Chapter 2025: The Emperor is Angry
"Emperor, with your many years of experience in the same dynasty as Saranzhou, how is this person?"
"Salanzhou has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and his mind is meticulous, and this money bag must contain deep meaning. ”
Death Ascension turned to the black skeleton and asked, "He just gave you a money bag and didn't say anything?"
The skeleton shook its head.
Dead and Reborn stared at the money bag and fell silent again.
That's why he doesn't want to deal with officialdom, can't he say anything happily?
"I see. A voice shattered the silence, startling the contemplative crowd.
A general beside Murong Hong said: "Salanzhou must have said that he was short of money and wanted us to send him money." ”
Everyone thought he had a high opinion, but it turned out to be so plain.
Which Legalist is short of money? They often want greater benefits than money, but this is also understandable, who will do things for you if there is no benefit? People die for money, birds die for food, the truth has been true since ancient times, and the death ascension has already written all the benefits in the letter, and the death ascension thinks that the benefits he promised are enough to make Salanzhou tempted, so there is no question of Salanzhou continuing to ask for benefits.
Murong Hong glared at the general, and the general immediately retreated.
The crowd was once again lost in thought.
Above the court hall of the Kingdom of God, the ruler sat on the dragon chair, reading with relish.
"What's wrong with you?" the Commander asked, putting the letter aside.
Salanzhou knelt down and said, "The minister has never written a word, and he has replied to a word." ”
"But I heard you left him a purse. ”
Salanzhou was slightly stunned, but he didn't seem too surprised, and said with a wry smile: "That's because the minister thinks that the skeleton is asking the minister for some errand money." ”
The Commander squinted at Salanzhou, and said coldly: "Salanzhou, are you an idiot?"
Salanzhou hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is true. ”
But the commander didn't want to hear what he said anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Go to prison and hand it over to Yousi for trial." ”
Salanzhou couldn't help but shake his whole body, and two big words were written on his face: It's over.
Yang Zongheng stood at the door of the prison of the Criminal Department and was a little embarrassed, shouldn't the trial of prisoners be the business of those officials? Why let himself come?
Fortunately, Zhang Ben will try it with him.
Sitting in the lobby, Saranzhou had already been brought up.
At this time, although Salanzhou didn't want to be conservative and destroyed by ordinary prisoners, his face was still full of frustration and unwillingness.
Zhang Ben asked someone to bring a chair for Salanzhou to sit down.
"Salanzhou, this official asks you, do you plan to take refuge in Murong Hong alone or lead the entire Salan family to Murong Hong. ”
Zhang Ben stared at Salanzhou tightly.
"I said I didn't plan to join Murong Hong at all, do you believe it or not?"
"I don't believe it. Zhang Ben said crisply.
Salanzhou looked at Yang Zongheng.
Yang Zongheng glanced at Zhang Ben and found that Zhang Ben was also looking at him, Yang Zongheng was a little big, this trial was too hasty, he didn't ask anything, is it just to make a decision?
"I don't know. Yang Zongheng said this expressionlessly.
Saranzhou smiled, a smile of despair.
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. ”
Zhang Ben sneered and said: "There are three hundred mages of the Salan family, you defected to the Kingdom of God, but you only brought thirty people, and the remaining twenty-nine people, after you were arrested, those twenty-nine people escaped from Lindu overnight, there is no ghost in your heart, why do you want to run?"
"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature, the Great God Kingdom has lost trust in the Salan family, of course they have to escape, and I think it is good to escape, I tried my best to defect to the Kingdom of God against public opinion, but I ended up like this, I have no eyes, and it is not a pity to die, but let me affect the family, then what face do I have to see the ancestors of the Salan family?"
Zhang Ben sneered: "Have eyes but no beads? Just based on your words, you really don't have a pity to die." ”
After that, he said to the left and right: "Put Salanzhou on death row, and behead him in three days." ”
At night, the streets of Lindu are surprisingly quiet, the lanterns of the shops on both sides shine a dim light, and the faint water vapor is like a white mist, which adds a mysterious atmosphere.
Click, click
The silence of the street is broken by a crisp sound.
A man wearing a black cloak slowly walked towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Stop, do you know what this place is?" one of the guards stepped forward and scolded.
The black-robed man slowly raised his head, and the guard immediately opened his mouth wide, only to see the giant suddenly come to the guard, and the guard finally fell to the ground without making any sound.
The guards on the other side saw that the tall skeleton man was already frightened, and sat on the ground, emitting a disgusting smell.
"Take me to prison. The skeleton man spoke.
The guard tried to stand up, but his legs were already like noodles, and he couldn't stand up at all.
The skeleton shook its head and pointed at the guard, who tilted his head unconscious, not knowing whether he had fainted or died.
The Skeleton Man encountered no obstacles along the way, as everyone who encountered him fell to the ground before they had time to call for help.
Eventually, the skeleton man came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and he stood in front of the Salanzhou prison and said, "The master asked me to pick you up. ”
The voice is hoarse, like a worn-out bellows.
