The Great Compassion Case is the first of the three Nandu cases, and many people have studied this major case in later generations, and it is basically concluded that it is an accidental event, which is nothing more than a liar who wants to take advantage of the turmoil in the imperial court to make some benefits.

When the Great Compassion Incident occurred, Ruan Dacheng originally wanted to use this incident to kill the Donglin Party, but Ma Shiying retreated in the final stage. The reason is very simple, Ma Shiying knows that now is not the time, the main cadres of the Donglin Party in the DPRK, Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu and others have already made their posts, but the Donglin Party still has a huge influence in the DPRK, and now it is not the time to eradicate the Donglin Party at all.

Therefore, Ma Shiying thought about it before deciding to let the Donglin Party go, and at the same time wrote to the emperor to prepare to close the case. On December 25, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the monk of Great Compassion was beheaded, which was also regarded as temporarily calming the turmoil in the imperial court.

But Ma Shiying thought about this matter too simply, and also thought too high about the moral level of the Donglin Party's-stirring sticks. Ma Shiyingman thought that he had suppressed Ruan Dacheng and had already shown favor to the Donglin Party, so that he could make up for the rift between the two factions in the imperial court. But Ma Shiying forgot that the political struggle is your life and death, and you exempted the Donglin Party from the capital crime, thinking that it was a show of favor to the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party didn't think so.

Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, Qi Biaojia, the governor of Jiangnan, Xie Xuelong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and other Donglin party members, after the Great Compassion case, have found that there is no possibility of easing with the eunuch party. What if there is another case?

Therefore, after everyone's discussion, it was decided not to endure the eunuchs, and decided to launch a fatal blow and contact the foreign feudal forces to come to the side of the Qingjun in Nanjing. Didn't you Ma Shiying collude with the four towns of Jiangbei? Do you really think we don't have anyone anymore? Don't forget that our Donglin Party also has the strongest foreign aid, that is, Zuo Liangyu.

After Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Li Zicheng in Henan in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he took the remnants of the defeated army to entrench in the area of Wuchang, Huguang, and after grasping the strong Ding to develop his strength, now Zuo Liangyu has an army of 800,000, known as one million to the outside world.

This huge armed force is entrenched in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, always threatening Ma Shiying in Nanjing, and now the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have reached the point of not dying, so the Donglin people decided to use this decisive force.

The people of Donglin discussed and discussed, and the candidate who went to contact Zuo Liangyu was finally determined to be Hou Fangyu. Hou Fangyu's old son, Hou Sui, was Zuo Liangyu's benevolent father, and it was best for Hou Fangyu to come forward in this matter. But now Hou Fangyu took refuge in Yangzhou because he offended Ruan Dacheng, and went to seek refuge in Shi Kefa, and was not in Nanjing, so Liu Zongzhou wrote a letter and asked Hou Fangyu to go to Wuchang to negotiate with Zuo Liangyu.

The political situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, but Ma Cheng, who was so busy hitting the back of the head, did not know that on the day of the opening of the class at Beijing Normal University, Lu Siye of the Military Intelligence Department came to find him, and Zuo Maodi's family was about to be sent to Beijing.

After discussing the matter of death with Ma Shiying at that time, Ma Cheng handed over the matter of planting spies and cultivating messengers to Lu Siye.

Now because of Hongguang's new establishment, Dongchang has been abolished by the emperor's decree, and even the authority of Jinyiwei has been greatly reduced. Therefore, Lu Siye has money and resources, and with the help of his uncle Lu Jiude, who was born in Dongchang, he quickly set up a preliminary intelligence network, although he can't send any important information to Ma Cheng, but Ma Cheng can still grasp every move of the Manchu army in Beijing.

Ma Cheng heard Lu Siye say that today, Zuo Maodi's family members of six people were going to board the boat from Shuiguan Wharf and escort them to Beijing, Ma Cheng thought about it and decided to go and have a look.

Zuo Maodi is an honest official, although he is not like Hai Rui who can't eat, but he doesn't have a few family members at home. This time, the imperial court took Zuo Maodi's family members, in addition to the main wife Xue, two minor sons, an adult daughter, and the concubine Zhang, and an old housekeeper who had followed Zuo Maodi for many years to go north together.

Zuo Maodi's wife, Xue, was born in the Xue family in Shandong, and the Xue family absolutely did not believe that her husband could surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, so she scolded Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng for misleading the country during the trial of the Three Law Divisions, so that Li Zhan, the right capital of the court, who was trying the case, could not come to the stage.

According to Li Zhan's idea, this kind of fierce woman might as well be executed directly, and her son was sold as a slave to her daughter in the army, but Xie Xuelong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was a member of the Donglin Party. In addition, there is no exact news about how Zuo Maodi is in Nanjing, but he just listened to Chen Hongfan's words, so Xie Xuelong advocated that Xue should be put back and placed under residential surveillance at home.

Ma Shiying and Ma Cheng had already settled Zuo Maodi's family, so Ma Shiying ordered Zuo Maodi's family to be sent to Beijing after learning of the outcome of the trial. Ruan Dacheng didn't understand why Ma Shiying did this, and Ma Shiying was ruthless to the Donglin Party these times, which made Ruan Dacheng very dissatisfied.

