Water Margin people

Chapter 1256 Trial (Part )

"General, this group of people seems to be heading towards Yanyun!"

The soldier looked at Hua Rong and said.

"These people even have BMWs from the Western Regions. It seems they are well prepared!"

Hua Rong looked at the enemies who were retreating with a very ugly face. He originally thought that some people just escaped from the battle, but he didn't expect that there were still people to respond.

Hua Rong led his soldiers and horses in hot pursuit.

"The enemy is catching up again, we must leave this baggage behind!"

Zhang Jun had just finished changing horses when he noticed that Hua Rong was leading his troops to pursue him even closer. He pointed at the carriage next to Qin Hui and said.

"But these..."

Qin Hui was very reluctant to part with it. These were all the money he had after completing transactions with merchants, totaling more than one million yuan.

"I can't care about that now!"

Zhang Jun didn't know what was in Qin Hui's carriages, but he definitely couldn't run fast with so much baggage.

"This...but..."

Qin Hui was also anxious, but seeing the enemies coming from behind, he had no choice but to do anything.

"Abandon it! Abandon it! Let's go!"

Qin Hui could only say this helplessly. If he was caught by the enemy, the money would also fall into the hands of the enemy, and he would still be in deep trouble. It would be better to leave, and there would be no chance of a comeback.

Qin Hui abandoned the baggage and followed Zhang Jun quickly northward, leaving only the entourage with the baggage looking stunned.

When Hua Rong led people to chase him, he only saw carriages blocking the road. The wheels of these carriages were chopped off by Zhang Jun and they could no longer move. The money in the carriages was scattered all over the floor, completely destroying the road. Blocked.

"hateful!"

Hua Rong was furious when he saw the cavalry retreating in the distance. It was already difficult for him to pursue them, but now that the enemy was lightly armed and had fast horses to help him, it was even more difficult for him to catch up.

Seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, the soldiers immediately controlled all the followers near the chariots and horses.

"Who are you? Who escaped?"

Hua Rong looked at the followers and asked.

"We are the entourage of Prime Minister Qin's house, and it is Prime Minister Qin and General Zhang Jun who are leaving!"

The followers quickly knelt down and said.

"These all belong to Qin Hui?"

Hua Rong asked again, pointing to the money on the ground.

"It was obtained from transactions between Prime Minister Qin and merchants from the Western Regions!"

The followers nodded and replied.

"Qin Hui! Zhang Jun!"

Hua Rong muttered these two names.

"General, what should we do?"

The soldiers looked at Hua Rong and asked.

"Pack these things and let's go back to Tokyo!"

Hua Rong ordered that they could no longer catch up with Qin Hui and Zhang Jun.

Tokyo Imperial Palace.

Sun Lei sat high on the dragon chair.

"This thing is uncomfortable!"

Sun Lei twisted his body and complained that this dragon chair was completely inferior to the one in Liangshan.

"Your Majesty, these are ancient products, and they are more symbolic than practical!"

Xiao Jiasui said that he knew Sun Lei didn't like face-saving projects and was a pragmatist.

"Chair, it doesn't matter if it's more ornate, but after all, it's for sitting on. It's so hard and you can't lean on it. If you sit straight for a day, your waist might break!"

Sun Lei patted the armrest of the dragon chair. Whether it was the carving or the wood, it was nothing to say, except that it was uncomfortable to sit on.

"Your Majesty, I can only give you a little cushion!"

Shi Qian held a few soft cushions and placed them behind Sun Lei.

"This is much more comfortable!"

Sun Lei said with satisfaction.

"Okay, bring everyone here!"

Sun Lei looked at everyone and said. "Bring people to the temple!"

Huang Xin yelled at the door, and the soldiers led Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others to the palace.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan looked tired at this time. Although they had not been tortured, they had not slept a full sleep in the past few days, which made them feel a little bit too much for them who were used to being pampered and well-fed.

Walking into the familiar hall, he looked up and saw Sun Lei sitting on the dragon chair. Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan both had complicated expressions on their faces, but they quickly lowered their heads. If they angered each other at this time, they would probably lose their lives.

"Everyone is almost here!"

Sun Lei looked at the people sitting below and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here!"

Xiao Jiasui said in a low voice.

"Then let's serve some appetizers first!"

Sun Lei nodded.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng quickly led several people into the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang shouted at the people who were brought into the palace. Those people were so frightened that their legs were paralyzed and they knelt on the ground.

"Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Chu."

Sun Lei looked at the list in his hand and read the names.

"You should know why I brought you here, right?"

Sun Lei asked, looking at the people kneeling below.

"We are not enemies of the King...the Great Emperor!"

After speaking to Sun Lei, several people looked at Zhao Ji next to them, hoping that Zhao Ji could save them.

"We are obviously smart people, why are we pretending to be stupid?"

Sun Lei sighed helplessly, looked at the list in his hand, and then looked at the thick memorial in front of him. He was speechless. The interrogation would take several days.

"Just read it directly. These people have done many evil things, and few of them are innocent!"

Sun Lei didn't bother to take the time to interrogate him, and directly asked people to read the charges.

"we do not have!"

Li Bangyan and others objected repeatedly. They had dozens of crimes, all of which could punish them.

"Why are you so tough-mouthed? If you confessed, you would be beheaded at most. Now I'm afraid you'll be cut in half, and if you deny it, you'll be quartered!"

"Those of you who have done all kinds of bad things should know that there are many kinds of death. Cutting in half is very painful. After the cut is done, you can even crawl a certain distance and be quartered by five horses..."

Sun Lei explained various criminal laws to several people.

"We didn't! No!"

Several people still denied it. How could they admit it? Sun Lei obviously wanted to judge them. If they admitted it, they would die. As for the way to die, they didn't want to choose. They just wanted to live.

“I won’t cry until I see the coffin!”

Sun Lei clicked on the desk in front of him, and Ma Lin immediately picked up a memorial and started reading it. Soldiers outside brought evidence.

"What else is there to quibble with? These will all be announced!"

Sun Lei looked at those people and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying that new officials do not count against old ones. Your Majesty has already taken Tokyo, so why bother us?"

When he saw the evidence of guilt in front of him, he did not deny it. Instead, he talked about softening.

"You mean someone comes to settle accounts with me?"

Sun Lei said with a cold expression.

"You are seeking death!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng stepped forward and used Fang Tian's painted halberd to suppress those people. What these people just said was completely cursing Qi.

"Your Majesty, we didn't mean that!"

Several people quickly explained.

"If you don't want to hear it, pull him out, publish the evidence, and execute him."

Sun Lei waved his hand and said, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng immediately called on the soldiers to pull those people out.

"next batch!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Fang and Guo Sheng and said, and the two immediately called the soldiers to bring the prisoners up.

Zhao Ji turned pale when he saw it. The group of officials he trusted just now could be said to have been promoted by him. Now Sun Lei presented evidence of guilt in front of him and executed them. This was a slap in his face.
