For the people of Ningyi City, this verdict is really good.

Forty years is not a small time for a monk. What's more, Tan Yu's position as a general was also dismissed. It can be said that Emperor Ning Yuan has already given the Tan family no face. The people of the city were satisfied with the verdict because they thought it was fair.

But some people are not satisfied.

For example, Xie Baoshu.

For example, the young man Li Civilian.

For another example, the old general, who was waiting for the verdict at home, was also very dissatisfied. Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, this truth is understood by old generals, and it is impossible for Ning Yuan, who is familiar with poetry and books, not to understand. The old general's son and daughter-in-law, as well as the little grandson, have all been buried. In the entire General's Mansion, he is now the only one left.

The night is dark and the wind is high, a lonely lamp, lonely and desolate.

The old general's surname is Qi, and the surname Qi is relatively rare in Ningguo. The old general followed Ning Yuan back then, amazed the situation, expanded the territory, and made great contributions. Ning Guo is already very strong, and with the efforts of these veterans, they are getting stronger and stronger, and only Chen Guo can compete with them.

In that war more than 20 years ago, the Chen State was about to be defeated, but Emperor Ning Yuan suddenly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and no one knew why. Some generals disagreed, but under Ning Yuan's suppression, nothing big happened. The old general Qi never argued with Ning Yuan, pointing to where to fight, saying that the army would be withdrawn, and there was no intention of disobedience.

The old general is so old that he can't lift a knife anymore.

On this day, however, he put on a suit of his own. Although General Qi was not a monk, when he was young, his skills were not bad, and he was a ruthless man who could pick out the enemy with one shot on horseback. It's different now, the body can't ride a horse, let alone hold a gun, and even wearing this armor is useless.

The armor of the old general Qi is called "Far Mountain Armor", and only the generals of Ning Guo and Ning Yuan at the same time can wear it. With copper and iron as it, the shape of the nail piece is mostly the "mountain" character pattern, which is made precisely and worn lightly. Not heavy armor, but light armor.

Rao is light armor, and the old general has spent a long time. After putting on the armor, General Qi took out the iron spear from his room. This iron spear has followed the old general for most of his life, and it is extremely heavy, and when the old general was young, he could lift it with one hand. Now it can only be resisted on the shoulder, or it will not be able to hold it at all.

In this way, General Qi walked out of the door slowly, looking at everything in the general's mansion, he wanted to lock the door, but suddenly threw the key at the door and left without looking back. When he went out this time, the old general didn't plan to come back, so why did he lock the door?

On the side of the road, there were already many people looking at General Qi and not saying a word. This city, except for some people who have nothing to do with themselves and hang high. There are still many warm-hearted people like the young man Li Minmin, some of them have seen Tan Yu hit people with their own eyes, and some have not.

But at this time, they all looked at Old General Qi.

This poor old man, Rao was carrying such a heavy iron spear, and his waist was still very straight. He walked down the street, and countless pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages made way for him. It's like this old man is going to do one

It's a very honorable thing.

But General Qi, just like he usually goes shopping, walks very smoothly, not arrogant or impatient.

The distance from the General's Mansion to the palace is actually not far, but the old general has been walking for a long time, and his steps are getting heavier and heavier, and some people around him want to help him carry the iron gun, but they are all refused. In this way, from morning to noon, General Qi walked to the gate of the palace.

The guards at the gate of the palace had already received news from the emperor and could not be stopped, so they gave way to the old general. Xie Baoshu stayed at the gate of the city, he wanted to help this old man, but he didn't know how to help yet. So he could only follow him and walk towards the palace little by little.

The civil and military officials have not yet retreated from the dynasty at this time, and they are all waiting for the old general Qi.

The old lady of the Tan family sat on a chair made of jade, which was granted by the emperor. After all, Old Lady Tan is too old, although he is also a monk of the Wind Realm, but it is not a good thing for such an old man to let him stand and wait with everyone.

The old general carried a gun and walked from the gate of the palace to the court.

Originally, in the imperial court, officials of the court were not allowed to carry weapons. But this kind of thing happened recently, and everyone knew about it, so they didn't stop Old General Qi. On the way, Xie Baoshu also got a glass of water and handed it to the veteran to quench his thirst.

Xie Baoshu followed behind the old general Qi, and everyone only thought that he was the helper invited by the old general, and the brand on his waist did not stop him.

The old general Qi walked up to the hall, ignored everyone's gaze, looked directly at the emperor, and wanted to kneel, but the iron gun in his hand had nowhere to be placed. Xie Baoshu was quick-eyed, stood behind him, took the iron gun from the old general's hand, and then stood behind the old general, like a loyal guard.

Although Ning Yuan raised his hand, he was exempted from etiquette.

But the old general Qi still kowtowed to Ning Yuan according to his own way of saluting, and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Ning Yuan sat on the dragon chair, looked at the old general Qi, and said, "Hurry up, the old general is a lot older, what are you doing on your knees." ”

The old general Qi straightened his waist and said, "Now I can go hunting with the emperor, Weichen is not old!"

Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Old General Qi is the number one general of my Ning Kingdom, so he is naturally not old. It's just that the old general hasn't been to the court for nearly 20 years, why does he want to come to this palace on a whim today? Could it be that he thinks that Ning Yuan is not good for me to govern the country, and he wants to come and scold me?"

According to the qualifications, if the old general Qi wants to scold Ning Yuan, he is definitely qualified. After all, they were brothers who were born and died together back then, and long before attacking Chen Guo, the two fought together in the north and south, and they didn't know how many wars they had experienced. Moreover, those veterans of the same period as Ning Yuan basically died almost.

Today's old general, what is it to scold him twice?

Emperor Ning Yuan knew what the old general Qi was here to do today, but he still had to say this to prove that he had not forgotten the old general and this good brother. If he wants to scold himself, it's okay, not because he is now the emperor

, you can't scold.

If there was no old general Qi, how could he Ning Yuan become the emperor?

Ning Yuan back then, who was not yet the crown prince, was suppressed by several imperial brothers. I couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so I could only lead the troops out and fight while practicing. It's all thanks to the loyal soldiers of the old general Qi. In order to have such achievements as today.

General Qi said very seriously: "My son is dead, my daughter-in-law is dead, and my grandson is also dead. But the sinner did not receive the punishment he deserved, and came to ask the emperor to be the master for me. ”

The people in the court took a breath of cool air, although they had been prepared, but no one expected that General Qi would speak so firmly and so straightforwardly. Old lady Tan frowned even more, looking at this "young man", she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ning Yuan sighed and said, "The old general's day is mourning, I also know about my nephew, but the murderer Tan Yu has been stripped of his position as a general, and he will be locked up in prison for forty years. In addition, the Tan family will also pay you five hundred taels of gold to the old general, as well as all kinds of jewelry, if you are not satisfied with the old general, I will ask the yamen to do it immediately. ”

Old General Qi looked at Ning Yuan in front of him, he knew that his brother had changed. How could Ning Yuan not know what he wanted? He looked at the dragon chair under Ning Yuan's seat and said slowly, "Gold, silver and jewelry, is it still useful to me now?"

As soon as this question was asked, there was silence in the court. Because in this world, there is no one who does not love jewelry, and even if he does not love it, it will never be too much, let alone say useless words. But at this time, General Ning was really useless.

When children and grandchildren are dead, what is the use of more gold, silver, and jewelry?

Ning Yuan was also silent, although he was the emperor, although he wanted everything in Ning Kingdom, although he was a great monk in the Jindan realm. However, he could not be brought back to life. Today, if he is more powerful, he will not be able to save the three children and grandchildren of the old general.

But he couldn't, so he didn't know what to say now.

If he didn't speak, the ministers below would not dare to speak. But there was one person, he dared to speak, and his voice was very loud: "Qi Yuan! What do you want, say it and listen." As long as you open your mouth, there is nothing that my Tan family can't take. ”

It was Old Lady Tan who spoke, although he was very old, older than General Qi, but he was still domineering when he spoke.

It was at this time that Xie Baoshu knew that the name of the old general Qi was the same as the emperor, with a single name and a distant character. He looked at the old general Qi who was standing straight in front of him, and then under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty, he suddenly felt that he was a little lonely. So, Xie Baoshu held the spear and took a step forward.

At the same time, Qi Yuan spoke, he looked at Old Lady Tan and said, "What I want is very simple, your Tan family will naturally take it out." ”

Old Lady Tan sat on the chair and asked, "Yes, then what do you want?"

Qi Yuan said slowly: "Fair." ”

Old Lady Tan shook her head and said, "It's already fair, what do you want?

The girl was originally the dragon and phoenix among the people, the first female general in Ningguo. Now that I'm in prison, I have to come out again in forty years, forty years, and then the daylilies will be cold, isn't it fair?"

Old Lady Tan's voice was very miserable, as if she had been greatly wronged.

The people in the court didn't dare to breathe and were very nervous. The old general Qi Yuan was not afraid at all, he said loudly: "I don't care how popular Tan Yu of your family is, I only know that she drank and drove a carriage to kill someone in the city." Killing people to pay for their lives, and paying off debts, this is called fairness. ”

This was even more reasonable, and for a while, the old lady Tan was speechless. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Yu'er also did not act intentionally, it was her two friends who persuaded her that she drank so much wine." Now that she is in prison, and she knows that she has repented, let her go. ”

The two old men seemed to be very sad in their hearts.

The old general Qi Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "If it is your Tan Yu who dies on that day, will you let my child go? Is this unintentional? It's clearly murder! If you were me, what would you do?"

Old Lady Tan was silent for a while, because if it was him, the murderer would have died in prison a long time ago, and it would be impossible to wait for the day of trial.

At this time, the old general Qi Yuan said again: "Don't pretend to be there, I don't know your methods." Tan Yu has been in prison for 40 years, and I don't think it will be for 40 days. With your Tan family's skills, you may be able to get a woman who looks exactly like Tan Yu and go to prison. Then take the real Tan Yu, plastic surgery, and then change the identity, according to continue to be happy, is this fair?"

