Chapter seven hundred and sixteenth accident
Zhu Cixuan decided to suppress this matter. Li Zicheng was indeed dead, and died in Luozao Valley. As for the one who died in Lianhua Village, he was just a bandit.
He wrote back to the magistrate of Tongshan County Shen Zhengqi. When Shen Zhengqi saw the letter from the prince, he thought for a moment and knew the meaning.
If you know the best intentions, you can be promoted. Shen Zhengqi, who is well versed in the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, immediately began to try the case. The case was heard in a hurry, and he directly convicted the two bandits in court.
The bandits Xu Dian and Song Qilang, two joined the bandits here, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. They were so evil that countless innocent people were tragically killed. Now, the official sentenced them to the death penalty according to the law. After verifying their true self, they immediately took them to the court for a question!
Never had a case heard so quickly, even if the death penalty was at least a matter of being sentenced to death. However, if a magistrate tried this case, he would make the decision.
He immediately asked for the beheading, neither the need to report to the prefecture nor the various departments to conduct a trial. After directly handling the case in the county government, Song Qilang shouted to spare his life, saying that they were really the ones who broke into the king, and the people of Lianhua Village killed them, and they were really the king of broke into the king.
No matter what, it is a dead end. Song Qilang just wants to die a little more. But who knows that Shen Zhengqi, the magistrate, couldn't listen at all, saying that Song Qilang's bandit was nonsense and was confused. He directly asked the yamen runners to take them down, took them to the court, and beheaded the heads.
As for Cheng Jiubo and others in Lianhua Village, they were shocked. They were not sure about the identity of the bandits. Could it be that, as the court said, these people were just simple bandits, not the King of Rebellion?
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the reward from the court also came down. Cheng Jiubo was granted the title of Wuchang Prefecture after his official position and title was second only to that of the magistrate. The brave men in Lianhuazhai rewarded 800 taels of silver.
For the villagers of Lianhua Village, 800 taels of silver is a huge sum of astronomical sum. Some people have never seen ten taels of silver in their entire lives. If the eight hundred taels of silver are divided, each household will have a huge sum of money.
What's so bad is that Cheng Jiubo was inexplicably appointed as an official, and he was still a high-ranking official second only to the magistrate. This made the villagers feel incredible. The case was settled and disappeared invisible.
The Li Zicheng era was completely over.
Next, Zhu Cixuan's next move was to continue his troops to enter Sichuan, strive to achieve a momentum like a tiger, and destroy Zhang Xianzhong.
However, at this time, an urgent battle report from the capital broke Zhu Cixuan's plan.
Huangtaiji went south and Liaodong was in danger.
Zhu Cilang was shocked by this urgent report from the capital. Seeing that his goal was about to be achieved, he had wiped out Li Zicheng. The morale of the soldiers was in full swing, and now it was the best time to attack Zhang Xianzhong.
However, Huang Taiji suddenly led his troops south to attack Liaodong. The court's urgent report said that Liaodong was in danger, proving that the war situation in Liaodong was dangerous at this time was dangerous.
Zhu Cilang, who was frowning, looked at the court's urgent report and was puzzled for a moment. Why is Liaodong in danger? This shouldn't be the case.
Hong Chengchou has never been a person who underestimates the enemy and advances. As long as he defends the Guanning defense line to the death, even if Huang Taiji goes south, the Liaodong defense line will never be broken.
"Summon Song Xiance in, hurry!" Zhu Cilang's face was solemn in the camp.
