Chapter six hundred and eighty second arrest
Commander Yu was taken down by Li Zhang, and the truth of the whole case was revealed. In fact, this case is not complicated. The key is that it involves the entire Quanzhou officialdom. It is precisely because Sun Li and his group of officials were able to cover the situation that Dong Qing had no way to sue and finally had to go to the capital to file a lawsuit.
After taking Commander Yu, Li Zhang immediately summoned all the generals in the navy in the name of the other party. Then, according to Commander Yu's confession, he took down all his confidants in the army. The remaining generals didn't know what was going on at this time. When they saw that Li Zhang, the Marquis of Dingbei, actually captured his immediate superior, they didn't know what to react?
However, Li Zhang quickly took out the military transfer document Zhao Zhen gave him and announced that he had temporarily controlled the military power of the Quanzhou Navy. This made the remaining generals dare not hesitate anymore and immediately swore allegiance to Li Zhang. However, Li Zhang did not dare to really believe these people. After all, no one knew whether there was any of them the confidant of Commander Yu?
So after taking over the Quanzhou Navy temporarily, Li Zhang immediately inserted his imperial guards and commander Hu's navy soldiers into the Quanzhou Navy, allowing them to temporarily take over many important positions. In this way, even if someone wants to launch a rebellion, he will not be able to mobilize his troops. After all, most of the soldiers will not really want to rebel.
After the navy was taken over by Li Zhang, the first thing Li Zhang thought of was arresting people. Commander Yu couldn't hide the arrest for long. If Sun Li knew that the matter was exposed, he might have done something. Moreover, Li Zhang had no intention of fighting with these corrupt officials anymore, so he simply used the simplest and most direct method to deal with it. This would save time and he could go back early.
So in this case, Li Zhang transferred out five thousand people to Quanzhou City and surrounded Quanzhou City. Of course, it was said to be a besiege, but in fact it only controlled the city gate. After receiving Li Zhang's order, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to move around at this time, and could only watch the soldiers of the navy enter the city to arrest people.
Li Zhang did not enter the city, mainly because the entire Quanzhou officialdom was terrible. With the precedent of Commander Yu, no one knew whether the defenders in Quanzhou City were involved, so Li Zhang had to be careful.
At the same time, Sun Li and others in the city were also waiting anxiously. After Li Zhang arrested Ma Fengjie yesterday, they were all very scared. After all, Ma Fengjie was also one of them. If the other party confessed all of them, it would probably be the end of the death of the head. After all, they committed too many things before. Dong Qing's family massacre was just one of them, and there were various other crimes, each of which could kill them.
In this case, Sun Li and others could only take risks. Li Zhang and others are now in the navy camp. If Commander Yu can kill Li Zhang directly and then use the power of the entire Quanzhou officialdom to hide the matter, they will have the final say in how to report it at that time. Even if the court finds out that something is wrong, there is no evidence. Even if it can't hide it, Commander Yu can be pushed out as a scapegoat.
Moreover, Sun Li and the others were not afraid that Commander Yu would not obey the orders, because they had countless evidence of Commander Yu's crimes in their hands, and they were grasshoppers on a rope. If Li Zhang insisted on investigating them, they would all be ruined.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Sun Li and the others wanted to take the chance. However, after the letter was sent out, none of them went back. Instead, they sat at Sun Li's house waiting for the news of the navy camp outside the city. Although they also knew that it was very risky to put all their hopes on the commander, they were all a group of civil servants, and they could not hold on to them. The most important thing was that they did not have the courage to murder a royal relative himself, so they could only hope to use the commander and commander to fulfill their expectations.
However, as time passed by minute by minute, Sun Li and others slowly fell into anxiety. Some began to walk around, some began to regret the words, and some even gritted their teeth and restless. Although Sun Li still maintained the surface calm at this time, his clenched fists still exposed the tension in his heart.
In fact, when Sun Li suddenly heard that Li Zhang, the Marquis of Dingbei, came to Quanzhou from the capital, he had a bad premonition. When he saw Ma Fengjie being arrested with his own eyes, he felt like he was hit by lightning, but he did not dare to show it on the surface. Finally, after discussing with everyone, and after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he finally decided to kill Li Zhang to silence him. Although it would bring great danger in the future, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
However, Sun Li now regretted it. He did not regret killing Li Zhang to silence the matter, but felt that his decision was too hasty. Li Zhang also brought a lot of guards from the capital. Commander Yu was a cash bag. It was too risky to bet on such a person.
"I had known that I should have held Li Zhang first, and then find an opportunity to concentrate my efforts to kill Li Zhang in one fell swoop. This is the perfect solution. I am really too confused!" Sun Li whispered to himself at this time, and the anxiety in his eyes almost increased.
But it is too late to regret now. Commander Yu may have already launched it. If it becomes the best, but if it fails, then all of them will be dead.
At this moment, suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside, which made everyone present raise their heads and stare at the door with a burning eyes. Then a person who looked like a manager rushed in and shouted to Sun Li: "Old... the master is in trouble. Some officers and soldiers blocked the city gate and rushed into the city. Now the city is in chaos, and I don't know what happened?"
Hearing the report from the manager, everyone present looked pale, and some people fainted from the ground in fear. Sun Li also shook his body and almost collapsed to the ground. If Commander Yu succeeded, it would be impossible to send troops to block the city gate. The only explanation is that Li Zhang is still alive and now he will send troops to the city to arrest them.
"It's over, it's all over. Sun Li, you killed us!" One of the fat officials shouted twice at first, then pointed at Sun Li and cursed.
Not everyone agreed to kill Li Zhang during the discussion yesterday. After all, it was too risky to do so, but in the end, there were still many people who supported him. Sun Li also made a decision with a decisive sound, but now it has failed. Even though he knew that everyone was going to die, some people still put the blame on Sun Li, and after some people took the lead, others jumped up and accused Sun Li.
Sun Li didn't have time to pay attention to these sanity people at this time. He was full of fear now. Thinking of the crimes he had committed over the years, no matter which one was a death sentence, and with the murder of royal relatives, he might have to kill the nine clans. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fight a cold war.
However, it was too late to regret it at this time. With the noise in the front yard, the soldiers sent by Li Zhang finally came to Sun Li's mansion. With the chaos in the mansion, someone rushed into the hall soon. Then a short and strong middle-aged man walked out and said, "Sun Li, you are so brave. At the order of the marquis, you will be arrested and brought to justice!"
This short and strong middle-aged man was Commander Hu from Hangzhou. There were not many people around Li Zhang who could use it, and he had to leave his confidant to control the Navy camp. Commander Hu was from Hangzhou and had nothing to do with Quanzhou, so Li Zhang would use him with confidence.
With the order of Commander Hu, the soldiers behind him rushed over like tigers and wolves, taking down all the officials of Sun Li and others. In Quanzhou City, similar scenes were also staged everywhere. As long as the officials involved were involved, all the mansions were sealed, and even their families were arrested and brought to justice.
