Chapter 70 takes a stand

"...... he's dead" Mi Zhihuan asked in surprise, "How can he die if he dies......"

"Naturally, let's let him die." Fan Dou said coldly.

"Yes...... He is the governor, and there are hundreds of guards around him, how easy is it to let him die? Moreover, if a governor dies for no reason, it is also a big deal, and the court is bound to send people to investigate, especially Lord Yue, who is reincarnated, in this world, there is no case that he can't trivialize. Mi Zhihuan's face was difficult to say.

"Whether 'King Yue Yan' can find out or not, that's a matter for the future, and I'm afraid we won't be able to manage it that far now. Moreover, as long as we do it cleanly, then Yue Su may not be able to do it badly. General Mi, the matter is in front of us now, kill Wu Sinan, we still have a chance, if we don't kill him, we will die immediately. Do you want to play this line, or do you want to die right away? Fan Dou smiled, his smile was very cold.

Mi Zhihuan thought about it, and then looked at Xiao Fengzhong beside him, and the two of them exchanged their eyes with each other, and finally thought that it was all a death anyway, so it was better to take a look, and maybe there was a first-line opportunity.

"Brother Fan, how can you let Wu Sinan die?" Mi Zhihuan asked.

"There are two ways to get him dead, one is to rush directly into the governor's office and kill him. It's just that doing this, the movement is too big, and Tian Xiu and Zhao Yan are in his hands, once he jumps over the wall and kills both of them, this matter can't end, so he can't do this. The second method is to ask the governor Cui to come forward, bī Wu Sinan to write a confession, and then let him hang himself, so that there is no problem on the surface. Then, let's kill all the people who know, so that Yue Su can't find out. 'Yue Shaved Head' is the minister of Tuogu, there are a lot of things that need to be done for him, he can't have so much time to investigate a case, if he can't find it out for a while, he will definitely go to other things, and things will slowly subside. What do you think of this method? Fan Dou looked at Xiao Fengzhong and Mi Zhihuan opposite.

"It seems that there is no other way, but this matter needs to be handled by Master Cui, I don't know where he is now?" Mi Zhihuan said.

"I have already sent someone to inform Lord Cui, such an urgent matter, if I want to come to Lord Cui to get the news, I will definitely leave for it immediately. At that time, Master Cui only needs to make a look of asking for guilt, and if he wants to hide from the world, it is not impossible. Fan Dou said triumphantly.

"Hmm......" Mi Zhihuan nodded.

Everyone was waiting in the wonton house, and at this moment, Wu Sinan and everyone had already had lunch. They just ate in the hall, and the lunch of the humanitarian god and the governor Yamén was everyone's share, and Jin Liang, Wang Dayu, and Zhao Yan were also treated the same, and even Wu Sinan arranged a table for them to eat.

When everyone finished eating, the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, and the tea was sent in person, Lord Wu took a sip of tea, and suddenly said to the deputy general Tian Xiu: "General Tian, the ministry suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask the general." ”

Seeing that Wu Sinan had something to ask himself, Tian Xiu was startled, and with a smile on his face, he said: "If the big commander has anything to say, even if he asks, as long as the last general knows, he will answer truthfully." ”

"That's it. The ministry wants to ask the general, when did the general arrive in Zhangjiakou? Wu Sinan said.

"The last general was promoted from Xuanfu General to Zhangjiakou Deputy General in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he has been in this position for seven years." Tian Xiu replied.

"That's it, I don't know who the deputy general of Zhangjiakou was before General Tian?" Wu Sinan asked.

"It's called Chang Zhentan, I don't know what the big marshal is asking about this?" Tian Xiu said in his heart.

"During this Chang Zhentan's tenure, how is the official reputation? Is it a high promotion or a return to his hometown? Wu Si Nangen didn't answer Tian Xiu's question, but just continued to ask.

"I heard that I was killed because I ate empty quotas and deducted military salaries, and the first level also passed on the nine sides to set an example." Tian Xiu replied. Wu Sinan could not answer his question, but he did not dare not answer Wu Sinan's question.

Sinan nodded, and said, "How did this matter find out?" ”

"This ...... The last general doesn't know......" Tian Xiu said.

"Do you know, who knows?" Wu Sinan asked.

"Gonggong Zhao has been supervising the army in Zhangjiakou for many years, and he has come to Zhangjiakou before the last general, he must know it." Tian Xiu said.

"It turns out that Gonggong Zhao knows." Wu Sinan said to Zhao Yan: "Gonggong Zhao, you also heard the question that the ministry asked General Tian just now, can you answer it for the ministry?" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yan snorted indignantly, and said coldly: "He was involved in our family, and his head was lost, and I, Lord Wu, want to follow in his footsteps." ”

"Heh......" Wu Sinan chuckled lightly and said, "According to this, is Chang Zhentan still wronged?" ”

"What is there to be wronged, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the evidence is ironclad." Zhao Yan said with a grin.

