Chapter 476: Zhang Pu's Harvest
"When you see this official, if you have any grievances that need to be told, just say it."
Zhang Pu thought about it a little and decided to ask about the situation in the tea shop, if he brought these two scholars to the mansion, he might encounter an unexpected situation, and he might not know anything at that time, of course, Zhang Pu didn't expect to get anything from the two scholars, he just put on such an attitude, so that the people around him could boldly say a lot of things in the future.
A scholar took out a scroll of paper from his bosom and held it in both hands.
"My lord, here is Niu Jinxing, a person in Baofeng County, Ruzhou, Henan, this is a friend Song Xiance in the next, and Brother Song heard that the patrol was in Henan, and made a special trip to report the traces of Liukou......"
Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, the names of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, of course he knew, Xiong Wencan, Gao Qiqian, Wu Fu and others mentioned their names many times, Niu Jinxing was stripped of his fame and defected to Liukou, Song Xiance is in divination, has a very good reputation, both of them are important strategists under Li Zicheng, why did they suddenly appear in Kaifeng Mansion at the same time, and at the same time to expose.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Pu waved his hand.
"Speak slowly, and follow the official to the government office."
Zhang Pu is still very cautious at this time, there are many people around him who are watching, there are not many sergeants around him, in case the words of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are heard by some people with ulterior motives, which will cause a lot of consequences, that is, he Zhang Pu's responsibility, it is very likely that the most important information will be wasted.
After bringing Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance to the mansion, Zhang Pu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't ask the two in the lobby, it was not very safe, he chose to ask in the wing, but there were five sergeants standing beside him.
Zhang Pu carefully read the documents, and his face changed slightly, this is where all the rogues under Li Zicheng's command are distributed. The most specific is the specific distribution of the 10,000 rogues led by Tuoyangkun, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, as well as the next plan and intention of the rogue, etc., if this document is true, it is extremely important information. It plays a decisive role in the imperial court's crackdown and extermination of the Liukou.
Zhang Pu's task was to come to Henan to understand the situation of the Liukou, and he didn't expect to grasp all the whereabouts of the Liukou so quickly, which was really a great luck.
Putting the paperwork on the table, Zhang Pu stared at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance for a while. There were also questions in his mind, Niu Jinxing was stripped of his fame, as for Song Xiance, he was completely a scholar at the bottom, and the two defected to Li Zicheng, their identities must be unusual, why did they think of exposing it, is this a conspiracy.
"Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, why did you find this official. And why did you provide this information? ”
Niu Jinxing looked at Song Xiance and hurriedly spoke.
"My lord, in the next seven years of the Apocalypse, Henan Township tried to raise people, but he was framed by the villain, and was cut off to the fame, under the recommendation of others, he was confused for a while, joined the team of the rogues, and made a matter of sorry for the ancestors and the family, and learned from the pain. Brother Zai Xia and Brother Song still wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and heard that the adults were patrolling Henan, so they looked for an opportunity to make a special trip to Kaifeng Fucheng. Sending all the arrangements of the Liukou to the adults, Zai Xia and Brother Song are sincerely repentant, and I implore the adults to give them a chance. ”
Zhang Pu thought for a while and asked again.
"You said that it was recommended by others, and you strayed into the ranks of the rogues, who is this recommender?"
"The recommended one is Li Yan, a person from Qixian County. Li Yan was also in the same year, and he was a person in Henan Township in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. ”
"So Li Yan is still in the ranks of the Liukou."
"The battle of Luoyang, Li Yan and the Red Lady are responsible for guarding the Luoyang Mansion City, but the Mansion City was taken by the imperial army, Li Yan and the Red Lady have no trace, a few days ago, Brother Song received a letter from Li Yan, Li Yan said that he had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and after reading the letter with Brother Song, after careful discussion, he made the decision to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
Zhang Pu nodded, there is still some truth in this explanation, if this is the case, then the surrender of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance is true and credible, but there is no basis for empty words.
"Li Yan's letter to you is here, where is this Li Yan now."
Niu Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and took out Li Yan's letter from his arms again.
"It's not particularly clear where Li Yan is, but the battle of Luoyang was defeated by the Zheng family's army, and this Li Yan must have defected to the Zheng family's army."
Zhang Pu, who was still chasing the source, suddenly became excited.
What Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance said will never be false, which also shows that Luoyang Mansion City was captured by the Zheng family's army, which is a real thing, that is to say, the army under Xiong Wencan did not participate in the battle of Luoyang, and more importantly, this Li Yan should have been absorbed by the Zheng family's army, and may even be directly absorbed by Zheng Xunrui.
"Niu Jinxing, then tell me, what is the situation with this Li Yan."
