Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

In troubled times, when order is broken down and disordered, the most taboo thing in life is indecision, because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you hidden in visible and invisible places.

The higher the status, the more delicate this situation becomes.

The turmoil in the capital continued to ferment, and at that time, the atmosphere in Datong Town became unusual.

Yanghe.

Xuanda Governor's Mansion.

"When did General Huang become so timid?"

In the main hall, Wei Zhongxian, who was leaning on the official hat chair, looked at Huang Degong with a half-smile, "When our family was in Xuanfu Town, we still thought that General Huang would arrest a group of people related to smuggling in the Xuanda Governor's Mansion. , I didn’t expect that General Huang didn’t arrest anyone. What’s wrong? Is General Huang scared?”

"Going back to Mr. Wei Chang, the general is not afraid."

Facing Wei Zhongxian's gaze, Huang Degong was neither humble nor arrogant. He cupped his fists and saluted: "General, I feel that Xuanfu Town needs to be cleaned up, and Datong Town, which is adjacent to it, should focus on stability. General, I can send some people to Yanghe to question. , but if this happens, the situation in Datong Town may suddenly change."

"Then... aren't you still afraid?"

The corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Huang Degong and said: "When General Huang was ordered to suppress Zhao Ni, he dared to order his subordinates to fire cannons in Tianshou Mountain, and he was not afraid of disturbing the imperial mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain. Why did he arrive at Datong Town? Are you losing your courage and courage?"

Huang Degong frowned.

"The arrested traitor Feng Jiahui, after these days of interrogation, have you confessed anyone related to him?" Wei Zhongxian didn't care, reached out and patted the red python robe he was wearing, and asked again with an indifferent expression.

"Don't tell our family. General Huang is stationed in Yanghe with his troops. He just eats and drinks all day, right? He doesn't do anything else at all, right?"

"This thief has confessed to some people."

Huang Degong clenched his hands that were hanging down, frowned and looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "There are many people involved, from the deputy chief soldier to the commander-in-chief, and this does not include some hereditary guards officers!"

Compared with when he worked with Fang Zhenghua, although Fang Zhenghua was the eunuch in charge of the royal horse and the admiral of the Western Police Factory, his attitude was very good and he was even treated with courtesy.

But when he met Wei Zhongxian, Huang Degong couldn't stand Wei Zhongxian's temper.

"Then why not catch him?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Are you waiting for them to collude in private confession?"

"The general has just made it clear."

Huang Degong suppressed his dissatisfaction and faced Wei Zhongxian's gaze.

Grasp?

Easier said than done!

With the elite group under his command stationed in the important place of Yanghe, it is still possible to maintain the superficial stability of Datong Town. Huang Degong knew that many people were waiting and watching. If he dared to make any changes, he would be killed in an instant. Datong Town will be completely in chaos.

Even if it gets serious, the Mongolian tribes in Hetao adjacent to Datong Town will definitely take advantage of the civil strife in Datong Town to rush into the border defense of Datong Town and then loot Datong Town and other places.

If this is the case, even if the treacherous scum related to smuggling is caught, Huang Degong may not be able to escape punishment. Even if the emperor does not punish him, what about the civil servants in Beijing?

"Haha... It seems that our family came to Datong Town in advance, and we really came to the right place."

Seeing Huang Degong's attitude, Wei Zhongxian was not angry. He lifted up his robe and laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about the past. General Huang, you immediately select a group of reliable people to hold our warrants and protect the lives of those involved." People came to Yanghe immediately and said that our family had important matters to discuss with them."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Huang Degong's eyes changed when he looked at Wei Zhongxian. Even at this moment, Huang Degong looked at Li Ruolian, who had been silent beside him!

"What? It's what we said just now. Didn't General Huang hear it clearly?" Seeing that Huang Degong remained silent, Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Does General Huang need us to repeat it again?"

"Mr. Wei Chang, are you sure you want to do this?"

Huang Degong's Adam's apple squirmed and he confirmed to Wei Zhongxian.

"It seems that General Huang didn't hear clearly."

