1137 The Great Trial Guard

Compared with the censorship in Taicheng, the Su Wei side is actually more troublesome.

Although these guards are not elite soldiers, they all have a minimum sense of organization, but they also have a minimum sense of organization. It may be powerless to go into battle to kill the enemy, but when it comes to concealing and covering up each other's crimes, it is more reliable than those Taiwanese officials.

The censorship of the guards was mainly focused on the coercion of rebellion and the mutiny in Stone Town, the murder of the chief official Zhou Mo and other ministers. On the surface, although the person presiding over this affairs is Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, the main person in charge is Mao Bao, who followed the capital this time.

Although King Wuling has a noble status, he lacks both ability and prestige. Mao Bao temporarily led the town army, but he was used for a long time, and he was rarely known by the Jinai generals, and the guards themselves were quite an exclusive group, so the progress in this area was not smooth.

In the statements of the generals of the guards, they were simply innocent, and some even directly denied that there was such a thing as rebellion in the capital, only saying that even if they did anything, they were all ordered by the chief general, and they didn't know what happened at all.

In the face of such a situation, Mao Bao also felt quite helpless, his talent was not in the judgment of the merits, and the particularity of the guards was not suitable for forced questioning, so the status quo was temporarily maintained, and the soldiers were detained in the camp respectively, and the review was temporarily put aside, waiting for a breakthrough in other aspects.

However, the Metropolitan Governor ordered to complete the sorting out and judgment of the rebellion of the guards before the Shuo Ri Dynasty, and the time became short. However, this is not an impossible task, because there is some help that comes with this warrant. Due to the breakthrough in Taiwan affairs, Li Chong was temporarily assigned to assist in handling the affairs of the guards.

The current in the capital may only know the name of an eagle dog alongside Shanyao for Li Chong, but in Jiangbei, especially under the governor's mansion, it is known that Shanyao is vicious, Li Chong is ruthless, and in the face of the end of the guard, Li Chong has more ways than Shanyao.

As long as the fierce power of Shanyao can withstand it, it is actually not terrible. However, Li Chong has many tricks, which is difficult to prevent, and he is the best person to deal with the current situation.

After Li Chong arrived at the camp of the guards, he first took the relevant files of King Wuling and Mao Bao's recent trial and carefully read them, but found that there was almost no progress in the matter, and it was completely stagnant.

"Most of these guard commanders are treacherous, covering each other, like hemp and wool, which is really difficult to sort out."

Mao Bao also knew that such a progress was really unreasonable, because there was no lack of embarrassment.

"Director Mao Hou is to seek victory and stability, and to be less filthy and treacherous, and let you deal with this kind of affairs, which is a shallow use of high talents."

Li Chong is not as unkind as Shan Yao, especially not too embarrassing, and because of this, many people have been punished for his investigation, but they have not accumulated too many feuds.

These useless files were all thrown aside by Li Chong, and then asked Mao Bao to help prepare for a new round of trial. According to his request, bamboo huts were erected on the entire camp and school grounds, and these bamboo huts were separated by a cloth curtain, leaving only one person to sit inside, and the little officials who were in charge of writing down the records sat in the open air in rows.

These tasks are very simple, just tell the guards who have been reorganized to do it. In less than an hour, the entire trial hall was set up, and then the captains of the guards who were in prison were brought in for arraignment.

The Sixth Army itself is also a huge armed organization, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and in terms of purely military strength, it is not even inferior to those powerful feudal towns outside the country. However, because it is too close to the center, it is more impregnated by power struggle, and it lacks a lot of indispensable purity of the army, and it also has a chaotic banner and structure, so it is not the same in terms of combat effectiveness.

This time, the low-level commanders, including the captains, were not actually involved, but even so, there were still hundreds of generals who needed to be reviewed.

In a song, there are several generals and leaders, or only one general, and they don't even know where the battalion under their command is, which also shows the chaotic management of the guards themselves, as well as the neglect and undignified nature of the center's affairs of this kind of military guard.

