Chapter 184 Horror Metamorphosis

Chapter 184 Horror! Deterioration!

A quarter of an hour later!

Soldiers from the Infantry Command Yamen finally arrived, but it was already too late.

The battle is over.

Most of the thugs who came to attack Su Yi's residence were already dead.

There are five more alive.

The officers of the infantry commander's office were shocked. Is Su Yi's domestic slave left in the capital so fierce?

The leader turned out to be a beautiful woman.

Wang Tianyang's sister Wang Shengnan is an absolute social terrorist who likes to solve problems with her fists.

The officers of the infantry commander's office could clearly see that there were only a dozen or so people standing with swords in Su Yi's home.

But he killed all the murderers several times his own number.

Then, the troops from Dali Temple also arrived.

Su Quan stepped forward and held his hands.

Li Si, the young minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward and whispered: "Brother, what should I do?'

This is Li Qi's elder brother and one of Su Yi's friends.

Su Quandao: "Brother Li, you shouldn't have come."

When the Jiujiang prefecture was vacant, many people thought that Su Yi would recommend Li Si because he was one of the few friends in the court.

Now that Su Yi and the emperor have an antagonistic relationship, in the eyes of many people, it is too late to hide from Su Yi and his family.

Tian Yugong will be unlucky, and Li Si will also be unlucky.

Everyone is waiting for when the emperor will attack these two people.

In the end, Li Si came in person.

And what he said seemed very interesting.

What should I do?

In Li Si's mind, he felt that Su Yi was directing and acting on his own.

Su Quan said bitterly: "Master Li, this is a real murderer. We are not acting. After you arrest him, you will have a good trial."

Immediately afterwards, the official from the infantry commander's office immediately stepped forward and said, "What did you say?"

Obviously he was worried about what Li Si and Su Quan were whispering.

Li Sidao: "Sir, can we take these corpses and these living people away and interrogate them together?"

The official of the Infantry Command Yamen said: "Of course!"

Li Si stepped forward and said, "Please close the door."

He did not say that I would leave soldiers and horses to protect me, because this kind of protection would probably turn into house arrest and surveillance.

But he didn't say anything. The infantry commander's office said rudely: "Leave thirty people to protect Su Yi's family."

"嗻!"

Then, the thirty people from the infantry commander's office took the opportunity to stay.

……………………………………………………

Inside Sanxi Hall!

The emperor's first reaction after hearing about the attack on Su Yi's home was that Su Yi was directing and acting.

"Send someone immediately to keep an eye on Su Yi's house to prevent his family from escaping!"

"Completely prevent his house from catching fire and other accidents."

"To completely prevent his family from taking the opportunity to escape."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Shuntian Prefecture will investigate together to find out who these murderers are?"

"Get to the bottom of it!"

Next, the three agencies reviewed the case overnight.

Hundreds of people and thousands of manpower were dispatched.

Based on confessions, hundreds of people were arrested.

The three remaining survivors of these murderers were interrogated repeatedly.

The governor of Shuntian, the minister of Dali Temple, and the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan were all present.

Even the infantry commander's office was present.

Military Minister Du Han also served as the emperor's imperial envoy and supervised on-site.

The purpose is very clear and must be thoroughly investigated to get to the bottom of it. No one can pretend to be a ghost.

Because in the eyes of the emperor, Du Han and others, this must be Su Yi directing and acting.

Under such tremendous pressure, the case quickly came to light.

Then, Du Han and others were completely embarrassed.

All the evidence, all the confessions, all point to two people.

The son of Dexing'a and the son of Weng Tongshu.

Half of these murderers were Nian troops who fled to the capital, and half were bandits from Shanxi.

Moreover, they also said that someone had taken care of everything. As long as they rushed in, killed all Su Yi's family members, and then escaped immediately, nothing would happen.

This money is easy to make.

Someone above was happy to see Su Yi's family killed.

