Gu Dayong and Yang Yu led people to the front yard and ordered people to open the yard gate.
"Zhang Yin, Chen Shiyi, what are you going to do? This is the governor's station. What are you going to do when you mobilize your troops and lead your troops here like this? Are you rebelling?" Gu Dayong shouted loudly.
Zhang Yin, Chen Shi and the others sneered and didn't answer, but Zhang Yanling, who was sitting in the cart, opened the door and walked out. She walked outside the courtyard gate with a smile on her face.
"Zhang Yanling, it turns out you're here too. That's just right. What do you mean? In broad daylight, what do you want to do with so many soldiers and horses coming to our camp?" Gu Dayong pointed at Zhang Yanling and asked.
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Eunuch Gu, you are polite. I have received a clue and came to arrest a collaborator and traitor. The matter is so important that we have to mobilize troops. Please forgive me if I have disturbed Eunuch Gu. But I am so
This is to ensure that the traitor will not escape. You don’t have to worry."
Gu Dayong frowned and said: "Catch the traitors who collaborated with the enemy? Why did they come to arrest me? These are all brothers of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. They are all people we brought from the capital. How can they come to be traitors?"
Zhang Yanling sneered, pointed at Yang Yu, and shouted: "Yang Yu, you have done something wrong. You have been exposed to all the things you did to liaise with the rebels, leak information, and try to use the hands of the rebels to crush my plan to raid Ningxia City.
.Those who know the truth should immediately restrain themselves, otherwise they will bear the consequences at their own risk."
Yang Yu stared in shock and shouted loudly: "That's nonsense. Zhang Yanling, you are so brave, how dare you spit on others."
Gu Dayong also shouted: "Master Zhang, please don't do anything wrong. How can you say that Commander Yang is collaborating with the enemy? How could he be collaborating with the enemy? Isn't it a joke."
Zhang Yanling looked at Gu Dayong coldly and said: "Eunuch Gu, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. I don't want to take it with you. Do I dare to arrest people without evidence? If your Eunuch Gu
If you get involved, I will treat you as a group with him and someone who knows the truth, so I will take it too."
Gu Dayong was furious, but he still said angrily: "Where's the evidence? What evidence do you have?"
Yang Yu also shouted: "That's it, Zhang Yanling, where is the evidence? There is no evidence. In this broad daylight, you dare to come and arrest me. Do you really want to rebel?"
Zhang Yanling nodded, waved his hand and shouted: "Bring it up."
Behind the cavalry, Zhao Yuancheng pushed a man forward. The man bowed and lowered his hands, came to the door and saluted Zhang Yanling and said hello.
"Hello, Lord Zhang."
"Hmm. What's your name? Tell Eunuch Gu and Deputy Commander Yang to hear it." Zhang Yanling said.
The man nodded, turned to the door, waved to Yang Yu who was staring at me, nodded and bowed and said: "Commander Yang, do you still remember your humble position? Your humble position is Ma Qiang. He is Ma Qiang of Ningxia Town Jinyi Guard Qianhu.
.Commander Yang, it’s not like he doesn’t recognize his humble position.”
Yang Yu's head was already buzzing. He never expected that Ma Qiang, whom he had been looking for since entering the city, would actually fall into Zhang Yanling's hands. And it seemed that he must have confessed to Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling
Only then did he lead the troops and mobilize a large number of people to come to the door.
"Commander Yang, don't pretend you don't know me. I went to the capital to report on my work at the end of last year, and we had a drink together. Commander Shi was also present at the time. We won't forget about it so quickly," Ma Qiang said with a playful smile.
.
Yang Yu couldn't deny it anymore and shouted in a deep voice: "Ma Qiang, what are you doing here? The Japanese have been looking for you everywhere these days. I thought everyone in your Ningxia Jinyi Guard Qianhu Station was dead, but I didn't expect you to still be alive."
Ma Qiang smiled and said: "Of course Commander Yang hopes that we are all dead. Then no one will reveal your secrets, right? It's a pity that humble positions should not be terminated. Commander Yang, there is no need to pretend, just take it. I have already blamed you for leaking the information about Mr. Zhang’s coming to Ningxia to the humble post. Don’t deny it. The letters passed between you and me are all in Mr. Zhang’s hands. Don’t blame the humble post for betraying you. After selling it, you are just trying to survive even though you are in a humble position. You are trying to make up for your mistakes even though you are in a humble position, aren't you?"
Yang Yu's mind went blank. She stared at Ma Qiang's smiling face and didn't know what to say. Now, it seemed that there was no denying it. But could she just admit it?
Gu Dayong was also frightened. This incident came to light so quickly, which really caught him off guard. However, Zhang Yanling seemed to only know that this was Yang Yu's idea, and did not know that he was also involved, which was a good thing. However, it was also He cannot be allowed to take Yang Yu away. Otherwise, Yang Yu will not be able to drag himself into it.
"Yang Yu, what else do you have to say now that things have happened? If you are wise, just surrender and save yourself the trouble." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Yang Yu gritted her teeth and frowned, thinking of a solution. Gu Dayong suddenly said from the side: "Master Zhang, something is wrong."
Zhang Yanling said: "What's wrong?"
Gu Dayong said: "This Ma Qiang, our family has also heard from Commander Yang. He is the Jinyi Guard Qianhu of Ningxia Town. This is true. But isn't it normal for Commander Yang to have information exchanges with Ma Qiang? ?They are all members of the Jinyiwei Yamen. The superiors communicate with their subordinates and exchange information. What’s wrong? You can’t take people just because of this.”
When Yang Yu heard this, he immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, I exchange information with my subordinates. How can I become collaborators with the enemy?"
