Chapter 387: Camp Mutiny
"General, the villain is just an ordinary businessman, these bandits and robbers you are talking about, rebels and rebels, etc., they are all the villain's rivals. The general exterminated these people for us, the people of Dongjun, and we are very grateful to the general. Liu Xiaoye said that it was not the first time he had dealt with Meng Tian, and he was very jealous of Meng Tian. However, he believes that if Meng Tian really grasped his connection with the people of Qingfeng Village, I am afraid he would not keep himself to this day.
Meng Tian listened to Liu Xiaoye's words, he didn't react, he just said lightly: "That's good, there are enough things in Dongjun, and I don't want to cause more trouble, but before I leave, I'll go back to visit Liu's mansion, and ...... then."
"The villain will definitely treat each other, and it is the honor of the villain to be able to come to the villain's house again. Besides, when his father-in-law was alive, he also favored the general, but it is a pity that the villain has no intention of pursuing a career, otherwise he may not be able to serve as a minister in the same hall with the general and serve the Great Qin together. ”
"Well, General Ben hopes so. ”
After Liu Xiaoye left, Meng Li walked over, stood behind Meng Tian, glanced at Liu Xiaoye, who was leaving in the carriage, and said to Meng Tian: "Why didn't the general just take him down and let him go? If he knew that the matter was revealed and fled tonight, wouldn't it be a lot more trouble?"
Meng Tian turned around, smiled and said, "If he escapes, that's the best, then it means that he really has something to do with those rebels in Qingfeng Village." ”
Meng Li understood, and he said in surprise: "Do you want to startle the snake, take the opportunity to go to Liu's Mansion here, and give Liu's Mansion a chance to show his feet?"
Meng Tian laughed and said, "Big brother is still a little bit clear, but I think this strategy should not be able to hide from those guests in the Liu Mansion." In this way, tomorrow you will take 500 people with me to Liu's mansion, this time I will ask Xizi to identify his disciples in front of Liu Xiaoye, this time I will see how he should explain. ”
"No, the last will obey. Meng Li said with his fists clenched.
The matter of the camp at the foot of the hill was settled, and with Liu Xiaoye's generous action, the families of the soldiers and craftsmen who were killed did not continue to make trouble, got their own compensation and left. Meng Tian and Meng Li also led people to the camp, so that the county guard Huang Dong and the guard Ma Xiancheng, who had not yet left, were startled.
"Xiaguan (the last general) to meet the general!" Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng walked out of the camp tent, and happened to meet Meng Tian and Meng Li, who had entered the camp and were arguing with them, so they hurriedly bent down to meet them.
Meng Tian snorted coldly and walked directly into the tent. Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng were a little apprehensive when they learned that Meng Tian's face was not good, and they followed Meng Li into the big tent.
In the big tent, Meng Tian sat in the seat where Huang Dong sat before, and Meng Li stood beside him. Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng stood in the big tent, both with their heads bowed.
Meng Tian looked at the two people in the tent, originally he didn't plan to do anything to these two people, because this belonged to Prime Minister Li Si, he was a military general, and he couldn't dismiss the top local officials and guards at will. As for Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng's crimes, Tie Wei had already secretly investigated them and reported them to Meng Tian. Seeing this scene in the camp outside today, Meng Tian already hated these two greedy people to the extreme, and he wanted to directly kill these two people on the spot.
"I don't know what the general has to do here, so that the general can do it for the general?" Huang Dong stepped forward and said, he raised his head and peeked at Meng Tian, and when he saw Meng Tian's face was pale, he quickly lowered his head again.
Meng Tian took a deep breath, held back his anger, and said to the two: "Originally, I didn't plan to come today, but I heard in the city that there are people making trouble here, and this is the place where the Martian Stone is stored. ”
Huang Dong learned that Meng Tian came because of those troublesome people, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he said to Meng Tian: "The general doesn't know, and the general instructed the subordinate to deal with the aftermath of the soldiers and craftsmen who were executed, and the subordinate naturally acted carefully. But who knew that the family members of those people did not know who they had been bewitched, saying that the money and food that were compensated to them were too small, and that they wanted the lower officials to pay them more than double the amount of silver, but the lower officials naturally refused, so they gathered at the gate of the camp to make trouble. But fortunately, Mr. Liu, the richest man in the city, arrived later and helped Xia Guan solve the matter. ”
"Really?" asked Meng Tian.
Ma Xiancheng stood beside Huang Dong and said: "General Mingjian, what the county guard said is true, and he will never dare to hide it from the general." ”
Meng Tian nodded to Meng Li beside him, Meng Li hummed, and then walked behind Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng, and shouted outside the tent: "Bring someone over." ”
Meng Li returned to Meng Tian and stood still, and two soldiers of the Mengjia army came in from outside the tent, and they also led the two people who had just made trouble at the door into the tent.
