Suddenly, Zhang Dashan, the chief of the guard, came in and whispered in Zheng Chenggong's ear: "General, Zeng De asks to see!" ”
Zeng De!
Zheng Chenggong saw that Zeng De had made great achievements in the capture of Xiamen, and treated him well.
The year before last, I wanted to appreciate him and transfer him to Shi Lang's subordinates in Taiwan to fight the autumn breeze, so that he could not only accumulate merits but also make extra money.
Why did he come here at this time?
Zheng Chenggong was a little puzzled, but he still asked someone to bring him in.
As soon as he entered the door, Zeng De immediately knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
Zheng Chenggong saw it and said with a smile: "You guy, show it to others, you still think Lao Tzu is going to be the emperor!" Get up! ”
Zeng De got up and said with a smile: "In the minds of his subordinates, the eldest prince is much more noble than the emperor!"
Zheng Chenggong laughed and said, "Okay, your guy has a sweet mouth." Tell me, why did you suddenly come to me today! ”
Zeng De cried bitterly and shouted: "Big boy, the younger one wants to report Shi Lang for corruption and perversion of the law and deduct the soldiers' salaries!" ”
Zheng Chenggong was furious when he heard this, and said, "What, Zeng De, do you have any evidence?" Slandering an officer is a great crime! ”
Zeng De hurriedly cried and said: "The eldest son, even the ten dares who are small dare not expire the eldest prince!" After Shi Lang was promoted to the governor of Taiwan, he wantonly installed his cronies, and Shi Lang promoted his younger brother to the right pioneer town of Taiwan. His father, Shi Daxuan, was appointed as a general of the Chinese army, responsible for the logistics of the army. The father and son colluded with each other, acted in embarrassment, embezzled military salaries, and sold military rations privately. The eldest prince doesn't believe it, so he can send someone to check! ”
Zheng Chenggong said with a gloomy face: "I know about this matter, don't make a fuss, I will send someone to investigate secretly!" ”
Zeng De secretly came back from Taiwan to report Shi Lang, and now he must not be able to go back, Zheng Chenggong decided to recruit him into his own guard team to protect him.
Taiwan's Governor's Office, within two days, Zeng De disappeared and was discovered by the generals, who reported to Shi Lang.
Shi Lang was shocked when he heard this, and Shi Xian on the side shouted in a panic, "That little rabbit cub of Zeng De must have run back to Nanjing to tell the general." Brother, we're going to die now! ”
Shi Daxuan also shouted: "Son, Lao Tzu told you not to be so greedy, so I wanted to eat alone." Now Zeng De is dissatisfied and has gone to denounce us. What can I do now......"
After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he appointed Shi Lang as the governor of Taiwan, in charge of military affairs.
It was fine at first, but after a year.
There are not many pirates and foreign merchants in the East China Sea and the South China Sea who have been swept away by the Zheng family's navy, and now the sea is sailing with Chinese merchant ships flying the Zheng family's flag.
There are no pirates, no foreign businessmen, and Shi Lang's opportunity to make extra money is gone.
Greedy for money, he couldn't help the greed in his heart, and united his family to be greedy for military salaries.
At the beginning, Shi Lang was not so bold, so he knocked and beat to make some money.
Chen Yonghua saw that the amount was not large, and he was busy rectifying ethnic minorities, and he also needed Shi Lang's help, so he turned a blind eye to the matter of greedy ink.
Later, Chen Yonghua was transferred to the southwest, and the new governor was busy with government affairs and had no time to pay attention to the army.
Shi Lang's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of corruption is getting bigger and bigger.
Now the hole of corruption, Shi Lang can't fill it for a while.
Shi Lang also regretted it very much in his heart, damn it, he would have known that he wouldn't be so greedy and embezzle military salaries!
Shi Lang was already upset, but now he listens to his father Shi Daxuan and keeps arguing.
Shi Lang shouted: "Shut up! It's happened, now how do you want to deal with the aftermath! ”
Shi Daxuan said promisedly: "Then son, what do you have to do?" ”
Shi Lang pondered for a while and said: "The general has always been strict in governing the army, once he knows about it, I am afraid that we will definitely die." ”
As soon as he heard Shi Lang say this, Shi Daxuan thought that Zheng Chenggong even dared to kill his uncle, so he naturally believed what his son said, and then panicked, "What can I do, what should I do?" Or send the money back! ”
"Send it back, even if the general is willing to let us go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reuse it in the future!"
Shi Daxuan knew that his son had a plan since he was a child, and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
Shi Lang slashed down with his right hand and said fiercely: "Then strike first!" ”
"What, you're going to assassinate the general." Shi Xian was frightened by his brother's ruthlessness.
As soon as Shi Lang heard his brother's words, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's one thing to have a chance to kill Zheng Chenggong, even if we kill Zheng Chenggong, we won't survive." I mean to kill Zeng De, there is no proof of death, and Zheng Chenggong will not dare to get rid of us at that time! ”
Shi Daxuan heard it and asked: "But now that Zeng Dedu has gone to Nanjing, how can we kill him!" ”
Shi Lang said: "I am the governor of Taiwan, and I can't leave without an order. Father, you and Shi Xian took a few family members to Nanjing and found a way to kill Zeng De! ”
Hearing Shi Lang say this, Shi Daxuan thought that this was the best way.
He followed his father all the way to fight all the way, and he didn't dare to kill us without evidence. So the father and son got together and carefully discussed how to kill Zeng De.
Before the secret agents of the Investigation Bureau sent by Zheng Chenggong went to Taiwan, Shi Daxuan had already taken his son Shi Xian and two henchmen to Nanjing on a merchant ship.
Zeng De is now a member of the general's guard and needs to report every day.
On this day, Zeng De had just come out of his house and walked towards Huangming City, and when he just passed by the mouth of an alley, four people suddenly rushed up and surrounded him.
Zeng De saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away.
Seeing that Zeng De was about to escape, Shi Daxuan and the others hurriedly drew their sharp blades and wanted to hack him to death.
Zeng De slashed people a few times, and the blood flowed non-stop.
He also knew that the most important thing now was to save his life, Zeng De was desperately dodging, shouting for help over and over again!
Zeng De is also a veteran who has returned from the battlefield, and there are dozens of wounds on his body, but none of them are fatal.
Hearing the shouting, the guards of Huangming City hurriedly ran over.
Seeing the people from the guard coming, Shi Daxuan could only withdraw with his men.
As soon as Zheng Chenggong heard that in broad daylight, someone wanted to kill Zeng De.
Zheng Chenggong angrily smashed the ink table on the desk.
Shi Lang dared to kill people to destroy the evidence, it was simply lawless! (To be continued.) )
