"George, sir, it's not good. Yang Mingjing, Liang Chaozhong and Liang Feng ran away!" The pseudo-chao Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, who had not caught the person, hurriedly reported to Gu Yuanjing and Ren Zixin.

An officer from the Jinyiwei Xiaoqian named Fan Xin said, "If the monk runs away, he can't run away from the temple. Isn't the three thieves' home still here?"

"Fan Baihu is right. If the monk runs away, he can't run away from the temple. He raids their homes and takes all his family away! Humph! The crime of deceiving the king, liaring military information, and punishing multiple crimes of corruption and bribery. It is also the clan that will destroy the nine clans! All their family members are controlled." Gu Yuanjing snorted.

Ren Zixin nodded: "Yes, let's do as Mr. Gu wants!"

"Here!" The pseudo-Embroidered Guard officer retreated.

"Sir, wise!" Fan Xin bowed his hand and said in a compliment.

Ren Zixin said with a worried look: "Fan Baihu, Ma Dusi has gone to the Fujing and has not yet come back. This thousand households are not familiar with the list of Jinyiwei, so it depends on you here."

Because Ren Zixin was only a thousand households who managed the palace Jinyiwei, he was not familiar with the entire Jinyiwei system of the Yongli Dynasty, and it was normal for him to be unfamiliar with the Jinyiwei spies like Fan Xin. Ma Jixiang was not there, and Ren Zixin could only tell whether he was his own person based on his waist card. However, Ren Zixin did not know that Fan Xin was actually a person who was a member of the imperial court's Jinyiwei, rather than the person who was the pseudo-choir of their pseudo-choir. It was because Ma Jixiang was captured, so Ren Zixin's eyes were dark, and the imperial court's Jinyiwei formed a single transparent approach to the pseudo-choir of the Jinyiwei.

In fact, everything that happened today was Li Guodong's layout behind the scenes, taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the pseudo-Yongli Dynasty to cleverly implement the plan of disagreement, which made the monarch and ministers of the Yongli Dynasty, who were originally incompatible with each other, separate from their hearts and virtues.

Just when Ren Zixin and Fan Xin took the Jinyiwei to start raiding the Zhong family of Liang Chao, Su Guansheng came with a group of soldiers.

"Everyone, what did Liang Jijiu (the Imperial College) do? Why do you want to make a big fight to arrest him?" Su Guansheng stopped Ren Zixin and his group of people.

Ren Zixin sneered: "Liang Chaozhong colluded with Liang Yuan and Yang Mingjing and two thieves, deceived the emperor and committed crimes, embezzled and accepted bribes, bought and sold officials, and lied about military information. Are these crimes not crimes?"

Su Guansheng said with a righteous spirit: "If the Jinyiwei wants to arrest people, he needs imperial edicts and appendixes. If you don't have anything, you will frame the loyal and kind court without authorization. If you act like this, what is the difference between your Jinyiwei and the Chongzhen foolish monarch in the north? You are the eagles who catch grandsons and eagles, and make way out quickly. Who dares to stop me?"

"Take this nagging dog official for me!" Fan Xin yelled.

After all, Su Guansheng is the second assistant to the cabinet and the old master. All the Jinyiwei are looking at each other, who dares to take action? Fan Xin shouted again: "Brothers, the era of literary and nobles and martial arts is now over! In the troubled times, the knife is in the hands of anyone, whoever speaks will be useful! Take it down and let this dog official stop us, and you have not sent him to the imperial prison!"

A group of Jinyiwei, who was like a wolf and a tiger, came up, held Su Guansheng down, tied him up, and then more than 200 Jinyiwei rushed into Liang's mansion and began to copy Liang Chaozhong's home.

Liang Chaozhong was also considered an old minister. He was once Xibin of Xiong Wencan. After Xiong Wencan was imprisoned, Liang Chaozhong failed to rescue him from many parties. After the bandit army invaded the capital, Liang Chaozhong defected to Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying. But he knew that these two had no talent, so he ran back to his hometown in Guangdong. Not long after, Chongzhen actually arrived in Nanjing, the Hongguang pseudo-dynasty was destroyed, and Nanjing fell into the hands of the orthodox Ming Dynasty.

According to a smart man like Liang Chaozhong, he should have decisively gone to Nanjing to join the orthodox, but because Chongzhen valued the eunuch party and harmed the loyal and good gentry, Liang Chaozhong did not go to Nanjing. Then the pseudo-Yongli Emperor ascended the throne, and Liang Chaozhong surrendered to the pseudo-Yongli Dynasty.

