Chapter 1150: Many acts of injustice will kill oneself
Shen Tan waved his hand, and two palace guards pushed Wu Chunlai, who had disheveled hair and a panic-stricken face, towards him. Wu Chunlai forced himself to calm down, and when he saw Guo Bing, he actually stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wu Chunlai has met the prince. .”
"Bah!" Guo Bing's face was full of anger, and he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which almost hit Wu Chunlai's face.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Vice Minister Wu, there are some things we need to settle. Now that you have fallen into my hands, you should know your fate. You are a smart man, aren't you?"
Wu Chunlai glared at Lin Jue and said, "You dare to kill me? If you kill me, Prime Minister Lu will immediately lead his army to cover you up. All of you will die and be buried with me. I advise you to be more polite to me."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "Vice Minister Wu, don't deceive yourself. You have been with Lu Zhongtian for so long, don't you know him well? Even I know that he will never care about your life and death, don't you know? Lu Tianci Being a hostage is useful, but you are worthless."
Wu Chunlai was bluffing. How could he not know that what Lin Jue said was true? He also understood that Lu Zhongtian would never risk his own life. He was just at this moment and had to say this to save his life. Of course he knew that he was a thorn in Lin Jue’s side.
"I am the deputy prime minister of the imperial court, how could Prime Minister Lu do this? Lin Jue, if you kill me, you will be hunted down immediately. I advise you to think twice. My lord, please advise Lin Jue, if he kills me, you will Everyone must die, including you and the young prince,” Wu Chunlai said loudly.
Guo Bing cursed: "At this time, you still come to confuse people's minds. It's really abominable. You thief should have died long ago."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Did you hear that? Everyone thinks you deserve to die, so you must die."
Wu Chunlai's face turned pale, and suddenly his face changed, and he knelt down on the ground, crying: "Lin Jue, please forgive me, I have an old mother above me, and a wife and children below me. How will they survive if I die? You and I can be considered somewhat Yuanyuan, please spare my life and let me go back. As long as I return to the court, I will be useful to you in the future. I am willing to be your internal correspondent and do things for you."
Guo Bing and others were shocked after hearing this. They all felt that Wu Chunlai's proposal was extremely beneficial. If Wu Chunlai could act as an internal response, it would be of great use in the future. His identity and status would definitely make him a powerful chess piece. Wu Chunlai Having been in the officialdom, he is well versed in the psychology of these people. He knows what words can speak to the hearts of these people. After his bluff failed, he threw out the trump card to save his life.
"Hahaha." Lin Jue laughed loudly.
"Wu Chunlai, stop fooling us with these words. I won't believe a word of what you say. Even if what you say is true, I won't agree. Let me count your crimes! Defrauding teachers and destroying ancestors , The first crime is greed for power and disregard of the moral ethics of teachers and Taoism. The second crime is framed loyalties and aiding Zhou to commit cruelty. The third crime is participating in the crime of usurping the throne and participating in the crime of regicide and killing the prince. The fourth crime is embezzlement and bribery, enriching one's own pockets. Playing tricks, forming cliques and suppressing dissidents, etc., etc., I can list dozens of crimes against you, each of which is a serious crime of confiscating your home and losing your head. You are actually lucky to be alive today. To tell you the truth, in the capital , you are the third person on my death list, ranking above Yang Jun. It’s not like there is no chance to kill you. That night when you and Guo Xu conspired to control the emperor with poison pills, you probably didn’t know there was someone on the roof. I'm looking at you. In fact, I could have killed you long ago, but I didn't want to alert the snake. That's why I have allowed you to live to this day. Do you know why I asked Lu Zhongtian to trade you for Lu Tianci? I know that you can't be used as a hostage at all. But I still want to trade you. Maybe Lu Zhongtian will think that I am stupid, but I don’t know that I am just going to trade you and take your life. You should have died long ago. How can we let you, a thief, run free after we leave the capital? Isn’t that right? It’s me, Lin Jue, who has no means. Therefore, it’s useless whatever you say. Today, you are dead.”
Lin Jue looked excited and spoke, and everyone was silent. Guo Bing, Shen Tan and others were ashamed of their previous thoughts. How could such a person think of reaching a deal with him? Such a person must die.
Wu Chunlai's face turned pale, and his heart was filled with despair. But he refused to give up the struggle, stretched out his arms to hug Lin Jue's thigh and begged: "Lin Jue, junior brother, I am thinking of you and I came from the same school, please spare me. I am also pregnant." I can't help myself. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. I want to climb up. Is this wrong? I don't intend to hurt anyone, I just want to think about myself. Can't you forgive me just once? ?I know I was wrong. I can make suggestions for you and do things for you. I still have a lot of money. You need money to establish yourself wherever you want, right? I can give it all. In short, please spare me. I will listen to you in everything."
Lin Jue raised his foot and kicked Wu Chunlai in the face. Wu Chunlai raised his head and turned somersault, but he heard Lin Jue curse: "The reason why people are human is that they have bottom lines, principles and rules. For the sake of selfishness, they can ignore it. Lun Chang disregards justice? Then what is the difference between you and an animal? Do you want to live? Why don't you ask the dead Mr. Fang, Mr. Yan, and his wife and sisters if they will let you live? You are the scum of Mr. Fang's school, you admit it Well, Master, today I will clean up the family in the name of the disciples of Fang Sect. Wu Chunlai, you have done many evil things and brought your own destruction. When you go to see Mr. under the spring, I am afraid you will be ashamed and helpless. Suffer death."
