The fourth volume, the forty-first chapter, the crime to be added
Is this a bit exaggerated by the commander of Zhenhaiwei Lu Dayong? He has never seen warships, muskets, and artillery, and he has to sign for it. If he doesn't sign it, he may be dismissed. Are you making a mistake?
What he said is not an exaggeration at all. The current Ming Dynasty officialdom is so dark!
Zhao Wenhua and Tu Dashan just asked him to sign short documents, which was nothing at all. If Zhao Wenhua and Tu Dashan wanted to be greedy for money, even if he asked him to pay for these warships, muskets and cannons that would not be issued to him at all, he would have to pay for it, otherwise, people would definitely find ways to get him the commander.
This kind of thing is too normal in the officialdom. Zhao Wenhua and Tu Dashan even wanted to get rid of the real power generals like Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong, let alone his little commander.
Several jury officials did not feel exaggerated at all after hearing Lu Dayong's words, but were quite surprised by Zhao Wenhua and Tu Dashan's behavior.
You are so fucking. It’s all right. If you don’t give weapons and equipment to other coastal garrisons, you can give them to pirates and Japanese pirates to deal with the coastal garrisons. This is simply like traitoring the country!
Tu Dashan certainly knew that this kind of behavior was equivalent to treason. If Jiajing knew, or if Jiajing believed it, he would definitely be done.
He must not admit such a thing. At this moment, he has no choice but to be stubborn and refuse to admit it.
He glared at Lu Dayong angrily, and then argued: "There is nothing you can say. What are you talking nonsense? I have never forced you to sign any official documents? You obviously took the things and sold them to pirates and Japanese pirates. Now I am biting me back, saying that I didn't get anything at all, and I also falsely accused me of forcing you to sign any official documents. It's simply outrageous!"
Damn it, you are outrageous.
When Lu Dayong heard this, he became angry. He was a little afraid of Tu Dashan. After all, he was the successor of the Tu family in Ningbo. Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, was the backer of Yan Song. He was a small commander of the ward. He was just a fucking fuck in front of him and disappeared when he jumped.
However, he was not without a backstage. Zhenhaiwei was in Changzhou Prefecture, and Gu Kexue, the Minister of Works, was his backstage. Although Gu Kexue was not as good as Yan Song, he was much better than this governor of Yingtian Tu Dashan.
Besides, Gu Kexue is following the Governor Yang Cong. No matter how awesome Yan Song is, how can he be the Governor?
You said I'm accusing you, right? OK, I'll accus you of accusing you!
He pretended to be righteous and said seriously: "Mr. Tu, you are smart. Every time you order people to pass verbal orders and never leave any evidence, which makes us those of you unable to expose you. However, the facts are there, pirates and Japanese pirates rampant Yangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are not fake? At the beginning, you forced the officials to cooperate with the pirates and Japanese pirates to plunder in Changzhou Prefecture. If the officials do not disobey your order, Changzhou Prefecture will probably be the same as Suzhou Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture!"
Damn it, I have never given such an order!
Tu Dashan has indeed never issued such an order, because Zhao Wenhua has always been responsible for this matter, and he is only responsible for providing warships, muskets and artillery.
Besides, pirates and Japanese pirates went ashore to rob, are not trivial matters. Even if they needed cooperation, he would find commanders and Qianhu, who defected to the wealthy maritime merchants. Those like Lu Dayong who were not in the same camp as them at all, how could he go to find someone?
He really didn't expect that Lu Dayong, a small commander of the Tunwei, would dare to talk nonsense in front of him. If Zhao Wenhua was the governor, he would have to kill this guy.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhua is dead at this moment, and the Governor is their rival, Yang Cong.
He could only argue loudly: "You, you are talking nonsense and slandering people. When did this official give such an order?"
Hehe, so what if you swear by someone?
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but feel proud. Lu Dayong was just slandering people, and he made others criticize him. Since it was a testimony, he naturally didn't need any evidence. He was just talking nonsense. Why?
At that time, as long as Jiajing believes it!
He also pretended to be serious and said seriously: "Tu Dashan, now, everyone, the evidence is complete, what else do you have to say?"
Me, me, me, damn it!
Tu Dashan really didn't expect that Yang Cong was so shameless. He found a commander who defected to the Gu family to slander him. If he asked him to find such a witness, it would be fine if he found ten or eight.
The problem is that it is Yang Cong who is in charge now, not him.
Although Lu Dayong was talking nonsense, it sounded like that. At least, the expressions of the several jury officials present were clearly believed.
What to do?
Tu Dashan had no choice but to defend himself loudly: "Sir, how can one-sided words be trusted? The official has never given such an order!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong nodded slightly and said, "Well, one-sided words should not be trusted easily. It is not enough to have Lu Dayong's confession."
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled Lu Dayong to retreat, and then said to the gate: "Another successor witness."
Soon, a personal guard came in with his personal certificate again.
However, this time the witness was escorted in with his hands on his back, and as soon as he came in, the guard pressed him to the ground.
Tu Dashan glanced at the witness and couldn't help but wonder.
Who is this?
He didn't know him at all!
Yang Cong asked calmly: "Who is in the hall? Let's sign up."
The man replied honestly: "Caomin Zhao Liu, pay homage to the Governor."
Yang Cong nodded slightly, then asked, "Say, why are you pretending to be a Japanese pirate?"
Zhao Liu replied honestly: "The villain was forced to do it, because the villain had followed the maritime merchants under the Ningbo Tu family to make a living at sea a few years ago. My life had already been in the hands of others. This time, the Ningbo Tu family had an order, and the villain dared not refuse to obey."
Yang Cong nodded slightly again and said, "What do you mean is the Ningbo Tu family forced you, right?"
Zhao Liu nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, sir."
Yang Cong immediately asked again: "Who is next to you? Do you know him?"
Zhao Liu looked at Tu Dashan carefully, then said timidly: "The villain knows that this person is a high-ranking official from the Tu family in Ningbo, Tu Dashan Tu."
Yang Cong nodded slightly, then said to Tu Dashan: "What else do you have to say?"
Tu Dashan is so angry, can you be even more shameless? Is it okay to just find a cat and a dog as a human witness?
He said straightforwardly: "Sir, the official does not know this person at all. Why do you let such a person talk nonsense here?"
Yang Cong didn't pee him, but instead asked Zhao Liudao: "You said you know Tu Dashan, but are you talking nonsense?"
Zhao Liu quickly explained: "No, sir, sir, sir are also from Yin County. It is only a few streets away from Tu Mansion. How could he not know Tu Dashan Tu?"
This means that he knows Tu Dashan, and Tu Dashan may not necessarily know him.
But that's enough.
Yang Cong turned around and asked Tu Dashan again, "There are all human and physical evidence, what else do you have to say?"
You have to say anything, I said damn it!
It is impossible to make him confess his guilt.
He simply stubbornly said, "If you want to add a crime, there is no reason. The Lord insists on governing the crime of the lower officials, and the lower officials have nothing to say. However, justice is in the hearts of the people. The lower officials believe that if Lord Yan, the chief minister of the cabinet, knows this, he will definitely preside over justice for the lower officials."
