Now as long as Xu Xinsu and the others are successfully escorted back to the yamen, they are not afraid that they will turn the sky, Sun Yueling was about to speak, Chen Xifan suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of Sun Yueling, pointed to the bodies of Zhang Ruzhen and Fu Dapeng and shouted: "Deputy Envoy Sun, what is going on, why did the two adults die here?" ”

Sun Yueling sneered and said, "I have already said that Zhang Ruzhen and Fu Dapeng colluded with Xu Xinsu to commit crimes, and even tried to murder the official, so the official beheaded Zhang Ruzhen with a gold medal arrow." As for Fu Dapeng www.biquge.info, the envoy originally planned to let him live, but unfortunately, he was shot by a man in black at the last moment, not by the envoy. ”

"Haha...... It's really beautiful...... Chen Xifan smiled at the sky and stared at Sun Yueling tightly, "Deputy Sun is so majestic, the gold medal order arrow can only order officials below the third grade, but you dare to kill the political participation of the third rank in the current dynasty without permission." If you are allowed to act so recklessly, I am afraid that my Fujian officials will be killed by you! After that, he waved his hand and said, "Fence it for me, and no one is allowed to be spared." ”

As soon as his words fell, hundreds of officers and soldiers immediately rushed up and formed a large circle, surrounding all of them inside.

Sun Yueling pointed at Chen Xifan and said angrily: "Bold, this official is the deputy envoy of the judge, entrusted by Lord Zhu to arrest the lawbreakers, you dare to lead troops to encircle you, are you not afraid of the court and Lord Zhu's punishment?" "He really didn't think that Chen Xifan would dare to order his subordinates to surround him, you must know that the Ming Dynasty used literature and imperial martial arts, although this Chen Xifan is about the same grade as him, but in terms of status and power, it is worse than him, and now Chen Xifan dares to besiege him, which is simply an unbearable insult.

Chen Xifan sneered: "Sun Yueling, you have committed a heinous crime by killing the officials of the imperial court. Even if Ben takes you down today, I'm afraid that all the lords in the court will have nothing to say. Besides, the bizarre deaths of Zhang and Fu may not be caused by your collusion with pirates and deliberate murder. After speaking, he raised the Yanling knife in his hand and shouted, "Tie me all up, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the situation in the field immediately became more tense.

Sun Yueling's subordinates and Yan Siqi's brothers were naturally unconvinced, and they shouted one after another, pushing and shoving the officers and soldiers who surrounded them. These officers and soldiers could listen to Shangfeng's order, so naturally they did not dare to disobey, so they also planned to be strong against these officials and seamen.

The situation in the field was at its peak, and some people could not help but take action against these officers and soldiers, which pushed the entire confrontation to a climax, and the two sides were about to fight a big fight, forming an unstoppable situation.

At this time, the sound of shouting, shouting, fists and feet, and the sound of swords were endless, and the square became noisy and chaotic.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly someone outside shouted: "Stop me!" The sound of a bell resounded throughout the square.

Sun Yueling heard that this was Yu Zhigao's voice, and secretly screamed in his heart, this old guy actually came, maybe there would be some unpredictable changes. He pushed aside a few people in front of him and looked outside, only to see Yu Zhigao and Zhu Qin coming together, and they were walking to the back door of the front hall, and there were a large number of people behind him.

Seeing that the governor Zhu Qinxiang was also here, Sun Yueling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with him here, presumably Yu Zhigao and Chen Xifan would not dare to make any more trouble.

Sure enough, after Chen Xifan heard Yu Zhigao's words, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat aside. Sun Yueling had also stopped those officials at this time, and asked them not to fight against the officers and soldiers anymore.

"Xia Guan has seen Lord Zhongcheng and Governor Yu." Sun Yueling hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the two.

Zhu Qinxiang looked at the messy scene on the square, and said to Sun Yueling: "Deputy Envoy Sun, Ben Futai came as soon as he got the news of President Zhou, what is the situation now?" ”

Sun Yueling looked behind him, and saw that Zhou Wenxi and Ao Tianxing were all with the heads of the twelve chambers of commerce in Fuzhou, and he was even more sure in his heart, it seemed that Zhu Qinxiang had already known about the situation of the twelve chambers of commerce being persecuted by Xu Xinsu and others, and replied: "The lower officials have preliminarily ascertained that Zhang Ruzhen, Fu Dapeng, Xu Xinsu and others conspired to monopolize coastal trade and design to frame the maritime merchant Yan Siqi. ”

"Good, good." Zhu Qinxiang kept nodding his head and said, "You have to judge this matter clearly as soon as possible, so that the court will know about it in the future." ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Sun Yueling replied.

