Chapter 327: The Governor's Palace Controversy
Xu Liang stared at Lu Chengyuan.
Lu Chengyuan trembled and stretched out his right index finger, looked at it for a long time, carefully put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and bit hard, wanting to bite out some blood.
"Ahh With a scream, Lu Chengyuan jumped and jumped there, shaking his fingers vigorously, tears streaming down his eyes in pain.
After shaking for a while, Lu Yuanyuan looked at the finger of the hand that was bitten by himself, and saw two extremely deep tooth marks on it, red and red, but after all, the skin had not been broken, just two blood spots.
Xu Liangden was speechless, ordered someone to find a dagger, threw it in front of Lu Chengyuan, and snorted coldly: "Use a knife, point directly." ”
After a while, Lu Chengyuan held the fingers of the broken opening, hurriedly aimed at the white paper in front of him, and looked at Xu Liang nervously.
Xu Liang stood with his head held high, paced in the small courtyard, and said faintly: "Lu Chengyuan, the criminal minister of the Ming Dynasty, wept blood and confessed: The criminal minister has the emperor's favor, covets small profits, betrays abandonment, aids and abuses, and conspires to ......rebel with Lord Han."
While pacing, Xu Liang planted some of the major events that had happened in Pingliang City recently to the source of poor Lu Cheng, murdered the prince of Dongchang, took refuge in King Han to plot a rebellion, and instigated the mutiny of the officials and troops of Guyuan Prefecture.
Lu Chengyuan wrote with his own blood, at first he was still distressed by his fingers, worried that he would lose too much blood and kill him, but later, listening to Xu Liang almost all the bad things on himself, the fear in his heart gradually exceeded the worry of excessive bleeding.
The handwriting became more and more sloppy, and the eyes that looked at Xu Liang were extremely frightened, as if he had seen a man-eating devil.
When Xu Liang spit out the last word. Lu Chengyuan made the last stroke, staring at the bright red. Thick notes, goodbye Xu Liang smiled and smiled. Thinking that Xu Liang would hold such a note in his hand in the future that was enough to kill himself eight hundred times, he suddenly felt that his future life was extremely dark, and in the midst of grief, his eyes rolled for a while, and he fainted directly.
Xu Liang frowned and muttered, "Fainted so soon? Picking up the bloody note, Xu Liang was very satisfied with it, and folded it carefully. put it in his arms, stepped forward and kicked Lu Chengyuan who was lying on the ground, and seeing that he didn't react, he waved his hand and asked the two Tsing Yi guards to drag him back to the house like a dead dog, and randomly found a bed quilt to cover it, so as not to really freeze him to death.
Xu Liang arranged for soldiers to guard the state yamen, and then led people to the governor's palace.
The gate of the Trilateral Governor's Mansion had collapsed, and the bodies of the people killed in the battle inside and outside the palace gate had already been cleared by the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who had arrived earlier, and only the ground was on the ground. The bloodstains on the walls still prove that there was a fierce battle in the Doge's palace last night.
Xu Liang got out of the carriage and heard from the captain of the Jingying camp at the door that the rebel army and the pro-soldiers of the Governor's Mansion had seized the control of the Governor's Mansion until late at night, and he couldn't attack it for a long time. The rebels withdrew. Because of this, Governor Wu was still in the palace and was not harmed. Xu Liang strode towards the Governor's Palace. Entered the well-guarded Governor's Palace.
As soon as he entered the council hall, Xu Liang saw the hope of Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides. The two Qincha lords, Shaanxi political participation Hong Chengchou and others all sat in the hall. Hong Chengchou and the others were looking at Governor Wu with concern.
Xu Liang bowed his hand and said loudly: "Xiaguan Pingliang knows Xu Liang to see the Governor. ”
Governor Wu's face was full of bitterness, and when he saw Xu Liang, he raised his hand and said softly: "Guozhong, you are here too?" Don't be polite. ”
Xu Liang found a chair in the hall to sit on, looked at the officials, and listened carefully.
Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Lord Wu, although the rebel army has taken the initiative to evacuate Guyuan Prefecture, Guyuan City is worry-free for the time being. However, there are nearly 10,000 rebel troops, and they have to be instigated by traitors, and if they are allowed to cause chaos outside, the consequences are unpredictable. This official was established, and the Wu people transferred the army of tigers and wolves as soon as possible and sent troops to clear them. ”
Governor Wu's expression was shrive, as if he was overly frightened, he sighed deeply, and said, "What Lord Qiao said is very true. The Guyuan Mutiny caused such a catastrophe, and the governor could not escape the blame. So the Governor sent his men and horses in pursuit of the rebels. ”
In fact, there is no need to dispatch much, there are only a few available soldiers in the hands of Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, the Liang army in Pingliang, the garrison army in Qingyang, the general army in Yansui, and as for the tens of thousands of border troops, there is no need to think about it.
