I’m The King Chapter 1088: :East and west (eighty-one)

The ashen-faced Zhao Yong was brought in by two Kong Wu's powerful soldiers, he threw them on the ground, and fell to the ground with a bang. Covered with sludge, it wriggled on the ground like a maggot.

He Lanxiong looked at Zhao Yong with disgust, thinking in his heart that he was a hero, but this Zhao Yong was really ashamed to be Zilan's son. Ji, was forcibly called into Handan as a hostage, and finally died in a conspiracy without knowing why. The one left behind can't support Zilan's lintel.

There was silence in the hall, although everyone hated Zhao Yong to death, but the identity of this person in front of him was extraordinary, even though there was a lot of anger in his heart, he didn't know how to express it.

&nb岛>Novel www.zuzud; The deathly silence made Zhao Yong even more panicked. He raised his head, and what he saw was He Xingxiong's face. He Lanxiong had been stationed in Dai County for a long time, and he had been with He Lanxiong many times Discussing the affairs of the Dai County, usually having banquets, drinking and exchanging glasses, all he saw was a smiling face, but today, the other party's ashen face, slightly twitching muscles, and angry eyes made him understand that, The person in front of me is no longer the person who respected me in the past.

"Mr. Zhao, it's really a pleasure to meet you!" He Lanxiong finally spoke, the murderous aura mixed in his voice, even if he tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't completely hide it.

"Commander Helan!" Zhao Yong raised his head, "I was forced, I was forced!"

He Lanxiong laughed: "What a coerced one! Let me ask, even though the Qin army came unexpectedly from Shanggu, there were still 30,000 generals in Xiling City at that time, with sufficient military equipment and abundant food. Who is it?" To force Governor Zhao to surrender Kaesong?"

Zhao Yong gurgled a few times in his throat, but no sound came out.

"The Qin army occupied Dai County, who gave the list of thousands of officials sent to Dai County by our Han Kingdom to the Qin people, and let them be murdered? More than a thousand people, only a dozen survived in the end This, Governor Zhao, dreamed back late at night, has there ever been a time when you are dripping with cold sweat, has there ever been a time when a wronged soul took his life?"

The stern He Lanxiong asked one sentence after another, making Zhao Yong sweat profusely. Looking around the hall, the angry faces made him feel great fear.

"What a tiger father and dog son, this time, no one can save you."

Hearing He Lanxiong's words, Zhao Yong burst into tears.

"I don't want to die, please forgive me, Commander, please forgive me, no, no, no, I want to see the King of Han, I want to meet the King of Han, I have something important to report!" Zhao Yong shouted loudly.

He Lanxiong glanced at Zhao Yong contemptuously, "Don't worry, Governor Zhao, I won't kill you here, even if you are nothing, you are still the son of Mr. Zilan, don't you want to see the king? No problem , this commander will send you back to Jicheng to meet the king, but as far as I know, even if you meet the king, you will not be able to escape the fate of being executed in the execution ground, hehehe!"

Hearing that he won't be cut in two here, Zhao Yong's eyes showed hope again, and he kowtowed to He Lanxiong, "Thank you, Commander, for not killing me."

He Lanxiong glanced at the slug-like Zhao Yong in disgust, and waved his hand, "Come here, take him down, wait a few days and **** him back to Jicheng with the people who return to Jicheng, and hand it over to the king for handling." .”

Ten days later, a prison cart drove out of the county guard's mansion. Inside the thick and thin railings in the bowl, Zhao Yong was wearing heavy shackles and sitting cross-legged in the prison cart. A moment later, several war horses came from another direction , the leader was Qin Lei, who was standing firm in Crane City.

"Young Master!" Seeing Zhao Tong in the prison car, Qin Lei got off his horse and walked to the front of the prison car. Amidst the screams, he knelt down on one knee, holding the railing of the prison car with both hands, weeping.

"General Qin, help, help!" Seeing Qin Lei, Zhao Yong seemed to see a savior, and rushed to Qin Lei's side, holding Qin Lei's hands tightly with both hands, and there was a clatter of shackles .

"If I knew today, why bother!" Qin Lei's wrinkled face was full of tears, "I'm sorry for Mr. Zilan!"

"General save me, general save me!" Zhao Yong shouted repeatedly.

Qin Lei stood up, turned around and walked to He Lanxiong's side, and knelt down with a bang.

He Lanxiong hurriedly took a step forward, trying to support Qin Lei with both hands, "Old General, you are my hero, how can He Lanyou treat you as a great gift?"

Qin Lei sank into his dantian, and with He Lanxiong's support, although his body swayed slightly, he still knelt firmly on the ground, "Commander, the last general also knows that the young master has made a big mistake this time. It is well deserved to be taken to Jicheng for interrogation, Qin Lei dare not beg for forgiveness, but please ask the commander to show some dignity to Mr. Zilan, remove the shackles of the young master, release him from the cage, and Qin Lei will accompany him to Jicheng During the trial, along the way, everything will be guaranteed by Qin Lei."

He Lanxiong showed a look of embarrassment, "General Qin, you also know that my big man has strict laws and regulations, and a serious offender like Zhao Yong must be closely guarded."

"Commander, please take care of the deceased Mr. Zilan!" Qin Lei begged again.

He Lanxiong blinked his eyes, he didn't really care about Zi Lan's face, but Qin Lei still had to give this face.

