Chapter 887: Phi Dao
"Second, over the years, your Guan Ning Army has spent millions of taels of Liao every year, and I am afraid that such a large sum of silver is not something that you people can swallow, and what other officials in the DPRK and China are sharing in it? You need to be recruited from the truth, and whoever confesses first will forgive his family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Same as the last time I copied the eight Jin merchants, this time is also a good opportunity to crack down on the Chinese officials, with the greedy nature of those guys, they will definitely not let go of this piece of fat, maybe the silver they make is not as much as these people, "But you need to have real evidence, and you must not bite others with empty words." ”
Li You did want to take the opportunity to deal with some court officials, but he also had no intention of expanding the struggle, otherwise who knows how this group of guys, who had no way out, would take the opportunity to deal with those officials who had a grudge against them? "Also, this time you led your troops to the north, and the officials of the DPRK and China delayed the distribution of grain and grass, if they did not collude with you, I would never believe it, who are the people involved in this matter? and all of them must be confessed, and no one must be left behind. ”
Li You stood up and looked down at them, and said word by word, "Anyone who confesses anyone's name, I will order someone to register it, if someone can't even confess an official who is not on the list, then his family will not be truly forgiven, and your family will soon be reunited in hell!" Is it all clear? After that, Li You walked out of the tent, "Now that it's clear, let's hurry up, and start confessing after all these Guanning troops surrender, remember, the earlier whoever confesses, the more confessions will be beneficial to your family; Also, although you are destined to die, how you die is also very different, as for whether it is a three-foot white silk, a glass of wine, or Ling Chi's waist, it depends on your performance in the past few days. ”
At this moment, even the guys who had collapsed on the ground just now immediately got up, even if they didn't care about their families, it would be good if they could make their deaths more comfortable, whether it was Ling Chi or beheading, they would never want to try, and then they conveyed Li You's will to the Guanning army under the escort of Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others.
These Guan Ning soldiers either witnessed or heard about yesterday's battle, and were already full of awe for the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, but now they saw that the holy decree would not hold them accountable without limit, and the only remaining bit of resistance also disappeared, and they carried weapons in batches under the leadership of their superiors, dragging grain and grass and other materials slowly towards Li You's camp.
When they arrived at the camp, they first laid down their weapons, and then transported the grain, grass and other materials to the specified location, and then began to set up tents for themselves under the command of the officers of the Beijing camp.
Next, it was Zu Dashou's turn to confess, and the professional experts of Dongchang and Jinyiwei had already made preparations in the tent, vacating several tents to wait for their confessions, and in each tent there were representatives from several different departments such as Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Jingying to listen to these people's confessions and collect the evidence they brought out, and anyone who wanted to help the Chinese officials cover up one or two would not be able to do it.
As soon as they heard that they could confess now, Zu Dashou and the others hurriedly rushed into the tents despite the fatigue of the days, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to confess all the things they knew, for fear of missing any of them, so that they and their families would suffer unbearable punishment.
Some of the unlucky ones who were a step too late and were occupied by others even cried outside the tents in a hurry, until Li You transferred people again and vacated a few more tents to pacify them.
Zu Dashou and others are also old and cunning people, they colluded with those court officials at the same time left a back hand, the account book of gifts and bribes, the list of implicated in this matter, and the records of those court officials, and even these people's other illegal things They also have records, the documents for copying confessions have almost broken their wrists in the past few days before they can barely enter all their confessions, and the documents recording these confessions are piled up in several tents.
After everyone finished confessing, Li You, Lu Xiangsheng and others took a brief look at some confessions, and suddenly felt furious, almost all the court officials and even small officials who handled the Liao salary were involved in this matter, up to the cabinet elders, the Shangshu of various ministries, to the magistrates on the way to transport the Liao, to the small officials of the household department, and the soldiers who escorted them, all of them regarded the hard-earned money of these people in the northwest as a good opportunity to make a windfall, racking their brains to share some benefits from it; If all the people involved in the case are dealt with according to the law, the scale of this case will never be under the Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, the Lanyu case and other major cases at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is just what happened in the allocation of salaries, if you count the collusion in the process of collecting salaries, I'm afraid there will be more damned people." Li You couldn't help but sigh and said, if anyone sees the things recorded on it, I'm afraid they have to sigh, if this Ming Dynasty doesn't die, it's simply unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very involved, and if all of them are executed, it may hurt Tianhe." Even Lu Xiangsheng, who has always not rubbed sand in his eyes, felt uneasy when he saw so many people involved in the case, if all of them were dealt with according to the law, at least tens of thousands of heads would have to be cut off, which would be a thing that shook the world in any dynasty or generation.
"I've already made up my mind about this, but it's too cheap to just kill them." Population is also a resource, and it would be a shame to waste these resources in vain, and they should be of other use.
"Pack up, let's get ready to leave in the next two days, General Lu, you will bring these Guanning troops back to Ningyuan and Jinzhou, re-screen, and train them strictly; I led the others to escort these guys and the evidence to Phi Dao for a trip and then back to Beijing from Phi Dao. "The problem of Guan Ningjun has been solved, but Dongjiang Town has not yet, since it is not easy to go out of Beijing, then it will be solved at one time.
In addition, if someone else escorted Zu Dashou and they still had these evidence, Li You would not be at ease, and he had to take them with him personally, and the guards of these witnesses and physical evidence were also replaced by Song Jun, who had no connection with the Ming officials.
After the two separated, Lu Xiangsheng took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to escort the elite of the Guan Ning army to Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and Li You took 20,000 elites to Phi Dao, and after a difficult trek, they finally came to the station of Dongjiang Town.
