Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 184 Horror! Deterioration!

A quarter of an hour later!

Soldiers from the Infantry Command Yamen finally arrived, but it was already too late.

The battle is over.

Most of the thugs who came to attack Su Yi's residence were already dead.

There are five more alive.

The officers of the infantry commander's office were shocked. Is Su Yi's domestic slave left in the capital so fierce?

The leader turned out to be a beautiful woman.

Wang Tianyang's sister Wang Shengnan is an absolute social terrorist who likes to solve problems with her fists.

The officers of the infantry commander's office could clearly see that there were only a dozen or so people standing with swords in Su Yi's home.

But he killed all the murderers several times his own number.

Then, the troops from Dali Temple also arrived.

Su Quan stepped forward and held his hands.

Li Si, the young minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward and whispered: "Brother, what should I do?'

This is Li Qi's elder brother and one of Su Yi's friends.

Su Quandao: "Brother Li, you shouldn't have come."

When the Jiujiang prefecture was vacant, many people thought that Su Yi would recommend Li Si because he was one of the few friends in the court.

Now that Su Yi and the emperor were in conflict, in the eyes of many people, it was too late to hide from Su Yi and his family.

Tian Yugong will be unlucky, and Li Si will also be unlucky.

Everyone is waiting for when the emperor will attack these two people.

In the end, Li Si came in person.

And what he said seemed very interesting.

what should I do?

In Li Si's mind, he felt that Su Yi was directing and acting on his own.

Su Quan said bitterly: "Master Li, this is a real murderer. We are not acting. After you arrest him, you will have a good trial."

Immediately afterwards, the official from the infantry commander's office came forward and said, "What did you say?"

Obviously he was worried about what Li Si and Su Quan were whispering.

Li Sidao: "Sir, can we take these corpses and these living people away and interrogate them together?"

The official of the Infantry Command Yamen said: "Of course!"

Li Si stepped forward and said, "Please close the door."

He did not say that I would leave soldiers and horses for protection, because this kind of protection would probably turn into house arrest and surveillance.

But he didn't say anything. The infantry commander's office said rudely: "Leave thirty people to protect Mr. Su Yi's family."

"Whoo!"

Then, the thirty people from the infantry commander's office took the opportunity to stay.

............................................................

Inside Sanxi Hall!

The emperor's first reaction after hearing about the attack on Su Yi's home was that Su Yi was directing and acting.

"Send someone immediately to keep an eye on Su Yi's house to prevent his family from escaping!"

"Completely prevent all accidents such as a fire in his house."

"To completely prevent his family from taking the opportunity to escape."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Shuntian Prefecture will investigate together to find out who these murderers are?"

"Get to the bottom of it!"

Next, the three agencies reviewed the case overnight.

Hundreds of people and thousands of manpower were dispatched.

Based on confessions, hundreds of people were arrested.

The three remaining survivors of these murderers were interrogated repeatedly.

The governor of Shuntian, the minister of Dali Temple, and the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan were all present.

Even the infantry commander's office was present.

Military Minister Du Han also served as the emperor's imperial envoy, supervising the scene.

The purpose is very clear and must be thoroughly investigated to get to the bottom of it. No one can pretend to be a ghost.

Because in the eyes of the emperor, Du Han and others, this must be Su Yi directing and acting.

Under such tremendous pressure, the case quickly came to light.

Then, Du Han and others were completely embarrassed.

All the evidence, all the confessions, all point to two people.

The son of Dexing'a and the son of Weng Tongshu.

Half of these murderers were Nian troops who fled to the capital, and half were bandits from Shanxi.

Moreover, they also said that someone had taken care of everything. As long as they rushed in, killed all Su Yi's family members, and then escaped immediately, nothing would happen.

This money is easy to make.

Someone above was happy to see Su Yi's whole family killed.

It has nothing to do with Su Yi at all. It seems that they use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.

............................................................

Early the next morning!

Du Han went to the palace to report.

The emperor immediately asked: "Have you checked whether Su Yi directed and acted?"

Du Han shook his head and said, "No."

That didn't reveal who was behind it.

The emperor asked: "Who is that?"

Du Han said: "The third son of Weng Tongshu and the eldest son of Dexing'a. Twenty-nine people were hired as desperadoes. They spent a total of eight thousand taels of silver. They also said that everything had been taken care of. They killed Su Yi's whole family and immediately Escape cleanly and no one will catch you.”

The emperor was shocked.

It wasn't Su Yi who did it?

