Chapter 992: The Sin of Treason
In the eyes of the bandits, if it weren't for the fact that they had listened to Zheng Chengdan's rhetoric, they would not have been so bold as to make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and even stabbed the nest of officials sent by the imperial court.
directly compensated all their brothers, the public.
It's a little more miserable than the so-called loss of the lady and the loss of the army.
Therefore, in today's situation, for Zheng Chengdan here, the bandits can naturally be said to have a common hatred.
So when Zhuang Mingyue brought it up, as long as he could help confront Zheng Chengshan in court at that time, he would be able to save his life, and now it seems that he will also protect him thoughtfully, he naturally will not hesitate too much.
At least judging from the current situation, compared with Zheng Chengdan's and other despicable villains who are untrustworthy, he naturally believes more in the two "ministers" in front of him in this situation where he is already cornered.
Even if the two people in front of him are clearly using him, at least after the other party says it openly, it will be far better than villains such as Zheng Chengdan.
And after all, he is at the end of his rope, and he really has no way to do it except believe in the two people in front of him.
After thinking about it clearly, the bandit didn't think much about what he didn't have, he just nodded heavily, and then said decisively: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you can guarantee my safety, when the matter is done, you are willing to let me go." ”
Naturally, it was not Zhuang Mingyue, who was like Zheng Chengdan, who directly kicked the other party away after using people, and nodded without the slightest hesitation when he heard the sound.
With a shallow smile on his lips, he nodded very decisively, "Naturally, since I have promised to spare your life and give you such a chance to make meritorious contributions, then naturally I will not be as untrustworthy as Zheng Chengdan." ”
After getting Zhuang Mingyue's words of assurance again, the look on the bandit's face suddenly improved a lot.
I saw that he exhaled silently, and the expression on his face also eased, even his body, which had been tense all along, was completely relaxed this time.
"The little one's name is Shi Quan, dare to ask what the two adults call them? What do you need to do in the future? As long as the two adults command, the little one will definitely do it! ”
Seeing the appearance of Shi Quan in front of him this time, Zhuang Mingyue fully believed in his heart that his identity was not very important, but he was able to get this extremely important document to sign a contract with Zheng Chengdan in this group of bandits.
I'm afraid it's really because he's the only literate person in this bandit's den.
Otherwise, with the usual style of ordinary bandits, how could he make such a posture of half a scholar, and just now he was eager to prove himself, so he pointed to Zheng Chengdan's name and the important points on the paperwork, and defended with them.
After completely dispelling this last bit of doubt, Zhuang Mingyue thought about it for a moment.
Then he raised his hand again, and took out the paperwork that she had put into her long sleeve and kept it again.
turned to Shi Quan in front of him again, "After all, this is the case now, if you want to come to this document with Zheng Chengdan, it is better for you to keep it personally, and when you need to confront it in court, it is more convincing for you to mention this matter." ”
Shi Quan naturally didn't expect that the documents that had been received by Zhuang Mingyue would be returned to his palm by the other party this time.
Even if he understood what Zhuang Mingyue said, it was indeed what he thought in his heart, but relatively speaking, in this case, the other party could directly send someone to imprison him, and when he needed to use him, it would be enough to take him out.
Now he handed this document into the palm of his hand, I am afraid that it is mostly so that he can let down his guard and not be overly worried.
After realizing this, Shi Quan couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his eyes when he looked at Zhuang Mingyue in front of him.
"Thank you for your kindness, the little one will definitely not disappoint the two adults." Slightly raised his hand to take the letter back from Zhuang Mingyue's hand to Shi Quan, and his words were even more obvious because of this.
But in fact, he himself is very clear in his heart, if it wasn't because of his luck this time, the people who bumped into him were Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, but he was caught by the people on Zheng Chengdan's side first.
Don't say that you can still atone for your sins, but I'm afraid that if it's his head, he will immediately fall to the ground, and there will be no place to bury him.
As a result, Shi Quan, who kicked the document into his arms and put it away, had a sense of treating it as a treasure.