It has nothing to do with Su Yi at all. It seems that they use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.

……………………………………………………

Early the next morning!

Du Han went to the palace to report.

The emperor immediately asked: "Have you checked whether Su Yi directed and acted in it?"

Du Han shook his head and said, "No."

That didn't reveal who was behind it.

The emperor asked: "Who is that?"

Du Han said: "The third son of Weng Tongshu and the eldest son of Dexing'a. Twenty-nine people were hired as desperadoes. They spent a total of eight thousand taels of silver. They also said that everything had been taken care of. They killed Su Yi's whole family and immediately Escape cleanly and no one will catch you.”

The emperor was shocked.

It wasn't Su Yi who did it?

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, there will be trouble next, because Dali Temple is also participating in the trial, and Tian Yugong and Su Yi have an irreconcilable relationship, so the facts of this case may be leaked. If we really want to pursue the case, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's son, Either he will be sentenced to Qiu Judgment or Ning Guta will be exiled."

For such a serious crime, he must be executed.

but……

Dexing'a is dead, Weng Tongshu is dead, and it seems understandable that his son should go to avenge his father.

Of course, the emperor could be forgiven for not caring about this.

He only cares about political impact.

"The truth of this case is kept secret and cannot be leaked." The emperor said: "What do you think should be done about these two behind-the-scenes instigators?"

Du Han thought for a while and said: "De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu were kidnapped and killed as imperial envoys. They sacrificed their lives for the country. It would be too ungrateful and heartless to attack their children immediately, and the court would seem too merciless." "

"So, these two people are placed under house arrest at home and are not allowed to go out even half a step."

Du Han's words were not fully explained. Because the case could not be made public, the two men could not be convicted. The reason why the case cannot be made public is because if it is made public, it will put the court at a disadvantage and give Su Yi the initiative in public opinion.

The emperor nodded and said: "Let's do it!"

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, it was not easy to send troops to surround Su Yi's home before. Now it is just right to surround Su Yi's family in the name of protection."

The emperor said: "Call two hundred people to protect Su Yi's family."

Wang Chenggui outside said: "Hey!"

Half an hour later!

Two hundred soldiers from the infantry command yamen marched outside Su Yi's residence.

Guard every position outside the courtyard.

……………………………………………………

Jiangnan camp handsome tent!

The deaths of imperial ministers Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu received an even stronger impact here.

You know, He Guiqing personally came to the Jiangnan camp to lend troops to Weng Tongshu, and he even planned to follow Weng Tongshu to take office in Jiujiang.

When the news reached his ears, He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, was covered with ice and cold. He hid under the thick quilt and felt shivering.

He couldn't help but think that it was a good thing it was on a canal section.

What if it was attacked on the Yangtze River? Then maybe he is also on the boat.

Next, a lot of discussions were held in the entire Jiangnan camp and the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

At first, everyone felt that this must be Su Yi's doing.

But as time went by, these people thought the same as the officials in the capital.

A smart person like Su Yi wouldn't do such a crazy thing, right?

Not at all.

This...is tantamount to rebellion.

Even if Su Yi was dismissed from office, he would still have a chance to revive in the future, not to mention that he had not been dismissed from office at this time.

And once this happens, all suspicious eyes will be on Su Yi.

At this moment, Zhang Guoliang rushed in and said, "Sir, look!"

"Rebellion against the city gate of Tianjing, the puppet capital."

He Chun, the head coach of the Jiangnan camp, and He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, rushed out.

He picked up the telescope and looked at the Tianjing City Gate not far away.

Jiangnan Camp and Tianjing are so close that they can indeed be seen clearly.

I saw hundreds of heads hanging on the Chaoyang Gate.

All of them had ferocious expressions.

He Guiqing began to search and immediately found two familiar heads.

Weng Tongshu, Dexing A.

You don't even need to look for them, because there are banners hanging under the two heads with their names written on them.

