Hearing this, the subordinate in charge of the periphery alert quickly replied: "I saw him alone at that time, and there was nothing else."

However, Fan Wencheng was not relieved, so he turned to look at the strong man and sneered: "Friends, how many people have you come here? It's better to tell the truth, otherwise you will have to suffer if you break up!"

"Bah!" The strong man looked angry and shouted fiercely, "Who is friends with you thieves! I tell you that many people have come to us this time. Since you thieves are trapped in the trap, you can't escape from the barrier again!"

His words made the traitors look ugly. For a moment, no one could tell whether this strong man came alone or whether he had a companion to come with him.

Fan Wencheng's face was very gloomy, and he ordered several men to go and search around, and then said to the other person: "Serve him well and let him confess honestly!"

"Hahaha, do you think I am you guys without bones?" The strong man heard this without any fear and shouted loudly, "Come on, what tricks do you have to do to me. If I make a sound, I will not be a good man in the world!"

At this moment, even Fan Wencheng seemed unwilling to face the man's gaze directly, and just waved his hand and asked his men to torture him.

And a place not far from here, in a mud hole under the slope, he curled up and hid the thin man, which was also due to his figure. Otherwise, if he had changed to a strong man, he would not be able to hide at all.

At this moment, he burst into tears.

Just before, I was accidentally discovered by those dog thieves. It was the eldest brother who asked him to hide, but he himself showed up to attract the attention of those dog thieves. Now what my elder brother said is actually telling him to reassure him that he will not say even if he dies.

I must survive and report this situation to the gang leader. This time the dog thief came to Yongping, there are still many people and horses. This matter must be wanted in the entire world, and the government will definitely not let them go. This time, no matter what, we must catch them, avenge our elder brother, and avenge the Han people who were killed by them!

At this moment, he never thought about catching these dog thieves and making profits for his gang.

That night, the dog thieves quietly searched the surroundings several times, and even once, they stood on the top of the slope where he was hiding. But in the end, they didn't find it. Until the dawn, the group of dog thieves rode their horses south.

The thin man did not show up immediately. The experience of the Jianghu told him to be cautious. These traitors kept their watch in a very hidden way when they rested at night, and must be very cunning people.

He was indeed not wrong. After a while, the sound of horse hooves returned, and after a round trip, he went south again.

The thin man waited until the sun was rising very high and felt that the traitors would not come back before he was ready to get out of the hole. But at this moment, his hands and feet were already cold and numb. In the winter sun, he recovered for a while before he could stand up stumble.

At the first moment, he found his elder brother. No surprise, he proved that he was a hero in the world. Since the roar last night, there was no sound again. Even though the traitors left so many scars on him and used so many means, the elder brother did not make a sound until his death, let alone begging for mercy.

The thin man knelt down next to the strong man's body, reached out to help the elder brother close his eyes with wide open eyes, and sweared with sobs: "Brother, rest in peace, I remember your grudges and your family's grudges. I will go and report the news first. If those traitors are not allowed to die, they will never let them escape, I swear!"

After saying that, he looked at the strong man's body a little reluctantly, turned around resolutely, and stumbled towards Yongping Prefecture City.

At the gate of Yongping Prefecture, several soldiers guarding the gate were leaning against the wall bored to keep warm. Suddenly, they found a man outside the city almost rolling and crawling towards the city gate. The leader looked closely and couldn't help but smile: "Look, that's not Hou San. I guess he had spent all night in the wilderness and he was frozen like that bird, haha!"

When the other soldiers heard this, they looked out and laughed. Seeing that their lips were purple, they seemed to be still fighting!

"Hurry, please take me to see my gang leader, there is a great reward!" Hou San shouted hard, but fell to the ground again, but immediately got up tremblingly and came to the city gate, "Five taels of silver, pay immediately!"

He knew that if these soldiers did not give benefits, they would not help. The government would not care about the matters in the pursuit order in the Jianghu, but the man was a traitor, so he might be responsible. However, the government's efficiency was too low. When the government reacted, the traitors didn't know where to go.

