After Peng Xianzuo said this, no one dared to move. "Are you asking me to do it myself? Press down!"
"Yes!" The two members of the law enforcement team had no choice but to pick up General Jia from the ground and drag him out.
General Jia burst into tears at this time. He struggled to free himself from the hands of the two men, "You don't need you, Lao Jia, I will leave on my own!"
General Jia looked back at his brothers who had fought with him for many years. Almost all of these people were much younger than him, and some of them were taught how to march and fight by him. Finally, General Jia looked at Peng Xianzuo. He clasped his fist to Peng Xianzuo and said, "Marshal, Old Jia can't accompany you anymore. He has violated the law and has nothing to say. I hope brothers will take care of themselves in the future. Old Jia will leave first." Got it!"
After saying that, he left the tent without looking back.
When the other generals saw him, things were inevitable.
"Commander, do you really miss the old relationship so much?"
"Commander! Marshal!"
Peng Xianzuo didn't intend to listen anymore, so he stood up and walked out of the tent. Du Jie didn't expect that something like this would happen after only being here for a long time. Grandpa Jia had watched him grow up since he was a child. If Peng Xianzuo really wanted to kill Jia Cijun, he would not care about anything and would leave with Jia Cijun.
The execution ground was set up in less than half an hour. The people in the camp were gathered together. Peng Xianzuo poured a bowl of wine himself: "Old general, what else do you want to say? I'll tell your family for you."
General Jia shook his head: "No more."
Peng Xianzuo handed the wine in his hand to Jia Qijun: "Drink this bowl of wine, it will be easier on the road!"
General Jia had tears in his eyes at this time. He picked up the wine, saluted everyone around him, and then drank it in front of Peng Xianzuo.
"Haha! Good wine! Come on!"
After finishing his drink, General Jia threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, raised his head, and then closed his eyes.
Du Jie looked at General Jia. At this time, he was not sure whether what Peng Xianzuo did was right or wrong. General Jia had to kill him. If he didn't kill him, the National Preceptor and the other three generals would definitely use it to control the army. Yan Zhisui reported to the little emperor. What if the little emperor uses this as a pretext to reduce the military power in the northwest?
The northwest army cannot be in chaos!
When Du Jie thought of this, he saw Peng Xian turn to the left and wave his hand to signal the swordsman.
Seeing that Peng Xianzuo really didn't care about anything, he decided to kill General Jia. Just about to rush over and save him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then I heard someone shouting from the outside
"Save someone under the knife!"
Not long after, a group of people squeezed in from outside. After entering, this group of people knelt in front of Peng Xianzuo.
"Subordinate, Fengziying Song Yigang has just met the marshal!"
Peng Xianzuo saw them and said, "If you don't rest in the camp, what are you doing here?"
Song Yigang continued: "I have a personal report. We and General Jia are from the same hometown. On the fifth day of last month, the old general said that he had to leave the military camp for a few days because of something. We were worried about the safety of the old general, so we went with him without informing him. The general went with us. We left our posts without authorization and asked the marshal to punish us!"
As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions were different. Several people who were familiar with General Jia looked happy, knowing that if this matter came to pass, Jia Ci's army would not die. When the three people behind the Imperial Master heard this, they wanted to go forward and argue. The Imperial Master, with quick eyesight and quick hands, held them down and shook his head at them.
When Peng Xianzuo heard this, his face remained expressionless and he just asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
The leading soldier replied: "Everything my subordinates said is true."
When Peng Xianzuo heard this, his heart finally calmed down, but his expression did not change at all.
"Huh!" He snorted coldly and turned back to the tent.
The generals rushed over to untie General Jia, but General Jia ignored them and walked up to Song Yigang.
"You...you..."
Several people surrounded him, grabbed his arm and said, "Old general, there is no need to say more. Since we have left our posts without authorization, we absolutely cannot let the general take the blame for me! General, please go ahead."
Du Jie's head was a little confused at this time, this matter was developing too fast. But the Imperial Master just smiled and said nothing. It seems that everything is well understood.
Back at the big tent, Song Gangyi from Fengziying came in and knelt under the tent.
"Commander, everything my subordinate said is true. It is indeed the old general who voluntarily followed us because we were worried about him. We voluntarily accepted the punishment in order to uphold military law."
Dozens of soldiers behind shouted in unison
"I am willing to be punished!"
Peng Xianzuo didn't speak at this time. He looked at Jia Cijun and Song Gangyi below, then at the Imperial Preceptor and Du Jie, and finally took a deep breath and said: "Wu An Gong, Imperial Preceptor, look at this. ?”
The Imperial Master did not wait for Du Jie to speak, then stood up and said: "Marshal, since there is another hidden secret in this matter, it needs to be investigated clearly. We are willing to guarantee General Jia. Please make a decision after Marshal completes the investigation."
Du Jie also said hurriedly: "My nephew is also willing to guarantee Grandpa Jia."
Peng Xianzuo nodded: "Okay, in that case, take Jia Cijun and the people from Fengziying down and imprison them. Wait until the commander investigates the matter clearly."
This time, the law enforcement officers below were happy and forced Jia Cijun and fifty soldiers from Fengzi Camp to leave the tent.
