Chapter 86 (12) How to find a scapegoat

Zhang Guangsi and Neqin, who were escorted back to the capital, were miserable for the two brothers. The most tragic one is Neqin. Although the Battle of Dajinchuan was personally commanded by Qianlong, Qianlong needed an extra-large scapegoat at this time.The historical mission of acting as a scapegoat fell on Neqin's head. In fact, Neqin is very capable, and he cannot and will not be a prime minister.However, if the war is entangled, the soldiers will be lost, and the money will be exhausted. Someone must take care of this matter. You can't say that Emperor Qianlong is too bad!Since Qianlong was wise and powerful, Naqin had to do his best.

But there is nothing wrong with what Neqin did, and there must be mistakes if there is no mistake, how can it be done if there is no mistake?So Qianlong squatted down and took a magnifying glass to look for the fault carefully on Neqin's body, but he really couldn't find it.This is strange, how could there be no mistakes?Qianlong swept his eyes again, hey, when Neqin was in Dajinchuan, he relied heavily on a local named Wang Qiu, and Wang Qiu, he was actually the secretary of Xiaojinchuan chieftain Zewang. With it, things are easy to handle. There is nothing wrong with Neqin, and there is nothing wrong with this Wang Qiu?impossible!

However, since Neqin is a Beijing official, how could he have anything to do with Xiao Jinchuan's secretary, Wang Qiu?It turned out that it was recommended by Zhang Guangsi.But this is not right, Zhang Guangsi was also transferred from Yungui for this battle, so he shouldn't have anything to do with Wang Qiu! After further investigation, it was finally found out. It turned out that Zhang Guangsi had two family members under his command, one named Xue Er and the other named Jiao Xiude.The identity of Xue Er is similar to the manager of the public relations department, and what Jiao Xiude does is similar to that of the office director. To put it bluntly, it is Zhang Guangsi's hands and feet, and Zhang Guangsi communicates with the outside world through these two people.And Wang Qiu met Xue Er first, and then Jiao Xiude, so Xue and Jiao introduced Wang Qiu to Zhang Guangsi, and Zhang Guangsi brought Wang Qiu to meet Neqin.In the end, Neqin learned about Da Jinchuan's situation through Wang Qiu's introduction.

After checking this step, it is basically almost the same.An order was issued to arrest Zhang Guangsi's family members Xue Er and Jiao Xiude and beat them to death. The unlucky Xue Er and Jiao Xiude both entered the big prison. The criminal officer piled up hundreds of instruments of torture in front of them, including leather whips and tiger stools, all kinds of things: whether you recruit or not, whether you recruit or not, papa, Clap, clap... until Xue Erjiao Xiude was born, one Buddha was born, two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he kept wailing loudly: I recruit, I recruit, I recruit all... But everyone, do you really want us to recruit? what?

The devil knows what you should recruit. Anyway, if you don't recruit, we will beat you to death. Poor Xue Er and Jiao Xiude were tortured into several pieces by torture tools, and they couldn't be recruited if they didn't want to, so they recruited them for everything they could think of. Xue Er and Jiao Xiude confessed that the two of them teamed up with Wang Qiu, the secretary of Xiaojinchuan's chieftain Zewang, and went to Xiaojinchuan to find the first beauty, Ah Kou, and Ah Kou's lover Liang Erji, and cheated the two living treasures of 3,000 taels of silver. 96 taels of gold.The silver was a dowry cheated from Ah Kou, and the gold was cheated from Ah Kou's lover Liang Erji, but Liang Erji had no money, so he took a golden bowl and sent these guys away.And that golden bowl happened to be 96 taels of gold.

After returning, Xue Eryue thought about it and felt that Zewang was cheap, so he went to Zewang again, and lied to the fool that as long as he gave out 200 taels of silver, he would be responsible for settling Ah Kou's lover Liang Erji and making Ah Kou willing Had sex with her husband Zewang.Zewang was overjoyed and paid the money immediately. After receiving this confession, Qianlong was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to Yingtai to interrogate Zhang Guangsi himself.It is clearly written in the history books: On the seventh day of the first day, Ding Hai, the emperor Yu Yingtai, kissed Zhang Guangsi.

Qianlong's interrogation of Zhang Guangsi was no different from the interrogation of Xue Er and Jiao Xiude by the criminal officers. They were all the same routine, but the number and variety of torture instruments were a little more.Poor Zhang Guangsi was frightened by this posture, and kept screaming: Your Majesty, what happened to me?I am loyal, my lord, don't hit me, what on earth did you ask me to recruit... The history books say: (Zhang Guangsi) is cunning and deceitful, and the emperor orders punishment. Zhang Guangsi didn't know what Qianlong asked him to recruit, and Qianlong himself couldn't tell.Since everyone can't figure it out, let's use punishment.

For the whole night, Zhang Guangsi was torn to pieces by thousands of instruments of torture, and she was no longer in human form.After dawn, Emperor Qianlong ordered the pile of minced meat to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Emperor Qianlong said: the legal system, the legal system, we must act by the law and rule the country by the law. The pile of minced meat that used to be Zhang Guangsi was loaded into a truck by the Ministry of Punishment, and dragged to the execution ground for another process to chop it even more rotten. After killing Zhang Guangsi, Emperor Qianlong was refreshed, so he came to see his relatives: Xiao Na, we should talk about our affairs, right?

Neqin blinked: Your Majesty, what's the matter with us? Emperor Qianlong reminded: One general is incompetent, exhausting the whole army to death, you failed my training, and even reused the traitor Wang Qiu, so that you lost the opportunity before the battle, what do you think about this matter? Wang Qiu is a traitor?Neqin was confused: Your Majesty, isn't it, then Wang Qiu...he is just the secretary of Xiao Jinchuan chieftain Zewang, who took advantage of the feud between Zewang Akou and the young couple to cheat some money, this...this seems to be different from a traitor Are you close?

So close, too close.Emperor Qianlong said: This Wang Qiu is obviously a Han, but he works as a secretary for Zewang. This is obviously a traitor.You said that you, as an important minister in the court, got involved with a traitor, what kind of thing is this! Your Majesty, you...are angry with your relatives. Qianlong: Forget yours, be brave, and take up your historical responsibility. Neqin was ordered to commit suicide and take full responsibility, while Wang Qiu, chieftain secretary of Xiaojinchuan, was inexplicably written into the official history by Qianlong's official historian as a traitor.Until now, historians still use this as an argument.
