"Yes!" the deputy general agreed, and came to the envoy who was firmly grasped by the soldiers. The latter's face, which was already much whiter than that of the people of the Qing Dynasty, was now whiter than paper, and said in stiff Chinese: "
I am an ambassador of the empire, you can’t do this to me!”
The deputy general sneered and said: "Emissary? Why didn't I know that an envoy from Tsarist Russia came to the Qing Dynasty recently? Looking at you, you are obviously a spy who sneaked in!" After that, he started searching and quickly searched the envoy.
Of course, the military talisman and the documents held by the envoy were not left out.
The messenger hurriedly said: "I am really a messenger sent by the Tsar, you can't do this to me, let go!"
The deputy general ignored his words and handed those things directly to Hong Zhou. After the latter looked at them, he stared at the blue Wen De with cold eyes and said: "These days, although you have tried every means to evade it, you have refused to hand it over.
The emperor has always treated you mercifully when sending military talismans, and has never punished you. I never thought that you would commit treason and collaborate with the enemy, even at the cost of the military talisman; Wende, you really deserve to die!"
Wende ignored Hongzhou and stared at Mager: "You were originally just a soldier at the lowest level. I didn't care about your background and promoted you over and over again. Only then did you reach your current status. I've never been sorry to myself."
Why did you betray me? Want me to die?!" When he said the last three words, he could no longer control the anger in his chest and roared out.
At this time, how could he not see that Ma Ge was no longer loyal to him a long time ago. All of this today was a trap set by Ma Ge, so that he would die without a burial place!
Maguran said: "Your Majesty has repeatedly promoted your subordinates, and the Emperor has given you opportunities again and again. Unfortunately, Your Excellency has never understood the Emperor's painstaking efforts, and has done things that hurt the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty. This subordinate did so out of helplessness.
, I hope you can forgive me! Furthermore... although you treat your subordinates well, it is the emperor who truly bestows honors and honors on his subordinates, so the emperor is the one to whom his subordinates should truly be loyal!"
"Traitor!" Wen De roared as he punched Ma Ge in the face. The latter did not dodge and took his punch. Bloodshot immediately flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Before Wen De could throw his second punch, the soldiers had already swarmed up and held him down. The latter looked at Mag with a destructive look and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could I have agreed to hand over the soldier talisman?"
To this foreign devil, what a helplessness, you simply want me to die, if you harm me like this, I will kill you!"
Mag wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice: "Maybe I hurt you, but in the end, all this is your own fault. If you hadn't wanted to hurt Brother Twelve, how could you have ended up like this!"
Wen De shouted loudly: "What do you know? I, Amma, have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and I have been doing my best all these years without daring to show any signs of neglect. But just because I did something wrong, the Emperor understands
He ascends and descends secretly, seizes my military power, and wants my life!"
Hong Zhou said indifferently: "When did murdering the emperor's heir become a slightly wrong thing?"
"I didn't kill Brother Eleven. It was an accident. If you want to kill him, you should kill the black bear!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Zhou said: "As for Brother Twelve, losing control of the flames was also an accident.
Accident?"
Wende was speechless by his question. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, I have contributed to the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor should not kill me."
Hong Zhou walked up to him, straightened out his brocade clothes, and said slowly: "Brand robes, jade robes, genuine court robes, court robes, did these things all fall from the sky? Wende, you and your son have indeed made great contributions to the
Imperial Court, so the Emperor bestows you with high official positions and privileges? He gives you an honor that no one else can achieve in this lifetime.
Hua Quan, even if you and Concubine Xin had bad intentions in the future and harmed the twelfth prince, the emperor missed your old relationship and never took your life, but in exchange..." He raised the military talisman and the weapon in his other hand.
The clerk said, "But this is it! Even if the emperor doesn't kill you, the people of the world will not let you go!"
In Wen De's pale and white complexion, Hong Zhou continued: "Wen De, it was never the emperor who wanted your life, but yourself!"
Wende didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that it would be impossible for him to get away with the stolen goods tonight by the Hongzhou people. But he was really not willing to die like this.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Hong Zhou already said to the lieutenant: "Take them all back to the palace and hand them over to the emperor after dawn tomorrow!"
"Yes!" the deputy general responded, and just as he was about to take them all back, Wen De suddenly said: "Of course I am guilty, but as for Mag, he was also involved in the whole thing, including the murder of the twelfth prince.
, even some things were his idea, so he deserves to die!" He hated Ma Ge's betrayal and wanted to drag him to death together!
Seeing that Hong Zhou was silent, he sneered again and said: "I know what you are thinking. Yes, Ma Ge did help you capture me, but today he can betray me, and tomorrow he can betray you and even the emperor. This kind of person simply cannot
There is no loyalty at all. All he cares about is profit. If I were you, I would never keep him!"
Ma Ge stared at Wen De resentfully, then knelt down to Hong Zhou and said: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. This official has indeed done stupid things, but he only followed Wen De's orders and never did what he said."
What kind of idea did I have, and Xianguan soon came to his senses. Xianguan can swear that in his lifetime, he will never dare to do anything detrimental to the emperor, and please give me a clear warning!"
Wende said sarcastically: "You said this to me more than once, but ended up betraying it without hesitation for yourself. As for the oath, it is the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Ma Ge was afraid that Hong Zhou would believe his words, so he said hastily: "Your Majesty..."
Hong Zhou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I will not be instigated by him. You have made great achievements today, and I will report the truth to the emperor."
His words made Ma Ge feel relieved and he bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hong Zhou nodded and said to the deputy general again: "Take it back!"
When Wen De was being escorted past Hong Zhou, he shouted unwillingly: "Ma Ge has no faith at all. If you don't kill him, you will regret it in the future!"
Hong Zhou smiled coldly and said: "I don't need to worry about this matter, Lord Wende. If you have time, you should worry more about the head on your neck. I don't know if your head will still be intact at this time tomorrow!"
Although Wende had already expected that he would not escape the death penalty when Hong Zhou appeared, he still couldn't hide his fear when he heard these words!
It's all his own fault for being blind, believing that Ma Ge, a ruthless and ambitious person, gave him the opportunity to harm himself.
However... he will not let Ma Ge go. He must... must be buried with him!
