Chapter Eighty-Five: The Three Clans
Wang Huazhen was in Guangning, and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he received the news that Jingshi had arrested him and returned to ask him for his guilt.
At this time, he was in the car and was following a team of horsemen into Shanhaiguan.
It was dusk, Wang Huazhen looked at the direction of Guangning, saw the twilight, and heard the wailing of the wild geese, and the iron hooves of the Liao land echoed in his ears.
After a while, he turned to look at the Son of Heaven's Jingshi, and a dark dark cloud swept in front of him, and he felt that there were bursts of thunder, just like his situation at this time.
Now he has seen everything clearly, but he has relaxed.
Since the Wanli period, Liao affairs have been worse than Qing and Fu, then worse than Liao and Shen, and three bad than Guangning.
One bad is a crisis, the second bad is a defeat, and no matter how bad it is, it will become an endgame.
Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi made the right choice between Guangning and Shenyang through Liaoning, and tried his best to ensure that Liaoyang was not lost.
In the rear, Mao Wenlong was deeply favored by the emperor, and led the Dongjiang army to ride out of the island, captive the fifth son of the slave chieftain, and recover Yizhou.
This did not let the current Liao affair defeat become an uncontrollable endgame.
Wang Huazhen is both happy and regretful.
Fortunately, what he did did did not cause the greatest damage, but regretted that he insisted on going his own way, causing the overthrow of more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Quang Ninh.
Liu Qu, Luo consistently... These loyal and brave men died in battle because of his orders, and he knew that he could not escape the blame for this crime.
With such a heavy but relaxed mood, Wang Huazhen slowly entered Shanhaiguan with the dim sunlight of dusk.
......
At first, Zhang Heming, the former secretary of the military department, was imprisoned in the criminal department.
However, the criminal department interrogated for several days, but had no clue, and its intention was to cover up Zhang's crime.
So, Wei Zhongxian went to the Qianqing Palace, fanned the flames in front of the emperor, bewitched the public, and finally changed the person to Dongchangmen.
As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were boiling.
Dongchang, independent of the three law divisions, is not bound by laws and systems, only respects the emperor's orders, and its prison is located north of Donghua Gate.
Compared with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, which accept criminal cases all over the world, this place is more creepy, and the means of interrogation here are used to the extreme.
Sun Juxiang, the squire of the military department, Feng Xian and others of the imperial history, as well as countless prisoners and scholars, none of them who entered the Dongchang prison could come out alive.
Zhang Heming was taken to the prison by Fanzi in despair, and on the way, he saw a blood-colored human figure printed on the stone steps in the courtyard.
According to legend, this was left behind after being tortured by Fanzi when Sun Juxiang, a soldier of the military department, tried his best to resist when he was arrested and imprisoned.
Seeing this, Zhang Heming's legs were even weaker, and he was sandwiched by Fanzi one left and one right.
"You know what a crime you have committed!"
The person who questioned was Wei Zhongxian's nephew Fu Yingxing, who is now one of the three major stalls in Dongchang, known for his ferocity and viciousness, and is in charge of torture.
Facing Fanzi's fierce spirit, Zhang Heming reacted at this time.
If he wants to be innocent, he has to be stubborn to the end.
Once you don't hold up the move, not only will you be connected to the Donglin sages who were good friends with you in the past, but you will also be implicated in your family.
I saw that as soon as he changed his frightened expression, he knelt down hastily, stood up, and replied: "I am the secretary of the military department, what crime can I have!" ”
Fu Yingxing took out the horsewhip and kept trying in his hand, making a snap, snapping sound, and then sneered:
"Er, who is in charge of the military department, did not get the emperor's order, formed a party with Wang Huazhen for personal gain, attacked without authorization, and now lost the land and trapped the city, and the merits and crimes are investigated together, and it is difficult to shirk his responsibility."
"Now that I have entered the East Factory, right and wrong will be clear!"
Fu Yingxing understood in his heart that Zhang Heming wanted to die rather than give in.
However, so many people have been interrogated in the Dongchang prison, how can there be a few who have this idea? There is a way for them to recruit!
No matter how bad it is, it is still okay to torture and draw to death with one hand.
The reason for the interrogation was because he wanted to have a good time with this second-grade Shangshu who was majestic in the past.
