Chapter 233 The Imperial Envoy Is About to Slaughter the Libu of the Pot 【Order】

Chapter 233 The Imperial Envoy Is About to Slaughter the Libu of the Pot 【Order】

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one dares to speak at this time.

The ghost knows what Li Huan's intentions are, and if he speaks indiscriminately at this time, if he says the wrong thing, he might lose his life.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Li Huan looked very calm. He really didn't have any evidence. After all, even Yang Yiqing, who came earlier, hadn't found out whether there was anyone in Yulin Town colluding with the Tatars.

How could he, an imperial envoy far away in Xi'an, control everything?

Don't think that Jin Yiwei is omniscient, if that's the case, there won't be so many corrupt officials in the world.

As an official, Jin Yiwei is also a human being, not a machine. Since he is a human being, he must have emotions and desires.

Other officials can be corrupted, why can't Jin Yiwei be corrupted?

Just like Yuan Ming, the former head of the Shanxi Jinyiwei Thousand Households Office, including Yuan Ming, a large number of middle and high-level Jinyiwei officials were corrupted, so that the Jinyiwei yamen had problems monitoring Shaanxi.

With a superior official like Yuan Ming around, Li Huan didn't have too high expectations for Jinyiwei in Shaanxi Province.

Ordinarily, the Jinyiwei in Suide Prefecture should have a certain understanding of the invasion of the Tatars, but it is obvious that the Jinyiwei in Suide Prefecture has no clues.

This can be seen from Yang Yiqing's failure to discover anything.

As the governor of the three sides, Yang Yiqing naturally has the right to summon the Shandi Jinyiwei to assist in the investigation. Li Huan believed that after Yang Yiqing came to Yulin Dao, he would use various channels to find out whether there was any collusion with the Tatars in Yulin Dao.

Jin Yiwei must have made a report.

The people or forces who can do such a big thing are absolutely extraordinary. If they don't have the power to cover the sky with one hand, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

Li Huan asked himself that if he settled down to investigate, as long as he spent a certain amount of time, he might not be able to find out the truth. After all, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, it depends on whether he puts his heart into the investigation.

It's a pity that Li Huan didn't have so much time to do these things at all, so he suddenly spoke during the banquet, with the purpose of defrauding everyone.

To be precise, Li Huan's move was to scare the snake away. Since it is a pool of stagnant water, if he stirs it up, there may be unexpected gains.

Therefore, Li Huan's eyes swept across the group of people, and the changes in their expressions could be seen in his eyes.

Just like the faint excitement flashed in the eyes of Ding Dechao, the magistrate of Suide County, Yang Yiqing smiled and was a little surprised. As for the rest of the people, they were more panic-stricken, and there were also people who seemed quite calm.

There are a lot of things in life, and each has its own response.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere naturally became a little awkward.

After a dozen or so breaths, Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and said slowly: "Everyone, since the imperial envoy dares to say that, he must have grasped certain clues, so I hope that if anyone among you knows something, If you can take the initiative to speak up, you can count everyone as a meritorious whistleblower.”

Li Huan did not expect that Yang Yiqing would cooperate with him so much. Although he was slightly taken aback when he heard Yang Yiqing speak, he quickly nodded to Yang Yiqing with a smile.

With a light cough, Li Huan looked at the crowd with a solemn expression and said: "I have already received a tip that someone in Yulin Road colluded with the Tatars, which made the Tatars pass the checkpoint smoothly and robbed the government's relief food... "

"My lord, what kind of person is he? He dared to touch the life-saving food of the common people, and even colluded with the Tatars. The officials want to report to the Ming court that this person must kill the nine clans."

Ding Dechao said bitterly.

Even Ding De looked at the people present with scrutiny and patrolled back and forth, as if he wanted to catch them out of them.

At the same time, sitting next to Yang Yiqing, Tang Dingbang, the burly guard commander, stroked his beard and stared at the crowd with murderous intent: "I am the commander of the Yulin Daowei, and I shoulder the important task of guarding the Yulin Road." , this time the Tatars suddenly invaded, and this official is investigating this matter strictly. If I let this official find out who is colluding with the Tatars, there is no need for the imperial envoy to do anything. I will also lead my subordinates to kill all of them. All the good people will be wiped out."

Tang Dingbang's words were full of murderous intent, especially when his figure moved forward slightly, a murderous air permeated from his body, which only surprised everyone present.

Seeing Tang Dingbang's ferocious appearance, many people lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at Tang Dingbang.

Compared with Li Huan, who was an imperial envoy, and Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, these squires and officials in Yulin Road knew best what kind of influence Tang Dingbang, the Commander of the Guards, had on Yulin Road.

Whatever Tang Dingbang dared to say, it must not be as simple as saying it, but he really has that ability.

The imperial envoys and the governors of the three sides are a little far away from them, but Tang Dingbang, the guard commander, makes them familiar.

