Chapter 24: If you don't die, you won't die
Niu Youde sensed that something was wrong, and his cold face showed hesitation.
After thinking for a moment, Niu Youde gave a vague answer, and replied loudly: "My brother has not seen the real situation with his own eyes, how can I know?" County Lieutenant Wang, you don't have to lie to me. β
Wang Yan sneered in his heart, this kind of answer, the flaws are too obvious, do you really think that the people can't see it?
The provocation of such a person as the Yansu faction is really blind.
Wang Yan didn't ask any more questions, changed his words, and continued: "I asked you just now, did I have any dead or wounded soldiers under my command? You answered in the affirmative that no; When I asked again, you avoided answering, alas, it was really frustrating. In fact, thirty-two soldiers were lost in this battle. That's it, there is no point in dwelling on this issue, this official will change the question. β
Niu Youde's heart began to get nervous, and he said in a deep voice: "It was I who asked you for the news, how did it become that you asked me." β
Wang Yan said: "What news do you ask me for?" β
Niu Youde didn't think about it, and replied: "I asked you to ask for a certificate, did you and Du Xian know each other for a long time." Killing Du Xian this time, is it to earn prestige and Baixin's trust? β
Wang Yan's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "The reason why this official asked you is to answer the answer you asked. Now, understand why I asked you? β
is very bland, but it makes Niu Youde's face change greatly.
This time, he was instead rounded in.
originally wanted to make things difficult for Wang Yan, but he didn't expect to let himself fall into passivity. But at this moment, in front of hundreds of people, Niu Youde couldn't refute, so he had to say, "Please ask." β
Wang Yan looked confident and asked, "This official arrived at Xianmu Peak yesterday evening, and then went up the mountain to kill Du Xian. When did your brother find out that Du Xian was killed? β
Niu Youde's eyes were excited, as if he felt that he had seized the opportunity, and immediately said: "My brother got the news at three o'clock in the evening, and soon after, it was revealed by your soldiers. He fled back overnight, and died shortly after entering the city in the morning. β
"Nonsense."
Wang Yan had a cold face and suddenly drank violently.
Niu Youde looked at Wang Yan and chuckled in his heart.
When Wang Yan first questioned the dead and wounded soldiers, he deliberately dug a pit for Niu Youde to jump into. Now, perhaps, another pit has been dug so that Niu Youde does not notice it.
However, Niu Youde didn't know where the pit was.
It's just that I'm uneasy in my heart, and I always feel like I'm in the middle of it.
Wang Yan's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "Yesterday at noon, this officer led his troops to the vicinity of the Li River and camped on the bank of the river to rest. The official expected that Du Xian would take the opportunity to attack, so when Du Xian led his troops to attack, the official asked a few soldiers to beat drums and wave flags in the forest in the rear, bluffing. The official frightened Du Xian away, but did not send troops to pursue. β
"The official expected that Du Xian would be bluffing, and he would chase after him again, and set up an ambush in the forest."
"When Du Xian led the bandits into the mountains and forests, my ambush soldiers attacked with archers, and then relied on Huang Zhong to fight, so I was able to kill Du Xian. In that battle, the soldiers under the command of this officer lost thirty-two people, but killed four hundred and fifty-six bandits and captured three hundred and forty-four. β
"After that, this officer led the army to advance, arrived at Xianmu Peak in the evening, and ordered the bandits to surrender."
Du Xian, Yang Ping, and the thieves of Xian Mufeng were killed, and the crowd on the mountain was gone, and they all went down the mountain and surrendered. This is the detailed process of this battle, and the guards of the Yang family can testify to it. β
Wang Yan's eyes widened angrily, and he said in a deep voice: "As for your words, they are really ridiculous. β
Niu Youde swallowed his saliva, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said, "County Lieutenant Wang, I just listened to what my brother said." I'm just blocking the road this time to verify the news. β
Wang Yan flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "What you said and did just now, is it what it looks like to verify the news?" According to this official, I am afraid that you have ulterior motives and were instructed by others to deliberately smear you. Come on, take Niu Youde. β
Two soldiers rushed up and directly detained Niu Youde.
