But Wang Chengyin's subordinates were still aggrieved: "There's no need to accuse anyone, you are clearly framed!" Wang Chengyin's confidants couldn't bear it: "Anyway, you will die, if you fight each one, you will..."
"Yes, it's all one..."
Wang Chengyin's face was livid, and he was stunned on the spot, as if he was stupid.
Chang Yu laughed: "If I want to kill people, I never need to impose a crime. Now let's discuss the crimes you committed and see if you deserve to be killed!"
"If Lord Governor and you all can enforce the law impartially, even if you are facing death, you will admit it. Let's see what crime Lord Governor is punishing for death!" At this point, Wang Chengyin has also given up. As his subordinates said, He might be dead today.
"I'll convince you all," Chang Yu said and walked straight to the hall, ignoring Wang Chengyin's generals with swords. Wang Zhengnan and other personal attendants immediately rushed to his side. Forced by his momentum, Wang Chengyin and others in the hall dispersed one after another. After letting him into the lobby, Shi Kefa and others also came in one after another, but instead squeezed Wang Chengyin's men into the courtyard.
Chang Yu went to the lobby and sat down with his horse and gold sword. Shi Kefa sat down on his left side and stood side by side with the officials. A fan handed him a brochure. Chang Yu waved his hand and said, "Show it to General Wang."
Wang Chengyin took it and looked through it, his brows furrowed, his face getting bluer and greener, and his body starting to tremble.
"When the governor passed through Xuanfu Town half a year ago, you claimed to have more than 100,000 troops and more than 30,000 horses. After a great victory in Taiyuan, when the governor returned to Beijing and ordered the confiscation of Shanxi merchants, you checked the rosters submitted to the Ministry of War and found that the actual number of soldiers was more than 60,000. , more than 20,000 horses, but I didn’t know that when I captured the Shanxi merchants, I had secretly ordered the Jinyi Guards to verify the case of empty soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town. After careful inspection over the past few months, it really lived up to expectations. The actual number of soldiers was only more than 40,000, and the horses were only 10,000. Yu, Wang Chengyin, you should give me an explanation! The remaining men and horses were eaten by you!"
"This, this, how come there is such a big vacancy?" Wang Chengyin was nervous and sweating profusely!
"The governor also wants to know why there are so many vacancies!" Chang Yu shouted sharply. Wang Chengyin looked at the subordinates outside the yard and saw their expressions were different. He couldn't help but tremble: "You, you..."
He knew that there were vacancies. Looking at the nine sides, it was impossible that there were no vacancies. However, it was beyond his expectation that it was so big. He did not expect that layers of layers would add up to add up to a lot.
"There will always be losses in the past six months," a person in the yard said without confidence, and was immediately scolded by Chang Yu: "Xuan Mansion can only form a new army when it goes to war. He has already entered with losses. What about the rest? , nearly 10,000 people died of old age, illness and disease in half a year?"
"It has only been more than half a year since the last general took office as the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town..." Wang Chengyin wanted to excuse himself, but Chang Yu didn't accept his trick at all: "The governor did not pursue the matters before you took office, but now these are all yours Even if you don’t know the details of what happened during your term of office, as the commander-in-chief of a town, don’t you have the responsibility for oversight?”
"The punishment for negligence should not lead to death." Wang Chengyin knelt down with a thump. He couldn't hold on any longer because he was too afraid of death!
How afraid of death are you?
Historically, when Li Zicheng had just conquered Taiyuan, his surrender came. As soon as Li Zicheng accepted the surrender of Datong Jiang Yu, he sent people to meet the vanguard of the intruders... This impregnable defense line from Taiyuan to Gyeonggi, Unexpectedly, only Zhou Yuji stood in the way of Ningwu, and the rest surrendered voluntarily. Li Zicheng never dreamed that his eastern expedition to Beijing City would only lead to a real battle at Ningwu Pass. If he had known it would be so easy, why bother? It's okay to hide in Tibet for more than ten years and go straight to the capital.
Every time he thinks about this, Chang Yu feels both ridiculous and shameful, but more importantly, he is angry, so some people must be killed. He couldn't do it for some reasons before, but now that the Queen of Autumn is here, the accounts must be settled!
