Chapter 21 Chapter 21
The next morning, when Di Gongsheng heard the case, hundreds of people flocked into the hall.The news of Ni Qizheng's imprisonment spread like wildfire, and the rumors of the arrest of the leader of the Fanhu became more and more bizarre. Naturally, more people came to see the trial.
Di Gong looked around at the audience in the corridor and veranda, thinking about how to start the trial.Di Gong thought to himself, Ni Qi has always been scheming and used to manipulating behind the scenes. Once this kind of people reveal their true colors, they often collapse immediately mentally.
Di Gong pulled out the fire stick and threw it on the ground, and the squad leader led the order to go to the prison to arrest him.
Ni Qi knelt down on the stone floor in front of the hall.As expected, Ni Qi looked completely different overnight.The airy and carefree look of the past has long since disappeared, leaving only a pitiful, half-dead look.This is really a cat is as powerful as a tiger when it is in power, and a phoenix is not as powerful as a chicken when it is losing power!
Di Gongdao: "The criminal Ni Qi, the trial has already started in court yesterday, there is no need to repeat the court rules again today, you will confess your crimes in detail!"
Ni Qi raised his head slowly, and said in a low voice: "Master, a person has no hope in this life, and the next life will be the same. Why don't you explain the truth of the case clearly! My father has a grudge against me, so I naturally know it. Although I am afraid He has three points, but he also has resentment towards him. As early as when I was studying in the school, I swore to be a person above others. My father is an official, and although he is above ten thousand people, he is still under a few people. But I want to beat him, and I am determined to become the supreme leader! Over the years, I have painstakingly scrutinized the situation in western Xinjiang. First, Lanfang is located in a remote area, and Chang'an can't reach it; second, the interior of Fanhu in Hexi The tribes are divided, and the open and secret struggles among the tribes are intensifying. Therefore, I believe that if one or more of them are lured to huge profits, and I use my three-inch tongue to unite horizontally and vertically, there will be no worries about thousands of soldiers Hu Yong returning to me. Once the time is right, I can use them to take down Lanfang and use it as my capital to establish an independent kingdom that spans the borders of Hu and Han. After I am done, I will verbally agree to bow down to the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, I will borrow from Chang'an The bargaining opportunity delayed the time, and lured the leaders of the other tribes in Hexi with high-ranking officials and generous salaries. One by one, he defected to me, and gradually expanded the territory westward. When I have a firm foothold and plump feathers, how can the Tang Dynasty do anything to me? ?”
Ni Qi sighed, and said: "I am confident that I have external talents, internal ability and overall situation, and I am familiar with the Tang Dynasty's government, but I don't know much about military strategies. If you want to become an emperor, these three things are indispensable. I Thinking about Qian Mou being in the middle, he can make up for the side and remedy the disadvantages, so I decided to use his bravery to pursue my great cause. I first encouraged him to dominate in Lanfang, and then taught him how to deal with the government in power. This move is exactly what he wanted , he was very grateful, and naturally obeyed me. Qian Mou is a martial artist. Although he is a little clever, he can't become an emperor. I just use his every move in Lanfang to observe the movement of the court, and use his strength as a way to win over Hu Bing The reason why I want to enlist Hu Bing to help me is firstly because Qian Mou has already controlled Lanfang, but if he openly confronts the imperial court, his few troops will not be of much use; Che will not be willing to work for me and embrace me as king.
"Everything is going well. The imperial court has done nothing to Qian Mou's perverse actions here. Therefore, I decided to act according to the plan, colluding with Fanhu, and discussing big plans. At this time, Pan County Magistrate came to Lanfang to take office, and I wrote to Fanhu The leader's secret letter fell into his hands unexpectedly. I didn't want to ruin his life, but because the case was serious and you could die, I had to do it. I ordered Urgin to lure him out of the city and ended up with his life. Qian Mou learned that I Killing the county magistrate, I was afraid that the court would ask the teacher to punish me, so I was furious. I made a clever arrangement and taught him the method of hiding the sky and crossing the sea. It really worked, and the turmoil subsided.
