Ren Chao ordered people to clean up a side room in the backyard of the general army's yamen, and settled Li Yanxi before returning to the hall.

"See the Chief Soldier!" General Zhao led more than a dozen officers to salute Ren Chao together, at this time they already knew that Ren Chao was the new commander-in-chief of Jiaoao Town, the so-called new officer took office with three fires, and no one wanted to let this fire burn on their heads, so everyone showed respect.

Ren Chao sat in the hall, looked at the people below with cold eyes, and couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Zhao Shenjiang will be!" Ren Chao looked at General Zhao with interest and said coldly.

"Mark it in!" General Zhao heard Ren Chao call him and hurriedly responded.

"Are you guilty?" Ren Chao's voice was still as cold as the ice of the moon.

General Zhao couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, although he was scared in his heart, but after all, he was an old oilman who had been mixed in the officialdom for decades, so it was naturally impossible to admit his guilt obediently, General Zhao Shen pretended to be calm and said, "I really don't know that the adult is coming, and I hope that the adult will atone for his sins!" Saying that, General Zhao knocked his head again, and other officials also kowtowed one after another.

"Humph!" Ren Chao couldn't help but snort coldly, "Pretend to be stupid for me!" Someone came to spread Hu Guangde. ”

"The little ones are the commander-in-chief!" Hu Guangde walked quickly into the lobby and respectfully knelt down and saluted.

"I've done everything I asked you to do!" Ren Chao looked at Hu Guangde and asked.

"My lord, everything is done. An hour ago, General Zhao received a notice that eight large ships were heading towards the shore, and General Zhao thought it was a little devil attacking, so he returned home under the pretext of preparing to escape. However, when he saw the flag of my Beiyang Navy Division flying on the seaside, he went to inform General Zhao. I came to the Zhao family compound just to see, the Zhao family's subordinates are packing up their things, ready to escape, because the carriage is not enough, Zhao Shenjiang's wife and children are also fighting for this, if it is not for the humble to inform, I am afraid that the current Zhao Shen will run out of Jiaoao City! Hu Guangde said loudly.

"You're spewing blood! Lord Commander, you must not listen to this kid's nonsense, this kid has a grudge against the mark, he is deliberately slandering the mark, and I hope the adult will know it. General Zhao hurriedly distinguished.

"General Zhao doesn't need to be excited, whether this matter is true or not, this official will know as soon as he investigates." Ren Chao looked at General Zhao and said with a sneer, then turned to Hu Guangde and said, "Hu Guangde, empty words, it is difficult to be convincing, do you know that framing the imperial court official is a serious crime!" ”

"The little one is clear, but the little one is true." Hu Guangde replied honestly, "I went to Zhao's house again just now, and I have already mastered human and physical evidence, which is enough to prove that General Zhao is indeed suspected of abandoning the city and escaping." ”

"Oh! Then present your physical evidence! Ren Chao said loudly.

"Order!" Hu Guangde responded and immediately beckoned outside, and several people were immediately brought up, these are the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion, and after these subordinates of the Zhao Mansion were escorted up, they directly confessed to General Zhao, pointing out that as soon as General Zhao returned home, he told them to pack up their things and prepare to run away.

"You guys eat things inside and out, I'm usually a little harsh on you, but you can't wronged me like this!" General Zhao stood up like a mad dog and punched and kicked those subordinates, until the two Tiger Ben soldiers next to him rushed forward and pushed him to the ground, and General Zhao was honest, "Lord General Soldier, don't listen to these dog minions nonsense, I am usually too strict with them, they hold a grudge, this is deliberately framing me!" ”

"Oh~! You mean that everyone is framing you? Ren Chao said to General Zhao with a smile.

"Your Excellency is wise, as long as your adult lets go of the mark this time, you will definitely send a big gift to thank the lord for his great kindness!" General Zhao looked up at Ren Chao and said, a hint of pleading flashed in his eyes, he knew that this time Ren Chao burned the first fire on his head, so he could only open his mouth and beg for mercy.

"So you're pleading guilty?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"My lord, it's all the ...... framed by these people"

"Okay, this official doesn't have the time to listen to your quibbles." Ren Chao interrupted General Zhao's words very rudely, and said loudly, "Hu Guangde, if you have any other evidence, bring it up!" ”

"Returning to my lord, there is another person here, that is, the youngest son of General Zhao Shen, and he can also come forward to prove that General Zhao Shen really wanted to escape. In addition, in order to escape, General Zhao also instructed his subordinates to rob two carriages, and now the people who were robbed are outside the door, and they can also come forward to correct General Zhao. In addition, this Zhao Shen General has the ability to treat soldiers harshly and unkindly, deduct military salaries, and even openly set up for plunder, and rob people's daughters as concubines, which can be described as evil! Hu Guangde angrily accused General Zhao of one crime after another.

Subsequently, the human and material evidence collected by Hu Guangde was presented to the court one after another.

"General Zhao! What else do you have to say, others are framing you, can't your own son also frame you? Ren Chao had a cold face, pointed to the youngest son of General Zhao under the hall and asked loudly. This Hu Guangde is really good, he even used the son of General Zhao as a witness, the child is not sensible, as soon as he goes to court, he will tell the truth, and the angry Zhao Shenjiang will almost turn his back on him. There are also some people who have been bullied and oppressed by General Zhao, and now they have the courage to go to the lobby to testify against General Zhao, this qiē is naturally planned by Ren Chao, on the way back to the Yamen, Ren Chao asked Hu Guangde about the identity of General Zhao, and then ordered Hu Guangde to go down to collect evidence of General Zhao's crimes, so there is this scene in the public court now.

"Adults are clear, the dog is only six years old, how can the child's nonsense be used as evidence in court!" Zhao Shen kept the beads of sweat on his forehead flowing down, but he hadn't given up the last struggle.

"Children don't lie!" Ren Chao said with a stern face, "What's more, you robbed people's property, robbed people's daughters, and deducted military salaries, all of them are human and material evidence, even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to cut off, come on!" The heinous Zhao Shen will be put on death row, and he will be escorted to the vegetable market at three o'clock tomorrow at noon to be beheaded to show the public! ”

Listening to Ren Chao's words, General Zhao immediately collapsed on the ground, and at this time, two wolf-like soldiers of the Tiger Army rushed forward, picked up General Zhao and dragged him out. It was only at this time that General Zhao suddenly came to his senses, and shouted loudly, "Ren Chao, I am the emperor's third-grade general, and you have no right to kill me." ”

As soon as Ren Chao waved his hand, the two soldiers immediately stopped, and General Zhao immediately laughed when he saw it, "Lord Ren, if you kill me, you will be finished, otherwise you will let me go, and I promise that I will not be blamed for the past." General Zhao looked at Ren Chao's face with a crazy look, "Lord Ren, I, Zhao someone, can sit in this position, there are also people in the capital, if you kill me, they will definitely join you in the crime of killing the general, and then the next person to be escorted to the vegetable market may be Lord Ren." If you let me go, you and I will join forces in Jiaoao, which is a third of an acre, not to be windy, but to rain! ”