Li Huan's eyes couldn't help falling on Tang Dingbang who spoke.

As if sensing Li Huan's gaze, Tang Dingbang hurriedly bowed to Li Huan and said, "Your subordinate Yulin Daowei Commander Tang Dingbang pays his respects to the Governor."

Previously, Tang Dingbang and Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, looked straightforward and quiet, and they looked like the most common warriors.

At that time, Li Huan really didn't pay much attention to Tang Dingbang, the commander of the guard, but what Tang Dingbang said just now made Li Huan look at him differently.

Nodding slightly at Tang Dingbang, Li Huan said calmly: "Commander Tang, tell me, who is colluding with the Tatars on Yulin Road?"

Tang Dingbang froze for a moment when he heard the words, shook his head with a wry smile on his face and said, "Go back to the governor, I don't know."

Speaking of this, Tang Dingbang's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said with a murderous look: "If my subordinates knew who was colluding with the Tatars, my subordinates would have brought people to kill the other party."

At the entrance of the restaurant

Yue Buqun was looking at Han Le and said: "Brother Han, since Yue knows about the collusion of the Tang family with the Tatars, even the gods will not be able to see what the Tang family has done. It is nothing more than oppressing the people on weekdays, but Even the Tatars of different races dared to collude, and even dared to move the life-saving food of 10,000+ disaster-stricken people, this is no longer audacity, but a loss of conscience and conscience."

Han Le's complexion fluctuated, and there were endless waves in his heart.

Han Le never thought that the scholar he rescued would be a member of Jin Yiwei.

Just looking at Yue Buqun's gentle and refined appearance, if he didn't say anything, no one would believe that the other party was actually a Jinyiwei Qianhu.

At this time, even Han Le had to say that God really couldn't see what the Tang family was doing, and was going to destroy the Tang family.

Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that he rescued Yue Buqun, a Jinyiwei Qianhu, back to the Tang family, and he also took the initiative to protect Yue Buqun for the Tang family, so that Yue Buqun joined the Tang family? Colluding with the Tatars and plundering the court's food relief came from the big event.

Han Le believed that with the evidence that Yue Buqun had acquired these days, as long as he handed it in, he could put Tang's family in ruins at any time.

Looking at Han Le, Yue Buqun said sternly: "Brother Han, please come with me to meet the imperial envoy, expose Tang's outrageous acts, and give justice to the people of Yulin Road, and avenge the tens of thousands of refugees who starved to death. .”

Han Le took a look at Yue Buqun, took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said, "Han is willing to expose Tang together with Mr. Yue."

Yue Buqun nodded when he heard the words, and laughed loudly: "Okay, with Brother Han coming forward, the Tang family is doomed this time."

Although Yue Buqun also collected a lot of accusations about the Tang family, it is not impossible for him, a Jin Yiwei, to testify against the Tang family, but when the time comes, people will definitely think that Jin Yiwei is planting blame.

However, if Han Le, an old man who has stayed in the Tang family for many years, came forward to testify and expose Tang's crimes, he would definitely be able to crucify Tang.

Chen Yao on the side watched this scene, smiled slightly and said, "Yue Qianhu, follow me."

Yue Buqun nodded towards Han Le, and the two followed Chen Yao towards the restaurant.

in the restaurant
Suddenly a voice came from the door: "My lord, Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Yue Buqun has something to ask to see your lord."

Everyone present couldn't help being stunned when they heard the words, and looked towards the door in surprise.

Li Huan also raised his head to look at the door, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart, as if he did not expect Yue Buqun to appear suddenly.

The inexplicable Li Huan's heart moved, and he said, "Let him in."

Immediately, Chen Yao, Yue Buqun, and Han Le walked into the hall.

Apart from Chen Yao's official uniform, Yue Buqun was dressed in a literati's blue shirt. Standing with Han Le, they looked like two literati.

Many people just heard that it was Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu who came to ask for an interview, and everyone subconsciously guessed who Shaanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu was.

But when they saw Yue Buqun and Han Le, everyone couldn't help being stunned, Chen Yao must have made a mistake, which of these two looks like Jin Yiwei Qianhu.

Just when everyone was stunned, they saw Yue Buqun, who looked like a scribe, bowed to Li Huan and said, "My subordinate, Yue Buqun from Qianhu of Shanxi Jinyiwei, pays his respects to the imperial envoy."

As he spoke, Yue Buqun coughed lightly, reminding Han Le to greet Li Huan.

Han Le quickly bowed down and said: "Caomin Han Le pays his respects to the imperial envoy."

Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Han Le, the people present were either the officials or the powerful families in the local area, Han Le was just an ordinary person, but Yue Buqun brought him here, it was definitely not aimless.

Although it was not clear why Yue Buqun brought Han Le here, Li Huan suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded slightly and said, "Let's all get up and talk."

