Chapter 41 Accident

He Chaoci narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward, and stopped at a certain position.

Shi Yi followed his line of sight, his eyelids twitched, and he immediately took someone to check it carefully.

Half an hour later.

Shi Yi trotted up to He Chaoci with a serious look on his face, "It has been found out. This incident was not caused by human nature, it was just an accident."

He Chaoci opened his lips lightly, "Where is the person?"

Shi Yi raised his hand slightly and immediately There were several tied up strong men who were pushed in.

Several people lowered their heads in unison, with dejected expressions.

They subconsciously wanted to break free from the restraints on their hands, but when they raised their eyes, they saw He Chaoci.

Several people were suddenly excited. Regardless of the ropes on their bodies, they moved their knees and tried to get closer to He Chaoci.

Shi Yi kicked him hard a few times and said, "Be honest!"

The few people became more honest in an instant.

Seizing every opportunity, he kowtowed to He Chaoci, "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I didn't mean it, please give me another chance."

He Chaoci sat above him and tapped the table with his fingers. , looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.

He raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yi, "What's going on?"

Shi Yi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to He Chaoci respectfully, and said calmly: "They were not the ones who were originally responsible for guarding the house. A few, but one of the original people had something to do, so he changed the time with the others."

He paused briefly, and then continued: "These people should be guarding during the day, but now they are all at night. , I didn’t pay attention to the time or the fire next to me, and my carelessness led to this appearance."

He said while secretly glaring at a few people.

Everyone knows clearly what the current situation in Hancheng is.

At this juncture, it is even more urgent and there is no room for error.

But at such a moment, all the houses used to store things were burned to the ground!

And according to the original plan, the first group of people can leave here smoothly tomorrow at midnight.

Now, things are a lot more troublesome.

He Chaoci pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Where is the person who was originally responsible for guarding?"

Shi Yi raised his head and looked outside, then silently withdrew his gaze. The next moment, three more people were escorted in, their faces They all looked panicked.

When he came in, he stumbled and stood up quickly, not even daring to look at He Chaoci.

They kept their heads lowered and just knelt on the ground.

Shi Yi took a step forward and pointed to the three people who came in later, "These three people were the people who were originally responsible for guarding. They heard the rumor from somewhere. They heard that the prince would be the first to release a group of people to the next state and county. , and this group of people was abandoned. They didn't want to be the first group of people to leave the city, so they found a way out for themselves in advance."

He Chaoci paused and turned to look at the people kneeling on the ground. A few straight people.

When they felt a hot gaze above their heads, several people trembled involuntarily.

For a moment, the scene fell into an inexplicable silence.

He Chaoci raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

The three of them suddenly looked up, and suddenly met He Chaoci's cold eyes. In just a moment, they silently looked away.

All of them pursed their lips tightly and turned their heads to the side.

Finally, a tall and thin man suddenly raised his head and said in a medium voice: "Your Majesty, my subordinates did something wrong in this matter."

However, his tone was very firm, " But people will be destroyed for their own sake, and we are also thinking about ourselves. Since you originally wanted to give up a group of people, but we don't want to be given up, and we are not willing to follow a master like you anymore, so we have no choice."

He Chaoci said silently . He raised his head and looked at the speaker, "So this is your choice?"

The man remained silent, but the meaning he expressed was self-evident.

Shi Yi clicked his tongue, "Where did you hear all this nonsense?"

He carefully looked at He Chaoci and found that his expression did not change much.

"Just tell me, did you originally plan to send people away from here?" the man suddenly asked.

He Chaoci nodded without thinking, "Yes."

In order to ensure the safety of those leaving, he thought that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

In order for everyone to be more secure, no one knows about it except the selected people.

He Chaoci calmed down his thoughts, but he didn't expect that someone would think of running away with just a few unfounded words.

Seeing He Chaoci nodded, several people felt a lot more at ease.

Are they wrong?

Nothing wrong.

After all, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

He Chaoci stood up, picked up the piece of paper in front of him, and then tore it up completely in front of everyone.

On it were the names of all the guards.

Everyone was stunned.

Shi Yi quickly took a step forward and called out with some confusion, "Your Majesty..."

He Chaoci immediately raised his right hand slightly, stopping what he wanted to say.

He turned his head and cast his gaze on a few of them, "I don't care what caused your escape, but the result has happened, and now it's a fact."

"How important this house is to everyone, so are you. You know, but now it's been destroyed." He Chaoci raised his right hand and waved directly, "Then let's deal with it according to military regulations!"

The emperor had already given him privileges on this journey. Those who have made mistakes can be punished according to military regulations.

Upon hearing this, several people quickly raised their heads and looked at each other.

Panic suddenly appeared on their faces, and they opened their mouths, as if they wanted to continue begging for mercy, but Shi Yi and others quickly found a piece of cloth and blocked their mouths.

Several people kept shaking their heads, and in the end they could only let others pull them out.

Suddenly there were only three people left in the back room who had been captured for escaping.

At this moment, they were all silent.

He Chaoci put his right hand behind his back and walked forward slowly, "As for the three of you, what you have done has seriously violated the rules, so each of you will receive thirty whips and thirty military sticks. Can you accept the punishment?"

The three of them raised their heads. At this moment, a look of suspicion flashed across his face.

He Chaoci paused and then said: "After you have endured all this, you will be free."

After saying this, the three of them were excited and kowtowed to He Chaoci.

He Chaoci stepped out directly.

"The prince is so easy to talk to today?"

"Yes, I didn't expect to agree so easily."

"Whatever, we will be free from now on, and we won't have to worry about being scared here anymore." There
