"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated?"
Listening to Tao Qing's struggle before his death, Liu Deng smiled disdainfully.
"Although I deserve to die, I will naturally be dealt with by the court's laws. If you humiliate me like this, aren't you afraid that the scholars in the world will be disappointed?"
Tao Qing had learned a lot about Liu Deng's methods, and these two items alone had hit his target.
If Liu Deng were to ask him to publish a biography of a traitorous minister, I am afraid that from now on, the descendants of the Tao family would no longer have to be human beings...
"It's just you? You dare to say that you are a scholar after reading a few books? Who do you think you are? Do you have any of the compassion and kindness of scholars? For your own selfish desires, you put everything aside. Regardless of the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in this city, what kind of scholar are you? Which book taught you to be so wolf-hearted, and which gentleman taught you to behave like a wolf!"
"You are so ambitious, unfaithful to the king, unfilial to your parents, unkind to the people, and unjust to the soldiers who follow you. You are such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person. How can you call yourself a scholar?"
"puff--"
Listening to Liu Deng's series of heart-wrenching words, Tao Qing finally couldn't bear it any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes darkened, and he fainted.
After what happened today, he was completely ruined...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Tao Qing's matter had just been settled when a man covered in blood walked over with someone helping him.
After seeing the man's face clearly, the corners of Wu Guoxiang's mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty! The general deserves to die. You gave me the task of guarding Changpingcang, but he failed in his duty. Please punish me!"
At this moment, He Junan was covered in blood, and the wounds on his body had burst again due to excessive excitement. Blood dripped down his legs and fell to the ground.
Almost every step he took would leave a footprint full of blood on the spot.
"This matter is not your fault. Go down and treat your injuries. After you heal your injuries, I will have other things for you to do!"
Regarding He Junan, Liu Deng could only give gentle words of encouragement.
This matter really has nothing to do with him, as is the military law of the Han Dynasty.
The position of lieutenant is really crucial. In wartime conditions, with Li Guang in charge, the position of lieutenant will become dispensable.
But in peacetime, Liu Deng was not in Jinyang City, and the troop deployment document from the Lieutenant's Mansion was the highest military order.
Who would have thought that Wu Guoxiang would join Tao Qing at this time?
"Your Majesty..."
Hearing Liu Deng personally admit that this matter had nothing to do with him, He Junan, a tough man, cried like a baby in confinement.
"Okay, you go down to rest first and recover well. We have big things to do in the coming year!"
Ye Yijian did not expect that He Junan's injury would be as serious as it was now. After winking, someone immediately stepped forward to help He Junan and walked towards the mansion.
Although this is just a foothold for the secret guards, there are indeed several good golden sore doctors.
"Lieutenant, don't you have anything to say to me?"
When looking at Wu Guoxiang, Liu Deng's eyes were a little complicated.
This guy can be regarded as an old minister who follows him. Liu Deng really can't understand why he has reached this point.
In terms of money, just from his shares in the company, he can definitely get more than 10,000 yuan in dividends every year.
Coupled with his salary, no matter how hard it is for the couple to have hundreds of children, they can definitely live a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing.
In terms of power, with his current position, he can be said to be firmly the third-ranking figure in the country.
The most important minister of the country is talking about him, as long as he can stay in this position for a few more years.
A few years later, it was reasonable for him to be transferred to the central government to hold an important position.
Liu Deng really couldn't figure out what this guy was for?
"Big, big king..."
Wu Guoxiang was trembling, but he could not utter a complete sentence.
"Since you won't tell me, then I'll ask you! Let me ask you, was it you who led the people to burn Chang Pingcang?"
Liu Deng looked gloomy and looked at Wu Guoxiang coldly.
For a lieutenant of a country to actually do such a thing, this is really a huge scandal.
"The king is wronged. This is all Tao Qing's doing. This is all Tao Qing's doing!"
Wu Guoxiang understood the truth, but when death was imminent, the fear of death still made him unable to help but feel lucky.
"Are you saying that this king is wrongly accusing you and this matter has nothing to do with you?"
The murderous intent in Liu Deng's eyes increased...
"That's right, he did it all, he did it all, he did it all! Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
Wu Guoxiang immediately knelt on the ground, pleading regardless of the armor he was wearing.
"Then tell me, what happened to the troop dispatching document? How did Tao Qing's men get into the heavily guarded Changpingcang? Could it be that they flew in?"
When Liu Deng said this, he gritted his teeth for a while.
"Your Majesty, I'm just following orders, I'm just following orders!"
At this time, Wu Guoxiang was still quibbling!
"Bring me here!"
Liu Deng was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly to Yiye Yijian coldly.
"promise!"
Ye Yijian didn't talk nonsense. After responding, he winked at the person behind him.
Not long after, a group of tied-up strong men were dragged out with chains.
"Lieutenant, help me, Lieutenant, help me!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
Liu Deng shouted loudly. Looking at these ruthless people, he really wanted to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.
"You're not going to tell me that you don't know these people, are you?"
Liu Deng's eyes were full of murderous intent. These people had personally admitted that they followed Wu Guoxiang's process of entering Changpingcang and burning Changpingcang.
According to their explanation, Ye Yijian's people have been found. When they received the tickets for the sulfur, a large amount of reward money was also found from their home.
With all of this before his eyes, there was no room for Wu Guoxiang to deny it.
"Big, big, big king..."
The corners of Wu Guoxiang's mouth were twitching continuously, and his whole body was shaking badly.
"Let me punish these rebellious officials and traitors on the spot!"
Liu Deng's eyes were fixed on Wu Guoxiang, and he pointed with his right hand at the guys kneeling aside.
In the darkness, a group of soldiers from the Shenwu Army rushed out immediately.
"puff--"
…
After a series of muffled sounds, the murderers who burned Chang Pingcang were all beheaded on the spot.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger...
