Xianyang city has been very lively recently. 》八》八》Read》Book,.∞.o◎There are two protagonists, one is Wang Heng and the other is Huai Guzi.
Huaiguzi is far away in the north and has not returned yet, so he becomes the backdrop, while Wang Heng takes the opportunity to jump up and down. This concubine from a humble background has now become the protagonist in Xianyang City.
He captured many Huns and then began to interrogate them as to why they sneaked into Da Qin's territory.
These Huns answered honestly that the Huns had been destroyed. These old, weak, sick and disabled people were unable to survive. Fortunately, a kind man named Huai Guzi set up an employment agency and a marriage agency to help them come to Daqin and find a way out.
The Huns' answer was exactly the same as the previous rumors, but Wang Heng didn't believe it at all. He thought that the Huns were making excuses and deliberately deceiving him, so he ordered people to torture him severely.
After the torture, the Huns couldn't bear it anymore and retracted their confessions one after another.
It's a pity that their confessions were all made up on the fly, and their confessions were different from each other's, and they didn't match up at all.
Wang Heng was very angry and continued to torture him.
Finally, these Huns couldn't stand it anymore and begged: "Why on earth did we come to the Central Plains? Can you remind us?"
Wang Heng was a little speechless, thinking this was simply a joke.
However, some clerks were kind-hearted and gave them a little reminder. Only then did the Huns suddenly realize that they were going to falsely accuse and banish the immortal. You had told me earlier.
They are grateful to Huaiguzi. But... I'm almost tortured to death now, so let's put aside the things I'm grateful for. It would only take a few more days and a little more guilt.
Soon, Wang Heng got the confession he wanted.
This confession said that Li Xin was defeated, completely defeated, and retreated thousands of miles. He did not dare to return to the Qin Dynasty because he was worried about the emperor's punishment, so he was hiding in Tibet on the grassland and lingering.
As for the banished immortal, the banished immortal has been caught, and he has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, becoming a traitor to Qin. These documents that entered the Central Plains were made by the banished immortal for them by taking advantage of his position.
After Wang Heng obtained the confession, he immediately sent it to Ying Zheng's desk.
Ying Zheng passed the confession to the ministers for a look. The response from the ministers was extremely fierce.
Many people supported Wang Heng, cursed Huaiguzi, and suggested that Ying Zheng destroy the nine tribes of Huaiguzi.
Someone reminded me that Huaiguzi seemed to have no relatives or friends.
Others say, then destroy Shangjun’s other courtyard.
In short, these people planned to take advantage of Li Shui's absence to kill him and destroy his foundation. It would be best if he rebelled. Even if he didn't rebel, he wouldn't dare to come back.
Zhou Qingchen, with the Wu and Yue gang, argued tit for tat with the courtiers, insisting that Li Shui had not rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. 【≤八【≤八【≤Read【≤Book,.▽.o√
As for those Huns, what could they not say under torture? Let them admit that it is possible for the sun to rise from the south.
The Huns did have scars on their bodies, obviously signs of torture. Therefore, under Zhou Qingchen's arguments, Wang Heng's confession seemed less reliable.
It happened that at this time, a small official reported: "The people from the marriage agency have recruited people. They admitted that the banished immortal was captured and became a traitor to the Qin Dynasty. These Huns are spies sent by them. While inquiring about the news, they secretly accumulated strength. . Just wait until the time comes to overthrow our Great Qin."
When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression finally changed slightly.
The previous confessions of the Huns can also be interpreted as that they did not like Huaiguzi, so they framed him wantonly. But now the people at the marriage agency are direct descendants of Huaiguzi. If they even say this, they have to take it seriously.
Zhou Qingchen immediately asked the little official: "Have you ever used torture?"
The clerk shook his head and said, "They have already punished them all before the execution."
Zhou Qingchen's face turned pale and he reluctantly said to Ying Zheng: "I...I would like to see these people."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly. The clerk hurried out to take someone with him.
It would take quite a while to bring the prisoner from outside the palace to Ying Zheng's study. So the courtiers whispered to each other, whispered, and exchanged opinions.
Zhou Qingchen said tiredly to Wu Yue and others: "This Wang Heng is very insidious. He specially chooses to attack suddenly when the Immortal is not around. If we had the Immortal's sharp tongue, why would we do this?"
Everyone nodded and said with deep approval: "Yes, yes."
Zhou Qingchen asked again: "Do you have any countermeasures, sir?"
Wu Yue and others looked at me, and I looked at you, and said hesitantly: "Now the people from the marriage agency have been recruited. We feel that the matter is urgent. For the current plan, only strong men can cut off their wrists."
Zhou Qingchen was slightly stunned and said, "You want to choose someone to take the blame? Who should you choose?"
Wu Yue said with some embarrassment: "Now Wang Heng is just attacking the banished immortal. We might as well push the banished immortal out. We can just bear the responsibility for what he has done. And we stay out of the matter and can keep our official position and reputation, so why not Why not?"
When Zhou Qingchen heard this, he became furious. He looked at Wu Yue and others coldly: "In times of trouble, do you want to betray and banish the immortals?"
Wu Yue said a little aggrievedly: "Why betrayal? We are forced to be friends with the banished immortal..."
