A few warriors like wolves and tigers made a violent promise, and soon, two people covered in blood were dragged in and thrown heavily to the ground, Wang Shiji looked at it fixedly, and gasped, one of them was a white-haired old man, he was not too impressed, but the other was in his thirties, and the person with a disheveled hair was clearly Yin Yiyuan, who he had sent out to hunt down and kill Huangfu Xiaohuan these days.

Wang Shiji was shocked, but Yang Jian's cold voice came from his ears: "Wang Shiji, you don't even know these two people, do you want me to help you reminisce about your memories?" ”

Wang Shiji hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Yin Yiyuan was indeed sent by the minister to monitor the fugitive Huangfu Xiaohuan's house, because this thief fled from the exile land of Guizhou, and the minister thought that he might escape back to his home in the capital, so he sent Yin Yiyuan, the minister's staff, and brought some soldiers to guard Huangfu Xiaohuan's home, preparing for him to take him down and send him to the criminal department as soon as he showed up!"

Yang Jian sneered: "Oh, Wang Zhuguo is so loyal, I am really moved, but this subordinate of yours seems to be different from what you said, look at what this is?" With a wave of Yang Jian's big hand, a piece of offering paper with a bloody handprint was thrown in front of Wang Shiji.

Wang Shiji picked up this confession paper, looked at it at a glance, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, only to see that Yin Yiyuan confessed how he plotted against him and intended to rebel, especially the two things mentioned, one is that he persuaded himself to divide when he went to Liangzhou, and he said that Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not the foundation of the king's tyrant, and the other is that he ordered Yin Yiyuan to stay in the home of Huangfu Xiaoxiao, and kill him when he sees it, so as to prevent future troubles!

Wang Shiji has not finished reading this confession. He shouted loudly: "Your Majesty." Wronged. This Yin Yiyuan wanted to rebel by himself, and he said that the minister supported the army and stood on his own, but the minister refused him with righteousness and solemnity, as for going to the emperor's filial piety's house, the minister really just ordered him to bring the emperor's filial piety back, but he didn't let him kill people!"

Yang Jian's voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion: "Oh, since this Yin Yiyuan had already plotted against him when he was in Liangzhou, you also sternly rejected him at that time." Why didn't you report it to the imperial court and continue to use this person? Even entrusted him with such an important task as the capture of fugitives? ”

Wang Shiji's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "The minister is guilty, the minister did not control his subordinates well, this is the minister's negligence, asking the emperor to punish him, it is just a matter of rebellion, it is really nothing!"

Yang Jian snorted heavily: "Okay, you said that Yin Yiyuan's testimony is not enough to prove that you rebelled, so what about this Fulin Daoist?" You won't say that he is also your subordinate, and the discipline is not strict!"

The gray-haired one. The flesh and blood blurred man raised his head slightly, and his voice was as small as a mosquito humming: "General Wang." Don't stand up, I'll recruit you for the meeting in Jingzhou! The sooner you confess, you won't suffer from the flesh and skin!"

Wang Shiji's eyes swirled for a while, and a mouthful of old blood directly mentioned his throat, this time he knew that he couldn't hide at all, so he could only sigh: "Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty to you can be seen every day, if the minister really has a plan to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago when he had a heavy army, will he wait until now?" This time, the minister is the governor of Liangzhou, you have an edict, and the minister came over without saying a word, if there is a person who is willing to rebel, will it be so refreshing? ”

The thunderous voice of Huangfu Xiaoxiang suddenly reverberated back and forth in the two ceremonial halls: "Your Majesty, don't believe his nonsense, he is excusing himself!" He recruited himself just now, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, not a land of kings, he doesn't want to rebel, but he doesn't want to raise troops in Liangzhou. If he is given the opportunity to go to Kanto, or Lingnan, he will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops!"

Wang Shiji opened his mouth, "wow", spit out a mouthful of blood, touched his chest with his hand, pointed at the emperor's filial piety and scolded: "Eat inside and outside, betray the Lord and seek glory, you, you must not die well!" Your Majesty, this man is a traitor, don't take his word for it!"

