Chapter 383


Chapter 383 This is the power of the close ministers.

Often, a word from a close minister can change the master's mind, and thus change a person's fate or the outcome of an event.

Originally, Tang Yin had a grudge against Yuan Qianyi, but after listening to Zong Yuan's words, he changed his mind and felt that what Zong Yuan said also had a certain amount of truth.

He nodded and said to Qiu Zhen: "No matter what, Mrs.

Huarong's identity still needs to be investigated, and the result of this matter will be found out as soon as possible."

"Yes," Qiu Zhen gave the order.

As soon as their conversation came to an end, someone knocked on the door, "General Cheng asks to see you" and "Please come recently" Tang Yin replied casually.

The door opened, Cheng Jin strode from outside the door and approached, came to Tang Yin, knelt on one knee, bowed his hand, and said, "My lord, the case of Zhan Ling has been decided" As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a document in his hand.

Tang Yin was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to take it, and took a look, okay, it was densely pressed with words, and there were signatures and fingerprints on the drawing.

He lowered his head to take a closer look, and above it was a confession from someone who pretended to be a spirit.

Because Zhan Ling was born to Zhan Xiong and the maid, he was not to be seen in the house, and even his identity was not as good as that of an ordinary maid, Zhan Xiong's wife and concubines regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, when Zhan Ling was five years old, Zhan Xiong's wife bribed several bandits, tied Zhan Ling to the outside of the city, and planned to kill her secretly, but the bandits thought that she was young, soft-hearted, and did not poison her, so they tied her to a remote mountain village in Lingnan County and sold it to a farmer.

And the woman who pretended to be Zhan Ling was the child of the farmer's family, named Xu Daiman.

Because the old couple of this farmer loved Zhan Ling very much and regarded it as their own, Zhan Ling did not dare to return to his home in the capital, so he lived here with peace of mind.

She and Xu Daiman are of the same age, have similar surnames, and are like sisters, and they have been inseparable since childhood.

Usually, Zhan Ling told Xu Daiman about the affairs of Zhanxiong's mansion, and Xu Daiman was also very willing to listen, and because of this, the latter knew everything about the situation in Zhanxiong's mansion.

Later, Zhong Tian killed the monarch and usurped the throne, and killed the Zhan family, and Zhan Ling, who had grown up and was honest, did not dare to return to the capital, and buried his name incognito in a small village, although his life was hard, he was also free and comfortable.

Later, Tang Yin commanded the Tianyuan army to enter the capital, beat Zhong Tian away, and posted notices to find the descendants of the royal family.

At this time, Xu Daiman proposed to Zhan Ling to enter the capital, even if he was not a monarch, he could enjoy the glory and wealth, not to mention that the people who murdered Zhan Ling had been killed by Zhong Tian, so he didn't have to worry about who else would harm her.

Originally, Zhan Ling wanted to live in the village forever, and he was bored with the life of the royal family, but he couldn't stand Xu Daiman's repeated persuasion, and finally nodded and agreed.

Because the old couple who raised Zhan Ling were old and couldn't travel long distances to the capital, Xu Daiman accompanied Zhan Ling to go.

Halfway through the journey, Xu Daiman felt evil, she felt that after arriving in the capital, Zhan Ling became the only descendant of the Wind King Clan, and she was nothing, why could Zhan Ling, who grew up with her, become a lady of the sky, but she was just an ordinary and ordinary folk girl When he went to the wilderness, Xu Daiman took advantage of Zhan Ling's unpreparedness, hit her on the head with a stone, smashed her to death, and abandoned her body in the wilderness, and took the jade pendant on Zhan Ling's body, and under the pretense of Zhan Ling's name, he entered the capital to unveil the list, claiming to be Zhan Ling, the daughter of Zhan Xiong.

This is how it happened, how it happened, and how it happened.

After carefully reading this confession, Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh on his back, shook his head and said, "Even if you make up a lie, you can't make it up so perfectly."

As he spoke, he threw the confession book down, and said to Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan: "Look" When Qiu Zhen and the others carefully watched the confession, Tang Yin said to Cheng Jin again: "Cheng Jin, copy several copies of this confession, give one copy to each of the ministers in the court, and in addition, post a notice to tell the people of the world what this thief girl has done."

"It's my lord" Cheng Jin responded and said: "My lord, this woman is extremely hateful, and with her guilt, she should be beheaded all over the house" "Oh" Tang Yin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Her parents have contributed to raising Miss Zhanling, and the death penalty can be avoided, and there will be no reward or punishment."

"Yes" Cheng Jin agreed again and asked: "The punishment for the thief girl is" "Tomorrow at noon, cut in half" "Understood."

Cheng Jin got up and took the order.

At this time, Qiu Zhen and the others had already finished reading the confession, and the three of them all shook their heads and sighed, sighing: "Miss Zhan Ling did not die in the hands of Zhan Xiong's wife and concubine, nor did she die in the hands of Zhong Tian, but she died in the hands of a few evil women, it is really not as good as heaven" Zong Yuan said: "Your lord should send someone to find and collect Miss Zhan Ling's body, and bury it later, so as to show your adult's generosity and mercy."

"Reasonable" Tang Yin snapped his fingers, raised his head and said, "Mr.

Zongyuan, you can arrange this matter."

"Yes" Zhan Ling's case, so far to come to an end, but anyone who has read this confession, whether it is the common people, or the princes and ministers, are all angry, scolding the thief girl for being hateful, and hating Xu Daiman who killed Zhan Ling.

