Outside Tongzhou City, Zhu Cixiang and his mighty battalion had quietly arrived for more than a day.

After entering the Gyeonggi area, we kept traveling all night between Weiwuying and the capital and Tongzhou.

As the trigger of this incident, how could Zhu Cixi not know the current situation in the capital? The reason why he has not shown up in the capital for a long time is to give those people a chance.

As the saying goes, if you want to destroy them, you must first make them crazy. For Zhu Cihong, the crazier the dog officials and the gentry and nobles can play, the better, otherwise there will be no excuse to catch them all.

However, after learning that the Eight Imperial Merchants had started acting like monsters again, the smile on Zhu Cixiang's face became even brighter. This time he wanted to make Fan Yongdou and the others unable to stand up forever.

Zhu Cixiang immediately called Manyi:

"Manyi, you lead a thousand cavalrymen of the Longteng Army to Shanxi and urgently send this secret message from me to Datong Commander-in-Chief Yan Xiongying. No one can know the secret message except you and Yan Xiongying himself.

Content, go quickly!”

"According to the order!"

Manyi received the order and immediately entered the Tongzhou camp to mobilize troops.

In the past few days, Chongzhen had heard from Ye Bushou and Zhu Cixiang, who had been coming and going, that the situation in the capital seemed to be bad.

However, he was helpless and had no choice but to rely on the Crown Prince to handle everything.

Originally worried that the capital's troops were insufficient, seeing Zhu Cixiang sending another thousand men to Datong, Chongzhen asked hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, why did you send people to Shanxi again? Are the Mongolian Tatars trying to invade the border again?"

Zhu Cixi looked at his confused father and smiled:

"Jiubian is calm for the time being. Your Majesty sent them to Shanxi to capture the fugitives to prevent the fugitives from taking away the good things of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is in control of everything in the capital. Father, don't worry."

Chongzhen nodded, but still asked with some worry:

"Your Majesty, when will your father return to the palace?"

Zhu Cihong knew what the emperor was worried about, so he patted his father's hand gently and said:

"There is no rush. We will enter the city immediately after dark today. Before that, let Sun Yingyuan lead the Longteng Army to enter the capital in batches to avoid disturbing the situation!"

Chongzhen thought that the ministers were still kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace:

"My father hopes to kill the chief culprit. Too many implicates can easily lead to unrest!"

Zhu Cixiang nodded obediently:

"Everything must be obeyed by my father. If you say to kill the culprit, then kill the culprit!"

Despite what Zhu Cixi said, he had already sentenced those things with human faces and animal hearts to death in his heart.

At this time, Sun Yingyuan came in and reported:

"Your Highness, everything is ready. All soldiers will enter the capital in civilian clothes before dark. Are there any other arrangements?"

Zhu Cixiang looked up at the sky and said:

"No, order the soldiers to take a nap after dinner. We will definitely fight all night tonight!"

"As you command!"

Beijing Bell and Drum Tower Street

"It's incredible. I heard that a large amount of grain transported by water was suddenly sunk by strange winds. There will definitely be a grain shortage in the capital in the next month. Many grain stores have begun to close and wait for price increases. Go and sell some grain for later use..."

The grain transport by water was sunk, and rumors that a grain shortage would soon occur in the capital quickly spread in the streets.

The people were so frightened that they couldn't eat enough. They hurried to nearby grain stores to buy grain, but they found that many grain stores were closed.

Wang Erbai traveled to many places, and this time he and some lucky people finally found a few grain stores that had just opened.

"Thank God, I finally found a grain store..."

They hurriedly went up to inquire about the price of food, only to find that food prices were rising rapidly due to rumors.

The price of newly opened grain stores in front of me has risen to ten taels of silver per stone, but there is not much grain for sale.

There are huge crowds of people outside, all queuing up to buy food...

How could ordinary people afford this price? Wang Er had no choice but to give up buying grain with tears in his eyes and prepare to live temporarily by collecting porridge from the porridge shed.

Suddenly there was a commotion around me, and someone started shouting:

"Food prices have soared, and people can't live. Oh my god, what kind of world is this? Instead of starving to death, I'd rather be a ghost and burn it..."

"No, businesses with no conscience like this can't be burned first. They should be robbed first and then burned..."

People who were planning to leave immediately stopped when they heard that they were going to grab food.

For the first time, Wang Er suddenly felt the desire to grab food. He was just waiting for someone to take action...

Wang Er was not kept waiting for too long, and someone finally started to take action:

"Rob, rob all the grain stores in the capital, and let the rich and poor families starve to death together..."

The first person to take action was immediately followed by a second and third person who rushed into the grain store one after another...

"Get out..."

How can it be so easy to grab food? The few people who had just entered were suddenly chased out by the vicious servants holding machetes in the food store. The person who entered first was almost hacked to death!

"Whizzing……"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd fired several crossbow arrows in succession. The clerk in the grain store was hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. The crowd was instantly in chaos.

"Grab it..."

I don't know who screamed, and the crowd suddenly rushed to the grain store again, and the door was instantly squeezed down...

But not everyone came here for the food. Not long after the crowd rushed into the food store, several torches were suddenly thrown into the food store, and a fire quickly broke out in the store...

This situation happened in many streets. Some grain stores that had been closed for a long time were set on fire. In places where there were no grain stores, people began to smash, smash, loot and burn. The scale of establishment expanded...

Li Ruolian was standing in the crowd dressed as an ordinary person, and not far from them followed a group of Jin Yiwei who were also dressed as ordinary people.

Everyone watched the rioters causing trouble with smiles on their faces.

No need to guess, the crossbow arrow that killed the traitor merchant just now came from Jin Yiwei.

Don't some people want to make things bigger? As long as it's not against the princelings, the Jin Yiwei and the National Protective Army will not interfere!

Seeing that someone wanted to bring trouble to innocent merchants, the Jinyiwei immediately took action. They directed people's anger to the shops of some profiteers and the eight major imperial merchants.

Nowadays, there are more and more innocent people who don’t know who is good and who is bad. When they see someone taking the lead, they immediately follow suit and cause trouble.

As a result, it was the shops owned by profiteers and corrupt officials that suffered the most injuries!

As time passed and the sky gradually darkened, some green men with weapons in their hands began to appear on the street.

They wielded their knives and chopped down unarmed people, and chaos broke out in the streets again.

Huang Degong was sitting in front of the window of a room on the third floor of the Military War Bureau, holding a telescope in his hand and carefully observing the situation outside.

In his heart, he still didn't believe that anyone dared to start a war.

Suddenly he slowly put down the telescope, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth:

"Mummy Mao, you are really deadly, I will make sure you come back today!"

It turned out that on the road leading to the gate of the Military War Bureau, a group of masked men in black came galloping towards them. It looked like there were at least two hundred people in total.

About fifty steps in front of the gate of the Bingzhan Bureau, these men in black drew their swords and jumped off their horses, and then slowly moved toward the gate and the courtyard wall.

Seeing that the door of the military battle station was closed tightly and there was no one around, the leader in black whispered:

"No, please pay attention, why can't you even see a guard in such an important place?" I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the Prince Supervisor.
