Chapter 217 Is human nature evil?

Yang Ling received the imperial edict and rushed to the governor's office first, asking people to invite all dozens of adults in the prison and promulgated the edict in public. The decree said that the emperor heard that Gu Dayong had been imprisoned, and many officials were imprisoned innocently. He was worried and angry. He immediately released all the officials, restored his post and removed Gu Dayong from his post and investigated it.

After hearing the imperial edict, the officials were cheering and cried with joy. Yang Ling smiled and walked around the case, helped the officials covered in bruises and comforted him, and said that the Ming Zhaomo Officer Liu Guang was indeed a member of the Maitreya cult. Because he had died, he would not be investigated, but his property was confiscated.

Yang Ling revealed this news and told all officials that the emperor ordered the arrest of Maitreya religious believers not without targeting. There were indeed people from cults in the government, but Gu Dayong could not understand the holy intentions deeply, and he was slapped because of the choking and took improper measures.

As the head of the Dongchang Factory, Gu Dayong has a close relationship with the inner minister Liu Jin. Looking at officials at all levels at Datong, except for the King of Dai who was qualified and courageous to disgrace him and make suggestions to the emperor, Yang Ling was the only one.

Although the Dai King was siege at Bai Dengshan a few days ago, although everyone could see that the army would fall from the city and stayed in a position to support, he had to do it, but after all, he was charged with watching the king in danger and not rescue him. How could he come forward to make trouble at this time?

The officials had their own eyes and ears. Yesterday, his colleagues invited Yang Ling to come forward and asked him to make suggestions to the emperor. Someone had already quietly reported the news. They had already determined that Yang Ling was pleading for the officials in front of the emperor, so that everyone was able to escape from prison.

The timely helper is most grateful. In addition, during the Emperor's visit to Datong, Yang Ling was the one who made arrangements. This matter is obvious to all. Now that Boyan has severely defeated him and has saved Datong for several years, the public welfare and private favors are all due to this person. These local officials have regarded Yang Ling as a Shangguan in their hearts who can rely on and be close to the court.

Some stupid people are led by others to pull the donkey. Gu Dayong pulls the donkey and then leads the donkey to others. However, he is diligent and gets up early in the morning to raise the lobby to continue to question it. Although Gu Dayong dares not take out the most cruel punishments from the factory guards, ordinary torture instruments are not something that these officials can forbid.

The officials in the area where the wronged were punished hated him to the core, but when they entered the East Factory Gate, they would lose their skin without death." They just gritted their teeth and endured it. Liao Wujiu dared to curse in person.

Gu Dayong sat on the official hat chair with his legs crossed his legs, holding a teacup, and told people to hang two rows of officials on wooden racks without a smile, with big stones beside his feet "pull a big one".

The officials only ate a bowl of cold rice in the morning. Now their hands are tied, big rocks are tied around their ankles, and the ropes are bleeding. Several monks are shouting with great power: "Among you, you are not the people in the Maitreya cult, or the dirty officials who are bribed and exploited by them. If you don't want to suffer from this flesh and blood anymore, you will confess honestly. How much money did you collect from the Maitreya cult, and what did you do for them? Tell me..."

Before he finished speaking, two rows of blue-robed red hats and white boots of Park Knife entered the hall with high accent and stood on both sides of the lobby. Gu Dayong was stunned. Without orders and without notice, who dared to enter the hall so boldly?

However, he didn't know that since the East Factory's mansion was brutally attacked by the regular army of the inner factory's muskets and cannons, he suffered from severe "inner factory phobia". The capital also covered the news that the emperor left the capital, so Gu Dayong and Yang Fang also came to Datong as imperial envoys.

The so-called "evil people still need evil people to fight against each other." The subordinates of the Dongchang Imperial Commander were afraid from the bottom of their heart when they saw the Imperial Commander of the Imperial Commander. When Yang Ling personally led the Imperial Commander to announce the order, the guards outside the door were silent. Not only did they dare not stop them, they didn't even have the courage to leave to report the news.

Yang Ling Shi Shi Ran walked in, followed by Liu Biao and Wu Hanchao. Gu Dayong suddenly realized it when he saw it. He quickly stood up and smiled and said, "I'm talking, no wonder this group of monkeys didn't fart. It turned out that Lord Yang was here. Come on, come on, come on, please sit down, is the emperor concerned about the spies in Maitreya? Don't worry, if you have a governor, you have to dig out all of them even if you dig three feet of the ground."

