Gao Xi looked at Wang Shichong's eyes calmly, and his eyes were shining: "In any case, you and I can get along, with such an ending, the old man is also gratified, Wang Xingman, I hope you can end the troubled times as soon as possible, don't suffer the people of the world, my family and nephews, and hope to take care of one or two, this is also the old man's last entrustment to you." With that, he turned around and walked into the cell without looking back.

Wang Shichong's eyes were glistening with tears, his nose twitched, and he saluted respectfully: "Qi Guogong goes all the way!" ”

The next night, still in the prison in this Yulin City, Wang Shichong changed into a four-grade red official robe, wearing a gauze hat, looking at the three corpses in the courtyard with a gloomy face, yesterday was still alive, the three important ministers who could eat and scold, at this time have become three corpses with blue and black faces, Yang Guang's order was to behead, but Wang Shichong repeatedly asked in front of Yang Guang, so that the former emperor and important ministers died without a full body, only afraid that it would cause criticism, so Yang Guang reluctantly agreed to give poisoned wine, Wang Shichong also said that he would be publicly executed in this Guanzhong Town, but he was afraid that the Turks would underestimate the Great Sui, so the execution of the death penalty was put in this prison again, if it wasn't for Yang Guang specially sent Yuwenshu to monitor, Wang Shichong even wanted to feed Gao Xi fake death medicine and get a golden cicada out of his shell.

Yuwenshu witnessed the entire execution process with a gloomy face, Wang Shichong also brought He Ruobi out after mentioning Gao Xi last night, warning him not to talk nonsense, otherwise the whole family's sexual Huai # mystery 飧龉芈ご蠼 Cang Huang Mo Wolf put ≡ Kou Shun Chat Zhuo Lai Na Traces Echo Echo АH ∷ Trench Male Yue V Gray Huai Pull Proper Arc? Vinegar Pan Trench Ne Gang Evil Egg File Kui Punishment Jing Raccoon Dog >

More than a dozen Xiaoguo sergeants carried the three corpses, wrapped them in white cloth, put them on a cart, and transported them in the direction of the imperial camp. Wang Shichong was just about to start, but he heard Yu Wenshu's voice sounding from behind: "Wang Shilang (Wang Shichong temporarily granted a criminal department waiter, and inspected the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple to investigate and handle this case), can you stay for a while?" ”

Wang Shichong stopped and turned around expressionlessly: "What advice does General Yuwen have?" ”

A smile hung on Yu Wenshu's face: "The dog doesn't know right from wrong, he was fooled, he offended Wang Shilang, there are many offends, and the old man pleaded guilty to Wang Shilang." He said, leaning deeply at his waist.

Wang Shichong's eyebrows moved. He also didn't expect that Yu Wenshu, who had always been above the top. would be so bent on a fourth-grade official like himself, he hurriedly replied: "General Yuwen really killed the lower officials, where can the lower officials afford it!" ”

Yu Wenshu raised his head and sighed: "The family is unfortunate, the old man has been leading the troops for many years, ignoring the discipline of these two beasts, this time the matter is so big, the old man is ashamed of the supreme, I am sorry for you Wang Shilang, I can't wait to kill those two boys now, and confess to Wang Shilang." ”

Wang Shichong looked at the heartbroken appearance that Yu Wenshu was pretending to be now, and sneered in his heart: Act with Lao Tzu and practice for another twenty years! But he still made a look of panic on his face: "General Yuwen, there is no need to be like this, it is all Feng Lun's villain who is in the way, the two sons are just provoked by him, since Your Majesty did not deal with the two sons according to the national law at that time, there must be room for it, and General Yuwen does not need to worry too much." ”

Yu Wenshu looked around, Wang Shichong knew that this guy had something important to discuss with him, and said: "You all exit the small courtyard, twenty steps away from here, no one is allowed to enter without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Yu Wenshu also gave the same order to his guards, and the small courtyard suddenly became empty, and the moonlight reflected the shadows of the two on the ground for a long time, so quiet that only the sound of night owls on the trees and the sound of the night wind passing through the small courtyard could be heard.

