monsters and ghosts can't hide. With his experience and instinct, he can tell at a glance which is an eagle and which is a dog. There are two eagles inside the tea shed and two dogs outside. Under the majestic archway in front of the view, there are also four eagle dogs. It seems that the tea shed has become the focus of Eagle Dog's attention, and he has inadvertently been involved in the vortex of accidents. So, who is the target? His attention returned to the tea shed.There are not many tea customers in the tea shed, there are more than ten seats, and only five seats are occupied.

The two mysterious female pilgrims in the innermost corner are unlikely to arouse the interest of the eagle dogs. The first table after entering the door was three middle-aged people dressed as country bumpkins.At the second table, there are two stick-shaped young men.The third table is the two eagle dogs, about 30 years old, wearing a lake green blouse, one has thick eyebrows and big eyes, the other has protruding ears, and a sharp mouth shrinks its cheeks.The fourth table is him. He is not afraid of asking for trouble.As far as he knows, in the past three years, he has recorded eight beating incidents in Dongchang.

Hitting the incident is one of the secret words, which means that the case has been submitted to the archives of Dongchang, north of Dong'anmen.However, so far he is still at ease. The Eagles and Dogs of Dongchang, when mentioning Xin Wenzhao, the evil god of the world, even their governor would fight coldly. Supervisor refers to the eunuch who supervises the East Factory. In the past, the emperor selected an admiral from the twelve prisons.Later, the second or third person of Bingbi was specially appointed as the eunuch, because according to the regulations, only the eunuch who was the eunuch could understand writing and ink.

Eunuchs were originally people who had undergone surgery and could not enter Taoism, but at that time eunuchs were monopolizing power and the emperor was fatuous. It was fashionable for eunuchs to buy houses in and outside the city to start a family.The scale of the house is more magnificent and gorgeous than the mansions of princes and ministers. Therefore, they are not considered useless. Every time a case of the Evil God of the Four Seas is submitted to Dongchang, let it go if nothing happens, and if something happens, some eunuchs in power must be in trouble. The Evil God of the Four Seas has many friends. Although the eunuchs' mansions are full of masters, with hundreds of soldiers and strict security, they can't stop the Evil God who comes and goes without a trace, and the revenge is very cruel. Although there are as many hawks and dogs in Dongchang as crucian carp crossing the river, and their eyeliners are all over the world, it is indeed not easy to catch this desperate man who has nothing to worry about.Dongchang secretly offered one thousand taels of silver to buy his head. He also publicly threatened that whoever dares to move his claws against him will have to pay a thousand times the price. Therefore, the lawless lackeys of Dongchang regard him as a thorn in their side, but they are terrified to death. He didn't intend to provoke those running dogs, but when he encountered injustice, he couldn't help but come forward to fight the injustice.Eight cases have been settled in the past three years, which shows the depth of the grievances between the two parties. The hawks and dogs are focusing on the tea shed. Could it be him?A warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he immediately dismissed it. I just wanted to get out, but it was too late.Figures stepped in at the shed door, they were two middle-aged men dressed as servants. The two eagle dogs outside the door made gestures and blocked the door. Hawks and dogs in all directions moved towards the tea shed. The two servants didn't know that the disaster was imminent, so they walked to the second table with two young men dressed in floor sticks, sat down opposite the table, and ordered tea. The servant received the scroll from under the table, and calmly withdrew his hand, just as he was about to stuff it into his arms without anyone noticing it, when a figure flashed, his hand was grabbed by the big-eyed eagle dog. Give it to me, sir.Hawkdog said with a smirk. The other family member was shocked, pushed his chair and ran for his life. puff!With a sound, the eagle dog with a sharp beak and shrunken cheeks struck out with a palm, hitting the ear door, and skillfully grabbed the opponent's hand and twisted it back, and caught it. The two young men rushed out quickly with fast legs, trying to get out from behind the shed. Four eagle dogs entered from behind the shed, and four daggers gleamed coldly, blocking the way. The young man changed color and turned around, it was too late.At the entrance of the shed, more than a dozen hawks and dogs have poured in, and the sharp daggers have laid a net of heaven and earth. Get on your knees and tie!A tall bear-like hawk barked, approaching majestically with his hands on his hips. There was chaos in the square, and idlers fled away one after another. The two young men knew that resistance was futile, so they knelt obediently and tied them, almost froze with fright. The big-eyed eagle dog