Chapter 504: The Life-Saving Benefactor Is Used to Extinguish the Mouth (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Wang Jukui is here!
Zhu Guoqiang, who was in the palace of the king of Chu, heard the report. I was stunned for a while before I said in a cold voice:
"The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of man cannot live...... Invite him over! ”
The reason why Zhu Guoqiang was so annoyed couldn't be simpler, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Wuchang, Wang Jukui, who was the governor of Huguang, led more than 10,000 troops to be stationed in Yuanzhou, during which Changsha governor Cai Daoxian asked him to move his troops to Yuezhou, but he only stayed in Yuezhou for a few days before fleeing back to Changsha. When he was in Changsha, Cai Daoxian persuaded him: "Zhang Xianzhong is still some distance away from Yuezhou, you can repair the fortifications first, and the chance of defending the city is still relatively large." What's more, Yuezhou still has Changsha as the rear, and the thieves must be afraid of the reinforcements from Changsha's side, so they shouldn't be able to storm Yuezhou for a long time. And if Yuezhou is abandoned, Changsha will be really dangerous. Changsha and Yuezhou are each other's horns, so they can naturally be invincible immediately."
But no matter how Cai Daoxian persuaded him, he Wang Jukui was in Changsha and did not dare to go north to meet the enemy. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong's troops went to Yuezhou and easily took this empty city. Changsha has become an isolated city.
Cai Daoxian also suggested that Wang Jukui should be allowed to build fortifications in a dangerous area 60 miles away from Changsha to block the Liukou. And Wang Jukui turned out to be "disobedient".
So, Zhang Xianzhong's army went smoothly and came to Changsha City.
At this moment, Wang Jukui, who had never dared to face Zhang Xianzhong, actually came to the "courage" and was about to go out of the city to welcome his hometown. And the result of his exit from the city was to flee with his subordinates, leaving a lonely city to Cai Daoxian. In the end, Cai Daoxian held Changsha alone, and finally lived and died with the city.
And what is even more strange about this Governor Wang?
After learning that Changsha had fallen, he actually dismissed the troops and fled by himself!
Thinking that this Governor Wang had made those extremely strange decisions, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell, so now you come by yourself, but it will save me trouble. Is it peeling the skin? Still is? No, we have to change the tricks! ”
Just when Zhu Guoqiang was thinking about how to punish this governor Wang, the main lord finally arrived. As soon as he entered the house, Wang Jukui walked over the top road.
"Wang Jukui, the governor of Xiaguan Huguang, see the general!"
"Wang Jukui, you are guilty!"
"The lower official is guilty!"
Wang Jukui's answer was also neat, and the original long bow turned into kneeling. The eight guards behind him also knelt down.
"As an official of the imperial court, Xia Guan has the crime of losing his land, and he really deserves death!"
"Ten thousand deaths!"
Zhu Guoqiang sneered.
"There is no need to die, just die once, Wang Jukui, if you weren't cowardly and incompetent, how could the thief be corrupted all the way to Changsha, and hundreds of thousands of people along the way would be killed by him! This general can't wait to break your body into thousands of pieces, thinking that the thieves will avenge the murder of the people! ”
Looking at Wang Jukui, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes were full of disdain, and at this moment, Wang Shikuan, who was kneeling behind Wang Jukui, kowtowed.
"General, villains have something to say,"
"Who are you?"
"The villain is Wang Shikuan, the guard next to the governor."
Staring at Wang Shikuan, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.
"What do you say?"
"General, Governor Wang is an official of the imperial court, even if he loses his land, there is naturally a court question, although the general is ordered to be peaceful, but he does not ask for an order to kill the official of the imperial court, will it not damage the prestige of the general?"
What Wang Shikuan said was the head.
"Oh?"
looked at Wang Shikuan and the others coldly, and finally fell on Wang Jukui.
"Wang Jukui, I have a question for you, if you answer truthfully, I will definitely not cut off your head!"
"If the general asks, the villain will answer truthfully!"
Seeing that Wang Jukui, who had walked away from the ghost gate, secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"All eight of them are your guards!"
