Chapter 608: Di Renjie's Deception
In desperation, everyone had no choice but to open the big tent and go out one after another. Only then did they realize that at some point, there were already soldiers of the Tang Dynasty outside the big tent. Under the firelight, the Mingguang armor shone with an icy cold light. The large group of people were in front of them.
, a young scholar wearing a crimson official robe stood on the horse. On his side, there was a middle-aged general with a dark complexion, holding a big ax in his hand, and his expression was extremely powerful. What surprised them even more was that under their
Behind him, there were about a hundred or ten people, dressed in black tights, holding a slender dagger in their hands, standing behind them. Different from other soldiers, all of them lowered their heads and did not speak. Only the words on the dagger were
Blood dripped slowly. Under their feet, many soldiers could be seen lying on the ground. These soldiers were all members of the Pheasant Clan. Huludalu knew them. These people were the soldiers guarding the tent. Unexpectedly, they all died there.
here.
"Lord Di, we, the Pheasant Tribe, abide by the law and follow the orders of His Majesty. We migrated here from the Turkic steppe and are already the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Is this how you treat people like us?" Huludalu's expression suddenly changed.
, pointing at Di Renjie and said: "Aren't you afraid that our Turkic remnants will rebel again this time? Hum, I'm afraid that by then, your Tang Dynasty will not be able to occupy the entire prairie as easily as it did back then."
"Master Di, you are very good at solving the case, but why did you come here? Aren't you afraid that someone in the court will impeach you?" Wei Shouguang also reflected at this time, with an expression of extreme dissatisfaction, and stepped forward and said: "The Pheasants are loyal.
Your Majesty is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and all the soldiers under his command are fierce men. If you kill like this, doesn't it violate the saint's way of forgiveness? I heard that Mr. Di is well-read in poetry and books, don't you even know this?"
.
"Are you Wei Shouguang, the son of Wei Ting?" Di Renjie glanced at everyone coldly and sneered: "I am here on the orders of the emperor. Wei Shouguang, what are you dissatisfied with? I will wait until you are sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment
Say it again"
"Hmph, Di Renjie, don't think that just because you hold the Cold Light Sword in your hand, you can really represent the emperor. What you do is simply a revenge for personal revenge and a random frame-up." Wei Shouguang's expression changed greatly, and he pointed at Di Renjie and said, "Even if you have the Cold Light Sword,
Mobilizing so many troops while in hand is a violation of the law. Di Renjie, do you want to rebel? With this, the officials in the court can ask your Majesty to execute you. I think you should take care of yourself first.
You are saying it yourself”
"Really? Mr. Wei, I would like to thank you for your concern." Di Renjie said coldly: "Do you think I am such a brainless person? Faced with this situation, you still don't understand your situation?
Since I am mobilizing troops, I naturally have my own reasons. General Cheng, please report your official identity." Di Renjie said to the middle-aged general on the side with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Dare you let Mr. Wei know that this general is Cheng Qianli, the general manager of Lujiang under King Liang of Jiangnan Road. Today, I am at your Majesty's order to be dispatched by the imperial envoy Di Renjie." Cheng Qianli came out of the crowd. Although he didn't know Di Renjie.
What exactly did he want to do, but he still came out and answered seriously.
"What, on His Majesty's orders? The army under the command of King Liang?" Wei Shouguang's expression changed, he pointed at Cheng Qianli and said, "You, you are talking nonsense. His Majesty is far away in Bashu, how could he order you? How could he issue an imperial edict?"
Wei Shouguang was not a fool. He came from a well-established family, so he naturally understood the rules of officialdom very well, and he immediately saw the problem.
"Haha, you are stupid, but you still don't believe it. Not only are you stupid, but your Guanzhong family are also stupid." Di Renjie suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Wei Shouguang and said, "Do you really think that His Majesty is in the land of Bashu at this moment?
