Chapter 87 General Xiao died, and he dictated the truth when he died
After Xiao Junkun descended from the court, he followed Han San to the prison of the Criminal Department, where his biological father and his eldest brother were imprisoned.
"Becoming a king and defeating a king, since I lost to you, a yellow-mouthed boy, kill me, why come and humiliate me?"
Even if he is imprisoned in such a dark prison, General Xiao is still quite stylish at this time, and he should not be called a general at this time, after all, those shining honors in the past have nothing to do with him.
He wore the uniform uniform of the prisoners in the prison - a pure white prison uniform, with a sloppy but not sloppy head, as if this few square compartments were the backyard of his house, and sat leisurely on the wooden plank to talk to the visiting guests.
"Xiao Shaohu, do you have anything to say if you are rebellious?"
Emperor Han San changed into civilian clothes at this time, and the indigo blue robe made his bearing a lot more restrained, perhaps because as the winner, he became kind to the loser who was at a disadvantage.
"I don't have much to say, but I don't know what the Emperor is going to do with my two sons."
The old general Xiao didn't see Xiao Junjun hidden in the darkness behind Han San, although he suppressed his emotions and asked, he could still see from his stiff body that he actually cared about the answer he was about to hear.
"Xiao Junjie intended to commit treason, and the evidence of a private meeting with the enemy generals before the enemy was conclusive, and he was convicted of capital crimes. As for your youngest son, Xiao Junkun, he has contributed to saving the country and suppressing the rebels, and I intend to hand over your former soldiers and official positions to him. ”
Han San was frank about his previous decision, and he didn't intend to hide it from him.
"Why?"
Xiao Junjie, who was imprisoned in the prison cell on the side, shouted with the iron bar, but when he spoke, he was shocked to find that it was the Son of Heaven standing in front of him at this time, and he couldn't allow him to speak recklessly now, so he softened his breath and knelt down and prayed.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Mingjian, the lower officials went to Yanbao to resist the enemy army, and the appointment with Fuerda was also a plan to take him down in one fell swoop, and there is no treason!"
Han San didn't look sideways at him, he just told him the evidence he had in his hand,
"General He Shuwei has presented to me the letter you intended to hand over to Fuerda, confirming your promise to cede three cities and counties after the seizure of the throne of Yiguo. Not only do you want to usurp the throne, but more importantly, you want to sell your country, just like your father, you want to sit in my position and play a game, I can still call you a good man! But what you want is to use the territory of my banner country to exchange for the power of tigers and wolves, this kind of stupid fool, I can't exaggerate to cut you with a thousand knives! ”
"That's a letter from my father, I don't know what is written in it, it's my father who wants to collude with Yiguo, it's he who wants to make this deal with them, not me! The villain was blinded in the dark, he was deceived, begging the emperor for mercy and begging the emperor to be clear! ”
Xiao Junjie heard Han San make his intentions clear, and knew that he couldn't refute it, so he could only put all the charges on his father's head, at this time, his life was the most important, and he had to save it no matter what.
"Really?"
Han San stared at Xiao Shaohu coldly.
Of course, Han San knew that this was his plan, and he specially said this to Xiao Junjie, just to hear how he excused himself. He didn't understand why the territory that he had dedicated most of his life to the battlefield and buried the corpses of hundreds of thousands of men of the Great Banner Country could easily be delivered to the enemy for his own selfish desires.
Is the temptation of power so irresistible?
"Yes."
Xiao Shaohu didn't explain, he turned his back and looked at the sky outside the iron window, and his tone finally didn't seem to be as tough as at the beginning.
Perhaps in the darkness of the fighting room, he recalled the comrades-in-arms who killed the enemy side by side back then, recalled the cold feeling of the corpses of his comrades-in-arms flowing with blood in his hands, remembered the blood and sweat shed back then, and remembered the bold words he said back then.
After his eyes were clouded by a comfortable life, and his mind was confused by desire, the bloody past that disappeared and buried came one by one.
"Do you regret it?"
"I regretted it more than twenty years ago."
Xiao Shaohu's voice was old.
"When I lost the First World War, I was seriously injured and lost my memory, and after being rescued by a woman in the people, I began to regret it after two years of ordinary life."
He began to recount a story that had never been made public.
"I think, if I am not a general of the Great Banner Country, if I don't have to join the military camp, or even if I am not a descendant of the Xiao family, can I protect a woman I love, and can I raise my son with my own hands. However, none of these things can be done, when I recover my memory, as a descendant of the Xiao family, as a general of the Great Banner Country, I will return to the Xiao family, return to the barracks, and leave my woman and my son in that Gaomen mansion, at the mercy of others, and let people kill them. ”
"No one knows how much I regret and hate it at that time. I can't kill all the Xiao family, kill all the people in the Great Banner Country, and kill all the people in this world, but my responsibilities and the people I carry can't let me do this, and my young son can't let me do this. ”
"For him, for the sake of his mother, who sacrificed his life to save his life, I can only endure it."
"I pretended not to care about him, just so that he could survive, and let the general's wife, who was wary of him, keep him to grow up; I can't discipline him personally, I can't care about his daily life anymore, I don't even dare to seriously agree to him calling me 'father', I pretend to be disgusted, and push him thousands of miles away, only hoping that he can hate me and hate the word 'Xiao'. ”
"Do you know why I never stood in my way when I knew he was on your side and did things for you? Do you know why my people were so easily surrendered by you in their final moments? Do you know why you're sitting here? ”
Xiao Shaohu stood up, walked to the opposite side of Xiao Junjie, and laughed loudly,
"I'm waiting to see the defeat of the Xiao family with my own eyes, I'm waiting to see your heads being cut down in front of me one by one! For so many years, I have not been able to find a perfect solution to save Jun Yan and my son to avenge his mother, today, I have revenge, my wish has been fulfilled, and it is not a pity to die! ”
"You old thief! I'm also your son, what did I do wrong, why are you doing this to me! ”
Xiao Junjie looked shocked, he never knew that his father had hated this family and everyone in this family for so long, he began to be afraid, and he also began to be angry, he stood up and stretched out his hand to grab the old father's collar and question.
But before his hand touched Xiao Shaohu's clothes, he shrank back in fright.
Xiao Shaohu's mouth, nose and eyes were bleeding, and his meridians were completely broken, and he died on the spot.
With Xiao Shaohu's figure falling to the ground, Xiao Junjie also sat down, he cried loudly, crying about his innocence, crying about his grievances, and crying about being treated unfairly by his father as a son.
Han San stood for a moment, there was no sound in the prison except for the voice of Xiao Junjie who was crying bitterly, and after a strange silence, he left, leaving Xiao Junjun's body hidden in the darkness motionless.
