Because Li Zhen reacted in time, he rushed to Jiangyang County one step earlier than Duwei Zhuang Wenzhong. He led hundreds of soldiers to kill outside the north gate of the county town at dawn. At this time, the city gate was wide open. Li Zhen unexpectedly found that many people were running out of the city in panic and fleeing. Jiuzhi stepped forward and grabbed a man and dragged him in front of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen immediately lowered his head and asked, "What happened in the city?"

The man was so scared that he trembled all over and said stutteringly: "The defeated soldiers... fled back to the county town and were in the city. Robbery."

Li Zhen was furious. This must be Li Yuanjia's army that fled back. He turned around and ordered: "Walk with me to enter the city. If you encounter a defeated soldier who is robbed, you will be killed without any consequences."

He drew out his long sword and led hundreds of people into the county town. The city of Jiangyang was in chaos. Many people dragged their children to run on the road. The children were so scared that they cried. From time to time, they screamed in fear.

Nearly 100 defeated soldiers fled back to Jiangyang County and took the opportunity to rob stores and warehouses in Jiangyang County. Some wealthy families also smashed the door and the defeated soldiers rushed in.

Li Zhen led his army into the county town, and he happened to meet a dozen defeated soldiers preparing to leave the city. They were blushing and had a rich harvest. They carried large and small bags, and some were carrying crying girls.

Di Yan was so angry that she screamed and urged the horse to rush forward. She jumped on the horse, rolled in the air, and jumped into the enemy group. She drew her sword like lightning and stabbed a defeated soldier carrying a girl to death with one sword.

She pulled the girl up from the ground and pushed her away from the street, "Go home quickly."

The girl staggered and ran away before she could thank her. Li Zhen's soldiers rushed up one after another, and stabbed the spear. More than a dozen defeated soldiers were frightened and fled in fear.

Li Zhen took down the bow and arrow, pulled the bow like the moon, and shot it like a pearl. Each arrow shot overturned one person. In just a moment, seven or eight deserters were shot down by him and stabbed to death by the soldiers who rushed up without mercy.

"Commander Li, that's the Guangling Palace." At this time, a soldier pointed to a magnificent mansion in the distance and shouted.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said to Di Yan: "Take a hundred soldiers to clear out the defeated soldiers, and come to the palace to meet me later."

Di Yan nodded and turned around and shouted: "First team and second team come with me."

She led a hundred soldiers to the main street of the county town, where wealthy families were concentrated, and it was a key area for defeated soldiers to rob.

Li Zhen said to the other two hundred soldiers: "Follow me to the royal palace"

Everyone accelerated and rushed straight to the Guangling Prince's Mansion. Guangling Prince's Mansion was located in Jiangyang County. It was a huge house covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres. At this time, the gate of the royal palace was closed, and Li Yuanjia's nephew Fang Cheng led dozens of servants to guard the gate with swords and swords.

Fang Cheng is the nephew of Li Yuanjia's wife Fang, and the grandson of Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty. The son of Fang Yiai. He was exiled to Lingnan because of his father's rebellion. He was pardoned last year and returned from pardon last year. He participated in the imperial examination at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately failed the exam.

He loved calligraphy and painting. He came to his uncle Li Yuanjia's mansion a few months ago to learn calligraphy and painting, but unexpectedly encountered this military disaster

Fang Cheng was really nervous at this time. He had already heard that Li Yuanjia was interested in rebellion, but he was obsessed with calligraphy and painting and did not take these rumors to heart. Unexpectedly, the rumors turned into reality. He was extremely worried about whether he would be involved in this rebellion.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and smashed the gate of the royal palace, "Open the door quickly"

A small window was opened on the main door, and the servant inside the door asked tremblingly: "Who is it?"

"I am the eldest son's Ma Tong Yang Si. Don't you know me anymore?"

Everyone recognized him, opened the door, dragged him in and asked, "Yang Si, what's wrong?"

