Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2472 Unfinished work
At this moment, Changsun Guang could only pray to God and worship Buddha, and begged his two soldiers to grit their teeth and would rather die than tell the whereabouts of Zheng Sanwa's body.As long as Zheng Sanwa's body can't be found, there is no physical evidence, relying on the influence of Changsun Guang, Xue Rengui dare not kill himself recklessly.

Even though he still had doubts, he could only be escorted back to Chang'an and handed over to Weiwei Temple for investigation and interrogation.

This is the site that the Guanlong family has been operating since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If the family members interrogate their own family members, what can they find out?

Even in this Anxi Army, there are Guanlong disciples at every grassroots level. Xue Rengui only dared to interrogate those soldiers without any evidence, but he did not dare to touch him in the slightest.

Of course, if there is evidence, it will be completely different. This is Fang Jun’s direct descendant. It’s nothing more than Fang Er’s minions. Once the evidence is in hand, no one can save himself...

He lowered his head, secretly wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and said full of grievances: "I don't know why Sima Xue is suspicious, and I don't know who is telling stories and slandering behind the scenes, but the general is not afraid of the shadows, and he is not afraid of the shadows. Sima Xue interrogated!"

There was chaos in the camp, and the generals were all surprised when they heard Xue Rengui's order to arrest him, so they hurried to the commander's camp to find out what happened.

Xue Rengui ordered everyone to stay.

Half an hour later, a personal soldier entered the account and reported: "Sima, all the soldiers led out of the city led by Captain Changsun that day have been captured, and under torture, most of them have confessed."

Xue Rengui sat behind the desk and nodded: "What have you confessed to, please tell me in detail."

"Here!"

The soldiers said: "Most of them confessed that when they followed Captain Sun Xiaowei out of the city on patrol, they met the scouts of Gao Zhenxing's department, and the news they brought back was that his department and a place not far from Suiye City were attacked by Arab cavalry at night. Then he fought hard and retreated until Rehai Mountain Pass, where he was overtaken by Arab cavalry, and there was no possibility of escape. Lieutenant Gao Zhenxing made a decisive decision and ordered Zheng Sanwa to return to Gongyue City to report the news. The enemy army bought time for him. However, Zheng Sanwa traveled [-] miles day and night, but was killed by Captain Changsun, and then led his soldiers to the south for more than [-] miles, making a false investigation, and then returned to Gongyue City, took the information from Gao Zhenxing's department as his own, and reported it to Sima."

There was a sudden exclamation in the tent, and even faint angry shouts and curses.

In the army, robes and feet are brothers, especially the Anxi army is full of Guanzhong sons, the ancestors have been fighting everywhere since the pre-Qin period. I have suffered so much, but never betrayed!
Do you say no clothes?In the same robe as the son.Wang Yuxing taught me to repair my spear.The same hatred with the son.

Do you say no clothes?Same with Zi.Wang Yu Xingshi, repair my spear and halberd.Work with your son.

Qi said without clothes?Same clothes with the child.Division Wang Yuxing, repair my armor.Go with the son!
Generation after generation, the old Qin people sang this battle song and went on to fight against the dog army and win the decisive victory in the Central Plains. Never betrayed!
Slaughtering robes and pretending to be a leader in the army is regarded as a great disgrace in the army, and a hundred deaths are not enough to forgive his crime!

Changsun Guang was sweating profusely. He faintly heard that many generals from the Guanlong family were yelling angry words in the tent. He was very emotional and quickly argued loudly: "Xue Sima, please listen to the last general! The last general has always been strict in running the army. If the soldiers make a slight mistake, they will be punished by military law. It is hard to guarantee that they will not have accumulated resentment in their hearts. Under this severe punishment, how can they be trusted if they talk nonsense? Moreover, since ancient times, people have paid attention to all the stolen goods, and those soldiers just said that the last You slaughtered Zhibaoze, but where is the body? Without evidence from the body, how can you impose this crime on the last general? I hope that Sima will interrogate him rigorously, and the last general will be innocent! Otherwise, my elder Sun Guang, I would rather die than accept it!"

After saying that, he took off the iron helmet on his head, put it in front of himself, wiped the sweat from his face, and made a generous and awe-inspiring expression.

Someone stood up and said in a deep voice: "Xue Sima Mingjian, if there is no conclusive evidence, you really can't just listen to the one-sided words of those soldiers. Under the three trees, it is like falling into purgatory. If the soldiers are not strong-willed, in order to get rid of the unbearable torture, they will inevitably talk nonsense. One should not be credulous, otherwise, once credulous and false words are believed, the heroes will suffer and the warriors will be wronged, won’t it make the loved ones hurt and the enemies happy?"

