Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 504

Ye Chen turned around slowly, looking at the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army behind him who either looked ashen or angry, thinking that from the reactions of these people in front of him, it could be seen that Murong Yanzhao was in the Northwest The prestige in the big camp is far higher than what I and the intelligence department predicted before, but it is not ruled out that there are hidden members of the temple.And tonight, he had to see clearly, among the generals of the Northwest Camp standing in front of him... which ones would have doubts and hostility towards him?And who is the dark son of the church?

As for that Li Yanqun, although he was only a partial general in the Northwest Camp, because he had always been Murong Yanzhao's most trusted person, and he was also a general in the Northwest Frontier Army, so now he has a faint impression of the Northwest Camp's No. [-] general. The appearance of the two of them.Ye Chen said gently: "Li Pianjiang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

In Li Yanqun's mind, he was thinking about the cronies he sent out of the city, and when he would be able to get in touch with the subordinates he had arranged in the camp outside the city. Hearing this gentle question, his heart trembled, and he replied in grief: "The great general was unfortunately killed. It is very important to rely on the imperial envoy to make the decision, and I think that I should be asked to leave the city and return to the barracks to calm down the army and prevent the army from causing trouble."

It was Ye Chen who made the decision, but he kept saying that he wanted to leave the city for the reason of strengthening the morale of the army. As long as the generals of the Northwest Camp go out of the city and return to the army, with Li Yanqun's backup in the army, Da Lao will definitely be able to cause a large-scale mutiny.How could Ye Chen fail to understand the meaning of the other party's words, and nodded in appreciation, thinking that this person's status in the church should not be low.It's just that these generals of the Northwest Camp originally had suspicions and doubts about the Huaxia Weifu and themselves. At this time, they suddenly attacked Li Yanqun. No matter what the reason or excuse was, it would deepen the Northwest Camp's hatred of him and cause a wider mutiny .

It's just that Murong Yanzhao is dead, and if he wants to ensure that there will be no accidents in the Northwest Camp, even if he knows the truth of everything, there are some things that cannot be said in the open.And this case is always going to be investigated on the bright side, and then find a way to find out all the secrets that Li Yanqun and Shengtang may have hidden in the Northwest Frontier Army. Thinking of this, Ye Chen said lightly: "Unfortunately, the general was murdered by a traitor." Harmful. Once this news is spread, I am afraid that it will shock the government and the public, and it will also have a very bad influence on the people in the northwest. Regardless of the dignity of the court, it is only for the peace of the northwest border and to prevent the party and other ministries from taking advantage of it to cause trouble. It must be suppressed first... When the time is right, I will make it clear to the army."

Most of the generals thought about it for a while, and they nodded their heads, but Li Yanqun was the only one who complained and winked at the generals.If Ye Chen really dealt with it like this, the outside world would not know what happened in the general's mansion, and the internal and external information would be cut off. Looking at the attitude of the Gyeongju local government, I, the generals of the Northwest Camp, would not be able to see their soldiers, even if I have other backup arrangements in the army, but many generals in the army are not there, even if they mutiny, the effect is extremely limited, and it is even limited to small troubles.

Without giving Li Yanqun too much time to think, Ye Chen said coldly: "Generals, something like this happened tonight... Really..." His brows did not show any pretentious sadness, but rather self-deprecating helplessness, "We Don't let anyone get out of the relationship, you generals who have wronged you, just stay in the general's mansion first! We will talk about it after we find out the matter."

Order this.Waiting for the generals of the Northwest Camp to be temporarily placed under house arrest in disguise.Although the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army were dissatisfied, they had no reason or courage to oppose Ye Chen, a great god who would face Ye Chen for a while.

Immediately afterwards, it was natural to arrange the funeral of General Murong Yanzhao. Ye Chen stopped interfering, and stood aside watching the generals of the Northwest Camp grieving, but he would never allow that Li Yanqun to leave his family. line of sight.As for the purchase of things needed for the funeral, it can be postponed.

During this process, Ye Chen looked at this scene with cold eyes, and looked at Murong Yanzhao's body that had been carried to the bed. The prestige in the army is extremely high, which shows that he has indeed achieved the demeanor of a generation of famous generals in governing the army and fighting.

But such a famous general was killed by the temple just like that.

At this moment, Li Yanqun gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly, looked straight into Ye Chen's eyes without fear, and said, "I dare you, may I ask the imperial envoy to come to Qingzhou this time for our general?" The general guarded the northwest and made great contributions to the country. I really don’t know what crime the general committed. I’m afraid it’s because Gyeongju is remote. Your majesty and the imperial envoy were deceived by some villains.”

