Chapter 29 Falling into the pit
Facing the cruel and severe punishments of the Censorate, Ma Qing did not last half a day.
The originally angry and hated eyes gradually turned into fear and fear, and they regarded them as snakes and scorpions.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Pei Min looked at Ma Qing, who was in front of him, crossed his legs on stilts, and looked at him with some jokingness.
Ma Qing was very bad for him. There was no good piece of meat on the vest. He either shaved the iron comb or bitten the ants. His fingers were as thick as carrots, and his soles were red and shimmering with the smell of charcoal. The injuries he suffered were not fatal, so even if Ma Qing was abused in various kinds of fancy ways, he still remained awake and felt the pain coming from all over his body.
Now he is lying on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move.
"Master Pei..." Ma Qing's voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, and he had already shouted to the sound of the sound. Even so, he still spoke as loud as possible to avoid angering the evil star in front of him: "The villain said whatever he said, and he would never dare to deceive him at all!"
Pei Min sneered: "Then just say it and say everything you know."
"The incident started from the first military meeting. General Bai proposed a strategy of seeking stability and refuted Wang Junzhi. General Kang spoke to General Bai and asked Wang Junzhi to say that Wang Junzhi was 'growing the ambitions of others and destroying his own prestige'. General Bai and General Kang were both fourth-rank generals. In their eyes, Wang Junzhi's small official openly swept their faces at the military meeting and had strong dissatisfaction with him. He said that Wang Junzhi's wrongdoing was not, waiting to see him laugh at..."
"It was just that the Wang Army envoy Lian Zhan and Lian Zhui brought great uneasiness to General Bai and General Kang. The Wang Army envoy's victory was equivalent to their ignorance. When they spread, they were blind. They wanted to use a defeat to prove that their tactical strategies were correct. The two generals Zhao and Li were also fueling the fire. Only then did the few people plan to let the villain plot against Wang Army envoy and promised many benefits."
"When he arrived at the military horse farm that day, General Menglang intended to station at the military horse farm, but arranged it outside for the Wang Juncheng, and was dissatisfied and angry. The villain wanted to take the opportunity to instigate him and went to General Menglang's military camp. On the way, he met a commander and learned that Tubo had withdrawn and the commander had already attacked. Thinking of the instructions of General Bai and Kang, he saw that there was no one around, so he killed the commander. The villain asked his confidant to hurry to intercept the commander and kill the commander and general Menglang. He did not want to fail, but let the news reach General Menglang's ears."
"General Menglang was very hostile to the king's army, and the young ones took General Menglang into the trap. As for the envoy, when he returned, he shot my confidant."
Ma Qing was afraid of torture and told everything.
Pei Min frowned and said, "General Zhao is also a participant?" What Ma Qing said was roughly the same as what he calculated, but he always felt that Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Wei and others were shelterers, but he didn't want to participate in it, which would fuel the fire.
Ma Qing said: "It's all together. They have no grudges with the Wang Jun Envoy, but the villain can see that they are very afraid of Ambassador Xue. Ambassador Xue took the general of Zuo Xiaowei in white clothes. If he gets great achievements this time, his position in the court will be more stable and he may even be promoted to Minister of War. General Zhao has always coveted the position of Minister of War... The Wang Jun made Xue Na look at it and made great contributions, and it is very likely that he will enter Beijing to become an official and become Ambassador Xue. With Ambassador Xue's years of prestige, serving in Beijing will pose a great threat to them, breaking the situation of military generals in Beijing, and creating a new faction. General Zhao and the others don't want to see such things..."
Pei Min didn't expect that there was another thing. Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Wei and others were not shelterers at all, but one of the masterminds. They dealt with Wang Haibin because Xue Na would threaten their status. They didn't want a person like Wang Haibin to become Xue Na's arm and strengthen his strength.
A sharp look flashed in Pei Min's eyes: Not only did officials who rely on Long Gong become party members, but they were still so xenophobic. Xue Na had not yet officially gained a foothold in Chang'an, but had just started to use it during the war. He had already begun to plan and exclude it. It really responded to the saying "Civil Wars, Insiders, Outsiders" dealing with his own people, and his methods were extremely refreshing, directly refreshing his three views.
Seeing Pei Min's expression furious, Ma Qing said, "The villain will tell you everything you know. Please give up your help and spare the villain."
Pei Min asked Ma Qing to write down the confession confessed by him, and Ma Qing personally wrote it and saw him stamped it with a handprint.
Pei Min said: "Nothing is missing?"
Ma Qing said in a trembling voice: "It's gone, it's really gone."
Pei Min got up and left, leaving a sentence to the yamen runner: "Use sticks to help him thrust all his intestines, maybe he can think of something!"
The stick is not about hitting people with a stick, but about holding a stick and sank the whole stick, commonly known as ju.
Looking at the confession in his hand, Pei Min couldn't help but sigh: If he had known the intrigue in the officialdom, he would not have thought that it would be so sinister.
