Chapter 74: Common Enemies
The guards of the palace retreated while killing, and Li Gui roared, "Kacha! "A single knife slashed a palace guard who couldn't dodge to the ground....
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Li Gui was stunned, looked at the sound of horses' hooves, and faintly saw a large group of horseback riders galloping towards this side.
Li Gui was so killed, he roared loudly: "Don't care, kill the ugly ghost, 100,000 taels of silver, I will bear all the blame!" ”
Suddenly, the cavalry had arrived, and sure enough, it was a forbidden cavalry patrolling the night, and they were responsible for patrolling the West City, and they happened to hear the shouts of killing.
The officer of the forbidden army rushed forward and shouted: "Everyone raise their hands, and those who act rashly will be killed!" ”
The cavalry of the forbidden army immediately stepped forward and surrounded Li Gui and others.
Seeing this, Zhu Zaimo immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "This son is the second son of the Zhongshun Palace, they assassinated this son on the street, and they will take them down immediately!" ”
The officer also knew Zhu Zaimo, and glanced at the battlefield not far away, and said, "Hum!" The ground is loud, and it is certainly not simple to dare to chase and kill the son of the Zhongshun Mansion on the street, but no matter how Zhu Zaimo says it, he is a clan, as the emperor's private army, he should protect the children of the clan in a reasonable way, thought about it, waved his hand, and shouted: "Come on!" Take them down and send them to the prison of the forbidden army, waiting for His Majesty to send them down. ”
As soon as he gave an order, a large group of forbidden army soldiers surrounded him, Li Gui's face turned pale, and at this moment, a loud shout came from the side, "Stop!" ”
Everyone looked back, and it was Jia Jue who led Jia Gui and others over.
The officer knew Jia Jue, in the battle of Harrier Ridge, Jia Jue annihilated 20,000 Warat cavalry with more than 10,000 infantry troops, and his deeds spread throughout the entire forbidden army, becoming a hero in the hearts of the soldiers of the forbidden army, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Uncle! ”
Jia Jue hurriedly waved his hand, "You have military affairs in your body, you don't have to be polite!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the embarrassed Zhu Zaimo, then looked at Li Gui who was surrounded there, and asked the officer, "What's the matter?" ”
“.....”
The officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Zhu Zaimo, "Second son? ”
Suddenly, Jia Gui shouted loudly: "Hey, young! Isn't this the second son of the Zhongshun Palace? How did you end up here? Am I mistaken? Or is someone taking their oath for bullshit?! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zaimo's eyes burned with anger, and the palace guards on the side persuaded: "Second son, don't get excited, it's important to get serious." ”
Zhu Zaimo held back the grief and indignation in his heart, and said slowly: "My son was having a banquet for friends in the restaurant today, and when he was about to return to the house, he was surrounded by Li Guiling. ”
Jia Jue glanced at Li Gui dissatisfied, this waste, wasted such a good opportunity, and was also taken by others.
"Someone!"
The officer shouted, pointed at Li Gui and the others and shouted, "Take it first and wait for the investigation." ”
A few forbidden army soldiers were just about to make a move, but Jia Jue waved his hand, "Wait!" ”
“.....”
The officer was stunned.
Jia Jue said: "There is no evidence, do you have evidence?" ”
Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment!
Zhu Zaimo gritted his teeth, "The guards of the palace were killed by them in order to protect this son, and now they are lying here, isn't this considered evidence?" The onlookers can all watch.... You! ”
Ranwen
Before he could say a word, he saw several soldiers of the Jia family driving away the onlookers.
Zhu Zaimo's eyes showed an angry glint in his eyes, and Jia Jue said: "The power of the Zhongshun Royal Mansion is monstrous, which people dare to say a word, besides, the second son's big man knows that there is no need to involve these honest people." ”
Zhu Zaimo was stunned, he didn't expect Jia Jue to be so shameless, and shouted: "Just now, these forbidden soldiers saw Li Gui leading the personal soldiers of the Marquis of Jinxiang to chase and kill Ben Gongzi, and he was still shouting loudly..."
Jia Jue shouted loudly: "Li Gui, what did you just shout?" ”
A sentence reminded Li Gui, and he immediately replied: "When I go back to my uncle's words, what I shouted is, 'Ugly ghost, leave the head'." ”
Zhu Zaimo: "Listen, this is his own mouth...."
Jia Jue interjected, "Who is the ugly ghost?" ”
There was silence.
Of course, Zhu Zaimo will not admit that he is an ugly ghost, and others will not identify him as an ugly ghost.
Jia Jue looked at Li Gui and asked, "Since you shouted, then who is the ugly ghost?" ”
"That's him!"
Li Gui shouted loudly and pointed to the palace guard who had just reminded Zhu Zaimo, "This person is related to my brother's death, and I suspect that he is the fish who escaped the search of the Soldiers and Horses." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zaimo's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Li Gui to guess it, at this time, Li Gui pointed to the palace guards who fell to the ground and said, "And they too!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion.
Zhu Zaimo's heart was relieved, Jia Jue's eyes first stared at the palace guards, then glanced at everyone, and then said: "Since it is a personal vendetta, there is no such thing as murdering the children of the clan. Why don't you disperse! ”
"No way!"
