Chapter Forty-Eight: I Have Something to Say!!
The right hand was raised high, as fast as lightning, and fell sharply on the meridian bell, but no sound came out.
Everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat, and looked at Meng Xie with a smile speechlessly.
Isn't it fun to play like this?
Meng Xie pretended to be surprised and asked, "What will happen if I ring the meridian bell?"
"It's not a problem at once, if it's nine times, the door will be wide open at noon, and anyone who hears it will rush in. The old eunuch Liu Gonggong explained with a smile.
"The soldiers won't stop it?" Meng Xie asked curiously.
"No, it won't. Gonggong Liu shook his head with a smile, "When the meridian bell rings nine times, it means that the Henghuang Emperor will celebrate with the people, and the soldiers will let the people enter." ”
"Why don't I try?"
Meng Xie was full of interest, which made Gonggong Liu have a big headache, peeked at Emperor Heng beside him, and found that Emperor Heng was smiling and did not have any objections.
But Gonggong Liu didn't dare to make the decision casually, so he could only smile bitterly and say: "Master Meng, since you have seen the meridian bell, let's give the next reward." ”
"Huh!"
Meng Xie smiled strangely on his face, looked at Gonggong Liu, and then at Emperor Heng, and raised his palm again.
This time, it's full of power.
The melodious bell rang throughout Danyang City.
"Master Hou, stop!"
Gonggong Liu wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Emperor Heng and the others also noticed that something was wrong, and just wanted to open their mouths to stop Meng Xie.
Meng Xie's hand was like a swift wind, and he slapped the meridian bell eight times in succession.
A total of nine hits before and after!
The bell echoed in the sky above Danyang City, and the people looked up at the imperial city, threw down their work one after another, and flocked to the noon gate.
"What are you going to do!"
At this moment, Gonggong Liu was no longer called Marquis Mengxie, his eyebrows were raised high, and he asked him in a fierce voice.
Meng Xie smiled and didn't say anything, just looked in the direction of the noon gate.
"Come on, take down Meng Xie!"
Glancing sideways at Emperor Heng, Gonggong Liu found that Emperor Heng's face was gloomy, and immediately opened his mouth to arrest Meng Xie.
Among the civil and military officials, many people have discussed one after another, and some people even loudly scolded Meng Xie for despising imperial power.
Mengru and the white-haired old man didn't know why Meng Xie did this, only Zhang Ying took a few steps forward, turned around and shouted at Henghuang and the others.
"Meng Xie has his reasons for doing this, why don't you listen to his explanation. ”
But how could these people listen to her?
"Explain, take it first, and then torture him!"
Gonggong Liu couldn't manage so much, and such a thing happened under his nose, which made his face gloomy, and Emperor Heng would definitely hold him accountable afterwards.
It's better to take down Meng Xie first and ask what is going on, maybe this will make Emperor Heng take him lightly.
Seeing that there were soldiers in front of him and surrounded him, Zhang Ying was anxious, looked back at Meng Xie, and could only look at Mengru and the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was silent, but Mengru opened his mouth.
"Meng Xie, don't mess around, hurry back and admit your mistake to Emperor Heng. ”
Meng Ru knew in his heart why Meng Xie would do this, but he always thought that Meng Xie would use a step-by-step method, but he didn't expect the other party to be so reckless.
Now, we can only try to redeem it, if Meng Xie Ken bows his head and admits his mistake, things may have a turnaround.
Meng Xie shook his head, he had already made a decision in his heart, and said firmly: "Elder Meng, today's matter is Meng Xie's private matter, forgive me for not listening to you." ”
Hearing this, Mengru also knew that Meng Xie had made up his mind, and sighed heavily.
Seeing Meng Xie say this, Gonggong Liu sneered on his face, and said with a sharp voice: "It seems that you have premeditated, and the people who come will not take him down, what are you waiting for!"
At this moment, Emperor Heng's face was pale, his lips were tightly closed, and his eyebrows were twisted together, which also showed that he was in a very bad mood.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded Hula.
Meng Xie stretched out his hand, dragged Zhang Ying behind him, took a step forward, and released his momentum.
The cultivation of the Nine Rank Martial Arts Master was immediately revealed.
I saw one of the soldiers, holding a spear in his hand, stabbing forward.
The snow-white tip of the spear went straight to Meng Xie's chest.
Meng Xie smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the spear, took it into his arms, and leaned forward.
"Let go!"
With a low shout, Meng Xie raised his leg and kicked the soldier in the stomach, kicking the other party out with one kick.
The soldier's body formed a parabola and landed on the bodies of the other soldiers behind him.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the square of the Taihe Temple.
When the people turned around, they found that many people had already arrived in the square.
However, instead of seeing the expected festive scene, the people were somewhat stunned by the confrontation in front of them.
Meng Xie peeked at the crowd and found the figures of Zhao Liang and the others, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Heng.
"Emperor, don't you want to know what I'm going to do? I'll tell you now!"
After saying this, Meng Xie turned to face the people in this square, put his left fist on his chest, and shouted loudly!
"Kirin!
A slogan of the unicorn army resounded throughout the Taihedian Square.
I saw that in the crowd of the people, several figures jumped out of thin air and came to the front of the crowd.
