Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 346 Ming Canon Punishment
"This general is the deputy garrison of Pingxi Fort, a majestic court official, who dares to treat this general like this, could it be that in this bright and bright world, you can't kill the official and rebel!"

Xu Yongda, who was controlled by the men in black, screamed hoarsely, struggled, and took out his identity as a court general to intimidate these men in black, trying to make them let go of him.

And Xu Yongda's soldiers immediately reacted after being stunned for a moment. They all roared and drew their weapons, and rushed to rescue their general.

"Bold! Where are the thieves who dare to act presumptuously in our Fort Pingxi? If you don't let the general go, he will be captured without a fight, or you will be in a dilemma!"

The soldiers roared and were about to charge forward, Xu Yongda's eyes also showed hope, waiting for his subordinates to rescue him from the group of men in black, but——

After an old and majestic voice sounded from behind Xu Yongda, everyone present froze on the spot. Xu Yongda himself even turned his head quickly and looked in disbelief at the direction the voice came from. Words that fell into one's own ears.

"Presumptuous! These people are my subordinates, and they are all acting under my orders. Are you soldiers going to mutiny in front of me!"

The person who spoke was none other than Xu Guangqi standing on the general platform.

And the golden sword patterns on the chests of the people in black will also make their identities ready to be revealed. They are the members of the Anbu Department of Pingxi Fort that Zhu Youjian temporarily handed over to Xu Guangqi's command!
"What! These people turned out to be old Xu Ge! Then why did they arrest Xu Shoubei?"

"I don't know, maybe Xu Shoubing committed something, otherwise why would he be arrested, keep your voice down, these things are not something we civilians can get involved in."

"But... but Xu Shoubei is a good person. The head of my family came back a few days ago and said that Zheng Fangping had swallowed their military pay, but Xu Shoubei was kind enough to see that the soldiers did not suffer, so he paid for everyone. Money keeps everyone alive, so what can such a good organ do?"

"Hush! Then who knows, Mr. Xu Ge is also a good official, and he will definitely not wrong people. Maybe something happened that we don't know. Let's take a look again and see what Mr. Xu Ge said. If Xu Shoubei has been wronged, then we will naturally intercede for him after accepting his kindness."

"Well, let's listen first..."

The people were discussing that if Xu Guangqi ordered people to take down Xu Yongda before the grain trucks appeared, maybe the people and soldiers would have rioted by now. After all, in their eyes at that time, Xu Yongda had given them a way out A good official, and Xu Guangqi, although he is a high-ranking official from the court, has nothing to do with them. Naturally, they will not want to do anything to a good official who loves them.

But it’s different now. With the previous foreshadowing, in everyone’s hearts, this old Xu Ge is also a good official. Since he is a good official, he will definitely not arrest Xu Yongda, another good official, for no reason. Calm down and listen to his explanation. Of course, if the explanation doesn't satisfy them, they still won't agree because they think they have benefited from Xu Yongda.

For this point, Xu Guangqi naturally understood, if he hadn't been completely sure, he would not have broken up with Xu Yongda at this time.

I saw Xu Guangqi waving behind him, and immediately a man in black walked up to the general platform holding a tray, and came to Xu Guangqi's side.

There are not many things in the tray, only a few letters and an account book.

After Xu Guangqi greeted him, the people in black immediately put Xu Yongda on the general platform. Xu Guangqi gave a slight signal, and the man in black with the tray brought the tray in front of Xu Yongda who was under control.

Xu Guangqi looked at Xu Yongda coldly, and said in an extremely cold tone: "You probably don't know these things!"

The controlled Xu Yongda looked at the familiar things on the tray in front of him, his pupils dilated to the maximum in an instant, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

Swallowing hard, Xu Yongda suppressed the fear in his heart and shook his head quickly, and argued loudly: "Xu Ge old Mingjian, the general doesn't recognize these things, these things don't belong to the general, the general Never seen anything like this before!"

Xu Guangqi sneered and said, "You don't recognize them, the things don't belong to you? You've never seen them?

Hehe, when did the officer say that these things belong to you? You are so self-confident, do you still want to admit the heinous deeds you have committed!

These things are all obtained from your family. Are you surprised that your letters with Jiangnan and southeast gentry and the ledger of selling relief supplies with Jian slaves outside the customs, which were carefully hidden by you in the secret room, came into my hands? superior! "

The evidence is already in front of him, but Xu Yongda is still denying it. After all, if the crimes revealed in these evidences are proven, they will make people die without a place to bury them. How can he admit it?
He was stubborn, but Xu Guangqi was not in a hurry. With a calm sneer on his face, he picked up the ledger and opened it, then took out an official document from his pocket and unfolded it, pointing to the same writing on it and shouted: "Xu Yongda, don't think that If you don’t admit it, you can fool it. Since you said that the account book and the letter are not yours, then you can explain to the officer why the handwriting on the account book is exactly the same as the handwriting you usually write when dealing with official documents?
Also, look who this person is! "

After finishing speaking, Xu Guangqi waved his hand behind him, and immediately a man in black escorted a middle-aged man in a butler uniform to the general platform.

Xu Guangqi pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Xu Yongda, this is the butler of your house, and he is also responsible for handling your dirty affairs for you, and he has recruited them all.

In addition to the account books of the trade with Jiannu and the correspondence with those bold gentry in the southeast of the south of the Yangtze River, now that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say!Still want to quibble! "

boom!
All the witnesses and testimonies were presented one by one, even if Xu Yongda knew that no matter how much he quibbled and refused to admit it, it would be useless.

There was a rumble in the brain, and the mind was completely blank. The whole person sat on the ground in a daze, with his head down, unable to utter any sophistry words.

Seeing this, Xu Guangqi already understood that he had given up resisting, so he snorted coldly, ignored him, turned his head, faced the audience, and spoke loudly about the crimes he had committed.

"Xu Yongda, the current deputy guard of Zipingxi Fort, not only failed to fulfill his duties and protect the people under his rule during his tenure, but also colluded with lawless people, embezzled the relief supplies of the imperial court and sold them to enemies outside the pass. Belonging to the enemy and treason, committing several heinous crimes such as embezzlement, treason and treason, this officer captured him on the spot, and immediately escorted him to Beijing to be judged by the Holy Majesty!
Order the second and third sons to immediately seal off the mansion of Xu Yongda, the criminal general, control all relatives within the nine clans in the fort, seal off all his property, and deal with it after the imperial edict is passed. Before that, any family members are not allowed to flee without authorization. Use it as an example! "

Xu Guangqi's voice slowly fell, and everyone present recovered from the shocking change of the situation, and there was a commotion!
