Within a day, the sky changed again, and the people were panicked, and the young and strong children of their families were requisitioned and sent to the south gate by Hou Zhen, the actual controller of Yunyi, where a unique "trial" was underway.

Zhao Wuxian's words were resounding: "You keep saying that there are dialogues and dictations, but if you don't have a handwritten letter as evidence, it can't be used as testimony." What's more, there is such a law in the treasury of the Lu State, all the monarchs who deal with the retainers of the Yi Zai and Sima level must inform the monarch, and then they can openly ask for the guilt, and finally kill them in the family temple, otherwise they are considered to be against the law of etiquette. ”

"And now? The slaughter of a city was fine yesterday, but today he was killed on the spot at the feast, this is a great murder case, all listen to it is clear, partial listening is dark, how can I listen to your side of the story? ”

It was rare for Lu Guo to meet a little priest who pursued procedural justice so much, and he was speechless. He hurriedly stabilized his mind, it is true that this is true in terms of etiquette, but which doctor in Lu State still abides by it now?

Thinking about it like this, Si Chi was very determined, in the face of Zhao Wuxian's threat, he felt that it was just thunder and no rain, he could have laughed and listened to Zhao Xiaosikou say dry saliva, no matter how many reasons he had, he couldn't hurt himself in the slightest.

However, at the end, Zhao Wuxian said: "Xiao Sikou can summon anyone below Jue Wei to inquire about the case, you will send Gongruo's body here, and let the person in question, Ma Zhenghou, come here to confront him immediately!" ”

Si Chi's face changed, this is Zhao Wuxian's true purpose hidden under many excuses! What do you have to do with the prisoner? There must be some deception in it, no, he can't be allowed to make contact with Hou Prisoner again!

He reluctantly smiled: "Houma is ...... him"

At this moment, a voice sounded behind him: "Don't dare to bother Xiao Si Kou to wait for a long time, Hou is here!" ”

……

Sichi's excuse was interrupted by a voice, and he looked back. It was the Hou prisoner who had settled the other three gates who rode a fat horse and put on armor and walked slowly from the north and south streets. The confrontation between Zhao Wuxian and Si Chi, Hou Prisoner had been observing for a while, and he was quite impressed by Zhao Wuxian's attitude and eloquence.

Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, today was probably the day he said the most in disguise, what procedures were not in accordance with the etiquette law. What unilateral testimony can't be believed, and it's a fool to mention this at the juncture of the rush. Those are just lines that he borrows over and over again as a "little sikou", because he must lure out the key players in this coup d'état in order to try to save the situation.

Now that the main character is on the stage, today's show has just begun, and the outcome is unknown!

He once again put on a posture of Si Kou: "Si Chi, you retreat first, I will ask Hou Prisoner alone." ”

Si Chi ignored it and said to the Hou prisoner who passed by him: "Don't go, be careful of deception." Don't forget how Yang Hu was plotted by the Zhao family! ”

The prisoner hesitated, but Zhao Wuxian took the initiative to go down to the city, and his mount slowly appeared from the hole in the city gate, and threw down the bow and arrow hanging from the saddle, showing no doubt. Zhao Wuxian's equestrian skills are superb, it is easy to escape, and judging from the performance of Hou Gong, he does not dare to hurt himself.

He also made people shout loudly: "Hou Mazheng." You and I don't bring subordinates, and I don't bring blades. How about riding a horse to within ten paces of talking? ”

Si Chi was anxious, and grabbed the placket of the Hou prisoner's clothes tightly under the horse: "Don't go, I heard that the Zhao family has made a small crossbow that can be hidden in the sleeve, and the arrow will die within ten steps!" ”

Hou was a little impatient, but he shook him off: "If you can be raided by the world-famous Zhao Xiaosikou with a crossbow." Kill with your own hands, my hou prisoner can be regarded as a well-deserved death, what's the pity? ”

Although Si Chi is highly respected and scheming, he is the only one who does not hold military power. Unable to stop the prisoner, he could only watch him move forward to beat his horse. Of course, he knew who his accomplice was, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

……

Ten steps apart, Zhao Wuxian could see through the light of the torch and the moon, he was tall and thin, with slender arms, and the unsheathed copper sword at his waist had drunk blood, and it looked as if it was covered with a layer of red.

Zhao Wuxian spoke first: "Hou Mazheng, Si Chi has been plotting with you for a long time for this matter?" ”

"Yes, we have been planning for half a year, and it was not until nearly a month that we had a chance." Hou Prisoner's face, in addition to being as respectful as ever, was a little more complacent.

I'm proud of killing Gongruo! Gong Ruo treats him like his own son, but he has no remorse when he fights back, and he can't even see a trace of guilt afterwards, Lu Ping said that he is a careerist, a person who can be bought with huge profits, and it is true.

Very good, as long as people have weaknesses, women, money, power, and even for the sake of the people, trust in others, and an ideal that has turned into an obsession, these are all weaknesses, and Hou Cheng's weaknesses can be easily grasped by Zhao Wuxian.

So Zhao Wuxian smiled and said, "I heard that Gongruo is very good to you, and even has the idea of passing on Yi Zai to you, how can you help the Shusun clan attack and kill him in turn?" ”

The expression on Hou Prisoner's face was a little strange: "Because I am a retainer of the Shusun family, and he is a traitor......"

Zhao Wuxian shook his head: "No, it's not just because of this, if Gongruo is physically tough, it will be possible for another one or two decades, so you can't wait for Gongruo to die of old age, so you can start first." But the stinginess of the uncle and grandson is also famous, if my guess is right, the benefits that Si Chi promised you for this matter should be the Yi Zai, or Sima, but it is definitely not the Yi Yi, because the uncle and grandson will use this place as the clan lord afterwards, and will never allow it to fall into the hands of other private cities......"

Seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when they see ghosts, now Zhao Wuxian doesn't say a word about justice, etiquette, etc., but is constantly prying the stone of interests in the heart of Hou Gong. As soon as Hou didn't pay attention, he was taken away by Zhao Wuxian, speaking out of passivity, and his situation was inseparable from Zhao Wuxian's guess.

So when Zhao Wuxian pointed out an important fact, Hou Cheng was immediately moved.

"Now that the Yiyi is in your hands, thousands of soldiers are at your disposal, and the soldiers and the people of the country bow their heads and listen, but after your uncle and grandson accept this city, you want to return it to your uncle and grandson, don't you think it's a pity?"

Hou Cheng's fingers clasped his palms tightly: "This is what you should do as a subordinate, and please don't talk about it......

"Should it? You are wrong, nothing in the world should be. ”

"Does Hou Ma just think that it is actually good to change to another Yi to be a Yi Zai or Sima, and the position should be at least higher than Ma Zheng? But this is the best-case scenario, but have you ever heard of a saying that the cunning rabbit dies? The lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden! The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, and after you hand over the city and soldiers to the Shusun clan, you will lose the basis for standing in the world, and the uncle and grandson are narrow-minded people. He can murder Gongruo, and he can murder you in turn! ”

"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow hides ......"

This is indeed a very reasonable sentence, and Hou Cheng's face changed greatly: "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhao Wuxian is now completely devoid of the image of a righteous judge, and the whole demon who wants to tempt humans to commit crimes: "Don't hand over the Yi to the Shusun clan, just refuse to defend yourself, this place is bordered by Mount Tai in the north." It is bordered by Wenshui in the south, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to rely on the uncle and grandson family to attack it alone. ”

The horse on which the prisoner sat down felt the tremor and uneasiness in his master's heart, and the horse's hooves kept being raised and lowered.

"But if I don't have the protection of my uncle and grandson, I will also be besieged by the entire Lu country......" His eyes suddenly lit up: "I can't go to the Qi country......"

"Qi Guo?" Zhao Wuxian laughed: "Have you forgotten what happened to Yang Hu when he went to Qi Kingdom?" ”

Recruiting wise men requires reputation, and international reputation is like a snowball, the Marquis of Qi was betrayed by Yang Hu again, and he detained Ziyang, a disciple of Bian Que who entered the Qi country to save the dead and help the wounded. The reputation began to gradually deteriorate, so the dead people of various countries wanted to flee to the Qi Kingdom. First of all, you have to consider the country's reputation.

So after thinking about it, Hou Jian also lost his confidence in throwing Qi, he was really stumped now, he was already suspicious of Si Chi and Shusun Zhou, he had no loyalty, and his ambition was a basket. So he began to bow his head and think about his way out.

In the end, it was Zhao Wuxian who pointed out a clear way to him: "Hou Mazheng, don't think about it, you have nowhere to go." Located between the two countries of Qi and Lu, Yunyi is a battleground for soldiers and wants to keep it for a long time. Only me, only Siru can accept you! ”

……

"Little Sikou...... Would you like to accept me? Hou Criminal's eyes widened, a little incredulous, just now he was able to come over, it was completely for Zhao Wuxian's reputation, he was originally ready to be scolded and questioned for killing Gong Ruo, but Zhao Wuxian didn't say a word, and invited him to join the gang.

"I have given Gongruo a lot of conditions, if he agreed two or three days earlier, he would not have ended up in this fate, this Si Kou is not right about people, I fancy it is Yuyi, not Gongruo, or those conditions, one unchanged, if you are willing to join the secret alliance of the Xilu Doctors, I can help you get rid of the crime! Gain a foothold in Yunyi, I can swear not to interfere in the internal affairs of Yunyi, you just need to maintain the state of public status and not let Shusun Zhou's hatred touch this city, what is it? ”

Hou Gong's heart was pounding, this was exactly what he needed, but he hesitated and did not hear anything, after all, this would take a lot of risks.

But Zhao Wuxian's next sentence made him completely hesitant.

"When the matter is over, I can recommend you to become the real Yizai! Even...... It's Dr. Eup! ”

"Yip...... Dr. Eup!? Hou prisoner became short of breath, which was a huge benefit he had not thought of.

"Little Si Komo is not joking?"

"Now is the world of great controversy when hundreds of rivers are boiling and mountains are collapsing. The status of the princes and doctors can be described as a high bank for the valley and a deep valley for the mausoleum, nothing is impossible. So Yang Hu was originally a courtier, but he almost blocked the real government. Liu Xia was originally a heinous thief, but as long as he can make enough achievements, I can recommend him as a doctor, let alone you?

"I'm willing to follow the little Sikou!" Hou Cheng did not lose his careerist nature, he said that change will change, he agreed in a hurried tone, then glanced behind him, lowered his voice and said: "Si Chi will definitely not agree, how should I deal with him......"

Zhao Wuxian smiled and looked at the Hou prisoner who had already entered the play: "You are now the owner of this town, what do you think should be done?" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hou Criminal's eyes: "I know what to do!" ”

A moment later, the white-haired head of Si Chi was put in a box by the Hou prisoner and dedicated to Zhao Wuxian at the south gate, and like Gong Ruo, he died without turning a blind eye!

This is the condition for Zhao Wuxian to promise to withdraw from the south gate, and it is also the name of the Hou prisoner......

Zhao Wuxian glanced at it, and asked people to put the heads of Si Chi and Gongruo together, and thought in his heart:

"Si Chi will be said to die with Gong Ruo when he fights, of course this can't deceive Sanhuan. It's just that with his death, the Hou prisoner will have no way to retreat, and when the soldiers of Shusun Zhouqiu come to accept the city, he will be able to eat a bowl of closed-door soup!
