Chapter 42 Asking for an Explanation, Zhao Fan Angrily Broke into the Zhou Mansion (3)
Zhou Tai stared at the two copper bells with wide eyes, and said loudly in an unquestionable tone.
The situation was critical, and the storm and storm hurriedly stood up and said: "General Zhou, we didn't mean to disturb it, it's just that Brother Zhao and his mother died in the chaos, and they came here to ask General Zhou for an explanation!" ”
Zhou Tai listened to his words, was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Ling's mother died in the chaos, it can only be said that it is bad luck, what does it have to do with General Zhou?" ”
Fengyun Flurry hurriedly explained: "No, no, no! General Zhou, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean to say that General Zhao's mother died when your soldiers forcibly broke into the house, so General Zhao couldn't swallow this bad breath, so he entangled his friends in a fit of anger and came here to ask for an explanation! ”
When Zhou Tai heard this, he was even more puzzled, and asked half-convinced: "Don't want to bewitch the people, General Zhou's military discipline is strict, he loves the people like a son, and our army's military orders are like mountains, how can he do such an unrighteous thing!" ”
Fengyun Ranwu saw that Zhou Tai knew that there was something to talk about, and continued: "It's not for me and other gossiers to confuse the public, this matter was witnessed by General Zhao himself, and the human and material evidence is there, if General Zhou doesn't believe it, he can ask Zhao Junjun to find human evidence, physical evidence, and confront him in the court!" ”
Zhou Tai asked, "Is this true?" Don't lie for a while, or you'll ......"
Fengyun Flurry replied: "General Hui, this matter is absolutely true!" ”
Zhou Tai immediately frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted at Zhao Fan and them to stop!
The general who fought against Zhao Fan had completely fallen into a disadvantage at this moment, and he would be completely defeated at any time.
At this moment, he was able to survive completely because Zhao Fan was merciful when he saw the wind and clouds dancing and negotiating. Rao is like this, he is already scarred on his body, and there are several knife wounds, but they are not fatal.
This person is at least a captain-level figure, and even such a person is not Zhao Fan's opponent, which shows how strong Qu A's martial arts are.
Seeing this, the wind and clouds couldn't help but secretly sigh that Liu Miao was really a faint king, even such a master was just a military marquis, not even a captain, which really made the pearl dusty.
In his opinion, if this young general Qu A can devote himself to Tao Ying's command and make good use of Tao Ying's knowledge, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be promoted to an important general in the army and treated him with courtesy.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! has the ability to be empty, but he didn't find the right master ......" The wind and clouds danced, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhao Fan again and again.
However, thinking that the mission he came to this time was to bring this Qu A junior back to Tao Ying's side, he had to admire this Tao Ying's ability to discern pearls.
The record of this young general Qu A in the official history is only a few strokes, but in reality, people's martial arts are so strong and indisputable.
This is purely a good person in troubled times.
However, such a good person is destined to be nameless in troubled times.
At this moment, a strong thought flashed in his heart, he decided that he must let Qu A, who proved that his martial arts were strong and unknown in the official history, became famous in history, so that he was worthy of his ability to treat others.
The general listened to Zhou Tai's words, quickly broke away from the battle, returned to Zhou Tai's side, and stared at General Qu A with palpitations.
Zhou Tai said: "Okay, since you said that the old man died in our army, if this matter is true, I will definitely ask General Zhou to give you an explanation." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Tai suddenly changed his words, and said with a fierce look on his face: "But if General Ben is asked to verify that you are spreading rumors and slandering General Zhou's reputation, I will definitely put you in prison and suffer from punishment!" ”
"Let's go, someone Zhou will take you to see General Zhou, General Zhou understands the righteousness, and will definitely find out this matter and give you an explanation!"
After Zhou Tai finished speaking, when he took everyone to the yamen, it turned out that Zhou Yu was not in his mansion at all today, but went to the yamen to deal with affairs.
This is because his army has just occupied Qu'a City, and there are still many things in the city that have not been consolidated, and many things are waiting for him to deal with.
Fengyun Ranwu and the others didn't say much, and followed Zhou Tai's team and soon came to the yamen of Qu'a City.
Zhou Tai gestured to them to stop, and he went in to inform Zhou Yu.
Naturally, everyone didn't say anything, and stopped neatly outside the yamen of the official mansion, waiting for Zhou Yu's message.
Things are discussed, so there is no need to be too hot.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Tai ran out quickly, and then said to everyone: "General Zhou is willing to meet you, you go in quickly and tell the truth!" ”
When Zhao Fan heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Zhou!" ”
Then everyone followed Zhou Tai and entered the lobby of the yamen together.
In the lobby, I saw Zhou Yu sitting on the main seat, and there was a thick pile of bamboo slips on his desk, which were obviously all large and small events reported from various places during this period of time.
At this time, Zhou Yu was actually short of manpower, and many things needed to be handled by him personally, so he had to handle the affairs of the yamen alone.
Although Zhou Tai is a famous general, he is not very good at handling government affairs, let him charge into battle with the army, and he can also be used as a bodyguard to protect safety, but it is a little difficult for him to deal with these internal affairs and other things.
Zhou Yu saw that everyone had come to the lobby, glanced at everyone lightly, stared at Zhao Fan who was in the lead, and then said, "It's you again?" ”
"It's down there!" Seeing his attitude, Zhao Fan reluctantly clasped his fists and said.
Zhou Yu said in surprise: "Oh? I have heard of your grievances, you retell the matter truthfully, and submit your human and physical evidence in a while, and this general will immediately start investigating this matter, if this matter is true, this general will definitely give you an explanation in front of the people of the whole city, and handle the funeral for Ling Zun! ”
At this moment, Zhou Yu's bearing seemed very approachable, and he had always been very cautious when dealing with such a major matter related to the prestige of the army.
