Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 131 Cleansing the Warlords 2
When Zhu Di gave an order, Ning Yuan suddenly made waves.

Jian [-], Jian [-], and Jian [-] who sneaked into Ningyuan came out day and night, displaying their power in Ningyuan to the fullest, just like ghosts in the dark night, wantonly harvesting human lives.

Zu Dashou's family, in their sleep, let the three sword guards take their lives. They all cut their throats with one sword, and they didn't feel too much pain before they died.

"Master Yuan, I wonder if you have found anything about the death of our head coach."

Zu Dashou's whole family died, and his deputy generals Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others couldn't bear it any longer, and directly led troops into Yuan Chonghuan's residence, demanding Yuan Chonghuan to give an explanation.

They were certain that Yuan Chonghuan had killed Zu Dashou, and that he had killed Zu Dashou's family in a frenzy. In the entire Ningyuan City, only Yuan Chonghuan had the motive to kill Zu Dashou.

"The governor has not found any clues yet, but please rest assured, General Zu has lived and died for the country, and he and the governor are close friends. The governor will not let him die unjustly."

"The governor assures you that he will do his best to return justice to General Zu, bring the murderer behind the scenes to justice, and comfort General Zu's spirit in heaven."

Yuan Chonghuan tried his best to appease Zu Dashou's subordinates, but he almost took out his heart and liver to prove to everyone that he was indeed innocent!

He knew that Zu Dashou's subordinates would not believe what he said, but he had no choice but to appease these warlords and generals, other means would not work.

Hearing what Yuan Chonghuan said was sincere and did not seem to be fake, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other Zu Dashou's subordinates couldn't help but believe it a little bit, and their expressions eased.

"Let's go back and wait patiently. As soon as there is news of the murderer, the governor will send someone to notify you immediately."

Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan immediately struck while the iron was hot, hoping to temporarily dissuade Zu Dashou's subordinates.

As for the murderer who killed Zu Dashou, it's not that he didn't investigate, it's just that the investigation was useless, he couldn't even find a trace of him, and he was already planning to give up.

Every word he said was just nonsense to stabilize Zu Dashou's subordinates. When the money sent by the court arrives, Zu Dashou's death can be overshadowed!

He knew very well in his heart that Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other subordinates of Zu Dashou held him because of their loyalty to Zu Dashou. sex".

They were afraid that he, Yuan Chonghuan, would kill them all, and they intended to strike first. After all, in the eyes of Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others, he was the murderer who killed Zu Dashou.

So what they cared about from the beginning to the end was not the murderer, but Yuan Chonghuan's attitude, an attitude that reassured Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other Zu Dashou's subordinates.

If his attitude is in place, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, and Cao Gongcheng will naturally stop there; if his attitude is not in place, just wait to fight to the death!
With this attitude, what could be more sincere than silver?
Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and the others looked at each other, they all hung their heads on their trouser belts for a living, and they didn't want to fight Yuan Chonghuan.

So he borrowed the donkey from the slope, and said: "I hope Governor Yuan can give us an answer as soon as possible, my coach can't die in vain."

Afterwards, he withdrew from Yuan Chonghuan's residence with his soldiers and horses. Before leaving, they were all out of their sheaths, obviously still wary of Yuan Chonghuan.

"damn it."

With a punch on the beam and pillar, Yuan Chonghuan was so angry that his lungs would explode. He couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes to put him in such a dilemma.

Build slaves?

Unlike, although Huang Taiji, the leader of Jiannu, is a character, he has not yet been able to extend his tentacles to Ningyuan.

Court?

It's even more impossible. Although Yuan Chonghuan is not in the court, he knows the situation in the court very well. He is incapable of controlling Ning Yuan.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't think of a reason, so he could only convene the generals of Ningyuan to discuss the matter, and first press down the death of Zu Dashou's family.

Zu Dashou was far more than the only warlord who died under the swords of the three guards, but those small warlords were swallowed up by other warlords immediately after the leader's death, and their influence was far inferior to Zu Dashou.

Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, He Kegang, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other generals gathered in the general hall, either sitting upright or with serious faces.
The death of Zu Dashou was still very deterrent to them. They were afraid that they would become the next Zu Dashou. Not only would they die, but their whole family would also die together.

"General Zu was brutally murdered by gangsters, and all the loyal family members died. This governor intends to go to the court to ask for the title of General Zu. We must not let Zhongliang not get the reward he deserves after his death."

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan came, he pretended to wipe two drops of crocodile tears and said in a very sad way.

It is one of the old traditions that have lasted for many years to ask for a seal after death. As long as you do not commit a major crime of treason, as long as you have some credit, you can be promoted to a noble after death.

This is also a way for the imperial court to win people's hearts. Anyway, if people are dead, no matter how rewarding they are, it is just a useless imperial decree, and there is no need to pay any substantive benefits.

This is how Xu Da, Tang He, Li Wenzhong and other founding fathers became kings after their deaths.

"Did Governor Yuan find out who the murderer was who killed General Zu's family?"

Zhao Lengjiao asked.

Whether Zu Dashou is dead or not, no one cares. It doesn't matter whether Zu Dashou is granted a seal or not. The important thing is to find the murderer as soon as possible. Otherwise, these generals will not be able to sleep well.

No one is sure whether he will be the next one to be targeted by the murderer.

Man Gui, He Kegang, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and others also set their sights on Yuan Chonghuan, and what Zhao Rate asked was what they wanted to know.

People like Man Gui, He Kegang, and Zhao Lijiao who are loyal to Daming are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die at the hands of an unknown killer. Even if they die, they should die on the battlefield.

Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other warlord leaders are only afraid of death. They have a lot of wealth, they haven't enjoyed enough, and they don't want to die.

"No trace of the gangster has been found yet."

It’s okay if you don’t mention this, but Yuan Chonghuan will give you a headache when you mention it, so you can only talk about him, saying: "The governor has ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and he is looking for the whereabouts of the gangsters. Even if the gangsters don’t dare to continue rampant."

"I came to all the generals to tell you that the military salary sent by the imperial court will arrive soon. Which general is willing to go out of the city to meet the imperial envoy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly understood what Yuan Chonghuan meant. It was a lie to welcome the imperial envoy, and it was serious business to discuss how to distribute the military pay sent by the imperial court.

In Ningyuan City, there are dozens of warlords, big and small, and the military salary is so little, who gets more and who gets less, is a question worth studying.

"Ugh"

Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, He Kegang and other people who cared about Ming Dynasty sighed helplessly, and they took the military salary issued by the court as an opportunity to fill their own pockets. These people are hopeless!
But they can't do anything about it. Although they have military power, they are soft-spoken and unable to change this situation. They can only turn a blind eye. The soldiers under them also need military pay to support their families.

If you join forces with these warlords, you will definitely be targeted collectively, they will receive less military pay, and the soldiers below will have a harder time. From the perspective of the overall situation, they can only follow the same trend.