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, there will be trouble next, because Dali Temple is also participating in the trial, and Tian Yugong and Su Yi have an irreconcilable relationship, so the facts of this case may be leaked. If we really want to pursue the case, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's son, Either he will be sentenced to autumn, or Ning Guta will be exiled."

For such a serious crime, he must be executed.

but……

Dexing'a is dead, Weng Tongshu is dead, and it seems understandable that his son should go to avenge his father.

Of course, the emperor could be forgiven for not caring about this.

He only cares about political impact.

"The truth of this case is kept secret and cannot be leaked." The emperor said: "What do you think should be done about these two behind-the-scenes instigators?"

Du Han thought for a while and said: "De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu were robbed and killed as imperial envoys, which can be regarded as sacrificing their lives for the country. It would be too ungrateful and heartless to attack their children immediately, and the court would seem too merciless." "

"So, these two people are placed under house arrest at home and are not allowed to go out even half a step."

Du Han's words were not fully explained. Because the case could not be made public, the two men could not be convicted. The reason why the case cannot be made public is because if it is made public, it will put the court at a disadvantage and give Su Yi the initiative in public opinion.

The emperor nodded and said: "Let's do it!"

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, it was not easy to send troops to surround Su Yi's home before. Now it is just right to surround Su Yi's family in the name of protection."

The emperor said: "Call two hundred people to protect Su Yi's family."

Wang Chenggui outside said: "Hey!"

Half an hour later!

Two hundred soldiers from the infantry command yamen marched outside Su Yi's residence.

Guard every position outside the courtyard.

............................................................

Jiangnan camp handsome tent!

The deaths of imperial ministers Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu received an even stronger impact here.

You know, He Guiqing personally came to the Jiangnan camp to lend troops to Weng Tongshu, and he even planned to follow Weng Tongshu to take office in Jiujiang.

When the news reached his ears, He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, was covered with ice and cold. He hid under the thick quilt and felt shivering.

He couldn't help but think that it was a good thing it was on a canal section.

What if it was attacked on the Yangtze River? Then maybe he is also on the boat.

Next, the entire Jiangnan camp and the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion also held a lot of discussions.

At first, everyone felt that this must be Su Yi's doing.

But as time went by, these people thought the same as the officials in the capital.

A smart person like Su Yi wouldn't do such a crazy thing, right?

Not at all.

This...is tantamount to rebellion.

Even if Su Yi is dismissed from office, there will still be a chance for him to rise again in the future, not to mention that he has not been dismissed from office at this time.

And once this happens, all suspicious eyes will be on Su Yi.

At this moment, Zhang Guoliang rushed in and said, "Sir, look!"

"Rebellion against the city gate of Tianjing, the puppet capital."

He Chun, the head coach of the Jiangnan camp, and He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, rushed out.

He picked up the telescope and looked at the Tianjing City Gate not far away.

Jiangnan Camp and Tianjing are so close that they can indeed be seen clearly.

I saw hundreds of heads hanging on the Chaoyang Gate.

All of them had ferocious expressions.

He Guiqing began to search and immediately found two familiar heads.

Weng Tongshu, Dexing A.

You don't even need to look for them, because there are banners hanging under the two heads with their names written on them.

After reading, He Guiqing and He Chun looked at each other.

I don't know why, but I breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yi's suspicion has been dispelled a bit.

This feeling of relief also disappeared a bit.

If it was Su Yi who did it, it would be terrible. He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, would always feel like a thorn in his back.

But why?

He Chun said: "There is no reason for Fa Ni to do this. They rarely go deep into the canal and take the risk to ambush Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu? It feels like there is no reason. There is no deep hatred between these two people and Fa Ni, although they once In the Jiangbei Camp, we have never achieved any decent results against Fa Ni. If we want to talk about hatred, the person Fa Ni hates the most is Su Yi."

He Guiqing said: "Yes, the person I hate most for being rebellious is Su Yi."

Zhang Guoliang next to him said: "In the battle in Yangzhou, Su Yi won a complete victory and wiped out countless Fa Ni. In the battle in Jiangxi, Su Yi wiped out tens of thousands of Fa Ni's troops, and even recovered Jiujiang and Nanchang, causing Fa Ni to lose nearly 100,000 troops. Half of the land. So Fa Ni hates Su Yi deeply."

He Chun said: "So, the purpose of killing Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu was to drive a wedge between the court and Su Yi? But this is wrong. If you want to frame Su Yi, you shouldn't hang their heads out. ah."

Zhang Guoliang said: "How did Fa Ni know about Weng Tongshu and De Xing'a's itinerary? They must have been informed secretly by officials of the Qing Dynasty."

"Then who is this Qing official?"

