Five days after Sun Chengzong left Tongzhou, a team of Jinyiwei Cavalry came to Tongzhou.

When Qianhu, the deputy of the Jinyiwei, saw Fang Daren who was staying in Tongzhou, he said that he had come to Tongzhou to collect the enemy's serious offenders and was ready to take them to the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison in the capital for trial.

The grain shop owner, the clerk, and a group of Later Jin spies caught in the city were all brought to prison and escorted to the capital by the Jinyiwei.

The shopkeeper was standing in a prison car. Not only was he not afraid of being taken to the capital, but he was relieved: As long as he could arrive in the capital, the people in the court would definitely find a way to rescue him, after all, they had a handle in my hands!

The Jinyiwei carried the prison carriage and walked along the riverside avenue.

At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded from the woods by the river, and more than a dozen knights rushed out of the woods.

"Form a formation!" Qianhu, deputy to the Jinyiwei, shouted in anxiety.

Dozens of lieutenant wearing pointed-topped eight-petal iron helmets and black flying fish suits formed a circle. In the middle was the Jinyiwei small flag wearing a wingless black gauze hat and a blue and red flying fish suit. There were Jinyiwei Tiqi wearing wingless black gauze hats and a red flying fish suit on both sides.

Before the dozen knights arrived, several feathered arrows had already been shot. Five Jinyiwei, who could not dodge, were caught in the arrow and fell down screaming.

The crossbow in the Jinyiwei's hand shot a sudden shot, and three knights fell down by arrows.

Several Jinyiwei Baihu and more than a dozen Jinyiwei cavalry riding horses rushed out immediately, pulled out the Xiuchun sword and killed the knights rushing towards him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the knight turned around and ran away.

The Jinyiwei immediately rode his horse to chase after him, followed him and chased him reluctantly. In a blink of an eye, he had already chased him out of more than a mile.

A knight who fell to the ground was injured and not dead. Just as a group of Jinyiwei surrounded him, the knight drew out his knife, turned the blade, and wiped it down on his neck. A blood arrow sprayed, spraying the closest Jinyiwei covered in blood.

At this moment, a horse suddenly rushed out of the woods and rode his horse towards the Jinyiwei Captain.

"Quick! Stop him!" shouted Qianhu, deputy chief of Jinyiwei.

At this time, the Jinyiwei had just rushed out and wanted to catch the fallen knight, but he didn't have time to run back to the prison car. More than a dozen lieutenants rushed up their spears and formed a formation, trying to stop the cavalry. Who knew that the knight rushed to about fifty steps away from a prison car, and he opened his bow and arrow, and a feather arrow shot into a prison car, and only a scream was heard. The knight immediately turned his horse's head and pulled out his horse and left.

The Jinyiwei surrounded the prison car that had just been shot and found a sharp arrow shot into the shopkeeper's left temple, and the sharp arrowhead came out from the right temple, and the dripping blood was all black.

It was obvious that the shopkeeper was too dead to die anymore. The arrow shot through the entire head, and the arrow was still poisonous with blood-threatening throat. Even the gods could not save him.

The Jinyiwei, who was chasing more than a dozen knights, failed to catch up with his opponent. The attackers were all one and two horses, and they rode the best Hequ horses, and they ran without a trace in a blink of an eye.

The Jinyiwei during the Chongzhen period was no longer as powerful as the Wanli period and the Jinyiwei during the Tianqi period. Although there were still masters among the lieutenant and the Tiqi cavalry, their strategies and layout were far inferior to those of the previous Jinyiwei. As a result, they were trapped in the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, resulting in the most important witness being destroyed.

The most important shopkeeper was shot to death by an arrow, and the remaining Later Jin Xizu were sent to the capital, and no important clues were found. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen had to order all Later Jin Xizu to be executed.

Although there was a small flaw in the Jinyiwei, it did not affect the good mood of Emperor Chongzhen. Sun Chengzong went to Beijing to offer prisoners, offering thirteen real slaves, one hundred and seven Mongolian Tartars captured, more than three hundred fake Han Tartars, and more than two thousand Jiannu's heads captured.

