Wang Zuo's head shocked everyone present. There were many children outside the hall. They wanted to come to see the excitement and see how the officials interrogated the officials. Unexpectedly, they saw blood splattered three feet. Many people I was so scared that I cried!
Killing a pig is not so bloody!
To avoid pig blood splattering everywhere, the pig must be hung upside down, bled from the neck, and then chopped off after the blood dries.
Han Qi didn't even move his eyelids. He killed many people in the Western Army, so this could only be a small scene!
Tian Zhenqiu and the officials in Weiyuan Tower did not expect that Han Qi would actually come and kill the imperial official in public. This was a fifth-grade official. He was the mainstay of the imperial court. All states in the world relied on officials like this to guard them. .
It's a pity that Wang Zuo is not a civil servant, otherwise Han Qi wouldn't have acted so decisively!
However, due to the ancestral system, these scholars will not be attacked under any circumstances. The generals will be unlucky. They will kill them at will without having to go through three trials!
The wooden basin next to the guillotine received a plate full of black blood. The smell of blood was nauseating. People with poor psychological quality had already hid aside and retched. It had been many years since there had been such an exciting scene.
Tian Zhenqiu's fingers were trembling. Han Qi would not do anything to him, but if this result continued, he was afraid that he would not get any good results! Han Qi won't use the knife on him, but he can use the pen. Where does his leadership responsibility go?
Wang Zuo is dead. All his black accounts recorded today are sent to Bianjing. The court will definitely ask him why he sent such a birdman to clear the source. Isn't this more cruel than those pirates?
Grandma, I need to find someone to take care of it again!
Han Qi continued to interrogate the case. He was not in a bad mood because of Wang Zuo, but became more courageous as he fought.
"Take Qingyuan Guard General Si Fangxing!"
Si's wife was overjoyed and finally wanted to release her husband! She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, for making the decision for civilian women!"
Han Qi was noncommittal, and when Si Fangxing came to see him, there was no glory in the past, only a sense of dejection. When he saw the blood stains in the courtroom, he knew that today was the last day. Looking at his wife who was full of joy, he felt sad in his heart. I sighed, you didn't even send me a meal or a meal so that I could eat well and go on the road!
"Lie to Kangxi"
Gao Chun looked at Si Fangxing, and then Han Qi called him up. .
Han Qi said calmly: "Are you the Supervisor of Quanzhou Prefecture, Si Fangxing?"
"That's right, your official!"
"Why go to jail?"
Si Fangxing's throat was a little clogged. If he told it, he might really be finished. He fought hard in his heart for a long time. Finally, he tilted his head and said to Si Fangxing's wife: "Why are you here today? Let's go home and wait." I!"
Si's wife burst into tears, covered her mouth, kowtowed to Han Qi again, and took the others home first.
She thought Han Qi was a good official, and she thought her husband was being framed. How could she know the stakes here?
After raising so many concubines, he thought they were all women who truly loved him, but he didn't expect that only this first wife would stand up for him when he died.
Si Fangxing raised his head and said: "Xiaoguan failed to keep the armaments well, so when the pirates attacked, the city was empty of armaments, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city suffered heavy losses!"
Han Qi said softly: "Gaochun, please submit the battle report on the deaths and losses in Quanzhou Prefecture this time!"
Gao Chun paused for a moment and glanced at Si Fangxing with a helpless look in his eyes. Then he could only hand Han Qi the statistics of this battle.
Han Qi knew that in every war, there would be military generals who made a fortune from the war, either by reselling military rations or smuggling ordnance. This was normal. Otherwise, these generals would have no income at all.
In fact, military generals need favors and favors more than civil servants. They are the direct leaders of the battlefield. To fight a war, they need various resources. As long as the superior officers riding on their heads block any supplies or power, they will be unable to fight. , on the battlefield you can only let others slaughter you.
Therefore, in history, military generals who have fought well in battles are either famous generals with great power and deep favor, or they are very clear-minded people. They can handle all aspects of relationships well, so that they can handle it at critical moments without being betrayed. Stuck in the neck.
Han Qi's face turned green after reading the battle report. Before the civil war, there was not even a single iron armor found in the Weiyuan Tower arsenal. There were only a few pieces of leather armor left, and most of them were useless equipment such as leggings. When the pirates came to attack, they were all Some of the soldiers went into battle in light armor, wearing their own clothes to fight the pirates, resulting in heavy losses!
Han Qi was extremely angry in his heart, but his face remained the same. This is not the first time he has seen such a scene, and I believe it will not be the last. He probably thought that there would never be a war in a place like Quanzhou Prefecture where mercantile culture flourished, so these military generals secretly sold their weapons.
But the mountain people's riots just happened a few years ago. How could they dare to commit crimes?
"Where have all these equipment and knives gone?"
Si Fangxing had been waiting for a topic to ask for a long time: "Let me give it to my subordinates...sold it!"
What!
Tian Zhenqiu finally caught the opportunity to move the trouble eastward. He stood up and pointed at Si Fangxing's nose and cursed: "Well, Si Fangxing, you took advantage of your position to embezzle military expenditures. The consequences were so bad that Quanzhou Prefecture almost suffered. You fell under the butcher's knife of pirates, you deserve death, Mr. Han, if you don't kill this beast, it won't be enough for the people to be angry!"
