Chapter 359 Reversal

After hearing Tian Ergeng's words, many Jinyiwei people present showed an expression of agreement. Although they had many grudges with Huang Conghu and others, they were brothers who had worked with Jinyiwei for many years, and their behavior was not much different from that of Huang Conghu and the others. Now that they were punished so heavily by Tang Feng, everyone felt a little sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Tian Ergeng saw all the reactions, and his confidence naturally became even more strong. He continued: "And you may not know that Huang Conghu and others have also made many contributions to my Jinyi Personal Army. If you must punish them, it will be too disappointing for everyone."

Tang Feng looked at the people below, then looked at Tian Ergeng who thought he was sure to win, and a smile appeared on his lips: "The admiral's words can be understood. After all, they are subordinates for many years, and I really don't want to see them suffer. But there is one thing I must explain, I did this for the sake of the reputation of my Jinyiwei. Everyone, my Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army. If we can't even comply with military discipline, what else can we use to ask other soldiers?"

"Although Tang Tongzhi's words make some sense, the fault of this matter is not entirely due to our brothers. Why should you keep it tightly?" Tian Ergeng said: "Maybe even those who have conflicts with us may not take this matter seriously. Lord Tang, are you too chasing for the full blaming? And I also heard about something. When the two sides had a conflict, people from the Five City Military and Ma Si rushed over and were blocked by a person holding the ivory waist card of my Jinyiwei. I wonder if you have ulterior motives for making such an arrangement?"

When the people below heard this, they immediately became suspicious, and their eyes looked at Tang Feng were a little wrong. Tang Feng smiled calmly and said, "Yes, for fear of the expansion of the matter and causing unnecessary trouble, I asked the servant to take my waist card to stop the visitor from the Wucheng Military and Ma Si. What's wrong with this?"

"This is strange. Since Lord Tang was present, why didn't he persuade both sides to stop the fight immediately, but he would punish the brothers later? This makes people suspect that Tang Tongzhi, you did it on purpose. Could it be that Lord Tang, you want to use this incident to establish your status in the Jinyiwei and secretly ask someone to help perform this scene?" Although Tian Ergeng asked with a smile, there was a hint of cold light in his eyes.

Tang Feng didn't expect that even these things were found out by Tian Ergeng, and he was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered his calmness: "The Admiral's words are too heavy. As the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei, how could I not help my brothers and harm them? Yes, I saw all this at that time, but at that time I just wanted to make a small matter worse. Not only did I not think about my own mistakes, but I also wanted to distort the facts, which forced me to suppress them with my official power. I did this just to preserve my reputation as the Jinyiwei, not for myself!"

"Did Lord Tang see all this from beginning to end?" Tian Ergeng asked without being moved by Tang Feng's words.

Tang Feng had no choice but to shake his head and said, "No, when I heard the fight, they were all knocked down."

"Then how can you be sure that they were wrong first?" Tian Ergeng asked further.

Tang Feng immediately replied: "As we were in the elegant seat of the soldiers at that time, and after asking the witnesses in the building were completely opposite to Huang Baihu and others, I decided that they were wrong first, so they decided their fault. Moreover, these people didn't know who they were dependent on. Even I, a co-educator, dared to contradict me. I was just a small punishment for the big precepts."

"Mr. Tang, have you never suspected that this matter was done by someone secretly? Or for his own status, he didn't think about it at all? And for such a small matter, he had to convict several outstanding players such as Huang Baihu. Don't you think it's too much? In my opinion, you can't draw a conclusion on this matter before it is found out. And even if they really make mistakes, they can only be punished!" Tian Ergeng put forward his own opinion, then looked at the hundreds and thousands of people below and said, "I wonder what everyone thinks?"

"What the Admiral said is that this matter is indeed not a big deal, and it shouldn't be too harsh!" Someone immediately echoed loudly, it was Liao Kezhong and others. Tang Feng looked at the people expressionlessly, knowing that all this was planned by them. It seemed that the other party's counterattack was very fast. In order to deal with him, these original subordinates of Xu Xianchun had already started with Tian Ergeng. If this matter could not be done according to Tang Feng's intention, I am afraid that the position of Tongzhi he had just sat on would be unstable. Not only Xu Xianchun's old subordinates, but also the other forces would not take him seriously.

