The night was dim, and Zhu Youjian was trembling and lying on the crack of the door and looked out. Zhu Cheng took off his robe and put it on his body, saying, "A Jian, it's winter now, it's colder at night. You might as well rest early, I'll have everything. It's the same for you to see the evil spirit tomorrow morning, and you can see it more clearly during the day."

Zhu Youjian said: "It's different, it's more atmosphere at night."

It turned out that after Gao Qiqian told Zhu Cheng the location of the evil ghosts, Zhu Cheng marked these locations on the map. Everyone found that the place where the evil ghosts appeared was very close to the Duke Dingguo's manor. With the Duke Dingguo's manor as the center, the area within a radius of ten miles was the severely affected area for the evil ghosts.

Zhu Cheng analyzed that this must be because Duke Dingguo Xu Xigao was unwilling to fail in the court and wanted to scare him away with the means of a fierce ghost. However, Duke Dingguo did not expect that he was a public security policeman from the 21st century. He had always been afraid of heaven and earth. How could he be afraid of ghosts pretending to be humans?

Zhu Cheng discovered that there are two roads to go out of the village at Dingguo Gong Mansion, one at the front door and the other at the back door. Of course, the land of the imperial village belongs to the North China Plain, and the terrain is flat. It is not impossible to walk from the farmland. But now the winter wheat is growing very lush and it is not convenient to walk. Besides, the bandits pretending to be evil ghosts may not know that they are planning to catch ghosts tonight, so they will definitely choose a better road to go out of the village.

Zhu Cheng divided more than 100 Jinyiwei soldiers into two places. Chen Guoqi led some soldiers to guard the Qianmen Avenue and he led another soldier to guard the back gate path. Zhu Youjian heard that he was catching ghosts today and was extremely excited and clamoring to come. Zhu Cheng could not persuade him and had to come together.

On the back door path, there is a small house with a family of five. The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties. He saw a group of soldiers coming to his cottage from afar. He hurriedly pushed his wife, the eldest and the younger girls into the kitchen, asked them to apply their faces with the bottom of the pot, and pushed their son into the pile of firewood, reminding him not to come out no matter what movement he heard. The middle-aged man originally wanted to go out, but he looked at his home. Although it was broken, he also worked hard and kept it. The Ming Dynasty also had laws, although these soldiers sometimes did not speak the law.

Wu Huping walked to the door, knocked politely, and asked, "Is there anyone in the room?"

After a while, a slight trembling voice came from the room: "No one."

The Jinyiwei laughed, this lie was too unreasonable.

Wu Huping said: "I am the deputy family of Jinyiwei. Now I will notify you that we will requisition your house for one night today, so open the door quickly."

The room was silent for a while, and the door opened with a "creak" and showed a honest and honest face.

Wu Huping asked, "Is this uncle a noble surname?"

The middle-aged man replied, "The little one is Zhang. My family is small and broken, and I'm afraid I can't live in so many people. Jun Ye might as well find another place."

Wu Huping entered the house, turned around, squatted down, looked at the bottom of the bed, and found no suspicious items, so he turned around and reported: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, the house is safe and you can come in."

Zhu Cheng was about to enter the house with Zhu Youjian when he suddenly heard Chu Liang shouting: "There are people in the haystack, please be careful sir!"

A group of Jinyiwei guards guarded Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian behind him, and the sound of "cang" was heard endlessly. The Jinyiwei pulled out embroidered swords and surrounded the haystack.

Uncle Zhang shouted: "The soldiers are merciless, and there are children's stones in the haystack."

An eleven or 2 year old crawled out of the haystack with difficulty.

Chu Liang shouted, "You are so unreasonable. You hide in the house and enjoy your happiness. You throw the child in the haystack. Is it your biological child?"

Uncle Zhang did not make a sound and protected his son behind him.

Zhu Cheng knew that Uncle Zhang was probably afraid that the soldiers would kill his son, so he hid his son in the haystack. Zhu Cheng shook his head and entered the house with Zhu Youjian.

Soon, the Jinyiwei who searched for the kitchen took three black-faced people into the room. Zhu Cheng knew that these three should be Uncle Zhang's wife and daughter, so he waved his hand and let the Jinyiwei let go. Once the three women regained their freedom, they immediately ran behind Uncle Zhang like a rabbit caught in an arrow.