Chen Shiyi shouted angrily: "That's because Ma Qiang has already taken refuge with Zhu Chixiu, rebelled against the court, and became a traitor. If you communicate with him, what else is it if you are not collaborating with the enemy?"
Yang Yu was speechless for a moment, but Gu Dayong said: "This is wrong. How did Yang Yu know that Ma Qiang had defected to the enemy? He had been with our family in Lingzhou City, and Ma Qiang was in Ningxia City. The two sides only had news exchanges and did not know the real situation. How did Yang Yu know that Ma Qiang had surrendered to the enemy? At most, this was an oversight and a lack of caution. How can it be said to be a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy? No, no."
Yang Yu said loudly: "Yes, yes, I didn't know Ma Qiang had defected to the enemy at all. Until now, I still don't know that he had defected to the enemy. I was deceived by him. I thought he was still a member of my Jin Yiwei, so I made my guess. I told him the news that Chang Hou might raid Ningxia City. My original intention was to ask them to assist Mr. Zhang. Alas, I made an oversight and did something bad with good intentions. Mr. Zhang, Yang kowtows to you. Apologize, but Yang is definitely not a collaborator."
Zhang Yanling looked at Yang Yu coldly and said: "Yang Yu, it seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. These words are almost enough to deceive a three-year-old child. As a Shangguan, you didn't pay attention to the subordinates in Ningxia City after the rebellion. Have you already surrendered to the enemy and you rashly leaked important military information to him? Are you stupider than a pig? If you want to use such an excuse to prevaricate, will your Lord Marquis be deceived by you like this? It is obvious that you leaked the information on purpose. Using Ma Qiang's mouth to inform Zhu Zhixiu, I and my men were put to death. Isn't this collaboration with the enemy and rebellion?"
Yang Yu shouted: "That's nonsense. Zhu Zhixiu and I can't get along, so why should I do things for him?"
Zhang Yanling shouted: "Then who are you doing this for?"
Yang Yu blurted out: "I am serving Liu..."
As soon as the words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Yang Yu herself covered her mouth in shock.
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said: "You are indeed stupider than a pig. Who did you follow Liu's order to do this? Master Liu, General Liu, or... what Eunuch Liu?"
Yang Yu shouted: "That's nonsense. I didn't say anything. What you said to me was just an oversight."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Come here, get this guy for me. If you dare to resist, I will kill him on the spot."
"As ordered!" Several cavalry guards jumped off their horses, drew their swords and walked up the steps, approaching Yang Yu.
Yang Yu stepped back, holding the handle of the knife and shouted: "Who dares to do it? Who dares to do it?"
Gu Dayong said: "Master Zhang, this matter should be discussed in the long run. Ma Qiang's words may not be credible. There may be hidden secrets in it. Besides, even if Yang Yu is guilty, it is not your turn to hold him accountable. He is the Jinyiwei Yamen The person must be handed over to the Jinyiwei Yamen for disposal."
Zhang Yanling walked forward slowly, came to Gu Dayong, leaned into Gu Dayong's ear and said: "Eunuch Gu, if you don't want to get into this kind of trouble, you'd better stop blocking it. You're blocking the army from crossing the river. I haven't settled the score with you yet. You'd better know yourselves. Your Lord is not trying to scare you. I can kill everyone in this courtyard with just one order. I only need to report to the court later that you If you encounter the remnants of the rebels, just die bravely in battle. The imperial court will bury you in glory, and you will be the heroes of our Ming Dynasty. Do you want to be this hero?"
Gu Dayong had goosebumps all over his body, and his hands and feet began to feel cold.
"Master Zhang, you are threatening. Our family is... not afraid of your threats. Besides, if you don't want others to know, you can't hide it unless you do it yourself. You can't cover the city of Ningxia with your hands." Gu Dayong whispered.
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "So what? You stabbed me in the back and wanted to kill me, why should I be polite to you? Today I have no conclusive evidence to prove that your Eunuch Gu is involved in this matter, otherwise you would never be able to escape!" You'd better think clearly. Your Marquis is not someone to be trifled with. If you want to stand up for Yang Yu, I will do it with you, so what can I do?"
Gu Dayong broke out in a layer of sweat. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the generous side of the Marquis of Jianchang. Eunuch Liu would slap him in the face if he made him angry. He had seen it with his own eyes. In this Ningxia city , his troops are much more numerous than his own, and if he really goes crazy, he can do anything.
It seems that we can no longer help Yang Yu, but if this guy is captured by Zhang Yanling, everything will be revealed after being tortured to extract a confession. By then, won't Zhang Yanling still have to take his own life? But what to do?
Zhang Yanling saw Gu Dayong in a daze with his face covered with oil and sweat, but ignored him and shouted in a deep voice: "Yang Yu, don't resist, you can't escape today."
Several personal guards moved forward. Yang Yu took out the Xiuchun Dao in his hand and shouted sternly: "Who dares to attack me? I am the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei Yamen. Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Zhang Yin shouted: "Take it!"
Several personal guards raised their swords and came forward. Yang Yu shouted to the guards in uniform beside him: "You bastards, are you blind? Haven't you seen others bullying your Mr. Yang? Come on!"
Dozens of imperial guards standing around were stunned. When they heard this, they immediately became alert. Seven or eight of them drew their swords and gathered around, trying to surround the few guards who were holding people.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The roar of the bird cannon was deafening. Amidst the series of roars, seven or eight imperial guards in uniforms screamed and fell to the ground. Some were shot in the chest, and some had holes in their foreheads.
On the roof ridge not far away, a dozen bird gunners crawling above were rapidly reloading, and the smoke from the muzzles still lingered.
"You still dare to resist? Anyone who assists Yang Yu in resisting arrest will be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and will be killed on the spot." Zhang Yanling shouted sternly.
