Chapter 190: The Deal between the Commander and the Governor
Wang Huan's face remained unchanged, sitting upright like Mount Tai without moving, and replied in a deep voice: "The end will start from the end of the micro, born from the recklessness, from the hardships and dangers, from the hardships to know the soldiers, deeply feel that the country is in trouble, the country has fallen, so the most hated two kinds of people, one is the Hu Lu who invaded our China, they burned, killed and plundered, did all kinds of evil, and looked like ordinary people are really evil ghosts; The other kind of people are the Han people who take advantage of the chaos in the world to rob the fire, they either set up the mountain as bandits, or occupy the city and become the king, rob the house, rob the house, rob and destroy the door, are some inhuman beasts, and the most hateful of them is that as a court official, but secretly collaborating with the enemy to help the bandits, doing the pig and dog are not as good as the reluctance of the dog, forgetting the mighty imperial grace of the Holy Son of Heaven, forgetting to give birth to their own Ming people, these two kinds of people, are the most spurned miscellaneous pieces of the general, eager to swallow their flesh raw, such as the traitor Zeng Ying, who dared to negotiate peace with the thief privately, Behind the scenes, he also accepted the gold and silver property of the thief, in a vain attempt to betray the court and join the thief, such a disloyal and unrighteous person, the last general regardless of the meager troops, resolutely raised troops to recruit it, but the art of war cloud: the way to help the unrighteous and the unjust, although the last general is small, but there is the heart of the people of the world to help, it is tantamount to a million male soldiers, and the emperor is blessed, so a battle and the capture of this fang, flat Sichuandong, now Zeng Rebellion has been the last general to the stone pillar, good life to watch. ”
Hearing Wang Yingxiong's face change several times, from white to red, and then to blue, and at the end, it was as black as a piece of carbon.
At the end, Wang Huan did not forget to sprinkle a handful of salt: "The evidence of Zeng Fang's rebellion has been compiled into a book, and several large books have been ordered, which contain documents for his correspondence with the thieves, a list of gold and silver gifts received, and the witness testimony of embezzling the people's property and plundering the women of the people, etc., and other ironclad evidence, which will be sent to the governor for inspection the day after tomorrow." ”
Wang Yingxiong already had green tendons on his forehead, his liver was on fire, and the fire was imminent, if it weren't for his excellent cultivation, he would have jumped up and hit his head, this Wang Huan is so bold! grabbed his beloved general so alive, robbed his territory and beat him upside down, framed him, and didn't take himself as a governor in his eyes, is there anyone who doesn't know? Zeng Ying is a close confidant of this governor, and arresting him is equivalent to a slap in the face of Lao Tzu! Okay, if you catch it, grab it, grab it, and change a dog to bite people the same, at least you Wang Huan has to inform me, the governor of the three provinces, take refuge, and do it quietly, eat and wipe clean and don't admit it, is this going to rebel?
He puffed out his eyes and was about to do it, but he heard that Wang Huan hadn't finished speaking, and the last sentence came out without yin or yang: "But...... In the course of Zeng Fang's travels, the last general obtained a lot of correspondence documents and detailed account books of gifts sent to and fro, and found out that Zeng Fang had sent huge amounts of gold and silver to many senior officials in the court, and the last general copied a few copies and prepared to play the imperial court, and the list of characters in it was ......"
As he spoke, Wang Huan's eyes rolled and kept floating towards Wang Yingxiong, covering up and saying nothing, as if there was something unspeakable and inconvenient to say, that means that the fool understands that he is talking about Wang Yingxiong.
Wang Yingxiong's eyes bulged even rounder, staring at Wang Huan like a balloon that had been blown up, and he couldn't say a word in half a sound, he never thought that this Wang Huan would even dare to frame himself, he accepted Zeng Ying's money, but if he killed his head, he wouldn't believe that Zeng Ying would be so stupid, and he clearly listed the account records, which was obviously Wang Huan's ghost.
"How can it be!" Wang Yingxiong took a difficult breath and said angrily: "You make it clear, who is there?!" ”
"Don't be angry, the last general will not believe." Wang Huan hurriedly shook his hands, with an expression that you and I knew: "Zeng Fangli is fascinated, who knows whether he remembers it is true or not, no matter who it is, it is judged by the imperial court. ”
"However, the governor, if today's son is no longer the Hongguang Emperor, whether it is the king of Tang or the king of Lu, they are all the same as the governors, and the governors are in charge of the army, and the court is wrong, it is inevitable that some treacherous villains chew their tongues, and the last general will hear that even the He governors of Huguang have been pitted by the close ministers around the two prisoners, let alone you? Staring at the high position of the governor of the three provinces, there are a lot of people, if the general's performance falls into their hands, not to mention anything else, the sin of lax rule under the governor will at least be inevitable. ”
These words were not very respectful, they were simply naked threats, much more rude than the original words, but Wang Yingxiong did not expect to be angry, jumped up and stumbled with Wang Huan, but grabbed the armrest of the chair with both hands, narrowed his eyes, and even his expression eased slightly, and he actually sat down and thought deeply.