After reading, He Guiqing and He Chun looked at each other.

I don't know why, but I breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yi's suspicion has been dispelled a bit.

This feeling of relief also disappeared a bit.

If it was Su Yi who did it, it would be terrible. He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, would always feel like a thorn in his back.

But why?

He Chun said: "There is no reason for Fa Ni to do this. They rarely go deep into the canal and take the risk to ambush Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu? It feels like there is no reason. There is no deep hatred between these two people and Fa Ni, although they once In the Jiangbei Camp, there was no decent result against Fa Ni at all, and in terms of hatred, the person Fa Ni hates the most is Su Yi. "

He Guiqing said: "Yes, the person I hate most for being rebellious is Su Yi."

Zhang Guoliang, who was standing next to him, said: "In the battle in Yangzhou, Su Yi won a complete victory and wiped out countless Fa Ni. In the battle in Jiangxi, Su Yi wiped out tens of thousands of Fa Ni's troops, and even recovered Jiujiang and Nanchang, causing Fa Ni to lose nearly 100,000 troops. Half of the land. So Fa Ni hates Su Yi deeply."

He Chun said: "So, the purpose of killing Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu was to drive a wedge between the court and Su Yi? But this is wrong. If you want to frame Su Yi, you shouldn't hang their heads out. ah."

Zhang Guoliang said: "How did Fa Ni know about Weng Tongshu and De Xing'a's itinerary? They must have been secretly informed by officials of the Qing Dynasty."

"Then who is this Qing official?"

He Chun said: "Everyone's instinctive reaction must be Su Yi, but... I think it is more likely to be Zeng Guofan."

"Nowadays, there are only two groups of people who hate Su Yi the most and want to drive him away. One is the rebels and the other is the Hunan Army."

"The Hunan Army could have captured the entire Jiangxi, but Su Yi usurped the governor of Jiangxi, and Shen Baozhen even rebelled. As long as Su Yi is driven away, the entire Jiangxi will belong to the Hunan Army."

"Fa Ni is also most afraid of Su Yi. He is so good at fighting. Originally, Fa Ni had only one real opponent in the south, and that was the Hunan Army. Now there is Su Yi. As long as Su Yi is driven away, they will be under pressure Big reduction.”

"In fact, if the court can force Su Yi to rebel, Su Yi will be even more happy to rebel."

Then, Zhang Guoliang said: "Sir, would you like to report this idea to the emperor?"

Next to him, He Gui, the governor of Liangjiang, said in a cold voice: "One more thing is worse than one less thing."

He Guiqing wished that Su Yi would be unlucky.

Now the court is suspicious of Su Yi. As soon as the foreigners retreat, the emperor will take action against Su Yi. How can He Guiqing clarify for Su Yi?

And right now.

The Chaoyang Gate of Tianjing opened, and a soldier rushed out, actually running directly towards the Jiangnan Camp.

The Jiangnan Camp was immediately facing a great enemy.

"This is a letter from the Heavenly Kingdom to your court. Hand over the traitor Wei Jun immediately, either alive or dead."

"Exchange Wei Jun's head for the heads of De Xing'a, Weng Tongshu and other 500 people."

"If you don't agree, we will continue to rob and kill any of your official ships!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you!"

Then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldier shot an arrow directly.

The sharp arrow was nailed to the flagpole, and a piece of paper was stuck on it.

Pull out the arrow and open the paper.

The handwriting on it was very sloppy and murderous.

Sure enough, it said what the soldier said, using Wei Jun's head to exchange De Xing'a, Weng Tongshu and other 500 heads, and no longer allowed to recruit any generals and officials of the Heavenly Kingdom. If not allowed, the Heavenly Kingdom will indiscriminately attack any Qing Dynasty official ships on the canal and the river.

He Chun, the commander of the Jiangnan camp, glanced at He Guiqing.

"Send it to the capital!"

