"Don't make random guesses." Duan Tianming smiled lightly and walked towards Zhang Jin, "As the right-hand member of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Qianhu, Baoding Mansion and his party, their purpose is not to find the fault of Dongchang and prepare to attack Dongchang.
Are you going to take action? These things today are just Dongchang's retaliation to Jin Yiwei."
"Dongchang?!" Zhang Jin's face was ashen, and he let go of his right hand, and the delicate embroidered spring knife he held in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
"No, don't throw it away. The Xiuchundao is the status symbol of your Jinyiwei Qianhu. How can you let go of such an important thing casually?" Duan Tianming hurriedly walked over, picked up Zhang Jin's Xiuchundao, and put it away.
It went into the scabbard on his waist.
"I fell into your hands, you can do whatever you want!" Zhang Jin slowly closed his eyes and seemed to have accepted his fate.
"Don't worry, Zhang Qianhu, we will definitely deal with you. However, the biggest purpose of our trip is not you." Duan Tianming waved his right hand, and two Dongchang captains came over with a pair of bright silver iron ropes.
The shackles were placed on Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin showed no resistance and allowed the other party to lock him up. He closed his mouth tightly and refused to open his eyes again.
"Hahaha, is Zhang Qianhu planning to keep silent and protect his master to the death?" Duan Tianming laughed, "I'm afraid that no matter how hard you try, you can't protect your Ma Tongzhi. And your action this time
, not only will Ma Yunshan be dismissed, but Xu Kaiying will also be implicated. Alas, the dignified Jinyiwei has to completely replace its top management because of you."
"Coming to Magou Town this time is purely my own behavior. It has nothing to do with Ma Tongzhi, nor does it have anything to do with the commander." After hearing the consequences of Duan Tianming's words, Zhang Jin opened his eyes and tried hard to distinguish.
"Oh, really?" Duan Tianming chuckled, "Just think that I am a fool and want to believe what you say, but you suddenly came to Magou Town and prepared to attack me. Could it be that you were originally with Shopkeeper Ma next to you?
Just a familiar acquaintance, here to give him a leg up?"
"Yes, Zhang Qianhu and I have known each other before." Before Zhang Jin could speak, Ma Lianshan answered hurriedly.
When he heard that his elder brother was going to be dragged down, Ma Lianshan felt extremely anxious. His normally shrewd mind was a little messed up because of worry.
"Really? You are really old friends?" Duan Tianming couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he kept teasing each other, "You know each other because of Ma Yunshan, right?"
"Yes, when my eldest brother came back to visit relatives, he took Zhang Qianhu with him. We have become familiar with each other."
"Before, when was it before?"
"Probably during the Chinese New Year last year." Ma Lianshan said without thinking.
"Last year, or the year before last?" Duan Tianming asked deliberately.
"Last year, no, it should be the year before last. Yes, it was the year before last. When my eldest brother came back for the New Year, he took Zhang Qianhu with him." Malianshan said seriously.
"Are you sure you remember correctly?"
"No, I remember correctly." Ma Lianshan nodded affirmatively.
Walking to Malianshan, Duan Tianming raised his right hand and patted him twice on the shoulder: "Do you know what Dongchang is?"
"Don't know?" Ma Lianshan shook his head.
"Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both agencies directly under the emperor. Originally, the two complemented each other and were never hostile. However, after your eldest brother Ma Yunshan was promoted by the emperor to the commanding officer of Jinyiwei, his self-confidence increased and he actually wanted to attack Dongchang.
, so that his Jin Yiwei can cover the sky with one hand. Dongchang people have no other characteristics, but they have a very strong reaction in terms of hating evil. To tell you the truth, we came to Magou Town just to target Ma Yunshan and prepare to kill him. You
If you want to help him, you must think of your words carefully. One wrong word may put him in ruins."
"I remember correctly, Zhang Qianhu and I met the year before last." Malianshan answered affirmatively.
"Alas." Duan Tianming let out a long sigh, "Are your parents still alive?"
"No more." Ma Lianshan shook his head.
"So, you and your eldest brother are the only ones left in the entire Ma family?"
"yes."
"Ma Yunshan, even if he is not punished to death this time, Dongchang will definitely find ways to kill him. Therefore, you are the only one left in the Ma family who may survive. I will give you some time to recover properly.
Organize your words and don't think about protecting Ma Yunshan. As long as you tell the truth, I can try to save your life in this matter and leave a trace of incense in your old Ma family."
Ma Lianshan understood that this was just a psychological tactic of the other party. Its purpose was just to seek self-protection and to say something unfavorable to his elder brother.
Duan Tianming really thought so.
As long as the other party tells the truth happily, he can bring all the relevant people to the Ministry of Punishment, and let the Ministry of Punishment make a solid case, and then report it to the emperor, and capture all the commanders and commanders of Jin Yiwei.
After all, Dongchang still has a lot of things to do, and this kind of internal fight with Jin Yiwei really shouldn't take too much time.
"It was the year before last that Zhang Qianhu and I met. And in this matter, I personally invited Zhang Qianhu to come over to help. All this has nothing to do with big brother." Ma Lianshan still stubbornly insisted.
