Just when people in the capital were excitedly looking to the northwest, due to the distance, the people in the northwest didn't know that they had become the key to success or failure.
The urgent official documents from the imperial court are still on the way, but the atmosphere in Longgu City is not relaxed.
Outside the official hall, Liu Kui was thrown out by several people. The noise he made attracted people on the street to look over.
"What are you looking at!" the leader of the soldiers shouted.
The people who were about to gather immediately bowed their heads and dispersed.
"Let Xu Sigen out! Otherwise it will be over!" Liu Kui shouted, reaching out to wipe the blood from his nose.
Those people looked at him coldly.
"Go away." They said unceremoniously.
"You drove Fan Jianglin away, and now you have arrested Xu Sigan. What are you afraid of? It is unclear whether Xu Maoxiu and the other five died. Jiang Wenyuan, what the hell are you afraid of?" Liu Kui shouted.
Hearing this shout, the people who were standing in the distance and watching curiously dispersed with a bang. They didn't dare to watch this kind of thing. They heard things they shouldn't have heard and said things they shouldn't have said. A Western thief in the official hall.
The crime of espionage can lead to death in prison.
At the same time, Liu Kui was also punched in the face.
"Tie him up and lock him up for resisting the military order," the leading general said.
Seven or eight people rushed out and surrounded Liu Kui.
Accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, a group of people and horses came from the street.
"What are you doing?" shouted the man on the horse.
Everyone looked up and stood up with their hands down.
"Sir Zhou, this man is drunk and causing trouble in the government hall. We have been ordered to arrest him." said the leading general.
Zhou Fengxiang didn't say anything, he just got off his horse.
"Okay, take him to sober up." Zhao Cheng said at the side, waving his hand.
Several soldiers responded and helped Liu Kui up.
What else did the general want to say? Zhou Fengxiang has already come over.
"Get out of the way." The followers shouted.
The general quickly bowed his head and stepped aside.
"What do you mean by the vice-captain asking you to arrest people?"
In the official hall, Zhou Fengxiang asked with a serious expression.
Jiang Wenyuan, who was sitting a few cases ago, looked indifferent. When he heard this kind of name before, he found it very harsh, but now he felt very calm, just like the cicadas after the autumn could not be called for a few days.
"Xu Sigen spread rumors to stir up trouble and deceive the morale of the army. Naturally, he should be dealt with according to the military law." He said, throwing a memorial in front of him.
Zhou Fengxiang took the booklet.
"Why is he spreading rumors and causing trouble? Stop spreading rumors and causing trouble. It's not troublesome enough." He said, opening the booklet and reading it, his face suddenly changed with annoyance, "What are you doing?"
"The court is in a hurry, so I investigated it as soon as possible." Jiang Wenyuan smiled and raised his chin at Zhou Fengxiang, "After all, this is an impeachment against me, so naturally I have to do my best."
"If you try your best, you should avoid it." Zhou Fengxiang said, throwing the booklet back in his hand, "What is this called? How come you were questioned? How come you were framed?"
"I asked Xu Sigan. Isn't he the victim? Isn't this an inquiry?" Jiang Wenyuan said, "He didn't go into battle, and everything he said was not witnessed by himself, but only heard from others. Isn't this spreading rumors and framed accusations?"
Zhou Fengxiang laughed angrily at him.
"He didn't go into battle, didn't others go into battle? He either saw it with his own eyes or spread rumors, so those who saw it with his own eyes said they were also spreading rumors?" he said.
Jiang Wenyuan seemed to be waiting for his words. When he heard this, he stretched out his hand to support the case and smiled lightly.
"In order to let the supervisor know, all the envoys here have asked." He said, and took out a booklet, "Everyone, from top to bottom, asked clearly and clearly, how did they receive the spy report, how did they do it?"
Arranged tactics..."
The smile on his face disappeared when he said this, and he emphasized the word "tactics".
Zhou Fengxiang's complexion changed slightly.
"...By the way, the only one left is you, the Supervisor. It is not convenient for me to ask. Sir, you know better than anyone else. You can write your own." Jiang Wenyuan said, handing over the booklet in his hand.
Zhou Fengxiang hesitated and reached out to take it, but Jiang Wenyuan did not let go. The two were in a stalemate for a while.
"If you don't trust me, sir, go and ask yourself, ask everyone, and ask clearly." Jiang Wenyuan said word by word.
Zhou Fengxiang reached out and snatched the booklet with a dull expression.
"Thank you, Deputy Commander, for reminding me." He also said every word.
Watching Zhou Fengxiang walk out, Fang Zhonghe, who was waiting in the side hall, walked in and saluted with some trepidation.
