Chapter 06: Pressing Forward



On the official road to Yunyang, more than a dozen horses, more than a dozen people walked alone, the first one, wearing a black spacious robe, he was Pang Delong, who had just resigned.

After the first battle of Yongqiu, Li You died in battle, Pang Delong also had a fear of war, he did not want to return to the battlefield, this time after sending Li You's ashes back to Li's house, Pang Delong completely disbanded his old department, only a few cronies did not want to leave, so they had to follow Pang Delong quietly on the way back to his hometown,

Warriors fight a hundred battles, several angelicas, Pang Delong believes that this is his most correct choice, away from the battlefield, away from the world,

At this time, the sun was shining, Pang Delong wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, looked back at the relatives who refused to give up on him, and smiled helplessly: "There are twenty miles away, and we will reach Yunyang, everyone is insisting on persevering,"

Several cronies nodded, led the horse to follow Pang Delong and continued to move forward, suddenly, on the distant official road, like thunder, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, everyone was shocked by the sound of horses' hooves, they looked up, only to see that on the road when they came, there were about 100 horsemen, galloping, and soon, 100 cavalry regiments surrounded Pang Delong and others, led by a hundred chiefs, and shouted on the horse: "Who is Pang Delong,"

"I am," Pang Delong faintly felt bad, he took a step forward, but the hundred chief waved his hand and shouted: "I am ordered to arrest the fugitive Pang Delong, and the rebels will be killed."

The officer waved his hand, the cavalry rushed up, several people who wanted to resist were shot on the spot, and several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists pressed Pang Delong to the ground with their backhands and tied them with ropes, at this time, Pang Delong's heart was horrified, and he couldn't help shouting: "What is my crime, don't wronged the good people,"

"If you are guilty or not, you go and talk to Xianyang Ling," Bai Chang saw that Pang Delong had been tied, Nayl turned his horse's head and ordered: "Take it away,"

Xianyang belongs to the county, Yan Legao sits on the top, below, Baichang led a few people, hurriedly escorted Pang Delong into the lobby, and the soldiers on both sides shouted "mighty",

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, a wind // wave is about to be set off, and the source of this wind // wave will be pulled away from Pang Delong's body, at this time, Yan Lego sat on it, he squinted at Pang Delong, although Yan Le didn't ask anything, but Pang Delong has faintly felt that he seems to be involved in a power struggle,

"Pang Delong, you recruited from the truth, when did Li You start colluding with Chen Sheng," Yan Le finally spoke, his voice was low, his eyes were blazing, staring at Pang Delong, there was a short silence, Pang Delong sighed: "My general Li You has never colluded with the bandit army, this must be someone framed and framed, please be aware of it,"

"Hmph, we already have a lot of evidence, do you still want to deny it," Yan Le didn't give Pang Delong a chance to defend himself, he stared at Bai Chang on the side, and ordered: "Go to the big punishment,"

Baichang sang a promise, handed a gesture to a few government soldiers, several government soldiers rushed up, pressed Pang Delong to the ground, the killing rod has been hit to Pang Delong's waist, every time he hits, there will be a muffled sound, on the side, a government soldier shouted loudly, is checking the number: "one, two, three......"

Pang Delong endured the pain and did not scream, but when the killing rod hit the thirty-seventh blow, Pang Delong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "My lord, please check clearly, we are wronged......"

Suddenly, Pang Delong fainted, and above, Yan Le snorted coldly and ordered: "Take him down and keep him under strict supervision,"

,,,,,,

Half an hour later, Yan Le hurriedly came to Langzhongling's mansion, Zhao Gao had just rushed back from Ganquan Palace at this time, and the two government soldiers had just sent the carbon pot, Yan Le hurriedly walked in, and arched his hand beside Zhao Gao and said: "Father-in-law, that Pang Delong's mouth is very hard, we might as well draw a ...... directly."

Seeing that Yan Le did not obtain a confession, Zhao Gao was slightly displeased, and scolded: "Who are you Li Si, he is a left-hand minister, although His Majesty has promised to strictly investigate Li Si, but once this matter is decided, Your Majesty will definitely secretly investigate and verify, if we don't handle it properly, it will lead to burning, so Pang Delong's confession must be admitted by himself,"

"But ......" Yan Le still wanted to defend himself, but Zhao Gao had already straightened his face and shouted: "No, you have to find a way to knock out the confession,"

"I know, however, I think that once Pang Delong suddenly dies in prison, and before he dies, he has been detained, isn't it the best of both worlds," Yan Le said softly, suddenly, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart, why didn't he think that if Pang Delong died violently, even if Hu Hai wanted to investigate, there would be no proof of death, thinking of this, Zhao Gao coughed dryly, looked at Yan Le, and said in a deep voice: "You weigh this matter, you must be clean and tidy, don't cause me any trouble,"

Yan Le saw Zhao Gao's acquiescence, his heart was happy, he sang a promise, and left in a hurry.

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining, Yan Le hurried to the prison, at this time, Pang Delong had already woken up, lying motionless in the cell, Yan Le observed for a moment, and said to a government soldier: "Pull him to the torture room,"

Yan Le gave an order and hurriedly walked towards the torture room, and soon, Pang Delong was brought in, and at this time, the door of the torture room was closed, leaving only a few of Yan Le's henchmen standing beside him.

The room was very dark and damp, and more than a hundred kinds of torture instruments were all over the torture room, which made people shudder, at this time, Yan Le had already gotten up with a cruel smile, walked around in front of Pang Delong, and sighed: "General Pang is a person who understands, he has been in the army for many years, and he should know that shielding Li You will not do you any good, you are still ......."

