Chapter 2929 Mutation, Murder [11]
this?
Indeed, everyone knows that Prince Wei and the Duke of Qin look alike, and when Gu was pregnant, Prince Wei was in the northeast plotting to seize Xinliu City. How could there be an affair between them?
Another point……
Prince Wei hated Mrs. Gu very much. He felt that Mrs. Gu was a poisonous woman who had bullied and controlled his cousin for many years and did not allow his cousin to have other women. He once wanted to kill Mrs. Gu to rescue the 'controlled' Duke of Qin.
Wei Xiao's dissatisfaction with the Gu family was known to all the Wei family officers and generals, and Meng Shanhu naturally knew it as well. Therefore, when Meng Shanhu made such a "joke" after Qin Guogong went on the expedition, he was clearly deliberately insulting people and wanted to provoke a dispute between the Wei Army and the Northwest Army!
However……
"You can't kill Meng Shanhu. Killing him will only make things worse." Ning Ji came out to speak, looked at Wei Xiao and said: "Prince Wei, I know you are very angry, why shouldn't I be angry with Meng Shanhu?" No gatekeeper? But Meng Shanhu really can't die... He should be punished severely. Your Majesty will issue another decree, stating that after this incident, whoever dares to spread rumors and slander the family members of military generals who fight for the imperial court will be beheaded to appease the generals' hearts. .”
After Ning Ji finished speaking, he looked at Wei Xiao and Wei Qi and asked, "Your Majesty, Prince Wei, what do you think of this method?"
Wei Qi was overjoyed: "Marquis Ning's method is very good, I'm sure...Brother Xiao, what do you think?"
Wei Xiao was angry when he heard this and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Uncle, why hasn't Gu Jinan come yet? This matter concerns the Gu family, and his brother should be present."
According to their plan, it was Gu Jinan who had the say to spare Meng Shanhu's life, so that Gu Jinli's reputation could be preserved and the generals of the Wei Army would not hate her and go against the Northwest Army.
But why was Gu Jinan so late? Let Ning Ji say good things!
"Deputy Commander Fan, why hasn't Lord Gu come yet? Why isn't Shangshu Feng here? Did the imperial guard you sent to invite people died on the way?!" Wei Xiao shouted towards the palace gate.
Deputy Commander Fan hurriedly replied: "Prince Wei, please calm down. The Royal Forest Army has already gone to invite people. It is estimated that the Criminal Department encountered a case, so it was delayed... General Mo will go and invite people in person now."
He quickly got up and went to the Criminal Department to find someone.
However, Ning Ji had already spoken before him. Even if Mr. Feng and Gu Jinan came there, it would be in vain.
Therefore, when Gu Jinan and the others arrived, they could only say: "The Gu family is a reasonable family and has no intention of murdering the generals. Since His Majesty has made the decision, the Gu family will definitely obey the order... but the punishment must be more severe, otherwise I'm afraid... We cannot kill this trend of spreading rumors and slandering the families of military generals. If this trend cannot be killed, it will damage the martial arts of the entire David Dynasty and chill the hearts of all military generals!"
It was so serious that Wei Qi could only agree to severe punishment. He asked insidiously: "Brother An, you are the elder brother of the Gu family. This eldest brother is like a father. How do you want to punish Meng Shanhu?"
Gu Jinan knew this was a trap, but as an older brother, he should protect his sisters, so he said without mercy: "Write a letter of apology, apologize to Qin and Gu's family, demote and fine them, give them thirty lashes, and then imprison them." Last three months.”
Three months was enough for Wei Xiao to find evidence of Huang Tongzhi and others' crimes, and to kill all the generals in Huang Tongzhi's line.
"Isn't it true that after being detained for three months, I have to spend the New Year in prison?" Mr. Wang frowned and said: "The rank of a general is earned through hard work. Demotion is already a heavy punishment, so it doesn't need to be detained for too long. How about just locking it up for a month and letting the Mengshan Tiger come out to celebrate the New Year?"
