Chapter 341

Wang Chengyin always felt uneasy. The head eunuch was smiling from beginning to end. His cold face seemed much gentler than when he first arrived, but it gave people the uncomfortable feeling of hiding a knife behind his smile.

.

What was even more difficult for him to understand was that the troops led by Chang Yu refused to go to the military camp and chose to go to the inn instead.

The inns in important border defense towns are relatively large and well-equipped. For example, Xuanfu has hundreds of guest rooms, but it still seems overcrowded with thousands of people staying there.

What's more, after arriving at the governor's Yamen, Chang Yu refused to accompany the guests on the grounds that he was tired from the long journey, and only invited him and Zhu Zhifeng to the table, while all the attendants stayed outside the Yamen.

But Chang Yu himself brought many guests with him, including Wu Mengming, Tang Potian, the leader of the Fujun Guard, Cheng Ming, the leader of the Tengxiang Guard, Li Tiezhu, and Fan Jiaqian, and more than thirty Jinyi guards were arranged outside the lobby to guard.

This kind of scene couldn't help but make Wang Chengyin, who had been uneasy, feel panic, but then he thought about it, he didn't have anything for the other party to catch, maybe he was overthinking it.

Zhu Zhifeng's preparation of a small amount of wine was obviously a modest gesture. There is no better treat for Chang Yu and others who have traveled a long distance with good wine and delicious food.

Chang Yu didn't like wine and had never touched it. Even though Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng tried to persuade him again and again, he would only drink tea instead of wine. However, Wu Mengming, Tang Potian and others liked what was in the cup. They pushed the cups to each other and drank.

It's so unpleasant.

The war in Taiyuan was naturally the theme during the dinner. Whether it was Wang Chengyin or Zhu Zhifeng, the topic always revolved around this. After all, there was nothing else to say.

Chang Yu focused on eating. He always talked little and talked more. Wu Mengming and Tang Potian were talking with gusto. Zhu and Wang were also listening very attentively, sometimes stroking their hands, sometimes sighing, sometimes surprised, and not forgetting.

Taking advantage of the situation, they flattered Chang Yu. Of course, the two of them were shocked. They didn't expect that the little eunuch in front of them could actually turn the tide.

After three rounds of drinking, Chang Yu was full of water and food, and the rest of the people were flushed and drunk. They even had slurred speech and shook their heads.

"Wang Zongbing, I heard that you and Jiang Quan have a close relationship. Is this true?" Chang Yu drank a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and suddenly said something calmly and calmly.

But Wang Chengyin, who was already eighty percent drunk, was suddenly startled: "Sir, please don't believe the rumors. Beizhi and Jiang Guan are just acquaintances, not close friends."

It's no wonder that Wang Chengyin was panicking. The case of Jiang Yu's murder had already caused a stir in both the government and the public, with various rumors flying around and opinions diverging.

Some people say that Jiang Gu conspired to rebel and assassinate the emperor's special envoy, some say that he was framed by the special envoy, fell into a trap and was killed, etc. But no matter what kind of rumor it is, Wang Chengyin doesn't want to have anything to do with this matter or this person now.

He didn't understand why Chang Yu asked this, but since he asked it as the boss of the East Factory, it was definitely not a good thing!

"Really?" Chang Yu smiled faintly, and then looked at Wang Chengyin: "Does General Wang know why Jiang Yu was killed?"

"This, this, this humble position, I really don't know, but I heard that I am plotting to assassinate you?" Wang Chengyin made a gossipy face.

Chang Yu smiled: "It's not a conspiracy, but he has already taken action. He attacked the governor twice and three times. The governor had no choice but to kill him, but this is not the absolute reason for the governor to kill him." At this point, his expression changed.

It has become cold.

Wang Chengyin couldn't help but be excited: "Then, why is that?"

"Collaborating with the enemy and conspiring to subjugate thieves," Chang Yu said slowly, word by word.

Ah! Wang Chengyin was shocked: "Isn't this possible?"

Most people think it's impossible. After all, when Chang Yu killed Jiang Quan, the intruders were still in Pingyang Mansion. They were nearly a thousand miles away, and there was the big city of Taiyuan in the middle. There was no need for him to surrender to the thieves instead of doing what the general soldier of the imperial court did.

It's not like the troops have already reached the city, and there is still a possibility of being cornered.

Chang Yu naturally knew that this reason was unconvincing and unconvincing, so if he wanted to kill Jiang Gan, he could only deliberately force him to become murderous, force him to take action, and finally kill him on the pretext of assassinating the emperor's special envoy.

