Chapter 318: Qinghe County Magistrate Sun Youde Enters the Hall

Because Xiao Jingchuan told him about Li Chengdong being beheaded, Gao Jie was furious. He raised his hand and started fighting with Xiao Lang who was standing next to him!

Huang Degong, who was sitting nearby, saw what was happening and stepped forward to try to make peace. Although he stopped the two men from moving, he was also scolded by Gao Jie, which made him very upset!

As he spoke, Gao Jie shook off Huang Degong's grip and turned his head away!
To express dissatisfaction with this matter!
"Mr. Gao!" Xiao Lang took a step back and raised his hand to brush off his clothes that were messed up by the pulling.

"In Qinghe County, our army has already seized 110,000 taels of dirty silver!"

"Li Chengdong must be kept according to national laws and military regulations!"

"Originally, Xiao was thinking of bringing this fellow to Jinan for trial, and letting you clean up the mess yourself!"

"After all, he is a capable officer under General Gao's command!"

"We are all soldiers, so I understand these rules!"

"Can!"

"This guy resisted capture, was uncooperative, and even spoke in a rebellious tone!"

"Xiao, I had no other choice but to kill him with my sword in court!"

"Whether you believe it or not!"

"That's how it is!" Xiao Shao spoke to ease the tone. He was probably afraid that if things went wrong, the situation would become too serious and difficult to resolve, which would be detrimental to future arrangements!
So stop while you’re ahead!
But after hearing these words, Gao Jie rolled over, still full of energy!
The fight stopped, but in the hall, he began to wonder about the bundle containing the head. He reached out to unbutton it, wanting to check it out.

Seeing him like this, Huang Degong, who was nearby, hurriedly pressed his hand and tried to persuade him again.

"Hey! Gao Yaozi!"

"That's enough! Why are you being so stubborn?"

"You just scolded me, I won't bother with you!"

"But you should go back and examine this head again!"

"The prince is here!"

"This thing has a strong bloody smell, and it may cause a collision with Your Highness!"

"Your sin is really serious!" Huang Degong tried to persuade him.

Hearing this, Gao Jie rolled his eyes and glanced away!

The hand also obeyed and stopped the action!
Afterwards, he just sighed depressedly, and sat back on the chair!

His face was full of hatred and he was gritting his teeth!

"Okay! Xiao!"

"I got you!"

"You're trying to trick me into dying without any evidence, right?!"

"Good! You are very good!" Gao Jie whispered fiercely, with a mean heart, guessing.

"Eh?!"

"Mr. Gao, what do you mean by that?!"

"Li Chengdong asked me to chop him off, but Qinghe County Magistrate Sun Youde is still here!"

"Changting! Go and bring Sun Youde to the hall!"

"I'm asking questions from General Gao!"

In the battle of Qinghe, Xiao Jingchuan rescued Sun Youde and asked him to follow the team to Jinan just for this moment!
Originally, if Gao Jie had not mentioned it at this moment, and the matter of Li Chengdong had gotten to this extent, Xiao Lang might not have taken the initiative to send Sun Youde to the palace, so as to avoid further exacerbating the conflict!
But at this moment, Gao Jie still refused to give up and was very stubborn!

There is no other way, this person has to come on stage!

"Yes!" Chang Ting accepted the order, bowed and left the hall!
After a while, Sun Youde arrived!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am Sun Youde, the magistrate of Qinghe County, and I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"My Lord, long live the prince! Long live the prince! Long live the prince!"

After Sun Youde entered the palace, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was solemn. Also, the crown prince was sitting there. He could not adapt to such a grand scene for a while, so he bowed and paid his respects, looking very timid. He was trembling all over and was very frightened!

"Sun Youde!"

At his side, Xiao Jingchuan, with good intentions, patted his shoulder gently in an attempt to make the old man relax.

But this guy was too nervous, and the moment Xiao Lang's hand touched him, his whole body tensed up and he looked very frightened.

"Haha, don't be afraid!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is presiding over the meeting, so all facts must be told!"

"Everything will be backed by the laws of the country!"

"Uh"

"Those sitting on the left and right sides of this hall are all the generals of Jiangbei!"

"Well, let me ask you this."

Xiao Lang comforted him with kind words, calmed his mind, and wanted to guide him to ask the real thing! But at this juncture!

Gao Jie, however, was very suspicious and interrupted them.

"Eh?! I said my last name is Xiao!"

"Are you asking or am I asking?!"

"Why do you still have to arrange something?" Gao Jie was quite calculating.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, but felt that it didn't matter, so he spread his hands to signal himself to keep silent. "You can do it, go ahead and ask!"
Seeing the situation, Gao Jie snorted coldly, still unwilling to accept it.

"Humph!"

"You! You're called Sun Youde?!"

"You, a minor county magistrate of the 167th rank, have no right to speak in this kind of situation!"

"But today, I have something to ask you, so I dragged you into the hall!"

"Since I've given you the face, you'd better know what's good for you!"

"Damn it, I've already said it in advance!"

"You old bastard!"

"Later, you lied to me about something I asked you about!"

"Humph!"

"I'll chop you to death right here in court. It's as easy as crushing an ant!"

"Did you hear that?!" Before Gao Jie interrogated him, he first threatened him using despicable means.

Seeing this armored general glaring and shouting these words, Sun Youde became even more frightened, and his hands and feet were shaking like sieves!
I think, if he hadn't known that the prince was in front of the hall, he would have tried his best to hold back. I'm afraid that at this moment, the county magistrate, a middle-aged man, would have been scared to pee his pants in the court by Gao Jie!
"Ah! Yes! Yes!"

"No, dare not!"

"I dare not!" Sun Youde stuttered, subconsciously raising his arm and waving it in front of him.

"Humph!"

"Just be sensible!"

"I'm here to ask you!"

"When will Li Chengdong's troops reach your Qinghe County?!" Gao Jie asked sternly.

"Ah, reply to this general!"

"Six, the fourth day of June!" Sun Youde answered truthfully.

"Which gate do you enter the city from?" Gao asked again.

"Ah, he broke in from the east gate!" Sun Hui.

"What kind of horse is Li Chengdong riding?" Gao Jie tried hard to find the man's flaw.

"Uh, go back, go back to the general!"

"This, this official... didn't look too carefully!"

"All I saw was a tall, reddish-brown horse!" Sun Youde answered one by one, and everything he said was correct.

"Humph!"

"See the team entering the city!"

"You were so shameless in order to establish a relationship with him that you used your wife and daughter to seduce him!"

"To pave the way for your crappy career!"

"Is it or isn't it?!" Gao Wei was trying to deceive.

"Fuck, you old official, I've seen a lot of you!"

"Speak! Tell the truth!"

Gao Jie was there at the moment, puffing his beard and glaring, intentionally distorting the facts and raising his tone, in order to cheat, and intimidating Sun Youde in court!

When the people sitting in the hall heard about his actions, they all frowned with embarrassment and looked quite disdainful!
I never thought that Gao Jie would actually act so tricky in front of the prince just to gain some temporary favor. He really has no shame!
On the other hand, Sun Youde had already been questioned, bullied and threatened, and was forced to retreat!

He stuttered!

There was anger on his face and veins on his head bulged!
By the way, if I really used some other reason to deceive him, I'm afraid he would have committed the crime by now!

But this Gao Jie is really not just an ordinary person!
He actually could ridicule the tragic death of someone's wife and daughter!

Even if Sun Youde is extremely frightened and timid, he is still a human being and he has his bottom line after all!
Apparently!

In this section, it will be difficult for Gao Jie to turn black into white because of his cunning and deceit!
