Chapter 341: Asking for Guilt
Wang Chengyin always felt that he was uneasy, the eunuch leader was smiling from beginning to end, which seemed to be much gentler than the cold face at the beginning, but it made people feel very uncomfortable with a knife hidden in their smile.
And what made him even more incomprehensible was that Chang Yusuo led his troops refused to go to the military camp to station, but chose to go to the post station.
The post stations in the border towns are relatively large and well-equipped, such as the Xuanfu with hundreds of rooms, but the thousands of people still seem crowded.
In addition, after arriving at the governor's yamen, Chang Yu refused to accompany the guests on the grounds of long-distance fatigue, and only invited him and Zhu Zhifeng to sit at the table, and the attendants were all outside the yamen.
But Chang Yu himself brought a lot of accompanying guests, Wu Mengming and Tang Potian, the head of the military guard, Cheng Ming, the leader of Teng Xiangwei, as well as Li Tiezhu and Fan Jiaqian, and arranged more than 30 Jinyi guards outside the lobby to be responsible for guarding.
This kind of scene couldn't help but make Wang Chengyin, who had always been restless, panic, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any handle for the other party to catch, maybe he was thinking too much.
Zhu Zhifeng's slightly prepared wine is obviously humble, and there is no better hospitality for Chang Yu and others who have traveled a long distance.
Chang Yu doesn't like wine, and he doesn't get a drop of wine, even if Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng persuade each other repeatedly, he only replaces wine with tea, but Wu Mengming and Tang Potian and others like the things in this cup, push the cup and hand it over, and drink it very happily.
The battle in Taiyuan during the banquet is naturally the theme again, whether it is Wang Chengyin or Zhu Zhifeng, the topic of the two always revolves around this, after all, there is nothing else to say.
Chang Yu focused on eating, always talking less, more chattering Wu Mengming and Tang Potian were talking with relish, and Zhu Wang and the others also listened very attentively, sometimes stroking their palms, sometimes sighing, sometimes surprised, and did not forget to pat Chang Yu's ass, of course, the two of them were also shocked in their hearts, and they didn't expect that the little eunuch in front of them had the power to turn the tide.
After three rounds of drinking, Chang Yu was full of water and food, and the rest of the people were also red-faced, drunk, and even spoke inarticulately, shaking their heads.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that you have a very close relationship with Jiang Jiu, but is it a fact?" Chang Yu took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and suddenly said something that seemed to be breezy and calm.
But Wang Chengyin, who was already eight points drunk, suddenly shook his spirit: "Don't listen to rumors, my lord, I only nodded to Jiang Jiu, and I didn't have a secret relationship."
It's no wonder that Wang Chengyin is panicked, the case of Jiang Hao's murder has long been famous in the government and the opposition, and all kinds of rumors have spread around, and there are different opinions.
Some people say that Jiang Hao plotted to rebel and assassinate the emperor's envoy, and some say that he was framed by the envoy, was killed in a trap, etc., but no matter what kind of rumor it is, Wang Chengyin doesn't want to get involved with this matter now, this person.
He didn't understand why Chang Yu asked this, but since he asked this as the head of the East Factory, it would be absolutely no good thing!
"Really?" Chang Yu smiled faintly, and then looked at Wang Chengyin: "Does General Bing Wang know why Jiang Jiu was killed?" ”
"This, this, this lowly position really doesn't know, but I heard that it was a plot to assassinate the adult?" Wang Chengyin threw out a gossip face.
Chang Yu smiled: "It's not a conspiracy, but it's already done, he attacked Ben Du twice and three times, and Ben Du had to kill him, but this is not the absolute reason for Ben Du to kill him" Speaking of this, his face has become cold.
Wang Chengyin couldn't help but be excited: "Then, why is that?" ”
"Collaborating with the enemy, plotting to defeat the thief," Chang Yu said slowly, word by word.
Yes! Wang Chengyin was shocked: "This is impossible"
Ordinary people think it's impossible, after all, when Chang Yu killed Jiang Jiu, the thief was still in Pingyang Mansion, nearly a thousand miles away, and there was still the big city of Taiyuan in the middle, he didn't need to be the general soldier of the imperial court, and he went to the thief, and it was not that the soldiers had already come to the city, and it was still possible to be cornered.
Chang Yu naturally knew that this reason was unconvincing and unconvincing, so if he wanted to kill Jiang Jiu, he could only deliberately force him to kill him, force him to do it, and finally kill him on the grounds of assassinating the emperor's envoy.