Although the folk martial arts were blazing due to the triumphant song of the Northern Expedition, this trend has not yet formed a sense of unity from top to bottom. It can also be seen that the front desk assistants are thinking about balancing the Jiangbei armed forces, and they only stay at the superficial surface of whether it is theoretically feasible. Of course, it is unknown whether there is any restraint from the Shen family and his followers.

The division of territory among the guards is the most serious, and it can be seen from the generals alone that almost the generals of the entire army and battalion are fellow villagers. Of course, we must really study it carefully, and when the training and rationing are insufficient, the gathering of township parties is also one of the ways to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness, but it must not be called a good state.

After these guard generals entered, they saw such an arrangement on the school grounds, and they didn't know why for a while. Soon Mao Bao stepped forward and asked people to bring two large baskets of bamboo plaques, each painted in three colors: red, black, and blue, and distributed them to each of the generals of the guard, and then announced the rules of this trial.

This rule is also very simple, that is, the generals enter the corresponding bamboo shed according to the bamboo card in their hands, and it is strictly forbidden to talk to each other, whispering, once found to be talking in secret words, whether the listener or the speaker is immediately arrested and convicted!

After this order was announced, it caused a series of noises in the field, but soon the sound of drums and trumpets sounded on the school ground, and at the same time, a torture platform for swords, swords, canes, whips and other murder weapons was also set up behind Mao Bao's body, and even a military law pillar used to show the head of the owl.

Seeing this scene, the generals were inevitably awe-inspiring in their hearts, although they had no lack of stubborn resistance in their attitudes, but in fact, it was just a tricky attitude, but in fact, the subordinates took everything they could, and it was really difficult to make a strong posture.

With the rapid sound of drums and trumpets, the generals also recognized their own color logos and hurried into the corresponding bamboo huts. However, when the drum and trumpet stopped, a few people were still a little slower, and they were stopped by the patrol guards, escorted to the vicinity of the torture platform, and each was whipped before being put in.

This kind of torture should have been extremely indignant in people's hearts, but because there were only a few torturers, most people still chose to remain silent. After all, those people are also to blame, and others can find their place before the drum order stops, but they can't, and they can only blame themselves for being slow.

If it were a punishment for violating the taboo, the generals of the guards who had reached a certain tacit agreement would probably have to speak out against it, but they would not support it for such obvious clumsiness and mistakes of others.

Huan Wen is naturally also among this group of guard generals, and he has found his position very early, since he was imprisoned, he has kept a low profile, neither out of the top nor behind in everything, since these guard generals are all using this way to protect themselves, he will not be unconventional, rush to confess.

Sitting in this newly erected interrogation venue at this moment, Huan Wen also had a slight guess in his heart, he was still turning his head to look at this new environment, but found that the official sitting opposite him had already picked up his pen and began to record. However, he didn't say anything, and the other party didn't ask anything!

At the same time, Huan Wen raised his eyes and looked out, only to find that some officials in other directions had also begun to write and record. From his point of view, he could only see the officials who were bowing their heads and flying like a pen, but he couldn't see the situation of the rest of the guards sitting in the curtain, so he couldn't judge whether he had encountered a similar situation to him.

Soon, Huan Wen gradually had a realization in his heart, and such a layout was to amplify the mutual suspicion and distrust in each person's heart. Otherwise, even if it is a new environment, there will not be such a large number of confessions all of a sudden.

With this discovery, the corners of Huan Wen's mouth couldn't help but arouse a hint of ridicule, feeling that the person who designed this strategy was a little ridiculous, and it was too cold, and people who were really a little rational would probably not be confused by this.

Huan Wen can't guess what the mood of others is, but as far as he is concerned, whether the rest of the people recruit or not, it actually doesn't have much to do with him, because his crimes are different from those people, and even if those people confess, they won't implicate him.

