"Is it tantamount to conspiracy?"

"Kill?!"

When nearly a thousand sergeants heard Ping Yang's words, their faces turned pale and terrified. A quarter of an hour ago, they had put such a charge on Fang Zhengzheng.

But now...

People like myself were also charged with the same crime.

rebellion!

This is the grave crime of killing the Nine Clans!

Each of the sergeants did not want to die, let alone be punished by the nine tribes. However, since ancient times, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, let alone ordinary soldiers like them.

"Your Highness Princess, please spare your life!"

"Your Highness Princess, please have mercy. I don't know how to wait!"

"It was General Wang who held the military order and ordered us to kill Fang Zhengzheng. We are only acting according to the military order. Please, Your Highness the Princess, please do not kill us and other nine tribes!"

There were waves of kowtows, and nearly a thousand sergeants prostrated themselves on the ground. No one dared to raise their heads.

After all, the person in front of him was Pingyang, the most favored by the Holy Emperor today, a little devil who was known as the number one tyrant in Yanjing City, and whom even the civil and military ministers of the dynasty and the first-rank prime minister of the dynasty did not dare to provoke.

Chi Guyan looked at the scene in front of him.

He did not immediately answer Pingyang's words, nor did he immediately stop Pingyang from interceding for the sergeants. Instead, he turned around and came to Zhang Yangping's side.

"Hello, village chief!"

"Ah... County... Hello, Princess!" Zhang Yangping looked at Chi Guyan, looking extremely nervous.

After all, how could people living in the Northern Desert not know the name of Qianjin Chi Guyan of the Shenhou Mansion? If Fang Zhengzheng was the pride of Beishan Village, then Chi Guyan was the pride of the entire Five Prefectures of the Northern Desert.

"Zheng Zheng has been taking care of the village chief for so many years. I am very grateful. Gu Yan came a little late today and I don't know what happened. Can the village chief explain in detail?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Yangping nodded immediately.

Then. Then he began to tell in detail what happened, from the black-faced general entering the village to the conversations during the process.

Chi Guyan never interrupted Zhang Yangping's words, but just listened quietly.

Fang Zhengyi had already helped Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian aside, and arranged for the villagers to rescue the injured villagers. As for the nearly a thousand sergeants, they all knelt on the ground nervously.

However, when they heard what the black-faced general did in Beishan Village. Everyone looked shocked. They never thought that the black-faced general would indiscriminately hurt innocent villagers.

In less than a moment, Zhang Yangping explained the whole thing completely.

Chi Guyan nodded, looking brightly at the nearly a thousand sergeants kneeling on the ground again, his lips pursed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Holding military orders?"

Chi Guyan knew that Fang Zhengzheng killed the sergeant last night. She was watching from the side, and she did not stop it, which meant that this matter would not have much impact.

The sergeant used his power to bully the villagers. As an official of the imperial court, Fang Zhengzheng had his own responsibility for control. However, he later had a conflict during the control and killed someone. There is a crime of exceeding one's authority, but the crime does not lead to death.

However, if the sergeant insulted Fang Zhengzheng's parents, the crime of overstepping his authority could be offset according to the court law, and the crime of the sergeant insulting the parents of the imperial official could be offset.

According to Fang Zheng's current official rank. A fourth-rank official in the capital is an important minister in the court, so. It is not excessive to execute two sergeants.

But, today is different.

Nearly a thousand sergeants besieged a village, injured so many villagers, killed and wounded so many sergeants, and they still held the military gate token.

The impact of this incident is too great.

Normally, Fang Zhengzheng had already identified himself yesterday. Even if the army didn't know Fang Zhengzheng's current official rank, they should have sent an envoy to inquire first, rather than directly using the army to surround the village.

Even if the army was really deployed to surround the village, they would only arrest Fang Zheng and hand him over to the military gate for processing. It would be impossible to injure the villagers first and then massacre them.

This is simply asking for death.

There must be someone behind the scenes. This military order could never have been issued by General Wang.

So, who gave the order

Prince Duan

When Chi Guyan thought of this, he felt that it was a little impossible. Duan Wang Lin Xinjue was in charge of the military sect, and he was the most suspicious. Everyone would think of him immediately.

But precisely because of this, it was even more impossible for him to do so.

King Duan was not stupid enough. When Fang Zhengzheng returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, he sent people to follow him and kill him. Moreover, he used the power of his own army to make such a big fanfare.