Lin Jue didn't need anyone to do it for him. He took out the long knife from his waist, held it in his hand, and strode forward.
Wu Chunlai was lying on the ground screaming in fear, shrinking back like a shrimp. Lin Jue slowly approached. Wu Chunlai begged, while getting up and moving back. Suddenly, something blocked the crook of his calf, and his body fell back unconsciously. He thought he would fall to the ground, but when he fell, he found that there was a hollow space behind him. His eyes suddenly dimmed, and he fell quickly. There was a "thud" sound, the surroundings were cold, and his whole body was soaked. It turned out that he had retreated to the well railing, and the crook of his leg hit the well railing. He fell into the well. He simply did not hit the bluestone on the wall of the well and was not injured when he fell into the well water.
While splashing in the well water, he caught a rope with his hand. It was the rope hanging from the windlass above the well railing, and there was a small wooden bucket attached to the bottom. This was considered a life-saving straw, and he pulled the rope to his chin. Pull. The windlass above the manhole railing whirred rapidly, and the rope huffed and fell. Finally, the windlass stopped and the rope came to the end. Wu Chunlai was finally able to use his strength and pull the rope to float on the water.
Lin Jue and others witnessed all this happening, and when they understood what had happened, they just sighed: "It's a pity that the water in this well has been polluted."
After the rope was tightened, Lin Jue stepped forward slowly, glanced at the dark bottom of the well, raised his knife and dropped the rope, and the rope broke. Amidst Wu Chunlai's desperate cry, the rope fell, breaking Wu Chunlai's final life. of vitality.
The water in the well was freezing. Wu Chunlai was clinging to the wall of the well at first, but soon his body became cold and his hands and feet became stiff. After loosening his fingers, he struggled. However, his hands and feet were entangled by a large number of falling ropes. The more he struggled, the more he struggled. , the more he tied himself up in a cocoon. Finally, he tied himself up like a rice dumpling. The rope was soaked with water and sank heavily. Wu Chunlai tried his best to keep himself afloat. Finally, he ran out of strength. The rope sank to the bottom of the well. Only a few big bubbles emerged, and then there was no sound.
Beside the well railing, Lin Jue bowed his hands to the east and prayed silently: "Sir, the traitor Wu Chunlai has been eliminated, and another person who harmed you has died. Maybe you don't want students to do this, but students have to behave like students."
According to the law, students must send those who harmed you to the underworld one by one and confess their sins in front of you."
…
Ten miles away, a large number of Forbidden Army soldiers and horses were busy making preparations. Just as Lin Jue expected, Lu Zhongtian was not restrained in the slightest because Wu Chunlai was in Lin Jue's hands. When he replaced Lu Tianci,
He had already given the order to prepare for the attack.
There were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army leaving the capital, 30,000 infantry, and 20,000 cavalry of the Imperial Guards. These soldiers and horses were more than enough to deal with Lin Jue and others. After Lu Tianci was released, Lu Zhongtian no longer had any scruples.
.
Lu Zhongtian was excited to wipe out Lin Jue and others tonight, but the leading generals came together to pour a basin of cold water on him.
The opinion of the generals is that it is getting late, and the terrain west of Gyeonggi is not conducive to night pursuit by cavalry. It is midsummer now, and the farmland is flooded, so the horse army cannot run at will. Although the infantry can march on the Qianmo trail,
It is also difficult to walk at night. You must know that the paths between the field ridges are overgrown with grass and narrow as a belt. Walking on them is soft and difficult, making it difficult to pass quickly. If a large army of soldiers and horses wants to quickly pursue the enemy, they can only concentrate on the official road.
.However, it is a taboo for horses and infantry to march together at night. If a blind man rides a blind horse, it may lead to trampling.
Lu Zhongtian was very angry after hearing these words and cursed loudly. The generals were also helpless. The prime minister was not familiar with military affairs. He may have thought that fighting was just moving his fingers on the sand table map and pulling out and inserting small flags.
It is so simple to insert. The actual combat situation is extremely complicated. It includes not only the combat itself, but also logistics support, topography, marching speed, combat weather and other details. A person who has never led troops to fight, just called
If he leads a single army and horse to march, it will be enough to make him miserable.
"Where are the torches? Can't they illuminate the march?" Lu Zhongtian thought for a long time and came up with a way.
"Mr. Lu, of course, torches can illuminate the road at night, but the number is limited. We don't carry many military pine torches for night warfare lighting when we leave the capital. It's impossible to make a simple torch. Even if the torch just falls off when it burns,
If a burning branch comes down and burns the horses, it will trigger night terrors and chaos for all the horses. Animals are timid at night and are easily frightened at the slightest disturbance, which is even more dangerous. Secondly, even if there are enough military torches,
The range of illumination is also extremely limited, so you can only move slowly and cannot speed up. Therefore, instead of tormenting the soldiers now, it is better to wait for dawn before taking action. Marching at dawn will be faster, and the soldiers will not have to go through a night
of hardship.”
Lu Zhongtian didn't know much about military affairs. He thought he could easily kill Lin Jue and others tonight, and tomorrow he could take the heads of Lin Jue, Guo Bing and others back to Beijing to show off to the people and civil and military officials, but now