But why did he say this to Wang Chengyin at this time, it was naturally a temptation.
Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Dongchang's case is well-founded, if it weren't for this, how could the dignified general soldier be killed by our family, that is, because Jiang Hao learned that the governor had the evidence of his collaboratorship with the enemy, he had the intention of killing, otherwise the governor had just arrived in Datong at that time, and he had no grievances and no enmity, why would he assassinate me!" ”
So it was, Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng suddenly realized that they didn't expect Jiang Huang's case to have such an inside story, but why did he want to say it to himself, such secrets are not enough for outsiders.
Chang Yu quickly told him the answer: "The Governor is actually very curious, if the Governor has the evidence of the Commander-in-Chief's collaboration with the enemy, will the Governor be killed by the Governor?" ”
"Ahh My lord is aware that there is no suspicion of collaborating with the enemy! Wang Chengyin couldn't keep calm anymore, staggered up from the general seat, and knelt directly in front of Chang Yu: "My lord, my humble duty is wronged!" ”
"Whether you are wronged or not, you have to wait until this inspector has to know, you can't be reported by others, and this governor won't accept it!" Chang Yu chuckled and took a sip from the teacup.
"Who is it? Who is it who is spewing blood and falsely accusing me" Wang Chengyin was shocked and frightened and more angry, and he immediately thought of Zhu Zhifeng.
"Jiang Huang, before Jiang Huang was killed, he wanted to make meritorious service and expose that you also colluded with the thief army, but the war in Taiyuan was urgent, and the governor had no time to go with you, so I returned to Beijing today to find out, whether it was true or false!"
"My lord is clear, my humble duty is innocent and there is no suspicion of being a thief, Jiang Hao's dog thief actually framed me, and my humble position is only a few sides of him, even if the thief knows about it, my lord is clear! This is Jiang Hao's vicious dog biting people! "Wang Chengyin is going crazy, it turns out that it is not Zhu Zhifeng, but Jiang Jiu, who has never seen it a few times.
"Lord Factory Supervisor, is there any misunderstanding in this, the subordinate feels that Wang Zongbing is not like this kind of person, and he can't convict Wang Zongbing based on Jiang Jiu's words" Zhu Zhifeng also quickly got up and said.
Previously, when Chang Yu first arrived in Xuanfu, he had secretly discussed Wang Chengyin's affairs with him, and told him to keep an eye on Wang Chengyin secretly, and if he was at a critical juncture, such as when Datong was lost, he could kill Wang Chengyin immediately.
Zhu Zhifeng still trusts Chang Yu, and he has indeed been secretly watching Wang Chengyin during this time, but he has found nothing, in fact, he also wonders how Wang Chengyin can collaborate with the enemy, just like how Jiang Jiu can collaborate with the enemy.
Take people to have evidence, if you take people on the basis of one-sided words, then he will not agree, as a civil official, he has always been dissatisfied with the style of Dongchang, although he has a slight impression of Chang Yu, but the righteousness is not caring about that personal relationship at present.
Wang Chengyin naturally did not collaborate with the enemy, at least not now, but Chang Yu did not have a trace of evidence in his hands, because the trend and pattern of history have changed, and some things cannot happen again.
If it doesn't happen, it doesn't mean that Chang Yu can forgive these people, let alone let these people go, but it is difficult to convince the public without evidence, and he will be infamous for himself in the government and the opposition, and it is even possible that Chongzhen can't withstand the pressure and wants to pull him out and cut a few times to calm the anger of the public.
And he really doesn't want to weave charges at will and frame him wantonly, but he has no choice but to do it, is it difficult to let Wang Chengyin go? He's actually very tangled in his heart.
"This governor is not the kind of person who only listens to one side of the story, not to mention that Jiang Jiu is dead without proof, and our family has not confirmed that the general soldier of the king is guilty of collaborating with the enemy, otherwise how can he drink here and have already been imprisoned!" Chang Yu said expressionlessly.
As soon as they heard this, Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord is clear"
"However, since Jiang Hao said so, I am afraid that it may not be groundless, this governor will perform the duties of the East Factory, share the worries for the Son of Heaven, and the matter of collaborating with the enemy is not trivial, so it is natural to strictly investigate to the end, and temporarily wronged General Soldier Wang for a period of time, but the truth will naturally return General Soldier Wang to a clean slate."
"Adult" Wang Chengyin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly felt his throat again.
"General soldier Wang and rest assured, the governor will not bend into a trick, let alone plant blame, it is just a routine review, come here, take General Soldier Wang to the post station, no one will approach!"
