The street in front of Kunming County Government is called County Qian Street.

The young man leaning against a carriage on the street, sitting in front of the carriage, holding a whip in his hand, was Yao Fang. Yao Fang was wearing a short gray cloth suit and a straw hat on her head.

Looking from here, you can see the county government's screen wall diagonally opposite, and even the carvings of beasts swallowing the sun on the screen wall can be seen clearly.

At this moment, Yao Fang saw Mu Sheng wearing a lion embroidered suit walking out of the county government. Mu Sheng suddenly held the wall and lie on the wall with a "nause..." and vomited! Several people next to Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward to support him, and someone handed over a handkerchief.

A faint voice came, and Mu Sheng said, "Can you confirm that the dead person inside is really Yang Yong's body?"

Several people were talking, and one of them said, "Although the corpse is already swollen, it's impossible to make a mistake. It must be Yang Yong!"

At this time, the carriage on Yao Fang seemed to have been noticed by the people standing at the county government office. Yao Fang threw the whip quietly and hurriedly drove the carriage away from the place.

Not long ago, Yao Fang received a confession about Ping An’s whereabouts, so he is now very suspicious that Mu Shengwo | Hiding Ping An’s affairs may have been blamed by the King of Han!

Yao Fang was thinking: It would be too far away to bring witnesses back to the capital. If there is no progress after a while, should we just hand over the captured witnesses to Hu Yi and then ask Hu Yi to check again?

After all, the King of Han was the one his uncle Yao Guangxiao wanted to deal with. When Yao Fang went to guard Sheng Yong's house, he already understood this. If Hu Yi could find out that Ping An was related to the King of Han's Mansion, this matter would definitely be unfavorable to the King of Han!

...

In the east mountain of Yuezhou, white smoke was shrouded in the mountains, and the sound of muskets "bang bang bang..." was endless, like firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year.

Countless Ming troops wearing hard and holding sharp edges at the foot of the mountain were lined up along the road, with flags and swords and guns spread far and near.

Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on a brown horse wearing armor, looking up at the hillside. There was a fire in the village above, and the fire and smoke were everywhere, and the screams and crying could be heard faintly.

He didn't go up in person and didn't say anything at this time. A sense of guilt was waving away in his heart. He knew very well: the natives in this village were most likely innocent!

Perhaps achieving the goal is the most important thing, but when he saw what he did with his own eyes, he was still a little unable to let go.

Soon, a group of chaotic people appeared on the mountain road, and the people who were rolling and crawling were crying and noisy. Veda next to him turned over and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with inquiring eyes. Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

Veda immediately shook the reins and slapped the horse to the west. A group of infantry soldiers lined up on the road at the foot of the mountain quickly turned around. When Veda waved his hand to order, the troops lined up to run towards the intersection on the mountain.

The natives who were chased down the mountain by rioters in the distance had no way to go, and were quickly squeezed to the front of the Veda team. They were immediately shot by three rows of muskets. The flames flashed and white smoke filled the crowd, and a cavalry rushed away, and the string sounded "papapa..." and there was chaos at the foot of the mountain.

In the midst of the smoke, some people came over from Dongshan.

Liu Tai, who was in front, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Report to His Highness, the rebels from Dasongzhai refused to surrender. After receiving the help of the officials and the officials, they have led their troops to attack and destroy this village to warn the troops!"

"According to Liu's list of matters, there is Xiaosongzhai nearby?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Liu Tai replied: "Go back to Your Highness, that's right."

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. I'll go to Xiaosong Village tomorrow." He turned around and said, "I'll order the entire army to choose a place to camp."

Wang Bin's voice said, "Get order!"

When the soldiers dug trenches and built the military camp, the light gradually dimmed. The military camp was at the foot of Dongshan Mountain in Yuezhou. At this time, the east was pitch black and the sky was blocked by the mountains. The smell of smoke and blood during the day were shrouded in the mist, and it had not completely dissipated by the evening.

Zhu Gaoxu and the generals invited Liu Tai and several others to have dinner together in the central army tent.

The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was large. When Zhu Gaoxu sent Liu Tai and others out of the tent, the wind blew, and he felt a chill. Zhao Ping, a hundred-person guard, draped a red cloak on Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and reached out to tie the cloth rope at the collar.

"The prince seems to be very rare." Suddenly, a voice said.

Zhu Gaoxu looked in the voice and said that the person who spoke was Liu Bashi's brother Ma Peng. The two of them looked at each other. Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Hao Ma knows this method?"

Ma Peng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu learned the technique of tying ropes from Yao Ji. He learned it for a long time and finally learned it. The technique was indeed quite strange. When he thought of this, he held his back and asked Ma Peng to follow him back to the tent.

Ma Peng stood in the middle of the tent, looking surprised and puzzled. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, who taught you the method of tying your rope?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, looked at Ma Peng up and down, and suddenly asked, "Hao Man Ma changed his name, it turned out to be Yao Fengji?"

