Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter 88 Qingcheng asked, why?
Under Qingcheng's questioning, Liang Feng recalled the scene of the plan to cooperate with the enemy that day, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that is, from that day on, he could never turn back.
"Qingcheng...... You're right, as the pioneer of Linhai City, I'm gambling on the safety of the people and disregarding human life, even if I have a million reasons, I can't convince myself. I was always wrong. ”
Liang Feng's heartfelt confession did not make Qingcheng feel pity for him because of this. Liang Feng can still repent if he is wrong, but Wang Daniu and Wang Sister-in-law, as well as all the people and soldiers who died in Linhai City, they don't even have a chance to live.
Liang Feng lowered his head after repentance, and was silent, as if a tear of remorse passed quietly in the corner of his eyes.
Once upon a time, Liang Feng was the first general under the seat of Haihou in Linhai Town, he had the people in mind, his heart was for the common people, and he vowed to spend his life to benefit Linhai. Unexpectedly, time passed, and he became an accomplice to the scourge of the people. Perhaps for Liang Feng, this is what he regrets the most.
The most tragic thing about a person is that he has lived the most disgusted person, and has become the person he once least wanted to be. Liang Feng is the same. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and he didn't wipe the tears even if they slipped down. Tears hung on his face, as if satirizing what he had done.
Seeing him like this, Qingcheng didn't reprimand him too much, because he knew that Liang Feng didn't have to be better off himself. If he is really a bastard, he will naturally have no remorse for what he has done, and Qingcheng will not hesitate to take revenge, let alone talk nonsense with him, he will do it a long time ago. But he wasn't.
"Later, I made up my mind to suppress the bandits, and invited you to go with me, and what I said to you at that time was not intended to deceive, but it was from the bottom of my heart. It's a pity that you were still thinking about reporting the news at the time, Brother Liang, to be honest, I was very disappointed in you that day. ”
The sentence "very disappointed" hit Liang Feng's heart hard, he savored the meaning behind Qingcheng's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking very miserable.
"Yes, you were kind enough to pull me, but I am still obsessed, and I should be disappointed."
Listening to Liang Feng's words, Qingcheng sighed after a moment of silence and continued: "At that time, I claimed that the object of my suspicion was Hou Ye, just to test your reaction. If my guess is wrong, you are not the inner ghost, after hearing my words, although you will not believe that Hou Ye collaborated with the enemy, you should defend him and come up with evidence to prove it. But what about you, you just blindly don't believe and have a firm attitude, but you can't say why, then there is only one reason. Because you are the inner ghost, you naturally know that Hou Ye is innocent. ”
What Qingcheng said was correct, Liang Feng couldn't help but nodded, and after a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly: "At that time, I heard that the object of your suspicion was actually Hou Ye, and the analysis was reasonable, and I couldn't find a reason to defend Hou Ye for a while, but I really can't implicate Hou Ye, I can't imagine that it will confirm your suspicion of me because of this." ”
"No, I will never convict you, Brother Liang, based on just speculation, and I don't want to wronged anyone because of my misjudgment. Brother Liang, you were cautious in your words and deeds along the way, and did not show any clues, and finally let me confirm that Brother Liang, you are the evidence of the inner ghost, this is it. ”
As he spoke, Qingcheng took out something from his arms and handed it to Liang Feng. The latter took it and looked closely, and found that it was actually a confession. Then, Liang Feng understood.
"It's a hundred secrets. I never expected that Qingcheng, your mind would be so careful that you could think of this matter. That's right, if the previous is just an inference, then this confession can basically be used as evidence. ”
"Hmph, Brother Liang, you don't have to be too humble, your mind Qingcheng can be regarded as a comprehension. Last time, Hou Ye led his troops to the battle, and you conspired with Shangquan Shinxuan to install Haichuan spies in the army, so as to set up an ambush and take my life. But you know that this is too risky, because if you change a batch, you have to change a batch, and as long as you strictly investigate who changed the soldiers afterwards, the identity of the ghost will not be hidden. ”
Hearing this, Liang Feng chuckled and interjected: "Yes, I heard that King Guhong ordered Xu Lin to investigate this matter thoroughly on the same day, and didn't he also find out the identity of that person?" But I heard that that person was not disposed of, it should be your arrangement in Qingcheng, right? ”
Qingcheng nodded, indicating that it was indeed his own doing, and explained: "This is what Qingcheng admires about Brother Liang. Not only did you arrange a scapegoat, but you also found someone from Wan Lijun to earn back face for Hou Ye in King Guhong, didn't King Guhong personally apologize to Hou Ye? It's a pity that the man didn't admit that he was an internal ghost, and even under the heavy punishment, he didn't bend into a trick, which disappointed Brother Liang, right? ”
Qingcheng already knew the truth, and Liang Feng didn't want to act anymore, so he admitted at the moment: "Yes, that was indeed arranged by me." At that time, I thought that I must not do this matter of transferring soldiers by myself, and it happened to let me know that there was a slight collapse at the north gate of Linhai City, although there were no casualties and it was not very serious, but the battle was tight, and it was impossible to transfer manpower for a while. At that time, I thought, why not send a group of soldiers to help, and then secretly replace them and blend them into the army. Then arrange them to do other things before the expedition, and there is no one in the middle of the Wan Li Army, so they can only be transferred again, so they just become my scapegoat. ”
Hearing Liang Feng be so honest, Qingcheng couldn't help but snort lightly, and said, "Yes, who would have thought that those spies didn't just get into the army before the war, but they got into it early. The man in Wan Lijun transferred the soldiers before the war, and he just took the blame for you. And he is not from Linhai City, so Brother Liang, you won't feel guilty, right? But it's a pity, this kind of trick was discovered by Qingcheng, that person is still alive in prison, and when today's matter is over, I will find a way to exonerate him. ”
Qingcheng saw Liang Feng's means, and secretly arranged for Mu Huang to stay in Linhai City to investigate the matter strictly, the latter really lived up to the trust, and it was enough to see that the magic power was vast, and she finally found out that there was a team of soldiers in the fortifications of Linhai City to help, and followed the vine to touch the melon, and interrogated the leader of the person was Liang Feng.
