Pre-Qin Volume Chapter 111 Borrowing a Knife
Dusty continued: "Just a few days ago, Beichen suddenly came to Uncle Chengyun and asked us to help him do something, if it can be done smoothly, he will promise to hand over the Jade Hengxing, the Yin and Yang Clutch Sword, and the Demon Suppression Catalogue to us. β
"What did Beichen ask you to do for him?"
"Ask us to take action to avenge his dead disciples." As he spoke, he glanced at the lights out standing next to him: "The target is this Dao Chief." Recently, what happened in the Lingxiao Palace of Sifang Mountain has spread in the vicinity of Xianyang, and everyone is talking about it, saying that someone singled out the entire Lingxiao Palace and killed five Qixingzi and hundreds of Daoists overnight. Beichen Zhenren's strength has been greatly damaged, and he can't summon reliable masters to take revenge in the short term, so he has to ask us for help. β
Zhao Liang nodded and asked again, "Your senior uncle agreed?" β
Dusty replied: "At the beginning, Uncle Chengyun didn't immediately agree. Because if the rumors are true, then it means that the kung fu of the lights out path leader is extremely strong, and with our people here, I am afraid that there is no certainty of victory. Moreover, Xianyang is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, and if you act there, you may be intervened and attacked by the imperial court at any time, so Uncle Shi is very cautious about this. β
Zheng Luya asked Yuanchen curiously: "Then why did you decide to participate later?" β
"Because of the conditions offered by Beichen, it is really difficult to refuse." Dusty said: "We have come here for nearly half a year, the purpose is to hunt down the traitors of the Kunlun faction and regain the treasures. If you miss this opportunity, if you want to find Beichen to ask for treasure, I am afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Therefore, after discussing with a few of our senior disciples, Uncle Chengyun decided that there was no need to ask the Kunlun General Altar again, and directly investigated the responsibility of the Lights Out Daoist for slaughtering the Daoists of Lingxiao Palace on the grounds of Kuang Fu Xuanmen's justice. Originally, our original plan was to find a night to attack Xu Fu's Taoist temple, but then we suddenly received an urgent notice from Beichen, asking us to rush to ambush outside the city and turn off the lights. β
Zhao Liang heard what he said basically the same as his previous judgment, so he nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Who participated in the ambush outside the city?" β
Dusty replied honestly: "Except for Uncle Shi and his two disciples, the rest of the people in Xianyang participated, a total of eleven fellow disciples. However, the lights out Dao Leader is really powerful, we are quite good kung fu players in the Kunlun faction, but eleven people can't keep him when they have a heart or not, but they killed one person and seriously injured two people, alas! β
When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but be impressed by the growth of the lights out, and secretly praised the skills of this long-faced veteran who was really not ordinary.
"We searched for a long time in the mountains and forests, but we couldn't find the figure of the lights out chief, so we had to return to Xianyang dejectedly and report to Uncle Shi and Beichen. When Uncle Chengyun heard about it, he was very angry, and blamed us for not being good at learning and disgrace the Kunlun faction. However, after all, where to find the lights to turn off for a while, Uncle Shi didn't have any good ideas, so he could only sulk spontaneously. Avoiding the dust paused, and said: "In the evening of the same day, Beichen Zhenren found us again and said that there was a way to force the lights out, and we needed our full cooperation. To tell the truth, the original decision to ambush the Lights Out Daoist was purely to reach a quid pro quo with Beichen, which was just a mission that had nothing to do with us. But at this time, there have been casualties on our side, and the nature has completely changed, even if Beichen Zhenren doesn't come to beg us, our Kunlun faction will definitely not give up on the lights out Dao Leader easily. So Uncle Chengyun readily agreed and decided to cooperate with Beichen's strategy. β
Zhao Liang said in a deep voice: "What does the so-called strategy proposed by Beichen refer to? β
Shunchen swallowed bitterly and replied: "It is to follow the young gang leader of the Weishui Gang, Gong Yubo, to sneak attack Bai Yunfan's family, and then blame the head of the lights out for the murder." In this way, you can either force the lights out to show up, or you can use the anger of the martial arts people to get rid of him in one fell swoop. β
Although everyone present already knew that the Bai family's extermination case was planned by Beichen and carried out by the masters of the Kunlun faction, when they heard Yuan Chen say it himself, they still couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations and reprimands.
