In Zhang Qingshan's eyes, as long as those mud-legged people are frightened, they will be escorted back by the cavalry. At that time, he can do whatever he wants.

But he was wrong. He went too far this time. Because of the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes, farmers in Liaodong did not lack a bite to eat. Even some wealthy families had begun to abandon corn, a coarse grain, and began to eat rice. In Shandong,

Immigrants from Hebei also love pasta.

It was indeed a bit humiliating for the officials to feed them moldy food. What's more, for some unknown reason, they actually ate people to death.

The angry farmers immediately picked up their farm tools and resisted, instead of trembling with fear.

This time, it was the commander's turn to confuse Si Yamen's cavalry. They had not received an order to kill without mercy, but the current situation was that they had to either fight their way out or fight with a group of rough men.

"Bah bang bang...!" He fired three shots in succession, but still could not calm down the furious farmers. The company commander who led the team was completely confused.

Those peasants who were usually honest and honest and avoided people in official clothes were really going to rebel this time.

Some farmers had already rushed forward and pulled the cavalry off their horses. Some even held up farm tools and fiercely greeted the cavalry on their tall horses.

All the peasants who had served in the army even started to rush to grab the guns.

We can't bear it anymore. No one can afford the consequences of having their guns stolen.

The company commander delayed in issuing the order, so no one dared to shoot. The two sides fought in a melee, and the peasants, who were superior in numbers and had no scruples, actually gained the upper hand.

Seeing his subordinates struggling hard, he was about to give an order. "Bang!" The gun still went off. Many people in the fighting crowd didn't even stop, and they didn't know if they heard the gunshot.

It is impossible to verify who fired the first shot. Anyway, when the gunfire continued, things developed in an irreversible direction.

Some farmers grabbed their guns and fired at the soldiers. Some soldiers pulled the triggers directly at the people who rushed towards them!

The smell of blood filled the air in an instant. Once something like this started, it would be difficult to stop the car, especially when the two sides were in a melee.

When the company commander leading the team saw corpses everywhere and the wounded who kept screaming, he knew that things were getting serious.

Li Xiao took the Supervisory Yuan's report and threw it directly in front of Ao Canghai.

"Let's see! We killed more than 20 people and injured more than 50 people. How dare you conceal such serious casualties. It's amazing! In order to attack the Jiangnan Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian only killed seven people.

This was cited as a crime.

Your Battalion Commander Zhang is not an easy man. One attack resulted in seventy or eighty casualties. When Wei Zhongxian was at his most arrogant, no one in the Dongchang Fanzi Jinyiwei dared to do this.

What happened? Did you go back? Back to the Chongzhen Year or the Tianqi Year?

Look, these are my people of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, not Koreans or Japanese." Li Xiao became angrier as he spoke, and threw the report directly on the coffee table in front of Ao Canghai.

The veins on Ao Canghai's neck popped out, and his temples bulged like a toad. It was too much. The most important thing was that Zhang Qingshan recommended it himself.

As a battalion commander, the boy named Zhang Qingshan was considered very capable. When fighting in India, he was also considered a ruthless character. He was shot twice and still refused to retreat. However, he did not expect that he would actually do this when he got to the local area.

That was Li Xiao's hometown, and theoretically those people were all Li Xiao's fellow villagers. Mr. Ao really wanted to ask that bastard if he was crazy or had lived enough.

"I'm going to kill him right now!" Mr. Ao jumped up and kicked the coffee table far away.

Shunzi and Ao Ye's bodyguards stood with long nails, like two statues.

"Are you going to kill him? That's called lynching. We have sent people to arrest him, and this time there must be a public trial. His crimes will be exposed in broad daylight, and this time, not only will a group of people be arrested, but a group of people will also be killed.

Don't blame us brothers for not making it clear beforehand that the chaos in Liaodong will no longer work, and we must make great efforts to rectify it. Now let's go to Liaodong to rectify the officialdom of Liaodong. I will lead and you will assist.

They are all the soldiers we brought out, and they are also the disaster we have brought to the people of Liaodong. In this case, it is up to us to squeeze out this bag of pus."

"Sure! You go and investigate. As long as there is solid evidence, I have no objection. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and arrest those who deserve to be arrested."

Zhang Qingshan was lying on the train to the capital, and two guys wearing khaki military uniforms and big-brimmed hats were sitting on the berth opposite.

