Chapter 340: Interrogation

Feng Zhong asked, "Who are you, and why don't you obey the edict?"

"Prick up your ears and listen, I am Marshal Yue's follower Wang Heng, I followed the marshal to fight in the south and the north, nine deaths, I don't know how many hard work I have made. Don't talk about other merits, just say that in Zhuxian Town, Jin Wushu is known as two million troops, and there are also a chain of vest formations, golden dragon twisted tail formations, and Tiefutuo, and Marshal Yue doesn't take them seriously at all. ”

"In the midst of strategizing, when killing the enemy, he led his brothers to fight bravely, broke the enemy's formation, and defeated the golden soldiers. Isn't this a credit that when you came with a few million troops, when you were defeated, there were only a few thousand men and horses? Now that the two countries have negotiated peace, and the world is peaceful, you are thinking about unloading the mill and killing the donkey. Is there any royal law here? Is there any heavenly law?" Wang Heng shouted angrily.

"Wang Heng, put away the stick, this is the will of the court, don't play tricks and trap me in disloyalty. That's it, that's it, since the emperor suspects that I, Yue Fei, is disloyal, then I have nothing to say. ”

Wang Heng knelt down and pleaded: "The old man is famous and brave, can you let these despicable little people come around? If they tie up the old man, then the old man will lose his freedom of movement, and he will have to be slaughtered by others." ”

Feng Zhong saw Wang Heng kneeling, the stick in his hand was on the ground, thinking that the opportunity had come, and then he raised his waist knife to cut Wang Heng. At this moment, Wang Heng lifted the stick and was about to stand up, Yue Fei shouted: "Wang Heng, don't do it." ”

When Wang Heng heard this, he had no choice but to kneel down again and put down the stick in his hand. Feng Zhong slashed down with a knife and slashed at Wang Heng's head, Wang Heng turned around, and all the captains came up together and hacked Wang Heng to death with a random knife. Poor Wang Hengrong had been on a horse for half his life, and the thieves and gold slaves couldn't kill him, but he was hacked to death by his own court captain, and he became a dead soul under the knife.

When Yue Fei saw Wang Heng's tragic death, he couldn't help crying, he hugged Wang Heng and burst into tears: "Good brother, I hurt you, I can't stand you." ”

Yue Fei looked at Feng Zhong with a torch in his eyes, and said, "You are too cruel, what kind of law did Wang Heng violate? You actually have a black hand behind your back? Are you still human?"

"Marshal Yue, I'm sorry, the lower officials are also forced by the situation, so they have to do it as a last resort. Before we left, the prime minister explained that if a person named Wang Heng dared to disobey the order and obstruct official business, he would be killed. Feng Zhong explained.

As soon as Wang Heng died, Zhang Jun and Wang Jun were taken aback, and they no longer ordered Yue Fei to be bound.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yue Fei knows that you are also acting on orders. It's just that this Wang Heng once contributed to the imperial court, and today he offended Guiqincha and died here, which is also his fate. I hope that Guiqin will send him a coffin to bury, so as not to expose the remains. Yue Fei said with a gloomy expression.

Feng Zhong agreed, so he sent someone to prepare a coffin for burial and find a place to bury. Yue Fei saw that Wang Heng had been buried, so he had to go on the road with Zhang Jun and others. The four generals saw Wang Heng's tragic death, Yue Fei was taken away by the imperial court, they rode Yue Fei's horse, picked up the cooked copper stick, brought the sword, and went back to Yuejiazhuang to report the news together.

Yue Fei followed Zhang Jun and others to Lin'an, Zhang Jun put Yue Fei into the prisoner car according to Qin Hui's instructions, and secretly passed Qin Hui's documents to the city gate guards. Yue Fei got into the prison car, which was covered with a black gauze cloth and secretly sent to Dali Temple Prison for imprisonment.