"Sir, can I go back, sir?" he asked.
"You can go back." Jiang Wenyuan said.
"Then, Mr. Zhou will not ask any more questions from his subordinates..." Fang Zhonghe said uneasily, turning his head to look outside, where Zhou Fengxiang's figure had disappeared.
"He won't ask." Jiang Wenyuan also looked outside and smiled coldly, "He doesn't dare to ask either."
"Yes, sir, what's there to ask? It's not a glorious thing..." Fang Zhonghe said with a smile. Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Wenyuan looking at him with a stern look.
Fang Zhonghe shuddered and lost his voice.
"Disgraceful? Are you telling me that you abandoned the city and fled first?" Jiang Wenyuan said coldly.
Fang Zhong and Pu Tong knelt on the ground.
"Get out, if you don't think about serving the country again, military law will not spare you." Jiang Wenyuan said with a bit of contempt and disgust.
Fang Zhonghe kowtowed three times, said thank you, sir, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked out.
"It's all this trouble caused by Fang Zhonghe..." said the Qingke staff on the side.
"What kind of disaster is this?" Jiang Wenyuan interrupted them, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't he obey the orders? Didn't he arrive at Linguan Village? Didn't he call the police in time to the messenger at the rear? He didn't lead people to guard with less fear.
City?"
Yes, both.
The pilgrims nodded in agreement.
"Then what trouble did he cause? Is it a crime just because he didn't die in the battle?" Jiang Wenyuan said, standing up, "The battle to defend the city was so brutal, casualties were inevitable, but just because those few people died, they could threaten
The living?"
The guests nodded again and said yes.
"We all know the truth, and those of us who guard the frontier and face the war personally know it, but the civil servants in the capital who ride horses and parade through the streets with hairpins don't know. In their eyes, it is only right that we all die in battle." Someone said.
said.
Jiang Wenyuan looked gloomy.
"We generals will not be rewarded if we win, and will not be punished if we lose. We will be impeached and accused at every turn." He said, "If I accept this trip, then anyone can go to the capital to cause trouble in the future. How can we become an army!"
The pilgrims nodded.
"During the inspection that week, he seemed to be very protective of the five people in Maoyuan Mountain..." one said with a bit of worry.
"So what? For the sake of these five people in Maoyuan Mountain, did he even give up his own future? He wants to talk about this matter, saying that we made a mistake in our investigation and arrangements at that time, which almost led to a big mistake and a huge mistake.
He faced the enemy in panic and suffered heavy losses before he won? What good would it do him to say such a thing?" Jiang Wenyuan sneered, "Why has he fought with me for so long? Get out of the northwest together for us? He
Even if you think about it, you have to ask others if they think about it!"
As long as civil and military officials step into the officialdom, they are like shackles that they can never break away from. Official status and a higher official status have become a pursuit that they will never give up in their lives, not only for their own lives, but also for their children and grandchildren.
Prosperity and wealth for generations to come.
"He is as virtuous as Xie An and can break the Dongshan Oath for the sake of his family. No matter how powerful Zhou Fengxiang is, he can't compare to Xie An." Jiang Wenyuan said with a cold smile.
"My lord! My lord!"
Seeing Zhou Fengxiang coming out, Liu Kui hurriedly stepped forward, and his followers stretched out their hands to stop him.
"Sir, please make the decision for Xu Sigen."
Zhou Fengxiang glanced at him and stepped forward.
"My lord!" Liu Kui suddenly became filled with grief and anger, and rushed forward regardless of the blocks of his followers, "My lord!"
Zhou Fengxiang stopped.
"Xu Sigen should be punished for spreading rumors and spreading rumors to shake the hearts of the military and the people," he said.
"Sir, he didn't spread rumors, those are all facts, that's the truth." Liu Kui shouted.
"Where's the evidence?" Zhou Fengxiang turned to look at him and asked.
Liu Kui opened his mouth but was speechless.
"You prove it?" Zhou Fengxiang continued, "Xu Sigan did not participate in the battle in Linguan Village, and neither did you. How can you say it with certainty? Is it just because Fan Jianglin said it? There are more than 2,000 people in Linguan Village, and there are still a hundred people left.
Fan Jianglin's words alone leave hundreds of people speechless. Liu Kui, how can you make the court believe it? How can you make the people believe it?"
Liu Kui was speechless again.
"Nothing in the world is so easy to explain clearly."
Zhou Fengxiang said, looking at him again and walking away. This time Liu Kui did not chase him, and stood on the roadside like a clay sculpture.
Yes, things in the world are not that easy...
People were coming and going on the street, looking at the dazed man standing on the side of the road, they all pointed and automatically avoided it. (To be continued)
