Chapter 312: Nine Deaths and One Life
When he entered the prison, Liu Bingzhong was discouraged, and at this moment he thought of Wang Wentong, who was also imprisoned in the prison. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If it weren't for the felony of murder and overkill, he wouldn't have entered the prison, and entering it meant that there was no way out.
Liu Bingzhong has a trace of regret, but he will not show anything to the Buddha, and he is unusually calm.
The terrible thing about the prison is not that the environment is bad, but the ruthlessness of the jailers, many people who are imprisoned in the prison have not waited for promotion, and their lives have been more than half gone, and there is an exception, that is, there are family members who can take out money, and the life in the prison is a little more nourishing.
Liu Bingzhong does not have such conditions, but he is a Qin prisoner, and he will not encounter inhuman torture in a short period of time, such an important Qin prisoner, the Great Khan may personally interrogate him, and the jailer will not touch the mold.
Three days passed, Liu Bingzhong, who was wearing shackles, did not say a word, and he ate very little, although he was accustomed to a light and peaceful life, but the bad diet in the prison still made him unaccustomed to it.
Liu Bingzhong understood that before the Great Khan interrogated him, it was impossible for anyone to come to the prison to see him, and it was better to wait quietly than to be anxious.
Zhongdu, the Imperial Palace.
Kublai Khan didn't have any expression on his face, and looked at Ahma, who was gushing.
It was Liu Bingzhong who was impeached by Ahma, and in Ahma's mouth, Liu Bingzhong had become a heinous person, and he had to be executed, and it was not an exaggeration to even divide the body of the five horses.
Zhang Rou returned to the Song Dynasty court, Zhang Rou's family fled, all these charges were poured on Liu Bingzhong's body, you must know that Liu Bingzhong is responsible for the follow-up affairs of Kaiping City, Zhang Rou's family can calmly escape from Kaiping City, Liu Bingzhong's crime is unforgivable, which fully shows that Liu Bingzhong has long colluded with Zhang Rou.
Ahma's impeachment is full of loopholes, and the most unreasonable thing is that since Liu Bingzhong helped Zhang Rou's family escape, why didn't he flee, and he didn't even dismiss the subordinates in the mansion, waiting to be raided, the guards had already reported it, Liu Bingzhong had been at home all the time, and he didn't go anywhere, and the investigation from Kaiping City also came out, Liu Bingzhong almost didn't care about anything in Kaiping City, rarely went out, and there was no way to talk about colluding with Zhang Rou's family.
Of course, Liu Bingzhong has always recommended Zhang Rou, and even suggested that Zhang Rou be appointed as the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu.
Ahma's impeachment, full of loopholes, has not met with any rebuttal, and everyone understands at this moment that refuting Ahmad means that he is Liu Bingzhong's comrade.
Most of the Han ministers in the court stood solemnly below, listening to Ahma's impeachment.
Zhang Wenqian, Yao Shu, Gao E, and seventy-year-old Dou Mo all listened silently below.
This is the emperor's arrangement, and everyone must listen.
Zhang Wenqian, the leader, has always lowered his head, Liu Bingzhong has been imprisoned in the prison, what will be the outcome, it is not clear, but after this incident, the Han ministers in the court will suffer a heavy blow, thinking that Hao Jing and Liu Bingzhong were the two Han ministers who were most valued by the emperor, but now it is such a scene.
Ahmad was impassioned, and spoke for half an hour before he stopped.
"The minister agrees with Prime Minister Zuo's impeachment...
A voice came out, and a voice and shadow also stood up.
Zhang Wenqian's body trembled slightly, he looked up at the person who stood up, quickly lowered his head, and the rest of the Han ministers looked at this person, and a few Han ministers also stood up and agreed to Ahma's impeachment.
The person who stood up was Yan Zhongfan.
Zhang Wenqian, Yao Shu, Gao E, Dou Mo and others did not make any moves, still lowered their heads and did not express their position.
Kublai Khan had always paid attention to Zhang Wenqian and others, and the situation he expected did not arise.
Looking at Yan Zhongfan and the others, Kublai Khan waved his hand impatiently.
At the end of the early dynasty, Kublai Khan did not directly express his position, how to deal with Liu Bingzhong, it seems that Kublai Khan has not made up his mind, which makes Zhang Wenqian and others even more worried.
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, at this moment, Zhang Wenqian and others have a personal feeling, if you want to say that Liu Bingzhong colluded with Zhang Rou's family, everyone will not believe it if they are killed, Liu Bingzhong is not such a person, and his noble character makes him not do this.
It's a pity that Zhang Rou returned to the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Rou's family escaped easily, all of which shows that Zhang Rou was premeditated, otherwise it would not have been possible to do it so perfectly.
I am afraid that this is what Kublai Khan was most angry about, and the taste of being played by others was unpleasant, and Kublai Khan could not bear it.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Wenqian and others dare not speak for Liu Bingzhong, as long as anyone speaks, Liu Bingzhong's fate may be even more miserable.
After the next dynasty, Zhang Wenqian and others did not look at Yan Zhongfan, originally Yan Zhongfan was also considered to be a relatively outstanding among the Han ministers, but it is a pity that today's performance has covered up all the previous excellence.
Stepping on other people's shoulders to climb up is not uncommon in the court, but it also depends on what the situation is, if you can't protect yourself, and you still hope to climb up, that's what a fool can do.
