The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 259
"As you guessed it."

Yan Qing looked at Wu Fang with resentment without fear, "I forged this account book."

Hearing this, Guo Youning's anger stagnated, and he looked at Yan Qing with suspicion and disapproval.

Wu Fang's expression was as expected, "I didn't expect that you would be so honest."

"I didn't expect Master Wu to be so honest."

Yan Qing pulled the corner of his lips lightly, "I originally thought that it would take some effort to get Mr. Wu to plead guilty."

"Confess?"

Wu Fang laughed sarcastically, "I just don't think there's any need to waste my words with you. It's still the same sentence, the ones who can condemn me are not you."

"If this is your trump card, then it really disappoints you."

Yan Qing withdrew his gaze from Wu Fang, walked to Yu Yaozong's side, and put the sword hanging on his waist on the table, "My lord, Qing will take over the case next, is it okay?"

Yu Yaozong glanced at the sword on the table, swept his gaze over Wu Fang and Guo Youning, got up and moved away, "Please."

"Thank you."

Yan Qing nodded slightly, sat down on the magistrate's seat, slapped the gavel, and sternly shouted, "Wu Fang, the master of Yangcheng, smuggled important supplies such as weapons, salt, and food, and illicitly communicated with foreigners to violate national security. Confess, I will rule on behalf of the Holy Majesty, arrest Wu Fang and his accomplices for treason, and kill them without pardon!"

The servants in the hall looked at Yu Yaozong, and followed Yu Yaozong to look at Guo Youning.

With a cold face, Guo Youning stared at Wu Fang for a while, then waved his hand to signal the yamen servant to do it.

But before the yamen servant could touch Wu Fang, Wu Fang, who had woken up, yelled angrily, "Presumptuous! You Yan Qing is only a border defense envoy, what qualifications do you have to rule on behalf of the emperor?!"

"Did you forget that before I became a defense envoy, I was still an imperial envoy sent by the Holy One."

Yan Qing sat in the middle of the hall, looking down at Wu Fang who was below the hall, "Enjoy the right to recall, appoint, and adjudicate officials below the fifth rank. You also have the right to kill first and then report to Beijing officials sent abroad."

"impossible!"

Wu Fang stared at Yan Qing viciously, "The last time you privately mobilized the troops of the Northwest United Defense Battalion, let alone attack the Qiang Kingdom, how could such a gentle and suspicious person give you such great power?!"

"It seems that your news is very poor."

Yan Qing signaled the yamen servants to tie Wu Fang up, while explaining to the people present, "Last time, the Holy Majesty's way of dealing with me was to equalize merits and demerits, and not pursue any other joint and several liabilities."

"Our Holy Majesty seems to be more magnanimous than you think."

Yan Qing mocked Wu Fang, and didn't intend to give him another chance to talk nonsense, "Pull it down, and ask to be killed at noon tomorrow!"

This time, the yamen servant acted quickly and pulled the cursing Wu Fang down. Without Wu Fang's cursing, the lobby suddenly became quiet.

Yan Qing said yes to Yu Yaozong for exceeding his authority, and Yu Yaozong waved his hands repeatedly, thanking her for eliminating harm for the people.

Only Guo Youning looked through the evidence presented to the government office without saying a word.

When Yan Qing asked him about Wu Fang's execution, Guo Youning showed the evidence in front of her and asked, "How many of these are fake?"

"These unnamed evidence are all false."

Yan Qing did not shy away from his falsification of evidence, but before Guo Youning's face completely darkened, he told him, "The evidence is false, but the content is true. Someone restored the destroyed evidence. The actual loot at the border, and the corroboration of the accomplices involved, is less than one percent off."

Guo Youning tightened his hands suddenly, and the stack of papers in his hand suddenly crumpled up, "Are you privately calling the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang?"

"I just reported the smuggling to the general under Master Hou."

Yan Qing replied, "As for the actual evidence, Lord Hou can personally ask your deputy general back then, the current guard of Jingcheng, General Qi Wei. He should already be waiting for you at the Hou Mansion."

"Choose to arrest people at this time, just to prepare Lord Hou mentally."

Yan Qing raised the sword and sliced ​​the evidence in Guo Youning's hand in half, "These fake evidence are just the tip of the iceberg. Those real things are even more unimaginable than those written on paper."

Guo Youning looked at her fixedly, "The last question, who is the person who helped you recover the evidence?"

"The one who recovered the evidence?"

Yan Qing repeated this sentence, looked up at Guo Youning, but finally shook his head, "Sorry, I promised her that I will not give her name. After all, this is not a good thing. Let the people behind Wu Fang know , her safety is not guaranteed."

"If there are no other questions, Qing will not bother you."

Seeing that Guo Youning hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Qing offered to leave, "The deadline is only a few days away, and I'll have to thank Lord Marquis for the execution of Wu Fang."

"Finally, Qing would like to persuade Lord Hou that betrayal by former friends is unacceptable, but it's better not to ask too clearly about some things."

After finishing speaking, Yan Qing bowed to Guo Youning and left the magistrate's yamen.

Guo Youning stood where he was, thinking about Yan Qing's last words, until Yu Yaozong called him a few times before he came back to his senses.

"Uncle Yu, do you think there are really people who don't care about the friendship for many years?"

Looking at the slumped Guo Youning, Yu Yaozong sighed, "That depends on whether he approached that person with the purpose of destroying him from the beginning."

"I don't believe he had such a purpose in the first place."

Guo Youning pursed his lips, and scenes of his youth kept reappearing in his mind, "Such a young man who takes his family and country as his own responsibility, has dazzling talents, but is low-key and restrained, and does not fight or grab..."

"People change."

Yu Yaozong reminded him, "People can pretend too."

Guo Youning still didn't want to believe it.

Yu Yaozong sighed and advised him, "The girl is right, why make everything so clear? Perhaps, it's just a person who has greed, that's all."

In the end, Guo Youning still didn't heed the advice of the two. After meeting Qi Wei, he went to the death row to meet Wu Fang for the last time.

No one knew what the two said, only that at noon the next day, on the execution platform, Guo Youning personally beheaded Wu Fang and his party's masterminds.

At this time, Yan Qing had left Yangcheng and was on his way to Mocheng.

"I thought you should keep him and catch Xu Xiangfeng behind him."

On the carriage, Guo Jia lifted the curtain and asked Yan Qing who was riding beside him, "You still don't believe what I said, and you still think Wu Fang has nothing to do with Xu Xiangfeng?"

"If you can't catch a fish, why bother?"

Yan Qing asked a question, and then said, "Wu Fang's abnormal frankness shows that he already knew that the people behind him would not catch him. What we can do at this time is to do everything possible before the person who planned all this reacts. Quickly destroy all his layouts."

"That's why you have to rush to Mocheng overnight?"

　This is Gageng's compensation for being owed too long...
