Chapter 444: "Books Can Kill"

Since meeting Yang Feng, the Holy Army Master has become sluggish, and he did not say a word when he was interrogated, and he no longer hummed obscene songs when he returned to prison, as if he had accepted his fate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There was no news in the prison, and it was only after Yun Mengze was breached for many days that he heard the news from Jin Chunzhong.

Kim Chun-chung did not interrogate him, but came to the prison in person, so that the conversation would not be recorded.

"Luan Banxiong has been escorted to the capital, and you will be able to see him soon, probably on the execution ground." Kim Chun-chung got straight to the point.

The Holy Army Master was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I want to see the emperor." ”

The last time he made such a request in front of Yang Feng, Jin Chunzhong shook his head, "You don't have this qualification." ”

"Where's Luan Banxiong? Is he eligible? ”

Jin Chunzhong didn't answer, "I want to talk to you about Chun Yuxiao." ”

"Luan Banxiong recruited everything?"

Jin Chunzhong nodded, he was here for interrogation, and he didn't want to reveal other information.

The Holy Army Master pondered for a long time and sighed, "How many people have died for the sake of a book, is the art of looking at qi really deceitful?" ”

Jin Chunzhong didn't squeak, and he had a premonition that the Holy Army Master was finally going to tell the truth.

A smile appeared on the scarred face of the Holy Army Master, and he licked his lips, "It's been a long time since I've been drinking, bring a little next time, the Qi Seeker is all begging for a living with this mouth, you come empty-handed, I can't speak." ”

"You are a prisoner of the imperial court, I can't come if I want to."

"That's your problem." As soon as the Holy Army Master talked about wine, his mouth was full of relish, "Since you brought wine, let's bring some more meat, roast chicken and sauce elbow are the best." ”

"You at least have something to say first."

The Holy Army Master lay on the mat, "Don't worry, it's been delaying for so long anyway." ”

The Holy Army Master was hard-boned, and the torture was useless to him, so Jin Chunzhong had no choice but to say, "I will come back as soon as possible." ”

"Be generous next time!"

In a formal interrogation, the government must have at least three people present, one person presiding over the trial, one person executing, and one person recording it.

Jin Chunzhong came to see the prisoner alone, in fact, it was very unruly, and it was all because of the identity of the emperor's cronies and Xuanyi's envoy that the prison guards could turn a blind eye.

It's a bit too much to bring meat and wine into it.

Jin Chunzhong didn't want to oppress the emperor because of this trivial matter, so he paid for it, bought rich wine and food, and feasted the prison officials and jailers in prison to show his gratitude, and then left halfway, carrying a pot of wine and a plate of stewed meat, to see the Holy Army.

The prison guards are happy to give a favor.

From afar, the Holy Army Master shouted, "Smell it, smell it, bring it quickly!" ”

The Holy Army Master sat cross-legged, straightened out the shackles on his hands and feet, and didn't use a cup, picked up the wine jug and poured it first, grabbed half a roast chicken, and bit it down fiercely.

Like a whirlwind, the Holy Army Master ate the wine and meat, and burped, "It's still not generous enough, you just do things for the emperor?" ”

"The emperor's money can also be saved."

The Holy Army Master laughed, "You kid is very interesting, every time you interrogate, you are not as ruthless as other officials. ”

The Xuanyi Envoy is not an official position of the imperial court, but a temporary title, and most of the time Jin Chunzhong is only an observer, of course, he doesn't need to be too ruthless.

"Drink and drink, eat and eat, you should say something."

The Holy Army Master put away his smile, "Of course, I won't lie to you about your wine and meat. Let me think about where to start...... Chun Yu Xiao is a book. ”

"Well, Luan Banxiong has already said it."

"Did he tell him where the book came from?"

"He got the book from you, and nothing else."

"He doesn't know, there are very few people who know the origin of this book, and I am one of them."

The book is nameless, the author calls himself "Chun Yu Xiao" in the book, and in the process of passing the book, the hopeful person calls it "Chun Yu Zi" and "Chun Yu Xiao".

