"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I have been in Beijing for a long time, why did I go to Jiangnan to kill people and set fire?"

Ma Tang is an upstart in the palace and is very valued by the emperor, but although Liu Jixiang is not a priest, he is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Ma Tang slapped the table with a "horn", pointed to the two piles of inscriptions on the table and said: "These are the notes received by the General Administration Department in the past few days, and a few copies on the side are the inscriptions of the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu and Ying Tianfuchen and others, but it is written in black and white that Wei Liangchen is taking your soldiers from the Imperial Horse Supervisor to kill people and set fire in Wuxi, and you, the Imperial Horse Admiral and Eunuch, dare not admit it!" ”

"Lao Liu, do you want to explain this matter to us clearly, figure it out, and we can talk about it when the emperor asks." It was Bingbi Qian Zhong who spoke.

Sun Xian also spoke: "Yes, the matter is so big, Ye Ge Lao is staring at it, if you don't give an explanation, the old Ge has a stall, and the emperor can't take us?" ”

Jin Zhong glanced at Sun Xian, did not squeak, and remained silent as before.

Liu Jixiang saw it in his eyes and sneered secretly, the old ancestor and Qian Zhong spoke along the horse hall, which was a rare thing, but I didn't know what deal was behind it.

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "It's okay, since there is something, we have to deal with it impartially, what to say, otherwise those officials outside may have to accuse us old things of shielding Wei Liangchen." ”

Zhang Cheng's words made Liu Jixiang feel very strange, as far as he knew, this Zhang Cheng was the driving force behind Wei Liangchen's going to sea, and it stands to reason that Wei Liangchen should be supported, why is it that he is now crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Okay sir" Wang Shun's father-in-law put down the jade Ruyi in his hand, and also said: "Regarding the matter of Jiangnan, the Queen Mother and her old man also spoke. The Queen Mother doesn't want the Jiangnan affair to be too big, and she doesn't want anyone to blame the emperor for this, so the Queen Mother hopes that we can get things done quickly, so as not to talk about it all day long. ”

"The Queen Mother has spoken, what else is there to discuss about this matter, just arrest people and lock people."

The Queen Mother's inquiry into this matter made Ma Tang full of confidence, saying that he and Wei Liangchen had never met, and they couldn't commit to causing this kid to die, but the two sides had a grudge.

Fighting dogs also depends on the owner's face, Zhao Jinchao is Cao Jukui's person, Cao Jukui is his father-in-law's person, Wei Liangchen killed Zhao Jinchao to give his father-in-law Ma an ugly look.

A few days ago, Cao Jukui privately advocated the use of Dongchang without his own instructions, wanting to use Wei Liangchen to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger and give the old guys a warning, but things were messed up.

This incident made Ma Tang very passive after entering Beijing, and several stalls that supported him in the East Factory were transferred, making it difficult for his Ma Gonggong to reach directly into the East Factory now, so that Ma Tang hated this Wei Liangchen to the bone.

Originally, he had no chance, but now that he has the opportunity to vent his hatred, he wants to kill Wei Liangchen. This is also a lesson for Jin Zhong, when you are older, you have to get acquainted, don't occupy the pit and don't.

Liang Dong did not speak, but the general attitude was already obvious, except for Jin Zhong, they all meant to punish Wei Liangchen.

Liu Jixiang thought to himself that if you don't say a few words, I'm afraid that the coffin will be covered for this matter.

"I can't tell you everything, let's say a few words." Jin Zhong couldn't help but say it, he chuckled, "Everything is black and white, right and wrong are also right and wrong, what kind of murder and arson, let's not look at it that way." What Wuxi County reported is different from what a few people said, if it is true, Wei Liangchen not only has no fault, but also has merit. ”

Qian Zhong laughed dryly: "Father-in-law Jin, everyone knows that the kid surnamed Wei is in your name, but it's not such a short-term protection method, right?" ”

"If we don't protect our shortcomings, the truth of the matter has not yet been discovered, how can we listen to and believe partially? Moreover, Wuxi died a magistrate and a county, and the yamen was shocked by the chaotic people, and it was no problem to say that the people were in rebellion. So, let's think, this thing is weird, the lord of Wuxi is a party, but his official report is completely different from that of Changzhou, Suzhou, and Yingtian Fuchen? What's going on? Do you want to look it up?"