"Jiannu retreated, and Supervisor Sun won a lot of money. Good news! Good news!" In recent days, Emperor Chongzhen has been smiling and in a happy mood.

During this period, it can be said that there were three joys. The first joy was that Sun Chengzong was refusing the emperor's kindness, defeating Jiannu, and winning a lot of money. He also ordered Cao Wenzhao to raid Gu'an and rescue many captured people. The second joy was that the eldest prince Zhu Cilang was one year old, and Emperor Chongzhen planned to be the crown prince. The third joy was that Empress Zhou was pregnant again. This time, it didn't matter whether Chongzhen gave birth to a boy or a girl. He also hoped that Empress Zhou could give birth to a princess for himself.

The capital was full of firecrackers and thunders, and the gentry and people had celebrated for several days.

All officials had auspicious clothes. After the Xuanjie, the officials of the Honglu Temple delivered speeches, each of them performed five bows and three bows. Then the Hanlin Academy wrote an article, and the Taichang Temple handled the sacrifices, and then sent officials to recommend the suburbs to the temples and celebrated the ceremony.

Emperor Chongzhen sat upright on the dragon chaise under the eaves of the Fengtian Hall, and his ministers stood on both sides of the square under the steps.

Sun Chengzong took advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's joy to step out of the ranks of officials and reported: "Your Majesty! The great victory in Tongzhou, Gu'an attacked Jiannu. Two great victory, the most meritorious person was Li Laoer, a man from the frontier. This man was under the command of Weichen for more than three months. He was resourceful and transformed artillery for the Ming Dynasty and cast new artillery for the Ming Dynasty! Whether it was improved artillery or cast new artillery, they were extremely powerful! Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, he should appoint this person as a general and follow Weichen to Shanhaiguan to resist Jiannu."

Emperor Chongzhen was about to nod his head and agree, but who knew that Wei Yunzhong, the governor of Xuanda who came to Beijing to serve the king this time, stood up: "Your Majesty! Don't let this person go back to the pass! This person has been outside the border for many years and has no king or father in his heart! Moreover, this person has close contact with the Mongolian Tatars, and has colluded with the Mongolian Tatars to attack our Han caravan outside the west entrance and killed three thousand Han people! This person is extremely guilty and now he is just making meritorious contributions. Never let him enter the pass!"

Zhang Zongheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War who was secretly close to Wei Yunzhong, also stood up: "Your Majesty think twice. If you give rewards to someone with great crimes, if you continue to do so, our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers will follow suit, collude with the Mongolian Tatars and plunder the caravans, and will suffer endless troubles!"

Cheng Qinan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, also stood up and firmly expressed his opposition to let Li Laoer reply: "Your Majesty, you must not let this person come back! This person's cavalry is well-equipped, all for killing innocent people indiscriminately and plundering innocent people's income! What's the difference between this approach and Jiannu? If a precedent is set, our Ming officers and soldiers will follow our example, and all the world will be in trouble from now on!"

In fact, Wei Yunzhong and Cheng Qinan both had close relationships with Shanxi merchants. These two were dismissed by Wei Zhongxian during the Tianqi period. After Emperor Chongzhen came up, they reused the two.

Zhang Zongheng also secretly gained the benefits of Shanxi merchants, so he naturally also spoke for Shanxi merchants.

Three people took the lead in opposing the court officials, and the officials among the ministers who had benefited from Shanxi merchants all stopped Sun Chengzong from asking Li Laoer to reply to Ming's report.

Emperor Chongzhen's original good mood suddenly became very bad. He had received a secret report from Sun Chengzong that the Shanxi merchants were in contact with the enemy, but they were suffering from the lack of evidence. So he turned to ask Luo Yangxing: "Luo Aiqing, have you tried all the detailed work of the arrest of Jiannu in Tongzhou?"

Luo Yangxing quickly stood up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "I deserve to die! The Jinyiwei escorted the criminal, and the first criminal was silenced!"

Sun Chengzong also knew that the chief criminal was killed, so he could only sigh in his heart: Nephew, I have helped everyone, but Luo Yang is really incompetent, and he can actually make the criminal intercepted and killed in broad daylight!

So Li Laoer replied to Ming and left nothing.
