Liaodong, Governor Yamen.

Su Tiancheng won a big victory in Gaizhou, the news had already arrived in Liaodong, the governor Lu Xiangsheng made the news public, and the officials of the entire governor's yamen were happy, and the news soon began to spread throughout Liaodong, and the ordinary people knew the Tao, and many people celebrated with wine, and the people in Liaodong had suffered from the bullying of the Houjin Tartars, this time, they finally saw the army of the imperial court and began to exterminate the Houjin Tartars.

In such a joyful atmosphere, Tang Haitai was like sitting on pins and needles, which was completely different from everyone's feelings.

Tang Haitai is not so stupid, it is still clear what is fooled, and behind this situation, a frightening situation is revealed, that is, he has long been exposed, used, and provided false information to Kangtai.

What are the consequences of being discovered, of course Tang Haitai knows the way, and the evil consequences of this will not only affect Tang Haitai alone, but also affect the Tang family, especially Tang Shiji, who used to be the deputy assistant of the cabinet.

Tang Haitai thought of suicide, but unfortunately he didn't have that courage, and he also thought of running away and disappearing, but unfortunately he couldn't leave, there were a few more people around him, these people followed him all the time, and what made Tang Haitai even more desperate was that at the same time as the battle report from Haizhou came, Kangtai disappeared, and the leather store was also directly seized.

For a few days in a row, Tang Haitai was so confused, unable to do anything, and unable to think.

Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to achieve a major victory in Gaizhou, and when the letter was sent to Ningyuan, Lu Xiangsheng was very excited. After exterminating more than 30,000 Jin Tartars, he killed Duoduo, the owner of the white flag, captured Jin Li, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the 6,000 Han troops stationed in the city of Gaizhou surrendered. The victory of all this is closely related to Su Tiancheng's overall deployment.

Lu Xiangsheng also had some regrets, Liaodong had done enough to play. It's a pity that no knives and guns were used, and it was very calm.

However, in his letter, Su Tiancheng reminded Lu Xiangsheng that he must be on guard to prevent the Houjin Tartars from launching a retaliatory attack from Liaodong after suffering a fiasco, although the possibility of such a situation is very small.

Because he was concerned about the defense of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng did not take care of Tang Haitai for the time being. It's just that after capturing Kang Tai, a sergeant was sent to keep an eye on Tang Haitai to prevent Tang Haitai from escaping.

In his heart, Lu Xiangsheng still hoped that Tang Haitai would see the situation clearly and commit suicide to apologize, after all, Lu Xiangsheng and Tang Shiji had intersected, and Tang Shiji had already paid tribute. If it was because of Tang Haitai's matter, he was implicated. That's not cost-effective, once Tang Haitai commits suicide, Lu Xiangsheng is also ready to hide this matter from the past and no longer mention it.

In his letter, Su Tiancheng also mentioned the matter of Tang Haitai and Kang Tai, thinking that it was impossible for Houjin Tatar to continue to believe in the two. Tang Haitai must have been abandoned by Houjin Tatar, and at this time, he can do it, but in terms of how to do it, Su Tiancheng's suggestion. is roughly the same as Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts, and he doesn't want Tang Shiji to be implicated.

It's a pity that Tang Haitai is not angry, that is, he does not commit suicide to apologize, which makes Lu Xiangsheng sigh incomparably, he finally understands that Tang Haitai can take refuge in Houjin because of the matter of silver, and willingly provide information for Houjin Tartar, such a person is a pile of, no principles, no backbone, all he thinks of is spending all his time.

In desperation, Lu Xiangsheng finally gave the order to arrest Tang Haitai.

Lu Xiangsheng knows very well what kind of uproar will be caused after this order continues, after all, Tang Haitai is a six-grade official appointed by the imperial court, and he was once the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the arrest of Tang Haitai must be explained clearly, so what Tang Haitai did will be revealed to the world.

There is no need for investigation at all, Kang Tai, who was captured, explained everything, and Lu Xiangsheng knew what Tang Haitai had done.

When Tang Haitai was imprisoned in the prison of the governor's yamen, the officials of the governor's yamen were surprised, they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, why Tang Haitai would be arrested, and some officials who had a good relationship with Tang Haitai even felt frightened, and they didn't know if Lu Dao would be implicated.

After Tang Haitai was arrested, the news could not be kept secret, and soon someone came out with the news that Tang Haitai was a spy of the Houjin Tartars, that is, a traitor hated by everyone in Liaodong, Tang Haitai colluded with Kang Tai to provide intelligence for the Houjin Tartars, and the time has been more than a year, and I don't know how much information Lu Dao betrayed.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to see Tang Haitai, in accordance with the principle of official business, all the interrogation materials were played to the court, after all, Tang Haitai is an official of the six products, such a thing, let the criminal department and Dali Temple deal with it directly, but the officials around him reminded Lu Xiangsheng, after all, this is a matter of the governor's yamen, if the governor does not ask, it may cause criticism from the court, and then those who give the matter and the imperial history will make a fuss again.

