Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 625 The Situation in the North 2
"Taiwei, this may be useful." Ge Yang chuckled, and took out an arrowhead that was stained with withered blood.

Liu Jian raised his brows, took it over and stared at it for a while, then said with satisfaction: "You guys actually have this, you won't take it out a long time ago."

Just entering the cell, a musty smell and the stench of blood and sweat came to the nostrils. As a senior military judge, Liu Jian was also a person who fought on the battlefield, so he just covered his nose and walked in with a slight frown.

A burly man in homespun trousers was lying on a straw bed with a haggard face. His upper body was naked and mostly wrapped in white linen. The top of his right chest was soaked in blood, obviously seriously injured.

Liu Jian waved the two military judges out, and Ge Yang guarded the cell door, leaving only him and the seriously injured Zhang Wu in the cell.The two looked at each other, and after a long period of stalemate, he looked at Zhang Wu with a half-smile, and Zhang Wu also lay down and looked at him coldly, and the two tested each other's patience.

"The strong man's guardian is loyal and courageous. This commander admires it a little. There are indeed not many people who look like a strong man and loyal these days!" Liu Jian changed his smile and comforted him in a warm voice.

Zhang Wu glanced at Liu Jian indifferently, and closed his eyes gently. At this moment, he was in pain, and he had no intention of arguing with the military judges. He was a fool for his obvious tenderness!
Liu Jian touched a soft nail. Although he was furious, facing Zhang Wu, who was as fleshy as a hob, he was really like a dog biting a hedgehog. Coming to the chest, whether it is a crossbow or an arrow, it is the same as assassinating Xueshi Cai."

Zhang Wu frowned slightly, and the subtle movements did not escape Liu Jian's eyes. He sneered in his heart, as long as the other party could listen, it would be fine, just in case you didn't respond, he said in a gentle voice: "Well, the disaster is not accidental. Little, I also admire it very much. It is indeed bold enough to assassinate a privy priest. Mr. Cai is an important minister that Wang Xianggong relies on. Sooner or later he will enter the two houses. You dare to shoot him. I don’t know what to say Good! Anyway, I don’t have the guts.”

He laughed at himself, paused, and said sharply: "You don't have to doubt my intentions. I am in charge of the affairs of Yu Housi, the capital of Qianbei Servant, so I still need to think about it with you? That's too low. Li Qiong It's just a reckless man who dares to do such a rebellious thing for his own selfishness. You officials are eating the food of the court, and you are loyal to the officials of the Song Dynasty, not Li Qiong. Don't you understand the reason?"

"Don't even think about it. The assassination of Xueshi Cai, don't say that Wang Xianggong is angry, the court alone will investigate to the end, and will never let go of any clues. No one will rest assured that someone is lying on the couch with a knife. Some masterminds only need to think about it." To get away with it, the dead are the best way to keep it secret, Li Qiong did nothing wrong, if I order you to do it, I won't spare your life."

Although Zhang Wu still had his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth began to twitch slightly, obviously thinking a lot about it.

"A few of you can do it, dare to accept Li Qiong's order, and commit murder thousands of miles away. It's a pity that Xueshi Cai has a great life, and he is alive and well, but you have been silenced, and even your family is not spared. It's really pitiful." Jian shook his head and sighed, with a look of unworthiness.

"Taiwei, don't waste any more words. The villain is just going home to visit relatives, and I don't want to meet..." Zhang Wu couldn't help but opened his mouth, causing a sharp pain in the wound, and he still had to make a final struggle.

I was afraid that you would not open your mouth, since there is a way to speak, Liu Jian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, the court concluded that it was Li Qiong who vented his anger privately, and the two governments have already reached a conclusion, even if you don't speak I can't defend him either. I admire people who would rather die than betray their masters, but your loyalty is a small righteousness, not a great righteousness. Have you ever thought of what consequences your arrow almost caused? It is to cut Li Qiong into pieces, It can’t make up for it just in case.”

"You said that you have never done this case. Do you think that such sophistry can deceive Du Yu Hou Si? To tell you the truth, when you shot that arrow, Du Yu Hou Si judged that it was committed by the Forbidden Army. Because, in the end, Li Qiong is delineated, and this guy will sacrifice you all in order to protect himself. Although this trick is not new, it is very old-fashioned and vicious."

"It's really pitiful. At this time, the people who haven't killed me are covering it. I really don't know whether to say you are loyal or stupid."

Zhang Wu half-opened his eyes, and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes. Liu Jian's words had a great impact on him. He didn't want to believe it but he had to believe it. After all, he has a family. what to do?
"You were also a hero before you joined the army. I don't need to say much about the killing of donkeys. Facing the continuous invasion of the court, Li Qiong sent you to Dezhou. It's a joke. Leaving your lives is like a knife." Put it on your neck, maybe you will kill yourself that day. Since you can lead the dead into the industry, you can be regarded as a smart person. How can you not understand the mystery? As I said just now, your little one It's over, it's completely hopeless."

A trace of panic flashed in Zhang Wu's eyes, and he suddenly sneered and said: "The smallpox that the Taiwei said is going around, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time, and the crime is not as good as the family."

"Haha, it's pitiful to be obsessed with obsession! To save you, I lost three military judges. Look at the arrowheads I took from your body." Liu Jian burst into laughter, and the other party lost his composure in a panic, indirectly admitting that he had committed a serious case.

With a relaxed look, he took out the blood-stained arrowhead from his sleeve and threw it on Zhang Wu's body.

"A flat-hooked arrow without feathers?" Zhang Wu opened his eyes halfway to look at it, but he couldn't help but sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't even care about the severe pain.

Just when Liu Jian was making intensive visits, Li Gang received an edict to return to the Privy Council. He couldn't help but consider the complicated situation in Jingdong, and he was a little hesitant. But how could the imperial court allow it, even some people in the Xuanfu Department couldn't wait.

You don't need to be a high official, but the brothers below can't wait, and you can't delay the future of others because of your high morals.

"Li Xianggong, Jingdong's matter is nothing to worry about. It's just some disgruntled villains who can't make a big wave. Xianggong is still called back to the line to preside over the new military system." Facing the hesitant Li Gang, Zhang Qiyuan was burning with anxiety. what!

However, Li Gang was still hesitating. He obviously didn't know what Zhang Qiyuan was thinking. Instead, he thought that Zhang Qiyuan had imagined it for him, so he said hesitantly: "I'm afraid the captives will come."

"Your Excellency is worrying too much! The imperial court reorganized the Ministry of War to serve as the Fang Division, established the Privy Council's Speed ​​Division, and distributed envoys large and small. How can they not know the truth about the captives? Even if they come, why not be afraid, my 20 troops are not just for show."