Ma Tong cried: "The eldest son was ambushed on the road and unfortunately died, and the army was also broken up."

Everyone looked at each other and understood a little. I was afraid that the army that entered the city to rob was the defeated army of the eldest son, not the enemy. At this time, Fang Cheng asked anxiously again: "How is the situation of the prince?"

"The prince and Mr. Chen are in Jiangdu, and the situation is currently unknown."

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the gate, shaking violently. Dozens of people inside the gate were so scared that they were so heartbroken that they retreated one after another. Fang Cheng was scared and shouted, "Who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud noise from the door. The door latch broke and the door was knocked open. Dozens of people rushed in with a huge beam and a huge tree. Behind were there were dense soldiers. Then countless soldiers appeared on the wall, holding crossbow arrows in their hands aimed at them.

At this time, Li Zhen strode in and shouted loudly: "Put down all the weapons, otherwise you will kill them."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Cheng and his servants put down their swords and swords. Li Zhen pointed at the servants and said to a team: "Take them all down and lock them up, don't kill them for the time being."

Fang Cheng felt that Li Zhen was not like a defeated soldier who was robbed, so he mustered up the courage to step forward, "Who are you?"

Li Zhen showed the gold medal of the inner guard, "I am the commander of the inner guard. According to the emperor's will, I will search the Guangling Palace. Those who dare to resist will be rectified on the spot."

Fang Cheng was so scared that he couldn't say a word. At this time, Jiu Zhi stepped forward and smiled and said, "Let me take my brothers to search."

Li Zhen nodded, "Don't disturb the family, search carefully."

Jiu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

He led a large group of soldiers to rush towards the back house. At this time, Li Zhen walked up and pointed his sword at Fang Cheng and asked, "Who are you from Li Yuanjia?"

Fang Cheng hurriedly explained: "I am not Li Yuanjia's son and nephew, I am a member of the Fang family in Qizhou, and Mrs. Fang's nephew, and I am studying calligraphy and painting here."

After pausing, he whispered again: "The villain knows what Commander Li is looking for. The villain is willing to take the commander to Li Yuanjia's secret room, and only asks Commander Li to let the villain go."

"Do you know me?"

Li Zhen did not report his name, but Fang Cheng knew that his surname was Li, which made him quite surprised. Fang Cheng nodded slightly, "The villain participated in this year's imperial examination and met Commander Li in the capital. The villain is the grandson of Fang Prime Minister of the founding country."

When Li Zhen heard that he knew him and was the grandson of Fang Xuanling, he nodded, "If you can make a contribution, it has nothing to do with Li Yuanjia's rebellion, so I can consider letting you go."

Fang Cheng was exiled to Lingnan for his father's rebellion when he was young. He grew up in Lingnan and was pardoned last year. He did not want to be involved in Li Yuanjia's rebellion again.

Fang Cheng is an extremely smart person. Knowing what Li Zhen wants to find in Li Yuanjia’s mansion, he hurriedly said: “Please come with me by the commander.”

Li Zhen followed Fang Cheng to Mingzhu Tower with a few subordinates. At this time, Jiu Zhi was leading the soldiers to search through boxes and cabinets. All the maids in the family were driven to a yard. Jiu Zhi had discovered the entrance of the underground vault and was knocking on the stone door at the entrance with dozens of soldiers.

Li Zhen followed Fang Cheng into Mingzhu Tower. Fang Cheng introduced: "Mingzhu Tower is Li Yuanjia's living and painting place, and his inner study is also here, but I know that he has a secret room here, and all the important items are in the secret room."

When Li Zhen heard that there was a secret room, he was immediately excited and asked, "Where is the secret room?"

"Please follow me"

Fang Cheng took Li Zhen into Li Yuanjia's inner room, which was Li Yuanjia's inner study. The wall was full of Li Yuanjia's paintings. Fang Cheng took off a painting on the wall, and there was a snow-white wall behind it. But if you look closely, you can still see traces of the door. Fang Cheng pulled the mechanism under the desk, and a small door appeared on the wall.