He Chun said: "Everyone's instinctive reaction must be Su Yi, but... I think it is more likely to be Zeng Guofan."

"Nowadays, there are only two groups of people who hate Su Yi the most and want to drive him away. One is the rebels and the other is the Hunan Army."

"The Hunan Army could have captured the entire Jiangxi, but Su Yi usurped the governor of Jiangxi, and Shen Baozhen even rebelled. As long as Su Yi is driven away, the entire Jiangxi will belong to the Hunan Army."

"Fa Ni is also most afraid of Su Yi. He is so good at fighting. Originally, Fa Ni had only one real opponent in the south, and that was the Hunan Army. Now there is Su Yi. As long as Su Yi is driven away, they will be under pressure. Big reduction.”

"In fact, if the court can force Su Yi to rebel, Su Yi will be even more delighted."

Then, Zhang Guoliang said: "Sir, would you like to report this idea to the emperor?"

Next to him, He Gui, the governor of Liangjiang, said in a cold voice: "One more thing is worse than one less thing."

He Guiqing wished that Su Yi would be unlucky.

Now the court is suspicious of Su Yi. As soon as the foreigners retreat, the emperor will attack Su Yi. How can He Guiqing clarify for Su Yi?

And right now.

The Chaoyang Gate of Tianjing opened, and a soldier rushed out, running directly towards the Jiangnan camp.

The Jiangnan camp suddenly felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

"This is a letter from the Kingdom of Heaven to your court. Hand over the traitor Wei Jun immediately, alive or dead."

"Exchange Wei Jun's head for five hundred heads including Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu."

"If you don't agree, we will continue to rob and kill any of your official ships!"

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"

Then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldier shot an arrow directly.

The sharp arrow was nailed to the flagpole with a piece of paper stuck on it.

Pull out the arrow and open the paper.

The writing on it was very sloppy and murderous.

Sure enough, it was what the soldier said. Wei Jun's head was exchanged for 500 heads of Dexing'a, Weng Tongshu and others. From now on, no generals and officials from the Kingdom of Heaven were allowed to surrender. If not, the Kingdom of Heaven would attack the canals and the people on the river indiscriminately. Any official ship of the Qing Dynasty.

Jiangnan Camp coach He Chun glanced at He Guiqing.

"Send it to the capital!"

He Chun said: "Send it to the capital as quickly as possible!"

…………………………………………………… Tianjin, after getting the emperor’s approval.

As expected, Guiliang and Hua Shana had a much smoother conversation.

Of course, on the surface, Guiliang still fought hard with Li and talked desperately.

But in fact, whatever the British said, he could only agree after fighting for a while.

The only thing he talked about at length was reparations.

Because this is relatively obvious, the credit will be great after talking about it.

The lion on the British side opened his mouth wide and shouted an astronomical number.

Guiliang is trying his best to lower the price.

But in fact, what the British and French cared least about during this negotiation was the amount of compensation.

What they care about is the other content in the treaty, which represents great interests.

These reparations and even military expenditures are not enough.

By shouting so loudly on purpose, they wanted the Qing court to make a counter-offer. Britain and France would give in a little bit here and take a big bite elsewhere.

............................................................

A few days later!

The emperor received a report from He Chun, the commander of Jiangnan Camp.

Also, the letter from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The direct murderer who robbed and killed the imperial envoy appeared, which was rebellion.

Moreover, the heads of Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu, as well as hundreds of attendants, were all hung on the top of the city.

Seeing this, the emperor was furious again.

Then, I saw Fa Ni’s handwritten letter.

Wei Jun's head was exchanged for the heads of Dexing'a, Weng Tongshu and five hundred others. Furthermore, no generals or officials from the Kingdom of Heaven are allowed to surrender in the future, otherwise they will attack any official ship of Qing Yao indiscriminately.

After reading this.

The emperor was silent for a while.

An idea also came to my mind.

I'm afraid that Su Yi really wasn't responsible for robbing and killing the imperial envoy.

Then, he handed Sushun Hechun's secret memorial and the intimate letter from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After Sushun read it, he handed it to Duanhua and passed it down one by one.

After a while, more than a dozen important ministers had finished reading.

Everyone had an idea. Could it be that... Su Yi really didn't kill this person?

Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, there is a problem here. The whereabouts of Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's imperial fleet are top secret, and this ambush was completely carefully planned. How could Fa Ni know the imperial fleet very well? I have some internal secrets in the Qing Dynasty. Officials secretly reported it and colluded with the rebels."

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Kuang's opinion. And this will make it even more dangerous. Imperial officials, especially the feudal officials, collude with Fa Ni, and the south is in danger!"

