Chapter 434: Suicide
Tan Lun heard that Hu Zongxian was implicated in the case, so he immediately put down the wine glass and couldn't drink it anymore.
He got up and walked around irritably, having been an official in Zhejiang for many years, Tan Lun knew how deep the water in the southeast was, and all kinds of forces were intertwined, dumping each other, with open guns and hidden arrows, and there were countless numbers.
Even if Tang Zhuangyuan, who controls the traffic line and the village bravery, and has countless gentry standing behind him, it is inevitable that he will be plotted, not to mention others, in such a sinister environment, he still has to control the overall situation, and he has to complete the great cause of resisting the Japanese.
If Hu Zongxian is involved in the case, the southeast, which has finally settled down, will fall into a crazy mode of changing governors, and the established strategy will be pushed again and again, and the anti-Japanese situation that has been reversed will collapse again.
Tens of millions of lives have been devastated, and even ten thousand times worse than the previous situation.
The more Tan Lun thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost roared: "You must protect Hu Butang, if he falls, half of the sky will fall in the Ming Dynasty!" β
If you make a sound, all you get is a squeak, Tang Yi drank the wine in the glass, grabbed the duck head, and munched on it.
Tan Lun saw it in his eyes, he was so angry that he went crazy, Tang Yi, this kid is getting more and more heartless, you can still eat at this time!
Syllable!
"Tang Xingzhi, are you going to sit idly by?" Tan Lun shouted with red eyes.
Tang Yi was still unsatisfied, threw the half-gnawed duck head on the table, wiped his hands, and asked, "Brother Zili, I will do whatever you ask me to do, you say." β
"I said? What do you want me to say? β
Rao is unparalleled in wisdom. Tan Lun was also dumbfounded, if he really had an idea, he wouldn't be mad with Tang Yi. What kind of temper does Zhao Zhenji have, that is the person who hit the south wall and doesn't know how to turn back, the old master didn't look down on Hu Zongxian in the first place, and caught the handle. That's not going to let go.
Tan Lun held his head in pain, Tang Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and asked, "Brother Zili, you tell me the truth, is Cai Tonggui's confession true or false?" Did Hu Zongxian smuggle it? β
Tan Lun was stunned for a moment, "It's hard to say this." β
Tang Yi patted his buttocks, got up and was about to leave, since you don't tell me the truth, why should Lao Tzu help you. He had just taken two steps. Tan Lun took an arrow step and stopped Tang Yi.
"Okay, you misunderstood, I mean, I don't know if there is." Tan Lun sighed, "Okay, I'll be honest with you, in addition to Xiangyong and the original soldiers in the southeast, there are guest soldiers from Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangxi, Shandong, Henan and other places. These guest soldiers don't work without pay, and they will loot everywhere. However, the salary given by the imperial court was not enough, and Hu Butang had to find a way to make up for it. In addition, to deal with the elusive Japanese bandits, you have to buy fine works, and even bribe some of the leaders of the Japanese pirates, and these money cannot be asked for from the imperial court. You can only make up your mind in the military salary, and deduct some of it, and if it's not enough, you can ......."
Tan Lun couldn't go on. Tang Yi understood, as the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, not to mention the intricacies of the southeast, you need to do too much private work, Hu Zongxian must have his own small treasury, seize some in the war, and collect some in the name of skillfully, of course, it is also possible to do some business secretly and make a profit.
This kind of thing is a helpless move, but they can't talk to Qingliu, they have already identified Hu Zongxian as a strict party, a person who bends the law for bribes, and everything he does, he is to blame at every turn, and he is bound by his hands.
It's no wonder that Hu Zongxian was so helpless when he saw him.
"Alas, Brother Zili, it's useless for you to tell me these things, you have to find Lord Zhao to do it."
Tan Lun pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, it's really not a secret, the day before yesterday I took the time to talk to Lord Zhao and persuaded him not to affect the innocent, guess what Lord Zhao said, he said that there is no innocence if he violates the law of the country, and his old man must handle it impartially and sweep away the filth in the southeast!" β
"What a big breath!" Tang Yi secretly said in his heart: "Zhao Dazhou, Zhao Dazhou, if you really do this, you are the one who was not swept away first!" β
"Brother Zili, so far, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." Tang Yi thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Zili, what kind of attitude do you say about Xinxue?" β
As soon as Tang Yi's words came out, Tan Lun's eyes lit up.
Although Xinxue is in an opposition position, most of the gentry in the southeast believe in Xinxue, and if they don't mention Yang Minggong, they won't speak. Zhao Zhenji didn't listen to Tan Lun, but he couldn't care less about the pressure of the organization!
Speaking of which, the Xinxue faction is also very contradictory in matters in the southeast.
They are disgusted with the seamen eating dry and clean, and hope that the seven surnames will be unlucky, but at the same time, they are too deeply involved with the seven surnames, for fear of falling into it.
The same is true for Hu Zongxian, they emotionally oppose Hu Zongxian, a strict party, and also dislike him for being tyrannical, but the problem is that only Hu Zongxian can support the overall situation in the southeast, and if Hu Zongxian is brought down, the Japanese will be even more rampant, and they will be the unlucky ones at that time.
The whole thing is a dead end, and it is not easy to express his position, he is in a dilemma, how to take care of the balance, which makes Tan Lun worried.
Tang Yi also had no idea, he sat on the chair, looked around, and suddenly found a painting hanging on the wall.
"Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching."
