The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1020 The Price of Lies

How Zhou Zhi died at the beginning, Ma Long had some impressions. At that time, he remembered that Wen Yang was also there. Wen Yang seemed to have pleaded for Zhou Zhi. The generals were not familiar with each other, and Ma Long only said that everything should be done according to military law. Later, Sima Jun beheaded Zhou Zhi, which made Wenyang seem to have some opinions on him at the time, thinking that Ma Long would not save him if he saw death, impersonal.

In fact, Ma Long didn't have any opinion on Zhou Zhi. It was Sima Jun and not him who wanted to kill Zhou Zhi. As for what he said, Ma Long also believed that he was not wrong. Is there something wrong?
This incident passed quickly, and later Wen Yang led his troops to march west to Bingzhou. Among the Jin army, major events followed one after another, so naturally no one cared about Zhou Zhi's affairs.

What Ma Long didn't expect was that Zhou Zhi's family soldiers would block the way and call for grievances, and the timing of the choice was just when Yang Hu had just arrived. It was easy to get angry, so he said: "Yang Dudu, when King Ruyin cut Zhou Zhi, it was just after the defeat of Anguo. The entire army was almost wiped out, and in a fit of rage, Zhou Zhi was punished for delaying the war opportunity. This matter has long been settled, and Zhou Zhi did indeed delay the war opportunity. Under the circumstances, it is inevitable that the punishment will be heavier, and it is reasonable for Zhou Zhi to be beheaded. Time has passed, and it is useless to pursue it more, and the governor should enter the city earlier."

Yang Hu let out a sigh, and didn't get too entangled in the details, and ordered his soldiers to take Zhou Yi down, so that he could make arrangements, while he went into the city with Ma Long, and dismounted only when he arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

The banquet prepared by Ma Long was very sumptuous, with delicacies from mountains and seas, land and water, as long as they were officials in Yecheng, basically all attended. During the banquet, people kept toasting to Yang Hu as a celebration.

But Yang Hu seemed a little absent-minded, others thought that Yang Hu was exhausted from traveling and traveling, so the banquet quickly dissipated, and everyone who was interested left the governor's mansion one after another.

Yang Hu didn't rest either, but immediately ordered someone to bring Zhou Yi up, and said: "There are so many people in the daytime, some things are inconvenient to say, but now there are no outsiders here, so feel free to say what you have to say."

Zhou Yi looked around, and indeed there were only a few of Yang Hu's confidantes left, and he cried loudly: "Yang Dudu, my master was indeed killed by someone, and the person who killed him was General Pian He." Both." So Zhou Yi told Yang Hu the details at that time.

At that time, General He Jun was in charge of the pontoon bridge on the Zhanghe River. When Zhou Zhi led the grain transportation team to the Zhanghe River, the pontoon bridge broke down. It was precisely because of this day that Zhou Zhi delayed the military plane.When the pontoon bridge was repaired and Zhou Zhi led his troops across the Zhang River, he found out that Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin, was besieged in Anguo. Zhou Zhi only had some troops escorting food and grass, so he was unable to rescue the siege, so he had to send people overnight to report to the east and west. Malone and Wenyang on the road.

Later, Ma Long came in time and rescued Sima Jun, but after returning to the camp, Sima Jun was furious, thinking that Zhou Zhi had delayed the military plane and put the army in a desperate situation, so he sent someone to arrest Zhou Zhi. The damage caused the delay of the trip, and the partial general He Jun can testify.Unexpectedly, He Jun turned right and wrong, insisting that the damaged pontoon bridge had already been repaired, and Zhou Zhi's delay of the military plane had nothing to do with him.

Sima Jun listened to He Jun's words and did not investigate in detail at all, so he ordered Zhou Zhi to be pushed out of the gate and beheaded. Although Wen Yang tried his best to save Zhou Zhi's life, but Sima Jun was determined to kill, regardless of Wen Yang. Zhou Zhi's request was finally beheaded for public display.

Yang Hu listened quietly to Zhou Yi's narration, and it was true that He Jun couldn't escape Zhou Zhi's matter. If he hadn't lied, Sima Jun would have no reason to kill him. It can be said that He Jun was right Zhou Zhi's death bears an irresistible responsibility.

On the surface, it was true, if He Jun hadn't lied, Sima Jun wouldn't have been able to find Zhou Zhi's fault.But in fact, Yang Hu knew very well that Sima Jun was [-]% responsible for Zhou Zhi's death. Zhou Zhi and Yang Hu were related, and Sima Jun must have known this. Hu's hatred was transferred to Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi's death was not surprising.

Yang Hu secretly sighed, the narrow-minded Sima Jun has always been at odds with him, since he replaced him as the governor of rebellion, it has intensified, Zhou Zhi, Chen Yuan and other generals who have a good relationship with him have all been punished. Belittled, Zhou Zhi's Zhengyin pioneer was also deprived, and he was sent to be a grain guard, and he seized the slightest opportunity to punish him to death. Then next time he might not have the same chance.

But Yang Hu had no chance to seek revenge from Sima Jun. Sima Jun was defeated and captured, and became a prisoner of the Shu people, but if Sima Jun had not been captured, Yang Hu would have nothing to do with him. Sima Jun holds the power of life and death, whoever lives and who dies is just a matter of his one thought.

If Yang Hu wanted revenge, he could only find General He Jun.

Yang Hu immediately sent people to investigate. Who lied about Zhou Zhi's delay of the military plane?In fact, this matter is very simple. There are many parties involved around the pontoon bridge. As long as some of them are summoned, the truth will be clear at a glance.Yang Hu sent people to secretly investigate this time, and quickly grasped the truth.

The next day, when Yang Hu was promoted to general, his face suddenly changed, which made He Jun be taken down.

He Jun was taken aback, and quickly asked him what he was guilty of. Yang Hu sneered, threw the confessions of many Shu soldiers at He Jun's feet, and angrily said: "Convert right and wrong, frame your colleagues, what else do you have to say?"

He Jun's face suddenly turned pale. Zhou Zhi's matter had always been a big stone in his heart. In order to avoid guilt, he lied against his will and caused Zhou Zhi to be killed. In fact, he has always felt guilty in his heart because he knew Well, there is a price to pay for lying, even if you don't report it now, you won't be able to escape the judgment of fate in the future.

It's just that He Jun didn't expect that this trial would come so quickly. Yang Hu had just returned, and this was the first thing to be arrested. He Jun saw that Yang Hu had grasped all his criminal evidence, and he collapsed to the ground at once. up.
