Chapter 1139: Chen Yuren confesses
What Yang Jiao was referring to was the middle-aged man surnamed Chen who was arguing with Cui Geng just now behind Meng Zechang.
The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Stinky girl, you don't want to declare personal vendettas!" I...... Am I not a slave? ”
"You're not a Hannu?" Yang Jiao sneered: "Let me ask you, are you a Han captured by the army of Ghost Lord Meng?" ”
"That's true, but I've already surrendered to Ghost Lord Meng."
"Nonsense, which of the Han slaves here didn't surrender to Ghost Master Meng? Those who did not surrender were beheaded. ”
"How can that be the same? Ghost Master Meng regarded them as slaves, but he treated Chen like a guest and obeyed his words......"
Chen Jiao interrupted impatiently: "So, Ghost Lord Meng announced, you are no longer a slave?" The Ghost Lord of Meng gave you the identity of the people of the Meng Ministry? When did he announce it? To whom? And who is the witness? ”
"I ......"
The middle-aged man was speechless, looked at Meng Zechang and said, "Ghost Master Meng, you are speaking fairly!" ”
Meng Zechang looked embarrassed, looked at Cui Geng and said, "This Chen Yuren is also capable under the hands of this ghost master, far from being comparable to ordinary Hannu......"
Originally, Cui Geng was indispensable for this, this middle-aged man was willing to be Meng Zechang's dog, what does it have to do with him?
However, when he heard the words "Chen Juren", he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: Niu Xianke said that the person who framed the governor of the prefecture, Zhang Xiansu, was not called Chen Juren?
Cui Geng raised his eyebrows and said, "This ghost master heard that Chen Yuren, the general of Yaozhou, surrendered to the Meng ghost master, but this is the person?" ”
"Yes, exactly."
"That's all right." Cui Geng bowed politely and said, "There is a Han high-ranking ~ official who pours tea and water for the ghost lord, isn't it a big long face?" Please also ask Ghost Master Meng to cut his love! ”
"This ......"
"Huh? Could it be that Ghost Meng mainly failed to break his promise? ”
"Of course not."
At the beginning, Cui Geng spent 400,000 yuan to buy all the Han slaves, including Chen Yuren.
Meng Zechang is not unable to break his word, but in his eyes, Chen Yuren is far less important than his own face. Just now, for Chen Yuren to say soft words to Cui Geng, he has already done his duty.
Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't say much, this Chen Yuren is the master of Ghost Lu." Let's clear the money and goods, and say goodbye! ”
"No."
It was getting late, Meng Zechang left, and the others left separately.
Cui Geng ordered people to arrange food and water for those Han people, and he also ate a little bit of food, and then prepared to sleep.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
When he opened the door, it was Cao Xian from the hen department.
It turned out that Cao Xian just treated Cui Geng as a puppet and maintained superficial respect. But after today's events, Cao Xian didn't dare to underestimate Cui Geng, bowed slightly, and said with a flattering face: "See Ghost Master Lu!" ”
"Ghost Lord Cao doesn't have to be polite, what are you looking for me?"
"Well, it's fine. It is...... It is...... How did you forget about her? ”
Cao Xian flashed, revealing Yang Jiao's figure. The beauty changed into plain clothes, and her face was reapplied with fat powder, which looked more and more delicate under the light.
Yang Jiao was slightly blessed and said, "See Ghost Lord Lu." You have been busy with official business, and you have never summoned your concubine. The concubine was not presumptuous, and begged the ghost master Cao to come to see her. ”
Of course, Cui Geng didn't think that Yang Jiao couldn't wait to recommend herself to the pillow, so she slapped her head and said, "Yang Niangzi wants to urge this ghost master to release Guo Zhongxiang as soon as possible, right?" ”
"The sooner this happens, the better. Now the waves in Yaozhou City are treacherous, and the concubines are really afraid of long nights and dreams. ”
Cui Geng nodded and said, "It's rare for you to have such insight as a weak woman." Okay, no problem, the Japanese ghost master will let Guo Zhongxiang go on the road tomorrow. ”
Cui Geng's own meaning is that it is getting late now, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the road, and Guo Zhongxiang is a weak scholar, which is really not suitable for the night road. It's better to wait for tomorrow when the sky is bright, and then set off for Tang.
But Yang Jiao misunderstood, her face was as red as blood, and she said: "Tomorrow is naturally possible." Just tonight...... If Ghost Lord Lu wants to get his wish, please do one thing for the concubine. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Helped the concubine kill Chen Yuren, if he hadn't told me today, I would have escaped with my husband."
Only then did Cui Geng understand what Chen Yuren meant when he said that Yang Jiao "communiquéed personal vendetta" during the day. Dare to love this Chen Yuren not only falsely accused the state governor Zhang Xiansu at the beginning, but also blocked the escape of Yang Jiao and his wife today.
Although he didn't have any ideas about Yang Jiao, he was still very interested in concocting Chen Jiaoren, a big traitor, and said, "No problem." Ghost Lord Cao, you go and bring Chen Yuren here. ”
"Yes."
Cao Xian took the order and left, and with little effort, he took Chen Yuren into Cui Geng's bedroom.
