Seeing the pile of white flowers that Ma Xinyi was still curled up on the threshold, Weng Tongshu frowned, and glared at Deng Erheng, the Texas state judge who followed behind him, with dissatisfaction. He didn't feel the slightest sense of schadenfreude now, but was a little sour, as if what he saw was not someone else's corpse, but what he might look like one day.
Don't look at the fact that he hated Ma Xinyi like Yuan Jiasan before receiving the letter from his younger brother and father, but afterwards, he secretly thanked Ma Xinyi for being able to let him "recuperate" at home safely. It is impossible for him not to see the deep meaning implied in the letters from the younger brother and the old father, they are actually warning him that he must leave a way back for himself, otherwise it will implicate the young and old in Changshu. Now that everyone is dead, it's too ...... to put the corpses here
Deng Erheng obviously understood what the envoy was dissatisfied with, he leaned close to Weng Tongshu's ear and whispered, "My lord, the situation is serious, and I dare not act without permission. Lord Futai is the confidant of the Queen Mother, and is relied on by the current king of parliament, if he is assassinated by the people around him so simply, it will inevitably be ...... to report to the imperial court."
Speaking of which, this Deng Erheng is not an unknown person. Speaking of the old man, it is not inferior to Weng Tongshu, his old man is Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Liangguang who was famous for his smoking ban in Guangdong with Lin Zexu. If we talk about Jinshi and Dilai, he is a few years younger than Weng Tongshu, which is far earlier than Weng Tongshu.
Thinking that he first went out of Chenzhou, Hunan, from the Hanlin Academy, and then took office as the prefect of Qujing, Yunnan, he also had a good time for a while. However, just when he had already heard that he was going to be promoted to Guizhou as the inspector, he was also unlucky in the "banditry". In order to evade the responsibility of failing to crack down on the rebellion, the governor concealed the truth, and only said that Qujing bandits were rampant, and he did not care about the fact that he risked his life to fight a bloody battle with the Huihui, accusing him of deliberately prevaricating and raising tigers in Qujing, and asked the imperial court to severely punish him. As a result, it was fortunate that there were friends in the capital who knew the roots, and they helped to maneuver in front of the emperor, although he was not arrested and questioned by Beijing, but the promotion must not be mentioned, not only that, but he was demoted to Texas.
What made him even more apprehensive was that when he left Qujing on the way to Shandong with unspeakable grievances, just when he was about to leave Yunnan, he was robbed of a clean light by a group of masked gangsters. Of course, when he arrived in Guizhou, someone secretly accused him, but in fact, it was not a bandit who robbed him, but it was obviously the Qing officers and soldiers guarding Yunnan. These officers and soldiers, with the help of the wolf-smoked civil unrest, used them as a cover to do evil things of robbing officials who came and went.
He had heard of officers and soldiers pretending to be bandits to rob past officials, but he never expected that they would rob him. Thinking of what a friend in the court said that Concubine Yi once used to treat him as a chicken in front of the emperor, and killed the secret words of those monkeys who scared and scared other monkeys who did not contribute to the court, Deng Erheng not only gave up the idea of impeaching and impeaching the thief who robbed him, but also vented the evil anger in his chest, but also became bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years. He didn't have a chance to meet the powerful person who used to be Concubine Yi and later was the Empress Dowager of the Curtain, and how many times could he be frightened to wake up from his sleep in the middle of the night just by his fantasy. Although the queen mother had removed the curtain, he was still worried, as long as she did not die for a day, he was afraid for twelve hours.
Weng Tongshu looked at Deng Erheng, who was cowering, and his heart moved. Also, although there is a shortage of war at the moment, it is difficult to say how many days Dezhou will be stable, after all, Ma Xinyi's death is related to the face of the Qing Dynasty. A dignified Futai adult, at this critical moment, did not die in front of the defense of the Qing Dynasty, but was planted under the pomegranate skirt of a filthy woman. Besides, a governor is so easy to kill? If the court investigates it, I'm afraid that he, the envoy, will not be able to get out of it. Thinking of this, he looked at the murderer who had been tied up by the officials on the side, and then at the pile of white meat on the threshold, and his brows jumped slightly.
"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Do you want to avenge Lord Futai......" Ma Daju, who was wrapped in a sheet of cloth, didn't know when and where he came out, and pointed at Weng Tongshu, who was thinking about it, pointing at Zhang Wenxiang, who was not the slightest panic, but also looked a little proud, crying with snot and tears, "It's all this thief, it was Master Futai who killed me, why didn't you kill him...... A thousand cuts cut him......"
Ma Daju broke his cry and cried, which frightened the defenseless Weng Tongshu to tremble. He glared at the woman in front of him, quickly stabilized his mind, and swept his gaze over Deng Erheng. As soon as he arrived here, Weng Tongshu roughly knew what had happened, and now, from Deng Erheng's eyes, he understood that this woman was the bane that caused the murder of Governor Ma.
"In front of the government, where is there a roar!" Weng Tongshu waved his hand viciously, "Come on, give me a palm!" ”
Before his words fell, without the help of the followers he and Deng Erheng brought, the henchmen of the Futai Yamen who were like wolves and tigers had already pounced, grabbed Ma Daju's hair, and opened the bow left and right to crack on Ma Daju's pink little face. The governor died tragically, there must be a new governor coming, and the new governor has the henchmen of the new governor, the henchmen of the former governor must be neglected, how many people have you Ma Daju harmed, and people with vested interests can not be red eyes with you.
