Chapter Twenty-Eight: Toori in Distress (II)
After fighting and retreating to the wall, finally there was no need to be attacked on all sides, Yun Ye whispered to Hong Yan: "You protect the military division, I will kill the two leaders." "As he spoke, he was about to rise up,
At this time, the sound of the gong opening the way came from afar,
Tsuba's face changed, and he let out a roar, and several evil men and the officer fled, and those men were stunned for a while, and they stopped their hands one after another, looking at the back of the commander running away in a daze,
Soon, a group of men and horses galloped in, led by the officials of the Criminal Department and the Supervision Department, who had just entered the city on the appointed day, and heard that the people were talking about the chaos here, and everyone was afraid that it would be related to the military division, so they immediately rushed over.
He Ran didn't have time to say more to them, and instructed Hong Yan: "Hurry up and hunt down the two bastards who are the leader." ”
Looking at the more than 200 guards who were on guard, He Ran had a bottom in his heart, with only these 200 people, even if the defenders of Dongweaving City rebelled together, it was not enough to be afraid.
The officials were all shocked when they heard Yunye's story, and they all asked the military division to temporarily go out of the city and quickly mobilize the surrounding people to prevent accidents.
He Ran shook his head lightly and ordered: "Retreat to the east gate and defend the city." Then he took out the talisman and gave it to the herald, and ordered him to quickly dispatch the men and horses of the surrounding cities to gallop to help.
The guard of the east gate couldn't help but panic when he saw the adults who had just entered the city going and returning, and the squire of the criminal department commanded loudly: "The military division has an order, so you should quickly get out of the east gate and guard it around." ”
Hearing that the military division had actually arrived here, where did the guard dare to say more, he hurriedly led the soldiers down the city tower,
He Ran stopped him and said, "You go to Chuanzhong Prefecture to inspect and make An Li, the city guard Zuo Yu and the city jurisdiction come to see me." ”
Seeing that this person's momentum was expected to be a military advisor, the guard general was frightened and ran towards the city.
went up to the city tower, He Ran felt that the pain in his back was unbearable, and the accompanying military doctor hurriedly bandaged him to stop the bleeding.
He Ran endured the pain and smiled at her, and said, "It's okay to hurt your flesh and skin, don't worry." ”
After the bandaging was completed, He Ran sat on the seat spread on the road with a blue face, and all the officials on both sides stared at the official road below with fire in their eyes, waiting for the arrival of the officials of Dongzhicheng.
The slashed inspector was already dead, and He Ran called the other two over and asked, "Have you found anything these days?" ”
One person said: "The people here have been threatened, dare not talk about the Bai brothers, we bribed a few bold with money, according to them, the rich businessman Jinhu befriended the government, has always bullied the market, clearly said that he wanted to buy Bai Er's house with seventy taels of silver, but in private only gave seven taels, and the rest said that it would be paid later, the Bai brothers naturally did not do it, Jinhu ordered the slaves to beat the Bai brothers, and the two of them rose up to resist, so that there was a murder. ”
Another person reported: "We have verified that at least nine officials in Dongzhicheng have accepted bribes from Jinhu, and the officialdom is filthy, and many powerful people of the former dynasty who have committed many evil deeds have not only not been dealt with, but have all bought official positions and continue to be on the evil side." ”
He Ran said lightly: "You don't have to hide the ugly things in your Supervision Department, if the pollution is like this, the Zhongzhou Inspection Department will not escape the involvement, you won't hear anything." ”
The two glanced at each other and said, "Judging from the situation we have investigated, the Inspection Department has not done anything, and some people have reported that they are in the same stream as the officials of Dongzhicheng City. ”
"It's obvious." He Ran pointed to the Left Courtyard of the Supervision Division, "Go and report to your Lord Zuo Yuan in detail." ”
Zuoyuan Fu Xi's face was extremely ugly, and he ordered his subordinates to take the two of them aside and ask carefully,
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, the city guard Zuo Yi came in a panic, he had heard that the military division was almost killed in the city, ran up to the city tower to see this posture, his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, his face was like ashes, and he couldn't say a word.
He Ran said coldly: "Lord Zuo, it seems that you are guilty. ”
Zuo Yu said in a trembling voice: "The subordinate officials have no way to govern and eliminate evil effectively, so that the military division is in distress at the boundary of the East Weaving Land, and the subordinate official is sentenced to death." ”
He Ran snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that you don't know your sin yet." ”
At this time, the city jurisdiction Zhongyu and Zhongzhou inspectors came one after another, and when they saw Zuo Yu kneeling on the ground, the two of them also knelt down involuntarily.
He Ran glanced at Zhongyu's clothes and said, "You are the jurisdiction of Dongweaving City." ”
Zhongyu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Xiaguan Zhongyu." ”
He Ran stared at him and asked, "Who was the perpetrator just now?" ”
At this time, Zhong Zheng, who was interrogating those villains, happened to come over, and when he saw that Zhongyu couldn't answer, he said: "One is Tsai Huang, and the one who leads the troops is a collar, called Tie Jia." Then he whispered in He Ran's ear, "The person whose wrist was cut off is a sworn friend of Qi Huang, and he has already confessed, Qi Huang and Ji Jia are sworn brothers, and Qi Huang's two younger brothers have joined the Shun army and died in the great war, because he hates the military advisor to the core, and this time he has hit the opportunity, and he wants to die to avenge his two younger brothers." ”
He Ran nodded slightly, he knew that if there was no reason, these people would not act like this,
Hearing that it was his subordinates who committed the murder, Zhongyu's face immediately turned pale,
He Ran said: "You really led the troops twice, and your subordinates are very brave." ”
Zhongyu stammered: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials didn't know that these two people ...... These two ......"
