Chapter 477: Take it to the underworld to relieve boredom
Hearing this, the three of them were shocked, the three of them did have another identity, but for so many years, no one found out, did King Rui really know this, or lied to them?
"I don't understand what the prince said, we are the bounty hunters in the three rivers and lakes, taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters." Yu Jianqiang said calmly.
"Are you all just ordinary charlatans? The three of you used to serve in Lin Xu's army, and were punished by Lin Xu with military law for raping and slandering women in a nearby city, and later in a battle with Beiliang, you opened the city gate to lead the enemy into the city, and General Lin was killed. Later, you were floating in the rivers and lakes, and all the people didn't know that you were still alive, and after Lin Xiang found you, you became a dead soldier in his house, specializing in doing some shady things for Lin Xiang. Is this king right? King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.
Hearing this, the three of them knelt on the ground and refused to speak, and they didn't expect that the things that had been hidden for so many years would be turned over by King Rui.
Everyone here was even more surprised, when the Beiliang Army entered Zongyang City, they all said that the guard general Lin Xu died in order to protect the people, and the imperial court just posthumously sealed it and gave generous pensions to his family.
"Your Royal Highness King Rui, the prime minister knows that you want to seek justice for yourself, but you can't just slander the king and the prime minister? Although his appearance is not as noble as the prince's status, he is also loyal to Da Zhou. Lin Xiang hurriedly shouted.
"Oh? Lin Xiang said, this king has wronged you? King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Isn't it?" Lin Xiang said in a deep voice.
"So what?" King Rui is so tidy.
Isn't it just a scoundrel? You all will, do you think this king won't? This king is disdainful! Lao Jiu is right, there is no need to talk about any principles when dealing with bad guys.
"Lord Wang, how can you ......" Lin Xiang didn't know what to say for a while, what King Rui said was the truth, if he refuted it now, maybe he was in the other party's hands.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiang coughed lightly a few times, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the prince is at his own convenience." ”
Hearing this, King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Yu Jian and the others, the three of them were now very confused, opening the city gate and leading the enemy into the city, which was equivalent to betraying the country, and if they were caught, they would be delayed, and even their own families would be affected.
This is also the reason why the three of them have been drifting in the rivers and lakes and dare not go home.
"Is there any evidence for the prince's identification?" Yu Jianqiang said calmly.
"This king has a book of soldiers, and on it there are your signatures when you received your salaries, and your fingerprints. Even though the signature can be impersonated, the fingerprint is unique. King Rui shook the book of war in his hand and said.
"Come on, give them pen and paper, let them sign, compare them by fingerprints." King Huai said hurriedly.
If it weren't for the fact that the fifth brother was powerful, he would have almost been fooled by King Ding and others.
It's just that how did you find out the details of the three of Yu Jian? The result of his investigation of these three people is an ordinary bounty hunter in the rivers and lakes?
Could it be ......, is it the news that the fifth brother bought from that Netherworld Pavilion? To be honest, the Netherworld Pavilion is indeed very efficient, but the price is a little too expensive.
There are many princes in the Great Zhou, but there are few who are really powerful, and even fewer are financially strong.
The crown prince is because of the prince of the East Palace, and there are already many people who are filial piety, plus there is the queen's biological mother to help him collect money, and the money will indeed not be less.
Needless to say, although many businesses are not in his name, they are all taken care of by his cronies, and the money is like flowing water. He also made a lot of money selling official titles before, but unfortunately, he had no evidence, otherwise, King Ding would not have had a chance to be arrogant here.
After Yu Jian and the others signed and pressed their fingerprints, they knew that they would never have a chance again. Think about the old mothers, wives and children at home, they really regret not being at the beginning.
King Huai took the identical signature and fingerprint, and looked at the three kneeling people in the hall, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"We plead guilty and just ask the prince to kill us, and don't implicate our families." Yu Jian kowtowed vigorously.
"It depends on how much useful information you can spit out." King Huai leaned back.
"The three of us were indeed General Lin Xu's soldiers. It was also commanded to open the gates of the city and let the enemy army break in. Yu Jian said lightly.
"Commanded? Who instructed? King Huai looked at Lin Xiangdao.
"Prime Minister, Lin Qingsong."
"What nonsense, how did the prime minister ever instruct you to betray the country? What's in it for the Nature? Lin Xiang said angrily.
"Because General Lin refuses to use it for you, hand over the border defense map." Yu Jian said hurriedly.
"Yes, General Lin is a collateral relative of the Lin family, and he has no dealings with you, General Lin has an upright temperament and is not sociable, so he has never had a chance to be promoted. You use the excuse to promote him, and let him help you lead the Northern Liang army into the customs, so that King Rui can go to the battlefield, and if King Rui dies on the battlefield, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Cheng Jin echoed.
