Chapter 46: The Truth
Out of the door came an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman, wearing a red light gauze dress with half-exposed breasts, and charming eyes with affection, who was Wang Wu's good look!
Yan Hong swung her willow waist and walked out of the door, and Si Pa half-hid glanced at Zhao Wei and chuckled: "This son, how is it in the house?"
Zhao Wei frowned, picked up the knife in his hand and pointed it with the scabbard and said, "My son-in-law wants to see you, you, follow me downstairs." ”
Yan Hong was still about to speak, Zhao Wei sent the knife in his hand forward, so frightened that Yan Hong quickly closed her mouth and honestly followed downstairs.
Xiao Xinrong saw Yan Hong and asked directly, "Wang Wu, do you know you?"
Yan Hong was about to deny it, Zhao Wei scolded: "Childe asked, I think I'm saying, if there is half a lie, be careful of the knife in your hand!" After speaking, there was a click, and the knife was half cut out of the scabbard.
Yan Hong shrank her neck in fright, swallowed the words in her mouth, and said: "Wang Gongzi often comes to Baihualou to find the slave family, and the slave family recognizes and knows ......."
"Can he give you an account book recently?" Xiao Xinrong asked unhurriedly.
Yan Hong's eyes rolled, and she was thinking about the other party's origin, and when she should say it, she heard the voice of this prince in her ear: "Wang Wu has been killed, if you don't hand it over, the next person to be killed will be you!"
"What? impossible, he only came a few days ago, how could he ......" Yan Hong looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
"He was shot and killed on the spot, and the body is in Yizhuang, you can see it yourself. Xiao Xinrong said coldly, he doesn't talk to such people on weekdays, but today he had to put down his identity and explain a few words in detail for the sake of the case.
Yan Hong wiped her tears, although it was just a dew couple, but Wang Wu had not yet reached the age of confusion and made a generous move, I heard that there was no wife in the family, Yan Hong saved a little thought, looking forward to being redeemed by Wang Wu one day, and getting along every day also has a bit of true affection in it, how can I hear that the person is gone, and it is indeed a little sad.
At the moment, he said sadly: "Wang Gongzi did hand over a package to the slave family a few days ago, and said that if something happened to him, he would send the package to the prefect, but what slave family in it had not opened and seen. ”
Zhao Wei didn't wait for his prince to speak, he went upstairs directly into Yanhong's room, and found the package with a toss. When it was placed on the round table and opened, there was a handwritten booklet and a letter inside.
Xiao Xinrong opened the booklet and flipped through it at random, and the booklet recorded the number of stones and grains produced on the days of the month and the number of taels of silver recovered. After reading it roughly, he set the book aside and opened the letter.
The letter explained how he and how to secretly exchange the military rations with Chen Mingxuan, a general in the army, and said that someone was following him Chen Mingxuan already knew about it, and in order to prevent Chen Mingxuan from killing people and killing people, he left physical evidence for Yanhong, but he didn't expect to be poked by a word.
After Xiao Xinrong collected the physical evidence, he directly got on the horse and led everyone to the barracks to arrest Chen Mingxuan.
The guards of the barracks saw a group of horses galloping over in the dust, and stepped forward and said, "The barracks are heavy, and it is forbidden to enter!"
Zhao Wei dismounted and handed over a sign in his hand, which was the token of Prince Alcohol's Mansion, and the guard knelt on one knee after seeing it.
"Chen Mingxuan can be in the camp?" Zhao Wei asked, taking the token back into his arms.
The guard stretched out his hand and said, "General Chen is there in his schoolyard." ”
Xiao Xinrong and a few people dismounted and walked to the school field, only to see that there were soldiers training inside.
Zhang Hu shouted: "Which one is Zhang Mingxuan?
Everyone stopped their movements when they heard this, you look at me and I see you are all stunned, Zhang Mingxuan separated from the crowd and walked out slowly.
Stopping in front of Zhang Hu, Zhang Mingxuan recognized this person as the person who chased him that day, but he didn't expect to find himself so quickly. Looking back, there was a boy with a grim face standing among several guards, and asked, "You are Prince Xiao Xinrong, I didn't expect that I would be able to find out about me!"
"Looking for death!" Zhang Hu saw that he was so disrespectful to the prince, so he didn't say much, he directly clenched his hands into fists, and greeted Chen Mingxuan's front door.