Yang Ling said with a stern face: "Gu Dayong responds to the order!"

Gu Dayong was stunned, and quickly lifted his robe and knelt down. He approached the south. Yang Ling unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly, then collected the imperial edict, glanced at Gu Dayong's daze, and said with a robe sleeve: "Come on, peel off Gu Dayong's python robe and jade belt, and immediately put down all the adults."

Two rows of rovers immediately rushed up and put down the lords hanging there. Yang Ling bowed and said, "My lords and I have notified the family members of you to come and greet you. Please go back to the mansion first and be well-off, and restore your posts after recovery. Gu Dayong took the lord's order and imposed abusive punishment. The emperor has issued an order to investigate and deal with it. I will give you an explanation!"

Yang Ling waved his hand and the servants of all the adults were put in, crying and screaming. The adults were injured in their bare feet and couldn't stand steadily, and they still asked their families to support them to thank the emperor and Yang Ling, and said goodbye one by one.

Gu Dayong's face looked like earth and knelt there motionlessly until the people in the courtyard were in danger, he was shocked and pulled Yang Ling's robe sleeve and cried: "Mr. Yang, I want to see the emperor. I am loyal to the emperor."

Yang Ling stood upright with a calm face, and didn't even look at him. At this time, he saw that all the officials had been taken away. He suddenly changed his face and helped Gu Dayong up affectionately, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gu, what are you doing? Although you act recklessly, aroused resentment from civil and military officials in Datong and made the army uneasy. Last night, countless casualties were killed or injured in the camp. The soldiers in various towns were panicked and showed signs of mutiny. However, the emperor's house was kind and treated you well. Eunuch Gu's holy family has not yet declined, so please be content with peace of mind."

"Uh?" Gu Dayong heard that he had caused so many disasters. He turned pale after hearing this. When he heard it, he seemed to have room to return to the sky. Only a little bloody color came back to his pale face. He hurriedly wiped his tears, pulled Yang Ling's sleeve and said, "What do you say about this? The emperor has no old slaves?"

Yang Ling pulled Gu Dayong aside and whispered. When Gu Dayong heard this, he burst into tears and laughed, saying, "Thank you for mercy on our family. Alas, our family just wants to make contributions in front of the emperor, but underestimate the power of these local officials."

Yang Ling waved his hand and said, "Where is it, this is the mercy of the emperor. To be honest, this incident really caused great depression in the morale of the Datong army. Thousands of people were killed and injured in the "yingxiao" yesterday. There were signs of mutiny in the army. General Yang had no choice but to ask the emperor to punish the emperor to calm the morale of the army. It was forced to do so. Not to hide it from the emperor. Yang also made a generous remark in front of the emperor. He strongly advocated the removal of your post and investigated it!"

"Ah?" Gu Dayong thought Yang Ling had said good things for him, but he didn't expect that he would also take the blame. But now his future and life are in his hands, and he dare not attack. He was angry, his face turned pale and stammered and didn't know what to say.

Yang Ling whispered: "Eunuch Gu, the emperor is growing up slowly. This time, Bai Dengshan siege. The sharp edge of the thousands of troops is all the emperor, but the emperor is not afraid and calm. The emperor is not an ignorant child. We have a great personal friendship. But now you have caused such a big disaster. If I just beg you for mercy and get rid of your crime, what would the emperor think?"

"I am the head of the inner factory, you are the Dong Factory Mansion. Everyone has great power. When the emperor sees us being in the same spirit and echoing each other, how can he not be afraid? Even if he wanted to pardon you, he would have to make a quick decision to resolve future troubles. My father-in-law has taken care of the emperor since he was a child, and this relationship cannot be weak. If he sees me, he will take the blame and demand severe punishment. The emperor's compassion will be together...hahaha."

"Ah!" Gu Dayong suddenly realized, raised his finger and praised: "It turns out that sir is taking retreat as an advance, a brilliant plan, a brilliant plan. sir, I have taken great pains to make our family. This is really a sign of people's hearts over time. Dayong is so grateful!"

Although Yang Yiqing is straightforward, he is not a naughty man. Since he was bluntly asking the emperor to severely punish Gu Dayong, he did not care about his personal future at all. Yang Ling guessed that the atmosphere in the army was indeed tense and was about to break out. Without a dose of strong medicine, it would be difficult to calm the public's anger.