Although the two of them didn't say Su Yi's name, they kept talking about Su Yi secretly.

Military Minister Ruilin came out and said: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with this! We just fell into the treacherous plot of being like this!"

Du Han said: "Lord Ruilin, are you trying to say that the robbery and killing of the imperial fleet had nothing to do with Su Yi?"

Ruilin said: "It just doesn't matter."

Du Han said: "Does Fa Ni have a deep hatred for De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu? Why did he want to rob and kill them?"

Ruilin said: "It's just to drive a wedge between the imperial court and Su Yi."

"Your Majesty, who do you hate most for rebelling now? Who are you most afraid of?" Ruilin said, "Of course it's Su Yi."

"Since Su Yi led the army, he has destroyed tens of thousands of Fa Ni's troops, regained Yangzhou, Jiujiang, and Nanchang, and even allowed Fa Ni to lose the entire Jiangxi. With such a fierce general, Fa Ni is naturally like a thorn in his back, so I want to remove him."

"After Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's imperial fleet were robbed and killed, everyone unanimously felt that it was Su Yi's doing."

"Next, remove Su Yi from all official positions and bring him to Beijing?"

"Or send a few guards and go directly to Jiujiang to kill him?"

"In this way, the rebels eliminated their biggest enemy and rival without spending a single soldier. And some people easily captured the entire Jiangxi and eliminated their biggest political opponent."

"What a great trick!"

"It's just that in this case, it's completely painful for the relatives and quick for the enemies, Your Majesty!"

Then, Ruilin said: "If Su Yi had other intentions and robbed and killed the imperial fleet, what should he do most now? Regain military power and transfer Wang Shiqing's new army from Yangzhou back to Jiujiang. With military power in hand, the court If someone wants to deal with him, he must be wary, lest he be forced to rebel. And now, have the new troops from Yangzhou returned to Jiujiang?"

"no!"

"Are there any such alienated people in this world?"

"The knife is already on his neck, but he still doesn't use the weapon?"

These words have also reached the hearts of many people.

At this time, the eunuch Zenglu's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to see me."

The emperor instinctively wanted to say no, but at this critical moment, he still wanted to hear what Chongen had to say?

Chongen entered, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the murderer who attacked Su Yi's family has been arrested, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been confessed. They are Dexing'a's eldest son and Weng Tongshu's third son. Why not arrest them?"

The emperor suddenly frowned.

Du Han said: "Lord Chong'en, where did you hear the news? It's completely false. The people who attacked Su Yi's mansion this time were Nian bandits who fled to the capital and horse bandits from Shanxi. They are all Su Yi's old enemies. What? The eldest son of Dexing'a, who is Weng Tongshu's third son? These two adults sacrificed their lives for the country, and their bodies are still cold. Chongen, do you think you can live up to the conscience of heaven and earth by saying such things?"

"Bullshit, the conscience of the world." Chongen roared angrily: "Paper can't keep fire. The Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Shuntian Mansion held trials overnight. The evidence has long been conclusive. The eldest son of Dexing'a and the third son of Weng Tongshu are the instigators behind the scenes."

"If you don't arrest the criminals with solid evidence, you will still let them get away with it."

"The imperial fleet was robbed and killed. There is no evidence that it was Su Yi who claimed it, but you think the evidence is not false."

"As imperial envoys, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu were robbed and killed, which is certainly sad. But did they have any merit for the country and the Qing Dynasty? No! Instead, they stirred up trouble and committed evil."

"And what about Su Yi? How much contribution have you made to the country? Aren't you afraid that the world will be disappointed by your actions like this?"

"Isn't it because Su Yi is setting up factories and engaging in foreign affairs that makes you feel uncomfortable? Don't you just think that he is too aloof for the sake of the country? He is so intolerant and narrow-minded that he deserves to be invaded by foreign barbarians!"

"If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will fall sooner or later, at the hands of you unscrupulous descendants."

Chongen's violent outburst immediately made the emperor confused.

When he said he was intolerant and narrow-minded, was he talking about me?

The unworthy descendant he was talking about, was he talking about me?

A few years ago, Chongen was not so direct when it came to trolling people.

But this time, the scolding was too direct.

The emperor couldn't even react at once.

Then Chongen shouted: "Your Majesty, if you think Su Yi is guilty, and if you think Su Yi really robbed and killed the imperial fleet, then don't act like it. Just take our whole family to Caishikou and question them all." Behead it."

Sure enough, the emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and roared: "Chongen, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Chongen shouted: "Then you kill me!"

"You come to kill, you come to kill..." After saying that, Chongen rushed forward, straightening his neck to let the emperor kill him.