Hou San naturally didn't know that the factory guards had already made a big move, just to avoid alarming the enemy. In addition to asking the Axe Gang to issue a gang, the open yamen did not issue a wanted notice. Otherwise, they would be afraid that Fan Wencheng and others would immediately run away as soon as they saw the notice.

The leader was quite surprised when he heard this. Five taels of silver were a lot! He asked two men to help Hou San, but he stood there and asked, "Hou San, what are you doing? Tell you, we can't participate in the gang grudges."

"I have encountered a traitor in the pursuit order. If I don't report it to the gang leader immediately, those people will run away." Hou San replied quickly.

The pursuit order of the Jianghu Lake is not a trivial matter, and these soldiers have also heard of it. When the leader heard it, he immediately understood what it was, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he asked quickly: "But that traitor Fan Wencheng?"

"That's right, I'll give you all the money I saved." Hou San almost begged, "My elder brother was killed outside by a traitor, and he's still waiting for me to collect the body!"

The leader originally wanted to confirm it again, but when he heard it, he no longer doubted it and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Come on, help him and follow me!"

"Brother, what should I do about this city gate?" Some subordinates asked quickly when they saw it. Now they are on the turn, and it is not a big deal to lose one person. However, the leader is not here and there are still a few. If the superiors pursue it, it will be a big trouble.

But the officer in charge seemed to care no matter what, and just replied: "You can just watch it alone!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked. After walking a few steps, he saw that although Hou San was being helped, he still didn't walk fast, and immediately ordered: "Hurry, carry him on his back and follow me."

Hou San was puzzled. It seemed that money had worked so much.

However, he immediately found that the direction seemed to be wrong. He was walking towards a house near the city gate, and then hurriedly said, "I am going to see our gang leader, you are wrong!"

The officer ignored him, quickly reached the door, broke into it directly, and after reaching the yard, he stood respectfully and reported to it loudly: "Sir, there is news about Fan Wencheng's traitor!"

As soon as he said this, a person suddenly jumped out of it. He looked very energetic and stared at the officer, saying with a little surprise: "Where is it?"

"He saw it." The officer immediately turned around and lowered Hou San, and then reminded Hou San, "This is Lord Liu, the Jinyiwei. He had been waiting in Yongping Mansion for a long time, and there was news about Fan Wencheng's traitor. Come on, hurry up and don't hide anything!"

When he heard this, Hou Sanda was shocked. Unexpectedly, he was from the Jinyiwei, and his ability to capture was much higher than that of those who were in the world. Immediately, he told the matter from beginning to end and carefully described the image of Fan Wencheng and others and their final destination.

After hearing this, Lord Liu of the Jinyiwei heard that he did not dare to delay any further. He immediately ordered the officer to go to somewhere to call people, and then said to Hou San: "Can you still persist? Only you have seen those people, and I am afraid you will follow us to arrest the prisoners."

Hou San was actually in a bad state at this time. In such a cold day, he stayed in the wild for a day. But when he heard the words of the Jinyiwei, he nodded without saying a word and said, "It's okay, I can do it. I can recognize those traitors at a glance!"

Not long after, a bunch of people suddenly appeared in Yongping Mansion, obviously all of them were from the Jinyiwei. They took Hou San and quickly out of the city and headed south. Hou San's help brought the strong man's body back to the city with his brothers. Looking at the tortured and cruelty of the strong man, listening to the retelling of the gate guard Ding, almost all the gangs in Yongping Mansion sent their own capable and used their own channels to spread a big net to the entire capital.

A little later, even Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City received the news in the chat group.

This big traitor has really come to the gate. Since that's the case, I don't believe it anymore and can still escape.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order to intensify patrols in the northern border immediately, and not allow people to smuggle out of the pass. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Fanzi in the capital were all in search of Fan Wencheng's whereabouts. In the chat group, Wu Ergou was directly notified to mobilize all the forces he could mobilize, and he must capture Fan Wencheng and be clear that he would survive!

