"Do you know how much Lord Futai takes this matter? Master Kong has been detained for questioning, and I have come this time to summon you to the governor's yamen and meet Lord Futai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xu Mengchao's face was full of sadness.

"See, see Lord Futai, why do you see him?"

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused with this official, the head catcher of Huxian County led the county government officials to coerce the people, you don't know about this matter."

"This kind of trivial matter can still alarm Lord Futai." Jiang Huan said comfortingly.

"When the people were coerced, Li Futai was on the spot."

"Then, then what should I do, does Lord Song know about this matter, let him say something good to Lord Futai, and cover up this matter. I don't hesitate to spend as many silver taels as I want. Jiang Huan, who heard the truth, began to be afraid, and his mind turned and he remembered Song Mingyi.

Xu Mengchao shouted loudly: "Silver tael, silver tael, you know silver tael, field, rat eyes, do you know that what you do will cause trouble to the cabinet and the emperor, I estimate that according to the emperor's nature and Li Futai's behavior, your crime can definitely take your head." "

Jiang Huan was even more scared, and said hesitantly: "No, I can still make trouble with the emperor for this little thing, Commander Xu, my brother is not very bold, don't scare your brother." ”

Xu Mengchao sighed, he knew a truth, Jiang Huan was arrested and killed, it was not terrible, the most terrible thing might be because of Jiang Huan's death, which led to a complete confrontation between Li Shuo and Song Mingyi, and even more, it could cause the first confrontation between Emperor Zhu Youzhen and Huang Liji.

However, from top to bottom, Xu Mengchao is clear that Song Ming can fight Li Shuo, all the reasons are on the emperor, after Cui Chengxiu's rebellion, the important positions left by the rest of the party were appointed by Zhu Youzhen, and at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he broke such a big case, most of the officials in the court defected, and the Beijing division was under the encouragement of Jinyiwei, and many people thought that the new emperor was a rare Ming monarch in the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years.

Xu Mengchao's heart was filled with Xiao Jiujiu, whether he followed Song Mingyi to fight against Li Shuo's authority, or defected, but many years of friendship made Xu Mengchao undecided, but Xu Mengchao knew that his heart was not as firm as before.

"Jiang Huan, let's go, Lord Futai is waiting for you at the Governor's Yamen, you can't let them wait for a long time."

"Also, I'm really going."

"Could it be that this official came here to joke with you, but I can tell you that this time this official came with two hundred soldiers. If you don't go, don't blame the official for detaining you regardless of the old friendship. ”

In fact, as Cao Dezhang said, if one or two officials came, Jiang Huan would definitely laugh a few times and leave it alone, but it was Xu Mengchao who came, even if Xu Mengchao came alone, this Jiang Huan would not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Me, can I prepare?"

"Hurry up, you only have half an hour."

Half an hour later, Jiang Huan, who had explained to his family, went to the governor's yamen with Xu Mengchao.

The hall of the governor's yamen was full of people, officials at all levels, Huxian County, Cheng Wei Renjie, and several head hunters were among them.

Li Shuo was talking to Cao Dezhang, and at this moment, Xu Mengchao walked up.

"Jiang Huan has brought it."

"Jiang Huan is waiting outside the door for Lord Futai to summon him." Xu Mengchao's attitude was a little rigorous.

Li Shuo looked at Cao Dezhang and said solemnly: "Lord Cao, I don't think we should wait for a long time. ”

"That's what I mean, come on, invite Jiang Yuanwai in." Cao Dezhang echoed.

There are guards outside the door to take Jiang Huan.

After a while, Jiang Huan entered the lobby and was frightened by the formation of his eyes, the officials he didn't know in the entire Chang'an Mansion were in the lobby, and more importantly, Song Mingyi was not present, he thought in panic, why Song Mingyi, who was the political envoy of Zuobu, did not appear in such a big formation. Could it be that he was caught like himself, thinking about Xu Mengchao's attitude towards him, and he was even more scared in his heart.

