Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 Misfortune Comes From Heaven
Lin Guodong knew that disaster was imminent when he saw Song Cheng appearing here, but he was very puzzled and said: "You...how did you chase here?"

At this time, the blood in the room had stained a large area of ​​the floor, and a bloody smell had already permeated from the inside.

While restraining Lin Guodong, the officials of Dali Temple also quickly entered the room to check, only to find that Zhao Qi and the other three had been killed.

It's just that these three people are not worthy of sympathy. They are destined to be silenced if they do such a thing to implicate the nine clans. It can only be said that they were blinded by greed.

"I was present at the time. Although I didn't notice the situation at the time of the shooting, it was impossible for a single Dahan to complete the shooting without the cover of his companions. When His Majesty handed over the case to this officer for trial, this officer decided to investigate Conspirator!" Song Cheng met Lin Guodong's perplexed gaze and said honestly.

Lin Guodong looked at Song Cheng strangely, and still asked in puzzlement: "As far as I know, you didn't torture Dahan at that time, so how did you suspect the three of them so quickly?"

"I was afraid that Dahan would get some wrong interference information, so I didn't rush to interrogate, but secretly asked Qian Yi and others to help. Although I can't be sure who was closest to Dahan at that time, the range can still be locked, and Zhang Long He and Li Hu were in a hurry to leave the camp, so I sent someone to follow them here!" Song Cheng saw the three dead bodies in the room, and also told his own investigation process.

Lin Guodong looked at Song Cheng with complicated eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Little God Jue really deserves his reputation! If you tried Dahan at that time, I'm afraid he would be led elsewhere now, and this case would become a case without a head! "

"You should tell me, why did you assassinate His Majesty? Who is your mastermind behind the scenes?" Song Cheng didn't feel complacent about it, and asked solemnly.

Lin Guodong knew that he was a dead end, so he said bitterly: "Your Majesty demoted me, and I feel resentful in my heart, so I did this rebellious act, and no one ordered it!"

As he said that, he closed his eyes, as if he wanted to bear everything.

"Come here, take him back to Dali Temple, and we will try again at my own discretion!" Song Cheng naturally knew that what Lin Guodong said was absolutely not true, so he waved his hand.

During the disturbance of the three major Beijing camps last time, the fates of the three commanders were actually different.

Zhou Lie, the commander of Yangwei Battalion, beheaded Ma Quan, the eunuch in charge of the army, on the spot. He was convicted of the crime of choice, so his home was ransacked, and Marquis Qingyun was implicated.

Luo Li, the commander of the training camp, countered the eunuch Gu Kaiyuan who was sent to take charge of the army. Fortunately, he was not killed, so he was beheaded for violating military discipline, and his family was not involved.

Compared with the above two commanders, Lin Guodong, the commander of the Guoyong Battalion, is undoubtedly very lucky.

Because the eunuch Gao Jin couldn't bear the intimidation and fled the camp at that time, mainly because the eunuch Gao Jin's psychological quality was too weak, Zhu Youtang did not kill Lin Guodong after weighing, but only demoted Lin Guodong to a hundred households.

In fact, in terms of handling, Zhu Youtang did nothing wrong.After all, the army is a place of fierce competition. Lin Guodong didn't do anything at that time, and he was considered a talent to scare Gao Jin away with just bluffing.

But no one thought that the former commander who had been demoted would feel resentful because of this, and planned the assassination of Zhu Youtang this time.

Of course, this is naturally an appearance, Lin Guodong is still playing the role of a pawn here, and someone else must have planned this assassination incident.

In the Qianqing Palace, sandalwood smoke curled up.

"Depose the Aegis camp?"

"Punishment Aegis camp?"

"Please reduce the Aegis camp?"

……

Zhu Youtang had just returned to the palace, and before he had time to reward the court lady Fan Jinling for his meritorious service, Zuo Shunmen sent a bunch of memorials.

As expected, these civil and military officials all pointed their finger at the Aegis Camp after learning of the assassination incident that happened in the Aegis Camp.

Zhu Youtang looked at the more than a dozen memorials in front of him. This group of people didn't care whether he, the emperor, was frightened. Instead, they were eager to jump out and label the Shield camp.
When it was almost dusk, Song Cheng came to report the case.

Zhu Youtang did not expect that it was Lin Guodong, the commander of the Yuanguo Yongying Camp. He thought he was a courageous talent, so he was merciful last time, but he did not expect that he would seek death in the end.

It's just that he has never been a woman's benevolent person. Since Lin Guodong committed such a serious crime of assassination, he should be dealt with as he should.