"Hui Yu Lord, Li Yan's original name is Li Xin, is a native of Kaifeng Qi County, because of collusion with the Red Lady, was detained by the county government, and was stripped of his fame, after the Red Lady captured Qi County, Li Yan immediately followed the Red Lady to rebel, after Li Yan learned of the situation below, invited to join the Red Lady's team, the Red Lady defected to Li Zicheng, Li Yan, Brother Song and in the next have become Li Zicheng's advisers, Li Yan and the Red Lady are stationed in Luoyang, Luoyang Mansion City was captured by the Zheng family's army, Li Yan has no news, Not long ago, Brother Song received a letter from Li Yan. ”
Zhang Pu listened to this passage very carefully, and at the same time looked at the officials around him who were in charge of recording.
This information is very important, if what Niu Jinxing said is true, then this Li Yan is a felony among the rogues, not to mention the Red Lady, Zheng Xunrui led the Zheng family army into Henan to fight, and no matter what the reason, Li Yan and the Red Lady can be captured, then it must be reported to the imperial court, waiting for the imperial court to deal with it, if it is not reported to the imperial court to deal with it privately, there must be a problem.
Zhang Pu opened the letter and looked at it carefully, the content on the letter was very simple.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Pu asked one last question.
"You go to Kaifeng Mansion City, Li Zicheng can know."
"Li Zicheng doesn't know for the time being, Zai Xia and Brother Song were able to leave Nanyang in the name of inspecting Ruzhou, and Zaixia's home is in Baofeng County, under the pretext of going to the house to have a look, get rid of the rogue, and Brother Song rushed directly to Kaifeng Fucheng."
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"Nope."
Zhang Pu brought back the news of the two scholars from the street, and someone quickly reported to Xiong Wencan, Gao Qiqian and Wu Fu, the two scholars protected their homes, and the sergeant also reported in detail, when they learned that these two people were Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, Xiong Wencan and others were stunned, they must have known the importance of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance.
Without much thought, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian briefly discussed, and the two came to the mansion together.
Wu Fu didn't take any action, just paid close attention to all this.
When Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian came to the mansion, Zhang Pu had not finished questioning.
Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian entered the study directly, and the two of them looked at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance in unison.
"Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, this is Lord Xiong, the governor of the five provinces, and this is the high father-in-law of the prison army."
Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance's faces turned a little pale, in fact, what they wanted to see the most was Xiong Wencan, they didn't expect to see them here, but the two didn't dare to speak casually at this time.
Xiong Wencan was anti-guest, waved his hand, and immediately a sergeant took Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance out of the room.
Before Xiong Wencan could speak, Zhang Pu handed the documents on the table to Xiong Wencan.
"Lord Xiong, this is the document brought by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and the lower officials have already inquired carefully, and they think that the information provided by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance is true."
"Oh, Lord Zhang is so sure, then our family has to hear the reason."
Zhang Pu is also unaccustomed to looking down on eunuchs, it can be said that he looks down on him from the bottom of his bones, but at this time, he can't face Gao Qiqian, the important situation he just discovered, he needs to verify, once the accurate situation is verified, it will be enough to impeach Zheng Xunrui, as for the information provided by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, it has no great effect on him.
"Gonggong Gao can directly ask Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance to see if what they said is true."
Xiong Wencan, who was looking at the paperwork, his hands were already trembling slightly.
"Father-in-law Gao, Lord Zhang, don't argue for the time being, if this document is true, then there is no time to lose, and the army must start acting immediately."
After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, he handed the paperwork to Gao Qiqian.
Gao Qiqian looked at the paperwork carefully, and his face turned slightly pale.
Zhang Pu spoke again at this time.
"Lord Xiong, Gonggong Gao, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, the lower officials can hand it over to you, but the lower officials have a request, if the information provided by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance is true, then they must be treated well, both of them are scholars, abandon the dark and turn to the light, this move must be encouraged by the imperial court."
Xiong Wencan nodded.
"This is natural, this official and Gao Gonggong must immediately ask Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, after the inquiry, I am afraid that it will take two people for a while, as for the request made by Lord Zhang, there is no problem, the two are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, this move is worthy of affirmation, the court makes such a gesture, it can also crack down on the rogue."
After saying these words, Xiong Wencan groaned slightly, and then opened his mouth again to add.
"If the document is true, Master Zhang has made a great contribution."
Gao Qiqian also nodded, Zhang Pu's way of dealing with the problem in this way is of course feasible, and he can't find fault with it.
Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian took Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance away.
Zhang Pu's face was angry, but although he was patrolling the imperial history, in terms of rank, he was much lower than Xiong Wencan, and the rogue things that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance talked about should also be handed over to Xiong Wencan, but Xiong Wencan's anti-guest-oriented attitude made him very dissatisfied.
