Chapter 269: The End of the Tiger Banner
"Sir, General Zhang has arrived and is waiting in front of the yamen."
Outside the study room, someone came running in and reported.
Du Wanyuan, the governor and aide, said: "Students have long heard that General Zhang and the tiger-shaped flag of Lingqiu have a close relationship. General Zhang chose to come to see the adults at this time, most of the matter is for the tiger-shaped flag.
”
"The national law is not merciless, and I believe General Zhang should be responsible." Governor Liu picked up the blue and white porcelain cover bowl, took a sip of tea, and said to the servant, "Take him to the study."
Du Wanyuan said: "For the matter of the tiger flag, Lord Li, deputy envoy of Shaanxi Censor, also came to write. It seems that the tiger flag has become the reason for the struggle between Deputy General Li and General Zhang."
"Hmph, it's not the turn of Shaanxi officials to talk too much about my Datong affairs." Governor Liu's cup lid was heavily buckled on the edge of the cup, and his words were dissatisfied.
Du Wanyuan said: "Deputy General Li was a little anxious. He was promoted to Deputy General, but he was staring at the position of General in a blink of an eye. General Zhang is not a muddy person, he is from the Zhang family of the general."
Governor Liu said coldly: "I think he is Li Kaiyang, who is looking forward to Shu, and Datong is a major town on the nine sides. How can he allow him to do things in chaos? Although the emperor has not been in the court for a long time, I believe that Master Fang will never allow anyone to do this.
Disrupt the border town.”
"What the lord said is," Du Wanyuan said, "Deputy General Li is indeed becoming more and more distorted. If you want to seize the position of general today, who knows what he will do tomorrow!"
This is already very heavy.
The highest status in Datong is the Dai Prince's Mansion, followed by the governor, and the general in the military position has the greatest power.
He said this almost to say that when Li Kaiyang takes the position of general, he should aim at the position of governor.
Although Li Kaiyang could not be the governor, their Li family had a deputy inspector who had the opportunity to take up the position of governor.
Although the rank of the deputy envoy of the Censor is lower, the emperor will not be able to attend the court. As long as he connects with the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet, he may not be unable to become a governor.
"He dares." Governor Liu's face darkened.
As the governor, he could do nothing about the battle between the deputy general and the general, but if he was involved in his position as governor, he would never tolerate it.
Du Wanyuan's words just touched his worries.
"Now Donglin is powerful. You are not a member of the Donglin Party, so you have to be careful!" Du Wanyuan reminded.
At this moment, Zhang Huai was taken to the study by his servants.
"I have met the governor." Zhang Huai said to Governor Liu, who was sitting in the upper seat, bowed his fists.
"General Zhang doesn't have to be too polite." Governor Liu sat in his seat and raised his right hand, and said, "General Zhang, please sit down."
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Huai walked to the seat beside him and sat down.
The servants presented the hot tea that had just been brewed.
Governor Liu looked at Zhang Huai and said, "General Zhang rarely comes to his official residence. This time General Zhang comes here, I don't know what's going on!"
"I dare not deceive my lord." Zhang Huai bowed and said, "Deputy General Li wanted to seize other people's family business, and he also wanted to use this to frame my generals. Now that the generals sued the last general,
The last one has to come and ask for the Governor.”
While speaking, he took out a note from his sleeve, raised it up, and said, "This is a note written by my ginseng general. Please check it out."
Du Wanyuan came over, took the note, and handed it to Governor Liu with both hands.
Governor Liu opened the memorial and saw the content inside. He frowned first, then slowly unfolded.
He closed the memorial again, put it aside, and said, "I will leave my memorial here first."
Zhang Huai was happy and hurriedly said, "It would be best if you are willing to leave a memorial."
"Don't be busy and happy first." Governor Liu said, "Deputy General Li sued Lingqiu Tiger Banner with reasonable evidence, with complete witnesses, and the victim is here, so I cannot believe your words."
Zhang Huai said: "Sir, the reason for all this is because Vice General Li wants to seize other people's business. The victims and witnesses are also bribed by him..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Governor Liu say, "Okay, this matter will be verified by the official. As long as it is confirmed that the matter has nothing to do with the generals under your command, there is also conclusive evidence to prove that Li Kai was plotting to seize other people's business.
It will be clear."
"Yes." Zhang Huai clasped his fists with both hands and bowed slightly on his upper body.
"Okay, if you come for this matter, I will know." Governor Liu picked up the cover bowl at his hand and used the cover to pluck the tea inside.
Zhang Huai, who was sitting in the seat, hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "The Lord is leaving."
"Yes." Governor Liu nodded.
After Zhang Huai was sent away by his servants, Du Wanyuan said, "It seems that General Zhang will not give up the general under his command."
"You can take a look at this note first." Governor Liu pointed to the note sent by Zhang Huai with his finger.
Du Wanyuan had received the note from Zhang Huai before, but did not open it to read the contents. This time he started to see what was written inside.
The words in the comments are very short and you can read them at a glance.
Seeing the contents on the note clearly, Du Wanyuan took a breath of air conditioning, closed the note with both hands, and said in his mouth: "That ginseng general has such a big hand. It takes five thousand taels of silver at one's action."
Governor Liu said, "According to my opinion, this money was taken out by the merchant named Liu Heng."
"Sir, a businessman can take out five thousand taels of silver at will. No wonder Vice General Li would target him." Du Wanyuan sighed.
Governor Liu said: "This matter should not be delayed any further. In this way, if you continue to report it, the Japanese official in Ming Dynasty will personally try the case."
"I wonder how the adults plan to try it? This case involves two adults, General and Deputy General." Du Wanyuan asked.
As an aide and giving advice to the governor, we must naturally figure out the governor’s thoughts about the case.
Governor Liu stroked his beard and said, "This official is a clean and upright official. If Liu Heng, who is the tiger flag, is as the plaintiff said, it was originally a group of bandits, so the official will naturally punish him according to the law and will never show any mercy."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "If Liu Heng from Lingqiu is also as others have said, he is good at building bridges and roads in Lingqiu, and I will definitely give him a cleansing."
Du Wanyuan bowed and said, "The students understand that this will be passed down to the people below, and they are preparing to open a meeting tomorrow to ask about the case."
Governor Liu nodded and said, "You go and do it!"
Du Wanyuan withdrew from the study room.
Governor Liu picked up the note at hand and said to the servant beside him: "I have someone send the things that General Zhang sent to the back house and hand them over to the butler."
The servant took the note and retreated from the study.
The news that the governor was going to ask about the case tomorrow soon spread.
In the inn, when he received the news from the governor's yamen, Butler She burst into laughter.
Zheng Dahu next to him smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to the butler, this time the tiger flag and Liu Heng are over. When the tiger flag is turned down, Xujiazhuang and Tiechang will be the property of the son-in-law in the future."
Housekeeper She smiled and said, "This is called "unjustice to do things that are unrighteous. If a bandit doesn't hide it well, he will be seeking death by himself if he dares to show off like this."
