Chapter 327: Killing Thief Chen 1/3
It was like waking up from a dream, as if a voice was whispering in my ear. The voice seemed familiar, but it was definitely not the voice of Liu Qian or Zi Jia'er, and the whispers in his ears still echoed, as if it was the murmur of a demon, but it was like a cappella of the gods.
The scene in the dream is constantly changing, and the mountains and rivers appear one by one, and then disappear. The earth grew green grass and became barren in an instant. I don't know how long it took or what happened. When Chen Cheng woke up, it was already dark. He hadn't had such strange dreams for a long time, his physical agility had reached thirty points, and he was even able to control the secretion of hormones in his body after training.
Over the years, every time this happens, you'll get extra attribute points or skill points. Sometimes it adds attribute points such as "Charisma", and other times it adds skills such as "Domination" or "Coach".
What will be added this time?
Chen Cheng opened the panel and saw the green subtitle in the lower left corner.
"You've got the best hand and half sword."
"You've got the best two-handed broadsword."
"You've got the ultimate swift sword."
"You've got a thick Milanese plate."
Looking at the extra weapons and armor in the "inventory", Chen Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. In the past, attribute points and skill points were given, but this time it was changed to weapons? And the names of these weapons seemed to be very familiar, and he thought about it carefully, weren't they the ones he ordered online?
Why did you get into this world? The efficiency of this courier company is a bit high!
After thinking about it for a while, I still don't know the point. Chen Cheng put this issue aside for the time being, and paw studied the things he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy. Because of the huge gap in smelting technology in the world, the performance and quality of these weapons are much better than those in this world, and they are all prefixed with "superb" or "thick".
This set of Milanese plate armor has amazing defense, not to mention a sword, even pistol bullets can resist, and it can also have a certain defensive effect against small-caliber rifles. Chen Cheng tried on the armor and weapons, and felt that with these things, even Fang Tian's halberd became not so attractive.
The double-strand sword was given to Liu Bei, the Qinglong Yanyue knife was given to Guan Yu, and the Zhangba snake spear was given to Zhang Fei, or should you give Fang Tian's halberd to Lu Bu? Chen Cheng thought about it and decided to wait until later.
Huangfu Song was already seriously ill, and Liu Biao and Liu Miao did not have much intention of marching into the Central Plains. Yuan Shao appointed his eldest son Yuan Tan as the pastor of Yuzhou, because Runan was the nest of the Yuan family, and after Yuan Tan arrived, he quickly won the support of the local scholars, and in turn forced Liu Biao and Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses to retreat.
The appeal of the fourth and third princes is so strong, and Cao Cao endured it because he was deeply afraid of this. And with Yuan Tan blocking the pressure from the south, he can attack Xuzhou with all his might.
After the rain stopped, spring plowing began near Chang'an and even on the entire land of Guanzhong. Although not many people died of starvation last winter, many people in Guanzhong starved. The feeling of hunger was so hard to remember that the people burst out with more enthusiasm for farming than before.
Of course, this is also related to the rent and interest rate cuts ordered by the government. The imperial court has decreed that the annual interest on all loans cannot exceed 30%, and the excess part can not be repaid. However, despite this law, human beings have always been very intelligent, and there are many ways to get around.
After the establishment of the Chang'an Bank, the household department also opened branches in various counties and counties, and issued loans to the people at very low interest rates. Because General Chen Cheng was very worried that many people would come to rob the bank, the branches were generally built next to the county government office and the public office. If he can be robbed in this way, then he has no choice but to send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits afterwards.
Just when the whole world began to get busy, Meng Tuo was summoned to Weiyang Palace. Meng Tuo's current official position is Jing Zhaoyin, and he is one of the few members of the court, but because the general is in Chang'an, he, Jing Zhaoyin, is very aggrieved.
If something happens, he will definitely take the blame, and it is not so easy to do something, one is to see the face of the General's Mansion, and the other is to fight wits and courage with those ministers in the court, as well as the large number of military nobles below the general. Since taking office, Meng Tuo has sighed more than once, saying that this Jing Zhaoyin is not interesting at all, and it is better to go home and farm.
