Chapter Twenty-Four: You Are a Spy

Datong won a great victory, repelled Altan Khan, inflicted heavy losses on the Tatar cavalry, and captured many of the captured people. This news made the government and the opposition very happy, and even Jiajing came out of the Jingshen and personally presided over the court meeting.

Pan Huang, the head of the household, is on the music, please commend the meritorious personnel this time. Although the main force that found the sorghum was Shen Lian, Shen Lian was not greedy. Moreover, Shen Lian was temporarily seconded to the household department to do this errand, and the household department naturally also had collective credit.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Liu Tong, no matter how much effort he makes, after all, he is assigned by the household department to assist Shen Lian, and he can be regarded as the second hero. Therefore, Pan Huang, who pushed him out of the back pot at the beginning, personally asked him for credit, and planned to be promoted to Tobe Langzhong!

Jiajing is in a good mood, this is a trivial matter, and there is no reason not to agree. However, Jiajing was used to letting others speak first, so he looked at Yan Song.

Yan Song came out of the class and said: "Being able to defeat the Tatars this time is really a long live Hongfu, and the soldiers will use their lives." The household department also has credit for collecting grain and grass, but thinking of the previous court, the old minister hesitated to send cavalry to rescue, and he was really guilty. ”

When everyone heard, this is the sun coming out in the west? Yan Song actually admitted his mistake in public? He's not that kind of person!

Jiajing smiled: "Aiqing doesn't have to be so harsh on herself. At that time, most of the courtiers opposed the mobilization of cavalry reinforcements, and there was no fault in brainstorming. ”

Zhao Wenhua suddenly stood up: "Long live, when the ministers opposed the cavalry rescue, it was because according to common sense, it was impossible to quickly prepare grain and grass. But I didn't expect Shen to make an extraordinary move, and with the help of the household department, he miraculously completed the task, as if he had already been conscious, which is really amazing! ”

He can say admiration, not admiration, that is, to make people understand that he is more surprised than admired. As soon as these words came out, the ministers who opposed the mobilization of cavalry immediately expressed their support, saying that this matter was indeed incredible.

Yan Song saw that the time had come, so he spoke: "Although this matter is very strange, but for the rumors of the government and the opposition, it is said that Shen Lian colluded with the grain merchant, and he knew that the Tatars would be Koubian, so he prepared in advance and hoarded Juqi, and the minister did not believe it."

As for saying that Shen Lian was a Tatar man, he had known about it for a long time, and deliberately colluded with internal and external parties to invite merit in order to get a high position, and the ministers did not believe it. It's just that when the ministers questioned it, it was really difficult for the ministers to explain. ”

Ding Rukui couldn't listen to it anymore, although he didn't want to go against Yan Song, but after all, he was the secretary of the military department, and he was also a beneficiary of this great victory, and he couldn't watch the biggest hero being put to death.

"Long live, what Lord Shoufu said is extremely true, Shen Lian will never be a profiteer, and as for the details, it is even more ridiculous. If Shen Lian was really a Tatar, would he have helped the Ming Dynasty defeat Altan Khan? According to the report of the general army of Zhou at the front, the Tatars suffered heavy losses this time, with more than 10,000 casualties! ”

At this time, Zhao Wenhua, the best person, immediately went online: "Long live, the minister heard that Shen Lian had traveled outside the Saiwai before becoming an official, and he had a wide range of contacts, not only grain merchants, but even horse dealers.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the Liao State was the king of Qin, entered the official career as a Song person, and repeatedly fought for the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty in the negotiations with Liao, and even personally supervised the army to repel the soldiers and horses of the Liao State. With his merits, he won the trust of Song Taizong.

In the end, in the battle of the national fortune of the two countries, he framed Yang Ye with his own strength, destroyed the Western Route Army, and let the Liao State win in the battle of the national fortune. Altan Khan's wolf ambitions, this kind of strategy is not useless. ”

Jiajing was already suspicious, and his trust in Yan Song was much higher than that of Shen Lian, who had only met him once, and he couldn't help but ponder when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Lu Bing who was standing beside him. Shen Lian was specially recruited by Lu Bing as Jinyiwei, and if Shen Lian had a problem, Lu Bing would not be able to escape the blame.

Before Lu Bing could answer, Yan Song spoke first.

"If this matter is to be investigated, only Commander Lu has the ability. I believe that Commander Lu will definitely be able to return Shen Lian's innocence. If Shen Lian really had a bad relationship, Commander Lu would definitely not be deceived by him. ”

Jiajing snorted: "Lu Bing, don't worry about this matter, leave it to the Criminal Department for investigation." ”

Lu Bing knew in his heart that this was to avoid himself, Yan Song may not be aimed at himself, but the warning was indeed there: Little brother, Shen Lian is dead, and Jesus can't keep him, I said.

If you're interested, we're still friends; If you are stubborn, it is not to give face. Shen Lian is not Xiao Wannian, he didn't save your life.