Hearing these words, Xie Baoshu trembled, and this kind of operation?

He looked up at the old lady Tan and found that the sad eyes of the old lady before had become extremely indifferent.

It turned out that the sad look just now was all pretended. He had already arranged a retreat for his granddaughter, and now in this court, he pretended to be so pitiful, just to let General Qi no longer entangle.

Xie Baoshu felt that he had been taught another lesson.

In this rainy night, he has already been taught two lessons. The first lesson was that Sword Immortal Qu Cheng let him know that there are still many good people in the world who are serious and will not covet their fairy swords. In this second lesson, Xie Baoshu knows that there are many people in this world who can pretend to be very strange for their own interests.

Old Lady Tan's current appearance is almost like two people before.

Fortunately, the old general Qi Yuan was not deceived by his false appearance, but also loudly stated the Tan family's plan. Indeed, forty years in prison is nothing to everyone like the Tan family. As long as Qi Yuan stepped into the court, Tan Yu could get out of the cell with his hind feet.

To have money is to be able to do whatever you want.

What's more, the Tan family is not only rich, but also powerful.

One family, two monks of the Wind Realm, and

And the wealth is rival the country, which is the greatest help for Emperor Ningyuan when he raised his troops. Moreover, Mrs. Tan also has a woman who is married to Ning Yuan as a concubine. Although she is not a queen, her status is not bad.

At this time, Ning Yuan was not easy to speak.

Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't speak, the old general Qi Yuan was a little unwilling, and said again: "Your Majesty, can you administer justice for Weichen?"

Ning Yuan frowned and said, "Then General Tan Yu, but for my Ning Guoguo, there are countless military merits, and it is enough to save her life, right?"

Qi Yuan said in a trembling voice: "No matter how much she Tan Yu's military skills are, can she be more than my Qi Yuan?"

Now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, Tan Yu's credit is nothing more than the extermination of some bandits or something, and the credit is there. But how can there be Qi Yuan, the old general who followed the emperor to fight the world back then has a lot of credit? Even if you add ten Tan Yu, a hundred Tan Yu, it can't be compared. ”

Emperor Ning Yuan asked, "Tan Yu must die?"

The old general Qi Yuan said loudly: "You must die!"

Old lady Tan found that something was wrong, he looked at the emperor's expression, and it seemed that he really wanted to kill his granddaughter. Hurriedly got up from the chair and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my Tan family has worked hard for you for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work." The old man is such a granddaughter, if he dies, I will not live. ”

After speaking, Old Lady Tan was ready to crash and die on the strong beam.

Ning Yuan hurriedly asked the guards around him to stop him, looked at the old general Qi Yuan helplessly, and said: "You have also seen it, now the Tan family has helped Ning Guo so much, do you know? If Tan Yu has to die, the Tan family can do everything, and then the entire Ning Kingdom may be turbulent again, do you want to see this scene?"

The old general Qi Yuan was silent, no matter how much he hated or was angry, he didn't want to see the entire Ning country in turmoil. But now that the Tan family has a big business, maybe they really have this kind of strength. He feels sorry for his son and daughter-in-law, but he feels even more sorry for the people of this country.

At this time, Xie Baoshu held the iron spear, walked up, and said loudly: "Just one Tan family, can it still make the entire Ning country turbulent?"

Another monk of the Tan family's Imperial Wind Realm finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man Qi Yuan was relieved. But the young man behind him suddenly spoke, and he spoke so ugly. This monk stood up, it seemed that his status in the Tan family was not low, and he roared: "Who are you, do you have the right to speak?"

Indeed, everyone thought that he was the guard of the old man Qi Yuan, and he was not qualified to speak in the court.

Even Old Man Qi Yuan was surprised by Xie Baoshu's sudden opening, but he didn't show it.

Xie Baoshu held an iron spear, a wooden knife and a token at his waist, and a long sword behind his back. This kind of dress, in the entire Ning Kingdom, really can't find the second place. When he heard the words of the monk surnamed Tan, he smiled and said, "You ask His Majesty the Emperor to see if I am qualified to speak." ”

When Xie Baoshu spoke, Emperor Ning Yuan had already recognized him, this dress, this appearance, was in Bashan Town, fighting with one of his sons, Ying Xiaobai

The monk. Ning Yuan was very excited, he was still in the Jindan realm now. In the palace, there have been many foreign monks in the past year, but none of them can help him break through the realm.

Seeing it now, Xie Baoshu, he thinks it's an opportunity. So he said, "Qualifying, definitely qualifying." ”

The ministers in the court were very surprised, because no one knew what Xie Baoshu was about. There was even a whispered discussion about whether he was the emperor's illegitimate child.

Old Lady Tan was very angry and said, "He is a little doll in the Qi Realm, what qualifications does he have to speak?"

Above the imperial court, it is generally impossible to talk about the realm of monks, and Old Lady Tan was so angry that he said such things.

Xie Baoshu responded with a smile: "A few hundred years old, it's just a Wind Realm, how can an old dog like you be qualified to speak?