However, with the character of Emperor Zhengde protecting his shortcomings, it is really difficult for him to punish those close to him. If he does not help Yang Yiqing, Zhengde will definitely not make up his mind to deal with Gu Dayong, and then the situation in Datong will be critical. Now that he has helped Yang Yiqing, Gu Dayong will sooner or later know what he said before the emperor. Instead of letting him be suspicious and resentful, it is better to say it now so as not to create an unnecessary enemy.

Seeing Gu Dayong's appearance, Yang Ling sighed relieved and said with a heart-warming look at him: "Dude-in-law, since Yang entered Beijing, you and Eunuch Liu and others will take care of you. Inner and Outer Court, we are the closest. Who do you think I won't help you?

Unfortunately, you were reckless and gave someone a handle. The man in the East Factory could not continue to do it. After returning to Beijing, I advised the emperor to open up the sea ban. I have already recommended you to the emperor to go to Jiangnan to preside over the opening of the sea commerce. Hehe, at that time, all countries will be in exchange for gold and silver, and I don’t know how many people are jealous of this fat. My father-in-law is losing his grave and getting the harvest in the east."

Gu Dayong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, Yang Ling patted his shoulder again and said earnestly: "Eunuch Gu, you can't do whatever you want in the officialdom by relying on the emperor's favor. In the future, you must be cautious and do your best to do your business well. Not only will you be able to gain wealth and honor, but who can compare with you in this life and your reputation in a hundred years?"

He smiled slightly and said, "Think about how powerful the Three Treasures eunuch was in the past? Who wouldn't let him score three points in the outer court? It's impossible to rely on the unparalleled achievements, and it's hard to be so sharp if you don't have the unparalleled achievements!"

Wealth, fame, authority, and one beautiful future will make Gu Dayong blurry. The frustration of the removal of the Dongchang Supervisor was immediately wiped out. Just go to Jiangnan to do a big battle, and you can be as powerful as Zheng He.

He really listened to Yang Ling's warning words. He was the one who had done things with Li Guang. He once saw with his own eyes how Li Guang, the most beloved person of Emperor Hongzhi, went from being arrogant to being defeated. He thought that the little emperor could be deceived. Since taking power in the East Factory, he gradually became arrogant and became arrogant. After what happened today, he woke up in horror.

After hearing Yang Ling's confidant words, Gu Dayong was grateful and followed him to the inn obediently. Zhengde was scolded by a slander. Gu Dayong already knew where he would go to the place to go after returning to Beijing, so he just smiled and was careful, allowing Zhengde to vent his anger without arguing.

Zhengde cursed enough and felt that he was doing his own business. Although he had failed the work, it was better than those ministers in the court who were shirking their own will. The officials were removed and scolded to the point of being scolded. He was really pitiful and waved his hand to tell him down.

Yang Ling discussed with Zhengde on the matter of pacifying the army, and Zhengde issued an order to order the governor Hu Zan to visit the innocent officials who were imprisoned on behalf of the emperor. Then Yangling rushed to the pass pacifying army with another decree.

All the arrested officials in the Datong military were released and immediately regained their posts. The Dongchang Factory Office was dismissed and investigated. The soldiers of the three armies were rewarded and the entire army was withdrawn from the pass to rest. After returning to Beijing, the emperor promoted the title of generals who had been committed to fighting, and the border soldiers went to Beijing to change defenses. After hearing these exciting news, these soldiers were immediately excited and excited, and the mountains were shouting long live. For a moment, the mountains echoed, and the sounds spread inside and outside the Great Wall.

Although the morale of the army has been calmed down, the important areas of the border did not dare to be careless. Yang Ling and Yang Yiqing made plans to arrange Jing Foer and Xu Tai in two places stationed in heavy military passes. In addition, Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren each guarded one side, and the important passes around the Datong Du Renguo echoed each other. They controlled the other defenders. Once there was a mutiny, they could quickly divide and annihilate them quickly to prevent the situation from escalating.

It took two days to calm down. The emperor returned to Beijing and became a major event. Yang Ling had already learned the news of the four rumors in Beijing through various channels. The news had spread and became more and more bizarre as it spreads with intentional people. The people in the capital were panic, and Yang Ling was also afraid that the local vassal kings would have inappropriate ideas. At least the government was abandoned for too long, which was ultimately unfavorable to the country. If there was any chaos, the achievements of Datong would be wiped out. Seeing that Tang Yixian's condition had improved in the past few days, he set off for the trip back to Beijing.

