The dungeon is dark.
Wang Dengku's eyes were closed, his whole body was hanging on the wooden flail, and his ten fingers were bloody and fleshy.
"Wang Dongjia, wake up!" Zhai Zhe knocked on the wooden railing.
"It's you!" Wang Dengku opened his eyes slightly, and spurted out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with the strength he had been saving for a long time, "Dare to lie to me!" ”
"You don't want to think about your own sins, and you're still angry with others!" Zhai Zhe squatted down.
"Look at this, it's the testimony of the shopkeeper and guard of your Wang family's firm! The evidence is conclusive, and you still don't plead guilty? Zhai Zhe recorded the warden and shook it in front of Wang Dengku's eyes.
"Does it make a difference whether I plead guilty or not?" Wang Dengku snorted.
"Yes!" Zhai Zhe lowered his voice, "If you admit to the crime of smuggling grain and grass and armor and confess to being an accomplice, your lord promises not to pursue you for the crime of fornication, at least you can save your family's lives!" ”
Wang Dengku raised his head and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Who did you confess, Zhai Dongjia and Fan Dongjia?" ”
"Only a few people from the Xuan Mansion are enough!" Zhai Zhe pinched the list.
"It turned out that there was a plot to fornicate and clear the captives? Did I admit it? Wang Dengku sneered, "Now I am at most guilty of robbing my family, as long as my mouth is hard, not only can I save the lives of my family, but also let them have no worries about food and clothing, what do you exchange with me?" ”
"You!" Zhai Zhe's hand retracted, "You haven't tasted the taste of torture, why bother to suffer again?" ”
"Now you know that you have pity on me!" Wang Dengku looked sarcastic, "If I sue those people, who will take care of my family?" Is it up to you? ”
"Think again!" Zhai Zhe got up and walked out. When he went out, the soap servant at the door of the dungeon nodded slightly, and before he could get out of the corridor, he heard a miserable cry from behind.
Things in Daming are really much more complicated, the heart is not black enough, and the hands are not poisonous enough, so everything will be restricted, and it is far less enjoyable than outside the plug. The first meeting was not as smooth as I imagined, and I hope that Wang Dengku's sin for a few days can be understood. Zhai Zhe returned to the barracks with all his heart, not long after the lunch time, the soldiers sent the food, he had a bad appetite in the past few days, he only ate a few bites, he didn't think about it, and ordered: "Call Liu Suifeng over!" "It's good that there is someone around me to talk to.
After a while, Kung Fu Liu arrived with the wind, and the soldiers at the door were tightly guarded.
Zhai Zhe sat upright, the dishes and chopsticks were placed in front of him, and Liu stood with the wind.
"I didn't expect Lu Gong to strike such a loud thunder to make it rain so little! But even if it rained so heavily, it didn't go well. Zhai Zhe tightly clutched the list he took from Yang Liukai's hand, and he told Liu Suifeng about the whole thing, but he didn't dare to show him the list. People here will face the separation of wives and families.
"I don't think Lu Gong's heart is steady, and he is afraid that he won't be able to end it when things get bigger, and there are many people in the court who are looking forward to his accident." Liu Suifeng frowned slightly.
"Wang Dengku pleads not guilty!" Zhai Zhe sneered, "Then arrest one more, how can the shopkeepers and guards of those businesses have so many hard mouths, it is not difficult to try out!" The more he thought about it, the more unpleasant he became, and complained: "It's really Fan Yongdou who said it, and Lu Gong won't touch him." ”
"If you do your part as a governor, you haven't seen anything before, and the thoughts of good and evil in your heart have long been black and white." Liu stood in front of Zhai Zhe about a foot in front of him with a respectful expression, thoughtful, and said: "It's not impossible to move another family, if you are willing to be a pawn, the governor is happy to see it." The top priority depends on what you think in your heart? Do you want to win the favor of the Governor and become a weapon in the hands of the Governor forever, or do you want to leave a way back for yourself! ”
Zhai Zhe put the list into his underwear pocket, looked a little dazed, shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" ”
The two choices Liu Suifeng said directly determined his handling of this matter. Lu Xiangsheng's disposition put him on the cusp again, and countless people's eyes were on him. Xuanda's wealth was so much, and the most valuable place under the direct control of the Governor's Palace was the trade routes between the east and west entrances. Lu Xiangsheng's method is a typical method of pulling one faction and fighting another faction to divide the power of Jindi merchants.
"Adults have to think clearly!" Liu Suifeng gave his hand, "The business alliance monopolizes the border trade of the east and west entrances, and will become the most dazzling pearl in the north." In the past, more than half of the money earned by the eight families flowed into the arms of the Jin people, so they could have a deep foundation in Xuanda, and no matter how many governors and governors were changed, no one touched them. But most of the money earned by adults will be used by Lu Gong to train the army, which is a strategy to grab food. As the governor of Xuanda, Duke Lu was reluctant to come forward in person, so he pushed the lord to the front. In fact, what Lu Gong doesn't want to do, adults can also not do it, adults are from the Zhai family, Fan Dongjia is the uncle, adults are very easy to get along with. If you really want to offend all the Jin people, you will leave Xuanda in the future, and the adults will have no place here. ”
"You mean to reconcile with the Eight Families?" Zhai Zhe shook his head, "The Shuozhou bloody case is still in front of us, they fornicated with the captives, and I can't be with them anymore!" "He has been out of Cyprus for six or seven years, and he has always regarded the Qing prisoners as his worst enemy. Over the years, I have had a lot of contact with Daming, and although I have some doubts, it is not yet time to overturn my decision.
