Chapter 510 Mr. Lu, well done

The capital has been the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. If you include the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it is almost the absolute political center in the second half of Chinese history. As an ancient capital that has existed for hundreds of years, it has gone through countless wars.

From the Ming Dynasty war god Zhu Qi's civil fortress change, Yu Qian led his army to defend the capital.

Then to the Jisi Revolution in the second year of Chongzhen, this place has experienced too many wars.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and looked at the scarred city walls of the capital, and he couldn't help but be generous in his heart. He wondered how many years this city could hold on and how many winds and rains it could shield the Ming Dynasty from.

Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the city wall. At this time, hundreds of Jinyiwei families found the eunuch who was delivering the order. He pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and then at the big yoke in his hand. The meaning was obvious. They have all arrived in the capital. Why don't you put the yoke on this man?

Yes, I can't do business when I go back.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch who delivered the order nodded and came to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Master Lu, I want to discuss something with you."

How could a person like Lu Xiangsheng not understand what they meant? He stretched out his hands and pulled out the shackles.

Upon seeing this, the Jinyi guards nodded in unison: "Master Lu is offended."

After being shackled, Lu Xiangsheng was put into the prison car again and escorted by the Jin Yiwei. The group arrived outside the Xizhi Gate of BJ and saw the prison car. The city guards came forward. The Jin Yiwei showed their documents and followed a group of people into the city gate. This time

The city was surrounded by ordinary people.

The common people like to watch the excitement too much, especially when these ministers are dismissed. These old bastards usually dominate and ride on the heads of the common people, so when the common people have the opportunity to see them dismissed, they are very excited.

Prepare rotten eggs and rotten vegetables one by one.

They were ready to vent their anger. They hated Ming officials.

At this time, some people asked each other: "Hey, who is this? What crime has he committed?"

Yes, you need to figure this out, otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy the scolding.

After hearing this, all the people were curious and discussed, and for a long time someone said: "I don't know, this is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda. His sin is very serious. Originally, the slaves went south, and they were unstoppable. When they were in Shandong, they were captured.

He stopped him, and Jiannu was angry, so he captured a hundred thousand of our people and took them back to Liaodong as slaves."

"This Mr. Lu was so angry that he led his troops to pursue him. His Majesty's two imperial edicts did not allow him to pursue. However, he refused to comply with the edicts and started fighting with Jiannu in Baoding, Hebei. It is said that he took back 40,000 yuan.

His Majesty was furious and ordered the Jinyi Guards to escort this man back to the capital. It is said that he will be tried by the Three Law Divisions, and he will inevitably have to go to Caishikou in the future."

After understanding the cause and effect, those ordinary people with rotten eggs and rotten vegetables in their hands can't do anything anymore. People's hearts are full of flesh. Can they not know who is a good person and who is a bad person?

They hate being an official, but how can they kill such a good official who serves the country and the people?

Everyone just watched Lu Xiangsheng being pulled by the prison car towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. At this time, no one knew who shouted: "Master Lu, good job."

This voice suddenly shocked the whole street, and the next moment the whole street was boiling. As the news spread, everyone shouted: "Master Lu, good job."

"Well done, Mr. Lu."

Lu Xiangsheng was originally very calm in the prison car, or it could be said that his heart was as calm as water, and his heart was as sad as death.

But I heard a voice from the people outside: Mr. Lu, you are doing well.

Unconsciously, Lu Xiangsheng's soul was summoned from hell to the world. Lu Xiangsheng opened his eyes at this time and looked at the vivid faces around him in confusion. Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were moist. He did not do anything wrong. The people are innocent and they are the cutest.

people!

Seeing the people cheering one after another, in a restaurant, a young man wearing a blue Confucian shirt took a sip of wine. In front of him was a young man. The young man looked at the young man in Confucian shirt and said: "Deming, you came to the capital for this reason.

Fan the common people and applaud Lu Xiangsheng?"

