The Favoured Medical Princess: 697 Questioning

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

A group of people came in with great force and escorted them away in a furious manner. Wherever they passed, they naturally attracted the curious eyes of many drinkers and passers-by...

Meng Yiliang and Helagu, father and son in regular uniforms, stood out among a group of soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army in armor. Meng Yiliang only felt that the probing eyes around him were like needles piercing his body, secretly He thought to himself: He will never forget this shame and humiliation!

After burning the incense, Meng Yiliang was brought to the Sun Yao Palace by Li Deguang, while Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were still sitting by the window talking.

Along the way, Meng Yiliang has calmed down his chaotic mood, and also thought about the reasons why Xiao Yi summoned him and took down Helagu and his son, but he still felt a little unsure. It was not until he saw Guan Yubai at this moment that he He had a rough idea in his mind: An Yihou must have said something in front of the Crown Prince, trying to frame him.

Thinking about it, Meng Yiliang felt a lot more at ease.

"The last general has met the prince and the marquis." Meng Yiliang respectfully performed a military salute to Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai and said, "I wonder what the prince has to do to recruit the last general?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Meng Yiliang indifferently, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He called him by his first name unceremoniously: "Meng Yiliang, I don't have time to talk to you in circles. I only want to ask you a question. The one sent by Dele Race Course Who touched the three thousand horses, you or the Gu Na family? Or was it someone else?"

Sure enough!

Meng Yi sneered in her conscience. The An Yi Hou knew that he could not escape his involvement, so he tried to sow discord with the prince, trying to "put the blame" for the sick horse on himself.

Meng Yiliang made a shocked expression and raised his voice: "Master Shizi, do you mean that someone secretly tampered with those sick horses?!"

As he spoke, he changed his tone and complimented movedly: "My lord, since you are questioning the general in person, it means that you have a strong mind and a clear mind. You are by no means one of those people who only listen to and believe in others. I understand that this matter has nothing to do with the general... I also ask the prince to hand this matter over to the general, and the general will definitely get to the bottom of it to repay the prince's trust." He clasped his fists in gratitude and begged for help.

Before he finished speaking, he heard bursts of high-pitched eagle cries coming from outside the house. The two eagles sounded one after another, as if they were making fun of Meng Yiliang in a chorus.

At this time, Xiaosi, who had taken a shower and changed clothes, was leaning on a thick branch, looking at the two eagles flying in mid-air, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, almost invisible. My own Hanyu is smart!

Xiao Yi's casual eyes showed a hint of impatience, "It seems that General Meng doesn't recognize him?" He raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted, "It doesn't matter whether he recognizes him or not... Come on! Mr. Meng." Generals who collude with the enemy and judge the country should be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Deguang came in with two tall and strong soldiers. The two soldiers clamped Meng Yiliang on the left and the right, and their movements were rough. Compared with the previous ones at the Yueman Restaurant, The treatment can be said to be one day at a time.

No matter how experienced Meng Yiliang is, at this moment, he can't help but panic.

I had known that the prince’s temperament was somewhat surly and casual, but I didn’t expect that he would be so unreasonable. Only then did I say a few words and want to convict him without any basis? !

"Your Majesty, the general refuses to accept it!" He roared fiercely, his whole body almost hysterical with excitement, "The general has never made any mistakes, but you are so careless about human life, aren't you afraid of losing military morale?!"

Xiao Yi looked at Meng Yiliang, his eyes turning cold.

He hates this kind of fool the most. He is capable of doing evil, but why can't he admit it? !

Indeed, there can be many heroes in this world, most of them are just bears!

"It's only three things. I'll say it again. My time is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Xiao Yi said unhurriedly, "You colluded with Gu Na's family and secretly drugged three thousand military horses. This prince has already found out everything about the matter. Drugging the horses in the army is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy..."

Collaborating with the enemy? ! That is the crime of being executed by the whole family. Meng Yiliang's pupils shrank sharply. Naturally, he would not admit the crime and denied it flatly: "I will not accept it... I will be loyal to the Crown Prince, the prince, and the Southern Xinjiang Army. I will be loyal to you with all my heart, and the sun will tell me. Crown Prince, you But you can't act so arbitrarily just to protect An Yihou. Do you want to chill the hearts of all the soldiers?"

The implication of his words was that Xiao Yi wanted to take the blame on him in order to protect Guan Yubai, and wanted to kill him without any evidence.

He glared at Guan Yubai fiercely, his fierce eyes as if he wanted to kill someone, "Marquis An Yi, you are the treacherous villain who deceived the prince!"