The next day, Qin Hui passed on a false decree and ordered the Zhengqing of Dali Temple to be in charge of hearing Yue Fei's case. Wednesday Wei accepted the holy decree and offered it to the public court, and then ordered the official to go to the prison to bring Yue Fei for interrogation.

Yue Fei came to the hall and saw that the central government was offering a holy decree, so he quickly knelt down and said: "Weichen Yue Fei will see you, may my emperor live long live long live." ”

After kneeling and bowing, Yue Fei and Wednesday bowed: "Lord Zhou, the offender doesn't know what crime he has committed, please make it clear." ”

Wednesday was afraid of the order and asked for the holy decree, and then sat down in the middle and asked: "Yue Fei, you are an official and a lord, and you don't want to send troops to sweep the north to repay the country's kindness, but instead sit and watch the success or failure, and reduce the military rations, what is your justification?"

Yue Fei said: "Lord Zhou's words are wrong, if you say that the soldiers will not move, the criminal officials will defeat more than one million Jin soldiers, and they are preparing to wave their troops to the north, go straight to the Huanglong Mansion, and welcome back the two saints." Who knew that I suddenly received a holy decree to lead the troops back to Zhuxian Town, and the current marshals Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi and others can testify. ”

Wednesday listened and said: "This is not moving, you have said it, there is a matter of reducing military rations, what else is there to say?"

Yue Fei said: "Yue Fei cherished the sergeants all his life like father and son, so everyone used their lives. Whose grain I have taken and whose grass I have lost, someone will have to testify. ”

"Now your officer, Wang Jun, is hereby saying that you have deducted his rations. ”

Yue Fei was furious when he heard this: "There are a total of thirteen large battalions in Zhuxian Town, with more than 300,000 men and horses, why did he reduce the grain under Wang Jun's name? This Wang Jun instigated his subordinates to withhold the sergeant's rations, and I fired him back, but I didn't expect him to bite back, which shows his sinister intentions, and I hope that Lord Zhou will take a closer look." ”

Wednesday was afraid to hear this, and thought to himself: "This incident is obviously designed by the traitor Qin Hui to frame him, and now that I am the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, how can I abuse lynching and torture into a trick? Yue Fei is the person I know best, how can he be such a person?"

"Since Marshal Yue is innocent, he is waiting in prison for the time being, waiting for the next official to play the holy and wait for the decree to be decided. Yue Fei thanked Wednesday Wei and went to the prison with the jailer.

The next day, Zhang Jun, Wang Jun and others came to inquire about the interrogation, and on Wednesday Wei told the truth about the results of the interrogation. Zhang Jun listened and said: "Lord Zhou, have you inquired about Yue Fei's instigation of the Huaixi mutiny? The reason why Li Qiong surrendered to the Jin State was because Yue Fei secretly instigated, and that night Li Qiong and his subordinates discussed together, and I heard it clearly. ”

"I think Lord Zhou is the head of Dali Temple, so he can't shield the Qin criminals? Yue Fei is a military general, and he doesn't have to be tortured, so it is difficult to pry his mouth open. My lord, the prime minister will also come to Dali Temple today to observe, and please don't hinder your old friendship with Yue Fei, and you can't bear to do it. ”

Wednesday was afraid to hear this, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had no choice but to re-ascend to the hall and order the official to bring Yue Fei to the hall. When Yue Fei came to the lobby, he saw Zhang Jun and Wang Jun sitting on the side, and knew that it was the supervision official sent by Qin Hui.

"Yue Fei has seen Lord Zhou, I don't know what Lord Zhou wants to ask today?" Yue Fei asked straight to the point.

"Marshal Yue, Zhang Jun said that you were the mastermind of the Huaixi mutiny, and he heard Li Qiong and his subordinates mention your name with his own ears. What the hell is going on? Tell me?" asked Wednesday.

