The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 143 Meeting Ceremony

But even though he was thinking this way, it didn't show on his face, and his tone didn't change. He was still very tough, as if he didn't see the gift.

"I don't know, how does General Changsun explain why he led the army to capture the city of Yan State privately? Although I don't have the right to punish you, I have the right to report."

As he said that, Hu Yaozhong cupped his hands in mid-air to show respect.

"Hehe, I want to wait until County Magistrate Hu has finished reading this gift before discussing this matter." Changsun Ji said with a smile.

County magistrate Hu looked at Changsun Ji's smiling face, and thought to himself, "It's exactly as I expected. This guy, he was hard on himself when he first came up, but when he saw that he didn't accept this trick, he immediately softened."

Secretly despise a bit.Hu Yaozhong thought: "Nowadays the famous Marquis of Liu'an, his eldest son is actually such a bastard, he can't hold back at all, and he doesn't wait for me to show it off, but this is also good, and it will be more convenient for me to increase my bargaining chips in the future. .”

He still didn't use to go forward to open the gift, but he just looked unmoved by money.

Seeing him like this, Changsun Ji didn't say anything, just smiled, waved his hand, and signaled Wang Gang to open the gift.

Wang Gang nodded, stepped forward consciously, picked up the box from the table, held it in both hands and handed it to Hu Yaozhong, beckoning him to open the gift box.

Hu Yaozhong saw that Sun Ji had already put the gift in front of him, so it was not good to ignore it.After all, he was still in his hands, so he didn't dare to push Changsun Ji too hard.

He stretched out his hands, lifted the red silk on the gift box, and then opened the lid of the box.However, he only opened it halfway, and with a shake of his hands, he closed the box back again.

However, the original serious expression on his face was gone, replaced by a look of horror, as if the gift box was not a gift, but something frightening.

Seeing Hu Yaozhong's face change instantly, the speed is no less than the face-changing trick he saw in his previous life.It was so funny that Changsun Ji couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why? Magistrate Hu doesn't like the gift I prepared for you?" Changsun Ji asked with a smile.

Seeing the eyes of Changsun Ji looking over, Hu Yaozhong dodged a little, and said with a dry smile: "I like it, I like it. I like everything that General Changsun gave me. A young man like General Changsun gave me something just to give me face. .How can I have no reason not to like it."

"That's good. I'm still afraid that County Magistrate Hu doesn't like the gift I chose. Since County Magistrate Hu likes it, I can rest assured." Changsun Ji said.

"Wang Gang, what are you still doing in a daze? Haven't handed over the gift to County Magistrate Hu yet."

Hearing Changsun Ji's order, Wang Gang stretched his hands forward, motioning for Hu Yaozhong to take the box.

However, Hu Yaozhong's face was a little ugly. Although he just glanced in panic just now, he could see clearly what was inside.

There are no gifts, some are just a human head, and the owner of this human head is very familiar to him, that is, the county lieutenant who has been with him for many years.

Although his heart was very responsive, under Changsun Ji's gaze, Hu Yaozhong still stretched out his trembling hands to take the box from Wang Gang, and put it in his arms.

"Okay, now magistrate Hu still wants to talk about my private attack on the city?"

"No, no. Young Master Changsun broke into my city because he was worried that traitors and officials would sneak into my city. To us officials and common people who keep our own law and order, you have meritorious service, so why should you be guilty?" Hu Yaozhong laughed. He licked his face and said, no longer have the rigid attitude just now.

"Very well, since I have done nothing to Dunqiu, let's talk about your sins."

Hu Yaozhong smiled wryly, and said, "Well, I don't know how the general thinks my crime is counted."

Looking at the head of his former colleague in his arms, knowing that Changsun Ji killed himself is just a matter of words.Now Changsun Ji didn't dare to refute what he said, he only hoped that he could escape from this killing god safely.

"How do you calculate? You have been in the position of the county magistrate for many years, so tell me what is the crime of contacting the rebel army privately and intending to send the city to the rebel army?"

"This." Hu Yaozhong's face was already sweating, he raised his wide sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Changsun Ji, seeing Changsun Ji staring at him, he couldn't help swallowing Spit in one mouthful.

"Well, according to Dayan's law, as long as you participate in anything related to rebellion, you will be killed without mercy." Under the gaze of Changsun Ji, Hu Yaozhong finally couldn't bear the pressure and said it.

"Very well, since you know what will happen, then I don't need to say any more, just tell me the truth."

As soon as Changsun Ji finished speaking, Hu Yaozhong's face changed instantly. He originally thought that Changsun Ji asked him to say this law to find an excuse for the death of the county captain, but he didn't expect that Changsun Ji wanted to deal with him directly.

"What are you going to tell me? General Changsun, I don't know anything." Hu Yaozhong said with trembling words with a mournful face.

"What else can I explain? Explain the collusion with the Liangjun, and you don't have to pretend anymore. Your colleague, the county lieutenant, has already explained you clearly." Changsun Ji said with a playful face.

With a sound of "thumping", the box in Hu Yaozhong's hand fell out of his hand, and the human head in the box rolled out because the lid of the box was thrown off.

But Hu Yaozhong couldn't care about him anymore, he knelt on the ground at once, and begged Changsun Ji: "General Changsun, you have to trust me, I have no collusion with Liangjun, I have nothing I know, everything was done by the county lieutenant, I don't even know when he colluded with the rebels."

"You have to believe me. It's unbelievable that he was biting people before he died. General, I really didn't collude with the rebels." Hu Yaozhong cried.

"I don't know all this."

Changsun Ji looked at Hu Yaozhong who was kneeling on the ground with a look of disgust, his nose was full of tears, he was so frightened by himself, and he no longer had the upright and awe-inspiring look when he just came here.

Now it can be described as ugly.

Changsun Ji looked at him with not only disgust but also contempt.I don't know if the fat has grown to the brain.He didn't even think about it for himself, if he really wanted to kill him, why did he have to talk to him so much, he would have dragged him out with the county lieutenant long ago.

It's not that Changsun Ji doesn't want to kill this guy directly, but that if he kills him now, he will still make trouble for himself.Dunqiu is not only unmanaged, but it may also be a breakthrough for the Liang army to cross the river.
