Hou Yutian is actually in the martial arts academy, but in a dark basement that no one knows. The dim candle flame reflected the dark face of Qian Jiang opposite, and under the eyes of the shirtless men around him, Hou Yutian's forehead began to sweat.

A huge screen behind the Qianjiang River is engraved with the beast of the deer, the deer is also called the beast of Renfa, the strange beast in the ancient legend, according to legend, the shape is like a sheep, black hair, four-legged, there is a single horn on the head, good at distinguishing the straight, seeing people fighting, that is, the horn touches the person who is not straight, so it is also called the straight beast, touching the evil. When people have conflicts or disputes, unicorns can point their horns at the unreasonable party, and even put their horns against those who deserve to die, making the offender shudder. Emperor Yao's criminal officer Gao Tao once kept a pig, and the prison was used to help the pig to identify the suspects, and all the difficult and unresolved matters were known to the judgment of the pig, which was accurate. The pig was originally a sacred beast often carved by the Qing court, and it was not commonly used in the Taiping Army's criminal department and government, so why did it appear here?

A coughing sound suddenly came from behind the screen, it seemed to be a woman's voice, Qian Jiang heard this, put down the file in his hand, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Hou Yutian, do you know what you have done?" ”

Hou Yutian was angry and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't break free from the shackles around his waist and hands and feet, he said loudly and angrily: "I am the general of the new army, the military department should be in charge, and your intelligence department has no right to arrest me!" Even if I'm guilty, it's the Torture Hall of the Military Department that will try me! ”

Qian Jiangyin sneered: "When you get here, you are still hard-mouthed, in the battle of Guangde, you deliberately mistook your itinerary, causing most of the forward army in front of Hu Yihuang to escape, what do you say?" ”

Hou Yutian hurriedly said: "The path said by the guide sent by the division headquarters does not match the map issued by the General Staff, I am cautious, and I will send someone to find out the path before acting, what's wrong?" ”

Qian Jiang laughed a few times and threw down a few letters. Said coldly: "You and Hu Yihuang have written thirteen letters, all of them are here, do you want me to read them all?" ”

Hou Yutian opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, and Qian Jiang continued: "Three days ago, you received the edict of the Ministry of War, so you gathered five confidants and generals to discuss that you wanted to take the soldiers and horses to the East King, but later the Ministry of War quickly sent someone to take over your soldiers and horses, and listened to your military supplies, which made you dispel this idea." And you have to go back to Shanghai, yes or no?! ”

Hou Yutian blushed and said angrily: "You are spewing blood, this is your slander against me!" ”

Qian Jiang raised a few confessions and said: "The five henchmen under your command have all confessed, do you still want to deny it?" ”

Hou Yutian's face instantly turned pale, and he said, "We just want to go back to Tianjing." It's all the Taiping Army, and I don't think it's a big sin to defect to the East King. ”

Qian Jiang angrily reprimanded: "Shameless! The king of the west treats you so kindly. You have two minds! ”

Hou Yutian also seems to have let go. Raised his head and said loudly: "Lao Tzu was born and died to fight in the east and west, isn't it for a wealth and wealth, in the east hall, people like me have long been prime ministers and marquises, but the king of the west has a new army, Lao Tzu is desperate and desperate to sit on an equal footing with Feng Zicai, a later person." Where did the King of the West treat me well?! Lao Tzu is against him! ”

Qian Jiang was not born before he was born, and a woman behind the screen sighed faintly and said: "The white-eyed wolf who can't raise a family, don't you know that you are the king of the West about the fields and assets you bought by taking advantage of your official position?" He is thinking of the old love between your birth and death. Only then did you keep the ill-gotten gains, which can be regarded as some compensation for you, but I didn't expect you to be really greedy. ”

Hou Yutian's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Who is behind the screen?" ”

A gentle footstep sounded, only to see the flower of peace today, the only queen of the West King, Hong Xuanjiao, the mother of the West Wang, walked out from behind the screen, under the faint light, she was wearing a yellow robe with a hood, still so graceful.

"Just because your official position is inferior to others, you have the intention of betrayal, so I can't keep you." Hong Xuanjiao said softly, the voice was still so crisp and heroic, but the cold meaning in the words made Hou Yutian shudder.

"Xiao Chaogui didn't dare to kill Lao Tzu himself, but let you let a woman kill me?!" Hou Yutian hissed and roared: "Xiwang Niang, back then, I joined forces with you to fight the enemy in the broken temple of Xiangyin, and I also saved you!" ”

Xi Wangniang smiled faintly and bowed slightly: "Yes, we went to Xiangyin to pick up Mr. Zuo's family together, and you were among the male soldiers." Later, there were you in the vicious battles of Xiangtan, Hengyang, and Siye Mountain. Attack Yueyang, fight Wuchang, break Jiujiang, and fight all the way to Tianjing City, and there are you. There are still you in the battle of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. We all know very well your military exploits, and you are indeed a meritorious hero. ”

Hou Yutian listened, raised his eyebrows, and said slightly proudly: "It's good that Xi Wangniang still remembers, since his subordinates have made so many contributions, he can't punish his subordinates without guilt." ”

