Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Truth Revealed
Liu Bentang stared at Wang Xiaoyi, who was being protected, his eyes were full of threat, and he turned sideways to give Xia Zhen a fist to confess, and then slowly retreated to the side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Can I think that Lord Liu is threatening my witnesses? This is the big tent of the Chinese army, and Lord Xia and Lord Chen are also here to listen! When Commander Liu said this, did he tell everyone that you have any ulterior secrets that my witnesses know? Gao Huaiyuan stepped forward, stared at Liu Bentang with his eyes, and asked Liu Bentang in a mocking tone.
Liu Bentang was already shocked and angry at this time, his face was like a dead man, he didn't dare to face Gao Huaiyuan, he had already begun to regret it at this time, he knew it was so, why should he not get along with Gao Huaiyuan in the first place? So much so that now that I have such a field, it seems that it is impossible to clean it up! He couldn't wait to pounce at this moment and strangle Gao Huaiyuan to death, but judging from Gao Huaiyuan's action of knocking over Li Dali just now, he knew that he was definitely not Gao Huaiyuan's opponent, and now even if he wanted to fight to break the net, he had no chance.
Seeing that Liu Bentang was silent, just secretly looking at himself with resentful eyes, Gao Huaiyuan showed a bright smile, and then said: "Since Commander Liu cares so much about Wang Xiaoyi's family, then I might as well tell Commander Liu that Wang Xiaoyi's family has already been sent to a safe place, so I won't bother you anymore Commander Liu!" Wang Xiaoyi! Now you can rest assured, as long as the official is alive, no one can do anything to you, just say what you know! Today, with Lord Xia in charge of you, no matter what you have done before, you can be forgiven for your innocence! ”
Wang Xiaoyi, supported by Li Ruohu, struggled to sit up on the stretcher, glanced at Gao Huaiyuan gratefully, and then hugged his fists and said to Xia Zhen: "Little Wang Xiaoyi thanks to the palace marshal and Yu Hou, Dutong adults for their grace of not killing, please forgive the little ones for their injuries, I can't give the adults full courtesy, since Gao Dutong is so kind to the little ones, then the little ones will say all the things!" ”
"You dare! ......" Liu Bentang and his generals almost shouted in unison after hearing this.
Wang Xiaoyi glanced at Liu Bentang and the others, who were very inward-looking, showed a look of contempt, and sneered: "This is all your unkindness, so the little one is also unjust!" You can only blame yourself! Now what can you be to me? ”
Xia Zhen suddenly shouted: "Presumptuous! Liu Bentang! You don't take your own officials too seriously, do you? Come on, unload the waist knife of Liu Bentang and others! It's all for the official to rush to the side to listen to the trial! ”
With Xia Zhen's angry shout, a group of soldiers immediately rushed in outside the tent, rushed into Liu Bentang's group, and confiscated the waist knives and swords they carried, and then drove them to a corner of the big tent with knives and guns and squeezed them together.
Gao Huaiyuan hugged Xia Zhen, expressed his gratitude to Xia Zhen, and said to Wang Xiaoyi: "Wang Xiaoyi, now you can rest assured!" ”
After Wang Xiaoyi glanced at Liu Bentang's group of people again, with the support of Li Ruohu, he sat on the stretcher and said: "Enlighten all the adults, this matter has to start from the thirteenth year of Jiading four years ago......
In this way, Wang Xiaoyi told the story of how Liu Bentang colluded inside and outside to sell the armor of the Holy Protector Army over the years, and the details were not missed at all, and many things were even accurate to what day they happened.
Wang Xiaoyi said that several specially arranged civilian personnel next to him were carrying notes like flying with their pens, and recorded all of Wang Xiaoyi's confessions word for word.
Wang Xiaoyi spoke for nearly an hour before he explained these things clearly, and then added: "My lords, originally a few of the little ones were all cronies of Liu Bentang and his subordinates, but this time we never expected that in order to destroy the evidence, they would actually kill us. Hiding in a boat on the river, four days ago Wang Fusheng took some people, prepared some wine and food, arrived on our boat, while I was unprepared, we were killed, and then we were thrown into the river, intending to destroy the corpse, fortunately there was a boat passing nearby, the small one was able to save this little life, and I hope you can make decisions for us! Saying that, Wang Xiaoyi cried bitterly.
During Wang Xiaoyi's statement in the big tent, except for Liu Bentang's wolf howl, he howled two voices from time to time, threatening Wang Xiaoyi or scolding Wang Xiaoyi for fart, the rest of the people were silent, quietly listening to Wang Xiaoyi's statement, and at the end, even Liu Bentang didn't have the strength to jump, and a group of people collapsed on the ground, one by one, like a mourner, each with a dead face.
