Chapter 269: Clever Tongue
Yunshan Mansion City, the Guard Army commands the embassy.
The night was deep, and the huge guard army commanded the embassy under the cover of night, the lights in the palace were lit, but it was silent, and the front and rear of the commanding embassy and the side door were guarded by soldiers.
The silence of the night was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and soon a troop of cavalry appeared from the long street, followed by hundreds of soldiers armed with guns and swords, whose armor was the same as that of the Praetorian Guard.
The first person, tall, riding on a horse, majestic, suddenly the Praetorian Guard commanded Wei Tianqing.
"Surround the mansion, not a single fly is allowed to fly away." Wei Tianqing's expression was cold, he waved his hand to command, the team was divided into several teams, and each district surrounded the other gates, and Wei Tianqing came to the main gate with dozens of soldiers.
The soldiers guarding the door of the mansion were all surprised, the Praetorian Guards were so aggressive, and the sword armor came to the command embassy, but they didn't know why.
Wei Tianqing stopped, glanced at the plaque on the door, smiled coldly, waved his hand, and a soldier rushed forward, and the soldiers who commanded the embassy had already drawn their swords to stop in front of the door, and someone had already said sharply: "Bold, who dares to trespass?" ”
The soldiers on both sides confronted each other, Wei Tianqing had already raised his hand and raised his knife, and said coldly: "Luo Shiheng colluded with the chaotic party to rebel, and he didn't dodge, if he stopped it again, he would be a chaotic party!" ”
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were numerous and violent, and the soldiers of the guard in front of the door looked at each other, not knowing whether it was true or not, Wei Tianqing shouted again: "Don't retreat yet!" ”
The soldiers didn't dare to stop anymore, they scattered left and right, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard knocked on the door hard, the door soon opened, and the person who opened the door inside opened his mouth to scold, but Wei Tianqing had already raised a kick and kicked the person to the ground, and immediately someone stepped forward to take down the servant who opened the door.
Soon, the entire commanding embassy was in a mess, chickens and dogs jumped, and the Praetorian Guards rushed in like wolves and tigers, and arrested people when they saw them, and all of them were escorted to the main courtyard.
Commanding the embassy to have some martial artists to protect the courtyard, they came out with weapons and wanted to resist, Wei Tianqing mercilessly ordered to be killed, and a few heads rolled on the ground, so no one dared to resist anymore and put down the weapons.
The Praetorian Guards broke in from the gates, leaving people to guard the door, and the others entered the palace to arrest people, and in less than half an hour, hundreds of men and women who commanded the palace were all escorted to the main courtyard, and none of them were missed, even Luo Ding, who was recuperating on the couch, was also arrested and brought to the hospital.
Luo Shiheng's family naturally didn't know what was going on, frightened and angry, Luo Ding was carried out, sat on the ground, and shouted: "What are you going to do? Do you know where this is? You trespass on the Command Embassy, you ...... You're going to rebel! ”
Wei Tianqing put away the saber, and when he walked around, the armor rubbed and made a "click" sound, which was both powerful and cold, squinted at Luo Ding, and said coldly: "Young Master Luo, you don't have to shout, it's true that you have already rebelled, but it's not that we want to rebel, but your Luo clan wants to rebel." ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense! Luo Ding said angrily: "Wei Tianqing, you are spewing blood, you declare personal vendettas, wait for your father to come back, and see how you explain." ”
Wei Tianqing laughed and said, "Young Master Luo, your father has indeed returned, but there are already people entertaining him at this time, and I am only worried that your father and son will never see each other again." ”
……
……
At this time, the yamen of the Criminal Department of Yunshan Mansion was like a great enemy, and the door of the house was closed, but the main hall of the Criminal Department was brightly lit, as bright as day, and the people who were waiting in the lobby were not the criminal divisions of the Criminal Department, but the six gods and guards with frosty faces.
Holding the hilt of his sword, the guard looked straight ahead, his body as straight as a javelin, his legs slightly apart, as motionless as a stone statue.
And sitting in the main seat of the lobby of the Criminal Department is Lan Tingyu, the director of the Criminal Department.
