Chapter 401: Counterattack
Liu Dongquan fell to his knees, unable to even raise his breath to speak. Zhao Heng flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, it's really good!"
Although he said it was good, everyone understood that it was not good at all. Liu Dongquan actually dared to make a move in front of Zhao Heng, this disrespectful charge could not be escaped.
Chen Ao laughed secretly in his heart, without waiting for Lao Tzu to make a move, Liu Dongquan would kill himself, no wonder me!
He took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, look at it, this person still dares to do something in the main hall, and he doesn't even take you seriously!"
Kou Zhun was angry that Chen Ao looked like a villain, and said angrily: "Your Majesty has its own ruling, how can you be allowed to fan the flames here?"
Chen Ao obediently shut up. People are a big man in the dynasty and a big man in history, and it is better to provoke less of them.
Only then did Kou Zhun say to Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, let's interrogate the rebel as soon as possible!"
Zhao Heng nodded, and asked the commander of the forbidden army first: "How did you catch the people?
The commander of the forbidden army honestly told what had happened. Bianjing City houses are compact, and fires often break out. The forbidden army stationed in the city was accused of fighting the fire, and this man led the army to fight the fire. When his team rushed to a fire spot, they saw dozens of people fighting at the scene, all of whom were martial arts masters.
At first, the forbidden army just felt that the fight between these people would affect the firefighting, so they opened their mouths to stop. Who knew that as soon as those people saw the forbidden army, they actually took the lead in attacking the forbidden army. Although the forbidden army was numerous, they did not bring a sword, and they were caught off guard by a wooden bucket and basin in their hands. Luckily, they had enough ropes with them, which were used to tear down houses and walls. So the forbidden army immediately formed a formation, surrounded the dozens of people, and tied them with lassoes. Although a few masters escaped, most were arrested.
The forbidden army did not care about these people, so they first left them aside, put out the fire, and then went to contact the people who put out the fire elsewhere. After contacting several places, I learned that such fight scenes exist everywhere. Only then did the commander realize that this matter was not trivial, so he ordered people to gather the people who were caught, and there were dozens of them. The commander of the forbidden army did not dare to call the shots, and first reported it level by level. Who knew that his immediate boss didn't know what to do, and finally went to the Privy Council for instructions, but heard that the privy envoy had entered the palace. So the order was passed down one by one, and the commander was asked to take people directly to the imperial city to ask for instructions.
The man's talent was not very convenient, and he had some stage fright, and he finally made it clear after talking for a long time. Zhao Heng nodded, then pointed at Liu Dongquan and asked, "Why are you with him?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually...... Lord Liu was also accidentally caught by the small one...... Later, Lord Liu showed the token of the Imperial City Division, and the little one released all his people. ”
Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and asked again: "You mean, Liu Dongquan was leading people to participate in the fight at that time?"
The man nodded. Zhao Heng's face sank, and he said a little angrily: "Who told you to let his people go?"
The man was a little aggrieved. Although Liu Dongquan's official position is not high, he is a person next to the emperor, how dare he offend such a person?
Zhao Heng also thought of this, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's not your fault." Then he said to Fang Baishi: "Fang Qing, did you hear that? I ordered you to arrest all the people who followed Liu Dongquan, and if there is resistance, you will be killed!"
He paused, and then said, "Forget it, you better stay here, just send someone back to dispatch people!"
Fang Baishi called over a guard and explained a few words. Liu Dongquan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and he could hear the conversation just now clearly. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged! I took people with my humble duties to arrest the traitor Chen Ao, not to participate in the riot!"
Kou Zhun seized the opportunity and said, "Liu Dongquan, what are you going to do, and you haven't made it clear to Your Majesty?"
Liu Dongquan also seized the opportunity, and hurriedly broke into the palace with the intention of Chen Ao that he had secretly collected, and waited for him to do it, so he told everything about the arrest of others.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ao sneered: "Liu Dongquan, you don't make a draft if you lie." Lao Tzu obviously entered the palace after lunch. Isn't it ridiculous that you're taking people out into the streets to arrest me?"
Liu Dongquan said angrily: "I know that you have entered the palace, and you will never be able to escape, so I will arrest your comrades!"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "It turns out that you have this idea! If it is really as you say, I want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty." Why didn't you tell Lord Fang about this matter, and didn't tell Your Majesty? Even when I entered the palace and might pose a threat to Your Majesty, you didn't come to arrest me, but instead took people out to arrest some inconsequential people. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? I'm so anxious about your IQ!"
Liu Dongquan was in a hurry, and he couldn't talk about Chen Ao. Although what he said was true, in this situation, it was full of loopholes that made it hard to believe. Chen Ao fanned the flames again, and attacked Liu Dongquan's flaws, which made Liu Dongquan's words even more pale.
Chen Ao was gaining momentum, glanced at Zhao Heng, and saw that his face was gloomy, obviously not believing Liu Dongquan's words anymore. At this time, Chen Ao wanted to protect himself no longer had a problem. But he thought to himself, Chairman Mao taught us that it is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and if we don't send Liu Dongquan to the eighteenth layer of hell, there will be constant trouble in the future.
So Chen Ao stepped forward and shouted at Liu Dongquan: "Liu Dongquan, don't pretend." I have already told Your Majesty everything that happened between us. Haven't you been honest yet?"
Liu Dongquan was shocked, looked at Chen Ao and then at Zhao Heng. He thought that Chen Ao had really told Zhao Heng all the insider transactions between the two, and he was confused for a while. He didn't expect that Chen Ao was actually more insidious, and he simply put all the charges on his head.
Chen Ao sneered: "You don't say yes, right? Okay, let me ask you, did you take the silver from my salt gang? Did you take this silver to bribe the state government officials, so that my salt gang only paid a small amount of taxes, and the rest went into your pocket?"
Liu Dongquan neither dared to admit it nor deny it, opened his mouth, and finally just shouted: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you......
Chen Ao sneered: "That's a nice thing to say. When you did bad things behind Your Majesty's back, you didn't think about loyalty, but now you have become a loyal minister? In Shaolin Temple, you still want to control the martial arts and be the leader of the martial arts alliance. You said that if someone else is the boss in the temple, you can be the boss in the rivers and lakes, right?"
This matter is nothing, but Liu Dongquan was already flustered, and he couldn't refute it at the first time. Chen Ao didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, so he said to Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, if he doesn't speak, he will acquiesce!"
Zhao Heng's face was extremely pale, his voice was a little trembling, he pointed at Liu Dongquan and said, "Fang Baishi, this person will be handed over to you." Investigate his crimes!"
Fang Baishi arched his hand and said yes. Liu Dongquan only relieved himself at this time and shouted that he was wronged. Fang Baishi's face was calm, and he was furious. Liu Dongquan not only offended him three or four times, but also committed such a big crime without telling him. Zhao Heng didn't treat him for the crime of negligence, he was already gracious. How could Fang Baishi allow Liu Dongquan to shout anymore? He shot like the wind, "snapped" twice, clicked on Liu Dongquan's acupoint, and removed Liu Dongquan's chin again. In this way, Liu Dongquan finally couldn't make a sound and fell to the ground softly.
Chen Ao looked at Liu Dongquan's appearance like a mess of mud, and thought to himself that a few months ago, this person was still the official of the Imperial City Division. I thought I would never want to fight him in my life, who would have thought that the world would be turned upside down so quickly. The world has changed, and it's really unexpected......
He sighed for a while, and when he saw Kou Zhun glaring angrily, he couldn't help but shudder, thinking, the old man still hasn't given up?
