Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard this, reined in his horse, retreated, raised his horsewhip, and commanded the soldiers: "Quick, quick, catch Geng Gong, catch Geng Gong!" Hundreds of soldiers rushed up to the front, but they stopped, they were afraid of their prestige, how dare they act rashly!

Geng Gong looked at Liu Zhang contemptuously, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for the reputation of the Geng family, even if I died, I wouldn't want to be arrested!" With that, he threw his sword on the ground. The soldiers were happy, rushed up, pressed Geng Gong, and tied him up like a zongzi.

The main hall of Luoyang Mansion, inside and out, was full of tiger-like and wolf-like guards, wearing armor, holding sharp blades in their hands, and their eyes were wide open, revealing a thick murderous aura. Directly in front, sat Tingwei Zhang Chang, with a black face and yellow beard, a pointed mouth and square jaws, and a menacing momentum. On the left side sat the great Sima and the great general Dou Gu, squinting their eyes, occasionally opening them, revealing their murderous aura. There were a few women standing at the bottom, quite attractive, holding three or two drooping children, half-covering the peach blossoms, crying. The three big men next to him were lying on the ground, and they had been beaten to the point that their skin was open.

"Bold Li Dare, quickly recruit from the truth, who is it that instructed you to kill Luoyang Mansion Yin? Hmph, do you think that if you carry it to the end, there is no way for this official? Zhang Chang slapped the public case and shouted loudly.

"Killing that Fu Yin, it was Lao Tzu who did it, it's someone else's business! If you want to kill, just kill, what are you doing with so much nonsense? Li Dang only felt that his buttocks were like fire, his old injuries had just healed, and he was punished with a cane, so he was naturally very painful, but he gritted his teeth and stood up, stunned and didn't snort.

Zhang Feng lay on the ground, full of remorse: "If it weren't for himself, Li Kang and Yang Wu wouldn't have slipped out, how could they have caused such a big disaster?" What about Brother Geng Gong, how is he now? Now, there is no choice but to die! He raised his head with difficulty and hoarsely throated: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, Lord Tingwei, Wang Kang and the blue wolf were not killed by Li Dang, I killed them, you let them go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Wu shouted: "Those two eight lambs were killed by Lao Tzu!" Hmph, the avenue leads to the sky, go to one side, that Wang Kang, what's wrong with being an official? Whipping this and beating that with a whip along the way, Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to it, this kind of corrupt official, if you don't kill him, what's the use of keeping it! ”

Zhang Chang couldn't help but be amazed, he interrogated countless prisoners, only those who shouted injustice and blame, and never saw those who fought for guilt, thinking: "Geng's mansion is really a gate, and the people in the mansion are iron-clad, after all, it is different." But there is no way to do this, killing people pays for their lives, it is justified, not to mention that it is an official who kills 2,000 stones. It's just that what to do with the Geng family? He couldn't help but peek at Dou Gu, but saw Dou Gu squinting his eyes and his face expressionless.

Suddenly, the sound of "bang" footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer...... Dou Gu's heart moved, and he thought, "It's finally here." He opened his eyes, only to see Geng Ba being tied up tightly, and walked in expressionlessly, behind him were Geng Bing, Geng Gong and others, Dou Gu hurriedly stood up, walked down, and reprimanded: "Why are you so rude, dare to treat the old general like this, don't you know, the Geng family has made great contributions to my Han?" He went to untie the ropes on Geng Ba's body with his own hands.

Geng Ba tilted his head and said coldly: "If the matter is not clarified, how can it be loosened?" Please also ask the general to stop and put state affairs first! ”

Dou Gu was stunned for a moment, his heart was full of anger, and he secretly thought: "I don't know what to do!" Do you think Ben will really let you go? With a slight smile at the moment, he led Geng Ba to the front of the case, and said, "The old general refuses to loosen his ties, can he sit down?" ”

Geng Ba stood straight, snorted, and said, "How dare you sit down when you are guilty?" ”

Dou Gu smiled all over his face: "Guilty or not, there is a trial by Lord Zhang, the old general, the old general might as well sit down first, and see how Lord Zhang interrogates these three outlaws!" ”

Li Dang saw Geng Gong tied up with five flowers, standing at the bottom of the steps, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, ......"

Zhang Feng's mind was blank, and he said in his heart: "I stabbed such a big Lou Zi, how can I see my brother again?" He opened his mouth, but could not speak. Geng Gong watched the three of them being beaten to pieces, distressed and angry, but helpless. All this is a hundred times more difficult than Shoushule back then, what can he do?

The guards escorted Ma Liao, Ma Fang, Ma Guang and others, but Dou Gu pretended not to see them. Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Chang's forehead, he knew that the Geng family was a hero, the Ma family was a relative, and they were not easy to mess with, but Dou Gu was not a good character! Besides, if it weren't for Dou Gu, how could he sit in the position of court captain? He frowned, gritted his teeth, and arched his hand downward: "Offended." Immediately after a few shots, he shouted: "Serving the big punishment!" ”

Several guards brought a bronze pillar and erected it horizontally, with a burning charcoal underneath, and in a short time the copper pillar burned red. Zhang Chang smiled and said, "Li Kang, do you see it?" This is a cannon burning punishment, and this official wants to see if your bones are really hard or false! If you can walk over the bronze pillar, hehe, this official will spare you death! Otherwise, hurry up and recruit it, who killed Lord Wang? And who instigated it? ”

Geng Gong was taken aback, this copper pillar was burned red, how could he get by? If you are not careful, you will fall into the fire and you will be burned to ashes in an instant. The smell of charcoal fire was wafting around, and Li Dang smiled: "When Lao Tzu was in the Western Regions, he didn't frown at all in the face of the 100,000 Xiongnu army, what is this broken pillar!" He struggled to his feet, staggered, and walked toward the bronze pillar.

Zhang Feng and Yang Wu shouted loudly: "Brother Dare, don't go to ......" Li Dang stood up and said miserably: "Zhang Feng, Yang Wu, follow my brother well, don't make trouble in the future, go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, help me kill a few more, and come to the grave to pay tribute to my ......"

Zhang Feng got up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, wept incessantly, and begged: "Lord Zhang, it was me who killed Wang Kang, it has nothing to do with Li Kang, you know everything, let Li Kang go, kill me......" and turned to Dou Gu and said: "General Dou, the villain followed you to fight in the Western Regions before, there is no merit, there is also hard work, you look at this face, let go of Li Kang, kill me, okay?" ”

Li Dang said angrily: "Zhang Feng, stand up!" Don't kneel them! They don't have a good thing! He glared at Liu Zhang fiercely, and said sharply: "White-bearded old man, this is all a conspiracy made by you, hmph, I Li dare to die, and I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" ”

Liu Zhang's heart sank, took a step back, and it was difficult to speak.

Li Kang has climbed the copper pillar! The main hall was silent, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at this tragic scene.

"Wait!" Suddenly, with a loud shout, a person in Geng's family walked out slowly, and said word by word: "Let them go, kill Yin Wangkang of Luoyang Mansion, I am the mastermind!" ”21
