Four Donglin court officials died.

Died at Chaoyangmen, and his body was hung high.

This slap was not only the face of the imperial court, but also the face of Lang Guogong, who was far away in Shenyang City.

Is it the lack of strictness of the emperor, or is it the work of hostile forces?

No matter what the actual result is, it is a provocation to the Duke of Langguo, who has just won a great victory in Liaodong.

As if to calm people's minds or calm people's discussion of the incident, the Shuntianfu had reported the final investigation results of the case to the cabinet three days ago, and the next day it was announced to the whole city of Beijing, and at the same time, four criminals had been arrested, and they had been escorted to the vegetable market for questioning and beheading on the same day.

As for the closing statement of the conformity: the seven criminals are all from Yanqing Prefecture, Xuanfu, all of whom are soldiers of the former Yanqing Mansion Guard, because they are afraid of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, they are dissatisfied with the imperial court's several conscriptions and gold, and they have a grudge against the imperial court, and because of the delay in military affairs, they were tortured by the generals, and they held a grudge, and at the beginning of November, they seized the horses in the army, took the bow and weapons and armor, became bandits, fled and plundered all the way to Beijing, and the four dead court officials met them on the way back to Beijing in Shijingshan, and encountered accidents.

As for why he was hanged at Chaoyangmen?

Suncheonfu's announcement: Maybe it's revenge.

Therefore, throughout the article, the core meaning of Shuntianfu is one point: this matter has nothing to do with the government, let alone the Duke of Langguo, it is just a disaster caused by a few bandits.

"Do you believe it?" In the tavern, the people of the capital discussed the matter.

"Letter? Believe it! This cliché, looking at it throughout, is full of loopholes that cannot be inferred, what are the retreating bandits? I see," the middle-aged man sneered: "It's just that someone wants to take the opportunity to smear Lang Guogong to make this move!" ”

"But does it work? You and I can see the stupid schemes, those who are in charge of the court, can't we all see it? Humpty Dumpty's companion frowned, a little puzzled.

"You don't understand this, what is it called?" The middle-aged man smiled, looking confident: "This is Yangmou!" ”

"Yangmou?" The companion sighed lightly and leaned forward halfway: "What do you say?" ”

"Everyone knows that Lang Guogong will not risk the world's condemnation so much, and send people to kill several ministers in the hostile forces directly, this move is meaningless except for a bad breath and Lang Guogong himself, so. The focus of this move is not to put the hat on the head of Lang Guogong, but to remind the ministers of the cabinet of the DPRK and the central government, and also to remind the emperor that Lang Guogong has already made great achievements and has almost no one to control. ”

"Murderous?" The companion muttered a repeat.

"Yes!" The middle-aged companion pointed to the table with his finger: "So, now everyone is watching to see how Lang Guogong will face this situation after returning to Beijing, this is the point!" ”

"So, who did this?" The companion still didn't understand.

"I don't understand this?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and his voice instantly deepened: "From the beginning of the war to the present, there have always been discordant voices in the southeastern provinces."

"Oh?" The short and fat man was still a little unsure: "Isn't this a pebble hitting a stone?" Why bother? ”

"The fate of the literati is to leave a name in history, why should I understand?" The middle-aged man waved his hand and picked up the wine on the table: "Dry, dry!" ”

"Please!"

In the restaurant, the two were talking, and there was a commotion on the street next to them.

"Lang Guogong has returned to Beijing!"

"The frame honor guard has reached thirty miles outside Chaoyang Gate!"

"Hurry up, go and see!"

"Welcome Lang Guogong!"

"Let's go!"

Lang Guogong returns to Beijing?

The middle-aged man and his companion were stunned, put down the wine glass at the same time, took out the broken silver from his sleeve and threw it on the table: "Let's go!" Go to Chaoyangmen! ”

At the same time, the whole restaurant was in a mess, and most of the people had already gotten up and rushed towards Chaoyangmen.

Everyone wants to see how Lang Guogong, who has returned from victory, faces the whirlpool of public opinion and the dark hand this time.

Crunch !!

Appeal!!

On the official road, the frame is parked, and more than 100 people are escorted by Le Ma, and the front and back are crowded, and on the official road, at this moment, it is already full of people who have come to watch, and the crowd is crowded, cheering and cheering.

"Meet Lang Guogong!"

I don't know who shouted, and hundreds of people knelt down at the same time.

On the official road, for a while, no one dared to look up at Wang Qi directly.

The mountains are shouting and the tsunami, and the people are longing.

"My lord, I've arrived at Chaoyangmen, but the official road is full of people, and I can't walk," Wang Shouxin's voice came.

Wang Shouxin was a little puzzled, his whereabouts along the way were kept secret, and he didn't know who leaked the news, so that the people in the city knew that now the official road was blocked, and the frame was almost impossible to move an inch.

In the sedan car, Wang Qi, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes: "Get off the sedan car." ”

"Drop off the sedan !!"

With Wang Shouxin's order, the sedan car landed safely.

As the curtain of the car car was lifted, Wang Qi's figure appeared.

On the official road, when everyone saw Wang Qi's sedan chair falling, they all quieted down.

But after Wang Qi, who walked out of the sedan chair, glanced at everyone, he did not speak, and his eyes finally fell on the head of the city of Chaoyangmen, where the four corpses were hung that day.

Then, slowly moving up, there was a three-story city tower with Chaoyang Gate, one of the windows had been wide open, but it was too far away to see the figure in it.

"Heh," although Wang Qi's eyes were full of smiles, he looked at him coldly: "It's really a scheming!" ”

"My lord, let's go to the city, the guards are guarding you," Wang Shouxin walked up, there were too many people around, in case of a commotion, I am afraid it would be troublesome.

"No," Wang Qi retracted his gaze, ignoring the guards around him, but walked directly towards Chaoyangmen.

As Wang Qi took a step, all the people within a zhang automatically gave way to a road, and scattered like a tide, hunched and bowed their heads, as if they were greeting the most revered hero of the empire.

If there is a mistake in Shanhu, then this silent action reflects the weight of Langguo Gong in the capital and in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, Wang Shouxin and other relatives also hurriedly stepped forward, followed Wang Qi's footsteps, and walked towards Chaoyangmen.

In front of the Chaoyang Gate, Zhao De, the commander of the city, led all the soldiers, and also took two steps back, silently letting go of the side, not daring to make any eye contact with Wang Qi.

In this way, in an unusual silence, Wang Qi, the Duke of Langguo, returned to the city of Beijing.

At the same time, on the Chaoyang Gate, on the second floor of the city tower, behind the open window in the middle, the master and servant sat and stood together.

From this angle, you can just see the location where Wang Qi just got off the sedan chair, and you can also see the crowded scene on the official road.

Through the screen, there was a click, and it was the sound of a fan closing.

"Pass the decree and immediately summon the Duke of Langguo into the palace!" The familiar voice came from behind the screen.
