Section 647 National Tribulation Thieves, Below
The attitude of pirates towards those who dare to fool them is so cold and murderous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Fu Lian, who was hiding in the city and peeking around, watched the petty official's head fly up and spurt blood several feet away from the cavity, and his face changed in fright, realizing the pirate's toughness and resoluteness.
Zheng Juzhong, who was looking forward to the good news in the mansion, was even more startled when he learned that the officials who went there didn't even have a chance to explain, and they were even more frightened, glad that they didn't go out in person, otherwise they would be the ones in front of the corpse city.
The pirates did not pay attention to courtesy at all, the two armies did not fight each other, and everything could be negotiated and compromised, and these Han officials followed the rules of the game, and they were indeed barbaric and ferocious thugs.
But you can't beat people, and it's useless to despise this.
It seems that it is impossible to get away with it without scraping together enough money.
Zheng Ju felt that the butcher's knife was already hanging in the air, and he would only wait for the hour to fall down and make his head different.
They don't dare to be clever anymore to test the bottom line of pirates, and they choose between life and money, and they are willing to give up money.
But what's worse is that he took out all the money he embezzled, sent troops to loot all the cities, and he couldn't make up enough for 2 million.
It is difficult to build and easy to destroy.
The once incomparably wealthy Cangzhou City tossed them down in a short period of time, and now it was their turn to swallow the bitter fruit of their own evil.
I had no choice but to make it up.
Aside cloth, jade, bronze and other things that can top the money, Zheng Juzhong took the lead in putting on the beautiful jade on the hat, not to mention the jewelry of the women in the family, and searched everything to make it up, but it was only enough for 17.8 million. What should I do if there is still a difference of more than 200,000? Besides, the devil knows how much cloth and jade can be worth in the eyes of pirates?
Pirates are the real riches, and one can guess just by looking at the vast lucrative smuggling.
I have heard that pirates don't take the treasures in the eyes of the Song people seriously at all.
Oops, this is going to kill you.
I had no choice but to negotiate and try to explain to the pirates, but I would never dare to go, and I had to ask Lao Tong to come forward to send him to death for that glimmer of life.
Zheng Juzhong and the civil and military officials didn't care about the old days, so they went to the old Tongju Mansion together this time, and knelt down to plead and put pressure on the old official.
Lao Tong judged the amount of money that had been made, and this time he was happy, and sighed: "That's it." For the sake of the lives of the people in the city, the old man gave up this old life. ”
As soon as they heard that Lao Tong was willing to sacrifice his life, the officials were overjoyed, which was good and hopeful.
Their previous rejection and resentment towards Lao Tongju had also dissipated, and they were even a little grateful at this time.
For those who are willing to take the initiative to die for everyone and are very likely to die, no matter how bad they are, they will always have a little tolerance.
They have praised the old people for their judgment and general consideration of the overall situation, the high wind and bright festival, our role models, and the people with lofty ideals.......
Sycophants.
It is also based on the old judgment that he can't go back, and he can't agree but hesitates.
Lao Tongju shook his head with a smile, and did it as soon as he agreed, without any delay, and immediately went out to the pirate camp with the wealth of the city and the hope of the people of the city.
In the midst of everyone's fearful anticipation, Lao Tongju was able to come back alive soon.
Everyone rejoiced.
Hey, there's a door.
There is a door.
But Lao Tong ordered the officials to step back first, and he only talked about the results of this trip with Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian, the heads of civil and military affairs.
"The pirates are not satisfied."
"The pirate leader is vicious. The anger is overwhelming, just like the substance, I don't know how many people have been killed to form such a might, and if you don't get angry, you can scare people to death. ”
Lao Tongju sat on the chair, stretched out his hand to stroke his chest, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the hand holding the teacup was a little trembling, obviously frightened and palpitating.
"Alas, it may be that seeing the old man's age, they disdain to kill an old man. Or the old man listened to the explanation after seeing his sincere attitude, and only after a lot of words did he make concessions. ”
Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian's hearts were relieved, they didn't care that Lao Tong was frightened, they both looked at Lao Tong intently, and pricked up their ears to listen to how to make concessions.
But don't you can't do it.
Otherwise, it will really lose all the money and lose all the people, and it will inevitably be killed in the end.
Lao Tongju knew very well what kind of wolf-hearted thing the two of them were in front of him, and sneered in his heart: "You two led the officials in my house to force me to die, and you can still sit high and be in the mood to drink my fragrant tea, and even put on a gentleman's good tea style, and have no face or skin to ask for it." Viciousness is rewarded. ”
The boss is the nail that Zhao Gonglian deliberately left in Cangzhou Mansion.
The general judgment is an official position that specifically checks and balances the number one. Zhao Gonglian was transferred to Cangbei, so it was naturally impossible to take the general sentence away. It was revealed that it was a gang, and the court would not agree.
Then the fragrant tea awarded by Lao Tong will naturally not have good intentions.
Tea is a rare good tea, but when brewed, it is added.
The medical experts of the Pirate Empire have synthesized a drug that is tempting and sweet when put into hot water, and it tastes delicious, but it is made by eunuchs to weaken the sense of taste.
