Chapter 225: Dingshan Dongjiu
"Holy shit!" Zheng Tang's face was red and black, and the black was red, and he finally figured out the taste, and said hatefully: "Boss, these dogs want to kill our two brothers." β
"You've finally figured it out!" Su Baiyi smiled coldly.
The cold sweat on Pi Kuanglong's forehead flowed down again.
When I think about it, it turns out that this is the case.
At the beginning, the people above said that they were going to the Bohai Sea to rob and burn a cargo ship, and then the two brothers did it decisively, not only did they do it, but they also burned the entire cargo ship without leaving a piece of armor, and all traces sank into the sea.
But left and right didn't expect that this matter was discovered by the imperial history and reported to the imperial court.
None of this is the most suspicious place.
If it is really as Su Baiyi said, someone must have provided false news to the Imperial History, saying that the sailor fell into the hands of Kong Youde, and blamed Kong Youde for this matter.
Later, Kong Youde really captured the water division.
Under normal circumstances, after the rebels captured the water division, they would definitely kill the main general Liwei. Once he Pi Kuanglong and the guerrilla general Zheng Tang are killed, then all the clues will be broken cleanly, and the burning of the merchant ship will either be carried by the two brothers after they die, or it will be carried by Kong Youde, and it will have nothing to do with the person above.
Pi Kuanglong's back is wet!
Brutes!
Insidious!
The civil servants really don't have a good thing!
But the man did a lot of calculations, but he still missed a link.
"They didn't expect Kong Youde to kill the two of you, but just put you in prison temporarily!" Su Baiyi smiled lightly: "Moreover, what you don't know is that the merchant ship is an ordinary merchant ship, and there are not many mysteries, the reason why they want to loot and burn it is because there is a court official on it." β
"What...... How dare they ...... This is a rebellion! After Zheng Tang listened to Su Baiyi's words, he was almost out of breath.
Killing the court officials and then blaming the Denglai sailor is simply madness, this is to put the entire sailor to death.
Moreover, in order to cover up the truth, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire sailor.
"Your Excellency!" Zheng Tang raised his head and looked at Su Baiyi: "I said, all the officials said." β
"The lower officials also said everything!" Pi Kuanglong couldn't stand it.
"No hurry!" Su Baiyi waved his hand and motioned to Jinyiwei to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and paid each of them a copy, so that they could write out the entire incident in detail.
Not only did they write out the process of the incident, but after they finished writing, the two also signed and pressed their handprints.
For the sake of insurance, Su Baiyi also asked more than 20 Jinyi guards who were witnessing in the room to sign as witnesses.
didn't use a torture instrument, nor did he coerce and intimidate, but just tore apart the conspiracy and tricks of the civilian clique and showed it to the two generals, and the two big bosses made all moves.
"Spare your life!" After Pi Kuanglong and Zheng Tang confessed, they immediately fell to their knees again.
After Su Baiyi got the confession, he didn't rush to look at it, but said with a smile: "I can't be the master of this matter of whether I can spare my life or not, and I will wait until the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to talk about the crimes you have committed and today's meritorious performance, whether you are alive or dead." Besides, the official has to avoid suspicion! β
"Avoiding suspicion?" The two of them couldn't figure it out.
"Yes, avoid suspicion!" Su Baiyi said: "I'm afraid the two generals don't know that the court official on the merchant ship that the two people tried so hard to loot and burn on the 26th of last month is this official!" β
"Ah......" Pi Kuanglong was kneeling on the ground, but after hearing this, his body shook and he almost fell down: "Big, big, my lord is really, it's really ......"
"Your Excellency, your lordship!" Zheng Tang took over the conversation with some helplessness
Su Baiyi smiled slightly and stood up: "I'm afraid you two don't even know who you want to burn, come, officially get to know each other, the contemptible surname is Su, and Su Baiyi of Defu is returned!" β
"What?" Pi Kuanglong's eyes widened, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and scolded: "The dog thief hurt me!" β
Su Baiyi's name has now spread almost throughout the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows it. Although some hated him, some had a good impression of him, and some of them hung up on him without caring about themselves.
But no matter what, there is one fact that cannot be denied: the emperor's favor.
Such a person, no matter who wants to cause harm, once it is daylight, no matter how high your merit is, you can't escape one word: death!
Pi Kuanglong and Zheng Tang passed out at that time.
Su Baiyi picked up the two confessions, read them carefully, and when he finished reading them, his face darkened.
There is a mastermind!
But it's not the big hand behind it.
Pi Kuanglong and Zheng Tang confessed the same people, at that time, there were two people who sent a letter to the Denglai sailors to order them to go to the sea to rob and burn merchant ships, namely Tao Hualong, a general of Shandong, and Shen Tingyu of the Chinese army.
There are two big officials who have surfaced, but they are still two military attachΓ©s!
Su Baiyi took a deep breath, a complicated gaze flashing in his eyes.
He called the Dengzhou officials again and asked, Shen Tingyu and Tao Hualong led four or five thousand troops to attack Dengzhou Mansion after the death of the general soldier Zhang Keda, and retreated to Jinan Mansion after being defeated by Kong Youde.
Jinan is located in the western part of Shandong, and the entire Denglai rebellion went to the Shandong Peninsula, that is, in the east, so there was no way to arrest Shen Tingyu and Tao Hualong for the time being. The news of Dengzhou's recovery and his Su Baiyi's life is always hidden for a long time, and once the news spreads, I'm afraid things will change unexpectedly.
