Chapter 15 The court is also sophisticated

"Tongzheng, this is Wang Qin's confession."

Smart people will not resist stubbornly, Wang Qin was arrested, and everything was recruited immediately.

Xu Jingchang took a not too long confession from Wu Shan's hand, but the content in it was shocking, Qiu Fu stole nearly 200,000 taels of silver from the national treasury.

This is a great sin, not to mention so much, even if you steal a piece, you will have to cut off your head.

Qiu Fu is really daring, and he dares to do anything wrong if he believes that he has merit.

This confession was handed over to Zhu Di, even if Qiu Fu was not killed, he would be removed from the title of Duke of the country and demoted to a commoner, it was inevitable.

The so-called revenge does not stay overnight, so that you Qiu Fu is arrogant and arrogant, and retribution is coming!

Xu Jingchang immediately stood up and walked outside, but as soon as he walked to the door, he stopped abruptly and returned to his seat. Wu Shan was puzzled and wanted to ask, but Xu Jingchang waved his hand and asked him to withdraw.

Wu Shan had no choice but to withdraw, leaving Xu Jingchang alone in the room.

He remembered Yao Guangxiao's words, four years of hardship, Zhu Di fought very hard, and many generals around him died, and several times he was also in danger, Qiu Fu blocked the knife for Zhu Di, and had a lifelong friendship.

is called a monarch and a minister, but it is actually a robe.

Ask yourself, can this bit of kinship of your own be better than the affection of other people's monarchs and ministers?

Even if he takes advantage of it, can he bring down Qiu Fu all at once?

Jing Nan has just succeeded, Qiu Fu is the first living military general, and he was immediately damaged, what will Zhu Neng and those people think?

Unloading and killing donkeys is not so fast.

Temples are also rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but human feelings......

Xu Jingchang pondered carefully for an hour, and instead of going to see Zhu Di, he called someone, "You go to Hou Shengyong's house in Licheng now and send him a message." The three divisions will interrogate, only ask right and wrong, I have my own Wang Fa Tianli, so he doesn't have to be afraid. ”

When his men heard this, they immediately went down.

At this moment, Sheng Yong's mansion is already a bleak storm, since the eldest son Sheng Zhen and below, the four sons are surrounded by Sheng Yong's hands, crying in a low voice, and the rest of the grandchildren are also waiting outside.

Sheng Yong is almost seventy years old this year, and he is an out-and-out veteran.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, he took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, first under Deng Yu, and later pacified Liaodong, and made many military exploits.

After the Jing disaster began, he first served Geng Bingwen as his deputy, and then followed Li Jinglong, and after Geng Bingwen's death, Li Jinglong was defeated, Sheng Yong took over the military power, and fought fiercely with Zhu Di for several years.

The Yan army suffered a big loss in his hands, and Zhu Di's number one henchman Zhang Yu fell into the siege of Sheng Yong and died in battle.

Another general, Tan Yuan, also died at the hands of Sheng Yong.

These two are the henchmen of Zhu Di's henchmen, although they are their own masters, but the upstarts of Jingnan also hate Sheng Yong to death, and they can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives and crush his bones and ashes.

It's just that killing people always needs a reason, Qiu Fu was slapped by Xu Jingchang, and in anger, he planned to get rid of Sheng Yong immediately.

happened to take advantage of Wang Qin's matter, so he said that Sheng Yong made false accusations, had ill intentions, and intended to rebel.

"Father, it's obvious that Yan Bing will rob the woman of a good family and do evil. My father went to save people, but he was framed, is there no Tianli King Law in this Ming Dynasty? Sheng Zhen said angrily: "The child is not convinced, the child goes to beat the drum and avenge his father!" ”

"Shut up!" Sheng Yong shouted angrily, and his old eyes wept, "Silly boy, what's the use?" Since ancient times, there have been fewer people who have been wronged? Besides, because my father doesn't know the number of days, he has to go against His Majesty, and even behead His Majesty's henchmen, no matter what, he won't survive. When you cry out for grievances, don't you put yourself in it? ”

Sheng Zhen and the others looked at each other, even more sad.

"Father, then, do you want to watch them turn black and white upside down and frame the innocent?"

Sheng Yong took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, my father has long seen it clearly, I am now in my old age, and I die without resentment." It's just that I once commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now I have to fall into the hands of the sword and pen officials, and the soldiers can be killed and not humiliated. General Li Guang committed suicide in anger, and his father finally understood his feelings. ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Yong stood up angrily, rushed to the table in a few steps, grabbed his sword, and was about to kill himself.

