Chapter 024: [Truth] (Medium)

I'm Liu Bei.

"What do you mean?" Jian Yong wondered.

"You may have forgotten that it was you who found the Tangmen Meteor Dart in Zhang Yuan that day. Did you betray the Tang Sect? ”

Jian Yong didn't speak.

I continued: "You are not cooperating with the Tang Sect, but Liang Jidong!" ”

Jian Yong immediately said angrily: "Ridiculous! ”

"I think it's ridiculous, but that's the way it is. On that day, you found the blackened meteor dart in the ruin of Zhang Yuan, and you could see at a glance that this was the meteor dart of the Tang Sect, not the meteor dart of another faction. At that time, I was very depressed, you are not a ranger who roams the rivers and lakes, nor is you a person who practices martial arts, but a weak scholar who does not go out of the county. How did you know about the Tangmen Meteor Dart? ”

Jian Yong was dumbfounded for a while.

"You said that it was the Tang Sect's meteor dart that day, and your purpose was not to tell me that the Tang Sect was the culprit, but to remind me that someone was going to frame the Tang Sect. And this person is Liang Jidong. Because the thief Cao Liangji came too fast, so fast that it was impossible. Originally, you had succeeded, and I believed it. But a small detail will sell you: that day in Zhang Yuan, when Liang Jidong came to arrest us. Exactly with two shackles. One for you, one for me, no more, no less. Why? This not only shows that Liang Ji is framing me, but also shows that he already knew that I would reunite with you the night before, and stayed in Zhang Yuan to investigate together. ”

"So how did he know we were going to be reunited? The only explanation is that my reunion with you is a game set by you. If my guess is correct, the situation on the night of the fire in Zhangyuan is as follows: Someone has passed the news of my arrival in Zhangjia Village, Zhuo County, to you in advance. So you began to lay out this false plan. At the moment before I entered Zhangjia Village, you began to slaughter the orphaned people in Zhangyuan, and as soon as I stepped into the gate of Zhangyuan, you would be framed on the spot. But unfortunately, I suddenly turned around and went to the moat to worship my mother, and you don't know when I will return to Zhangyuan. So Suo Xin set a fire, reduced Zhang Yuan to ashes, and then went back to the city. ”

"But I'm back outside Zhangjia Village, and my followers will report my whereabouts to you. So you changed your tactics and divided your troops into two ways. Inform the thief Cao Liang Jidong all the way to 'arrest me', and at the same time order you to go undercover to my side to keep track of my whereabouts. ”

Jian Yong said contemptuously: "What you said is so wonderful, as if you have witnessed it with your own eyes. I want to ask you, is this your speculation? ”

I replied, "Don't worry, I'm not done yet." As soon as you were careful, Uncle Chen was seriously injured and hid in the firewood room and escaped. When you have set the fire, you are gone. But Uncle Chen crawled out. Although he died of his wounds, he sent me an important message. At the beginning, I didn't understand the cause of his death, and it wasn't until Wang Batian's death just now that I suddenly woke up. Although the meteor dart shot into Chen Bo's right chest, it was not fatal. Uncle Chen's death was due to excessive blood loss after hiding in the firewood room for too long. With this in mind, the above situation naturally arises. ”

Jian Yong asked rhetorically, "Even if Uncle Chen's death is the same as you said, so what?" The previous argument was still empty. ”

I said, "Of course you can say that." Therefore the witnesses died. However, don't forget, all the parties are dead, but you are the only one who is still alive. You have already admitted that you have anything to do with the Zhang Yuan bloody case, and it is difficult not to sentence you to death in court. The truth doesn't matter sometimes. The important thing is that there must be justice. ”

"Xuande. You're amazing. It's that we're underestimating. Jian Yong said helplessly.

"Don't praise me, more exciting is yet to come."

"Liu County Order, General He has always believed that you are innocent, so he sent us to save you. Now the truth is revealed, and your grievances have been cleared. Is there anything else that is not clear? Sun Jingxi said.

"Yes. Absolutely. "I'm not in a hurry." Why did Liang Jidong and the county guard slander me? ”

Jian Yong said: "Xuande, your memory is really bad. The county guard was harassed by you when he was a master, and Liang Jidong was also scolded by you. The opportunity for revenge will certainly not be missed. ”

"What about you?" I asked.

Jian Yong was silent again, with a very innocent expression.

Sun Jing hurriedly said: "Although you are friends, there must be some small friction on weekdays. Presumably Jian Yong is a cautious and small-minded person, and he is not angry about the small friction between you, so he took this opportunity to take revenge on you. ”

"You're underestimating him." I said. "I don't remember having such a deep hatred with Liang Jidong, the county guard, and Jian Yong, and I needed to slaughter more than 200 innocent people to accompany the funeral. The real reason is that they are the ten permanent servants. ”

The crowd was shocked.