Niu Youde struggled and said loudly: "County Lieutenant Wang, you can't arrest me without evidence." β
Wang Yan looked at the people around him and said loudly: "It doesn't matter if this official is slandered by Niu Youde. However, this officer represents the barracks and is a soldier in the army. The slander of this official meant that the soldiers of the army were insulted, and they were also smeared with the infamy of colluding with Du Xian. β
"Because of this infamy, soldiers can't raise their heads and be people, and soldiers' families have to be pointed at wherever they go."
"Surely there will be relatives among you who serve as soldiers. In the future, the families of other people may also enlist in the army. Can you endure the insults of your loved ones? Can you bear to let your own family enter such a barracks? β
"Moreover, this time thirty-two people were killed. These thirty-two brothers all died to protect the peace of Nancheng County, died a glorious and heroic death, and were meritorious martyrs. Now that a cow has virtue comes out, they will be infamous on their backs, can they be willing? Are you willing to watch your dead loved ones bear the stigma? β
Wang Yanyue was excited, waved his hand, and said loudly: "This official said so much, not to say anything, but to ask everyone for a favor, think about it, and see if you know Niu Youde." Is his name Niu Youde, or who sent him? What exactly is the intention? β
"My lord, I know Niu Youde."
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, a people's voice came from the crowd.
The location of this person is the same position where Niu Youde rushed out before.
Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Please speak." β
The people said: "Niu Youde is a gambler, a drunkard, addicted to gambling, and lost his house, woman, and even his only daughter. He drank a lot of alcohol and went crazy when he did. β
Wang Yan frowned slightly, and asked again, "Is there anyone else who knows him?" β
"I know." A thin young man stood up, pointed at Niu Youde and said, "My lord, it's true that Niu Youde is addicted to gambling, and I also know that he is Yan Sheng's person, and he often follows Yan Sheng to do things." β
"No, I don't know Yan Sheng."
Niu Youde, who was caught, suddenly roared loudly, with a trace of horror on his face.
Niu Youde regretted it in his heart at this moment.
Unexpectedly, his bottom line was found out in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yan asked, "Who is Yan Sheng?" β
The young man hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yan Sheng is the only son of the county commander. β
At this moment, Wang Yan understood.
This matter may have been instructed by Yan Sheng to Niu Youdegan, or Yan Su arranged for Yan Sheng to do it.
Wang Yan thanked him, looked at Niu Youde, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as this official took office, the county order asked this official to lead troops to exterminate Du Xian, so as not to cause harm to the people." Looking at the leopard in the tube, the county order must be a person who is jealous and hateful, and it is impossible to collude with Du Xian. The county order is like this, and his son Yan Sheng must also look forward to exterminating Du Xian, and it is impossible to slander Niu Youde. β
The more this is the case, the more people feel that Yan Su and Yan Sheng are unpredictable.
Niu Youde opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't figure out Wang Yan's purpose.
He was sent by Yan Sheng to slander Wang Yan, but how could Wang Yan still excuse Yan Sheng?
Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued: "This official believes that this slander must be due to Niu Youde's dissatisfaction with Yan Sheng, so he deliberately fabricated a person to come out, wanting the official to suspect Yan Sheng and further slander the county order. β
"Niu Youde has ill intentions, which is really hateful."
"The thirty-two dead martyrs cannot be insulted, and the honor of the barracks cannot be tarnished."
"Huang Zhong, kill Niu Youde."
Wang Yan's face was cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Don't, don't kill me." Niu Youde was so frightened that he couldn't hold it back anymore, and said loudly: "It's not me, it's Yan Sheng who ordered it, and it was Yan Sheng who asked me to do this." β
In a word, there was an uproar around.
The people are not stupid, they all understand, and they are even more dissatisfied with the Yan family.
"If you dare to slander Yan Sheng, you should be punished for your crimes."
Wang Yan ordered in a cold voice, and there was no mercy in his heart. When Niu Youde stood up to slander him, he should think of the consequences now. This matter involves Yan Sheng and Yan SΓΉ, and Wang Yan will not be polite.
Huang Zhong was extremely impressed by Wang Yan's counterattack, and Wang Yan's words excused Yan Sheng and Yan SΓΉ everywhere, but in fact, he kept reiterating that this matter had something to do with the Yan family.
Huang Zhong drew his sword and killed Niu Youde, and then returned to his position.
Niu Youde was killed, and after a small episode, Wang Yan continued to advance with his army.
