Criminal investigation in ancient times

Jiang Yunzhong sneaked back into the city overnight with his servant, his heart was full of enthusiasm. He thought that he was better at studying literature than Gu Yuan, and that he was smarter in being an official than Gu Yuan. It ended up like this.

He must seize this opportunity!As long as you succeed this time, rights, wealth, and everything you want will come true!

Early the next morning, he came to visit the prefect Gu Yuan.Because the two have known each other for a long time, Jiang Yunzhong knew Gu Yuan better than his old lady, so he found Gu Yuan's private seal in his study, and printed it on the straw paper on the table, taking advantage of no one's attention. , quickly folded the toilet paper and stuffed it into his arms.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, Gu Yuan walked in with a smile and said, "Brother Yunzhong, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yunzhong wiped his sweat with his cuff and said, "No...nothing, I suddenly remembered something at home, so I'll go back first."

Seeing his appearance, Gu Yuan thought something had happened, nodded and said, "Do you need my help?"

Jiang Yunzhong shook his head and said, "No...it's nothing." He came out of Gu's residence in a hurry, covered his beating heart and turned around with a sneer, "Gu Yuan, just wait and see!"

After returning home, he took out the straw paper, imitated Gu Yuan's notes, and wrote a letter of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, which also implicated Fu Xing in it, basically saying that he had long been friends with Xiongnu Shanyu, If the Xiongnu Shanyu promised him some benefits, he would persuade Mr. Fu to submit to the Huns.

Then spent most of the family's savings to buy a deaf-mute dead man, and asked him to send the letter outside the city.

The man sneaked up to the city gate with the letter, but was stopped before he could go out. The soldiers found the letter on him and handed it to He Guang.

Sure enough, He Guang was furious after seeing the plan, and almost sent people to kill Gu's mansion. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that if he really killed Gu Yuan, wouldn't he have a rift with Fuxing, so he sent people to take Gu Yuan down and imprison the whole family. In the prison!

Gu Yuan was confused and imprisoned for some reason, only heard that he was in collusion with the Huns.Gu Yuan's injustice, he has never had contact with the Huns, how did he collude with the Huns? !

In order to appease the soldiers in Tongzhou, He Guang suppressed his anger and did not kill Gu Yuan, but when he went out to fight, he was accidentally stabbed in the chest because of distraction!

The guards hurriedly rescued him from the Xiongnu soldiers, but it was extremely dangerous!Back to the city and sent to the barracks, a group of military doctors were helpless. Even though they were given medicine to stop the bleeding, the blood still couldn't stop. One of the old doctors shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I hurt my heart and lungs, and I can't help it."

The guard next to him suddenly had red eyes, grabbed the doctor's clothes and said, "What can't be saved! General, he is brave and will be fine!"

The doctor had never seen such a battle before, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and said: "This old man's medical skills are not good... really... there is really no cure."

"you!……"

The lieutenant next to him pulled him away and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble, doctor, I hope the doctor will not talk too much, let's go down."

The old doctor nodded hastily, and retreated with his medicine box.

The guard choked up and said, "What should we do now? The general is unconscious, and he is about to..."

The lieutenant patted him on the shoulder and said: "This matter must not be disclosed. It was said to the outside world that the general was injured, but it's okay, just rest for a few days and heal."

The personal guard nodded and said: "But the general..."

"In three or four days, the major generals will come back. Once they arrive, let's go out and avenge the general!" As he spoke, his eyes were hot, and he wiped his eyes with a rough hand, looking at the unconscious He Guang I was very anxious.

There were rumors in the army that General Zhenbei was dead, and many soldiers felt uneasy. Seeing the army outside the city shrinking, they actually lost the will to fight.Even the generals have lost to them, can these small soldiers like myself do it?

Huns soldiers shouted outside the city, yelling Zhou Dynasty dialect, "Let your general come out to fight!" Let’s call this a shrunken bastard! Hahahaha”

The Northwest Army standing on the tower suddenly trembled with anger. General Zhenbei is simply a belief in their hearts!How could an existence taller than the emperor be insulted by the Huns!Simply yell at them!

The soldiers in Tongzhou were different from the Northwest Army. Although they didn't want to see the Huns, they didn't have much respect for General Zhenbei in their bones. Seeing the Huns scolding them harshly, they said, "Why doesn't General Zhenbei come out to fight? Is it true?" His injuries are too serious to go to the battlefield?"

After hearing this, the Northwest Army said angrily: "Bah! How could General Zhenbei not come to the battlefield!"

Tongzhou Bing: "Then he came out to fight! Could it be that he has been staying in the city? If our general was here, he would have left the city to fight them all!"

The Northwest Army was so angry that it didn't know what to say, so it could only grunt angrily and continue to yell at the Huns.

The Xiongnu army suddenly attacked the camp at night, and even set up a ladder, planning to attack Chongzhou by force!Looking at the general who was lying on the bed getting weaker and weaker, several subordinates didn't know what to do. They were used to obeying orders on weekdays, but now that He Guang had collapsed, he lost his backbone and had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the troops into battle.

