Chapter 65: You're Plundering
"Sun Mao, you said that Wang Yu secretly colluded with the Jurchens and betrayed the country, so let's talk about it, what evidence have you found, show Ben Shuai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Mao coldly.
"Evidence...... I haven't found ...... yet," Sun Mao said embarrassedly.
"Sun Mao, the men and horses under your command are the combat troops of the imperial court, not the local people, you have no evidence, and you have not asked the chief soldier Li Huaixin for instructions, so you raided Wang Yu's house without authorization, who gave you the courage! If rewards at all levels follow suit, wouldn't Liaodong be a mess! What is the difference between what you do and what you do and what you do? Xiong Tingbi shouted angrily.
In fact, last time, Mao Wenlong also sent troops to raid Tang Zhen's house without authorization, but Mao Wenlong had evidence, and after planting the sputation, he reported it to Li Huaixin in time and gave Li Huaixin a big credit, from which there were many benefits, so Li Huaixin also acquiesced in the matter. It was he who transferred troops to do it.
After all, such a great credit, together with Xiong Tingbi, is shared, and the military general's meritorious service, regardless of Xiong Tingbi's participation, as a Liaodong strategy, at least half of the credit will be shared.
So no one is going to pursue the matter anymore.
However, this time Sun Mao's troops were different, and both the combat units and the localities commanded the troops of the envoys, and that was the division of power and responsibility. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess. Li Huaixin, as the chief soldier, can also manage it if there is evidence, but you Sun Mao is not the commander of the envoy, and you didn't ask Li Huaixin for instructions, so you sent troops without authorization, and before you even found the slightest evidence, you copied people's homes, how old are you? If generals at all levels do this, then the common people will still have to work.
"Dashuai...... The ...... of the last general, Sun Mao didn't know how to answer at all, and Xiong Tingbi also buckled two big hats for him, and he overstepped his authority and sent troops and plundered the troops without authorization, which was definitely enough to correct the law on the spot.
You must know that Xiong Tingbi is the strategy of Liaodong, the biggest official in Liaodong, who controls civil and military affairs, and has the sword of Shangfang given by the emperor. Don't say that Sun Mao is a guerrilla general, even if he dismisses the general army, it is basically a matter of one sentence. And a guerrilla general is basically cutting and cutting.
"Someone! Take Sun Mao down, and pass on my commander's order, go to Sun Mao's military camp, and release Wang Yu's family. When I return to Liaoyang, I will punish Sun Maoming canonically! Xiong Tingbi said sharply.
"Yes!" A herald agreed, took the arrow, and was going to lead people to Sun Mao's military camp.
Another guard took it down, and it was tied with ropes. Listening to Xiong Dashuai's meaning, after going back, he will be punished, which is basically a cut.
Sun Mao was shocked, quickly knelt on the ground, and cried and said: "Dashuai, the last general has been wronged!" ”
"You have exceeded your authority and perverted the law, arson and plunder, what is the wrong?" Xiong Tingbi asked angrily.
"Dashuai...... This shouldn't be my business, it was the tax supervisor Gao Gonggong who said that Wang Yu colluded with the Jurchens and asked me to send troops to raid Wang Yu's home...... The last general is helpless, and this is the ...... of the troops," Sun Mao said eagerly.
He also knew that Xiong Tingbi was powerful, and he couldn't hide it, if he didn't tell the truth, he was afraid that after he went back, he would have to be cut by Xiong Tingbi.
Xiong Tingbi governs the army strictly, and there is no sand in his eyes, as long as the crime is enough to cut, it will not be tolerated.
"Gao Huai is just a tax supervisor, and Wang Yu has no tax arrears, what should he do? In addition, even if he found out that Wang Yu colluded with the Jurchens, why didn't he go to the chief soldier Li Huaixin, but asked you to lead the army, how old are you? Xiong Tingbi asked angrily again.
"I don't know why Grandpa Gao is looking for me...... Sun Mao said crying.
"Then why didn't you report to Li Huaixin and send troops without authorization?" Xiong Tingbi pointed at Sun Mao and asked loudly.
"It's Gonggong Gao who won't let me tell the general soldier......" Sun Mao looked aggrieved.
"According to what you say, Gao Huai is your top boss, and you don't have to belong to Ben Shuai and Li Huaixin?" Xiong Tingbi asked coldly.
"The last general will never mean that...... It's just that the last general won't dare to offend Grandpa Gao......" Sun Mao continued to cry.
In fact, when Gonggong Gao ordered Sun Mao to raid Wang Yu's home, Sun Mao didn't dare to go, after all, Gonggong Gao was angry by Li Huaixin in the General Military Mansion, and it had already spread all over Liaoyang, and Sun Mao also got the news, how dare he send troops without authorization. In case Wang Yu is Li Huaixin's person, he goes to raid other people's homes, and then he doesn't need Li Huaixin's hands to mix in the future.
However, Sun Mao's usual lack of virtue did not do less, and he was caught by Gao Gonggong, who used this to threaten him, and promised that as long as he copied Wang Yu's home, he would definitely be able to make a confession. When the time comes, what are you afraid of Li Huaixin, our family will report to the Son of Heaven, ask for credit for you, and keep you able to be promoted. And with our family covering you, what can Li Huaixin do to you?
When Sun Mao heard this, he also felt that this was reasonable, and it was indeed the case. In fact, he is ready, even if Li Huaixin comes to the door, he can push the matter onto Grandpa Gao. Even if Li Huaixin didn't give it to Grandpa Gao, he wouldn't dare to confront Grandpa Gao head-on.