"Yue Fei and Li Qiong and Wang Desu have never met, how could they have planned the Huaixi mutiny? Zhang Jun heard Li Qiong mention my name and said that I was the mastermind, may I ask Master Zhang, have you ever mentioned Yue Fei's name? Did the prime minister mention Yue Fei's name? Did the emperor mention Yue Fei's name? If you are so far-fetched, then everyone is suspicious. Besides, since I, Yue Fei, wanted to plan the Huaixi mutiny, why didn't I rebel with Li Qiong? Why did I send my son Yue Yun all the way to escort him?"

Zhang Jun was speechless when he heard this.

"Since there is no real evidence, it is not good for this official to convict hastily, so it is better to postpone it for the time being, and it is not too late to convict after a thorough investigation. That's all for today's ascension, quit!" said Wednesday and stood up and was about to leave.

In short, Yue Fei's instigation of the Huaixi mutiny is an established fact, and it is useless to quibble, I think Yue Fei will not confess without being punished. Someone is coming! Punish Yue Fei and see if he still has a hard mouth?" Zhang Jun shouted.

Wednesday was very angry when he saw Zhang Jun taking the lead, he stood up and said: "Lord Zhang, you come here to sit, this Dali Temple Zhengqing is still up to you." ”

Zhang Jun blushed with shame when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, don't be angry, I just want to convict Yue Fei's case as soon as possible, so that I can go and report to the emperor." ”

"In my opinion, Yue Shaobao is a minister of the court that the emperor relies on, and it is not too late to find out the truth before convicting. ”

Zhang Jun and Wang Jun listened to it, and they couldn't say anything more, so they had to admit it. Yue Fei was taken to prison again, and on Wednesday he ordered the officials to serve Yue Fei kindly, and not to secretly do it. Wednesday Wei returned home, feeling depressed, he remembered everything Yue Fei had done for the imperial court, and remembered that he had been framed by Qin Hui and his gang to such a point,

couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Be favored and humiliated, be prepared for danger in times of peace, Marshal Yue has achieved such a great official, and has such great merits, but today he was framed by traitorous ministers." I am just a Zhengqing of Dali Temple, in the hands of traitorous ministers, if Yue Fei is beaten into a trick, where is his conscience? If I do not obey the Qin thief's scheme, I will suffer from it, and it is really a dilemma. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to abandon this official position, hide your name, and end up at ease?"

Wednesday made up his mind, secretly instructed his family, packed his bags, and rented a carriage. He untied his belt, took off his robe, and placed the seal letter on the desk like Jane. When he waited for the fifth watch, he took his family and a few confidants, escaped from Yongjinmen without permission, and fled for his life.

The next day, Zhang Jun and others came to Dali Temple again to urge Wednesday to ascend to the hall, who knew that Wednesday did not come to the yamen. The officials went to Wednesday's house to take a look, and when they walked into the study, they saw Wednesday wearing a crown and taking off their robes, and there was a letter on the table. The officials panicked and hurriedly reported to Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun saw that he was afraid of abandoning the official on Wednesday, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he hurriedly took the officials to the prime minister's mansion to report to him. Qin Hui was furious when he heard this, and wanted to punish the officials, but everyone begged again and again before they spared them.

"Wednesday fear disappeared under your noses, you take this responsibility, and I order you to do all your best to arrest Wednesday fear, and be sure to bring him to account. Qin Hui said.

The officials resigned and were ordered to arrest Wednesday and go. Qin Hui also sent a sea fishing document to all prefectures and counties, ordering local officials to assist in the arrest of Zhou Wei.

Qin Hui saw that Wednesday was afraid of refusing to attach to him, hanging up the crown and running away, thinking to himself: "Wednesday is afraid of refusing to attach to me, this bad thing is inevitably not a good thing, why don't I take this opportunity to transfer Wan Qiaowei and Luo Ruji to Lin'an for use?"

Thinking of this, Qin Hui immediately instructed the general to quietly go to Yangzhou to invite Wan Qiaoqian and Luo Ruji to come and appoint them.