For a moment, the world was surging and could be seen everywhere. A large number of people in the world rushed by, looking at anyone with bad eyes. People who didn't know the situation thought there was a gang struggle, so they were careful to avoid these people in the world. However, they were also strange. In the past, if these people in the world had made too much trouble, the government would immediately suppress it. But this time, it seemed different. The government had not responded to this situation for a long time.

Even if Fan Wencheng died, he would not have thought that the Jianghu would move for him. At this time, because of the abnormal situation in Yongping Prefecture City, he ran far away for safety plans and ran to Kaiping County, far away from Yongping Prefecture City.

Although this county town is located on the official road between the capital and Shanhaiguan, it is not large in scale and is from a small county town. Fan Wencheng learned from the previous lessons and tried his best to be like a monk when he went out, and did not dare to be careless anymore.

Here, he met the Kaiping Branch of the Censorate and the Kaiping Children's School. He patiently asked for the news carefully, and finally he figured out a lot of things that happened in Ming Dynasty.

Just now, three days later, in a small temple room outside the city, Fan Wencheng, who was hanging a list here, seemed to be meditating and thinking for a long time. It was late at night that he understood everything in his mind, and immediately started writing quickly with the help of the light of the oil lamp.

In the letter, he described the changes in the Ming Dynasty that he had found out in the past few days. From the Ming Dynasty's national policy to the reform of the military system of the garrison, from the establishment of the copyright and patent office, the invention of cement, the emergence of steam engines, and banks, paper money, etc., he wrote in detail, even if the letter paper was not enough, and he asked his men to go to the temple to take some special requests.

At the end of these experiences, Fan Wencheng commented with an extremely serious expression: "If the national strength of the Ming Kingdom continues like this, it will become stronger and stronger. If there is no civil strife, our Qing Dynasty will no longer have a chance! Therefore, I plan to risk my life to go to the capital to see if there is a chance to provoke the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the ministers, so as to instigate the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the various factions in the Ming Dynasty, and disrupt the Ming Dynasty, so as to create an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty. What I think is the following strategies!"

"First, although the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had good science and technology, it harmed the interests of current scholars. Therefore, the slave planned to start from this aspect, provoke scholars to cause trouble and oppose this technological strategy. No matter what the result is, it can clearly distinguish the hearts of the monarch and his subjects!"

"Secondly, imitate Ming Dynasty paper money. No matter what the result is, the people of Ming Dynasty must always make the reputation of their paper money. When using paper money, they will be suspicious, which will make the Ming Dynasty's financial policies poorly operate, thereby affecting people's livelihood and borders."

"Third, the Ming Dynasty is carrying out reforms in the military system of the garrison. Any reforms will be made, and there will be vested interests and those who are damaged. Think about it. If there is any opportunity for those who are damaged to vent their interests, it will hinder their innovation. Major military and national affairs can still contain the energy of the Ming Dynasty's monarch and ministers."

"Fourth, the Ming Dynasty's plan to open up the sea greatly damaged the interests of the previous smuggling merchants, and their interfering with the Western Barbarians also added opponents to themselves. When the slaves were ready to work in the capital, they went to the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast. Can there be any chance to contact them? Let the merchants who went to the South China Sea communicate with our Qing Dynasty, so that the Western Barbarians and our Qing Dynasty became allies and formed an anti-Ming Alliance!"

“…”

Fan Wencheng thought about the new policy of the Ming Dynasty one by one, one by one, and it has to be said that although some methods are unreliable, such as forging paper money, it is impossible for Fan Wencheng to forge it at all with his ability to Fan Wencheng, but some of his strategies are still threatening.

For example, colluding with Southeast smuggling merchants and Western barbarians. Those smuggling merchants do not care about the country for the sake of their interests. As long as they have sufficient interests, they will not care about their lives or death. Once they contact the Dutch, they may also cooperate with the Qing Dynasty.

When Fan Wencheng stopped writing, he looked at the dense stack of letter papers and couldn't help but stretch and looked up. Before he knew it, it was already dawn. But no matter what, he finally explained to the emperor a little.

Just as he was about to call his subordinates in, he heard a vague sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
