Chapter 1188: Suppressing Abuse
Bai Yan and Shaoqing subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid Su Chong's glances, although Merry didn't know what was going on, they had already guessed a thing or two about the expressions of the two of them. Bai Yan pressed the brim of his hat and walked into the crowd, and Shaoqing followed him in a romantic manner, not stopping until he was in the middle of the crowd.
Yi Jifeng and Yu Qiuhan stood there, a little surprised after seeing Bai Yan, Bai Yan approached quietly, and said a few words in Yi Jifeng's ear, Yi Jifeng looked at the high platform thoughtfully after hearing this, and then turned his head sideways to Qiu Han and whispered a few words to Qiu Han, Yu Qiuhan bowed out, and went out of the east gate field when the surroundings were not completely closed.
The number of officers and soldiers is still increasing, and the people in Yinan City have reached eight or nine out of ten, and the rest of them have also gone to the East Gate Field under the drive of the soldiers who searched the house, and the streets are in a disorder, the adults are panicked, and the children are crying, and their eyes are full of disarray! Yu Qiuhan cautiously walked through the secluded alleys, observing the surrounding situation while paying attention to the movements of the city gate.
The eldest brother is right, almost all the officers and soldiers are located near the East Gate Field today, and it seems that they have made all preparations and vowed to arrest Lin Rui Gongzi.
"Knock! knock! knock!"
Drumming and waving, coming out of the east gate. Yu Qiuhan knew that the time was coming, he dodged a column of galloping soldiers, entered through a small door in the corner, passed through the backyard to the rockery, and after looking left and right, he turned the stone tower on the rockery, bowed down and walked in after the cave door opened.
There were countless figures densely standing under the dim light, and seeing him, Zhang Youxing took the lead in rushing forward.
"How?"
"The defense has almost gathered in the east gate, the eldest brother said to let the brothers get ready, the thunder is loud, and we will rush out of the city gate in one go!"
"Seal the door!"
"Seal the door!"
The shouts echoed from all sides, and the fence gates made of logs and sharp knives on the east gate field were closed one by one, and the people in the field were tightly blocked as if shepherding sheep in the circle, and the crowd that was quite calm just now panicked, and fear spread like a plague in an instant.
Something doesn't feel right!
Bai Yan's heart jumped suddenly, and when he looked up to look at Wang Chengfu, he saw that Su Chong was also stunned.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" Although Su Chong is young, he has seen a lot of things in the officialdom, and the doorways on the battlefield are also clear, there are thousands of people in Yinan City, if it is just a public trial, why do you need to surround the people and trap them, Wang Chengfu's approach did not communicate with him in advance, so he was a little angry when he was puzzled.
There are many people who are most likely to have accidents, not to mention that it is still a situation of confrontation between the government and the people, it is true that Wang Chengyu is dead, but it does not mean that all the people are responsible for his death, Wang Chengfu's approach is obviously selfish.
"General Su doesn't need to worry, this case hasn't been asked yet, why did the official invite the general to come with him this time, the general will know after reading this. ”
Wang Chengfu unhurriedly took out a piece of letterhead from his cuffs, and after Su Chong read it, there was surprise between his eyebrows, and his gaze swept towards the audience was also different.
"The emperor paid attention to the movements of the bandits a long time ago, so he sent Cheng Yu over, intending to create momentum to attract them, but such a change occurred. Wang Chengfu tightened his fingers, and his eyes showed a fierce and cold look: "The general is entrusted by the emperor to quell the thieves, and he knows the truth of extinguishing the fire in the stars." Now, the leader of the water bandits is mixed in with these people, and if he is let go today, there will be endless troubles in the future! Sometimes, it is inevitable to sacrifice some insignificant things for the sake of the overall situation of the country, and the general is a person who has killed the enemy on the battlefield, and these thieves are no different from the foreign enemies of Fanbang, but whoever is unfavorable to the emperor should be killed and not a single one will be left!"
"But the people are innocent!"
