Volume 10 Chapter 162

The handkerchief that Guo Jue took out was exactly the one that Tang Yin threw away after wiping his hands that day. Perhaps the supreme power can easily make people paralyzed. Tang Yin, who has always been cautious in doing things, was careless in this matter. TXT download.

This handkerchief can be regarded as ironclad evidence, so that Tang Yin can't find an excuse to shirk responsibility. Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, the generals shouted: "Guo Jue actually framed the king. It is extremely hateful and unforgivable. King, please order the execution of this thief!"

Tang Yin also wanted to kill Guo Jue, but it seemed too late to kill him at this time. He stared at Guo Jue with deep eyes, his mouth tightly closed, and said nothing.

Looking at the indignant generals around him, Guo Jue smiled leisurely and said, "Your Highness the Wind King can of course kill me and shut my mouth forever, but Your Highness the Wind King cannot shut everyone's mouth!"

"Guo Jue, you are about to die, and you are still talking nonsense..." Lv Wen grabbed Guo Jue's collar and shouted angrily with a flushed face.

Tang Yin, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly waved his hands and laughed. He said softly, "It seems that Lord Guo has found ironclad evidence. I can't deny it even if I want to! That's right! The shopkeeper's daughter was indeed killed by me. What do you think?"

Silence! The hall became quiet in an instant. Everyone present seemed to be enlightened at once. They didn't move, held their breath, and stared at Tang Yin blankly. No one expected that the king would admit this in public. Now things really became troublesome.

Guo Jue raised his head, looked at Tang Yin, and said word by word: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The king should also be punished according to the law. Killing someone should pay with his life, and debts should be paid back. It is only natural. The king killed a weak woman who was powerless, and he should be sentenced to death according to the law!"

Puff! Everyone present almost vomited blood. People didn't know whether to praise Guo Jue for being too smart or scold him for being too stupid. If he was stupid, he could find out the truth about Lai Fu Teahouse in less than a day. If he was smart, he actually said that he wanted to sentence the king to death. He was simply looking for death. At this time, many people even admired him. No matter what, the king could not be killed by him. This courage to fight against the stone with an egg was really commendable.

After hearing Guo Jue say that he should be sentenced to death, Tang Yin's smile did not increase or decrease. He was silent for a moment, and when his arm swayed slightly, a half-moon scimitar appeared in his palm. Then, he waved it outward, and the scimitar flew out, spinning in the air, and fell in front of Guo Jue.

Bang! The scimitar was nailed to the ground, humming and trembling. Tang Yin sat at the table and said calmly: "I am here. If you think I should be sentenced to death, then do it yourself!"

Guo Jue looked at the scimitar nailed in front of him. After a long time, he stretched out his hand and pulled the scimitar out of the ground with force. Then, holding the knife in both hands, he walked towards Tang Yin step by step.

Seeing that he really dared to take a knife to the king, the surrounding wind generals and soldiers could no longer turn a blind eye. Ah San and Ah Si took the lead and shouted: "Protect the king!" With the shouts of the two, the wind soldiers and generals blocked Tang Yin's table together and stopped Guo Jue.

Tang Yin frowned in dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "All of you move aside and let him come!" He really wanted to see how brave Guo Jue was, whether he really dared to chop his head with a knife.

The soldiers and generals looked at each other, and finally, under Tang Yin's cold eyes, they reluctantly retreated to both sides.

Guo Jue walked to Tang Yin's desk with a knife in front of everyone. After standing still, he hesitated for two seconds, and then respectfully put the scimitar on the desk, and said: "Your Highness Feng Wang is the king of a country. If he makes a mistake, he must be punished, but he must also keep his useful body. Therefore, according to the law, His Highness Feng Wang should use his hair instead of his head. This... please let Your Highness Feng Wang end it yourself!" While speaking, he pushed the scimitar on the desk in front of Tang Yin.

At that time, people paid attention to their hair and skin, which was given by their parents. For ordinary people, being cut off by a tyrant was a great shame, not to mention that Tang Yin was a noble prince, and in front of many Feng soldiers and generals.

Tang Yin really didn't expect Guo Jue to let him use his hair instead of his head. It was a bit unexpected. In his concept, hair was dispensable, and it made no difference whether it was cut off or not. However, he soon realized the importance of hair in this era. If he was cut off by a tyrant, it would be embarrassing.

Before Tang Yin could speak, the Feng generals on the left and right couldn't help it and shouted: "Guo Jue, don't go too far!"

Guo Jue ignored everyone and looked at Tang Yin without blinking. Obviously, Guo Jue was a stubborn man who would never give in, but if Tang Yin was asked to cut his hair in public, it would not only be a shame for him, but also a shame for the entire Feng country and even all the Feng people. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Seeing that the matter had progressed to this point, it was time for him to step in and solve it. Qiu Zhen stood up, walked to Tang Yin, bent down, and whispered: "My king, can we talk further?"

