This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 149 If there is no torch in the world, I am the only light
The rebellion case of Xiao Yan, the Great General of Zhenbei, shocked countless people back then, and the entire Zhou Kingdom ushered in a reckoning.

Changes in the court, reshuffling of the forces of all parties, especially in the army, a bloody suppression was carried out, and the real powerful generals of the Zhenbei General faction were almost wiped out!
And this directly caused Zhou Guo to wither until now, because all the powerful generals died in that rebellion case.

This was almost the biggest rebellion case since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it happened and ended quickly, with only one day before and after.

The result was that General Zhenbei was beheaded by all the families and imprisoned the nine clans. This incident had a great impact at that time.

The charge given by the court was that General Zhenbei intended to attack the emperor and conspired to rebel, but the plan was leaked, and finally the court took one step ahead of time and directly executed him.

This case was determined more than 50 years ago.

And now Liu Heizi actually said that this was an unjust case?
Hearing Li Qing say that General Zhenbei was rebelling, Liu Heizi suddenly became a little excited, and said angrily: "The general didn't rebel! That's the dog emperor... the stigma placed on him by the late emperor!"

Liu Heizi almost cursed out loud.

But fortunately, he quickly swallowed the following words.

Then he calmed down a little, panted slightly, and said in a unwilling tone: "The general has acted in an upright manner throughout his life, and he has made great military exploits for the country, and he is even more loyal."

"If you want to rebel, you don't have to wait until the battle is over. He could have replaced the late emperor countless times!"

"After the war ended, the general surrendered his military power and returned home with his family. How could he rebel!"

After listening to Li Qing, he understood the general idea.

Isn't this just because of the high meritorious deeds, the emperor's usual method of hiding the bow and hiding the bird, and cooking the cunning rabbit with a dead dog.

As for surrendering military power?Handing over the military power will only die faster.

This General Zhenbei was obviously too straightforward, or believed too much in the emperor's benevolence and mercy, and the result was obvious.

As for why Li Qing understands so well... because he is the same now, and he has deeply held the hatred of Emperor Tianfu.

But the difference is that he doesn't have military power in his body, but only has a very high reputation, so although Emperor Tianfu is very unhappy with him, he will not take a big risk to get rid of him.

Because doing so will inevitably bring a stigma.

And scholars all over the world will also scold Zhou Guo, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are directly hostile to Zhou Guo, this is his reliance.

The reliance of Zhenbei General is military power.

If you hand over your military power, you will be nothing.

Liu Heizi continued to narrate at this time, and said with red eyes: "My general has served the country all his life, and even handed over the military power in the end, but he just brought the queen back to his hometown."

"It's just that, the first emperor cruelly killed my general, it's really narrow-minded!"

Liu Heizi gritted his teeth.

Li Qing didn't feel any problem at the beginning, but when he finished listening, he suddenly reacted and his eyes widened.

"You said... General Zhenbei abducted the queen?"

Li Qing looked at Liu Heizi and asked with a dull expression.

He felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

General Zhenbei abducted the queen? !

"That's right!"

Liu Heizi nodded heavily, and said with hatred: "The empress is the biological mother of His Majesty today. She was originally a daughter of an aristocratic family. She lived in the general's house since she was a child. She disguised herself as a man and went out to fight with the general."

"The two of them have a deep love as husband and wife, but later they were favored by the first emperor, and my general was forced to accept him as his queen while my general was fighting outside."

"Even so, my general never thought of rebelling. After the battle, he gave up his military power and secretly took the queen away, but the late emperor didn't let him go!"

"Suppressing Demon King, you come to judge the truth. Is my general wrong? Such unjust cases are simply appalling!"

Looking at the aggrieved Liu Heizi, Li Qing fell silent.

Due to the large amount of information, he couldn't tell whether it was the truth or a lie for a while, and he felt like he was following the script.

"Wait, let me take care of it."

Li Qing rubbed his temples with both hands, and then said with some uncertainty: "General Zhenbei and the queen are childhood sweethearts, and then the late emperor fell in love with the queen, and while General Zhenbei was fighting, he forced the queen into the palace as his queen."

"Then General Zhenbei finally gave up his military power and returned home with only the queen, but was charged with rebellion by the late emperor and executed."