Above the lobby, the atmosphere was gloomy and cold, Lan Tingyu sat upright, seeing Luo Shiheng, who was tied up by five flowers, come to the lobby, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when Luo Shiheng stood still in the hall, he said lightly: "Who is in the hall?" ”
Luo Shiheng, as a prisoner, was not afraid, and sneered: "Lan Tingyu, are you blind?" ”
"Bold!" Lan Tingyu said angrily: "Luo Shiheng, you dare to talk to this official like this. ”
Luo Shiheng laughed and said: "You are not blind, how can you not recognize Lao Tzu?" The head of the small criminal department also dares to call himself an official in front of Lao Tzu, do you still know the rules. ”
Lan Tingyu knew that Luo Shiheng was a difficult character, calmed down, leaned back in his chair, and sneered: "Luo Shiheng, you are now a prisoner of the ranks, do you still dare to claim to be a commander?" ”
Although Luo Shiheng was handcuffed with heavy shackles and leg shackles, he was still domineering, and he looked up and said: "The command of this general is the decree of the saint, and the officials and military departments all have files, is it not that you Lan Tingyu said no?" Without the will of the Holy Lord, who would dare to take away the official position of this general? ”
His voice is very loud, but it has the tendency to dominate the guests.
Lan Tingyu's eyebrows furrowed, and he sneered: "Luo Shiheng, you intend to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the evidence of rebellion is conclusive, and you dare to call yourself my minister of Great Qin?" ”
Luo Shiheng took a step forward, the iron shackles on his body rattled, and the guards on both sides held down the handle of the knife, just waiting for Luo Shiheng to make a slight move, and he was about to make a move, but Luo Shiheng was not presumptuous, he took a step forward and stopped, looked at Lan Tingyu coldly, and said sharply: "Assassinate His Royal Highness King Qi?" Conclusive? It's ridiculous, how could this general have assassinated His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”
Lan Tingyu frowned and said, "Luo Shiheng, do you really want to quibble?" ”
"Ben will always dare to do things." Luo Shiheng said: "What the general has done, he will not deny it, and what he has not done is that if you play tricks again, the general will not recruit." ”
Lan Tingyu picked up the startling wood and slapped it with a "snap", and as soon as the sound in the hall passed, Lan Tingyu had already said sharply: "That official asked you, outside Zhongyi Village, Mao County, Hanzhou, the person who led the army to murder His Highness, isn't it you?" Do you dare to deny that you were not on the scene? ”
Luo Shiheng shook his head and said: "Ben Jiang does not deny that Ben Jiang was indeed present at that time. ”
"Then you confessed?"
"Ridiculous." Luo Shiheng snorted coldly: "Ben Jiang is there, but it doesn't mean that Ben Jiang is assassinating His Royal Highness King Qi." He looked directly at Lan Tingyu and said loudly: "Lan Tingyu, if you want to buckle your hat on Ben General's head, Ben Jiang will never agree!" ”
"You're ......!" Lan Tingyu couldn't imagine that Luo Shiheng was so messing around, and said angrily: "Your Highness said it yourself, could it be that Your Highness framed you?" ”
Luo Shiheng shook his head and said, "The general didn't say that His Highness was lying. Ben will go to Hanzhou, but he got the news that he heard that there are chaotic parties in Maoxian County, Hanzhou, and this time Xu University Scholar came to Xishan Road, and when Ben will accompany the University Scholar to inspect the guard, the University Scholar also instructed him to beware of the chaos in Xishan Road. Ben took the instructions of the university scholars to heart, and learned that there were traces of the chaotic party in Hanzhou, so he naturally wanted to go and find out ......! ”
Lan Tingyu sneered: "Could it be that Your Highness is the chaotic party in your mouth?" ”
Luo Shiheng said indifferently: "This is what you said, Ben Jiang didn't say that." Ben will learn that there are traces of the rebel party near Zhongyizhuang, so he led people to secretly investigate, this is loyal to his duty, but he doesn't know what the crime is? ”
"Clever tongue." Lan Tingyu said: "Luo Shiheng, I didn't expect you to have such a tongue. It's just that it's useless for you to say anything, Your Highness himself said that it was you who led people to commit assassination, and no matter how clever you are, you will not escape the great crime. ”
Luo Shiheng laughed.
