Chapter 22: Qu Hao's Trial

Qu Hao felt very aggrieved. As a dignified special soldier, he has never beaten this group of soldiers with primitive weapons. I saw that his face was muddy, his whole body was dirty, he was tied up and escorted into the city, and he walked through the city gate where he passed with Meng Yao last time, and the treatment and feeling were really different.

Last time, it was light and gentle, and the look was elegant, but this time it was unkempt and stomped and the rain hit the pear blossoms; Last time, it was accompanied by beautiful women and was full of energy, but now it is Chu prisoners crying and faltering, Qu Hao couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, the mud on Qu Hao's body has a natural protective effect on him, because he can't see his true face.

Qu Hao was taken into a lobby and saw two rows of soldiers with spears standing on both sides of the lobby, and in the middle of the front of the hall was a large wooden platform half a person tall, and a person who looked like an official was standing behind the wooden platform, and next to this official, there was a person he was very familiar with---- Wu Rong.

"Get on your knees." The officer drank.

Qu Hao pretended to be stupid and was unwilling to kneel. At this time, a soldier came up and kicked his left calf from behind, Qu Hao's left leg was forced to kneel forward, but his right leg bent forward and refused to kneel. Then another soldier came up and kicked him in the shin from behind, and then he fell to his knees. But Qu Hao struggled to stand up, and was held down by the two soldiers on his left and right shoulders respectively, making him unable to move.

The official began to speak: "Who's in the hall?" Registered? ”

Qu Hao replied: "The eldest husband will not change his name and sit without changing his surname, Qu Hao."

"Where's the people? What are you doing here? The officer asked again.

"The villain is from overseas and wants to do some small business here to make a living." Qu Hao replied, thinking that the answer was that there were too many loopholes for locals, and it was better to say that they came from overseas.

"Someone has reported that you are a spy and have killed the boatmen here." The official said.

"Adults know clearly, villains are wronged." Qu Hao said.

"When death is on the verge of death, I still want to deny it. Someone, bring the whistleblower to the court. The official scolded.

Then a person came up, and Qu Hao looked sideways, it was Wang Xiaoqi who had been tied to the bow of the boat by him.

"The person who came reported his name," the official told Mr. Wang.

"Adult, the little one is called Wang Xiaoqi." Wang Xiaoqi knelt down and said.

"Why do you report it?" The official asked Wang Xiaoqi.

"My lord, two hours ago, the villain saw this person sitting on the ferry boat walking back and forth without going ashore, so he took a closer look at him and found that he was the murderer who killed my brother Wang Xiaowu a few days ago." Wang Xiaoqi pointed at Qu Hao and said viciously.

When Qu Hao heard this, he realized that this guy had discovered him, and he didn't recognize him when he was cruising on the boat.

"Why did this person kill your brother Wang Xiaowu?" The official asked.

"This person killed people because they were worried that we would report him as a spy." Wang Xiaoqi said.

"Wang Xiaoqi, why is this person worried that you will report him as a spy?" The officer asked again.

"Because this man was with a woman, and he was a foreigner, and it was the same as the arrest warrant on the city wall, so our two brothers suspected that the two of them were spies, and when he knew of our suspicions, he killed them." Wang Xiaoqi said.

"What evidence do you have that you say he killed someone?" The officer asked further.

"This man killed my brother with a white sword, and pierced my brother's head from the bottom of the boat." Wang Xiaoqi said this and cried.

The official was holding Qu Hao's copper flute, but he obviously wouldn't open the button of the sword, and the sword couldn't be drawn, and he only saw something silver in the hole in the copper flute.

"In addition to the sword, what other murder weapon does the perpetrator have?" The official asked. Because he couldn't show the sword, he had to change the topic of physical evidence of the sword.

"In addition to the murder weapon of the sword, he also has a yellow brass pipe." Wang Xiaoqi said.

"Is it this yellow brass pipe?" After the official showed it, the copper flute said.

"Yes. This person also hit my calf with this brass pipe, and I still have a calf injury. Wang Xiaoqi said, taking off the strap on his right leg, revealing an oblique cyan scar.

"Now that the human and physical evidence are there, Qu Hao, what do you have to say?" The official said.

"The villain is wronged. First, I don't know this whistleblower, let alone kill any of his brothers; The second is that he doesn't have a white sword. Yes, this brass pipe belongs to me, it is my self-defense, and there is no sword. Sanze himself has always been a loner, and there has never been a woman to follow. Qu Hao argued.

"It's nonsense, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Someone comes, push this man out and behead him. The official was furious and ordered.

When Qu Hao heard it, this game is over, the ancient trial is so sloppy?

At this time, he saw Wu Rong approaching the official and said softly, "Slow, my lord." ”

"Lord County Yin, this person is very likely to be the spy who killed the two post soldiers, Da Sima personally ordered to capture him alive for trial, and now kill him Da Sima will definitely blame you." Wu Rong whispered to the official.

"Well, what do you say?" The trial officer, who Wu Rong called the county Yin, said.

"Even if it is true, what Wang Xiaoqi reported is not as serious as killing the post soldiers, and besides, Da Sima's personal trial may be to dig out which country's spies are and what his intentions are. So simply send this person to Liuhe and hand it over to Da Sima for trial, and Wang Xiaoqi can also go with him and deal with the case, so that Da Sima will not only not blame you, but will also reward you according to the chapter. Wu Rong said.

When the county Yin heard it, it made sense, and said to Qu Hao: "You won't kill you if it's cheap today." But if you still have such a hard mouth when you arrive at Liuhe, Da Sima will divide your five horses. ”

As he spoke, he gave an order: "Come, tie this man well, prepare the boat, escort him to Liuhe, and go with the witnesses and the witnesses, and there shall be no mistake." Retire. ”

At this time, the two soldiers who pressed Qu Hao pulled Qu Hao up, and Qu Hao's knees ached.

Wu Rong also withdrew from it, only to see that he didn't have any expression, as if he didn't know him at all.

Qu Hao was taken out. Wang Xiaoqi also followed, and after going out, he kicked Qu Hao's ass fiercely, and was stopped by the soldiers when he was about to kick again.

Qu Hao stared at Wang Xiaoqi and thought: I was too kind at that time, and I believed what he said that he just wanted to extort a little money, and he didn't mean to kill him. If he had been cut down at that time, how could there be today's passive situation?

Because they had to prepare the boat and arrange the escort soldiers, and it was just close to noon, Qu Hao and Wang Xiaoqi waited for almost an hour at the riverbank wharf.

Go to Liuhe, what is the fate of Qu Hao? Qu Hao knows very well in his heart that the only thing he can do now is to act on the opportunity, as for what kind of opportunity? He was at a loss.
