Chapter 314: Integrity
Su Hanju not only recognized Cao Xiong's head, but also recognized two other heads, one named Liang Xin and the other named He Yangxia.
One lieutenant general, two major generals.
Su Hanju couldn't have imagined that the seemingly ordinary old woman in front of him was actually the heads of the three generals.
He grasped the edge of the square table with both hands, suppressing the anger in his heart, and preventing himself from breaking out and hurting others. He believed that if it hadn't been for the conversation before opening the oil paper, he would have swooped over and slapped the old woman to death.
Cao Xiong, what a brave general, rushing to kill on the battlefield like a tiger descending the mountain, killing the big-toothed dog in fear. As a result, he did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of an old woman, how sad is this? How heart-wrenching and infuriating?
Liang Xin and He Yangxia, although they are not as brave as Cao Xiong, are also usable talents, and they have all made great contributions in the defense of Baiyun City, but they also died at the hands of the old woman.
The successive battles have caused heavy losses to the officers of Baiyun City, resulting in a shortage of talents at present. Moreover, at present, a great battle is imminent, and one more or less of a brave and warlike general like Cao Xiong is likely to be the difference between the enemy's 100,000 more casualties or our 100,000 more casualties, and it may even affect the outcome of the war. However, the old woman killed three generals in one go, and this huge loss made Su Hanju almost unbearable.
"Woman!" Su Hanju finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and roared at the old woman: "This king doesn't know what kind of grudge you have with these three generals, but he knows that you have already caused a monstrous disaster! Do you know that the big tooth dog is coming to the city and eyeing me in Baiyun City?! Do you know that the officers and men in the army have suffered countless losses in battle, and there is an urgent shortage of officers who have the talent to lead the troops in battle? Do you know how many more soldiers our soldiers will lose in battle without these three generals?! Do you know that the current battle situation is so severe, and it is very likely that if you lose a battle, the gate of Baiyun City will be breached by the Big Tooth Dog?! Do you know that once the city is broken, millions of people in the city will be slaughtered by the Big Tooth Dog? ! Is it as simple as you cut off three heads? No! You cut off the heads of tens of thousands of my Baiyun soldiers! You may cut off the heads of millions of people in my Baiyun City!
The human head presented on the table caused panic and commotion, and Su Hanju's roaring and angry shouting caused the people on the street to be angry, and they all glared angrily at the old woman.
"Protect the prince!"
"Kill this old thief, she's a big-toothed spy!"
"Old thief, mutilating my Baiyun City general deserves death!"
The brave man picked up the guy at hand and rushed up, with a hideous face, wanting to correct the old woman on the spot.
"Wait!" The old woman's face was pale, how could she withstand Su Hanju's anger as a woman, and Su Hanju's series of questions were all she had never thought of, she realized the seriousness of the matter after listening, she was afraid, but she did not give in, she slammed the table with her right hand, grabbed Cao Xiong's head with her left hand and stood up, stretched Cao Xiong's face towards the crowd rushing up, and shouted: "Stare your eyes and see clearly, this is the dog head of the prostitute Cao Xiong! Aren't they damned?!"
The crowd that rushed up heard Cao Xiong's name and stopped walking.
"It's really—it's really a Cao dog thief!"
"Ha-ha-ha-cao-the thief is dead! good death!haha-"
"The lewd thief Cao Xiong is dead!"
"Haha-"
Su Hanju's angry expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered, because he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, and someone recognized Cao Xiong, and then first
The reaction turned out to be happy, clapping and applauding, and then running to tell each other. In just a dozen breaths, the news of Cao Xiong's death spread half a street, and everywhere the news went, the sound shook the sky, like the New Year.
His grip on the edge of the table loosened weakly, and the reaction of the people told him that Cao Xiong had already become notorious, and that he had reached the point where everyone shouted and beat the rats crossing the street, and how many bad and evil things had to be done?
Seeing the people cheering on the street as if it was the New Year, the old woman's pale face was much better, she turned to look at Su Hanju again, and said, "Lord, if you see it, he should die!"
As he spoke, he threw his left hand and threw Cao Xiong's head into the crowd, and immediately someone shouted and rushed up and kicked it, rolling around on the street and becoming a ball.
The slut was short-sighted, she really didn't think about it, and she didn't expect these serious problems that the prince said, the slut only knew that the thief deserved to die, so she killed him. This is a crime committed by Cao Thief in the past ten years, and the sluts have recorded them one by one, if there is a half-word falsehood, it is called that the slut will not die well if she strikes five thunders every day!
The old servant stepped forward to tie the knot, first opened it and scanned it to confirm that there was no hidden danger inside, and then handed it to Su Hanju.
Su Hanju took it in his hand and opened the first page, only to see that it was densely recorded with Juanxiu's small characters, and he was so angry that he trembled with anger, and he couldn't bear to read two pages with anger, so he slammed the booklet on the table angrily, and asked: "Cao Xiong should die! It is difficult to calm the anger of the people even if a thousand knives are cut! You are right, this king is indeed old and dizzy, and he cannot escape the blame! This king should give you an explanation to the people who were harmed by Cao Xiong!"
As he spoke, he stroked his right hand around his waist and pulled out a dagger half an arm's length.
"Master, I can't bear it!" The old servant immediately stepped forward to snatch it, but was glared at by Su Han, and his hand retracted in fright.
