Chapter 358: Conspiracy
So, everyone came to the stone house together, the door of the stone house was closed, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, when Chen Congxin died before, it was like this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces changed. I couldn't help but take half a step back.
Leng Yi stepped forward and pushed hard, but sure enough, he didn't move. Turning his head to look at Yin Vulture, he said in a deep voice: "Crash open the stone door!" ”
Yin Vulture agreed, Zama Bu, carried enough internal strength, and shouted: "Open!" A palm hit the stone door, the stone door was slammed open, and something flew out behind the door, hitting the front table, the tablet on it was smashed and flying, and the table collapsed. For a moment, the stone house was dusty.
In the dust, everyone looked at it and found that it was the dead body of Chen Congxin who was parked in the house!
Xiang Gong exclaimed, "Why is his body leaning against the stone door and blocking the door?" It's really an evil sect......" As soon as he said this, his gaze froze, and he stared fixedly at a shadow in the middle of the room.
The shadow gradually became clear. Lu Duosun was at the front and could see it most clearly, but after he saw it clearly, he was so frightened that he trembled all over his body and shouted in horror: "Song Qi! He! He hanged himself! ”
Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, Song Qi was hanging in the air with his belt, and his whole body was hanging motionless.
Lu Duoxun rushed in with a scream and hugged Song Qi's feet: "Quick! Get rid of him! ”
Yin Eagle pulled out a single knife, flew up, and slashed the belt hanging from Song Qi's neck. Song Qi's body fell softly on Lu Duoxun's body.
Putting Song Qi to the ground, Lu Duosun reached out to check. For a moment, he looked at Leng Yi with a bitter face: "No ......, no gas......"
"Ghost!" Xiang Gong screamed in horror. Looking in private, "There's a ghost in this house!" If you don't believe me, go away! Let's go! ”
"Panic what!" Leng Yi said angrily, "This official checks and checks, what the hell is going on!" ”
"What else are you looking for!" Xiang Gong cried and said with a sad face, "Just now, all of us were in the shade of the tree. It can't be that we hanged him, right? There is only one possibility, that is, he, like Chen Congxin, was ghosted. Hanged here, let's hurry up! ”
Leng Yi ignored him, carefully examined the body of the deceased Song Qi, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, there are no external injuries. Apparently hanged alive. Lord Zhao. What to do? ”
Zhao Pu twisted his beard and pretended to say: "I look at Gong and said yes, he, like Chen Congxin, was killed by the ghost, transport the people back first, let's leave here quickly." Otherwise, I don't know what else will happen! ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Leng Yi sighed: "That's the only way, I will report these two unfortunate news to the official's family." ”
Leng Yi ordered the attendants to come in and transport the body out, and everyone followed the body out of the compound in a hurry.
Outside the compound. Lao Li was waiting here early and saw them come out. hurriedly caught up, and then saw two corpses, which frightened him and almost fell to the ground: "What's ......, what's going on?" ”
Shen Lun patted him on the shoulder, looked back at Zhen's house, and said, "This is really a haunted house, and the two of them were hung by ghosts in the stone house where the tablets were kept!" ”
"Little ......, little one reminded you adults that this is really evil......"
Shen Lunyou sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't listen to your words to cause such a thing." After that, this haunted house will be closed, and no one is allowed to enter it! If you want to die again, the official can ask you! ”
"The little one understands!"
Subsequently, the story of the haunting of the Zhen Mansion and the killing of two court ministers soon spread in the capital, so that no one dared to approach the Zhen Mansion even during the day.
After Leng Yi returned home, he immediately wrote an urgent secret guarantee, instructing Song Qi to assassinate himself about Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, preparing to rebel, and the news that Lu Duosun and other ministers might be involved in the rebellion. and attached the confessions of Song Qi and Zhao Pu.
Soon, Leng Yi received a reply from Zhao Guangyi, praising Leng Yi's merits in the trial court, and affirming his practice of not startling the snake, and at the same time, instructed him to strengthen the monitoring of relevant personnel, and find a way to fully control all the troops of the forbidden army, and do everything possible to prevent the people of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, from controlling the army.
After Leng Yi received Zhao Guangyi's order, he pondered for a long time and came up with a corresponding implementation method.
At the same time, the preparations of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, are also in full swing.
After Lu Duoxun returned to the mansion from the ghost mansion, he immediately sent someone to call the deputy commander of the guards, Ma Jun, the deputy commander of the army, and Zhao Tingjun, the armory envoy, and his henchman Zhao Bai.