He Chun said: "Send it to the capital as quickly as possible!"

……………………………………………………

In Tianjin, after getting the emperor's approval.

Guiliang and Hua Shana's talks went much more smoothly.

Of course, on the surface, Guiliang still argued with reason and tried his best to negotiate.

But in fact, after he argued for a while, he could only agree to what the British said.

The only thing he talked about was the compensation.

Because this was more obvious, he would get a lot of credit after the negotiation.

The British opened their mouths wide and called out an astronomical figure.

Guiliang tried his best to lower the price.

But in fact, the British and French cared least about the compensation figure in this negotiation.

What they cared about was the other contents of the treaty, which represented huge interests.

These compensations were not even enough for military expenses.

Deliberately calling out so high was to let the Qing court bargain, and Britain and France would give in a little bit here and bite off a big bite in other places.

…………………………………………………………

A few days later!

The emperor received a report from Hechun, the commander of the Jiangnan camp.

Also, the letter from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The direct murderer who robbed and killed the imperial envoy appeared, that is, Fa Ni.

And the heads of De Xing'a, Weng Tongshu, and hundreds of attendants were all hung on the top of the city.

Seeing this, the emperor was furious again.

Then, he saw Fa Ni's handwritten letter.

Use Wei Jun's head to exchange for the heads of De Xing'a, Weng Tongshu and other 500 people. And in the future, no generals and officials of the Heavenly Kingdom are allowed to surrender, otherwise any official ships of the Qing demons will be attacked indiscriminately.

After reading it.

The emperor was silent for a long time.

An idea also came to his mind.

I'm afraid that the robbery and killing of the imperial envoy was not done by Su Ye.

Then, he handed Hechun's secret report and the intimate letter from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Su Shun.

After Su Shun finished reading it, he handed it to Duanhua, and it was passed down in sequence.

After a while, more than a dozen important officials had finished reading.

Everyone had the same thought, could it be that... Su Ye really didn't kill him?

Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, there is a problem here. The whereabouts of the imperial envoy fleet of De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu are top secret, and this ambush is completely carefully planned. How did the rebel know the imperial envoy fleet so well? There are officials in my Qing Dynasty who secretly informed and colluded with the rebels."

Du Han said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Kuang's opinion. And this is even more dangerous. The court officials, especially the frontier officials, colluded with the rebels, and the south is in danger!"

Although the two did not mention Su Ye's name, they kept talking about Su Ye.

Minister of Military Affairs Ruilin stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I don't agree! We just fell into the trap of the rebels!"

Du Han said, "Sir Ruilin, you mean to say that the robbery and killing of the imperial envoy's fleet has nothing to do with Su Ye, right?"

Ruilin said, "It has nothing to do with it."

Du Han said, "Do the rebels have a deep hatred for De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu? Why did they rob and kill them?"

Ruilin said, "It is to alienate the relationship between the court and Su Ye."

"Your Majesty, who does the rebel hate the most now? Who is the most afraid of?" Ruilin said, "Of course it is Su Ye."

"Since Su Ye took the lead, he has eliminated tens of thousands of rebel troops, recovered Yangzhou, Jiujiang, Nanchang, and even made the rebels lose the entire Jiangxi. With such a fierce general, the rebels are of course like a thorn in their side, so they want to remove him."

"After the imperial envoys De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu's fleet were robbed and killed, everyone agreed that it was Su Ye's doing. . "

"Next, dismiss Su Ye from all his official posts and bring him to the capital?"

"Or send a few guards to Jiujiang to execute him?"

"In this way, the rebels can eliminate their biggest enemies and opponents without spending a single soldier. And some people easily gain the entire Jiangxi and get rid of their biggest political opponents."

"What a good method!"

"But in this way, it will be a complete loss for the loved ones and joy for the enemies, Your Majesty!"

