Chapter 58: The End of Shanxi Merchants

Yun Yi, who brought a thousand guards and two hundred palace maids, abandoned the car and rode on horses in order to chase the robbed supplies, and chased them wildly.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Foreign Affairs urgently reported."

The messenger came in a hurry. Yun Yi, who had to stop, ordered everyone to rest for a while and take the report.

"It seems that Minister Sun has completed the task I assigned."

Before leaving, a series of evidence compiled by the Huaxia Empire of the eight major Shanxi merchants colluded with the enemy and sold the country, bribed the border army and important officials in the court, was sent to Zhu Youxiao, as well as the approximate total wealth of the Shanxi merchants, and Zhu Youjian District helped with the help of the fire. The carpenter emperor finally made up his mind to eradicate the eight major Shanxi merchants. The personnel of the Huaxia Empire worked together to prevent the collusion personnel on the list from fleeing.

At this time in the capital city, the Jinyiwei detective cavalry was spreading to the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty, catching up the property of Shanxi merchants, and searching for officials who invaded the court and ministers they supported.

The horses were provided by the immigrant stations of various Chinese Empires along the way. After chasing for three days, the cavalry team had quickly caught up with the robbed supplies.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is resting in Linshui Town 5 kilometers ahead." Liu Meng came up to report in time.

After a few days of running around, she could not cause any discomfort to the guards and palace maids who had already opened a layer of gene lock. Except for Ai Xier, the stubborn following her has made her look haggard.

"Stay rest for a while, check the weapons, and do not allow mercy to these enemies, but do not harm the civilians."

"Yes." Liu Meng immediately sent an order.

After a while, the guards who were ready to go on the horse, leaving the maid and Ai Xier, and under Yun Yi's leadership, they rode their horses towards the enemy.

As a member of the Han family, Han Gan General never worrys about food and clothing, but he is not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and likes to dance with guns and sticks, and is arranged by his family to join the border army when he becomes an adult. He has never been to the battlefield to kill enemies, but his official position is getting higher and higher. This privately led troops to plunder the Chinese Empire, which is a beautiful trip to him. Not only is he famous among the Shanxi merchants, he can make a fortune by various rewards and the sharing of plundering materials.

At this time, he and his servants were enjoying the various meat and wines provided by Shanxi merchants along the way, and all the transported merchants could enjoy a fat meal.

The bustling temporary station was filled with various shouts, the sound of wine and the smell of meat from the servants mixed with the smell of poor wine filled the entire camp.

Suddenly, the bowls and chopsticks on the table seemed to be shaking slightly, and as time passed, the people who reacted looked into the distance and saw a cavalry line composed of fiery red rushing out at the bend of a small wood in front of Linshui Town, and rushed towards the temporary station.

"Enemy attack."

A shrill cry followed, and the camp was in chaos in an instant. The people of Linshui Town, who had a slightly faster reaction, hurried home, preparing to take their families to escape the military disaster.

The Korean general wanted to escape, but he was reluctant to give up the bulk of commodity supplies. His legs trembled and he did not dare to organize his soldiers to resist.

The moment passed by his hesitation. Outside the camp where he had not organized a slightly decent defense, the guards holding Yanhuang's style of rifle were already in front of him.

"Ba, bha..."

The guards accurately shot their fire skills and cruel expressions, accurately hitting the Ming soldiers holding muskets, swords and spears.

Looking at the surrounding imperial soldiers, General Han Shen murmured to himself with a pale face: "It's too late, it's over."

The servants who only knew how to be powerful and domineering were surrounded by Han Gang in panic, looking at the chief martial arts master among the servants in the distance, preparing to attack and was completely wiped out their resistance. They only allowed the imperial soldiers to slaughter any Ming soldiers who dared to resist.

Ignoring the trembling men hiding under the frame, Yun Yi drove his horse to the surrounding Han Shen General.

"Han General, the third son of the head of the Han family of Shanxi merchants, and the general under the Datong General's Office, is it right?"

"Give me your life, sir, I just follow the orders and let me go."

General Han Shen knelt on the ground in an instant, bursting with tears. The servants also knelt on the ground with no backbone and begged for mercy loudly. The backbone had already fallen to the ground.

"The ideas were all from Fan Yongdou. He joined forces with the Shanxi merchant family to rob the caravan of the Chinese Empire. Sir, spare my life, I will tell you everything I know."

"No need." Looking at the wet water oozing out of the ground, Yun Yi waved his hand in disgust.

"Ba, bha..."

The Korean ginseng was accompanied by his servants and fell in a pool of blood.

"Order immediately to surround the main Shanxi merchant family and join the Ming Jinyiwei to block various checkpoints to prevent the Shanxi merchant members on the list from escaping. We have already taken back our property, and the Shanxi merchants' property of hundreds of millions of silver will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty. Imperial officials are not allowed to intervene."

"Yes." The 1,000 guards were divided into several small teams according to the order and received their respective tasks. They soon disappeared in front of Yun Yi. Only the twenty guards led by Liu Meng, Fan Lin and Wu Xun were left behind.

At the Zhangjiakou Pass, the Jinyiwei and the Huaxia Empire guards first blocked the place.

Fanjia Manor, Qiaojiabao and other Shanxi merchants' homes have been blocked.

Old Master Fan no longer had the scenery and pride of the past few days, and only fear was left. Fan Yongdou kept turning around in a hurry.

"Dad, the servant who had just been sent to test has fallen at the door of his house, and he only blocked it and ignored it. What should I do now?"

"How do I know what to do? Maybe we have provoked someone who cannot be provoked. Look at the soldiers surrounding our family to know how powerful they are. Oh, I regret it." Fan Ming's face turned gray and looked at his son and said in despair.

"Does we have to surrender? Let's fight to the death and then escape to the Later Jin Dynasty. Maybe we will have a way out, and Fan Wencheng of the Later Jin Dynasty can provide us with shelter."

Fan Yongdou is unwilling to say goodbye.

"What else can we do? All the gates have been blocked. Where can we escape? Even if we escape to the Later Jin Dynasty, we are just lambs to be slaughtered. We only hope that the officials we support can protect our lives."

Officials from all walks of life who were highly expected by Shanxi merchants were unable to protect themselves at this time. Regardless of civil officials or military generals, as long as they were involved in the Jinyiwei, they were on the blacklist of Jinyiwei and were arrested and brought to justice.

The desperate Fan Yongdou could no longer hold on and fell softly on the chair.

As the sky gradually became dark, the Jinyiwei rushed into the house of the head of the Fan family and killed all the people who dared to resist. Suddenly, the woman in the whole mansion cried and made a fuss, and instantly entered hell. The famous Jinyiwei was not a good person, and she was even more skilled in raiding the family and extermination of the clan.

The same scene was staged throughout Shanxi. The Shanxi merchants involved in smuggling and traiting the country were hit by the destruction and were wiped out on this ancient land. They could only blame them for their own faults. For the sake of profit, they betrayed the country and nation, and how many people from the same clan and tribe were slaughtered because of them.

"Businessmen must have their own bottom line while pursuing interests. Businessmen have nationality."

Looking at the miserable Shanxi Shang people along the road, Yun Yi looked expressionless.