Zhou Qingchen looked at them with some mockery: "Were you forced? When the banished immortal gave you all kinds of benefits, why did you accept it readily? When the banished immortal was so proud, why did you follow behind to reap the benefits? Now, it has become Was it forced?"
Wu Yue sighed and said to Zhou Qingchen: "Everyone has his own ambitions. We are just small characters, there is no need to kill ourselves by throwing an egg at a stone. Brother Zhou, you flattered the immortal just for the sake of official position, and now it's almost the same. "
Zhou Qingchen laughed and said: "Yes, I flatter the banished immortal, but I don't do it for the official position. Rather, I think that the banished immortal has the ability to benefit all people in the world."
Wu Yue shook his sleeves: "That's all, we have different paths and we don't want to work together."
Then, he stood far away to show a clear line between him and Zhou Qingchen. There were still a small number of people who left with Wu Yue. Most of the remaining people actually stood with Zhou Qingchen.
Zhou Qingchen looked at them with a puzzled expression. Those people said: "Although Banished Immortal is a bit straightforward as a human being, it is sometimes hard to accept. However, I have to say that Banished Immortal is really good to his own people. This time, we should regard it as repaying our kindness."
Zhou Qingchen nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Wu Yue. Wu Yue turned his face and pretended not to see it.
At this time, the people from the marriage agency came. Their clothes are neat and have few wrinkles. All of them looked rosy and had indeed not been punished.
After Ying Zheng saw them, he personally asked: "Did you just sue Huaiguzi and accuse him of being a traitor to Qin?"
The person from the marriage agency bowed and said, "It's absolutely impossible. The banished immortal has a noble character and is devoted to your majesty and the people of the world. How can he be a traitor to Qin?"
With one word, the courtiers were in an uproar.
Wang Heng was even more furious. He stared at these people and said, "Didn't you confess just now? Why did you retract your confession on the spot?"
The few people laughed dryly and said, "Under torture, do you want any confession?"
Wang Heng said: "However, you were not beaten."
These people rolled their eyes and said confidently: "After the beating, don't we still have to confess? Let's tell it directly now without getting beaten, why not? Since you want to hear this kind of story, we have to make it up Some of them are here to deceive you, so that they can save themselves from the pain of flesh and blood."
Wang Heng said angrily: "Making up a story? Are you making up a story when you say that Huaiguzi committed a traitor to the Qin Dynasty? However, in addition to your confessions, those Huns also did it in the same way. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Those people lazily said: "What's so difficult about this? Several of your petty officials once captured some Huns. When he tortured these Huns, we heard clearly, so we naturally knew what you wanted. What is it?"
When the person from the marriage agency said this, he turned around and saluted Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, in prison, we told some lies in order to avoid the pain of our flesh and blood. Now that we have met Your Majesty, we know that our lives are guaranteed, so we Dare to tell the truth."
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What is the truth?"
The person from the marriage agency said: "The truth is that Ban Xian and General Li were overwhelming. They attacked and destroyed countless Xiongnu tribes along the way. A few dozen days ago, they even broke through the court of the Shanyu King, killing countless people."
"Touman Chan died, and the Hun nobles, big and small, fled in all directions. These people all carried knives and completely ignored the laws of war. Therefore, the banished immortal sent people to kill all these potential Hun soldiers."
"Some of the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people were sent to mines, some were given to poor people in the Central Plains as wives, and some were given to rich families as servants."
"In this way, these Huns will have enough food and clothing to prevent them from freezing and starving to death on the grasslands. And we, Da Qin, will have more labor out of thin air, and the people's lives will become easier."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Is what you said true?"
These people all said at once: "It's true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you will find out when you ask the banished immortal when he comes back."
Ying Zheng nodded and said to the ministers: "It seems that we will have to wait until Huai Guzi comes back to see the outcome."
"These Huns, as well as Huaiguzi's guys, should be imprisoned for the time being. However, they are only imprisoned, and they must not be tortured. I will send people to patrol, and if you use lynching, I will not be lenient."
Wang Heng agreed and ordered the officials to take all these people down.
Ying Zheng waved his hand a little tiredly: "Everyone, please step aside."
So the ministers resigned.
…………
Zhao Teng was sitting on the carriage and was about to go home. He felt that the day had been fulfilling.
Wang Heng kept looking for trouble with Huaiguzi, but Huaiguzi was not in Xianyang. Zhou Qingchen and others were helpless and could not resist for much longer.
Alas, this drama is getting better and better. Huaiguzi is gone, and there is one less stirring stick in the court, so he can live a peaceful life for a few days.
But then, Zhao Teng felt a little uncomfortable again. If Huaiguzi really left Xianyang, then life would seem a bit boring.
Just as he was thinking of this, Zhao Teng suddenly heard a dozen voices outside the carriage shouting: "This is the carriage of Nei Shi Zhao Teng."
Zhao Teng thought he had met an assassin and was startled. He reached out and picked up the sword next to him.
Immediately afterwards, those voices shouted again: "Don't be afraid, everyone, Zhao Teng is the best friend of the Banished Immortal. He will definitely help us, help the Banished Immortal. Stop him and say whatever you need to say."
Zhao Teng almost committed suicide after hearing this: This is a rumor, who is the best friend of Huaiguzi? 11 Go to Baidu to read the latest chapters of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
