Blood from Daming

Chapter 636 Interrogation
When Xue Yun and Yu San were full of wine and food, Governor Zhao and Zhifu Li arrived at the Deputy Commander's Mansion. When Yun and Yu San went to welcome Governor Zhao and Li Zhifu into the mansion, Eunuch Zhang also arrived under the escort of Mr. Tu Qian.

After Xue Yun welcomed Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, and Prefect Li into the conference hall, the five of them started a wealthy feast to divide the wealth of the participants in the assassination case. Xue Yun handed over the list of confiscated property to the other four, Everyone looked at the list of belongings in their hands intently.

The confiscated property recorded on the list includes: 230 taels of gold, 28 taels of silver, 31 million taels of gold and silver wares, 17 boxes of rare treasures of pearls, jade, agate, tortoiseshell, emerald, ginseng , animal skins, silk, cloth, sulfur, copper and iron, salt, tea, etc. worth 50 million silver, as well as a batch of armored weapons, and nearly 23 cattle, sheep, mules and horses. There are 51 manors, 73 mansions, pavement 34 rooms, 830 buildings, 8000 houses, and more than [-] mu of land around Datong City.

Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, Zhifu Li, and Yu San were all very surprised when they saw it. These properties and real estate were close to 200 million taels of silver. It's not the usual fat, it's really the tortoise with the meat hidden in the belly, everyone's heart is hot, and they all look in Xue Yun's direction.

Xue Yunxin said that these people are still short-sighted, and that his concubine Ao Lan has moved out at least 50 silver in gold and silver properties, all of which do not include the sporadic gold and silver properties that were confiscated after dawn, otherwise there would be at least a dozen or 20 silver property.

Xue Yun nodded to Yu San and said: "Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Li, do you have any good suggestions for these confiscated adverse births?"

Governor Zhao and Zhifu Li are still calm, but Eunuch Zhang has long been beaming with joy. Eunuch Zhang said with a smile: "Xue Jiajun, you are a lucky general. As long as you take action, there will be a steady stream of gold and silver treasures." If you don’t want to make a fortune, you won’t be able to do it.”

Governor Zhao couldn't help coughing twice, and Eunuch Zhang came to his senses and said, "General Xue, let's deal with it according to the old rules."

Governor Zhao and Prefect Li nodded in agreement, and Xue Yun said: "It will still be divided according to the ratio of [-] to Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Zhao, Commander Luo, Mr. Li, and the officials of Datong Prefecture. Generals Zhang Can, Liang Can and other Datong generals will divide up, and then how much property they will take to comfort the people of Datong City."

Eunuch Zhang said: "General Xue, you can figure it out, we are not the kind of misers who don't give up a penny."

Xue Yun said: "My lords, this time we used traitors to assassinate the last general, and we have cleared up a large number of traitors and scum in Datong City. We ate meat, and one of them made the people drink some soup. There are 20 people in Datong City. Let’s get rid of the surrounding county government guards, how about preparing [-] silver and [-] cloth for food distribution.”

Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Li all agreed, so Xue Yun said to Yu San who had been sitting beside him listening: "Third brother, our Datong army takes 16% for Xue's army, [-]% for Yu's army, general Zhang Can and Liang Participating generals and other Datong armies account for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% of property, you Yu family army can probably get more than [-] taels of silver, third brother go back and report to Deputy General Yu, if he agrees, please bring a letter."

After Xue Yunzhi left Yu San, he discussed with Eunuch Zhang, Lord Zhao, and Lord Li how to deal with the criminals in the Xue family's gun camp. Eunuch Zhang said bluntly: "General Xue, the money has already been divided. Are you still going to let those people out to trouble our family?"

Eunuch Zhang’s words made Governor Zhao and Zhifu Li laugh for a while, and Xue Yun also laughed and said: “Well, let the future be this villain, but what should the inspector, counselor Zuo and those officials do? Come up with a plan."

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li faltered and refused to speak first, so that Eunuch Zhang next to him couldn't help but screamed: "Master Zhao, Mr. Li, the four of us have cooperated for several years. We can do this kind of thing well." Not too many, are you (^o^)/~ afraid that our family will go out with General Xue and talk nonsense, and the matter will continue to cause endless troubles now."

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li still hesitated to speak, Xue Yun secretly sighed that the rebellion of a scholar failed for three years, and this civil servant is also timid about killing people. He wants to cross the river but does not want to get his feet wet. How can there be such a cheap one in the world? As for the matter, Governor Zhao said after waiting for a long time: "The lower officials want to take the lower officials as the inspectors and the left counselors. If other officials are disobedient, they will try to drive them out of Datong Mansion."

Li Zhifu echoed and said: "Master Zhao is right, and this is what I mean as an official."

