Jinyi Fengliu

Chapter 542 Evidence

In the face of the fierce soldiers and horses of the Shenshu camp, He Jin's remnants had no resistance. In just half an hour, the encounter ended with the surrender of the rebels, and several rebellious generals and hundreds of rebels were killed.

Shenshu Camp opened into Ningxia Town, and Song Nan, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others met, and they couldn't help but be happy. At the beginning of the update, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong led the follow-up troops also arrived. Since the distribution of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the end of the nightmare, Song Nan ordered to send back all the new soldiers who were forcibly conscripted into the army, arranged personnel to once again clean up the remnants of Zhu Huan in the city, and took out many hidden Ningxia town officials and captured Zhu Yuqi. He Jin and others were detained together and strictly guarded.

At night, Song Nan held a banquet in the royal palace to pick up Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yongjiang Bin, Xu Tai and others. During the dinner, they talked about the thrilling places in entering Ningxia Town. Everyone was stunned and sighed. Song Nan was famous for his love of adventure. This time, he was in danger in Ningxia Town several times and lost his life almost several times. These things may only be He can do it.

Song Nan and Qiu Yu came to the bottom of the city. I don't know when the rebellion will subside, but in fact, everyone understands that Song Nan's trip to Ningxia Town actually prompted Zhu Yu to take action earlier. If Song Nan hadn't been staring at Zhu Yu, Zhu Huan would not have been fully prepared. If you promote it, it will not be easily wiped out.

To understand this point, everyone is a little in awe of Song Nan in addition to admiration. Song Nan's behavior is actually very extreme. As Song Nan said, since it is a poisonous sore, sooner or later he will have to come up, keep it ulcerated and purulent and then slowly recover. It is better to directly remove the poisonous sores with a knife. The so-called long pain is better than short pain.

Think about it, Song Nan is in Ningxia Town, surrounded by strong enemies, and his life and safety are threatened, but he can make such a bold decision. If it is not for great wisdom and courage, he can only be described as crazy.

"Lord Song is both wise and brave, and General Qiu is loyal and brave. If it weren't for the two adults in the city, I'm afraid we are still looking at the river on the south bank of the west cliff and sighing. Come on, I suggested that we have a drink together with Lord Song and General Qiu." Yang Yiqing raised his glass and proposed.

Everyone got up and toasted one after another. Song Nan and Qiu Yu drank up with a smile on their faces. Qiu Yu's happy face shined, but did not forget to say a few polite words: "It's all the Marquis of Song's plan. The subordinates are just acting under the orders of the marquis. The credit goes to the marquis."

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "You're welcome. How can Lord Song rob you of your credit? By the way, Zhu Wei sealed your general. Didn't you lose your position as general? The court may not be able to give you a general this time.

The crowd laughed, and Qiu Yu blushed and said, "Who cares about the general of old thieves? Have you ever seen a general with only 500 people under him?"

Everyone laughed again, and Song Nan laughed and said, "General Qiu, the general can't be sealed, but Lord Yang and I will work together to ensure that you are the chief soldier of Ningxia after returning to Beijing. I just hope you will guard the border of this important town and serve the court."

Qiu Yue was overjoyed. He left his seat and knelt down and wanted to kowtow. Song Nan quickly asked Jiang Bin to pull him up. Qiu Yue was very excited. Song Nan said that this matter would be done. He finally made a right choice for the rest of his life. Although at the beginning of Song Nan met his inn, he decided to pretend to rely on Zhu. When he accelerated Zhu Yu's rebellion, he hesitated and feared, but now it seems that all of this is worth it and the rewards will be extremely rich.

"Speaking of credit, there is actually another person who is more credited than us. She should have been invited to the banquet tonight, but it was inconvenient due to her status." Song Nan smiled.

Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "Do I know who it is? Is it the Princess Ping'an of Qingwang Mansion?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes, in a sense, she saved my life. Although I was identified by Zhu Xiaoqi in the royal palace, before that, without her mediation, I would have been pulled out by the royal palace guards; as long as I met Zhu Yuqi would have no scruples. Zhuzi failed to kill with a knife, and it was also her and the maidservant beside him who helped me kill Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi. Otherwise, I might not be able to survive on the night of Shangyuan night.

Everyone recalled the situation that night and sweated. Zhu Yuqi was a little indecisive. If he didn't have to borrow a knife to kill people, Lord Song would have been worried about his life in the royal palace. If Lord Song was killed, he would not know what the situation was now.

"Lord Song, there is a saying that I must remind you that this rebellion against the king, and I am afraid that the palace of Qing will not be able to escape. Although this princess of peace helped you, after returning to Beijing, I hope that you will not exonerate the palace of Qing in the court, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles claimed by the villain." Zhang Yong said slowly.

Song Nan asked in a stunned question, "What's the matter with Zhu Xiaoqi's rebellion in the Qing Palace?" Will the Qingwang Mansion also be implicated?

Zhang Yong nodded and said, "Of course he will be implicated. King Jing may be implicated. These things must not be excused. Otherwise, it will set you on fire.

Song Nan said anxiously, "Is there any reason?"

Yang Yiqing said, "What Eunuch Zhang said is that there are many internal affairs involved in the royal family, and it is difficult to predict what the emperor thinks in his mind. Besides, Lord Song, don't forget that Zhu Wei's application to increase the number of soldiers was in the name of the Qingwang Mansion, and he also launched a rebellion in Ningxia Town. Before that, many things were also Under the banner of Qingwang Mansion, how can all the people in Qingwang Mansion escape from the system?