Two days later, Kublai Khan finally issued an order to bring Liu Bingzhong to the court for questioning.
The inquiry was carried out in the palace, which is also a rare situation, and it is a bad situation, when he was in Kaiping City, Wang Wentong was asked in the lobby.
When Liu Bingzhong was brought in, the court hall was unusually quiet.
Liu Bingzhong, who was pale, looked very calm, although his hair was a little unkempt.
No one looked at Liu Bingzhong, they all lowered their heads.
When he came to the court and saw Kublai Khan, Liu Bingzhong still knelt down and kowtowed.
It's a pity that Kublai Khan didn't speak.
The last brother of the prince stood up and began to ask Liu Bingzhong.
"Liu Bingzhong, you are guilty."
"Guilty."
Brother Mo was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously spoke again.
"Tell me what your sins are."
"The criminal minister has two major crimes, one is the failure of the recommender, the sinner has recommended Zhang Rou many times, before that, the minister has also recommended Wang Wentong, these are the sinner's negligence, resulting in the emperor being deceived, the sinner deserves to die, the second is management, causing Zhang Rou's family to flee, the sinner is responsible for the aftermath of Kaiping City, and he has not been able to do his best, there has been a major mistake, the sinner deserves death. . ."
Don't say that Brother Mo was surprised, even Kublai Khan looked at Liu Bingzhong.
Ahma on the side, a smile appeared on his face, it was a smile of victory.
Brother Mo's face was very ugly, and after Liu Bingzhong finished speaking, he continued to speak.
"Clever words, it is clear that you colluded with Zhang Rou, tricked Zhang Rou into returning to the Song Dynasty, and helped Zhang Rou's family escape, and came here, and you are still so justified...
Liu Bingzhong raised his head and watched Brother Mo speak.
"Brother Mo, the sinner did not collude with Zhang Rou, and the sinner did not know about Zhang Rou's return to the Song Dynasty."
Brother Mo is not a fool, and he knows that some crimes cannot be forced, so he changed the subject.
"It's easy to say, since you are in charge of the aftermath of Kaiping City, how can you not know about Zhang Rou's family's escape, if it is not your acquiescence, can Zhang Rou's family easily escape."
All eyes were on Liu Bingzhong, which was the most difficult question for Liu Bingzhong to answer.
Liu Bingzhong's expression was still calm, and he looked at Ahma on the right.
"The sinner is indeed responsible for many aftermath matters in Kaiping City, but what sinners can do and what they can't do, are arranged, the soldiers of Kaiping City, sinners have no right to dispatch, many officials and their families enter and leave the city, sinners have no right to interfere, what sinners can do is to wait quietly at home, if the prince thinks that sinners are lying, they can go to Kaiping City to investigate, sinners have a lie, they are willing to die, and there is no complaint. . . ."
Brother Mo's face became a little ugly, he must know the mystery in this.
。。。
Kublai Khan kept staring at Liu Bingzhong, and the anger in his heart didn't know how to dissolve a lot.
Kublai Khan never believed in Ahma's impeachment, he knew that Liu Bingzhong was not that kind of person, but all the anger needed to be vented, and where it needed to erupt, just like the rebellion of Li Pu in Shandong, Wang Wentong eventually became the flashpoint.
But Liu Bingzhong's attitude made Kublai Khan suddenly think of something, this time Zhang Rou returned to the Song Dynasty, the real culprit is he Kublai Khan, forcing Zhang Rou to send him to death, people may have no way to defect, such a big thing, Liu Bingzhong has no way to arrange, as for Zhang Rou's family to flee Kaiping City, it cannot be said that Liu Bingzhong did not know at all, but Liu Bingzhong has been pressed by Ahma, without any power, almost in Kaiping City to idle, in such a situation, How can it be possible to care about things in the outside world.
Zhang Rou's family all fled, all the subordinates in the mansion were disbanded, and the captured subordinates didn't know anything, if Liu Bingzhong colluded with Zhang Rou, I am afraid that he would have been prepared a long time ago.
Kublai Khan knew Liu Bingzhong and trusted his own judgment even more.
After Brother Mo finished asking, Liu Bingzhong's answer was polite and courteous, without hoarse excuses, and assumed the responsibility that should be borne, which is much more transparent than Wang Wentong at the beginning.
Kublai Khan's heart moved.
"Temporarily imprisoned in the prison, waiting to be disposed of."
When Kublai Khan's words came out, Ahma's face changed, he looked at Liu Bingzhong viciously, eager to eat Liu Bingzhong raw, he thought that Liu Bingzhong had slipped and won the emperor's sympathy.
However, Ahma didn't dare to speak at the moment, he also knew the emperor's temperament.
There is still a way, let the jailer torture Liu Bingzhong, and let Liu Bingzhong commit suicide in the prison.
Zhang Wenqian and the others still kept their heads down, not knowing what to think.
No one would have thought that Liu Bingzhong had been reminded in advance to behave like this, if it was according to his previous loyalty, he would definitely argue loudly, and even quarrel with Ahma and others in court, if such a situation occurs, then Liu Bingzhong is really a dead end.
When he was taken away from the court, Liu Bingzhong's heart suddenly brightened, he found the direction, that Wu Shaogang in Sichuan, I am afraid that he should really do his best to assist, but unfortunately I don't know if there is a chance. (To be continued.) )