Chen Yuren saw that Yang Jiao's legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said, "Ghost Lord Lu spares his life, Ghost Lord Lu spares his life!" As long as you spare me from dying, I will repay you as a cow and a horse! ”
"Be a cow and a horse?" Cui Geng chuckled lightly and said, "This ghost master has a herd of cattle and horses, there is no more of you, and no less of you." ”
"I ...... Not only will I work for you, but I will also give you ideas! ”
"That's forgiven. This ghost is as deep as the sea, how can he use other people's ideas? ”
"I am also familiar with the inside story of Datang......"
"This ghost master is not uncommon!"
……
To put it simply, Chen Yuren tried his best to prove his worth, but Cui Geng was unmoved.
In the end, Cui Geng said: "Chen Yuren, you have no special ability, and you have no special merits, and you have offended Yang Niangzi...... Since this is the case, you are a dead end, and it is better to waste your efforts. ”
"No, I don't want to die! I don't want to die! ”
Under the oppression of death, Chen Yuren suddenly became anxious and said: "Although the little one has no special ability, he has established special merits!" ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"At the beginning, I framed Zhang Xiansu, the governor of the state, and caused him to be exterminated. Otherwise, Zhang Xiansu won the hope of the soldiers, and you may not be able to attack the state. ”
"Eh, that's a credit, and I can spare you for the time being." Cui Geng said happily: "Write it down, write it down, write down the details of this matter, and then press the handprint." ”
As soon as he said this, Chen Yuren and Yang Jiao were anxious.
Chen Yuren said: "Why do you still have to write it down? Who is writing it down for? ”
Yang Jiao said: "Ghost Lord Lu, don't forget the matter of promising your concubine before. ”
Cui Geng waved his hand and said, "Please don't be impatient, this ghost master asked Chen Yuren to write this thing, of course, there is a reason." ”
"What is the reason?"
"Yang Niangzi's husband Guo Zhongxiang was released to the Tang Dynasty, even with Guo Yuanzhen's protection, Yaozhou's past is always disgraceful, right?"
Nonsense, not only was he captured by the barbarians as a slave, but he also lost his wife, can it be glorious?
Yang Jiao Bingxue was smart, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said: "Could it be that Ghost Lord Lu wants to let his husband take this confession to the Tang Dynasty and clear his wrongs for Governor Zhang Xiansu?" ”
"Exactly." Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "This ghost master took his wife and gave him a great credit, which can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous to him." ”
This reason is reasonable, Yang Jiao weighed left and right, and no longer forced Cui Geng to execute Chen Yuren Chen Yuren died, and the effectiveness of this confession was greatly reduced. Only when he is alive can he prove that he was not coerced into writing this confession in the first place, and what he said is completely true.
As for Chen Yuren? Anyway, he has already taken refuge in the barbarians, so why should he care about his sins on the side of the Tang Dynasty?
Immediately, Chen Yuren brushed a little bit, introduced the incident, and wrote down his name and pressed his handprint.
Cui Geng handed this confession into Yang Jiao's hands and said, "Yang Niangzi take this confession to Guo Zhongxiang." ”
"Thank you, Ghost Lord Lu." Yang Jiao was slightly blessed, and hurriedly turned to leave, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
Cui Geng looked at the back of the beauty, laughed, and said, "Lady Yang doesn't have to leave in a hurry, this ghost lord pities the jade very much." As long as you are not happy, they will never attack you! ”
"Huh?" Yang Jiao stopped and said, "Is that really the case? ”
"That's nature, this ghost lord is waiting for the day when you take the initiative to give him a hug."
He obviously said it to Yang Jiao, but secretly he said it to Cao Xian and others. Otherwise, there is still half a month before the Barbarian King Meeting, and I spent 300,000 yuan to buy a beauty, but I didn't enjoy it, which is a little strange.
Cao Xian and others have nothing to do with themselves, and there is a general explanation. However, it is difficult to convince Guo Zhongxiang of this reason.
The effort was not big, and Cui Geng heard an angry roar, "Cheap~ people!" Are you treating me like a three-year-old? ”
Immediately after, there were bursts of women's cries in the dark night.
With the toes of his toes, he could think of what treatment Yang Jiao had received.
If you think about it carefully, you can't blame Guo Zhongxiang's own beautiful wife for being taken away by the barbarians. It took about an hour before he came back, and he brought with him a document that could make him meritorious. said that she didn't pay any price, it was completely a barbarian who took pity on the jade, can you believe it?
Cui Geng didn't have any good ways to deal with this, he or someone to explain it, it was a situation that became more and more black.
Alas, how can you still do good deeds?
Cui Geng was deeply depressed and fell into a deep sleep.
Knock knock~~
Early the next morning, Cui Geng heard a heavy knock on the door.
"Ghost Lord Lu, wake up, wake up!"
Cui Geng opened the door and saw that it was still Cao Xian, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Last night, Guo Zhongxiang sneaked away. Belch...... Someone sees it, and it's hard to stop it. ”
Cui Geng understands that with his "special relationship" with Yang Jiao, no one will leave Guo Zhongxiang without opening his eyes. Isn't that adding to your own blockage? Coupled with the rough etiquette of the barbarians, it is not surprising that Guo Zhongxiang was able to go out of the city at night.
He said a little strangely: "The surname Guo is gone, is it worth your shouting?" ”
"That's not what I said." Cao Xiandao: "The key is that before Guo Zhongxiang left, he left a few words. Mrs. Yang is not at ease, hurry up and let us come to you. ”
