Leaving two henchmen to continue to deal with the aftermath, Zhang Xiu took the rest of his guards and turned back to the Chinese army. At this time, everyone's attention was on the performance of Yu Wenhua and the three brothers, so no one noticed that he had ever left. Zhang Xiu quickly glanced at it and found that most of the imperial generals in the Chinese army tent had been kidnapped, only the old Sanzhi of the Yuwen family refused to be tied up by order, and was still crying and shouting for mercy.

"Second brother, second brother, I beg you. My sister-in-law is the daughter of the saint, and you are his own son-in-law, so you can't watch me beheaded! This guy was already crying hoarsely, but he held Yu Wenshi's leg and refused to let go. The soldiers of the Xiongwu Battalion who came to get the person knew that this person would not live until noon, and they couldn't bear to use it in front of their own commander, so they had to wait for Yu Wenshi and himself to speak. And Yu Wenshi cried softly early, squatted down, holding his brother's neck with his hands and wept silently, "The Holy Lord personally ordered me, I, how dare I refute him in public." Your second sister-in-law is far away in Luoyang....woo..."

"Second brother, I know it's wrong, I admit punishment. You can let the emperor beat me on the board, fill the army, and distribute it, I am willing to go to Lingnan, I am willing to go. Second brother, don't let me die! ”

"If I can save you, I will do it with all my might. But, what you have committed is the crime of extermination, the crime of extermination! "Yu Wenshi and wept and counted down." Those gold and silver can't be brought with you in life and can't be brought with you in death. Our Yuwen family has never lacked your food and clothing, what do you want gold and silver for......."

"I, I, I don't know! I was confused for a moment! Yu Wenzhi was speechless and continued to howl in a hoarse voice. Snot and tears flowed continuously, smearing a large area of Yuwenshi's shin guards.

Zhang Xiu saw that the time was almost there, stepped forward, and persuaded in a low voice: "General Yuwen, please mourn first." The Holy One is still waiting for your news in the palace. The later you pay the order, the more angry the Holy One will be! ”

"Zhang Xiu who has no conscience! How does my second brother usually treat you! Woo woo woo - if it weren't for my Yuwen family, how could you be where you are today! Yuwen Zhihe immediately raised his head and scolded with a handful of snot and tears.

"Tie up, if he talks nonsense again, gag with dry horse manure!" Zhang Xiu was not afraid of this heartless thing, raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily.

The two guards immediately stepped forward and forcefully pulled Yu Wenzhi away from his brother. "Second brother, second brother save me!" Knowing that he would definitely die after entering the palace, Yu Wenzhi struggled and called for help.

"You'd better be tied up. I'll see Your Majesty later, and I'll confess my sins honestly. What the second brother can do for you has already done! In front of everyone's eyes, Yu Wenshi had to harden his heart, wipe his eyes, and sob. The moment before the back of his hand covered his eyelids, he quickly communicated with Zhang Xiu with his gaze. From the latter's calm eyes, he knew that the entire Yuwen family had hope of surviving.

Outside the tent, Laihu'er was already impatiently waiting. Seeing that Zhang Xiu tied up Yu Wenzhi and came out, he immediately ordered someone to press him to the palace to hand over the order. At this time, the east had begun to shine, and the people, who had been disturbed by the rebels all night, secretly poked their heads out from behind the door and looked around. Seeing a long line of high-ranking officials being led to the palace like sheep, he immediately retracted his head into the door and locked it.

"I'm afraid it's a war and don't sell your life, you should be killed!" Someone was secretly muttering in the house.

"It's hard to say, all the people who were captured were from the same battalion, and it was a mutiny!" Some people are slightly more knowledgeable and whisper to their relatives for analysis.

"Nonsense, how do you know?"

"Look at the clothes, the clothes of the guy who entered the city first are different from the guy who entered the city later!" The refuted person explains reasonably.

"The Turks haven't retreated yet, how is it possible?"

"The Turks retreat! They hadn't thrown big rocks into the city since the afternoon before yesterday! ”

"Isn't it, the Turks are probably gone!" Everyone instantly rejoiced, hiding behind the courtyard wall and cheering quietly. Since the Sui army has begun to kill each other, the Turks must have retreated! Everyone's family business has been saved, and there is no need to worry about it all day. As for why the two groups of Sui troops outside were fighting, who lost and who won, and how was the safety of the emperor in the palace? The distance is too far for everyone to manage, and they don't want to have a headache about it.

Right now, the people with the most headaches in Yanmen City are Pei Ju and Yu Shiji. Since Yang Wenxuan, the general of the town hall, presented the account book to the Golden Palace, the two important ministers of the humerus were anxious in their hearts. But in the face of the murderous Yang Guang, none of them had the courage to admit that they had participated in this "big deal". The two of them were looking forward to Yu Wenhua and Hezhi and the two brothers being mixed up to the end, so they simply rebelled with the imperial battalion soldiers and horses. Then, by the hands of the counterinsurgency, all incriminating evidence will be wiped out. Afterwards, as long as the two adults who participated in the government insisted that Yuwenshu was an old thief who was climbing indiscriminately, no one could add the crime to them.

