Chapter Twenty-Four
The eunuchs in a province are all powerful figures, who have the privilege of making small reports, and never take those feudal officials in their eyes. Gonggong Zhao stood outside the gate, thinking that Yue Su would come out to greet him respectfully, but all he was waiting for was a reply from the soldiers. "Escort Li Hongyong in, please face the public kilometer."
It can be said that the phrase "father-in-law please" is still a word made up by others, which can be regarded as giving you face. Zhao Zhou saw that no one came to pick him up, and he was angry. But being angry is angry, people have to go in, while following the guards inside, while scolding Yue Su from head to toe in his heart. In total, when he goes back, he has to participate in Yue Su's book ruthlessly.
Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Zhou arched his hand and said very unceremoniously, "Our family has seen the governor." ”
Li Hongyong was pressed to his knees by the guards. Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed and said, "The last general will see the governor." ”
Yue Su still sat firmly behind the public case, glanced at Li Hongyong and Zhao Zhou, and said, "Is this father-in-law Zhao Gonggong who supervised the army in Henan?" ”
"It's our house." Zhao Zhou raised his head and said.
"Show Zhao's father-in-law."
Yue Su commanded, and an errand servant brought a chair and asked Zhao Zhou to sit down under Luo Zhenqiang's hand. Then I heard Yue Su say: "I don't know what is the important matter of Zhao's father-in-law coming to the headquarters?" ”
"I heard that my lord arrested Shi Wen, the eunuch of Luoyang's prison army, and he was under my control, so I want to ask my lord, which royal law did he violate?" Zhao Zhou said coldly.
"Leading troops to rob the imperial court for disaster relief grain and rice, is this considered a violation of the king's law?" Yue Su said with a smile.
"Leading troops to rob the imperial court for disaster relief, it's impossible, how can Shi Wen have such courage, our family thinks that someone must be slandered." Zhao Zhou also laughed.
"Really? The subordinates of the headquarters saw with their own eyes that it was Gonggong Shi who brought people to rob it, but Li Hongyong, the guerrilla general who guarded the grain and grass, not only did not stop it, but also sat idly by. Speaking of this, Yue Su looked at Li Hongyong, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and shouted: "Li Hongyong, are you guilty?" ”
Li Hongyong was startled and hurriedly said: "The end, the end will be guilty. It's just that...... It's just that it's not all about the end of the world...... It was Gonggong Shi who said...... These grains are Fuwang Chitose...... He came to help Fuwang Chitose bring it back...... One is King Fu...... One is the prison army...... I can't afford to offend the general......"
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Zhou followed and said: "Lord Yue, you also heard, General Li said that this grain is a thousand years old for King Fu, and Shi Wen just came forward to help the prince transport it back, what is the crime?" ”
"King Fu's? Which eye do you see that it belongs to the blessed king? This is the disaster relief food requisitioned by the Ministry and the Hospital! ”
"Smack!" Yue Su slapped the table and shouted: "Li Hongyong, the ministry has entrusted you with the important task of letting you take care of the disaster relief food, and the military order is like a mountain, do you know!" ”
"The last general knows......," Li Hongyong whispered.
"Knowing that the military order is like a mountain, why is it not loyal to his duties, but retreats from the battle, and sits back and watches the food being robbed! It seems that you are waiting for this group of timid and afraid people, what is the use of the imperial court staying! Come on, hang it on the flagpole to show the public, and when Shi Wen arrives, dispose of it together. ”
"Yes!" The messenger agreed, and walked out with Li Hongyong in his arms.
Li Hongyong shouted loudly: "My lord, the last general will be wronged. The last general has no choice, and he really doesn't dare to offend King Fu and Gonggong Shi. General Luo, Gonggong Zhao, please help the last general intercede......"
Luo Zhenqiang had the heart to invite him, but he really didn't have the guts, as for Zhao Zhou, how could he intercede for him. Everyone watched as Li Hongyong was escorted out of the big tent.