"Lord Sun is really a fierce general, he cracked such a major case not long after he first came, the old man is really happy for you!" Yu Zhigao suddenly laughed, walked over and patted Sun Yueling on the shoulder and said cordially.

Sun Yueling said lightly: "Where is it, Yu Dudu praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed." This Yu Zhigao is clearly the backstage of this group, but at this time, he can behave so friendly and relaxed, which makes him feel a little strange.

Yu Zhigao continued: "Lord Zhu, Deputy Envoy Sun, I am ashamed to say that I didn't recognize the ugly faces of Ruzhen and Xu Xinsu on weekdays, and I was deceived by them, and I was very derelict in my duties...... "frowned and made a bitter face, as if he was very worried about this, and it was difficult to let go.

Zhu Qinxiang said with relief: "Why should Governor Yu blame himself too much, if it weren't for President Zhou, Mr. Ao and others who came to report, even Benfu would have been deceived by them, I didn't know that they had done so many evil deeds behind our backs." Yu Dudu doesn't have to take this matter to heart, this kind of thing is always unavoidable, as long as we are courtiers, as long as we are loyal to the saint and responsible to the court. ”

Yu Zhigao nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, it's still Lord Zhongcheng's far-reaching." ”

Sun Yueling was a little speechless, Zhu Qinxiang was so relieved that Yu Zhigao seemed to not plan to dig deep to the end, but planned to stop the matter. And Zhu Qinxiang made it clear that he learned the whole thing after receiving the complaint from Zhou Wenxi and Ao Tianxing, which was clearly to eliminate Yu Zhigao's doubts and clear himself up.

In this way, Yu Zhigao must believe that he is the one who disrupted his plan and is his enemy, and all his actions in the future will be directed against him.

Thinking of this, he felt even more cold. Zhu Qinxiang is worthy of being an old fritter who has been in officialdom for a long time, but he laughed that he was sold by him, and he had to help him count the money.

At this moment, his subordinate Li He suddenly shouted and said, "Where is Xu Xinsu?" Why did Xu Xinsu disappear? ”

Not only that, Li Zhunxing also shouted, "Why is Yang Tianlu gone, who sees them?" ”

Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed, "What? ”

Hearing that Xu Xinsu and Yang Tianlu were missing, Sun Yueling hurriedly mobilized his subordinates to search, but in the search of nearly 1,000 people in the entire square, there was still no trace of them, only Cai San, Zhong Liu and other Xu Xinsu's henchmen were still there.

Li He shouted: "Xu Xinsu must have taken advantage of the chaos just now to escape. After that, he pointed at Chen Xifan angrily and said, "It's all you, if you hadn't started the infighting, how could Xu Xinsu have taken advantage of the chaos to escape?" ”

Chen Xifan didn't have the indispensability just now at this time, and bowed down at the feet of Zhu Qinxiang with a panicked face, and said in a loud voice: "The last general is dull, the last general is dull, the last general really doesn't know that Zhang and Fu are colluding with each other, so he ordered Deputy Envoy Sun to besiege, causing the prisoners to take advantage of the chaos to escape, and the last general deserves death, please Futai Lord to punish the crime!" ”

Yu Zhigao was furious when he heard this, and he didn't care about Zhu Qinxiang's presence, so he rushed forward and kicked Chen Xifan on the shoulder, kicked him on the heel, and said angrily: "You stupid man who doesn't have long eyes, you dare to obstruct Deputy Envoy Sun, are you impatient?" He turned his head to Zhu Qinxiang and said, "Zhongcheng, Chen Xifan does not distinguish between right and wrong, and acts indiscriminately, which has ruined the major affairs of Deputy Envoy Sun, please punish him severely, and he cannot be tolerated!" ”

Zhu Qinxiang looked at Yu Zhigao, who was angry, and said with a smile: "General Chen is a person from the Dusi Mansion and a subordinate of the Dudu, I think he originally had good intentions in this matter, but he did bad things with good intentions, so he let the thief escape by taking advantage of the chaos." Forget it, let's not take it as an example! ”

Zhu Qinxiang's words gave Yu Zhigao enough face, and Yu Zhigao hurriedly said "Your Excellency is wise", pointed at Chen Xifan and said: "Lord Futai spared you, but the governor can't spare you, punish you with a cane of thirty, and demote you to a general in Quanzhou." ”

Chen Xifan prostrate on the ground, regardless of the water stains on his body, he only knew that he would not stop kowtowing.

Sun Yueling saw all this in his eyes, and sneered in his heart - Yu Zhigao and Chen Xifan were clearly playing tricks, trying to cover up the truth about Xu Xinsu's inexplicable disappearance.