"Father-in-law Zhao, you really know how to talk nonsense. If Chang Zhentan can eat empty quotas and deduct military salaries, then what is the current General Tian? Wu Sinan sneered.

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Yan's face changed, and Tian Xiu was heartbroken, and even the other generals were surprised to Wu Sinan.

"Isn't there something wrong with me?" Wu Sinan turned his head to Tian Xiu and said, "Lord Tian, at this time, let's open the skylight and talk brightly, when the Tartars attacked Zhangjiakou, how many men and horses did you have?" ”

"One...... Ten thousand...... Five thousand people ......" Tian Xiu stammered.

"Fifteen thousand, you really mean it. You ......" Wu Sinan stretched out his hand and pointed at Liao Fei and other generals, "You all come, when the Tartars hit Zhangjiakou, how many people and horses were there in Zhangjiakou?" ”

"There is ......"

The generals looked at each other, which dared to speak.

It was Tian Xiu's hardcore Qin Nansong who was the first to say: "If you go back to the big handsome...... Indeed...... Fifteen thousand men ......"

"General Qin, this is yours, the ministry will ask the soldiers of Zhangjiakou to interrogate in detail whether it is 15,000 people. Also, the ministry should also ask how much of their military salary they can get a month. Liao Fei! Wu Sinan suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "You come, how many soldiers were there in Zhangjiakou at that time, and did General Tian deduct military salaries?" ”

"This ......" Just now, after Liao Fei showed the names of these major prison troops in Jin Liang, he had already fallen to Tian Xiu's side in his heart, but he really didn't dare to answer Wu Sinan's current question. This kind of thing, just find some soldiers to confront it, and you can immediately ask for the details, and you can't cover it up by yourself. For the final victory, although Tian Xiu and Zhao Gonggong have a greater chance of winning, Lord Wu is so calm and calm, as if he has the chance to win, which makes people really not judge. Once you choose the wrong side, it will be difficult to die in the end, and if you protect Tian Xiu now, you will inevitably be regarded as Tian Xiu's comrade, and you will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. But to tell the truth, it is equivalent to betraying Tian Xiu, and Tian Xiu will definitely take revenge in the future.

Liao Fei couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and at this time, he heard Wu Sinan urging loudly: "Liao Fei, ! How many people are there? ”

"Yes...... There are 15,000 people ......" Liao Fei finally made the final choice.

Although lies are easy to debunk, it is a matter of position, not in what you are, but only in which side can achieve the final victory. Liao Fei bet on Tian Xiu, and the reason why he chose this way is that he also has his own reasons. He shielded Tian Xiu, but he could be regarded as a member of the same party, but he didn't have much money at home, and he didn't do anything bad, at most he didn't know about it and gave false testimony in court. It is certain that the official position will be gone, and if the crime is reduced again, it is estimated that he will not be able to lose his head, and the face of the army will be relatively large. I have been working in the barracks for half my life, and now I am a general, at most after filling the army, starting from recruits and coolies, it is nothing. But if Tian Xiu wins, Tian Xiu will not be moral, and his uncle Tian Lan will not want his own life, then he will be a ghost. Compared to Ming, everything else doesn't matter.

He made the safest choice, Tian Xiu couldn't help but be proud when he heard Liao Fei like this. The expression on Wu Sinan's face did not change, his fingers moved slowly, and he pointed at Xu Guangda, "General Xu, you come, when the Tartars called, how many people were there in Zhangjiakou?" ”

"There is ......" Xu Guangda was also embarrassed, his thoughts were actually the same as Liao Fei, he was not a fool, he knew that when he went to Wu Sinan's side, once he lost, he would lose his life, and when he went to Tian Xiu's side, even if he lost, he would be recharged at most.

However, compared with Liao Fei, Xu Guangda has another level of thinking. Before Lord Wu came, he was never welcomed, and he was also a guerrilla general, but he always had to do the hardest errands, and any thankless work would definitely be spread on his head. Even the Tartars knocked on the pass, and the people stationed in the city were also their own men and horses, and those brothers under their own hands, who had been with them for many years, how could they have no feelings, if they died fighting for the defense of the city, it would be regarded as a well-deserved death, but their death was because of Tian Xiu's Hu Luàn command. The Tartars followed the people and rushed into the city, and you, Tian Xiu, were the first to run away and threw us all down, and the brothers died.

Also, it was because of Master Wu that it was the first time he had done an errand with oil and water, and the first time he was taken seriously, and this feeling had never been felt before.

Thinking of the dead brothers, thinking of Lord Wu's kindness, Xu Guangda finally made his own decision, die and die.

"There were 7,000 ......"

"You...... You are nonsense......" Seeing that Xu Guangda dared to tell the truth, Tian Xiu immediately became angry, pointing at Xu Guangda and roaring loudly.

"Presumptuous! Tian Xiu, in front of the ministry, is not qualified to shout. Give me an honest seat! Tian Xiu's voice is big, and Wu Sinan's voice is bigger than him.

"Yes...... The handsome ......" Tian Xiu gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Guangda fiercely, eager to swallow this son alive immediately.
