After the thousands of households left, Yang Xiaoyu ordered Tiqi to bring Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen up.

Xiong Tingbi was about fifty years old, more than eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark complexion, his head was much larger than usual, a black face looked at it fiercely, as if it was flying violently, and a beard with an inch length on his chin.

Wang Huazhen is forty-seven or eighteen years old, more than seven feet tall, with a slightly yellow complexion, a square face, and his eyes are so small that Yang Xiaoyu can only see clearly when he opens his eyes wide.

Wang Huazhen's life palace is wide, enough to put down two fingers, his eyebrows are thin, like a woman's thin eyebrows, his forehead is high and convex, and dense wrinkles crisscross it, as if it is as terrifying as a spider's web.

When Yang Xiaoyu looked at Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, the two Xiong Wang were also looking at Yang Xiaoyu on the main seat.

A short moment later.

Yang Xiaoyu took the lead and said: "Lord Xiong, Lord Wang, this official is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and he is the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, this time he is ordered by the emperor to try the case of the two adults, what can the two adults say now?" ”

"My lord, the crime of losing Guangning is not the fault of someone Xiong, but that some villains do not know about the military affairs and send troops without authorization, which leads to the destruction of the good situation at the border pass, and the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is spilled on the battlefield!" Xiong Tingbi said in an old-fashioned manner.

Wang Huazhen next to him said urgently: "The surname Xiong is all because you are timid and cowardly, support the army and respect yourself, and do not save you when you see death, otherwise, how can Wang be defeated!" ”

"Wang Huazhen, Xiong only has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is not enough to defend the city, how can he save you, besides, when you sent someone to Xiong for help, the 100,000 Guangning army had already been defeated on the battlefield, and you came to join Xiong with thousands of remnants, Xiong took you in regardless of his previous suspicions, how could you spew blood?"

"The surname is Xiong. When Wang sent someone to ask you for help, you only had to send troops to attack the Jiannu grain and grass camp from the side, and you could save 100,000 Guangning troops, but you were unwilling to send troops to rescue you for your own selfish interests, and Wang's troops were defeated at Pingyang Bridge. It's all your fault! ”

……

Yang Xiaoyu listened to the quarrel between the two Xiong Wang, his head was big, and he interrupted impatiently: "You two stop talking, this official asks you, after the defeat of Pingyang Bridge, which of you two advocates retreating from Shanhaiguan?" ”

"Back to my lord, after the defeat of Pingyang Bridge, Wang felt that the border war was difficult, and returned to Guangning City to recruit soldiers and horses. Regrouped, in one fell swoop to level Jiannu, however, the shameless rebel general Sun Degong betrayed the master for glory and took refuge in Jiannu, he led a large army to claim to be reinforcements, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders of Guangning to kill and rush into the city. Wang knew that he couldn't do anything, so he immediately led his army to fight to the death in Guangning City. The enemy was outnumbered, Sergeant Wang was killed and wounded, and he never took half a step back, the rebels and the Jin army set fire to the city, Wang was sad in his heart, and his physical strength was not good. The fainting passed, and when Wang woke up again, several soldiers had taken Wang out of Guangning City. Wang Huazhen said with a sad and indignant face.

Xiong Tingbi snorted coldly and said mockingly: "When I was in Daling River, Xiong saw Lord Wang riding a high-headed horse. With bright clothes and armor, with thousands of troops around him, Lord Wang was in excellent spirits and full of energy at that time, where did he come from with poor physical strength? ”

"Lord Xiong, don't spew blood!" Wang Huazhen shouted loudly.

Yang Xiaoyu saw that the two of them wanted to quarrel again, and said coldly: "Whatever the official asks, you can answer, and if you dare to say more, don't blame the official for being ruthless!" ”

The two of them snorted coldly and kept silent.

Yang Xiaoyu asked: "On the way you retreated to Shanhaiguan, the hungry people wailed and cried along the way, didn't the two adults blame themselves a little in their hearts?" ”

"My lord, there are frequent wars at the border, and the local people are suffering from war and tea poison, this kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, Wang also wants to save the hungry people, but there is no food and grass, and there is no house for them to live in, Wang is powerless!" Wang Huazhen said helplessly.

Xiong Tingbi nodded approvingly on this matter, and said: "When retreating to Shanhaiguan, the army had no grain and grass to eat, and marched three hundred miles hungry all the way, where did the grain and grass come from to help the hungry people, besides, these disaster victims did not help the imperial court to guard the border, and they deserved to starve to death." ”

Yang Xiaoyu sneered in his heart, Xiong Tingbi is talented, but his big mouth is the source of trouble, originally a simple sentence came out of his mouth, and anger rose in the hearts of those who listened.

No wonder Ye Xiang's senior cabinet ministers don't want to see him, with his big mouth, it's good if the ministers don't join him in groups, who is willing to say good things to him.

"Lord Xiong stays, Lord Wang will go back first!"

Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand and asked Tiqi to take Wang Huazhen away, leaving Xiong Tingbi alone, and said: "Lord Xiong, this official knows that the blame for the loss of Guangning is not you, you will write a detailed chapter of the battle of Guangning, and this official will report it to the emperor on your behalf, as for whether you can save your life, it depends on how you write this recital?" ”

"What do you mean?" Xiong Tingbi frowned deeply and asked uncertainly.

"What can this official mean, Lord Xiong will report to the emperor according to the truth, and Fang Shoufu will say good things for you!" Yang Xiaoyu glanced outside and whispered.

Xiong Tingbi's face showed a look of sudden realization, some time ago he heard in prison that Fang Congzhe had entered the cabinet again, and he thought in his heart that Fang Congzhe would not abandon him, but now it seems that sure enough, he guessed correctly, Fang Congzhe is trying to save himself first.

"Thank you, my lord, without further ado, Xiong will go down to write a chapter!" Xiong Tingbi thought that there was finally hope to clear the charge, so he hurriedly bowed down to Yang Xiaoyu and said gratefully.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, turned around and waved his hand to let the Ti Rider take Xiong Tingbi down, and instructed the Ti Riders to eat and drink well to serve, buy what they need, and the money spent will be allocated by the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

Yang Xiaoyu stayed alone in the hall and thought for a long time, seeing that the sun was setting in the west and dusk was approaching, and when he was about to return home, Zhou Heguang and a group of thousands of households rushed back.

Zhou Heguang and others obeyed Yang Xiaoyu's orders, and beheaded the head of the prison of the Criminal Department on the grounds of disobedience to the order, and some minor officials were all brought back by Jinyi Tiqi and thrown into the edict prison.

Yang Xiaoyu guessed that this incident would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Donglin Party officials, and they might use this matter to attack Jinyiwei when they went to court tomorrow.

Jin Yiwei's commander Tian Ergeng is a complete villain, and he will definitely bear the brunt of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Yang Xiaoyu sneered, and ordered Zhou Heguang to take people to the prison to repair the small officials in the prison of the Criminal Department, and let them sign and detain against the disobedience.

As long as he has testimony in hand, he is not afraid that Donglin officials will attack him on this matter, and he is not afraid that Tian Ergeng, a villain who sees the wind and rudders, will fall into the well.

After Yang Xiaoyu finished ordering this, he thought that the Donglin Party officials would probably not let him go so easily, so he immediately rolled his eyes, thought of a good idea, waved his hand to summon Cao Tai, and took him to the backyard of the Zhenfu Division. (To be continued......)
