500, five days of life and death (19)

Li Baokun couldn't hear the heart-rending screams anymore, he could only faintly hear one moan after another, but in the moan, he could hear the pain of being cut by a thousand knives at the moment, which made people feel ...... chill from the bottom of their hearts!

After only a while, the moaning suddenly stopped, and then I saw two Heavenly Dao Army soldiers covered in blood come to report, "Report, Li Baokun has been stabbed three hundred and seventy times, and he is dead." ”

Zheng Fei nodded and looked at the four officers and soldiers,

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!"

Several officers and soldiers were so frightened that they rushed to kowtow to Zheng Fei, and they all broke their heads and didn't stop, lest they end up with life worse than death.

"Alright, let's stop." Zheng Fei said lightly, "Tie it first, and then gag it." ”

Immediately several soldiers came up to tie them up, and all four of them thought that they were going to be "Ling Chi", and they screamed in fright, and their noses cried, and two of them even peed their pants,

"Shut up, I'm not trying to kill you." Zheng Fei said with a disgusted face, and when the four of them heard it, they quickly stopped crying, trembling and letting people tie up their bodies and gag their mouths, and then stared at Zheng Fei with frightened eyes, waiting for their next fate,

Zheng Fei then said, "Do you want to live?" ”

All four of them nodded their heads like rain,

Zheng Fei smiled coldly and said suddenly, "But you have just committed an unforgivable crime in Houli Village, although I Ling Chi Li Baokun, but I still don't understand the anger, I think, maybe one more Ling Chi can relieve the anger in my heart, and can also comfort the hundreds of people who died tragically in Hou Li Village, you say, which of you should I Ling Chi?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were scared silly again, cold sweat flowed, almost in an instant, the four of them began to scramble to kneel and squeeze in front of Zheng Fei, and the gagged mouth shouted at Zheng Fei, begging Zheng Fei to spare himself, lest it was himself who would suffer miserably, and they didn't look like comrades-in-arms who were still fighting side by side just now.

Zheng Fei and the generals of the Heavenly Dao Army all looked at these four people with extremely disgusted eyes, looking at the extremely ugly side of their human nature, because if the same thing happened to the Heavenly Dao Army, everyone would not survive even if they died together!

And among the crowd, only Hu Sanniang looked at Zheng Fei with some concern, although she had only known Zheng Fei for a few months, but she knew her husband Mo Ruo's wife, she knew what kind of person Zheng Fei was, at this moment she suddenly realized that Zheng Fei seemed to have changed, Zheng Fei is now like a hunter who is playing with his prey, enjoying the pleasure of torturing them, this is a situation that has never been seen before, could it be that his heart has changed greatly because of the tragedy in Houli Village? If that's the case, will he continue to be the benevolent and benevolent "benevolent master" he used to be, or will he become a "king of slaughter" who kills all sides and shows no mercy to the enemy? If it's the latter, then ......! Hu Sanniang couldn't help but think of the Li sisters, eldest sister, second sister, what should I do......?

"In order to solve this problem, I have thought of a way", Zheng Fei smiled again, although this smile was light, but in the eyes of these four people, it made them more frightened than a cruel smile, "I will ask people to separate a few of you, and then ask you the same question, the four of you will give me four answers, I will compare these four answers, if you are all telling the truth, then the answer must be the same, but if anyone lies, then his answer will be different from the other three, and this is a different ......," Zheng Fei smiled lightly when he said this, "Liars, just prepare to enjoy the same treatment as Li Baokun." ”

Including the four officers and soldiers, everyone understood the reason why Zheng Fei tied up a few of them, this trick can not be described as vicious, the four of them can't collude now, and no one dares to guarantee that the other three will not tell the truth in the face of Ling Chi's consequences, that is, they have the intention to conceal and tell lies, and they will be exposed as soon as they compare with the other three, and the other three have already told the truth, so even if they tell lies, it will be useless to keep the military information secret.

"Of course, if you were smart, you might all tell the truth, and if that were the case, I would keep my promise not to kill you."

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are cloudy, and their eyes are full of suspicion and vigilance towards others, and in each other's eyes, they are no longer comrades-in-arms who have drunk and eaten meat together, but competitors who will compete for their own survival.

Zheng Fei continued, "Okay, you should understand, now remember the question I want to ask. Whose subordinates are you, why are you here, what is the current situation in Gaotang Prefecture, who is the army that has suddenly increased to attack Qizhou, and your grain and grass are ......," one question after another came out of Zheng Fei's mouth, and after he finished speaking, Zheng Fei waved his hand, and Pang Wanchun, Li Sigen and others immediately escorted an officer and soldier to other places for interrogation,

Zheng Fei stood in place, silently turning around and looking in the direction of Houli Village in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Zheng Lang, what's wrong with you?" Hu Sanniang walked to Zheng Fei's side, gently hugged Zheng Fei's thick right arm with both arms, and gently leaned on Zheng Fei's body and asked softly, this kind of intimate behavior in front of so many people would never have been done by Hu Sanniang in the past, but at this moment, she clearly felt the sadness and loneliness emanating from Zheng Fei, so that she couldn't help but want to use her intimacy to comfort her husband as much as possible,

"Lady's ......," Zheng Fei said lightly, his voice full of self-blame, "The tragedy in Houli Village was actually caused by me. ”

Hu Sanniang was taken aback, "Why did Zheng Lang say this?" ”

Zheng Fei said, "At the beginning, I decided on Jingxi Road to punish corruption. When corrupting officials and bullies, they killed a large number of bad people, in how to deal with their families, Wu used them to persuade me to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but I always think that people's hearts are good, and the sins of the family can not be connected to relatives, and they can't bear to kill the sin without consent, and all their families who can prove their innocence have been released, and the land has been distributed equally, hoping that they can live honestly, but who expected ......, today we only met a Houli Village, so what haven't we encountered yet? How many innocent people have died or are about to die at the hands of people like Li Baokun at this moment?! It's all my fault, and if I had been ruthless at the time, these were all ...... that could have been avoided! ”

"No, Zheng Lang, it's not like that." Hu Sanniang finally understood the reason why Zheng Fei was so abnormal, she knew that Zheng Fei was now in a critical period of mental change, and she must do her best to persuade Zheng Fei, otherwise, a "slaughtering king" may really appear.

Hu Sanniang hurriedly continued, "Zheng Lang, do you know? I have been chatting with the eldest sister and the second sister these days, and they all said that they are most pleased that Zheng Lang, your kindness has never changed, whether it is on Liangshan Mountain or under the mountain, the Quartet is reciting your benevolent name, so wherever our army goes, the people can all respond, and it is precisely because of this that the people of Houli Village are willing to risk their lives to take in our soldiers. And, do you know why all the generals are so loyal to you? The main reason is because of Zheng Lang's kindness, everyone thinks, a commander who can be merciful to the enemy, will treat his own people badly? With such a commander, everyone can have no scruples and no worries, right? Zheng Lang. ”

Zheng Fei's heart suddenly flowed with a warm current, he stretched out his arm and hugged Hu Sanniang tightly into his arms, Hu Sanniang's face turned red all of a sudden,

The surrounding Heavenly Dao Army soldiers immediately turned around and looked around in tacit understanding, leaving only their backs to Zheng Fei and Hu Sanniang.

Zheng Fei lowered his head and kissed Hu Sanniang's forehead gently, "Thank you, lady." ”