However, Ma Shiying is the first assistant after all, although Ruan Dacheng is not satisfied, he has no choice, so he has to acquiesce to Ma Shiying's disposal of Zuo Maodi's family. However, Ruan Dacheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after learning that Xie Xuelong wanted to let Zuo Maodi's family go, he immediately wrote to the emperor that Xie Xuelong was shielding the officials in the Shun case, and the case was not resolved for a long time. With Ruan Dacheng's false accusation, the emperor quickly issued an order to demote Xie Xuelong to the people, which can be regarded as a bad breath for Ruan Dacheng.

Ma Cheng didn't know that there were so many big things in the court for Zuo Maodi's family, so he came to Jinchuanmen Shuiguan Wharf, where Zuo Maodi's family was preparing to board the boat and escort him to Beijing. Sissy

Zuo Maodi belonged to the founder of the Restoration Society, so his family members committed an accident, and many people in the Restoration Society came to see him off, and these people, led by Xia Yunyi, wept when they saw Zuo Maodi's family members wearing criminal clothes and shackles.

Xia Yunyi said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, we have the trust of Zhong Zhong and my brother, and we didn't take care of his family, it's a capital crime!" ”

Xue is a strong woman, hearing Xia Yunyi say this, she laughed and said: "Uncle, don't blame yourself, the life we can save is already very good!" The concubine went to the northern capital this time to see, my lord is really as unbearable as the traitor said? Can you really take refuge in the North? Please rest assured, uncles, if my lord really takes refuge in the north, the concubine will definitely repay the Ming with death! But if my lord did not take refuge in the Beiyu, please avenge us uncles, and we must not let go of Ma Shiying and other traitors! ”

Ma Cheng was very dissatisfied when he heard Xue's words behind the crowd, you old lady really don't know good people's hearts, if it wasn't for my father to save you, Xue, you have been beheaded now, where can you still scold my father here?

"Hmph, without my father, can your family still go north and make peace with Zuo Maodi? Aren't there a few people on Huangquan Road? ”

As soon as Ma Cheng's words came out, he was immediately discovered by the people around him, and it turned out that the son of the traitorous minister Ma Shiying also came.

Others didn't dare to say anything about Ma Shiying's obscenity, but the hard-boiled Xia Yunyi didn't care about it. Xia Yunyi stood in front of Ma Cheng separately and scolded: "Ma Cheng, Xia originally thought that Ma Luan, you and Ma Shiying were different, but now it seems that the three of you father and son are all the same dogs. ”

After Xia Yunyi finished speaking, he opened his robe, tore off one of the inner linings and fell to the ground, which can be regarded as a formal break with the Ma Cheng brothers. Other Ma Luan's friends, such as Xu Fuyuan and others, also followed suit, tearing off a section of their robes to represent a formal break with Ma Luan and Ma Cheng.

The people of the Restoration Society have said that they have cut off Ma Cheng and Ma Luan, but now Ma Cheng has no time to deal with these stinky old men, and he is now attracted by a little beauty among the prisoners.

This little beauty stood behind Xue's family, twenty-eight years old, with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, curved eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a red cherry mouth under the towering Qiong nose, the most important thing is that this little beauty is wearing prison clothes, shackles, and tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ma Cheng was originally a hungry ghost in color, but now he can't take a step when he sees a beautiful woman in front of him. Ma Cheng ignored Xia Yunyi, who scolded him, and stepped forward with a lewd smile: "This little beauty, but is the son-in-law of Zuo Shilang?" Can you promise your in-laws? ”

Now the docks are indignantly scolding Ma Shiying and Ma Cheng's father and son, and now Ma Cheng is openly molesting Zuo Maodi's daughter, which is like boiling hot oil, and the literati of the Fushe led by Xia Yunyi opened their mouths to scold Ma Cheng.

This woman is Zuo Maodi's daughter Zuo Shuying, Miss Zuo just turned 16 years old this year, which is the same age as a flower, but she was imprisoned because of her father's involvement. Prisons in previous dynasties were not good places to go, and Miss Zuo suffered a lot in prison, so she was naturally frightened and panicked. Now seeing a young man talking to himself, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his mother Xue.

Zuo Maodi's wife Xue Shi saw that Ma Cheng wanted to have bad intentions towards his daughter, so she stood in front of her and scolded: "Traitor, what do you want to do to my daughter? ”

Zuo Maodi's wife is also good-looking, although she is in her forties, she still has some appearance. Ma Cheng liked this kind of half-aged the most in his previous life, but in this era, big girls are everywhere, who still wants to play with old women?

Ma Cheng looked Xue up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zuo Maodi's wife to be good, otherwise, your mother and daughter will serve the governor together, and the governor will go to his father to intercede and pardon your family!" ”

Ma Cheng's Lao Tzu wronged Zuo Maodi, and Ma Cheng now wants to play mother and daughter double flying, which can anger the Fushe people present. Several young and vigorous scolded: "Ma Cheng, you shameless villain, look at this son to eliminate harm for the people today!" After speaking, he waved his fist and embroidered his legs, and he was about to step forward and beat Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng didn't come by himself this time, he brought a hundred armor guards with him, and Gu Yong, who was led by a hundred households, saw that this group of stinky old nine was going to make a move, so he hurriedly led someone to step forward and beat these guys fat. These young men were the opponents of their own soldiers, and they were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces.

Everyone is a smart person, and just now he was just acting for Zuo Maodi's family, but now that people really do it, they can't afford to lose their lives, so many people have scattered and fled when they see that things are not good.