But who knew that the orthodox Ming Dynasty's Huai army was unstoppable, and the Guangdong army could not resist it at all. The navy was defeated, and the Huai army and the Fujian army coalition arrived directly under the city of Guangzhou. Liang Chaozhong had already thought of opening the city gate and surrendering to the Huai army. This time the Jinyiwei came to capture him, so he simply summoned people to prepare to offer the city.

"Master, Master, the big thing is wrong. Our home was confiscated by the Jinyiwei. The old lady, young master, young lady, lady and son-in-law were all arrested by the Jinyiwei." Someone entered the secret hidden place of Liang Chaozhong and others and reported the matter to him.

"It seems that we have to take action. If we don't take action, we may be killed by the Jinyiwei!" Liang Chaozhong said hatefully.

Yang Mingjing asked, "Liang Jijiu, but Chongzhen's tyrant monarch was tyrannical and bloodthirsty. If we go to vote for him, I'm afraid there will be no good ending."

"If we don't vote for the orthodox court, our family will die now. If we vote for the court, even if we liquidate, we can finally leave a way out for our family. Even if we are exiled to Qiongzhou, it will be better than those who have been killed by the whole family." Liang Chaozhong said.

Yang Mingjing and Liang Yan both agreed with Liang Chaozhong's statement that even if they die, as long as their family can survive. Even if their family is sent to Qiongzhou to work as a coolie, it is worse than being executed by a whole family? It is better to live without death. From this point of view, Chongzhen, a foolish monarch, is better than many emperors.

During the Chongzhen period, countless officials were killed, but none of them were killed by the whole family. Even Yuan Chonghuan, who was executed by Lingchi, or Hong Chengchou, who surrendered to the treason, were killed by the whole family.

"Yes, it's better to surrender to the orthodox rather than being killed by the whole family." Liang Yuan said.

Yang Mingjing thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Money is something outside the body. Even if the house is confiscated by the foolish lord, as long as the family members can survive."

After Liang Chaozhong and others made a plan, Yang Mingjing, who had soldiers, sent someone to deliver letters outside the city.

"Reported that an envoy from the city came and said he was willing to negotiate with us." A personal soldier walked into Li Guodong's central army tent.

"Let him come in." Li Guodong nodded.

The man was taken into the central army tent, and a personal soldier handed over a secret letter found from him and submitted it.

Li Guodong took the letter and carefully checked the letter. He saw that the fire paint on the cover outside was not at all lost. When he opened the letter, he saw that the content of the letter was that it was willing to give Guangzhou City to surrender to the king's army. The subsequent signature was Liang Chaozhong. So he immediately shouted and left.

"You Liang Jijiu are really willing to open the city to surrender to the king's army? Didn't you cheat?" Li Guodong asked in the man's eyes.

"How dare we cheat in front of the Duke? Gu Yuanjing wanted to harm our head of the family. The family's family had been arrested by the Jinyiwei and was imprisoned by the Jinyiwei. If we did not open the city to welcome the king's army, we would probably die in our family's family and the two Lord Liang's family." The man hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

Li Guodong actually knew that Gu Yuanjing and Ren Zixin had taken the Jinyiwei and confiscated the homes of Yang Mingjing, Liang Chaozhong and Liang Feng, and their families were all taken to the imperial prison. But he was still very cautious, afraid of being hit by the enemy's bitter tricks and death tricks. From Li Guodong's uprising to the present, he has been invincible in the battle, which is also related to his cautious tactics. Li Guodong never takes risks in war, and when his troops are strong, he will steadily and crush them with strength; when his troops are inferior to those of his opponent, he will make arrangements in advance, use the terrain to restrain the enemy, and then use a clever surprise attack to win.

Therefore, despite using the discord plan in advance, Li Guodong was still very cautious, fearing that his discord plan would meet the opponent's counter-opposition plan. After all, he could still conquer Guangzhou City with his strength. However, considering that He Tengjiao's army was about to come down, if he could not break Guangzhou quickly, the subsequent pressure would suddenly increase and he would make greater sacrifices.

However, considering that this matter was basically impossible to be wrong, Li Guodong had a secret talk with the envoy and formulated a plan to enter Guangzhou from the east gate.
