Just after this disturbing day passed, Ningyuan City ushered in a relatively cool night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lights in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion were bright, and after quelling the mutiny in Ningyuan City, Lu Shanji naturally had no need to stay in the Ningyuan North Gate Tower, and soon moved back to the compound of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion with a group of subordinates.

At this time, after arranging the defense of Ningyuan City, Lu Shanji summoned Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the Liaodong military garrison, who had been in the chaos as a hostage, in the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, and Fang Zhenghua was naturally also present to listen.

Guo Guang told Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua about what he saw and heard after he was brought back to the Zhenwu camp by the rebels, especially how he witnessed Yang Wenkui's uncle and nephew being killed by Zhang Zhengchao in the barn of the forage field in the back camp of the Zhenwu camp, and Zhang Zhengchao was later killed by Zuo Liangyu.

In the end, Guo Guang said: "The scene seen by the lower officials is thrilling and tortuous, and it is difficult to describe it in words. The bravery of the soldiers in the battalion has also been seen only by the lower officers for many years. It's a pity that he has embarked on the evil path and can no longer be used by the court, which is a pity. ”

Lu Shanji nodded, but he was also silent. At this time, Fang Zhenghua suddenly asked: "Deputy Envoy Guo witnessed the fighting in the camp almost the whole time, I don't know what you think of Zuo Liangyu and his people?" ”

Fang Zhenghua's question made Guo Guang suddenly remember one thing, so he immediately said: "When the factory man asked, it reminded the lower officials of one thing. That is the death of Bai Yangcui Bai Langzhong.

"Bai Langzhong and Xia Guan fell into the hands of the rebels one after another, and were detained together in the lobby of the Zhenwu Camp on that day, during which they did not see Bai Langzhong being tortured, but Bai Langzhong and I were moved to the forage field of the rear camp that night to take care of them.

"There are many warehouses in the forage field, and Xia Guan and Bai Langzhong were detained separately, because I don't know the news about it. It was not until the evening of the 28th that Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun hurriedly came to the forage field, and the lower officials learned that Bai Langzhong committed suicide by hanging himself because he was humiliated and tortured by the rebels.

Although Xia Guan had doubts at the time, he did not think about it in detail. However, in the middle of the night on the 28th, after the left guerrilla led people to kill Zhang Zhengchao, Zhang Sishun said a word to the lower officials before killing himself, which was related to Bai Langzhong and the left guerrilla. ”

Fang Zhenghua immediately asked, "What did Zhang Sishun say?!" ”

Lu Shanji also cast a concerned gaze when he heard this.

At this time, I only heard Guo Guang say: "Zhang Sishun said to the lower officials before he killed himself, it was this Zuo Liangyu who hanged Bai Langzhong. ”

After hearing this, Lu Shanji and Fang Zhenghua glanced at each other and nodded.

At this time, Guo Guang continued: "As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good. The lower officials thought that what Zhang Sishun said was eight or nine points credible. It's just that this matter involves a strong general in our Liaodong Army, and Zhang Sishun is the backbone of the chaotic army, so he doesn't know what to do if he is a subordinate officer. Now, in front of the Inspector and the factory officer, I also ask the two adults to judge at their discretion. ”

Lu Shanji pondered for a moment and said: "Zuo Liangyu is indeed a rare warrior, but his people participated in the mutiny first, and he was appeased anyway, and there were such illegal things during the period.

"Although the Ministry of Finance cherishes his talents, if the matter of the hanging of Bai Langzhong is true, then only the head of the court can show the law of the court."

After Lu Shanji finished speaking, Fang Zhenghua immediately said: "Two adults, from our family's point of view, this Zuo Liangyu is absolutely unforgivable. His various actions can be seen in his wolf ambition. Killing Peng Hairpin Gu and killing Zhang Zhengchao may have merit, but this merit can hardly hide his guilt. If our generation cherishes his talents and forgives his sins, as soon as this case is opened, I am afraid that there will never be peace in the Nine Border Army.