Everyone's gazes were also curiously looking at Yue Buqun and Han Le, especially Han Le. Some people were secretly thinking about who the other party was, who was actually brought here by Yue Buqun.

Some people were curious about Han Le's identity, but among the crowd present, someone recognized Han Lelai.

This person is none other than Tang Shun, chief secretary of Suide, who was born in the Tang family.

Although Tang Shun is not a direct branch of the Tang family, he is also one of the core members of the Tang family because he is the master of Suide.

Tang Dingbang's position is too high, and he spends most of his time in the barracks of the border town on weekdays, and rarely cares about the affairs of the Tang family.Generally, Tang Dingbang would only express his opinion on major decisions.So Tang Dingbang didn't know much about the Tang family's personnel affairs.

But Tang Shun is different, Tang Shun is one of the core of the Tang family, and also the head of a county, dealing with trivial matters, big and small.

Obviously, Han Le, as one of the more than a dozen accountants kept by the Tang family, Tang Shun could not be unfamiliar with.Maybe Tang Shun couldn't recognize Yue Buqun, the new accountant, but after Han Le stayed in Tang's house for so many years, Tang Shun recognized Han Le at a glance.

It was precisely because Tang Shun recognized Han Lelai at a glance that Tang Shun's complexion changed.

Tang Shun couldn't help but feel a little bad about why the old accountant of the Tang family suddenly walked together with the people from Jinyiwei.

And just at this moment, Tao Ling, who had a very good relationship with Tang Shun, was almost single-handedly promoted by the Tang family to the position of teaching in Suide, with a look of surprise on his face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tang, then... ...Isn't Han Le the accountant of your family? How can he..."

Although Tao Ling's voice was very low, the people around him still heard Tao Ling's words clearly, and for a moment, many people looked at Tang Shun.

Li Huan also had sharp eyes and ears, although he was separated by a couple of feet from Tang Shun and Tao Ling, he could still hear Tao Ling's words clearly.

Li Huan glanced at Tang Shun indifferently, and at the same time looked at Tang Dingbang who was sitting there.

Tang Dingbang obviously didn't know Han Le, but he sat there and heard Tao Ling's words. He heard that the person who accompanied Jin Yiwei Qianhu Yue Buqun was the accountant of their Tang family. I couldn't help shrinking, and even my heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.

That is to say, Tang Dingbang's mind has been tempered for many years, and Tang Dingbang stabilized his mind in an instant, but if you look carefully, you can see that Tang Dingbang's heart is a little messed up.

But at this moment, Yue Buqun bowed to Li Huan, and then said: "My lord, my subordinates have reported the news about the Tatar invasion and looting the court's relief money and food."

Suddenly, almost everyone looked at Yue Buqun in unison.

This news is really amazing. If you say that the hottest news in Yulin Road right now must be how the Tatars entered the customs without anyone noticing, and so smoothly robbed the court's relief money and food.

It is precisely this case that has so many strange things that there are many rumors circulating among the people. Many people firmly believe that someone must have colluded with the Tatars and provided convenience for the Tatars. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the Tatars to He would rob the money and food so smoothly, and even returned to the grassland without any hindrance.

Earlier, Li Huan suddenly said that someone had colluded with the Tatars, but everyone didn't have much reaction. They also agreed with Li Huan's words from the bottom of their hearts, that is, they all believed that someone had colluded with the Tatars.

It's just that everyone doesn't know who colluded with the Tatars. Even if some people have vague guesses in their hearts, they dare not speak nonsense when they think of the power of the other party.

In fact, everyone didn't believe what Li Huan said just now. If Li Huan really knew who was colluding with the Tatars, he must have sent someone to arrest him.

But now that Yue Buqun appeared, many people secretly speculated, could it be that Li Huan really had some information, had he already determined who colluded with the Tatars?

A bright light flashed in Li Huan's eyes, he looked at Yue Buqun and said, "Speak!"

Yue Buqun took a deep breath, straightened his expression, bowed to Li Huan and said, "This matter is also a coincidence, everything starts with what happened to the subordinate."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yue Buqun told how he was hunted down, how he was rescued by Han Le, entered the Tang family, and how he witnessed the collusion between the Tang family and the Tatars and killed the escort. The soldiers of Zhen Wei's troops, who were in charge of food, robbed the court's food relief.

These things came from Yue Buqun's mouth, only to hear everyone present amazed.

Especially when Yue Buqun broke the news that the Tang family had colluded with the Tatars, everyone looked at the several members of the Tang family present.

Tang Shun, the master of Suide, Tang Dingbang, the commander of the Yulin Daowei, and Tang Dingguo, the head of the Tang family.

