After Song Heng came down from the court, he rode to the camp. He was suspended from his post, and he still had to explain some things.
When they arrived at the camp, General Song Heng called all the generals above the rank of captain to his barracks, and naturally Wen Xu, the deputy general, was also there.
When Wen Xu entered the barracks and saw Song Heng's serious expression, he knew that he was impeached today.
"General." A group of people bowed their hands to Song Heng and saluted.
Song Heng glanced at the people standing in front of him and said to them: "I was demoted by the emperor today. I am no longer the general of Zhenguo, but the general of Zhenbei."
"Why?" Lieutenant Zhang Yuan asked in surprise. General, the general who governs the country, has done a good job. Why did the emperor demote the position of general?
Song Heng replied truthfully: "You should all have heard the reason. There is no other reason than that."
He heard someone in the army talking about it yesterday, and his generals must have heard about it too.
Zhang Yuan looked at the others and saw that they all seemed to know everything. He suddenly felt that he was no longer the same person as them.
"The Emperor also suspended me from duty for three months to think about my mistakes. I can't come to the army for these three months. You can just practice according to the regulations as usual. And you must restrain the lieutenants and officers of the army. If anything happens, you can discuss it.
Do it. If you encounter something big that you can't make a decision, you can go to the general's mansion to find me." Song Heng explained.
"Yes." Wenxu and the others accepted the order.
Wen Xu, who lowered his head, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. As expected, Song Heng was not only demoted, but also suspended by the emperor.
He said silently in his heart: Miss, have you read? Song Heng was demoted, and his subordinates avenged you.
Although Song Heng was demoted, this was just the beginning. He wanted to ruin the reputation of the Song family and let the world know how hypocritical they were.
After Song Heng finished explaining, he took Zhang San and rode back to the general's mansion.
By the afternoon, the news that Song Heng was demoted and suspended by the emperor for harboring the murderer's daughter spread throughout the imperial city.
The Yamen also released news that two days later, a public trial of Song Ziyu's murder case would be held.
For a time, people in the entire imperial city were discussing whether Song Ziyu would kill someone to pay for his death, or whether he would be acquitted because of his family background.
There are casinos, and even a gambling game is started, and the bet is whether Song Ziyu will be acquitted. There are many people participating in this gambling game, but most of them are betting that Song Ziyu will not be acquitted. After all, this matter
The commotion has become so big that even General Song was demoted for protecting his daughter. Naturally, the government will try this case impartially and will not dare to show favoritism.
The people who opened the gambling bureau became anxious when they saw that everyone was betting that Song Ziyu would not be acquitted. They all bet that she would not be acquitted, and they still made a lot of money!
Therefore, the person who opened the gambling bureau secretly let people know that according to reliable information, the government, under pressure from the Zhenbei General's Palace, would eventually acquit Song Ziyu. He also said that Shen Wan, the wife of the Zhenbei General's Palace, would eventually be released.
, there is still a chance to make a condition with the emperor. Even if the evidence of Song Ziyu's murder is conclusive, Shen Wan will ask the emperor to absolve Song Ziyu of the crime.
As soon as this false news spread, the imperial city exploded, and the ordinary people and the scholars who hated evil were very angry. If Song Ziyu was acquitted, wouldn't it prove that the law is ineffective against the powerful?
Are they established by ordinary people?
Who can bear this!
Some scholars even wrote an article directly criticizing Song Heng and posted the article on the bulletin board in the city.
Many people who believed Zhou Wang's words began to sympathize with Zhou Yu and felt unfair for him. They said that Zhou Yu was wronged and Song Ziyu was not set up at all. It was she who first seduced the honest Zhou Juren. Said Shen Wan In order to preserve the reputation of his daughter, He and Song Heng wronged the upright and loyal Zhou Juren. Song Ziyu was afraid that the scandalous things he had done would be exposed by Zhou Juren, so he ruthlessly killed Zhou Juren.
For a time, the shameless scoundrel Zhou Yu turned out to be the most innocent person in the eyes of the people, a pitiful person who was persecuted by the powerful. General Song, who was upright, loyal, brave, brave and powerful, and Mrs. Song, who was wise and kind-hearted, became a hypocritical person who bullied others. people.
