Chapter 402: Withdrawal, Redemption
Under the night sky, under the light of countless torches, when the heads fell to the ground and streams of bright red blood spurted up, in the eyes of the hundreds of captains in brocade clothes around, this scene was so beautiful, more beautiful than the most beautiful girls on the plate in the world!
But in the eyes of the women of the Bai family, the women of the Qin family, and the people who were secretly observing outside the dock, this scene was as terrifying as Senluo Hell!
How can it be?
How dare he?
Crazy?!
The women of the Bai family and the women of the Qin family screamed loudly in unison, while the men of the Bai family and the men of the Qin family looked at Jia Cong with idiotic eyes.
You've played so many tricks, isn't it just for the new law in the end?
You hold these characters in your hands, do you know how much interest you can negotiate?
How many new laws can be promoted?
You've worked so hard to kill people when you end up with nothing to gain?
To be honest, when they saw Bai Shijie, Qin Yu and others killed, the Bai family and the other men of the Qin family felt a sense of relief.
The mastermind is dead, and there is no proof of death, and it is impossible for them to admit the crime of treason anyway.
With the connections left by the Qin family over the years, after the mastermind dies, they will not die.
At this moment, when he heard the sound of "click", Jia Cong put the ghost head knife in his hand on the ground, and then turned his head and looked at them.
Looking at this, not to mention the men of the Bai family and the Qin family, their souls were scattered, and even the women who were crying and grabbing the ground were so frightened that they turned pale with fright and stopped crying.
It seems that staring at them is a giant tiger that chooses people and devours them.
In the cold wind, everyone who was stared at by Jia Cong was cold all over his body, as if he was frozen.
I heard Jia Cong say in a deep voice: "Interrogate them separately on the spot, and each man will write the crimes of the Bai family and the Qin family with a piece of paper and a pen." I waited here, writing what I didn't understand, writing less, and sending him on his way for the great sin of rebellion. ”
A group of brocade clothes who had been prepared before rode forward, and took the remaining Bai family and Qin family members to a few places on the dock like cattle, and then gave them paper and pencils, waiting for them to "hand in the papers".
Jia Cong raised his chin to Zhan Peng and asked him to bring over the person who was desperately shouting "keep people under the knife" outside the dock.
Before long, Zhan Peng led an "acquaintance" over.
This "acquaintance" really didn't treat himself as an outsider, hurried in, and after seeing the corpses all over the ground, his face was full of remorse, so that others couldn't bear to look at it.
He glared at Jia Cong angrily and said, "Jia Qingchen, do you know what you're doing?!" ”
Jia Cong looked at him calmly and said lightly: "Lord Zhentai, you'd better understand who you're talking to." ”
The person who came was Zhuge Tai, the envoy of Jiangnan, and he was still slow to know the news, and he didn't expect Jia Cong to do this.
Hearing Jia Cong's words, Zhuge Tai became more and more angry, but the eyes full of evil around him still calmed down his old criminal name.
Zhuge Tai took a deep breath and reasoned: "Master Jia, you have reached this point, all kinds of layouts are convincing to my Zhuge Tai, and it is difficult to beat the horse!" With the breakthrough of the Bai family, the Qin family, and even the Zhen family, Jiang Nan could easily tear a hole in the alliance between the scholar clans against the new law. The new law will be unstoppable!
At this time, what do you kill them for? What is it for? The good situation is ruined! Destroyed in one fell swoop! ”
Jia Cong lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Because this seat knows that if you hand them over, they will become bargaining chips between you and the Jiangnan families, and most of them will not die." ”
Zhuge Tai was simply incomprehensible: "But a few insignificant gentlemen, what is the deep hatred and hatred, Lord Jia has to kill them?" ”
Jia Cong looked at Zhuge Tai and said word by word: "On the eve of the big day, Zhen Fu, Qin Yu, and Bai Shijie colluded with each other to attack and kill eight captains of my Jinyi Guard, seriously injuring thirty-two people, so they must die." ”
“……”
Zhuge Tai seemed to be stunned, he looked at Jia Cong's eyes, and was speechless for a long time, wanting to see whether the young man in front of him was a genius or a madman.
He naturally couldn't see anything, although he was scheming, he couldn't see that this matter was Jia Cong's way of "retiring" and getting out of the chaos in Jiangnan for the time being.
At this point, if Bai Shijie, Qin Yu and Zhen Fu are handed over to the Jiangnan Governor and handed over to the court dominated by the New Party, then Jinyiwei will inevitably be branded with the New Party.
People all over the world will think so, which is contrary to Jia Cong's promise to Song Yan, the prince of Songchan, and several famous Confucian scholars in front of the people of the world on October 15.
He will become a dishonest man.
Even if he could quibble, he was just revitalizing rebellion.
But in this way, the people are deceived, but they cannot be deceived to understand people.
forcibly said that it was inferior, which made people underestimate.
Therefore, killing these rebel masterminds has cut off the greatest negotiating confidence of the New Party, and also restored Jinyiwei's detachment and will not be overly biased towards the New Party.
There is another reason, that is, what Jia Cong said to Zhuge Tai that he hoped that these people would die.
Not for the so-called justice of the law, but just for the redemption of his own heart.
Because these eight lieutenants didn't have to die.
But because of Jia Cong's deliberate negligence and release of water, they were killed in battle......
Jia Cong couldn't convince himself of his despicability with the statement that he would not lead soldiers on the battlefield, so he could only use the "noble" heads and blood of Bai Shijie, Zhen Fu and others to complete the redemption of his conscience.
Moreover, even if Bai Shijie, Zhen Fu and others died, the resources left by Jia Cong to the Jiangnan Governor Fu Yamen were still extremely rich.