The young man in blue scholar's shirt took a sip of wine and said, "He, Lu Xiangsheng, can't take this seriously, okay?"

The young man said: "It's true, but using our Secret Service for this matter is overkill, isn't it?"

The young man in blue Confucian shirt said: "I came here this time to take Lu Xiangsheng back to Lantian on the order of the county magistrate."

"He wants to go?"

"I can't help him."

The young man in blue Confucian shirt took another sip of wine and said, "By the way, have the relations with the Criminal Department been sorted out?"

The young man smiled and said: "Don't worry, those guys have already reached the point where they will do anything for money."

"That's good. If this is done well, the county magistrate will remember you as a secret spy in the capital."

After hearing this, the young man said: "It doesn't matter whether you have merit or not. If the county magistrate can give us an inscription for the Secret Service of the Capital, we will be satisfied."

"What words do you want for the inscription?"

"Lantian No. 1 Intelligence Office, Capital Department."

"Hahaha, you guys have such a big appetite. If the county official really inscribed this word, he would piss off the intelligence departments of other provinces. If nothing else, that living bandit in Cangshan would definitely be the first to be unconvinced.

Hahaha……"

After hearing this, the young man said: "I just want to make him angry. This old boy just disobeys me. You must know that when I graduated, I was the first in age and he was the second. How can there be no second place these days?"

It’s outrageous to disobey the boss.”

"Yes, yes, you work hard. If you do it well, this word is not unquestionable."

The young man in blue Confucian shirt said with a smile, then shook the wine bottle in his hand and said: "Okay, drink it up, let's talk next time."

After saying that the young man in the blue scholar's shirt left, the head of the Capital Intelligence Department snorted: "This time I have to crush you all the way up Cangshan Mountain."

"Alert, watch out for mobs."

Looking at the people who were already boiling over, the Jinyi guards each held Xiuchun knives in their hands, with livid faces and sharp eyes. They had already arrived in the capital, and they didn't want anything to go wrong, especially they couldn't let these people rush up and smash the prison car.

If something like this happened, they would probably have to move their heads, let alone wearing the Feiyu suit.

Fortunately, despite the excitement, the people were very restrained and no one risked their lives. The prison car arrived at the Criminal Department smoothly. The people from the Criminal Department took over the prisoners, and Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned in the Prison of the Criminal Department.

The next day, the three judicial departments held a joint hearing, and Lu Xiangsheng was brought to court. Lu Xiangsheng was very cooperative and had nothing to quibble with. The criminal process was clear. He disobeyed the order and used weapons without permission, which led to the annihilation of the entire Tianxiong army. His crime was so serious that he should be beheaded in public.

, to serve as a warning to others.”

Among the officials who were interrogated by the Three Law Departments were people from Zhou Yanru, people from Yang Sichang, and people from Hong Chengchou. These few people had a tacit understanding and recorded the facts truthfully. No one was playing tricks, such as charging Lu Xiangsheng with deliberate rebellion.

Of course, it’s not that no one thinks so. For example, Zhou Yanru’s subordinate Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment wanted to take credit so much that he drafted Lu Xiangsheng’s charges before trial.

Corruption and bribery, conspiracy to commit rebellion, whatever the crime was, what kind of crime he was charged with, according to his idea, when he got to the Ministry of Punishment, what crime Lu Xiangsheng was charged with, wasn't it just a matter of his words?

So a lot of accusations were made, but luckily this guy still had some brains and showed it to Zhou Yanru before submitting the accusations. After reading it, Zhou Yanru got very angry and pointed at Zuo Shilang and scolded him.

"What about Lu Xiangsheng's corruption and bribery? Are you a pig? You don't know what's going on in Lu Xiangsheng's family, or the emperor doesn't know, or the whole world doesn't know. Can you choose something more reliable for Luo Zhi's crime?"

"There is also this conspiracy to rebel. Have you ever seen someone who wanted to rebel but did not know how to protect himself, but risked his life to fight against the slaves? Tell me, do you believe this crime you made up yourself? You don't believe it yourself.

