Chapter 183: 14. New evidence

Views:

"Come on, what evidence?" Feng Ying saw Zhang Yi speak confidently, and hurriedly urged.

Zhang Yi nodded his head, took a deep look at Ling Yiqu above, took a breath, and said, "Masters, there is another person with me today. Just wait in the hall. Please come up there."

Feng Ying glanced at Ling Yiqu and saw Ling Yiqu smiling at the beard stroking his beard. His eyes were very meaningful, and he couldn't help but look at Luo Yangxing. He saw Luo Yangxing's gloomy face and eyes drooping, as if thoughtful. .

"Bring it here." Feng Ying remembered Ling Yiqu's guess, and looked down at Yuan Chonghuan who was lying down. Because of Tengbao's wound medicine, Yuan Chonghuan's injuries healed a lot. He changed into a new prison shirt and knelt there, although his back The blood was still oozing, but the spirit had recovered a lot, but the expression on his face was a bit strange, a little haggard and sad, but his eyes were also very energetic.

After a while, he walked into an eunuch from the side door, dressed in his twenties, with thin eyebrows and fair skin. He walked into the hall, looked at the crowded people outside the hall from the corner of the room, and said with his hands and throat narrowly: " Yang Dongcheng from our family pays homage to the adults."

"Daddy Yang, please sit down."

Civil officials generally do not offend eunuchs easily. Feng Ying saw Yang Dongcheng, and her tone was quite polite, and she stubbornly shook her hands, and soon a government officer put a stool over and asked Yang Dongcheng to sit down.

"Zhang Yi, what do you mean by inviting Grandpa Yang to come?" Feng Ying turned around and scolded Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi hurriedly bowed his hand and turned to Eunuch Yang and said, "Duke Yang, please tell me what you saw in the Emperor Taiji Account."

"What? This father-in-law has also been to Huang Taiji's account?" Feng Ying asked suspiciously.

"Master Feng." Ling Yiqu hurriedly stopped when he saw Feng Ying always interrupted; "This father-in-law escaped from Huang Taiji's military tent, let him tell some inside stories."

"Okay, okay." Feng Ying was blocked in public, and smiled instead of anger, nodded and said; "Duke Yang, please say."

At this time, everyone in the hall heard that Eunuch Yang had escaped from Tarzi, and they couldn't help but talk, and they all looked at him with curiosity and suspicion.

Eunuch Yang seemed to feel this kind of doubt, coughed, and said sharply: "When our family was under siege, we were ordered to go out of the city by the emperor, but by coincidence, we were caught by Huang Taiji's subordinates. Although I didn't recognize many characters, I also knew the word loyalty and righteousness, so I was thinking about the whole section, but was tied up in a tent by the tart."

"Duke Yang." When Ling Yiqu heard this, he suddenly interjected: "What does it mean to be closed?"

The eunuch Yang snorted, "The Tartar Emperor Taiji was going to kill me, but because there was a visitor, there was no time to deal with it, so he tied me in a tent and imprisoned me. As a result, our Tartar was imprisoned to sleep in the middle of the night. Now, I saw there was a chance, so I tried to untie the rope tied to my hand, and sneaked out of the tent. Because there were soldiers on patrol, I didn’t dare to go out directly, so I could only go around. I heard a strange thing."

"What's the wonder?" Feng Ying asked.

Eunuch Yang glanced sideways at Yuan Chonghuan on the ground, his face was full of contempt, and said: "The Tartar Emperor Taiji is talking to two Han Chinese who surrendered. Because they are talking to Han Chinese, our family can barely understand them. It's about the general who is kneeling in front of us."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all pricked their ears and stared at Eunuch Yang. Seeing that Eunuch Yang smiled, he slowly rolled up his sleeves and shook his head and said: "The two traitors who surrendered told Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan was not a day away. There will be news, let Huang Taiji not worry, Huang Taiji said he is not in a hurry, anyway, he has already besieged the city, I hope Yuan Chonghuan can enter the city as soon as possible to persuade our family sage to surrender."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and the people outside the hall were even more emotional.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to be such a person."

"Yes, yes, fortunately, the Lord put him in jail, otherwise we would have died under Tarzi's iron hoof."

"Yes, yes."

Feng Ying and Ling Yiqu in the hall looked at each other and saw each other's joy. In fact, speaking of the so-called "conspiracy", they also felt that Yuan Chonghuan was too wrong, but the two patrons wanted Yuan Chonghuan to die, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet. Rascal, now that the eunuch said so, it was a no-brainer.

"Huh." Feng Ying slapped the gavel and scolded: "Yuan Chonghuan, what do you have to say now?"

Yuan Chonghuan knelt quietly in the hall. Hearing these words, the corner of his mouth showed a smile, as if he was ridiculing something. Hehe smiled, turned around and said to the eunuch Yang: "Duke Yang, when did you go to Huang Tai Chi? Big account?"

Eunuch Yang was startled, and said, "A few days ago, oh, during the siege."

"Then why are you going out?" Yuan Chonghuan pressed tightly.

Eunuch Yang blushed, as if a little bit ashamed, and reprimanded: "My emperor's life is here, do I need to tell you?"

"Okay." Yuan Chonghuan nodded: "Duke Yang, since that's the case, I won't ask anymore, but what I want to question is that as far as I know, Huang Taiji's barracks are extremely guarded. You are an eunuch, and you are not a martial artist. How did the person escape from the strong guard?"

Mrs. Yang heard this, her face flushed and said: "I naturally have my way."