However, Tang Feng did not seem panic because of this, but took the tea bowl leisurely and took a sip of tea, then said: "It seems that Lord Tian is determined to speak for these people?"

"I just can't bear to see some people who have harmed the interests of my Jinyiwei brothers for their own selfish desires!" At this time, Tian Ergeng no longer had to pretend, and he directly spoke with Tang Feng.

Tang Feng sighed and said, "You are wrong, Admiral! It turns out that I don't want to tell the matter out. Now that I have reached this point, everyone is already very suspicious of me, so I can't hide some things anymore!"

"Hmm?" Tian Ergeng looked at Tang Feng in confusion, not knowing what he meant. Others also looked at Tang Feng, wanting to see what methods he had.

Tang Feng suddenly said loudly: "Pick up all the things!" With his order, a lieutenant walked up with several books, and another person following him was holding several lists. Tang Feng spread his hands and said: "Take these things with Admiral Tian and all the masters of Qianhu."

The account book and list were handed over to the hands of these Jinyiwei officials. They were confused at first, but after looking through some of them, everyone's expressions changed a little. Tang Feng said again: "It turns out that I don't want to make this ugly family public. I just want to use this incident to expose people to our Jinyiwei. But now that everyone distrusts me so much, I have to use this to prove my innocence!

"The things in your hands are the accounts of the various income and expenditure of our Jinyiwei over the past two years, as well as the details of the property of Huang Baihu and several others. Don't you find it strange? They are just hundreds of households who can only receive a military salary, but they own a property of no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, the property of our Jinyiwei has serious shortcomings. I think without me explaining it in detail, everyone should know the relationship, right?"

After hearing these words from Tang Feng, Huang Conghu and others looked even more ugly than before. They had no idea that Tang Feng would use this to deal with him. However, looking at the appearance of everyone, they obviously changed their impression of him and others. Because it was Xu Xianchun's confidant, they controlled the financial power of the Jinyiwei after Lord Xu took power, thus gaining a lot of benefits here. Now that the truth is revealed, they can't even explain it clearly, and in order to prevent them from denying, Tang Feng sent someone to check their property clearly, which made them even more unreasonable.

Seeing that those people were speechless, Tang Feng smiled again and said, "Now you know why I have to deal with them, right? Yes, this time the matter is not big, and it is not enough to let me attack them, but the benefits Huang Conghu and others have obtained from the Jinyiwei are enough to condemn them. Admiral Tian, ​​I wonder what else do you have to say for them now?"

"I..." Tian Ergeng's face was blue and white, and his heart was even more angry, but he couldn't say anything. He had to glar at Liao Kezhong and others with hatred. He knew that Huang Conghu and his butts were not clean, and these people didn't understand it. Now that Tang Feng caught the flaw, he was embarrassed.

Tang Feng continued: "It turns out that I planned to punish them a few more times before secretly sending someone to investigate the matter, but now it seems that I have to hand it over to the Admiral, you, to prevent someone from saying that I have ulterior motives! If the adults think this is not enough, I can also go to see Jiu Qiansui and ask him to allow me to resign from the position of the General Uniform Guard!"

"Mr. Tang, you are too harsh. I blame you for your mistake!" Seeing that Tang Feng said these words without hesitation, Tian Ergeng could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to get up and bow to him and said, "I will leave all this matter to Master Tang, and I will share all the consequences with you! I wonder if Lord Tang is satisfied with this?"

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you dare not accept this. I just want to help you clean up my Jinyiwei." Speaking of this, his smile subsided: "Come, take Huang Conghu and others into the imperial prison. I will ask them about corruption in detail. I have seen those accounts, and they cannot be concealed by just a few hundred households. There must be more things behind it!"

Although he said he didn't dare, Tang Feng didn't dare to give orders at all, which made Tian Ergeng feel even more detrimental to him. However, at this time, he could not say anything anymore, so he had to accept this failure with a wry smile.

In fact, Tang Feng himself did not expect that the backup plan he had originally decided would be of such great use. Now it seems that it is not a difficult thing to really attack these people. At the same time, Tang Feng also determined his new target of attack, that is, the Jinyiwei Admiral Tian Ergeng, who was still unwilling to give up...
