Chapter 119: Taking down Mako

This Marco is actually really unfair, but who said he is as timid as a mouse! For the sake of Liaodong's security, he has to be abandoned. 【】If he knows about Marco underground, he can only blame himself for not fulfilling the most basic responsibilities of a soldier!

As for those pure gold swords, letters that interact with the Tartars, and the envoy of Huang Taiji, they are all fake. Anyway, with the energy of the West Factory, there is still something that cannot be done that cannot be done. Only that envoy is a little difficult to deal with. If it is a real Tartar, it is a bit difficult to tell him about Ma Ke's surrender to Huang Taiji. However, since Tang Yanyan is the saint of the White Lotus Sect and is proficient in the confusing technique, this problem is not a problem. Zhang Linqi selected a real Tartar leader who was escorted to the capital, and then asked Tang Yanyan to perform confusing technique on him. So, the ironclad evidence that Ma Ke colluded with Huang Taiji and rebelled out of the Ming Dynasty was released in a very warm manner...

And when others come, this Tartar is not even afraid of death, so why would he frame Ma Ke? If he really frames him, he should frame Zhang Linqi, the great enemy of the Qing Dynasty!

Of course, if Zhang Linqi's plan was concealed from everyone, it would be even more true. Hong Chengchou remained awake. Although Hong Chengchou has been watching the wall since Zhang Linqi suddenly attacked, who is Hong Chengchou? He is a famous minister and an expert in power and scheming. It is no exaggeration to say that at his age, even his eyelashes are empty!

Although Zhang Linqi's evidence was released all the same, and each one was refuted, Hong Chengchou always felt something was tricky in this. It was true that Ma Ke was arrogant and unlawful and as timid as a mouse. But if he colluded with slave thieves and sold himself to wild boar skin, it seemed that this was necessary. Ma Ke was already the general in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, what official could he be granted? It doesn't make sense!

However, as Zhang Linqi pressed step by step, he put the rope around Ma Ke's neck, and Ma Ke was like a beast falling into a trap, slid into the abyss step by step. Hong Chengchou did not say a word, even pretended to be confused, and his heart was still secretly happy. He had long been accustomed to this Ma Ke, he was domineering and timid. If there was anything wrong in Liaodong, it would definitely have nothing to do with him. Hong Chengchou only hated himself for not having Shangfang's sword, and was afraid of causing mutiny and could not eliminate traitors with his own hands! Since Zhang Linqi suddenly said that Ma Ke was a spy and wanted to eliminate traitors for the country, he was cleaning up the thorns for him, so why should he stop it!

The officials at the scene, except Hong Chengchou, believed the generals. The soldiers were scared and secretly glad that they were not violating the tiger beards of the imperial envoy that day, nor did they secretly communicate with the Tartars. Otherwise, they would have been afraid that they would not have had any good results today...

"Okay, Ma Ke, now that people and physical evidence are there, what else do you have to say?" Zhang Linqi shouted loudly. Poor Ma Ke, two of his front teeth were knocked off by the tiger minister just now, and his mouth was covered in blood. How could he defend himself? Although there were more than a dozen people present, none of them pleaded for him. So, the dignified Shanhaiguan General was tragic.

Zhang Linqi just stammered and speechless, and did not give him too many opportunities. He shouted: "Take the traitor Ma Ke, strip off his official robe and put it on the death row, and then start a lawsuit and ask for it three days later!"

"Hey, I said, brother, why have to wait until three days later? As I said, I could just kill him with one knife now, why keep it!"

Minister Tiger was still confused and said loudly.

"Oh, old brother, this is inappropriate"

At this time, Zhang Linqi started to behave "As the saying goes, the state has its own laws and family rules. Although Ma Ke's evidence is conclusive, it is the general of a town and it is of great importance. We should leave him the opportunity to defend himself. In these three days, if anyone wants to seek justice for Ma Ke, it will be not far away. If there is not a single one at that time, it will be even more important to kill him or not! This will also convince people!"

"Gao, really high," Minister Hu said to Zhang Linqi with a thumbs up, "Brother, you are considerate! It's not difficult to kill someone, but the hardest thing is to make others convinced! Since that's the case, let this dog live a few more days!" Minister Hu glared at Ma Ke fiercely and kicked him by the way!