"What way?" Yuan Chonghuan's tone became more and more sarcasm: "I once sent a martial arts expert to assassinate Huang Taiji, but I didn't even enter the door and was shot to death by the guards of Huang Taiji. You have no power to bind the chicken. How did the eunuch escape from Huang Taiji?"

The eunuch Yang listened more and more anxiously, and scolded angrily: "Are you in charge?"

"So..." Yuan Chonghuan chuckled, "There is only one situation where you can go out-Huang Taiji deliberately released you."

When these words were uttered, everyone was in an uproar, and the discussion formed one after another.

"This is also true. How did he, a eunuch, escape from the heavily guarded barracks?"

"Didn't Yuan Chonghuan say it? Unless Huang Taiji let him go on purpose."

"What does that mean? Could it be... a counterintuitive strategy?"

"Hush—"

Just when everyone was talking about it, Eunuch Yang stood up and angrily said: "You are an anti-thief, and you still have the courage to say three things in front of me? Master Feng? Master Ling? Master Luo, you are left with this anti-thief. Bullying our family?"

Feng Ying said in a hurry, "Daddy Yang, don't worry." After that, she looked at Luo Yangxing and said, "Lord Luo, I think Yuan Chonghuan is very cunning. Immovable punishment is impossible. You don't have many tricks. The criminal law of the People’s Republic of China is just as useful as it is."

When Luo Yangxing heard this, the muscles on his face jumped, hehe twice, stood up, walked into the hall and said loudly: "Yuan Chonghuan does not admit to rebellion at death, and Yang Gonggong's words, he also thinks it is absurd. On, well, we will use torture to force you to admit it!" He said, rolled up his sleeves, and said loudly: "Come on."

Soon several Jinyi guards rushed up and grabbed Yuan Chonghuan. Just as he was about to remove his prison clothes, Ling Yiqu suddenly said loudly: "Hold on, Lord Luo."

Luo Yang was startled and said, "What's the matter?"

Ling Yiqu chuckled and said, "My lords, Ling Mou will invite someone here today, and this person will surely convince Yuan Zei."

Feng Ying frowned, and whispered to Ling Yi's channel: "Ling Lord, Yuan Thief is very cunning. He doesn't need to be tortured, and he may continue to quibble."

Ling Yiqu shook his head, scorned the audience quickly, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Master Feng, do you remember what you said yesterday?"

Feng Ying was startled: "What are you talking about?"

Ling Yiqu supported his forehead, but it didn't show up on his face, he said, "I once said that Lord Luo is probably protecting Yuan Chonghuan."

"Right, right, right." Feng Ying finally remembered.

"So, you didn't listen to what he said just now. What did he say, saying that Yuan Chonghuan did not plead guilty and could only be tortured to force him to confess his guilt, right?" Ling Yiqu dragged the word "intentionally" long.

Feng Ying blinked and finally understood. She slapped her thigh, looked at Luo Yangxing bitterly, and said in a low voice, "Master Ling, should we join him together?"

"That's not necessary."; Luo Yang groaned, and said: "There will be someone in a while, that person should be able to convict Yuan Chonghuan, I have full confidence."

"Who?" Feng Ying complained somewhat dissatisfied: "This barbarian is very good at arguing. Look at that Zhang Yi brought the correspondence, the eunuch Yang also got the witness, and didn't hold him down."

"So." Ling Yiqu smiled and looked up at Yuan Chonghuan. Seeing Yuan Chonghuan raising his face expressionlessly, although he was held by Jin Yiwei, his face was indifferent, as if he had no interest in everything in front of him.

"He will soon know how great it is." Ling Yiqu hehe twice, a vicious light shot from his eyes...

As I was talking, suddenly I heard a surging outside, and soon the crowd dispersed like a tide, and someone outside said: "Master Sun is here—"

When these words were spoken, everyone cheered.

"Master Sun? But Master Sun Chengzong?"

"Yes, yes, it should be Master Sun Chengzong."

"He saved us, right?"

"Yes, during the siege, I heard that he assembled the rescued army and drove Tarzi away."

"Great."

Everyone turned away automatically, and saw an old man walking in from the door with a few entourages. The old man was wearing a, white beard, thin body, and piercing eyes. After coming in, he said to everyone: "Feng Lord, Lord Luo, Lord Ling."

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was coming, several adults stood up to greet them: "Master Sun, please, please."

After Yuan Chonghuan was put in prison, Sun Chengzong reorganized the rescue army and repelled Huang Taiji's offensive. Therefore, at this time, the reputation was extremely high. Everyone stood up and respectfully invited him to his seat. After the host was seated, Ling Yiqu spoke first. "Master Sun, I invite you to come here today to make it clear to Yuan Chonghuan. This Yuan thief is very cunning. After all, he just refuses to admit the rebellion, so..."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his face was dark, he stroked his beard, and said, "Yuan Chonghuan is not seeking rebellion."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, Feng Ying looked at Ling Yiqu, that means, you see, did you invite his mentor to help Yuan Chonghuan, or do you want to condemn Yuan Chonghuan

While thinking about it, Sun Chengzong said again: "But Yuan Chonghuan's sin is unforgivable."

"Om—"

The crowd was in an uproar and looked at each other.

"Why is Yuan Chonghuan's unforgivable sin?" Feng Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, and said hurriedly: "I also need to ask Sun Shuai for advice."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he didn't say much. He only turned his head and looked at Yuan Chonghuan in the hall. The past came together. They knew each other in Liaodong, and they were of the same origin. He was considered his most proud disciple, because he followed his strategy. This created the miracle of the great victory of Liaodong, and then ascended all the way, but in the end...

"Master Sun."

Yuan Chonghuan had originally looked indifferent, but at this moment he saw Sun Chengzong, but finally moved.
