Chapter 28 Borrowing the corpse to return the soul XXVIII
Qin Tai had already guessed the identity of this old eunuch, but Li Ding didn't know the details of this eunuch. As Hu Zongxian's personal captain, Li Ding is particularly majestic wherever he goes, and the people who greet him are inferior no matter how high his status is, because Li Ding represents Hu Zongxian. But this level is not high, but the old eunuch who is a lot older dares to look at him wrongly, which makes Li Ding angry. Li Ding definitely taught this old eunuch a good lesson who didn't know the height of the sky.
Li Ding deliberately raised the token in his hand and said to Ma Ming: "You don't know where I come from? Or do you look down on the general system? Don't you know the rule that seeing a card is like seeing an adult? ”
Ma Ming said very calmly: "The miscellaneous family doesn't know what brand you have. The name of Mr. Hu has been heard by miscellaneous families. As for a little person like you, the miscellaneous family doesn't want to know. If you take a broken brand, you have to shout at people, which is too unruly. Is this brand issued by the imperial court? Why don't you know each other? What right does Mr. Hu have to privately create tokens? Could it be that President Hu has always wanted to divide the territory and tear up the territory and stand on its own feet? The miscellaneous family is the superintendent of the Kunshan military camp appointed by the emperor, and there is no need to bow down to anyone except for the emperor's personal visit. Besides, the Kunshan military camp is subordinate to the Imperial Horse Supervisor and is not under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Governor's Office, so the miscellaneous family does not need to follow any orders. Alright, you can get out of the miscellaneous territory. ”
Li Ding is arrogant, and Ma Ming is even more arrogant than Li Ding. Ma Ming really deserves to be an experienced ** Chinese person. Even if you don't bully others, you are definitely not a master who allows others to bully.
Qin Tai saw Li Ding's angry pale face, and he didn't sympathize with this Li Ding at all. Because this Li Ding is too good at acting, Qin Tai almost fell for him. Since knowing Li Ding's true identity, Qin Tai looked down on this kind of bully in his heart. If Hu Zongxian hadn't sent Li Ding to protect him, Qin Tai would not want to see Li Ding again.
Qin Tai ignored Li Ding, and when Li Ding saw Qin Tai come out, he immediately realized his problem. Doing this on your own will only be detrimental to yourself, and it will affect the overall situation. If anything happens because of this, Hu Zongxian will definitely not let himself go. Li Ding immediately broke out in a cold sweat and retreated to the side and didn't dare to move.
After Qin Tai came out, he said to Ma Ming with a smile: "Father-in-law Ma, you are good." The next official is Qin Tai, the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department. came to investigate the case of borrowing a corpse to return the soul. Please don't be angry and cooperate more. ”
Ma Ming is not a fool, of course, he can see that although Qin Tai is young, he has absolute authority. When the arrogant guard saw Qin Tai come out, he was too frightened to speak, which showed that Qin Tai was the real leader of this group of people. As a eunuch, a eunuch who has lived in the palace since he was a child, he has always known how to read people and knows everyone's character and temper. The second is to be good at observing words and feelings. Ma Ming also learned a little bit of "Mai Physiognomy", and when he saw Qin Tai, Qin Tai's righteousness and majesty were immediately revealed. This righteousness and majesty are not innate, nor can they be impersonated artificially, but because of Qin Tai's usual performance, they have accumulated bit by bit. This kind of majesty and righteousness is that even Yan Song's father and son in the current dynasty dare not underestimate it. Because Qin Tai has no selfishness and is only dedicated to the country and the people, Qin Tai is more like an upright official than those "clear streams" who "moral articles" all day long. Ma Ming seemed to see Bao Qingtian in the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall in Kaifeng, Henan.
Ma Ming didn't immediately agree to Qin Tai's request, nor did he refuse, just looked at Qin Tai.
Qin Tai knew that Ma Ming couldn't make up his mind, so he whispered: "Father-in-law, do you know Zhang Jing, the new Nanjing Governor and Eunuch?" He was killed on his way to office. Xia Guan took over the case temporarily. There are all kinds of indications that the problem lies on the side of the Kunshan military camp. That's why the lower officials rushed to meet their father-in-law. There is also Shen Qingyun, who is also under the official, and Brother Shen wants to go down to the official to ask his father-in-law on his behalf. ”
Shen Qingyun was Qin Tai's same year and a good friend of Qin Tai. Many of Ma Ming's deeds back then were told to Qin Tai by Shen Qingyun. Qin Tai and Shen Qingyun admired Ma Ming very much, and made an appointment with each other, no matter who saw Ma Ming, they would say hello on their behalf. Qin Tai didn't lie, nor did he say big things.
