The forty-eighth chapter, dissecting the heart and mind
As the proverb goes: Dare to compete with evil ghosts, and don't give up half a point to the overlord.
Tianpeng learned from the pain, sighed, endured the grief in his heart, and said categorically: "In this case, you might as well face the reality, I believe in my subordinates, you believe in your report letter, each has its own opinion, it is difficult to convince the public." It's better to pass the Jade Emperor and have a three-hall trial, I'd rather have rotten skin and meat, than confuse right and wrong, and suffer injustice through the ages!"
Wang Lingguan nodded and said: "This suggestion is very good, it can calm the anger of the people, and it can also dispel everyone's suspicion of me, killing two birds with one stone, I agree with both hands!"
Everyone returned to the marshal's tent, Tianpeng had a gloomy face, and waved his hand: "Tie Fengyuan up for me and put it into the big tent!"
When the generals saw the six-member group carrying out the search mission with solemn faces and respectfully carrying a small golden wooden box, they discussed for a while, guessing what kind of "play" was about to be staged. Because this sentence is tantamount to announcing in public unmistakably that the evidence of Fengyuan's crime has been found!
Tianpeng saw the generals' lost souls and didn't know why, although his heart was dripping blood, he still made a forced smile on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in the big tent. He tried his best to speak tactfully: "Just now, according to the report letter in Wang Lingguan's hand, we asked for fish according to the map, and unexpectedly, the farce of the Arabian Nights was really staged in our Tianhe troops. As you know, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was a robbery that happened at midnight yesterday, and this was told to us by Wang Lingguan himself!"
Wang Lingguan nodded: "Yes, the midnight robbery is true." ”
Tianpeng continued: "And last night, for our Tianhe troops, it was a 'sleepless' night, because from night to dawn, we all gathered in this big tent, forgetting to sleep and eat, studying the Tianhesheng incident that happened bizarrely, and no one left a step, including Fengyuan. ”
Everyone unanimously said: "Yes, it is a matter of the reputation of the troops, who is willing to swallow this breath for no reason;
The third adjutant even said: "I sat with Feng Yuan all night yesterday, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he stole two longevity fruits from me to satisfy his hunger!"
Tianpeng said: "Things are strange in this place, one is Fengyuan at the military meeting, and the other is Fengyuan who broke into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall at night, which one is true?"
Wang Lingguan said: "Feng Yuan is a general in your army, haven't you ever learned the 'doppelganger technique'?"
Tianpeng glanced at Wang Lingguan in surprise: "Lingguan Da Manification is unfathomable, don't you know that even if this doppelganger technique is perfect, it only has an appearance and no primordial spirit, let alone the ability to talk high-minded and walk through walls?"
Wang Lingguan's face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck: "What the marshal said is extremely true, the old man has practiced for so many years and visited famous teachers, but in the end he still doesn't know anything about the doppelganger technique. ”
Tianpeng sneered twice, ignored him, raised his hand, and ordered: "Nine Heavens Kill Children, you go, bring Fengyuan directly into the account!"
The Nine Heavens Killing General was submissive, took the military order, called a few soldiers, and went to mention Fengyuan with a black face.
After a while, seeing that Feng Yuan was tied up by five flowers, his face did not change, he raised his head with his chest straight, calm, talked and laughed and walked into the marshal's tent, stood in front of the canopy casually, and asked loudly: "Marshal, I don't know what law Feng Yuan committed, but he was tied up?"
Tianpeng Suxi Fengyuan's straightforward surname, seeing him ask this, he was in the middle of it, so he deliberately slammed the startled wood on the table, and shouted and asked: "Fengyuan, are you guilty?"
Feng Yuan's eyes were blank, and he looked innocent: "Marshal, since the lower official entered the barracks, he has been self-denying and dedicating himself to his duties, and he does not dare to think about it at all.
Tianpeng said: "Don't be aggrieved first, you have reason to go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason." Last night, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was stolen, the Jade Emperor was furious, and Lord Wang Lingguan Wang was ordered to bring a report letter to my Tianhe troops to collect the murder. Unfortunately, you were shot, and the person and the incident on the report letter were completely consistent, showing that you were the perpetrator, what do you say?"
