Taking a closer look, Yan Yingyuan saw that Fourth Young Master Wang, a famous evil boy in the Su family, was crying bitterly. He was so soft that he couldn't even kneel down, and there was even a puddle of water on his crotch.

One of the soldiers from the audience picked up the head of an old man with a gray beard, and it turned out to be the famous Jin gentry Wang Dazhao from Jiangyin.

Last year when he came to Jiangyin to serve as Dianshi, he learned that the famous evil boy Wang Si Gong in Sujiaji bullied men and women, and might even kill more than one person, so he tried to deal with this person.

In the end, Lin Zhiji, the county magistrate, dissuaded him, but he still insisted on investigating. Unexpectedly, the governor actually sent a letter and severely reprimanded him, forcing him to stop.

Only then did he realize that Wang Dazhao, the father of Fourth Young Master Wang, had a profound background and great energy.

This old man was a Jinshi during the Wanli period and served as Wailang, a member of the Nanjing Civil Service Department. He was also suspected of being a member of the Donglin Party.

Although he became an official ten years ago, the relationship between the same year and superiors and subordinates has woven into a large network in South Zhili. In Jiangyin, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, which he cannot touch at all.

I don't know whether the Yi army arrived too quickly or for other reasons, but the old man didn't escape to the city in time, and now he was captured by the Yi army.

Thinking of some rumors, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but ask the cavalry commander next to him, "Could this be the 'public trial' in the rumors?"

"That's right." The cavalry commander nodded, "Everywhere our troops arrive, they will conduct public trials on evil gentry and bullies.

Although the Wang family is one of the largest families in Jiangyin, it is notorious. According to our investigation, Wang Dazhao, Wang Baocheng and others not only oppressed good people and took advantage of them, but also cost several lives.

If you look at the reactions of these Sujiaji folks, you will know how many people have been oppressed by them and how many people hate them to the core.

If we had not controlled them just now, these Wang family members would have been beaten to death when they were escorted to the stage. "

"What about the other people on stage?"

"Of course they are all people who have deep resentment among the people and deserve to die."

Then, Yan Yingyuan watched the entire public trial from the sidelines.

He actually felt particularly happy when he saw those evil gentry and bullies being declared guilty by the Tai army and executed on the spot. The people either applauded or cried loudly.

After the public trial, Wei Jun used the confiscated food to help the poor people on the spot, making the people of Sujiaji grateful.

Seeing this, Yan Yingyuan also smiled at first, but then he couldn't help but look worried when he thought of something, and sighed deeply.

"Didn't you say that you want to visit your friend's home? Come over quickly." The commander of the cavalry said at this time.

Immediately, he signaled Yan Yingyuan and others to dismount and followed a group of Yi army infantry into the market.

Now that there are two to three hundred officers and soldiers of the Wei army around, they all seem to be elites. Naturally, Yan Yingyuan and others dare not take action and obey the arrangements honestly.

Soon, Yan Yingyuan came to the home of his friend Su Mingyuan.

Su Mingyuan's family was originally the landowner of Sujiaji, but later fell into decline due to Su Mingyuan's father's generation, and is now a shabby household.

But Su Mingyuan is not only a child, but also a chivalrous person who likes to help others when encountering injustices. Yan Yingyuan received his help while investigating the case of the Fourth Young Master Wang, and thus became friends.

When Su Mingyuan saw Yan Yingyuan staying with Yi Jun, his eyes widened and he said in shock: "Brother Yan, why are you..."

Yan Yingyuan was afraid that his identity would be revealed, so he hurriedly said: "I'm here to visit the patient. How is Uncle Su's illness?"

Su Mingyuan was also smart, and he immediately realized that Yan Yingyuan had probably concealed his identity and came here to find out information about the Eijun army, so he said: "The weather is getting warmer now, and my father's health is getting better."

With that said, Yan Yingyuan was led into the courtyard.

