Chapter 53: Who Rebelled
Wang Cong, who thought that something had happened to him, heard Ding Xiu say that he came to secondment of soldiers, and his heart instantly relaxed.
Although the occupation of servitude is somewhat excessive and unruly, it is not illegal.
What's more, over the years, when building a house, it has become an unspoken rule to go to Beijing to borrow soldiers.
In order to befriend these officials, Li Guozhen will not refuse at all when faced with secondment, not to mention that in many cases, these officials are not used in vain, and most of the time they will still give some symbolic remuneration.
Of course, this reward must be given to Li Guozhen, and it has nothing to do with these working soldiers.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Cong has long regarded the occupation of the army as a matter of course, and even yesterday Li Banghua sent someone to bring these soldiers back, but he was forcefully pushed back.
Anyway, he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, and the above is not unrelated, so it is not false to Li Banghua at all.
Therefore, after hearing Ding Xiu's intention, he thought that Ding Xiu was Li Banghua who had taken Cao Huachun's relationship and put pressure on him, so he immediately put up a fight.
"I'm here for the soldiers of the Beijing camp."
For the sake of prudence, Wang Cong still opened his mouth and asked more, "Did Your Majesty ask you to come?" ”
Feeling the change in Wang Cong's tone, Ding Xiu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, how did he feel that this Wang Cong suddenly became confident.
"A little thing, naturally there is no need to alarm Your Majesty."
Ding Xiu subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and then said, "It was Gonggong Cao who notified us to come over, does Lord Wang have any objections?" ”
"Oh."
Seeing that things were really as he thought, Wang Cong's demeanor instantly became arrogant, "The pavilion in the official mansion has been repaired, and the soldiers in the Beijing camp can't go back for a while." ”
"You go back and talk to Gonggong Cao, if he has any opinions, you can come to the official yourself."
To be honest, he really didn't dare to Cao Huachun and Wang Cong, but he was sure in his heart that Cao Huachun would definitely not come to the door in person because of such a trivial matter, so he spoke extremely hard, and he didn't take Ding Xiu and them in his eyes at all.
Hearing Wang Cong say this, Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Pei Lun, and Pei Lun also looked at Wang Cong with a confused face at this time.
The task they came here today was to find fault, even if they had nothing to do, they had to find something to do, and then take the person directly to the prison.
But Wang Cong dares to be so arrogant now, has he always been so brave? Don't he know what the three words Jin Yiwei represent?
"Lord Wang, the lower official will confirm with you."
Pei Lun took a step forward, took out a booklet from his arms, and said as he wrote: "The soldiers of the Beijing camp were indeed transferred away by Lord Wang?" ”
"So what?"
Wang Cong glanced at the booklet in Pei Lun's hand, this thing is a booklet that Jin Yiwei recorded when he handled the case, and sometimes it could also be used as a confession.
Because when Wei Zhongxian was in power, there were often Jinyiwei who reversed black and white in the records, resulting in many people being wrongfully imprisoned, so in folklore, this thing is called the Book of Impermanence, which means that Jinyiwei will die if it is recorded on it.
It's just that Wang Cong knows very well that this is just a note to record the facts of the case, and it is not a big deal at all, not to mention that it is no longer the time when Wei Zhongxian is in power, so he doesn't believe that he can have the courage to move him with two small Jinyi Wei General Banners.
So he didn't have the slightest scruple and said: "The official will say again, if you want someone, let Gonggong Cao come by himself." ”
"Just two general flags, dare to forcibly break into the mansion of this official, if it is not for the sake of Gonggong Cao today, this official will definitely join you tomorrow."
"Oh."
Pei Lun nodded, and didn't care about Wang Cong's threatening words, but picked up the brush and wrote down a few lines, and then read it softly,
"Lord Wang said that the soldiers in the Beijing camp were transferred by him, and he wanted to transfer the soldiers back, unless His Majesty sent Gonggong Cao to ask for someone in person."
"Huh?"
Wang Cong listened to Pei Lun's record, and always felt that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to admit it rashly, but just opened his mouth to rush to the people: "Okay, the official said, if there is something to let Gonggong Cao tell the official, you can go out from the official's mansion." ”
"Alas......"
Pei Lun sighed deeply, where is this fool, just this IQ can also be mixed with a six-grade outsider, if there are such officials in the court, it is no wonder that Da Ming will fall into such a situation.
With this sentence, Pei Lun dug two pits for him.
First, the transfer of troops and the occupation of the army are two different things, the occupation of the army is considered to be overdue, and now it is customary, even if it is a big trouble, there will be no problem.
Adjustable soldiers are different, you are a mere outsider, you dare to transfer soldiers from the Beijing battalion, what do you want to do? Rebellion?
And the second one, Pei Lun deliberately emphasized that the emperor should send Cao Huachun to important people, the focus of this sentence is not Cao Huachun, but the emperor, but Wang Cong's refusal to let go of troops.
Transferring troops without permission and refusing to return them, no matter which of these two items, if they are investigated deeply, it is a major crime to raid the house and destroy the door.
As a result, Wang Cong not only did not refute it at the first time, but was vague, this is not looking for death.
Pei Lun, who just dug a hole casually, has no sense of accomplishment in his heart now, because it is too simple, which makes him feel like a bully.
However, in the line of Jinyiwei, no matter what, the simpler the better, so he no longer struggled and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today." ”
After saying this, Pei Lun didn't say much, just waved his hand lightly, and the brocade guard behind him instantly surrounded him with a knife.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Jinyiwei actually drew his sword, Wang Cong's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "This official is an official of the imperial court, are you forcing each other with weapons, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Lord Wang, you are the one who wants to rebel."
Pei Lun shook his head, looking at Wang Cong's gaze as if he was looking at a fool, "Privately mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and when our Jinyi guards came to investigate, they resisted violently. ”
"Don't you really know what the nature of this thing is?"
When Pei Lun said it so clearly, Wang Cong's face became a little pale, he pointed at Pei Lun, and said with some horror: "You...... You framed me!! ”
"If you have anything to say, Lord Wang should go to the edict and talk about it."
Pei Lun was too lazy to say more to Wang Cong, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to let people take Wang Cong up.
It's just that Wang Cong seemed to react at this time, and he shouted again: "You dare! ”
"This official is a member of the six-rank department of the ceremonial department, there is no evidence, there is no driving sticker, you are also worthy of this official?"
Wang Cong directly let the family stand in front of him, and then continued to scold: "Reversing black and white, framing and framing, do you want to be the second eunuch?" ”
"This official is going to enter the palace to face the saint, I want to see, can he Cao Huachun cover the sky with one hand?"
"Lord Wang, when Jinyiwei handles the case, if there is obstruction, it will be regarded as an accomplice, and the law can be corrected on the spot."
"If there's anything going on, you can go to the edict to talk about it."
Pei Lun didn't care about the threat in Wang Cong's words, but looked at the family members who were holding weapons in front of Wang Cong with some danger in his eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"But for now, I advise you not to act rashly."
