Chapter 229: Trial of Dong Peng
Tongqiu City.
After a great victory, everyone rejoiced, and Tongqiu City feasted all the soldiers.
The people in Tongqiu City were also overjoyed, and originally thought that they would be ravaged by the Yellow Turban Bandit Army.
Originally, beating Tong Qiu was a false shot in Zang Ba's opinion, but he didn't expect Tong Qiu Ling to flee before fighting.
In addition, Liu Xie and they came in time, so the Yellow Turban Army did not have time to loot in Tongqiu City, so Liu Xie also indirectly saved Tongqiu.
Just as Liu Xie and the others were holding a banquet in Tongqiu City to celebrate the victory in front of them, a sergeant suddenly came in to report that Tongqiu Ling wanted to see Liu Xie.
"Tong Qiu Ling? Isn't that the chief of this Tongqiu? But didn't you say you ran away before? Why is it back at this time? Everyone who heard this name was a little stunned at first, but at this time they were a little surprised.
After all, it is incredible that the person who fled before a fight still had the courage to come to see Liu Xie.
"Let him in." Liu Xie waved his hand, and the sergeant immediately walked out, and then saw the sergeant followed by a fat man.
I saw the fat man come forward and say directly: "Xiaguan Tongqiu Ling Dong Peng, I have seen the King of Bohai." ”
"This fat man in front of him is Tong Qiu Ling Dong Peng who ran away?"
I'm afraid this is the thought that came out of the hearts of everyone present, but I didn't expect this product to appear at this time.
Everyone present couldn't help but make a mess, obviously Dong Peng's appearance was too unexpected for everyone present.
Liu Xie was also very surprised, originally Liu Xie thought that this Dong Peng was probably slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army in the process of escaping.
I didn't expect to appear in front of me alive now, and it was better to be slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army.
"You still have the face to come?!"
Hearing an angry voice, everyone looked at Chen Gong, who had not spoken just now, but stood up and scolded.
Dong Peng was taken aback by Chen Gong's sudden reprimand, but it seemed that Chen Gong should be under Liu Xie's command, Dong Peng's identity suddenly became angry: "What kind of thing do you dare to care about me?" Beware of this officer....."
"Be careful of what?" At this time, Liu Xie, who was at the top, spoke, and looked at Dong Pengdao with a smile.
When the people beside Liu Xie saw Liu Xie's smile, they could feel a deep chill for some reason.
"Oh, I forgot that Xie'er is here......" Hearing what Liu Xie said, Dong Peng hurriedly said to Liu Xie cordially.
"Presumptuous!"
At the same time that Dong Peng's voice had not yet fallen, a loud shout sounded beside Dong Peng.
Dong Peng was suddenly trembling, and the shouting of Chen Gong just now was nothing compared to it.
When I looked at the past, it was none other than Xu Chu!
Also, Xu Chu, as a military general, is naturally much stronger than Chen Gong as a minister, both in tone and momentum.
"Who are you? Can't find death? Dong Peng saw Xu Chu dressed as a guard, and immediately said angrily.
Regarding Dong Peng's threat, Xu Chu didn't care at all, and glanced at Dong Peng with disdain.
Seeing Xu Chu's reaction, Dong Peng's whole person was about to explode, but he didn't expect that he had only been in Tongqiu for a few days, and an ordinary sergeant dared to call himself, what are you kidding?
I saw Dong Peng raise his eyes and look around, and saw the long knife on the waist of the guard at the door, and pulled it out with a sound of "poof~", looking like he was going to cut Xu Chu.
Xu Chu glanced at Liu Xie, Liu Xie nodded, Xu Chu suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and suddenly flashed the knife stabbed by Dong Peng.
Then he kicked Dong Peng's waist, and suddenly Dong Peng fell to the ground after eating.
"Oops~"
When did Dong Peng suffer such a grievance, he suddenly howled like a pig, I don't know if it was painful or pretended.
"Take it for me!"
only listened to Xu Chu's order, and several Han army sergeants came in, and directly pressed Dong Peng, who was about to get up, to the ground again, unable to move.
"You'll regret it! Xie'er, oh no, Your Highness help! At this time, Dong Peng finally remembered Liu Xie, and suddenly realized that his name was inappropriate, and hurriedly shouted.
But no matter how Dong Peng shouted, it didn't help, and the sergeants directly tied up Dong Peng to Wuhuada: "Are you crazy? I'm Tongqiu Ling, how can you be tied up by a big-headed soldier who said he could tie it? ”
"Whoever is disrespectful to the lord, I don't care what he is... Or any general, I'm going to tie it up! Xu Chu was not moved at all.
In Dong Peng's opinion, Xu Chu must be crazy!
Not to mention Dong Peng's identity, as Tong Qiu Ling, how could he be tied up by a big soldier like Xu Chu.
What's more, doesn't he know who Dong Peng is? Dong Peng stood behind the Dong family, and he was still related to Liu Xie, the king of the Bohai Sea.
is such a person who was tied up by Xu Chu when he said that he was tied up, it was just nonsense, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on Liu Xie, who was the top.
