Chapter 195: Taking people

Kaifeng, Imperial Law Department Yamen.

Sun Xiucai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Have you caught his whereabouts?"

"Catch one, sir." In the hall, a young man in smart clothes clasped his fists and said: "The hiding place of the thieves changes every day, but although Kaifeng is big, it is not big. After careful investigation, one of the thieves has been identified. 's hiding place."

Sun Xiucai nodded slightly: "Does that mean it's just one person?"

The young man bowed and said: "Only one person. The thieves were very cautious and hid separately and did not gather in one place."

Sun Xiucai understood and couldn't help but smile: "You are indeed cautious. But..."

His thoughts were turning, and his powerful spirit thought quickly, and he quickly got an answer: "If they are in one place, just catch them all in one go. If they are not in one place, there may not be any difference. Go and find the king's future, and tell him that I have something to do with him."

Although Wang Yisheng temporarily acted as the sexton of the Law Enforcement Department, his duties were still as Ying Yi's personal bodyguards. He is resident in Ying Yi's mansion that was renovated by the governor's office, and rarely interferes in the affairs of the Law Enforcement Department.

The young man bowed and said, "Yes."

Sun Xiucai dismissed the young man and continued to deal with official duties. After about a moment, Wang Yisheng arrived.

"Master Sun."

Wang Yisheng clasped his fists.

Sun Xiucai returned the gift and said, "General, please take a seat."

He said: "My lord hurried south, and the remnants of ghosts and snake gods in Kaifeng City jumped up. There has been quite a movement in the past few days. I think my lord went south with the intention of attracting thieves for easy cleaning. The Inspection Department under the Law Enforcement Department has obtained them. The exact hiding place of this person, just in case, I want the king’s general to lead people to capture this thief immediately.”

When Wang Yisheng heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "This is how it should be."

Sun Xiucai smiled and said: "This trip must be secretive and cannot be announced. I originally thought that if the thieves gathered together, they would catch them all in one fell swoop. Now there is only one person, so I am afraid there are some twists and turns. The thieves have traces of mobilizing people, and I am afraid they have some ideas in Kaifeng. But only The remnants in Kaifeng City definitely don’t have this ability. Catch them secretly and interrogate them to find out what the plans of these thieves are."

Wang Yisheng understood and stood up: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, I can save it."

Leave immediately and go get someone.

...

In the west of Kaifeng City, the Offices of the Household Department and the Agriculture Department under the Prefecture Mu Yamen are located here for population statistics, household registration reset, and land statistics. There is also resettlement of refugees, which is also here.

Earlier, the 300,000 thieves in Zhuxian Town obeyed and killed a group of evil-minded thieves. There were about 200,000 people left, and 100,000 of them had been sent to Nanyang for resettlement. The remaining 100,000 were defeated. After the break-in, they were temporarily placed here, waiting for rationing.

Therefore, dragons and snakes mix in the west of the city, and the environment is extremely complicated.

When Wang Yisheng left the Yamen of the Imperial Law Department, people from the Law Enforcement Department were waiting for him. So he took twenty elite soldiers, disguised himself, and came to the west of the city.

The people from the Law Enforcement Department led Wang Yisheng and others through this complex area and quietly came to a dilapidated house.

"right here?"

Wang Yisheng looked at the closed door of the house and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, this is where it is." The person from the Law Enforcement Department replied.

Wang Yisheng looked at it, made a few gestures, and the twenty elite soldiers immediately divided into three groups, each with five people. Those who blocked the back door blocked the back door, and those who guarded the side wall guarded the side wall. The remaining five people, led by Wang Yisheng, together with the people from the Law Enforcement Department, broke through the door directly.

"We must catch them all in one fell swoop, and no one should be left behind!"

As soon as he entered, Wang Yisheng closed the door with his backhand and walked inside casually. In his ears, there were faint sounds of exclamations and noises.

"who!"

Seven or eight men rushed out of the main room, all carrying knives. When he saw Wang Yisheng, without saying a word, he raised his knife and muffled his voice to kill him.