Tang Haitai was taken to the interrogation room and met Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't let Tang Haitai speak.

"Tang Haitai, this official feels ashamed for you, you are also from a famous family, the uncle used to be the second assistant of the cabinet, you don't want to serve the court well, blindly spend all day and drink, if you are not satisfied, do not be principled, there is no bottom line, and even betray the intelligence of the imperial court, in fact, when Lord Su decided to attack the grassland tribe, the leakage of information caused alarm, at that time, the official found out, it was you who provided information to the Houjin Tartar for pleasure, and the official didn't want to look at you, so he said that Kangtai, although he was a Han from Liaodong, but he also claims to be a man, people at least still have backbone, what do you have, the official gave you three days, and said that he wanted to make you able to wake up, but unfortunately you don't know how to reflect at all, the official feels sad for Lord Tang, how did the Tang family have such a scourge as you. ”

Tang Haitai wanted to open his mouth to speak, but unfortunately his mouth was sealed and he couldn't speak at all.

"Tang Haitai, the official is about to escort you to the capital, if you have anything to say, go to Dali Temple and say it, the official doesn't want to hear you, the only thing the official feels relieved is that Houjin Tartar was fooled, you provided information, and you contributed a lot."

After saying these words, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and walked out of the interrogation room.

Tang Haitai was already in tears, the corners of his mouth oozed blood, he was escorted to the capital, what he was going to face, it was very clear, it was impossible to survive, the key was that the family was going to suffer a heavy blow.

A day later, Tang Haitai, Kang Tai and others were escorted to the capital.

Liaodong launched an investigation operation, and the spies of the Houjin Tartars were cleaned out one by one, these spies, as long as the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to play the imperial court, and the governor yamen can deal with them directly, for these spies, Lu Xiangsheng has no soft hands, and the battle deployment of the Ming Dynasty is clear from now on, and the orders issued by the governor yamen in the future are all accurate orders, and the intelligence must not be leaked.

In the process of this inventory, news came from the capital one after another.

After Tang Haitai was escorted to the capital, he admitted everything he had done, and Kang Tai also confessed everything, this incident caused the emperor to be furious, and the matter finally implicated Tang Shiji, the reason for this is also very simple, Tang Haitai was promoted and reused, Tang Shiji worked hard from the inside, and Tang Haitai also said some other things, including who had given him silver, etc., and even said Zheng Zhilong and others.

Tang Haitai was executed by Ling Chi, which was the most powerful punishment.

But this is only the beginning, the next person to be implicated is Tang Shiji, Tang Shiji was removed from all his positions, including the honorary treatment was canceled, and he was demoted to a commoner, and the children of the Tang family were also greatly hit, and some of the children who were officials in the imperial court couldn't raise their heads because of Tang Haitai's affairs.

After Tang Haitai was executed, no one went to collect the body, the Tang family hated Tang Haitai very much, not to mention the fact that Tang Haitai was able to enter the ancestral hall, the biggest blow was Tang Haitai's parents and family, Tang Haitai's original wife committed suicide by hanging the beam, his mother was ill and died of illness after a long time, and his father did not go out from then on, and was stuffy at home.

Seeing that the gaffe was about to deteriorate, Su Tiancheng wrote a note to the emperor, suggesting that Tang Haitai's affairs should not be too much involved in his family, after all, Tang Shiji has made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Tang Haitai's defection to Houjin Tartar is a personal thing, if it is too widely implicated, it may lead to other things. After Su Tiancheng wrote this recital, some officials in the court who had a relationship with Tang Shiji also began to distract, and the emperor finally adopted Su Tiancheng's suggestion and no longer pursued the children of the Tang family who were officials in the court.

After Tang Haitai was executed, Lu Xiangsheng received a letter from Su Tiancheng, in this letter, Su Tiancheng specifically talked about the traitor, Tang Haitai was executed by the imperial court, and Fan Wencheng, who had served the Houjin Tartars for decades, was also killed, this is the fate of the traitor, Liaodong has always been a border pass, because of the long-term confrontation with the Houjin Tartars, the so-called traitor's name may have been expanded, such a situation can not appear, can not be expanded, there are many Han people in Liaodong, these people must fight over, At least let them not work for the post-gold tartars.

After receiving this letter, Lu Xiangsheng acted quickly, this is also because the matter of cleaning up traitors in Liaodong has indeed been somewhat expanded, making everyone in danger, you must know that places such as Black Mountain in Ludao, including Dalinghe City, have been occupied by the Houjin Tatars for a long time, if the people in these places, all the people who have contact with the Houjin Tatars, are suspected of being traitors, then I don't know how many traitors there are in Ludao.

Lu Xiangsheng adopted the policy that Su Tiancheng had implemented before when he was in Liaodong, focusing on the policy of Huairou, and severely punishing those who were indeed the spies of the Houjin Tartars. (To be continued......)
