The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 407 A Good Opportunity to Kill Chickens and Monkeys

Although he was a little surprised at first, Jiang Chuan soon realized that this was actually normal.

Regardless of Li Zicheng's background, in this era, after all, he is a hero who stirs up the situation and almost overturns the world.In terms of his plot, it is actually a logical thing to place eyeliner in the capital.

"How much do you know about these people now?" Jiang Chuan asked after calming down.

"The capital has a large population, mixed with fish and dragons, and various forces are entangled with each other. The time for Black Ice Terrace to enter the capital is short, so the exact situation of these people has not been found out until these few days. According to the preliminary estimation of the subordinates, the core personnel of these people should be There are around 50 people, and all the other peripheral personnel are recruited on the spot. Many of them cover their identities as servants of some court dignitaries, which is also convenient for inquiring about the court's movements. The core of these people is a nickname The man named Yaozi, his cover identity is a steward in Duke Wei's mansion, and his pseudonym is Liu Xin."

Chen Zhaojun said in a low voice the news he had found.

Jiang Chuan's eyes froze when he heard the words Wei Guogong's mansion, and Chen Zhaojun was keenly aware of this, and continued: "Your Highness, according to the investigation of my subordinates, this Wei Guogong Liu Lin is very likely to have contact with Li Zicheng."

"Is there any evidence?" Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice, frowning.

"My subordinates have investigated a wandering Taoist who came to Duke Wei's mansion two months ago. He is said to be very accurate in fortune-telling. He was treated as a guest by Liu Lin, Duke of Wei. According to the information we have, this person's appearance and stature are very similar to that of Li Zicheng's military adviser Song Xiance. Moreover, Liu Xin, the steward, entered Wei Guogong's mansion as a steward five days after the Taoist left. Therefore, the subordinates have reason to believe this Wei Guogong Liu Lin and Li Zicheng colluded together, and Liu Xin is not only the link between the two parties, but also the person in charge of the spies of the Dashun Army in the capital."

Hearing this, the doubts in Jiang Chuan's heart were finally resolved.Now he finally understood why he felt Wei Guogong Liu Lin was hostile to him. It turned out that his arrival ruined his plan to join Li Zicheng.

Originally, after he heard about Liu Yao being imprisoned in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison by the emperor, he thought it was because of this incident that Liu Lin became hostile to him.

From the looks of it now, that was at best a superficial reason, and the real reason was that his own arrival had ruined his future.

In this way, everything makes sense.

With Liu Lin as an insider, these assassins were naturally prepared to know the time and route of Jiang Chuan's entry into the city, and they were able to escape smoothly afterwards, so everything was explained.

But what surprised Jiang Chuan even more was the intelligence gathering capability of Heibingtai.In fact, it has only been less than half a year since the Black Ice Terrace entered the capital, but its intelligence gathering ability is really amazing, and even such a secret thing has been found out.

"You have done a good job, and this king will reward you. You said earlier that there are quite a few people colluding with Li Zicheng, who else are there?" Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice.

After Chen Zhaojun thanked Jiang Chuan, he said a few more names, most of them were nobles, and there were also a few clan figures.

"These idiots who have forgotten their ancestors, really think that they can continue their moth life by taking refuge in Li Zicheng. It's ridiculous." Hearing the names of those clans, Jiang Chuan scolded coldly.

Chen Zhaojun waited silently for Jiang Chuan's order.

"I caught a prisoner today, and I will hand it over to you for interrogation. I don't care what method I use. I only want his confession. Of course, I don't mind having a few more names on the statement." Jiang Chuan's voice became cold .

Chen Zhaojun's eyes moved slightly, and he bowed and said in a low voice, "This subordinate understands that there must be results before dark."

Jiang Chuan called Bai Mu and asked him to hand over the assassin prisoners captured today to Chen Zhaojun for interrogation.

After Chen Zhaojun went down, Jiang Chuan lay on a bamboo recliner and closed his eyes, meditating.

It is now basically certain that today's assassination incident was planned by the old Wei Guogong Liu Lin.And it also involved more honorable clans.

When I first came to the capital, I originally planned to wait and see before making any plans, but I didn't expect these people to attack me first.

But that's okay, these idiots' deadly behavior just gave me a chance to justifiably kill others.

Now that it's delivered to your door, let's use these chicken heads to frighten other monkeys who are about to move.

Jiang Chuan naturally had plans for the attitude of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the honorable clan.

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. In the words of the founder of the country in my previous life, it is to unite all the forces that can be united.

However, Jiang Chuan also added a sentence: strike all enemies that must be attacked.

In terms of interests, if Jiang Chuan wants to overthrow the Ming court, the last thing he wants to do is the current Ji family clan.After all, the rich and noble lives of these people are based on their royal family.