After that, Mu Huang found the person who knew Liang Feng, and asked him to write a detailed confession and hand it over to Qingcheng. After seeing it, Qingcheng completely confirmed the fact that Liang Feng was an internal ghost, so he rushed to Liang Mansion overnight and questioned Liang Feng.
Now that everything is clear, Liang Feng has nothing to say, and he doesn't intend to defend himself, and the two fell into silence. After a while, Liang Feng remembered something, and couldn't help but ask: "Qingcheng, the evidence you have, this is the only one, and the rest has been burned by me, and now that you have handed over this thing to me, are you not afraid that I will die and destroy all the evidence, and then deny it outright?" I believe that as long as I don't admit it, Master Hou will definitely not believe your words. ”
What Liang Feng said was true, but Qingcheng didn't feel the slightest emotion after hearing it, but was very calm and calm.
"That thing was meant to be given to Brother Liang, so why should I worry."
Qingcheng actually said that this evidence was for Liang Feng, which made the latter feel a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Give it to me?" Qingcheng, you ......"
"Brother Liang", Qingcheng interrupted Liang Feng's words and said: "Qingcheng didn't alarm others when he came today, and he saw that you only appeared after burning all the letters exchanged with Shangquan Xinxuan, and first handed over the last piece of evidence to you, Brother Liang, just because I don't want this matter to make a big deal and shame for Brother Liang and Hou Ye." ”
Hearing Qingcheng's words, Liang Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and Qingcheng didn't say more, the two looked at each other like this, and fell silent again.
After a while, Liang Feng stood up, walked in front of Qingcheng, and then knelt on one knee with his hands in fists, gave a heavy salute and said: "Qingcheng, you are benevolent and righteous, broad-minded, Liang is ashamed of you." ”
Seeing Liang Feng like this, Qingcheng hurriedly supported him, and persuaded him: "Right and wrong, Qingcheng has a clear ruler in his heart, Brother Liang, you are wrong, you are guilty, or you deserve to die, but the crime will not cause thousands of people to spit on and affect the Hou Ye." Now there are many factions in Linhai City, and the undercurrent is surging, Qingcheng is only here for justice, but he really doesn't want to become a pawn to kill his colleagues. All this is voluntary for me, Brother Liang doesn't have to be like this. ”
Qingcheng's grievances were clear, Liang Feng was even more ashamed, shook his head incessantly, and explained: "No, under such circumstances, you can still think about Hou Ye and me, but I am already very grateful for this, and the most important thing is that I am sorry for you, and I am ashamed of you." Qingcheng, do you know that on East Silicon Island that day, I knew about the sealing soldiers left by Shangquan Shinxuan, as well as the ambush he set up, but I didn't tell you, let alone stop you, and even at that moment I still had some hope that you could be buried in the cave. Now that I think about it, I'm so confused! ”
Liang Feng regretted that he had calculated Qingcheng, and Qingcheng heard him mention this, thinking about what Liang Feng had said to him before this expedition, and what he said about being sorry for himself, so he understood. But he didn't see the slightest anger, but smiled bitterly and said: "It's a situation where you die and I die, how can I hope that you will be good for me." Brother Liang has never taken the initiative to harm me, and Qingcheng is already very pleased. Don't mention the past. ”
Yes, after today, the two of them will die and live, so what's the point of worrying about these things? Thinking about this, Liang Feng should also be clear, so Qingcheng is open-minded, and he will no longer twist. After the two stood up, Qingcheng glanced at the evidence in Liang Feng's hand, and then said, "Brother Liang, please." ”
Liang Feng naturally knew what Qingcheng meant, nodded lightly, then turned around and walked towards the brazier, throwing this thing inside and burning it to ashes. Looking at his movements, Qingcheng couldn't help frowning slightly, and thought to himself: Everything that should be said is finished, everything is clear, it's time......
"Qingcheng."
After Liang Feng finished burning the evidence, he suddenly called out Qingcheng's name, and said, "You came here today, don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
Hearing Liang Feng's words, Qingcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Of course there is." Even at this point, I still don't know anything. Brother Liang, why? What is there that is the last resort that can make you not hesitate to hide from Hou Ye to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and disregard human life? I know that you are not a person who uses power for personal gain, I also know that you live a poor life, and I know that you once loved the people like a son and devoted yourself to the country, so I don't understand even more, what is the reason for you to embark on this road? ”
In the end, Qingcheng was a little excited, and Liang Feng seemed to have guessed that Qingcheng would ask this question, but he didn't see any emotion. He didn't rush to answer Qingcheng's question, but sighed lightly, raised his head and slowly looked at Mingyue.