So…

Will he be the prince

Killing two birds with one stone, killing Fang Zhengzheng, and at the same time falsely accusing King Duan of being incompetent in running the army

It seems good, but in reality it is full of mistakes. First, such an approach is tantamount to a head-on war, snatching the power of the military sect from King Duan. King Duan has been in charge of the military sect for so many years, how can a Fang Zhengzheng be affected? Secondly, if I could immediately think of this false accusation, how could the Holy One not notice it

Unable to change Prince Duan's position, yet he took such a big risk and left a suspicion of seizing power in front of the Holy Emperor. What the prince wanted was stability.

He must be virtuous, and must also be open-minded and tolerant.

The most important thing is that the emperor's art pays attention to balance. The prince knows very well that King Duan is the one who checks and balances him, so he knows that he can suppress him, but as long as King Duan does not go too far, he will never directly seize him. The power of kings.

If you don't make mistakes, you will be the final winner.

Otherwise, you will not be able to protect yourself.

Now King Duan is at the peak of his power, and his reputation in front of the Holy Master is very good. What if the prince wants to use this matter to seize the power of the military sect and confront King Duan head-on

Also unlikely.

So, who is it

"Who in the military gate sent the order?" Chi Guyan finally spoke after thinking for a while.

"This... we don't know. This person was dressed in black robes. He entered General Wang's camp late at night five days ago. It was too dark at the time and we couldn't see clearly. After that, he never left the camp. Yesterday In the evening, a sergeant came to report that the sergeant stationed in Beishan Village was driven out, and two people died. Later, General Wang ordered us to go to Beishan Village to arrest people." A deputy general heard Chi Guyan's words When asked, he didn't dare to be slow and answered immediately.

"Five days ago?" Chi Guyan frowned slightly. If the other party chooses to garrison in Beishan Village in advance, there are two possibilities. The first is that they are afraid of being discovered while following, and the second is that they have other plans.

The order to arrest Fang Zhengzheng may only be temporary.

In this way, things become complicated again. If it was a temporary move, how would the other party know that something like this must happen in Beishan Village in advance

unless…

All this was arranged by the other party long ago. Deliberately letting the sergeant insult the villagers of Beishan Village? This is one possibility, and another possibility is that the other party has other purposes.

Is it for the Holy Monument of Heavenly Dao

If it was for the Holy Monument of Heavenly Dao, and we had already arrived at the foot of Cangling Mountain, why didn’t we enter Cangling Mountain again? Is the other party related to this action of the demons? Who has such great energy that a general in the army can obey his orders

Questions appeared in Chi Guyan's mind one after another.

However, Chi Guyan did not ask again, because the black-faced general was already dead.

With such a big commotion happening in Beishan Village, I'm afraid the man in black robe had already left the camp. If this matter needs to be investigated, I'm afraid there is only one way.

Lure the snake out of its hole.

Then, these only sergeants who may have knowledge will be imprisoned, and then. Review one by one.

Only in this way can the other party take action again.

"You harassed the villagers today. Although you were ordered by the military, the details need to be reviewed. From now on, no one can have any communication, and everyone is on standby. If there are any escapees, the nine tribes will be executed!"

"Yes!" When nearly a thousand sergeants heard Chi Guyan's words, no one had the slightest objection. Although Chi Guyan was not in charge of the military, he was the future generalissimo of the army.

How dare they refuse

"Sister Yan, these people are so hateful, why don't you kill them all?" Pingyang seemed a little unwilling.

"The real mastermind hasn't come out yet. Wouldn't killing all these people be helping the other party silence him?" Chi Guyan knew Pingyang's personality well, so he also explained.

"So that's it, then let's spare their lives! How does Sister Yan plan to deal with them?"

"Of course he will be punished according to the laws of the dynasty!"

"Does that mean it should be handled directly by the military?"

"No, at least not for the time being!" Chi Guyan shook his head.

"Then let these people keep kneeling here like this?" Pingyang looked at the sergeants kneeling on the ground in darkness, with a cunning smile on his lips.

"Well, just kneel down first! Someone will come and take them away later!"

"Where will Sister Yan take them?"

"God's Mansion!"

After a stick of incense, a man in armor about forty years old came to Chi Guyan.

Fang Zhengzheng knows this person.

It was the General Li who went to Nanshan Village with Chi Guyan eight years ago. However, compared to eight years ago, General Li now has a hint of white frost on his temples.

