Chapter 432: Extinguishing the Mouth
Xiao Jiong looked at Zhao Ziliang's expression and was ready to take away the cloud guard, if Zhao Ziliang really asked Zhao Ziliang to investigate this case to the end, he Xiao Jiong would also be confessed by Zhang Yulin and others, and even if he Xiao Jiong was covered by Li Linfu, it would be difficult to save his life.
This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the "Hou Ye" above, once he is confessed, with the support of Tian Renwan, Zhao Ziliang will definitely arrest him, and after he is arrested, with the ruthlessness of the "Hou Ye", in order to protect himself, he will inevitably secretly send someone to poison him before being interrogated to shut him up forever, or threaten the lives of dozens of people in his whole family to keep him shut up.
For the sake of his own life, Xiao Jiong decided to bow his head to Zhao Ziliang, he dismounted and walked to the parade platform, but was stopped by Zhao Ziliang's subordinates, Xiao Jiong was in a hurry, and blurted out: "General Zhao, can you take a step to speak?" ”
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he immediately understood what Xiao Jiong's old thing had in mind, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "If Lord Xiao has anything to say, he will say in front of more than 7,000 soldiers in the whole cloud, here in this general, there is nothing unspeakable!" ”
These insinuating words made Xiao Jiong's face flush, and at this time he was already messed up, and he couldn't care so much, "So General Zhao is not going to give Xiao this face?" In the future, everyone will be officials in the same dynasty, doesn't General Zhao feel that he is setting up a strong enemy by doing so? ”
Zhao Ziliang said righteously: "Zhao has many political enemies in the court, but all those who are traitors, oppress the people, eat vegetarian meals, embezzle and accept bribes, buy and sell officials, bewitch the king, and cause chaos in the court, etc., are all Zhao's enemies. ”
Zhao Ziliang's voice fell, and the more than 7,000 clouds on the campus under the stage of the Chinese army officers and soldiers shouted loudly: "Okay, the general is mighty!" ”
Seeing this, Xiao Jiong's old face instantly turned the color of pig liver, trembling with anger, pointing at Zhao Ziliang and saying angrily: "Okay, good, surnamed Zhao, you are ruthless, this official swears not to rest with you!" Hmph, farewell! ”
With that, Xiao Jiong turned around and left.
Zhao Ziliang shouted at this time: "Wait! Lord Xiao, you ran to Zhao's jurisdiction without even saying hello, and when you came, you came, and when you left, you still walked away, why can't you say it? Also, Lord Xiao took Hu Cong to trespass into my Yunzhong Army camp and left like this? If Zhao left so easily today, others would still think that I, Zhao and all the soldiers of the Yunzhong Army, were weak and could be bullied! ”
The more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Chinese army in the audience listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and their bodies stood more straight, and their bodies were full of murderous energy
Xiao Jiong's face changed, and he turned his senses and pointed at Zhao Ziliang: "You ・・・・・・ Zhao Ziliang, what do you want to do?" This official is the commander of Hedong and the right wing, and he is above you, do you dare to do anything to this official? ”
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Lord Xiao is indeed above Zhao, and Zhao can't do anything to Lord Xiao now, but Lord Xiao's trespassing in the Yunzhong Army camp will not be just settled, Zhao will send a copy to Lord Tian and the imperial court!" Also, Lord Xiao can leave, but all these servants who were instructed by you to beat the sentry soldiers of my Yunzhong Army camp and trespass on the camp must all stay! ”
Xiao Jiong was furious, pointed at Zhao Ziliang again and shouted, "You dare? ”
As Xiao Jiong became furious, dozens of his subordinates drew their weapons one after another to protect Xiao Jiong and defend themselves, all of them staring vigilantly at Zhao Ziliang's servants around the parade platform.
"On Zhao's side, why don't Zhao? Even if the lawsuit is in front of the holy driver, Zhao is not afraid! Today, I will definitely seek justice for myself and all the soldiers of the Yunzhong Army! Zhao Zihao did not show weakness, and immediately shouted: "The first regiment of the first battalion of the Yunzhong Army listened to the order, surrounded all these people, did not let one go, confiscated their weapons, and if there was resistance, it would be killed!" ”
"Command!" Zhou Chong, who had just been promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant of the first regiment of the first battalion, drew out his horizontal knife and pointed at dozens of servants under Xiao Jiong and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" ”
A shout of killing sounded, and hundreds of soldiers rushed over with their weapons, and soon surrounded these dozens of people, including Xiao Jiong, in the middle, with cold lights flashing, swords and guns, and the murderous spirit was boiling for a while.
Xiao Jiong was born as a civil official, even if he had been an envoy to the Hexi Festival, he had only been in a hurry for two years, and he had never seen such a battle at all, where could he withstand it, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over his body and turned pale, like a little quail shivering in the wind and snow.
"Put down your weapons!"
"Put it down, spare you if you don't die!"
The soldiers shouted one after another, and the huge momentum made dozens of Xiao Jiong's subordinates who were surrounded by cold sweat break out on their foreheads, in this situation of great disparity in strength, it was futile to resist, but these people still did not put down their weapons, I have to say that Xiao Jiong's servants are still very conscientious, and they did not drop their weapons and were captured in such a situation.
