Chapter 118: Zhang Debiao, the target of everyone
Chen Ergou didn't care what everyone present thought, he rushed to Guan Shanyue like a monkey, put the knife in Guan Shanyue's hand with the back of the knife, and said anxiously: "Master Guan, what do you think is wrong with this steel knife?" ”
The soldiers of the Pixiu battalion seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, and with an excited face, they handed the steel knives in their hands to Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Debiao who were sitting on both sides, and he was so excited that he was speechless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Guan Shanyue didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Ergou's gourd, but he had always been safe, and there must have been a big event to report if he broke in so rashly, and he would be blamed for disrupting the banquet.
The three of them looked at each other like each other, their eyes widened, and they carefully examined the steel knife in their hands, but they didn't find anything unusual.
Guan Shanyue raised her head with a puzzled face, and said suspiciously: "I know this steel knife, it's called Yanling Knife, and it's used by cavalry. The impression of the Yanling knife Guan is very deep, when the loyal Marquis Qin Shaobao Qin general Kulun broke the emperor Taiji under the city, the cavalry used this kind of knife, the cavalry who escorted Guan to Daning also used the Yanling knife, and the cavalry under the command of King Fu who wanted to put Guan to death in Lingbao County also used the Yanling knife. Isn't this a very common standard equipment of the Ming army? Why, is there something wrong with it? ”
Chen Ergou nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "If this knife appears in the hands of our Ming army, it will be normal, but the subordinates want to say that this Yanling knife is used by the Wara cavalry, and it is a large-scale equipment, there are tens of thousands, don't you think there is nothing strange in it?" ”
"Huh!?" Guan Shanyue's face suddenly turned cloudy, and she stood up from her seat suddenly, her eyes fixed on Chen Ergou's eyes, "It's a big matter, don't you want to talk nonsense, is this matter serious?" ”
Chen Ergou stared at it, there was no panic in his expression, and he said righteously: "The stakes are very high, how dare your subordinates joke with their heads, it's true!" This Yanling knife was cleaned from the battlefield by the soldiers of the Pixiu battalion, and it really can't be real. The brothers in the firearms battalion can also testify that if your subordinates talk to you, it won't be the old birthday star who hangs himself for a long time. ”
Guan Shanyue's brows were twisted into a pimple, the blue tendons on her forehead were exposed, and her chest was full of anger, and she threw the knife in front of Zhang Debiao with a loud "dang long", and shouted loudly with the anger in her heart: "Zhang Debiao, the Yanling knife is the standard equipment of the Ming army, and the Kulun City under your rule is the only mutual market with Wara in Daning and even in the entire Ming Dynasty, don't you want to say something?" ”
The soldiers behind Guan Shanyue suddenly unsheathed their swords, and some even aimed the short-handled firearms in their hands at Zhang Debiao's head, just waiting for an order to rush forward and take him down.
When the generals present heard this, they were silent, and their eyes were all focused on Zhang Debiao, the helmsman of Culomb City.
The eyes of those generals who participated in the war were even more angry, thinking of the brothers who died on the battlefield, and they couldn't wait to kill Zhang Debiao alive now.
Zhang Debiao's face was as shocked as a blank piece of paper, he knew that if he made a slight change now, he would die on the spot, so he faced Guan Shanyue with a sad face and said, "Lord Guan, the conscience of heaven and earth." I, Zhang Debiao, were brought out by you, and the enemy is a big crime to kill the head, how can I do such a thing that loses my conscience? You are so old that you can be discerning, saying that this Yanling knife is from Kulun City, and I, Zhang Debiao, are more wronged than Dou E! ”
Guan Shanyue snorted coldly, and didn't seem to believe Zhang Debiao's defense, "I personally don't want to believe that you can do this kind of thing, but there are steel mills in Coulomb City, and you also have iron mines, and secretly producing tens of thousands of Yanling knives is not a problem at all." Your justification is too pale to be believed. ”
Some generals have already sketched a picture of Zhang Debiao's collusion with the Great Khan of Warat, Harakura, using Kulun City as a bait to lure Daning's army into battle, annihilating them all, and then sharing Daning equally with Harakura.