"Yes, yes, they are all the villain's personal guards, and thanks to them along the way, the villain was able to save his life."
"Well, in that case, then I ask you, if they escort you back to your hometown safely, what will you do to them then?"
What does this mean, General?
Wang Jukui raised his head suspiciously, and the eyes of Wang Shikuan and the others were also full of puzzlement.
"How would you treat your savior!"
Zhu Guoqiang asked again.
"Nature is to provide for life at home!"
As soon as Wang Jukui's words fell, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.
"Really!"
"Yes, yes......"
"Wang Jukui, I'll ask you again, right!"
Zhu Guoqiang asked sharply.
The reason why he asked this question was because he had specially checked Wang Jukui's information, and after he dismissed the official army, he took eight personal guards as bodyguards to escort him back to his hometown. Because according to the clear law, those who flee from the battle should be beheaded. Therefore, after returning to his hometown, he was afraid that the eight guards would leak the news that he had abandoned his post and fled, so he set up a banquet to "entertain" them.
In this way, out of "guilt", he buried the remains of the eight guards in the northern half of the slope of Zhuang, the local people called the "good man tomb", and these eight people are also called "eight good men". And instructed the children and grandchildren to celebrate the festival from generation to generation, and return to the sacrifice on time.
You see, that's how he treats his lifesaver! Speaking of which, this is not a kind of revenge. This is simply a loss of conscience! I'm afraid that he is the only one who has treated his life-savers like this throughout the ages.
"General, I, I'm ......"
Seeing that Wang Jukui squeaked and didn't speak, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who escape from the battle will be killed! You, Wang Jukui, will really let them live! ”
"The Great General......
Wang Shikuan and the others all looked at the old man in surprise, their eyes were full of questions, but then they became complicated again.
Originally, they were still thinking that they could get a reward after escorting Wang Jukui home, but now they finally understood what might happen to them.
"Wang Jukui, you have one more chance, you tell them how you will treat them if they escort you home......
"The Great General......
Wang Jukui hurriedly kowtowed and cried.
"General, the villain's crime deserves ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths!"
"Wang Jukui, tell them yourself!"
Facing the aggressive general, Wang Jukui's face was full of bitterness.
"I, I...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the brothers, I'm really sorry......"
In an instant, Wang Shikuan and the others all changed their faces, although they had already guessed one or two before, but now they heard Wang Jukui say this. In any case, they didn't expect to escort the adults home, but in the end, it was this step in the field, and before they even sent him home, they had already figured out how to clean themselves up.
"Lord Wang......"
Seeing Wang Shikuan and the others shaking their heads resentfully, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.
"Wang Shikuan, you are loyal to him, he abandoned his post and fled, you are close guards, you keep your eyes open and look at it, this is the person you guard! He is afraid that you will leak the news of his abandonment and escape, so he will definitely kill you, when you tried desperately to protect him from leaving, did you think of today! ”
Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically, although the reason why he would find out all this was a temporary idea, but he also had an idea - that is, to tell those who were guards that when their masters chose to abandon their posts and run away, they would follow the fate of escaping, although there were few people as shameless as Wang Jukui. But as long as this matter is spread, how many people in the world will run away with the Lord in the future?
"You say, he deserves to die!"
The general's question made Wang Shikuan's heart tremble, although he wanted to eat his bones, and the brothers tried their best to escort him home, but he had already made a murderous move, such a person was really shameless. Even if you kill him, you can't understand the hatred in your heart. But looking at the old lord kneeling on the ground, he was still stubborn.
"If you don't ask for an order to kill the court officials, it will definitely damage the prestige of the general!"
Immediately, he added.
"Besides, didn't the general say that he would spare his life?"
"Haha......"
Haha laughed, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.
"I said I wouldn't cut off his head, but I didn't say I would spare him from dying! Come! ”
"General, spare your life, spare your life......"
As soon as he heard that the general was going to kill himself, Wang Jukui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but at this time, it was too late no matter what he said, when he was crying and being pulled out, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the eight heroes in front of him with a smile and asked.
"What about you? What are the plans......"
