Zhou Jin suddenly felt bad, but it was too late to struggle, the young official was Zeng Dare, and after just one word of command, a wolf-like soldier stepped forward and held it down, like catching a pig. Despite Zhou Jin's wolf shouting and cursing, he still tied him up like a zongzi. Under Zeng Dare's guidance, the soldiers took Zhou Jin out of the yurt again, and many people everywhere they passed looked at the strange and lively, which made the dignified judge embarrassed and eager to find a crack to get into.

Soon Zhou Jin was thrown into a windowless house, more of a livestock house than a house, and the narrow and dim air was filled with a strong smell of feces, which should be an abandoned house nearby. He was like a dead dog, he was left in the house for a long time, and the young official didn't even move after he locked Zhou Jin in the livestock house.

Zhou Jin was hungry and thirsty, and his heart was uneasy, at this time he didn't realize why he was arrested, and even wishful thinking that his arrest might be related to Li Xin's communiqué personal vendetta. When he shouted that his throat was cut and no one paid attention to it, he turned to scolding Li Xin again, hoping to attract attention.

I don't know how long it took, but just when Zhou Jin was dazed, the door creaked open, and the light of fresh air and torches poured in, which made him suddenly feel refreshed.

"Quickly release this official, do you know that it is a big crime to detain the imperial court officials privately?"

Because he had been in the dark for too long, Zhou Jin's eyes were not used to the sudden light, and he couldn't see how many people had come in and who was coming in, so he could only blink his eyes constantly.

After a long time, the response was a sneer, which seemed exactly the same as the voice of the young official before.

"The silverfish of the corpse vegetarian meal, and the face of the imperial court?"

Zhou Jin was suddenly shocked, no one had ever scolded him like this, he had always scolded people like this.

"You, you, what do you mean? This official is conscientious, never dare to carry it for a moment, don't want to spew blood! ”

Who knew that the man did not answer his question, but shrugged his nose and said with a look of disgust: "What a thick face, you can fool outsiders with your words, but you don't want to fool insiders." Let me ask you, Datong City is high and deep, and the Milky Way was broken by the Tartars without any resistance in one day? After the city was broken, the Tartars burned and looted, and the people did not survive, but you, the silverfish, were unscathed, and you still dare to say that you were conscientious? What a thick skin! ”

This burst of snatching white hit the nail on the head, and Zhou Jin's face turned red and pale, and he wanted to justify, but all the words choked in his throat and couldn't spit out, making a whining sound.

"Can't speak, huh? If you still have the slightest conscience, you should quickly tell you how you colluded with the Tartars and how you preserved yourself, and that might be ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jin finally reacted, pointed at Zeng Dang's nose and scolded: "Don't want to spew blood...... His eyes finally adapted to the darkness, saw the face of this person clearly, and found that he was very familiar, it seemed that he should have seen one or two times in Datong City, but he couldn't remember what his surname was, who was what position, but he couldn't remember if he was killed.

Zeng dared to dislike Zhou Jin more than half of it was from the Taiyuan prefect Xiong Kaiyuan, Xiong Kaiyuan is a complete bastard, from the disposal of the plague when he disregarded the safety of the people, to this time the Tartars attacked, it is even more shameful to send people to frown at him, this Zhou Jin as the judge of Datong Mansion, is Xiong's arm can get rid of it?

However, Zeng Dare really wished Zhou Jin, although Zhou Jin has been closely following the footsteps of the prefect Xiong Kaiyuan, but he has taken a blind attitude towards Xiong Kaiyuan and the Tartar secret communication. Zeng Dare's words made him frightened, did he know anything?

The incident on the eve of the Tartar breaking the city is absolutely secret, if this person knows, it must be an official in Datong City, looking at the facial features of this young official huddled together because of anger, Zhou Jin suddenly remembered, isn't this the experience of Shanxi Xingdu Division?

If on weekdays, the difference between this person's status and Zhou Jin's general judgment is too great, it is not surprising that he does not take this person to heart, but the current situation makes him feel very creepy. Because he suddenly remembered that when there was a plague in the spring, the experience division had a quarrel with the prefect's yamen for a while, and he personally ordered the messenger in the palace to arrest this person and clean it up, and then it was finally over.

After thinking of this, Zhou Jin felt even more that the disaster was coming, and now that it fell into the hands of others, could there be good fruits to eat?