Yuwen Shu sighed: "Wang Shilang, there are no outsiders present now, and I don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, this time it is indeed the old man who was provoked by Feng Lun, and set this strategy to harm you, but your countermeasures really opened the old man's eyes, and now you have won, but as you said just now, the old man has not completely lost, at least the old man is still in the position of the general of Zuo Yiwei, if you kill them all this time, and you have to put my two sons to death, then we are an undying enemy, how to choose, I hope you'll think twice. ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "General Yuwen is refreshing enough, I thought you would continue to act with me for a while, relying on low three or four to beg me to let go of your two sons, but I didn't expect others to retreat, but you directly gave an ultimatum, which was really unexpected to me." ”

Yuwenshu's triangular eyes flashed fiercely: "Wang Shilang, to be honest, I used to know that you were very powerful, but I didn't know that you were so good, Feng Lun's mouth can bring the dead to life, the old man was confused for a while, and he fell for him, so he would be your enemy, and now the old man also regrets it, if you can let me go this time, help me intercede with the Supreme, and save my son from dying, in the future, I Yuwenshu will owe you a great favor, and I will definitely repay it!" ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "General Yuwen, I'm afraid you made a mistake, this time it's not my counterattack, but your enemy Li Hun helped me once, I'm afraid you don't know it now, it was Li Min who knew your plan, so he told Xiao Yu to sù Supreme, and the night before yesterday it was also Supreme who personally led the troops to arrest your two sons, you really want to find the enemy, don't look for me, but go to find the surname Li and the surname Xiao." ”

Yu Wenshu gritted his teeth and said: "I have already investigated these things, but they are just complaining, and I will slowly report the enmity with them in the future, and now the top priority is to save the lives of my two sons, Wang Shilang, since the Supreme has promoted you to be the squire of the Criminal Department, and asked you to investigate Gao Xi's case, presumably my son's case will also be brought to you in the end for trial, whether it is dead or alive, isn't it based on your words!" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "I can't control this case, your two sons sold 500,000 catties of pig iron, and they were stolen, and all the subordinates involved in this case were all beheaded." It doesn't matter who is going to hear the case. It's impossible to keep them alive. Unless the legal system of the Great Sui is completely changed, it is not my Wang Shichong who can decide the life and death of your two sons, but only the Supreme. ”

Yu Wenshu's face turned red, and his voice raised a little: "But after all, you can accept the holy will to handle the case, this time the Supreme Favor trusts you, you can at least speak in front of him, as long as you are willing to intercede for my son." My son has a greater hope. Wang Shilang, the old man's words have been made very clear, you are willing to help me this time, and I will repay myself in the future, if you don't save you when you see death, it is to force the old man to be your enemy to the end, where to go, you can do it yourself. ”

A cold look flashed on Wang Shichong's face: "General Yuwen, since you are here to ask me to help you, then you should have at least respect for me." Not to mention that you want to kill me this time, so you will incur this result. If Li Hun hadn't known about your plan, I would have killed you at this time, but now you are begging me, but you are putting on this threatening attitude, who do you want to scare? During the period of the first emperor, although my official position was not high, I could not even buy Gao Xi and Yang Su's accounts, and now I may not be afraid of you General Yuwen and provoke me, see if you die or I live! ”

Although Wang Shichong's voice was not high, but in this lonely and cool night, it made Yuwenshu feel a chill to the bone, since he gained power, almost everyone is servile in front of him, only this Wang Shichong in front of him, dare to resist like this, and do not eat his own threat at all. Thinking of Gao Xi's face when he was carried out just now, his face was blue and black, and his seven orifices were bleeding, Yu Wenshu suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his momentum also decreased by several points.

Wang Shichong looked at his face, knowing that Yu Wenshu was a little afraid, he had seen too many such people in his life, although Yu Wenshu was in a high position, but its essence was too much worse than Gao Xi and Yang Su and others, and it was not too difficult for him to deal with him, and he wanted to cooperate with this person in the future, so that he could be driven by himself, and this meeting today would first overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, and his tone softened a little: "General Yuwen, I have no intention of being your enemy, but if you are condescending, or want to take the initiative to think that I am an enemy, then Wang has nothing to be afraid of, it is nothing more than a fish to die and the net is broken, this time your son has committed a big crime, and the Supreme is also very clear that it was you who instigated it, and there is a crisis in your trust, if you are still here to threaten me and blow the atmosphere, then the disaster will not be far away, and it is up to you to make any choice." ”

Yuwen Shu gritted his teeth and changed his smiling face: "Wang Shilang, the old man was in a hurry just now, and he spoke a little heavier, I'm sorry." The old man is willing to be friends with you Wang Shilang today, and I also ask Wang Shilang to raise his noble hand and save the dog's life,"

Wang Shichong's tense face just now also eased a lot, and he smiled slightly: "General Yuwen, if you respect me, I will pay you back, this is what Wang learned from doing business, if you and I are equal, naturally Wang is willing to be friends with a general like you." What Wang said just now is also the truth, Ling Gongzi's life is in the hands of the Supreme, and Wang really can't help much. ”

