Chapter 503: Closing the Door
Zhang Yin fell into deep thought, at least on the surface, he was already ignorant, his eyes were bloody, he seemed to be lying on the blue brick floor, blood flowed down the cracks of the bricks, the cracks in the ground were full of black and red blood, and people kept falling down, gasping, bleeding, and moaning that they were not dead...... Zhang Yin had beheaded many people when he was the magistrate, and then he suddenly remembered that these pictures were the situation when he was in prison, the prisoner fell to the ground, his head rolling on the ground, and blood kept gushing out, wetting the ground nearby......
Zhang Yuan suddenly shuddered, breaking free from the extreme panic and fear.
In front of him was the housekeeper in the house, he was standing in front of him with his body bowed, behind him were a few strong men in gray robes, and a few looked at the door and on both sides of the hall, a total of more than a dozen people escorted the housekeeper in, and he didn't know anything!
"Jin Yiwei?" Zhang Yin's gray and cloudy eyes were extremely panicked, and he remembered the terrifying legend about the imperial eagle dog of the Jingshi when he was a child.
Someone laughed, Zhang Yin felt that the voice was a little familiar, and he heard the man laugh and say, "How can Jinyiwei ...... so fast?"
"Zhang Han!" Zhang Yuan stood up all of a sudden!
"Second master, good."
Zhang Han, who was wearing a gray robe and a hat like his subordinates, stood up in a flash, and greeted Zhang Yin with a smile.
Zhang Yuan stared at Zhang Han, and he was speechless for a while.
Zhang Han shook his head slightly, no wonder the Zhang family in Puzhou was annihilated after Zhang Siwei and disappeared in the long river of history.
"Third Uncle ......" Zhang Han looked at Zhang Xuezeng, with a very complicated expression on his face, he said: "The matter of continuing the sect is very complicated, but one thing is certain, he first fell into the trap of others, was obsessed with women, and embezzled thousands of taels of public funds. β
Zhang Xuezeng burst into tears and said: "I heard about this the day before yesterday, and I can't wait to take him to me and beat him to death." can think of his appearance since he was a child, and his heart hurts and he doesn't know what to say. It's okay for you to deal with it no matter how you do it, just don't tell me, if I don't worry that you won't be able to pass this level in front of you, I really want to die immediately. β
Zhang Han was silent, he had no way to comfort the old man in front of him, Zhang Xuezeng gave him a lot of help from the beginning of Zhang Han's beginning, and later he personally went to help in Lingqiu, in Puzhou, many Zhang clan people were dissatisfied with Zhang Han, and Zhang Xuezeng had been playing a round in it, not to make the situation ossified.
If in terms of friendship and actual merits, Zhang Han doesn't want the old man in front of him to lose his eldest grandson, but from what Zhang Xuzong did, even if it was just to give an explanation to the group, Zhang Xuzong's fate was doomed.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yuan finally came back to his senses, and the short staff in his hand hit the ground directly, almost out of breath.
Zhang Han said with a smile: "The elders gathered here today, and what they said is nothing more than Wang Xun saying that I rebelled. Such a major event will also involve the entire Zhang family in Puzhou, how can I not come to explain. β
"How do you explain?" Zhang Yin stared at Zhang Han and said angrily: "The matter has been cleared, the governor and the general army can't help you in this matter, and my Zhang family in Puzhou has no choice, what's the use of you running back, we can't protect ourselves." β
Zhang Han still had a smile on his face, and there was no change after listening to Zhang Yan's words, but the people in the hall were all talking, and of course the words were not good.
Someone said directly: "We are mud bodhisattvas who cross the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, and he actually remembered to run to Puzhou, and he was really sick and rushed to the doctor." β
There are also humanitarians: "If you knew today, why bother in the first place?" β
There are also people who do not forget the old grudges, and said coldly: "Be kind to the clan, you can still ask for help when you are in an emergency, he is so cold to the clan, but at this time he is running over, it's really ridiculous." β
Zhang Han listened quietly, and only after seeing that no one spoke up anymore did he say: "I didn't come today to ask for help, everyone knows in their hearts that the current situation of the Zhang family in Puzhou can no longer help me, after this matter comes out, what you have to consider is how to clear yourself, so as not to be caught up in the reverse case." β
Zhang Yuan was very angry when he heard this, but he had nothing to say!
Zhang Han said: "The reverse case is the first class of major cases, after leaving Puzhou, I will go back to Lizhuang, wait for the imperial court to issue a thorough investigation, and then go to Beijing to solve the matter. β
Someone sneered: "Why don't you break up with you?" β
Zhang Han said: "Make it clear to me, and you won't be worried here." If I can't solve this problem, all of you here won't be able to get out. β
Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Do you really want to rebel?" β
Zhang Han smiled and said: "Of course I don't want to rebel, but if I am in a hurry, it will be difficult to say." He said quietly: "With my subordinates, Beiyu is not yet an opponent, and the Xuan, Da, Taiyuan, and Yansui towns of the imperial court are not necessarily my opponents. The capital camp is rotten and useless, if I forge ahead, I can take the Beijing division within ten days. It's just that the Ming Dynasty still has luck and has not lost the hearts of the people in the world, so I am still willing to be a follower under the rule of the Son of Heaven, and to guard the country for the Son of Heaven. β
Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded, and the rest of the people opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say for a while.