?To tell you the truth, His Majesty is at the Lantian camp at the moment. You don’t even think about it. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful and the Tang army is invincible. How can the barbarians in the southwest be able to resist it? Qin Huaiyu has mastered the key points of military art and won the mantle of General Qin.
With the guidance of the great general and other famous generals, how could the Kunlun Town he was guarding be so easily breached? Humph, he was just a smoke spread by His Majesty's orders, just to confuse you guys. Humph.
, do you really think that since His Majesty has left Chang'an, you can do whatever you want? After killing important criminals, do you think His Majesty's imperial guards will not know about it? The reason why His Majesty has not started arresting you until now is because he is preparing to catch you all.
If it weren't for you, Wei Shouguang, how could we be here? How could we find out where the Pheasant Clan is? Of course, you cannot be blamed for this, Mr. Wei Shouguang, because your father has already confessed, not only the Pheasant Clan in front of us.
, as well as the remaining Baima Clan, Qingniu Clan, Wolf Clan and other clans that have colluded with the Guanzhong aristocratic families and killed people and looted goods on the Guanlong Road will all face the attack of the Tang army." Di Renjie smiled with a smile on his face.
, with a proud look on his face, as if everything was under his control...
Cheng Qianli on the other side was shocked. He looked at Di Renjie in surprise and thought to himself: "No wonder His Highness Prince Liang told us generals to stay away from the civil servants. It turns out that these civil servants are really scary. Although their force is not good, their mouth is really good."
Amazing, with a clever mouth, he can turn white into black and black into red. His ability to confuse right and wrong is indeed very powerful. He is also thick-skinned and dark-skinned. When did Wei Ting and others confess?
But what Di Renjie said seemed to be true. I'm afraid it was true. I don't know if the aliens he mentioned were really controlled by Webster. If there was no control, wouldn't this strategy be useless? Yes.
Well, Di Renjie didn't say Webster, but the Guanlong family. These grassland peoples who moved inland to the Guanlong Road are not related to the Guanlong family. Di Renjie is really terrible, even using this method,
It's so treacherous." When Cheng Qianli thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Di Renjie with strange eyes.
"You, you're talking nonsense." Wei Shouguang's face turned pale, and his heart was hit hard. It was obvious that he couldn't accept Di Renjie's words. What he didn't expect was that today, he didn't go to the Bashu land, and the so-called Kunlun Town was besieged.
, the danger is also fake, all this is to confuse the Guanlong family, let these Guanlong family see that the emperor is not in Chang'an City, the prince has just supervised the country, and has insufficient experience, and rashly attacks, but they can take the opportunity to kill Guanlong.
Catch all the aristocratic families in one fell swoop. What a cruel strategy. Wei Shouguang felt confused in front of his eyes.
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Di Renjie looked calm and sneered: "You and Wei Feng entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice when they were children, and killed Liu Hui and his son, as well as Wu Neng, the former Chang'an magistrate. After the incident, you
In order to avoid tracing, my father killed Wei Feng again. It’s just that you are his son, so he let you come to Guanlong Road to be with the aliens he had colluded with before. Hum, what’s even more disgusting is that you actually killed
He was the imperial envoy. How brave he is."
"I didn't kill him, my father ordered me to kill him." Wei Shouguang could not tell clearly at this moment whether Di Renjie's words were true or false, because everything Di Renjie said was true, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. In this way, he
There was no resistance left, so in desperation, he quickly told everything he knew.
"Yes or no, I will find out one by one." Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, secretly thinking that he made the right move. Wei Shouguang is different from Wei Ting, who is proficient in criminal law.
He is meticulous in his work. Even if he is caught, he will quibble and refuse to admit it. If Wei Shouguang was not his son, he would have silenced him long ago. Unfortunately, this is also his fatal factor. Wei Shouguang does not have any
As an experienced playboy, Di Renjie is still sure to get the news from his mouth.
"What about you?" Di Renjie glanced at Hulu Daru and said, "Did you also do this by yourselves by robbing merchants, killing people, and taking wealth? But you have to think clearly. If you do it on your own initiative, you will be confiscating your family and exterminating your clan.