Zhu Cheng said: "I am Qianhu, Jinyiwei. I heard that the imperial village in the west of Jingxi is haunted, so I came here to catch ghosts. Except for you who can't go out, you can do whatever you should do, and don't worry about us."

After saying that, he took out 50 copper plates from his arms and handed them over, saying, "We will leave tomorrow morning. This is the rent for tonight. You can collect it."

Uncle Zhang took the copper coins and sat down in the corner of the house with his wife, daughter and son, staring at the group of uninvited guests vigilantly.

Uncle Zhang’s house was not spacious, so the Jinyiwei did not all come in. Some soldiers were hiding in the kitchen, woodshed, or behind the room.

Zhu Youjian didn't care about Uncle Zhang's feelings. He closed the door and lay on the crack in the door from time to time to look out.

Suddenly, Wu Huping, outside the house, whispered to the house: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, the evil ghost seems to have gone out."

Zhu Cheng ordered: "Order the Jinyiwei to sneak forward and quickly control the evil ghosts."

Wu Huping gave a soft order, and more than ten Jinyiwei touched him.

Zhu Cheng was not worried that the Jinyiwei could not hold the bandits pretending to be evil spirits. He sat calmly on the chair, took the hot tea handed over by Jiang Ting, took a sip, and felt that the chill on his body had been driven away a lot.

Zhu Youjian was almost squeezed into the crack in the door, and kept waving his fists and shouting: "Right, right, hey, pounce on it, this punch is good, how stupid it is to do it quickly..."

Wow, this is not watching a football game. Seeing Zhu Youjian’s excited look, Zhu Cheng seemed to have returned to his later generations to watch the World Cup in a bar.

After a while, Zhu Youjian opened the door and rushed out. Perhaps the Jinyiwei won a complete victory, and Zhu Youjian rushed to greet him.

Sure enough, Zhu Youjian led the Jinyiwei who was carrying several people in his hand. The Jinyiwei had bruised noses and swollen faces. It seemed that it was not easy to take down these people. Zhu Cheng counted and caught a total of six people.

As soon as he entered the door, the Jinyiwei threw the six people to the ground. The six people were dressed in black, with a white face, a bloody lips, and a more than a foot long on their tongues.

Uncle Zhang's family was so scared that they hugged each other and shivered.

Zhu Cheng asked, "Tell me, who are you? Who was invited to the imperial village to make trouble?"

The six people closed their eyes and did not answer, looking steadfast and unyielding.

"I am the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. I wonder if you have heard of the Jinyiwei's means of obtaining confessions." Zhu Cheng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "There are eighteen sets of torture instruments in the Jinyiwei, and you can taste them slowly. I can assure you that this pain will never be forgotten until you die. I will introduce you to several common methods first. The first is to brush, press you on the iron bed, brush you hard on the back with an iron brush, brush your skin first, then brush until the meat, and finally the meat is gone, only the thick bones are seen. The second is to fry, put oil on a very large pan, and after the oil is boiled, press you on it, the back is cooked, and then fry the front. The third is to peel... Do you still need to introduce it? People's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. I hope you can make me change this view."

Everyone smelled a smell of urine, and searched around and found that Uncle Zhang's legs were wet under his pants - he, the listener, was scared to pee first.

A man in black wriggled up and down for a while and said, "Sir, I confess. We are bandits, there are thirteen people in total, known as the thirteen cold-blooded eagles. Duke Ding asked us to come here to pretend to be evil spirits, saying that the greater the movement, the better. Six of us walked through the back door, and the other seven walked through the front door..."

Wu Huping recorded the confession of the man in black, put the paper and pen in front of them, and asked them to sign.

Although the name of the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles was very beautiful, there was no one among them who could read the literacy, so they had to press the fingerprint on their confession.

Zhu Cheng comforted Uncle Zhang's family in a whisper, and then took the Jinyiwei to escort the prisoners back to the imperial village in Jingxi. On the way, he happened to meet a team led by Chen Guoqi, who were escorting seven men in black. Now, the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles were reunited.

After returning to the house, he sat down, lit the stove to keep warm, Zhu Youjian roasted the fire for a while, and said, "We will send the confession of the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles to the emperor's brother, and the Duke of Ding is now done."
