After the group entered the Chongyun Temple, Zhanye was about to Liu Enzai, Qu Shun and others introduced Dong Xian one by one. Looking at Chen Dahua, who helped Qu Shun change the dressing, and Li Jun, who was snuggled up to Yao Ping's side, Dong Xian turned to Yao Ping and asked, "Yao Ping, are you going to Guanwai?" ”

"Going to Guanwai?" Yao Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said puzzledly, "My lord, we don't plan to go to Guanwai, but we plan to go to Tianquan Prefecture." I don't know why adults ask that? ”

"Now the imperial court is guiding the people of Shaoguang Prefecture, who have lost their land, to go to the Khaldo area to reclaim their land, and I don't know if I want to come to the righteous people?" Dong Xian asked.

"There is such a thing. The little people don't know. Yao Ping said.

"Your Excellency." At this time, an attendant behind Dong Xian suddenly walked in and Dong Xian whispered, "My lord, it seems that Xia Guan has seen the wanted portrait of this person somewhere." ”

Hearing what the entourage behind Dong Xian said, Yao Ping was suddenly startled, and he was immediately a little overwhelmed by the fright. Only then did Yao Ping realize that he was too negligent, and as a wanted criminal, he shouldn't be too conspicuous in front of these officials.

Looking at Yao Ping, who was at a loss and couldn't refute, Zhan Ye couldn't help but ask him in surprise, "Yao Ping, you.. Is it a wanted criminal? ”

"Your Excellency, you're mistaken." Qu Shun opened his mouth at this moment and said to the attendant, "My brother is an honest man, how can he be a wanted criminal." ”

Looking at Yao Ping, who had been silent for a long time and looked slightly flustered, Zhan Ye opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" Yao Ping, just say it. ”

"Lieutenant Zhan... To be honest, I don't know what's going on. Yao Ping raised his eyes and looked at Zhanye and said, "I, I was wronged." ”

"Don't be nervous, where have you been wronged and tell me more about it." Zhanye said, "With me here, no one dares to touch you." ”

After Yao Ping led him to Luochuan in detail and finished talking about these things in Luochuan, Dong Xian suddenly asked, "Yao Ping, the princess you are talking about is called Asana, but the princess of Kaldoshenva, right?" ”

"Yes, sir." Yao Ping said, "She is indeed the princess of Sinwa, do you know? ”

"This official is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and this matter is naturally under the control of this official." Dong Xian opened his mouth and said, "It's no wonder that the princess went to Luochuan without reporting to Yaoshan Pass or to the Sifang Pavilion, it turned out that she found you businessmen to be the guide and quietly went to Luochuan." ”

"Brother Dong, since you know the princess, do you know if my friend was wronged?" Zhan Ye asked Dong Xian.

"It's hard for me to say." Dong Xian said, "I only know that the princess presented me with a map of the Western Regions through the Gongzao Mansion, and the Kaldo couple of the Kaldo Hotel where she lived stole the map of the Yaoshan Pass. This case is complicated, and it is under the management of Dali Temple, and I don't know how the people in Dali Temple decided the case, and then concluded that this friend of yours is a spy. ”

"The people of Dali Temple must have misjudged.." Zhan Ye said, "Yao Ping Yishi once sacrificed himself to send a letter to my Linjian for help, he must not be the kind of villain who collaborates with the enemy and commits adultery. ”

Dong Xian looked at Yao Ping and continued to say to Zhanye, "Even if it is as you said, the fact that this righteous man is a wanted criminal has been decided. ”

"Brother Dong, is there any way to clear my brother's name?" Zhan Ye asked.

"If you want to clear Yao Ping's charges, the only way to do this is to let Marble re-investigate the case. But how could Dali Temple bother with these things for a civilian. Dong Xian said.

"My lord, is it... Can't my guilt be washed away? Yao Ping asked worriedly.

"Would you like to clear your name?" Dong Xian looked at Yao Ping and asked.

"Of course you want to, my lord." Yao Ping said, "Xiaomin still wants to live, and wants to get married and have children, I can't be a black household and live away from others for the rest of my life." ”

Dong Xian nodded, then looked at Zhan Ye and said, "He wants to clear his name, and you want to confess in a hurry." ”

Zhanye didn't speak.

Dong Xian looked at Yao Ping, then at Zhanye, and finally after his gaze swept over Liu Enzai, who was holding his sword and was silent, he slowly asked, "Brother Zhan, you and a few of your friends have gone through the battle of Linjian, and it can be regarded as a friend of life and death, right?" ”

Zhan Ye said to Dong Xian without hesitation, "Of course it is." ”

"Okay, let me ask you, whether Yao Ping was wronged or not, he is now a wanted criminal, if I want to arrest him on behalf of the imperial court now, then will you stop him?" Dong Xian asked.

