Chapter 66: Choosing a time to behead
Xie Xuan is one of the ten thousand households of the Shadow Secret Guards. His military strength is not inferior to that of Ren Changfeng, and he is good at using short spears.
"Sir...Sir, it's not good, something happened to Xie Baihu." A commander-in-chief rushed to him in panic and said.
"What's the matter?" Xie Xuan was stunned and thought, didn't my nephew go to ransack the house? What could happen?
"Reporting to your lord, during the process of ransacking the house, Xie Baihu had a conflict with General Shen Qi and was injured by the other party."
"What? How is the injury? Is it life-threatening?" Xie Xuan's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"The injury was very serious, and there is only one breath left." The subordinate said in a low voice.
"Bastard! Where is Feng'er? Take me there quickly!"
At this time, Xie Feng had been brought back to the Shadow Secret Guard Yamen by his subordinates and was lying in front of his hall. Several doctors were busy around him, but it was of little use.
Seeing Xie Xuan enter the room, the leading doctor stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Sir Qianhu, Xie Baihu's meridians have been cut off, his body was seriously injured by the sword, and his chest was cut open. Now he only has one breath left. We have tried our best. , but if you want to save your life, you need a Yuan Hui Dan."
Xie Xuan looked at his nephew lying on the bed, covered in blood, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Shen Lian?"
"Being escorted back to the Yamen."
Outside the Yingmi Guard Yamen, after Xie Xuan saw Shen Lian, without saying a word, a pair of short spears danced and killed him.
Boom!
A black knife stabbed out diagonally, holding the murderous short spear.
The person who came was none other than Ren Changfeng, who was at the Tianquan realm with Xie Xuanju, so they were equally matched.
"What does Ren Qianhu mean?" Xie Xuan said coldly.
"What do you mean by Xie Qianhu?" Ren Changfeng asked.
"The following offender, who intends to kill his superior, shall be executed." Xie Xuan stared at Shen Lian angrily, and when he spoke, his breath was full of murderous intent.
"Even if my subordinates are to be executed, I will be the one to do it, so I won't thank Qianhu Dajia for the trouble. Besides, there are reasons for everything, so Shen Lian cannot be blamed entirely." Ren Changfeng said tit for tat, using his arms to deflect Xie Xuan's short spear.
Your nephew defiled a young girl in public and deserved his death. How dare you come to investigate?
Shame on you!
Ren Changfeng thought so in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
Seeing Ren Changfeng rushing to the scene, Xie Xuan knew that it was impossible to kill Shen Lian, "Huh, let the commander make the decision. No one can save him if he commits the following crime."
After saying that, Xie Xuan rolled his sleeves and left.
Ren Changfeng's face also darkened.
In the general office, Tie Qingqing looked at the people who came to file a lawsuit with cold eyes, without any expression on his face.
"Who can tell me what happened?"
"Your Majesty, Commander, my nephew was ordered to lead a team to the Ministry of Rites to search Zhan Cheng's house during the incident, but he didn't want Shen Lian to disobey the rules. He committed the crime and beat my nephew seriously. He was only alive. Please take charge, Commander." Justice." Xie Xuan took a step forward, clasped his fists in his hands, and said sternly.
"Brother, I have a different story here. The matter is not what Xie Qianhu said. According to reports from my subordinates, Xie Feng intended to taint Zhan Cheng's fourteen-year-old daughter. Shen Lian stepped forward to stop him, and then the two of them had an affair. Conflict." Ren Changfeng also took a step forward and stood side by side with Xie Xuan.
"That's nonsense!" Xie Xuan snorted coldly, "Zhan Cheng only sentenced him to confiscation of his house, but not even to the prison. How could my nephew do such a thing?"
Several general bannermen who witnessed the scene with their own eyes lowered their heads and remained silent. They glanced at Ren Changfeng and Xie Xuan from the corners of their eyes, wondering whether they should come forward to explain the truth.