When these guys wearing big-brimmed hats appeared in his mansion, Zhang Qingshan knew that something was wrong. Because everyone in the Liao army knew that only the marshal's guard regiment wore such impressive-looking big-brimmed hats.

Up to now, Zhang Qingshan felt that he had done it fairly cleanly.

The injured were all sent to the hospital for treatment. The injured civilians were also sent to the hospital. As for the dead, they were incinerated that night and their bodies were completely destroyed.

The dead people were offered high compensation, and those who did not agree were asked to be persuaded by their relatives in the public service. If they could not be persuaded, the relatives who were receiving financial support would be fired.

Liu Zishan was very capable. It only took him one night to get all the family members of the deceased to agree to a generous pension. They all signed and pledged not to complain.

Zhang Qingshan still believes in Minfu's family. Because these people want to file a lawsuit and redress their grievances, the first thing they have to do is come to him. He is the biggest official in the entire Meogou camp!

It's over! This time it's really over. If it falls into the hands of Mr. Ao, he might let him go because of his military merit. But if it falls into the hands of the commander, he will be dead.

Damn it! Who the hell leaked the news...!

The train went directly to Tongzhou Railway Station. As soon as he got off the train, Zhang Qingshan was stuffed into a carriage on the platform. From the corner of his eye, he saw another person being stuffed into another carriage. From the back, he looked like Liu Zishan.

"I am the Prefect of Wugou Ying. You can't do this to me. You can't do this to me." Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes and shouted loudly.

Sure enough, Liu Zishan's voice rang out from another carriage: "I am a member of the Wugou Camp. Why do you want to arrest me? I want to see the commander-in-chief."

The sound stopped suddenly, and someone must have blocked his mouth. Soon, a ball of soft stuff was stuffed into Zhang Qingshan's mouth. The helpless Zhang Qingshan could only scream "Uh" and "Uh"

.

The carriage was galloping, but there were not many bumps. Zhang Qingshan was pinned down and unable to move, and he couldn't see what was going on outside.

One of the guards escorting him grinned and took out a black hood and put it directly on Zhang Qingshan's head. This time, Zhang Qingshan could no longer see anything.

I felt the carriage stop, and then I was taken out of the carriage. The two guards didn't say a word, they just put an arm on each other and left.

The black hood on his head was violently pulled open, and Zhang Qingshan's eyes were pierced by a dazzling light that made him unable to open his eyes. Before he had time to adapt to the light around him, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Bring Zhang Qingshan and Liu Zishan up here

.”

The two red-lacquered doors in front of the door burst open. As soon as Zhang Qingshan saw a huge auditorium clearly, he was pushed out by the wolf-like guards.

Strong hands clamped around his neck, Zhang Qingshan's head hung low, his hands were tied behind his back and he was pushed directly into the auditorium.

There was a "dong" and "dong" sound under his feet. When he stepped on the high platform, Zhang Qingshan was stunned when he saw the scene below.

Stars gathered under the high platform, and those in the front row were all high-ranking officials. Zhang Qingshan even saw Commander Cao Wenzhao, who should be in the northwest, and was Liu Zishan's old commander.

Next to Cao Wenzhao is Man Gui, for God's sake! Shouldn't this man be in the grassland now? Even Yuan Chonghuan, who is far away in Fujian, is here. He is the commander of the Second Division and I met him in Jinzhou.

And... Mr. Ao! My old leader is now looking at me with burning eyes.

Further back are... Nie Dahu, Song Dazhong, Duan Zhijie, Xiong Dahai, Zhang Rengui... these are all front-line generals, and they are all here. Of the remaining civil servants, he only knows Ai Husheng and Zhang Huangyan.

I have only met Zhang Huangyan once, but I have met Ai Husheng more than a dozen times. However, a small character like him cannot even say a word in front of the Ming Dynasty God of Wealth.

There were still "dong" and "dong" footsteps behind him. You knew without looking that it must be Liu Zishan.

"Zhang Qingshan, Liu Zishan, you are so brave." The guards withdrew their big hands from their necks, and Zhang Qingshan heard Li Xiao's sinister voice.

"Commander! Zhang Qingshan asked me to do it. He is a Shangguan. I can't help it! Commander! Out of love for me, who joined the army at the age of sixteen and followed you for ten years, please spare me this time.

." Obviously, Liu Zishan responded quickly.