Song Nan picked up the glass in front of him and drank it without saying anything. He frowned and thought about the countermeasures. He understood the meaning of Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing. If the royal vassal king made trouble, Zhengde would definitely kill chickens and punish all the blood of King Qing. When it comes to coveting the orthodox throne, anyone who says good words to them may suffer unpredictable. As a result, these Song Nan are very clear, but how can Song Nan watch Princess Ping's implicated?

"Lord Song, don't worry first. The memorial can mention the profound righteousness of the princess of King Qing's Mansion to help the rebellion. I don't think the emperor will give any heavy punishment. Maybe things will not be so bad. Just act when you return to Beijing. If you really don't succeed, you will do your best, but adults must not set yourself on fire. Zhang Yongdao.

Song Nan slowly shook his head and said, "You know that I am a man. If there is kindness, I will repay, and if there is revenge, I will not sit idly by. If I can't do this, how can I convince people in the future?"

Everyone silently, Qiu Zhang Yong and others, who don't know much about Song Nan, don't understand why Song Nan is so persistently risking for a depressed princess. They can't help but have some associations in their hearts. Is there any special relationship between Song Nan and the princess?

Although Princess Ping'an is outstanding in appearance, she is also single now, but after all, she is a married widow. As Lord Song, there are many beautiful women in the world. Taking a concubine to fill the house is just a matter. Why should she take the risk not to provoke this princess? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?

However, Jiang Binhou Dabiao Wang Yong and others, who know Song Nan well, know that Lord Song is a man of great promise and righteousness. Since Princess Ping'an is kind to Lord Song, Lord Song will not abandon him. If Lord Song is not such a person, how could his group of people die with him and willing to follow him to die?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Song Nan raised his glass and laughed and said, "Come on, drink. Today is a celebration banquet. Let's talk about other things later. Today, we are drunk today, and tomorrow we will be worried about tomorrow. This wine is a good wine. There are only three jars of cordyceps wine treasured in the royal palace, all of which have been moved here by me."

Everyone cleaned up their minds, drank happily, and drank until the second watch, and then their fun dissipated.

Although Song Nan drank a lot, he did not sleep after the banquet was over. There was a big thing in his heart, which could not be explained because there were many people at the banquet. After the banquet was over, Song Nan left Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong and invited them to follow him to the warm pavilion of the mind hall.

After sitting down, Song Nan arched his hand and said to the two, "Your Excellency, there is one thing I must say to you, but this matter is a major matter. The special intention to leave you two is to discuss how to deal with it."

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong saw what Song Nan said solemnly and cheered up, but when Song Nan stretched out his hand and took out a brocade box from the table and opened it in front of them, they saw a stack of paper inside. Song Nan took out these papers and put them in front of them and said, "This is what was found in the dark room of Zhu Yuqi's study. These papers are all The letters of allegiance written by the officials who were willing to follow the rebellion of the anti-king have pressed their own fingerprints; these are all the hard evidence that there is a department to interrogate and sentence after returning to Beijing.

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong looked through these allegiance books respectively. Yang Yiqing said, "With these, officials who have not appeared this time can't deny it. Is there anything strange in them?"

Song Nan said, "If you take a closer look, some of them are not officials in Ningxia Town, but officials in the imperial court. Although the official position is not big, it makes me very uneasy."

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong looked carefully one by one, and Zhang Yong suddenly shouted, "Isn't this Lu Jianqian the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War? And this Ma Chengye, if I remember correctly, he should be the general secretary of the governor's office of the five armies; oh, why is he also here?

Yang Yiqing looked at it and was also shocked: "Zhang Cai, the left servant of the official department! Why does this one have anything to do with the King of Rebellion?

Zhang Yong frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, Jiao Fang, a university scholar, is a minister in the official department. Zhang Cai was recommended by Liu Gonggong to the official department. Why did he get together with Zhu Yuqi? This is unlikely, isn't it?"

Zhang Yong stopped in horrified, looked at Song Nan and Yang Yiqing with wide eyes, and shook his head and said, "No, never."

Song Nan did not make a sound, reached out and lifted it at the bottom of the brocade box and took out a thin wooden board. A thin account book under the wooden board appeared in front of everyone. Song Nan took out the account book and threw it in front of Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong and said, "Two people will look at this book again."

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yongtou met and looked at the account book carefully one by one. Under the candlelight, their faces changed dramatically, and sweat slowly oozed out.

"Do you understand? I wondered where the hundreds of thousands of stone grain hoarded in the royal palace, as well as a large number of armor, bows, swords and some fire knives came from. As soon as this account book appeared, I understood everything. Originally from four or five years ago, someone secretly sold the imperial army supplies to Zhu Yu in the warehouse of the governor's office of the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War, that is to say, they have long been inserted by Zhu Yu. Judging from these accounts of money and silver exchanges, Zhu Wei has attracted many officials and paved the way for them to find good positions. Zhang Cai received 10,000 taels of silver. Although it was not indicated what he had done, he must have promoted officials for Zhu Yu.

Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing couldn't speak and were speechless in surprise.

"There is also the most important record. I don't know if you two have seen it." Song Nan reached out and took the book to quickly turn over the last dozen pages, pointed to a record and said, "Look."

Yang Yiqing slowly read: "Zhengde entered Beijing in August of the second year and made 20,000 yuan in silver. It's done."

Zhang Yong said, "It doesn't say where it's spent?"

Song Nan sneered and said, "He didn't say it. I know it clearly, because I met Zhu Xiaoqi and his party in Xiangshan last August, and I know who he went to see and what he did."

Yang Yiqing said slowly, "Liu Jin."

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's him. It was at that time that he increased the number of troops for the Qing Palace. He sent Liu Jin 20,000 taels of silver. Isn't this account right?"

There was silence in the room, and the sound of the heartbeat seemed to be audible.
