The thirty-eighth chapter in the snow (7)(1/3)
"Or let it go...Her Majesty the Queen gives us face like this, and we have to give it to us too."
"The two armies are fighting. We are small in number. Since we can't take them away, we can just kill them all."
"They are all good players. Even if they are not good enough, they still have their own skills. Those who are willing to surrender will come with us, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed."
"If you ask me, don't worry about it. Let's go now. While it's dark, King Xiongtian and Chief Xu Da are here, escorting the Queen, Xianggong Zhang, Eunuch Gao, Prefect Cao, and that Shen Zhushou, with these
Once the five people leave, the others will be left here. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate and wealth."
"Yes, yes, it's the right time to be frozen to death. If there is a ghost, he will blame Sanhui and Siyu. Being saved is a blessing from his ancestors. Being killed by the rebels is because he does not cultivate virtue..."
"I think it's better to kill them! I'll give you the right punishment! Don't forget, these are the people who have always bullied us and treated us like nothing. Now that they've fallen into our hands, why should we let them go so easily?"
"That's right, and we'll kill them directly! We need to kill Liwei ruthlessly!"
"How to kill to establish authority?"
"Just like what Da Longtou said just now, break the ice and wrap around the rocks to sink down to feed the fish! The fish that come out of the spring water flow will definitely be fat! By then, the locals will think of this as soon as they eat fish, and they will have established their authority."
"It's still too cheap for them..."
"I have an idea. Why not get a waterwheel, tie them to it, cut through the ice, and then let the big faucet roll these people in the ice water a few times according to their positions and crimes, and those who survive will be let go.
When he leaves, the dead ones will sink to feed the fish..."
"Where did the waterwheel come from?"
"If there is no water tanker, people can do it. It's like waterboarding in prison... just press in."
As we all know, Zhang Xing has always been an incompetent person. Before he time traveled, he was a bit of a talker. Since time traveling, he has relied on three magic weapons to survive until now:
One is a compass, which can provide a direct line between life and death when necessary, or provide a clear idea; the other is a cheating device that opens the key of Qi on the body, holding hands and saying hello when necessary, and most of the time making a fortune in a muffled voice; but the last one relies on so-called sincere communication.
Of course, this exchange can be divided into two types in detail. One is that Zhang Xing stands up and takes the initiative to talk, which is a necessary skill for those who have achieved great things in the past and those who have failed to achieve great things, so there is no need to say more.
The other is to rely on extensive listening to opinions, which is the so-called meeting.
As for the so-called soft rice, relying on the protection of Bai Sanniang, so that some people lamented that "a man can bend and stretch", this was definitely the case in the past, but it is no longer mentioned now, because Bai Sanniang has done it herself, and she has to do it.
He will be the heroine of his life...then he will naturally feel at ease.
In short, Zhang Xing was in a meeting at this time.
But as soon as the meeting started, Mr. Zhang Sanye, who was probably not third on the black list, soon realized that the successful raid that was so brilliant last night, which could be called a fatal blow, did not delay himself and these people.
mob.
It doesn’t matter if they are really just a bunch of people. It doesn’t matter if they have weird ideas. The key is that the differences between them are too big. And if you think about it for a moment, you will know that they are not doing it for any overall considerations at all, but more for some superficial reasons.
Statement:
Some people are from the lower class, and because the queen nods, they can't help but be generous to the end; some people, probably because they have been bullied by officials before, can't help but be ruthless and kill them all; and some people are simply worried about being surrendered.
These imperial elites would lower their status in the Deposed Dragon Gang, so they spoke harshly; some even realized the authority of Zhang Dalongtou after this battle, and began to think of ways to flatter him, but they didn't get the idea at all.
These things were even noticed by the group of prisoners who were paralyzed on the ground inside and outside the hall, and because of the fire, even the smell of urine and blood could not be concealed... They all had their legs broken in Zhang Shizhao
While keeping his mouth shut, he frequently looked up to the hall, probably not just because this group of people were discussing his own life and death.
What's more, I am speechless that the life and death of my group of people actually depends on such ignorant country tyrants, robbers, and low-level local officials who I usually look down on.
What's even more speechless is that they fell into the hands of such a rabble.
So who do they think they are?
Is this world so absurd?
"Brother Zhang!"
It was absurd, but the discussion was getting more and more outrageous. Beside the new fire outside the hall, someone finally couldn't help it. "The friendship between colleagues that day, even Huanshui had been here together before, so why is it like this?"
"
"Liu Shiyi." Zhang Xing glanced at each other and faced each other from a distance. "This is a battle between two armies. If you are not captured, you can reminisce about the past. Even if you escaped before, I will admit it. But if you are captured, you will
Where do you come from with so many words?”
"If I don't say anything, I'm afraid I'll be thrown into the water to make ice wontons." Hearing this, the man became more and more anxious. "Brother Zhang, please tell me, how can I survive?"
"It's easy to survive." Zhang Xing sighed and spoke seriously from a distance in the hall. "I remember that you and Liu Taishou of Dongjun were of the same clan. He could leave and take his family papers and property with him...