He Ran interrupted sharply: "Don't go arrest yet." ”
Zhongyu promised, his legs were already weak and couldn't stand up, he turned around and climbed two steps to support himself, and staggered.
The patrol who was kneeling on the side made An Li's eyes turn to him when he saw the military advisor's eyes turn to him, and he couldn't help but shudder, he relied on his familiarity with the military advisor, squeezed out a smile and said: "The subordinate doesn't know that the military advisor is here in person, and he has not been far away to ask the military advisor for forgiveness, this is not the place to speak, please ask the military advisor to move to the mansion." ”
He Ran looked at him with a smile and said: "Don't you dare, although this army division has been fighting horses for many years, and has seen countless sinister formations, and his courage is not small, but this Dongweaving City is governed by you like a tiger's den in Longtan, I have tasted it, and the blood flow of a sword in my back has not stopped, how dare I enter it again." ”
Ansa lowered his head weakly,
He Ran raised his voice and said: "Lord An, the king has entrusted the five cities of Zhongzhou with the important task of patrolling the five cities of Zhongzhou with your loyalty, and you have not done anything to be ashamed of the king." ”
A layer of fine sweat broke out on Anli's forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly,
He Ran looked at Zuo Yu again, and said: "You also think about it, do you wait to go back and tell the general, or confess your guilt here, you all know that my sins in treating people are rarely even the nine clans, but you want me to be too distracted, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Hearing this, Zuo Yu knelt down and climbed two steps, trembling all over his body and said, "I confess my guilt, I confess." ”
He Ran said coldly: "You'd better think about it all before you talk about it, lest I find out that I have something to hide." He said to the officials of the Supervision Department, "Stay him first, let him write down all the guilt himself." ”
Escorting Zuo Yu, he turned to Ansa again, "What about you." ”
Seeing that Zuo Yi had succumbed and that it was useless to carry it by himself, An Li said miserably: "I want to see the king." ”
He Ran shook his head and said, "It's really beyond my expectations, what kind of face do you have to go to see the king." ”
An Li knew that he would die, so he didn't kneel, sat sideways on the ground, looked at him and said: "I took some bribes, but in the past, what I did was still a clean official, of course, I deserved to see the king, if you have the courage, let me impeach you in person, your new policy has made the officials have no way to live, do you think that all the adults here really support the new policy, they are just under your obscenity and have to give in." ”
Zhong Zheng saw that his words were rude, so he stepped forward to do something.
He Ran raised his hand to stop him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oh, is that so." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the officials standing on both sides,
Fu Xi of the Zuo Yuan of the Supervision Department said disdainfully: "At this time, you still say this kind of thing, the face of the Supervision Department has been lost by you, don't think that everyone is as greedy for money as you, most of the Supervision Department is clean and clean, and it is the first time I have seen you like this." ”
The waiter of the criminal department, Qi Yan, snorted and said: "Lord An, it's better not to say it, I don't dare to say anything about others, Qi Yan was just a small official before, and he was promoted to the waiter step by step with due diligence, and he was grateful for the kindness of the court, and he didn't dare to make a wrong step every day, so he didn't dare to mention it, but he dared to pat his chest and say, and he was even more heartfelt support for the new deal. ”
The officials of the Criminal Department all nodded in agreement, and those officials from the Supervision Department also looked at An Li with a sneer,
An Lisa laughed wildly and said, "Under his obscenity, you naturally want to say this, no coward. ”
He Ran looked at him coldly and said: "What you are talking about with the heart of a villain is that people like you, your own heart, you think that the hearts of people who are officials in the world are dirty." ”
"Do you dare me to go to the king?" Angasa asked, Grinding his neck,
He Ran showed a smile on his face and said: "How dare you dare to do this, since you feel that there is nothing wrong with what you are doing, then write down everything that should be written first, it is best not to hide anything, lest it be found out in the future that even the face of the king will be lost by you, dare to do it, you will not refuse this." ”
An Li's chest rose and fell violently, and he thought for a while and said, "I dare to bear what I do, and I will not admit to death if others frame me." ”
He Ran said with a smile: "Hearing this, you are empty-hearted, framed, only people who always think about framing others in their hearts are always on guard against others being framed, if you really conceal the corruption and perversion of the law, I will find all the human and physical evidence for you, and at that time it will depend on the size of your guilt whether you will be punished or not, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." ”
Anli's eyes stared straight at the ground, biting her lip, and it seemed that she was making a difficult trade-off in her heart.
He Ran said to the waiter of the Criminal Department: "Let his affairs be handed over to your Criminal Department, although I don't doubt the adults of the Supervision Department, it is better to avoid it." ”
Period salt took the order and asked his subordinates to take An Lisa down to watch it,
