Chapter 395: Between life and death, human nature is the most tested
At this time, outside the gate of the main hall of the Ministry of Officials, the two of them were tied up with five flowers, their hair was scattered, their faces were extremely pale, and blood stains kept flowing out of the corners of their mouths.
"Isn't this the Praetorian Commander and Deputy Commander? What's wrong with these two? ”
"I don't know? Why did the chief kill them? ”
"These two are the most trusted people of the director?"
The officials and officials were all confused when they saw this scene, and they talked about it.
"I heard that the two of them are in the shadows of the Zhu God Temple." An official with knowledge of the matter shook his head and sighed.
"What?!"
When the words fell, everyone was shocked.
The people in the dark department of the Zhu God Temple actually infiltrated their ministry?
The importance of the six divisions of the national capital is self-evident, the Zhu God Temple has no officials and no lords, and its duty is only to guard the frontier, so dare to send people to keep an eye on them?
For a while, in addition to the shock, the people were panicked, and the ghost knew if there would be people in the dark side of the Temple of the Punishment God by their side.
Shang Yongzheng sat on a high seat, closing his eyes and pondering.
In the prison just now, he wanted to kill the two directly, but before he started, a thought flashed through him.
The reason why the two of them were taken outside the main hall to be beheaded, in addition to deterring, was to attract them to show up in the temple.
Among these two people, there must be people from the dark side of the Temple of the Gods, or both.
The soldier was about to be beheaded, and he didn't believe that the temple would not come.
If the identities of the two can be proven, all the civil and military officials are witnesses, such a move, after reporting to the lord of the country, according to the law of the country, it is enough to convict him of the death of the lord of the temple Yebei.
The Sixth Division of the National Capital, the core department of Huaguo, does not allow others to peep at half a point.
But right now, the two of them swore to death and didn't admit it, even if they killed them, what could they do?
Identifying the identities of the two and condemning Yebei to death is the best policy.
Of course, it would be better if the three overseas mercenaries had already killed Yebei at this time.
But at present, the life and death of Yebei are unknown, and it is necessary to take this opportunity to take a two-pronged approach in order to be foolproof.
Outside the door of the main hall, Liang Cheng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, kept trembling, obviously terrified.
is about to be in a different place, who is not afraid?
Who is the person in the dark department of the Zhu God Temple, he knows it well, and only he and Yuan Hui know about this matter.
Yuan Hui is his deputy commander, he once saved his life, and he has a lifelong friendship, but the reason why he doesn't say it is that he doesn't want to betray his brother.
But when it comes to life and death, it is the most test of human nature.
"Elder ......"
At this point, Liang Cheng struggled fiercely in his heart for a long time, and finally spoke.
"I have been with you for nine years, and in these nine years, I have been loyal and have never betrayed my ministers."
At the moment of life and death, even if it is a fateful friendship, it seems pale and powerless at this time.
As the words fell, Shang Yongzheng slowly opened his eyes, and the yin owl's gaze fell on Yuan Hui.
If these two people are in the shadows of the Zhu God Temple, Shang Yongzheng is still inclined to Yuan Hui, after all, Yuan Hui has only been by his side for five years.
"Yuan Hui, as long as you admit it, I will spare you from death." Shang Yongzheng said slowly.
This is not an empty word, Yuan Hui's life and death are not important, not to mention, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, what he said is a promise.
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Hui's face was expressionless, still silent.
"Yuan Hui, just say it, the chief said that he wouldn't kill you, if you don't say it, I will die with you!" Liang Cheng saw that Yuan Hui was still silent, and couldn't help but roar angrily.
This is invisibly, and it is also clear that he is not a member of the dark department of the Zhu God Temple.
Yuan Hui smiled bitterly and closed his eyes silently.
"Chief, this Yuan Hui is a traitor! I, Liang Cheng, swear to the sky, I have never done a thing to betray adults, otherwise, the sky will thunder! ”
Liang Cheng roared like crazy, his psychological defense line completely collapsed, no feelings, no brothers, his own life is important.
What's more, he is not a traitor in the first place, he Yuan Hui is.
Shang Yongzheng pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Let Liang Cheng go and take him to heal." ”
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie."
Liang Cheng was loosened, and he kept thanking him, and his life was finally saved. looked back at Yuan Hui, and opened his mouth slightly to say something, but after all, he still didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Shang Yongzheng waved his big hand, called a soldier, and said in a low voice: "Kill him." ”
Regardless of whether this Liang Cheng is a traitor or not, a person who is so afraid of death will be betrayed sooner or later, how can he be kept.
After a moment of silence, Shang Yongzheng spoke again: "Yuan Hui, why be so persistent, admit your identity, and you will leave safely like that Liang Cheng, as for the Zhushen Temple behind you, I will not pursue it, after all, it also belongs to Huaguo." ”
Shang Yongzheng continued to speak out to break through Yuan Hui's psychological defense.
Yuan Hui slowly raised his head and looked sideways at the top of the main seat, "Chief, I am the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Ministry of Officials, not the soldiers of the Zhu God Temple. ”
Shang Yongzheng smiled slightly when he heard this.
With a snap of his fingers, a wisp of true qi burst out, directly penetrating Yuan Hui's shoulder blades.
The blood suddenly surged, Yuan Hui clenched his molars, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't say a word.
Shang Yongzheng's face was gloomy, his fingers did not stop, and four true qi burst out one after another, directly breaking the tendons and veins of Yuan Hui's limbs.
"Poof......
A mouthful of thick blood spurted out, Yuan Hui's already pale face was bloodless at this time, if he wasn't tied to the pillar, he would have collapsed to the ground directly.
"Still don't say yes?" Shang Yongzheng said coldly.
Yuan Hui spat out the remaining blood in his mouth, his eyes were closed, and he stopped talking.
His identity, even if he is dead, will not reveal half a word, this is the most basic belief as a soldier of the dark department.
There was a faint roar in the air, and a black dot approached rapidly in the sky.
Shang Yongzheng sneered, Zhu Shentang, finally came.
That's the proof of that.
A roar swept through the air, and two figures galloped down.
Looking at the white-clothed dance in front of him, Shang Yongzheng's eyes were extremely gloomy, Yebei, he was still alive.
Did the three of them not do it yet, or did they fail?
But it doesn't matter at this time, the people in the temple are placed in the Ministry of Officials, stealing state secrets, and having bad intentions, only this one, Yebei will not be able to live.
"Yebei, your hands in the Temple of the Divine Gods have stretched out long enough, and they have all reached out to my officials." Shang Yongzheng didn't smile and said slowly.
Ye Bei looked at Yuan Hui and saw the blood all over his body, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Central Plains, untie him." Yebei sighed.
"Yes!"
Lu Zhongyuan stepped forward and cut his rope with a knife, Yuan Hui's body suddenly weakened, and Lu Zhongyuan caught it.
"Envoy Lu An, Lord Beiwang, I am the deputy commander of the Ministry of Officials, so I don't need you to save me." Yuan Hui struggled to break free, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.
Lu Zhongyuan hurriedly stepped forward, but Yuan Hui roared angrily: "I said, I don't need you to save me!" ”
Lu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, isn't this Yuan Hui a person from the dark part of their palace?
