Chapter 87: Zhang Feng's Death (I)
As soon as these words came out, like a thunderstorm on the ground, everyone was taken aback, and they all looked at Geng Gong. Geng Bing lost his voice and said, "Brother, you, how can you do this...... If you miss Li Kang, don't you want to think about the Geng family......"
Dou Gu, Zhang Chang, and Liu Zhang were overjoyed, and even Ma Fang was secretly happy, thinking: "This Geng family is in a catastrophe!" But what about me......" Ma Fang was full of joy and sorrow, and a trace of regret flashed, and he sighed in his heart: "My father died at the hands of the Geng family, but I can't take revenge with my own hands......"
With a "bang", Li Dang fell down from the copper pillar, his eyebrows and beard were messed up, covered with dust, his face was full of tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "No! Brother, this has nothing to do with you! Wang Kang was killed by me, don't you take this charge for me! ”
Geng Gong shook his head, stared at Zhang Chang tightly, and said, "Lord Tingwei, this matter has nothing to do with them, if you let them go, I will tell you why they were instructed to kill Fu Yin!" ”
Zhang Chang laughed, shook the dust and fell, slapped the table suddenly, and said sharply: "This official expected that this matter would not be so simple!" Geng Gong, killing pays for life, this is an iron law, do you know? ”
Geng Gong said proudly: "The husband dares to do it, you let them go!" The charcoal fire shone brightly on his resolute face. Fan Qiang, Yang Yan, Li Kang, Zhang Feng, and Yang Wu burst into tears and looked at Geng Gong sadly, they never expected that Geng Gong would be desperate and come forward! Their hearts are full of gratitude and admiration!
Zhang Chang said with a smile: "Geng Gong, you went to the Western Regions with General Dou and made great achievements, and the official also heard about it and admired it very much, and the Geng family is a meritorious family, as long as you tell the truth, the official will let them go, even Li Kang, and he can be spared death!" ”
At this time, a sharp and thin voice sounded: "The emperor has arrived!" Dou Gu was taken aback and faintly uneasy: "Your Majesty, why is he, he, and him here?" Hurriedly got up, led everyone, bent down and bowed his head: "Welcome to the emperor!" ”
Emperor Zhang waved his hand, sat down on the side, and said, "Zhang Chang, continue the trial, I passed by here, so I will come and see." When he heard that Yin Wang Kang of Luoyang Mansion was stabbed to death, Long Yan was furious, and Wang Kang was transferred from the court order to Yin of Luoyang Mansion, which was the first chess piece he laid out. However, the piece was captured for no apparent reason. Moreover, it was Geng Gong who ate the chess pieces, why wasn't Emperor Zhang angry?
Zhang Chang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to interrogate. After a while, Fang said: "Emperor Qi, this case has come to light, it was Li Kang who killed Wang Fu Yin, but it was Geng Gong who was the mastermind behind it." ”
Emperor Zhang sighed lightly and asked, "Is there any evidence or physical evidence in this matter?" Zhang Chang was stunned, in fact, who is the real murderer has not yet been investigated. He originally thought that when these people were taken to prison, they were slowly tortured, and they were tortured carefully, so that he could find evidence, but he didn't expect Emperor Zhang to be caught off guard and suddenly come to Luoyang Mansion.
Zhang Chang looked at Dou Gu, Dou Gu was expressionless, tilted his head slightly, Zhang Chang was disappointed, squeaked a few times, and said: "Your Majesty, this, this, this haven't had time to ask ......."
Emperor Zhang Longyan was furious: "Since there is no one, what dare you say!" Who is Geng Gong? Will he make people kill Wang Kang? If you really want to instruct, how good it is to find an assassin, why do you need Li Kang, Zhang Feng, and Yang Wu? What's more, these people are brave and unscrupulous! ”
A series of questions, overwhelming, Zhang Chang was speechless, and the Han was confused. Emperor Zhang sneered again: "Hmph, the punishment of cannon branding, Zhang Chang, you are so bold!" Could it be that you are more than the king of Shang? ”
Zhang Chang was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, hurriedly got up and left his seat, took off his hat, bowed to the ground, and said: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The emperor forgives the sins! ”
Dou Gu sighed in his heart, a good game of chess, played scattered, fortunately he always wins, but he doesn't have to worry, in front of everyone, he doesn't want to be so embarrassed, so he said: "The emperor is angry!" Geng Gong said in person that he instructed Li Kang and others to kill Wang Kang, but Zhang Tingwei did not torture him. Besides, Wang Fu Yin was killed, and the murderer was a person from Geng's Mansion, this is a conclusive thing, no matter what, Geng Mansion must bear the crime of negligence, just like Lord Huangmen Langma is derelict in his duties! ”
These words are to the point, and it is what Dou Gu said, Emperor Zhang is inconvenient to refute, he just wants to rescue Geng Gong, as for Li Kang, Zhang Feng, and Yang Wu, even if they are all killed, he will not take it to heart.
At this time, Wang Kang's wives and concubines all knelt down, crying and crying: "Please be the emperor, please be the emperor......
Emperor Zhang's face sank, and he said: "Killing people pays for their lives, it has been the case since ancient times, so you don't have to worry!" He clapped his hand, Yu L Jun brought in a few people, and Emperor Zhang asked in a harmonious voice: "Have you ever seen the death of Wang Fu Yin?" ”
These people saw that the hall was full of soldiers, Emperor Zhang was dressed in a dragon robe, very mighty, he couldn't help but have weak legs and feet, he was very nervous, trembling, he didn't say anything for a long time, one was a little bolder, kowtowed: "Long live the emperor, the emperor!" The grass people were there, just in time to see it! Dou Gu was shocked: "After Wang Kang was killed, the onlookers were afraid, and they dispersed in an instant. How did the emperor find them? ”
So, the common man told how Wang Kang's guards whipped passers-by, how they angered Li Kang and others, and how Li Kang and others killed the blue wolf and Wang Kang. Emperor Zhang said coldly: "Lord Tingwei, can you hear clearly? ”
Zhang Chang has nothing to say, only to keep kowtowing. Dou Gu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know where Geng Gong was at that time?" ”
"Geng Duwei is in Ganquan Palace, the mourning family can testify!" A person walked slowly, as beautiful as a pear blossom, it was the Queen Mother. Emperor Zhang hurriedly got up and said, "How dare you bother the queen mother in this matter?" He looked at Dou Gu, then at Zhang Chang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "General Dou, this matter is handed over to you." I also tell you one thing, today I went hunting, and Ma Liao, Ma Fang, and Ma Guang all went with me! After Emperor Zhang finished speaking, the dragon's eyes closed slightly.
Dou Gu was shocked, he didn't expect that all this would become a mess that can't be cleaned up now! And the emperor didn't give himself any face, he was furious in his heart, and secretly thought: "When the first emperor died, Wang Zheng of the East China Sea was eyeing the tiger, coveting the artifact, and ready to move, if I hadn't abandoned the good situation in the Western Regions, led troops into the capital, choked the palace gate, and drove away Wang Zheng of the East China Sea, how could he sit on this dragon chair?" ”21