Not to mention yourselves, your entire pheasant tribe will face the revenge of the Tang army."
"I don't dare to deceive you. We have no choice but to do this. We all grew up on the grassland. It is still possible to ride horses and herd, but it is impossible to harvest crops. Although the imperial court provides assistance, it is not possible to transport it to us.
There is not much left, and it is simply not enough for the whole clan. Therefore, Mr. Wei came to us and asked us to help them. Most of the money plundered on the Guanlong Road was given to Mr. Wei. He asked Mr. Wei to provide us with wine, meat and food.
Beauty." Huludalu rolled his eyes, thinking he had clearly heard the meaning of Di Renjie's words, and quickly lowered his head and said.
"Is there any evidence? You know, if you framed a court minister, your crime would be quite serious." Di Renjie's face was cold, and he held down the cold light sword with his right hand. Cheng Qianli on the side also flashed with cold light, staring at Huludalu.
Waiting for the other party's answer, as if if the other party says something wrong, he will be hit like a thunder...
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wei still has some documents here. The singers in the big tent are all given by Mr. Wei." Huludalu said quickly. He turned around and entered the tent. In a moment, he had more in his hands.
He received dozens of letters, obviously these were letters sent by Wei Ting. What he probably didn’t expect even if Wei Ting beat him to death was that these foreigners seemed careless, but they secretly kept the letters they exchanged. There are some
The letters were enough to kill Wei Ting two or three times.
"Bring it here." A hint of joy appeared on Di Renjie's face. With these letters, the dispatch of troops this time would be fair and justifiable, and no one would say anything else.
Di Renjie opened it and saw that it was indeed a letter written by Wei Ting to Huludalu. However, what surprised Di Renjie was that there were no letters from other Guanzhong aristocratic families in it.
"Is there just that much in here?" Di Renjie asked softly.
"Sir, there are only so many villains, and they have all been taken out." Huludalu said quickly. At this moment, his life is in the hands of others, how can Huludalu dare to hide it.
"I didn't expect His Majesty to be in the Lantian Camp." Wei Shouguang's face was ashen. He never thought that the Emperor would actually return to Guanzhong after playing a trick in Hanzhong, and the matter was done so secretly that no one was aware of it.
Knowing that, in this way, it is obvious that all of this is in the hands of the emperor. The funny thing is that both himself and his father thought that everything was done perfectly. What they didn't expect was that in the eyes of the emperor, everything was transparent.
, there is no secret at all. Just like a child showing off a machete in front of an adult, it is simply a joke. The other person can crush him to death with just a finger. Even Webster's century-old foundation has been ruined.
Already.
"You are a traitor." Wei Shouguang looked at Hulu Daru. The foreigner in front of him was not a good person. He actually had a trick in the dark. When did these foreigners become so cunning? Could it be?
Is it because you stay on Guanlong Road?
"You people can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty." Di Renjie glanced at Huludalu, murderous intent flashed through his eyes, but he quickly hid it, took his hand off the cold light sword, and pointed it at
The crowd snorted coldly: "Each person will be whipped twenty times first, and then taken to the camp to wait for the emperor to punish him. Come here, tie him up and give me a beating."
"Come here, tie him up and beat him up." Cheng Qianli no longer dared to look down on the weak scholar next to him. This guy was very insidious. First, he was severely whipped twenty times here, saying that he would be exempted from death, but would be punished with life.
It is difficult to escape. In fact, he did not promise anything. It is conceivable that these people were originally going to be beheaded, but Di Renjie needed them to identify Wei Ting now, so he spared his life for the time being, but in fact, he would be beheaded.
They pushed it to the emperor and made the emperor feel ashamed. The fate of these people was still death, but time passed backwards. Looking at the relaxed expressions of Huludalu and others, Cheng Qianli even sneered at the corner of his mouth. These people died.
At the end of the day, I still don’t know how I died.
