Hong Chengchou looked stunned, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle Guo! Why are you so rude and beat up the undergraders! No matter what the lower officials say, they are also the officials of the imperial court! ”

Then, Hong Chengchou sat directly on the ground, and said: "In addition, Lu Butang's words are unfounded, how can Uncle Guo be so gullible, and beat the lower officials because of this, so that the lower officials will be wronged!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Hong Chengchou say this, he pointed to Hong Chengchou's hand and trembled: "Hong Yanyan, why are you so shameless!" Obviously, you yourself confessed to the parish that you designed to kill tens of thousands of rebels and their families. Tens of thousands! If you dare to kill them, why don't you dare to admit it! ”

"That's not the case, how do you let the subordinate admit it?"

"Lu Butang, if you want to harm the lower officials, you can directly ask the king to order the banner to kill the lower officials directly, there is no need to frame the lower officials like this in front of the uncle of the country!"

Hong Chengchou's clever tongue is like the zodiac.

Swish!

Zhang Gui pulled out his knife and directly slammed at Hong Chengchou: "That's okay, Ben Hou is still willing to believe in Lu Butang, and Ben Hou will satisfy you now and kill you directly!" ”

Seeing that the knife flashed, it was already rushing towards him, and Hong Chengchou hurriedly shouted: "I admit it!" Don't kill the officials! The lower official admits that it is! ”

Zhang Gui withdrew the knife and smiled secretly.

He knew that Hong Chengchou would give in at the last moment.

Hong Chengchou was already in a cold sweat at this time.

He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhang Gui withdraw the knife.

But then, Hong Chengchou realized that he seemed to be seen through by Zhang Gui.

So, Hong Chengchou said: "Uncle Guo, are you deceiving the official?!" ”

Zhang Gui snorted coldly: "If you are really not afraid of death, can Ben Hou Yan really deceive you?" ”

Hong Chengchou pursed his mouth and cried, then knelt on the spot, and kept hitting the ground with his head: "Uncle Guo, Lu Butang, please spare your lives!" Spare your life! ”

"Bet on it first! Let him write all the things he has done into a confession! ”

Zhang Gui commanded at this time.

"Yes!"

Sun Yingyuan arranged for someone to escort Hong Chengchou down.

And Lu Xiangsheng turned to Zhang Gui after Hong Chengchou was escorted down: "In the end, Uncle Guo is so powerful that he deceived him Hong Chengchou took the initiative to admit it, but the lower officials didn't expect him to be just a greedy person who was afraid of death." ”

"Those who manage people's lives may not spare their own lives."

Zhang Gui said a word, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Benhou came here on the order of Qin to select the most brave and good fighters in the righteous army, and form a tiger army, so that he can go to the sea to expand the border and conquer it." When the time comes, it is necessary to have a lot of cooperation from the Ministry of Laolu, and contact the Shangyi Army as soon as possible to recruit and recruit. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded and sighed: "Please rest assured, Uncle Guo, the lower officials will naturally do their best to cooperate, but they are just being by Zhang Yuhong and Hong Chengchou, and I am afraid that the righteous army will have a dislike for the officers and soldiers." ”

"It's not that it's irretrievable."

Zhang Gui said a word and said: "Before Ben Hou came to you, he asked my people from Xichang to ride fast horses and bring the holy oracle given to them by His Majesty, and let them quickly reply to Ben Hou. Except for Wang Zuogui and Miao Meibu, who have not yet received a reply due to their distance, and do not know whether the holy decree has been delivered to them, Ben Hou has already received a reply from the rebel army of various ministries, and they have said that they will come to you to see Ben Hou. When the time comes, directly in front of them, Zhang Yuhong and Hong Chengchou, the two culprits who slaughtered the rebels, should be enough to let them know the true attitude of the imperial court! ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Then the lower official will send someone to invite Zhang Yuhong to come, and he will ask him to discuss the matter of suppressing the thief, and then he will be taken down together." ”

Zhang Gui nodded: "That's it." ”

Zhang Yuhong received Lu Xiangsheng's official letter not long after, and he didn't know what the plan was, so he hurriedly came to Lu Xiangsheng's place.