Jiang Huan is a smart person, and when he first came in, he saw Li Shuo sitting on the main seat at a glance.

In this kind of formation, even if Jiang Huan is usually a little arrogant, he doesn't dare to hold it up.

Kneeling down and trembling, he said, "The grass people knocked on Lord Futai and saw all the adults. ”

"Gang Member, get out." Li Shuo waved his hand and said softly.

"Lord Xie Futai." Saying this, Jiang Huan stood up.

Li Shuo looked at Jiang Huan carefully, and said, "Outside Jiang Yuan, this official has two questions for you, and you have to answer them honestly. ”

Jiang Huan nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly said, "What Lord Futai asked, the grass people will definitely know everything." ”

"That's fine, who sold the military land of the Gejiazhuang Guard Office in Huxian County, and how did you get Kong Shengyi to order and coerce the people, is it really that the two of you have a deep personal relationship?" Li Shuo said straight to the point.

Such a terrible question, does Jiang Huan dare to answer? Of course I didn't dare, I couldn't speak there.

Li Shuo didn't urge him, just watched indifferently.

But Cao Dezhang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand it, slapped the table, and reprimanded loudly: "Jiang Huan, so far, the evidence is ironclad, do you still have to quibble?" If Lord Futai asks you, you should hurry up. ”

Cao Dezhang and Song Mingyi have been hostile for many years, of course they want to see him deflated.

After Jiang Huan listened to Cao Dezhang's words, he still didn't speak, turned his eyes to look at Xu Mengchao who was standing above the lobby, and then turned his head to look at Kong Shengyi, who was standing aside, and sighed in his heart, he would never have thought that he would have today.

"The grass people have something to ask Lord Futai." Jiang Huan said softly.

"Bold." Cao Dezhang reprimanded on the side.

Li Shuo waved his hand, signaling Cao Dezhang to pay attention to some of his emotions, and then said, "Do you have something to ask this official." ”

"The grass people want to ask Lord Futai, if all these charges are confirmed, what will happen to the grass people."

Li Shuo smiled lightly and said: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you should be beheaded, but this official can be convicted lightly, just look at your own performance outside Jiang Yuan, tell the military households who sold your land, and all the military fields you bought before, who they came from, all of them are summoned, and this official can let you live and let you enjoy your old age." ”

"The grass people admit that those military fields were bought by the grass people, but the grass people have never gone to the guard house, and the people from the guard house came to the grass people to sell their fields. However, there is a big thing that the grass people want to tell Lord Futai alone, and they will make meritorious contributions. ”

"What?" Li Shuo asked softly.

"A major event about the life and death of my Ming Dynasty."

"I am prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and I want to confuse the people with evil words." Cao Dezhang said loudly.

Li Shuo glanced at Cao Dezhang and said softly: "The official is very curious, I don't know if Lord Cao asked the official to listen to this important matter?" "Actually, Li Shuo is really interested in this so-called big thing.

Cao Dezhang suddenly realized that Li Shuo was the governor, and he was so active in the lobby, wouldn't he steal Li Shuo's limelight.

"The lower officials don't dare." Cao Dezhang said busily.

Li Shuo stood up and said, "You go to the inner hall with me." After speaking, he walked towards the inner hall, and Jiang Huan hurriedly followed.

Above the inner hall, four brocade guards stood on either side of Li Shuo, Jiang Huan looked at several brocade guards, and said softly: "Lord Futai, can you let these people retreat?" ”

"They are all from Beijing, and they have only been here for three or two days, and they will never reveal their secrets."

"However, what the grass people say now, spread it, the big thing is not good, the grass people are afraid of death, and they will never dare to make a move to hurt Lord Futai." Jiang Huan said urgently.

Li Shuo saw that Jiang Huan was so nervous, so he said to Jin Yiwei: "You stand down and watch from a distance, no one can get close to this room." ”

"Yes."
