Chapter 979 The Ring
A heavy snowstorm that has only occurred once in ten years also enveloped Zhenyu's tent.
The two-day heavy snowstorm not only froze many cattle and sheep to death, but also caused many tents to be crushed by the snow. This was undoubtedly a miserable winter for the herdsmen on the grasslands.
Ordinary herdsmen don't own many cattle and sheep, and they have to rely on these animals to survive. If a heavy snowstorm comes and freezes their livestock to death, life in the coming year will be extremely difficult.
As long as there are a few livestock, the herdsmen can still live peacefully. Once they lose these cattle and sheep that they depend on for survival, they will have to graze for others in the coming year. It will take many years to rebuild their wealth, and they will also live a lifeless life in the next few years.
Extremely difficult days.
Unless there is a war, you can be rewarded for your merits on the battlefield, so you can get rewards from the tribe, but such rewards require you to fight for them with your life.
Zuo Dadu Wei Zhen Yuchui didn't care about the suffering of the herdsmen.
In the warm tent, the brazier was burning brightly, and the best kumiss was placed on the table. More than a dozen Tutun elders from the tribe sat in a circle, eating large pieces of meat with the kumiss.
"Actually, it's not me that came to you today, but the judge who has something to announce." Zhenyu put down his wine bowl and said with a smile: "In the past few days, the judge He Laiba has made a detailed investigation of the case of Zhenyu Ke's assassination of Abhikar.
The investigation has already yielded results." He looked at the judge He Laiba sitting at the table, raised his hand and said: "He Laiba, please tell everyone about the situation."
He Laiba hesitated for a moment, then finally stood up and said: "After investigation, it can be concluded that at the time of the incident, only Zhen Yuke had entered Abhijia's tent, and the weapon that killed Abhijia was worn by Zhen Yuke.
Leopard bone knife, and Zhen Yuke was caught on the spot when he killed Abhikar, so Zhenyu Ke is indeed the real murderer of Abhikar."
Everyone present looked at each other, and the originally lively atmosphere became quiet.
"He Laiba is the most impartial judge of our tribe." Zhenyu said solemnly: "I believe that everyone here will not doubt the results of his investigation."
Zhen Yutan immediately said: "Everyone's eyes were sharp. That night, it was already certain that Zhen Yuke was the murderer. Tag was worried about unjustly accusing a good person, so he asked the judicial officer to investigate in detail. Now that we have the results, there is no objection.
." He looked at Horaib and asked: "Magistrate, how should we deal with the assassination of Abhikar?"
He Laiba glanced at Zhen Yuchui and finally said: "Abika is the wise elder of the tribe. Killing Abhikar is equivalent to murdering the Great Khan, and is also punished by being quartered with five horses."
"Very good." Zhen Yuchui sneered: "Now that the murderer has been identified and the criminal law has been established, let's deal with it according to the tribal criminal law. Abhijia was killed, and everyone is filled with grief and anger. Only by executing the murderer as soon as possible will everyone feel at ease.
.Heraib, you are the judge, and it is you who will preside over this punishment."
"Captain, do you want to wait until Tag comes back to make a decision on this matter?" One person hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhen Yu: "Uluo Lanso was assassinated, and Tag went to deal with it in a hurry. In such weather, how could it be possible?
Tian Nei will definitely not be able to come back. Although Zhen Yuke is the murderer, he is the right captain of the tribe after all. Many clans in the east obey his orders. If there is no order from Tag, he will be executed now.
...?"
"Are you afraid that those clan clans will rebel?" Zhen Yuchui sneered: "When they faced the enemy, they were indeed commanded by Zhen Yuke, but they were members of the Zhenyu tribe, not Zhen Yuke's slaves. If they knew
Zhen Yuke killed Abhikar, will I still support him? It is precisely because I am worried that some people with ulterior motives will cause trouble because of Zhen Yuke, so I decided to execute him as soon as possible. After Zhen Yuke was executed, those clan leaders
We will not dare to act rashly. At this time, if anyone speaks to Zhen Yuke, it must be his accomplice."
Zhen Yu said with a smile: "Captain Zuo, the people here today are all the Tutun elders of the tribe, most of them are here. Although Wu Qingtage is not here, we are enough to decide Zhen Yu Ke's life and death. As long as everyone does not
If anyone has objections, the execution of Zhen Yuke can be decided now." He glanced at the crowd and asked: "Who among you has objections?"
There was silence in the big tent. Seeing that no one objected, Zhenyu was about to speak when he finally heard a voice saying: "Captain, my personal opinion is that it is better to wait for Tage to come back and make a decision. All along, the tribe has been executed.
All the Tutun elders need orders from the Great Khan. Although He Laiba is a legal officer, he does not have the right to directly execute any Tutun or elder. After the death of the Great Khan, the new Great Khan has not yet been elected, and he will execute You Dadu.
Lieutenant, not following the Great Khan’s order is a violation of the tribe’s rules.”
"Dabulshiluo, do you think that all the resolutions of the Tutun elders can't execute Zhen Yuke?" Zhen Yutan said immediately: "I am the cousin of the Great Khan, Zhen Yuchui is the Zuo Dawei of the tribe, and even more so.