Huangfu Xiaoxiao "hehe" smiled: "Your Majesty, you have heard it, this person said that I am his courtier, eating the food of his royal family, it can be seen that his true heart, in his eyes, there is no king, there is no general, those of us who were promoted by the court and served the court, in his eyes are just the domestic slaves of his royal family, saying that this person is rebelling, is there a half-truth?" ”

Wang Shiji was slightly stunned, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but heard Yang Jian roar angrily: "Enough, Wang Shiji, I don't want to hear what you explain, your reflexes are already clear and clear, do you need to explain anything?" Do you think that the year before last, you were drunk and sick, and you didn't want to enter the court, and you didn't want to see me, but you kept in touch with other important ministers and generals in private, and I didn't know these things? I just remembered the old relationship and didn't break it, I expected you to wake up and change your past, but I didn't expect you to intensify your efforts and start the idea of separating one side! I can tolerate you, and the laws of the Great Sui can't tolerate you!"

Wang Shiji's face turned pale, he knew that he was in a dead line this time, and Yang Jian could endure anything else, that is, for the rebellion, there was no forgiveness for killing, and he would be decided! I can't learn Shi Wanzai this time, kowtow to save my life, as long as I admit even one crime, I must be dead or alive.

So Wang Shiji gritted his teeth, kept kowtowing on the ground, and insisted that he was just arrogant, disrespectful to the emperor, and not strict with his subordinates, but a loyal heart can show the sun and the moon.

Yang Jian didn't bother to listen to his explanation here, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Wang Shiji, since you refuse to admit your guilt, I don't have to ask anything, this is the Liangyi Palace, a place for me and my loyal ministers to discuss military affairs, not a place to interrogate you, a traitor, there will be a place for you to speak, Zhao Aiqing!"

An eight-foot-long guy who looked like Zhong Tianshi flashed out from the side of the main hall, and his voice was like a bell: "Zhao Zhongqing, the minister inspecting the school, Dali Zheng, knocked on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wang Shiji suddenly softened to the ground, this Zhao Zhongqing is a notoriously ruthless man, a cool official, he is a native of Henan, the son of Zhao Gang, the prince of Fuyang County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with a rough personality and amazing arm strength.

After entering the Sui Dynasty, Zhao Zhongqing entered the county prince of Hebei, transferred to Shizhou to assassinate the history, and the person who committed a small crime fell into his hands, whipping and beating the board, all of which were at least 200 times, with its ferocity, the thieves in Shizhou were extinct, and later transferred to the governor of Shuozhou, becoming a border general.

Because Shuozhou (that is, Mayi, and the important town in the north of the state) is the front line of facing the Turks, far away from the Central Plains, so usually rely on the people to settle the fields, in order to solve the problem of military rations, after Zhao Zhongqing arrived, encountered stealing and slippery, secretly hiding food, either hanging people up and beating, or dragging people with horses, dragged in the thorn bushes, people at the time called Zhao Laohu, did not dare to look at him at all, and relied on these brutal means, Shuozhou soldiers are full of food every year, even the Turks, do not dare to provoke this fierce tiger.

Since Yang Yichen was transferred to the governor of Shuozhou a few years ago, Zhao Zhongqing, a ruthless man, returned to Beijing to live idlely, and a few days ago, Huangfu Xiaoxu dismissed Dali Zheng, Dali Cheng Yang Yuan did not help Zhengzheng as he wished, but Zhao Zhongqing was awarded the post of inspecting Dalizheng, which seems to be specially used to clean up Wang Shiji!

Wang Shiji knew that Zhao Zhongqing's means fell into his hands, so even if he lived, half of his life would be gone. At this time, Zhao Zhongqing was turning his head to look at himself, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his teeth were gritting, and he couldn't wait to eat himself alive!

Yang Jian said to Zhao Zhongqing: "Zhao Qing's family, you heard what you said just now!"

Zhao Zhongqing stood up and glared angrily at Wang Shiji: "Your Majesty, just now when the minister heard that this shameless thief not only repented of his crimes, but denied it in every possible way here, he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!" Since he refuses to speak, the minister will definitely find a way to make him speak!"

Yang Jian smiled slightly: "Don't be too heavy, these two fought too badly, and they lost their skin, so if they are thrown on the court, maybe some people who don't distinguish between right and wrong will sympathize with this thief." ”

Zhao Zhongqing grinned: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister has a way to see no blood, just take this thief for a try, the minister guarantees that what the ministers at the court meeting will see will be a Wang Shiji who looks intact, of course, his confession, the minister will definitely present it to the emperor within two days!"