snatched the scroll, stepped forward to present it to the tall man like a bear, and said respectfully: "The evidence has been obtained, please take a look at it." The officer (fanzi)'s superior officer is the captain, but the outsider is called the stall head, and the stall head is more hateful and hateful than the fanzi. Unroll the scroll at the front of the stall and read: "The Hakka family has 20 hectares of incense fields, and they plan to invade 320 hectares of neighboring fields. The owner of the victim and the number of acres of land invaded are as follows He stopped reading and said with a sneer: Your master dares to take care of Mrs. Fengsheng's affairs, damn it!After finishing speaking, he grabbed a young man and shouted sharply: "Wang An asked you to bring this scroll?"explain! Fengsheng's wife, Hakka, is Wei Zhongxian's concubine in the palace, and also today's nanny, who is promiscuous in the court and extremely vicious. Without her, Wei Zhongxian might not be full of crimes and become a sinner through the ages. Wang An is the eunuch of Li, the only loyal eunuch in the court, and also Wei Zhongxian's benefactor.But Wei Zhongxian tried to kill him all the time. The young man had to admit it if he didn't recognize it, and said with a pale face: "It was the prince who passed it on last night." The young man left behind, smiled at the two servants and said: Don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with you.As long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee your safety.take away! The servant who received the paper roll snorted and said: You don't have to think about it, we have come here with the determination to die, and the failure will be attributed to the destiny, and you will never get a half-sentence confession. Crack crack!He slapped the opponent four times in a row, and said with a changed face: "You dog, when you see the governor, it's not too late to speak hard." Xin Wenzhao left his seat suddenly, held the teacup in one hand, weighed two sugar chestnuts in the other, and said loudly: "Stop!"How to beat and kidnap people?What do you do? The front man's expression changed, he flew into a rage, and shouted: "The eighth thief!"you don't know how to live Before the scolding came to an end, the whole cup of tea had already been splashed on the face. Xin Wenzhao shouted like thunder: Li Baotou, you scolded so hard, I will knock out all your dog teeth and pull out your tongue With the first roar of a tiger, Li Pai hit his face with a palm, like a giant axe, with great strength, determined to win, the distance is very close, and sudden attacks are sure to hit. Xin Wenzhao put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to push away the opponent's heavy palm, stretched his other hand forward, and stuffed two candied chestnuts into the opponent's mouth without missing a beat, which was as fast as lightning. Next, stretch out your feet and hook, move your palms, squeeze your chestnuts, and hook your legs, all done almost at the same instant. boom!Li Dang's head fell down a mountain, and with a strange cry, he spat out two chestnuts, a mouthful of blood, and a few broken teeth. In a hurry, at this moment Xin Wenzhao turned into a gust of wind, swayed to the left, knocked over a hawk dog with a palm, and dodged to the right, knocked down another minion with a punch, then rushed out, kicking his legs in a row, and evened it out Two eagle dogs. At the same time, he shouted: "The one who walks slowly stays alive." There was a violent noise, chickens and dogs jumped in the tea shed, tea tables, stools and chairs flew together, and the whole square was chaotic and people rushed. Xin Wenzhao had already rushed out of the shed, and pulled out the stabbed dagger with one hand, snap!He slapped the opponent with one sound and knocked the eagle dog to the ground. Someone rushed up from behind, and the dagger stabbed him in the back of the heart. He seemed to have eyes behind his back, twisted his waist, and the dagger missed and slid past his flanks.With a retraction of his arm, he grabbed the opponent's forearm holding the dagger, and turned around sharply. Snapped!The arm holding the dagger was broken. In a moment, the hawks and dogs fell down and fled, and more than 20 hawks and dogs fled in a panic.He was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, he slapped his legs and flew through the storm, and someone fell to the ground when he touched his body. Six of the hawk dogs failed to escape because they were knocked unconscious. Xin Wenzhao still wanted to chase, but suddenly someone shouted in the distance: Nanhaizi's forbidden army is coming, let's go! He looked back at the tea shed, and found that the two female pilgrims hadn't left. The two lads had already escaped in disorder.Of the two servants, only one left, the other was bruised by the tea table, and leaned under the broken table, moaning. He got into the tea shed and carried the servant on his shoulders. One of the female pilgrims smiled lightly and said: You are making a big mess, Your Excellency. He laughed loudly, patted his chest and said: Don't worry, I have one life, and I can afford to provoke and let go of big troubles. oh!Yes, what's your surname? You can inquire.Hahaha!If you don't stop me, I'm going to