When he arrived in front of the camp, Dakui showed his badge, and the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp did not dare to stop him. The Ming Dynasty had a legal system, but civil servants were needed in military camps.
The general dismounted from the sedan chair. After Dakui found out where the Army and Horses Division Yamen was, he, Yang Xiaohu and Tian Feng dismounted in front of the camp and entered the camp on foot via the Army and Horses Division Yamen.
The City Defense Army and Horses Yamen covers a very large area. There is a stone lion on the left and right of the Yamen entrance. The carvings are lifelike and powerful. There are five stone steps under the red lacquer gate, which means that this is orthodox and obeys the king's order. (In ancient times, there was a number of ninety-five.
, which means royal power. The king accounts for nine, and the ministers account for five.) In front of the gate, there were five soldiers standing on the left and right with waist knives. When Dakui and the other three arrived in front of the gate, they went straight up the steps.
The captain leading the troops stepped forward and stopped Qu Liu: "What are you doing?" Dakui showed his waistband again and said in an official tone: "I, Zhang Dakui, the political envoy to Jiangnan, asked you in charge to come out and see me."
He looked at the waist badge carefully and then raised his hand and said, "Young man, I'm going to pass the news right now." After saying that, he turned around and entered the Yamen through the corner gate.
Not long after, the red-lacquered door of the Military and Horse Department opened wide. Three generals with helmets and armor came out of the door and came to Dakui. They all bowed their hands and saluted: "In this humble position, please see the General Secretary." Dakui asked with a slow hum.
"Who are you waiting for? What is your official position?" The leading general raised his hand and said: "The humble position is Lieutenant General Dou of Shunyuan City Defense Force Ma Silang. This is the left guard general Wu Enbo, and the other is the right guard general Ji.
Open." He said and introduced them one by one.
Dakui shouted, and Dou Xian quickly extended his hand to invite him: "Your Excellency, please come to the Yamen to speak." Dakui did not refuse, and Dou Xian led the way into the Bingmasi Yamen. All the way to the lobby of the Yamen, Da Kui went straight to the back of the public case.
After sitting down, Yang Xiaohu and Tian Feng stood behind them.
Dou Xian and two generals stood bowed to one side of the hall, not even taking a breath. Dakui raised his voice and asked, "Dou Xian, do you know your guilt?" Dou Xian couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Why are you here, sir?"
Word?"
Dakui stood up and took a picture of the public case and said sternly: "You are waiting to kill the people, but you still claim that you are innocent when you kill the victims?" Dou Xian and the two generals knelt down when they heard this, and Dou Xian said sadly: "My lord, you are unjust, and you are despicable.
Just obeying the fifth rank, Master Fu Yin ordered me to do it, and I have to obey it. But I swear to God, I did not do it to kill the people."
Dakui turned to Tian Feng and said, "Take a confession for him." Tian Feng accepted the order, took a pen and paper from the copy and started recording.
Dou Xian then explained the whole story. It turned out that after Liang Youcai was promoted to the governor, he placed Xu Qian and Xu Wan into the city defense army and horse division. The two brothers Xu Qian and Xu Wan recruited their confidants in the army and cultivated them. In just a few days,
During the month, there were actually hundreds of city soldiers looking at the two of them.
When Dou Xian learned about this, he had no choice but to say that a high-ranking official would crush someone to death. Who knew that Liang Youcai was so vicious in plundering people's wealth? Not only was the price of food high, but he also had to buy some items in the Book of Defu to buy food with documents. These items
The price is quite extraordinary. A peachwood comb used by women for ten cents can only be purchased for fifty cents.
Due to the double exploitation, the victims who flowed into the city soon ran out of money and had to sell everything they could in order to survive. Some families had no choice but to put straw tags on their children and sell them like animals.
After three months of this, the refugees in the city had no choice but to beg on the streets, and some were forced to steal and rob. When the Yamen caught these victims who committed crimes, they would always beat them to death with sticks.