Xi Wang Niang sneered: "Guilty and punished, it is true that you are innocent to the Kingdom of Heaven, you just want to take refuge in the King of the East, not to surrender to the Qing Demon, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, it is indeed impossible to enter your sin, so it is the Intelligence Department and I who are here to clean up those of you who have two minds." ”

Hou Yutian saw that Xi Wangniang's cold face was definitely not a joke, his complexion couldn't help but change, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xi Wangniang, your subordinates have made great contributions, you really dare to kill me?" ”

Xi Wang Niang said lightly: "Since the confrontation with the East Palace, our Intelligence Department has secretly arrested more than 1,000 people in Sufu Province, and there are not a few people like you who have great achievements in battle and hold great power. Don't you understand? The confrontation with the East Hall is just a prelude, and the West King and I want to see which people will jump out in a hurry. As long as he doesn't stand with us, no matter how great his military achievements and authority are, we must resolutely let him disappear. The more powerful people like you are, the more powerful you are, and if you rebel in the future, the greater the harm, and it is better to deal with them as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Hou Yutian's face turned pale, he knew that the king of the west was determined to eradicate the dissidents in the military and government of Sufu Province, and people like him who had a heart for the king of the east or Tianjing must be eradicated, and the king of the west's disobedience had been revealed.

"Queen Xi, give your subordinates a chance, your subordinates did something wrong this time, and your subordinates will definitely be loyal to King Xi in the future, and they will have no ambitions!" Hou Yutian was able to betray from the Qing army camp to the Taiping army camp, he absolutely had no backbone, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately begged for mercy.

Xi Wang Niang smiled slightly, and then lowered her face: "Once disloyal, a hundred times not used, you have missed the opportunity to stand in line." Then he turned back to Qian Jiang and said: "No need to ask any more, the facts are clear, take it next door and hang it, and leave him with a whole corpse!" ”

Hou Yutian struggled and said unwillingly: "I want to see the King of the West, I want to see the King of the West!" Hong Xuanjiao, you vicious woman, indiscriminately killing the meritorious generals of the heavenly kingdom, you are a demon sent by Satan! ”

Xi Wang Niang looked coldly at several intelligence department elite men and grabbed Hou Yutian, and said lightly: "The king of the west will not see you, it is always more appropriate for me to do this kind of thing of killing heroes, and the good name of the king of the west still has to be left." ”

Hou Yutian was caught by several big men, and he struggled endlessly: "I want to see the King of the West, I must be loyal to the King of the West in the future, Hong Xuanjiao, you poisonous woman, you don't let me see the King of the West, it must be you who pretend to pass on the edict of the King of the West, and if you kill the generals indiscriminately, you will make the Heavenly Kingdom lose a general!" ”

Xi Wang Niang shouted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I only need one voice in the entire West Palace, and it's best to solve this unstable factor of yours as soon as possible!" Don't put it off yet! ”

Hou Yutian's scolding did not stop until after the next door, Qian Jiang mentioned that Zhu Pen drew a red cross at Hou Yutian's name on the roster, and the entire roster was densely packed with red names, and Qian Jiang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this. He peeked at Xi Wangniang, her face was still peaceful and gorgeous, as if nothing had happened, Qian Jiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he had another life in his hand.

In recent months, because of the military confrontation between the East Hall and the West Palace, many people have been involved, and the West Wangniang has been deployed in Shanghai, and the Intelligence Department and Bai Zetang have been secretly sent out, and all those who have colluded with the East Hall have been arrested and interrogated by the Intelligence Department, and then secretly executed. For this kind of thing, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er have no choice, the competition for power has always required people to choose to stand in line, and those who stand in the wrong line must be eliminated, if they are not stable in the West Palace, how can they seize the power of Tianjing? Taking advantage of this opportunity, some people will show their flaws, which just gives Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er the opportunity to get rid of the unstable factors. The West Hall is still a branch of the Taiping Army, and the killing of these people can only be secretly eliminated, and it is impossible to be charged with any crime, otherwise the more involved, the bigger the horses and feet will be exposed, so this matter is simply done by Hong Yuner and the Intelligence Department. Hong Yun'er thinks that she doesn't care about any infamy as a woman, as long as the reputation of the king of the west is not good, she will be fine. A woman can willingly bear these charges for a man, which also shows Hong Yuner's deep affection for Xiao Yungui.

This purge operation in the West Hall was later known as the Yimao Sufu Incident, and about 1,500 generals and officials in the West Hall of Sufu Province were secretly eliminated, and Hou Yutian was just a microcosm. The reasons for their betrayal of the West Temple and the King of the West are also varied, but the end is the same, that is, they completely disappear physically. The local government did not know about the disappearance of these people, and many officials also offered rewards to find people, and the military department and the official department were also full of shijie looking for people, but few people knew that these people had buried their bones in the Shanghai Martial Arts School.

Hong Yun'er let out a long breath, looked at Qian Jiang and said, "You can deal with the people in the back, but remember not to wronged good people." ”

Qian Jiang answered, and at this time, a person from the Intelligence Department came in and reported that the King of the West had invited the Queen of the West to come over.

Hong Yun'er said a little strangely: "What's wrong?" The King of the West is so anxious to find me. ”

Following the information sent by someone from the Intelligence Department, Qian Jiang opened it and said in a lost voice: "Urgent report from Hunan, Changsha has been lost!" (To be continued......)