Tang Dingguo didn't wait for Yue Buqun to finish his sentence, his complexion changed drastically, he suddenly stood up, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Bold, there is no excuse for committing a crime, Yue Buqun, you say it yourself, yes Our Tang family saved your life, never thought that you would not want to repay my Tang family's life-saving grace, and would wantonly frame my Tang family for your own merits, your intentions are so vicious..."

Li Huan glanced at Tang Dingguo indifferently and said: "Mr. Tang, let Yue Qianhu finish speaking."

While speaking, Li Huan flicked his fingers, and saw a broad bean flying out of the plate, hitting Tang Dingguo's acupoint, Tang Dingguo's body softened, and he sat down with a plop.

But at this moment, Yue Buqun was not influenced by Tang Dingguo at all and continued: "You may not believe Yue's words, but heaven has eyes. Brother Han Le and Brother Han have been in the Tang family for many years and have witnessed what the Tang family has done over the years. Zhuang, one evil thing after another, my conscience is not at ease, this time I am asking the next official to take me to meet the imperial envoy, I am willing to expose the crimes of the Tang family in public, and I also ask the imperial envoy to learn from you."

Speaking of which, Yue Buqun said to Han Le: "Brother Han, the Imperial Envoy is in person, and the governors of the three sides are here. Regarding the rebellious things that the Tang family has done these years, Brother Han can tell the truth, and the two adults will be fair. And stop, so that the wicked will not go unpunished.”

Han Le took a deep breath, bowed to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, and then said: "My lord, the grassroots Han Le, reported the Suide Tang clan, colluded with the Tatars, and robbed the government's relief food..."

As Han Le opened his mouth, Tang's evil deeds over the years were revealed one by one from Han Le's mouth.

Although Han Le is not a trusted figure of the Tang family, but as the accountant, he has experienced a lot. After all, the things that the Tang family did, after all, the income after the event must be calculated and put into the treasury by the accountant.

So don't think that Han Le is not a close friend of the Tang family, but Han Le dare not say that he knows all the evil things that the Tang family has done, but he knows a lot.

When Han Le opened his mouth, he talked for a full half an hour, and the various crimes committed by the Tang family that Han Le narrated during this half hour made everyone present stunned.

Many people looked at the members of the Tang family in horror.

They only know that the Tang family is the tyrant of Yulin Road, but anyone who opposes the Tang family will end badly in the end, and they have even heard of several cases where the family was destroyed because of the Tang family.

But they never expected that compared to what the Tang family had done, what they knew was actually very little, just like a squire looking at Tang Dingguo with a look of horror. More than a hundred lives of the in-laws were killed overnight, and it turned out that it was the people of the Tang family who did it.

There are many people who reacted the same way.

What Han Le said was extremely detailed, when, who took the lead, and what he got afterward, just because Han Le remembered it so clearly, if Han Le didn't write it down on purpose, no one would believe it.

Even Yue Buqun looked at Han Le with a strange look, secretly doubting in his heart, could it be that Han Le had been secretly collecting evidence against the Tang family?
Han Le smiled wryly in his heart, could he say that he was only because of his amazing memory? He didn't even think about it, he lived and boarded in Tang's house, although he wasn't a slave who sold himself to Tang's house, but there were almost too many of them.

If he dared to record the crimes committed by the Tang family over the years in the Tang family, if he was found by the Tang family, wouldn't he be committing suicide?

Although he has long been used to seeing all kinds of crimes committed by corrupt officials, Li Huan is still deeply shocked when he listens to Han Le's description of Tang's actions over the years.

As for other people, let alone talk about it, they were completely overwhelmed by the boldness of the Tang family.

Yang Yiqing looked gloomyly at Tang Dingbang, who was the commander of the guard, and said coldly: "Tang Dingbang, I didn't expect you to collude with the Tatars. No wonder, no wonder the Tatars sneaked into the pass so smoothly. In your eyes, there is still The imperial court, but there are still royal laws..."

From the moment Han Le opened his mouth, or the moment Yue Buqun opened his mouth, Tang Dingbang knew that the Tang family was over.

It's just that Tang Dingbang didn't expect that a mere accountant in Han Le would have so many criminal evidences against the Tang family.

At this moment, after hearing Yang Yiqing's words, Tang Dingbang got up suddenly, and even reached out to grab Yang Yiqing directly. Judging from his posture, he had the intention of arresting Yang Yiqing to threaten Li Huan, the imperial envoy.

After Tang Dingbang's initial panic, he had already figured out a countermeasure in his mind. With the relationship his Tang family had formed on the grassland over the years, as long as he could take his tribe to escape to the grassland this time, who would be able to do anything to their Tang family? .

Originally the best choice was to capture Li Huan, but it was a pity that Tang Dingbang was separated from Li Huan by Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, so Tang Dingbang abandoned Li Huan and chose Yang Yiqing, an important court official.

