Chapter 22: The Trap
Jinzhouwei is in the southernmost part of Liaodong and the farthest from Liaoyang.
In addition, Yang Chengying thinks that he has done a lot of things that "have no law".
It's enough to kill the head several times.
Therefore, while constantly sending people to inquire about the news in Liaoyang City, he and Luo Sanjie slowly marched towards Liaoyang.
It wasn't until they got the news that the other three guards of the four guards in southern Liaoning had returned safely, and they accelerated.
After arriving in Liaoyang City, Luo Sanjie went to the governor's yamen to meet Wang Huazhen.
Yang Chengying led his subordinates to the pavilion to rest, preparing to wait for Luo Sanjie to come back before discussing the next move.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he heard noisy footsteps outside.
Yang Chengying hasn't gotten up yet.
The guards hurriedly walked inside, bowed down and reported: "General, this place is surrounded by heavy troops. ”
"What?" Yang Chengying frowned, and said in his heart, could it be that I was accused of pretending to be an envoy?
That's not right! According to the time, Shen Guangxi should have just arrived in the capital.
Just as he was thinking about it, a cold shout came from outside: "Yang Chengying, come out for me." ”
When the guards heard this, they became anxious, "I'll wait to escort the general to break out." ”
"Don't panic!" Yang Chengying pressed down the feeling of panic, "Let me go out and take a look, I can't act rashly without understanding the situation." ”
He walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs to the entrance of the pavilion.
A group of Ming soldiers all showed their blades, and the tips of their knives were facing the door.
With the appearance of Yang Chengying, this group of soldiers automatically branched out from the middle.
A burly middle-aged man with a goatee appeared in front of Yang Chengying's eyes.
"You are?" Yang Chengying thought about it carefully and didn't know him.
The man laughed and said, "The foot doesn't know me, but I know the foot." ”
"Oh? Please ask the name of the high surname! ”
"Mao Wenlong."
Yang Chengying's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect to meet Mao Wenlong, the famous mouth cannon god in the late Ming Dynasty and the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town of the Ming Dynasty on Phi Island, so soon.
After thinking about it again, Yang Chengying suddenly remembered that Mao Wenlong had lived in Liaoyang City as early as when Yuan Yingtai was serving as the governor of Liaodong.
According to historical records, Mao Wenlong fled Liaodong by boat after the fall of Liaoyang.
"It turned out to be a Hongmen feast!"
Now everything is understood.
The previous summoning of the four guards in southern Liaoning was a disguise, and he was the real target of Wang Huazhen and Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong sneered: "No way, who made the battle of Liaoyang too dazzling, it can't help but make people suspicious." How about you please come with me to Governor Wang? ”
Looking at their posture, if they don't go, they will be rough, and if they go, if they are self-defeating, the things they do are enough to be cut off several times.
After thinking about it, Yang Chengying still decided to go, "Please lead the way in front of the general." ”
"Then please!" Mao Wenlong flashed to the left.
A prisoner van appeared in front of him.
The guards couldn't sit still, and pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, their faces nervous.
Yang Chengying motioned to them not to show their blades, and walked forward and came to Mao Wenlong.
"Please."
"General Mao, have you forgotten how I commanded the soldiers and people of the city to fight against the slave chieftains?"
"Yes."
"Now that you know, arrange a prisoner car for me to pass through the market like this, and I am not afraid of causing even greater turmoil. Shenyang is close at hand, and Liaoyang will know as soon as there is a wind and grass. In case they take the opportunity to attack, how to solve it? ”
Yang Chengying stared at Mao Wenlong coldly and threw the question to him.
"This ......"
Mao Wenlong thought about it, so he had to say: "I don't dare to take the opportunity to escape, so you don't have to take the prisoner car." ”
Then he ordered a horse to be brought in.
Yang Chengying turned over and got on his horse under the supervision of everyone.
Together with Mao Wenlong, he went to the governor's yamen.
After arriving, they went to the public court together.
On both sides of the public hall stood officials with stern expressions, and there were also some officials, dressed in official uniforms of various grades.
Wang Huazhen sat behind the table and saw Yang Chengying coming, and was shocked.
Bang!
"The person standing under the hall is Yang Chengying?" Wang Huazhen asked sharply.
"Exactly down there." Yang Chengying replied with confidence.
"And do you know what crime you have committed?"
"I don't know."
"Collaborating with Li Yongfang is the first crime, transgressing the military is the second crime, controlling the Ming staff as a civilian is the third crime, and wantonly mobilizing the Tiger Brigade is the fourth crime. All crimes are capital crimes! Can you admit it? ”
Boy! In addition to the things he did in southern Liaoning, the rest of the things are listed in detail, could it be ...... No! It must have been Luo Sanjie who was forced to confess.
The old fellow did not dare to say anything about the envoy, for fear that he would be implicated. only dared to confess these things, and picked himself up completely.
"Left and right, hit Yang Chengying's leg hard and let him know the rules of the hall!"
Wang Huazhen saw that Yang Chengying was standing straight, and gave an order.
When the official heard the sound, he raised his stick and was about to strike.
"Wait!"
Yang Chengying generously admitted: "I did all these things, and you don't need to be punished." ”
Wang Huazhen heard this, and said with a smile: "Even if you know each other, this scripture will slightly remember that you are young and ignorant, and sentence you to a decisive decision, so that you will die without much pain." ”
"If the Governor wants to kill me, he can do so at any time. Just allow me to argue a few words, this should be fine, right? ”
"Of course, you say."
"I said I did it, which is true, but there is another secret."
When Yang Chengying said this, he took a deep breath and began to argue.
"My lord, if I really collude with the slave chieftains. On that day, when I led my corporal out of the city, I could have allowed the enemy to blend in with my sergeant, so I didn't have to wait until now. ”
Yang Chengying continued to explain: "Moreover, if I had the intention to collude with the slave chieftain, I would not have taken a huge risk to go out of the city, using Li Yongfang as bait, and even almost caught Nurhachi. ”
"Third, the root of my transgression is Yuan Jinglue's authorization. Yuan Jing knows how to use people and dare to give me power, so that I can lead everyone to resist the attack of the slave chieftain army. ”
In the end, Yang Chengying changed his words, "At this time, where is General Mao?" ”
The spearhead is directed at Mao Wenlong.
"Your Excellency!" Mao Wenlong hurriedly defended, "Yang Chengying secretly changed the concept, and none of them responded to the four major crimes." ”
Wang Huazhen ignored him and opened his mouth to ask, "How do you explain the first charge?" ”
"After I am cleared of my charges, I will tell the adults alone that it is a confidential matter, and I will not be able to answer it on the spot." Yang Cheng replied.
Wang Huazhen was a mess militarily in history, but she was not a stupid person.
He asked, "What about the third?" ”
"The answer is very simple, Luo Sanjie was saved by me. I just asked him to make a step into the body so that I could meet Yuan Jingluo. As for why you want to do this, you can only tell adults when you talk to them alone. ”
"What about the fourth?"
"The Tiger Brigade Army is Yuan Jinglue's family, Yuan Jingluo doesn't want these good men to be disbanded with his dismissal, and begs me to take them with me, so that they can kill the enemy and serve the country in the future."
Wang Huazhen was silent and did not continue to ask.
Mao Wenlong was completely anxious, and said: "My lord, Yang Chengying is clearly quibbling, he is just a sentry, and he is not qualified to mobilize the Tiger Brigade at all. ”
"The Tiger Brigade is a family, it does not belong to the regular establishment of the Ming Dynasty, I raised it!"
Yang Chengying said sternly.
