Chen Hong said with a slightly sarcasm: "Do you have any ghost ideas?"

Zhang Mo said: "In fact, we have already dealt with the witnesses in Northland. We just ran away from Fang Xianhu. That is to say, there is no direct evidence that it is the horse market organized by the supervisor. The supervisor is here. The status of the emperor’s heart, as long as there is no direct evidence, there is still room for maneuver. Then, as long as a few scapegoats are thrown out, and the superintendent will come to the emperor to plead guilty, he will definitely be able to deal with it. At that time, we can plan for a long time. After all, Lu Bing has not yet returned to Beijing, so the testimony and the situation still have a chance to change."

Chen Hong listened and moved in his heart, but still sneered: "Okay, I will believe you again. If you miss this time again, hum, you will be the first scapegoat!"

Zhang Mo bowed his hands, bowed his head and said yes, but his mind turned quickly.

Zhang Mo had frequent activities in Beijing, networking everywhere, waiting for Lu Bing to return to Beijing.

Lu Bing certainly didn't know that Zhang Mo was already waiting in Beijing. Even if he knew, he was not afraid.

At this time, he has entered the Shanxi realm and is heading towards Datong.

He has been paying attention to Zhu Liu's movement. At this time, he is listening to the people sent by Zhu Liu to report on the current situation in Xuanfu.

Lu Bing heard the report from the incoming person and said, "Tell Zhu Liu, don't spread to the capital yet. Regarding the various forces in the capital, whether to leave or stay, leave it to the emperor to make a decision. He only needs to collect enough evidence for the emperor to use. In addition, as for the forces in Xuanfu, Shanxi and other places, all those who participated, wantonly rebels, will kill them, and will never tolerate them. For those who are more cooperative, save their lives and make another decision when the situation is calmer."

The visitor nodded in response, and Lu Bing waved his hand to let him go down first.

At the same time, Li Jin came to see him and brought the latest military sentiment.

After Li Jin saluted, Lu Bing asked him to sit down and say.

Li Jin found a place for the head, and after sitting down, he said: "Information shows that a few days ago, there was indeed a Mongolian army, about several thousand people, which attacked Datong. After burning and looting the surrounding area, it is no longer seen. Traces. On the surface, they are ordinary threshing grass. However, based on the intelligence analysis of the adults, we feel that the little prince should not be upset that the horse market was destroyed, so we sent people to vent their anger and rob some more things by the way."

Lu Bing headed away and said, "It won't be that simple. There are signs that this will not be just a single event."

Li Jin nodded and said, "The lower officials also have this feeling, but now that group of Mongolians are no longer visible. If they are withdrawn to the grassland, they really won't be able to find them."

Lu Bing thought for a while and said, "Expand the scope of the Ranger's investigation and find the clues of this group of Mongolians as soon as possible. I don't think they will just withdraw like this."

Li Jin took the order, and Lu Bing said again: "We must hurry to Datong to prevent the Mongols from coming again. Even if the Mongols really evacuated, we must take down the officials who neglected their duties and give them to the people of Datong. An explanation!"

With this order, the marching speed increased again, and soon he arrived at Datong.

And just when Lu Bing and others entered the Datong Army Town, they got a news that made Lu Bing very angry.

Datong Army Town refuses to enter the Xuanfu army, if the imperial commissioner wants to enter the city, but Xuanfu army must return to Xuanfu.

Lu Bing knows all the tricks inside. At the same time, the military town on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty was so corrupt and frightened.

Jin Yiwei's duty is to "drive the guards directly, patrol and arrest them," and he has the right to patrol the world for the emperor. However, since the establishment of the Dongchang factory, the emperor has placed close eunuchs in charge, and even has the right to monitor Jin Yiwei. Since then, Jin Yiwei's control over the world has become weaker and weaker.

Nowadays, the important town of Nine Frontiers was originally for the emperor, but now it is full of holes. Lu Bing is heartbroken, for Jinyiwei, for the emperor, and for the world!

During the Hongzhi period, in order to defend against the remnants of Mongolia, nine major military towns were successively established along the Great Wall defense line on the northern border. They were Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town.

Daming was a Han Chinese who had taken it back from Yuanmeng. Therefore, he was very wary of Mongolia. In the year of Yongle year, he moved his capital to Beijing in order to guard the country with the emperor.

The Nine Army Towns were established for the emperor's pasture.

Today, the Nine Borders Military Town that was once a mega-shine grassland is like a fake.

The Mongols came to thresh the grass from time to time, but the officers and soldiers of the military town could only shrink into the city, watching the Mongols drive straight in, burning, killing and looting under their noses.

It even appeared that a few Mongols came to looting because of their own selfish desires, and they were scared to the Ming frontier army not to leave the city.

Lu Bing knew what these military town officers and soldiers were thinking.

As long as the military town is not lost, there is no need to report to the court, and the emperor is far away, they can continue to be promoted and make a fortune in silence.

This time, there was an imperial envoy to rush to help. I don't know how many Datong officers and soldiers secretly scolded Lu Bing in their hearts and took care of their business.

Lu Bing was furious, and ordered to line up the gate of Datong Town. After calling Li Jin, he learned that the governor of Datong was named Wang Dayong, and the general soldier was named Peng Yu. There were also guards and generals Huang Zhen, commander Ma Sheng, Yang Lin, etc. general.

Li Jin asked Lu Bing if he was attacking the city. Lu Bing thought for a while, let Li Jin put on a siege posture, then let someone shoot an arrow into the city, ordered Wang Da Yong, and Peng Yan and others to open the door. And ten soldiers with loud voices were selected and shouted below the city: "Anyone who assists in defending the city will be punished as treason. After breaking the city, they will be full of violence."

Lu Bing did not believe that the officers and soldiers of Datong Town really dared to treason.

The soldier on the top of the city was in a panic when he heard the call. After a while, he saw a man showing his head. Li Jin whispered: "This man is Chief Soldier Peng Yan.

Peng Yan stretched his head and looked down the city, shouting, "Is the imperial commissioner below?"

Li Jin glanced at Lu Bing, and seeing that Lu Bing had nothing to say, he replied loudly instead of Lu Bing: "Yes, this is the imperial master Lu! Li Jin, deputy general in the Xuan Mansion!"

Peng Yu turned around and said a few words to no one, and then down a basket tied with hemp rope from the wall, and continued: "Please forgive me, my lord. Please put the identification papers in the basket."

Lu Bing nodded to Xue Yang. Xue Yang took out a yellow cloth bag from the horse and put it in the basket.

When Li Jin saw Lu Bing with an expression on his face, there seemed to be a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The basket was swiftly lifted by the city master.

After coming over for a while, that Peng Yan showed his head again, and said, "I'm sorry for your imperial commissioner! You will let someone go to open the door when you get under your command. However, I also ask the friends of Xuanfu to retreat thirty miles. After all, this is a military town. He didn't receive a notice from the Ministry of War for the transfer of troops, the lower officials did not dare to let the friendly troops of the Xuan Mansion into the city!

Lu Bing sneered and said to Yang Sen beside him: "Knock him down!