"It's a good time!" Chen Mingxuan jumped back, stretched out his hand and pulled out a short gun from the weapon rack next to him, and smashed it on the top of Zhang Hu's head.
Zhang Hu didn't dare to slack off, and when he pulled out the knife on his waist and raised his hand to block it, the two weapons collided together and made a sound of eardrums.
General Lin Duan heard the report of the guards and did not dare to slack off the big meteor to come to the school field, and when he saw the token in Zhao Wei's hand, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said in his mouth: "I don't know if the prince has arrived, and the end will be far away." ”
Xiao Xinrong glanced at him: "This king came today to arrest the mastermind behind the sale of military rations. ”
"Mastermind?" Lin Duan couldn't come back to his senses, looked at the two people fighting in the field, and asked, "Is the mastermind that the prince said is General Chen?"
"Chen Mingxuan is your subordinate, he did such a thing, and you didn't even notice it?" Xiao Xinrong asked coldly.
Lin Duan was so frightened when he heard this, no wonder a few days ago, this Chen Mingxuan took out a few bags of silver to honor himself, and he wondered how he could be so generous with his situation.
I didn't expect it to be the silver from the sale of grain, but I didn't expect this Chen Mingxuan to hide so deeply, and a cold sweat broke out on his body instantly. glanced up at Xiao Xinrong, only to see that he was watching the fight in the arena with great attention, and he had no time to take care of himself.
Lin Duan turned to the field, only to see that Chen Hu had gradually gained the upper hand, and a few moves forced Chen Mingxuan to be in a hurry, Lin Duan felt that the opportunity could not be lost, reached out and pulled out a spear on the shelf, and joined the field with a loud shout.
After a long time of fighting, Chen Mingxuan felt that his wound was aching faintly, and he gradually had no power to fight back.
At this time, Lin Duan also joined in, and by the time Chen Mingxuan heard the wind and wanted to dodge, it was too late. I had to take a step to the side to avoid the vital parts, Rao was also pierced by a hole in his waist, and he was also stumbled a few times, kneeling on one knee.
Chen Mingxuan untied the belt around his waist, strangled the wound hard, stood up again with a short gun on the ground, and said: Come again! Before the words fell, he rushed towards the two again.
Chen Hu saw that this person was already at the end of the strong bow, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, and when he saw the person rushing over, he raised his knife and slashed diagonally, and Lin Duan also held a spear to add it.
After several entanglements, Chen Mingxuan was caught in the back by Chen Hu's knife unsuspectingly, Chen Mingxuan fell directly, Lin Duan followed and raised his spear to make up for it, but was blocked by Chen Hu with a knife: "Stay alive!" Lin Duan stopped helplessly.
The military doctor who came later stopped the bleeding and bandaged Chen Mingxuan's wounds, and after he came to his senses, he found himself in a military tent, with Xiao Xinrong and a few people sitting around, and said with a wry smile: "If you become a king and lose a king, the prince wants to kill and listen to him." ”
Xiao Xinrong asked, "Why do you want to take the risk of killing your head and reselling military rations?"
Chen Mingxuan was silent for a while, knowing that he couldn't die well, so he confessed happily and just wanted not to affect his family.
Tell the truth, the parents at home are old and the children are young, and the family has begun to be hungry due to the drought for many years, and they have no choice but to join the army.
Thinking that the higher the position, the more money will be paid, and there is always no problem in raising a few people in a family, who knows, the military salary is exploited layer by layer, and there is very little left after it is in hand, seeing the generals in the army eating and drinking, he is also indignant in his heart, but he is powerless to change.
In desperation, he had to take a risk and put his hand into the military rations. After speaking, Chen Mingxuan begged for mercy and said: "This matter was done by himself, the old and young in the family did not know, half of the silver from the sale of grain was distributed to the generals at all levels in the army, and the other half was left a little hidden by himself, and the rest were bought and transported back home." ”
At that moment, he dictated several generals who received their own money, and Lin Duan was impressively listed. Chen Mingxuan was detained and put in a prison cell. Xiao Xinrong took thunderous measures to arrest all the generals who took bribes.
The Daming County Rebellion case was cracked, and dozens of people were arrested for embezzlement and bribery, shocking the government and the opposition.
