Chapter 61: Drumming and Grievances
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhao Cai's face, but the charges charged by Li Yuan were too big for him to admit.
With a lift of his chin, he said righteously: "Of course not, my loyalty to Your Majesty to the court can be seen by heaven and earth." ”
Li Yuan snorted and sneered: "Really? Then General Zhao explained to me, why on the battlefield, your subordinates secretly killed me? ”
Zhao Cai swept around the twelve Xiaoguo soldiers who were tied up sturdily, and asked solemnly, "You, why did you assassinate Tang Guogong?" ”
Xiao Guojun looked at each other, looked at Zhao Cai's serious face, and didn't know how to speak.
After hesitating for a moment, the leading Xiaoguo army suddenly touched Zhao Cai's warning eyes, and his heart sank, remembering what Zhao Cai said before the action: "If this operation fails, think more about your family in Luoyang." To live up to Your Majesty's expectations, you should know what to do. ”
Yes, their families are all in Luoyang, if General Zhao is confessed, General Zhao will not die with the blessing of His Majesty, but they will definitely die, and it will affect their families.
Hengzhi is a death, so let's do something for my family.
Thinking about it in his heart, the Xiaoguo army led by him puffed up his chest and looked at Li Yuan: "One person does things and one person is responsible, the assassination of Tang Guogong is my mastermind, and it has nothing to do with others." ”
After saying that, the teeth strained hard.
Seeing that his eyes rolled and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, Li Shimin shouted: "It's not good, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the Xiaoguo army also fell to the ground.
Cheng Zhijie and others hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, but they had already lost the opportunity, "Tang Gong, they all bit their tongues and committed suicide." ”
Li Yuan glanced at Zhao Cai, just in time to see his extremely relaxed appearance with a long breath, the two looked at each other, and Zhao Cai turned his face weakly.
Hmph, you wait.
Li Yuan's knuckles turned white, he was silent for a moment, and ordered: "Take the corpse and go back to Jinyang." ”
Outside the mansion, Li Jing saw Li Yuan walking out with a gloomy face, and then saw the corpses of the twelve Xiaoguo Army behind him, and his face was thoughtful.
Ma Yi and the officials sent Li Yuan away, and suddenly he was like a deflated ball, so tired that he collapsed, and he was worried these days, so he didn't sleep much, and everyone hurried home to make up for sleep.
Li Jing returned to the mansion and habitually asked his son: "What did Dejian do today?" ”
Zhang Chuchen replied while helping him loosen his clothes: "During the day, I practiced and studied at home, and in the evening, I was invited by someone from the Tang State Mansion, saying that the eldest grandson had a few words to ask him, and Ming'er would send him back." ”
"What?" Li Jing was shocked, picked up his coat and ran out.
----------------------
At dawn, the east was white, but in a moment, it was dyed with a faint golden light, and the cold winter suddenly became soft and warm.
"Boom... Boom... Boom... Knock knock..."
The street vendors had just started to sell their food, and before the pedestrians had even picked up the cakes, they heard a drum beating.
The sound of the drum came from the direction of the government office, but as soon as it sounded, some people excitedly ran along the street and said: "The Xiaoguo army beat the drum and sounded the grievance, the Xiaoguo army beat the drum and sounded the grievance..."
The news soon spread to Su Wei's mansion, and Su Wei slammed his chopsticks on the table when he heard this, "Who is it?" ”
The henchman replied: "Grandpa Guo, it's not the Xiaoguo Army in the mansion, the subordinates have checked it, and they are all in the mansion." ”
"Could it be someone under Zhao Cai?" Su Wei looked puzzled, no, at this time, Zhao Cai and they should still be at the border, is the battle over?
But why didn't he hear the news?
"Let's ask, what's going on?"
Before Su Wei's words fell, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in and said, "Grandpa Guo, it's not Xiaoguo Jun, it's Wang Yu of the Tang Mansion."
"Wang Yu took a group of people, wearing the armor of the Xiaoguo Army, to the palace to beat drums and shout grievances, saying that he wanted to avenge Zhang Yudie's grievances and find out the murderer..."
"Looking for the murderer?" Su Yan stepped into the threshold: "They are the murderers, what murderers are they looking for?" ”
"Weng Weng, let's go to the government and arrest them."
It's time to take a look at such a big movement.
Su Wei got up, gave a few commands, and led a group of plainly dressed Xiaoguo troops to the mansion.
Zhang Xianwei was at a loss with the little Bodhisattva in the Tang Guogong Mansion, and when he glanced at Su Wei, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a life-saving straw: "Fang Guogong, you are finally here." ”
Su Wei didn't even look at him, and walked straight inside.
"I've seen Fang Guogong, Fang Guogong slept well last night?" Wang Yu smiled and spoke softly.
Su Wei glanced at the crowded doorway, and then looked at the heavily armed "Xiaoguo Army" behind Wang Yu, how dazzling was the light from the shiny armor.
Especially Duan Zhixuan, who was the leader, looked at him with a fierce gaze, fierce as a beast, he had no doubt that if there were only two of them here, Duan Zhixuan would definitely pounce on him and tear him apart.
"Bold Wang Yu..."Su Wei opened his mouth to reprimand.
Wang Yu cut off his words in time: "Fang Guogong wants to ask me why I brought so many people?" ”
Su Wei froze.
Wang Yu had already turned to face the gate and said loudly: "That's the case, yesterday Fang Guogong listened to the rumors, thinking that I was the murderer of Zhang Yudie, and led the army to break into the Tang Guogong Mansion to arrest people.
"Tang Guogong and Li Erlang went on the expedition, and there was only one female dependent in the house, and in such a big battle, the eldest grandson thought that the house was robbed and was stunned. I haven't recovered yet, and I'm recuperating in the house..."
A certain lady who was forced to recuperate in the house in the carriage outside the door had a black line and hurriedly lowered the curtain.
Sang Zhong persuaded: "Lady, let's go back to the house and wait for news." ”
The eldest grandson straightened his body and reached out for a cup of tea, "Just wait here." ”
She was never at ease...
"Fortunately, Tang Gong had the foresight to be afraid that some bad people would do evil, so he left guards in the mansion, which forced Fang Guogong to retreat.
"Fang Guogong did not know the person, and he trespassed into the Tang Guogong Mansion without distinguishing whether the news was true or false, so in order to apologize, he gave the equipment of the Xiaoguo Army to the Tang Guogong Mansion, so that he could better resist bandits in the future."
Su Yan jumped to his feet in anger: "You Hu..."
"Fang Guogong." Wang Yu raised his voice again and arched his hand at Su Wei: "You are old, and your brain will inevitably not be able to turn around, I understand this very well."
"Therefore, I will not pursue your trespass on the Tang Guogong Mansion yesterday.
"Fang Guogong is in a high position, and he can still care about the people's murders, which is really exhaustive, and I admire it."
The nerves on Su Wei's face couldn't stop beating, he could see that even if he was a young child, even if he was missing teeth, he could have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, which made him sarcastic and embarrassed.
"Fang Guogong is so old, I can't bear to let you run around and work hard, so I'll help you try this case for the first time today."
Wang Yu walked to Su Wei's side and gestured to help him: "Fang Guogong, please take a seat." ”
Su Wei glared at her fiercely, avoided her hand, flicked his sleeves, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, picked up the startled wood and slapped it heavily.
"Ascension!"
"Mighty!"