A few people echoed their words, but most of the generals remained silent.

Xue Rengui glanced at it, and the person who spoke was Linghu Chang, who joined the army as a recorder, the grandson of Linghu Defen... Xue Rengui was not surprised that Guan Long's disciples stood up to defend Changsun Guang.

He sneered, and said with a sneer: "Linghu joined the army, are you willing to vouch for Changsun Guang?"

Linghu Chang was taken aback for a moment, and said falteringly, "This..."

"Ha ha."

Xue Rengui sneered again, looked at Linghu Chang with disdain, and said slowly: "You are all the children of Guanlong, and only officials and officials protect each other and interests are intertwined in your eyes. There was never a national law, and there was never a military law. ?”

Linghu Chang felt that the crime was a bit serious and he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said: "I also ask Xue Sima to calm down, the last general is definitely not defending Captain Sun Xiaowei, just discussing the matter..."

"fart!"

Xue Rengui suddenly stood up and cursed angrily.

He stood up, walked out from behind the desk, pointed at Linghu Chang's nose, and said angrily, "Put your hand on your chest, touch your conscience, and tell me that this general is in your heart, do you believe that Changsun Guang killed the robe and risked his life?" Leading the army?"

Linghu Chang broke out in a cold sweat.

Asking himself, he believed that Changsun Guang did such a thing... No matter the motive or the consequences, Changsun Guang is the most suspicious.

However, as a disciple of Guanlong, he had to defend Changsun Guang, even though he was extremely contemptuous of Changsunguang's behavior!

Taking a deep breath, Linghu Chang clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "The general never listens to partial beliefs, but only looks at the evidence. If there are all witnesses and material evidence, Sima Xue is not required to order, the general is willing to personally supervise and kill Sun Guang! But now only Witnesses, and the confession was made under heavy punishment, the credibility is extremely low, and the final general believes that Changsun Guang should not be punished!"

Even great punishment cannot be imposed on Changsun Guang!

Xue Rengui was furious and tried his best to restrain himself.

He knew that his qualifications and background were his shortcomings. If Li Xiaogong was here and said that he would drag Changsun Guang out to be punished, who would dare to say such words in front of him?
Who dares to say, Li Xiaogong dares to kill them together!

Although he has made many meritorious deeds, he has been serving under Fang Jun's command, and he is incompatible with the entire Datang military system. This cannot be compensated by ability in a short time, and requires long-term precipitation and hard work.And he was born in a remote branch of the Xue family in Hedong, and he was not recognized by the children of these aristocratic families.

All the soldiers in the account were silent.

The generals from Guanlong want to protect Changsun Guang, while those who are not from Guanlong are waiting for the opportunity and dare not express their views easily.

However, no matter who they are leaning toward, this attitude is already obvious. They believe that this incident was done by Changsun Guang, but their position determines that they must defend Changsun Guang.

Justice and interests are often at odds with each other.

Even though they may still have a trace of conscience in their hearts, they choose to ignore this conscience in the face of family interests.

……

These situations did not exceed Xue Rengui's expectations.

He looked at Linghu Chang again, and asked again: "Would you like to vouch for Changsun Guang when Linghu joins the army?"

Linghu Chang's lips twitched, but he remained silent.

Are you kidding me? The reason for defending Changsun Guang is that everyone is in the same vein as Guanlong, but how can you put yourself on the line for Changsun Guang?

It doesn't matter what you say, but you can guarantee this kind of thing, and you won't do it if you kill him...

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xue Rengui's lips, and he turned to look at the people in the account: "Everyone, since you have vowed to defend Changsun Guang, is there anyone willing to vouch for him?"

No one in the account responded.

The generals who were not from Guanlong naturally refused to take this muddy water. Even if there is no evidence right now, everyone already believed in their hearts that this matter was done by Chang Sun Guang, so how could they still guarantee it?And the generals from Guan Long are not stupid, everyone is close relatives, it is okay to support you, and even to unite to put pressure on Xue Rengui, but guaranteeing such a thing is absolutely impossible.

But the sneering and disdainful smile on Xue Rengui's face was clearly mocking them. They were all lip servicers, and they never gave up for taking credit, but when it came to the critical moment, they all played it safe and didn't take responsibility.

Everyone has a head and a face, but now they have to suffer Xue Rengui's contempt and disdain for an eldest grandson, but they can't even say a half-sentence, what a motherly pain...