leave. Huh!Why should I stop you? hehe!I hope you are not a group of foxes and dogs in charge.he laughed. Carrying one of the servants on his shoulders, he walked out of the shed. The organizational system of Dongchang often changed, and the number of people also increased or decreased according to the style of each emperor. Usually there is an admiral (supervisor), and there are foremen and foremen under the superintendent, all of whom are trusted eunuchs. The head of the class, whose duties and powers are also in charge of a group of Jianghu masters who are not in the establishment, this group of people is called Ti Qi, and when the token arrives, the world is in a commotion. Under the foreman, there is a criminal officer, who is selected by Jin Yiwei from thousands or hundreds of households, and is also divided into two, called the criminal officer and the criminal officer. The following is the captain (stall head), and under the chief is the officer (fanzi). Xin Wenzhao thinks that the two female pilgrims are Ti Qi, so they are the gangsters in charge. Common people who violate the law must be prosecuted and judged by officials. For more serious crimes, they must be tried by the yamen at the county, prefecture, and government levels, and finally sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Capital crimes must wait until later for execution. But Dongchang is the emperor's private agency that is beyond the law and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There is no need for trial for murder, and princes and ministers are also arrested and killed. Sometimes after killing, even the emperor can't hear the slightest news. Later, Xuedizi in the Qing Dynasty originated from Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty. There are many houses of rich families in the nearby garden Luobu; Baiyun Temple itself has more than ten halls, which are magnificent in scale. He took his servants to the north, and when they arrived at the backyard of a huge mansion, he put them under the whitewashed wall, and said: Brother, can you go by yourself? The servant's face was pale, and he said with a wry smile: "Yetai, let's go!"I can still walk. Do you want me to give you a ride? Thank me Who are you The younger one is Wang Yushi's servant. oh!It turned out to be Wang Xinyi, Lord Wang.In September last year, Mr. Wang impeached the pair of men and women for the matter of offering incense to Huotian and Wei Xie to lead the Mausoleum, and also accused the emperor of being unfavorable and inappropriate. He almost lost his head. You go back and persuade the old man that the thief will be defeated, but it is not the right time. The only thing you can do now is to maintain loyalty and righteousness for the court, and be kind to all people. You must not rush to investigate for trivial matters. Even if it is found out that the Hakka family's false decree to rob the people's fields, it is absolutely difficult to bring down that slut with such a trivial matter, you know?you go!The chasers are approaching, I block them. After seeing off Wang Yushi's servant, he quickly took off his long gown, revealing his green tights inside, and the leather waist guard with a hidden weapon handle, and concealed a shakuhachi dagger. He held the coat with his left hand, and tried to draw the dagger with his right hand. Ready to go, the other end of the white wall, the enemy has been found. One, two, three, a total of six middle-aged people appeared, flying away like flying. A warning came to his mind, it was Tiqi who came, not Fanzi, nor the leader, but Tiqi had such superb skills. He stepped back, into the open to cast. Six people flew over, facing each other. The leader had a big horse face, pale and yellow as if just recovering from a serious illness, tall and strong, wearing a pair of Emei thorns and approaching to the inside, asked in a deep voice: "Friend, is that you?" It's me, what's your opinion?He answered coldly. What about the people you bring? sent away.he said proudly. What is your brother's name? If you can't keep me, you don't need to know; if you keep me, you will know naturally, why ask? That's too bold of your man, you know who you're up against? Seeing injustice in the road, meddling in the management, who cares what you are? Do you know Li Taitou? Five tigers, eight beasts and twelve fierce gods, I know all of them. It turns out that you deliberately opposed us. You just know now, lol!He answered with sarcasm and disdain. snort!Just laugh!You won't be able to laugh anymore.After capturing you, I will first goug out your eyeballs. I have the same idea below, let's go!dude. The big man waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Brothers, retreat, if I don't pluck out his eyes today, my title of Hades Zhang will be wiped out." I bet your name will be wiped off before long.You Yan Wang Zhangyuan is a giant bandit in Xishan, how carefree you are?Wouldn't it be chilling to be a running dog who has no shame and no shame?What a waste of time, man. Yan Wangzhang was furious, roared, rushed up, grabbed out his claws, and the golden eagle offered its claws and walked to the middle palace, attacking fearlessly. Xin Wenzhao already knew the opponent's details, and the chances of winning were within his grasp, so he