Liu Zeshen hurriedly went out of work and knelt down under the Danqi, raised his teeth and said: "Long live, yesterday it was the bearded man of the thousand generals of Datong Town, according to the information provided by Zhao Wuzhu, the deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, the minister sent people to conduct many verifications, and it is certain that the bearded man is indeed a deserter who was defeated on the battlefield of Songshan. ”

"Fart!" Wang Pu shouted angrily, "How did the bearded man, such a good soldier with affection and righteousness, become a deserter!?" ”

"Presumptuous! Wang Pu, you're going too far. Liu Zeshen was so angry that his beard trembled, and he scolded with his dry fingers, "You are a guilty body, and you dare to roar the Golden Palace, you don't have the outline of national law and discipline in your eyes, and is there any distinction between superior and inferior?" ”

"Fuck you down." Wang Pu scolded back without any image, "This general army led a lone army deep into Liaodong, and all around were Jiannu, and the upper and lower levels can be eaten as food?" Can you help us kill slaves? Now that we have died nine times for life, we finally returned to Daming alive, but you, a faint official, can't help but say that we will be accused of desertion and beheaded, is your conscience let the dog bite? ”

"You, you ......"

Liu Ze was so angry that he trembled all over, and he couldn't say a word.

"That's enough." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly, "Don't mess around on the Golden Palace!" ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Pu again: "Wang Pu, you said that this bearded man is your soldier, he once followed you to Liaodong, and he was the first Ming soldier to enter Shengjing City, who else can testify to this matter besides you?" ”

Wang Pu said solemnly: "Long live, the soldiers who returned to Daming with their ministers can testify!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen asked Liu Zeshen again: "Liu Zeshen, you said that the bearded man is a deserter, who can testify?" ”

Liu Zeshen responded: "Zhao Wuzhu, deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, can testify. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a moment, and then asked Zhou Yanru: "Zhou Aiqing, what do you think of this case?" ”

Zhou Yanru came out of the crowd and said loudly: "Long live, in order to save the bearded man, General Wang did not hesitate to resist the decree first and then rob the law field, but Zhao Wuzhu, the deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, fled from Songshan with more than 10,000 troops on the eve of the war. ”

"Hooray." Liu Zongzhou hurriedly came out of the class and said, "This is just Zhou Yanru's speculation, not enough to rely on, the minister thinks that the bearded case is still handed over to the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Dali Temple for retrial." However, no matter what the outcome of the retrial of the bearded case is, Wang Pu first resisted the decree and then led troops to rob the court, but the facts are undeniable, and the minister thinks that he should be severely punished. ”

"Hooray." Li Banghua, the imperial history of the right capital, also went out and echoed, "Not killing Wang Pu is not enough to correct the law of the country, not killing Wang Pu is not enough to make the people angry, and not killing Wang Pu is not enough to thank the world!" ”

The two of them spoke, and the imperial historians came out one after another to echo it.

"Wang Pu." Emperor Chongzhen asked in a deep voice, "What else do you have to say now?" ”

"The minister has nothing to say." Wang Pu said proudly, "Kechen wants to know how his soldiers will be dealt with? ”

Li Banghua said sharply: "Robbing the law field is a rebellion, your subordinates are acting for the tiger, the crime is unforgivable, and they should be killed according to the law!" ”

"Hooray." Wang Pu suddenly took out the death-free gold medal from his arms, knelt on the ground and said quickly, "The soldiers under the ministers are just acting on orders, and this matter is caused by the ministers and has nothing to do with them, and these more than 50 soldiers are all elite soldiers of the Ming Empire, and the ministers are willing to exchange the death-free gold medal for their lives!" ”

"You're going to trade their lives for a gold medal for death-free?" Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, "Wang Pu, you have to think about it, you only have a death-free gold medal in your hand, and if you use it to save the lives of your soldiers, then your own life will not be saved!" ”

"Wang Pu." Chen Xinjia was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and reminded in a low voice, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"I'm not confused, I'm sober now." Wang Pu said solemnly, "Long live, the minister is willing to exchange the gold medal for the lives of more than 50 soldiers under his command!" ”

There was silence in the main hall, and all the officials looked at Wang Pu in surprise.

They really couldn't figure it out, why did Wang Pu do this? Just to save those fifty or so irrelevant soldiers, is it worth his life to pay for his surname? In fact, they didn't know that Wang Pu had his own principles, and his principle was never to sacrifice his women or brothers in life and death in exchange for glory and wealth.

