Chapter 235: The Culprit Blames
Shamanagu finally returned at noon on the third day.
Yang Yi underestimated the Zhen people's understanding of the mountains and their experience in mountain warfare, and it only took one day for Shama Naigu to pull the people of Taohe out of the mountains.
When Yang Yi learned the news, he immediately announced to the entire Kangzhou City that after peace talks, the Di people had chosen to stop fighting, and war was absolutely impossible.
When the news spread, the people and generals of the whole city felt incredible, and there was no one here who did not know how difficult the Di people were to deal with, that is, a group of fierce beasts, and there were only a handful of people who could use words to calm the beasts for hundreds of years.
However, when Yang Yi personally led his troops out of the north gate and took the great leader of the Zhen tribe, Shama Naigu, into the city of Kangzhou, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, everyone was full of curiosity about their new commander.
The commander used a few puzzling military orders to wipe out the entire Connecticuts, and then he easily made the powerful Zheng clan put down the broadsword, which was really incredible.
When Shama Naigu followed Yang Yi into Kangzhou City, he only brought 100 pro-guard soldiers, in order to reassure Shama Naigu and to remind Yang Yi to be careful, Wuwei Daoist chose to stay in the Zhen military camp outside the city as hostages.
Castle Lord's Mansion Assembly Hall---
The thirty or forty people were divided into two columns, on the left were the generals of the Kangzhou Army at all levels headed by Ma You, and on the right were the leaders of the villages of the Zhen tribe headed by Shama Naigu.
The air was a little frozen, and dozens of big men on the left and right sides stared at each other with wide eyes, most of them had their palms clenched the blades under their waists and never left, and as long as the situation changed little, their swords would be unsheathed.
For hundreds of years, the Kangzhou Army and the Zheng people have been in a state of opposition for most of the time, and no one can pay attention to the grievances between the two sides, and probably no one has thought that one day they will stand in the same hall with each other.
Yang Yigao sat in the hall and coughed lightly, and everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at him. At this time, everyone needed Yang Yi to have an explanation, especially the generals of the Connecticut Army, the change of things was too fast, which surprised everyone.
Yang Yi glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "I believe that you are full of doubts about the things in Connecticut in the past few months, and today I will tell you the whole thing." First of all... A series of strange things that have happened recently in Kangzhou and even Shuzhong, the initiator is Chengzhou Thorn Shi Taohe. ”
As soon as the words came out, the house was full of surprise. Ma You couldn't help but come out and said: "Please also ask the general to make it clear!" ”
Ma You's tone was not too kind, because he faintly sensed bad news. Tao He is the well-known lord of Shu, and Yang Yi's first sentence was directed at Tao He, and the intention of this is unknown to everyone.
Facing Ma You's slightly questioning tone, Yang Yi was not surprised, although the Kangzhou Army was not under Tao He's control, it had been in Shu for twenty years, and its prestige naturally still existed.
"General Ma, don't be in a hurry, and after listening to me, I will also come up with enough evidence to prove what I said."
Yang Yi glanced at the hall again, and said: "I believe you are all very strange how you have never heard of me before, who the new commander of the Kangzhou Army is, of course you don't know me, because I only came to Shu for the first time at the end of last year, and I have no grudge or enmity with the people here, I was directly mentioned by Tao He from the position of a civilian to the position of the commander of the Kangzhou Army." ”
Everyone was surprised again, you must know that the commander of the Kangzhou Army is a military attache of the fifth grade, not to mention the civilian body, that is, the generals in the hall may not have the opportunity to sit in that position in their lives.
"Then the question is, why did Tao He suddenly promote me, a civilian, to a commander of the five-rank government soldiers?"
"That's right, as you can imagine, I'm here to be his substitute."
Regardless of everyone's surprise, Yang Yi continued: "It's not just Connecticut, Tao He has created innocent bloodbaths in the entire Shu for his own selfish desires, which can be described as madness. ”
Ma You exclaimed: "But Tao ...... Why did the Tao Thorn Shi do this? ”
Before Yang Yi could speak, Shama Naigu on the opposite side said with disdain: "Hmph...... Twenty years ago, he forced my Di people to retreat into the barren mountains, and now he covets the elixir of my Di tribe and harms my people. ”
"Immortal Pill ?!!"
Yang Yi answered: "Yes, it's the Immortal Pill!" Tao He has killed many innocent people for some illusory things. ”
Seeing that everyone was still in disbelief, Yang Yi stood up and walked to the steps, standing with his hands behind his back and saying, "Leader Shamanaigu, bring people up." ”
Shamanagu nodded, turned around and said a few words to a Zhen general, who walked out of the council hall quickly.
Soon, several people dressed as people were escorted in.
When the first person was a little embarrassed and knelt on the ground, he tried to raise his head, and when he saw Yang Yi standing on the steps, his eyes were full of surprise, and he blurted out: "It's you?" ”
Yang Yi had never seen the person from the Taohe Sect who infiltrated the territory of the Di Clan, and that person's question attracted Yang Yi's attention, and he suddenly found that this person's eyes were extremely familiar.
Quickly searched in his memory, and finally remembered that this person's eyes were very similar to the bandit leader that the Wanfu Merchant Caravan met on the Shu Road when Yang Yi first entered Shu.
Yang Yi suspected that the bloody case in the Shudao Post Station was committed by Tao He, and at this time it really confirmed his guess.
In fact, this person is indeed a bandit, named Goshawk, who was promised by Tao He to use his official position and money to do some shady things for him.
The interrogation of these bandits is far less difficult than the interrogation of Tao He's housekeeper and his family, and the bandits themselves and Tao He are only in a relationship of interests, far from being loyal.
Shama Naigu went down with a few whips, but the leader of the bandits, Goshawk, didn't say anything, but his second leader had already recruited all of them, and told them all the bad things that these bandits had done for Tao He over the years.
There are many things that even Yang Yi knows for the first time, such as the cause of death of the last commander of the Connecticut Army more than a year ago, which is not the well-known death of illness at all, but the poison caused by the goshawk and others.
The reason was simple and infuriating, just because the previous commander refused Tao He's request to start a war against the Zhen people to help him find the elixir of immortality, and the details told really matched the death of the previous commander.
When a group of Kangzhou army generals heard this, they drew their knives on the spot to chop this group of bandits into pieces of meat and feed them to the dogs, but they were stopped by Ma You, who was cold-faced, he knew that the person was captured by Yang Yi, even if he wanted to avenge Shangguan, he had to ask Yang Yi's opinion at this moment.
Ma You stepped forward and bowed to Yang Yi and said, "Please also ask the general to take revenge on our command!" ”
Yang Yi nodded and said: "These bandits are naturally bound to die, but these are just small minions, if you want to let the souls of the dead rest in peace, the only way to bring the mastermind to justice is to bring them to justice." ”
