Chapter 31 Step by step

After Lu Zhenfei and Liao Yongtang left, Yin Shigang seemed a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he still told Zhu Ping'an the doubts in his heart.

Zhu Ping'an didn't expect Yin Shigang to have so many worries about Jinyiwei's visit, but this also shows that Yin Shigang has begun to think about the problem from his own position, which makes Zhu Ping'an very pleased.

Yin Shigang explained his views in detail.

Lu Zhenfei handed over the case to Jinyiwei, and his approach was understandable. As a governor, it was impractical for him to focus on such a case. Jinyiwei's own responsibilities also determine that he has the right to govern, persuade and deal with this matter.

But Liao Yongtang's appearance was really too abrupt.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Cao Wuxian and Zhang Dagou handled the whole incident that night without leaving any traces.

The people who were killed on the other side, including the bones in the dark room, have all been buried; The account books and the remaining ashes in the dark room were all brought back; His own brothers who had fallen in battle were also well settled. On that day, the civil and military forces in the city were celebrating the reward of the imperial court, and even the patrol posts of the Soldiers and Horses Division had wine and meat, and they were busy and lazy, so how did the Jinyi guard get the news?

Besides, Jin Yiwei got the news within a day. Does today's Jinyiwei still have such high efficiency and ability? Yin Shigang scoffed a little.

You know, today's Jinyiwei is not as good as before. Compared with Ji Gang when he was the ancestor, Qian Ning in the Zhengde Dynasty, and Lu Shan in the Jiajing Dynasty, I am afraid that even Tian Ergeng when Wei Zhongxian was in power was very inferior.

After the current saint ascended the throne, he was afraid of the terrifying power of the factory guard during the Wei Zhongxian period, so the eunuchs and the Jinyi guard system were thoroughly cleaned and suppressed. Therefore, the Jinyi Guard forces of the Chongzhen Dynasty were suppressed to the lowest point since its establishment.

If there is no holy family, it means that there is no power, and if there is no power, it means that there is no qiē. Including money and manpower. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, after the fall of Fengyang, the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households were washed in blood, and now there are only 100 people left, and even Fengyang's civil and military forces can't be monitored, so what can they do to control the entire Fengyang City.

Also, who sent the spies who wandered around Zhu Ping'an's thousands of households, villages, and even school grounds in the past two days? Just because Zhu Ping'an and Lu Zhenfei had just arrived at the village, Liao Yongtang did not inform him in advance, so he accurately came to the door, isn't the answer about to come out?

Why did he plant spies near Zhu Ping'an, and for what purpose? If, as he said, it is because of the case of the Tartars that he is going to come to inquire about, is it necessary to place a watchmanship? Besides, since Tushun has been taken away, why is there no sign of retreat from the nearby outposts?

Yin Shigang's point of view is clear. Regarding the matter of handing over Tushun to Jinyiwei, Zhu Ping'an did a little too hastily!

Yin Shigang's tirade stunned Zhu Ping'an at once. Think about it. That's true.

Tushun was the key to the whole incident, but he gave him to Jinyiwei, once he .......

Zhu Ping'an instantly thought of the worst result, and his back couldn't help but feel a little chill.

Yin Shigang closed his mouth at the right time, he knew that Zhu Ping'an was a smart person, and he could already think of the dangers he might have to face.

"Prepare for the worst! If, I mean, if Liao Yongtang is really Tushun and that Mr. Ning's accomplice in Fengyang, then how will he deal with me? Zhu Ping'an asked a little embarrassed.

Yin Shigang put his hands behind his back, and his eyes exuded a dazzling look. "The human certificate is in his hand, what Liao Yongtang says is what it is!"

Only then did Zhu Ping'an find that because of the influence of later films, television and literary works, his view of Jinyiwei's omnipotence and loftiness was really a little biased, which also made him fall into the current passivity.

"Also, is there a solution?"

"Yes!"

"What?"

"Wait for news!"

"Oh!" Zhu Ping'an was deflated all of a sudden. Yin Shigang sat down for a while, picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to sit patiently and wait.

An hour later, Zhang Ergou ran in quickly and gave a military salute. "My lord, Mr. Yin. Liao Yongtang brought the people into the Qianhu House, and then hurried back to his house. It didn't take much effort, and two messengers rode out of Fengyang City on fast horses. The people who watched carefully identified that they had gone on the official road to the capital! ”

"Oops!" Yin Shigang jumped up, "Liao Yongtang didn't interrogate the criminals, and second, he didn't send people to check, but he was in such a hurry to return to his home, and then sent a messenger straight to the capital. Looks like something is not going well! ”

At this time, Zhu Ping'an slowly calmed down. Yin Shigang's judgment is extremely accurate, and it seems that there is indeed a big problem with this Liao Yongtang.

"Fortunately, the adults didn't tell Liao Yongtang about the dark room, otherwise we wouldn't even have a chance to remedy it!" Yin Shigang smoothed out the framework of the whole thing again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyes, there was a wealth of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver hidden in the dark room, and only a fool would leak it out.