Unexpectedly, the truth was contrary to their wishes, and Yu Wenhua and Hezhi and Brother were actually arrested. And Lai Hu'er and Fan Zigai, who were ordered to leave the palace, did not live up to Yang Guang's expectations, and with the help of Yu Wenshi, they successfully took over the command of all the troops in the city, and quickly eliminated a storm invisibly.

"It's miserable!" Looking at kneeling down in front of the emperor and kowtowing like pounding garlic to the Yuwen brothers, the internal history squire was in charge of the government Yu Shiji's cold sweat instantly soaked the official robe. The power in his hands is completely dependent on Yang Guang's trust, as long as the two Yuwen brothers confess truthfully, the entire Yu family will be doomed.

He peeked at the Huangmen squire, who was known as a wise man, and found that the other party's face was as white as grass ash. "There are all the human and material evidence!" Pei Ju remembered what he often said when he was interrogating prisoners as a local official, and his legs slowly began to fight.

Yu Wenshu had already taken off his official hat and knelt in the center of the hall to plead guilty. Seeing his son being escorted in, he took a few steps on his knees, leaned over, and slapped his head and face. "When did our Yuwen family lack this little money, you two have no money! The military rations involve His Majesty's safety, can they also be sold? ”

Hua and his brother didn't dare to dodge, and they were instantly beaten to the point that their cheeks were red and swollen, and their nosebleeds were long. After Yuwenshu finished beating his son, he picked up his arm and hit himself again, "It's my old bastard who doesn't teach me, and I indulge you too much on weekdays." It's me who seeks my own death, no wonder others! ”

He was very old, with gray hair. At this moment, there is a handful of snot and a handful of blood on his face, which looks extremely pitiful. After only a few beatings, Yuwen Shi and the first one couldn't stand it, knelt in the center of the golden palace, and begged Yang Guang: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister does not dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive the Yuwen family's heinous crimes." But please remember your father's many years of service before and after the saddle, so that he can die of old age. All the blame for the sin is shared by the father. Vertical axe quality, never dare to complain! ”

"You live well. You are loyal to Your Majesty, it is me, the old immortal, and your two lawless brothers who have caused trouble! It's none of your business! How could Yu Wenshu implicate the last son, Conghua and his brothers climbed in front of Shi Ji, pushed him hard, and cried.

"The second brother did his filial piety for me under my grandmother's knees. I was confused for a while, and I was deceived and did something wrong, and I could not atone for my sins with a thousand cuts. But it shouldn't, it shouldn't, it shouldn't have bothered my father! Yu Wenhua also crawled over on his knees, whimpering and harmonizing.

Seeing the brothers, father and son crying together, the officials felt pity, and there were constantly people crying with them. What a smart person Yu Shiji was, seeing that what he was most worried about had not happened for a long time, he immediately guessed that the Yuwen family was ready to take the crime on his own. He was so gracious that he had to repay the favor. strode out of the ranks and played in front of Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the old general Yuwen has been a great Sui Rong horse for half his life, even if he has no way to teach his son, he will not be guilty of death. Please read the love of the monarch for many years and open up to it! ”

"The Turks have just withdrawn from the army, and if this case is too widely implicated, it will inevitably be misunderstood!" Pei Ju has always been exquisite, and he followed closely behind Yu Shiji.

There are two people who take the lead in the government, and which of the other civil officials dares not to follow. Moreover, Yu Wenshu's henchmen in the court had already planned to come forward to savior. One after another, more than 20 high-ranking officials above the fourth rank stood up in the court, and they all begged for mercy for Yuwen.

Yang Guang and Yuwenshu had a good personal relationship, but when the old guy cried, his heart had already softened. Seeing so many people pleading for Yuwen again, there is an excuse to bend the law for personal gain. sighed and replied: "All Aiqing should return to class, the ancients are not as guilty as their wives." What's more, Yu Wenhua and He Zhihe are both adults, what do they do and what their parents do?! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" The sycophants sang in unison, so angry that the eyes of Lai Hu'er and the others in the military general queue turned blue. "Why didn't you see Your Majesty so tolerant when you killed He Ruobi back then!" Everyone complained secretly in their hearts, but they could only follow the general stream to praise Yang Guang's decision to be sage.

"Yu Wenhua, Yuwen Zhihe, can your two brothers be guilty?" Yang Guang was too addicted to the Holy Ming Monarch and finally focused on business.

"The minister is greedy for life and afraid of death, for fear that the jade will be burned after the city is broken. So, so I exchanged military rations and arrows for a few peace orders. Zhiji is just an accomplice, and he follows me, who is an elder brother, in a daze. Please be gracious, and let all the guilt be borne and spared. And don't implicate my brothers in the camp, they don't know about it, and they don't have the right to ask me as a commander to act! Yu Wenhua kowtowed and replied loudly.

"The criminal minister is greedy for money, and I heard that selling some military rations will not hinder the overall situation of the war, so I agreed in a moment of confusion. The sinner deserves to die, long live the punishment! After all the tossing just now, Yu Wenzhi and this ignorant scoundrel have long understood that the only way to get the family out of trouble is to take the initiative to bear all the blame, so as not to let others fall into the ground. Therefore, he changed his previous appearance and knelt down to confess to Yu Wenhua and his side.

