Ming Zuo

Chapter 615 Backstab from the Imperial Court

"How can it be reasonable... how can it be reasonable? It's nonsense!"

After reading Zuo Menggeng's article, Zhang Pu felt endless fear.

He could only cover up this visceral trembling with a growl.

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, nobles and humbles are different. According to the principles of the sages and the teachings of the great ancestors, these rebels in Shandong not only peep at the great treasures of the world, but also try to subvert the norms. If this continues, will the world be in chaos and ethics will be ruined?"

It was the first time Ji Yingzhong saw Zhang Pu lose his composure, so he couldn't help being a little scared.

"Mr. Ximing, the matter has come to this, what should we do?"

Zhang Pu spun around in circles impatiently, and it took him as long as a stick of incense to go.

"My generation has the ambition to help the world and the responsibility of teaching the people. How can I allow evil to destroy my righteous way? Come on, prepare a pen and paper quickly, and I will definitely fight against the traitors in Shandong forever!"

Just when people like Zhang Pu were driven mad by Zuo Menggeng's article, there were many other people all over the world who also saw this article.

And all kinds of attitudes emerge in endlessly, completely different.

"This traitor from Shandong is even more hateful than the rogues from the northwest. This is to destroy my bloodline of righteousness and the foundation of my Confucianism. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, anyone who disrupts my righteousness in the future will be a thief."

Jiangxi governor's yamen, Xie Xuelong tore Zuo Menggeng's article into pieces, still unable to appease the anger in his heart.

The chief envoys on the left and right echoed each other again and again, sharing the same hatred with the enemy.The Jiangxi gentry present was even more excited, shouting and shouting.

Zuo Buzheng Zhou Yingqi said decisively: "Li Banghua of Jishui blatantly rebelled, and he has committed the crime of treason and immorality. Although his relatives have already been arrested and imprisoned, he is a righteous person, and he should be sentenced quickly and severely, so as to deter Xiaoxiao."

The others all agreed.

Seeing the opinion of the public, Xie Xuelong pushed the boat along.

"The world is in turmoil, and disasters are endless. If things go on like this, the country will not be the country. Today, starting from my Jiangxi, I will never die with that traitor."

"come……"

Xie Xuelong is going to call for manpower, open a criminal hall, and decide the case of Li Banghua's rebellion.

There were many footsteps outside the hall, but the people who came in surprised everyone present.

I saw a eunuch in a big red python gown entering with high spirits under the guard of dozens of strong soldiers.

This eunuch has a face, and the journey has been full of dust, obviously he came here in the starry night.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, so they didn't notice that following the eunuch, a young man in strange clothes looked very different.

The eunuch entered and frowned when he saw the chaos in the hall.

"The majestic governor's yamen, the most important place in the country, why is it so smoky, and what is the order?"

Many people present trembled, and their bodies began to retreat involuntarily.

Xie Xuelong frowned.

It made him very dissatisfied to let a eunuch take the lead in his own territory.

"I don't know where the father-in-law came from, what's the matter?"

The eunuch raised his eyebrows, a dark fire arose in his heart, his dark eyes seemed to pick out something wrong with Xie Xuelong.

Xie Xuelong flicked his sleeves, like a mountain like a deep, awe-inspiring and fearless.

The eunuch chuckled, and said to himself, "See how long you can be rampant?"

"Xie Zhongcheng, our family ordered Jiangxi to guard Xu Jinzhong, and was ordered by the emperor to come to supervise important cases."

Xie Xuelong didn't know why, but he checked Xu Jinzhong's seal and knew what he said was true.

"Recently, the weather in Jiangxi is calm and the people are peaceful, but I don't know if there is any important case that requires a labor angel?"

Xu Jinzhong sat on the main seat with a strong horse and a golden sword, and looked coldly.

"Xie Zhongcheng, don't pretend to be ignorant. Now, because of your misconduct, everyone in Jiangxi has been terrified and the hearts of the people are terrified. If things go on like this, the disaster will never disappear. How can you wait for Jiangxi officials to bear such a serious crime?"

Seeing that Xu Jinzhong was aggressive when he came, Xie Xuelong couldn't help being more careful.

"I waited for the Jiangxi officials to come quickly and do their best to govern the local area conscientiously. Although I dare not say that there is nothing wrong with it, I still govern impartially and abide by the law, but I don't know where the father-in-law said?"

"Hmph, Xie Zhongcheng, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River."

Xu Jinzhong took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his lips lightly, but what he said surprised everyone in the audience.

"Someone reported to the court that you acted recklessly, slandered merchants, imprisoned your loved ones and swallowed their family wealth. Your Majesty was furious when he heard about it. We specially ordered our family to come and put things right. I hope you will repent and don't make mistakes."

Xie Xuelong was so angry that he couldn't figure out what Xu Jinzhong was talking about.

"Eunuch, please make it clear."

Xu Jinzhong became more and more annoyed.

"Let's ask, where are the relatives of Li Banghua, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

Xie Xuelong was stunned, he never thought that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor was actually for this purpose.

Before he could reply, a squire in the hall stood up.

"Eunuch, then Li Banghua has long been a traitor and committed the great crime of exterminating the nine clans. We Jiangxi officials and gentry protect the government and serve the country loyally. How can we allow such a traitor to exist in the world? Therefore, all his relatives have been imprisoned and are awaiting trial. To set the record straight."

Xu Jinzhong slapped the table with a "slap".

"Bastard! Who said Li Sima is a thief?"

What's the situation?
Jiangxi officials and gentry were all dumbfounded.

Isn't it well-known in the world that Shandong rebelled and rebelled?
Then Li Banghua is an official in Shandong and occupies an important position. What is it if he is not a rebel and a thief?
Xie Xuelong only felt that something was wrong.

"Eunuch, Li Banghua's crimes are well known to the world, maybe..."

Xu Jinzhong looked over suspiciously.

"Perhaps you think that His Majesty is stupid and deceived, not as wise as you?"

This statement was too serious, causing Xie Xuelong to be terrified, and he and Jiangxi people repeatedly accused him of crimes.

Xu Jinzhong clearly had the upper hand, but he didn't see any joy.

"Li Sima is currently serving in Shandong. This is an appointment by the imperial court. If you speculate wildly, where will the imperial court end by killing his family and relatives?"

Xie Xuelong has been an official all his life, and it was the first time he saw that the court actually spoke for the rebels.

This phenomenon, which was extremely contrary to common sense, made him feel at a loss.

But after thinking about it again, Xu Jinzhong's words made him find something tricky.

It's not that Li Banghua is not a traitor, but the court cannot say that he is a traitor, and has to do everything possible to protect his relatives.

Only then did Xie Xuelong notice the strangely dressed young man sitting next to Xu Jinzhong.

"I don't know who this is..."

The young man smiled and confessed frankly.

"Xie Zhongcheng is very courteous. I, Jin Qiyu, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs, Shandong Administrative Committee. I heard that the Jiangxi government does not distinguish between right and wrong, and maliciously harmed the relatives of our high-ranking officials. I came here on purpose. I also hope that Xie Zhongcheng can give an explanation."

It's actually a member of the Shandong rebels!
For a moment, Xie Xuelong almost called the officers and soldiers to enter and arrested Jin Qiyu.

But seeing Jin Qiyu and Xu Jinzhong sitting together, he faintly understood.

But this kind of understanding brought him an absurd and powerless self-mockery.

What happened to this court?