Human and physical evidence has been prepared for a long time, but there has never been a chance.
The witnesses are the servants who have witnessed all this.
The physical evidence is the weapons left behind by the soldiers who committed the murder in Zhou Yu's army at that time.
Not long after, the servant and the murder weapon were brought to court.
"General Zhou, this is the human and physical evidence below, this person is a servant of my family for many years, and he has witnessed with his own eyes how your soldiers killed my mother!"
"The physical evidence is this spear, General Zhou must be no stranger to this thing, it is the weapon of your army, General Zhou can check it for himself!"
After taking out the human and physical evidence, Zhao Fan looked confident.
Zhou Yu listened to his words, and was a little suspicious, and quickly waved his hand at the person next to him, who stepped forward and took the spear, and then handed it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu picked up the spear and put it in front of his crime, observed it carefully, and after a few glances, he frowned.
This spear is indeed just like Zhao Fan said, it is the equipment and weapons of their army, all of which are made in one place, he is naturally familiar with it, and he can recognize it at a glance.
After reading the physical evidence, Zhou Yu nodded and didn't say anything, then pointed at the servant and waved his hand to let him step forward.
The servant hurried forward and fell to his knees.
Zhou Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Are you a servant of their family for many years?" ”
"Back to the adult, the villain is indeed a servant of the Zhao family's house, since I was a child, I have been favored by Mrs. Zhao, and then I have been following Mrs. Zhao's side to serve him, it has been more than ten years now, the surrounding neighbors they all know me, if the adults don't believe it, you can ask a few neighbors around to know the truth!"
The servant carefully recounted his origin and identity, and his eyes did not show the slightest panic when he spoke, and he seemed very calm.
From the servant's words, and his demeanor, it can be seen that there is a good chance that his words are true, because if they are lies, they must be arranged in advance and then rehearsed countless times.
Even so, he can speak very skillfully, but in such an occasion, if he is telling a lie, his expression cannot be so calm and calm.
"Oh, in that case, then you take the details you see as a human being, and carefully repeat the whole process, and General Ben will determine whether it is true or false!" Zhou Yu continued to ask.
"Yes! My lord! The servant replied respectfully.
Then he carefully recounted how he saw the mother of General Qu A that day, who was robbed of her goods by several soldiers of Zhou Yu's army and kicked into a serious injury.
The people in the court listened attentively to the servant's account.
"Poor Mrs. Zhao is old, first she was terrified and waited for the war to subside, and then she was plundered by soldiers and bandits, and after being kicked and seriously injured, she lay on the bed and suffered for two days, coughing up blood every day, it was really miserable!" The servant wiped his tears.
There was a look of shock and anger on everyone's faces.
After listening to the servant's narration, Zhou Tai on the side couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, how can this be true, those scum, under such strict supervision of our army, dare to do such an unrighteous act in broad daylight, they really deserve a thousand cuts!" ”
"Someone! Quickly put those scum in the army to me in court to confront me, and I will personally interrogate whether what they have done is true! Zhou Yu waved his hand and commanded a few soldiers next to him.
"Whoa!"
A few armor soldiers next to him immediately took the order and left, and after waiting for about a cup of tea, they saw several armor soldiers being escorted to the court by them.
Zhou Tai saw that those people were escorted up, kicked angrily, and shouted: "Kneel!" General Zhou wants to personally interrogate you if you have committed a great rebellion that day! ”
Those armor soldiers were directly kicked by Zhou Tai, and they were so frightened that they were colorless, and quickly knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point to interrogate those soldiers, when and where were they and what were they doing when the crime occurred that day?
At the beginning, those people wanted to find an excuse to shirk the past, but Na and Zhou Yu used several means to break their lies on the spot.
Then, let the servant confront him in the court, and let him discern whether these people were the soldiers who committed the murder on the day of the crime.
The servant was also a man with a good memory, and he was very impressed by the events of that day, after all, he was his benefactor, and he died because of them, and this incident had a great impact on him, so he remembered it very well.
As soon as the servants saw those soldiers, they immediately identified them, and then confirmed on the spot that they were the real murderers who killed Qu A's mother that day!
Finally, after some interrogation, the soldiers finally confessed what they had done that day, and that they had killed the mother of the young general Qu Ah with their own hands and plundered their property.
After Zhou Yu confirmed this matter, he was furious and slammed the table, suddenly making a loud muffled sound.
"Bastard! You are simply scum! There are other scum in our army, it is simply a shame! It's all because I have no way to govern the army, and I connived at you, which caused today's evil results, and I, Zhou Yu, can't escape the blame! ”
Zhou Yu scolded at the top of his throat, and then hurriedly came to the young general Qu A, and said with a guilty face: "This little general, I'm really sorry, I blame Zhou Yu for not being able to govern the army, which caused today's evil consequences......"
Zhou Yu paused and continued: "Since this matter has been confirmed to be true, then I, Zhou Yu, must give you an explanation, what I said in advance must be done, and I will definitely handle the funeral for Ling Zun." In addition, we will definitely punish these scum severely, and please calm the general's anger......"
These words have always been what Zhao Fan and Fengyun Ranwu and others want to hear, and at this moment, they finally came out of Zhou Yu's mouth, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging in their hearts finally landed.
After Zhao Fan listened to Zhou Yu's promise, his face softened, and he no longer had a straight face like before, and looked at him like an enemy.
"Dare to ask how to punish it?" Zhao Fan asked with his hand towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's face was a little unsightly, I have already given you the explanation you want, as for how to punish it, this is my business. Zhao Fan's question made him very unhappy.
He said coldly: "Heavy punishment of one hundred military sticks!" ”
Zhao Fan's face changed!