Wang Pu doesn't want to die, but he is not afraid of death!

Let Wang Pu choose one between love and life, he will not hesitate to choose the former, in Wang Pu's view, if a person is unkind, then he will lose friends, lose love, and eventually lose all the joy of life, if so, then there is no point in living in this world.

"Accurate!" In the suffocating wait, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly shouted, "Liu Zeshen." ”

Liu Zeshen hurriedly stepped out and responded: "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Chongzhen threw the recovered gold medal on the Golden Palace, and said coldly: "Release people immediately." ”

Liu Zeshen took two steps forward to pick up the gold medal for avoiding death, and said respectfully: "Minister...... Command. ”

Emperor Chongzhen glared at Wang Pu fiercely, and shouted: "Escort Wang Pu back to the prison, and choose to send it again!" ”

Stacking these words, Emperor Chongzhen got up and walked away, Wang Chengen hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted in a sharp voice: "Retreat to the ......"

Emperor Chongzhen will be really popular, if Wang Pu takes out the gold medal to excuse himself, Emperor Chongzhen will just go down the slope and spare him, and this turmoil will be regarded as over! But what Emperor Chongzhen never expected was that Wang Pu would give up such a chance to survive for the sake of more than fifty insignificant pawns!

Wang Pu's choice directly pushed Emperor Chongzhen into a very awkward position, putting Emperor Chongzhen in a dilemma.

Don't hold Wang Pu accountable, it is a capital crime to resist the decree and rob the law field, Liu Zongzhou, these imperial historians, will definitely hold on to it, really kill Wang Pu, not to mention the loss of a member of the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen's face will not be recovered, after all, he has announced in front of hundreds of officials that he wants to marry Princess Changping to Wang Pu.

In such a way, Emperor Chongzhen could only escort Wang Pu back to the prison first.

■■■

The Penal Department Prison.

Scarface, Xiao Qi, Bearded and others were anxiously waiting for news from Wang Pu, when the closed iron door suddenly opened, and the two jailers slowly entered the prison and asked, "Who is Bearded?" ”

The bearded man hurriedly dragged his shackles forward and said, "The villain is." ”

The jailer grabbed the chain around the beard's neck and said loudly: "Your case has been remanded to the Criminal Department for retrial, so you can't leave yet, and others can go." ”

"Can we go?" Scarface was stunned, "You mean all of us?" ”

"How?" The jailer said impatiently, "Are you reluctant to leave?" ”

"No, of course not." Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "We just want to know, isn't this robbery of the Dharma Field a capital crime, why did you let us out?" ”

The jailer said: "Let me tell you the truth, General Soldier Wang saved you with the death-free gold medal given to him by the Lord of Long Live Lord." ”

Scarface asked anxiously, "The general saved us with the gold medal for avoiding death, what about him?" ”

"Mr. Wang? He was taken back to the prison again. The jailer couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he said this, and praised, "If you want to say that this Wang Zongbing is really a gentleman!" Lao Tzu has been on an errand in the prison of the Criminal Department for decades, and there are too many civil and military generals to come and go, but like Wang Zongbing, Lao Tzu is really the first time to see him. ”

Another jailer also said sincerely: "Mr. Wang is really a gentleman! ”

Xiao Qi asked urgently: "Did the two masters hear any rumors, and how will the Long Live Lord deal with my general?" ”

"The jury is still out." The jailer shook his head and said, "I just heard that for the sake of General Wang's soldiers, the civil and military officials in the court have made a lot of noise!" If you want to say that Mr. Wang's contribution is greater than that of the sky, but the trouble he caused is not small, and it is difficult to say what the final result will be, so you can wait slowly after you go out. ”

"Let's go, let's go." Another jailer urged, "Hurry up." ”

Scarface turned back to the bearded man and said, "Bearded, that brother will go first." ”

The bearded man nodded and responded, "Scarface, don't forget what I told you last night!" ”

"I can't forget it."

Scarface replied indifferently, but there was a hint of hideousness in his eyes.

After everyone fell asleep last night, the bearded man had discussed with Scarface that if things really reached the point of no return, then they would first escape from prison, and then go to rob the prison, rescue Wang Pu, and finally fight Yanjing together, as for the chance of winning in this way, they didn't bother to think about it.