"Afterwards, I lobbied among the leaders of the various tribes, donated a lot of money, promised a lot of profits, and finally united the three groups of people. The two parties agreed that as long as I give an order, they will go to this city to plan great things together. But since After Pan County Magistrate was murdered, Qian Mou knew that I wanted to be the emperor, and he was very dissatisfied. I promised to make him the general of Zhenguo, but he still refused. But at this time, I have Hu Bing as my backing , he didn't dare to do anything to me, besides, the fate of the two of us has already been linked, and I'm not afraid of him going to the government to sue me. But with him as a hindrance, the date of my incident will be delayed for a long time.
"The border guards came to Lanfang with the master, arrested Qian Mou, and his subordinates also fell and scattered. After he was arrested, the stumbling block to my rebellion naturally disappeared, but I was afraid that he would die in despair. Bite me, so I had the idea of running away for a while. After thinking about it again, I realized that it is not a last resort, so I can’t act like this. If so, the plan I have worked hard for many years will be in vain and ruined. Later I heard that he has been in a coma, He died in prison without a word of confession, so he was relieved. But he was still worried that someone would leak the news, and he was even more afraid that the army of the brigade would come to Lanfang for a permanent residence in the near future, so he decided not to do it. The army has no defenses, so they act quickly and start an incident immediately. After contacting inside and outside Urgin, the Hu soldiers of the three groups will be stationed in the western suburbs of the city tonight. When they see the fire on the watchtower of Qian Mou's mansion, they will forcibly cross the boundary river and enter the city through the water gate. Unexpectedly, the master My ingenuity and ingenious calculations made me strike first, which made me fall short. I have been captured now, but I hope to die early, so I can save myself a lot of troubles."
Looking at the corridors and verandahs, there was a lot of discussion, and it was fortunate that the people in the city were spared a catastrophe.
Di Gong shouted "Quiet", then asked Ni Qi: "How many troops does Hu Bing have?"
"Three hundred infantry, one thousand cavalry."
"What is the responsibility of the three shopkeepers?"
"I try to hide as much as possible on weekdays, so I didn't meet them. I just ordered Urgin's camera to collect more than a dozen desperadoes from our workshop to meet Hu Bing tonight and lead them to capture the county government office and the four major city gates. If the master asks Urgin knows the truth."
Di Gong ordered the book office to read the confession again.After hearing this, Ni Qi put a charge on the confession form.
Di Gonggong said: "The perpetrator, Ni Qi, conspired to rebel and committed a capital crime. According to the criminal law, he must be sentenced to death, or to be sentenced to death. This county will read you and don't call yourself. I will prepare a document and ask the government to complete your whole body." , how to deal with it, Chang'an has his own decision."
Officer, this punishment and Ling Chi are both tortures.Divide the body by five horses or five oxen, tie the criminal's head and limbs with five horses or five oxen, and separate the body.Ling Chi, also known as the death sentence, is imposed on those who plot rebellion, kill kings and husbands.First slowly separate the limb muscles of the prisoner, and then the neck and neck.Prisoners who received these two punishments not only died painfully, but they would not have had a whole body.
After the guard escorted Ni Qi out of the hall, Mr. Di said to the people watching the trial: "The sky net has been restored, and the sun and the moon are shining. So far, the county has wiped out all the thieves. Tonight, if the Hu soldiers don't see the signal from the watch tower, they dare not rush into the army. But everything is well prepared, so the county still ordered to be on guard to prevent accidents. You should panic, go back and do your own thing, and follow the arrangements of each Fangzheng and Lijia. My Lanfang has high walls and thick walls, as solid as gold, and is also a military and civilian Concentrate on one mind and wait for work with ease, and you will be able to win the many with the few, and the strong with the weak. Besides, most of the Hu soldiers were deceived by Ni Qi, and once they wake up, they will never work for him!"
When everyone in the hall heard the words, they burst into cheers.
Mr. Di slapped the gavel and declared, "Now the trial of Ding Huguo's murder is underway!"
Di Gong dropped another fire stick, the team leader took it, and the second servant rushed to the prison to pick him up.
Wu Feng knelt on the slate floor in front of the case, and Di Gong took out a cardboard box from his sleeve, pushed it out of the table, and dropped it in front of Wu Feng.This box was found from Ding Huguo's sleeve, and the corner bitten by the black rat has already been repaired as new.Wu Feng looked down, wondering.
