"Yes, Mr. Factory." Li Tiezhu, who was still drunk and confused just now, immediately stood up and motioned to the guards outside the door to get someone.
"Your Excellency, you are aware that you have been wronged for your humble position!" Wang Chengyin was anxious. According to the past, no one who was captured by Dongchang could escape unscathed.
"General Wang"
Chang Yu suddenly shouted angrily and punched the table hard.
Wang Chengyin was agitated and immediately stopped shouting, but he still couldn't help but beg for mercy in a low voice: "Sir, I am unjust for my humble position!"
"Right and wrong can be judged by themselves. Mr. Wang will just tolerate it for a while. If there is really no suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, I will clear your name. Is it possible that someone is reporting you now and I won't even investigate? Isn't that right?
The governor has failed in his duty!"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Wang Chengyin didn't dare to speak anymore, and was immediately taken down by the Jinyi Guards and escorted to the inn by Li Tiezhu himself.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, Commander Wang is really..." Seeing Wang Chengyin being taken away dejectedly, Zhu Zhifeng looked confused.
"Governor Zhu, Chang Yu gestured for him to take a seat. Although we have only known each other for a short time, our family has always treated each other with sincerity. It is because our family feels that the governor is a good official. He shares the worries of the court at the top and considers the people at the bottom.
You are a good official, but our family is not talented. Although Dongchang has a bad reputation, he is not a young man. Our family does not bother to frame up. When we first arrived at Xuanfu a few months ago, our family already revealed to you that Wang Chengyin is a collaborator.
Sorry, our family has actually been investigating this matter during this period. At the moment, we only lack some key evidence. However, in order to prevent him from escaping after hearing the news, we are temporarily under house arrest. However, after the investigation is completed, if he is really unjust, he will be repaid.
He is innocent".
Chang Yu's seemingly true and false words made Zhu Zhifeng feel at ease. Thinking about it in retrospect, after all, Chang Yu had mentioned this matter before when he first came here. If it was really a conspiracy to frame someone up, then he would have done it.
Wang Chengyin took it, why wait until now.
"I hope that the factory supervisor will be more careful and not accuse General Wang of injustice, but he will not easily let go of any suspected collaborator." Zhu Zhifeng said this, indicating his attitude, neutral!
"Your Majesty, the governor, you really haven't noticed any unusual behavior from Mr. Wang during this period?" Chang Yu asked casually as he had to perform a full set of acting.
Zhu Zhifeng lowered his head and said silently for a while: "He has only left the city once in the past half month. He went to inspect the passes under his jurisdiction. The subordinate officials sent people to keep a lookout and found nothing unusual."
Chang Yu said: "Collaborating with the enemy is of great importance. They are acting extremely cautiously. Now that they are out of the city, I can't guarantee whether they took the opportunity to pass on the information. This matter needs to be investigated strictly."
Zhu Zhifeng actually nodded in agreement. It was obvious that Chang Yu had subtly led him in the direction of "Wang Chengyin is guilty." His thinking at this time was already biased towards the possibility that Wang Chengyin was guilty.
At this time, Chang Yu suddenly heard a noise outside, and Chang Yu raised his eyebrows. Fan Jiaqian stood up and was waiting to ask, when he saw a guard in Jinyi hurriedly ran over: "Report to your lord, Wang Chengyin is at the gate to stop him!"
Everyone was shocked, Wang Chengyin was a local snake, this matter could be big or small.
Chang Yu snorted coldly when he heard this, and said to Fan Jiaqian: "Let me be clear first, if there are still people who stop me, I can kill or arrest him! We don't believe that Wang Chengyin is a stupid young man!"
"It's the factory owner." Fan Jia Qianyi waved to more than a dozen Jinyi guards to follow him and leave hurriedly.
"Governor Zhu, Wang Chengyin is naturally frightened when he is kidnapped. You need to come forward to appease this matter!" Chang Yu said calmly with a relaxed expression.
Zhu Zhifeng nodded slightly, clasped his fists and left.
As a powerful figure in the Xuanfu, Wang Chengyin's dignified general officer was taken away by Dongchang. Naturally, everyone was afraid, and it might even cause some riots. However, Chang Yu believed that Zhu Zhifeng could handle it. After all, he had given instructions a month ago.