Feng Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Lingguan, as if he was looking at a visitor from outside the world: "No, Lord Wang, I had a one-night meeting in this marshal's tent last night, and I didn't leave an inch, so I didn't have the time to commit the crime at the first point." The Lingxiao Treasure Hall is heavily guarded, and the guards are all super-first-class players in the Heavenly Palace, and I dare to touch the egg on the stone with the kung fu of the 'three-legged cat'? This is tantamount to a mouse giving a cat as an escort------ asking for money and not dying, I don't have the motive and means of committing the crime on the second point, and I conclude that I am the perpetrator based on a report letter from nowhere, is it too much to take it for granted?"
Wang Lingguan saw that the war had led to him, and he knew that this was Tianpeng playing a trick to transfer flowers and trees, and he was angry and annoyed, only to feel dumb and eat Coptis chinensis------ he was suffering and had nowhere to send fire, because this was someone's territory. After thinking about it, he was still a good man who didn't eat the immediate losses, and made up his mind, so he smiled all over his face, and sighed vigorously: "Originally, there were a lot of doubts, and I was also undecided, but Your Majesty insisted on going his own way, and we, as courtiers, dare to disobey?"
Fengyuan's eyes widened, and he didn't let people know: "Since there are many doubts, why are you still indiscriminate, regard human life as 'child's play', and regard the investigation of cases as 'acting'?"
Wang Lingguan saw that Feng Yuan dared to contradict him, he was furious, stood up with "Teng", pointed at Feng Yuan, and was angry: "Feng Yuan, you don't want to fake the tiger, no one in your eyes, let me tell you, we investigate the case, we have always seen rabbits and eagles, although this time it is only an inexplicable report letter, but no coincidence does not write a book, people have stolen goods, iron cases are like mountains, no matter how clever you are, you can speak well, and there are accomplices to play gongs for you, but the power of the sky is vast, and even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't turn over the case!" is arguing with words, you come and go, and I listen to a shout outside the tent: "The holy decree has arrived, take the decree!"
Immediately, in the tent, both officials and errands, sitting and standing, silent, facing the north, knelt together in unison.
The Yellow Gate official held the holy decree in his hand, walked in step by step, and sang the edict: "I am glad to hear that Wang Shiqi has won the victory, and he has captured a suspect, and the stolen national treasure has returned to Zhao." In addition to being overjoyed, Tianpeng, Tianyou, and Wang Lingguan escorted the suspect to Dali Temple, and together with Dali Temple, the three halls will be interrogated, and the checks will be strictly controlled, not only to find out the suspect's motive for committing the crime, but also to dig out the behind-the-scenes instructions, and admire this!"
Kowtowing to thank him, Wang Lingguan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said with a cruel smile: "Marshal, it's really a good thing and a lot of grinding! I understand your feelings, but now this matter has alarmed Your Majesty again, the king's fate is like a mountain, and you and my brother will be disobedient and disrespectful to this again." He turned back and bowed to the Huangmen official, with a smile on his face, "Brother Tai, I'm sorry! There are still some small things that have not been done here, please take the first step, go back to the palace and tell Your Majesty, saying that I will immediately escort the suspect to Dali Temple, strictly interrogate him, enforce the law impartially, and dare not have any personal interests. ”
The Huangmen official did not pay attention to Wang Lingguan, but faced the canopy, and made a heavy "sigh" sound, explaining: "Marshal, Your Majesty knows all the details, as if you have seen it with your own eyes, how dare you not bow your head when you are under the eaves? You have to think twice, the water here is too deep!" The Yellow Gate official chattered, shook his head helplessly, and went back to reply to the decree with a shake.
In this case, the canopy is only sentimental and helpless.
Huangmenguan is an old acquaintance of Tianpeng, an upright person, and a close relative of the Jade Emperor Zhang family. Even Wang Lingguan's generation, who is willing to pick a bone in the egg, has to praise others for being a master and bold, and when he speaks, he hides a needle in his mouth, although he knows that he has been stabbed, he can only swallow and spit and endure it.