Meng Tian pointed to the two people who had been brought in, and then said, "I have already asked them about the compensation for those soldiers and craftsmen. Huang Dong, let me ask you, according to my Great Qin law, what crime should be punished for withholding the money of the soldiers without permission?"
Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng saw the soldiers of the Meng family army bring the two people in, their faces instantly lost their blood, and they turned pale, and when Meng Tian asked them, the legs of the two people trembled directly, and then they knelt on the ground.
"I told you three times that you should handle this matter, and that's how you handled it? Originally, I wanted to keep you two for a little longer, and since you two don't know whether you two are dead or alive, then I don't need to leave you any mercy. Come on, take down the two of them, and dispose of them after I return to Xianyang. ”
"No. "The two soldiers of the Mengjia Army who had just come in stepped forward to arrest Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng. Huang Dong is a civil official, and he has no ability to resist in the face of the tall Meng family soldiers, but it is Ma Xiancheng, he knows that Meng Tian will not let him go, anyway, he will die, it is better to fight.
Ma Xiancheng slammed his elbow back the moment the Meng family sergeant grabbed his arm. The Mengjia sergeant was caught off guard and was hit in the chest and abdomen by Ma Xiancheng's elbow, and his body was bent into a bow. Ma Xiancheng took advantage of the situation to turn around and pull out the scabbard of the sword that the soldier was carrying at his waist, and then a sword slashed through the neck of the Mengjia soldier, and the blood spilled on the ground of the camp.
Ma Xiancheng's sudden resistance made Meng Tian and Meng Li react, and by the time they reacted, Ma Xiancheng's figure had already rushed out of the camp. Meng Tian was injured and couldn't move, so Meng Li rushed out first to chase Ma Xiancheng.
Ma Xiancheng rushed out of the camp tent, and outside was dozens of Mengjia soldiers who followed Meng Tian, seeing Ma Xiancheng covered in blood and rushing out of the camp with weapons in his hands, they each held their weapons and surrounded him.
"Someone!" Ma Xiancheng shouted in the camp, most of the soldiers in this camp were his subordinates, although not all of them were his cronies, but most of them still obeyed his orders and surrounded the camp.
Meng Li rushed out of the camp tent and saw Ma Xiancheng calling his men in the camp, and shouted: "Ma Xiancheng, do you want to rebel?"
Ma Xiancheng smiled, wiped the blood stains on his body with the sword in his hand, and said to Meng Li: "Lao Tzu is not Huang Dong's soft egg, he will only be caught, to be honest, I don't want to be like this, it's you, it's Meng Tian, it's you who don't want to give me a way to live, since it's all death anyway, why can't I resist, maybe there will be a chance to live!"
"Do you think you can get out of here alive?" Meng Tian slowly walked out of the big tent, and with his appearance, Ma Xiancheng's subordinates who were in a circle outside the soldiers of the Meng family army couldn't help but be a little scared, and some even took two steps back.
Ma Xiancheng looked at Meng Tian, his eyes were full of murderous aura, "Meng Tian, since you have exterminated the rebels, then hurry up, why do you still bother with my business?"
Meng Tian shook his head, and he said to Ma Xiancheng: "To be honest, it's easy for me to kill you, and the reason why I don't want to kill you is just to lure the people behind you out." Do you think you are very powerful? I don't know that in my eyes, in the eyes of the people behind you, you are always just a chess piece, I want to use you to catch the big fish behind you, why don't the people behind you want to sacrifice you to cover their identity?"
Ma Xiancheng roared loudly: "I don't care what you say, I just want to live well, if you want to kill me today, you can come, anyway, since the day I decided to follow them, I am ready to die." But I don't want to die yet, and today you are surrounded by my men, and it is not certain who will live and who will die. ”
"Oh?" Meng Tian looked around, he only brought a few dozen people, compared with the nearly a thousand people under Ma Xiancheng in the camp, of course they were not opponents, even if the soldiers of the Meng family army were each one to ten, those were not the opponents of so many people.
Meng Tian sighed, and then said: "Alas, it seems that you are determined to fight to the death, although rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, but in my eyes, you are just an ant all the time, and you can't bite people or jump off the wall." Do it. ”
Meng Li nodded, and then said to a Meng family sergeant, "Send a signal." Hearing Meng Li's order, the Mengjia soldier took out a horn from his waist and put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously.
The dull sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp and spread far away, and even Liu Xiaoye, who had left the camp for a long time, heard the horn. He hurriedly ordered his men to stop and turn back, he wanted to go back to see what was going on in the camp again.
Before Ma Xiancheng could react, he saw that many people suddenly appeared around the camp, and his men did not find the enemy behind them, and were killed by these sudden people from behind. In just a few moments, half and half of his thousands of men had fallen.
"How...... How could this be!" Ma Xiancheng was stunned, how did these people appear, his subordinates didn't even know that there were so many people buried around him.
