Huan Xuan's eyelids twitched. He turned around and saw a big man with red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows and long beard standing in front of him. If this man's face wasn't dark, he would really be suspicious. Did Guan Gong travel to this era, but Huan Xuan still coughed dryly: "Hu Junxiao, I have told you a long time ago that what you killed was just a substitute of Fu Pi, not him himself, but even so , when I discuss your merits afterwards, I will give you the credit for killing the enemy general. Please don’t talk nonsense in front of the Governor Wang today."
This man was Hu Fan, a famous general from Jingzhou who was known as a marksman for generations. When Liu Yu came to the Central Plains, he also met this man. He looked at Huan Xuan and said sternly: "Prince Huan, your father The third article of our Jingzhou military regulations that was established when we were still alive is that you cannot take military honors or record from others on the battlefield, but how did you do it? You have been commanding from behind during this battle and did not charge into the battle at all. How could you behead Pi's head? I know the person I killed. It was obviously this person, how could he be a substitute? Even the missing ear on this head was shot off by me with one arrow. , he was defeated in pain, how could it be someone else?!"
Wang Chen took a look, and sure enough, the left ear of this head was incomplete, as if it had been torn to pieces rather than cut off by a sharp sword. Although Wang Chen was not trained in warfare, he had received some martial arts training since he was a child. It was obvious at a glance that, as Hu Fan said, his ear was shot off by an arrow.
Wang Chen nodded: "Whether it is the military law of Jingzhou or the military code of the Jin Dynasty, it is a violation of military discipline to seize military honors. Prince Huan, how do you call this strong man?"
Hu Fan rushed to say: "The last general is the deputy general of Lu Zong, Emperor Taizong of Nanyang. He is the commander of the base army. Hu Fan is also the leader."
Wang Chen laughed: "It turns out that it is Hu Fan, who is known as the magic archer. When your father was still alive, he had some contacts with me. I never thought that the son of the censor, who was in charge of books, could be such a fierce general. Now the country needs you like this. The warriors will explore all directions, so don’t let the court down."
Hu Fan nodded vigorously: "I have to serve my country, but my contribution and hard work must be recognized. Otherwise, it will only make the soldiers feel cold."
Wang Chen looked at Huan Xuan: "Prince Huan, do you have some misunderstandings with Commander Hu? It's best to resolve them without leaving any grudges. In the future, the court will need you to work together to create a great cause."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "When Fu Pi was killed, many people were present. There were thousands of troops on the battlefield, and it was chaos. Fu Pi would not keep the flag with him when he fled for his life. The one Hu Jun was chasing was It is reasonable that Fu Pi's substitute did not see me killing Fu Pi himself. However, Fu Pi's guard chief Yang Qiu was captured by me on the spot. With his testimony, everything will naturally come to light. "
He said and made a gesture. A tall prisoner with heavy chains on his hands and feet was picked up from the crowd by two guards and pushed heavily to the ground. He immediately threw himself next to Fu Pi's head. , burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's my fault that I didn't protect you well enough!"
Hu Fan laughed: "I caught Yang Qiu with my own hands. Huan Xuan, you need to find someone to witness this yourself. Don't regret it."
Wang Chen nodded and said to Yang Qiu, "Can you understand Chinese?"
Yang Qiu wiped away his tears, stood up, and replied in Chinese: "I can understand and speak it. You Jin people have always claimed to be benevolent and righteous. Now that His Majesty has passed away and we are also captured, please let us go." On the one hand, let us go, and at least don’t embarrass those innocent women and children.”
Wang Chen said coldly: "It depends on whether you are telling the truth. I am the governor of Jingzhou. You are not qualified to talk to me directly. Who is responsible for questioning?"
Yin Zhongwen suddenly emerged from the crowd, cupped his hands towards Wang Chen and said: "Prince Wang, I am here to report to Jingzhou. It is your job to investigate the case and judge the prison sentence. Since you have this order, then I will do it." Ask this Yang Qiu."
Wang Chen smiled slightly: "It turns out to be Yin Biejia. Your name is well known all over the world. It's best for you to ask. Let's get started."
Yin Zhongwen walked up to Yang Qiu in a swaggering manner: "Yang Qiu, who are you, what is your position in the puppet Qin, and where were you on the battlefield at that time?"
Yang Qiu said in a deep voice: "My name is Yang Qiu. I am from Qiuchi. I have been greatly favored by the King of Qin for generations. Your Majesty, oh, no, it should be the late emperor. Since the late emperor came to the throne, I have always been his guard captain. On this battlefield Above all, I have always been guarding him. When he died in battle, I was by his side. If he hadn't been hit by an arrow and unable to move, I would have used my life to defend him."
Speaking of this, he thought of sad things and burst into tears again.
Yin Zhongwen touched the mustache on his lips and said, "Do you know the two people standing in front of you now?"
Yang Qiu nodded: "Of course I recognize him. I saw him on the battlefield."
Yin Zhongwen walked up to Hu Fan with a smile, swung his hand down, pointed at Hu Fan's waist, and said carelessly: "This is Hu Mingfan, a person from Yuzhang. His grandfather and father were in our Jin Dynasty. Although he was an official, he was not too old. As for him, his parents died when he was young and he was powerless. After joining the army, he relied on some military exploits to reach the position of military leader. He was in charge of more than a thousand people. He could be considered a middle-level officer. , should be equivalent to your status." His tone was full of disdain, as if he was introducing a slave.
Hu Fan glared at Yin Zhongwen: "Yin Biejia, what do you mean?"
Yin Zhongwen smiled slightly: "Master Hu, we have to identify everyone first according to the regulations. If the case is decided in court, don't we also have to introduce the plaintiff and defendant first."
Hu Fan glared at Yin Zhongwen bitterly, but had nothing to say. Yin Zhongwen walked to Huan Xuan's side, raised his hand high, and his tone became respectful and admiring: "And this is our great master. A famous official of the Jin Dynasty, he was the eldest son of Duke Huan Wen of Nanjun. He was called Huan Xuan. You should have heard of Duke Huan. He made three expeditions to the north of the Central Plains and made unparalleled achievements. He guarded Jingzhou for the Jin Dynasty for many years. His disciples and former officials were all over the world, and he received incomparable praise. Respect, and this Prince Huan is the crown prince he designated during his lifetime. We, the old people of Jingzhou, must respect Prince Huan as much as we respect him in the future. Prince Huan is young and promising. This time, he is the one who intercepted Fu Pi. I personally led the army to fight the battle. Now, you are all prisoners. Whether you live or die depends on the words of our high-ranking nobles in the Jin Dynasty. Okay, Captain Yang Wei, answer me honestly now. You were on the battlefield at that time. Come on, who killed Fu Pi and captured you?!"
Yang Qiu closed his eyes and said painfully: "The one who killed the late emperor and captured me was Prince Huan!"
