Chapter XXVIII

In the early morning, in the Wanxian Building, the door has not yet opened to welcome guests, and it is quiet everywhere.

A person galloped over, flew off the horse, stepped on the door panel, picked up the guy who was lying on the front desk board and fell asleep, and said, "Where is General Sun?"

The young man was awakened by the sound of the door panel falling to the ground, sleepy-eyed, and seeing that it was the military master, he hurriedly said: "The fourth floor, the Tianzi room." ”

The man rushed up to the fourth floor, knocked on the door, and said, "My lord, it's not good!"

Sun Xun was lying in the woman's arms, sleeping soundly, when he heard the voice, he turned over and got out of bed, opened the door, and it was Zhang Ruijun, the adjutant on duty tonight.

Sun Xun asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Ruijun knelt on the ground and saluted, and said: "My lord, this morning there were three soldiers in our department who were tortured and killed in the open space outside the barracks, and the tragic situation is really unbearable.

Sun Xun was taken aback, if the soldiers formed a team, looted and burned the county seat, as the general of the army, he would not be lightly responsible, so he hurriedly put on his armor, lifted the jade sword, and shouted: "Go to the county government quickly and ask Wang Zhi County!

Zhang Ruijun received the order and ran to the county office.

"Everyone, get up!" The masters were in the room, and they were awakened by Sun Xun's lion roar, and they quickly dressed and came to the lobby downstairs.

Sun Xun briefly talked about the mutiny of the soldiers, and urgently urged everyone to get on their horses and run to Nancheng together to quell the mutiny.

On the way, Sun Xun asked: "Bai Cangweng, your swordsmanship is superb, and you can use your sword to assassinate the troublemakers." ”

He also said: "Father-in-law Gao, the three soldiers, and Miss Ayina, you must use your strength to let the gathered soldiers disperse, once the soldiers disperse, the mutiny will not become a momentum." ”

Although Jingnan County borders South Burma, there are several mountains in the middle, so the border defense troops are all set up in the high ground in the mountains.

After a while, when I came to the south city gate, I saw that the city gate was closed, the people outside the city were noisy and neighing, countless soldiers were shouting and scolding, and the violent mood of the crowd was about to erupt.

Sun Xun took all the masters to the city gate, only to see nearly a thousand people gathered under the city, it seems that most of the soldiers in the barracks are extremely dissatisfied, or take the initiative or were coerced to participate in the mutiny.

When the soldiers saw the commander standing above the city gate, their voices rose even more, and their shouts did not stop.

Sun Xun roared: "Who instructed this time?" staring at the tiger's eyes, extremely majestic.

No one dared to speak for a while, for fear of being questioned afterwards. Originally, they wanted to storm the city in one go, but later because the adjutant Zhang Ruijun, who was quite popular and sympathetic to his subordinates, decided to come forward and meet their demands, so except for a few outlaws, no one dared to do such a rebellious thing, and only gathered people outside the city gate to shout.

A bearded man rushed out, hugged a corpse, cried loudly, and said: "Please General Sun to see how Liu Da and the three of them died tragically, our soldiers worked tirelessly and followed you to fight in the north and south, but if you want to be paid, you have no food, you have nothing to eat, you can eat the meat and drink the blood, but you still have to torture and kill the traitor like this, and the murderer hides in the city, we are cold!"

Sun Xun had a deep impression of this strong man, he was originally a man who fell into the grass, and later recruited An into the military camp, went into battle to kill the enemy, was brave and abnormal, was upright, and was by no means a villain who was good at incitement, how could he come out and do such a mutiny today?

He leapt down from the gate and walked in front of the crowd, frowning at the bloody corpse.

Suddenly, Liu Da's dead body moved, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it, he wasn't dead yet, and when he struggled, he pulled the wound, and Liu Da snorted in pain.

The bearded man burst into tears and said, "Good brother, today the eldest brother has to avenge you, even if his head is cut off!"

Sun Xun said angrily: "Who did this?"

A guard soldier with a bruised nose and swollen face tied all over his body was pushed out, threw himself on his knees, and cried and begged: "General, don't kill me!"

Sun Xun said: "You killed the person?"