Tang Dingbang knew that as long as Yang Yiqing was under control, his Tang family could coerce the imperial envoy Li Huan to let the Tang clan leave.

I have to say that Tang Dingbang is decisive enough, and his thinking is correct. If he is really allowed to control Yang Yiqing, Tang Dingbang's plan may really come true.

It was only at the moment when he struck, Yang Yiqing sensed Tang Dingbang's intentions, raised his hand and stabbed at Tang Dingbang with his fingers formed into swords.

Although Yang Yiqing was a civil servant, he practiced martial arts as a civil servant, and his cultivation was far beyond Tang Dingbang's expectations.

Tang Dingbang's overall strength is not bad. After all, he can become a commander of the guards in the Nine Borders. If he has no ability, he may not be able to sit still.

It's a pity that Tang Dingbang met Yang Yiqing, an outlier who was capable of making appearances, just like Wang Yangming. Who would have thought that civil servants like Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing would have unfathomable cultivation.

With a bang, Tang Dingbang flew upside down as soon as he fought, and looked at Yang Yiqing with horror in his eyes.

Yang Yiqing snorted coldly and said, "Come here, take down this treason for me."

The governor's personal soldiers guarding the outside rushed into the hall upon hearing the words, and their eyes fell on Tang Dingbang.

Tang Dingbang got up staggeringly, glanced at Yang Yiqing, and jumped towards Li Huan.

Since Yang Yiqing has no choice but to fight, then he will fight hard, in case the imperial envoy Li Huan is captured.

Seeing this, Yang Yiqing just shook his head and didn't intend to make a move. Although Li Huan's strength was not seen, Yang Yiqing could sense that Li Huan's overall strength might not be inferior to his, so when he saw Tang Dingbang Yang Yiqing only lamented Tang Dingbang's luck.

It was also Tang Dingbang's bad luck. He met Li Huan, a powerful imperial envoy, and he was an outlier among literati. Under the violent situation, it will really succeed.

Li Huan sat there, looking at Tang Dingbang who was rushing towards him, with a look of disdain on the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand and pushed the teacup in his hand, and the teacup flew out immediately, and with a scream, Tang Dingbang flew out again and fell heavily on the ground.

Several of the governor's personal soldiers stepped forward, unsheathed their long knives, and placed them between Tang Dingbang's necks. At the same time, Tang Shun and Tang Dingguo were all captured.

Li Huan glanced at the crowd, looked at Tang Dingbang and others who were captured, and his eyes fell on Yang Yiqing, and he said slowly, "Governor Yang, can you tell Li privately."

Yang Yiqing's eyes showed a bit of surprise when he heard the words, but he just nodded when he heard the words, got up and followed Li Huan to the side hall next to him.

Li Huan and Yang Yiqing walked into the side hall, and in the outer hall, all the officials and the gentry looked at each other in blank dismay. Looking at the captured Tang family members, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. .

In particular, they don't know what Yang Yiqing and Li Huan, the two highest officials in Shaanxi, are discussing in private at this moment. How many people have dropped their hats and even their heads.

Not to mention anything else, anyway, the officials who are close to the Tang family are afraid that there will be no good results, let alone the people of the Tang family, they will definitely be exterminated by the court to imitate others.

No matter how frightened and thought these people were, Li Huan nodded to Yang Yiqing in the side hall, and the two sat down.

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and looked at Li Huan and said, "I don't know if Mr. Li has anything to say to your subordinates?"

Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Governor Yang thinks that the Tang family has colluded with the Tatars to invade the army and plundered the government's relief food. How should we deal with it?"

Hearing Li Huan mention this matter, Yang Yiqing's expression became serious and he said: "The family should be ransacked and the family should be destroyed. Only in this way can people's hearts be shocked and the tens of thousands of people who died because of the Tang family can be dealt with."

A cold look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said, "Is it only the Tang family that needs to be liquidated?"

Yang Yiqing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Of course, you also need to be aware of the members of the Tang family in the military and in the local area. These people are all guilty of the same crime as the Tang family, and they must be severely punished to make the king's law clear."

Apparently Yang Yiqing thought that Li Huan wanted to punish those officials and gentry who colluded with the Tang family. Yang Yiqing also hated those officials and gentry, so naturally he would not say anything good to them.

But Li Huan shook his head when he heard the words, looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Governor Yang has forgotten the other protagonist in this big case."

Yang Yiqing looked at Li Huan rather puzzled, thinking a lot in his heart, but he couldn't think of what Li Huan was referring to!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Yiqing cupped his hands at Li Huan and said, "I don't quite understand, please speak clearly, Lord Li!"

Li Huan said coldly: "Tatars, Tatars killed my people and invaded our Ming territory. The Tang family is indeed worthy of death, but the Tatars are also worthy of death."

When Yang Yiqing heard the words, he immediately understood that Li Huan wanted to liquidate the Tatars.