After a few people arrived, Lu Duoxun said with a gloomy face: "You must have heard that Chen Congxin and Song Qi are both dead, and they died in Zhen's house!" ”
Dang Jin said: "I heard about it, how did you die?" ”
"I don't know!" Lu Duoxun frowned and thought, "However, after Chen Congxin died, that Leng Yi had examined everyone in detail, and also questioned Song Qi individually. I wonder if he smells something. ”
Dang Jin said: "This Leng Yi will be a scourge sooner or later, King Qi has already confessed, he is a person, he can accept it, if he can't, he must get rid of it as soon as possible!" Now it seems that he controls the forbidden army and the trial court, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, and if we want to make a big deal, we must get rid of him! Whether he smells it or not, the dead are the safest! ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Zhao Tingjun said: "Or, pay an assassin to kill him?" ”
Lu Duosun shook his head: "He has a lot of guards around him, and his martial arts are also very high, plus now that there are interrogators and soldiers to drive, it is difficult for Akari to kill directly." We have to think of a foolproof way to kill him without revealing our plans! ”
Zhao Baiyin said compassionately: "I have an idea. ”
"You say!"
"He is now in control of the forbidden army to build Jinmingchi, and I heard that many soldiers of the forbidden army are very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he is immoral and incompetent. Why point fingers. They all tried to fix him. Let's take advantage of his opportunity to inspect the construction site, and when he arrives at the construction site of the soldiers commanded by General Dai or the party general, we will find a ballast to provoke him. Let him beat the soldiers violently, and never provoke the soldiers to mutiny in anger and kill him, although his guards are powerful, they are no more powerful than thousands of soldiers! Rushed up, stepped on him and trampled him to death! ”
Lu Duosun nodded frequently: "Good idea!" Stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Bai on the shoulder, and said, "It is worthy of Zhiduoxing!" I thought of a good way to do it all at once! ”
Dang Jin nodded in agreement.
Dang Jin said: "I helped him last time. He appreciates him very much, and I can get close to him, if our plan doesn't work. I could have just assassinated him. ”
"That's a good idea, but in that case, your situation will be more dangerous. Be careful! ”
Dang Jin arched his hand and said: "For the great cause of King Qi." Even if you kill yourself, you will not hesitate! ”
"Excellent! King Qi knows your loyalty, and will definitely reward you! Lu Duosun patted Dang Jin's shoulder.
"Ma Jundu commanded Li Jilong to be whipped by Leng Yi in public, and he was also shackled to show the public, this person's surname is extremely irritable, and his martial arts are also very high, we can use his violent temper to guide him. Let him kill Leng Yi to take revenge, he can also achieve his goal! ”
Lu Duosun said: "Very good! It's also a good idea. In this way, let's take a multi-pronged approach, one can't succeed and the other is the other, in short, we will kill him! Walking to the window, looking at the gloomy sky, he said slowly: "The surname is cold!" You won't live for a few days! ”
Leng Yi took the escort team and Cheng Luochang to Sanya.
Some time ago, he had been busy with the establishment of the trial court, and today he finally freed his hands and came to Sanya to convene a meeting of senior generals of the whole army.
During this time, it was Shi Shouxin who was responsible for the task of building Jinmingchi for the forbidden army.
Shi Shouxin has a very high prestige in the forbidden army, and none of the generals and soldiers of the forbidden army dare to say a word about his words. So, more than a month has passed, and the construction has been going smoothly.
Leng Yi came to Sanya, and walked towards the Sanya Yamen, accompanied by Shi Shouxin, Dang Jin and other Sanya commanders who came out to greet him. Someone shouted loudly, "Lord Leng! Lord Leng, please stay! ”
Leng Yi followed the prestige, but it was Li Jilong, the former guard who was shackled under the flagpole, and the commander of the horse army.
He was ordered by Leng Yi to be shackled to show to the public for a month, and the month had expired, but Leng Yi had been busy with the establishment of the trial court and did not come to Sanya's side, so the soldiers had no way to report whether he had canceled his shackles and displayed to the public, and without his order, they did not dare to release people casually. Today, he finally came, but before the soldiers could call, he called first.