Before Li Xiao's voice fell to the ground, Liu Zishan was lying on the ground kowtowing "dong", "dong" and "dong".

Zhang Qingshan's brain was "buzzing" and "buzzing", and his knees softened and he fell to the ground. There seemed to be a lump of phlegm stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Xiao glanced sideways at Liu Zishan, with nothing but contempt in his eyes.

But looking at Zhang Qingshan, there was some regret in his eyes.

"Zhang Qingshan, you joined our Liao Army at the age of fifteen. You have been through life and death for more than ten years, and you probably don't have a lot of good skin on your chest and back. You have been promoted to battalion commander through hard work. To be able to become a battalion commander in the first division, you are indeed a talent.

But you, a talented person, have actually committed such a heinous case. You used the command cavalry, causing more than 70 casualties. Afterwards, you tried every means to cover it up and used public funds to clean up the mess.

Let me ask you, Liaodong Nogou camp is short of money and food? Or is it because the government budget and the Ministry of Household Affairs did not allocate it in time? Why? Why do you feed those migrant workers with moldy and spoiled food?

You also came from a poor background, and you actually gave moldy food to the migrant workers. Are you blind? Or are you dark-hearted? What you did is worse than the corrupt officials in Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties.

You say, why? What is this all for?"

"Commander! These are all things that can't be helped. Zhang Qingshan lives a luxurious life. Just drinking the Moutai wine shipped by airship from Guizhou for a meal costs thirty silver coins a bottle.

In his free time, he still needs singing girls and maids to wait on him, and he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas non-stop every day. The cook has to be hired from the capital, and he has to travel to the capital every year, and the local specialties he takes away are a huge expense.

He often said that the hard work in this life is enough for the rest of his life. The remaining days should be spent enjoying himself.

The villain has no choice, so he has to misappropriate the money and food from the river workers and use it as the expenses of the Lord."

Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything, but Liu Zishan knelt on the ground and said everything.

"Don't listen to you, Zhang Qingshan, what do you say?" Li Xiao glanced at Liu Zishan and looked at Zhang Qingshan fiercely.

"Commander! I have made countless mistakes, and they are all the fault of one of my subordinates. I'm sorry for you, and I can't afford to lose the cultivation of my teacher. You can deal with me, no matter how you deal with me. I have no complaints, my subordinates." Zhang Qingshan

He knelt on the ground and slowly hit his head on the floor with a heavy sound.

"Okay! He is still a responsible man, and he is worthy of being a battalion commander from the first division. Now let me ask you, Liu Zishan. You said you have nothing to do with this matter, right?" Li Xiao shook his head and turned his gaze again.

Liu Zishan beside me.

"Yes! Marshal, I, Liu Zishan, always follow the orders of my superiors. There is nothing I can do, there is nothing I can do! Please Marshal, please spare me this time, spare me this time." Liu Zishan's head was already red and swollen.

But it still hit the floor one after another, making a "dong" and "dong" sound.

"Oh! You can't help it, okay! If I said the following words wrong, please remind me. Okay!" Li Xiao suddenly seemed not to be angry anymore, and looked at Liu Zishan with a smile.

Liu Zishan raised his dull and swollen head, not knowing what to say, and looked at Li Xiao dumbfounded.

"First of all, let's talk about your misappropriation of public funds to lend money. Next, let's talk about your use of Wugou to operate a port to smuggle goods to the Japanese country and make huge profits.

It’s a good job! You don’t have to pay customs fees every time, and the profits are good.” Li Xiao’s voice became sinister again!

Liu Zishan looked ashen and looked at Li Xiao blankly. He even forgot to beg for mercy and cry out for injustice.

"Tell me! Zhang Qingshan asked you to do all of this?"

"Little man...little man...his family is poor, so he does some business to support his family." The sweat on Liu Zishan's forehead flowed freely on his face like a stream.

"My family is poor, right? In our bank, you and your family have a total of 190,000 silver coins. I was really shocked when I saw this number just now.

I think I am a great commander of the Liao army, but I don’t have as much money in the bank as you. Speaking of which, for a humble person like you, I, the commander, should step down and let you do it.

At least Ai Husheng of the Ministry of Hubu should be dismissed and you should be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu.

Liu Zishan, do you prefer to be a commander-in-chief, or would you rather be the Minister of Household Affairs, or the general manager of a bank?"