The original goal of the development of this medicine was to use the empire to open mines, dig canals, etc., and work to death and those slaves who were forbidden to reproduce.
Without estrus and taste, there will naturally be less riots and rebellions that are easily caused by desire and impulse. The pressure on the management of the growing slave groups would be greatly reduced.
Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fu Lian, the waste trusted by the emperor, are still useful in Cangzhou.
Zhao Yue didn't kill the two this time, but he didn't want the two thieves to continue to enjoy the wonders of being officials.
Lao Tongju hated the hypocritical dog things that ate people's food and didn't do anything, and deliberately mixed medicine with tea to let these two corrupt things that were addicted to enjoyment experience the scientific and technological achievements of the empire.
Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian enjoyed good tea, and they were greedy to drink more, but as a result, they could no longer taste beauty and taste delicious food in the future, similar to the glorious and wealthy walking dead.
It's just that the fatal difficulty is in front of them, and they don't have the heart to spend the wind and snow, and it is difficult to swallow the food, how can they detect that their little Ding Ding is not good and their tongues are tasteless.
will be released, but Gao Yu, who is still locked up in Mizhou, also enjoys this treatment.
However, he was injected directly into his body by intravenous injection in a coma, which was more effective and cost-effective.
Traditional medicine in the Song Dynasty did not inject this hand. Gao Yu will never notice it, he doesn't know that he has been tricked, and he doesn't even enjoy the fragrant tea.
Breaking off a man's bed to conquer a woman's majesty undoubtedly breaks the dignity of the male.
Lao Tongju secretly took revenge, and when he was angry, his heart was naturally generous, and he didn't care about Zheng Shi, who was no longer a man, used his cold heart.
"Three conditions for compensation. If they don't agree, they will immediately slaughter the city, rob it all, and then quickly withdraw their troops to other places. ”
The pirates are going to rob Tokyo, and Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian can't care about showing loyalty and patriotism at the moment.
What are the three conditions, they ask?
"The first is to ask for iron, including iron-rich weapons."
When Shi Fu Lian heard this, he immediately glared and said, "This is a trick, it is definitely a conspiracy." Put away the swords and guns, we have no weapons to defend ourselves, won't we become lambs to the slaughter? ”
Zheng Juzhong was shocked for a moment, and felt the same way, and then slowly came to his senses, but glanced at Shi Fulian with disdain: As if you have a weapon, you are not a lamb. If you and your army really have that ability, can compete with pirates, will this officer still have so many worries and worries now?
Shi Fu Lian understood the prefect's mocking eyes, and no matter how thick his face was, he couldn't help but blush.
Lao Tongju smiled secretly but said expressionlessly: "Pirates want swords, hammers, axes, and iron armor, but they are not used for weapons and equipment, but when iron is returned to the furnace and rerefined for other things." These are just ransom payments. Arrows too. But don't want bows, guns, not even our Great Song Dynasty's precious god arm crossbow. ”
Zheng Shi and the others were a little relieved and willing to pay.
In addition to swords, shields, bows, and crossbowmen, the border troops of the Great Song Dynasty were all equipped with swords and guns. There are no knives, and the vast majority of the army in the city at least have guns available, not without the power to fight back.
At this time, Lao Tong pointed to the gorgeous sword hanging from Shi Fu's waist with a smile and said, "Mr. Shi, this sword is also handed over." ”
As soon as Shi Fu Lian heard this, his slippery and shameless face, which was so thick that even knives and guns could not penetrate, turned completely red, embarrassed and embarrassed.
The old judge was happy to see it and was ashamed again.
"Of course, the general's excellent armor is also included. The pirates will check. If you don't pay it, you will be in trouble. ”
Shi Fu Lian was embarrassed and angry in Zheng Juzhong's mocking eyes, and shouted, "The pirates deceive people too much. The officer led the troops to fight with him. ”
When he was angry, he didn't bother to taunt and step on it.
Zheng Juzhong, who was heartbroken for money and humiliation, and was already extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't help but be angry, and mocked: "Isn't pirates just too much to deceive? If General Shi had such dignity and courage, this government would not have to bend his knees and pay tribute, just enjoy the majestic posture of the general's army to annihilate the pirates. ”
As he spoke, he ignored the stone rune practice.
He knew very well that this founding nobleman who could be an official but would not do practical things, was angry, and he didn't have the courage to turn his face with pirates. Otherwise, how dare you fight a dozen before.
I really don't know how Zhao Gonglian endured this straw bale deputy general in the first place!
"Old Sentence, you go on to talk about the other two conditions."
"Hmm. The second is beauty. The pirates want all the young and beautiful women in the city. Whether it is an official or a private family. ”
Zheng Juzhong heard this, and saw Lao Tongju staring at him with a gloomy face, this time it was his turn, and Shi Fu Lian, who was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed, stared at him with mockery in his eyes, and he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and hurriedly coughed to cover up: "Pirates, they are also evil bandits, and robberies will not let women go." ”
"Ahem, uh-"
"For the lives of the people of the city. The official does not want to give in to the humiliation, but he can only endure the humiliation. The old pass sentence is assured. This official will not make a big mistake for the sake of a mere woman's selfishness. ”
It's just a maid and concubine, and if you hand it over, you will hand it over. As long as you pass this level, do you have the right to live or worry about beauty?