"Well, General Qin, he must be caged. This is not only a punishment, but also a warning. I warn those who are half-hearted. No matter what their identity is, the betrayer will be punished. I can do it. , That is to remove the shackles for him, this is also for the face of General Qin Lei, General Qin, please stop talking, this is already my bottom line, you also know that the lives of thousands of Han officials in Dai County will be buried in the In the hands of this person.”

Qin Lei was speechless, stood up and stepped aside.

He Lanxiong waved his hand, an official from the Overwatch Council had already gone up to open the cage, and removed the shackles for Zhao Yong. As the cage door slammed shut, He Lanxiong said to Qin Lei: "General Qin, have a good trip, this time the King of Han treats you very well." If you appreciate it greatly, you will surely be promoted. He Lan can't offer a glass of wine to General Qin in Jicheng, so he congratulates him here in advance."

"Thank you for your words, Commander. Qin Lei doesn't want any rewards, but I hope he can exchange for the life of the Young Master with a little contribution!" Qin Lei said bitterly.

He Lanxiong smiled noncommittally, "After arriving at Jicheng, everything will be decided by the king. General Qin, I am busy with military affairs, so I will send you off soon."

"I'll send off General Qin Lei!" Beside He Lanxiong, Lu Ting, who was still as thin as a stick, came out. Like Sima who was carried up to the court to handle official business, when Lu Ting saw his appearance in Xiling City, Dang even decided not to go to Jicheng for the time being but to stay and assist Ou Zhe in handling the official affairs of Dai Commandery. Lu Ting had been in Dai Commandery for many years He Lanxiong agreed to his request to stay, and sent an official document to Gao Yuan just for him.

"You go!" He Lanxiong nodded: "There are some things, you should give General Qin a little letter first, so as not to disappoint him then."

"Subordinates save it!" Lu Ting nodded.

A line of chariots and horses walked slowly on the street, and on both sides were countless people from Xiling City. They silently looked at Zhao Yong in the prison building, and felt mixed emotions in their hearts. More and more people gathered on the street. , but did not make a sound, everyone looked at Zhao Yong's expression, pity, anger, contempt, and all kinds of life, all showed in it.

Sorrowful for his misfortune, angry for his indisputability, and even more resentful that he lost the face of Mr. Zilan, making Mr. Zilan have no peace under Jiuquan.

"General Qin, how are you going to save Zhao Yong's life when you go back this time?" Lu Ting, who was walking side by side with Qin Lei, asked in a low voice.

"I just hope that the king can see Qin Lei's little contribution, and he can spare the young master's life." Qin Lei sighed: "A few years ago, Zhao Yong was in charge of the Gongjun. It’s a bit of credit.”

Lu Ting shook his head slightly: "General Qin, you still don't understand my big man's bureaucratic system. Just last year, General Wang separated the power of officials to decide cases from the local yamen, and set up a special yamen called the court. The court Top-down, self-contained system, hearing cases, not controlled by other yamen, there is a supreme court in the center, and there are judges, who are appointed by the king and approved by the great council. The judges are life-long and have great power. Set up intermediate courts and primary courts in counties. This decree has been officially implemented in Tianhe County, Langya County, Hejian County and other places, and other places have been delayed due to the sudden outbreak of war. This time Zhao Yong was escorted back to Jicheng for trial. I'm afraid it will be handed over to this court for trial."

"Whether it's the yamen's trial, the king always decides the final decision?" Qin Lei asked.

"This is not necessarily true. You know the Great Council. It has been three years since the Great Council was established. In the past three years, they have rejected many opinions from the Political Affairs Hall. The king wanted to maintain the authority of the Great Council, not only did he not get angry, but he appreciated it very much. This time, the Great Court was newly established. In order to maintain the authority of the Great Court, the King may not reject the final judgment of the Great Court. Knowing the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, Zhao Yong may be punished by death this time."

Qin Lei's expression changed drastically.

"People like Zhao Yong will definitely be handed over to the Supreme Court for trial, and the first supreme justice, Jing Shou, came from the Military Law Department of the Supervisory Yuan. He is a first-class ruthless person."

"This, doesn't this mean that there is no way to save Young Master?" Qin Lei asked in shock.

Looking at Qin Lei, Lu Ting said in a low voice: "General Qin, don't make up your mind and let this guy go halfway. It's not that I look down on this guy. Even if you want to let him go, he won't be able to escape. Besides, Commander He Lan hated Zhao Yong this time. In addition to the Overwatch Council, he sent out more military experts. Let alone you, even ten of you will never be able to catch Zhao Yong from under their noses. Let go Luo.”

"Should I just watch the young master go to Jicheng to die?"

"No, there is another way, that is the king." Lu Ting shook his head and said.

"Didn't you just say that the king will never interfere with the trial of the Grand Court?"

"Your Majesty will not interfere with the outcome of the trial, but you have a special privilege, which is amnesty. However, according to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, your Majesty's right to amnesty can only be granted once every three years. Will your Majesty use it on Zhao Yong? , that depends on you." Lu Ting lowered his voice, "You can't say that I told you, let Commander Helan know, I can't afford to walk around."

"Thank you, Brother Lu." Qin Lei sincerely clasped his fists at Lu Ting and said, "If you can really save the young master's life, I will thank you very much later."

"Thank you so much. We lived and died together in Crane City. We have long been like a family. To be honest, I also wish that Zhao Yong would die. It was just for the sake of General Qin. Lu couldn't bear to let him die." You will be sad and sad in the future, this Zhao Yong will die, even if he is alive, he will be like a living dead in the future, just a walking corpse."
