Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

If Hu Tu told this, Yi Xiaochuan was the one who assisted Tuan in stopping them from returning to the northern border. What would the generals and Meng Tian think at that time? Gao Yao didn't want to gamble, but he was sure of one thing, no matter whether this matter was true or false, he would hold Yi Xiaochuan alive, after all, he was a brother who had been separated for many years.

It would be fine if this matter was not spoken, but once it was spoken, problems would arise. With so many generals present, this matter would not be resolved without an explanation. The best way to save Yi Xiaochuan's life would be to say that Hutu was talking nonsense. If Hutu's own life was not saved, Gao Yao would naturally not be saved either.

"Meng Yi, come over here and identify him. Is this the Gao Yao you mentioned?"

"Yes, that's right, it's him"

At this time, Meng Tian directly asked Meng Yi to identify Gao Yao, and Yi Xiaochuan was delighted, thinking that Meng Tian wanted to vent his anger, and immediately confirmed Gao Yao's identity, and even showed a smug look on his face when he looked at Gao Yao. That expression clearly said that Gao Yao would also have this day, but Gao Yao did not look away, and did not seem to care at all.

"So you said Gao Yao withheld food and fodder from his subordinates. Do you have any evidence or witnesses?"

"This... No, no."

After hearing Meng Tian's words, Yi Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, while Meng Tian frowned slightly.

"Don't you even have someone who can prove it? I can get someone here right away."

"I......"

"So you said Gao Yao killed civilians indiscriminately. Do you have any evidence or witnesses?"

"He did kill someone. When he was in Pei County, Sishui Prefecture, Gao Yao wrongly killed a man named Liu Ji. Fortunately, I came to his rescue and saved him from a tragic death. Afterwards, Gao Yao also accused him of being a traitor."

"Gao Yao, is this true?"

After hearing what Meng Yi said, Meng Tian immediately questioned Gao Yao.

"Have"

The next moment, Gao Yao's answer stunned everyone present, even Yi Xiaochuan. He did not expect Gao Yao to admit it so easily.

"Well, you are still a man, you dare to do and take responsibility. In this case, you don't have anything to say, right?"

Meng Tian was also surprised that Gao Yao admitted it so decisively, so Meng Tian did not hesitate.

"General Meng Tian, ​​is my answer important? May I ask who this person is and whether he holds a military position?"

"This man is my Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, what do you mean by this?"

"In that case, General, please do as you please. Since he is your brother, I naturally have nothing to say. I just hope that General Meng Tian will let General Hutu go. This matter has nothing to do with General Hutu."

Gao Yao's words at this time were a double entendre. He said at the beginning that it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not, but then he said that he was Meng Tian's brother, so there was nothing to say. In a disguised way, he told everyone present that whatever Meng Yi said was true, and he died unjustly. In the end, it seemed like he was pleading for Hu Tu, but in fact, he was reminding everyone that who knows who will be the next one.

At this time, Hu Tu did not expect that Gao Yao would still consider him under such circumstances. He was deeply moved and immediately bowed down again.

"General, I, Hutu, have fought with you for more than ten years until I reached my current position. This matter has nothing to do with Gao Yao. You convicted Gao Yao based on just a few words from one person. If it was Hutu today, I would not accept it either."

At this time, Hu Tu almost told Gao Yao about Yi Xiaochuan's affairs, but he didn't say it because he saw Gao Yao's eyes trying to stop him. When Hu Tu said this, the generals around him all looked unhappy.

"General, regardless of whether what Meng Yi said is true or not, even if it is true, this incident happened in Sishui County, and this is the northern border. General, you can write a letter to Sishui County to investigate. We cannot overstep our authority."

At this time, the man standing closest to Meng Tian also stood up, but he was obviously not wearing armor, but ordinary clothes. Gao Yao could roughly judge that he should be a lieutenant general. The Qin Dynasty did not have the position of an orthodox military advisor, nor did it have the so-called counselors. Generally, the generals who led the army were the ones who held all the power.

However, after the Qin Dynasty was formally established, a temporary position would be added when going out on an expedition, the Lieutenant General. Unlike the Deputy General, the Lieutenant General was generally a trusted person of the general, a ghostwriter, and had no military power. However, most of the time he was able to participate in some military meetings, and his family background generally had certain military accomplishments. The person who spoke at this time was Meng Tian's own trusted person.

He had already seen that there was nothing wrong with Meng Tian finding his brother, but it was easy to get into trouble if he convicted someone based on one-sided testimony, especially one who had made contributions.

At this time, Meng Tian also frowned and looked at the people in the tent, then waved his hand.

"All of you, please leave. Meng Yi, you should leave first too."

"Gao wants you to stay, and Hu Tu should also leave."

"Here"

After hearing what Meng Tian said, no one dared to delay, except Yi Xiaochuan, who frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but when he saw Meng Tian's expression, he held it back.

After everyone had left the tent, Meng Tian stood up and walked to Gao Yao's side, examining him.

"You are very smart, Gao Yao"

"General Meng Tian, ​​thank you for your praise."

"Have you guessed it yet?"

At this time, Meng Tian suddenly changed the subject and his tone slightly changed.

"I guess so. With General Meng Tian's prestige in the North, he could have killed me directly. Asking him separately is obviously unnecessary."

To be prepared, Gao Yao had already guessed something was wrong when the lieutenant spoke. It seemed that Meng Tian wanted to vent his anger for Meng Yi, but in fact, many things were unreasonable. Meng Tian was far superior to Gao Yao in terms of title and official position. He wanted to kill Gao Yao, and there must be many reasons. He had to stage this in the big tent of the camp.

What Gao Yao had not expected was that Meng Tian had already found Yi Xiaochuan. Gao Yao was indeed panicked at the time, so he did not dare to gamble and could only improvise. Stopping Hu Tu was also to prevent the situation from escalating further. It was not until the lieutenant general spoke that Gao Yao completely realized that something was wrong. He could obviously find a reason to make him disappear, or arrange for his personal soldiers to kill him. There was no need to go through so much trouble. Staging such an interrogation drama was not only useless, but also likely to cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates. Gao Yao also realized that Meng Tian’s purpose from the beginning was not to kill him. To be precise, it was to put on a show for Yi Xiaochuan.

"Yes, you have some brains. It's a pity that you stay in Sishui County. Tell me, why do you have a grudge against Meng Yi?"

"General Meng Tian, ​​if I say that Meng Yi was a person who helped Tuan before, would you believe me?"