Now Tang Yin was most dissatisfied with Qiu Zhen. If it weren't for his advice, he would definitely not let Guo Jue be the city lord, let alone let him investigate the case. Now, after investigating and investigating, he finally found out that he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He lost face.

He turned his head and glared at Qiu Zhen fiercely, implying to ask him: What else do you have to say now? Qiu Zhen certainly understood Tang Yin's anger at this time. He pretended not to know and asked again: "My king, can we talk further?"

That is Qiu Zhen. If it had been anyone else, Tang Yin would have turned against him by now. He took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and walked behind the screen without saying anything.

Qiu Zhen followed quickly, then pulled Tang Yin's sleeve until he walked to the corner before stopping. Tang Yin shook his arm vigorously and asked, "Qiu Zhen, what do you want to say?"

"The king should accept Guo Jue's words, use his hair as a leader, and punish himself in public!" Qiu Zhen said in a low voice.

"Ha!" Tang Yin sneered and asked, "Did I hear you correctly? Don't you think I didn't lose enough face today?"

Qiu Zhen asked: "Does the king think that face is more important or the country in the world is more important?"

kindness? Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen strangely and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Qiu Zhen nodded and said: "That's right! If the king uses his hair as a head and punishes himself in public, it will indeed lose face, but doing so can win the hearts of others! No one can make mistakes without being a sage, and the king is no exception. . However, if the king can reflect on his mistakes after making a mistake and use self-punishment as punishment, the world will look at him with admiration. This is indeed a mistake, but it is also an opportunity. The king can definitely do it. Treat this matter as a play. The murder is the beginning of the play, and letting Guo Jue investigate the case is the process of the play. However, the result of the play is not for Guo Jue to see, but for the people of Wanfang City and all Mo people. , let people know that the king is a wise king who knows his mistakes and can correct them, and is not a cruel and unkind king like Shao Fang. Wouldn't this contrast between bright and dim give the king an advantage in winning people's hearts? ?”

After hearing what Qiu Zhen said in one breath, Tang Yin took a breath, rolled his eyes repeatedly, and after a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked in disbelief: "So, you had a premeditated plan?"

"Of course! How could Wei Chen let the king do something meaningless and self-humiliating?" Qiu Zhen said with a smile: "Even if Guo Jue hadn't been there at the beginning, Wei Chen would have sent someone else to find out the matter. However, with Guo Jue volunteering to come forward, the effect will naturally be greater. At the same time, it can also reveal a very important message to Mo Ren. The king is a man of merit, regardless of his background. Wise Lord, it will be convenient for me to attract talents from Mo country in the future.”

Tang Yin smiled and shook his head. What it meant to be scheming was clearly reflected in Qiu Zhen. Fortunately, Qiu Zhen was one of his own. If the enemy country had such a talent, it would be a serious problem for him.

"I understand. Isn't it just a haircut? I can still afford to lose face!" Tang Yin said with a relaxed expression.

Qiu Zhen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!" After a pause, he changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of Guo Jue, Your Majesty?"

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and murmured while thinking about it: "Although this person is talented, he is too rigid and does not know how to adapt."

Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "There are countless wise men in the world, but there are only a few wise men who dare to give direct advice, and there are even fewer who dare to risk their lives to give direct advice regardless of others' lives. Because of this, Guo Jue appears It’s so valuable.”

After thinking about Qiu Zhen's words carefully, Tang Yin nodded slowly, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.

"Wei Chen feels that the king cannot abandon Guo Jue because of his uprightness. On the contrary, he should be reused!" Qiu Zhen restrained his smile and said meaningfully: "Looking around our country's civil and military ministers, there are many talented generals and ministers. , but among them there are many who are smart and good at flattery, and there are only a few who are upright and dare to speak out against the emperor. I have often been thinking about it recently, if one day I can no longer accompany the king, then who among the ministers in the dynasty can be like me. Dare to contradict the king and correct the king's decision? It wasn't until Guo Jue appeared that I found the best candidate to succeed me."

Qiu Zhen's words made Tang Yin deeply moved. At the same time, it also provoked Lingling to shiver. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qiu Zhen's arm, and asked, "Why aren't you by my side?"

"Your Majesty, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune..." Qiu Zhen lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Tang Yin shrank into a ball as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He has long been accustomed to Qiu Zhen's company, and has long been accustomed to accepting Qiu Zhen's advice at critical moments. He never thought that one day Qiu Zhen would no longer be by his side.

Instinctively, he clasped Qiu Zhen's arm tighter and said sternly: "I never believe in the unpredictable situation of the sky and the misfortunes and fortunes of people. I only believe that man can defeat nature. Don't forget your promise to me. You You want to conquer a vast territory with me. You can’t go anywhere without my permission, and no one can take you away from me, not even the King of Heaven or the God of Death.
