Chapter 362: The Threat of the Chief Officer
Gavin Tiger was a little surprised when he heard this: "Lord Qincha, aren't these weapons not allowed to be brought into the fortress?" ”
"That's the fear of falling into the hands of the Tatars, and to be honest, I looked back and thought about it, and it was better to worry that our people would fall into the hands of the Tatars than to be afraid that the firearms would fall into the hands of the Tatars." Besides, he laughed.
Cao Delin and Gavin Hu are also obedient people, and they understood as soon as they heard what he said.
Moreover, it is also true that if the Tatars treat each other politely, if they are fine, the weapons they bring will naturally not fall into the hands of the Tatars, and if these firearms really fall into the hands of the Tatars, it means that they are already prisoners of the Tatars.
When it really comes to that point, your life will not be saved, and what does it matter if these things outside your body do not fall into the hands of the Tatars.
Of course, they value their lives more than the so-called secrets, and definitely do not think that their lives are less valuable than a few firearms.
"Just do as Chincha-sama wants." Cao Delin said with a smile.
Besides, nodding, it doesn't matter if the two of them agree on this matter, but it is better if they agree, after all, in the imperial court, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the most vocal, and if there is no reason, they are not willing to be the opponent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In the morning, Wang Chonggu really received an official letter from the little prince Hannaji, asking to enter the customs to visit the minister with plenipotentiary.
Wang Chonggu replied to the letter, agreed to the other party's request, and at the same time decided to hold a meeting ceremony between the two sides in the border gate.
After sending the letter away, Li Zhipeng, the chief military officer of Datong, came to visit and asked Wang Chonggu to help release Liao Bingxun.
Wang Chonggu sighed: "Lord Li, if it was something else, the governor would have brought General Liao back a long time ago, and now he is on the stall with the case of the disappearance of two important figures in the diplomatic corps, and this case has officially entered the three halls of trial, not to mention me, even the cabinet scholars have no way to take people away from the three halls of trial." ”
"The three-church trial should have the approval of the Holy One before it can be started, right? Aren't they private courts? Li Zhipeng roared.
"Master Lee." Wang Chonggu raised his voice and shouted, "Please be cautious, Lord Qincha has full power in his hands, what is the difference between what he approved and what the Holy Lord approves, now there are two Imperial History Masters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as the Masters of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to form a three-hall trial, who dares to say that this is a private court?" ”
Li Zhipeng's arrogance suddenly decreased, he sat on the chair and said hatefully: "This is a part of the imperial court deliberately persecuting and suppressing the soldiers of our border army, the members of the mission are missing, Guan Liao Bingxun has anything, he said that he doesn't know these two people at all, let alone seen them." ”
Wang Chonggu sneered: "But there are witnesses, and three people testified that they saw the two rich adults get off the sedan chair in front of General Liao's mansion, and General Liao personally came out to welcome them. ”
"This is all a false accusation, and if you want the evidence to be conclusive, you must not only have witnesses, but also physical evidence." Li Zhipeng shouted.
Obviously, he had also studied this case with his master in the torture room before he came, and wanted to seize the fact that there was no physical evidence to fight back.
Wang Chonggu sneered: "Physical evidence? Master Li thinks about it, do you really want Lord Qincha and them to come up with physical evidence? ”
"Of course. If they had, why didn't they show it to others, it was clear that they didn't, and then instructed a few people to shamelessly frame Liao Bingxun, not against Liao Bingxun alone, but against all the officers and men of our border army. Although Li Zhipeng is a military general, he also knows that the upper platform is on the line, and he immediately raised this case to the level of suppressing all the officers and men of the border army.
Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "Lord Li, Lord Qincha did not come up with physical evidence, that is, they saved enough face for Lord Li and the soldiers of the border army. Why don't you understand this? ”
Li Zhipeng's heart jumped: "How can you say this?" ”
He was really afraid that if they had some conclusive physical evidence in their hands, they would not be able to overturn the case.
"What's so difficult to understand about this, the physical evidence is in General Liao's house, if you want physical evidence, you have to raid General Liao's house and check everything. Lord Qincha, they didn't do this, didn't they just save face for Lord Li and all the soldiers of the border army? Wang Chonggu said loudly.
Although he is the governor and has absolute leadership over the chief officer, the military general also has his own tricks to fight, so under normal circumstances, he is not too stiff with the chief officer.
At this time, he was really a little annoyed, Li Zhipeng was really a little embarrassed, and of course he didn't mention the physical evidence because he didn't want to raid Liao Bingxun's house, and even Liao's son was not arrested, which really gave the border army too much face.
Isn't it too shameless for Li Zhipeng to not understand the goodwill of the minister, but to attack this kindness? is actually embarrassed to go online, what do you mention all the soldiers of the border army, he doesn't dare to say that he can represent all the soldiers of the border army, Li Zhipeng is just a general officer, where does he have the confidence and pride to dare to represent all the soldiers of the border army?