The guard soldier hurriedly shook his head and said: "General, someone wanted to break into the barracks this morning, and was stopped by me, he claimed to be a cloth merchant in the city, knew Liu Da and the three people, and said that he wanted to reward them, how did I know that he was here to seek revenge, so he took him to meet these three people, as a result, the two sides have enmity, and they have to duel outside the barracks, I thought, three fight one, it should not be left behind, I didn't expect ......"

Sun Xun was furious, raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, kicking him four or five feet away, and the guard soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

Sun Xun raised the jade coercion and shouted, "Huzi, get out of the way!"

The bearded man burst into tears and said, "My lord, no!"

Sun Xun said calmly: "He can't be saved, you will only make him more painful, it is better to give him a break!"

Although Liu Da's tongue was cut off, his muscles and veins were broken, he couldn't move, his eyes could still see, his consciousness was still clear, and the torture and torment that lasted for several hours had already made him feel painful.

Sun Xun stabbed Liu Da in the heart with a sword, ending this evil life in an instant.

The bearded man burst into tears, and said hatefully: "I will definitely kill the cloth merchants in the city!"

Sun Xun said: "How do you know that it is a cloth merchant? Where can a murderer take the initiative to tell his true identity?"

When Zhang Ruijun was beating the drum in front of the county office, Ling Yun thought that a case had come, so he hurriedly put on his official uniform, and when he heard that it was a mutiny, his face was extremely calm and unflustered.

Zhang Ruijun has been in the army for a long time, has read countless people, and secretly admires in his heart: "If this young county master is not a gentleman, he doesn't know how powerful the mutiny is, this kind of calm and calm determination is really a great thing!"

The two rode to the south gate side by side, and the gatekeeper saw that the county lord was coming, and listened to the order to open the city gate.

Sun Xun glared at Ling Yun angrily, and said in his heart: "I know these soldiers, they are extremely gangster, they have raped and insulted the people's girls before, and they were beaten with a hundred lashes by me, because they are in urgent need of personnel, and they are not killed with a cane." Last night, you told me about the soldiers and bandits, I'm afraid these three people did it, but you are good at making claims, you are too ruthless, for the sake of an old friend, cause my soldiers to mutiny, is it worth it?"

Ling Yun ignored Sun Xun's fierce gaze and arched his hand: "General Sun, what about training in the morning? So many soldiers gathered outside my city gate, so that my subordinates didn't even dare to open the city gate. ”

Sun Xun said angrily: "There are people in your city who killed my three soldiers, how can this matter be counted?"

The guard soldier who fell to the ground was surprised when he saw Ling Yun's face and said, "It's you!"

Sun Xun snorted, rushed over and grabbed the head of the guarding soldier, and said angrily: "It's this guy, the guard is not strict, kill my soldiers, and the crime should be beaten with a cane!" He slapped the back of the soldier's head and fell to the ground and passed out.

Ling Yun was slightly surprised, knowing that this person would expose himself, but he didn't expect Sun Xun to take the initiative to help him cover up.

Ling Yun laughed and said, "It's no one else who killed your three soldiers, it's me!"

Even if I can protect you, you are not afraid that this group of tiger and wolf soldiers will eat you alive!"

Ling Yunhun didn't care, he rode on the horse, and his face was calm and complacent.

The soldiers were in an uproar, most of them wanted to fish in troubled waters, and a few of them saw the tragic death of their peers who were born and died, and they were determined to take revenge, so they shouted for killing.

The bearded man knelt on the ground, his eyes almost bursting out, and he roared angrily, "I'll kill you!" Carrying an iron-handled spear, he was about to rush up.

Sun Xun stopped him with a big shout, and said angrily: "Don't you have brains? The magistrate saw that you were looking for the murderer under the pretext of actually wanting to slaughter the city and destroy the people, in order to relieve the common people, Lord Wang took all the sins on himself, you killed him in vain today, if there is no evidence, it will be difficult to escape the death penalty in the future, who dares to come!"

Everyone was stopped by Sun Xun's words, and they were puzzled, and no one dared to rush to kill.

The bearded man roared sadly: "Then do you just let the real murderer escape?"