"Now the imperial court is taking this opportunity to show that the law is strict, no matter who it is, no matter what merit it has had, but anyone who supports the army and rebels will be executed."

At this time, Guo Guang also arched his hand and said: "What the factory said is reasonable. Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guoqi can be the rings of arrogant soldiers in the army. ”

Seeing that the two of them were talking so far, Lu Shanji nodded, agreeing with the two of them.

Today's Emperor Chongzhen admires Fangzhenghua the most, that is, he does what he says, vigorously and resolutely, once the matter is decided, it will be implemented immediately, and he does not want to delay for a moment.

The same was true for this night. Fang Zhenghua came out of the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, and with several people who personally guarded Zhu Jiasan, he soon came to the prison in the southwest corner of the Governor's Mansion compound.

Now there is no one else in the prison of the Governor's Mansion, only Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guoqi, two detainees.

Yang Guozhu's subordinates, who were guarding the prison, saw the third watch of Dongchang Factory coming in the middle of the night, and of course they knew that something must be wrong, so they naturally sent someone to report to Yang Guozhu while letting him go.

The prison of the Governor's Mansion is not big, and it is of course pitiful compared to the East Factory.

Fang Zhenghua and the others soon came to the outside of the prison where Zuo Liangyu was held, Fang Zhenghua glanced at Zhu Jiasan, Zhu Jiasan bowed and clenched his fists, and then led people to find Wu Guoqi's prison.

To say that Zuo Liangyu is indeed a hero, even if he is locked in prison and tied hands and feet, he can still sleep peacefully. Seeing this, Fang Zhenghua also had to give birth to a little admiration in his heart.

Fangzheng caused another torch to be lit, and at the same time allowed people to open the fence of the prison.

The sound of opening the fence woke Zuo Liangyu up, only to see him turn over and sit up, look at the visitor in surprise, and after seeing the person clearly, he immediately knelt on his knees and said: "I don't know that the Duke of Duke came here late at night, and he is guilty of humiliation!" ”

Fang Zhenghua walked into the narrow prison door, entered it sideways, smiled and said: "Zuo Guerrilla is a rare smart person, since our family came here late at night, why did you come here?" ”

Zuo Liangyu's face first had a smile on his face, then turned into doubt, then turned into fear, and finally asked in a trembling voice: "The Governor has come to condemn the crime of despicability?!" ”

Fang Zhenghua, who was looking at the situation around the prison, turned around and smiled: "Zuo Guerrilla is really a smart person. Then he smiled and continued to look at Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu was furious by him, and asked nervously: "Dare to ask the governor, but the court has already convicted Zuo?" ”

Then without waiting for Fang Zhenghua to answer, Zuo Liangyu continued: "Zhenwu camp mutiny, although Zuo was coerced by the chaotic soldiers and impacted the Ningyuan official office, but Zuo did not kill the official and rebelled, and then the superintendent returned to Ningyuan, Zuo calmed the chaos anyway, and personally beheaded Peng Haigu and Zhang Zhengchao, not for nothing, if the court convicted Zuo, how to explain to the sergeant of the army, how to recover the heart of the Zhenwu camp? ! I also ask the governor to make it clear to His Majesty the Emperor that if the court will make the merits and forgive Zuo's sins, Zuo will be ruined, and he is willing to do his best for His Majesty! ”

Fang Zhenghua looked at Zuo Liangyu after saying these words, nodded mockingly, and said: "Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu, say you are smart, you are still a little confused." You are indeed quite talented, but there are many talented people in the world. If you lead your subordinates to quell the chaos at the beginning of the rebellion, then you are a real general. Even now, you are still proud of your talents, thinking that you will make a difference with your merits. In our opinion, you're not really smart! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Liangyu's face changed greatly, and he said tremblingly: "The imperial court really condemned Zuo someone to death!?" ”

