After all, Wang Jian was old. Faced with Zou Gou's sudden attack, he was completely defenseless and was beaten back repeatedly. Read 5v books,.●.●o
However, he was always a military commander and quickly came to his senses.
He suddenly shouted loudly: "Even if I am guilty, I am not something a rat like you can bully."
Wang Jian was in a sad and angry mood and roared so loudly that it made Zou Gou's ears buzz. Suddenly, Wang Jian reached out his hand again and slapped Zou Gou hard on the face.
A hand as big as a cattail leaf fan actually knocked Zou Gou to the ground.
Zou Gou got up in embarrassment, half of his face was swollen. He grinned and took a breath of cold air. He suddenly put his hand over his mouth and took out a tooth from inside.
The courtiers all looked at Wang Jian with admiration.
They admired it in their hearts, but did not dare to say it out loud. But Li Shui had no such scruples. He said with admiration: "General Wang, you are really getting stronger with age."
Wang Jian sneered.
Ying Zheng glanced at Zou Gou with some disgust and said calmly: "Take him out."
Two guards came over and dragged Zou Gou away. Zou Gou was completely embarrassed today, but the courtiers couldn't care less about him. After all, Wang Jian's incident was disturbing enough.
After the hall became quiet, Ying Zheng looked at him calmly: "Wang Jian, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Jian sighed: "Old minister, I just want a whole corpse."
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Take him down and keep him under guard. Tingwei Li Si will be responsible for presiding over the crime discussion."
Li Si responded.
Wang Jian was taken down with a look of despair.
Just now he asked for a whole body to be kept, but the emperor ignored this suggestion. The subtext is that it is probably impossible to keep the whole body.
Ying Zheng sat back and said calmly: "Today the Chu land is peaceful, all the ministers will have a banquet to celebrate. Don't let some trivial matters disturb your mood. Continue."
The ministers responded.
A young eunuch came up, took Song Liu and Song E down, and placed them outside for the time being.
The courtiers present were no longer in the mood to have a feast. Everyone was thinking wildly in their hearts: The Wang family is going to fall. Not only will it fall, but it will also be uprooted. Will this implicate themselves?
Every courtier knew in his heart that Wang Jian would definitely die this time. But there are different ways to die.
It would be best if the emperor gave Bai Ling the gift of hanging, or poisoning him with poisonous wine. Being able to preserve the whole body is a blessing.
The next step is decapitation, which is less painful, but the head is in a different place, the flesh and blood are blurred, and the death is very undignified.
After that, he was tortured for five times and his limbs were mutilated before he died. It was simply cruel.
Then there is the Yi tribe. It doesn't matter if he dies, but all his tribe members are implicated. God knows how those tribesmen will curse this scourge when they are dying. Dying is pitiful enough, but to die amidst the scolding of your loved ones is simply the most pitiful of pitiful things.
The most terrifying thing is that the crime committed is so great that all close friends, disciples and former officials will be implicated...
Many courtiers are thinking about whether Wang Jian's sin is particularly serious. The more they thought about it, the more they felt cold. Is there anything worse than treason? The key is that Wang Jian played His Majesty around. In the name of suppressing thieves, he defrauded His Majesty of money and food, and then divided the spoils with the rebel thieves.
This is simply an insult to the emperor. This time, Wang Jian may die ugly.
The courtiers who were related to Wang Jian were very desperate and felt that they might not be able to escape this time.
Throughout the civil and military dynasties, most people were absent-minded, but there were some who really focused on the feast and enjoyed eating and drinking. For example, Li Shui, Li Xin, Li Ji, Liu Wei...
Some courtiers suddenly remembered some rumors in Xianyang City: as long as they follow the banished immortal, everything will be smooth sailing.
Now it seems that this rumor is not false.
Those courtiers all sighed heavily: Do we have to be shameless and follow this shameless person? How decent is that?
…………
Wang Jian was led by two Qin soldiers and escorted to the prison. After entering, a jailer opened a copper box.
