Chapter 369: Inferior Hu enters Chang'an
Qin Jin didn't raise his head, but only said lightly:
"Push it out!"
Seeing that Qin Jin was not soft on his begging for mercy, Ashina's frightened face turned green, even if he went to die to cook it, it was a painful way to die, not to mention that he didn't want to die at all.
"Let the king spare his life, the humble don't want to die, the humble don't want to die......"
Chen Qianli looked at Ashina Congli with disdain, and wanted to say a few words to laugh at the thief happily, but in the end he didn't make a sound, only waved his hand lightly, and immediately two burly armor soldiers pounced, pressed Ashina Congli down, and dragged him out of the hall with his feet.
Suddenly, Ashina's heart was like ashes, and he only felt a sudden burst of dampness and heat in his crotch......
There was a burst of laughter in the main hall of the county court, obviously this ugly scene fell in the eyes of everyone, Ashina was frightened and ashamed, thinking that he had just been played with and applauded like a monkey, he felt bitter and regretful. I knew that Qin Jin was so difficult to mess with, so why did he do such a self-digging move?
However, after being dragged out of the main hall of the county court, Ashina Congli was not thrown into the oil pot, but his hands and feet were smashed into dozens of pounds of iron shackles, and then he was thrown into the wooden cage prisoner car.
It wasn't until the wooden cage prisoner car was locked that Ashina woke up from Li, his life was saved, and Qin Jin had no intention of killing him at all.
"The envoy did this, it was really cheap for that despicable villain, since he had the evidence of this thief's collaboration with the enemy, he would kill this little guard with a knife, and the court would not have any objections. ”
In the main hall of the county court, Huangfu Ke felt that Qin Jin's handling of Ashina Congli was too soft, so it was better to kill it with a knife, or simply cook it in an oil pot and kill it simply.
Chen Qianli sat down again, and replied on behalf of Qin Jin: "It is really the safest choice for you to arrange it like this. During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong Wen drove the expedition in person, leaving Fang Xuanling to sit in Chang'an, someone took the opportunity to falsely accuse Fang Xuanling of rebellion to Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong immediately tied up this person and handed it over to Fang Xuanling for disposal, the old general can know how Fang Xuanling dealt with it?
Hearing Chen Qianli ask rhetorically, Huangfu Ke was a little embarrassed, he naturally knew this allusion between the monarchs and ministers, but it was only appropriate to use it on Qin Jin?
It's just that it's okay to think about it in the stomach, but it's very inappropriate to say it in public.
Qin Jin arranged it like this, naturally he had his reasons, and Li Longji's specific thoughts were still a little incomprehensible, but sending Ashina back from Congli's complaint and defense was indeed a kind of goodwill. This is definitely a good phenomenon for Qin Jin, and at this time, he must cooperate with Li Longji no matter what to perform this drama well.
Therefore, Qin Jin spared Ashina's life, and together with the certified physical evidence of this person's collaboration with the enemy, he was escorted to Chang'an and handed over to the Son of Heaven to show his innocence.
In fact, once the evidence of collaboration with the enemy is confirmed, even if he is beheaded in public, there is nothing wrong with reporting to the court afterwards. Qin Jin's move was to further test the idea of the Son of Heaven, whether it was as he speculated.
Ashina's prisoner car arrived in Chang'an three days later, and along the way he had been tortured to the point of being inhuman. It was not that the escorted soldiers were abused, but that his hands and feet were smashed with a total of more than 50 pounds of shackles, and the wooden cage iron lock was also stoned to death, so he could only urinate in the prisoner car, so the short three days were like three years, and he was tortured to death.
Especially after entering Chang'an City, the street was full of traffic, pedestrians rubbed shoulders one after another, and suddenly saw such a rare thing, and they all gathered around to see the excitement. Soon, however, the people who were close were retched by the stench emanating from the prison van.
"That strong man, who is escorted in the prisoner car?"
Some of the people were curious and asked.
"We are under the command of the Qin envoy of Feng Yi County, who killed Hu Gou in Hedong City, and in the prisoner car is the traitorous general Ashina Congli!"
The leader in charge of the escort is obviously a clear-minded person, and he clearly explains the cause and effect in one sentence. When the people were neutral, they let out bursts of admiration, and suddenly threw stones at Ashina Congli in the prisoner cart, and those who were close to the prisoner cart spat heavily.
"Kill the dog, kill the dog!"
The people of Chang'an are naturally Han Chinese, although they have no intuitive understanding of An Lushan's rebellion outside Tongguan, but the price of rice in the city has risen frequently, and the people are saying that it is caused by An Lushan's rebellion blocking the grain road leading to the Jiangnan Canal. Therefore, it was difficult for them to eat food, and the children of the clan were also conscripted into the army and sent to Tongguan, and the most directly responsible persons were, of course, those rebellious dogs.
