Liao Zhongping said in a deep voice: "This is indeed a frontal penetrating injury, but this can only prove that you are fighting against the Tartars." You are only a mere sentinel, and there are only 96 people under your command, but now, there are no less than 300 soldiers behind you (more than 130 people under Wu Zheng's command, and nearly 200 people captured by Jinshan Weiming's army, and Liao Zhongping was counted on Wu Zheng's head at this time), how can this be explained? ”

Wu Zheng replied: "Lord Hui, one hundred of them are the former sergeants of the Jinshan Guard, who were brought in from the official road of Zhenze County. Nearly 200 people in the back were captured by the Tartars and imprisoned at the Jinshanwei wharf, and were rescued when they attacked the wharf with their humble duties. ”

Liao Zhongping said: "Since it is not your soldiers, how can you ensure that there are no Tartar spies among them." You may go ashore, but they will not allow you. ”

Wu Zheng's heart was cold, he looked back, and there were more than 100 pairs of eyes, full of disappointment and confusion.

Chen Sheng met Wu Zheng's gaze and said with a wry smile: "Life should be like this, it's no wonder adults, adults don't have to be embarrassed, just go ashore, we have our own places to go." ”

Where to go? Where to go?

The north of the Yangtze River was occupied by the Manchus, and the north of Hangzhou was also under the control of the Manchus.

Looking at the eyes of Chen Sheng and the more than 100 people, at this moment, Wu Zheng thought of the promise he had promised to the soldiers at the beginning, the promise of living and dying together.

A surge of blood surged, he turned around and said to Liao Zhongping: "My lord, they killed fifty-seven Tartars together with the lowly official road in the north of Jiaxing Mansion, and wiped out one hundred Tartars together with the lowly in Jinshanwei, how can such a soldier be a Tartar spy?" The lowly ones are willing to vouch for them with their heads. ”

Liao Zhongping said sharply: "Your own suspicion has not been lifted, and the official thought that you were injured, so he made an exception and allowed you to go ashore." This is Gyeonggi Cityland, you are the guarantor? Are you guilty? ”

Wu Zheng is inexplicably sad and angry, Gyeonggi? Shaoxing Mansion has become the Ming Dynasty.

"The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou. I really don't know that this Shaoxing Mansion has become the important place of the Ming Dynasty? ”

This poem satirizing the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty is too much in line with the current situation.

When Wu Zheng recited this poem, his heart was already determined, and he lived and died with the soldiers behind him.

Sure enough, listening to Wu Zheng recite this poem, Liao Zhongping was furious, "Presumptuous! Do you dare to slander the imperial court and the country of Lu Jianguo? ”

Wu Zheng said coldly: "Adults don't have to buckle big hats, if you want to kill, you will kill, I, Wu Zheng, will be raised by Tartars in the blink of an eye." ”

"This official will fulfill you." Liao Zhongping raised his right hand, and the two teams of men and horses he brought quickly bent their bows and arrows.

In the distance, Zhou Simin was really anxious, he took a step forward, and was about to speak.

was desperately blocked by Uncle Zheng, "Childe, the world is unpredictable, and you must not easily expose your identity." The slave Guan Wu Sentinel is a brave and resourceful person, and the son should be calm and not impatient, and it is good to wait and see what happens. ”

Er Han and Xiao An had already pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, especially Er Han, who was staring at Liao Zhongping with a pair of bull's eyes, and was ready to fight together to restrain Liao Zhongping first.

Chen Sheng and more than 100 other soldiers bent their bows again, their eyes firm.

Since Officer Wu is willing to stand up for them, he will fight to the death, for the sake of living and dying together.

Wu Zheng was really forced to have no choice, he was humble and light-hearted, at this time, needless to say, he would appeal to the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass even the level of the deputy thousand households in front of him. The rest can only be done, and there is only one gamble.

From the conversation just now, Wu Zheng could feel that Liao Zhongping was still reasonable.

At least he was able to make a fair assessment after examining his wounds.

Then bet that Liao Zhongping is a reasonable person, and bet that Liao Zhongping is a person with a conscience.

The gentleman deceived him.

Wu Zheng turned around, faced the onlookers, tore the placket of the clothes he had just covered again, and showed the wound in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in Wuzheng, Shangyu County, Shining Town, Wuzhuang people. In Jiading, with his uncle Wu Zhifan, he fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court, fighting dozens of times the enemy for three days and three nights, and finally because he was outnumbered, his uncle sacrificed his life for the country. I was unconscious due to the wound of the arrow, and I was rescued by my command, so I left this remnant of my life. When recuperating from my wounds, I gathered the defeated troops along the way, and never forgot the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. Later, at the Jinshanwei wharf, a hundred Tartars were annihilated. ”

"I don't want to, now I have returned to my hometown all the way, and I was detained by Shangguan for the crime of spies and rebellion and died here, my fathers and fellow villagers, I did not die on the battlefield of fighting with the Tartars, but I died in the hands of my own people, am I wronged?"

"The one hundred and thirty-seven soldiers behind me are the heroes who followed me to kill the Tartars at that time, and they will also be accused of conspiracy and rebellion today, and they will die here with me, all fathers and villagers, are they wronged?"

"Over there, it is the soldiers of the Ming army who were captured by the Tartars and imprisoned at the Jinshanwei Wharf, and the people of Jiangbei who were lucky enough to escape from the Tartar butcher's knife to get their lives, and they will also die innocently with me here, all the fathers and fellow villagers, are they wronged?"

Wronged or not?

Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people!

With Wu Zheng's incitement.

Whispers rang out from the crowd.

"Wu Zhuang? It's only a hundred and ten miles away from here, and I know that the old man Wu of Wuzhuang is a great good man. ”

"I've also heard that Old Man Wu is a local squire, who often builds bridges and paves roads, and gives alms to the poor."

"Listening to his accent, he is indeed from our Shaoxing."

"Look, the wounds on his body are real."

"Since it's true, it's the hero who killed the Tartars."

"Yes, look at the people behind it, they are all their own people."

"Hey, that little girl is only five or six years old, right? Poor thing. ”

"Over there...... Yes, the woman over there should be a child in her arms, it's so pitiful, it's still in swaddling clothes. ”

"How can you kill the people?"

"How can you kill a meritorious person?"

"I can't kill it."

"Yes, you can't kill it!"

"Your Excellency. I can't kill it! ”……。

The crowd was surging, and the onlookers were stirred up.

Liao Zhongping's face was pale, listening to the accusations against him around him, he shouted angrily to Wu Zheng: "You dare to incite the people? Do you want to rebel? ”

Wu Zheng listened to the discussions around him, and his heart was settled.

Since it is called Gyeonggi, the small court has to take care of face.

Even if you really have to kill, you don't dare to kill now.

If you kill it now, then I'm afraid the reputation of this small court will stink, especially now when people's hearts are unstable.

Therefore, Wu Zheng was not worried now, he turned around and looked at Liao Zhongping and said: "My lord, he has killed all the way from Jiading to Jinshanwei, and he is a meritorious hero of the imperial court. If the adult really wants to kill the meritorious officials of the court on trumped-up charges in public, I think the court will definitely not spare the adult. I hope you will think twice. ”

Liao Zhongping shouted angrily: "This official will never be coerced by you. ”

After speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Listen to the military order of this officer, and the archers are ready to shoot." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The rush is imminent.