"Your Excellency!" Liu followed the wind and groaned for a long time, and asked a question: "Which is more sinful, pushing a person into the water to drown or directly killing a person with a knife?" ”
Zhai Zhe thought for a moment and replied, "There is no difference!" ”
"That's right!" Liu Quan said no more.
The eight families are the ones who kill people directly with knives, so who pushed people into the water? Zhai Zhe seemed to understand what Liu Suifeng was talking about, but he didn't understand it thoroughly.
"I heard that most of Lu Gong's Tianxiong soldiers are clansmen and relatives, so they can take care of each other when the war is anxious, and they will not retreat. I am guilty of a serious crime, and my family is ruined, but I can also make a living from Liu Dong's family. Liu Quan's words were half said again, but the meaning was already very clear.
"The Governor doesn't want to put the Eight Families to death!" Zhai Zhe's mind was a mess, it was not that he didn't understand the reason why Lu Xiangsheng did this, but that this qiē completely shattered the principle he had always adhered to. If Lu Xiangsheng can do this, why can't he? Fan Yongdou has always looked forward to working with him.
"You're just a general, but Duke Lu has always put this matter in your hands, what do you think is the reason?"
Because of my relationship with the Eight Families! Liu Suifeng broke the dream man with a word. Zhai Zhe's heart suddenly became clear, Lu Gong would never have imagined that I would be so resentful towards the Eight Great Families! It turns out that Gong Lu has been leaving room for the Fan family and the Zhai family, and the choice of the Wang family as a breakthrough must be the same.
"Lu Gong's top priority is to train the army. Eight people are captured, who doesn't know Xuanda, and who doesn't? In fact, the eight firms are just operators, and this matter must be investigated deeply, and even all the border army guards and the gentry of the Jin Prefecture will be involved. Lu Gong can tolerate your experience of trafficking war horses to Gao Yingxiang, why can't you tolerate the eight families who once trafficked grain, grass, and armor to Liaodong. ”
Zhai Zhe waved his hand and motioned for Liu Suifeng to say no more.
The world has never changed, everyone is doing what they think is best for themselves, and he is blinded by the secrets he knows. Lu Xiangsheng was ordered to be the governor of Xuanda in danger, the purpose of which was to rectify the military equipment, make the Xuanda soldiers strong and strong, and no longer become a breakthrough point for the Qing Dynasty, not to provoke Xuanda in the matter of the eight businesses in Dongkou.
In the past ten years, he has been staring at the Qing prisoners in Liaodong, fearing the future of his life, although he has done well, he has been depressed most of the time, and he has lost a lot of happiness. Because he was born in Dongkou, he hated the actions of the eight firms, and unknowingly took the blame for the eight families on his own family. At this moment, Zhai Zhe's heart suddenly let go, when there is only a clear captive in his eyes, there is only a clear captive in his heart, and when his vision is unblinded, there will be the world in his heart.
"I can be the executioner of Lu Gong's massacre of the Eight Families, and I can also be a bridge for Lu Gong to use the Eight Masters Firm! Either way, Duke Lu would be happy to see it happen, as long as he could reorganize the garrison and get enough horses and silver from the trade between the east and west ports! Zhai Zhe picked up the chopsticks on the table in front of him and struck the empty bowl, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Your Excellency! It's not eight, it's seven! "Wang Dengku has no way to live, and Lu Xiangsheng will not be afraid if he doesn't kill people.
"I'll go find Fan Yongdou!" Zhai Zhe stretched.
Liu Suifeng peeked at Zhai Zhe's expression and remembered what his grandfather said to him, "This is the battle between the court, you have no likes and hatreds in your heart, no arrogance and humility, only what you want to do and what you get." ”
"If you have a seat with you, you will give me back a piece of the sky!" Zhai Zhe smiled. He is at ease in several major tribes in Mongolia, but when facing the eight major tribes, he is completely chaotic.
"Your Excellency is going to find Fan Dong's house, sooner rather than later. Now that both sides are leaving behind, several owners are panicking, don't do anything extreme because they want to protect themselves, and it will not end well in the future! ”
"Exactly!" Zhai Zhe called his soldiers over and removed the desk in front of him, "But I also want them to know that this good news is not easy to come by!" ”
Taiyuan City suddenly became lively, and there were many guests from Shanxi, Xuanfu and even Datong to inquire about the news of Wang Dengku's case. Rumors finally appeared in the market that Wang Dengku's case of fornicating with the Qing was tortured by the governor to extract a confession, and he was beaten into a confession. In the past few days, Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi, was the most troubled, and there were several groups of officials and gentry who were entrusted to intercede, and then he simply closed the door to thank the guests, and the case was tried by Lu Xiangsheng alone, he was only accompanied, and I heard that there were many people walking around the eunuch Wang Gui in Datong, Shanxi.
Zhai Zhe walked slowly down the street, and the people in the teahouses and taverns on both sides pointed and watched. He is now the focus of attention in Taiyuan City, and now everyone knows him, the general who has just returned from recruiting from outside the Saiwai, is the owner behind the Xikou Business Alliance, and the Wang Dengku case is handled by him.
"This case is over soon!" Zhai Zhe was indescribably irritable in his heart, he wanted to return to the grassland, and he would miss it when he left.
Fan Yong lives in a house next door to the Da Shengkui branch, and there is an endless stream of visitors at the door. The officials who were watching were drinking tea and chatting in a nearby teahouse, opening their eyes and closing their eyes, no wonder Lu Xiangsheng only dared to let the Tianxiong Army investigate the case.