Speaking of this, Jin Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Let's still say what we said just now, if we want to investigate, we have to investigate to the end." If you want to believe, you have to believe it clearly. Our family is thinking, should we ask Wei Liangchen to put on a question book again and explain this matter clearly, and then we will discuss this matter together? ”

"Speaking of which, your father-in-law Jin is not a person who wants to protect people by changing the law!" Ma Tang snorted, he and Jin Zhong had a big quarrel just now.

Jin Zhong ignored Ma Tang, and only said to everyone: "We want to remind you that there are often civil uprisings in that place in the south of the Yangtze River, and you will never forget the grievances of Sun Long in Suzhou and Hangzhou, right?" ”

"I heard that Sun Long is hiding in Hangzhou now and doesn't dare to go to Suzhou, Jiangnan people are not easy to mess with." Liang Dong next to Jin Zhong smiled.

"Talking about Wei Liangchen, what is Sun Long doing?" The corners of Ma Tang's mouth furrowed, and he looked at Liu Jixiang, "You Liu Dugong give me a word, it's your soldiers who are fighting for the tiger, you Liu Dugong can't stay out, right?" ”

Liu Jixiang's face did not change: "Father-in-law Ma, let me say one more thing, the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Tengxiang did not have a single soldier out of Beijing, please don't wronged me again." ”

Ma Tang was angry when he said this, and stood up immediately: "It's not your Imperial Horse Supervisor's soldiers, then Wei Liangchen brought a monkey that popped out of the crack in the stone!" ”

"Lao Liu, we know that you are a person who protects your shortcomings, but can you protect this kind of thing?" Sun Xian pointed to the notebook in front of Ma Tang's table, "Let's not talk about whether the matter in Wuxi is indiscriminate killing of innocents or quelling chaos, I just ask you Lao Liu, whether the soldiers brought by Wei Liangchen are your Wu Xiang's right guard."

Liu Jixiang shouted when he heard this: "Wang Yongshou! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Tell the old ancestor and your father-in-law where are the soldiers of your Wuxiang right guard."

Wang Yongshou bowed forward and said respectfully: "Ancestors, fathers-in-law, my Wuxiang Right Guard actually has 3,200 soldiers, all of whom are stationed in Nanhaizi, and not a single soldier goes south. ”

"How is that possible!"

Ma Tang looked shocked, "Cao Shipin is obviously talking about your Wuxiang Right Guard Rear Battalion Banner Army." ”

"Back to Ma Gonggong's words, my Wuxiang right guard does not have a rear camp flag army." After Wang Yongshou finished speaking, he bowed down and took a step back.

"Then where did Wei Liangchen's soldiers come from?"

Qian Zhong was confused when he heard it, didn't Jiangnan say that it was the forbidden army of the inner court who went to Beijing to kill people and set fires. This forbidden army in the inner court, except for Teng Xiang Siwei, who else?

"As far as we know, the soldiers brought by Wei Liangchen were recruited by him, not by me. If you don't believe it, you can ask Grandpa Zhang. Liu Jixiang looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile.

Zhang Cheng scolded secretly, and when he saw Sun Xian looking at him, he had to say: "I heard that Wei Liangchen was a soldier recruited in his hometown Suning. ”

After hearing this, Sun Xian nodded, turned to look at Liu Jixiang, and asked, "Old Liu, let's inquire and understand, Wei Liangchen's soldiers have been in your Nanhaizi for a long time. Now you say that his soldiers have nothing to do with your imperial horse supervisor, so it's hard for us to say. ”

Liu Jixiang didn't defend anything, but only said: "The emperor knows about this." ”

"Emperor?"

Sun Xian was stunned, and Zhang Cheng over there was also a big head, because it was really said that Wei Liangchen's recruitment of troops to set up a camp in Nanyuan for training was reported by him to the emperor.

Qian Zhong and the others heard that the emperor knew about this, but they didn't know what to say.

Ma Tang thought of something, and sneered: "What a joke, why should a prison officer of an internal official recruit soldiers!" ”

"Ma Gonggong seems to have recruited a lot of soldiers in Tianjin." Kim Zhong is-for-tat.

Ma Tang was angry: "I'm not a soldier, just a helper who helps me collect taxes and run errands." ”

Jin Zhong understood, let out an "oh", and asked Liu Jixiang in a pretended guess: "Old Liu, in this way, Wei Liangchen is not recruiting soldiers, but also helping?" ”
