Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 115 Arresting Zhao Kui
At night, the east main gate of Datong.

The new general Zhao Kui is inspecting the defense of Dongzhengmen.A dozen soldiers followed behind him.

After going down the east main gate, Zhao Kui was stopped by a man.

This person was wearing a brocade suit—it was Lao Hu.

Zhao Kui hurriedly saluted: "The last general pays his respects to the superior!"

Lao Hu waved his hand: "Shen Zhao will be exempted from the ceremony! Our sixth master invites you to come over."

Zhao Kui said: "Dare to ask Liu Ye what will happen when he finds the end?"

Old Hu made up a lie: "Didn't your uncle Mr. Zhao Jianzhi die for the country? Our sixth master, as an imperial envoy, should naturally help Mr. Zhao's funeral. You are Mr. Zhao's only relative in Datong. What to do, Sixth Master wants to discuss with you."

Zhao Kui said respectfully: "Then I will trouble you to lead the way."

Lao Hu led Zhao Kui to the imperial envoy Xingyuan.He Liu has prepared a table of banquets.

"The last general pays homage to the sixth master!" Zhao Kui saluted.

He Liu made a "please" gesture: "General Zhao is the queen of Zhongliang, please sit down!"

Old Hu suddenly said: "General Zhao, drinking with the imperial envoy, why are you still wearing armor and a waist knife?"

Zhao Kui said apologetically, "The last general is so abrupt!"

After speaking, he took off his armor and his waist knife.

He Liu picked up the wine glass: "This first glass of wine is for Governor Zhao who died for the country!"

After speaking, He Liu drank it all.Zhao Kui was so touched that he was on the verge of tears: "The last general thanked Master Liu on behalf of uncle!"

He Liu raised his wine glass again: "This second glass of wine is for the two thousand brothers who died in the battle at Beipianmen, the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Battle of Datong!"

After He Liu finished drinking, he dropped the wine glass to the ground with a "pop"!

More than a dozen Jinyi guards poured into the dining room.Four shiny waist knives were placed on Zhao Kui's neck.

"Sixth Master, what do you mean?" Zhao Kui was terrified.

He Liuyi patted the table: "What do you mean? You opened the northern gate to the Tatars, causing Datong City to fall to the enemy within a day! Do you really want this imperial envoy to treat you with courtesy?"

Zhao Kui stammered and shouted: "My lord, why did you say that? This...this is a false accusation!"

He Liu sneered: "Framed? Come on! General Feng please!"

Feng Shen will walk into the dining room.His face was livid, and when he saw Zhao Kui, he immediately kicked him on the chest: "Zhao Kui! I call you your ancestor! Tens of thousands of colleagues lost their lives because of your adultery! Wait for the sixth master to find out." If the case is settled, I'll kill you!"

Zhao Kui quibbled, "Sixth Lord! It's not me who has had an affair with the Tatars! It's General Feng! He's the one who opened the city gates to the Tatars!"

He Liu smiled: "Oh? Is that so? General Feng, don't you want to avenge the dead Paoze? I will give you a stick of incense, so take revenge! Don't beat him to death! Follow the vine!"

Zhao Kui was surprised and angry: "He Liu! I am the fourth-rank military officer of the imperial court! I am the nephew of Zhongliang who died for the country! You can't treat me like this!"

Lao Hu sneered from the side: "A military officer of the fourth rank? Is it a bird in the eyes of our Jinyiwei North Town Fusi? Let alone you, a small fourth-rank military officer, the third-rank and second-rank officials that our Jinyiwei beat to death these years Too many to count!"

"Boom!" Feng Shen punched Zhao Kui in the face.

After a stick of incense, General Feng Shen beat Zhao Kui until his head was swollen like a pig's head.

He Liu waved his hand: "General Feng, please stop. Zhao Kui, let me ask you, who ordered you to secretly open the north side gate for the Tatars? Say it, and I can spare your death. Don't tell me, huh , Jin Yiwei's many instruments of torture can make you unable to live and die!"

Zhao Kui was still the most stubborn: "Master He! The last general has never done such a shameful thing!"

He Liu pulled out the Xiuchun knife from his waist with a "chuckle".He put the Xiuchun knife on Zhao Kui's neck: "Do you know what fried lung slices are? Lao Hu, explain to him!"

Old Hu smiled and said: "In our Jinyiwei, there is a corpse idiot, Mr. Zhao Twelve. He once told us that there are two lungs in a person. He opened his body with a knife, cut off a piece, and fried it until it was cooked." , Feed it to the tortured person, maybe the tortured person will grow a second lung the next day!"

Zhao Kui's face turned pale after hearing this.

He Liu asked: "Old Hu, Old Twelve said, where are you going to cut out the lungs?"

Lao Hu pretended to be contemplative, and said, "It seems to be from the first rib?"

He Liu pointed the Xiuchun knife at the first rib of Zhao Kui's right chest.

Zhao Kui almost cried out, "My lord! I've recruited! I opened the north gate for the Tatars!"

He Liu put away the embroidered spring knife: "Who ordered you to do this?"

Zhao Kui confessed: "My uncle Zhao Jianzhi asked me to do this! He asked me to take a few trusted brothers, wrap a white scarf around my right arm, and find an opportunity to secretly open the North Side Gate when the Tatars attacked the city. The Tartars will not kill me when they see the white scarf on my right arm. He also said: After finishing this matter, go to Xuanfu to find Lord Wang Tingshu! Lord Wang will protect you forever!"

He Liu and Lao Hu looked at each other: It seems that the new governor Wang Tingshu has something wrong with Zhao Jianzhi!

He Liu asked: "After the city was broken, your uncle Zhao Jianzhi used the method of 'death escape'. Where is he now?"

Zhao Kui shouted: "My lord, I really don't know! The Tatars captured Datong, and I went to Xuanfu. I really don't know if my uncle is dead or alive!"

Lao Hu suddenly covered his mouth and nose: "I said Zhao Kui, you are now a general in charge of the defense of the three sects of Datong. How can you be as timid as a mouse? You have been shitting before you have been sentenced to death. Out!"

He Liu ordered loudly: "Take care of Zhao Kui!"

General Feng Shen said: "Why didn't the sixth master hand him over to me? If you don't kill him, you won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart! I'm even more sorry for my dead brothers Paoze!"

He Liudao: "He is an important witness in the collaborating case, and he cannot be killed for the time being. Don't worry, I will ask the emperor to kill him alive when the collaborating case comes to light! Tens of thousands of people are killed because of a villain like him. Death on the battlefield! Sad and deplorable!"

General Feng said: "Master He, I have identified the traitor who stole the city gate. I will take my leave. I will go to the General Military Mansion to accept the responsibility for losing the North Gate."

He Liu shook his head: "The new commander-in-chief has not yet arrived. Governor Wang Tingshu is in charge of Datong's military affairs. This Zhao Kui was single-handedly selected by Governor Wang. You identified him. Can Governor Wang give you good fruit to eat? Let me point you out Where to go. Don’t you have friendship with Yang Shoubei of Zuoge’s [-]rd Battalion? He has now been promoted to Datong Guerrilla General, and concurrently serves as the general garrison of Zuoge’s [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd Battalions. You might as well hide your name and go to his men to eat food!”

General Feng Shen said: "Sixth Master, then I will leave! The world is vast, and there is always a place for a man to make contributions! The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet later!"

He Liu arched his hands and said, "Then there will be a period later."