Shen Qingyun is not only the same year as Qin Tai, but also the nephew of Ma Ming's eldest brother Shen Lian. When Shen Lian was there, he personally tutored Shen Qingyun's homework. once said that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves", and he spoke highly of this nephew. Of course, Ma Ming also knew about Shen Qingyun's nephew.
Qin Tai's words really moved Ma Ming, especially when Qin Tai said that he and Shen Qingyun were friends, and called Shen Qingyun his eldest brother, Ma Ming couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Shen Lian worshipped.
Ma Ming straightened his outfit and said to Qin Tai: "The military camp is heavy, and it must not be noisy. So you can't get so many people in at once. Lord Qin can bring in with a few of your men. However, General Hu's personal soldiers had to stay outside the barracks and wait. ”
Qin Tai gave "Ma Sandao" a look, and "Ma Sandao" immediately understood. Qin Tai actually didn't worry about Li Ding, so he left "Ma Sandao" to monitor Li Ding and restrain Li Ding and others. Qin Tai took Zhan Xiaoxiao and the two of them into the Kunshan military camp.
After entering the Kunshan barracks, Ma Ming did not directly invite Qin Tai into his camp, but introduced Qin Tai to many generals in the barracks. While Qin Tai knew the generals, he carefully observed their expressions. found that the deputy general Deng Tong was a little nervous, the partial general Deng Hui looked abnormal, and the general of the first battalion, Zhang Ming, was even more at a loss. It seems that these three people are very suspicious.
After introducing everyone, Ma Ming invited Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao into his camp together. As a prisoner, Ma Ming has his own camp and his own cronies. When they entered, the outside of the tent was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach. Ma Ming, a military genius, did not spend less effort.
In Ma Ming's tent, Qin Tai believed in Ma Ming's personality and told everything he knew without reservation. Ma Ming was also greatly surprised when he heard it, Zhang Jing may be corrupt, and he may use his position to do some illegal things, but he didn't expect to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and Zhang Jing himself is a Japanese national. When Qin Tai told the evidence and added his own analysis, Ma Ming had to believe this fact. If this case is announced, the whole ** will be in chaos in the future, and even Emperor Jiajing's throne will be unstable. It is more likely that the entire Daming country will face a major choice. In this way, the people will have to suffer again, and the war on the southeast coast will take a major turn. The Central Plains will usher in more than ten years, or even decades of war.
Ma Ming said: "Lord Qin, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, the miscellaneous family does not want the country to be turbulent. As a servant of the emperor, the miscellaneous family does not want to see anything happen to the emperor. As the playmates of the emperor who grew up together, no matter what the emperor thinks of the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family regards the emperor as their friend and brother, and the miscellaneous family does not want to see the emperor fall into chaos. Miscellaneous beg, be sure to calm this mess. As long as the miscellaneous family can help, the miscellaneous family will definitely go all out. ”
Qin Tai also knew this Ma Ming's loyalty, and to this day he is still loyal to Emperor Jiajing without complaint or regret, only Emperor Jiajing has always been dissatisfied with this Ma Ming.
Qin Tai picked up Ma Ming, who was about to kneel down to him, and said to him, "Father-in-law, you don't have to do this. Your behavior has long been an example for the lower officials. Xia Guan must find a way to deal with this matter. Now there are a few things to trouble my father-in-law, I don't know if my father-in-law is willing to help? ”
Ma Ming hurriedly said, "You say, you say." Miscellaneous family must listen to your arrangement. ”
Qin Tai said: "Now we have to go in several ways. First, the lower official asked his father-in-law for help, and sent his reliable subordinates all the way to secretly go to Jiangkou, which is not far away, to investigate carefully. There may be signs that the Japanese have lived there, and there may also be a lot of corpses of our Ming people. As long as it is proved that there were Japanese pirates living there, and I killed the people of the Ming Dynasty there. The Kunshan military camp, as the nearest military camp, can directly take over Jiangkou. Second, secretly investigate the whereabouts of Deputy General Deng Tong, Partial General Deng Hui, General Zhang Ming of the First Battalion, and their cronies in the battalion. In particular, they followed the affairs of the subordinates, so that the fact that these people served others in private could be confirmed. third, ask your father-in-law to help check the equipment in the Kunshan military camp; Whether the record is consistent with the facts. The lower officials suspected that Zhang Jing had resold armaments. Fourth, ask your father-in-law to secretly send a letter to the cronies in the palace, asking them to always pay attention to the attitude of the eunuchs in the palace towards Zhang Jing's death. Pay special attention to those who are about the same age as Zhang Jing, or who usually walk a little forward. Xia Guan was worried that there were people of unknown origin like Zhang Jing in the palace. ”
Ma Ming deserved to be a seasoned eunuch, he listened and memorized, and repeated it again after Qin Tai finished speaking, so as not to miss anything. After confirming that it is correct, go out and arrange for people to handle it separately.