"Is that right?"

Liu Heizi nodded emphatically, then knelt down again, and said sincerely, "We were the general's personal guards, and when the general died, we all kept our names incognito."

"We didn't dare to come out until the late emperor's funeral. We wanted to reverse the case for the general, but neither Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Punishment would accept it."

"For more than 50 years, we have never given up."

"Yesterday we had already visited Yushitai, but the adults on duty didn't agree to us."

"I'm sure the Demon Suppressing King will be my general Zhaoxue!"

As Liu Heizi said, he kowtowed heavily to Li Qing, his blood was bloody.

For so many years, they have been trying to avenge General Zhenbei and the brothers who died tragically in the rebellion case!

They should be national heroes!

Not a group of rebellious usurpers!
"Oh...let me think about it."

Li Qing rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a deep sense of helplessness in his heart, what kind of sadomasochistic love triangle love story between the emperor, the general and the queen?
The first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty can also be called a hero of a generation, but he actually killed a great general in order to rob a woman?

Li Qing didn't know what to say for a while.

But one thing to say is that this case does involve a lot.

The first is to involve the reputation of the first emperor.

Killing a general who conquered the territory of the Great Zhou on the grounds of unwarranted charges was really not the Mingjun's doing.

Secondly, that empress is also the biological mother of His Majesty, Emperor Tianfu. Although she has passed away long ago, it cannot be ignored.

Therefore, whether it is for the majesty of the royal family or the reputation of the first emperor and queen mother, it is impossible for the court to reverse the case.

Once this matter gets out.

The royal family of the Great Zhou will become the joke of the world!
But no matter how bloody the matter is, what the emperor did was wrong in this matter, morally and behaviorally wrong.

The queen was originally a childhood sweetheart with General Zhenbei, and the first emperor took advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied it. Isn't this what a villain did?
Even so, General Zhenbei endured it, waited until the battle was over, handed over his military power, and took the queen away.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is an unparalleled loyal minister.

This is the morality of the first emperor, and on the other hand, countless meritorious people were implicated in this case and died, and stars fell like rain.

The first emperor may also have fear of Zhenbei's own influence, after all, the opponent's prestige is extremely high.

For people like General Zhenbei, their own existence is the biggest threat. Even if they don't have military power, countless old ministries will respond when they raise their arms; they are also guests when they go to other countries.

Therefore, Li Qing guessed that the first emperor should have had the idea of ​​killing General Zhenbei long ago, and the Queen's matter was just a fuse.

Now that the matter has been clarified, Li Qing thought for a while and said to Liu Heizi: "This case is false and true, and this king still needs to investigate."

"If it's true, I, Yushitai, will definitely not just sit idly by and will definitely request His Majesty to overturn the case."

No matter how bloody the case was, as long as General Zhenbei did not really rebel, it would be a big mistake for the late Emperor to kill the opponent and still have so many generals.

As for the history of the case, Li Qing didn't care.

He only cares about whether it is right or not.

Because heroes like General Zhenbei were killed 50 years ago, what about the future?How many people will die unjustly like this?
If he doesn't stand up and speak out today, who will speak out for me in the future?
If no one is the torch,
Then I will be the only light!

Justice should not be concealed!
When Liu Heizi heard that Li Qing really responded, he raised his blood-stained forehead and said excitedly, "Thank you Town Demon King!"

"In my Great Zhou, there are great sages with righteous hearts like the King of Demons, and it is really a blessing for the tens of thousands of people in my Zhou Kingdom!"

With Li Qing's current status, there is absolutely no need to reverse an unjust case 50 years ago.

It is thankless, and it will offend the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even countless forces that contributed to the unjust case.

But Li Qing still chose to do this!
Except for his own general, Liu Heizi had never admired such a person so much, and Li Qing was almost a saint in his heart!

"Okay, get up, you go back first."

"You will know when there is a result."

Li Qing helped Liu Heizi up from the ground, and then healed his head injury with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Liu Heizi nodded gratefully, and then left Yushitai with great excitement.

Li Qing sat alone in the room and pondered for a long time.

Finally, a supervisory censor who was on duty in the yamen of Yushitai was called, and he ordered: "Go and call Sima Boyan, Kong Xiangde, and Wang Yan. I have something to call for them."