Therefore, Lu Bing bowed his head and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Jiajing was very satisfied with this attitude, and took the initiative to say: "Shen Lian's meritorious service has been widely spread, and the Criminal Department must be measured when investigating the case, and it must not chill the hearts of the soldiers." This sentence is Shen Lian's life talisman, if you are guilty, the emperor will naturally kill you, and it is absolutely not okay to die in prison!

After that, Jiajing habitually looked at Xu Jie: "What does Xu Qing think?" ”

Xu Jie immediately shook his head: "Long live Shengming, Lord Shoufu is reasonable, and the minister seconded it." ”

In just one day, Shen Lian went from the biggest hero of Datong's victory to a prisoner in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Jinyiwei committed a crime, and he should have been in the edict prison, but since Lu Bing avoided this matter, he naturally had to move the place, otherwise in the edict prison, with Lu Bing's face, Shen Lian is not the same as living in a post station?

Yu Maojian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was already returning to his hometown, and he was already going through the retirement procedures, and he just escaped this case that was not right even if he was investigated. Liu Tai, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was originally Yan Song's person, so he naturally let go of his hands and feet to toss Shen Lian.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lian's bones were extremely hard, and the skill of the criminal department was not comparable to the edict of Jinyiwei, so he found nothing here in Shen Lian. Liu Tai didn't dare to really beat Shen Lian to death, after all, there was the emperor's words. However, this is not difficult to bring down Liutai, all roads lead to the execution ground, not necessarily you Shen Lian opened his mouth.

Zhang Tianci got out of the water girl's quilt, and reluctantly stuffed the water girl with a silver ingot: "I have to go, the lady should be angry if it's too late." ”

The water girl smiled: "Since you are afraid that the lady will be angry, you shouldn't come to such a place." ”

Zhang Tianci shook his head firmly: "The lady and I are very fond of each other, I love her very much, but the lady and my interest always do not match, which makes people extremely distressed." Therefore, I can't help but come to the Qinglou. ”

The water girl covered her mouth and smiled: "There are thousands of people who come to the Qinglou, and your reason is the most special." If you are lustful, you will say that you are lustful, and you will blame it on the lady. ”

The two are regular customers, and the water girl is half of Zhang Tianci's confidant, so Zhang Tianci doesn't feel ashamed: "It's true." Every time I was in high spirits, the lady was always very cold, either perfunctory, or simply wouldn't let me touch it. But every time I was not interested, the lady was overly demanding, which made me miserable. Feelings belong to feelings, this thing really makes people want to cry without tears. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhang Tianci walked out of Chunyan Tower under the congratulations of the big teapot. As soon as he took three steps, he was held down by two six-door men, tied up and left.

Zhang Tianci shouted at Chunyan Tower: "What are you doing? Is it also a sin to enter the green building? You must be pretending to be officials! Mommy, help, big teapot, thugs, beat them! ”

My mother stood helplessly in the door and shouted: "Boss Zhang, it's not that I don't help, whether it's a real official or not, you are out of the door of Chunyan Building, and if I help again, it will be a broken rule!" People didn't come into my building to arrest people, they just gave enough face, you take care! ”

Zhang Tianci couldn't help beating, went to the prison of the Criminal Department, was whipped a few times, and the ghost cried wolf and said You can let me say anything.

Liu Tai was overjoyed and told him: "You just said that Shen Lian told you to buy sorghum!" You don't know anything else, and when Shen Lian is convicted, he can let you go. ”

Zhang Tianci hesitated: "But tell me that it's not Shen Lian who buys sorghum!" Isn't that harmful? ”

Another whip, Liu Tai leaned his ear over: "Your screaming is too loud, what are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly!" ”

Shen Lian was in a cell not far away, watching this scene lightly, knowing that Liu Tai was trying to frame himself. There is no need for more evidence, as long as Zhang Tianci bites to death the sorghum that he asked him to buy in advance, he will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

Because I can't explain why I should prepare sorghum in advance unless I already knew about the Tatar invasion plan? And once you decide that you know the military situation in advance, you don't report it, and it will be difficult for the country to make money, it is enough to be beheaded. As for whether it is a meticulous work or not, it doesn't matter at all. This is the viciousness of Yan Song's plan.

Looking at Zhang Tianci's appearance, he can hold on to it until now, and he will definitely not be able to survive tonight. Although Shen Lian's heart is like iron and stone, he can't help but sigh secretly at this time, my life is at rest, but I pity that the two children are still young.

Just when everyone's torture of Zhang Tianci reached its climax, an old jailer suddenly pointed at Shen Lian and said, "What do you see? Do you still dare to curse? With a whip, he rushed over and gave Shen Lian a whip, then turned around and went back.

Everyone was looking to see how long Zhang Tianci could hold on, and they casually glanced over here, and had no reaction to the old jailer's whip beating Shen Lian. But as the whip went down, a small ball of paper also landed on Shen Lian's hand.

Shen Lian opened the small paper ball, and there were only a few words on it: "Xiao Feng asked me to buy sorghum for unknown reasons." ”

Shen Lian stuffed the paper ball into his mouth, swallowed it and shouted, "Don't you guys stop fighting, don't you just let him say that I asked him to buy sorghum?" I admit it! ”
