Chapter 418: Guilt

As soon as Uncle Feng's words fell, Xu Kaizhi saw a person walking over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The man's voice was very clear, "What is Lord Du going out of the city so late for?"

Xu Kaizhi's eyes widened, and the person got closer and closer, and his appearance gradually became clearer.

Torches were lit around him, illuminating the sky around him, his eyes were deep, and there was a smile on his face, he was not wearing an official uniform, not even a luxurious robe, but he had an innate grace and majesty.

Xu Kaizhi's heart jumped with joy, this majestic appearance made him feel a sense of reverence, if one day he could come over like this and let everyone be impressed, how good it would be.

Seeing that the people who came to answer were pressed there by the officers and soldiers, Du Qizhong's face was like ashes, and he turned his face sideways to look at Pei Qitang.

He didn't expect Pei Qitang to move so fast, and he caught them right here, he thought that even if the errand out of the city was done, even if Pei Qitang held on to it, King Zhuang pushed him out to be a scapegoat, and his family would be properly taken care of.

Du Qizhong gritted his teeth: "Pei Qitang, since you have been caught, I have nothing to say." ”

Pei Qitang looked at Du Qizhong lightly: "Do you think that if you don't say anything, King Zhuang will take care of your family?"

Du Qizhong's eyelids jumped heavily.

"If he would take care of your family, he wouldn't have been charged with such a crime, you know what it is?"

"Even if your family is properly taken care of," Pei Qitang pointed to the people around Du Qizhong, "what about the families of these people?"

As soon as Pei Qitang's voice fell, those who escorted the goods had already gritted their teeth: "Master Du, let's fight, if we fight, there may be a glimmer of life, if you don't fight, you can only wait for death......"

Du Qizhong doesn't know what to do, now he is openly an enemy of Pei Qitang, even if he runs away, his family will be implicated, and the Du family will be finished all of a sudden, not only will he be confined, but his wife and daughter will probably have to be official slaves.

Therefore, he can't run, the whole world is not the king's land, where can he run.

"There is another way," Pei Qitang said, "Lord Du is here to cut himself, but before that, you have to make it clear to your brothers who they are now and why they are running around." ”

Du Qizhong clenched the sword in his hand.

"Their names have always been on the military register, and as long as the matter of empty salaries is revealed, King Zhuang will blame them for the crime, saying that they are deserters who are greedy for life and afraid of death. King Zhuang and those dignitaries took their salaries and enjoyed the glory, but they still wanted them to continue to serve them. ”

"According to the law of this dynasty, they don't have to wait for autumn to be executed, and it doesn't matter if people die, their families will never get rid of the reputation of deserters. ”

After Pei Qitang finished speaking, Du Qizhong felt a pair of eyes full of surprise look over.

"Master Du, isn't it true that he said it? We have already taken off the army, and our children and grandchildren no longer have to tattoo words on their faces, and they have been soldiers for generations, so how can we be deserters?"

Du Qizhong didn't dare to raise his head to look at the people around him, and his hand holding the sword trembled.

Pei Qitang sneered: "Master Du, since you already have the heart of death, why are you unwilling to tell these poor people the truth until now?"

Hearing this, Du Qizhong couldn't help but cringe and took two steps back.

"You still dare not say it, because you owe them so much, and you have no face to tell them the truth, and it is more painful than death to not be able to repay the debt owed to others. ”

The people around looked at the expression on Du Qizhong's face.

"What the hell is going on, Lord Du?"

"Tell us the truth. ”

"He lied to us when he said this......"

Everyone surrounded Du Qizhong in the center.

One of them looked excited: "Lord Du, you should say something, didn't you say that Lord Zhuang has promised to let us get out of the country?"

Du Qizhong was almost out of breath, and Zhang Lian looked at him indignantly, as long as he told the truth, he would immediately tear him to pieces.

Pei Qitang said lightly: "There is no need to ask Lord Du again, he won't say it, because what he promised you, he can't do it at all, if you all get rid of the army, where will King Zhuang go to eat empty salary, and how will Lord Du be promoted and make a fortune." ”

Du Qizhong's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

This biggest secret has been found out by Pei Qitang.

Next, Pei Qitang will definitely not let go of King Zhuang, although he is a dead man now, but King Zhuang is not difficult to protect himself.

Everyone's eyes were red, like ghosts who wanted to ask for his life.

"It's true," Du Qizhong finally couldn't help but say, "What Master Pei said is true, you are not out of the country, you are still a military household, and you still have a salary, but you did not distribute it to your family, but gave it to Prince Zhuang." ”

These are all true.

Maybe these people will die because of tonight's events, but these people don't deserve to die in a muddle.

People are dying and their words are kind, Du Qizhong suddenly smiled, this is his last kindness.

As soon as Du Qizhong thought of this, his stomach suddenly hurt, and the people around him had already kicked him, and he felt the pain like a river and a sea, as if his internal organs were about to be shattered.

Before he could compose himself, his fists and kicks rained down on him. Du Qizhong immediately tasted the taste of blood, hot blood spurted out of his nose and mouth, tonight is his death, he is finally going to die here, how many days and nights of fear before, how many times of guilt and remorse, this time finally has a result.

"If you kill him, there will be no one to testify for you, you still have a chance to fight for yourself, as long as you can help the court catch the person who helped King Zhuang buy and sell private goods, I will play the court, and I will not punish you lightly, at least not as a deserter." ”

There is no other choice.

"First thing," Pei Qitang looked at Du Qizhong on the ground, "Lord Du is going to go home as usual, just as if nothing happened." ”

"In this way, he will be able to buy you time and cooperate with the court to arrest the rest of the people. ”

Du Qizhong heard a "bah" and a mouthful of spit fell on his face, but then he was lifted up.

Everyone said: "The surname Du, you brought us to this road, and now you should also give us an explanation." ”

Du Qizhong opened his eyes.

Pei Qitang said: "Lord Du, this is your last chance." ”

……

Xu Kaizhi stretched his head forward, he wanted to see Du Qizhong's expression clearly, but he was dragged over.

Uncle Feng smiled and said, "I'll take it when I see it, it's not too early, I should send you back." ”

Xu Kaizhi wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly frowned, and his whole person bent into a shrimp, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