Han Qi was too lazy to talk to him. Although Si Fangxing deserves to die, it's not your turn to talk too much!
"Where have the Qingyuan Army's armaments been sold? Are they collaborating with bandits?"
Tian Zhenqiu is going to give Si Fangxing another slap!
The pirate is now the public enemy of the whole city. With this hat on, the people look at Si Fangxing with anger on their faces. If he really collaborates with the enemy, the people will not let him go!
Si Fangxing was so angry that he didn't care if he died anyway. He pointed at Tian Zhenqiu's nose and cursed: "Old man, how dare you spit shit with your mouth full!"
When Si Fangxing got angry, he started to fight with Tian Zhenqiu, and kept yelling and cursing: "You are a bitch, our Fang family has been loyal and dedicated to the country for generations, but in your mouth, we have become a sneaky villain. Look, With that face of yours, you set up troops to commit mischief in Quanzhou Prefecture, you should be put in jail and held accountable!"
Tian Zhenqiu really didn't know what he was trying to do today. First, Han Qi gave him a bad look. Even Si Fangxing dared to scold him in public. The dignified officers along the way were completely disgraced!
Tian Zhenqiu's hands were shaking like a child and she cried to Han Qi: "Xiangong Han, what are you waiting for? Just chop him!"
Han Qi asked calmly: "Si Fangxing, do you know what crime you committed? Who did you sell the equipment to? Are there any collaborators?"
Everyone felt a little strange. What kind of questioning method is this? Only by asking ghosts like this can they admit it?
Han Qi obviously felt that what Si Fangxing was doing was a bit strange. He checked the inventory records of the arsenal and found that the equipment in the inventory was quite complete last month. How could Si Fangxing be in such a hurry to get things out in just one month? All sold?
To take over so much equipment, there must be a huge team, or a privately raised army! What he fears most is that Si Fangxing will be involved with pirates!
When the government is extremely corrupt, internal officials will collude with external thieves. At that time, Si Fangxing will definitely not be the only one to be killed!
Si Fangxing was in a dilemma, he was determined not to expose Liang Chuan!
In the crowd, Liang Chuan had already seen Si Fangxing coming to interrogate him. Knowing his difficulties, he stood up and said, "Master Han, General Si sold his equipment to a villain!"
Liang Chuan! It's not a good thing to come out at this time, maybe it's not good. . The guillotine may fall on the head!
Gao Chun is anxious, Liang Chuan, what are you doing! But he didn't dare to talk nonsense. If he said the wrong thing, he might be doomed!
Si Fangxing didn't expect that Liang Chuan would get involved. He originally wanted to take care of everything by himself, but Liang Chuan unexpectedly. .
"Sanlang, what are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with you!" Si Fangxing said loudly.
Liang Chuan smiled and waved his hands and said, "Old Fang, I have already caused you enough suffering. This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Han Qi asked: "Liang Chuan, what are you doing with your weapons?"
Liang Chuan said: "The common man is a businessman, and merchants will naturally do what is profitable. The common man travels on the sea, and the sea has not been peaceful recently. The swords are controlled by the imperial court, and there is nowhere else to buy them. Naturally, they can only buy them from The government takes action."
"You mean you conspired with Si Fangxing to appropriate the equipment in the arsenal as your own?"
"Master Si has so many things to do, how can he have time to take care of such trivial matters? I just bribed the clerk who manages the warehouse and asked him to sell the things to me!"
"Where is the little official?"
"Died by pirates' swords!" This is all made up by Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan's identity may be exposed soon. He has the Queen Mother's military talisman in his hand. How can he commit any crime by buying some equipment? This matter can only be done privately. Tell Han Qi that outsiders must not know. If you can delay it for a while, then at least Si Fangxing can be saved!
"What a death without any symptoms!"
Si Fangxing was in trouble and couldn't tell, so it would be better if he was killed. At least Liang Chuan wouldn't treat his family badly, and now he himself would be involved. .
The two were immediately taken into custody. Han Qi picked up the battle report and continued to check it. The matter was more troublesome than he expected.
This battle may have been premeditated. Duan Peng has just arrived, and the responsibility may not fall on him by then. Moreover, he killed the enemy himself and was injured all over. The court may even reward him. Behind the scenes, Who is manipulating all this!
Si Fangxing didn't regret his death because he touched things that he shouldn't have touched. There were two other people who were also in trouble, namely Guo Can and Yang Lin.
The two men were local soldiers. Han Qi asked Tian Zhenqiu: "Has Fuzhou Prefecture issued a troop deployment order to Longhai County and Tong'an County?"
Tian Zhenqiu responded: "Never!"
Han Qi's heart sank again. Wang Zuo killed Shangguan, Si Fangxing smuggled arms, and Guo Can and Yang Liner mobilized troops privately. What was going on in Fujian's officialdom? Each one was more courageous than the other?
When Guo Can was brought up, his first words were: "Who died just now, Si Fangxing or Wang Zuo?"
Almost all the people present were older than him, but this kid had such a big mouth. At this time, he still didn’t know what to say and what not to say!