According to Tang Yin's instructions, the next day, at noon, Xu Daiman was escorted to the court to be sentenced to death, when the execution, the people who came to watch were crowded, from the moment people saw Xu Daiman, the scolding did not stop, the people were angry, some spit on Xu Daiman throwing vegetable leaves, and some threw stones, and even the soldiers who escorted Xu Daiman were difficult to get forward, hiding far away, and dragging her away with ropes.

Before the execution, Xu Daiman was beaten half to death.

The case of Zhan Ling is over, but the discussion of it has never stopped in later generations, and it has also become the first unsolved case at the end of the Wind Country and the beginning of the Wind Empire.

Some people in later generations thought that Zhan Ling was tortured into a confession, and even if the confession was not forged by Tang Yin, Zhan Ling couldn't stand the torture and made it up indiscriminately, and some people thought that with Zhan Ling's age at the time, it was impossible to make up such a perfect lie, and it was indeed a fake by others.

Not to mention those historians of later generations, even Tang Yin, who was behind the scenes, did not thoroughly figure out whether this Zhan Ling was true or false, in short, if he had a confession, he could convince the public, and it would be fine, as for carefully investigating the truth of Zhan Ling, he didn't have the time, and he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Zhan Ling's case seems to be very small, but it has a far-reaching impact, if Zhan Ling is not identified as a fake, then the person who inherits the orthodoxy of the Wind Country is likely to be her, then, there will be no Wind Empire in the future.

After this incident, Tang Yin's position in Yancheng has also been further consolidated invisibly, because of his meritorious handling of the case, his reputation among the people has also been greatly improved, at least when people talk about Tang Yin's name again, they will show respect, give a high thumbs up, and praise it is good.

Next, the momentum of the Tianyuan Army's southward movement was like an arrow on a string.

Even if the ministers of the court are not in a hurry, the voices of the people are getting louder and louder, and people hope that the Feng army can eradicate the national thieves as soon as possible, expel the prisoners, and put an end to the current situation of national division.

Tang Yin complied with the will of the people, mobilized a large army, and prepared to attack Wancheng in the south.

The general structure of the Tianyuan Army has not changed, although there is a large group of generals above the court who have nothing to do, Tang Yin has no use.

The generals in the court, either the lieutenant general or the general, really joined the Tianyuan army, and Tang Yin did not want to lose the military power in his hands on the battlefield.

Before setting out for the expedition, Liang Qi gave Tang Yin a plan, but there was no solution.

He asked Tang Yin to quietly divide two waves of troops and horses when he commanded the army to attack Wancheng, all the way to attack the city, and set up ambushes along the way.

The closure is located in the south of Wancheng, it can be said that Wancheng is the only way to go to the south, once the closure is occupied by his own side, Wancheng will become a lonely city, Zhong Tian can't even find a way to escape, so once he hears that the closure is attacked, Zhong Tian must score troops to reinforce, and then his own ambushes along the way can play a role.

The reason why this is an unsolvable plan is that no matter whether Zhong Tian can see through his intentions or not, whether he can find out that there are ambushes along the way, as long as the city is blocked, if he doesn't want to be trapped in Wancheng, he must go to ask for help, even if there are swords and mountains of fire on the way to reinforcements, he has to send reinforcements.

This is an uncrackable strategy.

After Tang Yin heard this, he laughed, even praised Gao Ming, and even Qiu Zhen and other strategists nodded their heads, thinking that Liang Qi's plan was feasible.

Tang Yin listened to Liang Qi's advice and sent the Sky Eagle Army led by Ziying to attack the closed city, and then sent Wu Guang and Zhan Hu to command 50,000 directly subordinate troops to set up an ambush in Wancheng and the central section of the closed city.

And he himself commanded the army and approached Wancheng from the front.

Excluding the 200,000 troops stationed in Tongmen, the current strength of the Tianyuan Army in Yancheng is 600,000, Tang Yin did not dare to take all the troops away, leaving 100,000 people to guard the capital, and the commander in charge of these 100,000 people is Bai Yong, who he trusts very much and is quite capable.

On the day of Tang Yin's personal expedition, the civil and military officials of the Wind Country came to see him off, and people naturally sang hymns in unison, hoping that Tang Yin could command the army to fight smoothly, annihilate the national thieves in one fell swoop, return triumphantly, and so on.

Tang Yin knew in his heart that there were few officials and ministers who really hoped that he would come back alive, and they wished that they would die in front of the two armies as soon as possible Although there were many ministers who came to see them off, there were no more people than the people who came.

The people were the ones who really hoped that the wind army would win, and the people stood on both sides of the street, silently following Tang Yin's team out of the city.

Even if he went out of the city, Tang Yin and his own army waiting outside the city converged, the people still did not mean to leave, and when they looked up, there were a sea of people outside the south gate of Yancheng, overwhelming, and countless.

Tang Yin reined in his war horse, looked back at the people who were following his army, and said: "Everyone go back, don't send it again" "I wish you a good morning" Someone among the people finally shouted.

The rest of the people also shouted: "I wish the Lord a triumphant soon" Tang Yin was heartbroken, and said loudly: "Our army is mighty, if you go to Wancheng, you will definitely be able to take down Zhong Tian's head, and you will be ashamed of the snow country" "The wind army is mighty, the wind army is mighty, the wind army is mighty" The people shouted in unison, and the waves soared into the sky