Do you know why? It’s because they were willing to cooperate and easily disarmed seven or eight counties, dozens of cities, crossings, towns, and cards in Dong County for us..."
"How can I have this ability?" The man was furious. "Only those in the hall have this ability..."
"These people in the hall don't have the ability anymore." Zhang Xing sighed quietly. "The reason why the outside troops don't dare to attack now is not because they gave the order... Therefore, even they can't get away easily.
Everyone has to have an explanation."
"At this point, I just want to survive and I have to explain..." Liu Shiyi was keenly aware of something, but his voice dropped.
"Are your parents and wife all in Dongdu?" Zhang Xing also realized something.
The other party immediately laughed dryly and stopped talking.
The surroundings were silent again.
But the silence didn't last long this time. Soon someone couldn't help shouting: "Master Zhang! I don't know you as well as Mr. Liu, but I am young, have no wife and no children, and have no family."
The Central and Eastern Capitals are in Taiyuan, and even if the Eastern Capital wants to control them, they can't get past the British Duke... If you let me go, I'll let you do great things!"
Zhang Xingbian wanted to answer.
However, just as this person finished speaking, someone else sneered and said: "Master Zhang... you haven't been in Dongdu for a long time, but you don't know the origin of Feng Xunqi. Although he has only been in Taichung for a year, he has gained a great reputation.
, I always like to torture and torture people on weekdays. I have to peel off the skin of people for no reason. I am nicknamed the 'evil ghost'..."
"So what? Does it have anything to do with you?"
"It's none of my business, but it's none of other people's business. How can I remember that Taichung once said that when Mr. Zhang was rebelling, he ordered people to release grain to burn debts, and even asked people to shout to depose the Dragon Gang and raise troops. They were originally for the common people... I don't know.
How can we accomplish great things by winning over such people?"
"If you want to do big things, you have to be eclectic and use talents... I consider myself to be strict, but I also dare to fight hard. If I receive a favor today, I will try my best to repay it."
"It can come down today and it can come down tomorrow..."
"Qian Jiu, how did I offend you? You are not one of those rootless white dumplings from Beiya. Even if you want to surrender, no one wants you. Why are you here to delay me?"
"I just can't stand it!"
"Then let's die together?"
"Fuck your mother! Who do you think is the white-skinned dumpling of Beiya? You have a broken leg and you are still showing off your authority here?"
"I……"
There was a mess around the fire outside, but Zhang Xing felt a little better because of this farce. Obviously, the Wei court had peeled off the outer layer of skin, and there was a mob underneath, but the system was too big to cover it up.
.
Everyone is a mob. On the other hand, if everyone carries the sedan chair, it can also be assumed that everyone is an elite, right?
However, it was too late to think too much at this time, he had to make an idea.
"King Xiongtian, you have to work hard."
With this thought, Zhang Xing finally steeled himself and called out to someone. "Please go back and forth between Gushu and Xiayi to see if the city is stable and if the reinforcements are in place. By the way, tell Niu Da and Wang Zhen the results here so that they can
Defend the city with peace of mind...and be sure to come back before dawn."
"I know." Xiong Bonan stood up immediately without much thought.
Seeing the light flashing away, Zhang Xingfu looked at Xu Shiying again: "Xu Dalang, please stay in the hall for me for a while...Give me the pen and paper in your arms."
Xu Shiying originally wanted to hand it over directly, but was stunned when he heard the second half of the sentence, and immediately took out a roll of white paper and a charcoal pen from his arms.
"Xiao Zhou." Zhang Xing took the paper, stood up, and finally looked at Zhou Xingfan. "I will find a private room with a table and lights. After half a quarter of an hour, you and Lao Jia will drag these people over one by one...
I want to go down the hall one by one and ask about things."
Xiao Zhou and Jia Yue naturally had nothing to say. The leaders around them looked sideways but did not dare to say anything. The prisoners outside also became more honest.
In this way, Zhang Xing left the hall and came to a side room in the front yard with a couch covered in blood and a half-headed body on the ground. He didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and got on the couch directly, and then continued
Under the light of the lamp, he leaned over the small table on the couch and drew a simple table with charcoal... He originally wanted to make the table more detailed, but for some reason, in the end, he only roughly listed his place of origin, age, official status, and family.
volume, and a long list of blanks.
After a while, Xiao Zhou and Jia Yue dragged a Jinyi patrolman over as scheduled, whose legs were still bent, and at Zhang Xing's signal, he lowered him to the bloodstained spot on the couch opposite the couple.
Zhang Xing looked at the other party and seemed to have an impression. He filled in the previous information and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhao... do you want to surrender?"
The man held the blood stains on the couch below, looked at Zhang Xing, and shook his head slowly: "Brother Zhang, you know me. My wife, children, and clan are all in Dongdu. I really don't dare to, unless you find a way to repay me."
I'm dead... But it's difficult, and I still don't dare... I'd better ask you to let me go in terms of our past relationship. I'll be grateful to you in this life."
Zhang Xing did not comment, but said again: "I just asked you whether you will surrender?"
"No, I dare not surrender." The man finally lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
"What if I can try to ensure that the news of your coming is not known?"
"Then...then I'm willing to give it a try."
To be continued...