Soon, the whole school fell into a kind of weirdness. All they saw was the scribes flying with pens and the soldiers patrolling the field, and beyond that, the curtains around them and a corner of the sky that peeked out beyond the curtains.

Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and suddenly a violent roar came from a certain bamboo shed: "I haven't said a word, what are you remembering!" ”

"Take it!"

Mao Bao's solemn roar suddenly sounded next to the torture platform, and even though a soldier rushed into the room, he put the person who had just shouted on the execution platform, and then raised his knife and fell, and soon a bloody head was hung on the military justice pillar.

Seeing this scene, there was an uproar in the audience, such a simple beheading, but it was completely different from the simple whipping before. Therefore, for a while, the generals of the guards, who had been anxious in their hearts, could no longer hold back, and each rushed out of the bamboo shed where they were, jumping to their feet and scolding, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

However, at this time, a row of armor soldiers behind Mao Bao had already raised their crossbows and went straight to the middle of the field coldly, even if everyone made an uproar, they didn't dare to approach the execution platform at all.

"I have received the king's order and the order of the governor of Shen, you can be silent, but I must not be silent. For now, everyone is still asking for their own will, not to force me, and please don't force me to kill indiscriminately! This person violated the previous covenant and deserved it, I wonder who else is willing to defy the law? ”

Mao Bao stood on the torture platform and said awe-inspiringly, and then ordered the generals to be driven back to the bamboo shed. Although the generals are still complaining, at least they understand that the scene in front of them is just a false deception, as long as they don't open their mouths, there is still nothing they can do about themselves.

The biggest panic in their hearts was gone, and everyone cursed in a low voice, while reluctantly returning to their respective bamboo sheds. This time, I was determined in my heart, and I just watched those scribes bow their heads and read books, occasionally sneering.

Nearly an hour passed like this, and suddenly someone in the field heard the sound of riotous footsteps coming from the bamboo shed next to him, and his heart moved, and he saw that there was no one on the other side except for a scribe who bowed his head and wrote, so he quietly moved to the corner, and suddenly lifted the corner of the curtain, only to find that there was no one inside, but he clearly saw a general of the guard walking into it earlier!

With this discovery, the man's heart was suddenly alarmed, and he was just about to open his mouth to ask, but he suddenly remembered the unlucky guy who had been beheaded for the loud shouting, and for a while he was cold again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the whole person began to become restless.

At the same time, there was also a strange sound behind the bamboo shed where Huan Wen was sitting, and when he looked back, he saw that the curtain behind him had been lifted, and several strong crossbows pointed directly at him, and another person made a silent gesture while signaling him to hurry out.

It wasn't until this point that Huan Wen realized the real sinister nature of this layout, and he could already imagine that if he refused to come out, he would probably be shot on the spot, and after disposing of the body without alarming the rest of the people, and disappearing in front of people, the ghost drawings written by the scribe became his confession of betrayal of the guards!

In other words, it doesn't matter whether he recruits or not, what the other party asks for is not the truth, but a conclusive result!

Realizing this, Huan Wen stood up from his seat and hurried to an attic in the corner of the school yard under the coercion of the crossbows.

The attic was guarded by hundreds of armor soldiers, and the only person sitting in it was Li Chong, seeing Huan Wen bowing his head and entering, Li Chong said: "Huan Yuanzi, the Metropolitan Governor is very disappointed in you. It is not a pity what your life and death will be, but your father's reputation and your brother's future are between your mouth and nose. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a bookcase opposite, on which there was pen, ink and paper, and the meaning was already extremely obvious.

Seeing this, Huan Wen no longer resisted, sat down in the seat and grabbed the pen, and then looked at Li Chong and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what Governor Shen needs me to write?" ”

"Record what you have seen, and tell you what you have done."

Li Chong said in a deep voice: "Although the act is very treacherous, the result must be solid and convincing to the public, I Huainan style is not you can do, write it." ”
