Guanshi He and his family cried together.
Zhou Chong looked at the body of the dead Vice General Sun and grabbed He Guanshi.
"Tell me, did he kill your lord? What did your lord say? Why did Vice General Sun do this!"
How can you tell what is in charge? He only knew that Vice General Sun had killed the fake Shen Huaixin, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or something else. Then he turned around and took away his family members, leaving him to take the blame.
He got a knife, but before he could accomplish anything, Linlang took him out of the house. Those words he just said were all taught to him by Yan Ruyu.
Yin Ding stepped forward and pulled Zhou Chong away: "As evidenced by his confession, you can read it yourself."
"You said it was? Why do you want us to believe it?"
Zhou Chong was very excited.
"If I say yes, how will you treat me?"
A cold voice rose from the crowd.
Hearing this voice, Governor Cao felt like hearing a savior, and Li Mingcheng also let out a heavy sigh.
The crowd split to the left and right, and Huo Changhe stepped out.
He was wearing a black brocade robe and a large cloak of the same color, and his aura was exuding, silent and compelling.
"Meet the prince!" Governor Cao and Li Mingcheng said in unison.
Huo Changhe nodded slightly: "You two adults don't need to be polite."
He glanced at the body of Vice General Sun on the ground and took the confession. The confession was simple and smooth, and the meaning was clear. It simply said that he had a dispute with Shen Huaixin over some matters regarding the reward and punishment system in the military camp, and in a fit of anger, he killed Shen Huaixin by mistake. Deadly and full of faith. After that, he fled back to the military camp, feeling guilty and uneasy. He thought about it and decided that he could only atone for his sins by dying.
It all makes sense.
But Huo Changhe knew it was fake at a glance.
However, it is true that Vice General Sun killed the fake Shen Huaixin, and it is also true that he kidnapped He Guanshi Jiaxiao.
He deserved his death, and he didn't want to tell the truth at this time.
The person behind it needs to be investigated, but not now. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation.
"Vice General Zhou," Huo Changhe raised his eyes, "What are your suspicions?"
Yes, there was, but Zhou Chong couldn't explain clearly at the moment. Facing Huo Changhe was not like facing Cao Cao and Li Mingcheng.
He dare not.
Zhou Chong said bravely: "I just think that Vice General Sun shouldn't be like this."
"No, then do you think that Mr. He lied? What he saw and said was false, and his family being held hostage by Vice General Sun was also false?"
"Your Majesty, the villain's family was really taken away by Deputy General Sun." Manager He said quickly.
"Yes, sir, it was Vice General Sun's men who took us away by force!"
"The villain didn't want to leave, so he whipped him several times. He also said that if he didn't leave, he would kill everyone."
Several people chatted, and the men showed their injuries from being beaten, all of which were new.
Zhou Chong lowered his head: "I have no doubts about He Guanshi."
"In this case, what Guanshi said is true. You said you met him before coming here. Have you ever thought about why he said those words to you? What nightmares and uneasiness. They just want you to come and find Shen Shen. It’s just the city envoy’s death.”
"With your loyalty to Ambassador Shen Cheng and your straightforward temper, what consequences will there be?" Huo Changhe looked around, "It's obvious."
"You led people to block the door, intending to go to the streets to show off to the public, and marched all the way to the governor's office, making the whole city aware of it, forcing the yamen, disobeying the deputy city envoys, triggering conflicts and even mutinies, and panicking the whole city."
Zhou Chong's face turned white inch by inch as Huo Changhe described it.
Governor Cao and Li Mingcheng were also frightened.
"It happens that Princess Dachengjiu is passing by to get married. If she arrives at this time, what do you think will happen?"
At this time, everyone's expressions changed.
Zhou Chong's face was as white as paper: "Your Majesty, I..."
"I know that you just want justice for Shen Cheng's envoy," Huo Changhe raised his hand, "You also said that the Shen family has guarded Youcheng for generations. The backbone of Youcheng is the Shen family, and you, the city's defenders, It’s the imperial court. The Shen family’s heroes are gone, but the city guards are still there, and so is the imperial court!”
