Volume 1 Chapter 132: Troops Headed to the Capital
Volume 1, Chapter 132: The troops were dispatched to the capital .
The moment Bai Qi's cousin Zhang Qingye ran out of the cell, the eyelids of the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Punishment jumped, but he did not dare to stop her in the end.
As a person in the palace, Bai Qi's fierceness was clear.
He was the one who dared to contradict the emperor of the Great Zhou in the Golden Palace, and this time he made an extraordinary achievement. It was easy to kill these eunuchs.
The most important thing was that the relationship between Bai Qi and Princess Anyang was unclear. With Bai Qi's support, Princess Anyang's younger brother, the Ninth Prince, might become the next lord of the dynasty.
So these eunuchs didn't need to offend Bai Qi to death.
The eunuch of the Ministry of Punishment also realized that something was wrong at this moment. The emperor of the Great Zhou only asked him to interrogate Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi, but did not issue an order to prevent the news from leaking.
Bai Qi would know sooner or later.
Thinking of this, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Punishment broke out in cold sweat.
So he quickly went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was playing games with a group of concubines. When he heard the eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment coming, he quickly let him in. "How is it? Has Yue Shenqiang confessed?"
"Your Majesty, not yet! The punishment is about to begin."
"The most important thing is that the news of framing Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi will soon leak out. What should we do if Bai Qi in Honghua City finds out?"
The eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment asked anxiously. The Emperor of
the Great Zhou Dynasty snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "What if he finds out?"
"Continue to interrogate Yue Shenqiang for me. Get his confession at all costs!"
"Even if Bai Qi comes back, we still have the Great Zhou royal family to serve!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty vowed.
In the Great Zhou Imperial City, would he still be afraid of Bai Qi?
What a joke.
When the eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment heard the words of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he immediately had a clue in his heart. After all, they still had their ancestors.
So he gritted his teeth and turned around to go to the Heavenly Prison again. This time, he wanted Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi to sign and seal the confession as quickly as possible.
Even if he tortured a few people to death, after Bai Qi got up, he would get close to the Zhou royal family worshippers, and I believe Bai Qi would not be able to do anything to him!
So, he attacked Yue Shenqiang even more ruthlessly.
………………
10 days later!
Honghua City, the central army tent.
"Report!——"
A hurried military report interrupted Bai Qi's thoughts. Bai Qi frowned, looked at the personal soldiers and asked: "What happened?"
"General, the general's cousin and uncle are here!"
"Because they ran too fast, it seems that they haven't rested for several days. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were exhausted and fainted."
The personal soldiers hurriedly replied.
What! ?
Bai Qi's face changed. At this time, his uncle and cousin came, and they came so hurriedly!
Are they rushing at an accelerated speed of 800 miles?
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Let's go! Go and take a look."
Bai Qi stood up directly, turned into a residual shadow, and rushed out of the central army tent and rushed to the north gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found that their uncle and cousin Zhang Qingye were unconscious, and the horses they were riding were almost exhausted.
Because these people had just learned the identities of the two from the badge on Bai Qi's uncle's waist, they quickly found a quilt and spread it on the ground for them to lie down.
These are all Bai Qi's relatives, so of course everyone has to take good care of them.
Even a doctor was invited to take their pulse.
When Bai Qi came, everyone immediately made way, and the doctor immediately reported back: "General, the two of them are overworked. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine. They should be fine after a few days of rest!"
Rest for a few days?
Bai Qi couldn't wait. Something must have happened that made his uncle and cousin rush here so anxiously!
Bai Qi grabbed the wrists of the two people directly, and under the circulation of his internal force, he sent it to the two of them.
With the circulation of internal force, his uncle and cousin soon opened their eyes.
The moment cousin Zhang Qingye saw Bai Qi, she burst into tears, knelt in front of Bai Qi, and begged:
"Cousin, please save General Yue and the others!"
Bai Qi frowned, "What happened to General Yue? Isn't he fighting Beiliang in the northeast? Is there a change in the war ahead?"
Logically, it shouldn't be!
It is still very easy to beat Beiliang with Marshal Yue's ability.