It seems that because Li Longji values him very much and is in the position of the Censorate, which is full of intimidation, no one plans to plot against him.
"Zhong Cheng! Zuo Yulin General Ma Chong asked for a meeting!" Wang Xiaobai strode in.
Pei Min put away Ma Qing's confession and said without hesitation: "Xiaobai, go out and tell General Ma that if there is anything else, you can invite him in. If it comes for the matter of Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Qing and Meng Lin, let him go back. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Wang Xiaobai told Ma Chong truthfully about Pei Min's words.
Ma Chong's face turned blue and white, and he flipped his sleeves and left.
Ma Chong returned to the mansion and came up with the general party of Long Yi faction in a hurry. They did not participate in the affairs of Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Qing, and Meng Lin, but their party was in a common sense and knew each other well. As long as Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Wei, Bai Daogong, and Kang Haiyuan were implicated, their faction would also be in name only. With Yao Chong's means, he would definitely take advantage of the situation and clean them up.
You must not be indifferent to others and yourself.
The right-leading general Xian Yu Tinghui said: "Since Pei Min's child is so ignorant, we don't need to hold back. He slandered him and made a move to the Censorate Prison, and his intention was to be dispersed. I want to see how he ended up and whether he dared to make a big deal!"
Lai Junchen is best at implicating it, and there are no small cases in his hands. For his own achievements, he would scold the prisoners in a small matter and instruct them to bite them randomly, including hundreds of them at least to thousands.
General Yang Jingshu, the Right Yulin, also said, "As long as the news spreads, all the civil officials in the court will definitely watch over the matter. As long as he has the courage to imprison generals such as Zhao, Li, Ma, etc., there is a rumor that he will confuse him with Lai Junchen, impeachment of his notebooks will pile up like a mountain, and there is room for things to turn around."
Under their secret operation, in almost half a day, the news that the Censorate intends to come to Junchen’s old path spread through various channels.
Although the Censorate had a great change in his opinion under Pei Min's governance, it could not withstand the horror brought by Lai Junchen, and for a moment, some people in the capital were panicked.
Especially the civil servants who suffered a lot in their early years were even more nervous and stared at the Censorate and would never allow similar things to happen again.
The Censorate instantly fell into the forefront.
Censorate.
"It's so hateful!" Xiao Song was so angry that he was so angry that he stared at him: they did abuse a little punishment, but it was definitely not abuse of lynching. Ma Qing and Meng Lin deserved the crime, and the Censor Tai Ben had the power to torture. If you pursue it, it was just that the punishment was too heavy and there was a suspicion of being beaten up. It was said that it was a political trend of a cruel minister and a cruel official.
The blame is too big! The big censor cannot bear it!
"Zhongcheng, what should I do?" Xiao Song looked at Pei Min frowningly. Including Ma Qing and Meng Lin's confessions, Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Ma Wei, Bai Daogong, Kang Haiyuan, etc., they were all masterminds and accomplices. But now after such a remark, if they were brought to justice, they would only leave the world with the Censorate to maliciously expand the situation, beating and biting, and implicating innocent people.
"Forcing people with words! This trick is very good!" Pei Min said with a smile, "Let's go, since they have made a move, we don't fight back, doesn't it mean we are really afraid of them? Call the master and we will arrest all the people who are in trouble! We will not hide it, and we will go and get people openly..."
"But?" Xiao Song was worried and finally recovered the reputation of the Censorate. He really didn't want the Censorate to become a place where everyone feared and frightened.
Pei Min narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm prepared." He made a "shhh" gesture and led the people from the Censorate to pick up the people openly.
If you do your best, why not be afraid of others' comments?
Every move of the Censorate was under the surveillance of Ma Chong, Yang Jingshu and others. When everyone was panicked when they learned that Pei Min led the Censorate's men out of the capital with them.
"How dare he?"
"Is this going to fight us to the death?"
"What are the grudges and grievances? As officials in the same dynasty, they are all heroes. Why do you have to do this!"
Ma Chong couldn't say a word.
Yang Jingshu was speechless, and unexpectedly Pei Min completely ignored the rumors and did not take the pen of the civil minister seriously at all.
Listening to the messy under the hall, I didn't pay any attention.
"Not good, no good!"
Xian Yu Tinghui ran into the hall in panic.
Ma Chong and Yang Jingshu looked at each other and had an unknown premonition.
"Yao Xiang, Yao Xiang, have taken action!" Xian Yu Tinghui gasped and said, "I heard that Yao Xiang praised the Censorate for his rigorous and upright work at the court meeting today, and was not moved by rumors. Let the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice learn from the Censorate!"
Ma Chong and Yang Jingshu's face were pale!
Yao Chong's words clearly stood on the side of the Censorate. He was a civil minister. As soon as he made a statement, would that civil minister dare to impeach Pei Min and impeach the Censorate?
"It's over!"
