Chapter 712: Salt on the Knife's Edge
Yan Ru saw that Liang Rufei directly changed to the fatal matter, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liang, when the marshal of my family heard the news of the invasion of the Tartars, he immediately mobilized people from all walks of life in Xuanda to go out to fight the thieves and rescue them. It's just a story that this time the Tartars captured 100,000 iron cavalry, and divided dozens of places along our Great Wall, our army will inevitably take care of one or the other, and the troops will be scattered; Second, in the spring, the Tartars invaded, and the border army suffered heavy losses, so the vitality has not yet recovered. In the three cold winters, the reserves of grain and ammunition were not sufficient, and they had to collect forage for the cavalry. Therefore, we mobilized troops and horses, replenished money and food, and delayed some efforts. After waiting for the exit of the fortress, the generals were worried about the great strength of the Tartars, and they did not dare to enter, so it was delayed for a few days. My family's military gate was anxious about this, and I was anxious to lead a team of cavalry to Malianbao to relieve the siege first, but all the generals said that as the commander-in-chief, if he rashly threw himself into the enemy camp and no one presided over the overall situation, he was afraid that it would be against the country and Yu Qincha would not be beneficial, so he gave up. To say that my family's military gate deliberately delayed, it is extremely wronged, and I hope that Mr. Liang will say a few kind words in front of Qincha. ”
When Liang Rufei heard this, he laughed miserably and said dejectedly: "Do you want me to speak well in front of Qincha?" That's not necessary. Yang Junmen, you said that Mr. Yan is your confidant, then I will only say this sentence to the two of you. In the middle of the night of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, General Ma Lu sent troops to the right guard to relieve the siege of Malian Fort; General Ma Fang led his elite troops to attack at night and burn the forage of the Tartars. This great victory, presumably Yang Junmen's scouts also learned about it. In Xia Bucai, he also followed the army that night and lit a few fireheads. I didn't have an itchy hand for a while, so I captured the princess of the Tartars, Zhong Jin Hatun, and dedicated it to Qincha. ”
When Yan Ru heard this, his face changed slightly. He said: "Mr. Liang is strong in martial arts. Not only meritorious arson. He also captured the Tartar nobles, which is gratifying. ”
Liang Rufei smiled bitterly: "Master Yan, you are trying to praise Liang's head." If I had known, I would have killed this little Tartar girl with a sword, so as not to suffer in the future. Junmen, you also know that my family is very romantic, although the princess of Tartar is only ten years old. She looks really beautiful. When my young master saw it, he couldn't help but want to be close to her. Who knows, who knows...... Hey, who knew that the little slut actually hid a dagger in the boot tube, and stabbed Qin Cha to death while Qin was unprepared! You say, does Liang still have a way to live? ”
When Yan Ru heard this, his face twitched slightly, but he saw that Yang Shun suddenly said angrily: "Liang Rufei! If you do such a thing, I don't think there is a way to live! Now...... Now Chin Cha is martyred. The first one is to cut off your head! Why have you come to me now, because you are afraid of sin and have absconded? ”
Liang Rufei sighed: "Since Liang is here. It is trustworthy to the military. My head, you want to cut off the military gate, but you can only do it. It's just that before cutting, there is one more thing, but it must be reported to the military gate. After the confession, if you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, anyway, it will crush my bones and scatter ashes, and the eldest young master will not be able to save it. ”
Yang Shun said: "You say." ”
Liang Rufei said: "Originally, we won a battle, but now, Qin Cha has died, and the army of Malianbao is suddenly leaderless. Although several generals and commanders agreed not to mourn secretly, rumors gradually spread, and some soldiers and civilians were whispering, which could not be concealed for long. If it is only about marching and fighting, it is better to say. Since the fodder has been burned on the thirtieth night of the lunar month, the military horses of the Tartars cannot last, and they will retreat sooner or later. There are still a lot of defenders in the city, plus the support of Malu's soldiers and horses, there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and they can defend for ten days and a half months, which is as easy as a hand, and they are not afraid of the Tartars breaking the city. Even if the army's morale is unstable, for a little time, at least it can be suppressed. It's just that Liang followed Qin Cha for a long time, but he knew that Qin Cha came to Xuanda Mansion this time, and he visited along the way, with two boxes of secrets and seven or eight locks on them. This box is not far from the Qin Cha, but it is personally guarded by several family members of the Yan Mansion, and the key is usually in the hands of the Qin Cha himself, and I heard that it is full of urgent official documents. What kind of clues to secretly visit the military and civilians, and torture the confessions of spies. Including the previous Shenjiazhuang blood case, Jinyiwei went to investigate the scene after hearing the news, and found a bag of case files from Shen Lian's body, and I heard that it was also among them. There are also some chapters written by Qin Cha to Long Live Ye, private letters to Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao and Lu Dadudu, all of which are sealed inside. In addition, it is said that the silver tickets for filial piety, land deeds, and rare treasures from various places are also in it. So these two boxes of things are really worth a lot of money, who doesn't covet them? Now for these two boxes of things, everyone is making a fuss. ”
Yang Shun heard the two boxes of things, and the muscles on his face had already twitched a lot. Especially listening to the case file next to Shen Lian's corpse and the recital to the emperor, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and involuntarily stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. He glanced at Yan Ru and hurriedly asked, "Qin Cha died unexpectedly, just working together, why do you make a fuss?" ”
