第8章 国贼授首,霸业开基（1 / 2）

半个时辰后，县衙大堂。

安喜官吏乡绅齐聚於此，堂下人头攒动，却鸦雀无声。

刘备高坐主位，关羽按刀立於左，张飞环眼视於右。

三人不发一言，自有一股沙场之气，压得堂下眾人不敢抬头。

堂下，一个鬚髮皆白的老者被眾人推了出来。

老者颤巍巍上前，长揖一礼。

“敢问刘將军，程县令……如今身在何处？”

刘备起身还了一礼。

“老丈放心，程县令无恙。”

那老者微微頷首，而后肃穆开口道：

“將军引兵入城，既无朝廷詔令，亦无郡府文书，此举……於理不合，於法不容啊。”

“我等皆为汉臣，不敢从乱命，以免身负不义之名。”

“放屁！”

张飞闻言，环眼一瞪，当即按刀踏步而出。

“再敢污我大哥是反贼，爷爷我先劈了你这老梆子！”

刘备眉头一蹙，低喝道：

“翼德！退下！”

而后，他对著堂下眾人朗声道：

“备乃汉室宗亲，兴此义兵只为討贼，绝无反意。”

“空口无凭！”

人群中，忽有一声传来。

“將军若非反贼，便当退兵出城，將此城归还程县令。”

“不错！当退兵出城！”

“交还城池！”

堂下鼓譟声渐起。

刘备握紧了腰间剑柄。

就在此时，手中持著一卷书信的楚夜自屏风后走出。

“诸位要说法，这便是说法。”

楚夜展开手中书信，示於眾人。

“此乃程某暗通黄巾，欲献城以求富贵的亲笔信！”

堂下瞬间安静，但那白髮老者依旧强作镇定，反驳道：

“单凭一纸书信，如何作证？岂非是屈打成招，或是构陷偽造？！”

楚夜似乎早有所料，不急不缓从袖中又掏出一物：

“这是我在程林妾室房中，搜出的与贼首张宝的往来礼单。上面时间、人物、財物，一清二楚！”

“如今人证物证俱在，铁案如山！谁敢再言，便与程林同罪连诛！”

此言一出，那几个带头鼓譟的乡绅顿时面无人色，身躯带颤。

“带程林！”

楚夜一声令下。

披头散髮的安喜县令程林，被两名甲士押上堂来，掷於当中。

程林看著满堂乡绅，又看了一眼楚夜手中的信，惨然一笑。

那鬚髮皆白的老者脸色数变，最终长嘆一声，对著刘备拜了下去。

“程林既是国贼，將军將其诛杀，乃是为我安喜除害。”

“眼下城中不可一日无主，城外亦有流民待安。”

“老朽与眾乡绅，请將军暂掌印信，代领县事，以安地方。日后郡守府自有公断。”

堂下乡绅亦是如梦初醒，呼啦啦跪倒一片。

“愿暂奉將军號令！”

程林看著这群人，眼中满是怨毒。

“尔等食我俸禄，今竟卖主求荣，我便是在九泉之下，也等著你们！”

他发出一声尖厉嘶嚎，而后挣扎著爬起，朝著堂上一根立柱，奋力撞去。

砰！

一声闷响。

程林软软倒下，血自额头渗出，染红了地砖。

堂下，一片死寂。

楚夜走上前，自程林怀中，取出官印，又拾起那封带血的罪证。

他將两样东西俱呈予刘备。

“大哥！”

“国贼已诛，民心所向！”

“此城，当由你主之！”

堂下眾人，齐声高呼。

“请明公为我等做主！”

“……”

刘备默然不语，只是怔怔看著那根染血的廊柱。

许久，他方才低下头，看向那枚尚沾著程林鲜血的官印。

漂泊半生，织席贩履，备受冷眼。

匡扶汉室……匡扶汉室……

难道就要用这等手段开始？

自己，竟要用此等手段，来行匡扶之事？

刘备脑海中回想起了恩师卢植的教诲：

“行事当循大道，不可为权谋所惑。”

自己所为，有负恩师之教诲。

刘备的手紧紧握拳，想要將楚夜手中的官印砸碎。

但他又想起了云长和翼德的默默追隨，想起了四弟的辛苦筹谋。

若连立足之地都无，明日又该託付何处？

我等匡扶汉室之志，难道真要变成一句无处安放的空谈？

刘备深吸一口气，伸手，接过了那枚官印。

匡扶汉室……

这曾经遥不可及的四个字。

如今，有了切实的份量。

著实不轻的份量。

刘备缓缓抬起头。

望见关羽眼中决绝，张飞眼中期盼，还有楚夜那双平静眼眸。

而在帐外，五百將士眼神正渴望著安定。

他心中忽有一问。

“恩师教我行王道，救苍生。可这乱世，王道之路，竟要以霸道之术来铺就么？”

他似嘆非嘆道。

“也罢，若苍生因此能得一线生机，这行诡道之骂名，便由我刘备，受之！”

当他再次开口时，声音嘶沙，却已稳如泰山。

“诸位，请起。”

“备，定不负眾望。”

“……”
