Chapter 65: False Accusations and Self-Defense
Zhang Biwu pointed at Zhao Dayong and said, "Yes!" I know him! At the beginning, he and I were both wronged, so when I learned that he was forced into the gang by thieves and got on the thief ship, I strongly persuaded him to turn back to the shore, and only by serving the court can he glorify his ancestors, which is the best way out. Because of this, Zhao Dayong and his brother Zhao Dawei changed their past mistakes and joined me to serve the imperial court! Is there something wrong with that? ”
Zhao Dayong is no longer the Zhao Dayong of a few years ago, he has been tempered by King Li Chuang, and now when he heard what Zhang Biwu said, he completely understood and said, "Yes! Is it wrong for me to turn from darkness to light? I want to serve the court! I also regret that I was forced to go to Liangshan by corrupt officials before! ”
Zhao Dayong said that there was fire in his eyes when he said that corrupt officials, he wanted to glare at Cai Tu, but he couldn't hold back, he couldn't even involve Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu glanced at Zhao Dayong appreciatively, and sure enough, it was not the honest Zhao Dayong before, so he glared at Cai Tu and asked, "Did you hear that?" Cai Zhizhou! ”
Cai Tu said sharply: "Zhang Biwu, don't quibble!" Empty words! Zhang Biwu said again: "Okay! Since Lord Zhizhou also knows that there is no evidence for the empty words, what evidence do you have to prove that I am a thief? ”
Cai Tu said: "Okay! I'll let you die without anything to say! Zhang Biwu said-for-tat: "I am an official of the imperial court, if you kill the official of the imperial court, your nine clans will not be protected!" Cai Tu is trembling, he really has to prove Zhang Biwu's crime in order to kill Zhang Biwu, although the current Zhang Biwu and Huang Qicai, the whole Shaanzhou City is like an iron bucket, Zhang Biwu can't escape, but Zhang Biwu's crime can't be proven, kill Zhang Biwu, Cai Tu also has to be buried with him.
Zhang Biwu said this to remind Cai Tu that if he wants to kill him, he can't be killed without real evidence, when he saw Cai Tu scared, his body trembled, and he scolded in his heart: "Dog officer!" Greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
Cai Tu shouted: "Take Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun!" "Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun are the big clans of the Lu family and Lingbao County, and they are extremely influential in the local area, and Zhang Biwu is not surprised by their appearance.
Cai Tu said: "See? Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun sued you Zhang Biwu for fornicating with Gao Guiying, the wife of the thief! He also secretly released Gao Guiying's men and horses from Lushi and other places to Shangzhou, so as to enter the Shangluo Mountains to meet the thieves. Also, you are in the land of the three counties to ignore people's lives and occupy the land of good people, do you think you admit it! ”
Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun had the support of Cai Tu, and they couldn't help but say how bad Zhang Biwu was, and he had done everything that hurt heaven and reason, of course, these were all framed, because their interests were damaged, of course, they wanted to bring down Zhang Biwu.
There is also a point that Zhang Biwu did not collect taxes for the imperial court, and he did not collect taxes, which was a test for officials in Chongzhen's dynasty, and for this reason, there were many officials who were like wolves and tigers, only knowing how to collect and ignoring the life and death of the people. So now they are accusing Zhang Biwu with this point, which is also fatal for Zhang Biwu.
"Smack!" The birds, bows and arrows were all aimed at Zhang Biwu, and it seems that these soldiers also thought that Zhang Biwu deserved it and should be executed immediately!
Zhang Biwu's heart was very anxious: "Zhang Pan, why haven't you come for so long?" If you're late, I'll lose my life here! Based on the distance, you should be almost there! Why hasn't it come yet! ”
Although Zhang Biwu was anxious, he remained silent and said, "I don't know if these two good gentlemen have evidence to prove that they will act illegally?" If not, I would have punished you for the great crime of framing the court officials! ”
Zhang Biwu roared out from behind, startling Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun. Cai Tu glared at Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun unhappily, feeling that the two of them were really unproductive, but in fact, how good was he? Cai Tu didn't do it for a long time, he just wanted Zhang Biwu to admit his guilt, he couldn't bear the responsibility of killing the court officials!
So when a thousand Shaanxi soldiers heard Zhang Biwu's roar, they all looked at Cai Tu, Cai Tu didn't give an order, they just stared at Zhang Biwu, and didn't go up to kill Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu said again: "Do you say that you will not take the matter of collecting taxes from the imperial court to heart? No! It will be done with hard work! You'll know the way later! ”
Zhang Biwu thought in his heart: "I can't show my hole cards, otherwise, if Cai Tugou jumps over the wall and orders to kill me, it will be miserable!" Zhang Pan, hurry up! ”
Cai Tu sneered and said, "Zhang Biwu! Am I working hard to do it well? I'm talking about you, that's one side! Look at Jiao Yu and Geng Qijun, there are still many people who say that you have not completed the important task of paying taxes as assigned by the emperor! I told the audit officials that incompetence is all due to the payment of taxes! ”
Cai Tu pointed at Wu Zhirong and said, "Zhirong, throw the evidence to him!" Let him die well and understand! Wu Zhirong threw the fabricated evidence to Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu didn't bend over to get the evidence of the crime, because he knew that as long as he leaned over to get it, it would be to give Cai Tu a solid heart! It's better not to take it!