Zhang Han looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It's too late to sue me for rebellion now, you elders should save some effort." β
Some people really thought so, but when they thought about it, they turned to chagrin.
Zhang Yan said after a long time: "I didn't expect Feng Pangong to have such a rebellious descendant......
Zhang Han interrupted him unceremoniously: "If I want to succeed in the rebellion, Feng Pangong will definitely be posthumously presented as the emperor, and the second prince will be the king of the county, not better than now?" β
"Bastard, how dare you talk such nonsense......"
Zhang Yan was speechless angrily, Zhang Han saw this, smiled and bowed, turned around and left.
After he left, Wen Zhongfa and the others, who controlled the lobby, left in a flash, and after half a ring, the servants of the Zhang Mansion came over with a shout, saying that a strong man had just entered the mansion and imprisoned all the people in the house.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
Zhang Han's financial resources and strength in his hands are probably known to everyone, after all, many people have been to Li Zhuang, and no one has thought about this before, but what Zhang Han said in front of him just now made everyone feel ghosts all of a sudden.
Some people know that it is ridiculous, but they still can't help but think about it, and after thinking about it, they are afraid, but they are itching and uncomfortable in their hearts, and they can't help but think about it again.
After half a ring, Zhang Yin said: "That evil beast has a saying that is right, the reverse case must be reversed, we can't get rid of him, but it is a continuation of the sect, or the third child will come forward and sue a disobedient person......"
β¦β¦
After Zhang Han came out, Wen Zhongfa couldn't help but say, "My lord, I'm still here in Puzhou this time." βγ
Zhang Han smiled: "What do you say? β
"Is this a draw?" Wen Zhong said: "Puzhou does not dissociate itself from the adult, and points the finger at Zhang Xuzong, so that the court's attention will turn from whether the adult is rebelling, to doubting Zhang Xuzong's character, after all, people of the same clan, who they support and who they oppose, can also explain this person's usual personality and character." β
Zhang Han nodded and said, "It's only a little bit of a role." β
Although the role is not large, it is also the first piece of chess, and the landing point must be selected well.
Zhang Han chose to start from Zhang Xuzong's point, which was the right thing to do, and he fell where he should be.
As for what Zhang Han just said, he also thought about it, and blindly saying that he was wronged was just a waste of words, and it would only be limited to boring disputes.
It's better to say some rebellious words, Zhang Yin and others, afraid of being implicated, may also have some ideas, and the effect is better!
β¦β¦
"As long as you keep the gate, you can't enter, and the gate is solid. The new city, starting from Balipa, is thirty miles long, winding around the mountain in the north, reaching the sea in the south, a piece of stone, Jiaoshan, and Huanxiling, all of which are included. In this way, closing the door can be a cover! β
In an official residence in Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong and his entourage sit east to west, Wang Zaijin and other local officials sit west to east, the two groups of people have a-for-tat meaning, there are nearly 100 people standing in the hall, there are nearly 10 people wearing red official robes, and there are a large number of officials above the sixth grade to sit in the row, and those below the six grades are without seats, and the ring is lined up behind the side of the seat, and the queue is in front of the door.
The atmosphere is very tense, and it also suffers from the Liaozhen generals who participated in the meeting, they even stand very far away, only the military attachΓ© at the level of the deputy general of the general army, can barely stand with the civil officials of the seventh grade, their faces are full of embarrassed smiles, these civilian officials are talking about the country's strategy at the highest level in Liao affairs, originally there is no room for the generals to speak in this kind of matter, if it was before, even if the military generals at the level of the general army dared to speak out, they would definitely be scolded for a "wild and arrogant discussion", and then shouted out, losing face and not saying, Civilian superiors with bad tempers can also be impeached.
Today, because of the advocacy of Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the military department, these important generals of Liaozhen were also called in to attend the meeting and were allowed to express their opinions.
Jin Guan and Zu Dashou and other generals are all old treacherous and slippery, and no one has made their attitude clear, although they all support Wang Zaijin's proposition, only Huang Long and others vaguely expressed their support for Wang Zaijin.
This also made Wang Zaijin more confident, and he was full of anger when he spoke just now, but after he finished speaking, he found that Sun Chengzong's face was expressionless, and he was not moved by his words at all, and there was a faint pity in the eyes of several accompanying staff members behind Sun Chengzong.
Wang Zaijin was a little flustered in his heart, he picked up the tea bowl in a distraught manner, and covered his facial expression by drinking tea.
Sun Chengzong said: "Brother Yun, can you estimate the cost of rebuilding Guancheng?" β
Wang Zaijin picked up a piece of paper, looked at it, and said: "Kechen Zhou Xi ordered four or five million gold to consolidate the gold soup, and the cost of the road and town labor needs one million silver for the students, and the number of buildings and barracks is also among them, and there is no need for four or five million. If so, the state can save at least three million silver a year, and with this silver, it can be used to consolidate the town of Ji......"
"Brother Yun," Sun Chengzong interrupted his words as he stared at Wang Zaijin with his eyes intended, and asked, "After the new city is built, will it be defended by 40,000 soldiers from the old city?" β
