Chapter 325: Qingzhou, I am the Lord (I)
Seeing this, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and the others also rushed forward after being stunned for a moment, and the weapons in their hands had already stabbed at the prefect's cronies who had not yet reacted, and Murong Yanchao was even more panicked at this time, holding Ya'er to the left while shrinking to the left, he shouted in his mouth: "Sun Tu, it's a big deal!" As he shouted, the knife in his hand was already trying to wipe Ya'er's throat.
But at this moment, a soft sound came from the left rear, the cold light flashed suddenly, and a sharp blade had already slashed down, just on his right hand holding the knife, and with a snort, his entire arm flew out at the same time with the knife, and Murong Yanchao had not recovered from this sudden change, still with a hideous face, wanting to kill Ya'er in front of him, and only after a while did he let out a miserable howl, realizing that his right arm had been broken off from the roots.
Immediately, he was hit hard in the back again, and was kicked in the back of the waist by the sneak attacker, and his body immediately lost his balance and threw himself forward. At this time, several soldiers had already rushed to him, and while quickly pulling Ya'er from his hands, several knives followed him to his neck.
And Sun Tu, at this time, had already slashed his back on the chest of Jing Yiming, who was already stunned, and slashed him so much that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he could no longer pose a threat to Lin Niangzi, and fell down softly. As for the others, they were also distracted by the strange changes before, so they were knocked to the ground by Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others who followed closely after the killing, and all the hostages in their hands were rescued. Except for Tang Feng, who was almost lucky enough to be stabbed in a panic, the rest of the people didn't have any injuries.
The situation that had already reached a stalemate turned around in the blink of an eye, of course, because of Sun Tu's decisive action, but in the final analysis, the biggest hero still came from the time migration that flew from the roof behind Murong Yanchao and them.
It turned out that when he found out that Murong Yanchao and the others were actually using Ya'er and others as hostages to blackmail Sun Tu, Shi Qian had already made a decision, and after exiting the door, he found a way to go around the back of the side hall where they were back, and then with his superhuman light body skills, he silently lurked behind these people.
It was precisely because Sun Tu discovered that he had fallen into place that he suddenly opened his mouth to disturb Murong Yanchao's attention, distract him, and create an opportunity for Shi Qian to hurt the enemy and save people. And Shi Qian really lived up to his trust, seized this fleeting opportunity, decisively jumped out of the knife, and cut off his shoulder and arm, and rescued Ya'er safely.
Murong Yanchao, who had been held by several knives and fell softly in a pool of blood, was pale in the face, but he still held his head strongly, and stared resentfully at Sun Tu, who had already taken Ya'er into his arms and was relieved: "Sun Tu...... You are so despicable......" At this time, he had already understood that the so-called remarks about Jing Yiming betraying himself just now were completely false, in order to let himself flash to the left side while being distracted, so as to completely fall under the knife of the ambusher.
Sun Tu sneered disdainfully: "If you talk about being despicable and shameless, I can't compare to you Murong Yanchao no matter what." It's that people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to disasters that don't hurt their families, but what have you done? And the innocent soldiers who were killed by you...... My grandson will do justice for them. β
"Don't think you're going to kill me so easily...... I am an official of the imperial court, and I am the prefect of Qingzhou sealed by the imperial court, even if I am guilty, it is not that you can convict me of a mere six-grade military attachΓ©, if you dare to hurt me, then the court will have its own public opinion! Murong Yanchao suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, this was his last life talisman......
Indeed, the Great Song Dynasty has always been a civil and military force, and only civilian officials have ever killed low-level or even military attaches of the same rank, and no military attache has ever dared to blatantly kill civilian officials. Moreover, the imperial court has always favored the scholars, even if the civil officials made great mistakes, in the end, they were exiled or cut off from their posts, and no civil officials were really killed for their crimes. A guy like Murong Yanchao with a background backer, once he really embarks on the procedure, I'm afraid he really won't be able to die.
Sun Tu also laughed: "Yes, it is precisely because you have such confidence that you dare to be unscrupulous here, and this time you have intensified your efforts to kill innocents, and even the entire Qingzhou City can be dedicated to thieves." Your sin is not to be atonemented even if you die a thousand times...... Will you, like others, not kill you because of your concerns? Today, I just want to let the people of the world know, let the court know, and let the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty know that my warriors cannot be bullied, and soldiers cannot be humiliated! But those who dare to insult the officers and men of our army will pay a heavy price! As he spoke, his eyes already had Sen Sen's murderous intent pouring out unabashedly, which made Murong Yanchao feel frightened, and he couldn't speak anymore: "You, what do you want to do?" You...... Dare to ......"
