Chapter 1438: Rebellious ministers and thieves
The next day, the captured Guo surnamed was sent to Mulu City, not Guo Ziyi himself, but also related to Guo Ziyi, his half-brother Guo Youming.
This is an explosive discovery, and it has been rumored in Anxi and other places that Guo Ziyi took refuge in the deposed prince and assisted him in raising troops to make a rebellion, but unfortunately there has been no tangible evidence to support it.
Now that Guo Ziyi's younger brother has been caught, it indirectly proves the existence of Guo Ziyi and the abolished prince.
It is enough to see from this that the rebellion of Shiguo is by no means in the name of someone pretending to depose the crown prince, and seven or eight times out of ten it is done by the deposed prince with the help of the people of Shiguo.
Guo Youming's injury was not very serious, but he kept his eyes closed, did not speak to anyone who asked, and his attitude was extremely uncooperative.
When Qin Jin saw this person, he was still lying on a simple stretcher, pretending to be seriously injured.
"Guo Jiabalang, your Guo family has been loyal and good for generations, but now they are all blinded by lard?
Guo Jiabalang's four words obviously touched Guo Youming, only to see his eyelids move obviously, and his body involuntarily trembled.
"Now, the black-clothed food has been defeated by the Shenwu army, and the enemy country will also fall into chaos, at this time is a great opportunity for the imperial court to take advantage of the void, and when you suddenly jump out, aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner of the imperial court, and leaving a reputation for eternity?"
Qin Jin's continuous accusations obviously made Guo Youming very angry, and he couldn't help opening his eyes after all, when he saw Qin Jin's aggressive gaze, he subconsciously avoided it, and only argued in his mouth:
"If the rebellious ministers and thieves are not removed, where is the imperial court?"
Qin Jin sneered.
"The imperial court is the court of the people of the whole world, and for the sake of the selfish interests of one person, regardless of the interests of the people of the world, do you still have the face to pretend to be righteous and strict here?"
In this regard, Guo Youming was speechless, just sneering and silent.
Qin Jin didn't say much, and ordered someone to carry him to the market where the disaster was affected the day before.
Bypassing the corner where the armory was located, the originally prosperous reception suddenly changed color, and it was full of charred ruins, and the smell of burnt paste after the fire filled the snort.
Groups of security forces were clearing the rubble, and many of the affected people were crying over the rubble, grieving for their families who died in the fire.
Qin Jin grabbed Guo Youming's neck and asked him to open his eyes and take a look.
"Is this the justice you call in your mouth? Is your justice to make innocent people's homes ruined? Do you let all the people in the city die miserably for the selfish interests of one person? If it weren't for the vigilance of the Shenwu Army, what you see today would be the ruins of the entire Mulu City! Just ask, such a frenzied act, even the devil from hell is nothing more than that!"
Qin Jin's voice was not loud, but this questioning hit Guo Youming's chest like a drumstick.
He couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the street market twice, the once street market was now only charred and blackened, and the prosperity of the original was long gone, and the voice of the woman crying in the street pierced his heart like a knife.
Guo Youming didn't know the existence of people like Li Zhong, of course, he was finally that person, and he firmly believed that the rebellious ministers and thieves must be killed. It is difficult for him to accept that he can use this method of mutilating innocent people to fight against rebellious officials and thieves.
Yes, under Qin Jin's deep questioning, Guo Youming's face was full of heat, and he subconsciously lowered his head again.
"Have you bowed your head? Do you also think that person has gone too far? The dispute between political enemies is understandable, but is it a little too shameless to drag innocent people into this pool of troubled waters?"
"You, you're shameless!"
This retort was extremely pale, and Qin Jin laughed.
"Open your eyes and see, your so-called shameless person is wiping the ass of the person who is protecting you to the death! Treat human life as grass mustard, or even grass mustard, such a person, even if I Qin Jin fight for my life, I will not let him have a day to rule the world!"
"You...... The rebels and thieves are still showing their true colors!"
Maybe Guo Youming has been so angry that he has lost his reason and the most basic logic, and he actually said a headless sentence for no reason.
One of the soldiers who was carrying him next to him was amused.
"I said that you are a fool, our prime minister saved the dead and helped the wounded, but he showed the face of a chaotic minister and thief, but you should tell me, what is a loyal minister and a filial son? Like you, or like Li Zhong who planned the arson case? I also advise you, say something that is not acceptable, since you are a prisoner, you must think about how to forgive your sins with peace of mind, lest even the family become sinners of the court!"
The imperial court has never been soft on the families of the rebels, as strong as the family that founded the country and thought about Fang Xuanling, but also after his death, he was involved in the rebellion case and was punished.
Although the Guo family is not an ordinary people's family, it is nothing at all in a place like Chang'an, where there are many powerful people.
Although there were rumors of Guo Ziyi's rebellion before, there has been no evidence, and the imperial court will naturally not attack the children of his clansmen who stayed in Chang'an, but now it is different, Guo Youming was arrested as Guo Ziyi's half-brother, and his attitude is so stubborn, it will inevitably affect the fate of the Guo family.
At this time, Guo Youming couldn't help but tremble, and only then did he think of his family in Chang'an.
Back then, he followed his brother all the way with a heart of loyalty, and defected to that person despite the difficulties and dangers.
Who would have thought that in the end, everything he longed for would become a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror.
Defeated in a battle with the Shenwu Army, I am shamefully taken prisoner, there is nothing more unacceptable than this.
used to be hot-blooded, and I didn't care about Chang'an's family for a while, but now I woke up and suddenly felt very sad, because I had caused them a burden.
Guo Youming thought of dying again, but the soldier's sarcastic voice sounded again.
"You stupid melon, don't complain that you speak ugly, at this point, it is difficult to survive, and it is difficult to die! Alive, you can't escape the court's judgment on you, if you die, you have to bear the infamy and affect the family, and the most pitiful thing is that you don't even have a chance to defend yourself......
The soldier chattered and said, Guo Youming's heart was like numbness, and the spirit that originally regarded death as if it was like a pig's urine bubble was punctured, and he was deflated, and he no longer had that righteous and awe-inspiring spirit.
He looked at Qin Jin, who had already walked away, and wanted to say something, but the words choked on his lips again, and some words were really unspeakable.
"Silly melon, listen to my advice, don't go against the prime minister, our prime minister is a benevolent and soft-hearted person, if you open your mouth and beg for mercy, maybe you can still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions! To put it mildly, not only the court, but even the people all over the world do not think that it is the destiny of heaven, if a road goes to the dark, there will be no chance to turn over......