Di Gong asked: "Wu Feng, have you ever seen this box?"
Wu Feng raised his head and replied: "Master, this kind of paper box is for the store to sell candied fruit. There are hundreds of thousands of them in the market beside the Drum Tower. I might even buy one and try it out. Although I have seen it countless times, I have never seen this one on the ground. Judging from the longevity character on the box cover, this is a gift for someone's birthday."
Di Gongdao: "This box is indeed a birthday gift. It contains sweet and fragrant dates. I wonder if you would like to taste it?"
Wu Feng was puzzled, glanced at Di Gong, and said: "Thank you, Master, for the reward, Wu Feng obeyed!" Then he opened the lid of the box, and saw nine candied dates neatly arranged on the white paper, he pressed it with his index finger, and picked one. Put it softly into the mouth, eat the pulp, spit out the core on the ground, and asked: "This candied date is delicious, I want to try another one, I wonder if the master will allow it?"
Di Gong said coldly: "Hugh is so talkative, you step back and stand aside!"
Wu Feng stood up, looked around the hall servants, saw no one was arresting him, so he stepped back a few steps and stood still, raised his eyes to look at Di Gong, just wondering.
Di Gong shouted: "Take Ding Yi to the court!"
Ding Xiucai knelt before the case, and Di Gong said: "Ding Yi, who was the victim of your father? The county has investigated and found out. The case is very complicated, and the county does not pretend to have distinguished all the details. Chu, although more than one person wanted to kill him, and there were more than one method, but it is absolutely true. Today's class only discusses the method of successful killing, and ignores the rest. Because Wu Feng has nothing to do with this case, the county Dismiss your original complaint, and end the lawsuit between Ding and Wu."
The people watching the trial in the verandah were all surprised when they heard the words, they all whispered to each other and whispered privately.Ding Xiucai remained silent and did not accuse Wu Feng again.
Seeing this, Wu Feng interjected: "Thank you, Master Zhuo Cai, for washing Wu Feng's grievances in the bottom of the sea. Since ancient times, a black cat steals greed, and a white cat cannot suffer disaster. I, Wu Feng, have done well and acted rightly. Afraid of slander from villains!" After speaking, he gave Ding Yi a stare.Turning to the public case again, he asked Di Gongdao. "But I don't know if the master has ever found Bai Lan's whereabouts?"
Before Di Gong could speak, he just shook his head, while Wu Feng turned around and separated from the crowd, and hurried to the gate of the court.
Di Gong ignored it, took a tube of red lacquer wolf hair from the public case, and ordered Ding Xiucai: "Ding Yi, get up and look at this tube of wolf hair, and tell the county about its origin!" The pen tube was hollow and faced Ding Xiucai directly.
Ding Xiucai couldn't help being surprised when he saw the object, took it from Di Gong's hand, turned the pen to himself, looked down at the writing on the pen tube, nodded and said: "Master, I just remembered the small characters carved on the pen tube. Yes. A few years ago, my father once showed Xiaosheng the precious jade in his collection. He also took out this tube of wolf hair to open Xiaosheng’s eyes. He said that this object was a generous gift from a friend who congratulated him on his 60th birthday in advance. But he never gave the name of this person, only said that this person felt that his life was over, so he gave him this birthday gift in advance. My father regarded this gift as a priceless treasure, and after showing it to Xiaosheng, he locked it with all kinds of toys he had hidden In the original box, it was not taken out until the day of celebrating the 60th birthday to write the preface to his book "Frontier Frontier Wind and Cloud".
Di Gong said grimly: "This tube of wolf hair is the murderous thing that killed your father!"
Ding Xiucai looked at the brush in his hand again and again, but he was puzzled, and looked at the hollow pen barrel for a long time, still shaking his head again and again.
Ding Xiucai's every move, Di Gong, saw Ding Xiucai shaking his head, asked for the brush, and said, "Let this county do it for you." Di Gong took out a small wooden stick from his sleeve, held it high in his hand and let Everyone said: "Ding Huguo died from a small dagger stuck in his throat. This small wooden stick was imitated according to the shape of this dagger. Now insert it into the hollow pen tube."