"Zhao Ming, the adjutant of the Qilin Army, rehabilitates General Tuoba Hong!"
"Cao Kui, the commander of the Qilin Army, rehabilitates General Tuoba Hong!"
"Qilin Army Logistics Officer Zhang De, rehabilitate General Tuoba Hong!"
"Li Liang, a soldier of the Qilin Army, rehabilitates General Tuoba Hong!"
......
One by one, the figures stood in front of the crowd, loudly saying their official positions and names, their voices excited, and they all wanted to rehabilitate General Tuoba Hong.
And Meng Xie also jumped forward, landed in front of Zhao Ming and the others, turned his body and looked at the Henghuang people who were high above, his left fist was still on his chest.
"The three-star military officer of the Qilin Army, Meng Xie, on behalf of the entire Qilin Army, rehabilitates General Tuoba. ”
"The general has been loyal and martyred all his life, and although he died, he must not be infamous and left to future generations!
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the square of the Taihe Temple.
No one thought that Meng Xie, who was in the limelight in the Young Hero Competition, was actually an officer and soldier of the Qilin Army.
There is also the courage to say that on this day of commendation, he keeps saying that he wants Emperor Heng to rehabilitate Tuoba Hong!
The civil and military officials present all looked at Emperor Heng.
As we all know, Tuoba Hong's holy decree was issued by Emperor Heng himself, and now they want to rehabilitate Tuoba Hong, they are nakedly slapping Emperor Heng in the face!
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!
Gonggong Liu narrowed his eyes when he saw Emperor Heng, knowing that Emperor Heng had already made a killing move, and hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers around him to arrest these people.
There were many soldiers around, wearing armor, and surrounded Meng Xie and the others.
Some officials who saw the opportunity quickly also opened their mouths.
"Meng Xie, are you worthy of the reward that Emperor Heng has given you?"
"That's it! Tuoba Hong colluded with the enemy army, the evidence is conclusive, then you can say that you will be rehabilitated, where will you go to Emperor Heng!"
"Tuoba Hong is innocent of death, the crime deserves death, Meng Xie, you are going to kill yourself!"
Looking at these officials who spoke, Meng Xie sneered, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "Lang Lang Qiankun, do you dare to face your conscience when you say that?"
"What's wrong with the general! For the sake of the Chu State to fight on the battlefield, he didn't go home for several years, but he was beheaded on a trumped-up charge!"
"Under the Lang Lang, there is still heavenly reason, and there is justice!"
"If Heaven has eyes, and he can't get used to your actions, he will punish you!"
The words fell, and there was rolling thunder in the sky, which seemed to be for Meng Xie to strengthen his momentum.
Immediately after, someone in the crowd let out an exclamation!
"It's snowing, it's snowing!"
Sure enough, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky, melting instantly when they landed on the ground.
Snowing in June, there will be grievances!
Even God can't stand it, but imagine how big Tuoba Hong's grievances are!
"Look at it, it's snowing! Even God is crying out for the dead general, Emperor Heng, is there anything wrong with me rehabilitating the general!"
"Emperor, you are talking!"
Meng Xie was passionate, sad and angry, looked at Emperor Heng who was speechless, and questioned again and again.
"Do you think Tuoba Hong has been wronged?"
Emperor Heng looked at Meng Xie, his eyes flickered, and he asked rhetorically.
"But I don't think I'm wronged! Do I need to explain what I do? No, I want him to live, he will live, if I want him to die, he will die!"
"In the country of Chu, I am the sky!
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"
"He Tuoba Hong, what grievances are there!"
Emperor Heng's words made the people in an uproar.
Even civil and military officials were moved.
"Everything he Tuoba Hong has been given by me, of course I can take it back, including his life!"
"Besides, the evidence is conclusive, and he has nothing to quibble about. ”
"I don't need to explain!"
With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, a few words from Emperor Heng completely reversed the situation.
Many people also looked at Meng Xie and them suspiciously.
After all, Tuoba Hong is dead, and the evidence is indeed sufficient.
Reasonably, he is really innocent!
"You're lying!"
A crisp voice mixed with anger shouted at the Emperor.
Zhang Ying was on the high platform of the Jinluan Palace, pointing at Emperor Heng, with a sad and sad face!
Kicking and kicking, she walked down the steps in a few steps, stood beside Meng Xie, and said loudly: "I know why you killed Tuoba Hong!"
Zhang Ying's words made the sect people look at her.
Her face was sad, two lines of tears appeared in her eyes, and she choked up and said: "Because you are jealous, you are afraid, you are afraid that Tuoba Honggong will be the master and become the second one-word king!"
"I'm afraid? joke!" Emperor Heng sneered and looked at Zhang Ying, "Is it necessary for me? The entire Chu State is mine, do I need to be afraid?"
"Why don't you need it, the tragedy of our Zhang family back then was an order from you personally, I saw countless black-clothed people saying that they had taken your order and let my Zhang family chicken and dog not stay!"
"My father also said that he fought side by side with you back then, and he knew a lot of secrets, and this murderous disaster came from here!"
The tragedy of the Zhang family was concocted by Emperor Heng?
This fact, coming out of Zhang Ying's mouth, shocked everyone. (To be continued.) )