It turned out that General Lin was killed at the beginning, and in the end, King Rui had to fight, all of which were a well-designed game, that time, General Lin died in battle, and the commander of the Beiliang Army drove straight in, and finally King Rui went to the battlefield.
It's just that I didn't expect that on the way back to the dynasty with a great victory, I encountered an ambush, and I had to pretend to be lame for so many years before I escaped their poisonous hands.
At that time, King Rui was still young and frivolous, his mother had just died for half a year, and his grandfather's family stayed away from the court in order to save his life, and even his contacts with himself gradually decreased, making everyone feel that he was a prince with no power.
It is precisely because of these plans of his grandfather that he grew up quickly in the face of adversity.
"Lord Wang, we have already said what we should say, please, as long as our family is safe, we will die without complaint." Cheng Jin kneeled to King Rui's face.
"You haven't vomited it yet, are you going to take these secrets to the underworld to relieve your boredom?" King Rui squinted at Yu Jian and the others.
The three of them glanced at each other, these were all found out by King Rui, and they might be able to save their families by confessing these, but if they said other things, the family would definitely not be able to save them.
"You three bastards, but you have received a lot of benefits from King Rui, and you have framed this king like this, you have to think clearly, slander this king, not only you, but even your father, mother, wife and children will be unlucky, and maybe even your other relatives and friends will be affected." King Ding roared.
This is simply a blatant threat, this is to warn them that their family lives are in the hands of the king.
"His Royal Highness King Ding, we don't want to, it's King Rui, it's King Rui who forced us, we are all deserters, according to the law of the Great Zhou, deserters are going to be killed, we are afraid, so we listen to King Rui's false accusation of King Ding." Ma Cheng said hurriedly.
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar again, what? All the crimes that were pointed out to the king just now were planted by King Rui? This Rui Wang shouldn't be, Rui Wang has great achievements and fame, and the princess gave birth to the first imperial grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what else is worth framing others.
"Ma Cheng, what nonsense are you talking about? How could King Rui let you frame the king? Is it because the king threatens you? King Huai said hurriedly.
"Lao Jiu, what do you mean by this, you are suspected of helping King Rui, Lord Zhu, Lord Cai, Lord Zhai, do you say?" King Ding said proudly.
It's really not easy, just now it has always been King Rui who occupies the peak, who knew that there would be such a peak and a turn, a bright one.
"King Ding, what nonsense are you talking about? Ben Wang ......"
Seeing this, King Hui knew that King Huai was led by the nose by King Ding, so he hurriedly grabbed King Huai, "Brother King Ding, you said that you didn't raise the dead, but these three people are clearly acquaintances with you, and they have eye contact with you from the moment they come in, and these kings are all in their eyes." Now the king can use your family as a threat, and when the matter is over, how will you and your family be saved? ”
King Hui's words made the three of them sway again, and they had to admit that King Hui's words were reasonable, King Ding had always been ruthless, and when he was safe, he would definitely kill them.
At this moment, I heard a loud singing, "The emperor has arrived in ......"
Emperor? I didn't expect the emperor to come. The three adults knelt down to greet him.
After a while, he saw a bright yellow figure appear in front of everyone, and when the emperor saw King Rui, he was slightly stunned, "King Rui, why don't you rest at home, someone here has to deal with the matter." ”
"Father, the son came because there was new evidence, and just an hour ago, the place where the evidence was stored was on fire." Rui Wang said lightly.
"What? The place where the evidence is stored is on fire? Is there any human injury? How much of the evidence was destroyed? The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.
This good person will go to the water, the reason can be imagined, I really didn't expect that it has come to such a time, and there are still people who want to keep the king.
"Back to my father, the evidence was transferred early, and there was no damage, and there were no casualties, just a house was burned." King Huai saluted respectfully.
"That's good, I'm just worried about what will happen, so I came here to hear it, so you can continue." The emperor waved his hand, and then found a place to sit down.
The emperor heard the trial, and Dali Siqing and the criminal department Shangshu couldn't help but swallow their saliva at the same time.
Now, the emperor can be here, even if they have their own plans, they can only do it now.
"Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to recruit from the truth, I just ask the emperor to promise the grass people, no matter what, the grass people's families will not be implicated, even if it is a thousand cuts, the grass people will not frown." Yu Jian kowtowed vigorously to the emperor.
Since King Ding is not credible, and King Huai does not agree, he can only go to the emperor, as long as the emperor agrees, then even if he dies, he can rest assured.
His family didn't have a good life with him for a few days, so he couldn't make his own mistakes, but he had to bear them together.
Yu Jian and the three of them all have parents, wives and children, so they naturally don't want to watch their families die with them.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you tell the truth, I will only punish the three of you, and I will not affect your family." ”
With the emperor's guarantee, Yu Jian and the others no longer have any worries. King Rui knew that what these three men said next would be other crimes against the king......