Especially in this case, the document is equivalent to his opportunity to atone for his sins, and it is equivalent to his name, which is naturally the case.
Zhuang Mingyue here, after seeing Shi Quan take the paperwork in his hand, spoke again and answered the question he had just asked.
"My surname is Zhuang, this adult's surname is Yuan, after you go back, we will arrange another place for you to live, and we will also send someone to protect your safety, if there is any recall or new discovery, you can also drag them to come and tell the two of us."
In today's situation, Zhuang Mingyue did not have the evidence and opportunity to completely convict Zheng Chengdan.
Naturally, she would not expose any trace of the stone in front of her, so as not to let Zheng Chengdan's people notice it.
If they really let Zheng Chengdan's people attack this last bandit, and the most important bandit, then they want to expose Zheng Chengdan's road to convict him, and it will definitely become more difficult.
So in this situation, she took it for granted that she had to protect all the stones in front of her, and she couldn't make a single mistake.
Hearing Zhuang Mingyue say that he would send someone to protect Shi Quan, who was thorough for him, his face suddenly became happy, "Thank you Lord Yuan, Lord Zhuang!" ”
For Shi Quan, he finally managed to escape from the "hell" with all his might, and he definitely didn't want to go back to that place at all.
Therefore, in today's situation, compared with the powerful Zheng Chengdan, if he can get the protection of the court, he is willing not to complain about being used.
It was in this situation that he immediately saw Long Yuanxiu raise his hand lightly, and said lightly with a calm face, "Arrange a place for him to live, hide his original identity, and arrange a new identity in this city." ”
The secret guard who suddenly appeared from the shadows heard the voice and agreed, "Yes! Subordinates understand! ”
After saying such a sentence, he saw the dark guard walk directly in front of Shi Quan, staring at him intently but expressionlessly, "Follow me." ”
Although the person in front of him is now an extremely important witness for Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, after all, he is also a bandit who has burned, killed and looted, so it is naturally impossible for the secret guard to show him any good faces.
In this regard, Shi Quan, who knows what his identity is, naturally does not care too much.
Seeing the plainclothes secret guard, being able to flash in front of him so suddenly and silently is enough to prove how unfathomable the secret guard's kung fu is.
In the face of such an unfathomable secret guard in front of him, he also knew that his kung fu was just a triangular cat, and it was simply not enough to see.
So in this case, then I saw Shi Quan here, with a flattering smile on his face, "Alas, the little one understands." ”
After saying this, Shi Quan bowed to Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu in front of him again, "Thank you two adults for giving the little one a chance to atone for his sins, and the little one will definitely be a new person in the future." ”
Zhuang Mingyue didn't pay much attention to his words, but just nodded at him in response.
At least in her opinion, a person's character cannot be changed so easily, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, but in fact, he is just a confession under absolute authority.
Just like this Shi Quan in front of him, if it weren't because of the people he was facing, but because of them, with his bandit nature, when facing people who were weaker than him, he would just do his old job.
So in this case, there is nothing to care about Shi Quan's so-called "being a new person".
What's more, the most important thing now is to protect all this stone, as for the subsequent crimes, only need to let him wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and surround his life, and about the crime of burning, killing and looting that he did before.
What should be punished this time still needs to be punished, otherwise it will be in vain to let the people of Jiangnan who were robbed at the beginning be unfair.
After having this thought in his heart, he saw Shi Quan here, and under the leadership of the dark guard, he had already gone far.
Zhuang Mingyue, who came back to her senses, turned her eyes to look sideways at Long Yuanxiu beside her, "It seems that this time, we can follow Shi Quan's clue and continue to explore the matter of Zheng Chengdan's rebellion." ”
Although they have not yet grasped the real clue evidence about Zheng Chengdan's desire to rebel, which is enough to convict him and send him to prison, at least from the current situation.
As long as they have found such a point, it is certain that Zheng Chengdan has a rebellious mind and has already begun to carry out it secretly.