"Who can you care about on the battlefield!" Wang Chengfu interrupted Su Chong's words with a loud shout, and said to Long Minghao on the side: "Do according to the plan! As long as someone appears in the audience, no matter what method is used, he will be killed!"
"Yes!" Long Minghao took the order, walked to a row of prisoners, glanced at it, and said loudly to the audience: "The martial arts are in rebellion, killing the grain, grass, soldiers and horses, the first officer, these are all thieves who colluded with the martial arts to commit rebellion, and today's public trial here is to get justice for Lord Wang, and it is also for the emperor to eliminate the ambitions of the wolf! The young master of the martial arts sect has escaped so far, someone must hide him, if anyone is willing to confess him, we can not blame the past, and the Taiwei still has a heavy reward, if you are still stubborn, hum." He snorted coldly and drew his sword, pointed at the head of the prisoner on the stage, and said with a wicked smile: "Just watch how you relatives died here one by one!"
As soon as those words came out, the audience exploded with a "buzz-" sound.
"Why! Our old man and the martial arts are just doing business—"
"We're just their neighborhood ......"
"Although we are the same sect, we should not be punished for our crimes! Is there still a royal law to talk about, and is there a heavenly principle to follow!"
The crowd began to surge, women, children, old people, and children retreated under the crowd, and the slightly bloody men rolled up their sleeves and squeezed forward, the officers and soldiers in front of the stage held spears horizontally to block the crowd, and the archers at the four corners drew their bows and arrows and pointed at the field.
"Stop, stop!" Su Chong stepped forward, and when he looked back and saw Wang Chengfu unhurriedly bowing his head to tea, he finally understood why Wang Chengfu asked him to leave his people on the boat when he went ashore yesterday.
He had already planned to do all these things, and the reason why he pulled himself in was just so that someone could share the responsibility afterwards! His own personal honor and disgrace were not worth mentioning, and now the lives of so many people are the most important thing.
"Heh, is General Su trying to shield the rebellious party? Long Minghao, what are you waiting for! Kill me and see if they say anything!"
The teacup in his hand was slammed down, and with that crisp sound, the long sword in Long Minghao's hand was knocked to the ground from the bottom of the stage.
It's not good, it's a trick!
Bai Yan secretly screamed in his heart, and following the direction where the dart came, he saw a young and familiar face.
"Come on, catch him for me!" Long Minghao pointed straight at that place, and a flying body took the lead in rushing over. The crowd was in turmoil, and the man did not retreat after being exposed, but instead pulled away his wrapped coat and pulled out a short sword from it to meet Long Minghao and rushed forward. Bai Yan turned around and pushed Yi Jifeng, and said urgently: "Brother Yi, let's go, they are not waiting for Lin Rui but you!"
Yi Jifeng also discovered the clues, Wu Linrui, an unrestrained son, didn't need to move the crowd like this, he glanced around, a whistle in his mouth, and suddenly countless black shadows jumped up in the crowd, and they burst out with his call, heading straight towards Wang Chengfu on the stage.
Long Minghao was entangled with the person who put the hidden weapon, and suddenly a person rushed out from the side, the man was wearing a hat, his face was covered with a coarse cloth torn from the hem of his clothes, and a spear snatched from his hand, and broke into between the two of them.
"Let's go!" The person who came didn't say much, obviously came to support the person, but the supporter was stunned, but he didn't leave, but shook off the person's arm and shouted: "Let go! ”
"Let's go-" The tone of the person who came was obviously a little heavier, and after still not responding, he suddenly reprimanded: "Hengyue, go!"
Heng Yue was suddenly startled, and looked back at the man's face, but he couldn't see it at all.
"Go save your father. ”
The body was pushed by the man, Heng Yue crossed the crowd to the stage with his strength, quickly picked up the rope that tied his father's body, and then saved the remaining few people, and said eagerly to his father: "Fourth uncle and sixth uncle, they are outside to answer, you guys go quickly!"
"What about you?"
"Me?" Heng Yue looked sideways at the figure fighting in the formation, as if he was a little puzzled, and muttered with a little deep meaning: "I want to follow him and see who he is!"