Looking at a person who pretended to be hard, gradually trembling and becoming desperate under his feet, Fu Yingxing liked the pleasure of this pervert the most.
Thinking of this, he licked his lips excitedly.
Zhang Heming still had a hard mouth: "Then Wang Huazhen is to blame for himself, and he insists on going his own way, what does it have to do with me!" ”
Fu Yingxing was furious: "Er is the secretary of the military department, this is not what talent you have, this is the emperor's sage." ”
"It's only been a few months, the defeat of the Sancha River and the fall of Xiping Fort are all caused by your connivance with that Wang Huazhen!"
"I feel heartache for General Luo who guarded Xiping Fort, and I also feel heartache for Liu Zheng and Liu Shizhang in the Battle of Shaling, why did they die at the hands of mediocre talents like you?"
As he spoke, Fu Yingxing sneered a few times, whipped it over, and said:
"Zhang Heming, you don't know anything about the military."
"Since he took office in the Ministry of War, he has never come up with a strategy to settle the frontier, and he has deliberately sowed trouble by dividing his troops, conspiring with tigers, and betraying the country."
At this point, you shirked your responsibilities and let the king become a scapegoat. has entered the East Factory, what is the meaning of distinguishing strong words? ”
"This is not a criminal department, a crime is a crime."
Hearing this, Zhang Heming's heartbeat stagnated, and an ominous feeling suddenly appeared, and he subconsciously asked:
"What traitor?"
"Hahaha-"
Fu Yingxing stared at him like a ghost for a while, and suddenly laughed a few times, but he didn't say it explicitly.
"You are in the court, you have never led the troops, but you have to meddle in the military affairs, and you have done this book, but it is as you want?"
"Er's father, Er's brother, and Er's daughter, all of them are going to die in this disaster, and the three clans will be cut off as one, can you believe it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Heming suddenly understood, and opened his mouth to shout:
"You—You're going to defile me!?"
"Understand people."
"This is not to defile you, I said that you are a captive, and you are a captive." Fu Yingxing laughed a few times again and said arbitrarily:
"Today, I will no longer torture you, but I just want you to understand the fate of offending the factory and the saint."
After speaking, Fu Yingxing looked at Zhang Heming, whose eyes gradually changed from calm to despair, laughed wildly, and said loudly:
"Give me a good life, I want him to live to see how the three clans were killed by my Dongchang."
After that, Fu Yingxing left a sinister smile and disappeared into the prison.
......
"Bang!"
The next day, Zhang's house.
A group of fans blatantly kicked open the door, led by a stall leader, holding a piece of holy decree, and said:
"Zhang Minghe, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, formed a party for personal gain, captured and trapped the land, causing the overthrow of more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodi, and the lives of people were ruined, and the crime was extremely evil!"
"Kill the three clans in the East Factory, confiscate all the family property, and fill it into the internal money!"
After the words fell, the fans rushed into Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Minghe's father, brothers, sons, and daughters, all of whom were caught up in the ninety-nine and down to the first time they could go, were all taken out and carried to the big platform set up at the entrance of the vegetable market, and their heads were cut off one by one.
All of a sudden, the blood was scattered, and the people vied with each other to applaud.
It is said that Zhang Minghe humiliated the country in mourning, brutalized more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Guangning, and killed people's hearts.
......
Beizhen Fusi, a brocade guard hundred households ran back.
"Commander, Dongchang has already started the execution, and in half an hour's effort, more than 100 heads have been cut off!"
The matter of the three clans outside was very noisy, and the people rushed to watch, but in the Fusi of Beizhen, a group of brocade guards had sad faces and were very uncomfortable.
When Liu Qiao heard this, he frowned and said, "No, if it goes on like this, there will be no place for my Jinyiwei." ”
Xu Xianchun, who had just returned from the Supervision Division, turned ruthless when he heard this, and said, "Wang Huazhen was brought back by our people from the Fusi of Beizhen on the way back to Beijing. ”
"Dongchang has already dealt with Zhang Heming, and Wang Huazhen can't give them anymore."
"Commander, you want to enter the palace to see the emperor, leave Wang Huazhen in Beizhen Fusi, interrogation, execution, let us come!"
"Otherwise, those fans of Dongchang will jump on our heads sooner or later!"
