Although Jin Yiwei's eighth inspection team was under a lot of pressure from public opinion, the imperial court ordered them to continue the thorough investigation, and they could only resist the pressure.
According to the clues, they successively arrested Lu Yi, the third-rank quartermaster of the Fifth Field Army Corps, and the eight principals of the eleven warehouses under him.
These people have all committed the same crime, that is, enriching their own pockets and reselling military rations based on their power.
Many people in Jinyiwei were once transferred from the Operations Executive Department of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, so there are also various interrogation methods.
Under the interrogation of Jin Yiwei, all of these people who were arrested were stiff at first, but they all recruited later.
Jin Yiwei continued to arrest some officials and ordinary guards involved in Baima Pass based on the clues of the interrogation.
Jin Yiwei is under the pressure of huge public opinion to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials. After the news came out, some people undoubtedly panicked.
They thought that by fanning the flames and creating pressure from public opinion, the court would be able to withdraw the Jinyiwei inspection team.
However, what they never expected was that the imperial court turned a blind eye to the turbulent public opinion, and the Jinyiwei inspection team remained unmoved, and instead became more and more aggressive.
Especially seeing everyone familiar with them being arrested, those who have ghosts in their hearts are also frightened, afraid that Jin Yiwei will come to the door.
Therefore, some people took action overnight, hoping to take the initiative to fight back and prevent themselves from falling into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
So in the middle of the night, Zhang Yun, the commander of the 23rd Field Banner stationed at Baima Pass, and Xu Rui, the commander of the 22nd Field Banner, united a group of middle and lower-level officers and asked to see the regiment commander Wang Cheng.
"what's going on?"
Wang Cheng, head of the Fifth Field Army, was woken up late at night. He was also taken aback when he saw two banner heads leading a group of officers to see him, thinking that something had happened.
"Master Legion, we are here to say goodbye to you."
? Xu Rui, the head of the 22nd Banner, also had a low voice when he saw Wang Cheng, the head of the army who was full of confusion.
"how do I say this?"
"In the name of punishing corruption, the Eighth Inspection Team of Jinyiwei has arrested people wantonly at Baimaguan. During the day, Lu Yi and others have been arrested. It is estimated that I will be arrested soon. See you adults, come here to bid farewell."
After hearing the words of these officers under his command, Wang Cheng, the head of the army, also invited everyone to sit in the living room.
"Don't think too much about it. I know about Jin Yiwei's arrest of Lu Yi and others. I heard that Lu Yi was reselling military rations." Wang Cheng comforted him.
"As the generals of my fifth army, the Jinyiwei inspection team will not target you for no reason, so you can rest assured."
"Master Legion, if you want to add a crime, there is no excuse."
"The inspection team of the Jinyiwei came to Baima Pass for no reason, stirring up the smoky atmosphere at Baima Pass."
"He arrested Lu Yi today in the name of corruption, and tomorrow he will arrest me in the name of treason."
"I have been following the Legion Commander for a long time, and they are clearly targeting you, the Legion Commander, when they deal with us." Someone said angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, the people outside can't be trusted."
After hearing what his officer said, Wang Cheng's complexion also changed slightly, and he reprimanded him.
"My lord, I don't think that's a rumor."
"Now Jinyiwei's eighth inspection team is arresting people wantonly. If we are all arrested and sent to prison, then the leader of the army will be in danger."
"At that time, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves in the prison, and it will be difficult to protect the leader of the legion at that time."
"Master Legion Commander, we can't wait to die."
"Now people put knives on our necks and kill me for fish."
Xu Rui, the head of the 22nd Banner, Zhang Yun, the head of the 23rd Banner, and a group of officers were excited and persuaded Wang Cheng, the head of the army.
Wang Cheng has also heard a lot of rumors recently, and it was the time when he was feeling irritable. Hearing these words now, he undoubtedly felt even worse.
"You can go back at ease. You are members of my fifth field army. If anyone dares to touch you, I will definitely not sit idly by."
Facing these excited generals, although Wang Cheng was upset, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted them.
"It's not peaceful in Qingzhou now, you go back and make sure that the restraint arrangement is good, and don't cause trouble,If anything happens, report to me immediately. "
"Okay, let's all go back and rest."
After Wang Cheng, the head of the legion, appeased the crowd, he also issued an order to expel the guests.
Xu Rui, Zhang Yun and others also left disappointed when they saw that they did not persuade the army commander Wang Cheng.
"Master Legion, this is pedantic."
"Jin Yiwei is clearly coming for us. If we don't resist, we will probably be cleaned up."
"Who says it's not? Lu Yike has given us a lot of benefits. He was arrested, and we can't get rid of it."
Zhang Yun and Xu Rui have now become frightened birds, after all, they wear the same pants as the quartermaster Lu Yi.
If Lu Yi, the quartermaster, couldn't bear Jin Yiwei's interrogation and confessed them, not only would they not be able to serve as the head of the banner, but they might lose their heads.
This is also the reason why they mobilized a group of officers to lobby Wang Cheng, the head of the army, hoping that Wang Cheng could lead them to rebel against the court.
But Wang Cheng, the head of the army, is a mature and prudent person. Although he is also anxious in his heart, he is not willing to easily oppose the court.
"We can't sit idly by. Since the leader of the regiment is unwilling to take the lead, let's force him to take the lead." Xu Rui, head of the 22nd Banner, said.
"you mean?"
Xu Rui said murderously: "Lead someone to destroy the Eighth Inspection Team of Jinyiwei!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yun, the head of the 23rd Banner, also took a deep breath, because it was too crazy.
"If we don't destroy them, once we are found out, none of us will be able to get rid of the responsibility."
"If the inspection team is wiped out, the imperial court will definitely pursue it, and you and I will definitely die."
"What are you afraid of?"
"If the inspection team is destroyed, the imperial court will definitely suspect that our army chief ordered it. It is difficult for the army chief to explain clearly. If he doesn't want to die, so he can only turn against the imperial court!"
"If he still follows the court with all his heart when the time comes, then we will do it ourselves!"
Xu Rui showed enthusiasm on his face and said: "At that time, we will sacrifice the White Horse Pass and seek refuge in Hanhai, and maybe we can be named princes and kings!"
"The craftsman Xie Rong defected to Hanhai and could be a Marquis of Shunyi, and we can be a prince no matter what."
Seeing that Zhang Yun, the head of the 23rd Banner, had doubts about this, Zhang Yun, the head of the 22nd Banner, added.
"That's fine, that's it, let's kill the inspection team first!"
After a little thought, Zhang Yun, head of the 23rd Banner, gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
As long as they create trouble, even if Wang Cheng is unwilling, he will be coerced by public opinion and have to make some choices.
They will also avoid being found out and lose their heads. Maybe they can get promoted and make a fortune after taking refuge in Han Hai.
The reason why they threatened Wang Cheng, the head of the Shoujun, was because of Wang Cheng's high prestige, and only Wang Cheng took the lead to succeed.
After all, the two of them are only generals at the level of the head of the banner, neither in prestige nor in the ability to control the army.
With Wang Cheng, the head of the army, taking the lead, everything will be much easier to handle. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
