Blood from Daming

Chapter 181
In the name of Dongchang, Yan Sanniang publicly tried the bully "Li Jinggou" in Kaifeng Prefecture. She received the victims of the "Li Jinggou" case and their family members in Paifang Street for three consecutive days, and accepted a total of 180 cases of "Li Jinggou". Because of factors such as the long distance and ignorance, as long as the facts are clear, Dongchang will file a public prosecution and handle the case.

The case of "Li Jinggou" has been investigated and confirmed to involve 50 articles, among which "Li Jinggou" robbed other people's property and caused five deaths, and committed revenge and murdered four people, resulting in the death of female victims in four cases. There were more than 18 cases of women under his command, causing eight women to hang themselves, take poison, and throw themselves into wells to death.

Yan Sanniang notified Feng Jiahui, governor of Henan Province, and officials of Kaifeng Prefecture to assist in handling the case, but failed to get a response, and adopted the method of public election of people's representatives, and elected ten representatives of Kaifeng Prefecture's people to monitor the whole process of handling the case. The property of "Li Jinggou" was seized. matters and so on.

On the eighth day after Yan Sanniang arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, in the name of Dongchang, 11 people "Li Jinggou" and lackeys were sentenced to beheaded on Paifang Street, 15 people were sentenced to varying degrees of rod punishment, and the victims' various property and house values ​​were returned. More than 15 taels of silver, and the rest has been lost or cannot be used as the original, and the discounted silver will be used to pay the victim and his family a total of more than 3 taels of silver.

The property of nearly 3 taels that was not received by the victim was jointly kept by ten representatives of the common people. After the identity of the victim was determined, it was returned to the victim and his family members according to relevant procedures, and the remaining 6 taels of "Li Jinggou" property was disposed of. As for the property of silver, Yan Sanniang will give the victims who were killed, killed, injured, disabled and other losses by "Li Jinggou" a spiritual condolence gold of more than 1 taels of silver, and the remaining [-] taels of silver will be used as aftermath expenses To build a temple for the burial of the ownerless and lonely souls who were killed by "Li Jinggou".

"Li Jinggou" and his accomplices were beheaded. Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion clapped their hands and took to the streets to celebrate. The cancer and scourge of Kaifeng Mansion for many years was finally eliminated. Paifang Street was crowded with people in front of Xue's Mansion, and some victims were very grateful. Those who came to kowtow to thank, some people came to thank Yan Sanniang for killing the Kaifeng mansion, and the victims of other cases came to complain. Of course, most of them were spectators.

Yan Sanniang and the others had no choice but to hide in Xue's mansion. In fact, all the officials in Kaifeng City had been paying close attention to Yan Sanniang's actions. Sanniang even thawed Li Jingbai's property, and the officials of Henan Province heaved a long sigh of relief. The chief minister and Tao Zhifu believed that Li Jingbai would not shake face with everyone because of a nephew, and some of them went to talk to them. The Xue family in the capital shook their hands.

Yan Sanniang had been in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time. On the day when the "Li Jinggou" case was executed, when Kaifeng Mansion was about to close the city gate, she led more than 100 men from the Great South Gate and galloped south quickly. Most of the people in Kaifeng Mansion had no time to see Yan Sanniang and the others off.

Many people were grateful for Yan Sanniang's merits, and they raised funds to build a temple to commemorate Yan Sanniang. The people of Kaifeng Prefecture thought that a big man was still needed to sit in the town, so they enshrined the gilded statue of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Bingbi and the admiral of Dongchang, in the temple. The golden statue, Yan Sanniang is a woman who only enjoys incense in the side hall. The first living temple of Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei in the Ming Dynasty appeared outside the Nanxun Gate of Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, and the incense was in full swing. The continuous flow of people slowly became a major resort in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the influence of the Shengci later far exceeded the original intention of the kind people at that time.

The [-] Datong army led by Xue Yun entered the border of Mongolia after three days of marching. When it was dark, Xue Yun's army joined the [-] Qingqi of General Xue Liu and began to set up camp across a small stream from the Mongolian army. Xue Liu had already set up the battalions, and the [-] Ming troops quickly set up their camps. After a burst of cooking smoke, the soldiers had a hot dinner.

In Xue Yun's central army tent, a group of middle and senior generals of the Datong Army of the Ming Army gathered, including Xue Yun, Xue Liu, Commander Datong Wei Luo, General Li Xiaoyong Qian, General Yu Siqian, General Ji Tianen Qian, and You Qian. The general manager and the captain of the personal army Wang Erwa, general manager Fang Qian under General Zhang Shen, Peng Langjun, the "flower picker" Peng Langjun, and other part of the general manager and civilian staff also participated in the audition.