The brothers of the Great Khan, and those present are all Tutun from all the major tribes, as well as many respected elders of the tribe, can it be that so many people can’t compare to Tagg alone?”
Dabosheluo spoke cautiously and said respectfully: "I didn't mean that. I am just a small captain, a vulture shooter who commands the Khan's tent. There are some words that I shouldn't say more. However, the responsibilities of a vulture shooter are not only to protect the generals, but also to protect the generals."
Khan also has to maintain the traditional rules of the tribe, so he has to express his personal opinions."
The Vulture Shooters are the imperial guards of the Khan's tent. Their total number is only five hundred, but they are the most elite soldiers of the entire tribe and are also loyal warriors who guard the Khan's tent.
Dabo Shiluo was just a captain, and his status was actually not as good as that of the Tutuns and elders of the major tents. However, every condor captain was the Khan's most trusted warrior, and they also controlled the military power of the imperial guard of the Khan tent.
, so although his status is not as good as that of the Tutun elders, his words will not be ignored by others.
The Condor Shooters are a very special troop of the tribe. They will only be loyal to the Great Khan. If the previous Great Khan abdicates or dies due to some circumstances, and a new Great Khan succeeds him, the Condor Shooters will swear an oath to the new Great Khan.
Allegiance, but now the new Great Khan of the True Feather Division has not yet been decided, and the Condor Shooters can only wait for the new Great Khan to take over.
During this period, the Condor Shooters will guard the Great Khan's Golden Summit Tent. No one is allowed to enter the Golden Summit Tent until the new Great Khan is confirmed.
"Dabsheluo is right." Zhenyu smiled and said: "To execute the captain, you need the order of the Khan. This is not wrong." He raised his hand and touched his thick beard and said: "Although the new one is now
The Great Khan has not yet been determined, but according to the tradition of our tribe, the person with the eagle head ring can temporarily assume the power of the Great Khan, Dabo Shiluo, am I right?"
Dabo Shiluo frowned and said: "That's right, it's just... Before the Great Khan passed away, he gave the eagle-head ring to Abhikar and instructed Abhigar to put the eagle-head ring on the new Khan's hand.
But Abhikar is dead, and the eagle-headed ring is nowhere to be found...!"
"You are wrong." Zhenyu shook his head and said, "The eagle head ring is not missing." He put his hand into his arms, stretched out his hand, and then opened it. In his hand, there was a shining golden ring with a strange shape and the most conspicuous one.
It is the eagle head carving, which is small but extremely exquisite.
"Eagle head ring!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone else also looked surprised, obviously not expecting the eagle head ring to be in Zhen Yuchui's hand.
"After the incident, I searched in Abhijia's tent and found the eagle-head ring." Zhenyu said slowly and slowly: "Zhenyu's purpose of assassinating Abhijia was just to get the ring. It's a pity that the gods and gods
The spirit of the Great Khan did not protect him, and we found him before we could find him."
Zhen Yutan stood up, crossed his arms across his chest, bowed to Zhen Yu, and said respectfully: "The captain was able to find the eagle head ring, which proves that the god chose you to be the great khan of the tribe, and it was the god who made you the great khan of the tribe.
You lead the tribe to strength."
Several people present immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhen Yu. The remaining people looked at each other with some hesitation, but eventually they all stood up.
"Having an eagle head ring, although it is a blessing from the gods, does not prove that I am the Khan." Zhen Yu put away the eagle head ring and said with a proud smile: "But since the eagle head ring is in my hand, I will choose it in the end.
Before the Great Khan, I think I am still qualified to temporarily assume the power of the Great Khan." He looked at the captain of the vulture shooter, Dabu Shiluo, and said with a smile: "Dabu Shiluo, what do you think?"
Dabosheluo pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Since the eagle-headed ring is in the hands of the captain, then as the captain said, you are indeed qualified to temporarily assume the power of the Great Khan before the new Khan succeeds to the throne."
"Very good." Zhenyu looked at the judge and ordered: "He Laiba, prepare tonight. Early tomorrow morning, Zhenyu Ke, who assassinated Abhikar, will be executed in public. Let everyone know that no matter what,
Whoever kills the wise elders of the tribe will be severely punished."
He Laiba stood up and said respectfully: "He Laiba obeys the order!"
After everyone dispersed, Zhen Yuchui was already sixty percent drunk, but a man wearing a fur coat and a felt hat got into the tent, stepped forward and bowed, and Zhen Yuchui raised his hand and said
"Sit down and talk." After the man sat down, he turned to his side, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Master Liu, you are indeed very wise. You will execute Zhen Yuke early tomorrow morning. As long as he dies, stop him."
The last stone was removed from my feet."
"It's all because of the outstanding special service ability that such a situation happened." That man was none other than Liu Shutong, who was sent by the Liaodong Army. He was wearing a fur coat and felt hat. At first glance, he looked like a grassland man. At this time, he raised his felt hat.
Lifting it slightly, he said softly: "Zhen Yuke's life and death are in the hands of the special service. There is nothing to worry about. It's just... special service, is there no news from Wu Qingtag?"
Zhenyu frowned and said: "I have been waiting for the report, but there is no news yet." Then he raised his eyebrows and said: "But they are my carefully selected warriors, brave and good at fighting, and loyal to me. Zhenyu