Wei Zhongxian chuckled and said, "Our family has told us that General Huang will immediately select a group of reliable people. With our family's warrant, the people involved will come to Yanghe immediately and tell them that our family has important matters to discuss with them."

crazy! !

Seeing Wei Zhongxian like this, Huang Degong thought to himself.

Yes.

You, Wei Zhongxian, have come to Datong Town, but where are the people from your Dongji Factory?

They are all still in Xuanfu Town! !

Just Li Ruolian and dozens of other Luan Guards came to Datong Town with you. With such a small manpower, it would be too courageous to call all the people involved to come to Yanghe!

"Commander Li."

While Huang Degong was shocked and suspicious, Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Ruolian with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Excuse me, please bring us a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. We need to write some warrants."

"Here!"

Under Huang Degong's surprised gaze, Li Ruolian did not hesitate at all and raised his hand in salute to Wei Zhongxian.

No!

Come on!

Seeing that Li Ruolian had no objection, Huang Degong was completely shocked.

"Mr. Wei Chang, do you want to reconsider this matter?"

Huang Degong frowned and said: "This matter is no small matter. If these people see Wei Changgong's warrant and have other ideas in their minds, I'm afraid Datong Town..."

"If there is chaos in Datong Town, then our family will commit suicide to apologize."

Wei Zhongxian smiled and interrupted what Huang Degong said, "Now, let's go by what our family said. We are not talented, and we are somewhat thin-faced in various places."

Huang Degong didn't know what to say for a while.

When Li Ruolian saw this scene, he sighed secretly in his heart, Huang Degong, you still underestimated Wei Zhongxian's background in the Ming Dynasty!

At first, he and Huang Degong had the same idea. At least when he rushed back to Xuanfu Town, he also persuaded Wei Zhongxian after knowing what Wei Zhongxian was going to do.

The situation is exactly the same.

However, due to Li Ruolian's worries, not only did Xuanfu Town not have chaos, even if the Dongji Bureau arrested more people, Xuanfu Town was still very stable.

Even the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town fully cooperated! !

It was also at that time that Li Ruolian suddenly understood that Fang Zhenghua, the admiral of the Western Police Factory, had risen strongly in the inner court, the court, and the capital, and became a powerful eunuch who could compete with Wei Zhongxian!

But when it comes to background, compared with Fang Zhenghua and Wei Zhongxian, the difference is not even a little bit different. Especially when you leave the capital and go to other places, the gap becomes even more intuitive.

And more importantly, Wei Zhongxian is much more ruthless than Fang Zheng!

It seems that Fang Zhenghua is also very ruthless in Beijing!

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fang Zhenghua's ruthlessness is based on fulfilling the emperor's decree. Simply put, Fang Zhenghua is a rule-abiding person.

But Wei Zhongxian is different.

If Wei Zhongxian becomes ruthless, he will dare to do anything!

This is not to say that Wei Zhongxian was disloyal to the emperor, but that Wei Zhongxian got a better job.

To this day, Li Ruolian still remembers what Wei Zhongxian said in Xuanfu Town, "This world belongs to the emperor, and the country belongs to the emperor. Whether he is an official or a general, everyone can have selfish motives, but Don't have bad intentions, when it comes to bad intentions, no one can be worse than our family!"

"Since some people want to compete with our family, then our family must kill them, because no matter how bad our family is, they are still the emperor's slaves. Our family knows what can and cannot be done, but this The people who work long-term for the emperor can’t understand these things!!”

When Li Ruolian thought of this, he could understand why Wei Zhongxian was able to rise to power, especially under the siege of the Donglin Party in power, he was still able to gather a large number of people and even completely defeated the Donglin Party.

"General Huang, when those people come to Yanghe, we will arrest them all." While Li Ruolian was thinking a lot, Wei Zhongxian looked at Huang Degong and said.

"Of course, they may bring their own bodyguards with them. In a word, anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot. Can General Huang do this?"

When talking about this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes turned cold and stern.

When Huang Degong saw this scene, for some reason, his heart was inexplicably throbbing. He felt that he had been cruel enough, but compared with Wei Zhongxian, Huang Degong found that he was terribly wrong! !