But in this era, after all, some things have not happened yet. If he were killed casually, he would be criticized by the government and the public, scolding him for eunuchs and harming the country, so Chang Yu had to find an excuse for him.
"Of course you are not worthy of death for negligence, but as for corruption and bribery, Chang Yu sneered. You can earn thousands of dollars in free salary every month. You also have bribes from your generals and wealthy businessmen in the city. Now three things have been confiscated from your house. One hundred thousand."
Wang Chengyin fell to the ground in silence and was dripping with cold sweat.
"Even if you take bribes, you won't die." There are people who are apologizing for him. In fact, they are also defending themselves. After all, these people are Wang Chengyin's subordinates and confidants, and none of them are clean.
"Of course it won't lead to death, but what about confusing the troops and damaging their morale during the war?" Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Wang Chengyin raised his head sharply: "How could the last general..." Suddenly he was speechless. He remembered Chang Yu's last time When he passed by Xuanfu and asked him to send troops to support Taiyuan, he was intimidated by the so-called million-strong bandit army. No matter what Chang Yu said, he believed it. Historically, he was too frightened to resist.
"If you feel that your crime is not worthy of death, then how about collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!" Chang Yu shouted sharply, Wang Chengyin was startled, and then shouted: "It's unfair, it's unfair, Mr. Governor, Mr. Shi, the general is unjust, the general is stationed in the garrison How can the border border collaborate with the enemy?"
"I can't wrong you." Chang Yu sneered: "You should know Fan Yongdou, right? You should also know the Kang family in Pingyang Prefecture and the Qu family in Qixian County. Yes, those who are doing business in Shanxi, as long as their business involves any place in Zhangjiakou, You don’t know, who hasn’t stuffed you with money?” Chang Yu said and looked at Shi Kefa next to him: “Master Shangshu, have you ever heard of those Shanxi merchants?”
"I have heard that these merchants not only smuggled and did business with the Mongols, but also secretly transported military supplies to the Qing people and provided various intelligence within the customs. They are full-fledged collaborators and lackeys." Shi Kefa sighed and looked at Wang Chengyin as he spoke: "As a propaganda official, you How could the commander-in-chief of the government not know anything at all?"
"Bizhi really doesn't know what's going on. If he knew they were colluding with the Qing Dynasty, I would have killed them long ago!" Wang Chengyin said quickly. Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Come on, these Shanxi merchants collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. It didn't happen in a day. It’s no longer a secret, I’m afraid only the one in the palace has been kept in the dark for so many years, and it’s only thanks to you adults that he’s been kept in the dark for so long!”
"Unjustly accused, unfairly accused." Wang Chengyin raised his hands and waved them back and forth: "These merchants were doing business in the Xuanfu. The general had taken care of them, but he never knew that they were collaborators..." With a bang, Chang Yu slammed the table: " You are still talking hard. I have been in Xuan Mansion for several months. Your every move is under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei. Have you done anything psychological? Those merchants who were imprisoned are not dead yet. Do you want me to mention it? They came to confront you." Chang Yu snorted coldly: "In addition to colluding with these traitorous merchants, the Mongolians also have a good relationship with you!"
Wang Chengyin's face turned pale: "No, no, Mo General has nothing to do with those Mongols. Oh, they are just ordinary merchants. Because the port was closed a few days ago, they just came to ask Mo General when the market will open... Mo General accepted them. Some money, but absolutely no collusion..."
Hey, he actually faked something. Chang Yu felt happy, Wang Chengyin, you are dead.
"There is no collusion? Isn't it called collusion after receiving money?" Chang Yu sneered and glanced at the civil servants around him, finally landing on Wang Chengyin: "Last night, the governor was attacked in Shacheng Town next to Tumubao. It was the Mongols. !”
"This, this" Wang Chengyin collapsed to the ground: "This has nothing to do with the general!"
"Whether it matters or not, we all know in our hearts." Chang Yu sneered, glanced at the officials who came with him, and raised his hand to point to Wang Chengyin's subordinates in the yard: "Look carefully, everyone is still carrying a knife. I do everything We all focus on evidence and will never accuse anyone wrongly. This will also be the case when you review the case later."
Everyone can understand what he said.