"I don't want to waste time, you are really stubborn. That's all." Duan Tianming shook his head, "The year before last, Ma Yunshan was just the head of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Jin was a former military member of the Tianjin Guard. Both of them
There is no possibility of intersection. If you say that Ma Yunshan brought Zhang Jin to Magou Town, are you an idiot or am I an idiot?"
"Zhang Qianhu and eldest brother have known each other before. They didn't just meet in Jinyiwei." Malianshan refused to give up and continued to quibble.
"Thousands of households in front of the army are the fifth-rank military attachés of the imperial court. The head of the Ministry of Rites is just a sixth-rank civil servant with no real power. You said Ma Yunshan took Zhang Jin? How could Ma Yunshan be so virtuous? At that time, he could let a thousand-rank official
Hu'an is behind the scenes? You, if you don't understand court affairs, don't cause trouble. The more you talk, the more you betray yourself." Duan Tianming turned his head and looked at Zhang Jin, who was in shackles, "Am I right, Zhang Qianhu?"
"All this was done by me and has nothing to do with anyone else. Since it has fallen into the hands of Dongchang, I will kill or behead him as you wish." Zhang Jin twisted his shoulders and neither answered nor made the slightest judgment.
"Kill you? Cut you up? Do you think you deserve it?" Seeing the other party's kindness, Duan Tianming suddenly became angry, "To be honest, your appearance just made Ma Yunshan die faster. Do you think
Can you withstand everything on your own?"
"My eldest brother doesn't know anything. His Majesty is wise and will never believe your words. This matter is our personal doing. If you want to deal with it, just deal with us. If you want to implicate eldest brother with this matter, do you really think
Are all the officials of the imperial court ignorant?" Malian Mountain Pass shouted loudly.
"Are you trying to say that even though Zhang Jin had the motive to kill, he did not cause any negative consequences? Therefore, even if we have to deal with you, we will never deal with you too severely. Are you so unscrupulous?"
"This is the truth, what else do you want?" Ma Lianshan twisted his neck, looking like he was wondering how you framed us.
Duan Tianming smiled coldly, and slowly touched the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand.
"You, what are you going to do?" Ma Lianshan stepped back subconsciously.
Duan Tianming did not return, and the sword on his waist was suddenly unsheathed.
A "click" sound was heard, and the saber was already sheathed.
"Ah, ah..." Malianshan covered his left shoulder with his right hand, and the miserable scream of pain surged out of his throat and swirled in the night sky.
On the ground next to him, his whole arm was lying quietly on the ground. His little finger could not help but twitch slowly a few times.
"If you encounter resistance while handling a case, you can only suppress it with force. Dongchang does not need a reason to do things. Do you understand now?" Duan Tianming said slowly, looking at Ma Lianshan, whose entire face was deformed in pain.
At this moment, everyone on the construction site was shocked.
If the knife that the captain of the East Factory slapped on the housekeeper's face a few days ago made everyone fearful, then the knife that cut off Malianshan's arm just now completely made everyone lose the courage to resist.
Even Zhang Jin, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, was a little shocked by Duan Tianming's sudden stabbing.
This is the gap, this is the gap between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang. Dongchang's decisiveness and fearlessness, Jin Yiwei never even has the skin of.
"Kill me." Malianshan howled loudly and painfully, blood gushed out from the wound he was covering with his right hand, and his whole body was covered in plasma.
"Kill you? I will definitely kill you. However, you alone are not enough. You and your father-in-law must be killed together with the magistrate of Lantian."
"My father-in-law kindly took you in, but you turned around and wanted to kill him. You are really a white-eyed wolf." Ma Lianshan shouted loudly, almost unable to speak clearly. The pain on his shoulders made him almost unconscious.
"Take me in? Even if you take me in, the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that murderers must pay for their lives. As a county magistrate who breaks the law, the crime will be increased. There is nothing I can do."
"We did not kill Zhang Xi's father. He returned home and died because he delayed treatment." Thinking that Duan Tianming was talking about this, Ma Lianshan hurriedly made a conclusion.
"The cause of Zhang's father's death was caused by your wife Yang Yuhuan. Her crime will be dealt with separately by the Ministry of Punishment. I'm not talking about this life, I'm talking about the down-and-out scholar in Magou Town." Staring at Malianshan, Duan
Tianming was confident and defeated the opponent's psychological defense step by step.
"Wanquan? Wanquan took my compensation money and went to Xi'an Mansion to look for his younger brother. Everyone in Zhang Xi can testify to this. Don't make false accusations against a good person." Malianshan's face was red, and his eyes were red. He didn't know whether it was because of pain or whether it was true.
I was so anxious that I stared at him.
Duan Tianming was startled, this Ma Lianshan was really tough-talking.
He shook his head and said slowly: "If you don't cry until you see the coffin, I'm talking about people like you. I've come to this point, and you still harbor illusions and make excuses?"
He turned his head and said to the captain of the Dongchang School behind him: "According to the list I gave, arrest all relevant people. Early tomorrow morning, we will take everyone to the river to dig up corpses."