Liang Youcai saw that the victims had no money to plunder, so he drove the victims out of Shunyuan City on the pretext of maintaining public order in the city. The two brothers Xu Qian and Xu Wan and their gang members were even more vicious and would immediately kill anyone who refused to comply.
When Dou Xian talked about this, he defended: "I just followed orders and ordered people to drive away the victims. But I didn't do anything to kill the people. I hope you will see clearly and give me justice." Dakui asked: "How many brothers are Xu Qian and Xu Wan?
Party members? Do you have a detailed list?"
When Dou Xian heard this, he turned to look at Ji Kai, the general in charge. Ji Kai hurriedly reported back: "Xu Qian's troops are all stationed in the west of the city. There are about a hundred close followers among them, and Xu Wan has about two hundred close followers in the military camp.
." Dakui asked again: "Are there any of their cronies in Fuyin's Yamen?" Dou Xian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, all the Yamen servants led by Master Fuyin were dismissed. Now the twenty Yamen servants are all led by Master Liang."
If they come, they will also have a share in killing the people in the city."
Dakui heard this and said sternly: "Whether you are a civil official or a military general, you are the parents and people's livelihood. As a city defense general, you have the responsibility to look after the people. Although you are not the principal culprit in the disaster incident, you are also an accomplice. Such actions
But I cannot spare you lightly." Dakui slapped the table and shouted: "You can go to the barracks and get one hundred military sticks each, and I will personally oversee the punishment, otherwise we will engage in military law."
When Dou Zhan and the others heard this, they kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic. How could they still survive if a hundred army sticks were dropped on them?
Dou Xian was already bursting into tears at this time: "Sir, I have realized my mistake in this lowly position. Your Excellency, please show mercy beyond the law." Wu Enbo and Ji Kai even hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sir, please show mercy."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Dakui said warmly: "In that case, how about I give you a chance to make meritorious service?" Hearing this, Dou Xian and the others nodded in unison and said in unison: "I am willing to do your best for you." Dakui turned his head.
Looking at Tian Feng's record, he saw that it had been written. He grabbed it with one hand and threw it down the hall. He also took the cinnabar ink pad from the case and threw it to Dou Bian, saying: "The three of you will draw it first and then discuss it."
The three people in the hall did not dare to neglect. They each took the ink pad and dipped their fingers into the document one by one. Dakui took the langhao pen from Tian Feng's hand and threw it down and said, "You need to sign your names." Dou Xian and the other two went on their own.
After signing the documents one by one, Dou Xian collected the documents on the ground and presented them with the copy.
Dakui then ordered: "Wu Enbo listen to the order." Wu Enbo stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I have a humble duty." Dakui stretched out his hand and pulled out a military order plate from the copywriting archway and said: "I order you to lead a thousand elite troops to the west of Shunyuan City, General Xu Qian
Capture 10% of the party members and make sure to withdraw the troops outside the city." Wu Enbo said loudly: "I humbly obey my order." Dakui handed over the military order, Wu Enbo came to take it, turned around and left.
Dakui took out another token and said: "Ji Kai listens to the order." Ji Kai stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I have a humble duty." Dakui continued: "I order you to lead two hundred soldiers to rush to the Fuyin Yamen and arrest all the officials involved in the case.
10% capture, no mistakes." Ji Kai said loudly: "I humbly obey the order." Dakui still handed over the military order, Ji Kailai took it, turned around and left.
Dakui said again: "Yang Xiaohu, listen to the order." After hearing this, Yang Xiaohu went down to the hall and clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates are here." Dakui said: "Take two hundred soldiers to strictly guard the Liang Mansion and change to Panbu, calling
He quickly notified the victims of the 32 villages in Jiuzhaigou around Shunyuan City to come to the Shunyuan Granary to receive food." Yang Xiaohu obeyed the order, turned around and walked out of the lobby quickly.
After Dakui gave these instructions, he slowly walked around the copywriter and walked to Dou Xian. Dou Xian couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Sir, what do you do with your humble job?" Dakui said: "You lead people to maintain order in the granary and prepare dozens of carts for use.
I'm here to transport food, but I need to discuss something with General Dou."