Ignoring the reactions of others, he continued: "Senior Uncle Chengyun selected eight of our disciples who had better kung fu, led by him personally, and set off overnight with Gong Yubo, and came to Jingkou Town around the third watch that night. Since this place is relatively remote, there is not much external interference, and Uncle Chengyun led us directly into the Bai family, and restrained Bai Yunfan and his three sons as soon as they came up. β
Che Ying, who was sitting on the side, asked Yuan Chen: "Since you are just planning to blame the head of the lights out, why is it not enough to kill Old Man Bai alone?" Do you have to destroy people's homes?! β
Avoiding dust glanced at Che Ying, lowered his head in shame and said, "At that time, we were also forced to do so. Bai Yunfan himself has good martial arts, and it is not easy to clean him up, and the rest of the Bai family does not know why, they are extremely alert, and they all ran out after hearing a little movement, and one of the sons actually recognized the tricks of our Kunlun faction. There was no way, Uncle Chengyun had to decide not to stay alive. β
"What was the palace young gang leader doing at that time?" Zhao Liang suddenly asked.
Gong Yubo was shocked when he heard this, and was about to speak, only to hear Yuanchen answer: "Gong Yubo is very timid, he first showed us the way, found Bai Yunfan, and after Uncle Chengyun killed the old man, he sneaked out of the Bai family's mansion alone and waited for us outside." β
Hearing him say this, Gong Yubo put his heart in his stomach, fell to his knees with a plop, and bowed to Zhao Liang and the others: "I deserve to die for the crime, I was mistakenly used by a traitor and harmed the old man Bai's family, the crime deserves ten thousand deaths, the crime deserves ten thousand deaths!" β
"Alright, you get up first." Zhao Liang said lightly: "It's still the same as we said before, as long as you are willing to atone for your sins, assist the government in cracking this case, and remember that you don't have direct blood on your hands, the court will consider a light sentence as appropriate." β
Gong Yubo thanked him again and again, and then stood up tremblingly. Zhao Liang didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time, and turned his head to ask Yuanchen: "After the murder, what did you all do?" β
Fuchen replied: "Uncle Shi left the five of us to guard Jingkou Town, on the one hand, to continue to search for the whereabouts of the lights-out chief, and on the other hand, to check the reaction of the government, and then he returned to Xianyang with Gong Yubo. After that, Gong Yuhiro gathered all the people from the Northwest Martial Arts and gathered here to deal with the Lights Out Dao Chief, while we still hid in the shadows, secretly cooperating with his actions as planned. As for how to fulfill the previous agreement with Beichen Zhenren, Uncle Shi is fully responsible for it in Xianyang City. But...... Now it seems that most of Beichen did not have any good intentions, and our Kunlun faction may be empty in the end. β
Zhao Liang laughed and said, "It's not too late for you to understand this truth now." This is the so-called one wrong step, one wrong step. Regardless of the rights and wrongs between you and Yu Hengxing, just saying that in order to achieve your goal, you will do whatever it takes, vainly trying to exchange the life of the lights out Dao Leader for what you want, and it is destined to end up with no good results. Fortunately, you can get lost and explain the problem clearly, and you may be able to save the Kunlun faction in the future. Hengxiβ"
"The lower official is here."
"Take the confession to Shunchen and take a closer look," Zhao Liang instructed, "If there are no objections or mistakes, let him sign and draw a pledge." β
Hengxi obeyed the order, and hurriedly handed over the written bamboo slips to the official messenger and handed them to the dust. After a few cursory glances, he took the brush and signed his name on the back.
