Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hou Yutian was actually in the martial arts school, but in an unknown dark basement.  The dim candlelight reflected the gloomy face of Qian Jiang opposite. The naked-chested men all around looked at him with eager eyes. Hou Yutian's forehead began to sweat.

    Carved on a huge screen behind the Qianjiang River is the mythical beast Haechi. Haechi is also called Renfa Beast. It is a strange beast in ancient legends. It is said that it looks like a sheep, has black hair, four legs, and a single horn on its head. It is good at distinguishing.  When he sees people fighting, he will touch those who are not straight with his horns. Therefore, it is also called the straight-discriminating beast, which touches evil.  When people have conflicts or disputes, unicorns can use their horns to point at the unreasonable party, and can even use their horns to kill those who deserve death, making the offenders shudder.  Gaotao, the criminal officer of Emperor Yao, once kept a breed of Haechi. He used Haechi to help him identify crimes and doubts when he was in charge of the prison. Whenever there were difficult and unresolved matters, he learned the Haechi's judgment and it was always accurate.  The Haechi was originally a mythical beast that was often carved in the government offices of the Qing Dynasty. It was not commonly used in the Taiping Army's criminal department and government offices. Why does it appear here?

    Suddenly there was a coughing sound from behind the screen, which seemed to be a woman's voice. Qian Jiang heard the sound, put down the file in his hand, squinted his small eyes and said coldly: "Hou Yutian, do you know what you have committed?"

    Hou Yutian wanted to stand up angrily, but he couldn't break free from the shackles on his waist, hands and feet. He shouted angrily: "I am a general of the New Army. The Ministry of War should be in charge. Your Intelligence Department has no right to arrest me! Even if I am guilty, I will be punished by the Ministry of War."  Come and judge me!"

    Qian Jiang sneered sinisterly and said: "You are still stubborn here. In the Battle of Guangde, you deliberately missed your schedule, causing most of Hu Yihuang's forward troops to escape. What do you have to say?"

    Hou Yutian said anxiously: "The route mentioned by the guide sent by the division headquarters does not match the map issued by the staff headquarters. I am being cautious and sending someone to find out the route before taking action. What's wrong with that?"

    Qian Jiang laughed a few times.  Throwing down a few letters, he said coldly: "You and Hu Yihuang exchanged thirteen letters. They are all here. Do you want me to read them all?"

    Hou Yutian was speechless with his mouth wide open, and Qian Jiang continued: "Three days ago, after you received the order from the Ministry of War, you gathered five of your confidants, generals and commanders, to discuss secretly. You wanted to take your troops and horses to the Eastern King, but later the Ministry of War  Send someone quickly to take over your troops, and after listening to your military supplies, you gave up this idea. And you have to go back to Shanghai, right?!"

    Hou Yutian's face turned red and he said angrily: "You are slandering me because of your slander!"

    Qian Jiang presented several confessions and said, "Your five confidants, the generals, have all confessed, do you still want to deny it?"

    Hou Yutian's face instantly turned pale, and he said naa-na: "We just want to go back to Tianjing to see that they are all the Taiping Army. I think it is not a big crime to defect to the East King."

    Qian Jiang angrily scolded: "Shameless! The King of the West treats you so kindly, but you actually have two minds!"

    Hou Yutian seemed to be willing to take the risk. He raised his head and said loudly: "I've been through life and death, conquering the east and west, not just for the sake of wealth. Over in the East Palace, people like me have long been prime ministers and marquises, but the King of the West has done this  What kind of new army is this? I worked my butt off to be on an equal footing with Feng Zicai, a later man, how could the King of the West treat me so favorably?! I am just being honest with him!"

    Qian Jiang had not yet been born to refute, and a woman behind the screen sighed quietly and said: "You white-eyed wolf who can't support your family, don't you know that you are the king of the West, those lands and assets you bought with the help of your official position?" He just thought about it  Your old love that went through life and death allowed you to keep the ill-gotten gains, which can be considered as some compensation for you. I didn't expect that you are really greedy."

    Hou Yutian¡¯s expression changed and he said in a trembling voice: ¡°Who is behind the screen?¡±

    There was a gentle sound of footsteps, and only the flower of peace was seen.  The only Queen of the West, Hong Xuanjiao, the Queen of the West, walked out from behind the screen. Under the dim light, she was dressed in a yellow robe with a hood, and she was still so graceful.

    "Just because your official position is not as good as others, you have betrayal in your heart, so I can't keep you." Hong Xuan said softly, his voice was still as crisp and heroic, but the cold meaning in his words made Hou Yutian shudder.

    "Xiao Chaogui didn't dare to kill me by himself, but he asked you, a woman, to kill me?!" Hou Yutian shouted hoarsely: "Mother Xi Wang, when you and I joined forces to fight against the enemy in the ruined temple in Xiangyin, I saved my life.  your!"

    Queen Xi smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, when we went to Xiangyin to pick up Mr. Zuo's family, you were among the male soldiers. Later we went to Xiangtan, defeated Hengyang, and fought fiercely at Siye Mountain. You were there when we attacked Yueyang and fought in Wuchang.  , defeated Jiujiang, and fought all the way to Tianjing City, you were also there. You were still there when we fought against Shanghai, defeated Hangzhou, and defeated Ningbo. We all know your military exploits, and you are indeed a meritorious minister."

    After hearing this, Hou Yutian raised his eyebrows and said slightly proudly: "It's good that Queen Xi Wang still remembers it. Since my subordinates have made so many achievements, I can't punish them without guilt."

