Chapter 1505 The Persistence of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis

While Zhu Pingan was like a yellow bird, patiently waiting for the opportunity in the dense forest, the officials in Yingtian City had already accused Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis. The heat was so intense that the two of them were almost drowned in saliva.

"You are working for the tiger, you are making your loved ones angry and your enemies happy, you are tycoons."

"You are sending troops to guard the beggar and prodigal son who asked for a fight. You are destroying the morale of the city defenders. , destroying the city defense Bureau, we seriously doubt whether you have any shady dealings with the Japanese pirates outside the city"!

"Sir Zhang, Eunuch He, you can't let Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis make unreasonable troubles"


The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai were surrounded by a group of officials, and they were embarrassed to avoid the flying spittle.

“When something goes wrong, there must be monsters. The common people avoid the defense of the city. It is abnormal for these beggars and gangsters to take the initiative to ask for a fight. Moreover, it is even more abnormal for them to specifically ask to help defend the city gate. We suspect these beggars We have problems with the gangsters. To be precise, we suspect It is suspected that these beggars and ruffians from Hedi are internal agents of the Japanese pirates outside the city, and they intend to cooperate with the Japanese pirates outside to plot against me."

The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai could no longer stand the criticism and ridicule of the crowd, so they pulled a group together. Zhang Xinglian explained the reason to the officials who were criticizing him.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!? You are trying to make things up, and using strong words to undermine the overall situation of defending the city!"

"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good! You can't allow others to be beggars. kindness Illustrated report?! We cannot allow people to turn back their prodigal sons?! The ancients said it well, a prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he returns home. These are the words of our ancestors. Do you think the words of our ancestors are abnormal? You dare to say that it is treason!"

"You said that there is something wrong with the beggars and gangsters who took the initiative to fight, and you suspected that they were internal agents of the Japanese pirates. Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, you don't want to slander people and hurt others. The beggars and prodigal sons asked for tassels to defend the city. If you don't mention your good intentions, you will destroy the overall situation of defending the city and make your relatives angry and your enemies unhappy!"

Not only did the officials not listen to the explanations of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis, they even intensified their accusations against them.

Suddenly, spittle flew towards the two of them like a violent storm, making them extremely embarrassed.

However, not everyone was mad at the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai.

For example, after Zhang Jing, Hu Zongxian, Yu Daxian and others listened to the explanations of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis, they seemed to be shocked and couldn't help but look solemn. They speculated carefully and carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more solemn they became.

What Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis said is a possibility. If the beggars and gangsters are really the Japanese pirates inside, and they cooperate with the Japanese pirates outside the city, then Yingtian will be in great danger.

"It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. We should send troops to guard and screen. Otherwise, if they are Japanese pirates who respond internally and respond internally and externally, we, Yingtian, will be in danger. Originally, the Japanese pirates besieged Yingtian, and we Ying Tian's officials have already failed the Holy Grace. If the Japanese pirates break through the city gate again, then we will become the unforgivable sinners of the Ming Dynasty. Which of you can bear this responsibility?"

The Marquis of Linhuai took a step forward and glanced around. The officials who accused them said sternly.

"You are alarmist!! What do you mean by rather believing something is true than believing something is not true? Haha, how is your behavior different from Qin Hui's "unnecessary" behavior? Do you want the tragedy of Fengbo Pavilion to reappear in the world? ?”
“Sending troops to detain people without any basis will chill their hearts to repay their kindness and turn back, and chill the hearts of the people to help defend themselves. You are tantamount to digging your own graves and destroying the Great Wall. ”

Not to be outdone, the officials surrounding them who criticized the two men raised their heads and akimbo, pointed, and spat.

"What happened in Fengbo Pavilion? We are just watching and screening them, and we are not harming their lives. If they are not Japanese pirates, we will naturally reward them. If we find that they are Japanese pirates, we will eradicate them as soon as possible. Hidden danger, avoid They have to cooperate with the Japanese pirates outside!"

