Chapter 427 Are you willing to stand up and testify against Wang Shichong
Chapter 427
The ground was full of fallen dead and wounded, and there were countless people kneeling on the ground asking for surrender. There were also quite a few thieves, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, to escape quickly into the darkness.
At this moment, General Dugu finally arrived. Looking at the corpses everywhere, he could hear the sounds of fighting in the palace, and he couldn't help but feel a little lingering in his heart.
After letting his two thousand cavalry begin to surround and suppress the scattered bandits, Duguji learned that Yang Qian had led his army to attack Jiangdu Palace.
He also quickly led a group of confidants into the palace along the long staircase to provide reinforcements.
However, when they arrived, the strong smell of blood in the palace and the corpses scattered in the southwest corner of the palace indicated the end of the war.
When he saw a crowd gathering in front of him and rushed forward to meet them, he happened to hear the argument between Yang Qian and Wang Shichong.
In my heart, I already believed 70% to 80% of the contents of Yang Qian's previous urgent letter. But when I heard someone among the thieves hiding in the blind corner shouting.
When they came here under the orders of the palace supervisor, Duguji had already believed 99% of them.
Wang Shichong's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously reached out and pulled out his sword. Only then did he realize that his sword was not sheathed.
However, this did not prevent him from roaring with a ferocious face. "Kill them, how dare you slander me..."
"Who dares to take action?" Yang Qian was not happy. Why the hell are you pretending to be me? Are you just stupid?
He raised the sword and made a horizontal movement. The blood-soaked blade, which was almost two feet long, was placed across the front of Wang Shichong's neck.
"You, what do you want to do?!" Wang Shichong saw more than ten bows aimed at him uniformly.
There was also the big knife that was slowly dripping with blood, revealing the cold blade, and the voice was so thin that it became toneless.
"Yang Jianjun, wait a minute." At this time, Duguji finally rushed over quickly, followed by a group of elite Zuotun Guards.
#####
The knife in Yang Qian's hand remained motionless, his head turned around, and he nodded slightly towards Duguji.
"General Dugu arrived just in time. Thank you General for trusting me."
"I should thank General Yang for reminding me. It's also a credit to Yang for his alertness. Otherwise, I really don't know what the consequences would be."
Duguji turned his eyes, glanced at Wang Shichong coldly, and then shouted sharply at the hundreds of thieves in the blind corner.
"I am General Zuotunwei, Duguji, the vanguard of the Jiangnan Road march. The person who just said that he is willing to temporarily save your lives is Jiangnan Road Supervisor Yang Qian."
"Who just now said that the Jiangdu County Magistrate and the Jiangdu Palace Palace Supervisor were colluding with you? Is there any evidence?"
Master Zhao finally poked his head out from the crowd and heard what the middle-aged general said.
He looked at Wang Shichong, whose face was blue and white and anxious, with resentment.
"It's me. I'm Zhao Guangyuan, from Jiangdu. I have been serving the palace supervisor for several years and have killed many people for him."
"This time, he sent Secretary Xu to call me to attack Jiangdu Palace, as well as his confidant Wang Laojiu, but these two have already died under my sword."
"Haha, what a joke. General Dugu and Supervisor Yang, please don't be deceived by this man's words."
"As a court official, how could Wang have anything to do with such a thief?
Besides, whether Secretary Xu is Wang’s confidant or not, does he have proof? Wang Laojiu is my subordinate, you killed him and dared to slander me..."
"Slander?" Duguji chuckled, turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at Wang Shichong.
The eyes of this warrior on the battlefield were like awls, making Wang Shichong's scalp explode.
"As the Palace Supervisor knows, I received an urgent report from Supervisor Yang almost an hour ago."
"It's clear that you colluded with the Liu thieves and intended to lead the thieves to attack Jiangdu Palace."
"When I, the general, led his troops to come for reinforcements, a large number of thieves appeared here to attack Jiangdu Palace."
"But when the overall situation has been decided, you directly ordered all the prisoners of war to be killed. You are so intent on killing them all. It seems that you really have a big problem."
"Wang Shichong is not the only one who colludes with the traitor army."
Yang Qian shook his head in laughter, and suddenly shouted, "Is Brigadier Hu here?"
At this moment, Brigadier Hu, who was hiding among the crowd, suddenly trembled, but he could only brace himself and walk out from among the soldiers.
"The last general is here. I wonder why Supervisor Yang calls the last general?"
"Brigade Commander Hu, as the guard of Jiangdu Palace, you conspired with the palace supervisor to lead the bandit army to attack the palace. Don't you know that this is the crime of the Yi people?!"
Brigadier Hu's legs went weak, and he knelt down limply on the ground. "Yang, Yang Supervisor, the last general..."
"If you are willing to stand up, testify against Wang Shichong, and tell the truth, I can swear an oath in public here that I am willing to make a statement to His Majesty to protect your life."
"Seriously?!" Hu Lvshuai's expression of surprise and surprise also fell into Duguji's eyes.
In addition, someone among the bandits had come forward to testify against Wang Shichong. After several confrontations, he also made a decision in his mind.
"I can also come forward to protect you together with Yang Jianjun, as long as you can tell the truth."
With these two high-ranking officials present expressing their opinions in public, Brigadier Hu did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately kowtowed.
"In order to bribe the general, the palace supervisor gave a maid from the palace to the general as his concubine to report his death to the court."
"Since then, the Palace Supervisor has had control over the general, and the general can only listen to his orders..."
"Hu Ping, how dare you talk such nonsense..." Wang Shichong's face was as pale as paper, and he pointed at Brigadier Hu, his heart getting colder and colder.
"This time, because the palace supervisor felt that he had been slighted and insulted by General Tuwan, he was furious and decided to frame General Tuwan, and at the same time, he could claim credit from the court..."
#####
Listening to Brigadier Hu's words, Mr. Zhao over there just provided evidence from the side, coupled with Yang Qian's previous reasonable inference.
The facts were already in front of his eyes. Wang Shichong's face turned pale and he was about to step back when he saw Yang Qian holding the sword in front of his neck like a shadow.
"Priest Palace Superintendent, it's better for you to remain bound."
"I was framed by them and I was wronged. General Dugu and Supervisor Yang, please believe me."
"Haha, believe it or not, it is up to Your Majesty to decide. Take a look at Jiangdu Palace. Your Majesty's favorite Jiangdu Palace."
Yang Qian looked at Wang Shichong, who was being held captive by two armored soldiers, and pointed at the fires that had not yet been extinguished.
"Because you colluded with the thieves, nearly 30% of it was destroyed. Alas... I really don't know what to say to you."
"Take them down and detain them in the camp first, along with Brigadier Hu and Zhao Guangyuan. We will take them all into custody and interrogate them all night."
"In addition, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you, General Dugu, to send someone to listen. This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. After the trial is completed, the matter needs to be reported to the court."
At this moment, Duguji no longer had the contempt he felt when he first met Yang Qian, and quickly returned the gesture.
"This is your responsibility, Yang Jianjun. I will let Yang Jianjun handle this matter. However, the general..."