was no longer polite, took off his robe and made way for a quick grab, counterattacked the opponent's elbow with all kinds of tricks, forcing the opponent to retreat and change his moves. Yan Wangzhang was quite clever, Shen Yao pulled his body and turned around to find something, counterattacked his right rib, and his reaction was extremely quick and neat. Oops!Xin Wenzhao shook his left hand, and his robe covered him like a fishnet. Yan Wang Zhang had no choice but to change his tactics, and hurriedly grabbed the robes that had come from Gai.Can take care of the top, can't take care of the bottom, poof!With a sound, Xia Yin received a slap that was neither light nor heavy. Hey King of Hades screamed and squatted down. quick!quick!quick!Lian Sankui, only felt a blackness in front of the eyes, a bone-piercing pain came, and a pair of eyes disappeared. Xin Wenzhao floated eight feet sideways, dropped the eyeballs in his hands and laughed loudly: Not only are you blind, but you can also become a eunuch!Birds of a feather flock together, you can enter the palace to be company with the eunuchs, hahaha Help Hades screamed wildly, arched his body and rolled all over the floor. The change was too fast, and the outcome was already decided in a face-to-face meeting, and no one could rescue them in time. The other five gasped, as if they had been electrocuted. Stunned and stunned, the figure approached like lightning, with dazzling brilliance and strong sword aura, he had already approached wildly. The five people were horrified, and the five sides divided urgently. The brilliance of the dagger swirled and flashed, and the two people who had retreated for an instant slowed down with a crack in their chests screaming. Xin Wenzhao's dagger swept across to the right, and two knives burst open, driving straight in. Guanghua spat out and swallowed quickly, and penetrated into the right flank of an eagle dog. Seeing the opportunity, the other minion fell on his back and rolled quickly to the side, avoiding a dagger piercing his chest. The minion on the left was much smarter than his companion, so he ran away, jumped two feet, and fled desperately. The person who rolled over and escaped a dagger just pulled it up, when the figure flew across the sky, there was a muffled pop, the toe of his shoe hit his spine, and he fell heavily forward again. Only one person escaped, Xin Wenzhao did not want to give up, and launched a super light kung fu, chasing after him relentlessly.It's a pity that the start was too late, and the opponent had escaped twenty steps away. If he is willing to let go, there is no need to call the evil god! Bu five steps, ten steps is about to catch up. At the corner of the white wall, twelve minions wearing arrow clothes suddenly rushed out. Save me, those who escaped screamed. I only felt that my spirit was slackened, and I fell to the ground with a bang, losing my strength. Twelve people shouted and divided the two sides. Xin Wenzhao didn't dare to rush forward rashly, stopped a few meters away, and sneered, "Okay!"You go together, so that the uncle will not waste his time. A middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he called out in shock: Xin Wenzhao, the evil god of the four seas! With his cry, the remaining eleven companions were shocked, and they stopped their charge, and all eleven of them changed their faces. Ha ha!Someone actually recognizes me. It turns out that you are the wild foxes in Nanhaizi.he laughed. The leader withdrew his sword to defend himself, and said angrily: "Xin, you are going too far." He snorted and said with a low face: "Fuck your shit!"You say uncle is too much? Once you come, the Governor will never let you go. Tell him to come by himself, but the uncle still refuses to let him go! OK, let's see, bye. Wait a minute, take a few words for the uncle. you Tell him to ask his group of loyal fox dogs if they are willing before sending out the lackeys? you mean The uncle has already found out the details of his close minions and eunuchs, such as Li Yongzhen, Li Xian, Li Mingdao, Cui Wensheng and so on.San Li's outer house is in Gulouxie Street; Cui Wensheng's outer house is beside Beiyuhe Bridge. Think about it, how many dogs and men live in it?Are there two hundred? As long as half a watch, two hundred dogs and men, the uncle guarantees that all of them will fall to the ground, otherwise they will not be worthy of being called the evil gods of the world. Let's wait and see if you don't believe me. Your Excellency is too self-indulgent If the uncle is incompetent, he is not worthy of rampaging around the capital, do you think so? you Go back and report to your master, tell him that today's matter is over.The uncle didn't intend to make things difficult for him, he had not been admiral of the East Factory for less than a year, he had better ask the previous supervisor to estimate Xin's strength. Tell him that he and Ke's two men and women's outer houses are not enough for two hundred internal troops in each house. Those muskets and nine-dragon barrels have not been put on Xin's heart. The uncle was so annoyed that one day, the uncle would go on a killing spree, killing people and setting turkeys at bay, so I told him not to make trouble on Tai Sui's head.Remember?You can go.