"Yes, my lord!"

The supervisory censor quickly responded.

Then Li Qing left Yushitai and headed towards the Dongchang headquarters not far from Yushitai's yamen.

He doesn't know whether the matter about General Zhenbei is true or not.

But it's easy to ask for proof.

That is to go to Wei Que.

Wei Que has been in the palace for more than [-] years, and he is an old man in the palace. There is nothing big or small in the palace that he doesn't know.

Like the unjust case more than 50 years ago, he must also know the inside story, so it is absolutely right to ask him.

The office of Dongchang is a black building.

From a distance, it looks like a monster, as if it wants to swallow everyone who enters its stomach, and from time to time there will be the screams of prisoners being tortured, which is creepy.

Originally, the streets in this area were quite prosperous, but since Dongchang chose the base camp here, the surrounding land prices have dropped rapidly.

Now no one dares to live in the surrounding area.

Li Qing walked towards the East Factory, and the two guards on duty at the gate saw him immediately, and immediately showed excitement and admiration.

"See the town demon king for the humble job!"

The two disciples knelt down and saluted Li Qing.

The fans of Dongchang are also eunuchs. Apart from the royal family and the emperor, they don't need to kneel.

However, Li Qing has the identity of a vassal king with a different surname, and it is also in accordance with the etiquette for them to kneel down. The most important thing is that they respect Li Qing.

"Where is Wei Que?"

Li Qing was not polite to them, and asked.

One of the fans said respectfully: "Reporting to the Demon King of the town, today another group of criminals in the child abduction case were arrested, and the governor is personally trying them."

"The king has something to look for him, let him come out for a while."

After Li Qing finished speaking, he walked into the East Factory with big strides, strolling in the garden, as if he was back to Yushitai or his own home.

For outsiders and officials, Dongchang, which is feared like a tiger and will not die or lose its skin after entering, is just a place where Li Qing can enter and exit at will.

……

The Dongchang dungeon is cold and damp.

In one of the cells, there were all kinds of strange torture instruments, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

A prisoner was tied to the rack, his mouth was gagged, his eyes were wide open, and he watched everything in front of him in horror.

Wei Que, who was dressed in a big red python robe, held a blunt knife in his hand and walked to the prisoner with a smile.

"My family, what I hate the most in this life are you child abductors, because Cao Laosan was abducted and sold into the palace."

"Fortunately, the old man Cao was blessed with a great life, he was cleansed and still alive, and he met a good master, that's why he is here today."

"So, our family is actually quite grateful to those people. After all, they sold Cao Laosan into the palace, and they gave him a way to survive."

"But you..."

With outstretched, slender white hands, Wei Que carefully cut off a piece of flesh from the prisoner's body bit by bit, and the smile on his face gradually became ferocious.

"You sew children and dog skins and bear skins together to make money, cut off tongues, goug out eyes and beg for money."

"That's not giving them any way to live."

"So tell me how our family should take care of you?"

While talking, Wei Que slowly cut off pieces of flesh from the prisoner, like a bloody show.

This kind of guy is what he hates the most in his life. Now that it is in his hands, how can he let it go so easily?
All punishments should be given to this kind of person.

The prisoner trembled from the pain, tears flowed, he couldn't stop shaking and rolled his eyes, and there was a foul smell coming out from below.

Wei Que didn't care about this at all, and continued to execute the sentence slowly, until the prisoner in front of him didn't have a piece of intact flesh and blood, and then stopped.

At this time, Wei Que's originally bright red python robe sleeves had turned a deep dark red, with a strong smell of blood.

"It's really inexperienced. I thought it would be tough, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't even survive the most basic punishment. It's a waste thing."

"Pour salt water and ask where the other accomplices are."

Wei Que reached out to wash his hands in the basin brought by a fan, and ordered with a blank face.

By the time he finished washing his hands, the clear water had turned into blood.

At this time, a fan hurried into the dungeon, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master, the demon king is here."

"Huh? The prince is here?!"

Wei Que was slightly startled, but then overjoyed.

He grabbed the cloth next to him and wiped it, then hurriedly walked out of the dungeon, throwing the prisoner aside.