The small wooden stick is neither thick nor thin and can be inserted, but because it is much longer than the real thing, it is stuck when it is inserted about two inches.Di Gong handed the pen to Ma Rong, and ordered: "Press down the wooden stick, straighten your arms, and quickly remove the fingers that are pressing the wooden stick!"
As soon as Ma Rong did it, as soon as he moved his finger away, the wooden stick flew out of the pen barrel more than three feet high and fell to the ground.
Di Gong calmly said: "This tube of wolf hair is actually a clever murder weapon. A spring is pressed in the hollow pen tube, and it is fixed with rosin, and then a small dagger is inserted into the pen tube." Di Gong opened a small box, Carefully took out the small dagger, and said: "This round handle can be inserted into the pen tube, and the curved blade is also close to the wall of the tube, so that the small dagger can neither fall out nor be seen from the outside.
"Someone gave this tube of wolf hair to Ding Huguo as a birthday gift, and he was sentenced to death from then on. Whenever a new pen is used, there will always be flying hairs on the tip of the pen. When Ding Huguo uses the pen, it will be on the candle flame. Burn off the flying feathers protruding from the lower end of the pen barrel. Once the rosin in the pen barrel is heated and melted by the candle flame, and the spring is loosened, the small dagger will fly out immediately, piercing his face instead of his throat."
When Ding Xiucai heard this, he was at a loss at first; then he was terrified and shouted: "Master, who made this terrible murderous thing?"
"This person has already engraved who he is on the pen tube. If it weren't for this, the county may not be able to find out who killed your father in this lifetime. There are thirteen characters on the pen tube: Ding Weng Liuzhi Happy birthday, Ning Xinyu respectfully writes this question. This Ning Xinyu is the name of the perpetrator's study."
"Who is this? Xiaosheng has never heard of a study called this name!"
Di Gongdao: "Yesterday, the county knew that the owner of Ning Xinyu was the late Ni Shouqian, the ambassador who deposed Zhizhi. Except for a close friend of his, no one knew that he had a study with this elegant name."
The crowd in the hall was passionate and cheered loudly.
After a burst of applause, Di Gong said: "Ding Yi, what treacherous and evil things did your deceased father do during his lifetime, which caused Ni Shouqian, the deposed emissary, to sentence him to death, and then use this strange punishment to execute him? Maybe you understand better than this county. But Ni Shouqian is no longer alive, and this county cannot retry this case, so it is declared that the case is closed here."
Di Gong gave a blow to the hall and retreated back to the inner yamen.
The people watching the trial in the hall filed out of the hall, discussing as they walked, Ding Huguo's murder case, the ending like this was completely beyond their expectations.Mr. Di was resourceful and resourceful. Once he saw through the mechanism of the pen tube, he solved a strange case, which won the admiration and praise of all the audience.But there are also a few old people who saw the candied date box and didn't follow up.Puzzled in their hearts, they expected that there must be articles in the middle.
Fangzheng returned to Yading's room, but Wu Feng had been waiting for him for a long time.After Wu Feng saluted, he begged: "Uncle Fang, I heard that you are looking for Bailan's whereabouts. If you don't give up, please allow my nephew to help you."
Fangzheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wu, you have suffered so much for my little girl. I dare not make it harder for you, but you are so sincere that you rejected being kind and agreed to you. But at the moment I have I have an errand, please wait here, I will come as soon as I go." Then he said goodbye to Wu Feng.Go straight to the gate of the county government.The people watching the trial were rushing out of the gate, and Ding Yi followed the crowd into the market.Fangzheng could see it clearly, he chased up and said to Ding Yi: "Ding Xiucai stay, Mr. Di invites you to go to Neiya Study Room to talk less."
Di Gong sat behind the book case in the inner office, and the four relatives sat around the case with the chief executive.Tao Gan had already sawed the pen barrel in half, exposing the rosin and spring inside the barrel.
Fang Zheng introduced Ding Xiucai into the inner office.Di Gong said to the four assistants: "Ding Xiucai and I are chatting casually, please leave later."