Sun Xun was silent.

Ling Yun took out a large handful of silver from his bosom, and kept falling from his bosom to the ground, so that it completely submerged the horse's hooves, and a pile of white silver mountains appeared.

The eyes of all the soldiers widened, and these silver were enough for tens of thousands of taels!

Ling Yun said: "I killed the person, if you want revenge, stand on the left, if you don't want revenge, stand on the right, wait for the payout." ”

The soldiers were originally people who worked hard for money, and at this moment they saw a lot of silver in their eyes, and when they heard that the silver was distributed to themselves, where did they care about Liu Da's tragic death, even if the boss died tragically, he had no intention of taking revenge, and they all stood on the left, and the few people who stayed on the right also hesitated and walked to the left.

Only the bearded man was iron-hearted for revenge, standing still in front of the right, turning around and laughing miserably, "Ding Monkey, do you want money and don't want brothers?"

Another soldier smiled and said, "Yes, Ding Monkey, aren't you the one who is the most powerful in shouting for the slaughter of the city?

The thin and rickety Ding Monkey was extremely embarrassed, he was extremely eloquent, and he was originally the mastermind who instigated this mutiny, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately turned around, and the bearded man held up the banner alone.

All the soldiers were not accustomed to seeing the monkey like this, and several people behind him kicked him out, and staggered behind the bearded man, his legs trembling, and his lips turned blue with fright.

Ling Yun smiled and said: "This bearded man, you are upright! But do you know that these three people raped and killed the people's daughters, and their methods were cruel and their sins were so serious, that it was difficult to write a book! Do you really want to avenge this kind of scum?"

The bearded man said angrily: "One life is worth one life! These three people have already reached the life of the people's daughter, not to mention that their death is not tragic enough?"

Ling Yun said: "It's not enough! When the folk girl was killed, she had no way to ask for help with one enemy and three enemies, and she was desperate, letting them do whatever she wanted, and finally died tragically, this is torture and killing! And before these three people died, they bullied the weak with three enemies and one, but their martial arts were too bad, and they were killed by me, which is extremely fair, not to mention that the three of them have no intention of repentance, they should be killed!"

The bearded man was silent.

At the beginning, he was a bandit and a bandit with these three people, robbed his house and did a lot of bad things. But the bearded man has a good temperament and never does anything to destroy human nature, on the other hand, the three brothers do all kinds of evil, so when they arrived at the barracks, they gradually became estranged from the three of them, but the righteousness of the brothers is still there, he attaches great importance to righteousness, regards Guan Yunchang as a model, and the brother died tragically, how can the eldest brother not come out?

But Ling Yun's words made him unable to argue, he was killed for doing evil, did he still have to avenge them?

The bearded man hatefully plunged the iron spear into the ground, looking up to the sky and howling, screaming in grief.

He tore the armor on his body, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Sun Xunsan, and said: "The general's grace of support is unforgettable, but I am a reckless body, and I can't accommodate the army after all, say goodbye today, and hope that the general will be fulfilled!"

Taking off his shattered armor, the bearded man pulled out the iron spear on the ground and strode away.

Sun Xun knew that this person was a member of the tiger general, which was a pity, but he did not keep it, and the twisted melon would not have a good result, so he had to go with it.

The soldiers lined up and took away ten taels of silver one by one, which was the usual five months' salary, and they were all overjoyed.

A thin figure blended in with the crowd and also wanted to receive the silver.

Sun Xun sneered a few times and said, "Come on, pull out this inciting Ding monkey and cut it down!"

Ding Monkey turned around and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by the soldiers on both sides and shouted "wronged", and the soldiers who had long been unpleasant stepped forward and punched each other, and fell to the ground without breath.

Sun Xun said loudly to the three armies: "The culprit of the instigation of the mutiny has been removed, and the rest are coerced and will not be investigated, but if there is a next time, it will be severely punished!"

After a pause, Sun Xun continued: "Today, Wang Zhixian has brought so many silver taels to reward the three armies, and I will also buy thirty sheep and thirty jars of wine, and treat everyone tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

The soldiers celebrated with their heads in celebration and cheered one after another.