Wang Chengyin can be killed when necessary, so he should have made various preparations in advance, and it should not be difficult to appease his servants now.
In the blink of an eye, the banquet was gone, leaving only Cheng Ming, Tang Potian, Wu Mengming and others.
"I resign from my humble position." Cheng Ming, Tang Potian and others understood this and immediately stood up and left. Only the boss with two swords was left in the hall.
Wu Mengming was greedy for money and timid, but he was shrewd, and the fact that he was able to get into the position of commander of the Jin Yiwei showed that he was a veteran. He had been chatting with Zhu Zhifeng and Wang Chengyin at the wine table.
But from the moment Chang Yu opened his mouth and accused Wang Chengyin of collaborating with the enemy, he never said a word again, but it was like a bright light in his heart. He and Chang Yu joined forces to kill Jiang Gu in Datong. He and Chang Yu jointly killed the local emperor.
But why did he want to kill Jiang Gan? On the surface, Jiang Gan assassinated him and Chang Yu, but without the emperor's acquiescence, he believed that Chang Yu would not have the guts to attack the dignified general.
As for the sudden claim that Wang Chengyin collaborated with the enemy, in his opinion, it was an obvious frame-up, so there was no doubt that this unlucky guy had offended the emperor for some reason and was going to be punished. But Chang Yu found this excuse and it was difficult to convince the public. If there was no evidence of the accusation,
It is not established, even if there is solid evidence, it cannot be justified, because Wang Chengyin has no reason to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to liaise with thieves, he can only be deliberately framed.
"Mr. Factory, this move of yours doesn't look very good." Wu Mengming sipped his tea and stared at Chang Yu.
Chang Yu chuckled: "Master Wu, what are your suggestions?"
"There is nothing noble about a lowly position, but the factory boss... Hehe, even a lowly position can tell..." Wu Mengming chuckled, his meaning was very clear, the traces of frame-up were too obvious!
"Is it?"
Chang Yu laughed and suddenly turned cold: "Master Wu, our family received a secret report the day before yesterday. Is it possible that you had colluded with the bandit army when you were in Lu'an Mansion?"
Ah! Wu Mengming was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes: "Sir, your joke is not funny at all."
"Isn't it funny?" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Our family also received a secret report that you raped civilian girls in Taiyuan City?"
Damn it, Wu Mengming didn’t even bother to roll his eyes this time.
"There is also a secret report saying that you are corrupt, accepting bribes, and plundering everywhere. Isn't it true?" Chang Yu chuckled.
Wu Mengming opened his eyes, took a sip of tea, then smiled and nodded, giving Chang Yu a thumbs up: "I accept my humble position!"
He finally understood what Chang Yu meant.
If Chang Yu wanted to kill Wang Chengyin according to his original intention, and Chongzhen naturally thought so too, but at this time there was no evidence at all, but he didn't want to let him go, so he had to find a reason to pull him down before he wanted to do it openly.
It would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty's general to have a plain meal with his corpse.
Therefore, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is just a pretext. If this ground cannot be established, then look for something else, such as corruption and perversion of the law, corruption and bribery, and personal enrichment... One check will prove that Wang Chengyin can occupy the position of commander-in-chief.
At this point in time, if you can't find anything, it's crazy. Let alone him, it's Zhou Yuji. If you continue to investigate, you can find something.
To put it simply, Chang Yu wants Wang Chengyin to step down now, and it doesn’t matter what the crime is!
"It's getting late. Let's go and have a rest when we are tired. Mr. Wu slept all the way. Seeing that he is so energetic, why not go to the inn to chat with Wang Chengyin?" Chang Yu stood up with a smile.
"No way, sir, you are giving up your burden!" Wu Mengming said with a bitter face.
Chang Yu chuckled: "We don't have any manpower around us at the moment, and Mr. Wu is familiar with this matter. Let's talk to him first, and then take him directly back to Beijing tomorrow and take care of it slowly!"
Wu Mengming nodded, but secretly sighed in his heart that Wang Chengyin was almost dead. Once he was brought back to Beijing and sent to prison...
Late at night, in the governor's office, Chang Yu snored loudly.
The post station in the north of the city is heavily guarded. Wu Mengming is sitting in the hall, holding a tea cup in his hand, and the oil lamp is like a bean, floating unsteadily. In front of him, Wang Chengyin looks gray and defeated. (To be continued)