Zhan Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother Dong, do you want to..."

"Let's talk about it first?" Dong Xian asked.

"Stop." Zhan Ye said ruthlessly.

"Why did you stop?"

"For righteousness, for the friendship of life and death, for friendship." Zhan Ye said.

Dong Xian nodded lightly and then said, "Okay, Brother Zhan, now you have not only committed the crime of losing the city and losing the land, but you have also committed the crime of shielding the prisoner and disobeying the imperial court." Are you willing to take all these sins to the county government together? ”

"Huh?" Zhan Ye was stunned for a moment and then said, "Brother Dong, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Nothing else." Dong Xian said, "It's just that as your brother, I am also for love." ”

Zhan Ye asked in surprise, "Brother Dong, what are you.... Stop me from turning myself in and confessing my guilt? ”

"At present, the empire is under siege on all sides, and it is in danger, and it is the time to employ people, Brother Zhan, to tell the truth, even if I am not for brotherhood, even if I think about the imperial court, then I really can't bear to see a young general like you reduced to a prisoner." Dong Xian said.

Zhan Ye looked at Dong Xian in a daze, and stopped talking.

Dong Xian continued, "Brother Zhan, I think you can not only disobey your brothers and friends, but also for the common people in the world, right?" ”

"Brother Dong, what do you mean..."

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to see you, your friends and soldiers and brothers be brave enough to contribute to the country, instead of huddled in this view and only thinking about your own little calculations." Dong Xian said.

"Brother Dong, if you have anything to say, just say it to me directly." Zhan Ye said.

"Brother Zhan, listen to these soldiers under your command, you have to confess your guilt." Dong Xian sighed and said, "The dignified deputy general of the Bai Ling Army, and Xi Lie, the Zhanye of the left and right against Ling, your outstanding skills and extraordinary tactical knowledge, it is a pity that you were demoted to a county lieutenant only because of party disputes, and now you have to be a criminal due to mob riots, which is really sad." ”

"Since I have lost the city and sinned, then I should confess it. I don't understand why you're always trying to dissuade me. Zhan Ye said, "If everyone breaks the law and doesn't recognize the law, then I'll not have the law of the country and be in chaos." ”

"Brother Zhan, what you said is good." Dong Xian said, "But now is an extraordinary period, and the current empire does not need one more prisoner, but needs one more general who can Jingbian, a general who can lead troops to fight and eliminate foreign enemies, and a good general who can bring peace to the people of one side." ”

"Your Excellency, you're right." Qu Shun suddenly opened his mouth at this time and said, "Lieutenant Zhan is the kind of good general you said." ”

Zhan Ye was silent for a moment, and then slowly said to Dong Xian, "Brother Dong, you say it makes sense... But..."

"Brother Zhan, there is nothing to do, you don't have to worry, if you intend to serve the country, your brother and I can mediate for you in the imperial court, so as to ensure that you can make meritorious contributions without violating the laws of the imperial court." Dong Xian said.

"Guilty of meritorious service?" Zhan Ye asked, "Brother Dong, can you make me guilty and make meritorious service?" ”

"Of course." Dong Xian smiled and said, "Have you forgotten who the governor of Yuheng Prefecture is?" ”

"Dong Huangang..." Zhan Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "Dong Huangang Prefecture Governor is yours..."

"It's my uncle." Dong Xian said.

"It turns out that he is your uncle, no wonder you are so sure..."Zhanye pondered for a moment and then said, "But... Even if I use the relationship of Dong Zhoudu, then I want to make meritorious contributions after losing the city and land... Then you have to go through the Imperial Court Criminal Law Office first. ”

"Of course, this one can't be bypassed. But the crime of losing the city and land should be punished by exile, and Brother Zhan must know it. Dong Xian said.

"I know it. If the defender loses the city, he should be exiled and exiled for 2,000 li, generally going to Kaiyang north, Tianji south, and Tianshu west. Zhanye said.

"However, you can also be exiled to Yuhengdong." Dong Xian smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will be the person under the command of Yuheng Prefecture, and when the time comes, how to use you, a traitor, it will be Yuheng's people who have the final say." ”

"I see." Zhan Ye shook his head and smiled, turned to look at Dong Xian and said, "This is not against the law, but also gives me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Brother Dong, it seems that I owe you a great favor." ”

"Brother Zhan is willing to serve the country, and I should also contribute to the country to find talents, you don't owe me any favors." Dong Xian said.