Zhu Youtang knew that the assassination was more formal, so he asked lightly: "Do you believe Lin Guodong's words?"

"Your Majesty, you were actually kind to him last time, and it is unreasonable for him to retaliate because of this, not to mention that this is a felony, so I think that there must be someone behind Lin Guodong. It's just that I have searched Lin Guodong's house just now, but there is no evidence. The slightest clue, and the room has obviously been cleaned, so please give me some more time!" Song Cheng looked serious and authentic.

Knowing that Song Cheng was an idealist, Zhu Youtang raised his eyes thoughtfully and said, "You didn't execute him?"

"Your Majesty, I'm trying to judge the case carefully. Severe punishment can easily force the prisoner to make a move and lead to unjust imprisonment! I beg you to allow a little more time, I will definitely expose the people behind the scenes!" Song Cheng thought of what happened to his family when he was young, and immediately Seriously.

Zhu Youtang found that what he had guessed was consistent, so he made a decision and said: "I am so relieved that you were able to find Lin Guodong so quickly! It's just that this case is not trivial. If you hand over the person to Dongchang, there is no need to reconsider the case." checked!"

"Of order!" Song Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still politely cupped his hands.

Seeing Song Cheng leave, Zhu Youtang turned his head to look at Guo Yong and said, "Guo Yong, your branch will make a call to Dongchang, and let Dongchang go to Dali Temple to pick up people!" After a pause, his eyes flashed and he said fiercely: "Be sure to let Lin Guodong speak up!"

Although the real intention of this stabbing was to prevent the growth of the Aegis Battalion, the arrow was aimed at him after all, and no matter what, he had to use it to slash him hard.

As for the real behind-the-scenes mastermind, it is actually not that important. After all, the most urgent thing for me now is to strengthen the army, and other details can be put aside for the time being.

"Obey!" Guo Yong knew that Zhu Youtang was going to torture Lin Guodong, so he cupped his hands murderously.

Following the news that Lin Guodong, the mastermind behind the scenes, was arrested, all the civil and military officials who had previously been slapped in the face of the SHIELD battalion in Shangshu also died down.

It's just that after hearing this news, the most nervous person is not the Dingguo government, but Zhang Mao from the British government.

"It's over, it's really over this time!"

When Zhang Mao learned that Lin Guodong had ordered Zhao Qi and others to assassinate him, Dang even fell down on the chair, muttering to himself constantly.

This year's British government can be said to have had bad luck.

Last time, when Zhang Mao was enjoying Wu Xun's sunny life at the Duke's mansion, he invited Lin Guodong, who had committed a crime, to his home to watch the play together.

It was this kind act that resulted in a Xiti North Town Fusi prison experience card, and was almost convicted of poisoning Wynn in the prison.

After finally getting out of the prison, it has not been a few days of comfortable life, but Lin Guodong, who has a deep relationship with him, actually assassinates the emperor, how can he get away with it?
"Father, you don't need to panic, my son has a plan to protect Daddy from prison, and also our British government!" Zhang Ming, who has already entered Jinyiwei, said in relief.

Zhang Mao knew that he, the third child, was the most shrewd, so he said hopefully, "What should I do?"

"Father, today's son insists on strengthening the army, but didn't uncle Fu Ninghou invite you to Chengguo Duke's mansion to discuss the matter of stopping the Shield camp?" Zhang Ming had already seen the situation of the court, and immediately pointed to the core.

Zhang Mao immediately frowned and said: "Ming'er, you are going to ask the emperor for your father..."

"That's right, as long as you report to the public, His Majesty will not think that this matter was done by our British government, and now our British government really has no intention of fighting with the court!" Zhang Ming's eyes flashed a stern look and said .

Zhang Mao couldn't help being moved, but he said with some scruples: "Once the matter gets out, how will our British government deal with it in the future?"

"Father, we want to protect ourselves now! When you were imprisoned last time, the Duke Cheng's mansion secretly suggested that His Majesty should be succeeded by his uncle. Why is his heart so vicious?" Zhang Ming added angrily.

According to the rule of succession to the eldest son of the title, the British dukedom was originally inherited by Zhang Mao's brother Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Mao was physically disabled, and it was widely rumored that Zhang Zhong's son Zhang Jie was not his own son, so Zhang Mao finally succeeded him.

Thinking of the small actions of Cheng Guogong's mansion, Zhang Mao immediately made up his mind and said: "Okay!"

It's just that this self-protection act by the British Duke Zhang Mao was like a spoonful of oil falling into a red-hot pot, and a new flame appeared in this assassination incident in an instant.