Hong Canjun and the other three got up and walked out of the gate, but Qiao Tai stood still and said, "Master, please stay, Qiao Tai!"
Di Gong frowned, seeing Qiao Tai's pale face, he was surprised, thought for a while, and ordered him to sit on the stool beside the desk.Ding Yi also wanted to sit down, but the county magistrate didn't say to sit down, he hesitated for a while, and still stood where he was.
Di Gong said: "Ding Yi, since your father Ding Huguo has passed away, this county has not made his crimes public in the hall. You are his only son, and I would not have turned over his bones in front of you. , it is only because of a special reason that I have to explain it to you.
"Your father was forced to disarm and return to the farm. This county knows everything about it. In the past, when this county was working as a copyist in the Chang'an Criminal Department, it was fortunate to see the secret text of the Ding Huguo case. It's because none of your father's victims survived. Therefore, there is no detailed record of his criminal activities in the case files, but judging from the large amount of indirect evidence obtained by General Wu Long, the fact that the lives of eight hundred officers and soldiers of my army were ruined by your father is irrefutable.
"The tragedy was shocking, and the Holy Lord, Longyan, was furious. He wanted to kill him at the Meridian Gate as a sacrifice to the spirits of the martyred soldiers. But after another thought, some people in the army were worried that the world would not be chaotic. If the truth of the tragedy were revealed, these people would definitely kill him." Taking the opportunity to instigate, there will be chaos in the army, and the country will be in chaos, so I hid the case secretly, and only ordered your father to resign and retire, never to be hired. Ni Shouqian is an upright person, and he is determined to punish your father himself, so that he will get what he deserves He resigned and came to Lanfang. One of the very important reasons is to pay back the blood debt from your father, to eradicate traitors for the country, and to avenge the dead soldiers. Since he can't publicly take your father's head against the holy will, he created this The ingenious agency took his life. The county does not want to comment on what the dethroning envoy did. I just want to tell you that the county knows the whole story of your father Ding Huguo's case. .”
Ding Xiucai remained silent, just looked down at the ground, clearly he also knew about his father's crime.
Qiao Tai sat on the stool, staring straight ahead without blinking.
Di Gong slowly stroked his long and black beard, and said: "Ding Xiucai, the county has already told you about your father's case, now let's talk about you."
Qiao Tai stood up when he heard that, and said to Di Gong: "Qiao Tai, please leave!"
Di Gong nodded, and Qiaotai left.
Duke Di didn't speak for a while.Ding Xiucai raised his head in fear and trepidation, seeing Di Gong's eyes burning with anger, he was so frightened that he couldn't help taking three steps back, then lowered his head again.Di Gong held the armrest of the seat tightly, leaned forward, and said coldly: "Ding Xiucai, why don't you look up at this county?"
Ding Yi raised his head slightly.Eyes full of fear.Duke Di suddenly shouted and cursed: "Stupid! You pretend to be smart and think that your dirty tricks can be hidden from me. You are really deceiving yourself!"
Di Gong finally suppressed his anger and continued to talk, but his words were sharp, every sentence was a spear, every word was a sharp sword, and Ding Xiucai was so frightened when he heard this.
"The person who plotted to poison Ding Hu's country was not Wu Feng, but you, an unfilial son with a human face and a beast's heart! As a son of man, it is forbidden by heaven and earth to do such an outrageous thing! You have always wanted to kill your father. Let's start. After Wu Feng came to Lanfang, you racked your brains and came up with the idea of covering up the sins of remorse with the family feud between Ding and Wu. While facing Wu Feng, you tried your best to spread rumors and slander him, and at the same time, you secretly monitored him. When going out or going downstairs to drink heavily, he sneaked into his studio and stole the paper with his seal on it."