Otherwise, where did the tens of thousands of Ming standard equipment of the Warat people come from? Also, why did the Warat people handle the timing so well, and they had been getting along well with Kulun City before, why did they break out when Houjin and Liaodong showed their fangs to Daning?
If it weren't for Guan Daren's ability to turn the tide and come back at the right time, I am afraid that such a trick would have been succeeded by him Zhang Debiao.
Zhang Debiao is now speechless, and a cold sweat broke out on his anxious forehead, and he also felt that the justification just now was a little too pale, "Lord Guan, Debiao is really wronged, and this time I will bear the brunt of the war in Kulun City." The subordinates of the Warat Mutual Market have always firmly followed the rules you have set, and only bartered their horses, furs and other goods with non-strategic materials such as iron pots, salt, grain, vegetables and fruits, and never shed a single weapon? By the way, every transaction between Coulomb City and Warat, I have all people register according to the date of the transaction, all of them are well documented, please be aware of them! ”
Zhang Debiao breathed a long sigh of relief after speaking, he didn't expect that the habit of bookkeeping, which he had developed from the Yulinbao Post Station, could save his life at a critical moment.
Many of the generals who participated in the war did not believe Zhang Debiao's words at all now, and they all looked at him with disdain, and looked him up and down with strange eyes, as if his accusation of being an enemy had been confirmed.
The firearms battalion suffered the most damage, and one of the generals, Wude, stood up from behind the banquet and said with a cold face: "The account is dead, but the personnel are alive, if you steal and sell the weapons of the Warats, won't this account book be tampered with?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Debiao once again became the target of public criticism, and the hot eyes of the generals made him feel like a man, but he could no longer produce strong evidence to prove his innocence, and he had to bear this unclear wretchedness.
He looked around and prayed for someone to stand up and speak up for him. But they were so disgusted with him that they all turned their faces to the side, and did not look at him.
Guan Shanyue sighed, she didn't believe that Zhang Debiao would do such a thing, but he couldn't prove his innocence, as the biggest suspect, now he had to take him against his will and slowly investigate, "Hey, Zhang Debiao Guan someone doesn't believe that you will do this." However, you still need to avoid suspicion until the matter is investigated. ”
Zhang Debiao sat down on the ground with a puff, although Guan Shanyue's words were more vague, but he also heard the meaning of wanting to take himself down.
Everyone present naturally heard the meaning of Guan Shanyue's words, and they all kept silent tacitly, for fear that they would accidentally lose their words and pierce the last layer of window paper.
Zhang Debiao burst into tears, his head slammed, and he choked up and said, "Big ...... Big...... My lord, Debiao is not afraid of crooked shadows, you must return Debiao's innocence! ”
Chen Ergou just wanted to ask for credit, but he didn't expect the development of things to far exceed his expectations, and he looked at Zhang Debiao, who was already crying on the ground, and his heart was full of guilt for him.
Guan Shanyue couldn't bear to see the old ministry in the past suffer such a great humiliation, and after helping Zhang Debiao up, she patted him on the shoulder twice, wanting to comfort him a few words, but she really couldn't find a suitable excuse on this occasion, and she opened her mouth a few times to stop talking.
He simply turned around and closed his eyes, waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, and said impatiently: "What are you waiting for, why don't you send Master Zhang back to his room to rest." ”
"My lord, wait, Jebzundan Bahutuktu is willing to prove Lord Zhang's innocence!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the solemn living Buddha of Jebtsundamba slowly walking into the lobby with the support of a Kulun City soldier.
Everyone was taken aback, and the generals present hurriedly stood up and saluted to show their respect, they didn't expect that this matter would alarm the living Buddha in the city so quickly, but why was he so sure that Zhang Debiao was innocent?