Xiao Yi also looked at Guan Yubai, raised his eyebrows, but there was something like a smile in his eyes, and said silently: Xiao Bai, it turns out that you still have the potential to be a sycophant? !

From the beginning to the end, Guan Yubai was as calm as ever, drinking tea by himself, as if Meng Yiliang was just a clown, and as if Meng Yiliang's words were not worthy of his ears at all.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Meng Yiliang still wanted to scream, but this time, Xiao Yi was completely impatient, interrupted him directly, and directly ordered: "Pull it down, there will be a hundred sticks and military sticks."

One hundred military sticks is a heavy penalty. You must know that if every stick is used properly, ordinary people can hardly scream after thirty military sticks; after forty or fifty military sticks, their buttocks will probably be The skin is torn and the flesh is torn; by the time the blow reaches eighty or ninety, the person will have more air coming out and less air coming in.

Meng Yi's conscience sank and her face turned pale, then she heard Xiao Yi continue to give instructions: "Also, seal the Guna Mansion, capture all the Guna family members, and temporarily detain them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Deguang respectfully accepted the order, then waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to take Meng Yiliang away.

The two soldiers immediately and rudely dragged the unwilling Meng Yiliang outside the study...

"Let me go, general!"

Now, Meng Yiliang was really anxious and scared this time. He never expected that the prince would not care about his reputation at all, or that he was the person left behind by the old prince, and would insist on executing himself. .

One hundred military sticks!

He has been in the army for decades, and he knows best what will happen to a hundred military sticks. Even a young man with a strong heart may not be able to bear the consequences of eating these one hundred military sticks.

When the execution is over, even if he is lucky enough to survive, it will be useless!

His expression was full of fear and despair. While struggling with all his strength, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Let go of me, General!...Old Prince, you have a spirit in heaven, the prince is like this The treatment of veterans is really disgusting..."

As he was dragged away, his voice became farther and farther away, and finally ended with a shrill scream.

"Pa——"

"Pa——"

"..."

The two execution soldiers reported the count while waving their military sticks.

The two military sticks were crossed and struck downwards. Every time the heavy sticks were swung down, they whirred and carried the wind.

Meng Yiliang was pinned to the ground in embarrassment by two soldiers. He took off his pants and exposed his withered buttocks. The dull sound of the stick hitting the flesh was intertwined with his screams.

Meng Yiliang only felt an excruciating pain, and the cold feeling on his buttocks brought him great humiliation, making him angry, hateful and ashamed. He really wished he could pass out right now...

This scream, which was louder than the previous one, naturally spread to the Sun Yao Palace. Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai talked as if they had not heard anything, as if two leisurely tea guests were sitting in a tea room drinking tea and discussing. road.

But this tranquility was destroyed by the sound of hurried footsteps before even lasting a cup of tea.

A tall Xuanjia Army officer walked in quickly, with a serious look on his face. He clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, the officers of the third battalion under General Meng learned that he was ordered by you, Your Majesty. After taking it, the crowd was furious and the three battalions mutinied. All the generals from the battalion came to the palace to plead for his life and are now waiting outside the Xuyang Gate."

Meng Yiliang was a second-grade general who was awarded the title of Military Merit during the reign of King Nan of Laozhen. In Southern Xinjiang, his military rank was only slightly second to Tian He. He had three battalions with 10,000 people under his command. All of them could be said to have been trained by him. The cronies who came out.

There are currently 50,000 soldiers from Southern Xinjiang stationed in Nanliang. Once these three battalions mutiny, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the military camp and even instability in Nanliang. By then, I am afraid that Nanliang, which was finally defeated, will be lost. .

However, facing such a severe situation, Xiao Yi did not have any anxiety on his face. Instead, he raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "Xiao Bai, let's go out and watch the excitement."

The Xuyang Gate is the innermost gate of the Nanliang Palace. Without the approval of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, no one can easily enter this gate.

Guan Yubai smiled faintly, stood up and said, "Let's go get some fresh air."

While talking, the two walked out of the Sun Palace and walked forward leisurely.

As soon as Xiao Si, who was originally on the eaves, saw Guan Yubai coming out, he immediately jumped down from above and followed Guan Yubai lightly, like his shadow.

After leaving the Sun Yao Palace, Meng Yiliang's screams were heard more clearly and sharply. He must have seen Xiao Yi and shouted again: "Your Majesty... Master... ah!" He couldn't say anything.

It was soon suppressed by loud counting sounds:

"Seventeen!"

"Eighteen!"

"..."

