Chapter 23: Palace Change (8)
He wanted to use her to threaten Monten!
"Heh, this king underestimated you!"
Gasuo calmed down, stared at the long sword she held around her neck, and showed an unfathomable smile, "I'm afraid the queen will have to think twice, I think there are still people in this world that you care about, if you accidentally wipe your neck, then the king has to let her go with you to the underworld to be buried together!" ”
Yisha's heart hanging in the air 'chuckled', and a bad premonition surged up, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Gasuo didn't answer, raised his eyebrows and slapped his palm, shouting, "Take her out!" ”
As the words fell, two black-clad rebels escorted out a young woman, who staggered and panicked, trembling like a lamb to the slaughter, apparently having never experienced such a thing, and was terrified.
"Nanu!"
Nanu's eyes lit up when she saw Issa, and she cried for help: "Queen! Save the slaves! ”
She is young, she has been a slave and a maid in the palace, where has she experienced such a bloody palace change, Mama Li died tragically in front of them, becoming a ghost under the sword, she was stupid, ran away in a panic, but was still caught by the rebels.
Gassel paced to Nanu's side, unhurriedly pulled out a long sword from the guard's waist, the sharp blade exuded the chill of cold death, and in Nanu's frightened eyes, pressed against her neck.
Isa was in a heavy mood and said in a dumb voice, "Let her go!" ”
"This king can not kill her." Gassel replied cheerfully, "But......... You've got to put your weapons down. ”
"You ........."
These traitors are by no means good, they can slaughter the palace maids and slaves without blinking, without sparing a single life, and the reason why Nanu's life is left is of course valuable to threaten her.
'Bang! ’
The long sword fell to the ground, and Isa was immediately surrounded by a large number of rebels.........
…………
Gasuo took advantage of the heavy rain night to lead the army to capture the royal city, and the team was divided into three groups, one group went to Qinshui Temple, one group went to the national teacher's mansion, and the last group controlled several ministers in the court who supported the king of Loulan.
The desert nourished by the rain showed rare vitality, the sky was exceptionally blue, the air was exceptionally fresh, and this heavy rain washed away the bloody smell in the palace last night, but it could not wash away the fact of the killings that had occurred.
Huanyang Palace, the place where hundreds of civil and military officials went to the early court, the atmosphere was solemn and silent at this time.
The rebels take control of the palace, and Gassel stands above the main hall overlooking the ministers, with a victor's smile on his face, as if he already has the world.
"Internal and external troubles, the people's hearts are unstable, in order to calm the world, Brother Wang drove to the dangerous place in person! However, two months have passed, and there is no news of Brother Wang, and his life and death are unknown! The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the dragons in the court and the central government have no leader, which leads to the ambitions of some people and vainly plotting to usurp the throne! ”
The thief shouted to catch the thief, and his face was righteous and upright, as if he was doing the right thing for heaven.
His long and narrow eyes swept over every minister, and he continued to say with righteousness: "Fortunately, there are virtuous people in the court who secretly inform this king, asking this king to defend the Loulan country for the royal brother, and find out the rebellious ministers and thieves who are ambitious and vainly trying to seize the throne, and do the right thing for heaven!" ”
"This ........."
Gassel's wolf ambitions are well known, and now that the palace is under his control, it is natural that someone will see the wind and make the helmsman scold him.
"I don't know who the rebel minister His Highness is talking about?" In the crowd, a hundred officials asked.
"You don't have to worry, this king has already arrested this person."
Gassel glanced at the guards behind him, and the guards got the order and shouted outside the door: "Bring the rebels into the temple!" ”
After speaking, a guard with a knife detained an old man and walked in quickly, and before the old man could stand firmly, the guard kicked the old man in the socket of the leg, forcing him to kneel down to Gassel above.
"Master National Teacher! How can this be reasonable, you are so bold that you dare to kidnap the national teacher! Why don't you untie the rope soon?! ”
Seeing that the arrested person was actually a national teacher, several ministers were emotional and clamored for their release.
The scene was chaotic and noisy, and there was always an unpredictable smirk on the corner of Gasuo's mouth, half-paid, and when they had enough of arguing, he spoke slowly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, there is no conclusive evidence, of course it is impossible for this king to capture our national teacher." ”
"Please also ask His Highness Gassel to show the so-called evidence in your mouth!" The Protector asked angrily.
"Don't worry, the protector, this king will list the evidence of adultery and betrayal between the national teacher and foreign enemies!"
Gassel instructed the guards to present a large stack of letters, which they opened one by one and displayed them in front of the people.
"In the past few years, the national teacher has been in correspondence with the foreign enemy Persia, in which the Persians promised the national teacher to assist them in capturing the border of Loulan, and rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold and a city! The national teacher collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, committing one evil thing after another that was not conducive to Loulan, the evidence is conclusive, and the facts are established! ”
"Letters can be faked, handwriting can be imitated, and only a few letters can be convicted of traitor? King Gassel was too hasty! The Protector sneered.
Gassel did not laugh angrily, and said with a rare and pleasant face: "The protector of the country is reasonable, and it is indeed too hasty to rely on only a few letters, but this king still has someone to testify that this person has been working in the national teacher's mansion for nearly seven years, and has won the trust of the national teacher, and the correspondence between the national teacher and Persia depends on this person's mutual communication." ”
After that, the witness of Gassel's mouth was brought to the temple, his hands were cut off, his clothes were in tatters, his skin was covered with bruises and his flesh was covered with scourges!
"Woo woo woo ........."
The national teacher turned his head and saw that the former house slave was tortured by the atrocities into this tragic situation, he was furious, and struggled to run over, but unfortunately the guards behind him pressed him tightly, not only his body was bound, but his mouth was also gagged.
In this situation, the protector was grief-stricken, and hurriedly interceded for him: "Your Royal Highness Gasuo, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the national teacher commits a big crime, you don't say anything, and you still gag his mouth, it's too much!" Isn't it Your Highness, what do you want to hide, so you don't let the national teacher speak?! ”
The old thing, dare to question loudly in front of him, when this king finishes disposing of the national teacher, your good days are coming to an end!
Gassel sneered in her heart, and nodded with a smile on her face, as if agreeing with his words.
"What the Protector said is very true, and this king doesn't want to tie up the national teacher, after all, he was the hero who supported the king's brother to ascend the throne, but he ......... He has committed a heinous crime, how can he be treated extra because he is a national teacher? As the saying goes, the king is guilty of the same crime as the people, and the king is not here, and the king must take up the important task of protecting the country, and must find out the truth of this matter, and there must be no cover-up! ”
"You ————" the face of the protector turned red.
No longer bothering with him, Gassel sat on the dragon chair with his sleeves brushed up, and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you present the evidence in front of the ministers?" ”
"Yes."
The guards detained the house slave and came to the center of the hall and presented a bloody letter: "The house slave of the National Teacher's Mansion has now confessed to the crime, painted and signed, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and it cannot be denied!" ”
The Lord Protector stepped forward and snatched the blood book, indignant: "Could this be the so-called evidence of His Highness?" ”