Lan Tingyu slapped the shocked wood and said angrily: "Luo Shiheng, you are reckless, how can you be presumptuous in this hall of the Criminal Department?" ”
"You keep saying that His Royal Highness King Qi is, but I don't know where His Highness is?" Luo Shiheng said slowly: "Ben Jiang has never seen King Qi. And the general has never heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has come to Xishan Road, and he doesn't know that the King of Qi will appear in Hanzhou. ”
Lan Tingyu frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”
Luo Shiheng and Lan Tingyu looked at each other, without fear, and said: "What Ben Jiang said is very clear, you have been saying that Ben Jiang has been buttoning his hat, saying that Ben will assassinate His Highness, but Ben Jiang has never seen His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
At this moment, a voice came from behind the lobby: "Luo Shiheng, you are really bold, you are still quibbling?" Yingren had already turned out from behind, with an angry face, and raised his hand to point to his face, "Take a good look, do you still recognize this king?" ”
Luo Shiheng looked at Yingren, first deliberately looked at it twice, and then made a look of surprise and knelt on the ground: "The minister will see His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”
Lan Tingyu didn't dare to sit down at this time, got up and retreated to the side, Yingren sat down on the main seat, and sneered: "Do you know this king now?" When you entered Beijing four years ago, you saw this king in Beijing. ”
Luo Shiheng said respectfully: "Your Highness has always been good? The ministers did not know that His Royal Highness had come to Yunshan Mansion, but he failed to meet him, and he was rude, and asked His Highness to surrender his guilt. ”
"You are guilty." Yingren said: "But it is not a crime of disrespect, but a crime of assassination and rebellion." ”
Luo Shiheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the minister will be wronged!" ”
"Wronged?" Yingren said angrily: "This king has come out to testify, and you still dare to say that you have been wronged?" Outside Zhongyi Village, the one who led people to assassinate the king, isn't it you Luo Shiheng? ”
Luo Shiheng didn't show any panic, raised his head and said, "Your Highness, the general really didn't know that it was His Highness at that time. The minister only learned that there was a chaotic party near Zhongyizhuang, so he took someone to investigate. ”
Yingren pointed at Luo Shiheng and said, "Then when you see this king, why do you want people to shoot this king?" ”
Luo Shiheng said calmly: "The minister saw that someone was strange at that time, so he stepped forward to inquire, but he didn't know that someone took the lead in making a move...... The minister will offend His Highness, he is really guilty, and please ask His Highness to surrender his guilt! ”
Lan Tingyu frowned and said, "But at that time, His Highness had already declared his identity, why did you still do it?" ”
Luo Shiheng said: "The minister will think that if it is His Royal Highness, there will be many guards to protect it, but at that time, the minister will only see that there is only one person next to His Highness, although His Highness reported his identity, but the minister will think that it is a chaotic party impersonation, and the guard next to His Highness took out a knife without authorization, and the minister will offend His Highness by negligence, but there is a crime of negligence!" ”
"Do you want to avoid the heavy?" Lan Tingyu said coldly: "Didn't you recognize Your Highness at that time?" ”
Luo Shiheng shook his head and said: "It's the ministers who are ignorant, His Royal Highness had blood on his face at that time, and his clothes were torn, and the sky was very dark at that time, so he didn't recognize it." ”
He replied fluently, and apparently had already thought of his words.
At this moment, the sound of clapping hands was heard, and Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan Dao, had already turned out from the side, "This official has always only thought that Lord Luo's martial arts are extraordinary, but he can't imagine that his eloquence is so good, admire and admire!" ”
When Luo Shiheng saw Qiao Mingtang come out, his expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Luo Shiheng is not good at words, as we all know, today's events are based on the truth, how can he be eloquent?" ”
Qiao Mingtang said lightly: "Luo Shiheng, this official only asks you, who instructed you to assassinate His Highness?" If you confess, you may be able to atone for your sins, so that your family will not be implicated. ”
Luo Shiheng glanced at Qiao Mingtang coldly, and said: "Ben Jiang has already said that the assassination of His Royal Highness is purely an accident, and Ben will have the crime of negligence and offense, but he has no intention of rebelling and rebelling. If you are instructed by anyone, hehe, Governor Joe, I really don't understand what you mean. ”
