Chapter 1088: East Becomes West (81)

Zhao Yong, whose face was ashen, was coerced in by two powerful soldiers, and threw them to the ground with a force, and fell to the ground with a bang.

He Lanxiong looked at Zhao Yong with disgust, but he thought in his heart that they were all heroes and heroes, but this Zhao Yong was really ashamed of Zilan's son, I heard that Zilan's eldest son was very wise, and he was jealous of King Zhao, so he was forcibly summoned into Handan as a hostage, and finally died in a conspiracy. The one left behind can't support Zilan's lintel.

There was silence in the lobby, although everyone hated Zhao Yong to death, but the identity of the person in front of him was extraordinary, even if there was all kinds of anger in his heart, he didn't know how to attack it.

The deathly silence made Zhao Yong even more panicked, he raised his head, but what caught his eyes was He Xingxiong's face. He Lanxiong has been stationed in Daijun for a long time, and he has also discussed Daijun affairs with Helanxiong many times, and he has been drinking and feasting, pushing cups and changing lamps, and all he sees is a smiling face, but today, the other party's iron face, slightly twitching muscles, and angry eyes all make him understand that the person in front of him is no longer the person who was respectful to him in the past.

"Zhao Junshou, what a blessing!" He Lanxiong finally spoke, and the murderous aura mixed in his voice could not be completely concealed even if he tried his best to hide it.

"Commander Helan!" Zhao Yong raised his head, "I was forced, I was forced!"

Helan Xiongha laughed: "What a forced one!" Let me ask you, even though the Qin army came unexpectedly from Shanggu, there were still 30,000 generals in Xiling City at that time, with sufficient armament and abundant food, who forced Zhao Jun to defend Kaicheng and surrender?"

Zhao Yong grunted a few times in his throat, but he didn't make a sound.

"The Qin army occupied Daijun, who handed over the list of thousands of officials sent to Daijun by my Han Kingdom to the Qin people, and let them be brutally murdered? More than a thousand people, only a dozen survived in the end, Zhao Junshou, dreamed back late at night, have you ever had a cold sweat, have you ever had a time when you have an unjust soul asking for your life?"

The fierce He Lanxiong's questioning sentence after sentence made Zhao Yong sweat profusely, and looked around at the generals in the hall, and the angry faces made him feel great fear.

"It's really a tiger father and a dog, this time, no one can save you."

Hearing He Lanxiong's words, Zhao Yong immediately burst into tears.

"I don't want to die, spare my life, commander, spare my life, no, no, no, I want to see King Han, I want to meet King Han, I have confidential matters to report!" Zhao Yong exclaimed.

Helan Xiong glanced at Zhao Yong with disdain, "Don't worry, Zhao Junshou, I won't kill you here, even if you are no longer a thing, you are also the son of Xianggong Zilan, don't you want to see the king?" No problem, this commander will send you back to Jicheng to see the king, but as far as I know, even if you meet the king, you can't escape the fate of the court, hehehe!"

Hearing that it would not be cut in two here, Zhao Yong's eyes showed a look of hope again, and he even kowtowed to He Lanxiong and said, "Thank you Commander for not killing."

He Lanxiong glanced at the slug-like Zhao Yong in disgust, and waved his hand, "Someone, escort him down, wait a few days with the people who have returned to Jicheng, escort him back to Jicheng, and hand it over to the king to deal with."

Ten days later, a prisoner car drove out of the county guard's mansion, in the thick railing of the bowl, Zhao Yong was wearing heavy shackles, sitting cross-legged in the prisoner car, a moment later, several war horses drove from another direction, the leader was Qin Lei, who was holding on to Hecheng.

"Young boy!" Seeing Zhao Tong in the prisoner car, Qin Lei turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the prisoner car, knelt on one knee amid the mournful scream, held the railing of the prisoner car with both hands, and wept.

"General Qin, help, help!" Seeing Qin Lei, Zhao Yong seemed to see a savior, and pounced on Qin Lei's side, holding Qin Lei's hands with both hands, and bringing up the shackles for a while.

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" Qin Lei's wrinkled face was full of tears, "The last general can't stand Zilan Xianggong!"

"The general save me, the general save me!" Zhao Yong shouted one after another.

Qin Lei stood up, turned around and walked to Helan Xiong's side, and knelt down with a bang.

He Lanxiong hurriedly stepped forward, and tried to help Qin Lei up with both hands, "Old general, you are my great hero, how can Helan You be such a great gift?"

Qin Lei was angry, and under the support of Helan Xiong, although his body shook slightly, he still knelt firmly on the ground, "Commander, the last general also knows that the young prince made a big mistake this time, and he deserved to be escorted to Jicheng to ask for guilt, Qin Lei did not dare to ask for forgiveness, but asked the commander to leave a few decent copies for Xianggong Zilan, went to the shackles of the young prince, released him from the cage, and Qin Lei accompanied him to Jicheng for trial, along the way, a qiē was guaranteed by Qin Lei."

He Lanxiong's face showed embarrassment, "General Qin, you also know that my Han has strict laws and regulations, and a serious offender like Zhao Yong must be strictly guarded."

"Commander, please look at the face of the deceased Zilan Xianggong!" Qin Lei pleaded again.

He Lanxiong blinked his eyes, Zilan Xianggong's face didn't care much, but Qin Lei's face still had to be given.

"That's it, General Qin, he has to do it in a cage, this is not only a punishment, but also a warning, a warning to those who are half-hearted, no matter what his identity is, the betrayer will be punished, what I can do is to go to the shackles for him, this is also for the sake of General Qin Lei's face, General Qin, please don't say it again, this is already my bottom line, and you also know that the lives of thousands of Han officials in Dai County will be buried in the hands of this person."