"Come on, tie up Liu Bentang and others for me and put them in prison!" After Xia Zhen listened to Wang Xiaoyi's statement, he stood up with an angry face and shouted angrily.
Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed up and took off the armor and scarbs of Liu Bentang and others, wiped their shoulders and tied their arms, and threw them in front of the handsome case one by one.
Xia Zhen asked Liu Bentang with an angry face: "Liu Bentang, do you still have anything to say now?" Why did the temple boss come out with a scum like you? For the sake of money, you are unscrupulous, and even the weapons and armor in the army dare to resell without authorization! Aren't you afraid of military law? ”
Liu Bentang was already about to pee at this time, knelt on the ground and kowtowed with his head on the ground, shouting like pounding garlic: "Don't believe this villain!" He must have been instructed by the high capital to slander us! Please let the palace marshal call the shots for the lower officials! ”
After listening to Liu Bentang's nonsense, Gao Huaiyuan walked in front of Liu Bentang with a sneer and said to him: "Lord Liu is still so hard-mouthed, so okay, this official will give you another surprise!" Come on, bring the sin to Fu Liang! ”
After saying that, a man with a cloak and a disheveled hair was immediately brought into the big tent, it turned out to be Fu Liang, the commander of the forward battalion who didn't come with Liu Bentang today, who was already covered in blood at this time, and looked panicked!
It turned out that after Gao Huaiyuan rescued Wang Xiaoyi, it was equivalent to the case record of Liu Bentang and others, last night this Fu Liang secretly went out of the camp to go home, but was arrested on the spot by the people he set up outside the camp, and under the torture of a night, this Fu Liang finally confessed that after promising to confess the facts, he could reduce the crime, and confessed to the arson and killing of Zhang Tiantong that night.
At this time, after Fu Liang was taken to the big tent, he didn't even dare to look at Liu Bentang, and after kneeling down and kowtowing to Xia Zhen, he immediately confessed to the fire in the camp of the Holy Protector Army that night, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
It turned out that at the third watch that night, a group of them first sneaked into Zhang Tiantong's tent, and deceived Zhang Tiantong into relaxing his vigilance in the name of deliberations, and then Li Dali suddenly strangled Zhang Tiantong's neck, and a group of people combined knives and sticks to beat Zhang Tiantong to death on the spot, and then moved the body to the horse feed yard at night, Fu Tong was also one of the participants, and set fire to the forage field at the same time, wanting to cover up their crimes with fire, and also wanted to create a big trouble for Gao Huaiyuan, making Gao Huaiyuan embarrassed.
After listening to Fu Tong's confession, Xia Zhen was even more furious, and kicked Liu Bentang to the ground with one kick around the handsome case, pointing at Liu Bentang and scolding: "Crazy...... You bastards don't have to die! It's not a pity to die! ”
Liu Bentang rolled on the ground, his whole body was cold, he knew that his people were completely finished today, no matter how he quibbled, now the human and physical evidence had already confirmed what they had done, and he wanted to turn over unless the gods descended to earth, so he no longer had the courage to quibble.
"Liu Bentang, fortunately, this time Gaodu Tongdong watched the fire and found out you corrupt people, if not, I don't know what kind of disobedience you will do! Now it can be said that the evidence is ironclad, I can't help you quibble, you and others will deal with it by your own Dali Temple, come to someone, give me a dam! Xia Zhen scolded again.
The soldiers immediately dragged Liu Bentang and others out, and pulled out the camp of the Holy Protector Army all the time, and went in the direction of Dali Temple in the city, such a big case and the official position of Liu Bentang and others, the front division of the palace can no longer be dealt with by military law alone, after the incident, it must be handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to approve the case, and the front division of the temple needs to be handed over after verification, so Xia Zhen does not dare to make a decision on his own, and can only be handed over to Dali Temple for disposal.
Looking at Liu Bentang and the others who were dragged out, Gao Huaiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that this time the battle for the control of the Holy Protector Army finally ended with him winning a big victory, and the result was that Liu Bentang's gang was afraid that they would face the fate of robbing their families, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the political struggle was really cruel, as long as they were not careful, they could become victims like Liu Bentang.
"Gao Dutong, can you please take a step to speak!" After Xia Zhen ordered someone to drag Liu Bentang away, he dismissed the others, walked to Gao Huaiyuan's side and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said politely: "What do you have to say to the palace marshal, even if you say it to the lower officials, don't be so polite!" ”
So Xia Zhen hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he turned to Gao Huaiyuan and said: "This is a long story, Gao Dutong dug out the nest of Liu Bentang and other rats this time, which is a great achievement, but this matter is for our palace front division......