Wang Jian looked at the box and found that it was exactly the same as the one where Xiang Liang was imprisoned. "Eight"Eight"Read "Book,.2■⊥
Wang Jian gave a bitter smile and said to the jailer: "Don't worry, I will never commit suicide."
The jailer smiled: "In this case, the villain believes the general. But general, don't break your word. If you die here, the villain will be blamed by the higher ups."
Wang Jian glared: "I have been fighting for half my life and killing people without any calculation. How can I lie to you, a little jailer?"
The jailer apologized profusely and then politely invited Wang Jian into a cell.
The jailer was very polite, but the environment in the cell was really unflattering.
The soldier said with an apologetic look: "General, the straw inside is newly replaced by the villain. However... it is still a lot worse than the general's mansion."
Wang Jian said calmly: "Compared to the horse-leather shroud, it's already much better. At least there are a few walls and a roof here."
The jailer gave a thumbs up and praised: "The general is open-minded, and the villain admires him endlessly."
Wang Jian sat down on the straw. Suddenly he turned his head and discovered that there was another person in the dark cell. The man was locked in a copper box, with only his arms, legs and head exposed.
Wang Jian took a closer look and found that the man was Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang smiled at Wang Jian and said with a complicated expression: "Old General Wang, are you okay?"
Wang Jian laughed and stood in front of Xiang Liang with his arms folded.
He suddenly patted the wall and shouted to the jailer outside: "Come here, come here."
The jailer immediately ran over diligently, nodded and bowed and said, "May I ask General Wang, what are your orders?"
Wang Jian pointed to the copper box: "Open it for him."
The jailer was stunned and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "General Wang is highly respected and the villain should not refuse. But this box is open. If the rebel dies, the villain will probably be killed too."
Wang Jian said calmly: "Go and tell Huaiguzi that it is Wang Jian's idea. Xiang Liang has already confessed everything, so Huaiguzi must not be afraid that he will commit suicide."
The jailer thought for a while and said politely: "General, wait a moment."
Then he ran away in a hurry.
Xiang Liang sighed with emotion: "Old General Wang, he is really majestic. Even if he lives in a place like this, the jailer still has to nod and bow."
Wang Jian sneered: "It's all just superficial. If I ask him to let me out or give me a bowl of wine, he will definitely refuse."
"He gets no benefit from shouting at me. He gets no harm from being polite to me. What if I can get out? This jailer is a smart man."
Xiang Liang smiled disapprovingly.
Wang Jian also smiled: "Yes, he is not smart enough. A truly smart person understands in his heart that I can't get out."
After saying this, Wang Jian seemed a little tired, so he sat on the pile of straw to rest.
When he first arrived, he sat very reservedly, trying not to stain his clothes. But now, he seemed to have opened his eyes to something. He was lying on the bundle of straw, feeling comfortable as he pleased.
Not long after, the jailer came back in a hurry.
He bowed to Wang Jian first, and then said with a smile: "Old General Wang is indeed highly virtuous and highly respected. I just went to Shang Jun's Courtyard. The banished immortal said that since it was Old General Wang who gave the order, how dare he disobey it?" If Xiang Liang is released, he will be released. If Xiang Liang really commits suicide, the banished immortal alone will bear the responsibility."
Wang Jian sneered: "When I was outside, Huaiguzi was not so polite."
The jailer took the key and opened the copper box.
Xiang Liang had been locked in the box for so long that he was almost suffocated. Now he broke free and quickly stood up to move his hands and feet. The jailer quickly exited the cell and locked the door.
Xiang Liang saluted Wang Jian and said with great emotion: "Thank you, General Wang."
Wang Jian suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xiang Liang on the face.
Xiang Liang had been locked up for too long, and his hands and feet were a bit inoperable, and he stumbled to the ground.
Wang Jian stepped on his leg again and cursed: "I have been fighting all my life, but I didn't expect that I would end up falling for a fool like you. I am really as stupid as a pig."