The Xuyang Gate is directly opposite the Sun Yao Palace, and the distance between the two is only about a hundred feet. Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai can see dozens of Southern Xinjiang generals gathering outside the Xuyang Gate. , from the generals to the hundreds of households, their faces were full of indignation. They whispered to each other, looking at Meng Yiliang who was being tortured, and then turning to Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai.

A forty-year-old general with a mustache stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted Xiao Yi, and said plausibly: "Your Majesty, I will wait until I hear that your Majesty ordered a general to take care of the sick horse. General Meng captured it, but the generals and others thought that this matter had nothing to do with General Meng. The three thousand troops and horses were chosen by An Yihou. Even if the prince wants to question the crime, he should go to An Yihou."

Another young captain followed and cupped his fists and said: "Yes, Sir, please be careful. You can't pass the blame of An Yihou onto General Meng. This is really unfair!"

The generals at the rear echoed each other's words. The general raised his chin slightly and his tone became stronger and tougher: "I also ask the prince to comply with the morale of the army, release General Meng, and punish An Yihou severely, otherwise It really chills the hearts of our three battalions of 10,000 soldiers, so we can only ask ourselves to remove our armor and return to the field!"

The other generals nodded frequently and became excited.

Every one of them was filled with indignation, like a blazing flame.

These words are aggressive, with a momentum of forcing the palace, and the situation is about to break out!

Meng Yiliang, who was pressed on the execution bench, showed a trace of relief on his face. Although it was not his wish to get to such an extent, Meng Yiliang believed that the prince would definitely agree! Otherwise, even the prince would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility for the mutiny in the third camp! Once the military camp is in chaos, the prince will investigate and even take away his throne!

The prince should understand whether this matter is more serious or less important!

However, before Meng Yiliang could completely let go, he heard Xiao Yi slowly say: "Those who make trouble in the military camp will be dealt with according to military law!"

Decisive and arbitrary, leaving no room for negotiation.

The expressions of the dozens of generals froze, and the general showed even more anger, and said forcefully: "Master, I will not accept it! The superiors should convince people with reason. Master, you are so arbitrary, how can you convince others?" ..."

Xiao Yi's expression turned cold instantly, and he interrupted the other party with a cold voice: "Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy."

This time, he only gave six words.

When he suppressed his smile, his temperament changed drastically, as if he suddenly changed from a **** to a warrior.

He made a gesture, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who were guarding nearby immediately came out and surrounded these generals from both sides. A tall general directly pulled out the saber on his waist without ceremony.

Brush——

I saw a flash of silver sword light, and the gleaming blade pierced the general's abdomen at lightning speed. The tip of the knife penetrated from the lower back, dyeing from silver to blood, and blood beads from the tip of the blade. Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The general did not expect that the other party would dare to take his own life, and did not take precautions at all. However, the piercing and heart-burning feeling in his belly at this moment reminded him of this cruel reality. His mouth moved, but he couldn't speak at all. His round eyes were filled with despair.

The dozen or so soldiers around looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, and the hundred generals smiled coldly, turned the blade directly, and then came out from the waist, his body slowly Leaning back stiffly...

Everyone could almost clearly hear the sound of bones breaking and flesh being cut. The next moment, the bright red and dazzling blood spurted out from the wound on the waist, splashing on the face and shirt of the hundred generals. , and on several nearby soldiers.

The dozens of generals seemed to be mute, each one silent.

Their faces are not very pretty, the blood has faded, and their uncertain eyes are filled with fear.

What a courage!

What a courageous person. A small general took action at his will and directly killed a general. If the other party dared to take action, it was of course because he had the support of the prince behind him.

Since the prince dares to kill one, he dares to kill the rest of them. Anyway, killing one is killing, and killing all of them will only cost dozens of lives.

The young lieutenant looked at the dead-eyed general, then at the hundred generals with a bit of evil in their eyes, and then at the prince Xiao Yi who was smiling but not smiling, and felt a chill in his heart.

They all followed Meng Yiliang's command, and they were not familiar with the prince. In the past, they had only heard about the prince's deeds. They only knew that the prince was invincible on the battlefield, but they did not know him well.

It wasn't until this moment that they truly realized that the person in front of them was the Crown Prince who wielded military power with great military exploits, not their incomparably noble prince.

Although King Zhennan is the most noble person in Southern Xinjiang, in fact since the death of the old prince, most of the real power in the Southern Xinjiang army has been dispersed in the hands of generals. Although King Zhennan holds military power, he He has never been on the battlefield at all, and his authority in the army is not even as high as that of several generals. But the prince is completely different...