Fengyuan clearly knew the dilemma of Tianpeng at this time. He was tied up by the "Bundle of Immortal Ropes", but it was the brothers who tied him up, and they moved their hands and feet in private, and the "Bundle of Immortal Ropes" only symbolically wrapped around him a few times, and there was no substantial oppression and restraint, so Fengyuan was not distracted to resist the ** injury and pain brought to him by the bundle of immortal ropes, and he could think about how to wash away the shame and injustice imposed on him, and how to return the innocence of himself and the entire Tianhe Army. is fantasizing that things have a turnaround, the world Bao Gong Tiangong took a tour, found out the mastermind behind the scenes to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for him, and promote righteousness, but unexpectedly, a holy decree, regardless of 3721, will be sent to Dali Temple in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, with great fanfare. This is a bottom-of-the-mill approach that focuses on the process rather than the outcome. The quartermaster of the Tianhe army swaggered through the city, and there were guards of the Son of Heaven in front of him to open the way, and then there were guards of the Son of Heaven with live ammunition, as if they were facing a great enemy, calling and hugging each other, not on official business, but because they committed a shocking crime and were arrested and detained. How bad is this trick, by "creating" public opinion, because this is definitely the news of the explosive surname, a gust of wind will be a household name, old and young will know, and then the big and small immortals who do not know the truth seem to believe in such a logic: the Tianhe troops have a false name, in fact, they are all chickens and dogs and thieves, and even the Lingxiao Treasure Hall dares to steal and rob, what kind of things can't be done?
Fengyuan is discouraged, he knows that he has walked into a "dead end", looking forward and backward, left and right, there is no way out, there is no way back for you, you think it is a "trumped-up" crime, but you have no evidence to prove your innocence, only insiders testify that Tiangong will not believe it, on the contrary, from you found stolen goods, do you still have something to say?
Feng Yuan's surname is strong, he would rather bend than bend, and he has been innocent all his life, but he was painted with black marks of shame for no reason, which made him unbearable no matter what. Thinking of the scene that he will be paraded through the streets for a while, his teeth are bitten, his heart is horizontal, and it is better to break the kettle and die to prove his innocence. After making up his mind, Feng Yuan became complacent, not because death caused him to have a mental breakdown, but out of a sense of mission. Fighting to the death and being generous to righteousness has been the ideal kingdom pursued by heroes all their lives since ancient times, and when the disaster is approaching, it is a heroic act of crying ghosts and gods and laughing proudly at the world with the power of loneliness to save the group in danger?
Feng Yuan casually looked at the intimate robes gathered in the marshal's tent one by one, trying his best to freeze their voices and smiles in his memory, in the urging of Wang Lingguan, he finally looked at the canopy affectionately with his eyes, endured his sadness, and said extremely quietly: "Marshal, don't bother for me, this big drama has just kicked off, the drunkard does not mean to drink, as the saying goes, 'Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, the intention is Pei Gong', and also says, 'The people are not afraid of death, why should they die'." I can't leave the camp gate, and if I take a step out of the camp gate, I will fall into the trap of the conspirators, and the charges imposed on me will not be cleared by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
Wang Lingguan clapped the case and shouted: "Fengyuan, don't be obsessed and claim to be innocent, why don't you dare to go to Dali Temple to face the court? I see that you still have a ghost in your heart, and you are ashamed to see people!"
Feng Yuan laughed wildly a few times, and changed color angrily: "Don't think that you turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, point to the deer as horses, and do whatever you want! Dark clouds can't cover the sun, I believe that the day of reckoning with you is not far away!"
Wang Lingguan was furious when he heard this, and he took the case: "Fengyuan, you are bold and disrespectful to this official, you will regret it, let's ride a donkey to read the record book------ and we'll see!"
Feng Yuan sneered contemptuously a few times, and did not pay attention to Wang Lingguan, but turned his head to Tiancang, and said calmly: "Marshal, our Heavenly Palace's eternal iron law of 'people are doing, the sky is watching', a person does not do anything bad in his life, even if he is framed, a heart will always be red." I'm going to take my heart out and let those turtle bastards who framed us see if I'm black or red?"
When Tianpeng heard this, he was shocked and blurted out: "Fengyuan, be calm, don't bear the anger of the moment, it is difficult to achieve a century-old plan." Reason goes all over the world, unreasonable is difficult to move an inch, you know that you are framed, you have a wrong, you have a debtor, grit your teeth, don't drill the horns of the bull, and call the relatives and enemies fast!"
Feng Yuan smiled miserably: "Marshal, the soldier can not be humiliated, with death to show the will, since ancient times, I show sincerity with my heart, I believe in justice and freedom in the hearts of the people!" Saying that, Feng Yuan's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted, "Marshal, brothers, don't leave it here!"
Seeing this, Tianpeng screamed, spat blood, his eyes went black, and he fell backwards.