When the emperor left the capital, he visited privately. Now, the news that the emperor defeated Boyan in Datong was in a situation where Yang Ling was willing to promote it. It was also spread to the world through official and internal factories. The emperor could not go quietly without emperor ceremonial guards when he returned to the capital. Therefore, the convoy was in a vast and storm, leaving Datong in an open manner, and set out towards the capital...

Cui Ying'er was hiding out at night during the day, avoiding the official layers of defense roads and taking a small road. She arrived in Xingzhuang two days later. After two days of itinerary, she had already made up her mind to die and be loyal to her. Her shame and embarrassment became a little weaker.

Innocence has been defiled. The person Hong Niangzi has the most shameless person to meet now is Yang Hu, but if she had just ended her life quietly, Yang Hu would have to count this revenge on Yang Ling's head.

Yang Ling has the power of heaven. No matter whether Yang Hu can kill him, there is a danger that he will be caught by the officers and soldiers. How could Cui Ying'er be willing to commit another crime before her death? She had to bite the bullet and come to see Yang Hu shyly.

Along the way, she also carefully studied the last words of Uncle Wu at his death, but she could not understand the meaning of the sentence "Li Fuda is in the group". She has been living in the world for many years, but she has never heard of the sect or place name such as "group" or "group". She had asked local farmers on the way, but she could not find out the details. This matter became a depressed heart.

However, she knew Master Huo Wu's Kung Fu. Now that she calmed down, she also expected that if she didn't have the opportunity to attack, she would definitely not be Li Fuda's opponent with her martial arts. She would pass the news of Uncle Wu's death back to the mountains. Perhaps she would know the meaning of Uncle Wu's words like her father, so that she would find out where Li Fuda was hiding and avenge him. Before her death, there were only these two things that were not yet fulfilled.

Xingzhuang Julong Inn is the largest land, car and horse shop, with all kinds of cultures and various kinds of things, and it is easy to hide traces. Cui Ying'er arrived at the place and observed quietly, and found that there were no officers and soldiers. The yamen paid more attention to the inn, so she sneaked into the store to ask the waiter to read the book of the hotel, but did not find Yang Hu and others agreed in advance to stay in the hotel with a pseudonymous guest.

Hong Niangzi felt nervous. Could it be that something happened to Yang Hu and the others? Cui Ying'er, who has always been strong, was so arrogant that when she first entered the capital, she would dare to make a breakthrough even if necessary. However, during this trip to Datong, she lost her life and lost her body. She was like a walnut with a hard shell knocked open, and she could not withstand such bad news.

The Hongniang left the inn and turned around and found that there were several seemingly meaningless patterns carved on the gable wall of the house. They were just some simple circles, squares and arrow lines, messy and like things that a child was bored and randomly drew on the adobe wall, but the position was a little higher.

The Hongniang looked carefully for a while and turned around and walked onto the street. A girl dressed in an ordinary village girl and looked unstable quickly disappeared from the abortion...

It's late at night.

To the west of Xingzhuang is a river channel that is more than 100 meters wide. In many places, the river water is divided into several streams, and it flows shallowly in several deeper gullies in the river channel. Only when a mountain flood breaks out will the entire river channel be filled with yellow-brown floods. The flood water will flow out of the river channel and floods will flood the high ground on both sides, so no one built a house to settle down in this area.

Nowadays, there is snow in the river. Several shallow frozen ice in the river water becomes thin and crispy as the weather gradually warms up. If you accidentally sank it, your shoes will be wet.

Tonight is a crescent moon, with crescent moons curved, and a faint silver light spreads gently on the earth.

Under the moonlight, a figure passed through the river like a cat, lying on the shore quietly for a while, but did not find anyone following her, so she rose up again and left gracefully. During the several ups and downs, she leaned in the snow and turned back, and with her alertness, although the moonlight was dim, it was really difficult to follow her.

There are three long-abandoned kilns below the mountain. One of them limped out with a wooden stick, squatting down and filling the half-broken pot with snow. There are bulging rocks and mounds on the left and right, and the ground in front becomes bumpy due to digging and burning the kiln. It looks mottled and deserted in the moonlight.

"Sledgehammer, I'll do it. You're inconvenient, go and rest for a while." Yang Hu walked out and said to him, reaching out to get the clay pot.