The Xiongnu soldiers climbed up the city wall, and the army shot arrows one after another. One group fell, and more people climbed up. Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers carried a century-old pine and smashed into the city gate.

Accompanied by the muffled sound of "Boom... Boom...", it made people panic.

I don't know who shouted in it: "The Huns are attacking! Chongzhou is broken!" Suddenly, the morale of the army was chaotic, and many people retreated.

At this moment, a shocking voice shouted: "Ge Laozi, let me see who dares to retreat!"

"..."

Fuxing's roar immediately made all the soldiers' blood boil, and the reinforcements came back!Chongzhou is saved!

"Boys, follow me out of the city and drive the Hun dogs back to their hometown!"

"Kill!!!!"

The Xiongnu soldiers outside the city were still in full swing one moment, but they were all dumbfounded the next moment... Those Zhou Dynasty soldiers who had thrown away their helmets and armor just now suddenly came back angrily as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Xiongnu Shanyu took a closer look, okay, isn't that Fuxing who is still on the road to Kyoto in the lead?Is the army already back? !Impossible, the spies came to report, and arrived in Chongzhou in three days, why did they come back tonight!

Of course the army hadn't arrived yet, but Fuxing received a secret report that General He Guang was seriously injured, so he hurried back with a small team of his own, and rushed back in a hurry. It is a group of dragons without a leader, unable to resist the Huns' army at all.

Now as soon as he came back, the army seemed to have taken a reassurance, and followed his momentum to push back outwards. The Xiongnu soldiers were a little stunned by the momentum, and they didn't react, and were surrounded by a group of crazy people. The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty crushed them.

"Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops!" The Hun Marshal who led the troops hastily turned his horse's head and led the army back. Suddenly, the situation fell like a mountain and plummeted. He was chased thirty miles away before he stabilized the morale of the army.The army looked back at the 20 soldiers and horses, and was chased by a mere [-] soldiers and horses.The angry Chanyu directly killed the two leading generals, and Wang Yun did not end well. He was reduced to a commoner and sent to Mafang to feed his war horses.

After this battle, the Xiongnu had already lost their power. In addition to the lack of food and grass, even if they robbed a lot of places, they could not provide for the army.

Three days later, the Northwest army returned from Kyoto. The Xiongnu Shanyu completely gave up attacking Chongzhou and led his troops to retreat to Tongzhou, intending to occupy the three cities in the north.

As soon as He Zixiang got off his horse and rushed to the barracks in Chongzhou, he asked several generals about his father's condition, but they all hesitated and looked ugly, unable to say anything.Seeing this, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and ran in staggeringly, seeing his father lying on the bed with a pale face, with only one breath left, just to wait for him to come back.

"Father!" Seeing this, He Zixiang burst into tears, knelt down and shouted.

He Guang opened his eyes slightly upon hearing the sound, and said with a smile, "My son is back...don't cry...we Northwestern men...bleed...don't cry!"

He Zixiang wiped his face with his sleeve and nodded, "I know."

He Guangdao: "Father's... so careless... I fell into the trap of the Huns, and I'm afraid it won't be long...to be seriously injured." He coughed. "This is the Northwest Army... Father Bingfu gave it to you... Be a good general!"

He Zixiang nodded heavily, and took the soldier talisman from He Guang's hand, feeling his heart sinking continuously.

"General!" "Father!" "My lord..."

He Guang swallowed his breath with a smile. Fortunately, he defended Chongzhou. His fame cannot be ruined here... The only regret is that he can't take another look at my northwest border...

***

He Zixiang received the military talisman and led all the Zhenbei Army to march towards Tongzhou, vowing to drive the Xiongnu out of the Great Zhou Dynasty and avenge his father!

But Fuxing learned from his subordinates that He Guang's death had something to do with the prefect of Chongzhou, and after reading the secret letter, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and directly ordered the letter to be submitted to the capital, and he didn't care about it!Then he also led the troops to Tongzhou with He Zixiang.

After all, Tongzhou was under his jurisdiction. Seeing that Tongzhou was occupied by the Huns, his soldiers were so anxious that they could fly home immediately to solve the siege of Tongzhou!

At this time, Tongzhou's defensive power was revealed-it was really difficult to attack!

Looking at the impregnable city outside the city, the army scolded his mother angrily, who built Tongzhou so firmly back then!

He Zixiang has gone through the pain of losing his father in the past few days, and he has grown amazingly. From a half-hearted general to a cold soldier, he is holding a spear and sitting on a horse. Looking from the back, he looks like General He!No matter it is charging, we are at the forefront!

Fu Xing sighed enviously: "Mr. He did not live in vain, and he should die in peace with such a son as his successor!"

