Ningzhou, the original site of the South Camp of the Ningzhou Army Garrison.

"General, after the counting, our army has lost one hundred and thirty-one people, and more than half of the Ningzhou army has been killed or wounded."

Cheng Jie counted the battlefield and reported the results to Fang Jue's camp.

"How many people are in the Ningzhou army?" Ye Hongyi was on the side and took the opportunity to ask.

"After accounting, the two battalions in the north and south of the Ningzhou Army, plus the people brought into the Ningwang Mansion by Gong Sheng, are a total of more than 34,000 people." Cheng Jie glanced at it, handed the list in his hand to Fang Jue.

After taking it and glancing at it, Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi:

"The Ningzhou Army has overstepped the system."

Ye Hongyi nodded: "The Ningzhou Army has been registered by the Ministry of War, and twelve brigadier generals and 30,000 soldiers are registered. King Ning is a super prince, and there can be 300 soldiers in the palace according to the system...... It's overstepped. ”

Dianyi: "It's going to be a rebellion, can you still care if you exceed the system?" ”

A few people laughed.

"Brother Dian, this is just another crime of King Ning, the more evidence of his guilt is found, the better our errand will be handled." Cheng Jie explained.

There is only one crime of treason, which is too general.

How to rebel?

How to recruit the people, how to buy the hearts of the people, how to privately mint money......

These add up to support and accuse King Ning of the great crime of rebellion.

There is only one rebellion, and that is unnecessary.

If you want to rebel, you have to prepare all the details, and the evidence of these details must be found, otherwise it will not be supported.

This is a conspiracy, and it must be approved clearly, because the disposal will inevitably be like a thunderbolt, and once the mistake is overturned in the future, it is an act of reckless disregard for human life.

Afterwards, the person who handled the case will also be implicated in the reversal of the case.

Therefore, even if you know that King Ning is plotting rebellion, everyone knows about this heart, and you need to have a series of criminal evidence!

In the past few days, Fang Jue has been preparing for this matter, and the case of King Ning is not over if he is taken down.

In this case, for the other party, taking down King Ning was just the easiest thing.

Collecting evidence, investigating party members, identifying related people, etc., this is a huge amount of work.

"Is there something troubled about the general, and the military shouldn't meddle in the details of this kind of case, right?" Wei Feng couldn't help but persuade.

Ye Hongyi said with white eyes: "This is my duty to suspend the sword, why, I can't let Fang ...... Will the general assist in the investigation? ”

"Oh...... That's fine. Wei Feng scratched his head, really wanting to slap himself in a big mouth.

Why am I so brainless......

Fang Jue chuckled: "In addition to the military position of the general of the expedition to the north, I also have the title of young master and the court position of the second rank superintendent, not counting the military, I can also assist the Hanging Sword Division." ”

"Yes, yes......" Wei Feng was so embarrassed that he almost forgot that his general had a leg with Ye Hongyi.

is mainly a succession of battles, and the two are affectionate and polite, and they don't seem to be intimate at all, which makes people gradually ignore their intimate relationship.

It made Wei Feng's brain twitch for a while, but he didn't expect this layer.

Cheng Jie just wanted to laugh when he saw it, and when Wei Feng saw it, the two gave each other a roll of their eyes.

"Recruiting soldiers without permission, this crime has these evidences, and it can be established."

Fang Jue looked at Cheng Jie: "A few other real crimes, may have been decided?" ”

"The officials of Ningzhou Mansion, I have inquired, it is already a confession that should be confessed, and they admit to colluding with King Ning to rebel." Ye Hongyi also said.

"That's good."

"Shanzhou, do you have any definite news back?" Fang Jue asked.

Shanzhou Battalion, it was said that it was likely to rebel before, Fang Jue was also worried, and even asked Mo Yuan to wait on the official road with the black dragon horse.

Unexpectedly, the Shanzhou camp has not moved, and it has been six or seven days.

Ye Hongyi said again: "The people from the Shanzhou Hanging Sword Division replied, saying that it was impossible for the Shanzhou camp to rebel, and the main general had also reported that King Ning intended to rebel. ”

"Oh, this guy is smart." Fang Jue smiled.

"The Great General......

When several people were discussing a series of incriminating evidence against King Ning, someone outside the camp tent made a report.

"Tell the general, Lord Qin asks to see you."

"Qin Shiyi?" Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi.

Qin Shiyi was brought by Ye Hongyi, and he only arrived in Ningzhou yesterday, what did this Lord Qin do when he came to see him?

Shouldn't he avoid suspicion, he's a member of the Imperial Tower, and it's not good to get too close to him.

"Uh, Lord Qin is coming with the Son of Heaven Sword, we don't dare to stop it, so we have come to inform the general first."

