- Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan said
In the East Factory, in the palm print hall, Meng Zhong, Zhang Wenyuan, Liu Yingkun, and Li Chaoqin knelt side by side, all bowing their heads and not daring to look up, with different expressions on their faces.
In the hall, Wei Zhongxian's face was expressionless, Wang Tiqian's brows were furrowed, but Liang Dong was gloating in his heart.
Li Yongzhen had a very good personal relationship with Meng Zhong, and he knew that Meng Zhong was not half-hearted, so he had to say a few words for Meng Zhong.
"Chitose, Meng Zhong is also a protector, and he made a claim in a hurry, he really didn't do it on purpose, and asked Chitose to spare him this time for the sake of his loyalty."
"If everyone is like him and makes a good opinion, where is our family?" Wei Zhongxian's anger had not yet subsided, and he glanced at Meng Zhong coldly.
Seeing this, Wang Tiqian slowly got up and waved his hand to the four people kneeling on the ground: "Let's get up, I've been kneeling for so long, I have old arms and legs, I'm afraid I can't bear it." ”
Wang Tiqian is the palm seal of Si Li, and he has the closest relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and what he said can be regarded as what Wei Zhongxian said, so Meng Zhong and Zhang Wenyuan both got up from the ground and said in unison: "Thank you, Princess!" Then he stood there and looked at Wei Zhongxian, and no one dared to say a word.
Wang Tiqian came forward, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but give him face, and he hummed slightly: "It's not that our family can't believe you, it's just that you shouldn't hide it from our family!" The black flag broke into the edict and stabbed the sky, but as long as our family is here, this day will not collapse! Besides, why did Yuan Dahai go to the edict, don't you know? ”
Hearing this, the corners of Meng Zhong's mouth moved, and he wanted to argue a few words for himself, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't speak. He knew that if he was left to explain it like this, Wei Zhongxian would not believe him, and the wisest choice was not to say anything.
Zhang Wenyuan, who was on the side, took a step forward and said cautiously: "The slaves and maids have thought of this, but Yuan Dahai is too bold and has done such a reckless thing without asking for instructions, and if he is not punished, the slaves and maids may be difficult to convince the public in the future." ”
Li Yongzhen also said: "A small hundred households, dare to act without the consent of the stall head, this time it is to break into the edict, next time will it not break into the Ouchi?" ”
Li Yongzhen's meaning is very clear, he agrees with the punishment of Yuan Dahai, but Wei Zhongxian is dissatisfied after hearing it: "Everything should be thought of in a good way, our family thinks differently from you, if everyone in the East Factory is like Yuan Dahai, there is only our family in their eyes, and there is no one else, then our family can wake up with a smile even if we are dreaming." No matter how difficult the mountain road is not as difficult as the world, no matter how dark the sky is, it is not as black as the hearts of the people, our family is now the target of the public, it is rare for someone to be so loyal, you say, should our family punish him or reward him? After speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Meng Zhong.
As soon as they heard Wei Zhongxian say this, Zhang Wenyuan and Li Yongzhen both "chuckled", and they both regretted that they shouldn't have said this. Meng Zhong's face was getting whiter and whiter, but his face was already bloodless, so no matter how pale it was, it didn't seem to have changed.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's spearhead aimed at Meng Zhong, Wang Tiqian felt that it was better to come forward and go down to the mud, Meng Zhong did not do this authentically, but he believed that it was impossible to say that Meng Zhong had a backbone in the back of his head.
stepped forward and persuaded: "Since the matter is out, then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water and soil will be flooded, as long as we get Wang Wenyan's confession, we will shoot directly. Chitose has already decided to deal with Donglin, whether the black flag breaks into the edict or not, it has no effect, all he is worried about is Luo Sigong who is sick in bed, but I think that even if he knows, he can't make a fuss. As for Liu Qiao, if you kill it, you will save trouble. ”
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Our family thinks the same way, Prince, according to you, who can replace Liu Qiao in the Jinyi Guard..."
As he was talking, a fan came in from outside the door and said, "Chitose, Yuan Baihu asks to see!" ”
"So fast?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned, then overjoyed, and waved his hand and ordered: "Call him in." ”
"How did Wang Wenyan recruit him?"
Looking at the confession with the big red blood handprint, Wei Zhongxian laughed and asked Yuan Dahai with interest, he didn't believe that Wang Wenyan was willing to confess obediently.
Yuan Dahai said respectfully: "His subordinates cut off one of his hands and threatened him, if he didn't recruit again, he would cut off his other hand." ”
"I see."
Wei Zhongxian was not dissatisfied, but let out a "hmm" and nodded: "Extraordinary means should be done at extraordinary moments, good, very good!" Turning to look at Wang Tiqian: "Yang Lian, they have indeed received the money from the Xiong family, you see, should we talk to the emperor." ”
Wang Tiqian smiled softly: "When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic." Now that there is evidence of the crime, it is time to let the emperor know Yang Lian's true face. ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, with Wang Wenyan's confession, he was sure to win, and the fierce light flashed: "First arrest the six people on this confession, as for Gao Panlong, Zhao Nanxing, and Zou Yuanbiao, don't even think about running away, our family wants to see, what these Donglin parties are fighting with our family!" ”
Li Yongzhen thought for a while, stepped forward and said, "When is Chitose going to do it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow!" Turning his head to look at Yuan Dahai: "If our family is not mistaken, you told our family that you want to open a factory prison, right?" ”
Yuan Dahai said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have always believed that those who Chitose wants to arrest must be tried by trustworthy people. ”
Wei Zhongxian listened, was noncommittal, and asked Wang Tiqian: "Prince, what do you think?" ”
"Chitose looks like it's done, but Black Flag broke into the edict prison and stunned Liu Qiao, if people are sent to the edict, they will make a mistake." After speaking, Wang Tiqian glanced at Yuan Dahai.
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, then turned to Meng Zhong and said, "From now on, you will vacate a piece of land in Dongchang and detain those people that our family wants to arrest!" ”
Meng Zhong and the others hurriedly responded: "The slave and maid take the order!" ”
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Yuan Dahai again, and said in a deep voice: "This factory prison will be handed over to you to take care of, you will interrogate our family one by one, and pry open their mouths for me one by one!" ”
Yuan Dahai was overjoyed, clenched his fists and shouted: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