"Tartar took such a big risk to sneak into Fengyang, it seems that it was for the sake of those atlases that had already been burned. Fortunately, the Tartars don't know about the destruction of the atlas at the moment, let alone that some of them have fallen into our hands. That's the best side for us at the moment. ”

Yin Shigang said unhurriedly: "If the student's guess is right. Liao Yongtang sent people to the capital, but the wicked people sued first and weaved the accusations on the adults. As soon as the capital Jinyiwei gave an order, he immediately arrested the adults and put them in prison, and they were beaten into tricks. In this way, it can not only cover up the affairs of the Fan family, but also eliminate a hidden danger for the Tartars! ”

Yin Shigang nodded without a trace, "Liao Yongtang's move can only be carried out secretly, because there are many flaws in it, and he can only hope for the attitude of the capital." Once you decide to arrest someone, that's the crux of the whole thing. Now, it's up to you what the adults plan to do. ”

Yin Shigang stretched out two fingers, "First, cut through the mess with a quick knife." directly entered Liao Yongtang's private house to take people, and caught the Tartar spies, Liao Yongtang couldn't say clearly. But the risk is very high, what if the spy is not in his private house? In addition, the movement is too loud, and it is easy to be accused of mutiny, so the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Second, the bottom of the kettle is drawn. Liao Yongtang framed the adult, which was nothing more than the confession of the Tartar Tushun. Send people to infiltrate the Jinyi Guard, and few people will kill them. However, the risk is still very high, and if you miss it, you can't explain it! ”

Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "These two methods are very risky and not advisable!" ”

Yin Shigang was a little anxious, "My lord, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" Something must be done now, or ......! ”

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, "Mr. Yin misunderstood what I meant, it's not that he doesn't do it, but he wants to do it immediately." But the method can be changed! ”

……

The messenger was dispatched, and Liao Yongtang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Two messengers, two purposes, one is to report to the capital Jinyi Guard Yamen to report to the Fengyang High Wall Guard to command the same knowledge Zhu Ping'an to communicate with the Tartars; One is to inform his family in the capital to return to his hometown as soon as possible and wait for his notice.

This is where the career comes to an abrupt end. Thinking of this, Liao Yongtang couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably sentimental. His family has been born in Jinyiwei for several generations, and he started from the hereditary Jinyiwei general banner, and has survived to today's Jinyiwei thousands of households, along the way, he has a lot of feelings.

At today's age, it is already an extravagant hope to move up to the next level, and on the boat of the Fan family, although the powerful in Beijing take care of it, but such a big event, once the news leaks afterwards, there will always be someone to carry the black pot. Thinking about it, Liao Yongtang really couldn't think of any other suitable candidate besides himself.

So, be sure to go. The top priority is that if Jingzhong agrees, he can strike first, and seeing that Zhu Ping'an and Lu Zhenfei do not have the slightest doubt about themselves, this is a great opportunity. As long as Zhu Ping'an is arrested in Jinyiwei's prison, he can get what kind of confession he wants, and Liao Yongtang is still full of confidence in his methods of torture to extract confessions.

As soon as the confession arrives, the big thing is settled. After that, no matter how flooding it was, Liao Yongtang made up his mind to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away, with gold, where can he not be a rich man, and he will save himself from nesting in Fengyang City, maybe one day he will become a victim of the struggle of the powerful.

Ning Tong also mentioned one thing before. That is, although the dark room was found, it was not able to enter it. The account book of Xiangshun Ji smuggling salt and iron hidden in it has not been obtained for so many years, which is a hidden danger. If it falls into the hands of Zhu Ping'an, it may cause trouble.

Liao Yongtang didn't care, even if Zhu Ping'an decided that Xiang Shun Ji smuggled salt and iron to Guanwai, but now that the human certificate has long been dead, he can blame all the things on the big shopkeeper of Xiang Shun Ji back then. The key now is that the meaning of bless the capital can come down quickly, then you can arrest people immediately, once and for all!

Tushun said that although this alien race was brave and brutal, it was unusually loyal to its master. To put it mildly, he can't be disloyal, the family is all in Shengjing, he is dead, the family can be properly taken care of, and the children can also get a good future. What's more, because of his confession, he can also get rid of two big and small Nanbans who don't have a good impression of Guanwai by the way.

Ning Tong can also have an explanation for the above. Fengyang's affairs can be done after Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Ping'an have been settled, and the resistance will be relatively smaller.

Therefore, for Liao Yongtang's plan, Ning Tong accepted it all. He knows Jinyiwei's methods very well, as long as Zhu Ping'an is arrested, it is up to the two of them to decide how to manipulate him.

There is a distance of about 1,600 miles from Fengyang to Beijing, and this time to send a letter to the capital is through the special channel of Jinyiwei, counting the footsteps, plus the time for the Yamen of Jinyiwei in the capital to consider the report, it will take more than 20 days at the earliest.

During this time, Liao Yongtang needs to try his best to perfunctory Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Ping'an, and wait for the news from Beijing.