This book was originally circulated in the Qilu area, and very few people saw it, and it was not taken seriously, and it was regarded as a strange theory, until a person who wanted to get this book, and after reading it deeply, he was quite inspired, and he put what he learned into practice, and entered and exited the princes' houses.

This famous person changed his name to Chun Yuxiao, accepted many disciples, and in the name of teaching the art of Wangqi, he selected excellent ones to give the content of the book, but kept the book itself secret, and only showed it to a very small number of proud disciples.

After the death of Chun Yu Xiao, his disciples blossomed everywhere, often calling themselves by this name, deliberately creating chaos, which is one of the methods taught in the book.

Lin Kunshan and others belong to the third and fourth generations of disciples, they only know their skills, they don't know their books, they really believe that Chun Yuxiao does have his people, and the holy military master is a disciple of the lineage, and he has always treasured this book until he went to see Luan Banxiong, in order to win his trust, he handed over the book and accepted Luan Banxiong as a disciple.

"What exactly is written in the book?" Jin Chunzhong asked.

"The court caught Luan Banxiong, didn't you get the book?"

The book was in Yang Feng's hands, and he hadn't come back yet, and Jin Chunzhong still didn't answer, "Would you rather give the book to a robber than to the imperial court?" ”

"Haha, don't you understand? My Lord Kim, that's a book about rebellion, how can it be handed over to the government? ”

Jin Chunzhong was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that there was such a book in the world, "Just because of a book, you are going to rebel?" ”

The Holy Army Master was silent for a while, and then asked rhetorically, "If you get a treasure knife that is said to sharpen iron like clay, do you want to find a piece of iron and try it?" ”

"Rebellion and the sword are two different things."

"Two different things? Since the current emperor came to power, he is especially greedy for power, and almost everything is in his own hands, why? Imperial power is a treasure knife, he has coveted it for a long time, and after finally getting it, he naturally wants to try the knife, and he has to chop everywhere, the better the effect, the more he has to find hard iron and try again. The reason for our rebellion is similar. ”

The more the Holy Army Master spoke, the more rude he became, and Jin Chunzhong snorted, "You are not allowed to compare yourself with Your Majesty." ”

"Haha, what a loyal servant. Forget it, I'm too lazy to convince you. This time, the wine and meat are average, and the next time I will bring it. ”

"Next time?"

"I'm tired, I'll have to sleep when I've eaten and drunk, and I'll tell you about the writer next time."

The Holy Army Division fell asleep.

Jin Chunzhong couldn't, so he packed up the empty pot and empty plate and left.

When the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs interrogated Luan Banxiong, Jin Chunzhong needed to be present, so he could only go to see the Holy Army Division again after a day.

Since meeting the emperor, Luan Banxiong has never opened his mouth, not admitting or denying all the accusations, looking like life and death. Yun Mengze rebelled openly, and he didn't need too many confessions, the criminal department just went through the motions and forced it laxly.

The Holy Army Master opened the conversation, and as soon as he saw Jin Chunzhong, he said, "Why did you come?" I was ready to speak, and I could only say it to the wall. ”

The Holy Army Master spoke while eating and drinking.

Who wrote this book? When was it written? Is Chun Yu Xiao a real name or a fake name? Unbeknownst to anyone, a few of us in the know used a lot of power to find the truth, and finally came to two diametrically opposed conclusions. ”

One conclusion is that the book "Chun Yuzi" was written at the beginning of the Great Chu Dingding, because it mentions a lot of the disadvantages of the previous dynasty and the tripartite struggle for hegemony of Chu, Qi, and Zhao, and the latter is the main basis for discussing the "rebellion": Han Fu is an outlaw, Zhuang Chui is a tycoon, and Chen Lun is a descendant of a family.

Another conclusion is that the book was written in modern times, and the author may still be alive, and he deliberately did not mention contemporary events, precisely in order to hide people's eyes, there is an article in the book, "Strong and Weak", which is dedicated to how the most powerful emperor seems to be full of loopholes, without mentioning specific characters, but it looks like he is talking about Emperor Wu.

