Chapter 444: Trouble in the Court

Faced with the captain's loud shouts and questions, he responded with a cold glare and curses. He was in an extremely bad mood at this time. At the moment, he still didn't know what crimes these veterans had committed, but even if they were really guilty, the court should not kill them.

, because he brought these veterans back, and the court's killing of these veterans was tantamount to slapping him in public.

Furthermore, revealing one's identity in public this time is likely to make everyone's hard-fought plan to bring the tiger back to the mountain a failure. If the Japanese pirates get the news, they will immediately try to recall the eight major families who have returned to support their country.

When the school captain who stepped forward to ask questions saw that he dared to insult him, he couldn't keep his face in front of everyone. He immediately lowered his hand and drew his sword, "Trespassing to the execution ground..."

Before the captain finished speaking, Yu Yi dismounted from his horse and pushed the captain's half-drawn sword back into its sheath with his backhand, "Don't seek death."

Seeing Yu Yi stop himself from drawing the sword, the captain glared angrily and tried to draw the sword again, while all the soldiers guarding the execution ground also moved closer.

"It's okay if you don't have eyes. You don't even have ears?" Yu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked around at everyone.

Hearing Yu's words, the captain and the nearby soldiers came to their senses. The people who were about to be executed on the execution ground had clearly called out the general just now. Could it be that the young man riding the black horse in front of him was the general of the imperial court?

Just when the captain and the soldiers were doubtful and hesitant, the three execution officers on the execution stage left their seats and stood up. The leader asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming, and why did they rush into the execution ground?"

There were many onlookers outside the execution ground. They did not want to reveal their identity, so they ignored this person.

Yu Yi put his hand into his arms, took out a golden seal and threw it at the supervisor. One of the supervisors was a military attache. When he saw something flying, he subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.

When he saw the inscription on the gold seal clearly, the man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly showed the gold seal to the other two supervisors. When they saw this, they were also shocked and stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Yu Yi.

, "See General."

"Suspend the execution and drive people to clear the place." Yu Yi ordered in a deep voice.

Hearing Yu's words, the three supervisors beheaded the officials.

After showing their faces and looking at each other in confusion, the leader of the supervisor asked cautiously, "As far as I know, there is no female third-rank general in the imperial court. This golden seal of yours..."

Before the person could finish speaking, Shi Xuanming interrupted him, "Do you suspect that her official seal was stolen?"

The three supervisors lowered their heads and said nothing, just taking it as acquiescence.

Seeing this, Shi Xuanming also took out a gold seal and threw it over, "I stole one too."

That day, after the emperor learned that they had been attacked by the Four Mountain Villas outside the city, he personally left the palace to visit the inn. That night, he not only sent five cloaks tailor-made for the five people, but also brought four gold seals to bind them.

All four of them were conferred the title of third-grade general.

The military attaché who was supervising the execution was so frightened that he failed to catch the pure gold official seal that Shi Xuanming threw onto the execution platform. When the gold seal fell to the ground, he hurriedly picked it up and inspected it nervously.

At this moment, two more identical gold seals were thrown onto the execution platform, one belonged to Yang Kai and the other belonged to Da Tou. Seeing that everyone on his side was in trouble, Da Tou also rushed over from the east of the city.

The official seals of the imperial court all have special shapes and are extremely difficult to imitate. Moreover, only officials of the third rank and above can use gold seals. The purity of the gold used to cast the official seals is also extremely high. In a matter of seconds, four official seals of the third-rank generals were thrown in, and three supervisory officials were cast.

They were completely frightened. In fact, they didn't know who the people were until the moment before. It wasn't until Big Tou threw the golden seal that they guessed the origins of several people based on Big Tou's dwarf figure.

It’s a dog’s eye.” “Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, we are just following orders.” “Ah, ah, oops...”

It's normal for them to be afraid, and it's normal for them to be frightened and faint, because although they have never seen the shadow of a tree, they know what they have done before. When they were serving as imperial censors, they once

They went on a mass killing spree in Jeju and Liju, killing dozens of officials at once, including many high-ranking officials. However, the three of them were only in the sixth rank, so there was no scruple in killing them.

When they saw the prison officers, they all knelt down to plead guilty. The school captains and soldiers were even more frightened and even knelt down in fear. Upon seeing this, Yu Yi immediately gave the order with a straight face, "Clear the place and disperse the crowd."

Everyone in the world likes to watch the excitement, but little does anyone know that people who like to watch the excitement are the most annoying. Subconsciously, they hope to use other people's misfortune to set off their own mediocrity, so as to obtain the dark inner comfort and gossip.

After hearing Yu's words, the captain immediately led the soldiers and began to drive away the onlookers. It is a common problem for most officials to bully the weak and fear the strong. They were afraid, but not afraid of the onlookers. They shouted loudly, beat and pushed them, and quickly dispersed all the onlookers.

"What crime have they committed?" Chong asked the chief supervisor.

There are three supervisors, one chief and two deputies. One of the older deputies has fainted from fear. That military attache is also the deputy supervisor. The leader is about forty years old. Judging from the official uniform, he should be a sixth-grade Xiazhou Sima.

.

Hearing the question, the supervisor replied tremblingly, "My lord, they committed a serious crime of treason."

Without waiting for an answer, the seven veterans who were tied up and kneeling on the execution platform shouted, "General, we were wronged. We did not commit rebellion."

"Stop shouting, the prince has his own plans." Datou waved his hand to stop him.

"It's impossible for them to rebel," Zhengse said. "There must be a hidden secret in this matter. File, send someone back to get the file."

Hearing the words, the supervisor hurriedly called to the school lieutenant who was in charge of security, and ordered him to ride back and get the files for the interrogation of the seven people.

"Untie them," said the prison officer.

"Your Majesty, they are all prisoners on death row approved by the Ministry of Punishment.

Dare you release me privately?" The supervisor and executioner were very worried.

The beheading officer had concerns, but Datou didn't care. He immediately stepped onto the stage, cut the ropes, and released all seven people to be beheaded.

Everyone escaped death and immediately ran to him, knelt down and kowtowed, crying and complaining about their injustice.

He had not dismounted before, but when he saw everyone kneeling down, he hurriedly dismounted and helped him, "Don't be anxious, there must be something fishy about this matter, let me find out the reason."

After saying this, Yu Yi spoke up, "Tell me the causes and consequences in detail, and don't make any omissions or concealments."

After hearing Yu Yiyan's words, everyone began to talk about it.

Not everyone can give a concise and accurate statement. These veterans have little knowledge and are confused when speaking. It took them a long time to sort out the clues. In fact, the matter is not complicated. The veterans who returned from the Western Regions were received by the emperor in Chang'an that day.

Although they were given the title of Knight Commander, they were unable to perform their duties due to old age and frailty. Afterwards, they each returned to their ancestral homes to take care of themselves.

But when people are sitting at home, trouble comes from the sky. Half a month ago, they were suddenly arrested by the government. They were charged with treason and their crimes were making unreasonable opinions on the government's agenda and slandering the imperial court.

If they really had the intention to rebel, they would not have defended the isolated city in the Western Regions for decades. They did not slander the imperial court, but they had lived in the desert of the Western Regions for many years. When they sent out troops for the expedition, the Tang Dynasty was powerful and famous.

, and the Tang Dynasty has experienced many changes in the past few decades, and the Tang Dynasty today is no longer what it used to be. After they returned, they could not help but compare the Tang Dynasty at this time with the previous one, and they never thought that their conversations would be listened to by people with ulterior motives.

After arriving, the report was taken out of context and given to the government.

They were then arrested and charged with treason.