Letting Dong Peng roar there, Liu Xie himself was so busy that he didn't seem to see the scene happening in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xie finally looked in the direction where Dong Peng was, as if he felt Liu Xie's gaze, Dong Peng not only did not have the slightest worry, but also looked at Liu Xie expectantly.
For his cousin Dong Peng, Liu Xie has long heard that he has no ability to lead troops, and he has no wisdom to govern the country, so he was simply arranged by the Dong family to be a Tongqiu order, and he is at ease on weekdays.
Liu Xie sometimes wonders, what is the meaning of life for people like Dong Peng?
"Dong Peng, are you guilty?" At this time, Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked Dong Peng.
"Guilty?" In Dong Peng's view, the word guilty would not appear in him at all.
has always relied on the power of the Dong family, arrogant and domineering, and every time he gets into trouble, he can be safe and sound, which also fuels Dong Peng's arrogance to do whatever he wants.
Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was none other than Liu Xie.
"Xie'er.... No, Your Highness, don't make fun of me. Dong Peng originally subconsciously wanted to call Liu Xie's name, but was glared at by Xu Chu on the side, and hurriedly held back.
"Teasing you? Do you think Lone is kidding you? Seeing Dong Peng's still hippie smiling face, Liu Xie said with a straight face.
"No, no, the lower officials misunderstood, His Highness is not joking." Dong Peng, no matter how stupid he is, knows how to observe words and feelings, and when he saw Liu Xieban's face, he quickly corrected his attitude.
In Dong Peng's opinion, there must be too many outsiders here, so Liu Xie, in order to take care of his reputation, showed everyone a "righteous annihilation".
Since Liu Xie wants to perform, Dong Peng naturally wants to cooperate with each other, after all, they are all family.
Seeing that Dong Peng's tone suddenly softened, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Dong Peng was thinking, and a trace of sarcasm flashed on his face.
"Now that you know that Lone isn't joking with you, are you guilty?" Liu Xie then asked.
"The lower official is guilty." Hearing what Liu Xie said, Dong Peng hurriedly replied.
"Okay, so tell me what crime you've committed?" Hearing Dong Peng's cooperative look, Liu Xie asked with a smile.
"Weichen misjudged the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, and who knew that he lost Tongqiu City for a while......"
"Are you not aware of it for a while?" Hearing that Dong Peng was still defending himself, before he could finish speaking, Liu Xie interrupted.
"My ......"
"What are you? Lone will give you another chance, and I'll talk about it when I'm ready. Obviously, Liu Xie was not satisfied with Dong Peng's answer, but said again, especially "think about it" emphatically.
Hearing what Liu Xie said, Dong Peng thought that Liu Xie was hinting to him, and he didn't dare to say it, but thinking of the Dong family behind him and Liu Xie in front of him, Dong Peng suddenly had confidence.
Dong Peng thought about it, so he said honestly: "Weichen was cowardly before fighting, and fled before the battle, causing the Yellow Turban to seize Tongqiu. ”
"Good! Dare to do it, have you heard it clearly? Hearing Dong Peng's honest confession, Liu Xie immediately said loudly to everyone.
Hearing what Liu Xie said, everyone nodded, but they didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Xie's gourd was selling.
The relationship between the Dong family and Liu Xie behind Dong Peng is very clear in everyone's hearts, even Xu Chu and others don't think that Liu Xie can do anything to Dong Peng.
After all, in the eyes of the world, the Dong family is the backer that Liu Xie can rely on.
But only Liu Xie knows in his heart that his backer is only himself!
"Gongtai, please write down what Dong Taishou said just now, and let him sign it." While everyone was thinking, Liu Xie said to Chen Gong.
According to Liu Xie's arrangement, Chen Gong thanked Dong Peng for all the charges he had just said, and Xu Chu took it and asked Dong Peng to sign and detain.
Looking at the crime in front of him, Dong Peng began to hesitate, after all, no one would sign such a thing.
However, thinking of the Dong family behind him and thinking that Liu Xie's "prompt" just now, Dong Peng was ruthless and drew a few strokes on it.
After Xu Chu confirmed that it was correct, he directly presented all the evidence of Dong Peng's crime to Liu Xie.
"Dong Peng, are you guilty?!" Liu Xie shouted loudly, which scared Dong Peng into a clever way.
Didn't you ask just now, but Dong Peng didn't dare to squeak, but replied again: "The lower official is guilty." ”
"Have you confessed to all the charges above?" Liu Xie pointed to the charge in his hand.
"I did it, what's wrong?" Dong Peng faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong, and said strongly.
"Good! Joyfully! Gongtai, you were the Zhongmu Commander before, you should know that the chief official of this place, what should be the crime of abandoning the city and fleeing without a fight? Suddenly, Liu Xie turned to Chen Gong and asked.
Hearing what Liu Xie said, Chen Gong said succinctly: "Capital crime." ”
"Dong Peng, can you hear clearly?" Liu Xie asked Dong Peng, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"What capital offense? How is it possible, even if I am guilty, I will not be guilty of capital crimes, and besides, even if I am guilty, it is not something that this little cloth can convict......"
"He can't be lonely, but he can be determined! Come! Before Dong Peng finished speaking, Liu Xie said to the sergeants.
"In!"
"Drag him out and cut him down!