"You two stupid people who eat inside and out!" Yang Guang was angry and pitiful, and scolded. He was angry that Yu Wenhua and his brothers were bold, but they pitied each other's brotherhood in their hearts, unlike their own family, all the brothers turned against each other in the end.

"The guilty minister is stupid and has failed His Majesty's weight. The minister is willing to receive the punishment of a thousand knives, please let your majesty be wise and have a way to live! Yu Wenhua knew that the better his attitude of confessing his sins, the greater the hope of survival, and he prostrated his head and lamented at the same time.

"The criminal minister is willing to live and die with his brother, please Your Majesty only deal with my two brothers, don't implicate the innocent!" Yuwen Zhiji also suddenly became single, shouting loudly, willing to live and die with his brother.

"The brothers of the imperial camp all have the merit of defending the land. Now that Yu Wenhua and his brothers have confessed, please ask Your Majesty to find out the mastermind of this matter, and release the other generals to return to the camp to appease the army! Lai Hu'er didn't want to be fooled by the Yuwen family like this, so he stepped forward to play.

"The minister seconded the general's words!"

"The last general seconded it!"

In an instant, more than a dozen civil and military officers who were not compatible with the Yuwen family came out, clearly interceding for the generals of the imperial camp, and secretly asked Yang Guang to investigate the matter to the end.

Yang Guang, who was sitting behind the imperial case, rubbed his temples vigorously, and from midnight to dawn, he was already very tired. But Laihu'er reminded that it does make sense, and the hidden truth behind this is by no means as simple as Yu Wenhua and admitted. Tens of thousands of stone military rations were not a small number, but they were unknowingly transported out of the city, and they continued to be traded more than a dozen times in more than a month. Without careful planning in advance and without careful cooperation in execution, it is absolutely impossible to do so.

"How did you get in touch with Duji, could it be that he has an old friend with you?" After waving his hand and ordering Laihu'er and others to return to work, Yang Guangqiang cheered up and continued to ask about the case.

"The sinners dare not deceive the Holy One. It was Yu Wenmao, a confidant of the minister, who directly intervened in this matter, so he was able to hide it from the others in the camp. As for the contact with Shibi Khan, it was a brigade leader named Zheng Xin in the camp of the criminal ministers. He was the eyeliner planted by the Turks, and as soon as the army entered the city, he found Yuwen Mao. Originally, the two of them wanted the guilty ministers to open the city gate and let Shibi Khan in. The minister's conscience found out for a while, so he insisted that he didn't dare to agree! Yu Wenhua kowtowed again, and his answer was clear.

"You still have a conscience!" Yang Guang sneered and scolded.

"The minister's family is favored by the emperor, so he doesn't dare to live up to it!" Yu Wenhua and his cheeks are unacceptable, and he responds without hesitation.

"Then why did you steal and sell military food and military funds, come to the general, and quickly go to the imperial camp to arrest Yu Wenmao and Zheng Xin." Yang Guang slapped the table hard and drank the order. He believes that the facts of the case have been very clear, and it was the eyes of the Turks who first colluded with Yu Wenhua and his henchmen, and then Yu Wenhua and He Zhi and his brothers were corrupt. As for the courtiers around him, they were all loyal to the Great Sui, and none of them participated.

Is that really the case? At the moment when Laihu'er turned around and left the palace, Yang Guang thought tiredly. Maybe it's all a lie, but what's the point of pursuing it. Which of these courtiers can live and die with him? Replaced the Turks as emperors, aren't they all running for fame and fortune at the bottom?

The "facts" were just as he expected, and a moment later, Laihu'er brought back the death of Yuwen Mao and Zheng Xin. From those in the know, Laihu'er learned that the two were killed while fighting with the people of the Xiongwu Camp for something. There were also several corpses of the brothers of the Xiongwu Battalion as evidence. How could the old general believe this kind of result that he knew at a glance that there was a hidden secret, and implored Yang Guang to issue an order to arrest other generals related to this case, and this case must be thoroughly investigated to the end.

"This is an obvious murderous mouth, please make a decision!" Laihu'er started playing loudly, and his face was as blue as the bottom of a pot.

"After hearing that after the Guandu War in the past, Wei Wu seized a basket of letters. Your Majesty, do you know why Wei Wu burned him that day? "Doctor Yushi, Pei Yun, who is in charge of the government, stepped forward quickly and quoted the scriptures.

His words made Yang Guang feel more and more tired. 'What can I do if I continue to pursue and let me kill all the possible participants?' His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor shook his head, and came up with the answer that seemed most correct so far. "Push Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi down and behead it, and the others, whether they are implicated or not, I will not pursue them!"

"Your Majesty!" Laihu'er took a few steps forward and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty spares your life!" Yuwen Zhiji struggled and lamented.

"Your Majesty, Xie!" Yuwen Shu cried and bowed, thanked him, and then fell headlong in front of the imperial case.