Yu Wenshu sighed: "Is my son really going to be killed like this?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Wang doesn't see it that way, if the Supreme intends to deal with Ling Gongzi in accordance with the law of the country, he would have killed him in public yesterday, why wait until now?" According to Wang's view, the Supreme is also observing now, and then making a decision. ”

Yu Wenshu's eyes lit up: "Observation? What to observe? Is it to observe whether my Yuwenshu wants to take risks and raise troops to rebel in order to save his son? ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "There is no need to doubt the general's loyalty to the Supreme, and the Supreme will not suspect that you have two hearts, otherwise it will not be as simple as taking away your military power, it is just the most basic personnel adjustment, if your son commits such a big thing, he will not punish you in any way, and it is difficult to explain to the civil and military officials, what I am talking about is not to observe your General Yuwen, but to observe Li Hun and Xiao Yu who reported this matter." ”

Yuwen Shuqi said: "They have made great contributions this time, what does the Supreme want to observe them do?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No one will be angry for others for no reason, Li Hun has a grudge against you, the world knows that Li Hun has a grudge against you, it's not strange that he came to report you, but why did Xiao Yu do him this favor, it's hard to say, General Yuwen, haven't you thought about this problem?" ”

Yu Wenshu suddenly realized, and clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, why didn't I think of this." Xiao Yu is the Lanling Xiao family. Xiao Liang clan. He wanted to take the opportunity to knock me down. So that the future who has a good relationship with their surname Xiao will lead the troops, and the Supreme is really a saint, and he can see through the tricks of these gangsters at once. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Then General Yuwen, who will you say is a good general with the Xiao family?" ”

Yu Wenshu sneered: "Except for this Li Hun, the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Cong, the patriarch of the Xiao family, is He Ruobi, the Duke of Shu who has just been given death because of arguing about the government." Wang Shilang. You mean, this time the Supreme has seen through their intentions, so he killed He Ruobi as a warning? ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "He Ruobi's case, I tried it personally, they talked about state affairs more than two months ago, it is very strange that Xiao Yu actually took the initiative to report this person, I don't know what conflicts He Ruobi had with their Xiao family, or Xiao Yuxin befriended Li Hun." So He Ruobi is no longer needed, this is unknown. The Supreme had originally suppressed this case all the time. At least I have to go back to the Eastern Capital for a retrial, but after Ling Gongzi's case was found yesterday, the Supreme immediately ordered the execution of Gao Xi and He Ruobi, which should obviously be a warning to the Xiao family, telling them not to use the topic to play and hit your General Yuwen's idea. ”

Yu Wenshu's brows suddenly stretched: "So, my two sons can get through the danger this time?" ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a while: "It should be about the same, the Supreme did not order to kill them on the spot, that is, there was room for it, and he did not hand over this case to any official to be punished according to the law of the country, obviously he wanted to order a pardon himself, but after all, this matter spread out, and the impact was very bad, so the two sons had to suffer for a while, stay in prison for a while, and when the opportunity is right, I think the Supreme will open the net." During this period of time, the general must be extremely humble, let alone show any nostalgia for military power, it is best to cut off contacts with your subordinates and friends, think about it behind closed doors at home, and be complacent with Xiao Shizhi, and begin to arrange his own fellow clan and his nephew as officials in sharp contrast, so that it is not difficult for the Supreme to make a choice. ”

A trace of excitement flashed on Yu Wenshu's face: "Wang Shilang, if the old man passes this level, is there any way to fight back against Li Hun and Xiao Yu?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Li Hun and your grievances are old grudges, Wang is inconvenient to get in the way, but behind the Xiao family is Queen Xiao, and now the Xiao family is favored, it is not so easy to deal with, I advise General Yuwen to find a way to make friends with Xiao Cong or Xiao Yu, please let them open the net, give up being your enemy, and get along well in the future." ”

Yu Wenshu spat heavily on the ground: "People are going to harm me directly, and the old man will still ask them to convince me?" I don't have this habit in Yuwenshu, Wang Shilang, Li Hun has my own way to deal with it, and what weaknesses can be used by the Xiao family, please teach me. ”

Wang Shichong's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "This, it's not that there is no way, it's just that I helped you come up with ideas like this, didn't I offend Queen Xiao?" And even if they saved me this time, I can't take revenge like this. ”