Leng Yi slowly walked over and stood in front of him: "What's wrong?" ”
For more than a month, Li Jilong's whole person became a wild man, his beard and hair were messy and became a chicken nest, and he was exposed to the sun under the scorching sun, his eye sockets were sunken, and the whole person was in a circle. The heavy shackles on his neck continued to press, he couldn't bear it for a long time, so he could only lean on the ground, prop the shackles on the ground and reduce his weight a little, seeing Leng Yi coming, he gasped for a moment, and said: "Lord Leng, the last general ......, the last general knows that he is wrong...... please forgive ......"
"Well, then let me ask you, do you know what you did wrong?"
"Don't listen to orders, take pride in your achievements, and have no superiors."
"If these things were on the battlefield, how would they be handled?"
Li Jilong's bitter voice whispered: "There is no forgiveness for killing...... the adults, the adults only punish the last general with a cane, and wear shackles to show the public for a month, which is already a great grace, and the last general knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to do it again in the future......"
"Really?"
"Really, the last general can swear that if he disobeys your military orders in the future, the last general will be dismembered by the blade, and there will be no place to bury him!"
"Good! I believe in you! However......" Leng Yi looked at him and said lightly, "Because you did not obey the order, this official has removed your guard Ma Jundu from the command of the army according to the authorization of the official family, and your position has been assumed by the party jin." Even if you admit your mistake and are willing to obey the orders of this official in the future, there is no high-ranking official position for you, and if you still want to do it, I can only give you a detention officer. Would you like to lead five soldiers? ”
The detainees were the lowest-ranking officers in the Song military system, equivalent to the current non-commissioned officers or deputy squad leaders. Only five soldiers were led. He was demoted from a cavalry unit commander to a deputy squad leader, and this contrast is too great. Li Jilong's expression darkened, and he nodded painfully: "I ......, I am willing to ......"
"Well, as long as you work hard, can give full play to your command skills, and really obey my orders, then I will consider giving you a promotion." Leng Yi instructed the soldiers: "Untie his shackles!" ”
The soldiers came over and untied Li Jilong's shackles.
Leng Yi patted him on the shoulder: "I hope you really know that you are wrong." You go back and rest for a few days, it was only for a month, but it just so happened that I was busy with things during this time, and I forgot that you were still locked here, so you were wronged, and I stayed for a few more days, and I gave you a vacation to make up for it, and I went back to recuperate......"
"No!" Li Jilong bowed and said, "I'm fine!" I have survived the hardships of the battlefield back then, and this hardship is nothing. I hope to return to the army as soon as possible, correct my mistakes with my practical actions, and show my loyalty to adults! ”
"In that case." Leng Yi turned to look at Dang Jin, "You arrange it and give him a detainee." Let someone take him to the construction site, and then come back immediately, the official will hold a meeting of the three commanders! ”
"Humble command! General Li ......, ah no, Officer Li, please follow me!" ”
Seeing that Leng Yi took Yang Xin and them into the Sanya Yamen, the smile on Dang Jin's face slowly disappeared, and he whispered to Li Jilong: "General, this commander is too much, even if the cane punishment is enough, he has to be shackled to show the public, and he has to slap his mouth in public, the general's sins are really not small." ”
Li Jilong glanced at him and snorted.
Dang Jin said in a low voice: "The general is a tiger in the mountains, how can he go to a place like the construction site where the people stay to dig and move stones?" I really despise the general, and when the general heard it, he was very upset with the general! ”
Li Jilong glanced at him again, but still didn't say anything.
Dang Jin didn't dare to say it anymore, thinking to himself, you haven't tasted the bitterness of the construction site, and you haven't felt the feeling that the phoenix that falls into the grass is not as good as a chicken, so wait for you to taste the taste at the construction site first! Then he said: "The last general should let people take the general to the construction site first." ”
After Dang Jin asked the soldiers to take Li Jilong away, he returned to Sanya.
In the Sanya conference hall, the military-level generals of the Sanya sat quietly below, Leng Yi and Shi Shouxin sat in the hall, of course, Leng Yi was sitting in the middle, and Shi Shouxin was accompanying him.
These are the commanders of the three ya's compartments and army levels (equivalent to modern army-level and division-level cadres), the military system of the Song Dynasty, each compartment commands 25,000 troops, and each compartment has jurisdiction over ten armies. Each army commanded 2,500 troops. Due to the excessive power of the commander-in-chief, although the emperor set up this rank, he did not appoint specific generals, so although each of the three yas has the position of presidential military officer, it is only a vacant position. In other words, the first-class officer is the top-level officer of the Song Army.
