Chapter 306: Guilty Plea (3)
"The war is imminent, as the commander of the garrison, he left the barracks without permission, what should he be guilty of? As a courtier, but he rescued the thief who assassinated the lord, what crime should he be? What is the crime of betraying someone's trust in you? ”
"The three crimes should be punished together, and the law should be corrected on the spot, Zhang Liao, if it is triggered like this, do you have any complaints?!"
After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, Cao Cao said angrily.
Co-author Zhang Liao is interesting enough for Lu Bu, but is it interesting enough for a certain lord?
At this moment, Cao Cao's mood didn't know how to describe it. Who likes loyal and righteous people, but Zhang Liao's loyalty is against Lu Bu, he Cao Cao, as Zhang Liao's current lord, is in a good mood!
Therefore, at this moment, Cao Cao really wanted to kill Zhang Liao!
Zhang Liao crouched at the bottom of the stairs, and sighed in his heart: "The lord won't really want to kill me, right?" ”
Although it is said that Zhang Liao was ready when he came back to ask for guilt, he had already calculated in his heart that he would not escape the blame for Zhang Liao's crime this time, but with the current situation of the lord, most of them would make him Zhang Liao guilty and make meritorious contributions. The chance of a capital offense is very small.
But now, Zhang Liao couldn't refute it, so he had to bow his head and confess: "Sin will deserve death, and there is no complaint!" ”
Zhang Liao accepted the trigger of the Fa-rectification on the spot, but there was silence in the big tent. Cao Cao did not call the guards to push Zhang Liao out and behead him, nor did he say that Zhang Liao's crimes could be reduced or anything. Of course, there was no one in the big tent who interceded with Zhang Liao.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Liao would be beheaded by the lord at this time, and most of the other generals in the big tent would intercede for him. But in the big tent at this time, whether it was Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan or others, they were all silent, and no one came out to intercede for Zhang Liao.
In the eyes of Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao should be beheaded for public display. As a general, I don't think about how to serve the lord, not to mention, a few days ago, I did things inside and outside, such a general, I am innocent!
……
In silence, Cao Cao looked left and right.
"Why didn't anyone intercede for Zhang Liao?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled.
Although Zhang Liao's behavior made Boss Cao very angry, and he wanted to kill him. However, if he really killed Zhang Liao like this, Cao Cao was a little reluctant. What's more, it's still the time to employ people.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, what did he Cao Cao think, thinking that Xun Yu knew best.
Sure enough, after receiving the boss's eyes, Xun Yu came out and begged: "Lord, General Wenyuan should be beheaded according to the crime, but now the war is imminent, our army is at the time of employing people, at this time, it is not good for us to behead, please think twice!" ”
Seeing Xun Yu come out to plead, Xiahou Yuan and the others were very surprised. In other words, Zhang Liao disrupted your Xun Yu's layout that night, and if you don't agree with the lord to punish Zhang Liao severely, why do you still intercede for him?
However, not all of the generals in the big tent are in arrears of IQ.
Thinking that after the lord convicted Zhang Liao just now, there was a short silence in the big tent, and the lord did not push Zhang Liao out and behead him at the first time; And now, after Xun Yu pleaded, the lord was noncommittal.
Soon, someone thought that this was the lord "allowing" someone to intercede with Zhang Liao!
"What Mr. Wen Ruo said is right, please think twice!" Yu Ban and Le Jin came out one after another, and pleaded with Zhang Liao.
Then, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren brothers also came out to intercede.
At this time, even Xiahoudun, who couldn't turn his head, knew that the lord didn't want to kill Zhang Liao.
Seeing that everyone pleaded for Zhang Liao, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Finally, I didn't get rid of it!" ”
"Well, for the sake of Wen Ruo and the others interceding for you, you can be exempted from the death penalty of Zhang Liao."
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!"
"Fifty canes, demoted to a pawn in the vanguard battalion, and meritorious service in front of the army!"
At the bottom of the stairs, Zhang Liao, who was lying on the ground, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Just now, he thought that the lord really wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was similar to what he Zhang Liao expected, and he changed from a capital crime to a living crime.
In fact, the fifty spine staff is a small meaning to the military generals of the Ning Gang Realm. As for being demoted to a creep, this is just a stopgap measure. The lord wants to reuse him Zhang Liao, even if he Zhang Liao is a small soldier, he can be promoted quickly.
"Thank you lord, it is difficult for the guilty minister to repay the lord's great kindness!" Zhang Liao bowed his head and thanked him.
……
Kaifeng, in the guest house.
After Zhang Liao left, Lu Qiling immediately instructed the maid: "Go hire an ox cart, let's leave Kaifeng County!" ”
Seriously injured and bleeding profusely, Lu Qiling should not act rashly at this time. However, when Zhang Liao left, Lu Qiling instantly felt that Kaifeng County was not very safe, and she had to leave Kaifeng County immediately.
It's not that she's worried about her uncle Zhang Liao's informant.
If Uncle Zhang Liao wanted to harm her Lu Qiling, he would not risk his life to save her that day.
So, where does this danger come from?
In fact, this danger was brought by Zhang Liao.
In other words, if Zhang Liao did not return to the Guandu camp to plead guilty, it would be difficult for Cao Jun to discover her Lu Qiling's whereabouts in a short period of time. However, after Zhang Liao returned to the camp to plead guilty, her Lu Qiling's whereabouts would be immediately exposed.
This is not Zhang Liao's informant, but Cao Jun will trace Zhang Liao's route back to the camp, so as to find Kaifeng.
Don't think that after Uncle Zhang Liao returns to Guandu to plead guilty, Cao Cao will not track her down Lu Qiling!
Therefore, this Kaifeng County, this inn, has actually been exposed.
It has been two years since I followed Mr. Kong Ming, and Lu Qiling still has this IQ inference.
Soon, Yamei asked the innkeeper to hire an ox cart, and Yamei also cleaned up Lu Qiling.
Money and medicine can be taken away with a burden.
Under the puzzled eyes of the innkeeper, Lu Qiling and Yamei got into the ox cart.
Then, the ox cart went all the way to the south and went directly out of Kaifeng County from the south gate.
……
In the evening, before the city gate was closed, a team of knights went straight to Kaifeng County. After handing over to the captain of the gate, the knights headed straight for the city. Half an hour later, led by an informant, the team of knights went straight to the inn.
"Team A blocks the front and back doors, Team B blocks the windows, and the others have good crossbows, search for me!" The captain who led the team was assigned loudly. He himself sat in the lobby downstairs, and only let his subordinates search the inn.
In an instant, the inn was a chicken, a dog jumping, and I don't know how many wild mandarin ducks were found.
Soon, a soldier came down to report: "General, all the searches have been made, but no assassins have been found." ”
"However, in one of the guest rooms, we found bloodstains, as well as women's belongings, and some drug residues."
The lieutenant bowed his head and said, "That's right, the assassin has been in this inn!" ”
Then the lieutenant walked over to the shopkeeper who was huddled in a corner, shivering. "A few days ago, a woman was seriously injured, but she was recuperating in your inn. Now, tell General Ben, where is this woman? ”
They tracked down the assassins, almost in the direction of Zhang Liao's return to Guandu, and they did not delay for a moment. It stands to reason that the female assassin should still be recuperating in this inn now, and it is impossible to know the news in advance. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