"See Miss! According to Miss's instructions, two thousand people have arrived outside the village. This is medicine."

"Well, keep the medicines and take these people to the Shenhou Mansion. No one is allowed to speak along the way. They are all taken away separately and guarded in turns. After arriving at the Shenhou Mansion, they will be examined one by one."

"Yes!" General Li responded respectfully, then turned and left.

Within a short while, nearly a thousand sergeants, including several deputy generals, were all taken away.

Fang Zhengzheng did not stay in the square anymore. In fact, after Chi Guyan gave the order, he had already returned home with Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

Pingyang looked at General Li who was leaving, and then at the villagers who rushed away after thanking them with the medicine, a slight smile on his pink mouth.

"Sister Yan, where are we going to play now?"

"It's in Beishan Village!"

"But I haven't eaten anything delicious for several days. I'm exhausted in the military camp. How about we go to Huai'an County? What is there to eat in Beishan Village?"

"You are wrong. The food in Huai'an County is not as delicious as the food in Beishan Village." Chi Guyan fondly touched Pingyang's black hair, and then, his bright eyes looked in the direction of Fang Zhengzheng's home, as if Some vague worries.

"Is there something delicious in Beishan Village? Where is it?"

"The home of that shameless little thief."

"Ah? What delicious food can he have at his house?"

"You'll know later, but if you want to eat delicious food today, I'm afraid you have to put a lot of effort into it!" Chi Guyan frowned slightly, and what happened today had gone beyond her plan.

And such a big matter will soon spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Next, the summons order from the Ministry of Punishment is expected to be delivered to Beishan Village soon.

The sergeant of the Slaughter Dynasty.

Not to mention just the fourth rank, even the first rank minister does not have this power.

Although Fang Zhengzheng had legitimate reasons for what he did today, such a "record" of nearly a hundred soldiers killed and injured was obviously an exaggeration.

"Why is this happening?" Chi Guyan was a little confused. Based on her understanding of the other party's integrity, even if she was guarding the village, she would not kill to such an extent.

She didn't think much about it, because all the problems would be solved naturally after seeing Fang Zhengzheng, so she took Pingyang and walked directly towards Fang Zhengzheng's residence.

"Sister Yan, do you think that shameless family is a little weird today?" Pingyang followed Chi Guyan and said as he walked.

"What's wrong?"

"I always feel that when I see him, his eyes seem a bit cold. Moreover, he surprisingly did not express any opinions on the sergeant's handling today. Isn't this not in line with his character?"

"Wouldn't you know if you ask him later?"

"I won't ask! But, did that shameless guy really grow up in this village? Isn't this too shabby? Moreover, it seems that none of these villagers have become Taoists? What happened to that guy? Has it become so powerful?"

"Ask him!"

"Those words again, Sister Yan is bullying me!"

Not long after, Pingyang arrived at Fang Zhengzheng's home under the leadership of Chi Guyan.

When Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian, who were sitting in the room, saw Pingyang and Chi Guyan, they immediately stood up and walked out of the door.

"The common people have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess!"

"Uncle, aunt, Gu Yan has said that you should just treat me as Gu Yan, the same as before, otherwise Gu Yan will not be used to it." When Chi Guyan saw this scene, he immediately supported Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

"You won't..."

"I still have to disturb my uncle and aunt!"

"No!" At this moment, a voice came from the room, and then, a figure wearing a blue robe appeared at the door.

It was Fang Zhengzheng.

When Pingyang heard Fang Zhengyi's words, he glanced at Fang Zhengyi again, and his little mouth suddenly pouted, looking extremely dissatisfied: "Fang Zhengzheng, this princess has given you great face by staying here, and today, I The princess saved your life, do you want to be ungrateful?"

"You can stay here for one hundred taels of silver a night!" Fang Zhengzheng stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Pingyang.

"Sister Yan, if I want to keep in mind what I just said, this guy hasn't changed at all, he's still as shameless as before!" Pingyang immediately became angry when he heard this.

"And you, the daughter of the dignified Shenhou Mansion, please find another job, because no matter how much money you give, it won't work!" Fang Zhengzheng ignored Pingyang and looked at Chi Guyan with a very firm expression. .

"Really? What if the price I gave you was ten thousand taels of silver per night?" Chi Guyan didn't seem to be surprised at all by Fang Zhengzheng's attitude, but replied with a smile. (To be continued.)