General Xue Liu, who had already met Xue Yun, first told everyone about the situation of the Ming army and the Mongolian army: "The Mongolian army on the opposite side of the creek is mainly composed of the Chahar and Horqin tribes of Mongolian Lindan Khan. There are Khalkha tribe, Chahan tribe, original Duoyan remnant tribe, and some small tribes in Monan. Since their main goal is to retaliate against the Ming army in Xuanfu, our Datong cavalry has adopted countermeasures of surveillance and defense. So far We did not have a major conflict with the Mongolian army."

Most of Xue Yun's subordinates know the relationship between the boss and Harizhula of the Horqin Department. Even Commander Luo and Mr. You Qian know it well. Knowing that Xue Yun's true thoughts are all boring and no one speaks.

Xue Yun: "Do you have any good suggestions, please speak up and listen to them."

Xue Liu, Commander of Datong Wei Luo and other generals said in unison: "Respectfully obey the general's order."

Xue Yun: "Sixth brother, what's the situation with Xuanfu?"

Xue Liu: "Governor of Xuanhua, Wang Guozhen, suffered several defeats in the past, and now he is defending the city and never comes out again. The entire Xuanhua area can almost let the Mongols graze their horses."

All the generals under Xue Yun laughed when they heard this. It is no wonder that the Datong Army and the Jianzhou Tartars were killed some time ago. Not only did the Xuanfu not send a single soldier to help the Datong side, they even secretly encouraged all parties The forces make it difficult for Xue Yun's subordinates, and they regard Datong Xue Yun as a thorn in his side and want to get rid of it quickly.

Xue Yun followed suit with a smile: "Everyone will strictly guard the barracks when they go back, and they are not allowed to go out to fight in waves. The imperial court's intention is to appease them first and then suppress them. Let's talk to Mongolia first."

All the generals bid farewell to Xue Yun and walked out of the camp, only Xue Yun and Xue Liu were left in the big tent, and Wang Erwa tactfully withdrew from the tent to watch.

Xue Yun and Xue Liu were sitting very close to each other, Xue Liu said, "Young Madam is waiting for you to go over quickly, Young Master."

Xue Yun: "Is this appropriate?"

Xue Liu: "It's suitable. My camp is facing the young lady's silver tent. When it gets dark, some young masters will arrive directly across the creek."

Xue Yun pondered, Xue Liu: "Young Master, my 3000 people have almost been brainwashed by our people. The people in charge of that section of Xiaoxigou are all my cronies arranged by me. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

Xue Yun: "Okay, this cheating in the enemy camp is romantic and exciting, I like it."

Xue Liu: "Young Madam said, there is a surprise waiting for you, Young Master."

Xue Yun: "Could it be that Harijula ​​has already given birth?"

Xue Liu: "I heard that the young master's soldiers and horses were able to arrive at Sanxikou today. I met the young lady at Xiaoxi in the morning. The young lady sent her men to send a letter an hour earlier, and there was no mention of the birth."

Xue Yun: "Don't worry about him, the two of us are talking about business, and I'll find out when I go there later."

Xue Liu: "Young Madam's subordinates have suffered a great loss this time, and they are still not relieved. Will the Young Master mess with Xuanfu a few more times?"

Xue Yun: "Sixth brother, you forgot that you are an official soldier, how come you are addicted to pretending to be a Mongolian, most of those who were hurt were the people of Ming Dynasty, I told you to create border troubles as a last resort, Now we still have to find a way to end the tension between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia earlier, so as not to let the Nurhachi tribe in Jianzhou take advantage of it."

Xue Yun: "If it wasn't for the young master coming to the side wall, I would have led my troops to rob the caravan in Zhangjiakou."

Xue Yun immediately drew his attention and asked, "Sixth brother, tell me about the Zhangjiakou caravan."

Xue Liu: "Master, according to reliable sources, a business group from Shanxi set off for the Horqin region of Mongolia to do foreign trade about three days ago. Alas, it's not easy to start with Wu Keshan now."

Xue Yun: "Sixth Brother, you must have sold it to Wu Keshan."

Xue Liu: "Master, it seems that it was sold to the chief of Mierliang, a vassal tribe of the Horqin tribe, and the chief of Mierliang was sent to the Kahan tribe, the Khalkha tribe, and the Horqin tribe to profit from it."

Xue Yun pondered for a while before saying: "Sixth brother, there is something wrong here, maybe it is the supplies sold to Jianzhou Nurhachi."

Xue Yun: "Master, this is possible, but what if it is really for Horqin's tribes?"

Xue Yun: "The Horqin Tribe and the Chahar Lindan Khan Tribe are friendly with my Ming Dynasty and can buy Datong's southern goods at a fair price. Moreover, these two tribes made a fortune last year. Didn't you say that Lin Danhan is still there? Concubine Namuzhong asked for property worth about 50 silver. These two tribes are still short of southern goods. The tribes of the Khalkha tribe attached to Jianzhou were beaten badly by our Datong army. Those who stayed on the grassland Most of them are poor ghosts and how much they can buy, the biggest buyer should be Jianzhou Houjin."