Xu Xinsu disappeared at the scene, which was a very strange thing. You must know that Xu Xinsu has been closely guarded by Sun Yueling's subordinates, if it wasn't for Chen Xifan who caused a riot at the scene, how could he disappear from under the noses of his subordinates?

Did Xu Xinsu and Yang Tianlu really take advantage of the chaos to escape? Sun Yueling was very unimpressed, it was very likely that Chen Xifan took advantage of the chaos at the scene to secretly cover their escape, and only their military could do this flawlessly.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling clearly understood in his heart that if Xu Xinsu did not escape, under his interrogation, he would inevitably confess to Yu Zhigao, the instigator behind the scenes, and now that Xu Xinsu has escaped, Zhang Ruzhen and Fu Dapeng have both died, then this matter will have nothing to do with him Yu Zhigao, let alone pull him off the horse.

Thinking of this, his heart was even clearer, and now it seems that the assassin who assassinated Fu Dapeng must also be Yu Zhigao's person, only in this way can the whole thing be completely buried.

Yu Zhigao is really an old fox, it seems that he has already learned the news when he led people to this Kaiyuan Temple, so he arranged it in secret, and when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he ordered someone to kill Fu Dapeng, and let Chen Xifan stir up the situation and cover Xu Xinsu's retreat. If it weren't for him, Sun Yueling, who controlled the whole situation, I am afraid that Chen Xifan would frame himself together with Zhang Ruzhen and Fu Dapeng and kill them all.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling only felt a chill on his back, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, he wants to fight with Yu Zhigao, the head of the snake, I am afraid that in the future, I will have to fight with the spirit of twelve points, and there is no room for negligence.

At this time, Yu Zhigao came over to Sun Yueling and said: "Deputy Envoy Sun is really an outstanding talent, sweeping away the darkness of officialdom and digging deep into the truth, it is great, I will definitely bring the matter of Deputy Envoy Sun's loyalty to the country to the imperial court, and ask for credit for Lord Sun!" ”

Sun Yueling smiled faintly and said: "The old general is serious, but it's a pity that he got away with Xu Xinsu and failed to dig this matter to the end, which makes me very sorry!" ”

"Oh?" Yu Zhigao's eyelids jumped, and he squinted at him and said, "Lord Sun caught so many fellow thieves and found out that Zhang participated in politics and paid for the affairs of the collusion with Xu thieves, don't you think this credit is not big enough?" ”

Sun Yueling's expression did not move, but he said: "These are just small fish and shrimp, if you want to fight, you must fight big fish, so as not to live up to the expectations of the saint for me!" ”

Yu Zhigao snorted and sneered at Sun Yueling: "I'm afraid that Deputy Envoy Sun won't be able to catch the big fish, and he will be buried in the turmoil of the sea, you have to be careful in the future!" ”

Sun Yueling didn't let Yu Zhigao look at each other at all, and said with a smile: "The old general cares, this envoy is naturally justified." ”

A cold light flashed in Yu Zhigao's eyes, his face instantly became cold, and after staring at Sun Yueling for a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Deputy Envoy Sun has such an idea, and the governor feels very pleased." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at him and walked over to Zhu Qinxiang.

Sun Yueling looked at Yu Zhigao's angry back, and knew in his heart that the two of them had completely broken up, and there was no possibility of repairing the relationship until the day when the winner was completely separated.

After returning to the Yamen, the next period of time will be the trial of this case. Due to the testimony of the twelve chambers of commerce in Fuzhou and the confrontation between Yan Siqi and others in court, the ins and outs of the whole matter were quickly investigated.

Xu Xinsu's subordinates confessed one after another, telling them how Xu Xinsu ordered them to frame Yan Siqi, how to rob Yan Siqi's cargo ship, and how to suppress the twelve chambers of commerce in Fuzhou.

The twelve chambers of commerce in Fuzhou burst into tears, accusing Xu Xinsu of his atrocious crimes on weekdays, and writing down all his sins and reporting them to the court. To the horror of all the officials involved in the trial of this case, Xu Xinsu not only persecuted the people of the Chamber of Commerce, forced them to buy and sell, but also forbade all maritime merchants to transnational trafficking, and all merchants had to sell the goods to him, and then he transferred them to the Dutch stationed in Taiwan, and then the Dutch distributed them to the countries of the Southeast Ocean.

This is too overbearing and outrageous. Originally, the free trade of various maritime merchants, not only shipped goods to Japan, Taiwan, but also to Manila, Luzon, Siam and other countries, Xu Xinsu's move was clearly to act for the Dutch, for the Dutch monopoly of the Ming trade, his behavior seriously damaged the national interests of the Ming Dynasty, so the traitor is no different from the traitor.
