Chapter 109: The Sinner
In the meeting hall of the General Military Mansion, Wu Zhengzheng sat high in the hall with a huff, Tianci, Tan Yunyue, county Yin Liu Zhen and other civil and military officials stood under the hall, the atmosphere was very tense, and the soldiers and guard officers on both sides did not dare to come out.
"Bell!", Wu Zheng slapped the shocking wood on the case, pointed at the nose of Tianci and scolded: "You little Quyang general soldier is too rampant, don't you, dare to take charge of your own initiative, and promise Tufan to hand me over to them as a court official and a secret envoy of the court? What do you mean?! Are you going to rebel?!"
"Come on, take down this thief for me!" Wu Zheng roared in the lobby.
But none of the soldiers standing on either side of the line moved, and Wu Zheng looked at Deputy Chief Tan with some annoyance, thinking that this is your chance, it depends on what you do.
Tan Yunyue was very embarrassed and hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to see it, he knew very well that the officers and soldiers in the General Soldier's Mansion were only under the dispatch of General Zhang, and the others could not be transferred.
The twenty guard officers brought by Wu Zheng saw that no one moved, and when they saw Wu Zheng signaling them with his eyes, a few of them stood up and wanted to step forward to take Zhang Tianci.
"Wait, I have something to say. Zhang Tianci said very calmly.
"Imperial court officials, I don't dare to take it without permission, but the court criminals are punished by everyone, you shouldn't have any doubts about this, right?" Tianci turned to everyone and said.
"What do you mean?" Wu Zheng asked sharply.
"May I ask if Lord Wu once served as the envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, who was specifically responsible for the production and transportation of the iron ore mines and weapons factories in the Northern Jin Dynasty?" Tianci asked Wu Zheng.
"So what?"
"Smack!" With a bang, Tianci threw five account books on the lobby and said sharply: "This is the good thing you did! Lord County Yin, please read to everyone the contents of this account book." Tianci said and handed over an account book to Liu Xianyin.
After Liu Xianyin took the account book, he began to read it aloud to everyone, and after reading less than a page, the whole hall was shocked and immediately discussed. Wu Zheng's face turned pale suddenly, he didn't understand, why Zhang Tianci had this thing in his hand, didn't he already put these things away.
"What are you? This is slander, slander!" Wu Zheng shouted angrily.
Tianci unhurriedly picked up the two account books and handed them to the two guard officers next to them to read them for themselves.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly broke in outside the lobby, and saw nearly a thousand heavily armed iron cavalry soldiers holding sharp blades and rushing in through the gate of the lobby, and soon surrounded the lobby tightly. And Liu Jiujin personally led more than 50 people to stand outside the gate.
After the soldiers were all in place and standing, Tianci turned to point at Wu Zheng and said in a loud voice: "Take down this treason minister for me!"
As soon as Tianci's words fell, Liu Jiujin and all the other officers and soldiers were still standing in place and did not make any moves.
Seeing this, Wu Zheng's tightened heart was slightly lowered, and his face showed a smug expression.
Tianci turned to the twenty guards and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you to do it." Wu Zheng, the criminal minister, led you and others to the Western Regions this time, under the pretense of the imperial court, for a selfish gain, to sabotage the armistice agreement between the two countries, and to cause disputes between the two countries, which is a crime on top of a crime. You have already seen these situations with your own eyes, and now Lord Ben will give you a chance to arrest the criminals and judge and punish them according to the law, and you can be exempted from all the blame for the past!"
The twenty guard officers knew their situation very well, and at this time, if they didn't do it themselves, they would be convicted of the crime together with Lord Wu Zheng, and all the officers and soldiers under Zhang Tianci would be punished.
No one wants to sit with the criminal Wu Zheng and be punished in such an unexplained way. The two leading guard officers exchanged glances with each other, then drew their matching swords, waved their hands, and the twenty guard officers rushed towards Wu Zheng together.
Wu Zheng was taken aback at this time, and he didn't expect that the people he brought suddenly turned against him, and immediately pulled out the matching sword from his waist, and fought with the guard officers.
Tianci beckoned everyone to step aside and sit on the side to watch the tiger fight. He knew that the martial arts of this Lanling guard officer Wu Zheng were very good, and if he let his soldiers come forward to arrest him, he would definitely kill and wound a lot, and now that these twenty internal guard officers have made a move, it is expected that Wu Zheng will have to be captured without a single pillar of incense.
These masters are really powerful, and in less than a while, Wu Zheng was subdued, and there were more than a dozen guards standing in the circle, and they hadn't done it yet.
After Wu Zheng was tied up, he was brought down by Liu Jiujin for interrogation.
Tianci returned to the lobby, sat back in his handsome chair, looked around at the people below, and then spoke: "Tufan's team is coming to the city, besieging each other, and wants us to hand over Wu Zheng and Yuwen Haotian, what do you think, what do you think?"
Tan Yunyue is still secretly glad now, fortunately he didn't listen to Wu Zheng just now, and he made a move to Tianci, otherwise he would have been taken down like Wu Zheng now. He cleared his throat and said, "This matter is all up to Mr. Zhang, and I have no opinion." ”
Tianci looked at Liu Xianyin again, and he also shook his head and said that he had no opinion. Tianci said: "These two people are both criminal ministers of the imperial court, and they should not have been handed over to Tufan, but Yuwen Haotian died due to severe poison. I think, anyway, the person is dead, so it's okay to hand it over to Tufan. As for Wu Zheng, after the trial is over, we will see how the crime should be punished according to the law, and then make a decision. What do you think?"
Everyone agreed. At this time, four soldiers carried in a pine coffin, and after the coffin lid was lifted, everyone saw a corpse lying inside, it was Yuwen Haotian, only to see that his face was blue and gray, his lips were black, and he had been dead for a long time.
At this time, a soldier walked into the lobby and walked straight to Tianci's side, this person was Chen Gengsheng, he leaned over and whispered in Tianci's ear: "My lord, according to your arrangement, a carriage has been modified, and now it is parked outside the gate. Tianci nodded lightly and told him to go down and get ready and act according to the plan.
Tianci ordered the soldiers to cover the coffin, carry it to the carriage outside, and prepare it for handover to Tufan.
After another moment, Liu Jiujin came to the court to report: "Lord General Soldier, the criminal minister Wu Zheng, has already confessed according to the truth and drawn a confession on the confession. Please take a look. ”
Tianci took the confession, read it carefully, and put it in his arms. Then he said to Liu Jiujin: "Take the prisoners, climb the city tower with me, and negotiate with Tufan." ”
With that, Tianci led a group of people and others to re-ascend the castle tower, preparing to give a clear answer to General Tozanro of Tofan.