Fang Zhenghua also had a straight face, looked at Zuo Liangyu and said, "Do you do it yourself, or do you want our family to help you?!" ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he lost his mind for a while, and said in disbelief: "Don't tell jokes, if the imperial court condemns Zuo to death, he can behead the market tomorrow, so why bother to come here late at night?" ”

Fang Zhenghua smiled again, and then said: "Since we have spoken of this, then our family will tell you clearly." Our family is here because His Majesty has told him that His Majesty wants our family to see you die. ”

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu was completely stunned, and asked in a very puzzled voice: "Your Majesty's message?!" Why, why does the emperor have to let someone on my left die?! ”

After Fang Zhenghua finished saying that, he was impatient, so he said very impatiently: "Zuo Liangyu, you are also a man, and I am afraid that there are more than ten lives in your hands, and now that it is your turn, be happy." In this way, you can keep your family safe! ”

Zuo Liangyu is really messed up now, he can't imagine that he is a guerrilla in Liaozhen, and he has never seen the emperor, why does the emperor have to kill him.

Of course, he didn't know that in the memory of the emperor in later generations, he Zuo Liangyu was a well-known general of the thief, and he was a thief who shouted to catch the thief.

Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops are neither peaceful thieves, nor anti-Qing, specifically to harm the people, as a Ming general, and finally died on the way to crusade against the Southern Ming court, and his baby only son Zuo Mengeng simply surrendered to the Manchu Qing with two or three hundred thousand Ming troops after his death, becoming a major help for the Manchus to conquer the south of the Yangtze River.

And the left army, which was about to collapse against the thieves in the past, became extremely brave in the war to conquer the compatriots, and Zuo Liangyu's performance in this Ningyuan mutiny was exactly the same, and it was extremely powerful to kill his own people.

Fang Zhenghua looked at Zuo Liangyu and muttered to himself, like a demon, he simply took out a ball of rope from his arms, threw it in front of him, and said to him: "How Bai Yangcui died, how you die!" ”

Zuo Liangyu's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he said, "Is it just for a white cultivator?!" Someone on my left was born and died for the Ming Dynasty, and he had countless military exploits, but it was rare that he was not worthy of a useless white-faced scholar?! ”

As he spoke, Zuo Liangyu suddenly clenched his teeth, and his face became extremely hideous.

Fang Zhenghua didn't care, and continued: "Your death may not have anything to do with whether you kill Bai Yangcui or not, the king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, Zuo Liangyu, haven't you heard of this sentence?!" ”

Zuo Liangyu raised his head and stared at Fang Zhenghua, and after a while, he suddenly laughed out loud and said: "The king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, good, good, good!" In that case, Zuo will let you die first! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Liangyu suddenly jumped up and pounced on Fang Zhenghua, the governor of Dongchang, who was facing away from him at this moment.

And Fang Zhenghua also turned around suddenly, and there was an extra short-handled handcuff in his hand at some point, only to hear a bang, Zuo Liangyu, who had already pounced on Fang Zhenghua's body, fell backwards on his back.

This shot hit Zuo Liangyu's heart, Fang Zhenghua blew the smoke from the muzzle of the handcuff, smiled at Zuo Liangyu who was lying on the ground, and said: "Cause and effect cycle, heavenly reincarnation." Our family asks you to learn Bai Yangcui, you have to learn Zhang Zhengchao. ”

After a while, Fang Zhenghua stepped forward to investigate, and saw that Zuo Liangyu had already lost his breath, so he put away his handcuffs and walked out of the prison sideways.

One of the Dongchang entourages came in, put a rope around Zuo Liangyu's neck, and then hung it on the top of the fence of the prison.

At this time, Zhu Jiasan had already returned, and Wu Guoqi, another guerrilla in the Zhenwu camp, naturally chose to "hang himself in fear of sin" that night.