After Ma Ming went out, Zhan Xiaoxiao said, "My lord, do you really believe in this Ma Ming's father-in-law so much?" Will he tell us about it? Could it be the opponent's pawn? And how can you be sure that Zhang Jing must have done something about armaments? ”
Qin Tai's short novel: "This Ma Ming's father-in-law is the father-in-law I mentioned to you." That is, the alternative eunuch. His temper and character have been able to decide his fate. He, like me, will never have smooth sailing, and will always have countless enemies and enemies. But his faithfulness and character can be absolutely assured. As for why Zhang Jing moved armaments, it is actually very simple. If Zhang Jing hadn't wanted to smuggle supplies from the Kunshan military camp, how could he have chosen such an abandoned port as Jiangkou. As long as Zhang Jing reveals his identity and the skills of the other thirteen officials, nothing can be shipped out in a righteous and bright way. Besides, it has long been an open secret that some high-ranking officials secretly have business dealings with the Japanese invaders. Yan Shifan is even more semi-openly doing business with the Japanese Kou, isn't it that the imperial court has not dealt with it? Zhang Jing must have transported some ulterior secrets, so he wanted to establish an offensive and defensive alliance at the mouth of the river and forced everyone to swear together. I suspect that Zhang Jing smuggled weapons and equipment from the Kunshan military camp to the Japanese invaders. Do you remember? When I was in Anhui, wasn't he an officer who came down from the front line, didn't he say that the Japanese were not only very familiar with the equipment of the Ming army, but also had some imitations? In fact, what he saw was not an imitation, but actually the equipment that Zhang Jing smuggled out. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao was shocked and said, "So Zhang Jing really deserves to die." Beat our own people with their own equipment, this kind of person will not solve his hatred even if he cuts it with a thousand knives. No wonder everyone says that traitors are more hateful than widows. Some ordinary people saw that the Japanese were just beaten and scolded, and when they saw the traitors, they gritted their teeth one by one. This kind of person is really not a thing than a wolf. I suggest organizing a killer who specializes in killing traitors, and see who dares to be traitors to the widows? ”
Qin Taida sighed and said, "Now that I am Ming, the biggest traitor is Yan Shifan. But his Lao Tzu is the first assistant Yan Song, and Yan Song is our most relied on minister of Emperor Jiajing. Without Emperor Jiajing's order, no one could move Yan Song's father and son. This is the greatest sorrow of my Daming. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and said, "It's a big deal, let's assassinate Yan Shifan." Wouldn't killing Yan Shifan and killing Yan Song make the world peaceful? ”
Qin Tai shook his head and said slowly, "Yan Song's father and son have been running their own territory for many years, and they won't be killed so easily. Do you know that Yan Shifan assassinates him with no less than 100 people every year. But he can always avoid it, and blame it on his loyal ministers. This is where he is so powerful, he can't hurt him and even the loyal ministers of the court, which is the reason why there have been fewer and fewer assassins in recent years. If you were 100% sure, I would have asked you to assassinate this traitor without you having to say it. However, Yan Shifan not only had masters around him, but also had the most well-equipped musket team, and no assassin could hurt him. He can only wait for the heavens to clean him up, until an empirical evidence of stumbling over him appears. That's the crux of my rush to solve the case. If I hadn't miscalculated, this matter must have something to do with Yan Shifan. Maybe you can use this matter to get direct evidence that Yan Shifan colluded with the Japanese and betrayed the Ming Dynasty. In this case, the merit is really complete. ”