So although Jinan is far away, we have to find a way to arrest these two guys.
The whip is out of reach, so I can only turn to the emperor for help!
wrote a secret letter and handed it to the accompanying Jinyiwei, and directly flew the pigeon to pass the letter to the commander of the Jingshi Jinyiwei.
β¦β¦
Jingshi, Imperial City, Kunning Palace!
Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on a very ordinary chair, with his eyes closed and a tired face.
Queen Zhou ran over and squatted beside her in distress, and said while beating Zhu Youzhen's back: "Your Majesty's dragon body is the body of ten thousand gold, you should pay more attention to your body at ordinary times, if the master of ceremonies Wang Chengen does not serve well, the concubine will beat him sooner or later!" β
"Don't blame him!" Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes and smiled reluctantly, closed them again, sighed and said in a low voice: "In the early dynasty, there was a report from Liaodong, saying that Hongtaiji was building a temple on a large scale, and the shape was like a temple, and I am afraid that he has the heart to be the emperor!" β
Nurhachi established the Dajin State and called himself the Great Khan, but the bureaucratic system was still the same as that of ethnic minorities, and then gradually influenced by Han culture, but he never founded the country and became the emperor.
If Huang Taiji is the emperor, then there will be two emperors in the world.
This matter, as the emperor, Chongzhen couldn't bear it in his heart, so after hearing the news, he looked very tired.
"Alas!" Empress Zhou sighed, cheered up again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, isn't it time to transfer troops to prepare to encircle and suppress Shandong, once Shandong is pacified, you can wave your army to the north, and the Manchurian Tartars are definitely not the opponent of our Ming Dynasty." β
"Hehehehehe!" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "You will say good things to make me happy, but how can it be so easy." The Shandong Rebellion has been deeply eroded, and even if the imperial court sends troops, it will not be able to be immediately pacified. Besides, the sword and soldiers consume money and food together, and the treasury really can't stand the toss. β
After a long pause, Zhu Youzhen said again: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Su!" β
The queen didn't dare to answer, but silently helped him knead his shoulders.
At this moment, Wang Chengen, the boss of the ceremonial supervisor, personally ran over out of breath and said at the door of the main hall of Kunning Palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, good news, Lord Luo is back." β
"Ahh Zhu Youzhen jumped up from the chair with a spirit, full of energy, and said, "Luo Yangxing is back?" β
"I'm back, I'm waiting in the Qianqing Palace at the moment!"
"Let's go, help me get over!" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt a backlash of blood in his chest, and his face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Doctor Chuan!"
Wang Chengen and the queen were flustered.
Zhu Youzhen calmed down from the state of fainting just now, waved his hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, I just had some mood fluctuations just now, but now I am much better." Wang Chengen, help me to go to the Qianqing Palace. β
"Your Majesty!" Empress Zhou pulled Zhu Youzhen's sleeve, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty is sick, and I will see you again tomorrow!" β
"No way!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "It involves Mr. Su, I have to be in a hurry, Luo Yangxing came back, he must have brought Mr. Su's news, and I can't wait for a moment." β
"Not bad!" Wang Chengen said: "What Lord Luo said is the good news of Mr. Su. β
"Then the concubine will go with you!" Queen Zhou really didn't worry about Zhu Youzhen's body, so she had to follow.
Wang Chengen's face was a little bitter, and he said in a low voice: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules!" β
"What rules are not in order!" Zhu Youzhen stared at Wang Chenen and said, "The queen is worried about my body, so she wants to take care of her." Besides, I'm not going to see those ministers in the cabinet, Luo Yangxing is his own family, so it's okay. After speaking, he coldly threatened: "If you let the courtiers know that the queen is going to the Qianqing Palace, I will drag you out and castrate you again." β
"Slaves don't dare!"
Several people hurriedly came to the Qianqing Palace, and Luo Yangxing had been waiting for a long time.
"Quick!"
Zhu Youzhen gave an order, and Luo Yangxing, who was waiting in the side hall, hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Your Majesty, good news, good news!" Luo Yangxing fell to his knees, raised his head and was about to report to work, when he saw the queen and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair at the same time, and was stunned.
"Forehead ......" Zhu Youzhen touched his nose: "I am sick, the queen is worried, Lord Luo doesn't have to be surprised!" β
Luo Yangxing is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, not those ministers, so he will not fight with the emperor for any etiquette, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister lived up to Your Majesty's trust and found Mr. Su on a deserted island in the Bohai Sea. β
"Did you really find it?" Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned.
"I found it, Mr. Su is unscathed!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Youzhen laughed and said, "I said yes, Mr. Su is a protector of the country given to me by Emperor Taizu, where is it so easy to die." It can be seen that there is destiny in the underworld, and Emperor Taizu's spirit in the sky is also blessed. After speaking, he didn't feel that he was out of shape, and asked again: "What about Mr. Su, have you ever brought it back to Jingshi?" β
Luo Yangxing bowed his head and said, "No!" β
"Have you ever sent someone to escort you back to Defu?"
Luo Yangxing said: "Not yet! β
"Then sir, she!"
"Your Majesty, forgive your sins!" Luo Yangxing took out the recital written by Su Baiyi from his arms and presented it: "Mr. Su's recital for Your Majesty, please read it for Your Majesty." β