"Old Wang-" The old man on the side's face changed greatly, and he wanted to stop him, but he was pressed on the stool by an invisible force exuded by Su Hanju's body, unable to move.
"Lord Wang, that's not what the slut meant!" The old woman couldn't help but panic when she saw Su Han pull out her dagger.
"No need to say more!" Su Hanju interrupted the old woman's words in a resolute tone. As he spoke, his left arm was raised, and the dagger in his right hand was slashed up from under the armpit of his left arm, the dagger was extremely sharp, and his left arm was cut off from his shoulder with only a soft sound.
"Master!" the old servant was so frightened that he grabbed Su Han's fallen left arm and was about to pick him up. The severed hands and limbs like this, the fractures are neat, they are not eroded by poison, and the time is short, as long as they are nourished by the power of his stars, and then combined with the pill applied externally and internally, it can be taken back.
However, the old servant's movements were blocked by Su Han raising his hand, and he saw that his expression was angry, and his tone was unquestionable: "Hang the dog heads of Cao Xiong and the arms of this king in the square, and expose them to the public for three days!"
"Master, the old slave is punished for you, I beg you. Take your arm back, and—" The old servant pleaded bitterly, but his voice stopped abruptly, because Su Han raised the broken left arm and suddenly ignited a flame, burning the wound with a rattling sound.
"Master, why are you doing this?!" the old servant burst into tears.
"Didn't you hear what Lao Tzu said?!" Su Han raised his tiger eyes and glared angrily, and shouted loudly.
"Yes! The old slave obeyed!" The old servant had to take the order, and reluctantly handed Su Han's raised arm to the guard who followed him, and ordered: "Do according to the prince's orders, if you dare."
If you lose, you will be slashed all over the house!"
"Yes!" the guards took the order, and the two of them went to the street to retrieve Cao Xiong's head, which had been kicked by the people and the flesh was blurred and deformed, and it was unbearable to see.
"The slut is wrong, the slut shouldn't come!" The old woman stained her cheeks with tears, staring at Su Han's broken arm with a pale face, she really didn't expect the old prince in front of her to be so hard and bloody, and it was not ambiguous at all to admit her mistake and admit punishment, and she didn't even have a word of justification.
"You're right, it's Cao Xiong who is wrong, it's this king!" Su Han shook his head bitterly and said to the old servant: "I'm tired, go back." ”
The old servant hurriedly stepped forward to help, and walked in the direction of Su Hanju's body, and after more than ten zhang of one step, the two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The old woman also got up and left, not knowing when she would feel it.
"Master, why is this so?!" Back at the Zhennan Palace, the old servant bandaged Su Hanju's wound and said heartbrokenly.
"If not, how can the people be angry?" Su Hanju responded, "I, Su Hanju, have been sitting upright in this life, worthy of heaven and earth, and I can't be unprotected in the evening! Lao Tzu came to this world naked, and when he walked, he had to straighten his waist and walk upright!"
"Your temper is the same as when you were younger, and it hasn't changed at all. The old servant laughed.
"Haha, I was born like this, I can't change it. Su Hanju laughed loudly, turned his expression sank, and said: "The people who are in cahoots with Cao Xiong, who are helping to do evil, and those who help him cover up the ugly things, find out one by one, no matter what identity or official position, all the sins will be executed, and all the rest will be arranged to the vanguard camp to attack Haoyue City, life and death!"
"Yes!" A cold and fierce light flashed in the old servant's eyes, aiming the resentment of Su Han's broken arm at these people.
"Hey, blame me! The people had already blocked the road to sue Cao Xiong, but every time I was fooled by Cao Xiong's rhetoric, and Cao Xiong turned around and showed his green fangs, and killed the accusers one by one, so that no one dared to sue him again. It's so hateful!" Su Han said with hatred.
"Master, it's Cao Xiong's dog thief who is too treacherous!" the old servant admonished.
......
When Zhang Xiaopaw and the three of them came out of Qi's house, it was already ten o'clock in the afternoon.
Qi Rong'er called a carriage and drove to Qin's house in a carriage with the three of them.
"What is today's holiday? Firecrackers are being set off in the streets and alleys to celebrate. Walking on the road, Zhang Xiaopaw lifted the curtain, smelled the smell of firecrackers in the air, and saw that many houses on both sides of the street were setting off firecrackers, it seemed that today was a festive day, but he thought for a while and didn't remember what the festival was, so he asked the other three people in the car.
"There are no festivals, right?" Qi Rong'er replied uncertainly.
Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa also shook their heads uncertainly.
The reason why they are not sure is that the sound of firecrackers in the streets really looks like a festive day to celebrate.
It wasn't until they heard someone lighting firecrackers and chanting "Cao Xiong's dog thief is good to die" that they suddenly realized that the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys was actually celebrating Cao Xiong's death.
When Qi Rong'er heard this, she couldn't help clapping her hands, threw a piece of silver at a man on the street, and asked the man to help her set off a few more strings of firecrackers.
When Zhang Xiaopaw spread his ears and heard someone say that the old prince thought that he couldn't see anyone on the street, pulled out a dagger and cut off his left arm, and ordered someone to hang the broken arm on the square to show the public, the shock in his heart was indescribable, and he had a deep reverence for the old prince.