Yes!

They ignored one point, a crucial point. The prince's power in the southern Xinjiang army is unparalleled!

Especially those soldiers who followed him through Baiyue and Nanliang, they all obeyed him.

So, the prince is not afraid of their threats at all!

Even if their three battalions combined total 10,000 people!

Not only did these soldiers hesitate, but even Meng Yiliang himself was shocked. There was only one sentence lingering in his mind: How dare he? !

"This prince will not allow anyone to criticize his work." Xiao Yi's smile did not change, and his tone was still casual as usual, but this time no one dared to ignore every word in his words, "No more noise. Those who are killed will be killed without mercy!"

Guan Yubai smiled slightly. The most taboo thing about mutiny in the military camp is the hesitation of those in power. This will only lead to the final hijacking of the "military spirit". Just like the emperor is now "held hostage" by his ministers and dare not establish a prince...

The young captain swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yi looked at him with a smile, and his smile became even brighter, but the young captain suddenly fell silent and did not dare to speak anymore. He believed that if he said one more word, the prince's butcher's knife would be placed on his neck.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of the stick and the sound of counting.

"Forty-six."

"Forty-seven."

"Forty-eight."

"..."

When the soldiers counted to "fifty", Xiao Yi raised his hand and made a gesture, and the two execution soldiers immediately stopped their hands.

At this time, Meng Yiliang had shouted so hard that his voice was hoarse and he could hardly make a sound. The blood and sweat on his back were mixed together, making him feel hot and painful. He already felt that his body was not his own, leaving only pain. My breathing is even weaker, with less air coming in and more air coming out.

Seeing the execution soldiers stop, a spark of hope flashed in the eyes of Meng Yiliang and the young captain, and they both thought: Could it be that the prince just wanted to give them a blow?

Xiao Yi took a few steps forward, looked down at Meng Yiliang, whose eyes were wandering, and said with an arc at the corner of his mouth: "In an autumn hunting more than three years ago, in the hunting palace area at the foot of Shenlong Mountain, there was Horse plague broke out. Horse plague was transmitted from sick horses to humans, and then from humans to each other. As a result, the disease spread rapidly and was almost more terrifying than smallpox. Anyone who contracted the disease was a dead end, and hundreds of people died. If the right medicine had not been discovered in time and the culprit hiding behind the scenes had not been discovered, the epidemic might have been completely out of control, with corpses everywhere and ten rooms empty!"

Meng Yi's conscience sank, and she vaguely felt an ominous premonition. The prince would never mention the horse plague more than three years ago to him for no reason. Could it be that... Meng Yiliang almost didn't dare to think about it.

What Meng Yiliang thought of, the other soldiers not far away also thought of it, and they were all shocked and confused.

"The culprits are the Changdi people. They deliberately used the horse plague to try to spread the disease to the emperor and destroy our great wealth." Xiao Yi continued, "This time, we purchased three thousand horses from Dele's family. War horses are suffering from this kind of 'horse plague'. General Meng, who gave you the white marble moire lamp in your residence, where did the Liangxi Racecourse in your name come from, and the one you hide in the wall of your study What happened to the 50,000 taels of silver notes in the box?!"

After a pause, Xiao Yi sighed and said again: "General Meng, the Gu Na family are so generous! Since we have money and nowhere to spend it, why don't you come to honor my son?"

The more Meng Yiliang listened, the more frightened he became. How could the Master know all these secret things? ! Also, although he allowed the ancient family to give the horse medicine, Heragu said that the medicine would only cause the horse to suffer from a minor illness... How could it be horse plague? Or horse plague that can be transmitted to humans? !

He, he was actually deceived by Helagu? !

Thinking about it, Meng Yiliang trembled slightly, but now, if he admits it, it will be a dead end and even drag down the whole family.

Meng Yiliang could only grit his teeth and said weakly: "Master Shizi, you have misunderstood the general too deeply..."

The eyes of the soldiers who came to ask for orders moved back and forth between the two men. Although they were all Meng Yiliang's confidants, only two or three people knew about such a secret matter. The others were more hesitant. Naturally, I wanted to believe Meng Yiliang, but the prince spoke so clearly...

Xiao Yi looked down at Meng Yiliang with a smile but not a smile, and said: "General Meng, I don't know what benefits the Nanliang royal family has promised you. Do you want to use our entire army of 50,000 people to be buried with you?"

Every word seemed to fall out of the ice. The soldiers around were so nervous that they held their breath. A breeze blew in front of them, sending the thick smell of blood to everyone's noses...