Ma Peng's expression changed and he was stunned, without saying a word for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "I just learned the technique of wearing a cloak from a girl named Yao Ji. She is now a member of the Han Palace, so she taught me."

Ma Peng's face was unstable, and the blue veins next to his temples bulged.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Yao Ji's father was convicted and ran away, so his mother had to hang himself at home. Now there are only two brothers and sisters left. Her father is Yao Fengji, is the hero of horse Yao Fengji?"

Ma Peng suddenly squatted down, keeping his head with his arms. He was tense, clenched his fists, and buried his head and made a few sounds of laughter or crying.

"I'm sorry for them..."

When Ma Peng raised his head, his face had flushed and his eyes were red, "I'm not afraid of death! I didn't accept the unjust case back then, so I couldn't die so unexplained!"

Zhu Gaoxu observed his reaction and immediately said in a deep voice: "Since General Yao met me, I will overturn the verdict for you."

"Ah?" Ma Peng stared at his eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "For Yao Ji's love, I also want to help General Yao. Are you really wronged?"

Ma Peng's eyes were covered with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A huge unjust case, Yao Guangxiao caused my family to be destroyed!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately brought a stool in person and said, "General Yao, don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly."

Ma Peng thanked him, took a long breath, and said in a daze, "At the end of the year, the general was a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. In the 17th year of Hongwu, the general discovered the secret matter of his uncle Yao Guangxiao, who was the same clan. He arranged for a spy in the capital, which was a illegitimate act..."

Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything and interrupted Ma Peng, but nodded. He thought to himself: Yao Guangxiao surrendered to the Yan Palace in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and had already had the ambition to overturn the court, and it was possible to make some moves at that time.

Ma Peng's voice continued: "The King's fortune is not unfaithful. He was about to collect evidence to report to Yao Guangxiao, but he took the initiative to instigate officials to falsely accuse me of having an affair with the pirate Chen Zuyi! The King learned that the Jinyiwei had sent someone to arrest him, but he knew that he had no argument, so he had to escape with an unjust in order to save his life and take revenge in the future."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said, "Since General Yao is from the Jinyiwei, how can ordinary officials falsely accuse the Jinyiwei general?"

Ma Peng sighed and said, "The Mo General and Chen Zuyi do have old age, because my father once had kindness to him. However, after Chen Zuyi fled to the sea, the Mo General and him were his masters and never had any contact. Yao Guangxiao falsely accused Mo General of private pirates, which was really accusing a good person... But if Yao Guangxiao can confirm that our family has old age, then he can never explain it clearly!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I believe General Yao's words."

He actually didn't care whether Yao Fengji was wronged; as long as he could believe, Yao Fengji and Yao Guangxiao had a grudge!

Zhu Gaoxu remembered the file stolen by Yao Erlang again, and the content of the conviction of Yao Fengji was torn off. I am afraid that the person who tampered with the file stolen by Beizhen Fushi really wanted to cover up something.

Ma Peng said: "The last general dares not deceive the prince. What he said just now is nothing false!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "General Yao's wife committed suicide, so she must be counted on Yao Guangxiao?"

Ma Peng looked angry: "If it weren't for Yao Guangxiao's false accusation, how could he be convicted? Even his wife was forced to commit suicide and his family was destroyed!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "I talked to General Yao a few days ago. What are the experiences you said true?"

"At that time, I did not have any contact with Chen Zuyi, and I had nowhere to look for him, and I was even more unwilling to confirm the charge of pirates. Therefore, I did not want to escape to the sea, so I walked west." Ma Peng recalled, "After I fled from Guizhou to Yunnan, I met Liu Tai in Yuezhou, and first did some dirty work under him..."

He sighed, "The Yi tribes in Yuezhou often fight, and Mo Jiang was sent by Liu Tai and sold his life to the head of Sha clan several times. Mo Jiang was originally a martial man, but he was highly appreciated by Sha clan for his bravery and good fighting... Later, Mo Jiang married his wife and settled his family, and he married the daughter of the head of Sha clan."

Zhu Gaoxu said quietly, "It seems that the places in Dasongzhai that we have captured in the past few days are those who have a grudge against Liu Tai and others?"

Ma Peng looked embarrassed and nodded with a little hesitation, "I'm not hiding it from the prince, that's exactly what it is. Liu Tai and other Han people defected to the Longhai family of the Yi tribe. Some villages were from their relatives, and some were dissatisfied. In the past, the Yi tribes had a lot of internal struggles. When the prince's army came, Liu Tai wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the tribes that were dissatisfied among the natives of Yuezhou."

Zhu Gaoxu walked a few steps in the tent and said, "A few days later, the work in Yuezhou has been completed, and I still decided to let the Yi tribe Lu Ning be the chief chief of Yuezhou chieftain, and ask Liu Tai and others to assist Lu Ning to take charge of the natives first. General Yao and I will go back to Yunnan Prefecture City to meet your son, how about my daughter?"

Ma Peng's expression was complicated, his eyes brushed by the cloth rope that Zhu Gaoxu tied to his collar, and he finally nodded.
