The door opened, and Zhang Shuheng immediately rushed into the courtyard with a group of Jinyiwei. "What are you doing? What crimes have we committed? How can you officers and soldiers arrest people?" An old butler who looked almost seventy years old walked out staggeringly and grabbed Zhang Shuheng.

Zhang Shuheng showed off his jade waist card: "The Jinyiwei handles the case! Please get out of here!"

When the old man saw the waist sign with the three big words "Jinyiwei" written on it, he not only did not let go of his hand, but instead shouted: "The Eagle Claw Sun is here! The Eagle Claw Sun is catching people randomly!"

Zhang Shuheng stepped out his legs and wanted to forcefully break in, but the old man hugged Zhang Shuheng's legs tightly, letting the two Jinyiweisers drag him down, and refused to let go. At this moment, it might be because the two Jinyiweisers used too much force. The old man suddenly fell back and hit the back of his head heavily on the hard stone floor, and immediately became unconscious.

A Jinyiwei bent down, stretched out his finger and looked up the old man's man, saying, "I'm not breathing anymore."

"Murdered! Eagle Clawed Sun killed someone!" The slaves in the mansion screamed and fled in scattered.

Someone wanted to escape from the house, but was stopped by the Jinyiwei: "The Jinyiwei handles the case, no one is allowed to go out!"

Zhang Shuheng shouted: "The Jinyiwei came to capture the offender's rebellion with orders. Everyone is not allowed to leave the palace! Everyone is gathered in the middle of the courtyard! Squat on the ground, holding their heads with both hands!"

All the slaves and maids dared not resist. They followed the orders of the Jinyiwei, gathered in the middle of the courtyard, walked to the location designated by the Jinyiwei, and knelt on the ground honestly, holding their heads with both hands.

However, none of the male and female masters in the family came out, so Zhang Shuheng ordered to go in and arrest people.

"No!" More than 30 Jinyiwei rushed into the inner courtyard immediately.

Not long after, I saw the Jinyiwei who had just rushed in, escorting about 70 men, women, young and old, walking out of the inner courtyard.

"Is this head of the family Ye Jingzhou?" Zhang Shuheng asked at the old man about 60 years old who was escorted out.

The old man quickly replied, "It's me, why did your Jinyiwei break into the Ye Mansion and kill people indiscriminately?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Shuheng laughed and said, "Ye Jingzhou, you have committed the crime of accusing a traitor. This is a crime of killing the nine clans! We naturally want to investigate your Ye Mansion!"

"I have never been a gangster!" Ye Jingzhou defended in a loud voice, "I haven't even seen what the rebels look like. Why do you catch people randomly?"

"Why? I am the emperor's personal army! Do you have any rioters? As long as you cooperate to accept our investigation, if you do not, we will naturally give you a cleansing; if you have rioters, we will not be polite to you!" Zhang Shuheng shouted.

Dozens of Jinyiwei searched through boxes and cabinets in Ye Mansion and found more than 50,000 taels of silver, more than 6,000 taels of gold, a large box of jewelry, as well as property such as land deeds, store deeds, IOUs, and body deeds.

"It's only more than 50,000 taels of silver, plus gold and jewelry, it's only more than 100,000 taels, not much." A Jinyiwei shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

Zhang Shuheng smiled and said, "This Ye family is just a small local genius, and there will be more than 100,000 taels of silver. If all the local geniuses and gentry in the entire county of Longchuan are copied and investigated, do you think, how much money can we find?"

"Yes, Du Si Yingming, it's a lot of things." The Jinyiwei agreed with a smile.

Zhang Shuheng raised his hand: "Take all the people in the Ye Mansion to the county jail to be imprisoned, waiting for trial in the East Factory! The Ye family members have committed the crime of accusation of rebellion, and the head of the family should be killed, and the rest of the males will be exiled! Female family members are included in the military camp! If the servants and maids in the mansion do not commit crimes, they can be free and will no longer be slaves!"

The Jinyiwei took Ye Jingzhou and his family out of Ye's mansion. Just as he was about to escort him to Longchuan, the road at the entrance of the village was blocked by countless people.

"Let Mr. Ye go!"

"Mr. Ye is highly respected. What are the reasons why you hawks in the court have to catch people randomly?"

"The Eagle Claw Sun wants to take Mr. Ye away unless he steps on our body!"

"Friends, fight with these eagle claw grandsons!"

The chaotic roars came one after another, blocking the excited roars of the people at the entrance of the village.

But Zhang Shuheng's eyes, which seemed to have perspective eyes, had already seen the truth clearly from the chaotic crowd: Where are there so many villagers in Shangmakeng? Many ordinary people are probably organized by local gentry to block the Jinyiwei.

The imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the countryside, the people heard the news from the court when they received news from the gentry. The gentry firmly controlled the propaganda power. The people listened to whatever they said. It was impossible for the people to hear the news that the gentry did not want to hear.

Ye Jingzhou was captured by the Jinyiwei, and the local wise men of other villages were sad because they knew that if they did not stop this, the Jinyiwei would aim the devil's claws at them in the next step. Therefore, no matter whether they had anything to do with Ye Jingzhou, the Jinyiwei could not let the Jinyiwei take Ye Jingzhou away today.

Li Guodong also discovered that the most fierce call among the crowd were all guys dressed up like scholars, and ordinary people just followed them to agree.

"You go and talk to Zhang Dusi and catch the scholars in the crowd first!" Li Guodong called Zhang Shiwen and whispered a few words in his ear.

More than 2,000 Huai troops were desperately maintaining order, and there were crowds of people outside, blocking the way for Jinyiwei. Then the crowds that were surrounded outside pushed forward. At the front were the young and strong people who did not know the truth, crowded on the outside of the defense line, and those scholars who were truly bewitching trouble were hiding in the middle of the crowd. Li Guodong looked around and saw that there was no end to the crowd.

"Capture the king first," Zhang Shiwen whispered to Zhang Shuheng.

Zhang Shuheng pointed to the crowded crowd: "The king is in the middle. If our people don't fight a path of blood, they can't get through at all. How can we capture them?"

"Zhang Dusi, have you forgotten what your lord taught you?" Zhang Shiwen lowered his voice.

"Okay, I'll try it, treat dead horses as living horses. If they still don't work, then I can only trouble your army to kill people." Zhang Shuheng nodded slightly. After saying that, he walked out.

"Friends!" Zhang Shuheng yelled loudly, "I have the imperial edict here! I am here to capture the criminals on behalf of the Emperor Ming!"

As he said that, Zhang Shuheng took out the imperial edict and held it in his hand and opened it: "Substantially inherited the will of heaven, and the emperor ordered..."

But when those unruly people saw the imperial edict, they not only did not kneel down, but instead became more excited.

"Friends, don't listen to this traitor's nonsense! Chongzhen's tyrant monarch is not worthy of being the Emperor of Ming! The Emperor of Ming is the Emperor Yongli in Guangzhou City!" Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"Yes, we don't recognize the foolish emperor!"

"The tyrant monarch colluded with eunuchs and treacherous slander and framed loyal and kind-hearted. We cannot let the Eagle Claw Sun succeed!"

"The villagers are all quiet!" The Jinyiwei and the Huai Army shouted together. At the same time, the swords and guns in the hands of the Jinyiwei pointed at the chaotic crowd.

After all, the Jinyiwei still has a deterrent effect on these ordinary people, and the chaotic crowd has temporarily quieted down.
