Chapter 33 Flame is salvation, but also destruction
“Captain Tan!”
A captain couldn’t help but exclaimed, and several generals had tense muscles, and their right hands He had already touched the hilt of the sword and looked at Ying Chengyu with vigilant eyes.
Ying Chengyu turned a blind eye to this.
Let Tan Ming's body fall to the ground, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Deputy General Yang Hu!"
Yang Hu hurriedly stepped forward: "The general is here!"
Ying Chengyu took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Hu, and shouted in a serious voice: "This is the list of rebels."
"In the name of our military commander, I order you to immediately arrest and bring the traitors to justice, verify their identities, and execute them on the spot!"
Yang Hu suddenly handed over his hand: "Wei!"
Opening the bamboo slips, Yang Hu's eyes narrowed.
This bamboo slip was not the roster he had just given to Ying Chengxuan.
All the names listed by Yang Hu are on this list, but in addition to the names listed by Yang Hu, there are also the names of two captains and five 2500 masters!
Although these people did not take the initiative to help with suggestions, they were quite close to Tan Ming and others on the roster.
Considering that they did not meet the two criteria of actively plotting to harm Ying Chengxuan and being close to Fan Yuqi, Yang Hu did not write their names. Now Ying Chengxuan has added their names on his own.
Yang Hu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Was this the result of Ying Chengxuan's own investigation, or did Fan Yuqi really leave detailed records?
Ying Chengyu specially added these names. Is he trying to knock him?
Yang Hu didn't know, and had no time to think about it, so he could only shout angrily: "Here comes someone!"
Outside the tent, the soldiers of Yang Hu, Feng Ting and other generals were rushing. Enter.
Yang Hu looked at the generals and shouted in a deep voice: "Get them for me, General Wei Ou and Captain Qian Huang..."
Qian Huang looked at Yang Hu in shock: "Yang Hu, why do you want to arrest me?"
"General, I will be loyal to the Qin Dynasty!"
"Of course I will. Wrong, but what is the difference between what the last general did and what Yang Hu did?”
“The last general’s crime will not lead to death!”
I am afraid that Ou Fu and others will say something that should not be said. , Yang Hu solemnly ordered: "Do it quickly!"
Dozens of soldiers swarmed forward, and Qian Huang was thrown to the ground, with several strong soldiers on top of him.
Even so, Qian Huang was still trying his best to save himself: "Xiaowei Zhou, please say something to the general!"
"The general is just following orders, what's wrong? Really?”
“He, Yang Hu, is also following orders. How can he be appointed as deputy general over you?”
“It must be him who is eliminating dissidents!”
< br>
Captain Zhou Yan remained silent, but looked at Qian Huang being dragged out of the tent with complicated eyes.
Listening to Qian Huang's cry, it became farther and farther away until it turned into a scream.
"I am not convinced...Ah!!!"
Hearing the desperate cry, Yang Hu turned around and handed over his hand: "General, all the thieves above the rank of captain have been killed."< br>
"The last general will go to the army to thoroughly investigate the traitors and behead them to correct military regulations!"
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Glancing at Zhou Yan, Ying Chengyu spoke again: "I have been thinking about how to win this battle since the beginning of the expedition."
>
"However, tonight I have just realized that my greatest enemy is not in Zhao, but right next to me."
"Come here!"
An order. Next, ten soldiers entered the tent, each two carrying a bamboo basket filled with bamboo slips.
Five bamboo baskets fell heavily on the ground, making a dull collision sound, which also made the remaining generals in the tent tremble.
Walking to a bamboo basket, Ying Chengyu sighed softly: "General, I really can't imagine that the military of our Great Qin has become so bad!"
"The Great Qin Army Fang should be fighting for the Qin Dynasty and for the king, but this army has become a tool for some people to seek personal gain."
"This general is very shocked and very hurt."
Zhou Yan hesitated for a second between admitting his mistake and deceiving the past, and then he handed over his hand frankly: "I will be guilty in the end!"
Seeing Zhou Yan like this, others hurriedly handed over their hands: "The last general is guilty!"
Ying Chengyu ignored the generals and just picked up a bamboo slip from the bamboo basket.
Seeing Ying Chengyu's actions, Zhou Yan and other generals trembled in their hearts.
They were afraid that the bamboo slip contained evidence of their crimes!
Fortunately, Ying Chengyu threw the bamboo slips back into the bamboo basket again, and his voice became a little gentler: "But after thinking about it carefully, I can understand you all."
