Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 152 God's Turn

Liu Jintang groaned secretly in his heart, these unscrupulous people are enough to cause headaches, why is there another imperial envoy?How is this going?

No one knew what was going on, anyway, Wu Yong brought such a group of magistrates and Jin Yiwei, and Shi Shiran came to them, seeing everyone still standing at the door, he couldn't help frowning: "Why, Don't let us in?"

The hat is buttoned a little heavy.Who is Wu Yong? Even the imperial palace Yuwan can come in and out freely. What is a small house with thousands of households?How dare you not let him in?Many well-dressed beasts saw sweat on their foreheads, so they bowed and bowed: "See you, father-in-law!" They gave way one after another.

Yang Menglong asked carelessly: "Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Wu Yong glared at this bastard: "You didn't make trouble, do you think our family likes to eat ashes all the way, and ran thousands of miles to this poor country?"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "Understood, understood, I will definitely give you a big red envelope later, it's money for your feet."

Everyone at the scene was stunned again, their foreheads touched the ground, they didn't dare to raise it a little bit, and a word twitched repeatedly in their chests: "This fucking is bribery! This fucking is bribery! This fucking... "I've seen a lot of bribes, but it's the first time I've seen a bastard who gave bribes in front of so many people!But the problem is that the one who gave the bribe was justified, and the one who accepted the bribe had no sense of shame. He was also justified, and gave Yang Menglong a look of "you are the right one". He shook his sleeves and walked in. Yang Menglong immediately followed, like a small pug.

Chen Song scolded in a low voice: "How dare a eunuch be so arrogant!"

Liu Jintang was in no mood to care about Wu Yong's arrogance or not. He was sweating profusely and said in a low voice, "What's going on? Why did the imperial envoy come at this critical moment?"

Chen Song glared at him angrily: "How does this officer know!" He walked in angrily.The current situation annoyed him very much. A group of military households didn't give him any face. Play off!A little carelessness, I am afraid that if the mutton cannot be eaten, it will cause a whole body of mutton, so I don’t want to be annoyed!

Why did Wu Yong come to a small place like Wuyang?
It's very simple, shortly after the self-willed and impatient emperor issued the decree to dismiss Yang Menglong and investigate him, the victory documents from Wuyang Guard and Nanyang Mansion also arrived.The victory report of Wuyang Guard is written a bit casually: "...with 100 elite soldiers, they met [-] grass bandits on the banks of the Shahe River. In a bloody battle, [-] people were beheaded, [-] people were captured, and they fled to Wuyang So far, the grass bandits have been completely wiped out." Although the writing is very brief, it still surprised Chongzhen.The current Daming is full of smoke, and there are refugees and grassroots looting houses and even killing officials to rebel. The local guards are corrupted to the extreme, and they can only be wiped out by the rebels. How can they have any combat achievements?A few officers and soldiers who were more capable of fighting did not work hard, urging for money and food every day, but there was no decisive victory. It seemed that they were playing with a family of officials and gangsters, using the emperor as a monkey.This guy is good, he doesn't complain about suffering or tiredness, and he doesn't even ask the court for a penny. When the grassroots come down the mountain, he will lead people to stop them, and wipe them out in one battle!If the success report of Wuyang Guard is a fake, then the success report of Nanyang Mansion is much more detailed and credible. First, the reality of rampant grass bandits in Nanyang, howling in the mountains and forests, and the inaction of Nanyang Guard is revealed one by one with beautiful and fierce words. , and then praised Wuyang Guard as immovable as a mountain and aggressive as fire. The grass bandits were wiped out as soon as they came down the mountain, and the grass bandits in Nanyang were almost wiped out!In the end, they didn't forget to sue Liu Jintang, saying that this bastard raised the bandits' self-respect, instigated the grass bandits to rob Wuyangwei, and tried to drive away the tigers and wolves!A memorial with five parallels and six parallels, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the order is clear. Although many of them are grievances and insults, it is quite enjoyable to watch.Chongzhen counted, good guy, there are enough signatures of a prefect and thirteen magistrates below!The Chief Secretary of Henan sued Yang Menglong for negligence in his duties, and the Nanyang government sued Liu Jintang for playing with the enemy and raising bandits. What's going on?

Chongzhen was a little dizzy, but he still clarified a little bit of the context, that is: the thousands of grass bandits who could have roamed Nanyang were indeed annihilated, and he did not have to pay a large sum of money to suppress the bandits!Comrade Xiao Zhu, who had no worries about his wallet, was in a better mood and less impatient. He asked Sun Chengzong to be found and asked this scheming old man to help him find out who was lying.Jiang is still too old. Old man Sun carefully read these memorials, pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "Nanyang Guard Commander Liu Jintang is lying!"

Chongzhen asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

The old grandson didn't answer and asked instead: "Does the emperor still remember Yang Menglong, a thousand households in Wuyang?"

Chongzhen began to feel dizzy again.He is in charge of such a big and smoky country, and there are so many things to do every day, his eyes are so tired that he can't remember the names of thousands of households in the district!