Liang Rufei said: "It's a long story. Let's first talk about the concubine Mrs. Zhang, who is also seen by Yang Junmen, who is not only beautiful as a flower, but also bold and spicy, very scheming, and strong in martial arts, and Qin Cha is the most favored. She saw that Qin Cha was stabbed to death, and after crying and making trouble, she preemptively took the key that Qin Cha carried, claiming that this Tartar princess had assassinated her, there must be a mastermind, she was a person around Qin Cha, and before the truth was revealed, these two boxes of things could only be controlled by her, and could not be given to others. And the group of clerks and clerks who accompanied Qin Cha, two of them were the heads, called Master Zhang, Mr. Liu. These two guys only transcribe official documents for the Qin Cha on weekdays, and they learned the bad news of the Qin Cha, and they actually came out with a shy face, saying that if there is a deputy envoy, they will be replaced by a deputy envoy. Now that there is no deputy envoy, the two of them are deputy envoys, and they should sign jointly and hold the king's order banner together, and these two boxes of things should also be in their hands. Where is Mrs. Zhang willing to pay attention? At that moment, he drew his sword and almost knocked out the front teeth of the head kang clerk. These two poor sours together are not Mrs. Zhang's opponents, and the two of them are intrigued, so they can't be stronger than her. ”
Yang Shun frowned, and Yan Ru said first: "Mrs. Zhang's words are not right, she is just a concubine, and she is not a lady of the main house, how can she be the winner?" Besides, Qincha's things are not only private property, but also official documents, how can they be occupied by her as a woman? These scribes are even more ridiculous, and the people who are dogs below also want to get involved in the secrets of the Qincha? ”
Liang Rufei said: "Who said no." In the opinion of this lady, although she is spicy and fierce, she is a lonely family in the end, not to mention that Qin Cha still has a wife in Beijing, but she is the daughter of the governor of Lu Dadu, just saying that the Mrs. Sun left in Datong is not under her, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However, the rest of the people in Marenburg also refused to give in to each other. There are also a few henchmen around the eldest young master of my family, all of whom are generals of the Yan Mansion, saying that since Yan Dashao died of illness, of course these boxes of things should be brought back, and handed over to Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao for disposal first. is supposed to play the imperial court, send six parts, could it be that Yan Ge is the first assistant of the first product of the dynasty, and he can't be the master? However, Wang Ting, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, who accompanied him, said that Yan Dashao's envoy to Xuanda this time was actually arranged by Governor Lu, and he himself was a senior official of Jinyiwei and the son-in-law of Governor Lu. Since he was killed, he should have put away these two boxes of things by Jinyiwei and sent them to Governor Lu Dadu for decision. The two sides are also at loggerheads. It is said that there are only a few guards in the Yan Mansion, and there are more than 200 people in the Jinyi Guard in Malian Fort. But after all, Governor Lu's prestige can't suppress Yan Ge's old age, if he really relies on brute force to snatch things and offend the Yan Mansion family, and turns back to Yan Ge to ask the guilt, isn't Governor Lu only responsible for the brothers below? Therefore, the two sides only fought verbally, but did not move. And Mrs. Zhang had already collected the key herself, and the matter was so deadlocked. I heard that Jinyiwei wanted to send someone to inform Yang Daye, a thousand households in Datong, and asked Yang Daye to bring someone to come and snatch these two boxes of things and transport them directly to Beijing. In this way, even if Yan Ge's old face is not good-looking, Governor Lu can transfer flowers and trees, and the black pot is also called Yang Daye to carry it, and the Jinyi Guard of Beijing City will not be connected. ”
When Yang Shun heard that this thing was going to be handed over to Yan Song or Lu Bing, and Yang Daye would be notified, his face was white and blue for a while. Yan Hong went to Xuanda this time and recorded how many black materials he had, and Yang Shun himself couldn't get it for sure, but at least some of his shady deeds would inevitably enter Yan Hong's file. Especially in the days when Yan Hong was trapped in Malianbao, he hated Yang Shun in his heart, and he didn't know how many bloody pieces he wrote. If this falls into the hands of Yan Song, and Yan Ge Lao knows that his godson has delayed the rescue of the soldiers and killed his grandson, then why not strip Yang Shun alive? It would be even worse if it fell into the hands of Lu Bing, he Yang Shun and Lu Bing didn't have any friendship, but it was his opponents in Xuanda, Yang Daye and Ma Fang, I heard that they all had Lu Bing's backstage. If this thing enters the yamen of Jinyiwei, most of Yang Dadudu's head will not be able to be saved.
Liang Rufei didn't care about Yang Shun's face, but continued: "It's just that these two groups of people are fighting. The Yan and Lu families have always been good friends, and there is actually no difference between giving things to Yan Ge Lao or to Lu Dadu. But there are also people in this brocade guard, who are Yan Qincha's two henchmen, one is called Yun Chuqi, and the other is called Ye Zhengfei. These two people are also brothers to the eldest young master of my family, and they have been promoted to Jinyiwei by virtue of the eldest young master, and they have been promoted steadily, and they are very domineering, and they often skip the command. Originally, this brocade guard wanted to present the box directly to Governor Lu, but they jumped out and said that the secret of the Qincha could not be given to Elder Yan Ge or Governor Lu. It should be temporarily sealed, presented to the imperial court, and another capable person should be selected to take over the Qin mission, come to accept it, and report it directly to the emperor.
