As soon as everyone walked to the gate of the courtyard, several Jinyi Captains had searched here. Two groups of people happened to meet. The Jinyi Guard's small flag eyes were bright. When they saw the dress of the wearer of this wave of people, they immediately determined that the identity of these people was either rich or noble. In a very happy mood, the small flag raised his knife and shouted: "Stop! He was ordered to arrest the suspect, and everyone else gathered in front!"

Fan Yongdou and others were all traveling around the world and knowledgeable, but they had never seen the clothes and armor of these people in front of them before, and they spoke in the accent of the capital. Could it be that the governor's bidding camp? It is said that the governor left Beijing and took office as Xuanda. The emperor selected thousands of cavalry from the Beijing camp to enhance his senses. But although his family had not yet taken the line from the Governor's Palace, he had never offended him?

Fan Yong bowed and said, "I wonder which adult is under the jurisdiction of Guichai? We are all good merchants who follow the laws of the court. We are innocent people at home, so how can we say a suspect? Fan went to visit Guichai Shangguan and asked about this matter in person!"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi sneered: "Stop talking nonsense! You will know when you are in front of you! You can tell me that you have no eyes and no tricks! Let's go!"

Several lieutenants rushed forward and surrounded Fan Yongdou and others with swords. Everyone was unable to speak in front of the shaking weapons, so they had to move forward. Fan Yongdou was unwilling to accept it. As he walked, he took out a gold ingot from his arms, which was five taels. This was for daily rewards. He took a few steps to the little flag and whispered: "This man is convenient, can you tell me who is coming today?" Xiaoqi turned around, and Fan Yongdou stretched out his hand to cover it with his sleeve, and the gold ingot had already slid into the little flag's hand.

The little flag did not hide it, and threw it a few times with the gold ingots, and said with a smile: "You call yourself Fan, maybe it's the real master Fan Yongdou this time? It seems that I'm lucky. I'm just the first thing I can do to catch you. I can't escape when I go back to Beijing to get a reward. You should understand now, right? Let's go, Mr. Fan!"

When Fan Yongdou heard the words of returning to Beijing to receive a reward, he suddenly felt like five thunderstorms. His mind was blank. His mouth was as if he wanted to speak, but his mouth was stuck. He vaguely felt that the situation was not good this time, and the identities of these soldiers were almost clear. The notorious institution that was rampant in the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago was about to emerge!

Wang Dengku and others also heard the conversation between them. They were shocked and understood the identity of these people, but they were still a little lucky. They felt that the Jinyiwei was just coming to Fan’s mansion to get people. There might not be anything wrong with his mansion. Maybe Fan Yongdou offended the big man in the capital, so they sent Jinyi to capture it. This time the Fan family seemed to be bleeding. Although the Jinyiwei had almost disappeared over the years, the beast that had been dormant for a long time was still a beast. Once they opened their mouths and exposed their fangs, they would definitely see them.

Those who eat flesh and blood, according to the legendary virtues of the Jinyiwei, the Fan family might lose all their money. These people did not care about the money and materials exchanges with Jiannu. They thought that merchants made money and did whatever they did business with. The Jurchens gave them silver, fur, ginseng, and Dongzhu, and transported them food, iron and medicinal materials, which was just a normal business. As for selling stolen goods for the Jurchens, they turned many gold, silver and jewelry that were not cleaned from blood, they pretended not to know.

Fan Yongdou and others walked along the way, with Jinyi lieutenants everywhere, and relatives of the Fan family were constantly being taken to the front from various courtyards and halls. The group passed through the vast courtyard and came to the first courtyard of Fan's house. Many guests who had been gathered together had disappeared, and all the personnel were escorted to the square in front of the reward hall in the fort.

Zuo Jinzhong was sitting on a chair and flipping through an account book. He caught Fan Yongdou and others and knelt on one knee. After marching, he replied: "Report to the Lord Qianhu, Fan Yongdou has been captured by a humble official! There are eight other people {a Fan Mansion butler} who are unknown! Please give me a message!" After saying that, he turned sideways and pointed to Fan Yongdou in front.

Zuo Jinzhong put away the account book and stood up, smiled and walked to Fan Yongdou, who was in front with his hands behind his back, looked up and down and said, "This is Fan Yuanwai? Fan Yuanwai is a big business! Isn't it that someone has never seen the world. I just briefly looked over the account book for the special account. After roughly calculating, the amount of gold and silver on it surprised me! Tsk tsk, what a pity! If you were to operate it properly, you would never meet someone in your life. But, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, why would you betray me?

Ming Dynasty, slave thieves! Earn money with conscience!”, Speaking of the last sentence, Zuo Jinzhong's tone suddenly became gloomy and cold, and his eyes stared at Fan Yongdou as a solid person. As the Jinyiwei who is most loyal to the royal family and the Ming Dynasty, it is understandable to embezzle and accept bribes, bully men and women, eat and take cattle, etc., but only communicating with slave thieves is an unforgivable crime to punish the clan, which cannot be accepted and tolerated, because it is a betrayal of the royal family and the Ming Dynasty, and a betrayal of the Han people, the tribe they are proud of.

Fan Yongdou was no longer afraid at this time and replied proudly: "This adult, the villain is a businessman, and his ancestors have been subjects of the Ming Dynasty for generations. How could he betray? It is natural for merchants to make money by doing business. The villain admitted that he had traded with the Jurchens, but his purpose was only to make money. He never thought of betraying the Ming Dynasty and the court! Do not frame the young ones!"

Zuo Jinzhong sneered and said, "Fan Yongdou, you won't cry until you see the coffin! When you have seen the eighteen methods of the Jinyiwei curbing prisoners, I believe that you will confess even when you were three years old to peek at your wife taking a bath!" After saying that, a thin captain stepped forward, pinched Fan Yongdou's cheeks and took off his chin, which was a means to prevent the resentful criminal from committing suicide by biting his tongue.

The two lieutenants took the ropes and tied Fan Yongdou tightly and carried him into a house in the front yard. The torture master of the Jinyiwei was waiting inside because they knew that Fan Yongdou and others could read and write, and they would take out all the knowledge after removing their chins.

Wang Dengku and others looked pale and ugly. Their usual low-key appearance on the outside and arrogant attitude was swept away. Zuo Jinzhong's words had already shattered their fantasies. It turned out that this time, the Jinyiwei was not only for the Fan family, but everyone became grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could escape. The relationship that used to spend a lot of gold, silver and antiques was worthless in front of these emperors' personal troops, and some officials were also doomed this time.

Zuo Jinzhong ordered: "Everyone is tied up! Each person has a room and will be tried separately! All the accounts and housekeepers of the eight families have also been tried in trial! Tell them that those who report important clues can be exempted from being punished! Those who refuse to confess will be punished and serve them! And let others watch! Eight mansions began to search for stolen goods and dirty silver, and those who resisted will be killed without any hesitation!"

A hundred households hurriedly ran out of the inner house and shouted: "Report to the Qianhu, there is a small building in the back garden of the Fan family, with several people hiding in it, holding bows, arrows, swords and guns! The subordinates are surrounded by people, so I come to ask the adults for instructions!"
