Chapter 48: The Showdown (Part II)

"Lord County Cheng is very right, this matter is really strange!" As soon as Wang Ningxian's words fell, Li Xing also opened his mouth, stared at Yang Chen a few times with a suspicious expression, then turned his gaze to the outside of the hall, and quickly swept over the group of Mongolian people: "They are not my Ming soldiers and civilians, and they are suspicious in themselves, not to mention that they would appear outside the granary where you were assassinated so coincidentally." I'm afraid it's not them, it's a thief shouting to catch a thief, right? ”

These words immediately attracted the nods of other people around him: "My lord, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different." These Tartars are the enemies of my Daming Border Pass, and their appearance at my Biaotou Pass itself is worthy of speculation, maybe they are the assassins sent by these people, and now they are just here to get rid of themselves. ”

"Yes, Lord Xianzun, don't be deceived by them, and do things that make your relatives and enemies happy." Suddenly, a subordinate official persuaded Zhu Xuanlai word by word, which was completely treating Yang Chen and the others as enemies.

This sudden statement really caught Zhu Xuan and Yang Chen off guard, especially the former, who was even more surprised, but couldn't find anything to refute. The latter, however, fell back into silence for the time being, bowing his head and contemplating, but he was not in a hurry to continue the topic just now.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhengde's mouth raised again: "These guys are quite good at sophistry." However, their reaction was too abnormal and intense, which proved that they were weak-minded. ”

At this moment, Yang Chen also raised his head suddenly, looked at the county officials in front of him with a smile, and then said: "Several adults are really impatient to expose the truth of the matter in order to prevent it. But do you feel like you're doing this too revealingly? Even if I'm a Mongolian, it doesn't prevent me from telling what I know in this court, right? What is your intention in trying to prevent me from speaking? ”

"Hmph, clever words, what can you do? Isn't it just that you want to mess me up, so that the Tartars who come to attack me can take advantage of it? Wang Ningxian immediately replied, he really said it righteously, and he couldn't see the slightest weakness.

"Really? But Wang Xiancheng, your words are very problematic in themselves, because it is impossible for us people to have any ill intentions against Biguan County. Even if there is, it is just to find out the cunning people who are hiding in this small city and doing evil and enriching their own pockets. Yang Chen immediately sneered.

"Hah...... It's really a big joke in the world, you are a Tartar, and you will actually do things for me? Li Xing and the others suddenly laughed, with a look of disbelief and ridicule.

Only a few people such as Wang Ningxian suddenly changed their faces, as if they were faintly aware that something was wrong, but for a while, they hadn't been able to figure out the inside story, so they just stared at Yang Chen, as if a flower had bloomed on his face.

Yang Chen didn't immediately say his identity, but first turned his head to look at Ding Yueqian outside the hall, exchanged a look with the other party, and saw him nodding before he said: "You keep saying that the Mongolian people are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, so do you know that there are no more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers guarding the border with our soldiers in my Ming Nine Border Town?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of everyone who were still sneering suddenly froze, and they forgot about this article. After more than 100 years of mutual conquest, many Mongolian captives took root in the land of the Ming Dynasty and eventually became the real people of the Ming Dynasty. And a large part of this, because of his natural ability to fight, joined the army and became a backbone that cannot be ignored in the nine-sided town of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that because of years of getting along, the officials and people in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty have long regarded these people as natives like themselves, and they have ignored their identities. It wasn't until now, when Yang Chen suddenly broke it, that these people suddenly came to their senses.

Li Xing's eyes widened even more, he pointed at them with his hand, and asked expectantly, "Could it be that you people are ...... It's just ......" The last words are a little indescribable.

Yang Chen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we are the Datong defenders who infiltrated Biguan County and found out the truth of some things on the military order of Lord Yang Yiqing Yang of the Trilateral General System. Don't you think our words are still credible? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone's faces turned blue and white for a while, and they didn't know how to respond. And Zhu Xuan also frowned slightly, he couldn't understand why Yang Chen would choose to suddenly reveal his hidden identity at this time. Isn't he afraid that he will make things more and more difficult to investigate?

In fact, before this, Yang Chen did not mean to reveal his identity, and he also had some concerns. But in the blink of an eye just now, he suddenly figured it out.