Zhu Zaimo refused.
Jia Jue's eyes stared at the guard, and he said, "Otherwise, sending him to the prison of the Criminal Department for trial may have unexpected results." ”
The guard's face was snow-white, "Childe! ”
Zhu Zaimo didn't expect Jia Jue to say such a thing, and he couldn't think of words to refute him for a while, so he had to sneer and said: "Uncle Zhongwu, our two families have no hatred, why do you want to help the Marquis of Jinxiang deal with this son, you know, Li Jiqing embarrassed the Jia family at the housewarming banquet, have you forgotten all this?" ”
"Huh!"
Jia Jue chuckled, "For a long time, it was you who said that the two families had enmity, and now it is you who are loyal to the royal mansion that say that there is no hatred." I'm all smudged! ”
Speaking of this, he looked at the crowd around him and asked, "Did you say yes?" ”
"Hahaha!"
Jia Gui and the others perked up and burst out laughing.
The officer was stunned, and all the soldiers were in a commotion and discussed.
Zhu Zaimo was also taken aback, and then said loudly: "These are his words, you can't be trusted, Li Gui killed the palace guards, the human and material evidence is there, the evidence is ironclad, and there is no room for quibbles!" ”
"Since that's the case, then enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to decide."
Zhu Zaimo suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, maybe Jia Jue had evidence in his hands that was unfavorable to him.
The officer reacted, stepped forward and said, "Second son, once Your Majesty is alarmed, he will definitely investigate thoroughly, including these palace guards, I can't say it, I will also search the entire palace." ”
Zhu Zaimo's face changed, and he finally sighed, understanding that the emperor's hand must not be allowed to reach into the Zhongshun Palace, you must know that the two spies in the palace are still buried in the broken courtyard, and there is no chance to transport them out.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Gui coldly, "Today's matter, this son has confessed!" ”
He glanced at Jia Jue deeply again, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
"Wait!"
Li Gui said loudly: "Although I am avenging my brother, I still understand the rules, five hundred taels of funeral expenses per person, and I will send it to the house early in the morning." 100,000 taels, I don't know when I will spend it! ”
Zhu Zaimo calmed down instead, and said, "Then thank you." ”
Jia Jue, the officer, and all the soldiers on the side were shocked.
Looking at the palace guards who were cleaning up the corpses, the officer sighed and asked Jia Jue, "Uncle, look?" ”
Jia Jue: "You have reported the truth, it has been so long, and there is no news from everywhere, can't you still see it?" ”
The officer's eyes lit up and he nodded deeply.
.........
In Jia Jue's outer study, Jia Jue and Li Jiqing were talking at night, Li Jiqing's arrival was completely expected by Jia Jue, from a certain point of view, they could be regarded as walking on the same front.
"Thank you for today's incident, uncle, otherwise that evil obstacle will be over, not only that, but it will also affect the entire Jinxiang Hou Mansion, and the descendants will not be filial!"
Li Jiqing sighed slightly: "Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time, in the final analysis, it is still an old relative like the Jia family who will help the Marquis of Jinxiang in the end. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jiqing took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Jia Jue and said with a smile: "This is a letter written to me by that old thing from Wu Shichang, he promised to find a way to help me with an errand in the Ministry of War, and it is estimated that he is the right attendant of the Ministry of War." ”
Jia Jue opened the letter and looked at it, it was indeed Wu Shichang's handwritten letter, and there was Wu Shichang's private seal below, so it couldn't be faked.
Jia Jue thought about it and said with a smile: "This letter can be described as a relief in the snow for the Marquis of Jinxiang. ”
Li Jiqing sighed and said, "What kind of charcoal in the snow?" It's just that I want to divide our Xungui lineage through me, and everyone can see the situation clearly, the first battle of Xuanfu played the prestige of the Xungui military, and the King of Shu also realized that we must pay attention to our noble generals, no, the civil officials are in a hurry. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jiqing dipped a little tea and wrote the word 'loyalty' on the table, and said: "Recently, the King of Shu, the King of Liang and the civil officials have focused all their attention on the Xungui military, I am worried that the Zhongshun Royal Mansion will take the opportunity to accumulate strength, I heard that the ugly ghost has been in frequent contact with some undesirable officials recently, including many high-ranking officials like Song Liang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials."
Your Majesty didn't say anything, I suspect that Your Majesty intends to use the Zhongshun Palace's palace to split the civil official group, so that it will be connived and sit back and watch the Zhongshun Wang's line grow, which will be troublesome for us. ”
Jia Jue was silent for a long time, he knew that what Li Jiqing said was not alarmist, it was likely to be the truth, this was the emperor's means, in order to maintain the stability and balance of the court situation, in the emperor's heart, whether it was a loyal minister or a traitorous minister, it could be used, and even use the hands of the traitor to murder the loyal minister, and then wait for a period of time to behead the traitor on the grounds that he was deceived, rehabilitate the loyal minister, and harvest a wave of people's hearts by the way.
This time, he rescued Li Gui, just to pull the Marquis of Jinxiang into the carriage against King Zhongshun, and the Marquis of Jinxiang has the support of the civil officials, and he can get some information, which is also a weakening of the civil officials to a certain extent.
