"Hurry up, I remember there is an uninhabited house nearby, let's rush in and wash it up!" Li Tianhe pointed to the end of the alley and shouted.

At the same time, Chen Dehai led his servants to keep retreating under the oppression of Xuanzhen soldiers.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Xuanzhen soldiers wanted to catch people alive, Chen Dehai would have died under the guns of the Xuanzhen soldiers long ago.

"Withdraw, retreat!" Chen Dehai watched the Xuanzhen soldiers rushing forward, and withdrew from the yamen hall to the backyard.

With him, there were also rout soldiers, about 600 of whom were rout soldiers.

These routs were made up of thousands of households who had returned from the rout on the streets, including their own servants.

The rest of the rout soldiers were basically captured alive, and now only these more elite ones are left.

"You still want to run? Brothers, run for me. Just now I saw Eighteen Thousand Households leading their brothers to the back door. Now they have nowhere to escape."

A thousand-eyed man stared at Chen Dehai and some rout soldiers who were retreating, and shouted loudly.

Chen Dehai looked at Xuan Zhenbing who rushed over with a gloomy expression, and said with anticipation in his heart: "I hope Li Tianhe can escape with the governor, otherwise, my efforts will be in vain."

"Retreat, retreat!" Chen Dehai yelled again, leading his servants to flee to the back.

The rout soldiers around him also hurriedly fled to the back.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of intensive footsteps behind them.

Chen Dehai's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked behind.

I saw a group of Xuanzhen soldiers armed with live ammunition rushing from behind.

"It's over, we've failed!" Chen Dehai looked at the Xuanzhen soldiers who were attacking back and forth, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"We've lost, we've lost!" Chen Dehai yelled, feeling sad, and couldn't help but think of what his father told him before he left.

"Our Chen family has been loyal and good for generations. Since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, we have never done anything wrong to the court. No matter how difficult it is in the future, you must be loyal to the court."

Chen Dehai recalled the words his father had warned him before he left, and a savage look suddenly flashed across his face.

He raised the long knife in his hand, put it under his neck, and was about to kill himself.

Seeing this, the servant next to him hurriedly shouted: "My lord, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as we are not dead, everything still has a chance, my lord must not."

But Chen Dehai already had the will to die, how could he listen to these words.

He looked at the Xuanzhen soldiers rushing from behind, and suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the long knife.

"Oh!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

Qianhu, who rushed in from the back door with soldiers and horses, looked at Chen Dehai in front of him, and there was still a faint smoke coming out of the muzzle of the 56 and a half gun in his hand.

"This must be a high-ranking official. It's not that easy to commit suicide!" Qianhu's eyes flashed, and he threw the 56 and a half in his hand to the guard behind him.

"Brothers, go, catch them alive!" Qianhu shouted, leading the way and rushing towards this side.

The bullet shot by Qianhu hit Chen Dehai's arm holding the long knife, and the bullet passed through the muscle of his right forearm.

Under severe pain, the knife in Chen Dehai's hand fell to the ground.

While speaking, Xuanzhen soldiers from the front and back surrounded them, aiming their weapons at them.

"Surrender without killing, Surrender without killing, Surrender without killing!"

Xuanzhen soldiers surrounded Chen Dehai and these rout soldiers, shouting loudly.

The huge roar shocked the hearts of these people.

Under the siege and shouts of the Xuanzhen soldiers, the defeated soldiers around Chen Dehai began to put their weapons on the ground, and at the same time knelt respectfully on the ground.

Chen Dehai covered the wound on his right forearm, and looked at Xuan Zhenbing with a ferocious expression.

"I'd rather die standing up than living on my knees, if you have the ability, beat me to death!" Chen Dehai looked at them and hissed loudly.

The servant behind him hurriedly surrounded Chen Dehai, holding a waist knife and looking at them vigilantly.

"Kill you? Killing you is taking advantage of you. Brothers, let's go together and disarm all these people!" Qian Hu who rushed in from the back door pointed at Chen Dehai and shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him rushed towards Chen Dehai and the guards behind him.

Chapter 405 You Bad My Name

Within a few breaths, Chen Dehai and the servants beside him were overwhelmed by the rushing soldiers, and the weapons in their hands were snatched by Xuanzhen soldiers.

Chen Dehai was pressed to the ground by seven or eight Xuanzhen soldiers.

"You rebels, ungrateful and ungrateful people, get the hell out of here!"

Chen Dehai was pressed down, hissing loudly.

However, no matter how he shouted, the soldiers on his body did not move.

Qian Hu, who came in from the back door, pointed at Chen Dehai below, and said in a deep voice: "Tie them up, especially this official, the wounds on his body should be treated well, and at the same time, show him to death, don't let him die." He killed himself.

The rest, follow me to search the governor's yamen, and make sure to find the governor for me. "

"As ordered!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers took out the ropes they had prepared and tied up all these people on the ground.

As for Chen Dehai, he was tied up like a rice dumpling.

"Let's go!" Qianhu looked at these people who had been arrested, waved his hand, and led the people to search all over the governor's office.

Not to be outdone, the soldiers who came in from the front door rushed in too.

When the sun began to set towards the western mountain, a thousand households who searched the Governor's Yamen stood in the hall of the Governor's Yamen with a dull expression on their faces.

"What's the matter? Why hasn't the governor of Shanxi been searched yet?" This thousand household was called Li Bin, and he walked back and forth in the hall with a gloomy face.

"I said, Lao Li, don't worry, the governor of Shanxi is a big fish, so it is naturally more difficult."

Another Qianhu who was standing in the hall hastily spoke with relief.