Bai Qi absolutely does not believe that Yue Shenqiang will lose.
Zhang Qingye shook her head and cried, "Cousin, the emperor has put Marshal Yue in the prison, and he will torture him into confessing!"
"And Marshal Yang has also been put in the prison, because Marshal Yang used 400,000 taels of silver without authorization, the emperor wants to confiscate their property and exterminate their clans!"
What! ?
Bai Qi's eyes widened, and there was an unknown anger in his heart that rushed to his head.
He thought that the emperor would at most demote him, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless!
The people and soldiers around were already furious, cursing:
"What a foolish emperor! Marshal Yang has been so good to our Honghua City. He has been guarding the border for the Great Zhou for so many years, so that they can enjoy it in the capital."
"But the emperor actually wants to confiscate his property and exterminate his clan. How hateful!"
"And how did the 400,000 taels of silver go? Didn't he give it to us? So that we can provide pensions to our families and reduce our losses!" "
The emperor of the Great Zhou wants to treat such a general who loves the people like his own children like this. We don't accept it!"
"Get justice for Marshal Yang!"
"Get justice for Marshal Yang!"
The soldiers shouted in unison. The best thing they did in their lives was to follow a good general.
If they went to the command of those great generals in the south, God knows what would happen.
The people also shared the same hatred. When they heard that the emperor of the Great Zhou was going to deal with Yang Wudi, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred.
There are not many generals who love the people like their own children.
Many generals stationed in border cities even killed innocent people for merit and even became local tyrants.
But Yang Wudi is really benefiting the people.
They will never allow such a good official to be framed by a tyrant!
Zhang Qingye felt even worse. When she thought of Yue Yunlei's miserable condition, she felt cold all over.
She grabbed Bai Qi's sleeve and begged,
"Cousin, you should come back to the capital with us right now. It will be too late. The eunuchs in the Ministry of Punishment will use severe punishment on Marshal Yang and Marshal Yue!"
When Zhang Qingye said this, tears fell down.
"Use severe punishment?"
The people around him suddenly quieted down. If killing people is not enough, why would they use torture?
Didn't the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty sentence Yang Wudi and Marshal Yue to death?
Several relatives of the Yang family, Yang Wudi's old brothers, immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously, "What kind of punishment will the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty use on Marshal Yang?"
"They used iron hooks to pierce Yun Lei's scapula!"
Zhang Qingye was already crying when she said this. She couldn't stand just watching, let alone those who were tortured.
"How dare he?"
Yang Wudi's brothers opened their eyes in anger, wishing to cut the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty into pieces.
"Damn it!"
"I'm going to kill them!"
"Your Majesty, you are too cruel!"
They originally thought that the punishment was just a beating, but they didn't expect to use such a vicious method.
Once this kind of punishment is used, the person will be useless!
Even when they caught prisoners for interrogation, they rarely used such cruel punishments.
"What a great emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!" Bai Qi was already furious, because he thought of many famous ministers and generals in history who were tortured to death by tyrants and treacherous ministers.
The punishments were more cruel than one another.
He didn't even need to think about it, he knew what Yue Shenqiang and Yang Wudi had suffered at the moment!
"Come on, assemble the whole army!"
"Gather 100,000 soldiers and horses for me, I want to send troops to the capital!"
Bai Qi gave an order, and his voice was mixed with strong internal strength, which resounded in the ears of all the people in Honghua City.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the entire Honghua City quickly gathered together.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the tens of thousands of generals in Honghua City changed drastically. They grabbed Bai Qi's arm and said, "General, you can't do this! If you lead the troops back to the capital, you will be criticized by thousands of people!"
Bai Qi laughed loudly, his eyes full of madness, and said loudly:
"Do I, Bai Qi, still fear being criticized by thousands of people?"
"I will lead my troops back to the capital and settle this account with the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"
"This time, I'm not going to purge the emperor, I'm going to purge the tyrant!"
"All the tens of thousands of generals obey my orders!"
"I order you to guard Honghua City. While I lead the troops back to the capital, not a single Hun soldier is allowed to invade the Great Zhou!"
"Can you do it?"
