Chapter 78 Jealousy Burning Under
Dongfang Ao beside him didn't know what Shi Jing was playing. Seeing the military division's look, he was very anxious and afraid that the military division would be deceived by Shi Jing, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He clenched his fists and looked at the military division and the dome nervously.
The needle in the military tent could be heard for a moment. Finally, He Ran opened his mouth and said to the dome, "Don't spread this matter. Just say that he was assassinated."
The dome saluted deeply and choked and said, "Thank you to the military division on behalf of the last general."
He Ran sighed, and then stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "Do you have a share of slowly taking back the department of Dongfang Ao?"
Qiong smiled bitterly and looked at Dongfang Ao. He Ran waved his hand to Dongfang Ao and the banquet group in the tent and said, "You go out first."
Qiongqi waited for them to go out before saying, "For this matter, the general was almost beaten with a military stick. None of the generals who knew the inside story of this matter did not object. The commanders of the two sailors were dismissed for disoance. Alas, Bian Shuai was really... really confused at that time. He heard that the sailors on Su Shuai's side had been severely damaged and knew that he had caused a big trouble. Later, when he heard that the White River Bay was lost, he regretted that he would commit suicide several times.
"So he still wants to get rid of Dongfang Ao on the escort road?" He Ran was angry and couldn't calm down.
The dome sighed and lowered his head and said, "The last general guessed that Bian Shuai had been confused by remorse and despair at that time."
He Ran turned coldly and said, "Such a big thing, knowing that he is wrong, why don't you report it?"
The dome bowed and said, "The last general knew his guilt. At first, he told me that he wanted to make some trouble for Dongfang Ao. I didn't take it too seriously. The last general knew that Bian Shuai was jealous of Dongfang Ao's promotion too fast. He had complained about this in front of me more than once. At first, he thought that he had delayed for two or three days to vent his anger. Who knows... Who knew this delay. It's not over. Those who know this matter are all close to Bian Shuai. We don't want Bian Shuai to be convicted because of this. We have been persuading him, but the more we persuade him, the more energetic he is. It's too late when we want to report to the military division. The last general followed the border marshal for more than ten years. This time, he missed the big deal because of his personal affairs, which also harmed the border marshal. The last general was willing to accept the crime and asked the military division to punish him.
He Ran breathed heavily and said, "At that time, I'm afraid he was looking forward to delaying the army for two days to take the opportunity to encircle Dongfang Ao, let Dongfang Ao suffer a defeat, and then he led the army to rescue again. He was so jealous that he was confused. He took this kind of thing as a joke, and it was a good end for him to die by himself."
Qiong lowered his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the military division. Let Bian Shuai not leave a curse behind him. Before his death, Bian Shuai repeatedly said that he was sorry for the old Duke. After his death, he had no face to see the old Duke. The military division saved his reputation for him. Bian Shuai would definitely appreciate the great kindness of the military division."
He Ran was silent for a while and said, "You can take charge of the marshal's seal first. Although you don't report it, it is also understandable. I will write this article for you in my heart. I hope you can commit a crime in the future and go back to deal with Shi Jing's future affairs. This is over."
The dome bowed and said, "The last general would like to thank the military division, but the last general knows that he is not the talent of the seal. What's more, if he is guilty, he should no longer be a heavy responsibility. Please send another border commander. The last general will do his best to assist Ke Zhonggong to repay the kindness of the military division."
"Let's do this first. I know that you are always resourceful, and your conduct can also convince your subordinates. If you really feel that you are incompetable for a period of time, come to me."
Qiongqi's eyes showed gratitude and said, "The military division treats the last general so kindly, and the last general is engraved in his heart. At this time, I will no longer say anything of gratitude. In the future, we can only use this blood to repay the military division. If you do something against the military division, heaven and earth will not allow people and gods to kill together."
He Ran smiled and said, "Go ahead, I won't go to the city. Don't tell others about me."
The dome understood the intention of the military division and retreated after the ceremony.
He Ran picked up Shi Jing's letter again and read it again, and then moved it to the candle and burned it. Shi Jing's letter detailed the story. Although he did not clearly say that he was jealous of Dongfang Ao, his words showed this meaning. He admitted that he had made a big mistake because of selfishness. He said to himself that at that time, he had lost all his mind and did not know what to do. The casualties of Su Ming's soldiers and sailors made him regretful.
Because of jealousy, because of hatred, he was confused, so that he eventually caused a disaster and destroyed himself. It was the defect of temperament that buried Shi Jing. He Ran knew that he also resented himself as a military sman in his heart. After all, Dongfang Ao pulled it out by himself. He has no sympathy and regret for Shi Jing's death. All he feels is relaxation. Such a person will have an accident even if nothing happens now.
Although the two things of the 8,000 army and Shi Jing passed without danger, He Ran felt more tired than fighting two big battles. Both his body and mind were about to reach the limit he could bear. He did not call Dongfang Ao in, although he knew that Dongfang Ao couldn't wait to know the inside story now, because he didn't want to say more. In a word, he soon fell asleep on the bed paved with soft grass and cotton mats.
The next morning, he sent someone to call back Zhong Tong and the other two bodyguards who were still under surveillance near the Shuangxia City, and ordered the two generals under Zuo Tang to chase the army to return to duty, and then pull out the camp and go to Wanglong City. It was difficult for him to feel at ease for a day if the army did not retreat for a day, but this time he was no longer in a hurry to the past, for several days. The gallop made him unable to stand it.
Dongfang Ao's looking eyes have always been around him. After walking more than 20 miles, he called Dongfang Ao beside him and whispered, "Shi Jing has committed suicide. Let's go. Let's not pursue his guilt anymore. In a few days, I will inform the whole army to wash away your wrong name and reinstate the position."
"But... But how can the military master clear the charges for the villain if he doesn't pursue Shi Jing's guilt? There is no way to explain it." Dongfang Ao was a little unwilling and a little confused.
"Let's say that I lied to you and wronged you. Shi Jing didn't come out that the sailor was afraction of the misreport of the river patrol by the sailors of Shunguo, and he would not be crimined."
"This... Why does the military division suffer the fault of such a person? This is too detrimental to the reputation of the military division. Shi Jing can't give up his death."
He Ran sighed and said, "Forget it, he has made contributions to the country in the past. He was confused and made a mistake for a while, and it's all enough to apologize."
"The military division is considerate of his subordinates. As a person under the military division's account, the villain feels that it is a blessing, but Shi Jing has done too much this time. If he does not show his crime, it may be detrimental to military discipline. Please think twice."
He Ran took a look at him and said, "Military discipline and national law should also be affectionate. If he doesn't die, I will punish him severely. But now he knows that he has committed his mistake. Why must he affect his family and the name behind him? I regard you as brothers. As long as he is not a traitor, I will tolerate him. I have killed my brother as a last resort. I don't want to do such a thing all the time, and the military discipline and national law are not all maintained by severe punishment.
"Yes! The little man has been taught. Dongfang Ao said with a promise and didn't dare to say more.