Yu Wenshu waved his hand: "Wang Shilang, I just want to teach the surname Xiao a lesson, let them know that I Yuwen Shu is not easy to bully, there is nothing else, you can rest assured, I and the Xiao family are not the kind of undying hatred, but this time I have to vent my anger." ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a while: "If it is a small punishment, there is a way, the Supreme is also a little vigilant about the Xiao family's current large-scale officials, in the past two years, there are dozens of Xiao's sons and nephews who have won the office, and the Supreme finally cleaned up Yang Su's forces, but it was for the Xiao family to make a wedding dress, plus the Lanling Xiao family was in the Southern Dynasty when it was a relative who seized the world of Liu Song and established the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Liang got the country of the Southern Qi as a foreign relative, there is this precedent, the Supreme Beware of having relatives, Therefore, as long as General Yuwen orders people to spread nursery rhymes in the Eastern Capital, saying that Xiao Xiao is resurrecting and something like that, as long as it reaches the ears of the Supreme, he will begin to purge the power of the Xiao family. ”

Yu Wenshu laughed and clapped his hands suddenly: "Xiao Xiao is back again?" That's a great solution. Xiao Shi gave such a blow, it was a dumb person eating yellow lotus, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter. Wang Shilang, I will not forget what you taught me today, and when the old man passes this level, he will definitely be rewarded! ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Wang Mouzheng has a small matter that he wants to trouble General Yuwen to help." It just so happened that General Yuwen said this today, Wang Mou is not talented, and he also makes a request to you, which should be just a gesture for you. ”

Yuwen Shu said with a smile: "Wang Shilang wants the old man to come forward and give you a military position, so that you can make contributions to the army in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, I have no interest in this area for the time being, I have fought too many battles before, and I am already disgusted with Yiqiē on the battlefield, and I don't want to return to the battlefield, being a civil official, and running my own business by the way, is my favorite choice." ”

Yuwen Shu laughed: "Brother Wang, do you think that the Supreme is a talented literati, so he did what he likes and wants to abandon martial arts and follow literature?" I know that your brother Wang is a natural general. ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "I used to go to the battlefield to fight for my life, but now I also have a family and a business, and I have become a squire of this criminal department, in my opinion, it is enough to return to my hometown, I am different from you Guanlong military meritorious families, and I don't want to establish many merits on the battlefield, just keep a fortune." So General Yuwen, I don't want to ask myself for a military position now, of course, if the Supreme wants to use me one day, then I have no other choice but to go to the battlefield again. ”

Yu Wenshu's brows furrowed: "Doesn't Wang Shilang want to make contributions on the battlefield and seek a title for his descendants?" Now you don't seem to have a title yourself, how can your son's generation inherit your family property? ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Didn't the Supreme come out with a new deal a while ago, if the descendants have no merit, the kind of father's merit will be abolished, with this policy, the road of sealing the wife and the shadow will not work, I might as well climb high in the officialdom, and make more friends with more powerful people in the future, so that they can recommend my son to be an official." ”

Yuwenshu shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, people like Wang Shilang can't serve the country in the army, it's really a loss for the country, no matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, and the old man can't force it, since you don't want to be an official yourself, then you must want to ask for a military position for others, but it doesn't matter, if you can help, you will definitely help." ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "The former long history of Yingzhou, and now the county of Jingling County, I wonder if General Yuwen can help with the activity and let him join the military department as a squire?" ”

Yu Wenshu's brows furrowed slightly: "Hu Sizheng? I know this man, he is a capable civil servant, but he is not a soldier, and the military department is not under my jurisdiction, so I am afraid I will not be able to help with this. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Duan Wenzhen, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, is the general's old friend." ”

Yuwenshu nodded: "Yes, Lao Duan and I have been friends for decades, six years ago when he quelled the rebellion in Shuzhong, he was defeated, causing the general Yang Wutong to die in battle, according to the law, it was the old man who pleaded with the emperor, which pardoned his crime of defeat, and then the old man arranged for him to suppress the local barbarian rebellion in the area of Qianzhong, and was able to reinstate the official, after the Supreme ascended the throne, the old man recommended Duan Wenzhen to the Supreme and let him sit on the position of the secretary of the military department, what do you mean, you want the old man to intercede with Duan Shangshu, Recruiting the government into the military department? ”

Wang Shichong once asked Queen Xiao to find a way to arrange Hu Sizheng's position, but he didn't want to touch the nail in Duan Wenzhen, and he didn't know what grudges the two had before, Duan Wenzhen insisted that Hu Sizheng was a traitor, a treacherous person, and he must not be transferred to the court to entrust him with important tasks, so this matter has been frozen here, today Wang Shichong just wanted to test Yu Wenshu, but he didn't expect Yu Wenshu to have such a close relationship with Duan Wenzhen, so it seems that things will be much easier.

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Hu Sizheng and Wang worked together in Yingzhou for a period of time, when Wang first arrived in Yingzhou, he was not familiar with the place, Hu Si Changshi helped me a lot, at that time Wang had promised that he would try his best to help him get a six-department official position.