"Enough!" Seeing that the servants were fighting endlessly, Weng Tongshu was so angry that he stomped his feet. What's it, tell you to fight, you can hit it a few times, it's really addictive, is it very majestic for a big man to beat a woman?
"Take this woman and the assassin to the front lobby together, and quickly settle Lord Futai first, and I am not afraid of hurting the face of the court like this." Weng Tongshu ordered Deng Erheng in a muffled voice.
Ma Xinyi's governor's hall temporarily became the place where Weng Tongshu decided the case. The Assassin Zhang Wenxiang Weng is no stranger to the same book, and he has also heard some about how Zhang Wenxiang used to keep up with Ma Xinyi's history. Naturally, he had already planned in his heart a wonderful plot about why Ma Xinyi, who would be reported to the imperial court in the future, was killed.
Zhang Wenxiang, a spy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, pretended to be defeated in Shouchun, mixed in with the rout of Dou Yihu's army, who really planned to defect to Ma Xinyi, deceived Ma Xinyi, and pretended to be positive, and gradually deceived Ma Xinyi's trust. After that, in order to undermine the internal unity of the Ma army, he plotted and planned to kill Dou Yihu, and instigated Ma Daju, a female bandit leader who was also a secret agent of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to lure Ma Xinyi with her beauty, in an attempt to steal top-secret military information about the defense line of the Russian allies at the Mache River. Because Governor Ma Xinyi was not moved by the woman, the two bandits became angry and killed Governor Ma when Governor Ma returned to the palace from the construction site of the Mache River to bathe.
In doing so, in fact, Weng Tongshu has his own private calculations. On the one hand, he dealt with the above and the outside world decently, on the other hand, Zhang Wenxiang and Ma Daju were both rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and if they killed them, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would gain power in the future and Texas would fall, which could be regarded as his contribution to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Even if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can't kill it, it doesn't hurt itself.
Weng Tongshu has a good scheming, Zhang Wenxiang also cooperates, no matter what Weng Tongshu asks, he just closes his lips and doesn't say a word. He felt that he had enough money, and no matter how much he said, it was useless, since he was waiting for a death sooner or later, it was more pleasant to die early than to die late. But when Weng Tongshu said that Ma Daju was an accomplice, Ma Daju quit.
Pushing Dou Yihu's death on Zhang Wenxiang's body, Ma Daju was really sorry, and his psychological face cheered and pressed the envoy to make the Lord Shengming. It can be said that she is a spy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and she also killed her governor master together, so how can she do it. If the master doesn't die, it won't be long before she will be an upright concubine in Futai, what a noble and loud identity is that, why would she kill the master and destroy herself?
Weng Tongshu doesn't care if Ma Daju is willing or not, dare to shout injustice? Immediately there is a big mouth waiting, see if you still shout no. Here Ma Daju was beaten with blood from his nose and mouth, and Zhang Wenxiang nodded to testify over there, and the iron case was like a mountain.
Not to mention that Weng Tongshu was in a hurry, as soon as Pryushenko heard the news of Ma Xinyi's assassination, he was so anxious that he almost fainted again.
If it were in normal times, let alone the death of a governor, even if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty died, Pryushenko would never take it to heart, let alone appear at the scene at the first time. In all fairness, he wished that all the people in this land were dead. As far as the eye can see, what's here? Except for the cursed mob, the scoundrels all over the ground, he couldn't even understand how in this world, how could such a garbage country still exist. What's more, he is still thinking about the big question of life and death of tens of thousands of tsarist soldiers.
But now it's different, he needs Ma Xinyi, an obedient pug. In the face of the Taiping Red Army, which was strong in attack and surging like a tidal wave, he not only needed an army like steel, but also needed the backbone of his army to support him in the back.
Pryushenko slipped into Ma Xinyi's Futai Yamen, and when he lifted the covered cloth sheet and saw the cold corpse of Ma Xinyi below, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of sadness in his heart. "Oh God......" he closed his eyes and gestured a cross on his chest. Then, he rushed to Weng Tongshu in a rage, pointed at his nose and shouted, "What bastard killed my most loyal friend?" ”
Weng Tongshu looked at the murderous Pryushenko blankly, he didn't understand what the other party was shouting. When the interpreter who followed Pryushenko like a tail said that sentence again, Weng Tongshu hurriedly knelt in the lobby Zhang Wenxiang and Ma Daju, "They are the spies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”
Flickering, Pryushenko only felt soft under his feet. What, a spy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? God, no wonder the fight ahead is such a mess, it's been a long time, and the problems are all here! There are miscellaneous pieces like you in the Tuxiao River to supervise Lao Tzu, and it is strange that the Taiping Red Army does not come over all at once.
Pryushenko, who was already beginning to feel sad in his anger, suddenly pulled out the short gun in his waist and rushed to Zhang Wenxiang's face, "Good you spy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" Before the others could understand, the short gun on Zhang Wenxiang's head exploded.
Zhang Wenxiang didn't have time to snort, and his back was on the ground. However, his ghost is still wandering leisurely in this hall, reluctant to leave. Maybe he is still regretting his wrong choice in the past, and perhaps, he wants to see how that lowly second sister-in-law goes to hell.
Pryushenko, who shot Zhang Wenxiang with one shot, picked up the female bandit who had shrunk into a ball like a madman, and the short gun just shook on the female bandit's head, and immediately froze in her hand.
A woman's natural beauty is not something that can be suppressed by bruises and blood stains casually.