"Mr. Wei, why don't you come with us for a while?" Di Renjie looked at Wei Shouguang not far away and said, "As long as you explain clearly and honestly, I will rely on your performance in the big tent just now.
, I will put in a few nice words for you in front of Your Majesty, maybe you won’t have to die, and even your Wei family won’t be exterminated.”
"Will something happen to my father?" Wei Shouguang's eyes flashed with hope. If Wei Ting doesn't die, nothing will happen to him, Wei Ting. Once Wei Ting dies, the Wei family will definitely decline.
"This officer doesn't know that Mr. Wei, according to the laws of the imperial court, even Mr. Wei cannot escape death. I see that you still have a trace of conscience in your heart, so I will intercede with your majesty. Do you still want to go to Longwang Shu?
?". Di Renjie snorted coldly: "As long as you are here, as long as your Wei family's empress is still in the harem, you Wei family still have the possibility to rise. But if none of you Wei family's exist, even if your empress still exists in the harem.
, I’m afraid there is no hope. Although Mr. Wei Tingwei is guilty, he is still a hero. As long as you explain clearly, Your Majesty will deal with it as appropriate. If you are wishful thinking, I am afraid that under His Majesty’s thunderous wrath, your Wei family will not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation.
"….
"Okay, Mr. Di, I'll give it to you." Wei Shouguang's face turned ashen and he sighed deeply. Colluding with foreigners is equivalent to communicating with foreign countries, even though the Pheasant Clan and other foreigners have been captured by Lu Zhaoci at this moment.
They conquered and moved all of them to the mainland, but from their living environment, it can be seen that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not treat these people very well, and was very wary of them. What's more, Wei Ting actually colluded with these foreigners on the Guanlong Road
I don’t know how many business travelers have died in the hands of these people. For more than ten years, Wei Ting has made tens of thousands of pounds a day by monopolizing the business travelers on Guanlong Road. Such crimes are enough to make Wei Ting die a hundred times.
Even the Wei family would be uprooted. Di Renjie agreed to keep one of the Wei family bloodline, which was already quite good. Wei Shouguang naturally understood this truth, and faced the soldiers around him, he could only agree.
"Does the entire Guanlong Road belong to your Webster family?" After a while, Di Renjie glanced at the document in his hand and asked with a frown.
"No." Wei Shouguang shook his head and said: "Although Wei's family has a big business and is famous in the Guanzhong family, it is still impossible to control a Guanlong Road. The entire Guanlong Road is owned by some big families.
What we have, Webster just takes up most of it because he stands on the bright side.”
"Is there any paperwork?" Di Renjie asked again.
"The villain doesn't know." Wei Shouguang shook his head and said, "Actually, although our several aristocratic families work together, we are also wary of each other."
Di Renjie nodded. He naturally knew about this kind of thing. This situation has been like this since ancient times. Although the aristocratic families cooperate with each other, in fact, they also monitor each other.
"General Cheng, it's up to you now. All the aliens along the way who are related to these lists and whose names are named will be killed." Di Renjie handed the list in his hand to Cheng Qianli.
"Lord Di, don't worry, the general will just obey his orders. Hum, these foreigners, the general has never dealt with foreigners. When your Majesty conquered the Turks, I will seize this opportunity this time. Thank you very much.
Master Di." Cheng Qianli couldn't help laughing. With a wave of his hand, he saw thousands of people from the large group of people following closely behind them, running towards the distance, obviously to attack and kill the foreigners along the way.
"Let's go back to Beijing." Di Renjie looked at the document in his hand with a smile on his face. This time he won a big victory, because with the document in his hand, he could help him solve the Chang'an case, and finally the prince's recommendation was not in vain.
Well. Of course, all of this must be approved by Lu Zhaoci. No one knows what the emperor is thinking in his heart, or a Chang'an Webster, or the entire Guanzhong family, but all of this is related to
Di Renjie doesn't have much to do with him anymore.