Just as Ding Yi was about to open his mouth to argue, Mr. Di used the boxing case and shouted: "Don't talk too much!" Then he said: "On the night of your father's 60th birthday, you already put the poisoned candied dates in your sleeve. Xi San , you and the housekeeper sent your father away from the birthday hall to the study to die. Your father opened the door of the study. Good night, please kneel down and take out the gift box from your sleeve while the housekeeper enters the room to light the two candles on the desk. Silently present it to your father. You don't need to say anything, as soon as you see the words "Shoubi Nanshan, Blessed as the East China Sea" on the box cover, your father will know that it is a birthday gift. Your father thanked you and put the paper box into his clothes. At this time, the butler came out of the room. He thought your father was putting the key in his cuff and thanked you because you kowtowed to him. But during the time when the butler entered the room and lit the candles and then walked out of the room, you Why does your father always hold the key and stand at the door? Why doesn’t he put it in his sleeve after opening the door? Needless to say, the housekeeper saw that your father put the key in his shirt instead of a key, but a cardboard box filled with poisoned dried fruits. His disobedient son killed his biological father!"
Di Gong's gaze was like a sword, piercing Ding Yi's eyes, piercing his whole body, but he didn't dare to look away.
Duke Di lowered his voice: "In the end, your father didn't die by your hands. Before he opened the cardboard box, the hidden weapon of the late deposed envoy flew out, killing him."
Ding Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and stammered and asked, "Master... the master's high opinion, the villain is afraid... I'm afraid I don't dare to agree, why does the villain want to kill my own father? "
Di Gong stood up, took a copy of one of the poems stored in Ding Huguo's file on the desk, walked up to Ding Yi, and scolded: "The beast is so bold, how dare you ask such a question! This silly poem you scribbled down is so boring. The erotic poem not only expresses clearly that the adulterer is the root cause of the hatred of one's father, but also fully exposes the crime of adultery of you, a pair of thieves and men!"
Di Gong threw the poem manuscript at Ding Yi's face, and said angrily: "Look at what nonsense you wrote in your dirty love poem! You two are intoxicated in the center of the Xiangluo tent. The rules and regulations are destroyed, and the relationship is always lost. , I still hope that the flowers will be perfect and the moon will be full, and they will become phoenixes and mandarin ducks. If you don’t get what you want for a while, you will be full of utter devotion, and you will be heartbroken. All of this, it’s really dirty when you say it. What is the crime of adultery and incest?"
Ding Yi was tongue-tied for a moment, speechless, and then stuttered for a while, before stammering: "Old...Master, this crooked poem is a small... I impromptu compose it for Sister Yihua when I was having flower wine in a brothel. I really dare not have evil thoughts about my father's concubine, Master Wan Wang will learn from you carefully!"
Di Gong was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and the seven orifices smoked, and he shouted: "How dare you deny the karma! The six words "no chapters and codes, forgetting the rules" in this poem are not enough for the time being. You hide the "moon flower" in the beginning of the last four lines. Isn't the four characters "heart and liver" the ironclad evidence of your crime?"
There was silence in the study.Mr. Di suppressed his anger, and said: "This county originally wanted to bring you adulterers and adulterers to the lobby for trial and conviction, thinking that the main purpose of the criminal law is to repair the damage caused by the crime. There is no damage in this case. It can be repaired, so the scandal between the two of you will not be put on trial. But just as a sore cannot be allowed to spread freely, the criminal who destroys the law cannot go unpunished. A tree branch is full of worms and rot, and the gardener cuts it down. Go. To save the tree. You, a rotten branch that grew out of the thousand-year-old tree in Dingmen, must also be cut off. You go back and imitate the gardener, and cut yourself down!"
Ding Xiucai turned around slowly, with a disheveled face, and walked out of the inner office sadly, as if in a dream.
Someone pushes the door.Seeing Qiao Tai coming in, Di Gong turned his anger into joy, and hurriedly said: "Qiao Tai, sit down!"