Zhao Liang saw that the matter was over, and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone." Now the case of Bai Yunfan's family being tragically destroyed is basically clear. The remaining four Kunlun sect disciples asked the Evergrande people, the Che League master, and Mr. Zhu Jia to continue the interrogation together, and strive to get an accurate confession, together with the two confessions of the previous palace young gang leader and the dust avoidance, to form a complete set of case files, and then directly submit them to the imperial court. The stakes are so high that I reckon I will have to ask Your Majesty to make a decision in the end. β
Hengxi, Che Ying, and the Zhu family got up one after another when they heard this, and they agreed.
"There is justice in the world, so you don't have to worry," Zhao Liang continued: "Great Qin has always ruled the world with a legal family, and since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, even if the princes and nobles of the past dynasties violated the criminal law, it would be difficult to escape the severe sanctions of the Great Qin court, let alone a mere national teacher Beichen? As long as an objective conclusion can be drawn on this matter, and there is comprehensive evidence and confession, I believe that the grievances of Old Man Bai's family can finally be revealed. And the culprit will definitely not escape the law! β
He paused slightly, and then said: "Zheng Xiangu and I still have the emperor's order, so we can't delay too much here, and the next thing will be left to you." β
Hearing this, Hengxi hurriedly said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Lord Guoshi, with the assistance of the Che Alliance Master and Mr. Zhu, coupled with the full support of General Meng on behalf of my Great Qin military, the subordinate will definitely handle this case clearly, and will never live up to the trust of His Majesty and the National Teacher." β
To tell the truth, before this, Hengxi, who was the county magistrate of Fushi County, had been playing drums in his heart, lest he would be accidentally involved in the struggle of the high-level of the court, and be dragged into the quagmire of no return by this inexplicable headless case in front of him, and finally inevitably become a pitiful victim between the two major forces. But what he never expected was that in just one day and one night, Zhao Liang, the little national teacher, found out the facts of the case, not only mastered key witnesses like Gong Yubo, and even the murderer was directly arrested, but also got a real confession, which is equivalent to turning the Bai family's destruction into a completely reliable iron case.
With such a result, as long as the case file is put in front of his boss, no matter how angry the national teacher Beichen is, or if he is also implicated in other high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, he Hengxi no longer has to be afraid and worry. It's a big deal, it goes directly to the front of Qin Shi Huang's palace, in the case of ironclad evidence, who can still say that he is half a word?
And more importantly, as a small county order, Hengxi actually had the opportunity to work under Zhao Liang, which is a blessing that I don't know how many lifetimes can be cultivated. Although there were a lot of offenses and offenses because he didn't know the identity of the other party before, it seems that this young big man doesn't seem to be too serious, so as long as he can do the things ordered by the little national teacher beautifully, as soon as he is happy, maybe he will say a few kind words in front of the emperor, so wouldn't it be just around the corner in the future?
After figuring out all the truths here, at this time, Hengxi had already consciously and actively regarded Zhao Liang as the big boss in the background, and was willing to regard himself as a junior brother, and said to Zhao Liang sincerely: "Master Guoshi, the lower officials are completely convinced this time." It is really admirable that you have been able to find out the truth in such a short period of time. My lord, please allow me to express my great respect to you on behalf of the Bai family and the people of the county. β
Che Ying also arched his hand and said: "What Evergrande people say is also what we say. Che Ying has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and has never met a hero like you, courage and wisdom are combined, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, and he has solved a major case in the rivers and lakes in an understatement. On behalf of my fellow martial artists in the Northwest, I would like to thank the National Teacher for upholding justice for Mr. Bai. β
Zhao Liang was a little fluttering by Hengxi and Che Ying, especially the big watery eyes of the beauty alliance leader, full of admiration and admiration, which made him feel like a deer in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is it, you can pass the award." If we have the opportunity, we will find a time to talk separately and discuss some of my understanding of this case......"
