Chapter Twenty-Five: Good News Enters Nanjing

[If you want to see the image of the cartoon version of the reader of the love reader, pay attention to my WeChat public account: a few words of micro-words. 】

Zhang Pu soon stopped wondering.

A piece of news exploded in the crowd, causing all the scholars to blush, like drunken shrimp.

"Big win, big win! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovered Wuchang and destroyed Zhang Xianzhong's pseudo-Western Kingdom in one day! ”

"What a victory!"

Zhang Pu sat down on the ground with a puff, Fang Yizhi's body went soft, and he suddenly felt a burst of dizziness fall on Chen Zhenhui.

Just when Zhang Pu and the others were dizzy, Yu Xingjian's thunderous voice rang out: "The trial of the three law divisions is open!" ”

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

……

Dozens of water and fire sticks slammed to the ground, causing everyone's eyes to fall on the three law officials in the Heavenly Prison Court.

Tao Chongzhen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, looked at the situation in front of him, and the original panic had already been lost. When he knew that Zhu Cihong defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Wuchang and destroyed the puppet Western Kingdom in one day, Tao Chongzhen understood that Zhu Cihong was already invincible in this game.

As for Wu Jiaqian, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple on the side, Xie Hongyun, the imperial history of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, is also equally keen.

This time, the three of them glanced at each other, and it was customary for Wu Jiaqian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to be the presiding judge, and the two were the jury.

At this moment, Tao Chongzhen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, shouted: "Come on, bring the criminal officer Zuo Liangyu to the court!" ”

At this time, a group of onlookers finally saw Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Liangyu's son, Jin Shenghuan, Hao Xiaozhong, Wu Xueli and others.

Chen Zhenhui tried her best to pick up the two panicked friends, Mao Bijiang and Fang Yizhi, and said in a low voice: "Zuo Liangyu has come out." ”

Hear the name. Fang Yizhi and Mao Bijiang were stimulated by a soft thorn in their hearts and stood up. I want to see what it looks like to be the people they risk their wealth and reputation to save.

Zuo Liangyu was wearing a single dress, his eyes were blank and unfocused. There was a lifeless breath all over his body, a despair that knew that the day of his death had come.

Compared with the scholar who got up outside the prison, he knew about Zhu Cihong's march early.

On April 28, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong's troops had arrived at the Yangtze River outside Wuchang. At that time, the scholars of the Nanjing Upper and Lower Restoration Society were in turmoil, and Zhang Pu thought that he had a plan, so he tried his best to spread the news to Zuo Liangyu's hands.

Zuo Liangyu's next encounter was cruel.

He watched the jailer of the prison hand over Zhang Pu's news to him, and watched as the original jailer wiped out the four armies before and after Zhang Xianzhong in one day, and the puppet Great Western Kingdom established by Zhang Xianzhong in one day...... Regain Wuchang.

That day. Zuo Liangyu understood his ending.

Once, Zuo Liangyu was a brave general under the banner of the empire. This used to be before he betrayed Yang Sichang, when Zuo Liangyu understood that it would be more profitable to blackmail the officials and the court with military law capital than to fight to the death and be loyal to the court, Zuo Liangyu was no longer a general under the banner of the empire.

He became a warlord, a warlord who raised thieves and respected himself.

This thief was Li Zicheng at the beginning, so in the face of Zuo Liangyu's escape, he went down to the local officials in Huguang, Henan. When I went up to Chongzhen, I didn't dare to start. Zuo Liangyu's attempts to rob the people for supplies could not move the center.

After Li Zicheng was defeated by Zhu Cihong, this thief became Zhang Xianzhong again.

In Zhang Xianzhong's body, Zuo Liangyu seems to have rediscovered the familiar rules of the game.

Under his cowardice and connivance. Wuchang is in danger, and Wuchang's safety has become the capital for him and Zhu Cihong to confront the court.

Finally. Wuchang was breached. At that time, the ending seemed to be as Zuo Liangyu expected, and the city was in an uproar. The pressure could be pressed towards Zhu Cihong's body in an instant, allowing Zuo Liangyu to take advantage of the momentum. Restoring the glory of the once peaceful thief general can be extorted fiercely.

It is a pity that such a joyful illusion was shattered in less than a quarter of an hour.

He saw a person, this person's name was Zhang Yingyuan.

A rare general in the army who kills and plunders a rare general, but also an honest man who has few soldiers and is heavily excluded.

Zuo Liangyu guessed that this person betrayed him.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't make Zuo Liangyu lose confidence.

But he soon saw many more.

Now, when these people stood in the trial court again, Zuo Liangyu's heart was like ashes.

Fang Yizhi, Mao Bijiang and Chen Zhenhui didn't see the iron-clad Zuo Liangyu as expected, they saw a prisoner who exuded a heavy and dead air kneeling on the ground, not saying a word.

"Bring a witness!" Wu Jiaqian said.

An old man who was sixty or seventy years old was dressed in a white and white manner, and said in a trembling voice: "Have pity on my family, and do good deeds for generations...... did not die at the hands of the thief Zhang who killed all the way, but was killed by the official army and robbed three generations. ”

A weeping woman wailed, "This is the official...... At the beginning, it was he who robbed my family's fishing boat, and my man stopped him, and he was stabbed by the officers and soldiers...... It's you, you change my man's life! ”

"Not me...... Not me! Jin Shenghuan watched the woman rushing over, and retreated in surprise: "It was the little general who did it, not me......"

"Jin Shenghuan, you coward!" Zuo Mengeng roared angrily.

……

"Silence, silence!" Xie Hongyun filmed the case one after another: "Restrain Jin Shenghuan and Zuo Menggeng, don't make noise!" ”

There was a slight silence on the field.

But off the field, it was a stormy wave, which was even more powerful than Fang Cai.

"Is there really a sufferer? Did the officers and soldiers really rob the people? ”

"Come on an old man and a shrew, who knows if it's a fake?"

"I'm afraid it's true. I heard that the fugitive soldiers in Henan said that thieves were like combs, and soldiers were like grates. There is no royal law and morality in the looting of the officials and soldiers, and I am afraid that it will be even more ruthless. ”

"The third son of the Restoration Society, you won't take us to save a loyal minister and good general who killed and plundered the people, right?"

For a while, the discussion was suddenly divided into two halves, and only the three sons of the Fushe sat in it, listening to the buzzing sound in the left and right ears, and they were extremely impatient.

"Shen Kuntong! Others said that today you will come to save the left thief, I don't believe it, today, I didn't expect you to really come! At this moment, a young gentleman came to the court, but instead of bowing to the three judges, he angrily rebuked the scholars in the crowd.

was named by this person, and everyone split left and right in an uproar, revealing a stunned and overwhelmed man.

At this time, Huang Zongxi, who was in the crowd, sighed: "This is Shen Xuezhi of Qiupu, and Shen Kuntong is from Qiupu." ”

Qiupu is another name for Chizhou, and Chizhou is where Zuo Liangyu is stationed.

Hearing Huang Zongxi's explanation, everyone looked at it intently, obviously the dry goods were coming.

As for the three sons of the Restoration Society, Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui all chuckled in their hearts, and Qi Qi felt bad. (To be continued.) )