Ye Chen's gaze gradually turned cold.Naturally, Li Yanqun didn't say these words to him, but to other generals of the Northwest Frontier Army nearby.The intention couldn't be more obvious, that is, to make the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army believe that Ye Chen is the murderer behind Murong Yanzhao's death by clarifying his words.And the effect was really good. Many generals of the Northwest Frontier Army looked suspiciously at Ye Chen.

With Ye Chen's current aura and aura, ordinary people in his eyes couldn't bear it at all, and Li Yanqun's teeth were about to be gritted, so he insisted on finishing this sentence: "Please also ask the imperial envoy to investigate and deal with it in detail, and return me to the northwest The general of the army should be fair, otherwise, the [-] soldiers of our northwestern frontier army who have worked so hard to guard the border for the court will be chilled because of this incident...it will not be good."

Ye Chen was silent, just staring at Li Yanqun's eyes coldly.However, he did not expect that Li Yanqun was such a powerful character. The most important thing was that this person was not afraid of death. He was even begging for death. He forced Ye Chen to take him down, and even killed him, and then passed his own death. , aroused the hatred of Ye Chen from the general of the Northwest Frontier Army at the scene, it seems that this person must have another backer in the army outside the city.

"The holy hall is full of talents! I don't know the reason why he is not afraid of death for this matter." Ye Chen couldn't help thinking to himself.

There was a long silence, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, "Li Yanqun! I was just skeptical at first, but now I can finally be sure that you are the one who raised a private army and mobilized it outside Kaifeng to assassinate me, and when General Murong found out what you did After the incident, you killed General Murong in order to cover up your guilt, you are killing people to silence your words."

The crowd was in an uproar.

At this time, Li Yanqun said loudly with great grief: "If you want to commit a crime, why not say nothing? The general has been killed by you, and the Huaxia Weifu will frame me. I am afraid that after me, other people will be framed. You guys We will never be convinced to frame our northwest frontier army in this way. Now that the body of the general is not cold, the imperial envoy will do such a thing, which really makes us feel extremely chilled."

Ye Chen sneered and said, "You want evidence?"

Li Yanqun gritted his teeth, and said righteously: "Exactly, even beheading is only a scar the size of a bowl. It's unclear why he can't die."

Ye Chen looked at him and said: "That's right, I came to the northwest to investigate the case, but I have confirmed that the assassination outside Kaifeng City has nothing to do with General Murong, but the evidence points to someone next to the general. The person is you, of course, but you can rest assured that I will further investigate the evidence, and then hand you over to the court."

Li Yanqun's heart suddenly turned cold. What he wanted was to die now, so as to arouse the Northwest Front Army's hatred of Ye Chen to the greatest extent.If it is handed over to the imperial court, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Ye Chen said: "So, don't worry, I will let you and your accomplice confess for one night."

Thinking of the methods of the Torture Department of the Intelligence Department of the Xiawei Mansion in the legend, some generals of the Northwest Camp couldn't help feeling horrified. Li Yanqun stared at Ye Chen's eyes with tears in his eyes, and said fiercely: "My lord is going to torture you into a trick? Are you not afraid?"

"Cause mutiny?" Ye Chen said coldly, "With me here, how can I let you succeed."

Although he is confident, Ye Chen still has some worries in his heart. He doesn't know whether the arrangements outside the city can buy him enough time. He wants to clean up the northwest frontier army without causing major turmoil in the northwest of Song Kingdom. It is necessary to find out all the secrets of the temple lurking in the northwest frontier army before the city gate opens at dawn, and at the same time find those trustworthy generals in the northwest camp to appease the army outside the city.

Li Yanqun's expression changed several times, as if he was weighing the gains and losses and success or failure in this matter, but he was very clear that he must not let Ye Chen capture him alive, but he could not commit suicide either. It is best to let Ye Chen kill him. At the very least, the people from Huaxia Weifu should kill him.

A stern look flashed in Li Yanqun's eyes, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he said word by word: "My lord didn't come to Qingzhou to comfort the army, nor did he come to investigate the case but came to Qingzhou to kill people."

Ye Chen seemed to have seen what was going on in his heart, and said slowly: "If you dare to do something, you are really rebellious."

Li Yanqun suddenly stood up and said angrily: "It's him! He killed the general!"

Li Yanqun said miserably, smiling nervously: "There is no such a coincidence in the world. As soon as your chief envoy of the Huaxia Weifu arrived, the general killed Ye Chen innocently and tragically! You are so cruel that you have no proof. It is said that killing the pillar of the country indiscriminately, my life was saved by the general, and I will kill you to avenge the general."

As soon as the words fell, he slashed at Ye Chen's face with a palm!
Together with Li Yanqun, there were two generals of the Northwest Frontier Army next to them. Before they shot, they shouted: "Revenge for the General." They showed a shocking sense of tragedy and loyalty to General Murong.