Sun Chengzong said: "In January of this year, Yang Menglong killed four slave cavalrymen in the countryside of Dingxing in civilian clothes, and rescued hundreds of villagers; then when he led the villagers to flee to the county seat, he set up an ambush again in the black forest and wiped out ten soldiers. Five Jiannu rode; finally in Dingxing, Jiannu besieged the city, and after Zhang Qianhu escaped, he led a city of soldiers and civilians to defend the isolated city, and finally joined forces with Lu Xiangsheng and Master Lu to wipe out the three Jiannu in one fell swoop! "

Chongzhen's eyes also lit up, he patted his forehead, and said: "After listening to Mr. Sun say that, I also remembered, it is that daring lunatic! Is he now?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, that's right! The veteran has spent most of his life and has seen countless people, but this kind of young hero is really unheard of! Just imagine, the emperor, he is still a commoner, and he dares to fight to the death for a group of irrelevant villagers. Now He is already a thousand households in Wuyang, and he has received the golden gun bestowed by the emperor. The wealth of the holy family is the same for a while, so how could he neglect his duties and allow the grass bandits to plunder his jurisdiction!" Picking up Liu Jintang's memorial, contemptuously Said: "Liu Jintang, a coward, greedy, and cowardly, let him lead 1000 troops to fight day and night, and wipe out [-] gangsters in World War I? It's better to expect the gangsters to encounter mountain torrents while crossing the river and be killed by all of them." Drowning is more realistic!"

Now Comrade Xiao Zhu has completely remembered. Wasn't that young man the stupid young man who beat Jiannu so hard in Dingxing and made himself look bad?The three Niulus of Jiannu were completely annihilated. This was an unprecedented victory!His Wuyang Qianhu was sealed by himself. I remember that Lu Xiangsheng had praised Yang Menglong many times. He knew Lu Xiangsheng's ability. In terms of martial arts and fighting, few people could compare with him and get such a person. Everyone praises him, what kind of fuel-saving lamp is Yang Menglong?He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have decreed that Yang Menglong would be dismissed from his post and investigated!He knew the urinary nature of the officials of the Ming Dynasty very well. He had no other skills, but they were very good at playing the tricks of obedience and treason. If you asked them to "dismissal and investigate," they would kill you first and then punish you, or even not punish you after the execution!Finally, he found someone who was more capable of fighting. If he was killed like this, who would he cry to!Therefore, Comrade Xiao Zhu didn't care about saving face. Without saying a word, he sent Wu Yong to rush to Wuyang to save the people first!
Wu Yong hurried to Wuyang, and finally arrived at Wuyang in time, but he was still surprised by the hot situation at the moment: Good guy, it doesn't matter if the military households showed their knives, Wuyang Guard even dispatched the army. What's the trouble?Could this be a rebellion?Fortunately, seeing him coming, Xiao Yufang breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly gestured to the military households "Be calm and calm", and everyone calmed down with a sense of face, and stopped shouting and killing. Otherwise, Eunuch Wu is really hard to do things.

Wu Yong came to the living room and sat down. The old servant offered fragrant tea. He took it, took a look at the old servant who was over 50 years old, and asked Yang Menglong in surprise: "Yang Qianhu, there are only a few of them in your house." An old servant? Why can't a young maid see it?"

Yang Menglong said in his heart: "It's none of your business, even if there is, you can't eat it!" However, it seemed that he was here to help him, and he replied honestly: "The old servant saves money, and I take care of three meals a day." Meals, just give me some pocket money... Please young ones, how expensive it is!"

This string of money is really hopeless!

Wu Yong almost spit out a mouthful of tea, while Fang Yizhi groaned almost to the point of collapse.As for Chen Song, Liu Jintang and others, they showed disdainful smiles, bumpkins are bumpkins, and they don't even know how to enjoy this!
Wu Yong decided to talk about the business, and if the chat continued, the devil would know what shocking words came out of that bastard, and he would be stunned!He put down his teacup, straightened his clothes, and asked solemnly, "Do you know why the emperor sent our family to this remote place?"

Everyone said in unison: "I still hope that the father-in-law will make it clear!"

Wu Yong said: "Nanyang is known as the hometown of emperors. Its head is resting on the cows, its feet are on the Jianghan, the east is based on Tongbai, and the west is on the Qinling Mountains. , Your Majesty is extremely furious at this grass bandit rebellion, and must investigate this matter strictly! Master Liu, Lord Yang, you all said that the other party neglected their duty and neglected their duties, and you all took the credit for eliminating the grass bandits to yourself, which caused the emperor a headache, and you don’t know why? Who is right and who is wrong. Please confront me now and explain the matter clearly, so that our family can return to Beijing and report to the Holy One, and please the Holy Majesty to make a decision... Our family's ugly words are the first, and you must not lie in front of our family, otherwise, Our family will make you regret it forever!"

Yang Menglong was calm and composed, but Liu Jintang's expression changed drastically!