The sons were shocked, and hurriedly hugged their father and cried.

"Why are you so troubled! If my father doesn't die today, he will be bullied and tortured tomorrow in the Criminal Department, so what's the difference between dying early and dying late? ”

These sons looked at each other, and they all knew that what their father said was right, but as a son of man, how could he watch his father die?

The Sheng family was all crying and wailing.

At this time, someone sent by Xu Jingchang came over.

"Marquis Licheng, the political envoy of my family instructs you, you must believe that this Ming Dynasty still has heavenly principles, as well as royal law, and the three divisions will interrogate, and only ask about right and wrong."

When Sheng Yong heard this, he was shocked and surprised.

If someone else told him, he might not believe it, but Xu Jingchang's identity is too special, could it be that he can really protect himself?

"Father, no matter what, Xu Tongzheng is the nephew of the queen and the grandson of the king of Zhongshan. Father, it's better to believe Xu Tongzheng once! ”

Sheng Yong looked at these sons, tears flowed down his face, of course he didn't want to let go, just Xu Jingchang, can he turn things around?

……

"My name is Xu Jingchang, this is a famous post, I am here to visit Qi Guogong."

The men of Qiu Mansion realized who the young man in front of him was, as if he had seen a ghost.

Who doesn't know, the person that Grandpa Guo hates the most at the moment is this political envoy Xu Jingchang, if he wasn't afraid of his identity, he would have torn his face a long time ago, and now the three divisions will be interrogated not Sheng Yong, but Xu Jingchang, how dare you kid come to the door?

Although Menzi was surprised, he didn't dare to hide it, so he could only run in and pass in, and at this time Qiu Fu was chatting with his son Qiu Song.

"I have been fighting geese for my father all my life, but I was pecked by geese, and I don't want Wang Qin, a thief, to keep a hand!"

Qiu Song pondered for a while, and then said: "Father, why don't we set a fire and find a corpse at random, and say that Wang Qin does not want to be humiliated by merit, so he commits suicide in anger?" ”

Qiu Fu frowned slightly, "It seems that it can be, the key is Chen Ying, can he convict Sheng Yong?" ”

Qiu Song said: "His ability has been heard of by the child, and the old man Sheng Yong will definitely die." ”

Qiu Fu said again: "Killing Sheng Yong is only the first step. Next is Ping'an, Mei Yin, and their generals. All of them have to be replaced with heroes of the appeasement, we have worked hard for four years, and we can't keep these stumbling blocks. ”

The two were chatting, and Menzi ran in to report that Xu Jingchang was coming.

They were all amazed.

Qiu Song said angrily: "Father, this kid is bold enough to drive him out." ”

Qiu Fuluo muttered, "Let's meet, after all, he is the queen's nephew, and I also heard that Young Master Yao is very close to him." ”

Qiu Song had no choice but to invite Xu Jingchang in and the two sides met.

Qiu Fu said coldly: "Xu Tongzheng, today's trial of the three law divisions, the old man will go to the criminal department to observe, if you have anything, just say it quickly." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, "Qi Guogong, robbing the people's daughters, the crime is not small, but after all, it is all the soldiers below who are doing nonsense, Your Majesty arranged for the three divisions to be tried, lest you misunderstand the meritorious soldiers, which is the respect for the meritorious heroes." Qi Guogong should rest assured that there is no need to interfere in the questioning of the case. ”

Qiu Fu slammed his face, "What do you mean?" Do you want to stop the old man? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You Qi Guogong regards thousands of troops and horses, as if you have entered a no-man's land. Where do you dare to stop the late students? But I have a confession in my hand, and if you can stay, I will give it with both hands. ”

"Confession? What confession? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and handed it to Qiu Fu, "Please take a look." ”

Qiu Fu took it in his hand, looked at it twice, his hands trembled, and he did not hesitate in the face of thousands of troops, but at this moment, he was terrified, and the corners of his forehead were sweating.

"You, how did you get it?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I can only tell Qi Guogong that this thing is true, and I have no intention of being an enemy of Qi Guogong, but I also ask Qi Guogong's subordinates to be merciful and not to kill them all." ”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At this moment, Qiu Fu sat there silently.

Qiu Song was frightened, and said in his heart, "Father, what's wrong?"

"Dad, this kid won't bluff and deliberately scare you, right?"

Qiu Fu shook his head, "The number in this is exactly the same, and it can't be made up casually. ”

"So, what do we do then?" Qiu Song was dumbfounded.

Qiu Fu clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, "What should I do, I can't do anything!" Your father was planted in the hands of this kid at a young age! ”