Hu Dahui snorted heavily, reached out to pull the pottery jar, and blocked it with intentional or unintentional. Yang Hu was told a trick, and his face became hot and he whispered angrily: "Dahui, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Dachui was silent for a moment and said in a muffled voice: "The boss, my sister-in-law goes to the city to kill Yang Ling. What are we saying? First attack a few checkpoints to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. As long as my sister-in-law enters the city safely, we will come to Xingzhuang to wait for her. Is that true?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Yang Hu's eyes shrank, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with me? The boss, my brothers follow you through life and death, and they don't frown, but we can't fight a fool. I heard that the emperor fought with the Tartars in the three guards of Duoyan outside the Datonghui Alliance.

At this moment, the city was full of soldiers. Is it so easy for my sister-in-law to find an opportunity to have a man named Yang? Can't we be so tired of waiting for my sister-in-law to come back? Well, you took us to wash the Hu Laocai family in Hujiaba. There were more than ten wolf dogs in the family. I didn't understand the plate in advance. Wu Lao Er was dragged by the dog, so that his manure fork was slaughtered to death. Isn't it coward?"

He grabbed the dog-skin hat and started crying, crying and suddenly shone his face, "Immediately, I went to Huangyang Guard to attack and kill the command of the guard. Isn't this a mortal? Just a few of us are covered in iron and can we make a few nails? These fights are all messy and confused. The good brothers are almost dead, and the black kite is lying in the kiln. There is no doctor or medicine. Do you want to take revenge tomorrow night? Brother, what are you doing?"

The smile on Yang Hu's face turned cold, and his lips twitched for a moment, and he asked sternly: "Sadhammer, what is the first rule of our copycat? Have you forgotten?"

Hu Dachui raised his head and said stubbornly: "I have not forgotten that we are the leader of the country and order the flag to go all over the world. If we violate the order of the leader, everyone will kill his leader! But whether we are a group of tigers or a group of wolves, the leader cannot know that it is a dead end, but he will take everyone in. Will we do these things help my sister-in-law?

The master of the army, how did Hong Fuzhi die in the garrison? You said! He could obviously avoid that arrow, but you just happened to dodge behind him, leaving him with nowhere to avoid it. He was forced to get the arrow? I didn't think too much at the time, and the more I came back, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I was thinking about it, the more I was getting worse."

A dangerous light began to flash in Yang Hu's eyes. He smiled and said, "Slayhammer, this is what you are wrong. You said, they are all good brothers who live and die together. Could it be that I was deliberately harming him? What am I trying to do?"

Hu Dachui growled in grief and said, "I just can't figure it out. What are you planning? What are you going to take everyone to death? But you are clearly asking everyone to die! I won't go tomorrow night, I'm going to tie a doctor to treat Black Yaozi's injuries and carry him back to the village. My blind mother is only one son, and I have to think of getting him back."

After Hu Dahui said that, he got up and walked into the cave. The light flashed in Yang Hu's eyes. When he saw him walking to the entrance of the cave, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, shouted softly and stood up, and punched his soft fists hard.

Hu Dahui practiced his kung fu in a horizontal manner, but his hard skills were not as good as Yang Hu. He caught off guard and hit the weak point again. He let out a "uh" sound, and a few "Kala" bones broke. Hu Dahui hit the earth kiln with a bang, and the broken bones pierced into the heart, and blood foam overflowed from his mouth.

He stared at Yang Hu with his horrified and disbelief and said with a hissing: "Why? Why? You...you..."

Under the moonlight, his eyes looked like a biting cold arrow. He didn't dare to look at Hu Dachu's eyes again, but the eyes were instantly staring at him. Yang Hu shrank for a moment, then roared with annoyance and hatred, pounced on him and punched Hu Dachu's chest again.

Bone cracks, chest sinking, blood surge.

Yang Hu was crazy, holding his shoulder with one hand, clenched it into an iron fist with the other hand, and punched him hard in the chest. His trembling voice growled in anger with a trembling voice: "Don't look at me! I don't want to get your blood with my own hands, why are you forcing me? Why are you forcing me? You bastard!"

With the dull sound of hitting the flesh, Hu Dachu's strong body pressed against the mud kiln, his chest collapsed, blood flowed out of his mouth, and kept flowing on Yang Hu's hands and arms, spraying on his face. He was like crazy, and while he was hitting, he shed tears: "You are all my good brothers, why are you the ones who ruined my good deeds? You are looking for death, you are looking for death yourself!"