The iron painting silver hook, the force through the back of the paper, quite skillful.
Tan Lun noticed Tang Yi's gaze and said casually: "If you like Xingzhi, I will give it to you, this is given to me by Banzhou Gong three years ago, speaking of which, Banzhou Gong also respects Xingzhi, and it is not an insult to give it to you." β
Suddenly, Tan Lun's face changed, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his head, and Tang Yi saw that it was not a word, but a person!
A person who can intercede for Hu Zongxian, and Zhao Zhenji doesn't dare to refuse!
Who?
Zhang Jing Zhang Banzhou!
Since Tang Yi rescued the old man with an elephant turtle and a hundred flowers and fairy wine, Zhang Jing returned to his hometown in Fujian, closed his door to thank guests, and devoted himself to teasing his grandson and recuperating in his old age.
This is always a senior, but also in the southwest and Yang Ming Gong fought side by side, protΓ©gΓ© of the old officials, friends all over the world, among the gentry in Fujian, has great appeal.
Moreover, the fall of Zhang Jing and Hu Zongxian played a disgraceful role in fueling the flames. When others speak for Hu Zongxian, Zhao Zhenji can not care, but when Zhang Jing speaks, Zhao Zhenji can't not care!
If even Zhang Jing can give up his old hatred and think that Hu Zongxian wants to protect it, who can let Hu Zongxian get out!
Tan Lun thought about it, and felt more and more that Zhang Jing was the best candidate.
"Okay, sure enough, you have a lot of ideas, it's great, I'll ask people to invite the boss immediately."
Tang Yi was still a little hesitant: "Brother Zili, Banzhou Gong is as jealous as hatred, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, can he come?" β
"Yes!" Tan Lun said categorically: "The boss has the world in his heart, and he values Li Min's life more than anything else, as long as he knows the righteousness, the boss will come." He rolled his eyes and added, "If only he could write a letter, it would be even better!" β
Tang Yi couldn't help but be angry, who didn't know that the more people were used, the thinner and thinner they became, they ran to Quanzhou to open the sea, and in the face of the obstruction of the seven surnames, Tang Yi was reluctant to ask the old gentleman to come forward to help, now it's good, in order to protect Hu Zongxian, but he wants to invite Zhang Jing out, just think it's for the southeast!
Immediately came to pen and ink, Tang Yi thought about it for a while, and then wrote a deep letter, in which Tang Yi mentioned that before Hu Zongxian was impeached, he gave himself a mouthful, and he was also forced to be helpless, and asked the old man to think about the common people in the world......
After a letter was written, Tan Lun called his cousin and asked him to deliver the letter, and Tang Yi also told Tang Hezheng to go with him, after all, Zhang Jing still had to sell Tang Shun a trace of face.
After the two of them did this, they acted like they were all right, Tang Yi accompanied Zhang Jing to handle the case, and Tan Lun was waiting for Yan Maoqing.
For Tang Yi, he knew how wrong he was, so he simply closed his mouth, Zhao Zhenji did whatever he wanted, and when he was fine, he honestly looked at the official document and never expressed his opinion.
Gradually, Zhao Zhenji also noticed that Tang Yi did have some powerful features, such as Hai Rui is a cadre, nibbling on black cakes and drinking cold water, he can stay up all night for three or five consecutive nights, and he is as energetic as a cow.
As for Tang Yi, this kid should eat and drink every day, take a nap at noon, and can't see a trace of busyness, but the old master knows that he gave Tang Yi more than twice as many tasks as Hai Rui! This kid can still play with ease, what a powerful administrative ability!
But the stronger it is, the heavier Zhao Zhenji's suspicions are, a person with improper skills, the stronger his ability, the more he will bring disaster to the country and the people, just ask Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Anshi, which one is not just skipping people. A traitor is not a lazy person, and a lazy person cannot be a traitor. Zhao Zhenji beats Tang Yi every day as long as he has kung fu, and some of his words are very excessive. Tang Yi is also a good cultivator, no matter what your old gentleman says, I don't care, I look like I am spitting and doing it myself.
If you think that Tang Yi is so cowardly, it is a big mistake, Zhao Zhenji and his scribes, as long as there is a little mistake, Tang Yi can keenly find it, so that the old man can be deflated.
The two sides were so energetic, the difference was no more than five days, and in the past few days, there was a spring rain one after another, and the road was full of deep water and mud.
A horse-drawn carriage quickly entered Quanzhou City from far and near. The carriage went directly to the Yuelai Inn, there were already people waiting here, holding an oil-paper umbrella, seeing the curtain of the car raised, hurriedly ran over, covered the rain, supported a white-haired old man, and walked towards the inn.
As he walked, the old man sighed: "Old age is not based on muscles and bones, and in two years, the old man is afraid that he will not even be able to walk." β
Zhang Jing arrived, and just when the old man arrived in Quanzhou, an explosive news came out of the prison. The governor of Fujian, Ruan He, was afraid of taking poison in prison, and this time no one poured fecal water on him, and by the time the jailer found out, he had already bled to death!
The news reached Tang Yi's ears, and he suddenly hummed, Ruan Que is Yan Maoqing's tool to attack Mind Science and Xu Jie, he is dead, Yan Dang will definitely think that it is Xu Jie's side that kills people, and the day before Ruan Que commits suicide, it was Ruan Que who was interrogated by Zhao Zhenji.
"Now the old master is in trouble!" Tang Yi rubbed his temples in pain. (To be continued.) )