Everyone present held their breath.
"I once guarded Shen City. As the capital, the Dutong Mansion was the backbone of Shen City. Now that I have arrived in Youcheng, Shen City has not fallen. There will be a new capital. That is because of the army and the people behind it! "
"What Shencheng can do, Youcheng can do the same!"
"As long as everyone is united and united, we will have nothing to fear even if the army is approaching the city, let alone peace and prosperity."
"Vice General Zhou, Commander Shen Cheng speaks highly of you. I was just looking at you in the crowd. You are loyal, brave, courageous, courageous, and prestigious. If you want Commander Shen Cheng to rest in peace, you should be steady. The city guard is here to defend what the Shen family has always wanted to defend."
"I believe that Shen Cheng is envoy himself, and he doesn't want to destroy the unity and safety of Youcheng for his own personal reasons. Of course, revenge must be avenged, but not in this way."
Zhou Chong was sweating on his forehead and his throat was rolling slightly. He was filled with shame and could not speak.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Huo Changhe patted him on the shoulder, turned to Li Mingcheng and said, "Envoy Li Cheng, Envoy Shen Cheng is in trouble. You are the highest commander. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. I'm going to have to work hard on you."
Li Mingcheng clasped his fists: "What do you say, Your Majesty? This is what a subordinate should do."
"Vice-General Zhou has a sincere heart. I remember that the deputy city envoy has the right to promote generals below the fourth rank."
Li Mingcheng understood and nodded: "Yes!"
Huo Changhe glanced at Vice General Sun on the ground: "Vice General Sun is dead and his position is vacant. It is better to let Vice General Zhou take the place."
"Yes." Li Mingcheng did not hesitate.
Zhou Chong was simply shocked. He... got promoted? Continuous promotion?
I almost got into trouble, but not only was I not punished, but I was promoted?
The sergeant behind him was also delighted.
"However," Huo Changhe changed the topic, "Rewards will be rewarded and punishment will be punished. Vice General Zhou acted impulsively and almost caused disaster. He contradicted Shangfeng and shall be punished according to military law."
"I will punish you with thirty military sticks. When things are safe in the city, I will return to the military camp and the envoy Li Cheng will personally supervise the punishment."
Thirty military sticks, no more, no less. As for whether it should be a light beating or a hard beating, it all depends on Li Mingcheng, the supervisor.
Li Mingcheng naturally understood that this was Huo Changhe's opportunity to do favors for him.
Zhou Chong is a bit reckless, but he is a good person and has abilities. With time and proper teaching, he will definitely become a good right-hand man.
When Li Mingcheng first came to power, what he needed most was someone who was loyal and trustworthy.
Li Mingcheng was grateful, and Zhou Chong was convinced.
Huo Changhe said to Governor Cao: "Chief Cao, the Shen Cheng envoy is dead. You are the father-in-law of the city. You must stabilize the situation and the people's hearts. When the adults arrive, they must see our stability and prosperity."
"The king is willing to donate food and thousands of stones to stabilize the military camp, open a porridge shop in the city for a few days, donate thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials, and provide free clinics in pharmacies, so as to do some modest things for the city."
Governor Cao was almost crying. He was under a lot of pressure now, and what he needed most was to stabilize the people's hearts.
But he is not as wealthy as the prince.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to express my gratitude to you, Your Majesty."
The people watching also cheered, and everyone's attention was successfully diverted.
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, and Princess Mingzhao chuckled: "The prince is treacherous and easy to deal with. This is what the princess taught you, right? Sure enough, it is easy to do things when you are rich."
"Of course," Yan Ruyu glanced at her, "Wanzhaixing also prepared several sets of new jewelry. My Women's Army has made several sets of new spring clothes, and they all want to give the princess a try."
"It's all money. I wonder if the county wants it?"
Princess Mingzhao said without hesitation: "Yes!"