Li Zhen was overjoyed and turned to his opponent and said, "You are waiting outside."

He drew his sword and walked into the secret room. Fang Cheng lit the lights, and the room was brightly lit. Although there were no windows in the room, it was very ventilation. There were wooden racks placed beside the surrounding walls. To be precise, the secret room should be called the Tibetan studio. The shelves are filled with famous paintings and calligraphy that Li Yuanjia has collected for decades.

At this time, Fang Cheng pointed to a big box in the corner of the wall and said, "Li Yuanjia is not allowed to approach that box, even his son is not good. I guess what Commander Li is looking for is in the box."

"I understand, you go back."

Fang Cheng tactfully retreated, and Li Zhen slowly approached the box. This sandalwood square box was five feet long and wide, with a golden lock hanging on it. Li Zhen pulled out the dagger and cut off the golden lock.

He then took a step back and slowly picked up the wooden box with his sword. He saw that the jewels in the box were not hidden jewelry, but the dragon robe inlaid with gems, shining brightly under the light.

Li Zhen carefully took out the items inside one by one. Not only did there be a dragon robe, but also an imperial seal and an imperial edict to amnesty the world. Li Yuanjia even thought of the year name. Li Zhen shook his head. These are all ironclad evidence of Li Yuanjia's rebellion and proclaiming emperor.

At this time, Li Zhen found a flat jade box. He opened the jade box. It contained a list with the letter "The Affidavit of the Xingtang Association, six words. The front was the purpose of the Xingtang Association, overthrowing the Wu family and restoring Li Tang. Below was a dense list.

This is different from the list obtained by Lai Junchen torture. This is the handwritten signature of each member of the Xingtang Association, and there are also fingerprints. Li Zhen saw the signatures of Li Xian and Li Dan, their fingerprints, and the signatures and fingerprints of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue.

Li Zhen took a deep breath. This was the real evidence of the Xingtang Association. He put the list in his arms and found a thick letter, all of which were correspondence between the Li clan clan and some ministers and Li Yuanjia.

Li Zhen found the letters from Lin Qing and Zhao Wenchu. He put the rest of the letters into his arms, then put the dragon robe and other items back, found a lock to lock the wooden box, carried the box out of the secret room, and handed it to the soldier and said, "This box is very important, carry it out and look at it."

At this time, Jiuzhi rushed in, his face flushed, and his voice trembled with excitement, "Old Li, come and see you."

"What did you find, it made you so excited?"

"Come on, we're going to make a fortune."

Li Zhen casually gave him a scalp and cursed: "I pretended not to see the golden armor you caught, so don't even think about the rest of the money."

Li Zhen quickly came to the back house. At this time, Di Yan also brought his soldiers back. The defeated soldiers in the city had basically wiped out Yu Jing. The soldiers were carrying out large boxes from the underground vault, and the big boxes in the yard were piled up like mountains.

Di Yan opened several large iron boxes, which were full of yellow gold ingots. Even though Di Yan was knowledgeable, she couldn't help but take a breath. When she saw Li Zhen coming, she stepped forward and said, "It's unimaginable that Li Yuanjia had actually saved such a huge wealth. Look at the dozens of boxes here, all of which were full of gold."

"Yangzhou is originally a place where wealth gathers, so it is not surprising that he has conquered so much wealth."

At this time, Jiuzhi couldn't help but remind Li Zhen: "This time, the brothers of the state army have made contributions, so we can't be stingy. We must always reward them. What I mean is to give some of the money to everyone."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Of course I know, but according to the rules, I will distribute some of the money to the Prefect Lin, and I will also express my own brothers."

Speaking of this, Li Zhen patted Jiuzhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have made great contributions this time. I said that you will be promoted and made a fortune. Don't worry, I will definitely not forget the benefits you will give."