These are all obtained by them without any effort.
What else is fat and thin?
Zhuge Tai is not an ordinary person, and from Jia Cong's eyes, he can somehow guess what he means.
Zhuge Tai gritted his teeth and reminded: "Master Jia, don't forget your identity, you originally did this!" You don't care about the overall situation of the court, for the sake of a small ...... This official will come to the table to impeach you! ”
Jia Cong waved his hand to stop the surrounding lieutenants who couldn't suppress their murderous aura, and said to Zhuge Tai: "Please, let Ning Zechen impeach me together." ”
Hearing this, Zhuge Tai took a deep breath, glanced at Jia Cong with disappointment, turned around and strode away.
In his opinion, Jia Cong has really embarked on an evil path for the sake of power struggle and ignoring the new law!
Jia Cong ignored the episode of Zhuge Tai's arrival, Zhuge Tai was indeed not Fang Yue, Tang Yan and the like, but he was just an excellent feudal bureaucrat in the end.
That's all.
Jia Cong believes that the Son of Heaven in Beijing may not be willing to see Jinyiwei charge forward for the New Party.
……
Half an hour later, Zhan Peng took back a thick stack of notes and handed it to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong looked at four or five photos at random, and a sneer appeared on his face.
That's human nature.
There is no need to even use torture, and in order to survive, the Bai family and the Qin family are eager to write down all the trivial things in their respective families.
All kinds of private affairs, bullying men and women, stealing wives and stealing sisters-in-law, and even raping mothers-in-law, are endless.
As for the annexation of land, it is even more important.
Of course, what they wrote was the sins of their clansmen......
After Jia Cong put away the charges, he ordered: "Line up." ”
Zhan Peng and Guo Yun hurriedly went to command, and after a pillar of incense kung fu, one hundred soldiers and four hundred captains totaled five hundred elites, and they stood neatly on the ancient river wharf.
At the forefront, there are soldiers who have built 16 heads in front of the incense case into a Beijing temple......
Jia Cong took a large thick bowl of sea liquor handed by Zhan Peng, slowly sprinkled it on the ground, and then raised the empty bowl with both hands, and tried his best to say loudly:
"Heroic soul, return!"
Everyone inside and outside the ancient river wharf was shocked and moved when they heard this roar.
The five hundred subordinates even felt a tremor and belonging from their souls, and they all roared angrily from the bottom of their hearts:
"Heroic Soul, Return!!"
This cohesion that changed the color of heaven and earth, Qin Hao, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son in the corner behind him, frowned.
Where is this just bribing subordinates, this is clearly cultivating dead soldiers!
Perhaps for the famous people and the ambitious people above, they only recognize the gains and losses.
But for these reckless green skins who don't even know a few big characters at the bottom, using this kind of emotional righteousness to lead the cage is the most powerful means.
Because only these people will meaninglessly value righteousness over life and death.
This teenager, what does he want to do?
……
Yangzhou City, the old residence of the Zhao family.
In the living room, Zhao Pu, Qiu Lun, Zheng Ze, Li Xin, Chen Nan, and Zhou Yi sat silently, silently experiencing the latest news they had just received.
All of them looked horrified and shocked.
Yangzhou City, how many years have I not seen such a tragic sword soldier?
After a long time, Qiu Lun was the first to speak, and said in a bitter voice: "Old man, can you only watch like this?" ”
The tone was full of unwillingness and grievance.
How many years have the eight salt merchants been operating in Yangzhou, and how many dignitaries have they seen? Even when the Holy Ancestor toured south, he had met them.
There is no such "arrogant" shouting and killing.
At this moment, Qiu Lun's heart was extremely angry.
Before Zhao Lun could answer, Zheng Ze sneered and said, "Why Lao Qiu, are you still ready to avenge the Bai family?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Lun's complexion changed suddenly.
If this word spreads, the Qiu family will immediately take a great risk and even suffer a blow.
Now that Jinyiwei is in the limelight, who dares to compete?
Qiu Lun stood up suddenly, pointed at Zheng Ze and said sharply: "You are spewing blood!" ”
Zheng Ze did not compete this time, but said with a smile: "Old Qiu, I know that your Qiu family and the Bai family are close, when your granddaughter married Lin Yanyuan as a concubine, it was still Bai Shijie's matchmaker...... Over the years, you have followed the Bai family and picked up a lot of benefits. But I kindly advise you today, no one will fall into the well and push you into the fire pit, so you don't want to jump up and down by yourself anymore. If you really want to annoy the person who burned the fire, do you think your Qiu family can survive? ”
"You ......"
When Qiu Lun heard this, his old face changed for a while, but after a few rough gasps, he sighed again, and first arched his hand to Zheng Ze to thank him, and then explained: "Why do I want to speak for the Bai family? Isn't this extremely unsteady in my heart, and I always feel that the day is precarious? I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm cowardly......"
Chen Nan, Zhou Yi and the others all shook their heads with a wry smile and said, "Where are you alone?" Are you down-to-earth when we are? It's not that there's no way, who made us just businessmen......"
Zhao Pu, who had been half-closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and wondered, "Why hasn't Bodao come yet?" ”
Bo Dao is the character of Anwar, the head of the An family.
Hearing this, Zheng Ze, Qiu Lun and others looked at each other, and they all shook their heads, saying that they didn't know.
However, there is also a little bad in my heart.
At this moment, the old housekeeper of the Zhao family hurriedly entered, his face pale, and he bowed down to the hall and said, "Master, there is news from the south that the Jinyi guard has surrounded the An family!" ”
"Bang!"
Zhao Pu was shocked when he heard this, Huo Ran got up, and knocked down the seat behind him.