Zeng Dare sneered: "Zhou Tongju, you must have recognized Zeng Mou from the Yamen Experience Division of the Xingdu Division." You can rest assured, I will not be as filthy as you, indiscriminately, regardless of the merits, and there will naturally be charges and reasons for arresting you, so that you will be convinced! ”

Zhou Jin had already regained his usual composure on the surface, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't the detention of the imperial court officials for no reason a personal vendetta?" And how to convince Zhou? ”

On the contrary, these words made Zeng dare to laugh angrily, and those who laughed out loud were even out of breath and speechless. Finally he relieved, "Zhou Tongju, Zhou Tongju, don't you hear too many lies, and even think it's true." Then I'll ask you a question, and you will answer the truth! ”

"Excuse me! Zhou knows everything, and he says everything! ”

"Xiong Kaiyuan and Tartar Turg secretly communicate with each other, do you know it?"

"This ......"

Zhou Jin, who had always been upright, suddenly got stuck, but a simple word that didn't contain his tongue was like a mountain, and he shouldn't be able to pronounce the complete word. Zeng dared to smile proudly and hatefully, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Can't speak, huh? Let me tell you the truth for you! On the eve of the break, Xiong Kaiyuan and Tartar Turg sent people to contact frequently, do you know, yes or no? ”

Zhou Jin was speechless, and nodded his head in a ghostly manner, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.

"You know that Xiong Kaiyuan has bad intentions, but you don't stop it, and you still deceive yourself that if you don't participate, you won't be considered an accomplice, yes?"

This time Zhou Jin didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either, his eyes were already full of contradiction and shame. Zeng dared but did not give him a chance to breathe, and continued:

"You are a judge who has no decision-making power, and it is human nature that you are powerless to stop it, but you still followed them to escape shamefully when the Tartars broke the city, do you dare to say that you are not lucky, you want to escape with your life, but you don't want to bear the guilt of Xiong Kaiyuan who sold the people of the city?"

This sentence was finally like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Zhou Jin suddenly burst into tears, at this moment, he couldn't deceive himself no matter what. Every word he dared to say was like a drum beating heavily, knocking him to stagger, so that he finally realized how hypocritical and shameful his previous psychology and behavior were, which was really contrary to the ideal he had pursued for half his life.

"You're out of words, are you? Do you dare to say that you don't have a corpse vegetarian meal? You are even more hateful than the corpse vegetarian meal, knowing that Xiong Kaiyuan sold the people of the city, you still shamelessly cover your ears and steal the bell......"

Zhou Jin was so desperate to find a crack in the ground again, he felt as if he had been stripped naked alive by Zeng Dare in front of him, but he unconsciously asked a rhetorical question.

"Aren't you the same?"

The effect of this sentence was unexpected, and the people who had dared to be pushed by a sentence were silent, Zhou Jin twisted his body that was tied by the rope for a while, and looked up at him. I saw that Zeng Da, who was still indignant just now, and constantly committed his duties to himself, was quiet at this moment, and burst into tears.

"You, you, what are you?"

He once dared to cry because he didn't have the courage to choose to live and die with the people of the city when the city was broken, and after finding that there was no hope of resistance, he took a subordinate of the experience division to hide in the houses outside the city. He was reluctant to flee west with Xiong Kaiyuan and the acting king. Obviously, Datong City still has the strength to resist, and it is clear that they may only need to survive the night, and the Tartar soldiers who lack siege equipment may retreat.

But the reality does not allow for assumptions, as the parents of a mansion, Xiong Kaiyuan shamelessly sold the people of the mansion. And there are some things he can't figure out, such as Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, it is said that this person has also experienced previous wars, how can he be like an outsider at this moment, let Xiong Kaiyuan toss blindly?

And although he prides himself on being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, in the end he still can't pass the death hurdle with difficulty, and he can't help but burst into tears under the shame and indignation. After the excitement, Zeng Dare quickly regained his calm, and now with Li Xin's support, he suddenly felt like a backbone. Although he hated Li Xin as a person, he knew that his people were never ambiguous in fighting against the Tartars, so he decided to reinvigorate his spirits, first use the power of this person to eradicate the gang of dog officials in Datong, and let out a bad breath for the people who died, and then ......

And then how did he dare to think about it, he was a small experience of the experience division, he had neither the power of the army, nor the power of the people, maybe this is the only thing he can do for the people of Datong.

As soon as he thought of this, he dared to speak loudly again.

"Zhou Tongju, since you admit it, it is easy to say, this has been recorded one by one, if you dare to act boldly, you will sign and draw the charge!"

These words are all heart-wrenching words, and there is no solid evidence at all, and it is difficult to use them as evidence to prove that an official has committed a crime, but they can prove that this official is morally corrupt and an outright hypocrite. Even if the court does not punish him, his officialdom career may end here.

Zhou Jin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and said miserably: "You, why are you so embarrassed by this official? ”

Zeng dared to sneer a few times again, and said word by word: "Why bother Zhou Tong to sentence you alone, doesn't Zhou Tong want to make the merit criminal?" ”

Zhou Jin smiled helplessly, "Right now, what is there to do?" ”