Neither of the two conclusions can convince the other, the Holy Army Division is the latter faction, after the death of Emperor Wu, the Great Chu declined sharply, in his opinion, it is the situation predicted in the "Strength and Weakness" chapter.

"'The strong seek rigidity, and rigidity is easy to break', when encountering a mediocre emperor, Da Chu will slowly become stronger, and then slowly decline, and when he encounters an emperor like Emperor Wu, he will prosper quickly and lose quickly. The courtiers of Emperor Wu's dynasty were all wise and self-protective, and they didn't like to take care of things, which proved to be the case. ”

Jin Chunzhong sneered, "But you still failed, and you were defeated." ”

"Once defeated, there are not many Qi Seekers left, otherwise, even if you die, I will not tell you this." The Saint Army Master sighed and lay down again, leaving a small half pot of wine to drink.

Jin Chunzhong packed up his things, "Luan Banxiong claimed that 'books can kill', and he set a trap for Yang Gong in the book. ”

"I'll talk about it another day, I'm not in the mood right now."

Jin Chunzhong did not force it, and like the emperor, he did not believe that Yang Feng would be fooled.

In the next few days, Jin Chunzhong was very busy, staying in the criminal department almost every day, observing one verdict after another.

Assassination and rebellion are both unpardonable felonies, and hundreds of people were executed for betrayal, the first offender, Luan Banxiong, was executed ten days later, and the holy army division and other important criminals were also executed on the same day, and the rest were executed according to the normal procedure.

The Yunmengze bandits are about to disappear, and the focus of the imperial court has shifted to how to manage the swamp so that it does not become a hiding place for bandits again.

The day after the emperor returned to the palace from the hunting grounds, Jin Chunzhong vacated his time and went to see the holy army master with wine and meat.

The Holy Army Master was in a good mood, applauding and welcome, the chains were rattling, eating and drinking, and even invited Jin Chunzhong to join.

Jin Chunzhong politely refused, "I've eaten it." ”

"Well, you have a lot of days to eat and drink anyway." The Holy Army Master chewed slowly this time, and after eating, he pushed the cup and plate away, "Where there are books, there are people who write books, and until now, I also believe that the writers are still alive." Luan Banxiong probably wanted to use this trick to trick Yang Feng into finding the writer. ”

The Holy Army Master stretched his waist, and he didn't plan to make a tirade today, "Yang Feng won't be fooled, maybe he knows more about this book than I do." ”

"What do you mean?" Jin Chunzhong sensed that there was something in the words of the Holy Army Master.

"According to the methods recorded in the book "Chun Yuzi", we lobbied the princes, ministers and robbers, and almost succeeded step by step, but when it came to the step of rebellion, we failed. You can say that we are unlucky, or you can say that the current emperor is unexpected, and if he had not been emperor, we would probably have succeeded. ”

The Holy Army Master clutched the chains tightly, and the expression on his face was still unwilling, "The luck of the Qi Hopeful is not good, and the current emperor is in power, and it is related to the same person. ”

"Yang Gong?" Jin Chunzhong was both surprised and ridiculous, "Do you want to say that Yang Gong is the author of "Chun Yuzi"? ”

"Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Yang Feng knows so much about the Qi Seeker, and he is the only one in the court who is staring at us, and the emperor's ascension to the throne has a lot to do with him. I am more and more convinced that he is the real chess player, and that we and the emperor are his pawns. I wonder one thing, who is Yang Feng playing against? ”

"Thank you for your wine and meat, I can die safely, if you have the heart, maybe you will keep an eye on Yang Feng for us."

The Holy Army Master fell, and never spoke again.

Jin Chunzhong was at a loss, not understanding whether the Holy Army Master was telling the truth, or was he using the style of the hopeful to "follow the trend", and casually made up a story to cleverly lure himself to clean up Yang Feng?

Perhaps this is the original meaning of "books can kill". (To be continued.) )