But why did he say this to Wang Chengyin at this time? It was naturally a temptation.

Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Dongchang has solid evidence for handling the case. If it weren't for this, how could our family kill the commander-in-chief at his will? It was because Jiang Quan learned that the governor had evidence of his collaboration with the enemy that he became murderous.

, If this governor had just arrived in Datong and had no enmity with him, why would he want to assassinate me!"

It turned out that this was the case. Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng suddenly realized that they had never imagined that there was such an inside story in Jiang Yu's case, but why would he tell it to himself? Such secrets should not be shared by outsiders.

Chang Yu quickly told him the answer: "I am actually very curious. If I have evidence of Commander Wang's collaboration with the enemy, will Commander Wang kill me to silence him?"

"Ah! Your Excellency, it is clear that you are not suspected of collaborating with the enemy because of your humble position!" Wang Chengyin could no longer keep calm. He staggered up from his seat and knelt directly in front of Chang Yu: "My lord, I am unjustly accused of being humble!"

"Whether it's unjust or not, we won't know until I investigate. I can't let others report it. I won't accept it!" Chang Yu chuckled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Who is it? Who is slandering others and making false accusations against me?" Wang Chengyin was frightened, frightened, and more angry. What he immediately thought of was Zhu Zhifeng.

"Jiang Quan, before Jiang Quan was killed, he wanted to make a crime and expose your collusion with the bandit army. However, the war in Taiyuan was urgent at the time, and I had no time to spend time with you. I will return to Beijing today to find out whether it is true or not!"

"Your Excellency, it is clear that I am innocent and have no suspicion of being a thief. Jiang Gan, that thief, actually framed me. I have only met him a few times. Even if I am an associate, how can I say that I know about him? Your Excellency, you are aware of this!"

Jiang Yu is a vicious dog that bites people!" Wang Chengyin was going crazy with anxiety. It turned out that it was not Zhu Zhifeng but the Jiang Yu that he had never seen several times.

"Mr. Factory Supervisor, is there any misunderstanding here? I feel that General Wang is not like this kind of person, and we cannot convict General Wang based on Jiang Yu's words." Zhu Zhifeng also quickly stood up and said.

When Chang Yu first arrived at Xuan Mansion, he had secretly discussed Wang Chengyin's matter with him, and told him to keep an eye on Wang Chengyin secretly. If there was a critical moment, such as when Datong fell, he could kill Wang Chengyin immediately.

Zhu Zhifeng still trusted Chang Yu. He had been secretly following Wang Chengyin during this period, but found nothing. In fact, he also wondered how Wang Chengyin could collaborate with the enemy, just like how Jiang Yu could collaborate with the enemy.

There must be evidence to arrest people. If you arrest people based on one-sided words, then he will not agree. As a civil servant, he has always been dissatisfied with Dongchang's style. Although he has a slight liking for Chang Yu, Dayi can't care about that at the moment.

Have a personal relationship.

Naturally, Wang Chengyin did not collaborate with the enemy, at least not yet, but Chang Yu did not have a shred of evidence in his hands, because the direction and pattern of history had changed, and some things could never happen again.

If it doesn't happen, it doesn't mean that Chang Yu can forgive these people, let alone let these people go. But it's hard to convince the public by taking people without any basis. It will bring infamy for himself in the government and the public. It is even possible that Chongzhen can't withstand the pressure and wants to pull him.

Come out and chop a few times to calm the anger.

Moreover, he was really unwilling to fabricate accusations at will and frame him wantonly, but he had no choice but not to do it. Is it possible to just let Wang Chengyin go? He was actually very conflicted in his heart.

"I am not the kind of person who only listens to one side of the story, not to mention that Jiang Gan is dead and there is no proof, and our family has not confirmed that Mr. Wang is guilty of collaborating with the enemy. Otherwise, how could he be drinking here? He would have been imprisoned long ago!"

Chang Yu said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengyin and Zhu Zhifeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency, please check clearly."

"However, since Jiang Quan said this, I'm afraid it may not be groundless. My duty as governor of Dongchang is to share the emperor's worries, and the collaborating with the enemy is not a trivial matter. Naturally, I must investigate it thoroughly, and temporarily aggrieve General Wang for a while.

But when the truth comes out, Mr. Wang will be cleared of all his crimes."

"Sir," Wang Chengyin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt his heart in his throat again.

"Don't worry, General Wang. This governor will not give in to a fight, let alone frame someone for trouble. It's just a routine review. Come, take General Wang to the inn. No one is allowed to approach!"