Once the dynasty changes, these people will become the evildoers of the previous dynasty.According to the practice of the past dynasties, if they can save their lives, it is considered a high incense.

The second is those nobles who are deeply favored by the emperor. Their ancestors were all conferred titles with the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they can be regarded as shareholders in the big group of the Ming Dynasty. Although they basically only participate in dividends, they do not interfere. Company affairs, however, are also entangled with various interests.

So they are the second group unwilling to have Ming Dynasty subverted.Of course, there are not a few people like Wei Guogong Liu Lin who want to continue or even expand their power and status through Li Zicheng. After all, although life is good for these nobles, there are many restrictions from the court.

The group of officials who may have the least affection for the court is the group of officials.They are all floating officials, which means that they may be laid off at any time, unlike the clan and nobles, which can be hereditary.

Moreover, the main force working in the imperial court is these officials who have been promoted through step-by-step examinations.

They are equivalent to the company's external employees at all levels. Once the company is likely to close down, they are the first group of people to leave. After all, the company is only an employment relationship with them. If the owner fails, they will just change to another owner.And those clans and nobles certainly couldn't slap their butts and leave so easily.

Once the company goes bankrupt, the big boss hangs up or runs away with his sister-in-law, all kinds of debts, property rights and other issues have to be settled with them, the shareholders and relatives of the big boss.

Therefore, based on the above analysis, Jiang Chuan's attitude is very clear, to win over officials, to restrict nobles, and to suppress clans.

Of course, this is just the basic policy. Among the officials there are those who are loyal to Daming, and among the nobles and clans there are those who are willing to find new ways out for themselves. Specific issues still need to be dealt with concretely.

After sorting out the clues in his heart, Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and let out a long breath of relief.

To be honest, Jiang Chuan prefers to fight with open swords and guns on the battlefield than to intrigue and calculate with these people.

But he also knows that since he has embarked on this path, all these must be experienced.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and several eunuchs brought a large wooden basin and hot water for bathing.

Many people think that only the palace has eunuchs, but it is not.There are eunuchs in every prince's mansion, even the palace of the princess or the mansion of the royal clan, and the emperor is not the only one who is afraid of wearing a cuckold.

Therefore, there are eunuchs in the palace of Jiangchuan, and they are all rewarded by the emperor from the palace.

The leading eunuch looked dignified and calm. Jiang Chuan not only asked curiously: "What's your name? That yamen in the palace before?"

The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the maidservant is called Zhang Shun, and she used to serve the ancestor in the supervisor of ceremonies. The ancestor saw that the maidservant was quite capable, so he asked the maidservant to serve His Highness."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, and asked, "Old ancestor?"

Zhang Shun lowered his eyebrows and replied: "Your Majesty, the ancestors are the respectful names of the court ladies and eunuchs in our palace to Eunuch Wei, who is in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies. The other servants and servants of the supervisor of ceremonies are all respectful as ancestors."

Only then did Jiang Chuan suddenly understand, remembering that the Ming Dynasty 1566 that he had seen before seemed to be called this way, and not only laughed.

"I didn't expect you to be someone close to Eunuch Wei. How is Eunuch Wei?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Everything is fine with Mr. Wei, the old man, but he always misses His Highness. Before the slaves came, Eunuch Wei repeatedly told the slaves to take good care of His Highness. Eunuch Wei said that His Highness is the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing in this world is not to be neglected. It is Your Highness." That Zhang Shun spoke in a sincere tone, not annoying, and listening to Jiang Chuan felt very comfortable.

His heart moved, thinking to himself what is the relationship between Zhang Shun and Wei Zhongxian, is it really Wei Zhongxian's confidant?
Regarding the relationship between Wei Zhongxian and himself, Jiang Chuan actually didn't take it very seriously.After all, he is that towering tree now, and both Wei Zhongxian and Xia Junze are just vines that want to cling to his own big tree.

If Wei Zhongxian is willing to be sincerely loyal, then I don't mind letting him cling to him and give him a chance.

If Wei Zhongxian had two-sided betting plans, then it would be hard to keep him.All the people in this mansion have to be carefully screened.

The eunuch Zhang Shun looked at the young, handsome and imposing King Qin, who suddenly fell into deep thought and didn't dare to say anything. He knelt on the ground and bowed his head without saying a word.

After these eunuchs were castrated, they were less courageous than ordinary people.Jiang Chuan's aura was cultivated from fighting on the battlefield and commanding thousands of troops. It has both evil spirits and the strength of the superiors. It is fine when he usually smiles and talks, but at this moment there is a sudden silence, and there is a sudden silence. This kind of feeling of not being angry and arrogant made Zhang Shun feel like he was facing a fierce tiger, and his body couldn't help trembling.

At this moment, Bai Mu's voice came from outside: "My lord, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, has come and said that he came to visit the lord by order."
