"It's like a rebellion?"

"Kill?!"

When nearly a thousand soldiers heard Pingyang's words, they all looked pale and extremely frightened. A quarter of an hour ago, they had put such a crime on Fang Zhengzhi's body.

But now

People like me are also covered with the same crimes.

rebellion!

This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans!

The soldiers did not want to die, nor did they want to be killed, but since ancient times, the king had to die, but the ministers had to die, let alone ordinary soldiers like them.

"Princess, please spare me!"

"Your Highness the Princess, I don't know how to do it!"

"It was General Wang who held the military order in his hand. He ordered us to kill Fang Zheng just to act according to the military order. He also asked His Highness the Princess not to kill the nine tribes including us!"

There were sounds of kowtows, and nearly a thousand soldiers fell to the ground in a dark way, and no one dared to raise their heads.

After all, the person in front of him was Pingyang, the most favored by the emperor today. A little devil who was called Yanjing City Yiba, even civil and military ministers in the court and first-rank prime ministers of the dynasty dare not provoke.

Chi Guyan looked at the scene in front of her.

He did not answer Pingyang immediately, nor did he immediately stop Pingyang from pleading for the soldiers, but turned around to Zhang Yangping's side.

"Hello, village chief!"

"Hello, Princess of the County!" Zhang Yangping looked at Chi Guyan and seemed extremely nervous.

After all, how could people living in Beimo not know the name of Chi Guyan, the daughter of the Shenhou Mansion? If Fang Zhengzhen is the pride of Beishan Village, then Chi Guyan is the pride of the entire five palaces of Beimo.

"Zhengzheng has been cared for by the village chief for so many years, and I am so grateful. Gu Yan came late today. I don't know what happened. Can the village chief explain in detail?"!" Zhang Yangping nodded immediately.

Then, he began to talk about the story in detail, from the black-faced general entering the village and then the conversations during the process, he told them all.

Chi Guyan never interrupted Zhang Yangping, but just listened quietly.

Fang Zhengzhi had already helped Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian aside and arranged for the villagers to rescue the injured villagers. As for the nearly 1000 soldiers, they were all kneeling nervously on the ground.

However, when they heard the black-faced general's actions in Beishan Village, they were all shocked. They never thought that the black-faced general would hurt innocent villagers without asking about it.

In less than a moment, Zhang Yangping completely told the whole story.

Chi Guyan nodded, and his bright eyes looked at nearly a thousand soldiers kneeling on the ground again, his lips slightly pursed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hold military orders?"

Chi Guyan knew that Fang Zhengzhi killed the sergeant last night. She was watching from the side, but she didn't stop it, which means that the matter would not have much impact.

Soldiers bully villagers with their power. Fang Zhengzheng, as the imperial official, has his own responsibility to control him. Then, they have conflicts and kill people in the process of restraint. They have a crime of overreaching power, but they will not die.

But if the sergeant insults and upright parents are added, the crime of overstepping power can be offset according to the court's laws, and the crime of insulting the sergeant insulting the court's parents.

According to Fang Zhengzheng's current official rank, the fourth-rank official in the capital is an important official in the court. Therefore, it is not too much to execute two soldiers.

But today is different.

Nearly a thousand soldiers besieged a village, injured so many villagers, killed and injured so many soldiers. Moreover, they were holding the token of the military gate.

The impact of this matter is too great.

Normally, Fang Zhengzhi had already shown his identity yesterday. Even if the army did not know Fang Zhengzhi's current official position, he should send an envoy first to inquire, rather than directly using the army to surround the village.

Even if the army is really used to surround the village, it will only arrest Fang Zhengzhi and hand it over to the military gate for treatment. It is impossible to hurt the villagers first and then slaughter the village.

This is undoubtedly a way to die.

Someone must be instructing him behind his back, and this military order would never be given by General Wang.

So, who gave the order?

King Duan?

When Chi Guyan thought of this, he felt it was unlikely. Wang Duan Lin Xinjue was in charge of the military sect, and he was the most suspicious. Anyone would think of him at the first time.

But because of this, it is even more impossible for him to do this.

King Duan was not so stupid that when he visited Fang Zhengzhi Township, he sent someone to follow him out to silence him, and he used his military power to make such a big fuss.

So

Could it be the prince?

A kill of two birds with one stone, kill Fang Zhengzheng, and at the same time, accusing Duan Wang of being incompetent in the army?