, you show it to the emperor, do you think the emperor is stupid? Will he believe it?"

Zhou Yanru criticized him all over, and he didn't do things carelessly. Zhou Yanru thought for a while and only sketched two charges on the paper and added one sentence.

These two charges are disobeying orders and using weapons without authorization. There is no need to investigate these two charges. It is obvious that it is a lice on the bald head. Lu Xiangsheng cannot deny it. And the last one added cannot even be regarded as a crime, because it is just a crime.

In a word, Lu Xiangsheng's Ministry, the source of firearms!

This sentence is heart-breaking. As long as anyone is willing to check the origin of the firearms used by Lu Xiangsheng's tribe, they can't lie at all. The entire Ming Dynasty can produce such sophisticated firearms. Except for Lantian, you can't find another force. Therefore, even if Lu Xiangsheng

It is impossible to deny it.

In the end, no matter how we investigated, the result was that the firearm must have come from Lam Tin.

This is great. As long as he says this, Lu Xiangsheng will be dead. Who is Chongzhen most afraid of now? That's right, it's Lan Tian.

The rogue bandits have died down, and it seems that Jiannu has no intention of capturing BJ City in one fell swoop. His throne is still very stable. The only unsettling factor now is Lantian.

Lantian was a poisonous dragon that made Chongzhen think about tea instead of food. Whenever he thought of Lantian, Chongzhen felt a chill down his spine. However, Lantian was very insidious. He hid in the northwest border and did not take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Although Chongzhen was extremely afraid of Lan Tian, ​​he could not make up his mind to eradicate Lan Tian in this complicated environment. Instead, he chose the policy of appeasement, working with Lan Tian and enjoying some of the benefits of Lan Tian's tax burden.

However, although Chongzhen could not touch Lan Tian, ​​he still hated Lan Tian in his heart, and what he was most afraid of was the entanglement between Ming officials and Lan Tian, ​​especially the generals in charge of the Ming army. They must draw a clear line with Lan Tian, ​​otherwise they would be taken.

The way to death.

The relationship between Lu Xiangsheng and Lan Tian has always been sticky, and Chongzhen was not happy about it. What would he think if he knew that even the firearms used by Lu Xiangsheng were supported by Lan Tian?

You explained that you have nothing to do with Lan Tian? Who believes you?

If you have no relationship with Lantian, why should Lantian support you with firearms? Lantian is so selfless and dedicated without any ideas? No way, right?

No matter how Lu Xiangsheng explained it at that time, the result would be that the more he explained, the more unclear his explanation would be, and the more he explained, the more doubtful Emperor Chongzhen would be.

In the end, how could Lu Xiangsheng not die?

I have to say that Jiang is still hotter. In terms of influence, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice is a scumbag. Compared with Zhou Yanru, who is wily and scheming, they are scumbags.

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment said that he had learned the lesson, and took the direction of the criminal inquiry that had been pointed out by Zhou Yanru, and together with Yang Sichang's people and Hong Chengchou's people interrogated Lu Xiangsheng.

The inquiry was very friendly at the beginning. The three adults expressed sympathy for Lu Xiangsheng and asked some details about Lu Xiangsheng's unauthorized mobilization of troops and his disobedience.

Lu Xiangsheng also responded cooperatively. Just when he thought the interrogation was about to end, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment seemed to ask inadvertently.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, I see that the battle loss ratio between the Tianxiong Army and Jiannu has reached an astonishing two to one. This is really gratifying. I didn't expect that our Ming army has such combat effectiveness, but I don't understand.

People say that the firearms we use in battle seem to be provided by Lantian, is this true?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. Lu Xiangsheng also frowned slightly, looked at the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment and said, "What does this have to do with my crime?"

After hearing this, the Minister of Justice Zuo laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious. I wonder if Mr. Lu can shed some light on it?"
