First, two candidates were accused of being bandits, and then one of them turned out to be the famous Hongbo family general. The people in the audience had long forgotten the "strict silence order" not long ago, and they were talking among themselves. Some people thought that the state officials were stupid.
, but some people thought that the wanted order from the Ministry of Punishment was not wrong... At this time, Song Yang took a half-step: "Princess Qi, I have something to say."
Ren Xiaoping was very happy: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
For some reason, as soon as he got involved with Song Yang, Captain Ren always wanted to say a few more words, so he added after a while: "If you speak well, you will be rewarded, but if you speak poorly, you will be beaten!"
Song Yang turned around with a smile and looked at Qin Zhui: "Brother Qin, how long have you been guarding the border at Kushuiguan?"
Qin Zhui responded: "At the age of eighteen, Qin was drafted into the army and stationed at Kushui Pass until he was transferred to Hongbo Guards, which lasted fifteen years."
Song Yang asked again: "Is there peace in Kushuiguan?"
"Everyone in Nanli knows that it is the first barrier to sealing off the Western Regions. It has never been peaceful for more than a hundred years. Every few days, Tibetan warriors turn into bandits, ranging from dozens to dozens.
Thousands, I can't kill them all if I can't fight them all, I can only wake up my spirit enough to go out and kill the thieves as soon as I see the smoke of the beacon."
Unknowingly, the scene became quiet again, and Song Yang's voice was extremely clear: "Do we have any evidence that our Nanli soldiers killed thieves?"
Qin Zhui replied calmly: "The human head is the proof. The dog thief hurt me, Nanli, innocently, so we cut off the dog's head and came back to do business."
Song Yang nodded and continued: "Then how many people have you killed, do you still remember?"
"Every time a human head is handed over, the camp officials will record it. When I was transferred, I checked that in fifteen years, Qin turned in a total of 316 feudal dog heads. There is a record of this matter, and Kushui Pass
Every brother is Qin’s witness!”
Song Yang was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Qin, thank you Song Yang!" As he said that, he threw himself to worship, but Qin Zhui held him up with a wave of his hand, and his voice was dull and heavy: "No! A man should serve his country and learn from childhood.
Art is for killing thieves, doing your job, doing nothing, and not being thanked."
At this moment, there was a sudden cheer from the audience. I don’t know who it was, and in the next moment, countless cheers suddenly broke out in the silence!
The banditry in the western border of Nanli is well known throughout the country. The Tubo lord is cruel and easy to kill. His soldiers often cross the border to plunder. Massacres of villages are commonplace. All Nanli people regard Tubo as poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts and hate them in their hearts. At this moment, the good warrior Qiang
Qiang speaking, how can I not get applause from all over the sky.
After a while, the scene returned to calm again, but Song Yang hadn't finished speaking yet: "Brother Qin, why is your face burned like this?"
Qin Zhui raised his head with a proud expression, not feeling ugly at all: "In order to save people, thieves robbed and burned the village thirteen years ago. When we arrived, the thieves had retreated, and there was only a sea of fire in front of us. I heard a baby
I rushed in crying. Finally, God blessed me, and I rescued the baby, and it was a boy."
"I am proficient in medical skills and understand that such a serious injury cannot be completely healed in a lifetime. Every time the weather changes, the pain will be severe, and the eyesight will gradually decrease. I may not be aware of it now, but it will take as little as ten years or as many as twenty years.
Blind...Qin Zhui, do you regret it?"
Qin Zhui smiled ferociously: "Regret? Did you know that the doll I rescued has now learned good martial arts, joined the army as a soldier, and guarded Kushuiguan with countless good dolls. Last month, news came that
The little bastard has handed over three heads of dog thieves! Do you think I regret it?!"
Some people in the audience cried, some gritted their teeth, and more people clenched their fists.
But Song Yang didn't think it was enough and continued: "I have a gracious request, can Brother Qin take off your shirt?"
"Why not? This face is not afraid of seeing people, let alone his chest and belly." Qin Zhui stretched out his hand to tear his shirt apart while laughing. From his chest to his back, in addition to burn marks, there were only countless vertical and horizontal scars, including scars on his belly and chest.
There are also two sunken and tangled skins on it, which look like they have healed after being punctured by spears.
Song Yang's voice became louder: "I heard that real warriors only leave scars on their chests, and the scars on their backs are left when they run away."
"The 'real warriors' you mentioned must be numerous."
Song Yang pretended to be puzzled: "Why?"
Qin Zhui laughed: "When you fight eight people one by one, and when you are surrounded and hacked at randomly, let the 'real warriors' you call them try it out and see if there are any scars on their backs?"
The ferocious man laughed, and the people in the audience also laughed together. Most of them had tears in their eyes, but they also laughed... There are many people in Tubo and few soldiers in Nanli. The scars on the back are not a symbol of timidity. On the contrary, they show that Qin Zhui is not brave.
Fearing death, they fought bravely despite being outnumbered! However, the soldiers of Nanli, who were far away on the front line and guarding the border to resist the enemy, always faced many enemies with a small number.
At this time, Ren Xiaoqian's voice came: "Hongbo Wei, take off your shirt."
Dozens of strong men took off their armor and shirts at the same time, and lined up with Qin Zhui. Like Qin Zhui, everyone was covered with horrific scars from swords and guns. Song Yang raised his voice again, stared at them and asked:
"Qin Zhui, what are you trying to do? Hongbo Wei, what are you trying to do?"