Tie Qingqing saw their reactions and glanced at everyone one by one with sharp eyes, "Who is at the scene? Tell the truth about what happened. If you dare to hide it, you will be sent to the frontier."
Ren Changfeng turned to look at Jin Yuze and said, "Yuze, tell me."
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders." Jin Yuze took a step forward, stood slightly behind Ren Changfeng, and told what happened in detail.
"Master Commander, the three of us received an order from Jiang Baihu this morning to participate in the search of Zhan Cheng's Mansion. When the team gathered, Shen Lian was not late, but Xie Baihu used the excuse of being late, made things difficult in every possible way, and used ventilation Shen Lian was punished with a cane for reporting the news and contradicting his superiors. Later, when we arrived at Zhan Cheng's residence, Xie Baihu ordered the three of us to guard the door and not participate in the house search. During this period, we heard a girl shouting for help, and the Zhan family's mother drove towards the house. Shen Lian kowtowed for help, claiming that it was her fourteen-year-old granddaughter. Since Zhan Cheng only ransacked the house and did not sit together, Shen Lian went to check the situation and saw Xie Baihu trying to taint the girl. Shen Lian stopped him, but Xie Baihu not only Instead of restraining himself, he forcibly took the little girl to the yard and committed misdeeds in public; Shen Lian stopped her again, and Xie Baihu drew his sword and slashed at Shen Lian, but Shen Lian had no choice but to fight back, thus accidentally injuring Xie Baihu."
Jin Yuze explained the matter clearly in one breath.
After hearing this, Xie Xuan was so angry that his whole body trembled. He stared at Jin Yuze with a pair of eyes that were almost spitting fire, and said angrily: "How dare you fabricate facts and wrongly accuse my nephew!"
"Sir, everything I said is true. You can verify it with other people present." Jin Yuze looked at Tie Qingqing and said.
Damn it, now Xie Qianhu has been offended, Jin Yuze said in his heart.
Tie Qingqing nodded, looked at the other people standing in front of the hall, and asked: "Is what Jin Yuze said true or false?"
The general bannermen looked at me and I looked at you, pushing each other, asking others to step forward and themselves to retreat.
Who dares to step forward if he is not related to Shen Lian? Xie Xuan is a Qianhu, and Ren Changfeng is also a Qianhu. No matter who they offend, a pair of small shoes can be enough for them to drink from a pot.
"Tell the truth and I'll keep you safe." The thoughts of these subordinates were as clear as a mirror to Tie Qingwu.
At this time, a commander-in-chief who had frequent contact with Shen Lian sighed secretly, took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, everything Mr. Jin said is true, and I can bear witness to this because of my humble position."
What?!
Xie Xuan was stunned and turned to look at the person who had reported the situation to him before, as if to say, why didn't you tell me in advance?
This man felt guilty and thought to himself: It's useless for you to look at me. Do I dare to say this to you?
"Commander, even if my nephew made a mistake first, this is not the reason for Shen Lian to kill him," Xie Xuan said.
Tie Qingqing nodded and did not express his position immediately.
He returned to his chair and sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying quietly: "Xie Xuan, you go to the warehouse to get a Yuan Hui Dan for Xie Feng."
"Thank you, sir." Xie Xuan was overjoyed.
"After the injury is cured, I will give you a five-hundred-pound rod, and I will expel the Shadow Guard and never hire him again." Tie Qingqing continued.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xuan's face immediately turned pale. The Huiyuan Pill could indeed save Xie Feng's life, but with a five hundred rod penalty, wouldn't he be beaten back again? And he would also have to expel the Shadow Secret Guards?
He was about to intercede with his nephew, but he didn't want to be stopped by Tie Qingwu.
"Shen Lian and the following offenders have caused Xie Feng's life to hang by a thread. He will be imprisoned for the time being and will be executed at a later date." Tie Qingqing pronounced the verdict.
After he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the general office.
Even Xie Xuan could not find any reason to continue to plead with his nephew.
Shen Lian has been sentenced to death, what else do you want?