When Peng Xianzuo saw that the main business was done, he did not forget to say to the military advisor:
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Imperial Preceptor this time. If the Imperial Preceptor had not informed me, I would have committed a crime of negligence. After this incident, I will definitely report it to the Emperor to plead guilty."
The Imperial Master waved his hand: "Marshal Peng is serious. I...hey, now that this matter has come to an end, I will take my leave."
The three generals originally wanted to argue with Peng Xianzuo, but when they saw that the imperial master kept winking at them, they had no choice but to give up.
After they all left, Peng Xianzuo said to the others, "You should also go back to the camp and rest as soon as possible. Du Jie, please stay for a while."
After everyone left, Peng Xianzuo sat on a chair and pinched his eyebrows.
Du Jie hurriedly stepped forward, held Peng Xianzuo in his hand and asked, "Uncle Peng, are you okay?"
Peng Xianzuo signaled Du Jie to sit down, "Du Jie, this Kong Wujue is too difficult to deal with. Don't provoke him easily in the future. This person is not a kind person. If he takes care of you, you will be in trouble."
Du Jie also frowned: "Uncle Peng, you mean he came to report Grandpa Jia? It's true that the Imperial Master will make a fuss over such a trivial matter."
Peng Xianzuo saw that Du Jie didn't understand what was going on, so he could only patiently explain to him.
"Do you think this is the only thing? From the time he came to the Northwest Camp to now, everything he does has his purpose."
After hearing this, Du Jie didn't know what Peng Xianzuo was talking about. He was a little curious and asked: "Uncle, what did you say about everything the Imperial Master did? What did he do?"
Peng Xianzuo saw that he was still as simple-minded as before, so he could only say to him patiently: "After three years, I still expected you to make some progress, but I didn't expect you to be so simple. Du Jie, your grandfather is not with you now. You can no longer deal with others based on your previous thoughts. When you encounter people, you will have evil thoughts. Only if you have evil thoughts in your heart, others will not hurt you. This is true on the battlefield, and so is the world, even in the court."
Peng Xianzuo saw the look on Du Jie's face and knew that he didn't listen. He shook his head and said it was business.
"Before you told me your purpose of coming to the northwest, but it happened that the Imperial Advisor arrived here before you. His purpose was to mobilize troops, but I think the emperor will not agree to his request in the end. He can understand this. I can understand it, but he still wants to come to the Northwest Camp, why?"
Du Jie heard what Peng Xianzuo said and thought about it.
"Why?"
"His ultimate goal is to make it impossible for anyone to lend troops to the northwest. Before the Tatar issue in the north is resolved, if there is any fight between you and the cult, I will not be able to lend troops to help you."
After hearing this, Du Jie was shocked and realized that the imperial master had such a purpose.
"This is one, and the other is what happened tonight. Have you ever thought about how Kong Wujue knew that General Jia led his troops to Bulao Mountain last month?"
"Did the steward leak it?"
"This is impossible. The manager is from the northwest, and it is impossible for him to do such a rip-off thing. The time when he found out about this was too coincidental. I thought about it carefully, maybe it was because of you..."
"Because of me?" Du Jie was completely confused this time.
Peng Xianzuo nodded to her: "Yes, it's because of you, because you came to the northwest camp early."
"Are you here early? I don't understand."
"Kong Wujue asked you when you came to Yongzhou. Why did the emperor send you to Yongzhou? Originally, you should still be investigating the case in Yongzhou City, but you came to the northwest camp early. Are you here to borrow troops now? ? The case is unknown, definitely not. Is that to reminisce? I think the Imperial Master finally guessed that you came to the Northwest Camp to investigate something. The Northwest Camp is some distance away from Yongzhou City and Bulao Mountain. He then went to check this place The mercenaries were dispatched for a period of time. It happened that General Jia really led the troops without permission."
Peng Xianzuo was worthy of being a wise and courageous general. After stroking the matter from front to back, the general outline of the matter was straightened out.
Du Jie heard Peng Xianzuo's analysis and stayed where he was.
"Uncle Peng, is what you said true? Is this Imperial Master really that powerful? Just because I came here early, I found a flaw in Grandpa Jia?"
Peng Xianzuo nodded: "Even if there is a difference, it won't be a big difference."
Du Jie did not expect that each member of the Kong family would be more difficult to deal with. After Peng Xianzuo said this, he said to Du Jie:
"I also know why Lao Jia went to Bulao Mountain. He just heard that there was a treasure in Bulao Mountain. Seeing that his military salary was almost gone, he wanted to see if he could get some money in Bulao Mountain. Du Jie, Tonight, when there is no one around, go find General Jia and ask him about the journey to Bulao Mountain. This may be of some help to your investigation, but you have to tell him that if anyone else asks, don't tell him again."
Du Jie thought for a while, now this was the best choice, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
In the imperial army's tent, Niu Yuanzheng complained with some dissatisfaction.
"You actually let the man named Jia escape this disaster, huh. If he really led the troops out, they would be dead right now."
The Imperial Master smiled and said: "Forget it, it is a small matter after all, and everything should be focused on the overall situation. But Marshal Peng is really a wonderful man."
