Ni Yuanlu glanced at Chen Xinjia, who had always been a good gentleman, and didn't know why he was so supportive of Yang Hongzhang today, so he smiled and said: "It is actually necessary for the imperial court to send envoys to investigate, because General Yang said in the recital that Tianjin Weixin has increased by more than 15,000 people, and there is a shortage of food and epidemic prevention materials, so it must be relieved by the imperial court. It's Baoding Mansion, we have a Qincha there, but now there is no good news, the imperial court has issued an order to ask, whether some people should focus on doing things instead of thinking about others all day long. More importantly, if what Yang Hongzhang said is true, the minister suspects that this person took refuge in Jiannu when he was in Gaoyang, which is a way to clean up the entire people of Gyeonggi!

Such a person can still soar all the way in my Ming court, I don't know which adult's protégé of the court is this, so unscrupulous and bold to harm my Ming Dynasty can still shamelessly frame my Ming heroes again and again, it really makes the minister feel extremely panicked! This person does not get rid of Gyeonggi and has endless disasters, and this person's background does not remove the court and is not clean! Emperor. ”

Yang Sichang's face turned from red to blue and from green to white when he heard it on the side, obviously angry, Ni Yuanlu did not name him, but this was clearly talking about him Yang Sichang and Wang Lenian. But now Yang Sichang is also a little complaining about Wang Lenian, when Wang Lenian directly asked to go to Baoding in the court, he didn't discuss it with him in advance.

Although he had mentioned him before leaving, Wang Lenian's work was still so unreliable, if he wanted to frame Yang Hongzhang, he only needed to gather some refugees infected with the plague, why gather so many people, now Yang Hongzhang has the credit of relieving 15,000 people, even if he kills a few people, the court will not pursue it, at most the official reputation is not good. As long as the emperor trusts, what do you want the official voice to do?

"The minister thought that he should send officials from the Criminal Department to Tianjin Wei to help General Yang investigate the matter of spies. As Ni and Chen said, if what General Yang said is true, it is very likely that the spy buried in my Ming Dynasty Jinggi was left by Jiannu at the beginning. Seeing that the emperor, Ni Yuanlu and Chen Xinjia were all biased towards Yang Hongzhang, and Liu Yuliang had also cooperated in the matter of tax rate reform, so he did not choose to stand in the middle, but decisively made up the knife, directly defined the spy matter, and prepared to send officials from the Criminal Department to investigate. This can be regarded as the attitude of the Criminal Department, originally the official had a problem, it was Jinyiwei who came out, and if it didn't work, it was after the evidence was conclusive.

"If that's the case, then send two Jinyi guards to Baoding and Tianjin respectively to investigate, and the people from the Criminal Department can cooperate with Jinyiwei to go to Tianjin Wei to investigate the matter of the spies."

Yang Sichang was directly dumbfounded when he heard it below, and many of the imperial histories who impeached Yang Hongzhang a few days ago were also dumbfounded, how could he say that he was characterizing Yang Hongzhang as arresting the spy?

So Tianjin Wei soon ushered in a huge investigation team, of course, there was also a team escorting disaster relief materials, including Jinyiwei and the Criminal Department, a total of more than 30 people. The leader of the team is still the big eunuch Gao Keng.

After being tested and disinfected by the pickets, the team stayed at the city gate for nearly an hour before the investigators were allowed to enter the city. Many investigators naturally remembered the words of Ni Yuanlu and Chen Xinjia in their hearts, Tianjin was so well guarded, how did Wang Lenian get the news, and it was also the news of the killing.

In fact, this kind of investigation is not effortless at all, and those who are isolated in the prison are ordinary ruffians and hooligans, and they all fall to their knees in fear as soon as they hear the name of Jinyiwei.

Gao Keng pretended to be brave enough to inspect the two refugee camps on behalf of the imperial court. Obviously, the refugees Gao Keng saw were much happier than those who were displaced outside Gaoyang City.

The people who investigated the two roads soon returned to the capital, which was originally a matter of someone making trouble, but it is not difficult to investigate, the key is that there are 20,000 people in the Tianjin Acropolis and 15,000 people outside the city, so they are all alive and well. The population of Baoding, the thousand-year-old state capital, is no longer as large as that of Tianjin Acropolis.

As for the results of the investigation, when the emperor decided to let Gao Keng lead the team to Tianjin, everyone's investigation report was written in their hearts.

The people who went to Baoding also brought back the prefect of Baoding. I implore the imperial court to transfer Yang Hongzhang and his subordinates to support Baoding! This is undoubtedly a clear support for Yang Hongzhang.

Soon, Jin Yiwei went to Baoding again to escort Wang Lenian back to Beijing.

Wang Lenian behaved like a different person in Jinyiwei's cell, first of all, he kept chattering and complaining about the court and Sun Chengzong, so that he would not be reused for so many years in the little Gaoyang.

Regarding the matter between Gaoyang and Hejian, Wang Lenian's answer is even more confusing.

"I am innocent, I was ordered to hand over Jiannu, in order to leave a way back for the imperial court, so that in case Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and there were no more troops available in Gyeonggi, peace talks could be quickly initiated to save the capital from war. Peace talks, you know? Yes, everyone dared not face the problem, but when the soldiers were strong, someone had to do it.