Qiao Tai sat down on a small stool.His face was still ashen, and he said straight to the point: "My lord, listen to me carefully. Fourteen years ago, Hu Rong in northern Xinjiang violated the border, and the border was in a hurry. The emperor issued an imperial decree, and ordered General Ding Huguo to lead 30,000 soldiers to the border court to defend against the enemy. Yes In the autumn of 1999, Fan Jiang Tian Biao led more than 10,000 Hu soldiers across the border to fight against the border. At the foot of Niutou Mountain, he surrounded the camp of Ding Hu's Chinese Army with 8,000 people. At that time, the enemy and our forces were not much different, and the enemy traveled long distances, and fought in foreign lands, living in a sparsely populated area. In contrast, our army waited for work with ease, and gained both geographical advantages and harmony. Ruo Dinghu took advantage of the enemy to gain a foothold If you are not stable and lead your army to fight, you may not be able to win. Facing the siege of Tian Biao, the generals and school strongly advocated to fight against the enemy, admonishing: "Now that the enemy is at hand, my six-foot bloody man should charge forward and spill blood on the battlefield. How can we just live in peace." Cowardly?' Dan Ding Huguo was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he disregarded Wu Long and other generals and school’s hard work, insisted on advocating peace, treated the envoy as a guest of honour, and secretly discussed with him, promising gold, silver and silk in exchange for Bai Biao Retreat. Unexpectedly, Biao made an inch of progress during the day, saying that he must take hundreds of heads from our army and order them to return in triumph by picking heads. Ding Huguo pretended to accept the opinions of the crowd and sent troops to retreat. In order to cut off the enemy's escape route In the name, he ordered Liang Duwei to lead his troops to go to Hulu Valley to ambush. Liang Duwei didn't know the plan, but thought that Ding Huguo had changed his course and was determined to resist the enemy. With one order, he led 800 warriors to break out of the encirclement. The throat is advancing. Our army entered the valley mightily, and was about to set up camp, when we heard three cannon shots, we knew we had hit the trick. When we were about to withdraw, the valley entrance had already been tightly sealed by the enemy. Two thousand Hu soldiers were condescending, rolling stones Like hail and flying words like locusts, they all rushed down to our army. Although our army fought bloody battles, they were outnumbered and wiped out by the enemy. Hu Bing cut off hundreds of heads, picked them up on spears, and went away with gold .
"Lieutenant Liang and five school captains were killed by arrows and were turned into meat paste. The sixth school captain got an arrow from his helmet and fell unconscious from his horse. After that, his mount was hit by three arrows in a row and fell right on the owner's body." The school lieutenant came to his senses after Fan Jun left, and when he looked up, there were headless corpses all over the mountains and plains, it was horrible, and none of the eight hundred healthy children survived except him!"
Having said this, Qiaotai's voice changed, and beads of sweat rolled down his haggard face.Gathering his mind, he said: "This captain is full of grief and indignation, eating and sleeping in the open. All the way back to the capital, he reported Ding Huguo to the lobby of the Ministry of War. But the Ministry of War declared that Ding Huguo had been disarmed and became a citizen, and this matter should not be mentioned again. Hearing this, the school captain took off his military uniform in a fit of anger, and vowed to personally behead the head of Ding Huguo as a sacrifice to the spirits of the eight hundred evil ghosts in Jiuquan. From then on, he changed his name and surname, and wandered the rivers and lakes to find the whereabouts of Ding Huguo. Later, he met in the green forest A good man, the two became brothers and depended on each other for life. One day in the mountains and forests, he came across a wise county lord who was going to take office, and he voted under his sect. The county lord taught him by example, taught him earnestly, and inspired him Turn it on, he..."
Qiao Tai's voice was trembling, and tears were pouring down like rain.
Di Gong looked affectionately at his hand, and said, "Qiaotai, now Ding Huguo has got what he deserved, but it's just destined that your Qingfeng Kunzhen should not be the dirty blood of an old thief." In the end, Ni Shouqian ended up with his dog's life.
"That's the end of what you said to me just now. You and I are not allowed to tell others. However, when we first met, you said something first. Once you found an enemy, you left me. Now your enemy is gone. I I know that your heart is in the army, so I don't want to go against your wish and force you to stay here. I want to find out the truth and send you to the capital. You brought me the secret of recommending you to the Minister of the Ministry of War. Why don't you worry about him? I entrust you with the post of captain! I wonder what you think about it?"
Qiao Tai smiled lightly and said, "The day the master is promoted to Chang'an is the time when Qiao Tai goes to the capital. As long as the master does not give up. Qiao Tai is willing to serve the master and never leave him for life."
Di Gong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Okay! It's a deal! Qiaotai, you follow me sincerely. Such a deep friendship, I will never forget it forever!"
