In the former Sikou Mansion of the Wei Kingdom, Yang Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, set up the Chinese army's tent here after entering the city.
Under his command, there were dozens of literate people selected from Diqiu City, who worked day and night to compile various prison books from the thirty years of Weiguo.
In Weiguo, if he wants to support a force that is truly loyal to him, he will naturally have to provide enough benefits, and these benefits do not come out of thin air, and will eventually fall on the dignitaries of Diqiu City.
But even if you are killing people, you must do it with a reputation and a legal basis. Otherwise, it will only cause endless troubles. Killing is not as simple as just using weapons.
When the orders from the Central Army of the Qin Army appeared behind the closed gates of Diqiu City, the people who had once been the most influential people in this city walked out of their homes with various moods and headed towards Sikou Mansion.
What will be waiting for them?
After Ji Yuan came to power, the Sikou Mansion, which had been dormant for many years, once again resumed its former functions.
When the dignitaries of Diqiu City came to the main hall of Sikou Mansion one by one, they found that they still had seats, which made them let go. Since the Qin Army General could prepare seats for them, it should not be difficult.
The person who speaks.
While everyone was waiting, they found that the seats on the left and right sides were empty, but as time passed, Gongsun Yu's figure appeared in their sight, and then their former monarch Ji Yuan, but at this time,
Ji Yuan no longer has the majesty he once had, and is only filled with fear and uneasiness.
The situation seemed not to be right. As Kong Qi's figure appeared in the hall, everyone had a vague premonition of ominousness. When Yang Ming walked into the hall, the atmosphere in the entire hall condensed, and everyone could not even breathe.
Hold your breath, the person in front of you is the person who can decide their life or death.
But just now, Yang Ming was sitting on the main seat, looking at the people in the hall indifferently. Every time he opened his mouth, someone would be taken to the door of death. The kind of decisive killing that regarded human life as nothing, even Gongsun.
Yu also felt chilled.
"Ji Yuan, when the late emperor was invited by you and was bewitched by the people around him, he went to Daliang and was later imprisoned and died. Is this true?" Kong Qi asked Ji Yuan.
.
"I know you are not afraid of death." Yang Ming said.
"Senior Gongsun, would you like to come with me to meet someone?" Yang Ming put away the bamboo slips, stood up and said to Gongsun Yu.
It turned out to be for the purpose of killing people. For a moment, everyone began to feel uneasy. This kind of feeling of killing people for the sake of fish and meat was not good, especially because no one knew when the butcher's knife would fall on them. That would be the real fall.
on oneself.
"I..." With a pop, the person whose name was called had fallen to the ground and fainted, but he was still dragged away. Fainting was too fake. Only by really dying can we get the real thing.
Practical.
After sending everyone back, Yang Ming left only one person behind: Gongsun Yu.
"Next." Kong Qi said.
His direct disciple Jing Ke was a man of unparalleled talent. He believed that even compared with contemporary Guigu successors, although Jing Ke was not good at strategy, in terms of swordsmanship, Jing Ke was not inferior to any of his peers, but
In front of Yang Ming, he was too far behind.
"yes."
"Jun..., Ji Yuan, you are so slanderous." Ji Qiu said repeatedly after being named by Ji Yuan.
"Yes." Ji Yuan was hopeless at this time. He already knew what happened today. Everything was just to avoid death.
"Back then, did the people in the country who seduced the late emperor to go to Weiguo collude with you, Ji Yuan?" Kong Qi asked again.
While Yang Ming was flipping through the bamboo slips, Gongsun Yu looked at Yang Ming. For a moment, it was difficult for him to connect the Yang Ming in front of him with the Yang Ming before him.
"Alas." With a long sigh, the old man Wei Zhao, whose name was called, stood up on his own, flicked his long sleeves, and took the initiative to walk out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
At that moment, he was actually grateful to Yang Ming, the enemy who had conquered the Wei Kingdom, killed its citizens, seriously injured him, and threatened him with his relatives and friends.
"Is it possible that General Yang is going to send me off personally?" Under Yang Ming's gaze, Wei Zhao still had trouble calming down. At the same time, he also had doubts in his heart, wondering why Yang Ming came here.
"I'm afraid no one in this Diqiu City can go against General Yang's will, right?" Although Gongsun Yu knew what his attitude should be now, he still couldn't control his ridicule when he said it.
"I'm asking you to identify me. I'm not asking you to talk nonsense. Let's stop here." In the hall where you could almost hear the needle drop, Yang Ming spoke.
As Ji Yuan's eyes turned, everyone in the hall subconsciously held their breath. They had already realized that this was really going to kill some of them, but who would it be? Who?
Is it the unlucky person, or in other words, who is the lucky person who can save his life?
After turning around the corridors of Sikou Mansion, Gongsun Yu discovered that Yang Ming's destination was actually the death row of Sikou Mansion.