Then, Ruilin said: "If Su Ye has a different heart and robbed and killed the imperial envoy's fleet, then what he should do most now is to regain the military power and transfer Wang Shiqing's new army in Yangzhou back to Jiujiang. With the military power in hand, those in the court who want to deal with him will be afraid to deal with him, for fear of forcing him to rebel. And now, has the new army in Yangzhou returned to Jiujiang?"

"No!"

"Are there still such people with different hearts in this world?"

"The knife is already on his neck, but he still doesn't use the weapon?"

These words also touched the hearts of many people.

At this time, the eunuch Zenglu's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to see me."

The emperor instinctively wanted to say no, but at this critical moment, he still wanted to hear what Chongen had to say?

Chongen entered, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the murderer who attacked Su Yi's family has been arrested, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been confessed. They are Dexing'a's eldest son and Weng Tongshu's third son. Why not arrest them?"

The emperor suddenly frowned.

Du Han said: "Lord Chongen, where did you hear the news? It's completely false. The people who attacked Su Yi's mansion this time were Nian bandits who fled to the capital and horse bandits from Shanxi. They are all Su Yi's old enemies. What? The eldest son of Dexing'a, the third son of Weng Tongshu? These two adults died for the country, and their bodies are still cold. Can you, Chong'en, say such things to the conscience of heaven and earth? "

"Bullshit, the conscience of the world." Chongen roared angrily: "Paper can't keep fire. The Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Shuntian Mansion held trials overnight. The evidence has long been conclusive. The eldest son of Dexing'a and the third son of Weng Tongshu are the instigators behind the scenes."

"If you don't arrest the criminals with solid evidence, you will still let them get away with it."

"The imperial fleet was robbed and killed. There is no evidence that it was Su Yi who claimed it, but you think the evidence is not false."

"As imperial envoys, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu were robbed and killed, which is certainly sad. But did they have any merit for the country and the Qing Dynasty? No! Instead, they stirred up trouble and did evil."

"And what about Su Yi? How much contribution have you made to the country? Aren't you afraid that the world will be disappointed by your actions like this?"

"Isn't it because Su Yi is setting up factories and engaging in foreign affairs that makes you feel uncomfortable? Don't you just think that he is too aloof for the sake of the country? He is so intolerant and narrow-minded that he deserves to be invaded by foreign barbarians!"

"If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will fall sooner or later, at the hands of you unscrupulous descendants."

Chongen's violent outburst immediately made the emperor confused.

When he said he was intolerant and narrow-minded, was he talking about me?

The unworthy descendant he was talking about, was he talking about me?

A few years ago, Chongen was not so direct when it came to trolling people.

But this time, the scolding was too direct.

The emperor couldn't even react at once.

Then Chongen shouted: "Your Majesty, if you think Su Yi is guilty, and if you think Su Yi really robbed and killed the imperial fleet, then don't act like it. Just take our whole family to Caishikou and ask all of them." Cut it off."

Sure enough, the emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and roared: "Chongen, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Chongen shouted: "Then you kill me!"

"You come to kill, you come to kill..." After saying that, Chongen rushed forward, straightening his neck to let the emperor kill him.

The emperor was furious, walked directly to the edge, picked up a sharp sword, and was about to kill him.

Prince Hui Mianyu and Minister of Military Aircraft Ruilin rushed forward to protect the emperor desperately.

Mian Yu yelled: "Chongen, what are you doing here? Let's go, let's go."

"A small stick will lead to acceptance, a big stick will lead to walking! Chongen, you go..."

Chongen roared angrily: "If I don't leave, let him kill, let him kill. I want to see how many more years he can keep struggling with my ancestor's empire?"

Mianyu yelled: "Zenglu, what are you doing here? Hurry up and carry Chong Enzao away!"

After a moment, several guards rushed in, directly lifted Chongen up and walked outside.

Chongen kept struggling and still yelled: "Let him kill me, I cleaned my neck."

The emperor, on the other hand, was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

The whole person is about to faint.

