Chapter 537: The Great Reversal
Su Jin's words made everyone stunned, and the soldiers and officials never thought that obeying the orders of the prefect would have such serious consequences, and in the mouth of this Lord Su, it was equivalent to chaos.
It is one thing to be ordered to do official duties, but it is another matter if there is chaos; The idea of rebellion and rebellion is unthinkable, and if the prefect really kept everyone in the dark and led everyone to jump off the cliff to bury him, this practice would be devastating.
There was a silence like death, silence means that there is doubt, how can Zhu Shiyong not understand this, if Su Jin is so bewitched, the situation will be out of control.
"This mansion is the prefect of Luzhou, and the thief Su Jin is just dying and talking nonsense, what can't he say at this time? This government has been an official for many years, and he is loyal to the court, how can he rebel and rebel as he said? All he said was a lie to scare you, where did the 10,000 forbidden troops come from? The forbidden army is stationed near Gyeonggi, and the emperor's permission is required for transfer, so it can be transferred just by saying that it can be transferred; Moreover, the purpose of this government to ban the four cities is to search for the death row prisoners who escaped from Xishan, and after taking this person, he will restore order in Luzhou, and report the matter to the court truthfully, don't be bewitched by him, and you can't afford to disobey the order. ”
Su Jin reprimanded angrily: "You still deny it to this day, are you still loyal? How do you explain the matter of Black Seven? How do you explain the matter of Chen Laogen? The fugitive escaped in the western mountains outside the city, how could he wait for you to arrest him in the city? As for whether the forbidden army will come, it's not up to you, the imperial court has already sent 100,000 forbidden troops to distribute them in various state capitals to set up roadblocks in order to cooperate with food affairs, so why should Lord Zhongcheng go to the capital to ask for the transfer of troops? Your fox's tail has been exposed, and I have caught it and can't retract it, and no matter how much you deny it, it will be in vain. ”
Zhu Shiyong roared: "Light the fire, light the fire, and burn them all to death!" ”
The soldiers looked at each other, but none of them were willing to be the first to step forward and light the fire; Zhu Shiyong's eyes were about to pop out, and he grabbed Chen Erwang beside him and shouted: "Go and light the fire, what are you doing in a daze?" Disobedience? ”
Chen Erwang said in a trembling voice: "Lord Fuzun...... This one...... It's better than ...... If we capture them alive, it would be better to ask the whereabouts of the fugitives, right? ”
Zhu Shiyong knew that Chen Erwang was suspicious, grabbed him by the collar and glared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "This is ...... Command! Are you going or not? ”
Chen Erwang said with a sad face: "My lord...... Someone else will light the fire, will it be? ”
Zhu Shiyong sneered, waved his hand, and slashed directly at Chen Erwang's face, splitting Chen Erwang's big face in half obliquely.
"Chen Erwang disobeys orders and disrespects, and the military law will deal with it, whoever dares to disobey orders will end up with this." Zhu Shiyong shouted.
The soldiers were in an uproar, and the prefect was obviously a little crazy, and in the blink of an eye, he had already personally stabbed Commander Yang and the head of the capital, Chen Erwang, who seemed to have no scruples about the consequences; Although the military law of the army is very strict, only the soldiers who flee from the battle will have the army to supervise the army or the general to slash and kill him, and under normal circumstances, he must be found out and convicted, and then beheaded; Like Zhu Shiyong, he slashed and killed him without saying a word, which has exceeded the rules for thousands of miles.
Su Jin said in a loud voice: "Did you see it?" This is the man who jumps over the wall in a hurry, and he knows that he will die, so he does not take your life. Don't you understand? ”
The soldiers were already in a state of no master of the six gods, on one side were the prefect who obeyed his orders, and on the other hand, they were the special envoys of the grain affairs, and they didn't know which side to stand on.
Zhu Shiyong's eyes wandered among the soldiers and servants who were like clay sculptures, his eyes were like thorns, and every time he passed someone, that person's body shook obviously, for fear of being selected by Zhu Shiyong.
Zhu Shiyong's gaze stayed on a figure that covered his face with the straw he was holding in his arms, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Liu Cangsi." ”
Liu Dalang wanted to cry without tears, scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu covered his face with straw, you old dog still chose me, fuck. Eighteenth generation grandmother of your ancestors!
"Humble ...... Humble! ”
"You go and light the fire." Zhu Shiyong said coldly.
"This ...... Humble Feelings...... Firewood doesn't seem to be enough, I'm afraid the fire won't burn. ”
"Shut up, do you dare to disobey my orders?" Zhu Shiyong slowly raised the blood-dripping steel knife in his hand and slowly approached Liu Dalang.
"Humble ...... How dare you be lowly! Liu Dalang was frightened, hurriedly put down the firewood and grass, reached out to take the torch in the hands of the soldier next to him, and walked towards the pile of firewood and grass step by step.
