Chapter 61: Identification
The Nalu County Commander took out a spoonful of sugar from the small pot, put it in the teacup, and slowly stirred the spoon with his little finger, which was as white as jade, "Yesterday afternoon, the Young Khan of the Turkic Tatar Department handed a letter to the county, saying that a murderer committed murder in the street and seriously injured several Turks, including a Golden Horde nobleman. The www.biquge.info Tang Dynasty and the Turks are brothers, and now that such a bad case has occurred in this county, of course this county cannot ignore it. According to the Tang law, if a commoner injures a nobleman, he should be given a staff of fifty rods, a black face, and a hundred miles. Considering that the murderer injured the Turkic nobles, which was not defined in the Tang law, the county decided to cite the old case of Dali Temple in the time of Gaozong, and the old case of the eldest son of Wei Zuopingzhang who injured the eldest son of Wei Zuopingzhang in Chang'an City, and handed the murderer over to the Turks for disposal. The county interrogated again and again yesterday, and only knew that the murderer was a seven-foot man with dark skin and beard, the upper body was the most ordinary white linen short shirt, and the lower body was soap-dyed homespun trousers common in the countryside. ”
Zhao Fenghuo's heart suddenly shuddered, he didn't know how much Lu Xianling knew, and he didn't even know if he already knew which person was Zhang Xin. In an instant, Zhao Fenghuo had countless thoughts in his heart, and began to frantically speculate about the intentions of Lu County's order. If Lu Xianling knew that it was Zhang Xin, then did he know that Zhang Xin was Zhang Yi's younger brother? If so, why make such a fuss? Could it be ...... He wants to use this incident to move Zhang Yi to? But what's in it for him? Yes, although Dingbian County is a poor county, it is also Liangzhou's battle against Tubo, Turkic, Hui, and the three markets.
The more Zhao Fenghuo thought about it, the worse it became, and he secretly regretted it in his heart, he knew that he should have let Ashin leave quickly yesterday, he usually looked at Lu Xianling as just a boy who fought cocks, but he didn't expect that this boy brother really had two times, and it was Tang Lu and Dali Temple who squeezed him speechlessly. This is bad, if Ashin is handed over to the Turks according to what the surname Lu said, how can Ashin be alive? How will I explain to Zhang Yi when the time comes? Although Zhao Fenghuo's heart was in a hurry, he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, and gritted his teeth and said, "Lu County Order, so what?" That day, I took the arrester to the scene to check, and the murderer had already run away. Besides, this is just a civil dispute, so what does it have to do with you beating the drum for no reason? Could it be that the important weapon of the state is to satisfy your own selfish interests? ”
Nalu County Commander put down the teacup and smiled at Zhao Fenghuo, "Don't worry, listen to me continue, in addition to those just now, this murderer has another characteristic, that is, he is wearing thick-soled brown-patterned boots unique to government soldiers, in addition, Zhao County Lieutenant, you are dishonest, I know that the murderer has not run away at least so far, but it is a little difficult to distinguish him from the hundreds of government soldiers in the county, so I specially called them over." As an aside, County Lieutenant Zhao, it shouldn't be that you know the murderer, right? ”
At this time, it was only the time when the three-way drum and half a pillar of incense were gone, and all the soldiers in the entire county town were all on this school field, consciously lined up in a neat phalanx, from the point of view of the platform, horizontally, vertically, and obliquely, it was a straight line, and these hundreds of people were fat and thin, tall and short, but they all looked in the same direction with their eyes, and did not make even the slightest sound.
Zhao Fenghuo stood at the front of the phalanx, although Zhao Fenghuo was no longer a member of the government soldiers, but after all, he had been a Dubo and had a great reputation, so a group of government soldiers consciously stood behind him.
Lu Xianling's big eyes looked at Zhao Fenghuo carelessly, Zhao Fenghuo never thought that this boy's eyes were so sharp, and gradually Zhao Fenghuo had a little cold sweat oozing out behind him, and he involuntarily lowered his head slowly. was silent for a while, raised his head and looked directly into Lu Xianling's eyes: "Yes, I know him." But so what? It has been nearly 50 years since I became an army in the Wude period, and I have never heard a song or a precedent for a group to hand over their brothers to the enemy, and this kind of thing has not happened in the past, will not happen now, and will never happen in the future. ”
"Oh?" Lu Xian Ling raised his eyebrows, "To try and judge cases, you need to pay attention to real evidence, not buddy righteousness." The human and material evidence in this case is conclusive, there are Tang laws, there are Dali Temple criminal cases, this is an iron case, this county, as a local parent, has the responsibility to judge the case according to the Tang law, Zhao County Lieutenant, do you want to obstruct the county from judging the case? ”
"Don't dare." At this time, Zhao Fenghuo had already fallen into the disadvantage, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, "The county lord doesn't have to buckle such a big hat on my head, I can't stand the small one." But please think twice, I set countless warriors in the border army to shed their blood for the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the land of Liangzhou, that inch does not have the flesh and blood of my Dingbian people? The brothers did not want their lives in the front, but someone stabbed them in the back, and if this is the case, the hearts of the Dingbian army will be scattered. ”
Lu Xianling chuckled, "Okay, since you talk to me about favors, then I will also talk about favors for you." The Turks are my allies of the Tang Dynasty, this is the decision of the court, and now someone has injured the Turkic nobles for no reason, or is it seriously injured, what do you make our allies? How can you make Datang decent? Don't talk about it from afar, just say that if I join forces with the Turks to attack Tibet, the Tatar Ministry will hold a grudge because of this matter and will not contribute to the work, resulting in our defeat in Tibet, you say, are you and I the sinners of the Tang Dynasty? Therefore, County Lieutenant Zhao, you should broaden your horizons and look at the overall situation. ”
Zhao Fenghuo's chest rose and fell violently, and he said hatefully: "County Zun, whatever you say, I, Zhao Fenghuo, am a rough person, the most stupid, I can't say anything about you." But if you want to hand over your brother to a foreign clan, I, Zhao Fenghuo, will not accept it! ”
"Hey......" County Commander Lu sighed, "Look at you, I'll tell you about Tang Law, you tell me about human favors, I will tell you about human favors, and you are playing scoundrels with me." You say you'...... Let's put it this way, I'm just a small county magistrate, who can only take charge of civil affairs, and I don't know anything about military affairs. At best, it's a hundred-mile talent, if you don't accept it, even if you go to the Assassin's Mansion or the Marching Governor's Mansion to complain, as long as an adult says I'm not, I will immediately push the Turkic paper, do you think it's okay? Ignoring Zhao Fenghuo, he raised his eyes to look at the dense crowd of people under the stage, nodded with satisfaction, put down the teacup, and gently slapped his palms three times, two Turkic people walked to the stage, and one of the Turkic men wearing a cowhide shirt took the lead in saluting and said: "Hello, respected Lu nobles of the Tang Empire, on behalf of the ****** Tatar Department and the Turkic Golden Horde, the great Ashina clan salutes you, and may Changshengtian be with you." He straightened up, a short, fat Turkic man with a big beard, but not as dark-skinned as ordinary Turks, but white.
"You're okay, the Jin nobles of the Tatar Ministry," Lu Xian Ling stood up and straightened his robe, making a long gesture, "I apologize for the suffering caused to your brother by the murderer who appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and now that the murderer is in the audience, please go and identify it." As he spoke, he took the Turk's arm, "Please! ”
The Turkic also followed the example of Lu Xian Ling and grabbed his arm, "Please!" ”