Wang Jian really regrets it now. If he had known that Xiang Liang was so stupid, he should not have cooperated with him. In the end, we still followed Zhao Gao's old path.
Xiang Liang was beaten several times by Wang Jian, and he became increasingly angry.
He didn't fight back at first because he felt guilty. After all, he had not endured the physical pain and recruited Wang Jian.
But Wang Jian only beat him, and he even cursed. Xiang Liang became more and more angry.
He pushed Wang Jian fiercely, then jumped up from the ground, pointed at Wang Jian and shouted loudly: "Old man, are you worthy of scolding me?"
Wang Jian sneered and rushed over to slap Xiang Liang. But Xiang Liang was already on guard and reached out to grab Wang Jian's hair. Soon, Wang Jian's white hair fell down and he was in a miserable state.
The two men started fighting while standing, and then fell to the ground. They rolled around in the dirt and clawed at each other's faces with their nails.
They were all really fired up, and they couldn't care less about being polite. Not only that, while they were fighting, they were still yelling and swearing, and there were countless dirty words.
The jailer shook his head repeatedly: Isn't this a fight between women?
He sighed, and then continued to shake the handle slowly. While shaking, he wondered: This banished immortal is really interesting, why are they recording their voices? Haven't their charges been determined long ago?
At this time, the prisoners in the cell next to him were all looking over here.
Suddenly a prisoner said: "Old General Wang, it seems that he is at a disadvantage."
Another prisoner said: "Well, General Wang, he is old after all."
Another prisoner said to the jailer: "It is better to lock us together with General Wang, so that we can take care of each other."
The jailer thought for a while and told the prisoners: "Be careful with your actions and don't break anyone."
The prisoners nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry."
Later, the jailer let them into Wang Jian's cell.
After these three people entered, they said lively: "General Wang, we are all Qin people, and we are here to help you."
Then, these people swarmed up and punched and kicked Xiang Liang.
It's a pity that these prisoners have been locked up for too long. They are malnourished and their hands and feet are weak. Although it has had some effect, it has not completely defeated Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang was in his prime, and he had been marching and fighting for a long time, so his physical fitness was very good.
After a quarter of an hour of stalemate, Xiang Liang actually knocked Wang Jian and the three prisoners to the ground.
Wang Jian got up panting and said to the three prisoners: "Listen to my command. You two, attack their left and right wings, you cut off their retreat, and I will face the enemy head on."
In an instant, Wang Jian regained his majesty on the battlefield.
He raised his hand as if holding a sword and shouted: "Son of the Qin family, follow me to destroy the rebels."
Then, four people swarmed up.
Xiang Liang suddenly felt the pressure, and his two fists were unable to defeat the four hands. In a moment, he was hit with several punches and kicks.
The jailer shook his head and thought: If General Wang had such murderous intent on the battlefield, why would he be living here today?
While he was thinking, he took off the bamboo tube, replaced it with a new one, and started recording seriously again.
In the end, Xiang Liang was knocked to the ground with the combined efforts of the four people.
The jailer saw Xiang Liang being beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Having no power to fight back, he quickly walked in and put Xiang Liang into a separate cell.
After entering the single room, Xiang Liang suddenly became lively and yelled at Wang Jian endlessly.
The three prisoners next to Wang Jian were also very arrogant and kept provoking Xiang Liang.
Unfortunately, the two sides were separated by a railing, so neither could hit the other.
The jailer recorded the sound on all the bamboo tubes, then hugged them with a smile and ran towards the Exorcist Tower.
…………
Inside the Banished Immortal Tower, in the innermost private room, a group of courtiers were discussing important matters.
The leader was Zou Gou, who made a big ugly appearance in the court today.
Zou Gou said to everyone: "You are all somewhat involved with General Wang. Now that General Wang is unfortunately imprisoned, it must be difficult for you to escape. Therefore... we must find a way to save ourselves."
