Volume 1: Rectifying the Chao Gang Chapter 37 Counting Cases and Investigating

When Xu Guan heard this miserable cry on the street, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What's the sound?"

Commander-in-Chief Li Gao listened carefully, and sure enough, a woman was crying miserably, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Taitai, I guess they are having a funeral. Let's go back home." Seeing this, the other generals began to admonish.

Xu Guan immediately disagreed and continued to move forward, but the miserable cry always lingered in his ears.

At this moment, a man in mourning clothes suddenly rushed out and stopped in front of Xu Guan. Everyone was shocked. One of the generals shouted anxiously: "Assassins, there are assassins, please protect me!"

Many soldiers rushed forward in an instant to block Xu Guan. The man knelt on the ground with a bang and cried: "There are grievances in this villain's family. Please make the decision for us!"

Commander-in-Chief Li Gao instantly understood who this man was, and immediately rushed in front of Xu Guan and shouted: "What are you still doing? Pull this unruly man down quickly. When Governor Xu takes office today, don't spoil your interest!"

"

"Slow down." Xu Guan realized that something was wrong and walked forward slowly. Seeing this, Li Gao hurriedly stopped Xu Guan and said, "Taitai is just a cunning person blocking the road. There is nothing interesting to see."

"Get out of the way!" Xu Guan pushed Li Gao away and walked in front of the man in mourning clothes and asked:

"Say what you just said again!"

The man cried: "The villain has a grievance, please make the decision for me!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals in Liaodong were shocked. They all knew what this grievance was. They wanted to jointly hide the matter and negotiate with the family in private to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Xu Guan knew about it, and he was the first to take office.

one day.

Xu Guan was silent for a moment and said: "What grievance do you have? I just heard a woman crying. What does it have to do with you?"

The man originally thought that all officials in the world were the same, but when he saw that Xu Guan was not showing off as an official at all, and got out of the car to talk to many people in person, he boldly stepped forward to stop Xu Guan's official car and tell his grievances.

"Sir, my little sister was insulted and killed by the dog officer Tong Yu. The one who just cried was my old mother. Since the death of my little sister, my mother has been crying every day, and her eyes have been broken from crying!"

When Xu Guan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Is this true? Then why didn't you report the case to the local government?"

The man looked mournful and said: "Officials colluded, and officials protected each other. The villain reported the case before, but not only did he hear nothing from him, but when he asked again afterwards, he was beaten up by the government and kicked out!"

At this time, more and more people were watching, some were people watching the fun, some really felt pity for the family, and some had witnessed what happened and said good things for them.

Xu Guan turned around and asked Li Gao with a cold face: "Is what he said the truth? Is this Tong Yu from Liaodong?"

Li Gao knew the ins and outs of this matter, but he didn't want to get into trouble. Usually this Tong Yu was arrogant and domineering without giving himself any face. At this time, it would be unreasonable for him to wipe his ass.

Li Gao pretended not to know about this matter, turned his head and asked the general next to him: "Do you know about this matter?"

The general wanted to watch the fun, but when he saw the cauldron suddenly thrown towards him, he suddenly looked panicked: "The general doesn't... don't know."

Li Gaohan smiled and said: "Taitai, none of the generals know about this. That Tong Yu is indeed my Liaodong General!"

The kneeling man saw that the Liaodong generals were pretending not to know and staying out of the matter, and roared: "A bunch of dog officials! Have dogs eaten your conscience? You are still protecting that dog thief Tong Yu!"

Xu Guan didn't want to expand the matter. The incident involving Li Chao's envoys had already shocked the entire Liao Dynasty. He then said in a cold voice: "There is no need for the reception banquet today. You can follow me back to your hometown and tell the general about your grievances.

In addition, ask General Tong Yu to report to my residence!"

Seeing that Xu Guan was angry, Li Gao sighed and said to himself: "Tong Yu, Tong Yu, if you insist on something happening at this critical moment, you will be doomed this time!"



At the home of General Tong Yu, he had just finished making love on the bed. He held a woman in his arms and said comfortably, "I'm sure about the house in the west of the city you told me about!"

After hearing this, the woman immediately happily leaned on Tong Yu and said with a smile: "Thank you, little lady!"

At this time, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then someone outside the house said anxiously: "General, it's bad, something big has happened!"

Tong Yu frowned, pushed the woman in his arms away, put on his pants and clothes, and shouted to the person outside the house: "Go to the side hall."

"General, Zhao Zhu and her brother just stopped Xu Guan's car and told Xu Guan that you killed his sister. Xu Guan also brought Zhao Peng back to his house. I am afraid that Xu Guan will investigate this matter thoroughly.

It's over." In the side hall, the man who had just scolded Xu Guan on the street was now reporting to Tong Yu what he had heard and seen.

Tong Yu slammed the table and stood up and said: "This mud-legged guy should have been removed from the beginning. You should find a few people to wait near his house. When he returns from Xu Guan's mansion, find an opportunity for me..." Tong Yu finished.

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The man nodded with understanding and said, "General, don't worry, we will definitely eradicate him this time."

Xu Guan took Zhao Peng back to his house. Before he could settle down with his family, he took him directly to the west room for questioning.