"Since Senior Gongsun has such an understanding, it would be better, as it saves me the excuse." Yang Ming smiled faintly and walked out of the hall.
"General Zuo, don't worry."
"General Zuo, I was wronged..." Ji Qiu wanted to defend, but was already gagged and dragged away by the soldiers who walked in.
"And Wei Zhao." Ji Yuan looked at an old man sitting next to Gongsun Yu in the hall. Anyway, Yang Ming's real purpose was just to kill people. He was powerless to change it and couldn't change his own destiny. He might as well do it before he died.
Take people with whom you usually have a very good relationship and those with whom you have a very bad relationship and go on the road together.
Yang Ming looked around at the few people left in the hall and said in a clear voice: "The case of the late King Wei will be tried by you in accordance with the rules of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition to the case of the late King Wei, there are also questions
Did those people do anything illegal? There are quite a lot of cases in the Si Kou Mansion."
Yang Ming's eyes flashed across Gongsun Yu's face. Sure enough, this swordsman master who dared to fight without changing his expression before tens of thousands of Qin troops had now changed his expression.
But just now, Yang Ming, who had reduced the fate of countless people to dust, was still leisurely reading the bamboo slips.
The voice of loyalty is heard all the time.
"Right." Although Ji Yuan did not dare to resist, his will to cooperate was also very limited.
"Yes." Ji Yuan said lifelessly. He already knew the outcome. It was just a formality.
With the sound of the cell door being opened, Gongsun Yu saw an old man sleeping peacefully in the thatch. This man was no stranger to him, it was Wei Zhao.
Even if Yang Ming was able to defeat him, he won because of strategy and traded his minor injuries for Gongsun Yu's serious injuries. But a defeat is a defeat. There are not so many reasons, especially when Yang Ming can pay the price of minor injuries.
Injuring him severely has proven Yang Ming's strength.
What is he going to do? Gongsun Yu is a little confused, and he can't find a suitable reason for Yang Ming's inexplicable behavior.
As Ji Yuan called out names one by one, one after another people were dragged out by the soldiers while crying and wailing.
"Who else?" Kong Qi asked.
People with good relationships, if they die, they will live well, there are so many bad things, and people with bad relationships will naturally be buried with them. In Ji Yuan's heart, he just wants to be so simple and unpretentious.
"Ji Qiu." Ji Yuan's eyes stopped on the face of a middle-aged fat man.
"Gongsun Yu." Ji Yuan's eyes actually fell on Gongsun Yu.
Gongsun Yu followed Yang Ming in confusion. He didn't know why Yang Ming came here. He just filled the death row with his own hands.
Then there was a loud thud, and he rolled down from his seat and fell to his knees in the middle of the hall. But before he could speak, Yang Ming, the owner who had been silent since entering the hall, said the first sentence: "Take it."
Go down."
"Ji Yuan, there can't be only one person working with you," Kong Qi said.
Kong Qi, under the gaze of everyone, the Avenger took out a scroll of bamboo slips and read aloud. As the notes appeared in everyone's ears, everyone finally understood Yang Ming's true purpose.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Gongsun Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief. For a moment, he unexpectedly felt a sense of gratitude.
Yang Ming looked at Wei Zhao's leaving figure, waved away the soldiers trying to drag him away, and allowed him to walk out of the hall on his own.
No death row in the world is a good place. Dirty and despair are the only characteristics of this place, and the same is true for the death row in front of you.
"Yes, there is more than one, and there is Fan Yang." Ji Yuan reported a person's name again.
"Who is there?" Ji Yuan pondered and looked at everyone in the hall.
"Who are these people?" Kong Qi asked.
"promise."
On the battlefield, Yang Ming was brave and fearless. He used his own body to take advantage of the power of thousands of troops to confront him head-on. He, who had only been defeated once more than thirty years ago, once again experienced the feeling of defeat.
.
After all, people still have things to be afraid of, and they cannot be without weaknesses. Yang Ming thought to himself.
Hearing the noise, Wei Zhao opened his eyes, glanced at Yang Ming, and then closed his eyes. Yang Ming did not hesitate and sat down directly on death row.
"Did you collude with the King of Wei to set up this poisonous plan?" Kong Qi asked.
At that moment, all the hairs on Gongsun Yu's body stood up. He was not afraid of death, but what happened in front of him was no longer as simple as death. Once he was found guilty of colluding with outsiders and plotting against the king of his country,
The crime is really going to be infamy for thousands of years.
"Thank you very much." Wei Zhao sat up and said.
"However, death is an easy thing, but living is a more difficult thing."
Yang Ming sighed as he spoke: "A head can be easily chopped off by waving the weapon in your hand, but what happens after that? A living life is gone."
"I didn't expect that a military man like General Yang, a legalist, would have such a compassionate side." Wei Zhao said, with a sarcastic look on his face.