Why did I always find out what I wanted before, why did I be constrained everywhere, and even almost put my life into it? In the final analysis, it's because of an identity issue. In fact, those people are thieves, as long as they can reveal their identities, instead of using some hidden identities to deal with them, these silverfish will definitely be tired of parrying, but it will be much easier to deal with.

After all, this is still the land of my Ming Dynasty, and they are still court officials, bound by the laws of the court. When their sins are spread out into the sun, they will no longer be able to resist. Even if there are accomplices who will join forces with them to make a final resistance, it is not worth mentioning in the face of justice. What's more, there are countless people and sergeants in this city, Yang Chen believes that when the truth of the matter is found out, most of them will clearly stand on the side of justice!

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that he has found Zhengde. Because now he doesn't have to worry about the Son of Heaven being threatened, on the contrary, with him by his side, he is more courageous. Because of his witness, even if there are people in the court who want to protect these people, there is nothing they can do.

At this time, after a period of silence, Wang Ningxian finally recovered a little from the initial shock, only to see him squinting and staring at Yang Chen: "Your identity is quite like that, but there is no basis for saying it, but there is evidence?" ”

When Yang Chen heard this, he looked outside again, Ding Yueqian immediately understood, strode into the hall, and took out a waist card in his arms, and showed it in front of everyone: "I am Ding Yueqian, the general manager of the Datong avant-garde army, and this time I am here to investigate the suspicious case in Biguan County on the order of Lord Yang." ”

At the same time, the Mongolian warriors outside also took out their waist cards and called out their identities-

"Datong avant-garde put the total Grad ......"

"Datong Left Guard General Banner Ergu ......"

"Datong Right Guard ......"

As these people revealed their identities one by one, the faces of the group of officials in the hall became more and more gloomy, and a few of them even showed panic, knowing that things were already very bad.

And this time, even that Wang Ningxian couldn't say anything to question or oppose, but just muttered in his mouth: "We have always been dutiful and law-abiding, and we have never done anything wrong, why did Lord Yang let you come to spy on us......

"Really? If you are really innocent, why is there such a thing happening today? Yang Chen sneered, and then looked at Zhu Xuan: "Lord County, presumably now I can tell the truth what I know, right?" ”

It was only at this time that Zhu Xianling recovered slightly from the shock just now, and nodded subconsciously: "That's what you say." ”

"Actually, adults already understood what I was going to say!" Yang Chen's gaze swept over the faces of the officials one by one, and finally fell on Qiu Yang's body: "Just a few days ago, when I sneaked into the county government to reveal my identity to Zhu County Commander and left, I happened to see a person sneaking into the county office. Curious, I followed him, and as a result, I heard a conversation about Zhu Xianling......" As he spoke, he recounted the scene of that day.

Listening to his words, the faces of everyone in the hall became more and more worried, and the Qiu warden was even more pale at this time, his body was trembling slightly, and he almost fainted directly.

At the end of his words, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Qiu Yang: "...... This person who colluded with others to try to kill Zhu Xian Ling with an assassin, and planned to blame it on us and others, was Qiu Yang, who accompanied the county zun to the granary to check before! At that time, in the granary, he deliberately let Master Zhu walk in front and face the sneak attack of the assassins alone. Fortunately, Ding Qian and I followed him early in the morning and kept an eye on it at all times, so they didn't let their plot succeed! Qiu Yang, what else do you have to say now? ”

The last shout asked, he spoke with the power of the dantian, his voice was like a thunderbolt, it shook people's hearts, and Qiu Yang, who was already frightened, was even more numb, his body trembled for a while, his head was lowered, and he shouted in his mouth: "My lord...... The lower officials are also forced to be helpless, so they will attack you as a last resort, and I hope you will spare your life! ”

Yes, as soon as this statement came out, it was considered that his crime was completely implemented. This made the faces of the other people in the hall change instantly, especially Wang Ningxian, whose face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

Zhu Xuan's reaction was not slow, and he immediately slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Say, who is the accomplice who colluded with you and wanted to put this official to death?" How many of your accomplices are there in this county office? If you still have a trace of conscience, quickly bring out the truth to this official! ”

"I ......" Receiving this roar, Qiu Yang subconsciously raised his head and wanted to say something. And at this moment, one of them suddenly shouted: "You thief is really innocent!" As he spoke, his figure flashed, and the man had already shown a knife and slashed straight at Qiu Yang's throat!