"Your Excellency!" At this time, Qu Shun, who was lying on the side, suddenly got up, he limped quickly to Dong Xian, fell to his knees, and said to him, "My lord! Since my lord has such a heavenly ability, I wonder if I can also let my wronged brother be proudly cleared of his crimes?! ”

"Jun.." Yao Ping suddenly saw Qu Shun kneeling down, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Righteous man, if you have something to say, please stand up and speak." Dong Xian said and went to Fu Qu Shun. But unexpectedly, Qu Shun couldn't afford to be stubborn, he looked up at Dong Xian and continued, "My lord, you must have a way to clear my brother and my brother's daughter-in-law." If the adults don't agree to help me and other small people, the small people will not be able to afford it today. Qu Shun said and kowtowed to Dong Xian again.

"What? And brother and daughter-in-law? Zhanye was also stunned.

"Master Dong, Lieutenant Zhan, Qu Shun is talking about this Li girl." Yao Ping immediately looked at Li Jun in embarrassment, and then told Dong Xian and Zhanye what happened to Li Jun again.

After listening to Yao Ping's story, Dong Xian shook his head on his forehead and said, "I really didn't expect that the two of you are important criminals in the imperial court. ”

"Your Excellency!" Qu Shun knelt down and said to Dong Xian, "My lord Mingjian, they were really wronged. ”

Zhan Ye looked at Qu Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Yao Ping and Li Jun, and then said to Dong Xian, "Brother Dong, these friends of mine are all loyal and honest people, I hope you can help them." Yao Pingyi also just wants to take their lover to buy land to live the life of the people, if you can clear the charge for the two of them, then they will not encounter obstacles when buying land and entering the household, and they will not be reported in the future. ”

Dong Xian pondered for a moment, then looked at Yao Ping and asked, "Yao Ping, do you want to be a farmer?" ”

Yao Ping and Qu Shun looked at each other, and without waiting for Yao Ping to speak, Qu Shun asked Dong Xian first, "My lord, if you can make us two petty officials, that's fine." ”

"Qu Shun, don't talk nonsense, it's hard for you to worship Dong Shaoqing as a god." Zhan Ye said to Qu Shun, "You get up first, Brother Dong, he will definitely help you find a way." ”

"I can't afford it, Lord Dong can help you, the county lieutenant, to make the decision, and he will definitely be able to make the decision for Yao Ping and Li Jun." Qu Shun said stubbornly.

Dong Xian shook his head and sighed, and then said, "Your sin is even greater and more serious than Zhanye's sin. Once the crime of collaborating with the enemy and committing adultery is convicted, you are actually no different from the thieves of Yuheng who colluded with the people of Yingzhou to loot the township. That's a crime that can be convicted without anyone's approval. ”

"My lord! You've got a way. Qu Shun knelt down and said before offering himself to Dong.

"If the adults are in trouble, the small people will not force the adults." Yao Ping also walked to Dong Xian and knelt down as he spoke.

"Yao Ping, why are you kneeling here?" Zhan Ye looked at Yao Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"I can't let my brother kneel on the ground for me alone." Yao Ping said.

As soon as Yao Ping's words fell, Li Jun and Chen Dahua also knelt down on both sides of Yao Ping and Qu Shun.

Looking at the kneeling four, Zhan Ye sighed and said to Dong Xian, "Brother Dong, it seems that you can't shirk it today." You can help these two friends. ”

"You're really embarrassed for me." Dong Xian held his forehead and pondered for a long time before he spoke, "There is also a way to help you clear your name, but it is not easy to do." ”

"Your Excellency, just say." Qu Shun opened his mouth and said, "As long as you don't want silver, you can do anything." ”

"Uh.." Dong Xian pondered and said, "In this way, Yao Ping and Li Jun, the two of you each handed over two Yingzhou warriors to the Imperial Court Criminal Law Mansion through the Yuheng Prefecture Prefecture as prisoners, and after the captives arrived at the Luochuan Criminal Law Mansion, I will go to help you mediate, and at that time, you may be used as a basis to capture the enemy, and you will be cleared of the charge of collaborating with the enemy." ”

"Boom." Qu Shun immediately kowtowed to Dong Xian, and then said repeatedly, "Thank you, my lord!" ”

After Zhanye and Dong Xian's four people thanked them one after another, Zhanye opened his mouth and asked Yao Ping and Li Jun, "I don't know what you plan?" ”

Yao Ping and Li Jun looked at each other, and then nodded to Zhanye and said, "Let's do what Master Dong said, and it just so happens that I will also find out the whereabouts of that knife all the way." ”

"Okay." Zhan Ye said, "Then let's continue to walk." ”