Meng Da heard him complain a few times, so he said: "Since the adults are not doing well, then go back to Fufeng's hometown." ”
At that time, Meng Tuo glared at Meng Da and said, "Nonsense! Even if I die, I will never resign! ”
Now is the time for spring ploughing, and Meng Tuo, as Jing Zhaoyin, has a lot of things to deal with. was suddenly summoned by the general, and he felt a little excited in his heart, and said secretly: Could it be that the general saw that I was diligent in political affairs, so he wanted to mention me again? What is on it for Kyung Zhao Yin? Zhongshu Ling or Shangshu Ling?
Whether it is the Zhongshu Order or the Shangshu Order, it is under one person, above ten thousand people, and it can be compared to the three princes in the past!
He became the third duke, and his son Meng Da was very respected by the general, so it would not be a problem to succeed him in the future. Hey, is my Meng family going to become the Yuan family, and the Yang family is not a big gate?
Meng Tuo waited in the main hall for a while, his heart surging. After a while, heavy footsteps sounded on the edge of the main hall, and under the escort of more than a dozen tooth soldiers, Chen Cheng walked in. Meng Tuo was about to step forward to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Wang Yue, who was expressionless behind Chen Cheng.
Wang Yue is the leader of the secret agents directly under the general, and he has rarely appeared in public recently. Seeing Wang Yue, Meng Tuo's heart was a "grunt", and the joy in his heart suddenly turned into a cold piece.
Every time Wang Yue appears, it means that someone is going to be unlucky. Now Wang Yue followed behind the lord........ Could it be that there is something wrong with me? He thought about it for a moment, and felt as if he had not done anything to break the law. But as long as it is the ruling party, which one will really be fine? As long as you have a heart, you can pick out the bones in the egg!
Meng Tuo was secretly frightened, but he comforted himself and said: The general has a magnificent bearing and a broad heart, even if he has something wrong, he will not be sent to the Western Regions to grow cotton, right?
In fact, it is not necessarily to go to the Western Regions, and there are many people who have been placed in Jiuquan County. It is also vast and sparsely populated, but the conditions are much better than those in the Western Regions. Therefore, after many people are convicted, they will pay to pay the officials of the criminal department. There is still a possibility of coming back in Jiuquan, and when you go to the Western Regions, you can really be in the company of those beast-like Hu people.
Chen Cheng sat down and said to Meng Tuo, who was worried in his heart: "Bolang, there are some things here, you can take a look at them first." ”
Meng Tuo took a few pieces of paper from Wang Yue's hand, and only after taking a look, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Accumulation of dead soldiers", "accumulation of armor", this ..... Is this an attempt to rebel?
Meng Tuo knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said urgently: "General, these things have nothing to do with me!" ”
Chen Cheng frowned and said, "You are Jing Zhaoyin, the incident happened in Chang'an City, you said it has nothing to do with you?" ”
Meng Tuo reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the minister's dereliction of duty that he did not notice the wolf ambitions of these people!" ”
Since he didn't want to cut him, Meng Tuo's brain immediately became flexible. Those courtiers who came from Luoyang have been at odds with the generals, so why don't you just take this opportunity to take those people to the pot?
He said tentatively: "The minister thinks that Shisun Duan and others harbor evil intentions and must be severely punished!" They need to be arrested immediately and tortured to see if there are any other main messengers behind them! ”
Chen Cheng smiled dumbly, Shisun Duan is already a bigwig of the imperial court, who else can be behind it? Is it the Empress Dowager He or the Son of Heaven?
Meng Tuo has the ability and brains, and he can use it for himself, but he is too tactful.
Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't make things bigger, just point to the end." You will send troops to arrest all seven people on this list, and Major General Wang will send people to follow and give him all the evidence that has been copied. You just arrest people and don't worry about anything else, you know? ”
"Yes, yes," Meng Tuo looked at Wang Yue, who was expressionless, nodded again and again, and said, "The minister knows what to do." ”
"Well, I've always been very relieved that you're doing things. Although these people have bad intentions, we must uphold the attitude of punishing the former and the latter, and treating the sick and saving people. Don't always think about making a big news, you have to give others a chance to make amends, don't you say? ”
"Yes, yes!"