Ashina Congli is a bearded person as soon as he hears the name, presumably he and An Lushan's miscellaneous beard must also be a nostril puffer, and it must be right to stoning this bearded dog to death.
The people have always been not afraid of big things when they see the excitement, and after someone took the lead in throwing stones, more and more people gathered together, clamoring to stone Ashina Congli. In the blink of an eye, Ashina Congli's head had been smashed out of several large bags of stones, red and swollen, and faintly oozing blood.
"This is a criminal of the imperial court, don't be excited, the court has its own laws to deal with it!"
The leader in charge of the escort repeatedly shouted to stop him, but his voice was like a flat boat in front of a large number of people. Less than ten soldiers were in charge of escorting him with him, and they were powerless to stop the spontaneous behavior of the people, so they had to protect in front of the prisoner cart......
Just as the people on the street were gathering more and more, a rather luxurious four-horse chariot slowly drove from west to east, with twenty knights acting as escorts in the front and rear of the chariot, and the officials in the chariot watched the chaos outside through the curtain, and then frowned and stopped the driver.
"Go and see, what's going on!"
After receiving the order, the leader of the knight's guard led the men to sound the gong.
"Jing Zhaoyin is here, and the people avoid it!"
The people of Chang'an were not afraid of foreign soldiers, but they were extremely sensitive to the sound of gongs on the clean street, and when they heard that it was Jing Zhaoyin who was coming, they were afraid that their families would be caught in trouble, so they scattered in a hurry.
The chaos lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it gradually stabilized, and after all the people who were in the excitement were driven away, Jingzhao Yin Weiji steadily got out of the car and came to the front of the prisoner car.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The leader of the knights shouted angrily: "This is Wei Dayin of Jingzhao Mansion, don't bow down yet!"
The ten soldiers who were in charge of escorting the prisoner car bowed down in unison, and the leader of the armor replied loudly: "The inferior is the armor of the Shenwu Army, who repelled the rebel Hu under the city of Hedong, and escorted the rebel general Ashina to Beijing from Li to ......."
Wei Ji's frowning brows relaxed, he heard that these armor soldiers were from the Shenwu Army, so he didn't plan to embarrass them anymore, after all, Qin Jin gave him strong support to Ren Jing Zhaoyin, especially the dredging of Zheng Baiqu's project was quite effective, which made him stand out among the hundred officials and won the favor of the Son of Heaven. Just now, he met the Son of Heaven, came out of the Xingqing Palace, and planned to inspect the city, and then return to the Jingzhao Mansion to work, not wanting to meet the person in charge of escorting the Shenwu Army.
He glanced at the prisoner car, but saw that one person in the prisoner car was filthy and not human, which should have alarmed the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven had previously made it clear that Qin Jin was very loyal and brave in the battle of Hedong City, and Ashina was jealous and jealous, and should be severely punished to set an example. In order to show his trust in Qin Jin, the Son of Heaven even sent Ashina's complaint and defense letter to Feng Yi in a hurry, so as to show the world that as long as he can win the battle at this time, he will stand up to the end.
In the past, if someone sued the general in charge of the army, whether it was falsely accused or not, as long as the matter was presented to the emperor through the hand of the prime minister, it had already been assumed that the defendant's military general was guilty, and then sent eunuchs to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Okay, report to Yousi quickly, don't show off in Chang'an City, if you are caught by the forbidden army like just now, you will inevitably be punished for disrupting the security of the capital. ”
Wei Ji's sentence was a kind reminder, which made several armor soldiers stunned, and they didn't expect that the officials in Chang'an City could actually be kind to them, so after thanking them repeatedly, they hurriedly left with Ashina's prisoner car.
……
In Xingqing Palace, Li Longji was leaning on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly a eunuch whispered:
"Sage, Ashina has been escorted to Beijing from Li, this is Qin Jin's letter. ”
Li Longji didn't look at it, waved his hand, and motioned to the eunuch to put Qin Jin's letter on the imperial case and then retreat. He didn't need to read the content of the book presented by Qin Jin at all, as long as Qin Jin dared to escort Ashina Congli to Chang'an, it was enough to prove that the kindness he released had received a positive response.
Thinking that his methods had an effect, Li Longji took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
It doesn't matter how Ashina Congli handles it, this person is just a pawn in his game with Qin Jin, since Qin Jin knows about advancing and retreating, he will be a little more stable. Somehow, Li Longji had an unprecedented feeling in his heart.
This feeling even made him unspeakable, because he, the son of the Holy Heaven who had been in the world for more than 40 years, had a faint fear of his courtiers for the first time. An intuition always lingered around Li Longji's body, Qin Jin seemed to be a person blessed by God, and no matter who went against him, it would not end well
However, Li Longji can only swallow this kind of thing in his stomach alone, he can't even confide half a word with his closest concubine and Gao Lishi, the emperor's majesty and self-esteem make him unable to admit it no matter what, he is afraid!