Surprised, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but looked up suddenly, looked at Li Huan in astonishment and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, what do you mean..."

Li Huan sneered and said: "The Tang family deserved their punishment. However, tens of thousands of people in Suide died of hunger and cold. Among them were the sins of the Tatars. Is this the case? As we all know, the imperial envoy must be punished, and murder is like hemp. The same is true for corrupt officials, and it is the same for these Tatars."

Yang Yiqing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said with a wry smile: "That's what I said, but now the Tatars have withdrawn from the Great Wall and returned to the grassland, even if we want to avenge the people of Suide, there is no way to avenge them." what."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Since the Tatars have fled back to the grassland, then we will enter the grassland, what does Governor Yang think?"

Even though he had vaguely guessed what Li Huan meant, but hearing what Li Huan said, Yang Yiqing still couldn't help looking at Li Huan with horrified eyes.

Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, he never took the initiative to step out of the Great Wall and launched an attack against the alien races in the prairie. In recent decades, when dealing with the alien races from the prairie, the entire Ming Dynasty has been completely on the defensive.

When the enemy comes, we block it, and when the enemy goes, everyone in the court will be happy. No one has ever thought that emperors like Taizu and Wenzong would lead an army to attack and conquer aliens.

Even a momentary hero like Yang Yiqing, because of the influence of his thinking, or the entire court environment, never thought of taking the initiative to attack the grassland aliens.

So after hearing Li Huan's words, even with Yang Yiqing's xinxing cultivation base, he couldn't help but look at Li Huan with a surprised look.

After a while, after completely digesting Li Huan's words, Yang Yiqing looked at Li Huan with a serious expression on his face, and shook his head slowly, "It's not that Yang doesn't want to, if possible, Yang also wants to lead the army to kill the people in the pot." Ministry, to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Suide."

Yang Yiqing sighed softly and said: "However, if there is no order and order from the imperial court for such a military and state affairs, the governors of the three sides, the lower officials, have more than enough heart but not enough energy, I am afraid that the lower officials can't move a single soldier. "

Glancing at Li Huan, Yang Yiqing said again: "Besides, entering the grassland voluntarily seems simple, but in fact it is extremely risky. If you are not careful, it may trigger a war between the Tatars and our Ming Dynasty. Lord, I'm afraid no one will agree."

Li Huan knew in his heart that what Yang Yiqing said was the truth. If he really took the initiative to go out to provoke a war, in the eyes of all the court officials, no matter what the result was, even if he won the battle, he would be charged with the crime of arbitrarily provoking , and ultimately died.

Since Li Huan wanted to go out to find the troubles in the pot, he naturally thought about it, so after hearing Yang Yiqing's words, Li Huan just looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Master Yang, Li only asks you, but he has the guts to follow Li's advice?" Has someone slaughtered the inside of the pot when he left the customs?"

As he spoke, under Yang Yiqing's surprised gaze, he sneered and said, "As for how the court officials will react at that time, Li will be responsible for everything."

With a bit of self-confidence and publicity, Li Huan said calmly: "As the imperial envoy, Li, before leaving, His Majesty once said that the imperial envoy has the right to kill and report on matters in Shaanxi."

Yang Yiqing was stunned, and subconsciously said: "But my lord, it's a matter of military affairs..."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "So what about military affairs, as an imperial envoy, I can also decide with one word."

As he spoke, Li Huan stared at Yang Yiqing in a solemn voice and said, "Governor Yang Yiqing of the three sides listens to the order!"

Seeing that Li Huan showed the posture and posture of an imperial envoy, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Yang Yiqing is here!"

Looking at Yang Yiqing, Li Huan said slowly: "Governor Yang, within three days, with your best ability, how many elite cavalry can you dispatch to accompany me out of the customs?"

Hearing the words, Yang Yiqing pondered for a while and said: "If the time limit is only three days, if the subordinates use all their strength to mobilize, they can mobilize [-] fine cavalry, and within ten days they can mobilize [-] fine cavalry."

Li Huan frowned, listening to Yang Yiqing's meaning, if nothing unexpected happens, the three towns of Yansui, Gansu, and Ningxia can only have more than 10,000 elite cavalry, which is compared to the [-]+ army of the three towns , It is indeed a lot less, but to be honest, Yansui, Gansu, and Ningxia can mobilize more than [-] elites, which is already beyond Li Huan's expectations.

Li Huan said in a deep voice: "This imperial envoy orders you to immediately dispatch five thousand fine riders, and obey orders at any time."

Yang Yiqing said in a solemn voice: "The next official takes orders."

Glancing at Yang Yiqing, Li Huan cupped his hands at Yang Yiqing and said, "Li is here to thank Governor Yang on behalf of the people of Yansui."