The Xiongnu army is guarding Tongzhou City, and the food and grass are gone?Rob!Do all kinds of evil in the city, burn, kill, loot and wipe out everything!The spies who sneaked into Tongzhou cried out of breath when they saw this, and knelt in front of the camp to let the army attack the city.

The soldiers were all furious when they heard this, and they wished they could kill them immediately!

He Zixiang was sitting in the army, looking at the map of Tongzhou, and his heart moved. It is impossible for all the 20 Huns to be stationed in Tongzhou. I am afraid that there are at most 3 to [-] soldiers in the city. The others must be retreating to the border. There are more than [-] Huns... ...If you send people to sneak into the city and cooperate with the inside and outside, you should be able to take it down.

Immediately they called Fu Xing and Vice General Yang, and they all nodded after discussing, "Although this action is inevitable to meet the enemy head-on, casualties are inevitable, but if there is no more troops, the people of Tongzhou will probably be wiped out!"

After the decision, Fuxing volunteered to sneak into Tongzhou with more than [-] people. After all, he had been the governor of Tongzhou for more than a year, and he was familiar with Tongzhou. When he entered the city, he almost rushed to fight when he saw the Huns everywhere. .It's hard to hold back their outbursts, and there are more important things waiting for them to do.

There are still some stragglers left in Tongzhou. They have been hiding and contacting the outside for the past few days. Now that the two armies are converging, there are as few as 500 soldiers!

Fu Xing said: "There are many dangers this time, and you may die, but look at your wives and children! Can you let them be bullied under the iron hooves of the Huns!"

The soldiers shouted in tears: "No!"

Fuxing said: "Okay! Follow me to kill, and join forces with the army to kill all the Huns in Tongzhou!"

At night, the army outside the city had already prepared and ambushed outside Tongzhou City, while Fuxing led 500 troops to gather from various places and attacked the gate of the city!

Thousands of Xiongnu soldiers guarded the gate of the city. When they were suddenly attacked, they responded immediately. When the two sides fought at one point, Fu Xing roared angrily: "Kill all the Huns!"

The army outside the city was dispatched, and He Zixiang charged out first on horseback, followed by the soldiers and horses behind.Thousands of troops and horses pressed into Tongzhou with the momentum of Kunpeng.

The Xiongnu soldiers in the city were in chaos, thinking that the army had already entered the city!Hearing the roar of thousands of troops, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly opened the city gate to escape, but he didn't expect that there were more soldiers ambushing outside the city, and he fell into He Zixiang's plan. Flee for your life in panic.He Zixiang said angrily, "If you hunt down the remnants of the Huns, not a single one will be left behind!"

……

After the victory in Tongzhou, He Zixiang returned to the northwest with the Northwest Army and the corpse of his father He Guang.

On the day of returning to the city, the sky was cloudy and there was light rain, and the pattering rain wet the clothes of all the soldiers.

With an order, the city gate opened, and the people in the northwest walked out of their homes spontaneously, and stood on the street to welcome the general back to the city, but they never expected to see the general sitting on horseback waving to the people again...

He Zixiang lowered his head, his face already wet with rain and tears. The people looked at the coffin of the carriage in surprise and asked each other in disbelief, "Where is the general?"

A child from an unknown family suddenly ran out from the crowd. The child was only four or five years old, wearing a small leather armor, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and looked at the horse team with his head tilted.The people behind him exclaimed and shouted for him to come back.

He Zixiang got off his horse, stretched out his arms to hug the child and said, "Little guy, what do you want to do?"

The young boy said: "Are you the Great General Zhenbei?"

He Zixiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I am."

The young boy hurriedly said: "I'm going to be a soldier under your command, to defend my home and country!"

"Plop" followed by an old soldier who had retired from the army and knelt down, and people on both sides of the road knelt down in disbelief. He Guang was among the people in the northwest, and that man who looked like a God of War had died.

The westerly wind was bleak, the drizzle was icy cold, making people choke and feel uncomfortable, He Zixiang looked up at the sky and said in his heart: Dad, did you see it?The people of our Northwest are all seeing you off...

***

In the 17th year of Longxing, the Xiongnu invaded. General He Guang raised troops to meet the enemy and defended Chongzhou to buy time for the army. However, he was seriously injured and died because of the Xiongnu's instigation. In the same year, his son He Zixiang took over the Northwest Army and led the army. Fighting against the Huns, this son has the style of his father, and he is better than his father. He led the troops to drive the Huns out of the border, and killed two generals and a prince of the Huns.

The following year, the emperor resumed the imperial examinations. Xiaomin, the son of the Lin family, was highly appreciated in front of the palace because of his ability and political integrity.Lin Cheng also worshiped Zhongshu Shilang because of his outstanding political achievements, and the Lin family suddenly rose to become an upstart in the court.Only the eldest son, Xiaoqing, served as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and was unable to be promoted for a long time.

Except for the Nine Kings, all the princes in the court returned to the fiefdom.The third prince caught wind and cold in the imperial mausoleum and died.