The emperor was furious, walked directly to the edge, picked up his sword, and was about to kill him.

Prince Hui Mianyu and Minister of Military Aircraft Ruilin rushed forward to protect the emperor desperately.

Mian Yu yelled: "Chongen, what are you doing here? Let's go, let's go."

"A small stick means you will suffer, a big stick means you will move away! Chongen, you go away..."

Chongen roared angrily: "If I don't leave, let him kill, let him kill. I want to see how many more years he can keep struggling with my ancestor's empire?"

Mianyu yelled: "Zenglu, what are you doing here? Hurry up and carry Chong Enzao away!"

After a moment, several guards rushed in, directly lifted Chongen up and walked outside.

Chongen kept struggling and still yelled: "Let him kill me, I cleaned my neck."

The emperor, on the other hand, was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

The whole person is about to faint.

Next up!

Rumors suddenly spread throughout the capital.

Someone in the court colluded and rebelled, robbed and killed the imperial fleet, and tried to put the blame on Su Yi.

There is a traitor in the court.

I want to get rid of Master Su Yi.

The rumor exploded instantly.

Because it's too scary.

The imperial envoy's fleet was actually robbed and killed?

It was completely conveyed vividly.

Now Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu, along with hundreds of others' heads, are hanging on the city walls of Tianjing, the puppet capital of the rebellion.

what? !

Are you saying that Mr. Su Yi colluded with Fa Ni to rob and kill the imperial fleet?

What kind of big joke are you kidding?

The person whom Fa Tie hated the most was not Zeng Guofan, but Mr. Su Yi.

Since the beginning of the war, how many rebellious armies have Sir Su Yi destroyed?

A total of tens of thousands.

Moreover, half of the land in Rebellion was recovered by Master Su Yi.

There is Qin Hui in the court!

We want to harm Yue Fei!

At this time, it can be said that the hearts and minds of the entire capital are all on Su Yi's side.

Because hundreds of thousands of people lent money to Su Yi to set up factories, everyone had a community of interests.

Moreover, Su Yi promised to lend him this money and earn 20% of the income every year!

Of course, the deadline for dividends has not yet arrived.

But everyone firmly believed in Su Yi.

Moreover, they paid to buy the fields, and they bought the fields at half price.

These fertile fields have now been obtained and are being cultivated.

The most important thing is that there are more than 20,000 immigrants going to Jiujiang, and they will keep writing letters back.

Tens of thousands of family letters.

Some said that they have become workers and now study every day and receive money without any deductions.

Some people say that they are officials and have already entered the government.

In short, totally eat well and dress well.

The days are moving forward.

And there are thousands of people who have already found their wives and are waiting for Master Su Yi to hold weddings for them in person.

How powerful are tens of thousands of family letters?

And then!

Several more attacks occurred at Su Yi's residence!

The first time, in the middle of the night, someone fired rockets at the house from a distance.

The second time was also at midnight.

Someone actually used a trebuchet to smash the fireball into Su Yi's mansion.

The third time, someone poisoned the food bought by Su Yi's family.

Then, Su Yi sent a memorial.

Your Majesty, if you feel that I am guilty, please give me a formal punishment.

Someone has tried to murder my family again and again, and the evidence is conclusive. Why doesn't the court arrest him?

When the emperor saw this memorial, his face was uncertain.

next day!

Eunuch Wang Deli came quickly to report.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi's whole family has disappeared..."

Hearing these words, the emperor was completely shocked.

"Aren't there hundreds of people guarding outside? Aren't they surrounding his mansion completely?"

"How did they disappear? Will they escape?"

Eunuch Wang Deli didn't know either. Hundreds of people from the infantry commander's yamen were always guarding outside.

However, Su Yi's whole family disappeared mysteriously.

Looking at Su Yi's memorial again, it is written clearly.

If the Emperor does not deal with the murderers who tried to murder my family, then I can only take my family members away, please ask the Emperor for permission.

When the emperor saw this, he thought Su Yi was making a request.

But... I didn't expect it to be a notification.

And he was so powerful that he sent his family away without a sound.

The emperor trembled and said: "Search, search, search the whole city!"

"I'll dig three feet into the ground to find Su Yi's family!"

Sushun said from the side: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Su Yi is the murderer who robbed the imperial fleet, now that he has decided to move all his family members away, this...this proves that he is ready to break up with each other. .”

"It proves that Su Yi has lost patience with the court."

"Your Majesty, things have gone bad."

"Next, many issues will become different."

"It proves that Su Yi will never be like before, always available when called upon."

"I suggest you don't do anything next and just wait for his move!"