"Zhao Peng, do you think you have ever witnessed Tong Yu insulting your sister and killing her?"

Zhao Peng nodded and said, "I witnessed my sister being forcibly taken back to my house by Tong Yu. When I sent my sister back three days later, she was already... dead." At this point, Zhao Peng began to swallow more.

"Yes, the villain still has physical evidence, which was given to me by Tong Yu." After speaking, Zhang Peng took out a small cloth bag from his arms. When Xu Guan opened it, he saw two ingots of silver inside.

"How can you be sure that this money was given to you by Tong Yu?"

"When Tong Yu gave the villain money, he asked him to bury his sister properly. The villain didn't want the money from that cunning person, but he knew that he was a jackal who could do anything, so he accepted his money and wanted to

In the future, I will report to the officials and use it. But I didn’t find that all the dog officials here are afraid of Tong Yu, and no one is willing to make the decision for the villain!"

Xu Guan thought for a while and said: "I will send someone to go home with you. You can take all your relatives at my house temporarily. When I find out the truth of the matter, I will definitely restore your innocence!"

After Zhang Peng heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude. Xu Guan quickly helped Zhang Peng up and said, "It's because of you people that we are the officials. You don't have to be so polite."

After Zhang Peng left, Xu Guan hurriedly had dinner and went straight to the home of the commander-in-chief Li Gao.

He knew that the generals in Liaodong were not convinced by him, and Tong Yu was a typical example. He had a vague feeling that Tong Yu had more than one murder.

Xu Guan was about to attack Tong Yu. This move was called "kill one to scare a hundred", and it could also have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. To intimidate the generals, he first established his prestige. Before taking action, he wanted to talk to the chief military officer Li Gao.

It can be regarded as throwing stones to ask for directions. The frontier fortress is no different from other places. If it is not done well, it will cause the sergeants to mutiny. If there is the support of the highest military officer Li Gao, the situation will be easy to control.

Li Gao learned that Xu Guan was coming in person and hurried out to greet him, "Brother Xu has just arrived in Liaodong. He has been tired of traveling and traveling all the way, and he came to my house so late. But do you have something to say?"

Li Gao knew that nothing good could happen to Xu Guanding so late. The meaning of his words was very clear. It was because you, Xu Guan, had been on a bumpy road for so long and didn't take a good rest, so you came to disturb me so late.

Xu Guan heard the meaning of Li Gao's words and said with a smile: "This matter is related to the future livelihood of Liaodong. Xu has to bother Brother Li all night long."

Seeing Xu Guan's shamelessness, Li Gao couldn't refuse directly, so he had to invite Xu Guan into the mansion.

"Before Xu entered the Liao Dynasty, he had often heard that General Tong Yu had done many illegal things. I wonder if the general had heard about it?"

Xu Guan didn't lie, and stated his purpose of coming straightforwardly. Of course, he had never heard about General Tong Yu. This trick was just to deceive Li Gao.

Li Gao was not a fool. He thought to himself: "You Xu Guan asked me today who Tong Yu is, and now you tell me that you have heard that Tong Yu has done many illegal things. Do you think I have a bad memory?"

But Li Gao thought for a moment: "Xu Guan already knew why Zhao Peng blocked the road today, so why did he have to wipe Tong Yu's ass again, so he deliberately fell into the trap and said slightly embarrassed:

"Master Xu doesn't know something. The surname Tong is a common surname in Liaodong. His ancestors were Jurchens and were later Hanized. They have deep roots in the local area. Moreover, the surname Tong has been in the army for generations, and there are people from them at all levels in the army.

It is extremely difficult to deal with because of its intricate connections and huge power."

When Li Gao saw that Xu Guan was silent, he paused and said, "The former governor, Mr. Liu, was driven away by General Tong Yu."

Xu Guan said coldly: "If the border is uneasy, the court will be uneasy. If Tong Yu is allowed to do whatever he wants, how will the general face the emperor's order?"

Xu Guan showed no mercy to Li Gao by asking this question. Li Gao was speechless for a moment. Before he took office, the emperor's order was still vivid in his mind: "You are now ordered to bear the seal of the general before conquering the captives, and to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army to guard Liaodong.

Defend the city firmly, train the troops and horses, and if there are bandits and bandits, they will kill them at the same time. The deputy commander-in-chief and other generals will guard according to their respective places, and all the officers and troops under their command will obey the rules."

Now that Tong Yu has done so many illegal things, he has been pretending to turn a deaf ear. Isn't this a dereliction of duty as his commander-in-chief? If Xu Guan planned to go to the emperor to read his book, he would probably be buried with Tong Yu. Li

Gao couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, and immediately asked eagerly:

"Brother Xu, save me. I know I was wrong! If you have any errands, please feel free to tell me. I will definitely listen to you."

Xu Guan was overjoyed. This was the result he wanted, and said, "These are not the only illegal things Tong Yu has done, right? In order to get familiar with the military affairs of Liaodong as soon as possible, I want to find out what good things Tong Yu has done. I will go out to Liao to inspect the border in the near future.

Come on, during this period, you can stabilize Tong Yu and let him be free for a few more days, and you must also protect Zhao Peng's family. When I return to Liao, it will be the time to get rid of Tong Yu!"