Next up!

Rumors suddenly spread throughout the capital.

Someone in the court colluded and rebelled, robbed and killed the imperial fleet, and tried to put the blame on Su Yi.

There is a traitor in the court.

I want to get rid of Master Su Yi.

The rumor exploded instantly.

Because it's too scary.

The imperial envoy's fleet was actually robbed and killed?

It was completely conveyed vividly.

Now Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu, along with hundreds of others' heads, are hanging on the city walls of Tianjing, the capital of the rebellion.

What? !

You said that Mr. Su Yi colluded with Fa Ni to rob and kill the imperial fleet?

What kind of big joke are you kidding?

The person whom Fa Tie hated the most was not Zeng Guofan, but Mr. Su Yi.

Since the beginning of the war, how many rebellious armies have Sir Su Yi destroyed?

A total of tens of thousands.

Moreover, half of the land in Rebellion was recovered by Lord Su Yi.

There is Qin Hui in the court!

You want to harm Yue Fei!

At this time, it can be said that the hearts and minds of the entire capital are all on Su Yi's side.

Because hundreds of thousands of people lent money to Su Yi to set up factories, everyone had a community of interests.

Moreover, Su Yi promised to lend him this money and earn 20% of the income every year!

Of course, the deadline for dividends has not yet arrived.

But everyone firmly believed in Su Yi.

Moreover, they paid to buy the fields, and they bought the fields at half price.

These fertile fields have now been obtained and are being cultivated.

The most important thing is that there are more than 20,000 immigrants going to Jiujiang, and they will keep writing letters back.

Tens of thousands of family letters.

Some said that they have become workers and now study every day and receive money without any deductions.

Some say they are officials and have already entered the government.

In short, totally eat well and dress well.

The days are moving forward.

And there are thousands of people who have already found their wives and are waiting for Master Su Yi to hold weddings for them in person.

How powerful are tens of thousands of family letters?

And then!

Several more attacks occurred at Su Yi's residence!

The first time, in the middle of the night, someone fired rockets at the house from a distance.

The second time was also at midnight.

Someone actually used a trebuchet to smash the fireball into Su Yi's mansion.

The third time, someone poisoned the food bought by Su Yi's family.

Then, Su Yi sent a memorial.

Your Majesty, if you feel that I am guilty, please give me a formal punishment.

Someone has tried to murder my family again and again, and the evidence is conclusive. Why doesn't the court arrest him?

When the emperor saw this memorial, his face was uncertain.

The next day!

Eunuch Wang Deli came quickly to report.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi's whole family has disappeared..."

Hearing these words, the emperor was completely shocked.

"Aren't there hundreds of people guarding outside? Aren't they surrounding his mansion completely?"

"How did they disappear? Will they escape?"

Eunuch Wang Deli didn't know either. Hundreds of people from the infantry commander's yamen were always guarding outside.

However, Su Yi's whole family disappeared mysteriously.

Looking at Su Yi's memorial again, it is written clearly.

If the Emperor does not deal with the murderers who tried to murder my family, then I can only take my family members away, please ask the Emperor for permission.

When the emperor saw this, he thought Su Yi was making a request.

But... I didn't expect it to be a notification.

And he was so powerful that he sent his family away without a sound.

The emperor trembled and said: "Search, search, search the whole city!"

"I'll dig three feet into the ground to find Su Yi's family!"

Sushun said from the side: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Su Yi is the murderer who robbed the imperial fleet, now that he has decided to move all his family members away, this...this proves that he is ready to break up with each other. ”

"It proves that Su Yi has lost patience with the court."

"Your Majesty, things have gone bad."

"Next, many issues will become different."

"It proves that Su Yi will never be like before, always available when called upon."

"I suggest you don't do anything next and just wait for his move!"

Note: The second update is here, thank you all! Ranked 51 on the monthly vote list, but I still want to work hard, thank you all.