And as soon as he saw Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Yuhong hurriedly asked: "Lu Butang, has the imperial court issued an order for us to suppress the thieves?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng lowered his face: "Take Zhang Yuhong, who is good at slaughtering the righteous army, to the main hall, and wait for the minister to deal with it!" ”

Zhang Yuhong was shocked.

At this time, an official school walked in and was about to take Zhang Yuhong, but Zhang Yuhong suddenly waved his hand and said, "Slow!" ”

Zhang Yuhong seemed to understand in an instant that Lu Xiangsheng was going to make the decision for the tens of thousands of righteous soldiers who were slaughtered by himself, so he sneered at Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Butang, do you really want to betray the world Shilin?!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "This hall doesn't understand what you said. ”

"Since the ministry can guess the truth about Wang Zuogui and the others being punished in Yulinwei, it is impossible not to understand the words of the lower officials!"

Zhang Yuhong said again: "Uncle of other countries and some traitorous ministers in the court want to use the extension of the border to solve internal worries, which is bad for Haili, which is exclusive to our gentry!" Otherwise, if you really have to wait for the imperial court to open the border on the Nanyang Islands, then the so-called foreign trade will now become domestic trade and be controlled by the imperial court! Therefore, for these superfluous people, even if they are forced to become anti-people, they cannot be allowed to go out! ”

"Even if it is a smuggler, it should be regarded as a betrayal of Huaxia! And Lu Butang, how could you like to see such a scene! Seeing that they are doing reckless military acts in order not to kill these common people themselves, it is bad for the interests of my gentry! Isn't it rare for you to be a scholar yourself?! ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "A gentleman should not speak for profit, but should seek well-being for the Ming Society and the common people in the world!" ”

Zhang Yuhong: "......"

It is indeed very powerless to talk about interests with an idealist.

Zhang Yuhong, like Hong Chengchou at that time, felt powerless after Lu Xiangsheng said this.

"I'd rather slaughter the redundant people than let the imperial court organize them to expand the border, you people are really despicable!"

Zhang Gui walked out at this time and said.

Then, Zhang Gui said: "Benhou is Uncle Zhang Guo!" Zhang Zhongcheng, what you said today can be regarded as making Benhou completely understand that it is indeed impossible to expect you Confucian scholars to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, because you only hope to empty the Ming Dynasty, and then change the dynasty to eat, as for the common people, it is just your parasitic nutrients in the Ming Dynasty. However, it is a pity that Benhou wants to make it easier for you to feed on the common people. ”

Lu Xiangsheng here signaled the official school to take Zhang Yuhong into custody.

And Zhang Yuhong, who had been detained by the official school, roared at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Zhang, you scourge! How far do you want to harm my Ming Dynasty?! ”

Zhang Gui knew that he had no intention of talking to Zhang Yuhong, so he only said, "Let's go down." ”

Not long after, all the rebel armies, except for Li Zicheng's future, all came to Lu Xiangsheng and met Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui said to these rebel troops: "You must have heard that Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei's troops were killed by the official army, and you must have doubts about the imperial court in your hearts, worried that the imperial court does not really want to recruit you, but wants to get rid of you quickly!" Today, Ben Hou is here to give you an explanation, let you know that you are also His Majesty's people, and there will be no situation where you cannot be tolerated! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui ordered: "Bring Zhang Yuhong and Hong Chengchou, who are slaughtering the rebels, to bring them up!" ”

Then, Zhang Gui shouted at these righteous soldiers: "These two people, one is Zhang Yuhong, the governor of Yansui, and the other is Hong Chengchou, who supervised grain and participated in politics, and they are the culprits who designed to slaughter tens of thousands of righteous people. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui shouted: "Chop!" ”

"Yes!"

As a result, the two major officials, Zhang Yuhong and Hong Chengchou, were pressed to the ground.

Then, just listen to the sound of a snort.

Only two sword shadows appeared.

The two heads fell directly to the ground.

"Good!"

The rebels cheered, and from then on accepted the imperial court's recruitment.

And only Li Zicheng did not have it, and he suddenly went to Shandong.