The courtiers all laughed: "How to save yourself? Are you going to slap Wang Jian like Mr. Zou?"
Since Zou Gou made a big mistake today, these courtiers originally didn't want to talk to Zou Gou anymore. But Zou Gou was very generous today and took the initiative to spend money to invite the ministers to drink.
The ministers thought that it would be free to eat and drink anyway, and if they didn't go, they would be free, so they came. But when they came back, they didn't give Zou Gou any good face.
Zou Gou wasn't angry either. He sighed and said, "But I was so excited that I lost my mind. Wang Jian and I have been friends for many years, and he actually committed such a heinous crime behind my back. I can't help but Are you angry?"
"After thinking about it, I regretted it a lot. Maybe I should have given you advice instead of beating people."
Gou Zou sighed with emotion and said to everyone: "My lords, it's different. You should seize the opportunity to write to His Majesty and plead for mercy from General Wang."
Many people were furious.
Someone jumped up at the crime and said to Zou Gou: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to harm us?"
Gou Zou said aggrievedly: "How dare I harm others?"
Someone sneered: "Wang Jian is guilty of treason. If you plead for him at this time, isn't that asking for death?"
Zou Gou said in a low voice: "You are either recommended by Wang Jian, or you have had close contacts with Wang Jian, or you have recently visited the Wang family. For example, Mr. Ma, your son committed a crime in the past, did you ask Wang Jian to smoothen the relationship? For example, Mr. Liu, in the past, did you give gold and silver to the Wang family in order to seek an official position? For example, Mr. Li..."
Zou Gou called out the names of all the people present.
These courtiers all looked unhappy: "Master Zou, what do you mean?"
Zou Gou said: "I mean, I can find out these things, but your majesty can't? Wang Jian's crime is a serious crime of treason, and your majesty is extremely angry. Maybe it will implicate you all."
"Why don't you all write a letter to plead for Wang Jian? It's not that you please spare Wang Jian's life. It's that you leave him a whole body. If Wang Jian can keep his whole body, who cares about your little mistakes?"
The courtiers nodded slightly, feeling that Zou Gou's words actually made sense.
Someone asked: "However, His Majesty is angry. Wouldn't he add fuel to the fire by interceding with Wang Jian at this time?"
Zou Gou sighed: "There are tips for begging for mercy. When you are writing a memorial, you might as well scold Wang Jian until he is bloody, and let His Majesty breathe a big sigh of relief. Then you can write a pen. Turn around and say that although Wang Jian's death was not a pity, he had done great service for His Majesty after all. If Your Majesty killed him, the people of the world would probably think that Your Majesty was unkind. It would be better to hang him. Anyway, it is a capital crime. Why bother to fight for this breath and make the world What are people talking about?"
"In this way, you are begging for mercy from His Majesty's point of view. His Majesty not only does not find you disgusted, but feels that you are loyal and truly loyal ministers."
The ministers thought for a while: "It seems that this is really the case."
So they nodded repeatedly.
Zou Gou sighed and said: "Then, gentlemen, let's write down the manuscript here. I'll go home first. I've already scolded Wang Jian in the court, so it would be too fake to plead with him again. It's a pity that this matter I can’t participate, so I can only rely on you.”
Zou Gou left. The courtiers drank and chatted. Suddenly someone said: "Oh, Zou Gou is so calculated. If our plea fails, what harm will he do? Anyway, he has already declared to everyone that he has drawn a clear line with Wang Jian."
"If our plea succeeds, Zou Gou can also get some benefits. This person is really cunning."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, although Zou Gou was cunning, his method made sense after all, so the courtiers did not pay too much attention.
When they were about to go home after eating and drinking, the waiter stopped them and asked them to pay.
Only then did the courtiers realize that Zou Gou didn't even give him any money.
Everyone yelled. Some mature and prudent people thought sadly: It seems that the atmosphere in Xianyang City has really begun to become shameless. All of this started from 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.