Several adults in the hall were discussing how to transfer troops, but Xu Liang couldn't interject, so he quietly walked out of the hall. After looking around the governor's palace for a while, he saw Li Ying, a guerrilla general in Guyuan, striding towards the council hall with a sad and angry face.
Xu Liang hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Li, Lord Wu in the hall, they are discussing the military, so it is inconvenient to disturb." ”
Li Guerrilla shouted angrily: "The rebel army has withdrawn, and they are still discussing a fart, just hit it directly!" ”
Xu Liang couldn't help but be stunned and asked when he saw that Li Guerrilla was inexplicably sad and indignant, as if he had been stimulated by something: "General Li, what's wrong?" ”
Li Guerrilla howled miserably and shouted at Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, they are so inhumane! Seventeen people in the last general's mansion were all killed! Pity my little concubine in the third room who has just passed the door, like a flower and jade, I see pity, and she died so miserably! ”
It turned out that the family had suffered! Xu Liang said secretly, presumably it was Li Guerrilla who brought a team of soldiers borrowed from Xu Liang and rushed back to his residence to find out.
Li Guerrilla wiped away his tears, walked to the council hall angrily, and shouted: "The last general is about to inquire clearly, the mutiny is all the ghost of Zhao Yong, who has been stabbed a thousand times!" The last general asked the governor for his life, and he had to take his troops out and kill him! ”
Xu Liang's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly followed and said: "I remember that General Li once said that Zhao's eternal march into China was arranged by Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang. In this way, Guyuan Mutiny, Governor Zhang's Mansion can't get out of it! ”
Li Guerrilla was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Fengqi of the dog day, if it weren't for him, why would he have ended up at this point today!" ”
"We have to impeach Governor Zhang!" Xu Liang said, "Does General Li dare to fold up?" I am willing to fold with you. ”
Li Guyi was stunned and asked, "Governor Zhang also offended Lord Xu?" ”
Xu Liang said: "In the Pingliang West City Gate incident, Governor Zhang's Mansion was protected by some people, and he has not been punished so far, and this official is not used to it. ”
Li Guerrilla nodded, and re-entered the chamber of the Governor's Mansion with Xu Liang. In the hall, Qiao Shangshu seemed to have an argument with Governor Wu, and the two of them had their faces apart, and neither looked at anyone. Next to Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Li Guerrilla walked to the center of the hall, pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, bowed to the governor of Wu, and said sadly: "Lord Governor, the mutiny was all caused by the instigation of the evil thief Zhao Yongyong, and the last general asked for his life and led the troops to hunt down this thief!" ”
Governor Wu asked, "Who is Zhao forever?" ”
Li Guerrilla said: "This thief was originally the commander of the guards of the Han Palace, and was introduced by Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, to enter the army. ”
"Oh?" Governor Wu said in surprise: "This person was also from the Han Palace?" ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he replied loudly before Li's guerrilla: "Your Excellency, Zhao will always have a murder case, and the lower officials have been tracking down the whereabouts of this fang, but there is no clue, so I don't think he would hide in the army." This fang can enter the army, and it is inseparable from Governor Zhang's mansion, and the subordinate officials think that Governor Zhang's mansion is deeply involved in Han Wangfu, and he should be immediately dismissed pending investigation! ”
Zhang Nianyun, the imperial historian of the capital, scolded unhappily: "Lord Xu, today is to discuss how to send troops to pursue the rebels. Lord Xu should not change the subject. ”
Xu Liang has never had a good impression of this imperial history, and when he heard this, he shouted angrily: "Lord Zhang has protected Zhang Fengqi like this, but he has gained a lot of benefits from Zhang Futai?" ”
Zhang Yushi jumped to his feet like a cat with his tail stepped on and shouted: "Lord Xu has to frame this official!" Zhang Futai and that Zhao Yongyong, how can they be convicted by relying on the words of a small guerrilla general? ”
Xu Liang sneered: "This official remembers that in the Pingliang West City Gate incident, the reason why Ye Yanqing, the central guard of Anton, dared to seize the right to garrison the city gate from the Liang army was because of a warrant from Zhang Futai, which allowed Han Wangfu to successfully transport dozens of vehicles of weapons out!" The case files of the West City Gate incident are all recorded, and the human and physical evidence are all there! According to Lord Zhang's logic, is it also a one-sided statement? ”
All the officials in the council hall were a little dumbfounded, obviously discussing the issue of how to send troops, why did Xu Liang and Zhang Nianyun quarrel over the matter of Governor Zhang's mansion in a blink of an eye?
Governor Wu rubbed his brows in distress and shouted in a deep voice: "Enough! The Governor is only discussing the matter of sending troops today, and other matters are not to be said again! (To be continued......)