Xue Yun said: "Master Zhao and Master Li are open-minded and don't want to embarrass their colleagues. Then please trouble the two adults to communicate with those officials. As long as they say that they will not cause trouble in the future, we don't want to kill each other."

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li were unwilling to be the presiding judge, but only willing to be an observer. Xue Yun had no choice but to ask Eunuch Zhang to come out, but Eunuch Zhang readily agreed, and Xue Yun went to be the presiding judge himself. They were released, so the four of them went to the Xuejiajun Firearms Camp to try the case together.

The Xue Family Army Firearms Camp was just across the street from Xue Yun's Deputy Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. Under the escort of a large number of officers and soldiers, Xue Yun and the others quickly arrived in the Firearms Camp. Li Xiaoyong had already returned to the Firearms Camp to guard the prisoners and belongings. Seeing the bosses like Xue Yun coming, they hurriedly greeted them and went to the command post of the barracks.

The firearms battalion command post is a two-story stone house. There are many such houses in the firearms camp. They were all built by Xue Jiajun himself in the past few years. This is also determined by the characteristics of Xue Jiajun's firearms. Flammable and explosive items such as grenades, explosive kits, and firearms.

Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Li were in Li Xiaoyong's meeting room preparing to interrogate the prisoners. As the first prisoner to be interrogated, the Inspector Fang was brought to the meeting hall. The Inspector Fang, who was still a little sluggish just now, saw Xue Yun and Zhang Father-in-law, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Li stood there motionless with vigor.

Xue Yun ordered his own soldiers to sit for the Inspector Fang, and the Inspector Fang sat down in front of Xue Yun without hesitation, but raised his legs up, squinted at Governor Zhao and Zhifu Li who were sitting on the left, and took Governor Zhao The two of them, Li Zhifu and Li Zhifu, watched with trembling in their hearts, and the other party was faintly acting maliciously.

Xue Yun was polite to Eunuch Zhang, seeing that Eunuch Zhang didn't intend to ask the first question, Xue Yun had no choice but to come out and be the pioneer: "Master Fang, we invited you here this time to verify yesterday's case, since you and Why does Zuo Sensui keep preventing the Xue family army from capturing the Jian captives?"

The Inspector Fang Yin sneered and said, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to interrogate the Inspector for Prosecution? This is simply a joke."

Governor Zhao said: "Lord Fang, it's just General Xue Yun, the deputy general of Datong Town, who was ordered by the emperor to be in charge of Datong's military and civil affairs. How can you not be judged?"

The Inspector Fang said with a sneer: "The surname is Zhao, even a three-year-old child can tell that I and Master Zuo were forced by the Jian captives, and now I have a warrior to insult me. I am the one in charge of criminal law and mourning among the three divisions of the imperial court. If soldiers intervene, you are avenging your own private revenge."

Xue Yun said: "Lord Fang, this general is just asking you to understand the situation as a colleague. I hope you can actively cooperate and clarify the matter of covering up the Jianlu assassin. Don't let yourself go wrong."

Fang Yacha said angrily, "I won't speak until I see my superior."

This is the inspector Fang’s problem for the four of Xue Yun. Governor Zhao and the inspector Fang are not subordinate to each other. The prefect Li is even lower. Eunuch Zhang is the supervisor of Datong Town. According to the inspector's complacent look, Fang wanted to beat him to death.

Xue Yun took out the token of Jinyiwei Qianhu from under the table and said to Inspector Fang: "Master Fang, I am asking you as a general, you should be able to accept it."

The Inspector Fang carefully looked at Xue Yun's badge and said: "Xue Qianhu, your identity is enough, but it seems that you lack the clear order of the court, so you still can't do anything to me."

Xue Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Master Fang, this general is just trying to understand the situation, why are you fighting so hard?"

Inspector Fang Ya just watched Xue Yun silently with cold eyes, so Xue Yun had no choice but to show the imperial decree under the table to Inspector Fang. Inspector Fang stood in front of the table and read it carefully. The imperial decree read: Feng Dingguo was granted the rank of deputy general from the second-rank military officer Xue Yun to lead the Jinyiwei Thousand Households for the Imperial Forest Army, and was also appointed by the Imperial Wind Patrol Envoy to act on behalf of Tian Xunhun. Above the third rank, you can secretly listen to the ginseng and below the third rank. Take charge of life and death.
Inspector Fang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was a third-rank official, otherwise Xue Yun would have chopped off his head, and his death would be in vain. Inspector Fang got angry and started talking to Xue Yun, but Inspector Fang insisted It was the second daughter of Zuo Counselor who was held hostage, so he had no choice but to refuse the Xue family's army to enter and search.
