Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1178 Crime
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Wencheng's steps paused and he froze in place.

The soldiers who were watching the excitement turned around and saw Qin Prince Yuwen Ye, accompanied by the princess and several officials, and a large group of people walking towards them. His tall body looked particularly majestic in the sun, and he exuded an invisible, oppressive pressure.

These people were so frightened that they immediately shut their mouths and hurriedly retreated to both sides to make way for them.

Yuwen Ye then walked up step by step with Shang Ruyi and others. Although the words just now were said to Yuwen Cheng, he did not look at him. Instead, he first looked at the bronze door that was flashing a dim golden-green light in the sun, and then looked at Shan Tong'er, nodded gently, indicating that he had done a good job, and nodded to Cheng Qiao.

Finally, his eyes met Yuwen Cheng's angry look.

Compared to the other party who had just fought and was now panting with red eyes and looked a little embarrassed, he walked all the way with a solemn appearance, his hands behind his back and an indifferent look. Even if he did not look arrogant, in Yuwen Cheng's eyes he looked like he was making fun of himself.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, this is your man."

At this time, Shi Yutao also became a little nervous.

Just now, Yuwen Ye came over and looked at everyone, but never looked at him. This action seemed to him to be cutting off ties with him, which immediately made his heart beat fast. But before he could react, he heard Yuwen Ye said lightly: "Of course."

"...!"

Shi Yutao's heart almost skipped a beat. He was speechless and just stared at Yuwen Ye with wide eyes.

Hearing this, Yu Wencheng sneered: "It's good that he's your man."

"..."

"Your people attacked me, how should I explain this?"

"..."

"To murder the prince is the same crime as treason."

"..."

"Second brother, you have always been strict in disciplining the army, and you have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You must show me today."

Hearing this, Shi Yutao's face became a little stiff, and the soldiers around him looked at each other. Only then did they realize how big a disaster Shi Yutao had just caused, and they didn't know whether they, who had instigated the commotion, would be punished as well.

However, if Shi Yutao is really going to be punished, then how can those who surrendered have any chance of survival?
So, everyone frowned, held their breath and looked at Yuwen Ye.

How will he deal with it?

At this time, Shang Ruyi also frowned and looked at them - she was furious just now because Yuwen Cheng wanted to open the treasury, but now she realized that opening the treasury was a trivial matter. Shi Yutao fought with him, which was naturally a manifestation of the boy's bad temper and eagerness to make merit, which was understandable, but fighting with the King of Qi was indeed not a trivial matter. If Yuwen Cheng took it seriously, I am afraid he would really be charged with a serious crime.

And he had just surrendered. If Yuwen Ye did not protect him, the morale of the tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers would surely be in chaos, and even greater disasters might occur.

If you protect him...

How to protect?
At this time, Yuwen Ye slowly stepped forward and walked from Yuwen Cheng's side to the treasury in front, but did not go directly to the gate, but stopped in front of Shi Yutao.

He looked down at the young general who had just joined him. The latter lowered his head subconsciously, perhaps out of guilt or fear.

But Yuwen Ye was not looking at him, but at the axe in his hand. The clean and shiny axe head was flashing with cold light.

Yuwen Ye slowly turned around and said to Yuwen Cheng: "To murder the prince is considered treason."

Yuwen Cheng immediately said: "Not bad!"

Yuwen Ye asked: "Did he murder you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng immediately exploded and jumped up and said, "You just saw him hit me!"

Yuwen Ye said calmly: "I only saw that he followed my orders to guard the treasury and did not allow anyone else to set foot there."

Yu Wencheng narrowed his eyes, revealing a ferocious expression: "I, am 'someone else'?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Except father, everyone else is 'others'."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng's face froze immediately, and then Shang Ruyi also understood and stepped forward and said, "That's right, third brother, this treasury is an important place in the imperial city. Only the emperor's will can enter. Now that you brothers have conquered Luoyang, every palace, every blade of grass and every tree here belong to my Dasheng, all belong to my father, and this treasury is no exception."

After saying that, she looked forward and deliberately said, "Why haven't you put the seal on yet?"

When Shan Tong'er heard this, he immediately understood and said, "I was just about to ask someone to write a seal, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to come."

Shang Ruyi shook his head and said, "You kid, you should have guarded the treasury well. How could you let them fight? It's ok that General Xiaoshi didn't recognize the King of Qi, but why didn't you tell him?"

Shan Tong'er blinked his eyes and said, "Before I could say anything, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi took out the knife."

These words echoed the same idea, directly changing the crime of "murder" to "fighting". Shi Yutao did not murder the prince, but was trying to stop someone from breaking into the treasury.

Yuwen Ye turned to Shi Yutao and said, "You have done a great deed by guarding the treasury. When we return to Chang'an, I will ask my father for your credit."

Yu Wencheng's eyes widened in anger.

Yuwen Ye added: "But you shouldn't have fought the King of Qi without asking. Fortunately, the King of Qi was not injured. If your axe had a drop of blood on it, I would not be able to protect you. In the future, you must learn more about the rules in my army."

Shi Yutao lowered his head: "Yes."

Yuwen Ye said: "Now, let's go and plead guilty to the King of Qi."

Shi Yutao was still dissatisfied in his heart, but at this moment, no matter how dumb he was, he could tell that it was the King of Qin and his wife, as well as the nagging little bald man, who were trying to smooth things over for him. So he walked over, put the two axes on the ground, and bowed to Yuwen Cheng, "Your Highness, the King of Qi, I am sorry for not recognizing a great man."

After saying that, he pulled out two axes and turned away.

Yuwen Cheng was almost furious. He couldn't believe that he was a prince and had just been beaten up. The other party dared to send him off with just a few words.

So he said with a sullen face: "Second brother, is this how you treat your brothers?"

Yuwen Ye glanced at him calmly and said, "You and I are both leading troops in the army, and the army only cares about military achievements. Now that the battle in Luoyang has been successful, I will immediately write a report back to Chang'an to request credit for all the soldiers in the army."

After saying that, he took a step forward, looked down at his third brother, whose eyes flickered a little because of his approach, and said solemnly: "Do you want your name to be included in this battle report, or do you want to be charged with the crime of breaking into the treasury in the report?"