Coincidentally, Li Hongyong had just been escorted out, and in less than a moment, there was a report from the guards outside the tent that Shi Wen, the eunuch of the Luoyang Prison Army, had arrived.
"Bring in!"
Yue Su shouted, and soon, a middle-aged eunuch was escorted in. However, his treatment is much stronger than Li Hongyong, there are no soldiers to press, the robe on his body is neat, he entered the big tent, rushed to the top of his hand, and said: "Luoyang Supervisor Shi Wen see Governor Yue. ”
Yue Su snorted coldly and said, "Shi Wen, are you guilty?" ”
"We don't know." Shi Wen shook his head and said.
"You led the troops to loot the grain and rice of the imperial court for disaster relief, which is equivalent to rebellion, and now you have no regrets! Come, take off his robe, and press him to the ground for me. ”
"Yes!" Immediately, an errand rushed up, and reached out to pull Shi Wen's eunuch suit.
"You dare! Our family is the imperial court supervisor, who dares to pick my clothes! Do you want to rebel? Shi Wen saw that those servants dared to pick off his clothes, and he was in a hurry, and he screamed with all his might.
Those errand soldiers were really frightened, and they let go of their hands in fright, Shi Wen straightened his clothes, raised his head, and glared at Yue Su is eyes. Just about to speak, he heard Zhao Zhou on the side say first: "Lord Yue, Shi Wen is a prisoner appointed by the emperor, even if he is guilty, his robe, without the permission of the emperor, does not mean that he can be picked, how can he be decided." Besides, the adults just listened to one side of the story, and they wanted to convict Shi Wen, which is really out of line with the law. No matter what, I have to listen to his explanation. ”
"Gonggong Zhao is half right. The ministry really shouldn't have listened to one side of the story, so it convicted Shi Gonggong in vain, and should listen to his explanation. But..."Yue Su suddenly stretched out his hand, and the golden cicada on the side immediately understood, and handed the Shang Fang sword in his arms to Yue Su. Yue Su hugged him in his arms, and his voice became stern, "The headquarters is patrolling the heavens, and Your Majesty has given Shang Fang the sword, seeing this sword is like Your Majesty coming in person!" ”
Seeing Yue Su show out Shang Fang's sword, the people on his side immediately knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Seeing this situation, Shi Wen also had to kneel down and say, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Zou Jiaren, Luo Zhenqiang, and Zhao Zhou don't need to say it, the people in the tent are all kneeling, if they don't kneel, won't they be pressed to a hat of bullying and disrespect, and there is no place to be reasonable. Quickly get up and kneel down, and the mountain shouts long live.
Seeing everyone kneeling, Yue Su sneered in his heart, and then said sharply: "Gonggong Zhao, you just said that if you want to deal with the eunuchs of the prison army, you need to ask Your Majesty for advice. Now I'll tell you, no! His Majesty gave three bronze guillotins, and the dragon head can behead the emperor's relatives and relatives, phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren; The tiger head can behead corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and bring disaster to the country; The dog head can kill the local tyrant and the bully, and the market is a scoundrel! The headquarters even killed the emperor's relatives and relatives, not to mention a eunuch who supervised the army. As long as the evidence is conclusive, you will not be stabbed in the head! ”
Hearing Yue Su's words, Shi Wen, who was originally unscrupulous, couldn't help but stand on end, and even Zhao Zhou's heart chuckled.
Yue Su put on a majestic face, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone get up." It's cool on the ground. ”
With these words, everyone in the tent stood up one after another, and Zou Jiaren returned to his original position and sat down. At this time, I only heard Yue Su say: "Shi Wen, the headquarters came to ask you, why did you have the audacity to set up troops and rob the imperial court for disaster relief?" ”
"Back to the adult, it's not that the little one wants to rob, it's the Fu prince who told the villain that it was his family's food, and let the villain help him get it back. The little one is ...... Bring people here...... Transporting the grain back...... "Shi Wen now, in front of Yue Su, no longer dares to call himself our family.