He sneered and said, "Why don't you read it out or show it to Ben General?" But I want Ben to lean over and pick it up! This general is also an official of the imperial court! Never! If you think that Ben will deserve it! Now you can kill Ben General! I know that the court will definitely give me justice! No matter what the person who killed me, he has to take the Nine Clans to accompany the burial! ”
Zhang Biwu glared at Cai Tu, he was gambling, Cai Tu didn't dare to kill him! Because he knows that Cai Tu is afraid of death! is much more afraid of death than him Zhang Biwu! In the current situation, only by fighting and fighting can it be possible to survive!
Zhang Biwu is right! If he is guilty, he should be killed! A thousand soldiers think so!
Cai Tu's face was jumping, he really wanted to be ruthless and order Zhang Biwu to be killed! And the guards were all looking at Cai Tu, waiting for Cai Tu's order. Cai Tu is a civil official, so he has too much hesitation, especially for fear that he will not be able to prove his guilt, so he has to accompany the funeral. Isn't there a saying? Xiucai rebelled for three years! Civil officials are like that, they are extremely incapable of action!
At this time, Zhang Pan was coming quickly towards Shaanzhou, he saw Zhong Yaofa, and knew that Zhang Biwu gave him the order, he was fast! If it's not happy, Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi will die.
Zhang Pan was still far away from Shaanzhou, he looked in the direction of Shaanzhou and thought, "Hurry! I really want to fly to Biwu with wings, Biwu, you can't have anything! ”
Zhong Yaofa is also full of worries, and he is also looking forward to hurrying up. The two horses galloped towards Shaanzhou, still slow, really slow......
Shaanzhou City. Zhang Biwu saw that the thousand soldiers who were facing him did not attack, he smiled and said, "Cai Zhizhou, since you think I am guilty, you will kill me immediately!" But if I didn't kill him immediately, I just thought I was innocent! You need to investigate, don't you? Cai Zhizhou? ”
Cai Tu smiled when he heard this, he really admired Zhang Biwu, he wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect that he could always make himself unable to kill.
However, Cai Tu thought about it, even if he couldn't kill Zhang Biwu immediately, as long as Zhang Biwu was imprisoned, when did he want to kill Zhang Biwu? I'm afraid it's a lot of long nights! In the midst of imprisonment and killing, Cai Tu is still hesitating!
After all, he imagined that when he put the human evidence, fabricated physical evidence, and Zhao Dayong in front of Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu would be afraid, and at that time, he could say that Zhang Biwu was weak-hearted, and he could immediately kill Zhang Biwu. I didn't expect Zhang Biwu to be so fearless, but aggressive, which made it difficult for Cai Tu.
Zhang Biwu said: "I have something to say, you said that you have the emperor's holy decree, but I don't know what the content of the holy decree is, you can read it to me!" ”
Cai Tu let people put out the emperor's holy decree, which is to appoint Cai Tu as the governor of Shaanxi, and Zhang Biwu is in the same boat, in line with the principle of civil management and martial arts, Cai Tu can restrain and control Zhang Biwu. It is this holy decree that makes Zhang Biwu can only be a subordinate in front of Cai Tu, and he can point fingers at what Zhang Biwu has done.
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he frowned, although he knew the results of the Dao, but his heart was still uncomfortable, and Chongzhen's distrust made Zhang Biwu lose confidence in Chongzhen.
At this time, Wu Zhirong came to Cai Tu, Wu Zhirong said a few words to Cai Tu, and Cai Tu nodded clearly. Zhang Biwu had an ominous premonition......
At this time, someone from the city gate came, it was Zhang Pan and Zhong Yaofa. Zhang Pan came all the way quickly, so when he arrived at the city of Shaanzhou, he was so tired that he was panting, and he couldn't breathe.
But even so, Zhang Pan knew that Zhang Biwu was in danger and had to race against time. He called out to open the door, but the people of the city could not hear him because he had not yet breathed enough.
Zhang Pan slapped his chest twice in a row, and his anger was much smoother, and he then opened his throat and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" I'm in a hurry! ”
The guards of the city had already received orders that no one should open the gates. The general flag shouted: "Lord Zhizhou has an order, no matter who it is, you can't open the city gate today!" Hugh is verbose, or he will be put to death! Then the guards shouted, "Yes! Never open the door! ”
As soon as the guards finished speaking, they immediately saw that the archers and bird gunners in the city were all in place, and they were about to shoot Zhang Pan and Zhong Yaofa. "What should I do?" Zhong Yaofa couldn't help but look at Zhang Pan, wondering how Lu Dao should get through this difficulty.
Zhang Pan was full of sadness, and he could also see that the other party did not close the door, but wanted to put Zhang Biwu inside to death, and if the time dragged on, Zhang Biwu and the others would die inside!
Yes! Zhang Biwu inside is in danger! Wu Zhirong came to Cai Tu and said a few words to Cai Tu, and Cai Tu then pretended to be very uncomfortable, he said, "Ah! The official is not well, and the matter of entertaining General Zhang will be handed over to the Tongzhi and the general judge! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left, and Wu Zhirong followed closely. Before leaving, Cai Tu looked directly at Zhang Biwu with a victor, villainous face, and laughed a few times, this face was extremely disgusting! Yes! Cai Tu is leaving, indicating that he is going to do it! As soon as he leaves, he can shirk responsibility! Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi are in danger!
