Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 3 Jin Yiwei takes action!
Even when Liang Fang was begging for mercy, she was still using the name of Empress Dowager Zhou to threaten Zhu Youtang.

He originally thought that by removing the huge mountain of Empress Dowager Zhou, he would be able to suppress Zhu Youtang.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Youtang was determined to kill him.

Not only were his threats of begging for mercy useless, they made Zhu Youtang even angrier.

Now, people in the harem only know Empress Dowager Zhou, but no one knows about Emperor Zhu Youtang.

If this continues, what will happen?

kill!

They all have to be killed!

Kill these unruly people until they never dare to say no in front of me again!

The Dongchang thugs dragged Liang Fang away nimbly. After a scream, there was no sound again.

The next moment, a eunuch from the East Factory ran towards the Cining Palace with a tray covered with a blood-stained white cloth and a round object underneath.

……

The sky finally darkened.

The dark clouds were still rolling in, but the rain never fell.

Beijing.

Eight alleys.

Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief Wan Tong was having fun with his men in a brothel.

Although his sister, Concubine Wan, passed away, he lost his greatest support in the court.

But there is always a silver lining, and now he has the support of Empress Dowager Zhou.

His power is even greater than before.

He also understood that his previous wealth and glory were given by his sister, and his current wealth and glory were given by Empress Dowager Zhou.

As the saying goes, one should return a favor, so Wantong gave a lot of the people's money he had extorted to the Zhou Mansion.

Wan Tong also recruited several nephews of Empress Dowager Zhou into the Jinyiwei and took them out to play every day.

"Master Wan, you lose, drink now!"

Zhou Ping, a nephew of Empress Dowager Zhou, pointed at Wantong and laughed.

Another nephew of Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Yi, also blushed and clapped his hands to join in the fun.

"Okay, okay, I'll drink it!"

Wantong picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it when suddenly there was a noise at the door, followed by a scream in the entire brothel.

"who?"

Wantong opened his drunken eyes and looked at the door with dissatisfaction.

Mou Bin saw the drunk Wantong at a glance and immediately led his men to Wantong.

Wearing Feiyu suit and embroidered spring sword, isn't this a member of Jinyiwei?

When did the Jinyiwei dare to act wildly against Wantong?
"How dare you guys disturb my fun? I must teach you a lesson..."

When Wantong saw who was coming, he was about to curse, but Mou Bin had already made his move.

He pulled Wantong's head and slammed it hard against the table, and blood immediately appeared on Wantong's forehead.

Wan Tong grimaced in pain and roared, "Mou Bin! How dare you hit me? I'm going to skin you alive!"

Wantong wanted to fight back, but Mou Bin easily subdued him.

"Well said, I will skin you alive tonight!"

Just when Mou Bin captured Wantong, the Jinyiwei behind him also took action at the same time and captured Zhou Ping and Zhou Yi.

Zhou Ping and Zhou Yi were both dumbfounded and fought back desperately.

"Mou Bin, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

"Let go quickly, or you will die today!"

"My father is Zhou Shou, and my aunt is the Grand Empress Dowager Zhou. If you dare to arrest me, my aunt will definitely not let you go!"

"..."

Mou Bin ignored the three men's roars and took them towards the Jinyiwei prison.

The brothel owner, a fat businessman, walked out and stopped in front of Mou Bin.

"My Lords, this is..."

This brothel belongs to the Zhou family, and he is the manager of the Zhou family.

Seeing that the two young masters were about to be taken away in front of him, he had to stand up to stop them.

Mou Bin's eyes were like knives: "Jinyiwei is doing the job, everyone else should stay away!" "Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

The manager stood back silently and watched Mou Bin and the three people leave the brothel.

This scene was also happening simultaneously in every corner of the capital.

All the Jinyiwei who were close to Wantong Zhou were taken away for investigation by the new Jinyiwei led by Qinglong, Baihu and others.

There were many witnesses and the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

"What does the Jinyiwei mean by this? Why are they arresting their own people so aggressively?"

"Internal strife? It's really a dog-eat-dog situation!"

"I always feel like something is wrong. Is the weather going to change?"

"..."

The senior officials in the court were somewhat confused, but they could sense that the wind direction in the court might change in the future.

Jinyiwei Yamen.

Imprisonment.

The air was filled with the smell of mold and decay, and it was chilling enough to penetrate the bones.

Wantong, who was very arrogant when he was just arrested, is now like a stray dog, begging for mercy.

He was tied to the execution rack, all his clothes were stripped off, his flesh had been cut off in several pieces, and his body was covered in blood.

"I admit everything. Gentlemen, please ask quickly!"

Mou Bin sneered, raised his knife and slashed, and another piece of flesh and blood fell to the ground.

"Didn't you just say you were going to skin me alive? Who is skinning who alive now?"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Master Mou, you are slicing me, you are slicing me, I beg you to stop slicing me, I will confess everything, I will definitely confess!"

Wantong was twitching in pain and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

Mou Bin then put away his knife and asked coldly, "Tell me! Who else in the Jinyiwei, the imperial court, and the harem are the Grand Empress Dowager's people?"

When Wantong heard the name of Empress Dowager Zhou, his eyes widened and his whole body trembled like a sieve.

Is someone planning to take action against Empress Dowager Zhou?
He had been hoping that the Grand Empress Dowager Zhou would come to his rescue. If she really fell, he would be finished!

"No?"

The embroidered spring knife in Mou Bin's hand flashed again and cut off Wantong's nose alive.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"I confess! I confess everything! Stop cutting!"

Wantong twitched in pain and uttered name after name in a trembling voice.

At this moment, a person who had always been ignored by him appeared in his mind.

Such a big move, could it be that His Majesty is trying to seize power?

Thinking of this, Wan Tong felt disheartened and his heart was filled with fear.

The capital city was extremely lively that night.

No one noticed that a fast horse entered from the east gate in a low-key manner and went straight to the Ministry of War.

"Eight hundred miles of rush, Datong Prefecture's troops are defeated!"

After the messenger handed the secret letter to the clerk in the Ministry of War, he fainted due to exhaustion.

The clerk received the secret letter and handed it to the Minister of War Ma Wensheng without delay.

Ma Wensheng took the letter, read it, and was so frightened that he knocked over the teacup beside him.

"Datong Prefecture was defeated, and the little Tatar prince entered the pass!"

"After Datong Prefecture, it will be a straight road to the capital, and the capital will have no strategic location to defend."

"The heart of the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely exposed to the saber of the little Tatar prince."

"This...what should I do?"

Ma Wensheng didn't hesitate too much. He immediately put on his outer robe and got on the carriage of the Ministry of War: "Quick, hurry into the palace!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The coachman did not dare to delay and hurriedly took Ma Wensheng to the palace.

Soon, a magnificent palace complex appeared in front of Ma Wensheng.