Soon, Ma Ke was stripped of his official robe, his hair was broken, and he was taken down by two Western Factory men who were like wolves and tigers. As for the few personal soldiers Ma Ke brought with him, they had been restrained and could not play any role! The banquet hall started to laugh and laugh again, as if the incident had never happened before...

Of course, with Ma Ke's capture, an hour later, a notice signed by Zhang Linqi and Hong Chengchou was sent to Shanhaiguan by a special person, and those horrifying evidence of crime were sent together. Of course, there were also a large group of Xichang Actors under Fang Wei. If anyone did not believe it or was dissatisfied with this decision, then Wuqian Town and Xichang Actors would not mind talking to him...

However, the facts soon proved that although Ma Ke was the general of Shanhaiguan, when the news of his being imprisoned was spread in Shanhaiguan, not only did no one seek justice for him, but he secretly celebrated a lot. The reason was that although Ma Ke was not good at fighting, he had a good job in making money. As the general of Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke naturally had his ideas on the border troops under his command. Even the border troops under his command had not received food and salary for several months. In the past, after Ma Ke took the money into his pocket, he always took the responsibility to the court. Oh, what can he do if the court did not send money? So these border troops kept in the dark all vented their anger on the court, and they had no disgust for Ma Ke, but now, with the intervention of Wuqian Town, this lie is self-defeating.

Just imagine, if you know that your food and salary have been embezzled by this Marco, who would sympathize with him? So, after the town declared Marco's crime, no one responded except for several of Marco's families to seek justice.

However, although the Ma family is considered a big family in Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke is the pillar of this big family. Now the pillars are falling, and the rest are all small fish and shrimps, which cannot cause trouble. So things were resolved smoothly, but the position of General General of Shanhaiguan that was vacant was not easy to arrange. After all, it is also a first-rank official position, and it is directly facing the military front of the Manchus. It is of great importance! Therefore, before the imperial court is appointed, Hong Chengchou will be taken from afar. After the imperial court is appointed, he will delegate power. Of course, if Zhang Linqi arranges a confidant in the town to take this position, relying on his relationship with Chongzhen, he will be very confident of success.

However, Zhang Linqi did not do this. First, he wanted to leave himself clear and took down Ma Ke only for business, without any self-interest. Second, if he really arranged his confidants in such an important position, even if Chongzhen still trusted him, he would be indispensable in every dynasty and every generation.

As long as there are a few villains spreading rumors, the public opinion situation will be detrimental to him. Third, even if it is not arranging his confidants, due to the relationship between Zhang Linqi and Chongzhen, Chongzhen still likes to listen to Zhang Linqi's suggestions in the appointment of this position. According to Zhang Linqi's familiarity with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Linqi knows all the right things to reuse and which generals cannot be reused. In this way, it can eliminate the general of the Ma Ke and let him sit on it.

Two days later, Fang Wei came back and reported his life. When Zhang Linqi heard that Ma Ke's crime was announced in Shanhaiguan, the border army not only did not cause trouble, but set off firecrackers to celebrate. Zhang Linqi just smiled slightly and felt a little emotional. He was really helpful, but he was helpless, but he was helpless! Ma Ke, the escaped general, was finally eliminated openly, and the beginning and end were clean. When Yuan Chonghuan used Shangfang Sword to kill Mao Long, the result was that Shang Kexi and others defected to the Qing Dynasty. Now he was also killing a general in a clean and beautiful way. Compared with the two, the verdict was immediately verified!

After Ma Ke's affairs were over, Zhang Linqi's trip to Liaodong was basically over. Anyway, the people who should be saved have been saved, and the people who should be killed have been killed. In this way, the Tartar forces were hit and our strength was strengthened. As one rises and the other declines, the Liaodong defense line should be worried...

Three days later, after eating the farewell banquet set up by Hong Chengchou, Zhang Linqi personally led the army, together with the two daughters of Tang Yanyan who had stayed in Jinzhou, and escorted a group of captives of Zhenghong Banners, and officially embarked on the journey back to the capital. After all, he had been out for more than a month. In addition, he received a letter from Fang Jianping and Zhang Qingci a few days ago. Although there was not much content, his longing was vividly revealed on the paper, making Zhang Linqi return home like an arrow.

It’s just a pity that Liaodong is far away from the capital, so he must pass through Shandong first and then walk step by step, which makes Zhang Linqi helpless. He really missed him so much that he quietly took out the letter at night and read it several times over and over again to comfort his longing...