Salanzhou glanced at the skeleton man and said with a wry smile: "You still don't think I'm enough? If you hadn't come to me and send me a letter of Rausch, would I have ended up where I am today?"
The skeleton man didn't say much, pinched the chain, and with a slight pull, the chain was torn off, and then the skeleton man stood aside and let Saran come out.
Salan refused to move, as if he still had some concerns.
At this moment, only one voice was heard: "Senior Saran, do you really want to die in this kingdom of God?"
Salanzhou turned his head, and saw a man dressed in white walking forward, the man was only in his twenties, but his face was arrogant, even for him, the elder of the Salan family, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Which onion do you have to do?"
The man took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and threw it to Salanzhou, Salanzhou caught the jade pendant with some doubts, and when his eyes fell on the jade pendant, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the man with an unbelievable face.
The man bowed slightly and said, "Yan Ping of the Law Hall." ”
Salanzhou frowned and said, "Didn't you agree to the Northern Expedition of the Kingdom of God?"
Yan Ping said slyly: "But victory or defeat is not up to us. ”
Salanzhou smiled bitterly and said, "You guys are playing with the kingdom of God as a fool." After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "In this case, I have a lot of more, I hope Xiaoyou will take care of it." ”
Yan Ping said lightly: "It's easy to say." Then the three of them walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department.
"Someone has escaped from prison. Suddenly, someone shouted. Then I saw several white lights rushing into the sky.
The skeleton said to Salan, "I'll lure them away." With that, he threw himself into the air and flew out of the city through the void.
Those white lights really went after the skeletons.
After that, Salanzhou and Yan Ping turned into a breeze and left Lindu.
Several mages surrounded the skeleton by the lotus pond in Saran Province, thinking that the skeleton had nowhere to hide.
I saw the skeleton make a "gurgling" sound, as if laughing, and then plunged into the lotus pond.
Unbeknownst to the mages, there was a waterway under the lotus pond that led to the moat outside the city.
Zhang Ben sat in the inner hall of the criminal department, waving his hand to the mage who came to report the situation, and the mage retreated.
Yang Zongheng looked at Zhang Ben, who was not in a hurry, and was a little incomprehensible: "Brother Zhang, if I go just now, maybe I can catch Salanzhou back." ”
Zhang Ben said with a smile: "It's also a hot potato to catch him back, it's better to let him leave by himself." ”
Yang Zongheng didn't understand.
"From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a court that will personally kill a mage, most of them are handed over to those mages to deal with themselves, and their own people punish their own families, where can they go again, so the mage's crime will only end in the end.
After all, the Salan family is a legalist, and we dare not offend him, so we will let him go. ”
Yang Zongheng was a little surprised and said, "You mean, Salanzhou was deliberately let go?"
Zhang Ben said with a smile: "Don't dare to kill, you can't keep it all the time, I put him in the prison of the Criminal Department just to let him run, I didn't expect this thing to be able to understand my intentions, and he actually ate so much rice in the Kingdom of God, and he didn't leave until others robbed the prison, which is really true." ”
The face of the commander was very ugly, and he looked coldly at the civil and military officials standing on the Danqi, so angry that his fingers were trembling.
It had been seven days since Saran had fled.
The reason why the ruler was angry was because Murong Hong was supported by the dead family in Jizhou, and Murong Hong was quickly recognized by various forces in the north, and finally set up an altar on Tiantai to claim the emperor.
Murong Hong's proclamation as emperor means that the north has become one again, and the chaos after Xiao Jian is no longer there, which undoubtedly creates an obstacle to the north of the kingdom of God.
Some opportunities are fleeting, and at the beginning, the kingdom of God asked for money, money, and people, and as long as an order was given, the army could go north.
The probability of restoring the ancestral country is nearly ninety percent, and the only variable is a dead family in Jizhou, but the eight Legalists account for seven of the kingdoms of God, which is a sea of people tactics, and the dead families will not be so ignorant of current affairs, as long as the dead family loosens their mouths, then the north will become the territory of the Kingdom of God again.
But now, the dream of great unification seems to have become only a dream.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Bang", a jade cup was smashed on top of the main hall by the commander, and the ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids immediately knelt on the ground.
"Tianzun Mountain. The Dominion gritted his teeth and pronounced the name fiercely.
After a long time, the commander finally calmed down, and said lightly: "All the ministers listen to the order, the Jiangbei hometown has been lost for a long time, I don't want to recover the homeland, now the kingdom of God is strong, but the people in the north are not living, I want to personally lead the army, cross the river to subdue the lost land, save the people of Li from fire and water, and the people are hanging upside down. ”
When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs heard this, he was stunned at first, and then the minister wanted to stop it.
The commander said lightly: "My heart has been decided, don't worry about it at this time, say a word more, and punish it as a crime of resisting the will." ”
The Commander said very lightly, but almost all the ministers felt the murderous aura, and they could even almost see the heads of a few unlucky people falling to the ground.