Lord Wang wanted to win over a general of the Wei family army, so he spoke for Meng Shanhu.
Ke Wei Xiao said: "No matter what, Meng Shanhu spread rumors and slandered me. If he were in the military camp, according to military law, I could kill him on the spot. Now he is only detained for three months. Is it difficult for Mr. Wang?"
This was said so harshly that Mr. Wang had no choice but to shut up.
Ning Ji came out to be the peacemaker again and said to Wei Qi: "Your Majesty, the things Meng Shanhu has committed can be big or small. If he is imprisoned for too short a time, he may do it again... Three months, let's He suffered a lot in prison and served as a warning to all the military commanders who were arrogant."
Only when Meng Shanhu is in prison can he use Meng Shanhu to commit murder and expand the contradiction between Wei Xiao, Qin Gu and Wei Qi.
Wei Qi said: "In that case, then do as Brother An said."
Then he asked: "Are you going to give those thirty lashes yourself, Brother An?"
Without waiting for Gu Jinan to speak, Wei Xiao said: "Gu Jinan doesn't need to go, Meng Shanhu has also slandered me, and I will personally go and punish him... In addition to thirty lashes, he will also be punished by amputation of his fingers to protect him." Royal majesty!”
Wei Qi could only agree to bring out all the royal majesty.
"Gu Jin'an, go back to the Criminal Department quickly and get the files on Meng Shanhu's case ready. I will go to the prison to torture him right now!" Wei Xiao ordered, bowed to Wei Qi, and then turned to leave.
Shuzi, he is becoming less and less of an emperor!
Wei Qi was very angry, turned around and stabbed Wei Xiao, and said to the ministers worriedly: "Brother Xiao has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. I am afraid that he will accidentally kill someone... Who among you dear friends will watch him?" "
No one wants this thankless job.
Ning Ji didn't want to, just because what he wanted to create was the murder case of "Wei Xiao killed Meng Shanhu"!
In the end, it was Zhou Huang who took over the matter: "I will go and see Prince Wei."
After Wei Qi nodded, he hurriedly caught up with Wei Xiao and went to the Tianlao together.
…
In the prison, Meng Shanhu was startled when he saw Wei Xiao coming, but he smiled again after seeing Zhou Huang and said: "Prince Wei, Marquis Zhou, if the general really knows that he is wrong, then it is just a joke. In the military camp, brothers are all such nonsense, and there are even more bastards than that... Change it, change it, the general will definitely change it. From now on, I will only make jokes about village women and widows, and I will never be disrespectful to your lady! "
Haha, Wei Xiao laughed angrily, pointed at Meng Shanhu and said to Zhou Huang: "For such a beast, it would be a mercy to kill him!"
Zhou Huang was also very angry and cursed Meng Shanhu: "Shut up, you ungrateful thing. If you dare to speak arrogantly again, I will chop you up with my own hands without Prince Wei!"
Then he said to the prison head: "Open the door, I am going to go in and beat him up!"
"Yes." The prison chief didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly opened the door.
Zhou Huang rushed in, pulled off the riding crop from his waist and beat Mengshan Tiger hard, making Mengshan Tiger scream in agony.
He thought of the tragic death of Zhou Huang's sister, and after realizing that Zhou Huang was really angry, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Marquis Zhou, I know that I was wrong, and I will never dare to talk frivolously about women again. Please spare me!"
boom!
Zhou Huang kicked Meng Shanhu over, gave him a smack, and said: "You have always been arrogant, but I can't believe your promise. Anyway, this is your last chance. If you do it again next time, no matter how you spread rumors or slander, Whoever it is, it’s all a word of death!”
so serious? !
Meng Shanhu was shocked and scolded Qin, Gu and Wei's family in his heart... wasn't it just a joke? Why did they bite him like a mad dog and wouldn't let go? They were so damn stingy!