Yang Yiqing shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "Master Li is serious. If you really want to say something, it should be the lower officials, the governors of the three sides, who thanked Master Li on behalf of the people of Yansui."

Yang Yiqing, with a face full of guilt, said to Li Huan: "Speaking of which, as the governor of the three sides, I shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the people on the three sides, but because of the negligence of the subordinate officials, the Tatars invaded and robbed the It is a crime for a subordinate to take away food."

Li Huan sighed softly: "My lord, why is he guilty? If he is guilty, it is also Tang's fault."

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "I have committed the crime of negligence, this time I can go out with my lord to destroy the Hulibu, and avenge the people of Yansui. If the court asks for the crime, I am willing to share it with my lord."

No matter what impressions or opinions he had on Li Huan before, when Li Huan knew he couldn't do it, and he was determined to lead the army to slaughter Hulibu and avenge the people of Yansui, Yang Yiqing only had Li Huan in his heart. tribute.

Such a person who is not afraid of life and death for the sake of the people, no matter how bad he is, is definitely not bad. As for Li Huan's killing of scholars and officials, these are nothing in Yang Yiqing's view.

He is in the locality and in charge of great power, so he doesn't know the nature of those officials and scholars. The people Li Huan kills must have their own way of death. Otherwise, anyone who should not be killed will be punished by the court. It's strange that the princes of Gungun didn't seize the opportunity to kill Li Huan.

Li Huan was able to live well until now, which shows that Li Huan did not kill anyone in vain.

Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing in surprise, with a slight smile on his lips. If Yang Yiqing really disagreed, he really couldn't go past Yang Yiqing and mobilize elite troops from the three sides.

Even if the team can be mobilized in the end, I am afraid that the best time has been missed, and it may even lead to news leaks.

It wasn't that Li Huan shouted the bottom line of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. If it were a stubborn civil servant sitting in the seat of the governor of the three sides, Li Huan could guarantee that the other party would never allow him to lead the army out of the pass.

Even in order to sabotage Li Huan's plan, he might not have tipped off the grassland aliens in advance.

Someone can definitely do this kind of thing.

Officials like Yang Yiqing who are willing to cooperate with him dare not say that they are unique, but they must be rare.

At this time Yang Yiqing looked at Li Huan solemnly and said, "Does Master Li have any plans?"

Since he agreed to cooperate with Li Huan's actions, Yang Yiqing even decided to personally lead the army to go out with Li Huan, so he naturally wanted to know if Li Huan had any plans.

Li Huan pondered for a while, looked at Yang Yiqing and said: "There is no specific plan yet, but since Tang Shi has a connection with the inside of the pot, let's find out from Tang Shi, maybe we can gain something."

Yang Yiqing nodded slightly.

汤氏
The huge Tang's mansion was in chaos at the moment.

The Tang family sent out a guard commander, Tang Dingbang, and Tang clan members served in both the army and the local government. I dare not say that they controlled all aspects of Yulin Road, but they also installed many people.

It is precisely because of this that the Tang family is known as the first family in Yulin Road, and was able to carry out various transactions with foreign races outside the customs without being obstructed by the government.

It's just that Tang's mansion at this time is already in a mess, the whole mansion is surrounded by the army, it can be said that the siege is tight, no one can escape from the mansion.

A group of Jin Yiwei rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers, and the first to arrest were the core members of the Tang family.

All the elders of the Tang clan were arrested from their respective courtyards without even knowing what was going on.

Even if there were clan elders who were outside, Jin Yiwei was also sent to arrest them, so as to ensure that not one member of the Tang clan escaped.

The prison of the county government was already overcrowded at this time, so Li Huan had no choice but to order a manor of the Tang family to be cleared out and used to imprison members of the Tang family.

Of course, the more important point is to check Tang's family wealth. There are still 10,000+ people outside the city waiting to be fed, hovering on the line of life and death.

According to Han Le, who is the accountant of the Tang family, the food hoarded by the Tang family's huge industry is as much as [-] to [-] shi in several granaries, which is less than the relief food allocated by the imperial court. Much more.

Li Huan, Yang Yiqing, Ding Dechao and several other officials stood in front of one of Tang's granaries. When the granary was opened, the crowd looked at the golden and white rice grains filling the granary, and then thought of the countless People are starving to death, but those who still have a conscience in their hearts can't help cursing Tang.

If it is said that the Tang family hoards grain and refuses to take it out to relieve the victims, that’s fine. After all, the grain belongs to others, and they can dispose of it as they want. The key point is that the Tang family has hoarded so much grain, and even colluded with the Tatars. It is completely unconscionable to use the idea of ​​saving food for the people affected by the disaster.

Especially when Ding Dechao looked at the full warehouse of grain, he thought that when he came to the door again and again to ask the Tang family to provide hundreds of shi of grain to help the victims, Tang Dingguo, who was the head of the Tang family, would shirk him again and again, saying that their Tang family had a large population , Many people in the clan can't get enough to eat.