"It has to start with why I came out of the valley. Ten days ago, it was still the beginning of the year. I received a holy decree from General He in the Baihe Gorge appointing me as the county magistrate of Anxi County. At that time, I was thinking, the appointment of a county decree is just a court document, how can the holy decree be used? It turned out to reflect the importance that General He attaches to me. The herald has a relationship with me, and he has told me a thousand times to be careful of the ten permanent servants. After that, he met two officials under the command of Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, at the boundary bridge: Huang Gai and Huang Chao brothers. They brought me the news: the Ten Attendants had given the League a list of assassins, including my name. ”

"Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that the Ten Standing Servants want to deal with me. However, the county guard and Liang Jidong first rebelled against the Ten Standing Servants, and then defected to General Cheng. I'm also a great general, don't you doubt that they treat me like this? ”

Sun Jing replied: "The county guard and Liang Jidong are pretending to surrender, and General He has long paid attention to them. ”

"That's a good point. That's what Wang Batian told me. So when I came to Zhuocheng alone, the Ten Standing Servants did it. Secretly ordered Liang Jidong, the county guard, and Jian Yong to arrest me and take me to prison. At the same time, let me get in touch with Liu Zhi, the king of the Zhongshan Festival, who was recently moved to prison, that is, Wang Batian. Previously, General He had long suspected that Liu Zhi, the king of the Zhongshan Festival, had colluded with the Ten Standing Servants to hide the emperor's holy decrees. And now the Ten Standing Servants have imprisoned Liu Zhi, and it is obvious that they have fallen out with each other. Liu Zhi hid the holy decree and never handed it over, and the ten permanent servants were very helpless. ”

"So the Ten Standing Servants designed to arrest me in prison and use the hiding place where I extracted the holy decree from Liu Zhi's mouth. However, Liu Zhi didn't say anything. So, the Ten Standing Servants were furious and ordered me to be beheaded along with Wang Batian and Jian Yong. Of course, Jian Yong didn't expect that the ten permanent servants were so hot-hearted, and even he had to get rid of him. Fortunately, you two arrived in time, otherwise, I would have returned to Jiuquan. It's a pity that Wang Batian ......"

"Liu County ordered don't be sad." Zhu Zhi comforted. "The general will definitely treat his family well."

I crouched down and drew my dagger. "In the future, I will use this sword to end the lives of the ten permanent servants! It's a pity that the county guard and Liang Jidong have been wiped out, otherwise, I will definitely be able to ask the other henchmen of the Ten Standing Servants. ”

"Someone, put Jian Yong in prison and wait for General Hou to fall." Sun Jing shouted.

"Wait." I collected my feelings and persuaded Jian Yong: "Xianhe, when the general is being used, as long as you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, I am willing to intercede for you in front of the general, and we will serve the country together." How is it? ”

"Today the defeat has fallen into your hands, and Yong has nothing to say. Just do it! Jian Yong said angrily.

Suddenly, there was a cold light on the beams!

Finally appeared! It can make me anxious to wait. It's not in vain that I said so much! When Jian Yong confessed to cooperating with the Tang Sect in the slaughter of Zhang Yuan, he looked up at the roof, and I concluded that there were people hiding on it.

"Whoa!"

A steel knife slashed down on the beam, and below was where Jian Yong was standing.

I immediately threw the dagger out of my hand.

The sword-wielding shadow gave up the slash and dodged the dagger. The shadow then circled the beams and swooped out of the window.

"Assassin!" Sun Jing shouted and pulled the knife. Zhu Zhi has already chased out.

"Put Jian Yong in prison first." I suggested.

Sun Jing sighed, "That assassin is really fast. ”

"He's Gao Lan!"

"How did Liu County Order know?"

"The assassin used a six-ring steel knife, so it rattled when he swung it." After speaking, I muttered to myself: "It's not enough to kill Liang Jidong and the county guard, I actually want to kill you." Alas. ”

Jian Yong was stunned, and his eyes didn't blink. I understand that he was frightened. He didn't expect that even he would be killed. I walked to the front and picked up the dagger. "Gao Ran is really afraid of death, how can I throw a dagger. It's just a matter of throwing it around. ”

"Xuande!" Jian Yong exclaimed, a look of guilt on his face.

"Come on, take Jian Yong back to prison and take care of it!" I shouted outward. At this moment, there are already shouts of killing outside. "Brother Sun, have you finished the wine and food you ordered someone to prepare just now? Starve me to death. ”

"Let's go and rush." Sun Jing then escorted Jian Yong out of the study. Just as I was about to go out, there was a sudden noise in the wall of the study. Are there still assassins?

Immediately clenched the dagger, flashed to the door and shouted, "Come out." Otherwise, the house will be set on fire! ”

The counter, where a large number of bamboo slips were stored, gradually moved away, revealing a small door in the wall. A slender hand stretched out, and the whole person came out.

It's her! The daughter of the county keeper. On that day, her upper body was admired by me in the bucket. At this time, she was wearing a white veil, with her hair shawl, showing a wonderful figure and taking people's hearts.

Her face was pale, like a wilted white rose. Looking at her face, I suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Who are you?" I asked as gently as I could, not wanting to scare her.

She shook her head slowly.

It turned out that the bodies of the county guard and Liang Jidong were still lying here.

She wanted to faint, but I hurried over to help her. "Who are you? If you don't speak, I'm afraid you will inevitably be like them. ”

"Father-in-law." She stared at the county guard and screamed in horror.

"Did you see the process of the county guard being killed?"

She shook her head and said in a voice as arrogant as heaven, "I hid in the dark room and heard their conversation, and I couldn't see outside. ”

Seeing that she was not lightly frightened, she stopped asking. It is rare for such a weak woman to be able to speak when she sees a dead person. Only then did I find myself holding her, and my heart was in a reverie. couldn't help but beat her faster, and helped her to sit on the desk.

"Your name." I asked, crouching to the side.

She slightly lifted her lips and replied, "Su Yun." ”