It seems good, but in fact it is full of mistakes and omissions. First, this approach is equivalent to starting a war head-on and snatching the power of the military sect with King Duan. King Duan has been in charge of the military sect for so many years. How can a straightforward move be affected? Second, I can immediately think of this counter-argument, how could the emperor not notice it?

He could not move the position of King Duan, but he took such a great risk, leaving a suspicion of seizing power in front of the saint, and the prince was asking for stability.

He must be capable, and he must be open-minded and tolerant.

The most important thing is that the art of emperors emphasizes balance. The prince is very clear that Duan Wang is the one who checks and balances him. Then he knows that he can suppress him, but as long as Duan Wang is not too much, he will never directly seize Duan Wang's power.

If you don’t make mistakes, you can become the final winner.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect yourself.

Now King Duan is at its peak, and the reputation of the saint is very good. What if the prince wants to use this matter to seize the power of the military to confront King Duan head-on?

It's unlikely.

So, who is it?

"Who will send the orders from the military gate?" Chi Guyan finally spoke after thinking about it.

"We don't know this. The person came in black robe. The account of General Wang's camp entered late at night five days ago. It was too dark and it was unclear. After that, he had never made a record. Last night, a soldier came to report that the soldiers stationed in Beishan Village were driven out, and two people were killed. Later, General Wang ordered us to arrest people in Beishan Village." A deputy general did not dare to neglect Chi Guyan's question and answered immediately.

"Five days ago?" Chi Guyan frowned slightly. The other party chose to go to Beishan Village to guard in advance. Then there are two possibilities. The first is to be afraid of being seen during the stalking, and the second is to have other plans.

Ordering the arrest of Fang Zhengzheng may be just a temporary meaning.

In this way, things will become more complicated. If it is a temporary idea, how would the other party know in advance that such a thing must have occurred in Beishan Village?

unless

All of this was arranged by the other party long ago, deliberately letting the soldiers bully the villagers of Beishan Village? This is a possibility. Another possibility is that the other party has other purposes.

Is it for the Holy Monument of Heavenly Dao?

If it was for the Holy Monument of Heaven, I had already arrived at the foot of Cangling Mountain, why didn’t I enter Cangling Mountain? Does the other party have anything to do with the demons’ actions? Who has such great energy to make a general in the military follow his orders?

One by one, a question emerged in Chi Guyan’s mind.

However, Chi Guyan did not ask again, because the black-faced general was dead.

There was such a big noise in Beishan Village, I'm afraid the man in black robe had already left the account. If this matter was to be investigated, there would probably be only one way.

Pull the snake out of the hole.

Then, all the only soldiers who are likely to be informed must be detained and then reviewed one by one.

Only in this way can the other party take action again.

"Although you are ordered by the army today, the details of the harassed villagers need to be reviewed. From now on, everyone cannot communicate with each other. They are on standby. If there are runaways, the nine clans will be killed in succession!"

"Yes!" When nearly a thousand soldiers heard Chi Guyan's words, none of them had any objections. Although Chi Guyan did not take charge of the military, he was the future military commander.

How dare they disobey?

"Sister Yan, these people are so hateful, why don't you kill them all?" Pingyang seemed a little unwilling to accept it.

"The real mastermind behind the scenes has not come out yet. Wouldn't it be helping the other party silence?" Chi Guyan knew Pingyang's personality well, so he also explained.

"So that's the case. Then let's keep their lives for the time being! What is Sister Yan going to do with them?"

"Of course it is punished according to the laws of the dynasty!"

"Does that have to be handed over to the military gate to deal with it?"

"If you don't hand over, at least you won't hand over for the time being!" Chi Guyan shook her head.

"Then are these people just letting them kneel here all the time?" Pingyang looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground again, and a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, let's kneel first! Someone will naturally take them away later!"

"Where is Sister Yan going to take them?"

"Shenhou Mansion!"

After a stick of incense, a man in armor and about forty years old came to Chi Guyan.

This person is upright.

It was the General Li who went to Nanshan Village with Chi Guyan eight years ago. However, now General Li has a hint of white frost on his temples compared to eight years ago.

"See the lady! As the lady's instructions, two thousand people have arrived outside the village. This is a medicine."

"Well, leave the medicine behind, take these people to the Shenhou Mansion, prohibit anyone from speaking along the way, take them all away, take them in turns to guard them, and then review them one by one after another after arriving at the Shenhou Mansion."

"Yes!" General Li responded respectfully, then turned around and left.