Then who will tell him what is going on with this full warehouse of grain, even if all the members of the Tang family open their stomachs to eat, how much can they eat.

Taking a deep breath, Ding De bowed to Li Huan and said, "I also ask the imperial envoy to allow these confiscated grains to be used to help the victims outside the city."

Ding Dechao knew that the imperial court had its own rules, these grains were confiscated stolen goods, not anyone could move them at will, without Li Huan's permission, at this juncture, no one dared to touch these grains.

Hearing this, Li Huan glanced at Ding Dechao, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I will hand over all the grain that Tang's confiscated to you to supervise and distribute, Mr. Ding, I hope you can make good use of these grains to help the victims .”

After Li Huan's words fell, Ding Dechao knelt down in front of Li Huan with a plop, his face was full of excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, my lord, imperial envoy, my servant... I thank you, my lord, on behalf of the people of Suide."

Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard the commotion, followed the sound, and saw a beggar stopped by several Jin Yiwei.

"I want to see the imperial envoy, I want to report!"

Li Huan and the others came over, and their eyes fell on the beggar. The beggar's clothes were in tatters, but if you look carefully, you can find that there is a faint evil spirit on this person. Huge soldiers.

Frowning, Li Huan said: "My official is Li Huan, the imperial envoy. Who are you, and who are you reporting?"

Although several Jin Yiwei said they were still blocking the beggar, they let go of the beggar.

When the beggar saw Li Huan and Yang Yiqing and other officials, he suddenly bowed down and said: "The young guard Shi Erlang of Sanlangkou, Yansui Town, Ming Dynasty, specially reported to the adults that Shangguan Tangye colluded with the Tatars and killed fellow soldiers. Robe, let the enemy invade..."

Although they already knew the news of the collusion between the Tang family and the Tatars, and could guess that the Tatars must have people from the Tang family as internal support when they crossed the checkpoint, but there has been no evidence so far.

Unexpectedly, some soldiers from Sanlangkou survived and came to report and testify against the collusion between the Tang family and the Tatars.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan strode forward, helped Shi Erlang up and said, "Okay, the Tang family colluded with the Tatars, and this official and the governor of the three sides, Mr. Yang, have ordered him to confiscate his family and exterminate his family. If Wuchang Shi and you, the party, testify against Tang's crimes, you will definitely be able to crucify the Tang family's crimes."

Hearing this, Shi Erlang couldn't help crying and bowed to Li Huan, "I thank you sir on behalf of my comrade who died tragically."

Li Huan hurriedly supported Shi Erlang and said, "Mr. Shi, please don't say that."

Glancing at Shi Erlang, Li Huan said: "I intend to lead the army into the grassland and slaughter the inside of the pot. I don't know if Corporal Shi is willing to accompany you..."

When Shi Erlang heard the words, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "The little one is willing to go, as long as he can avenge the brothers, even if the little one dies, the little one is also willing."

Li Huan patted Shi Erlang on the shoulder, and said to a Jinyi guard, "Take Chief Shi to freshen up."

When they returned to the county office, Li Huan sat down with Yang Yiqing, took a look at Yang Yiqing and said, "Thanks to the help of Governor Yang for cleaning up the remaining Tang clan in the past two days."

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, this is the job of an official."

As he said that, Yang Yiqing showed a bit of shame on his face and said: "I am ashamed to say that, as the governor of the three sides, I did not expect that the commander Tang Dingbang would have placed so many clansmen in the army. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. Otherwise, in the future, he will turn his guards into the Tang family's private army, and I don't know what will happen."

Li Huan nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Yao striding over.

Walking closer, Chen Yao bowed to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing and said, "My lord, brothers, under the overnight interrogation, the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei, has confessed all kinds of transactions between the Tang family and the pot over the years, not just smuggling salt. Tie, and many of the general's soldiers were traded to Hulibu privately, and according to the previous agreement, Hulibu will hand over [-] good horses to Tang after three days."

Li Huan looked at Chen Yao with bright eyes and said, "Where is the transaction place?"

Chen Yao seemed to have guessed Li Huan's intentions, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, according to Tang's instructions, this transaction will be handed over as usual, at the bank of the Guli River ten miles away from Hulibu's residence." .”

Li Huan took a deep breath, with joy on his face, he pondered for a while and said, "Go and bring Tang Dingwei, I have something to ask him."

Chen Yao left after hearing the words, and Yang Yiqing, who was sitting by the side, seemed to have guessed Li Huan's intentions, looked at Li Huan and said, "Could it be that Mr. Li is planning to take advantage of this transaction between the Tang family and Hulibu to use troops against Hulibu?" ?”

Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing with a smile and said: "This is a perfect opportunity, what does Governor Yang think!"