Linhuai Marquis is relatively fat. He has been arguing with these colleagues for so long, and his physical strength cannot keep up. Especially when he is excited, he becomes a little breathless when talking, and his momentum is lost. It's not just the slightest bit of pressure.

Finally, Linhuai Hou couldn't stand the accusations and criticism from his colleagues, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let me say one more thing, this is my nephew - Si Qianting Zhu Ping'an, the envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. ,in front The Japanese gave me and Wei Guogong thousands of instructions! By comparing the performance of the Japanese pirates in Shangyu for several months, my nephew found that the battle losses of the Japanese pirates in the battle with Miao Yin and Zeng Qianhu's coalition forces were abnormal. After the Japanese pirates' great victory, Lost twenty The four of them suffered the highest battle losses since they landed. In the past, they only lost a few people in each battle. The nephew seriously suspected that the Japanese pirates were golden cicadas who had escaped from their shells. These twenty-four Japanese pirates who had been damaged in the battle had actually infiltrated into Yingtian City in advance. "

"Yes, what the Marquis of Linhuai said is true. Yesterday, the wise nephew Ping An gave me a lot of advice! He also reminded me that the Japanese pirates who sneaked into the city were twenty-four Japanese pirates, but they should cooperate inside and outside. But no It’s just these twenty-four Japanese pirates. These twenty-four Japanese pirates will definitely use heavy money, beautiful women and other threats to lure the ruffians in the city and other scoundrels with ulterior motives who are afraid of the world’s chaos, and cooperate with them inside and outside! My nephew We are told to thoroughly investigate anyone approaching the city gate, and beware of Japanese pirates cooperating inside and outside, plotting to harm the people of Yingtian! This matter is related to the face of the court, the lives of millions of people in the city, and the Yingtian people. Life is a matter of life and death! The Marquis of Linhuai and I have to pay attention, have to be serious, and have to persevere! Three days ago, all of us here ignored Ping An’s nephew’s warning that the Japanese pirates would attack Yingtian, and refused to set up an ambush and destroy them halfway. The Japanese pirates’ suggestion led to today’s catastrophe! Are we going to make the same mistake this time and ignore and reject Ping An’s nephew’s warning again?!”

Wei Guogong also stood up and spoke sternly and emotionally. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he even brought Zhu Pingan out. Some of his words also copied what Zhu Pingan said to them that day.

“Ah?!”

“What? Is this a reminder from Zhu Pingan?!”

When the officials heard Zhu Pingan’s name, they felt like they were facing dozens of people The big-eared scraper moves at eighty seconds per second The roar of the pace hit them in the face! They had deliberately and selectively forgotten Zhu Pingan's name before!

At first, Zhu Pingan reminded Shangyu that the Japanese pirates were coming back to harass Yingtian, and suggested setting up an ambush to eliminate the Japanese pirates midway.

But they took it as a joke! Because Zhu Pingan is the number one scholar and is very topical. Almost everyone has laughed at Zhu Pingan at one time or another, such as Zhao Kuo in his time, Wenquxing landing on his head and so on.

Results.

The joke turned out to be me

So, like ostriches, they deliberately buried the words Zhu Pingan in their hearts to avoid being embarrassed.

Now that I heard Zhu Pingan's name, the shame buried in the hearts of all the officials was like a volcano erupting. They were all blushing and embarrassed. They no longer had the face or confidence to accuse Wei Guogong and the Marquis of Linhuai. .

Hearing Zhu Ping'an's name, Zhang Jing and Eunuch He looked at each other, strengthened their determination, waved their hands to summon two warriors, and ordered them to select 800 elite soldiers, equipped with bows, crossbows and muskets, to carry out the task of inspecting and identifying beggars and ruffians.

“Don’t show any flaws, just say that Shangguan appreciates their spirit of repaying kindness and volunteering to defend the city. He not only agreed to their request to help defend the city gate, but also rewarded them heavily and rewarded them every time. They were given a set of armor, weapons and fifty taels of silver, and then in the name of taking them to receive rewards, they were led into a heavy siege, and they were forcibly detained and screened strictly." Zhang Jing ordered.

"Here!" The two generals took the order and left. (End of this chapter)