Li Bin let out a long breath, "Can I not be in a hurry? It has been almost an hour and a half since I entered the governor's office. The governor's office is only this big. Even a mouse can be found after such a long time." , but up to now, the governor of Shanxi has still not moved at all."

"That's true. You think the governor of Shanxi ran away?" Another thousand households looked at Li Bin with doubts on their faces.

Li Bin walked up to the table and patted it, "Impossible, according to what the captives in the yamen said, when we attacked the governor's yamen, the governor of Shanxi was still in the yamen. When I led the soldiers and horses into the back door, The back door was still locked from the inside.

It took only two or three quarters of an hour from the time we started our attack to breaking through the Yamen. In such a short period of time, even if the governor of Shanxi ran away, we would not have been unaware.

But why have we searched the yamen for such a long time, but there is not even a trace?This is so abnormal. "

Li Bin frowned and said with an uncomfortable expression.

Li Bin felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought of a big fish slipping away from his hands.

This is the governor of Shanxi, a great official in the frontier. If he can be captured alive, it will have a great impact on Xuanzhen and the court.

Letting him escape from him like this now is too unacceptable.

"So what do we do now?" another Qianhu asked.

Li Bin sighed heavily, "What else can I do? Since you can't find it in the yamen, let's throw all the people out and look for it outside.

At the same time, let the military counselor paint a portrait of the governor of Shanxi according to the description of the captives, and then post the portrait in the entire Taiyuan Mansion. I still don't believe it. "

When Li Bin's order was passed on, the soldiers and horses under his command immediately moved around with the governor's office as the center.

And Li Bin also brought a team and participated in it himself.

……

"My lord, the governor's yamen has been breached, and now the entire Taiyuan Mansion has fallen into our hands!"

A messenger appeared in the courtyard in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.

At this time, Zhao Wen was standing in the yard talking with Li Xiaosan about something.

When Zhao Wen heard the news, his face was not very happy, and he looked very calm.

In Zhao Wen's view, it is only a very normal thing to completely win Taiyuan Mansion.

After all, with such a powerful weapon in his body, no matter what, he could still take down Taiyuan Mansion.

"Since that's the case, then put up the Announcement to Appease the People and do a good job of appeasing the people in the city.

Subsidize the people who lost in the battle, and at the same time, count the weapons and ammunition spent in the battle and the meritorious service of the soldiers. "

Zhao Wen looked at the messenger and said slowly.

After the messenger left, Zhao Wen was still a little uneasy.

"Little San, you should go to this matter again yourself, otherwise I am not at ease." Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, and said loudly, "Obey!"

At the same time, Li Tianhe has already arrived at the residence he mentioned earlier with Wu Tong on his shoulders.

"My lord, how do you know that there is no one in this house?"

After rushing into the dwelling, these people hastily closed the door tightly.

There was a well in the front yard of the residence. Li Tianhe and the others hurriedly found a bucket, pumped well water from the well, and washed the dirty things on their bodies.

Li Tianhe stripped himself naked, threw his clothes aside, picked up a bucket of well water and poured it over his head.

Stimulated by the cold well water, Li Tianhe shivered.

He looked at the servant who was inquiring, and said, "The reason why I know that there is no one in this residence is because there used to be a gambler living in this residence.

This gambler is addicted to gambling, but his luck is very bad.After he lost all his silver, he mortgaged the house to his creditors.

But his creditor later committed another crime. He colluded with bandits outside the city and killed a dozen members of a family of gentry outside the city.

At that time, I personally sent troops to arrest them. When the stolen goods were liquidated later, the house was liquidated.

This house is just an ordinary dwelling, and it finally fell into the hands of the governor's office.

At that time, the yamen wanted to sell the house, but the house was so ordinary that the rich despised it and the poor couldn't afford it, so it remained idle. "

"But my lord, why don't we know about this?" the servant asked unwillingly.

They are Li Tianhe's servants, the most powerful and most trusted force in Li Tianhe's hands. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to supervise this kind of thing without knowing.

Li Tianhe chuckled, "I was only a hundred households at the time, how could I have the money to support you? At that time, there were only seven or eight servants in my hand. Later, these seven or eight servants also left me for various reasons. , so of course you don’t know.”

"That's true!" Ding nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, Li Tianhe had about 80 servants in total, but in order to defend the governor's office, he sent out a large number of servants in his hands.

It's a pity that none of the servants sent out came back, and in the end there were only a dozen of them left around.

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and clean the dirt on your body again, and wash your clothes again." Li Tianhe casually tied his loose and wet hair into a bun, and then took off his clothes. The clothes that came down were hung on the clothesline next to the well.

After hanging up the clothes, Li Tianhe fetched another bucket of water from the well and began to pour the clothes on.

After cleaning up the dirt visible to the naked eye on the clothes, Li Tianhe found a wooden basin and started cleaning.

It didn't take long for Li Tianhe to put on the clothes that were almost washed but still wet.

"You guys, come here and help!" Li Tianhe stood beside the sleeping Wu Zhen, and pointed to a few servants by the well who had already been washed.

These servants didn't hesitate, put on the washed clothes and walked towards Li Tianhe.

"You guys lifted up the adults, I took off the clothes on his body, and washed the adults' body."

With that said, the servants who called over lifted Wu Zhen up.

Li Tianhe also quickly took off the clothes on Wu Xin's body.

"Go and wash the adults' clothes, and fetch another bucket of water by the way!"

Li Tianhe handed over the stripped clothes to these servants, and ordered at the same time.

The servants nodded and hurried towards the well.

After a while, a bucket of clean well water was placed in front of Li Tianhe's eyes.

Li Tianhe put Wu Xin flat on the ground, then picked up the bucket, and began to pour water on Wu Xin slowly.