Li Zhipeng was stunned, he didn't expect that the flaw in the case he found was not a defect, but a deliberate face, if he insisted on wanting physical evidence, and he would take someone to raid General Liao's house, so that the responsibility of copying Liao Bingxun's house would be on him.
What a cunning minister, what a trap awaits me here?
He was sweating profusely, thanks to not going to court to reason with the chief judge about this matter, otherwise people would immediately send troops to confiscate Liao Bingxun's house, but he was still at his request.
This group of cunning literati was so vicious that he cursed in his heart.
No, the minister of the Qin Mission is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he should be a military attaché, not a civilian official.
He was a little confused again.
In fact, the official establishment of Jinyiwei is still a kind of Imperial Forest Army, and the officers of the Imperial Forest Army are of course military attachés, but Jinyiwei has separate law enforcement power and trial power, which is the same as the responsibilities of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it can also be said to be a civilian official, in fact, the most accurate statement is a law enforcement official.
"Lord Dutang, no matter what, Xiao Liao's matter has a great repercussion in the army, and the brothers below are not convinced, and they want to find Lord Qincha to theorize their theories, if it weren't for the pressure of the general, they would have started to make trouble a long time ago, if they didn't release them in the end, the general didn't dare to guarantee what would happen."
Li Zhipeng tried to see the dagger, and finally showed the hole card of the threat, the implication is that the army is not convinced, if you don't let the people go, the army will make a noise or even mutiny, you can do it yourself.
Where is Wang Chonggu willing to be threatened like this, he brushed his sleeves and said: "Lord Li, it's useless for you to tell me what you say, why don't you go and tell Lord Qincha and the two Imperial Masters of the Imperial Court directly?" Drop-off. ”
He directly blew Li Zhipeng away.
Wang Chonggu knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for people to let go, and if the border army really dared to make noise or even mutiny, of course it would be a big problem, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't use this to blackmail the ministers, and he had to stand on the side of the situation with a clear banner on this point, not on Li Zhipeng's side.
This is a matter of principle, and there must be no half-degree error or ambiguity.
After Li Zhipeng left, Wang Chonggu's face was still blue with anger, he flicked his long sleeves, and smashed the tea trays and tea cups on several cases to the ground and smashed them, which was not enough to relieve his anger, so he flew up and kicked several cases away, almost smashing on the servants who heard the sound come in.
"Master, this is ......" The servant looked at the porcelain tiles in the room, and he didn't know why.
"Cleaned up." Wang Chonggu just gave an order, bowed his head and walked out.
He then came to the post house in a sedan chair, saw him, showed him the official document of Hannaji, and then explained his own arrangements.
"Very well, let's go in a moment." Besides, I read the official document and handed it to Wang Chonggu.
"One more thing."
Wang Chonggu told him about Li Zhipeng's thunderous arrival and threats, and of course he also said how he would deal with it.
"Very well, you should scold him like this. It's just a general military officer, do you really think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and no one can cure him? And sneered.
"What if the army really mutinies?"
Wang Chonggu's mind was in turmoil, his attitude at that time was the same thing, that is, to express his position and principles, but if the border army really mutinied, the defense of the border pass would become a big problem.
Besides, he said with a smile: "Those who dare to make a mutiny will be suppressed, those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be sentenced will be sentenced, and those who should be exiled will be exiled, without mercy." I don't believe that more than 100,000 people in the border army will follow him Li Zhipeng, or are they more loyal to the imperial court, right? ”
"Of course, that's of course. But even if only some of them mutinied, it would be a big shock. Wang Chonggu said worriedly.
"It's useless to be afraid of this kind of thing, the more you are afraid, the more he will use this to blackmail you, you must not be coerced by this kind of coercion, once you find signs of mutiny, you will immediately and resolutely suppress it." Besides, he was murderous.
He did this in the sixth guard of Jinyi at the beginning, and some of the students clamored for mutiny, but it was just a way of bragging, and he still fired them all mercilessly.
Wang Chonggu gasped in his heart, he didn't expect that although this gentle minister was young, he was an iron-fisted person.
Besides, the ruthlessness is already well-known in Jinyiwei, and it is also famous in Beijing, can the person who is known as the first tyrant in the capital not be ruthless?
However, few people know how his ruthlessness came from, in fact, it was all forced out by the emperor from behind, he has no way to retreat now, and there is not much way to go, so he can only rely on this ruthlessness to support himself from falling.
"Do you want to inform Lord Fang and ask him to come over and meet with the little prince?" Besides, he asked.
"Let's ask, of course Lord Fang is willing to go." Wang Chonggu did not ask Fang Fengshi himself, but left the right to besides, and of course he also repaid him and asked him how to do this well.
Moreover, he and Wang Chonggu jointly sent a letter to Fang Fengshi, asking him if he would like to go together to meet the little prince Hannaji. Soon Fang sent someone to report at the right time, saying that he was willing to be a precursor for the two adults, and the matter was settled.