No one said anything, but Song Yang took off his clothes, exposed his upper body, and stood side by side with a group of iron guards. Although Song Yang was not thin and tender, he was smooth and eye-catching compared to these fierce soldiers who had been through life and death.
.
Song Yang took a long breath: "You have ugly scars in exchange for my good skin. This is what you want."
After saying a sentence calmly, Song Yang suddenly waved his hand and slammed the clothes in his hand on a high platform. Filled with all his true energy in his voice, he roared: "Then I don't understand why someone wants to frame Qin Zhui."
!”
As soon as the voice fell, the audience roared, but this time it was no longer cheering, but angry curses. Although many people could not imagine who was framed Qin Zhui, no matter who this person was, it had already aroused public outrage.
Gao Changshi had been mostly awake at this time, thinking hard about ways to reverse the situation, but now that the public's anger had become overwhelming, there was no way he could reverse it. The only thing he could do was to try his best to seize some small handles and muster up the courage to confront Song.
Yang scolded: "You are bold enough to trick the people and conspire to conspire against them."
His scoldings were completely drowned out by the sky-high roars. No one paid any attention to him except Song Yang... What really made Master Gao feel chills running down his spine was that Song Yang turned around and actually gave him a bright smile.
His smile was completely non-hostile, amiable, and exuding the cheerfulness of a young man.
The crowd in the audience was excited. If the officers and soldiers of the brigade had not stopped them, they would have already rushed forward. Liu Taishou was sweating profusely. He knocked his head on the ground and defended in a trembling voice: "I was confused for a moment...but the wanted order issued by the Ministry of Punishment is...
So, they made a mistake..."
Ren Xiaoping said "Oh": "One of the leaders of the Hongbo family is actually on the wanted list of the Ministry of Justice? Uncle Du watched me grow up."
'Uncle Du' is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He also led troops to fight in the early years and had a close relationship with the King of Zhenxi. Even if Hongbo Guards really committed a serious crime, the Ministry of Punishment would only treat it as a family matter of the prince and report it to the Hongbo Mansion for handling. How could he handle it directly?
A wanted order was issued. Ren Xiaoping's tone became slightly more serious: "I'm wondering, did the Criminal Department make a mistake, or did someone forge the file?"
At some point, Song Yang had already walked up to Prefect Liu, bowed to the curtain where Ren Xiaoqian was sitting, and said, "Your Highness, the common people still have something to say."
"explain."
"The common people think that the governor is not only blameless, but also cautious, and has no blind trust in his subordinates... On the contrary, the officials who reported the files to the governor should be interrogated carefully." Song Yang threw a stick to Liu Taishou.
Life-saving straw.
The prefect was not a fool. He nodded heavily and followed Song Yang's words: "That's right. When I saw the file, I didn't know that General Qin was the Red Wave Iron Guard, but I vaguely sensed that the wanted order was suspicious, but I couldn't tell.
, so I boldly submitted the dossier and asked Princess Xuanji to examine it clearly. As expected, Her Royal Highness the Princess clearly understood everything..."
At this point, Ren Xiaoqian started to giggle: "There's no need to flatter me, thank you for your hard work, Lord Prefect."
Liu Taishou finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally escaped from this bad thing. He nodded gratefully to Song Yang, then turned back and scolded Gao Changshi angrily: "You bastard, you did it."
What a good thing!”
Gao Changshi also made up a reason. Anyway, he just wanted to shirk responsibility, and immediately fell to his knees: "Princess, please calm down, my lord, I have something to say in my humble position..."
But this time, Ren Xiaozai didn't allow him to speak at all. She had some kung fu skills, and her sneer was filled with real energy, and her voice was not soft: "You almost sent the pillar of the country to the guillotine. The reputation that the Hongbo family has earned with their lives will be with them."
You will destroy it casually; you can write the official documents of the Nanli Criminal Department as you please... I really want to see if you have even written several copies of the imperial edict! If you have any nonsense, wait for a while, General Hongbo
, call me."
The princess gave the order, and the Hongbo Guards immediately took action. This time, Qin Zhui was framed. Everyone in the Hongbo Guards was angry, and their attacks were so heavy. They used all kinds of thunderbolt methods to greet Gao Changshi. After a while, another Hongbo Guards took action.
The young man in silk shirt was escorted to the high platform... He had been targeted by the princess's people for a long time, and there was no chance of escape.
After a while, Gao Changshi couldn't stand it anymore and screamed and confessed.
Then the eunuch accompanying the princess made a loud announcement and told the whole story of the case. He did not mention the experiences of Song Yang and others, but only said that when the Hongbo family general was on duty in plain clothes, he encountered a young man in a silk shirt who caused harm to the village, so he punished him.
However, the other party did not know the identity of Hong Bowei and colluded with Chang Shi to seek revenge. The princess knew the truth and deliberately waited for him to fall into the urn. At the same time, she used this matter to investigate the prefect. Liu Taishou lived up to the country's expectations and did not protect his subordinates, etc.
When the 'truth came out', not only did Hongbo Wei's reputation rise to the next level, but King Zhenxi and Princess Xuanji also became the living blue sky and a blessing to the people. As for Gao Changshi's uncle and nephew, they had no chance to step down and were directly killed by Hongbo.
Bo Wei was killed alive on the stage.
The place has been changed, the time has been changed, the scene has been changed... But today's dealings with the uncle and nephew of the Gao family are essentially the same as dealing with the killers of Yan State in front of the Yin family inn. Song Yang was just threading the needle, integrating resources, and finally taking advantage of the situation.