When ten steps away from the pile of firewood and grass, Su Jin made a look, Wang Chao pulled out a dagger from his waist, raised his hand, a cold light flew by, the dagger was in the middle of the burning part of the torch, and suddenly sparks splashed black ash and flew around, and the flying ash scattered on Liu Dalang's head, face and neck, he screamed and jumped wildly, but the torch was not extinguished and still crackling and burning, Liu Dalang only needed to raise his hand and throw it, and the whole hall would become a sea of fire.
Su Jin said: "Liu Cangsi, I am thinking of the love of the old man, if it weren't for you and I getting acquainted, this dagger would be your throat; Are you really obsessed? Do you really think that the collusion between you and Zhu Shiyong is unaware? Do you know Sun Xiaoliu? ”
Liu Dalang was stunned, Sun Xiaoliu was a jailer when he was the head of the state prison; It has been a long time since he was promoted to the original jailers, but he didn't know why Su Jin mentioned this person.
"I only say two names to know with you, and you can figure out the rest by yourself, the first name is Sun Xiaoliu, and the second name is Wu Wuge; If you're smart enough, you'll understand the connection. If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do. ”
Su Jin's words were like a hammer hitting Liu Dalang's heart, Liu Dalang is not a fool, Sun Xiaoliu and himself are both jailers, and on the night he went to strangle Wu Wuge, Sun Xiaoliu was on duty in the cell, although he poured him some wine and meat, Sun Xiaoliu snored like thunder when he started; But when he came out, Sun Xiaoliu didn't know where to go; When he found him later, he deduced that he was peeing, and he was a little flustered at the time and didn't think much about it, but now he thinks that Sun Xiaoliu's expression is quite unnatural.
Since Su Jin said Sun Xiaoliu's name, it was obvious that something must have come out of Sun Xiaoliu's mouth, and nine times out of ten, the situation of slaughtering Wu Wuge by himself fell into Sun Xiaoliu's eyes, and Su Jin knew all this.
"Liu Cangsi, although Su knew about your deeds, he didn't make it public, you only have two ways to go today, one is to follow Zhu Shiyong to rebel, burn me to death, and then be killed by the court army that rushed in; The second way is to immediately get lost, and I know that you are instructed to do it, and as long as you are guilty of it, the envoy will definitely rot it in his stomach and never mention it to anyone. Even if it is leaked in the future, the merits and demerits will not be a capital crime. ”
Liu Dalang had already made up his mind that he couldn't let Su Jin live today no matter what, but suddenly Su Jin gave him two choices that were not difficult, as long as he was not a fool, he would naturally weigh which option was the best.
Like a gluttonous eater who has been hungry for three days and three nights, the first choice is like a delicacy smeared with poison, which is quick for a while, and then it is bound to die a miserable death; The second option is a bowl of clean white rice, which is not very tasty but safe and secure.
Su Jinmiao is wonderful in that he did not promise glory and wealth, as soon as those words came out, Liu Dalang would definitely doubt Su Jin's motives; Su Jin just said to save his life, although it didn't sound very attractive, but it was the most tangible promise.
"Liu Dalang, what are you hesitating about? If you don't throw the torch over, do you want to die? Zhu Shiyong shouted violently.
Liu Dalang was silent, stretched out his hand to throw the torch on the ground, turned around and said, "Lord Fuzun, you can change someone else, Lord Su is my acquaintance, I can't bear to do it." ”
Zhu Shiyong scolded angrily: "What did you say? Do you think you have a way out? You killed Wu Ge with your own hands, and it is an iron law for the killer to pay for his life, do you think you can hide from it? ”
Liu Dalang changed color and said: "Lord Fuzun, since you don't care about my life and death to tell this matter in public, don't blame your humble position for shaking it all away; Yes, Fifth Brother Wu was killed by me, but you forced me to do it, brothers, what Lord Su said was exactly word-for-word, Zhu Shiyong ordered Hei Qi and others to kill Qin Dalang and kill him, and ordered Fifth Brother Wu to forge a desperate letter on the corpse to blame Lord Su; Later, when Master Bao found out, Zhu Zhifu lured Wu Wu Ge to confess that everything was done by him, and after obtaining a false confession, he ordered me to hang Wu Wu Ge in prison; Zhu Shiyong is a well-dressed beast, everyone should not believe him again, otherwise they will all be dragged to death by him. ”
Liu Dalang's words were like spring thunder rolling over everyone's heads, scorching the outside and tender inside, if Su Jin's words were not credible, Liu Dalang, the deputy warehouse secretary who was a subordinate official of the Yamen, told this secret, it must be true; Everyone can see that Su Jin and the others are dying, in this case, it is impossible for Liu Dalang to speak against the water to help Su Jin, the only reason is that what Su Jin said is true, Liu Dalang realized that if he followed Zhu Shiyong, he would eventually die without a place to be buried, so he told the truth.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhu Shiyong, with surprise and fear in their eyes, this Zhu Governor is not like the law-abiding man he advertised, and he was secretly doing the dirty thing of killing people and killing people.
After this incident was confirmed, it seems that the matter of banditry that Su Jin said must not be groundless.
Su Jin could finally breathe a sigh of relief, cold sweat swishing on his back, and his whole body was weak; He understands that the most dangerous time has passed.