Qin Lei was silent, stood up and stepped aside.

He Lanxiong waved his hand, and an official of the Supervision Yuan had already gone up to open the cage and shackled Zhao Yong, and as the cage door slammed shut, He Lanxiong said to Qin Lei: "General Qin, have a good journey, this time the King of Han praised you a lot, and it must be promoted, Helan can't pay tribute to General Qin with a glass of wine in Jicheng, so he congratulated him here in advance."

"Thank you Commander Ji Yan, Qin Lei doesn't want any reward, but I hope that I can exchange a little credit for the young son's life!" Qin Lei's face was bitter.

He Lanxiong smiled noncommittally, "After arriving in Jicheng, I will have my own king in charge, General Qin, I am busy with military affairs, so I will not be far away."

"I'll send General Qin Lei!" Beside Helanxiong, Lu Ting, who was still skinny, came out of the crowd, this was originally also in the ranks of the people who should be recalled to Jicheng, but like Ou Zhe, who was scarred and still let people carry him to the court to deal with official business, Lu Ting saw this appearance when he arrived in Xiling City, when he decided not to go to Jicheng for the time being but stayed to assist Ou Zhe in handling Daijun's official business, Lu Ting had been in Daijun for many years, and he was quite familiar with Daijun affairs, and he was indeed outstanding, Helanxiong agreed to his request to stay, specially sent an official letter to Gao Yuan for him.

"There you go!" He Lanxiong nodded: "There are some things, you should give General Qin a little letter first, so as not to disappoint him at that time."

"Subordinates can save it!" Lu Ting nodded.

A group of carriages and horses walked slowly on the street, on both sides were countless people of Xiling City, they silently looked at Zhao Yong in the prison building, and their hearts were also mixed, more and more people gathered on the street, but they did not make a sound, everyone looked at Zhao Yong's expression, pity, anger, contempt, and life, showing all kinds of things.

mourned his misfortune, was angry with him, and was even more resentful that he had lost the face of Zilan Xianggong, so that Zilan Xianggong Jiuquan would not be at peace.

"General Qin, go back this time, how are you going to save this Zhao Yong's life?" Lu Ting, who was walking side by side with Qin Lei, asked in a low voice.

"I only hope that the king can look at Qin Lei's little merit and spare the young son's life." Qin Lei sighed: "A few years ago, Zhao Yong had some credit for governing the county."

Lu Ting shook his head slightly: "General Qin, you still don't know about the bureaucratic system of my Han Dynasty, just last year, Admiral Wang separated the power of officials to decide cases from the local yamen, and set up a special yamen called the court, the court is top-down, self-contained, hears cases, and is not subject to the control of other yamen, the central government has a Supreme Court, a chief justice, appointed by the king, approved by the big council, the chief justice is a lifelong system, with great power, and the county has an intermediate court, and the county has a primary court, this decree has been in Tianhe County, Langya County, It was officially implemented in places such as Hejian County, and was delayed in other places due to the sudden outbreak of war. This time, Zhao Yong was escorted back to Jicheng for trial, and I am afraid that he will be handed over to this court for trial."

"No matter which yamen trials, the king is always the last to decide, right?" Qin Lei asked.

"This is not necessarily, you know the Great Council, the Great Council has been established for three years now, in the past three years, they have rejected a lot of opinions of the Political Affairs Hall, even if they know that some of them were made by the King at the behest of the Political Affairs Hall, the King wants to maintain the authority of the Great Council, not only is he not angry, but he is very appreciative, this time the Great Court is newly established, in order to maintain the authority of the Great Court, I am afraid that the final trial of the Great Court will not be dismissed, and with my understanding of the laws of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yong this time, I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the death penalty."

Qin Lei's face changed greatly.

"People like Zhao Yong will definitely be handed over to the Supreme Court for trial, and the first Supreme Justice Jing Shou, from the Military Justice Department of the Supervision Yuan, is a first-class iron-faced and selfless person."

"This, doesn't this mean that there is no way to save the young man?" Qin Lei asked in surprise.

Looking at Qin Lei, Lu Ting said in a low voice: "General Qin, don't make up your mind, thinking about letting this guy go halfway, it's not that I look down on this guy, even if you want to let go, he can't run, besides, this time Commander Helan hated Zhao Yong, and the people sent out were not only the Supervision Yuan, but also the masters in the army, not to mention that you are alone, even ten of you, and it will be difficult to let Zhao Yong go from under their noses."

"Am I just watching the young boy go to Jicheng to die?"

"No, there is another way, and that is the king." Lu Ting shook his head and said.

"Didn't you just say that the king would never interfere with the trial of the Great Court?"

"The king will not interfere with the outcome of the trial, but the king has a privilege, that is, pardon, but according to my Han law, the king's pardon power can only be once in three years, and whether the king will use it on Zhao Yong depends on you." Lu Ting's voice was lowered, "You can't say that I sued you, if you want Commander Helan to know, I can't eat and walk around."

"Thank you, Brother Lu." Qin Lei sincerely hugged his fist towards the landing pavilion and said, "If I can really save the young man's life, I will be grateful when I turn back."

"What a heavy thanks, let's live and die together in Hecheng, we have long been like a family, to be honest, I can't wait for this Zhao Yong to die, but it's just for the sake of General Qin's face, someone Lu can't bear to make you sad and sad in the future, this Zhao Yong is a bad life, even if he is alive, he will be like a living dead in the future, just a walking corpse."