But he didn't expect that this incident would directly alarm Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi is not a person who is used to problems. If you don't raise your father-in-law, you may be better, but if you mention your father-in-law, you can't be scolded directly. But now, there is no way, he can only use Gao Gonggong as a shield, hoping that Xiong Tingbi can look at Gao Gonggong's little face and show mercy to his subordinates.
"Don't even dare to offend a castration, so what's the use of you? This account will be talked about when I return to Liaoyang! After Xiong Tingbi finished speaking angrily, he shouted: "Hurry up and release people!" ”
"Yes!" The herald said yes, and he was leaving.
Wang Yu was worried that something would happen to them, so he hurriedly said: "Dashuai, the villain is worried about the safety of his family, can you let the villain follow." ”
"It's fine." Xiong Tingbi nodded, looked at Li Huaixin again, and said, "You go with you!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Li Huaixin clenched his fists and followed on the war horse.
At that moment, Wang Yu, Li Huaixin and the herald went together. Wang Yu's subordinates were also worried that something would happen to Wang Yu, and they were not official soldiers, so they didn't have to obey Xiong Tingbi, so they rode together to accompany Wang Yu.
Xiong Tingbi is a person who loves talents, and when he saw this scene, he didn't stop it. After all, Li Huaixin didn't come by himself, and with the guards by his side, he wouldn't make any big trouble. He took Mao Wenlong, Lu Youwei and other generals to Liaoyang to travel slightly.
Wang Yu and others galloped all the way, Sun Mao was a guerrilla general, with three or four thousand men under his command, and the soldiers and horses were not stationed in the outer city, but in the open land outside the city. His military camp is at the west gate of the city, which is really some distance from here.
When they came to Sun Mao's barracks, it was a little dark, and as soon as the soldiers guarding the camp saw the men and horses coming, some of them were still wearing cloth clothes, they immediately shouted loudly: "What people! Get your name in! ”
"You're blind! General Li came in person, and he didn't welcome him! Li Huaixin's guard captain shouted directly.
In front of Xiong Tingbi, Li Huaixin had to shrink, let alone the captain of the guard. But after leaving Xiong Tingbi and going to other places, let alone the captain of the guard, even the guards were quite arrogant.
Sure enough, this voice settled, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door were startled, and hurriedly knelt on one knee and shouted: "See the general!" ”
Li Huaixin and the others came to the door of the barracks in a blink of an eye, and Li Huaixin pointed the horsewhip in his hand at a soldier and shouted: "Where are the people arrested by Sun Mao locked up?" ”
"This ......" The soldier was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the chief soldier to come up and ask this question.
Seeing that he did not answer in time, the captain of the guard raised his hand with a whip and scolded angrily: "The general asked you, you are dumb!" ”
"In, in the back camp......" The soldier shuddered with fright and hurriedly said.
"Lead the way!" Li Huaixin said loudly.
"Yes...... the soldier didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran inside.
Li Huaixin, Wang Yu and others followed on horseback and rushed towards the rear camp with the soldiers.
At this moment, in a tent in the back camp, Gao Gongcheng was sitting and drinking tea, and there were little eunuchs waiting by his side.
At this moment, a young man hurried in, and as soon as he entered, he said eagerly, "Father-in-law...... Oh no? ”
"What's all the fuss, what's not good!" Gao Gonggong shouted angrily.
"Li Huaixin rushed in with the guards, and immediately went to the back camp, looking at the posture, it looked like he was going to eat people!" The young man hurriedly said.
"Huh?" Gao Gonggong was startled, then stood up and said loudly: "Let's go meet him and see what he means." ”
After speaking, he walked out, but he didn't take two steps, he suddenly stopped, beckoned the little eunuch to his side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
The little eunuch nodded again and again, and then ran out. Gao Gonggong walked out of the camp tent, and not long after he went out, he saw Li Huaixin leading people into the back camp with a fierce attitude.
Gao Gonggong shouted angrily: "What is General Li doing here? ”
When Li Huaixin heard his voice, he had no choice but to take his war horse, and immediately rushed to his father-in-law Gao with a fist, and said: "On the order of Xiong Jinglu, I came here to release Wang Yu's family, I don't know what my father-in-law is doing here?" ”
"Huh?" As soon as he heard Li Huaixin say that he came on Xiong Tingbi's order, Gao Gonggong couldn't help but be shocked, he never dreamed that this incident would alarm Xiong Tingbi.
The reason why he asked Sun Mao to raid Wang Yu's mansion was because he found that Wang Yu did not come back after leaving with the caravan. Therefore, Gao Gonggong decided that Wang Yu must have fallen for Tong's strategy and went to Black Tiger Mountain to trade, probably because he was ready to play black again.
In the eyes of Gao Gonggong, if Wang Yu goes to Black Tiger Mountain, he will definitely die. After waiting for a few days, Gonggong Gao still didn't find Wang Yu coming back, and he estimated that Wang Yu basically died in Black Tiger Mountain. Now that Wang Yu is dead, the money in Wang Yu's family must be recovered, and the people in Wang Yu's family must also be cleaned up. In addition, in order to clean up Li Huaixin, Lu Youwei and others, in order to avenge the revenge of the day before yesterday, he also came up with a more ruthless idea, that is, to torture the people in Wang Yu's family and torture them to extract confessions, so that these people would admit that Wang Yu colluded with the Jurchens. And I once asked Li Huaixin and others to borrow troops but didn't lend them, so you people must have colluded with Wang Yu, and you are also secretly colluding with Nurhachi. At that time, we will report to the Son of Heaven together to see how you die. Let you offend Lao Tzu, this time let you all know how powerful!