His wife and daughter are all in the capital, and the person will not implicate the important person in his heart, for the sake of his life, he has no worries and can't let go, so he naturally agrees happily.
The same is true for stone rune practice.
This one has also passed.
"Article 3."
Lao Tongju looked embarrassed when he said this, and sighed: "This is not easy to do. I'm afraid it's hard for the two adults to make a decision. ”
The most important money and beauty are all out of the way, what else is so difficult to do?
At the urging of Zheng Juzhong, Lao Tongju lowered his voice and said, "This is fatal." ”
"Huh?"
Annoying?
Whose life do you want?
If it were to kill me, then there would be no need to talk about anything. Anyway, it's a death, so I just fight.
Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian were sweating nervously, and the green tendons on their necks were bursting up.
But he heard the old official whisper: "The pirates are cruel and tyrannical, and they are angry with the previous temptations and tricks, and they want to kill people and get angry." The old man struggled to shirk the responsibility of the two. That's the first two. But the pirates want us to kill the other officials. They have to watch and kill in front of the city to relieve their hatred. ”
Oh, it's this.
It's not about your own life, that's fine.
With the foreshadowing of the agitation and nervousness and despair in front, Zheng Shi's hearts are extremely ruthless, as long as they can get through the current difficulty, they don't care about other people's lives.
Zheng Juzhong is the boss, and he expressed his attitude first: For the sake of the people of the city, in order to keep Cangzhou City, and minimize the country's losses, I have no choice but to be sorry for those colleagues. ”
Shi Fu practiced playing official fights and calculating people, and he was shrewd and capable.
He pressed his sword to reveal a fierce face, and said in a low voice: "Two adults, if we want to kill, we have to kill them cleanly." Their minions must be eliminated and convicted. ”
Zheng Juzhong's eyes were scorching, and he looked at the old judge.
If you do this kind of thing, if you let the court know that there is an important witness, then it will be over, and you must see what the old sentence means.
The most reliable guarantee is to be in the same stream and in the same crime.
Lao Tongju was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with a wry smile on his face: "Don't look at me." The old man is old, but he doesn't want to die. How to play it later, the old man's summer name is. ”
That's it.
The other officials were killed, and no one was qualified to report the leak. It was also easy for the three giants of the city to cover up the scandal of bending to the pirates and killing their colleagues.
As for the rest of the city.
The city is full of life beneficiaries who will only be grateful to the government. And what did the people know? Rumors and rumors are not to be feared. The army is a participant and is in control.
Everything is OK.
Things have come to this point, and there is no way back. Zheng Juzhong gritted his teeth and slapped the board viciously.
The other bureaucrats in the prefecture who were qualified to participate in the show were all gathered in the front hall and courtyard of the prefect's house at this time, anxiously waiting for the three giants to come out and explain the results of the negotiations.
They were the representatives of Cai Jing, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang and other powerful ministers of the DPRK who plundered the interests of Cangzhou.
Zheng Juzhong and Shi Fulian wanted to turn their faces with these people, and it was precisely because they were afraid that these people would leak secrets to the backers behind them, and they were afraid that they would be seized by the powerful ministers of the DPRK, so they were particularly ruthless.
And these people are arranged to seize the minions of power and profit everywhere in the city, and the three giants of the city are very clear, and they can accurately and quickly cut the grass and eradicate the roots if they turn their faces.
Some officials are important officials in charge of the power of their own government, and they have enough status, and they feel faceless and resentful in their hearts when they are excluded from the old pass.
But what they were waiting for was not the apology of the three giants to appease and discuss the big thing, but the officers and soldiers who guarded the government suddenly poured out and violently tied up all the officials here.
Those who dared to play official power to resist, the officers and soldiers slashed their guns with the back of their knives and beat them their heads and faces.
The beating made the officials dizzy and vomited blood and screamed, and then they were gagged with a stinky cloth.
Subsequently, the army dispatched a large number of people to arrest all the relatives and minions of the officials in the yamen. Ordinary servants and maids and maids were all captured and sent to the pirates, and many human rights should be given as an additional gift. Pirates should be more satisfied with the hands of slaves who are not guilty and obedient and can do all kinds of work.
Quietly spread the charge of fornication and piracy to fool the people in the city, and execute all the damned and those who wanted to kill outside the city according to the pirates' demands.
Zhao Yue watched from a distance in front of the barracks as hundreds of lives, including many well-dressed officials, were killed by the officers and soldiers, and he couldn't help but look at the generals and said: "Zheng Juzhong Shi Fu Lian and the rotten soldiers in the city, if there is such a resolute and ruthless force against Liaokou, why worry that Cangzhou will not be stable?" It's a pity that they will only be brave and fierce to their own people. Weapons, money, innocent pretty girls for what? Let these animal waste waste and fund the satisfaction of Liaokou? ”