"Hahahaha......" Yue Su laughed out loud after hearing this. Then he slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Sophistry! This grain is guarded by the officers and soldiers of the court, and when you arrive, will you not see it? Didn't the officers and soldiers guarding the grain and grass tell you that this is the disaster relief food that the headquarters and courtyard transported here? Besides, why was you, a supervisor of the imperial court, sent by a vassal king, and the emperor sent you to Luoyang, did he let you listen to the call of King Fu? The eunuch of the prison army, privately befriending the vassal king, do you know what the crime is? ”
Yue Su asked questions like a cannonball, and Shi Wen, who asked, was speechless and couldn't answer a word. Especially the last question, which made Shi Wen even more confused. Not to mention him, even his godfather Zhao Zhou was frightened, I really couldn't imagine that this minister of the Qin Mission, with such a powerful mouth, pinched the key points every sentence, if this crime was confirmed for Shi Wen, even if Shi Wen had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off. But now that he wants to help Shi Wen defend, he doesn't know how to speak.
Inside the big tent, there was silence at the moment, and all that could be heard was Shi Wen's heartbeat. Yue Su waited for a moment, and said suddenly: "Come on, escort Li Hongyong to me." ”
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately went out of the tent and ordered Li Hongyong to be put into the big tent. After Li Hongyong came in, he saw that Shi Wen was also there, as if he had picked up a life-saving straw, and cried loudly: "Gonggong Shi, you have to save the young general." At that time, you said that if something happens, you will bear it. Just let the Governor find you. ”
When Shi Wen heard this at this time, he couldn't wait to kick Li Hongyong to death, he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, how can he have the ability to manage others. Suo closed his eyes.
Li Hongyong was pressed to his knees at the foot of the steps. He couldn't say anything like saying something like saying goodbye, so Yue Su shouted: "Li Hongyong! As a guerrilla general of the imperial court, you are familiar with military discipline, but you knowingly commit a crime and sit back and watch the imperial court's disaster relief grain and rice being robbed. The ministry ordered you to go and recover the stolen goods, but instead of going, you absconded in fear of crime, and now the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what else do you have to say? ”
Li Hongyong is not a fool, seeing that Shi Wen didn't say a word, he already understood that the other party was afraid that it would be difficult to protect himself. Hurriedly cried loudly: "My lord...... The last general will be guilty, and I hope that the adults will show mercy outside the law, and spare the last general's life......"
"It's late! When you sat back and watched the military rations being robbed, why didn't you expect this day? The victims on both sides of the Yellow River are living by pointing to these grains, you are derelict in your duties, you are a bad man, and it is not enough to be angry if you don't kill you! As he spoke, Yue Su suddenly stood up and shouted, "Someone! Tiger head waiting! ”
"Yes!"
Tie Qiu is now in charge of opening the head and killing the head, and Jin Cicada is responsible for pressing people to the edge of the knife, these two brothers were in Huaiqing City a few days ago, killing countless corrupt officials and local tyrants and bullies, they are too addicted. At this moment, as soon as he heard that he was going to use the guillotine again, he was very excited, and he said yes with his throat, and took the errand to move the tiger head to Li Hongyong.
But there was a little episode today, when the golden cicada was about to pass, Yin Zhu rushed forward and pulled him back. whispered: "Brother, change me today." Next time you go up. "It turned out to be this guy, who saw that he had a lot of fun killing people that day, and he also wanted to go up and join in the fun.
Seeing that he was rushing to get on, Jin Chan had no choice but to nod and retreat.
"My lord's life...... Adults spare their lives......"
Seeing the tiger head move in front of him, Li Hongyong completely collapsed and shouted hoarsely. But who would heed his shouts?
Then, I heard Yue Su shouting loudly: "Open the guillotine!" ”