Zhao Ziliang said at this time: "Lord Xiao, their life and death are only in your thoughts, they will count three times, if they don't drop their weapons and tie their hands and arrest them, then the swords and guns will have no eyes, in case they hurt the adults, they will not be able to bear this responsibility!" ”
Xiao Jiong is a person who is afraid of death, of course he doesn't want to be hurt in the slightest, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand to his subordinates: "Put down your weapons and surrender, this official will find a way to save you!" ”
When Xiao Jiong's servants heard this, they dropped their weapons one by one, and the soldiers in the clouds rushed up and arrested all of them.
After these servants were arrested, Zhao Ziliang said to Xiao Jiong: "Lord Xiao, you can go, but this matter is not over today!" ”
Xiao Jiong glared at Zhao Ziliang: "Hmph, let's see!" ”
Soon after Xiao Jiong left, Zhao Ziliang did not stay long, he asked the newly appointed captains and deputy captains of each battalion of the Yunzhong Army to stay behind to lead the soldiers and horses, and he took the new members of the Yunzhong Guarding Mansion team to return to the Guarding Mansion to officially deal with military affairs.
Back at the Guarding Mansion, Chang Shi Gaoshang suggested to Zhao Ziliang: "General, although these people have all been taken down, there must be another mastermind behind such people, just because they definitely don't have such courage and skill, and now these people have been wiped out by the general, we have to guard against the mastermind behind this and take the lead in poisoning them before we interrogate them in order to protect themselves, so that they will never be able to speak!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Lord Gao's opinion coincides with General Ben, this matter is sooner rather than later, since this is the case, it is better to have Lord Gao preside over the interrogation, and we must pry their mouths open in the shortest possible time, as for the precautions, General Ben will arrange it personally!" ”
Gao Shang arched his hand and said: "The subordinate officer receives the order!" ”
However, it was said that Xiao Jiong was alone after all of his servants were detained by Zhao Ziliang, and he came to a mansion near the West City Gate very embarrassed and asked to meet the owner of the mansion.
"Master Hou, it's not good, Zhao Ziliang actually made trouble on the spot in the Yunzhong Army camp and arrested all our people, no one thought that he would do this in advance, and the soldiers and low-level military leaders below still listened to him, Zhang Yulin and those people couldn't succeed in turning the tables, and the lower officials hurried over after getting the news, but they were still a step late, not only failed to save them, but almost put themselves in!"
Hou Ye, who was originally unfazed on his face, listened to Xiao Jiong's words, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately asked: "This Zhao Ziliang, Ben Hou still underestimated him, I didn't expect him to know so much inside information, it seems that the Yunzhong Army and the personnel in the Guarding Mansion have been almost mastered by him, and now only you and I are hiding behind the scenes and have not been found out by him, but with the arrest of Zhang Yulin and these people, as long as one of the four of them can't resist opening his mouth, you will be exposed!" ”
Xiao Jiong said eagerly: "Master Hou, what should I do now?" If Zhao Ziliang is allowed to investigate, he will soon find out about the lower officials! ”
Hou Ye replied: "You said that you almost put yourself in it just now?" What's going on? ”
Xiao Jiong also knew that he had done too recklessly to break into the camp, but he couldn't care so much about it in a hurry at the time, and now that he thinks about it, he feels that it is indeed too reckless, he sighed: "This is all a mistake made by the lower officials in a hurry, after the lower officials got the news, they rushed to the Yunzhong Army camp with dozens of congregations in anger but were stopped by the sentry, and the lower official was in a hot mind at the time, and he ordered the servants to run away from the sentry and rush into the camp on the spot!" Afterwards, Zhao Ziliang grabbed this matter and detained all the subordinates of the lower officials, and only let the lower officials come out alone! ”
Hou Ye thought for a while and said: "Judging from this matter, Zhao Ziliang should not know that you are involved, otherwise it would not be so easy to let you go, and what we have to do now is to stop him from interrogating Zhang Yulin's gang!" ”
Xiao Jiong asked cautiously, "Does Master Hou mean to rob the prison or to shut them up forever?" ”
Hou Ye looked at Xiao Jiong and asked, "Do you think it's possible to rob the prison?" Not to mention that we don't have many people here, even if we do, when there are not many houses and a small population in this cloud city, and there are armies and checkpoints all around, what is the probability of a successful robbery? ”
Xiao Jiong thought of the situation he might encounter when robbing the prison, and for a while a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he muttered: "It seems that there is only one way to extinguish the mouth, but how to carry out this extermination?" There are seventy-two people in all, and the prison is heavily guarded, and it is basically not feasible to send people to infiltrate ・・・・・・."
At this time, Hou Ye walked to the desk next to him, picked up the brush and wrote a name on a piece of white paper, he put down the brush and took out a small white porcelain bottle from the drawer, handed it to Xiao Jiong together with the white paper with the name written on it, and ordered: "This person is a jailer in the prison, this is a bottle of medicine that seals the throat with blood, you go to this person, and let him mix this medicine into the meals given to those people!" This must be done as soon as possible, preferably tonight, or later! ”
At this time, it was already a matter of life and death, Xiao Jiong took the white paper and the porcelain vase and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Xiaguan understands!" (To be continued.) )