But if there is no Yang Hongzhang, does the imperial court want to negotiate with Jiannu, does it need someone like me? It's just because of Yang Hongzhang's birth, so I don't need it anymore, it's not that I'm wrong, I am acting on orders, do you know?

It's a pity that I'm unlucky, Yang Hongzhang won, Jiannu is gone, and I don't need it anymore. Do you know, when I refused Yang Hongzhang to enter the city, how did I know that this guy captured Haoge, he was so despicable, and Haoge didn't tell me after capturing him, and he didn't want to share the credit with me, do you say he is despicable?

Yang Hongzhang and I are actually not wrong, but his luck is too good, do you know, if he Yang Hongzhang did not capture Haoge, and did not succeed in the sneak attack on Hejian later, then he was the one who died, and it was he Yang Hongzhang who robbed his family and exterminated the clan. Luck, he was just lucky, Yue Tuo actually sent Groha's rice bucket to guard the river, and there were less than a thousand people!

Xiang Siwen asked that incompetent person, just by licking Yang Hongzhang's ass, he was able to transform from a lost dog to a heavy minister who stuck to the city, and now he has become the national abbot, haha, it's ridiculous, that timid guy, no wonder Yang Xiang looks down on him.

If Yang Hongzhang gives me the credit for captive Haoge and Yue Tuo, I can also rise to the top, at least I am also a positive third product, if I can become the prefect of Baoding, I will definitely do better than Yang Hongzhang!

It was Yang Hongzhang who made me a minister who was relied on by the imperial court and a messenger of peace talks! Originally, I, Wang Lenian, could also become a figure like Kou Zhun, but it was he who made me lose the trust of the people of Gaoyang and the trust of the imperial court, it was him Yang Hongzhang! He was the one who snatched everything that belonged to me!

So I am inseparable from him Yang Hongzhang, I Wang Lenian has studied hard for ten years, he Yang Hongzhang is just a showman, and he has become the prefect of Tianjin at the age of twenty. How partiality the emperor is, how unfair the court is!

I don't want to go to Tianjin, and I can't go to Tianjin, not only because of Yang Hongzhang, but also because of his subordinates, 1,000 of his 3,000 people are from Gaoyang, those people will never let me go, Yang Hongzhang is very arrogant to them, if Yang Hongzhang hints a little more, I have to die somewhere, so I can't go, even if I want to go, I have to be a prefect, not a spectator, then I will die quickly.

That's right, it's me, I'm familiar with Yang Hongzhang's style of doing things, and I'm also familiar with his training methods, so I let people mix in the refugees and keep teaching those refugees to shout slogans, but I can't go in person, and those people don't have much time to train, so I can't let the refugees succeed in impacting Tianjin Wei, which is my regret.

And judging from the results, it was I who saved those refugees, if I hadn't sent someone to summon them to Tianjin Wei and stay in Baoding, how could so many people survive, it would be good to survive one class, why did the emperor and the court only remember Yang Hongzhang's credit?

I just want Yang Hongzhang to not be able to step down, let his epidemic prevention regulations be finished, and get down from the position of Tianjin prefect as soon as possible. As long as I step down, I will take good care of Tianjin according to his regulations, and I will definitely not do worse than him, I will definitely not.

I was forced, I was forced by them, I had to win, I had to win!

I want to see Yang Xiang, I want to see the emperor, they will correct my name, I am innocent, I was forced! ”

Wang Lenian looked like crazy, but the words he said were more frightening than the others, so frightened that the Jinyi guards who interrogated him didn't dare to listen. There used to be rumors about the imperial court secretly suing for peace while organizing forces to resist the Qing army.

It's just that this is a taboo in the Ming Dynasty, maybe the emperor's chosen ambassador for peace talks is Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang did fall in love with Wang Lenian of Gaoyang.

But where did Jinyiwei dare to record this, you must know that Yang Hongzhang's victory later made Dolgon change his plan to besiege the capital.

Immediately after Hu Dawei was killed in battle and Lu Xiangsheng was seriously injured, many officials were actually talking about how to make peace in private. It's just that he didn't dare to put it on the surface, unwilling to be the sinner of the ages, Yang Sichang was unwilling, and Zhu Youzhen was even more unwilling. What's more, after Dolgon was forced to retreat by Yang Hongzhang, this statement disappeared.

So these Jinyi guards who interrogated Wang Lenian were actually a little sympathetic to Wang Lenian's first half, and they had to face the spurning of so many villagers in Gaoyang, and they had to turn away the heroes with their own hands, if he knew that Yang Hongzhang had captured Haoge and Aobai in the night attack on the Qing camp, Wang Lenian probably wouldn't even listen to the emperor's orders, let alone Yang Sichang, what a great credit it was to catch Haoge, at that time Yang Hongzhang was just a garrison, and he was a genuine Gaoyang County Commander! Most of the credit will go to him!

He missed the opportunity again, an opportunity to jump like a rocket, he stood on the opposite side of Yang Hongzhang, and Yang Hongzhang's credit for capturing Yue Tuo naturally did not have his share.

However, for the matter in Tianjin, Jinyi Weike did not think that it was forced by Yang Hongzhang and his subordinates. It's Wang Lenian's own desire for profit!

However, Wang Lenian has already pleaded guilty, and Jinyiwei's task can be regarded as complete, and he also has an explanation for the imperial court to those Baoding refugees who fled to Tianjin Wei.