Wang Yisheng's hand was like lightning, he slapped away the sharp blade, grabbed the leader's neck, and threw him to the ground. His bones cracked, and the man couldn't even groan. His head hit the ground, and his neck was already broken.

"Kill them all!"

Wang Yisheng was furious and shouted in a low voice.

Both sides remained silent and rushed to the critical point. Wang Yisheng brought with him elite soldiers who had experienced the battlefield and received feedback from military achievements. This small-scale battle could only be regarded as a warm-up. After a few breaths, the seven or eight people who rushed out were all killed in front of the house.

Amidst the screams, Wang Yisheng rushed into the house and saw several people fleeing from the back door. Wang Yisheng caught up with him, grabbed one of them and hit him against the wall, causing his head to explode. He only stared at the middle-aged man in brocade robes who was running away in panic in front of him: "Capture this man alive!"

Not long after, the whole courtyard was cleared. Surrounded on all sides, there is no way to escape. The middle-aged man in brocade robe fell directly into Wang Yisheng's hands, and the rest were all killed.

In the courtyard, Wang Yisheng asked someone to bring a chair, and the middle-aged man in a brocade robe knelt down in front of him.

"Say it."

Wang Yisheng said calmly.

The middle-aged man in Jinpao was already frightened, his mind went blank in panic, and when he heard the sound, he trembled all over and almost collapsed.

"How many of you are there, who are you specifically, and what do you want to do? Tell me clearly, and I will give you a happy life. If not, hum..."

The middle-aged man screamed: "Spare your life, spare your life! General, spare my life, I know everything!"

"Spare your life?" Wang Yisheng chuckled, turned to look at the young man from the Law Enforcement Department, and said, "What do you think?"

The young man was filled with murderous intent: "This man has evil intentions and is committing a heinous crime."

Wang Yisheng smiled and said: "You are a good young man in law enforcement. What is your name?"

The young man said: "Miao Xian, the deacon of the inspection department of the subordinate law enforcement department."

"Miao Xian, okay." Wang Yisheng said, "Come and interrogate this person."

With that said, Wang Yisheng stood up and walked out: "I just want results."

"Yes, sir."

The screams sounded loudly, and then they seemed to be gagged and turned into muffled groans. A moment later, Miao Xian came out with blood on his hands.

"My lord, I have already asked." Miao Xian said.

Wang Yisheng said: "Tell me."

"The purpose of the thief is to overthrow Kaifeng. There are six participants. In addition to this person, there are five others. Among the five, there are two wealthy businessmen and three nobles. Four of them are fugitive criminals. The remaining one, I’m afraid I have to ask my lord for instructions before I can deal with it.”

"Oh?" Wang Yisheng said in surprise: "Who needs to ask the lord before he can deal with it?"

"It's the Crown Prince of Zhou," Miao Xian replied.

"Prince Zhou's Crown Prince?!" Wang Yisheng said: "My lord is so generous and has not touched a single hair of his Prince Zhou's palace. He doesn't even think about grace. It's hateful!"

Miao Xian said: "Sir, the King of Zhou may not know about this."

Wang Yisheng was startled, and his anger subsided slightly: "Well... with his maturity, I shouldn't be so ignorant. I'm afraid that old man really doesn't know. I really need to ask my lord for instructions on this matter. That King of Zhou has the face of Zhenren Li Now, it cannot be dealt with easily."

After a pause, he said: "What are the specific details? To subvert Kaifeng, it is not something that a few wealthy businessmen can do. How sure are they?"

Miao Xian said: "The inside should be coordinated with the outside. It is said that I have contacted the Governor of Water Transport Shi Kefa."

"Oh, that's it." Wang Yisheng suddenly realized.

He asked, "How many people are there in the city?"

Miao Xian said: "At least three thousand. According to this person's confession, apart from the Crown Prince of Zhou, the five families still have one to two hundred people, totaling more than a thousand people, most of whom are on the Crown Prince of Zhou. They borrowed the help of the state Mu Yamen took advantage of the work-for-relief program and assigned many people to work, and at least 500 people were hiding among the teams repairing the city. The remaining 2,000 people were scattered in the refugee camps on the west side of the city."
