The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 114 Kill him, don't give me face!
Xu Xingsi immediately became angry and protested: "How can you deny the fact that the evidence is solid? These two matters have been revealed to the public, and the officials have personally intervened. If you deny it now, you are suspected of contempt for the officials and the court!"

Zhu Xiu looked calm: "Xu Du's words are serious. The Zhangyi Army is a vassal town of the imperial court. It accepts the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The whole army is composed of officials and court officials, soldiers and horses. They are loyal and guard the border for the country. How can they despise the authority of the emperor?" explain?"

Xu Xingsi was so angry that he patted the table repeatedly: "Then why don't you accept the official's order?"

Zhu Xiu spread his hands and said with a smile: "The decree says that Jiao Shuai and Xu Dushi should be asked to investigate these two matters. You two can just investigate, and we, the Zhangyi Army, will definitely cooperate with us! But Shi Jieshuai and I have not committed any unfounded charges." We will never admit it!”

Although Zhu Xiu was smiling, his tone was very cold and firm.

"You!~" Xu Xingsi's face turned blue with anger.

Xue Xiuming stood up and said angrily: "That day in Liangyuan County, you sent troops to capture Li Guangbo and imprisoned him in the back hall of the county government office. Then Li Guangbo died suddenly. There are many people who know about this. How dare you deny it? You set fire to it. I, the ancestral home of the Xue family, killed my wife, Mrs. Li, and I have paid every debt of blood, and we will live forever!"

Zhu Xiu glanced sideways at him and shook her chicken feather fan: "Mr. Xue should know better than me what the truth is about the death of Li Guangbo and Li! Mr. You have to be careful when traveling at night, lest you be killed by an unjust ghost!"

Xue Xiuming's eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how you try to sophistry, you can't cover up your guilt! The army will not let you go! Jiao Shuai and Xu Dushi will definitely uphold justice for the Xue family!"

Zhu Xiu sneered: "If Li Yiyin knew in the future that your brother-in-law dared to treat him like a monkey, he would be so angry that he might send someone to dig up your Xue family's ancestral grave!"

"Bastard!" Xue Xiuliang was furious, clenching his fists as if he wanted to rush over and beat him up.

Shi Lingyan and Bi Hongyu stood in front of Zhu Xiu.

Pei Jin was excited and worried at the same time. Zhu Xiu and the Xue brothers had a verbal spat and scolding, which sounded very satisfying and satisfying.

But he is also worried that if Shi Kuangwei and Zhang Yijun cannot survive this disaster safely and the Xue family succeeds in usurping power, Pei Jin will also end up in a miserable state when the liquidation comes.

Zhu Xiu signaled the two girls to step back, and said with a smile: "No need to worry, how can some people be allowed to bark in front of Jiao Shuai's tent? If anyone dares to do something in front of Jiao Shuai, they are not taking Jiao Shuai and Feng Xiangjun seriously. Got it!"

Jiao Jixun said calmly: "Each of you can sit quietly and don't make any mistakes!"

Xue Xiuming and Xue Xiuliang hurriedly apologized and sat down again.

Xue Xiuliang stared at Zhu Xiu fiercely with a pair of cannibalistic eyes.

Jiao Jixun said: "The Xue family is suing Shi Jieshuai and you for killing Li Guangbo and the Li family. Li Yiyin also petitioned the court to investigate the matter. You categorically deny it. Is there any evidence that can show that Shi Jieshuai and you have anything to do with it?" Is this irrelevant?"

Zhu Xiu flapped his chicken feather fan and said with a smile: "To be fair to Jiao Shuai, there is really no evidence. As the saying goes, don't do anything bad and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. We have a clear conscience! As for whether the Dingnan Army and Li Yiyin believe it or not, that is their own business. ”

Zhu Xiu looked nonchalant, while Jiao Jixun and Xu Xingsi looked at each other with confusion.

This guy is so confident. Could it be that he really has something to rely on?

Jiao Jixun frowned and asked: "The Zhangyi Army privately set up a salt factory to produce and sell salt. As a vassal town of the imperial court, it did not obey the laws of the country and secretly obtained salt profits. How do you explain this?"

Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "There is indeed a salt factory in the Yangjinchuan Valley in the northwest suburbs of Anding County. It collects salt and makes salt. But the charges of selling private salt, grabbing national salt profits, and openly violating the imperial laws are really a crime. No!"

Xue Xiuming said gloomily: "A few months ago, you harbored a group of salt dealers, took them under your command, sent people to Pizhou to contact the salt lords, and openly sold private salt for profit, and you said you didn't violate the ban?"

"Jiedu Mansion publicly distributed a large amount of free salt, what do you say?" Xue Xiuliang added anxiously.Zhu Xiu changed his hand to shake the chicken feather fan and said with a smile: "Yangjinchuan produces a lot of high-quality white salt, which is distributed to the people of this town for free. Why not? Jiedu Mansion didn't make a penny, how can it be counted? Profit? Mr. Xue said that I colluded with the salt dealers in Pizhou. Haha, what evidence is there? Did you catch me dealing with the salt dealers face to face, and both the person and the person got the stolen goods? Or were you just making assumptions out of thin air and slandering me? "

Xue Xiuliang said angrily: "You have a man named Bi Zhenhai who is a private salt dealer who travels to Jingyuan!"

Zhu Xiu was surprised and said: "Bi Zhenhai is the commander of our Zhangyi Ya Army. When did he become a private salt dealer? In front of Jiao Shuai's tent, there is another holy decree for this. Don't fabricate charges! Bi Zhenhai is from Anding County. You send people to visit nearby villages to find out who will identify him as a salt dealer?"

Xue Xiuliang was speechless as he felt an evil fire rushing straight to his forehead: "You and I... I'll kill you!~"

Xue Xiuliang pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and was about to rush towards Zhu Xiu.

Jiao Jixun's eyes sank, and he shouted: "How presumptuous!"

The two guards guarding the tent immediately rushed forward, knocked Xue Xiuliang down, and took away the weapons in his hands.

"Ouch~ How dare you use weapons in the Chinese army's tent? Do you still have officials and the court in your eyes? You should just forget that Xu Du is a dead man. Why don't you even take Jiao Shuai in your eyes? ?”

Zhu Xiu let out a strange cry, and sneered gloatingly: "Jiao Shuai, this person violated the military order, why not drag him out and chop him up, so as to break the military discipline!"

Jiao Jixun's face trembled slightly and he was speechless.

Xu Xingsi's hand twisting his beard shook and he pulled off a black beard. He grinned in pain and cursed Zhu Xiu in his heart for being cunning.

"Hehe~ The two Xue family members have been expelled from the Zhangyi Army and removed from all positions. They are not considered members of the Zhangyi Army! Jiao Shuai only kills, and there is no need to give face to Shi Jieshuai and me!" Zhu Xiu waved his hand generously.

Shi Lingyan burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth with both hands, his round black eyes looking innocent.

Pei Jin grasped the armrests of the chair with both hands, breathing rapidly, wishing that Jiao Jixun ordered Xue Xiuliang to be beheaded on the spot.

Xue Xiuming hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Foolish brother was reckless and did not understand the rules, so he collided with Commander Jiao! Please forgive Commander Jiao, please remember that he did not intentionally violate the military order and spare his life!"

Xue Xiuliang was pinned to the ground, his face pale and his eyes showing fear.

Jiao Jixun said in a deep voice: "Because you were impulsive and it was considered an unintentional mistake, we will not hold you responsible for the time being. You will be kicked out of the big tent and you will not be allowed to attend in the future!"

"Thank you Jiao Shuai for your forgiveness!" Xue Xiuliang trembled and prostrated, his legs were weak from fear.

Two guards grabbed his arms left and right and dragged him out of the big tent.

"Thank you Jiao Shuai for your mercy!" Xue Xiuming breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head in thanks.

Zhu Xiu smacked his lips and thought it was a pity.

It was only because of Xue Xiuliang's poor martial arts that he was knocked down by the guards in just a few strokes.

If his kung fu was better, his temper was hotter, and he hurt someone when he resisted, I'm afraid Jiao Jixun wouldn't be able to tolerate him.

　Congratulations on winning~