The soldiers said that Qin Shiyi hadn't arrived yet, but it was almost there.

With the Son of Heaven sword in hand, as long as he doesn't want to rebel, then everyone has to fear Qin Shiyi for three points, so he can cross the barracks and no one dares to stop him.

"Then don't stop him, let him in."

Fang Jue scratched his head and looked at a few people in the camp: "You say, what is he doing here?" ”

"What else can I do, the Son of Heaven Sword has been brought." Ye Hongyi shook his head.

Suddenly, Fang Jue's eyes narrowed.

The Sword of the Son of Heaven?

No way......

A moment later, Qin Shiyi swaggered into the camp tent holding a sword with a Xuan-colored sword spike.

Fang Jue arched his hand: "Lord Qin, don't come unharmed?" ”

Qin Shiyi respectfully put the sword on the main seat, and then walked back and bowed to everyone.

When the sword of the Son of Heaven is in his hand, he can't help but be arrogant, representing the majesty of the emperor, and he can't be too gentle.

"Young Master, Lord Ye."

"Lord Qin, please take a seat."

After everyone was polite, they sat down, and Fang Jue said bluntly:

"Lord Qin is here with the Sword of the Son of Heaven, is it something important?"

Qin Shiyi said: "I came to ask, how did the general handle King Ning's case?" ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Qin, I am waiting for His Majesty's will, whether to bring back King Ning quietly or escort him openly...... I wasn't sure about it, so I didn't drive back to Beijing. Fang Jue said.

Several people in the camp did not interject, looking at the two big men, saying something they could not understand immediately.

"Can the young master be sure that King Ning's charges are confirmed?" Qin Shiyi asked.

"That's natural, he colluded with the masters of the Western Chu Overlord Palace to raise a private army, and the evidence is conclusive...... It was enough to accuse him of premeditated rebellion. Fang Jueyi was righteous.

Qin Shiyi understood, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's deal with it as soon as possible, don't embarrass Your Majesty." ”

"Embarrassed?" Everyone in the camp was puzzled.

Fang Jue realized slightly, turned his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven Sword that was flat on his handsome seat.

Turning his head, he frowned and said, "Could it be Your Majesty who asked Lord Qin to return to Beijing with my army?" ”

"Before Lord Ye arrived in Suzhou, His Majesty secretly ordered the lower officials." Qin Shiyi nodded imperceptibly.

Let Fang Jue suddenly open up!

Yes, the greatest use of the Son of Heaven Sword is not to kill those corrupt officials.

Sending Qin Shiyi is not to deal with those pickled people who can't be on the table.

It's for King Ning!

"Then Lord Qin means ......" Fang Jue hesitated a little, although he knew Qin Shiyi, but this matter was very big, and it was impossible to make a conclusion based on his words.

Qin Shiyi said with a smile: "Within three days, Your Majesty should come to make a clear decree and let the young master bring King Ning back to the capital for trial." ”

"This should be the best way to deal with it." Ye Hongyi also understood, the subtext of the two of you coming and going, couldn't help but interject.

Qin Shiyi looked over, shook his head and said, "Let King Ning return to Beijing to be tried and dealt with publicly...... That's to destroy a few clans, how many people within the royal family will be implicated at that time, doesn't Lord Ye understand His Majesty's heart to defend it? ”

"This ......" Cheng Jie and Wei Feng finally understood.

It's all shocked!

Ye Hongyi was surprised: "Lord Qin...... With such integrity, how can you be willing to compromise? Shouldn't you advocate that King Ning be tried in public? ”

Fang Jue also held his hands and looked at Qin Shiyi's eyes, this day was too cold, and he couldn't always burn charcoal.

Qin Shiyi chuckled: "This official is loyal, not pedantic, and not stupid." ”

"Lord Qin is right." Fang Jue smiled and signaled that Ye Hongyi didn't need to ask more.

The reason for this, Qin Shiyi has already said it obviously.

The emperor wants to protect the people in the royal family and doesn't want to implicate too much, so King Ning can't really go back to the capital to be tried publicly!

Of course, there is another very important reason, Qin Shiyi didn't say it explicitly, but Fang Jue can also understand.

That is, the emperor did not want to leave an image in the history books of his brother who personally ordered to kill his brother.

Therefore, someone has to be the villain for the emperor.

"How?" Fang Jue stared at Qin Shiyi with interest, "Lord Qin, do you go or do I go?" ”

This kind of thing can be done for the emperor, especially since he is still an indispensable minister.

Don't worry, you will be killed afterwards, but you will have a more sacred heart because of it.

Of course, it is true that in Fang Jue's heart, it is best to have fewer such connections, after all, there are indeed many people who are innocent.