After Meng Tuo came out of the Yang Palace, he first returned to the office, ordered the twelve city gates of Chang'an to be closed, and then sent troops to arrest Shisun Duan and others. In broad daylight, the gates of the city were closed, and everyone knew that the situation was not right. When the armor soldiers who were all draped in armor came out, those in the city who didn't know the truth became nervous.
After Gai Xun's death last time, Lu Bu came out like this and seized the military power of Chang'an. It's only been a year, is it going to happen again? Many people immediately ordered the subordinates at home to get ready, and sent people to Weiyang Palace, the official office and the general's mansion to inquire about the news.
When the soldiers came to the door, most of them were stunned, frustrated, frightened, and then retired. Both the government and the opposition knew that the general Chen Cheng did not like to kill people, and if he committed a crime, he would be sent abroad for a trip. Therefore, after the matter was revealed, most people admitted it.
As long as they don't die, they always have a chance to come back. No matter how majestic Chen Cheng is, there is a time to die. We can't get it in this generation, so we'll wait until the next generation comes. Most people comfort themselves in this way, but there are also those who resist arrest with weapons. Shisun Duan secretly transferred more than 100 troops into the city, and equipped them with horizontal swords, crossbows, and steel armor, and these people did not intend to surrender casually.
"Bang!"
A soldier kicked and kicked on the gate and shouted: "The forbidden army is ordered to take people, open the door!" ”
Hundreds of soldiers had already surrounded the mansion of Shi Sun Duan, waiting to go in and arrest everyone in the prison. Because of the imperial court's policy of developing the Great Northwest, prisoners from all over the country were sent to plant trees and cotton, and the prison was empty for a long time. Now that so many people have been taken, there are signs that the edict is being filled again.
However, this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army who came to arrest Shi Sun Duan kicked the iron plate.
After slamming the door loudly, instead of opening the door and coming out, the people inside pulled their crossbows and shot them outward. "Collapse", in the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the big yellow crossbow came at the gate. Thick crossbow bolts pierced through the thick gate, and then shot through the soldiers near the gate.
Sawdust splashed, the soldiers of the forbidden army screamed, and the major who led the team immediately shouted: "There is a strong crossbow!" ”
The gate opened violently, and dozens of dead soldiers in armor rushed out with sharp blades, cutting down anyone they saw. The training and equipment of the forbidden soldiers were not as good as those of the tooth soldiers, and they were caught off guard and were defeated for a while.
The blade slashed at the armor, splashing sparks. The outermost dozen or so dead soldiers were wearing sturdy steel armor, and their horizontal knives slashed at it, which had no effect at all. Those dead soldiers relied on the strength of their armor and soldiers, and rushed out in one breath to protect the soldiers and grandchildren. In the back, there were even dead men on horseback who launched a mounted attack.
For a while, the forbidden army was killed and some of them couldn't resist. The leader of the dead cut down a forbidden soldier and asked loudly, "Taifu, which way are we going?" ”
The Beique Jiadi, where the courtiers lived, was not far from Weiyang Palace, and not far from the city gate in the west, so if you want to escape, of course, you can run to the west the fastest. Shisun Duan stood on the carriage, holding a sword, but said without hesitation: "Let's go to Weiyang Palace and kill Thief Chen!" ”
The dead soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "No! ”
The cavalry was the leader, and the dead soldiers surrounded Shisun Duan and killed him in the direction of Weiyang Palace.
The wheels drove by on the long street, and Shisun Duan held his sword and shouted loudly: "I am Taifu Shisun Duan, righteous men and gentlemen, kill Chen Thief with me!" ”
The voice echoed around, and there were really many people rushing out with the tribal master Ding, following behind Shisun Duan, and slaughtering in the direction of Weiyang Palace. But more people shrank up immediately after showing their heads to observe the situation. There are only three or four hundred people in Shisun Duan, what can this little force do?
Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops outside the city, just near Weiyang Palace, there is an infantry battalion with tooth soldiers, which is full of 2,000 people. Relying on these more than 300 people, they can't beat the tooth soldiers near Weiyang Palace, let alone kill Chen Cheng.