At this moment, there was a noisy noise outside, and after a while, someone came in to report: "Metropolitan Supervisor, we have been ordered to Suo the whole city, arrest all the people in the Qingzhou Mansion, and ask the Metropolitan Supervisor to take the case!" β
"These people are acting for the tiger, using a conspiracy to kill many of my brothers in the camp, and even colluding with the Erlong Mountain thieves to bring disaster to the local area, which is really unpunishable. Since the sin is so great, let them not be kept. Sun Tu immediately turned around and ordered: "Pass my order, pull the criminal officer Murong Yanchao and others to the city and behead them to show the public, so as to avenge the enmity of the brothers in the camp and comfort their souls in the sky!" β
As soon as this order came out, the people who were taken down immediately knelt down and kowtowed eagerly to beg for mercy: "Sun Dujian spares his life, I am also forced by the situation and have to do this." All of this was done by that Murong Yanchao, we don't dare to ...... anymore."
In the begging for mercy of a group of officials, large and small, there was also the persuasion of some generals in the Xiang army: "Metropolitan eunuch, it's really inappropriate to do this, after all, they are all court officials, once the matter is reported to the court, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles......"
Even Tang Feng, who was a hostage before and almost lost his life, hurriedly persuaded him: "You are all angry, you can't make such a fateful decision because of a momentary anger." Even if these people are guilty, they should be handed over to the court to judge, instead of just killing them at will......"
In the face of the constant opposition of the people around him, Sun Tu's face did not change, and he still had that cold look: "I have made up my mind." I did this not only for myself, not only for my Qingzhou Army, but also for my tens of millions of officers and soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty. We have been bullied and oppressed long enough, and we have endured it long enough, so we should raise our voices, so that we can teach the court, so that the people of the world know that we and other martial artists should not be insulted, so that the officials and soldiers of the world can re-boost their backbone and spirit. Today's Qingzhou is dominated by me, since things have come to this point, there is no way out, it makes no difference whether you kill them or not. But for my Great Song Dynasty, only by killing them can the military horses from all walks of life, who have been weak for many years, regain their self-strength. β
In the end, he swept his gaze over the faces of the people around him: "The generals listened to the order, and all the government officials were beheaded, all the property in their families was confiscated and filled into our military treasury, and the officials' families and dependents were all killed, leaving no trouble, and the rest of the people were filled into the army as cheap servants!" β
One after another orders were handed down, so shocked that the people present were shocked again, but this time no one begged for mercy or persuaded them. And after a moment of silence, someone finally reacted quickly, and at that moment a number of soldiers stepped forward quickly, dragging the officials who were kneeling on the ground out, and as long as anyone dared to struggle and resist, they beckoned to them with knives and guns.
These Qingzhou soldiers had been oppressed and exploited by government officials before, and they held grudges. This incident, hundreds of comrades were killed, and their resentment accumulated to a critical point, and now that Sun Dujian has made up his mind, they just have revenge and revenge. So, in a moment, the officials were dragged out of the door crying and being dragged out like dead dogs.
When someone came to Murong Yanchao, he suddenly laughed: "Crazy...... I'm crazy, but Sun Tu, you're even crazier than me. Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? At that time, you will inevitably be regarded as a rebellious minister and thief, and the court will definitely not spare you. I may die at your hands, but I believe that it will not be long before you and your family will come down with me......"
"You can't see the outcome anyway." Sun Tu smiled contemptuously and waved his hand: "Take them out and execute them on the spot." I don't need to talk about any time and rules, I just want the result! β
Everyone else looked at Sun Tu in a bit of a daze, and now, these subordinates who followed Sun Tu really felt that they couldn't see through their own prisons. Could it be that such a blatant attempt to kill all the officials of the court would not bring trouble?
Huang Wenbing, who was rescued and frightened, hesitated for a moment before finally stepping forward and whispering to Sun Tu, who was still hugging Ya'er: "Eunuch, this matter is too serious, even if you want to kill, you should first announce their crimes to the people of the city......
"Mr. Huang, it's all about you this time, otherwise...... But you don't have to say anything about it, I'm up to it. Sun Tu still insisted on his opinion, so he half-hugged Ya'er and walked out.
The flaws that Sun Tu said to Murong Yanchao before were almost all true, only one point he lied, so it can be seen that there are flaws in that letter, because Huang Wenbing secretly did something - as early as when Sun Tu left Qingzhou, he had made arrangements to prevent the government officials, etc., if there is a change in the city and things are still under control, then the Arabic numerals that he had taught him in his spare time before writing the numbers in the letter will be written, and if the matter is no longer under control, and even Huang Wenbing's own safety is in the hands of others, then write it with regular counting.
And the 3,000 officers and soldiers mentioned in the letter sent to Boden by Ying Jie asking for help did not write 3,000. With this alone, Sun Tu can confirm that there is fraud in it, so that he can quickly turn the tables in this dangerous situation.
That's why he said that Huang Wenbing contributed the most to this incident!