The group of soldiers who escorted Yan Yingyuan and others did not follow them, but they did not leave either. Instead, they stayed outside and stared - the chief of the reconnaissance cavalry said that these people were very suspicious.

Su Mingyuan took Yan Yingyuan into the study, looked out the window, and then whispered: "Brother Yan, how can you be so bold and dare to come to the Su family gathering at this time?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled and said: "If I don't come here, how can I know whether the traitor is real or not?"

"Brother Yan, it's too risky. I'm not the only one who knows you in Sujiaji. If your identity is revealed by others, you won't be able to escape."

"It doesn't matter, I'll leave in a moment, nothing will happen."

After hearing this, Su Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Now the Wei army is unstoppable, and there are even rumors that Nanjing has fallen. Although Jiangyin City is not small, it may not be able to stop the Wei army.

Brother Yan should have seen the public trials and relief operations hosted by the Wei army just now. I am afraid that wherever he goes, the common people will support him, and he can indeed change dynasties. In such a situation, does Brother Yan really want to resist in Jiangyin? "

As soon as he heard this, Yan Yingyuan knew that most of his friends were interested in Wei Jun.

To be honest, he also felt good after seeing Wei Jun's behavior today.

So he sighed: "If I were a commoner, I would probably surrender. But now I am the Jiangyin Classic of the Ming Dynasty - eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. There are some things that I have to do."

Su Mingyuan sighed and said, "Let's go, Brother Yan, go see my father."

After a while, Yan Yingyuan came out of Su's house with three of his men, and saw several groups of Yijun soldiers escorting dozens of "prisoners" out. They seemed to be those who had been ransacked and were not guilty enough to die.

Yan Yingyuan glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head.

Because someone among them knows him!

A steward of Wang Dazhao's family.

I don't know whether it was a step too late, or whether his tall figure was too obvious, but the steward suddenly stopped when he passed by and stared at Yan Yingyuan's back.

"Come on!"

The escorting officers and soldiers of the Yi army urged.

After the steward walked out for some distance, he gritted his teeth and approached the escorting commander of the Yi army and said, "Master, I have something important to report, which is related to the safety of your army!"

The captain scolded, "Come on, don't play tricks!"

The steward said: "Master, this is an urgent military situation. I just hope that your army can make me guilty and meritorious!"

The captain sneered, "Come on, I want to hear what the emergency military situation is."

"I just saw Yan Yingyuan, the Dianshi of Jiangyin."

"Jiangyin Dianshi?"

Seeing that the captain couldn't react for a while, the steward couldn't help but said anxiously, "Your army hasn't captured Jiangyin yet, has it? This Yan Yingyuan once frightened away the sea pirates with three arrows. He is a brave man of skill and commanded the Jiangyin soldiers. He must be here to spy on the military situation." of!"

The captain's expression changed after hearing this, and he immediately returned with a group of people. He bumped into Yan Yingyuan and the others, who were pretending to be nonchalant and walking slowly with their heads down, as well as a group of Yijun soldiers who "sent off" them.

The captain pointed his musket directly at Yan Yingyuan and shouted: "This man is Jiangyin Dianshi, take him down!"

When Yan Yingyuan saw the captain leading people to intercept him, he realized something was wrong and wanted to take action.

As a result, the ten Yi army musketeers behind him immediately raised their muskets, immediately making him afraid to move.

No matter how skilled he was, he couldn't possibly handle a dozen or twenty muskets.

So he pretended to be confused and said: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. If I am Jiangyin Dianshi, how dare I come here?"

The captain was unmoved and shouted: "Don't be nagging, I will find out your identity soon. If you are not a Ming army spy, I will let you go!"

After saying this, they forced Yan Yingyuan and the others to throw away their bows, arrows and waist knives. A dozen sword players swarmed up and tied up the four of them.

Then Yan Yingyuan was escorted back. When he passed the door of Su's house, Su Mingyuan was speechless when he saw it.

What was he talking about?

People really can't be too confident.

Second update.