This is because of Wang Huan's words, when it comes to his weakness, Wang Yingxiong has a strong personality, although he has literary talents, he is arrogant and arrogant, he is stingy and selfish, his popularity in the court is not good, he only makes friends with big people who are beneficial to him, and has been appreciated by two generations of Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren, and is cited as a confidant, but he offended another group of friends such as the Donglin Party, after the fall of Zhou and Wen, he was expelled from the temple, and it was not until the Hongguang Dynasty that he was reactivated, but he just took office as the governor of the three provinces, and the Hongguang Emperor was arrested by the Qing soldiers, and he was hung alone outside, Now it is not very clear what the situation of the two prison offices in Fujian and Guangdong is, and they will not get the trust of the new master, so Wang Yingxiong is very nervous in his heart, and he values Zeng Yingcai so much, because although he is a scholar, he also understands that if there are soldiers in hand, the court will not dare to touch him...... It's miserable.
Thinking about it, Wang Yingxiong's face turned from black to blue, from blue to white, and finally became white, with cold sweat faintly breaking out on his forehead, and the hand holding the handrail became more and more forceful, and his nails were about to sink into the wood.
"Prison, prison country wisdom, will not listen to the villain's slander, no, it will be fine." Wang Yingxiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered to himself in a bit of distraction.
Wang Huan looked at him steadily, smiled, closed his mouth and didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, looking so insidious, like a weasel looking at a chicken, he could bite at any time.
Wang Yingxiong was stunned for a while, then turned his face, and now Wang Huan looked at him with a strange yin and yang, and suddenly came to his senses: What's wrong? This Wang Huan hasn't said who is on the list, why did he fall into his way? The courage immediately recovered a little, slapped the handrail, and shouted a little weaker: "General soldier Wang, quickly explain, who is on the list?" ”
Wang Huan laughed, and glanced at Xu Tiezhu, who was sitting down, Xu Tiezhu went out with his senses, and then said softly to Wang Yingxiong: "Your Excellency Governor, don't worry, who is on the list, is it important?" In the eyes of the last general, these are not big deals, the important thing is to stabilize the position of the adults, and establish the prestige of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan in the middle of the court, and no one can control the scene without adults. ”
Wang Yingxiong was stunned again, Wang Huan's attitude changed too quickly, and he couldn't figure out what he was going to do.
Before Wang Yingxiong could react, Xu Tiezhu had already come in with a stack of booklets, and there were four sergeants with big shoulders and round waists, carrying two huge iron boxes to follow, and entered the hall.
Wang Huan waved his hand, and the sergeant retreated, and then Wang Huan stood up, came to Xu Tiezhu's side under Wang Yingxiong's bewildered gaze, threw the stack of booklets to the ground, took out a fire fold, lit the paper and burned it.
Looking at the burning booklet, Wang Huan turned to Wang Yingxiong and smiled: "My lord, the last general will burn those lists, now, no one knows who is on the list, adults can rest assured." ”
Wang Yingxiong vaguely understood, looked at Wang Huan's gaze softened a little, but still had a reserved face, and said unhappily: "Mr. Wang, what do you mean?" ”
Wang Huan was still smiling, turned back to the iron box, lifted the lid of the box, and suddenly a dazzling white light rose into the sky, shining so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes, even in the daytime, the hall was lit with snow.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver, dedicated to the Governor's Excellency to talk about his heart." Wang Huan was like a god of wealth who fell from the sky, standing in the middle of the bright silver, and said loudly to Wang Yingxiong: "The last general wants to let the adults understand that what Zeng Ying can give you, I Wang Huan can do the same, what he can't give you, Wang Huan can still give it to you!" ”
Wang Yingxiong was stunned, he saw very clearly, the iron box was full of new silver ingots, not mixed with copper and iron, and the quantity was so huge, he hadn't seen it for a long time.
"Mr. Wang, this, this ......" Wang Yingxiong hesitated a little, and he couldn't speak in a daze.
Wang Huan took a few steps forward, came to him, looked at his eyes in a solemn voice and said: "My lord, don't be confused, as long as you are willing, I can give you this amount of silver every month in the future, even including rare treasures, pearls and stones, to help you gain a firm foothold in the court, make friends, and even sit on the top bunk." ”
Wang Huan took another step forward, almost against Wang Yingxiong's nose, he was taller than Wang Yingxiong, and looked at Wang Yingxiong with a kind of overlooking eyes, seeing Wang Yingxiong involuntarily take a step back, bent his knees into the chair, and sat down in vain.
"The last general has no other purpose, only to become an ally with the Governor, I have made meritorious contributions in foreign wars, and you are operating in the internal court, relying on each other." Wang Huan said slowly word by word, his tone was as serious as announcing an order: "There is only one ultimate goal, to let the future Yongli Emperor move to Sichuan!" ”