"Phew," Pang Delong spit out a mouthful of blood on Yan Le, and said with a cruel smile: "If you want to kill or chop, obey orders, Lao Tzu is still not afraid of a hundred battles, is he afraid of you Yan Le?"

If it was a few days ago, Pang Delong was indeed afraid of death, he was tired of the war, but today, when Yan Le pushed Pang Delong to the brink of death, Pang Delong felt that there was no fear in his heart, he would not betray Li You because of the fear of death, nor would he be frightened incoherent because of Yan Le's intimidation, at this time, death became a relief for Pang Delong,

Yan Le was completely enraged by Pang Delong's words, he looked at his henchmen on the side, and shouted: "Punishment, no matter what punishment, I just want Pang Delong to confess his guilt,"

After speaking, Yan Le walked out of the torture room, the door was closed again, and soon, an extremely terrible howl came from the room,

At this time, Yan Le was sitting on a clean soft mat, drinking tea, and a henchman hurriedly walked in and said: "My lord, Pang Delong has fainted again, and the brothers dare not use torture anymore, for fear that he will not survive and die in the torture room,"

"Then you don't need to ask questions, just draw a charge for him," Yan Le sneered, and his henchman hesitated slightly, but soon, his henchman understood what Yan Le meant and left in a hurry,

Yan Le lowered his head and tasted tea again, and then slowly got up, in fact, he could directly draw a charge to Pang Delong, and then execute him, but Yan Le never wanted to do too much, he wanted to give Pang Delong a chance, and also gave Zhao Gao a satisfactory reply, as long as Pang Delong was willing to confess, Yan Le didn't need to take the step of forcibly drawing a charge at all, but at this time, Yan Le had to do this,

With a light sigh, Yan Le strode out of the cell,

That night, Pang Delong died violently in prison,

,,,,,,

Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai has just rushed back from Ganquan Palace, today is Deng Mei's birthday, Hu Hai intends to stay with Deng Meiren, but Zhao Gao ordered someone to send a letter, saying that there has been major progress in the Li Si case, and the circumstances are bad, so Hu Hai had to rush back.

In fact, Hu Hai could have summoned Zhao Gao in Ganquan Palace and listened to his report, but another news came, Li Si came to Xianyang Palace in a hurry early in the morning to ask for a meeting, I don't know, Li Si heard something and wanted to explain something, but no matter what the reason was, Hu Hai must not sit idly by this time,

Moreover, Li Si has come many times recently and wants to break his comfortable life, which makes Hu Hai extremely dissatisfied with Li Si, and it is precisely because of this that Hu Hai is extremely concerned about Li Si's affairs.

At this time, in the side hall, an inner attendant brought tea, the tea Xiao Xiaoran was steaming, but Hu Hai had no intention of tasting tea, on the table, it was Zhao Gao who had just submitted the case investigation, among them, there was Pang Delong's confession, Hu Hai was checking it at this time,

Li You promised Chen Sheng to divide Guanzhong equally, because Wu Guang's high power threatened Chen Sheng's position, so Chen Sheng pretended to order Wu Guang to discuss // Xingyang, but in fact, he wanted to use Li You's hand to get rid of it.

Zhou City entered the customs, the generals asked for orders to send troops to rescue Guanzhong, Li You did not allow it, strict military discipline, there are those who dare to enter the customs, there is no forgiveness,

Zhang Han's voice was shocked, swept Zhang Chu's army, and approached Chen County, Li You wanted to take the opportunity to rebel and aid Chen Sheng, but suddenly there was an urgent report, Chen Sheng was defeated, and Li Younai resigned.

Xiang Liang swept the land of the old Chu, the prestige was shocked, Zhang Han sent troops and battles, defeated in Dong'a, Li Youxiang led the army to aid Zhang Han, has come here to win the trust of the imperial court, but the road met Xiang Yu, defeated,

If it weren't for Li You's defeat, I'm afraid that today, his father and son would have joined forces to betray the entire Qin State.

Hu Hai angrily threw Pang Delong's confession aside, and looked at the investigation of Li Si, which roughly said that Li Si conspired with Zhang Er to sacrifice Guanzhong to meet Zhao Jun, but the only condition was that Zhao State could not ally with Chu State, and Zhao State would stand firm in Guanzhong in the future, and he needed to swear to the east to eliminate the Chu army and kill Xiang Yu, and the two sides reached an agreement, but the time was not ripe for the time being.

When Hu Hai saw the last paragraph, the words 'the time is not ripe', his eyes widened, and he said hatefully: "Li Si, you have made a good deal,"

Hu Hai threw Pang Delong's confession and all the documents for Li Si's investigation in front of Li Si, Li Sihu was hesitant, picked up the bamboo slips, looked at them roughly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty, these are all trumped-up charges, and the minister is wronged,"

Li Si "poofed", knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Please Your Majesty to check ......"

Hu Hai was already carried away by anger, he had no intention of listening to Li Si's defense, he only hated: "You step down first, I will investigate this matter strictly,"

Hu Hai's decision made Li Si a little desperate, he suddenly glanced at Zhao Gao angrily, and said hatefully: "The minister knows, it must be Zhao Gao who framed and slandered the minister, please Your Majesty to investigate,"

After a pause, Li Si stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Gao, and said: "Zhao Gao bewitched His Majesty to levy forced labor and forcibly repair the Afang Palace, which has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and the Quartet is ......."

"That's enough," Hu Hai snorted violently, got up and said angrily, "You get out of here,"

"Minister......" Li Si still wanted to speak, but Hu Hai had already slapped the imperial case angrily, and said hatefully: "Come on, blast Li Si out,"