    ? ?The queen sneered and said: "You are punished for not being guilty. It is true that you are not guilty to the Kingdom of Heaven. You just want to seek refuge with the King of the East, and you do not want to surrender to the demon. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot be punished. That's why you are guilty."  The Intelligence Department and I are here to deal with you double-minded people."

    Seeing that Queen Xi¡¯s cold face was definitely not a joke, Hou Yutian¡¯s expression changed and he said in a trembling voice: ¡°Mother Xi, my subordinate has made great achievements, do you really dare to kill me?¡±

    Queen Xi said calmly: "Since the confrontation with the East Palace, our Intelligence Department has secretly arrested no less than a thousand people in Sufu Province, and among them there are many who have made great military achievements and hold great power like you. Don't you understand?  The confrontation with the bright swords and guns in the East Palace is just a prelude. Both King Xi and I want to see who will jump out impatiently. As long as he is not with us, no matter how great his military exploits and authority are,  We must also resolutely make him disappear. The more you have the greater military exploits and authority, the greater the harm will be if you rebel in the future, so it is better to deal with him early."

    After hearing this, Hou Yutian's face turned pale. He knew that the King of the West was determined to eradicate the dissidents in the military and political affairs of Sufu Province. People like him who were loyal to the King of the East or Tianjing must be eradicated. The disloyalty of the King of the West must be eradicated.  His heart has become clear.

    "Mother of the West, give me a chance. I did something wrong this time. I will be loyal to the King of the West from now on and will never change my mind!" Hou Yutian was able to betray from the Qing army camp to the Taiping army camp. His integrity  Absolutely not. As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately began to beg for mercy.

    Queen Xi's pretty face smiled slightly, and then she said with a cold face: "Once unfaithful, a hundred times unfaithful, you have missed the opportunity to stand in line." Then she turned back to Qian Jiang and said: "There is no need to ask any more, the facts are clear, bring me  Go next door and hang him, leaving his body intact!"

    Hou Yutian struggled and shouted unwillingly: "I want to see the King of the West, I want to see the King of the West! Hong Xuanjiao, you are a vicious woman who indiscriminately kills the meritorious generals of the Kingdom of Heaven. You are a demon sent by Satan!"

    Queen Xi watched coldly as several powerful men from the intelligence department grabbed Hou Yutian, and said calmly: "The King of the West will not see you. It is always better for me to do the killing of heroes. The reputation of the King of the West is still good."  To stay.¡±

    Hou Yutian was caught by several big men. He struggled endlessly: "I want to see the King of the West. I will be loyal to the King of the West from now on. Hong Xuanjiao, you vicious woman, you don't let me see the King of the West. You must be falsely spreading the news to the King of the West."  The king has decreed that if you kill the generals indiscriminately, the Heavenly Kingdom will lose one of its generals!"

    Queen Mother Xi shouted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, I only want the entire West Palace to have only one voice. It's best to resolve the unstable factors like you as soon as possible! Don't delay it any longer!"

    Hou Yutian's yelling and cursing slowly stopped after he reached the next door. Qian Jiang picked up his ink pen and drew a red cross on Hou Yutian's name on the roster. The entire roster was densely packed with names with red crosses. Seeing this, Qian Jiang couldn't help but  The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.  He secretly glanced at Xi Wang Niang. Her face was still calm and bright, as if nothing had happened. Qian Jiang couldn't help but swallowed. He had another life on his hands.

    In recent months, due to the military confrontation between the East Palace and the West Palace, many people have been involved. The Queen of the West has made overall arrangements in Shanghai, and spies from the Intelligence Department and Bai Zetang have been everywhere. Anyone who has colluded with the East Palace has been captured by the intelligence  Si was captured, interrogated, and then executed secretly.  Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er have no way to deal with such a thing. The struggle for power has always forced people to choose sides, and those who are on the wrong side must be eliminated. If the West Palace is not stable, what else can they do?  To seize the power of Tianjing?  Taking advantage of this opportunity, some people will reveal their flaws, which just gives Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er the opportunity to get rid of the unstable factors.  The West Palace has always been a branch of the Taiping Army. To kill these people, we can only kill them secretly. It is impossible to lay any charges. Otherwise, the more involvement there is, the bigger the flaws will be exposed. Therefore, this matter is simply left to Hong Yun'er and the Intelligence Department.  Come and do it.  Hong Yun'er thought that she was a woman who didn't care about the reputation. As long as King Xi's reputation was not there, she would be fine.  The fact that a woman can willingly bear these charges for a man shows that Hong Yun'er has deep affection for Xiao Yungui.

    This purge of the West Palace was later known as the Yimao Sufu Incident. About 1,500 generals and officials of the West Palace of Sufu Province were secretly purged. Hou Yutian was just a microcosm.  The reasons for their betrayal of Xidian and Xiwang were also varied, but the end was the same, which was to completely disappear physically.  The local officials did not know about the disappearance of these people. Many officials even offered rewards to find them. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel were also searching for them all over the world, but few people knew that these people's bones had been buried in the Shanghai Martial Arts School.

    Hong Yun'er took a long breath, looked at Qian Jiang and said, "You can handle the people behind, but remember not to accuse good people unjustly."

    Qian Jiang responded. At this time, a person from the Intelligence Department came in and reported that the King of the West invited the Queen of the West to come over.

    Hong Yun'er said a little strangely: "What happened?What a big deal?  King Xi is so anxious to find me.  "

    After someone from the Intelligence Department sent today's information, Qian Jiang opened it and said in a voiceless voice: "Urgent report from Hunan, Changsha has been lost!"