"As subordinates, it is military regulations to obey the general's orders."
"Even if you are dissatisfied with the general's orders, there is nothing you can do but obey the orders." "In the army, you are not in control of others. ”
Hearing the implication of Ying Chengyu’s words, Zhou Yan and other generals raised their heads one after another, looking at Ying Chengyu expectantly.
I saw Ying Chengyu beckoning: "Eight Masters, pour out all these bamboo slips."
Five baskets of bamboo slips were kicked down, and all the bamboo slips formed a hill in the tent.
Ying Chengyu picked up a torch and walked to the hill. He looked at each general with his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"The past is over."
" I will no longer investigate what the generals have done, nor report it to the court."
"I am only willing to work together with the generals and live up to the trust of the king!"
With a flick of his hand, the torch fell into the mountain of bamboo slips.
The dry bamboo slips were ignited by the flames, causing a trace of fire to rise and gradually spread to the entire bamboo slips mountain.
The hot fire swallowed up all the bamboo slips, swallowed up all the darkness and the past, and saved their lives!
The generals in the tent finally felt at ease, and sincerely raised their hands and shouted:
"General, thank you for your kindness!"
At this moment, everyone will return home!
......
At the same time, another torch was also thrown into the straw pile.
The dry straw was quickly ignited, creating a raging fire in an extreme amount of time.
The soaring fire was very conspicuous in the night, and a moment later a shrill roar sounded from the Tunliu County Office: "The water is leaking!"
"The back door is leaking, please come quickly!"
At the back door of the county government office, more than thirty soldiers with backpacks on their backs stood with their hands down.
It wasn't until he heard this shout that the Gua Fu ordered: "Disperse, move!"
While speaking, the Gua Fu ran to the side of the wall first.
Water and fire are merciless.
The yamen's thieves killer Cao and the county magistrate's nurse subconsciously rushed to the back door, neglecting to control the wall.
Coupled with the cover of night, Gua Fu was able to easily cross the wall and break into the scribe's office.
Finding the cabinet where the files were piled, the fortune teller took out a jar of strong fire oil from the basket on his back and poured it on the bamboo slips, then took out a flint and a fire sickle and struck it hard.
After several strikes, sparks splashed onto the fire oil, instantly igniting the flames.
Bamboo slips weighing thousands of kilograms are piled up together, and strong fire oil is used to fuel the combustion. Once a fire breaks out, the fire will be impossible to control.
In just over ten breaths, the flames rushed to the roof and stirred the wooden beams!
Guafu ran out of the scribe's office without hesitation and rushed towards the next office.
But just after the fortune teller lit the second yamen on fire, a sharp shout suddenly sounded: "A bunch of idiots, as stupid as deer and hogs!"
"Don't put out the fire, arrest people first! ”
Having just done something big, who can sleep?
Zhao Zhe stayed up all night and simply took Wang Nian to hold a candle and talk at night.
When the first fire broke out, Zhao Zhe thought it was just a fire caused by dry weather.
But when the second fire point appeared, Zhao Zhe keenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly went out to order Cao to get rid of the thief and find the thief.
Wang Nian frowned: "Shangguan, something is wrong!"
Zhao Zhe's brows were also furrowed enough to kill a fly. Hearing this, he nodded: "I also know Something’s wrong.”
“Although I have enemies in Tunliu County, I don’t have a big enemy that can make people put aside everything and attack the county government.” Big hatred should be restrained now.”
“The only person I can think of who can attack the county government tonight is Lord Chang’an!”
Wang Nian’s eyes were stunned: “ Lord Chang’an. ? "
"Now that the army has changed, it is not certain whether he can escape the attack by the army. How can he still have the time to attack the county government? "
Zhao Zhe's frown deepened: "Don't forget that Fan Yuqi died in Chang'an Lord's house without any explanation."
"Since Chang'an Lord can ambush and kill Fan Yuqi, he may not be unable to investigate." Break the chaos!”
Wang Nian thinks Zhao Zhe’s statement is ridiculous.
But this ridiculous idea is indeed the most likely possibility now. Wang Nian immediately asked: "What should I do?"
Zhao Zhe was silent for two seconds, turned around and went back to the house. Two long swords were removed from the wall.
He threw one of them to Wang Nian, pulled out one himself, stood at the door of the Yamen main hall with the sword, and said in a deep voice:
"It's just fighting!"
