Chapter 299: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots

"Ahh

Hearing the deafening sound of firecrackers outside, and then looking at the tragic situation of dead and injured all over the ground in the blink of an eye, the five still alive hundred households and the head of the gambling stall and others were all dumbfounded.

Jia Cong and the others didn't give them a chance to react at all, Shen Yan and Han Tao were the elite cadres in the Jinyi pro-army back then, trained since childhood, although they were far from Zhanpeng's talent, but they were unexpectedly angry, and it was more than enough to kill a few panicked and frightened people.

What's more, these hundreds of households, shopkeepers and the like, using a tiger skin to bully the good people who dare not fight back, are okay, and they fight with real knives and guns, how can they have dog guts?

Next, it didn't take Jia Cong's action at all, and Zhanpeng, Shen Yan and Han Tao, who were hated by the Jinyi pro-army, killed the remaining few people like chickens and dogs in a few ups and downs.

Even the four maids were knocked unconscious by Han Tao, and they tore off their sweat towels and tied them up.

After everything calmed down, Shen Yan, Han Tao, and Zhan Peng all gasped.

There is nervousness, excitement, excitement.

Shen Yan didn't expect that the predicament that he had been aggrieved for half his life would be broken like this.

Han Tao is excited about a good start, and the road to the revival of brocade clothes has set sail!

And Zhan Peng was more excited than the two, in the past six months, the hatred of the Jinyi pro-army in his heart could not be washed away by pouring all the water of the three rivers.

But he alone could not take revenge in any way, and his hatred for his incompetence was second only to hatred for his enemies.

Unexpectedly, after meeting the nobleman, it only took a few days to make his great revenge begin to be avenged!

Looking at Zhan Peng, who was excited and his eyes were red, Jia Cong, who had calmed down, softened his face and said, "Do you know what's wrong with you?" ”

When Zhan Peng heard this, he looked at it respectfully and said regretfully: "My subordinates are incompetent. ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "If you are really incompetent, I will not accept you...... You took the wrong path from the beginning, Liu Yue deceived your junior sister, you should kill her, otherwise how could you be a man? That's right.

But you're not doing enough, and you're afraid. When encountering major events, we must be bold and decisive, and if we want to do it, we must do it thoroughly!

If you really cut the grass and eradicate the roots of Liu Zhao and Liu Yue's father and son, although the consequences are also serious, it is definitely much easier than now.

Even if you run away. If they threaten your relatives, you should immediately fight back, first find a heinous person, slaughter him, and leave no chickens and dogs, so as to deter and warn the enemy, and let them understand that whoever dares to touch a finger of your relatives will be punished by the nine tribes!

Most of those people think they are precious porcelain, which one dares to exchange their lives with you? So you seem to be affectionate and righteous and not afraid of death, but in fact you are trapped to death.

Do you understand? ”

Zhan Peng's ears were as shocking as a bell and a big drum, and it wasn't until Han Tao reminded him that he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Thank you for your teachings." ”

Jia Cong bowed slightly, listened to the fading fighting sound in front of him, and said, "Guo Yun, they're about to finish, let's go, let's take a look." Shen Yan ......"

Shen Yan bowed down and responded: "Humble duty!" ”

Jia Cong said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, you will take over the responsibility of thousands of households in Guangdong Province. ”

There was a stir in Shen Yan's eyes, and he responded in a loud voice: "Humble and orderly!" ”

Jia Cong frowned slightly and said, "Don't be happy too early, what is there to be happy about, your burden is very heavy...... I want you to take over a thousand households today, and take what is available.

For at least five days from today, thousands of households will be closed, and not a single fly will be allowed to fly out, so as to ensure that the news is not leaked.

Five days later, if you really can't hide it, you will take my letter and send it to Zhao Kunpeng, the governor of Canton Province, and tell him what happened today.

But if you can be late, try to be as late as possible, and you have to withstand the pressure.

and then confiscated the wealth of Nie Qiong and others, recruited troops, and stabilized his power.

Finally, to arrive at Jinling Mansion before October 15, this is a death order.

I will be waiting for you in the Thousand Households on the shore of Xuanwu Lake in Jinling.

Got a note of? ”

After Shen Yan solemnly received the order, as soon as he got up, he saw Guo Yun, who was full of blood, leading people to come in and reply to his life: "My lord, a total of 68 thieves were punished, 75 people were surrendered, and no one escaped. All the gates of the Thousand Houses have been placed under martial law and are forbidden to pass. ”

Jia Cong nodded and asked, "Are there any casualties among the brothers below?" ”

A warm color flashed in Guo Yun's eyes, and he replied, "There are only three people who are slightly injured, and they are not in the way." ”

After Jia Cong hummed, he said, "Dig a pit in the back garden and bury the body." The weather is too hot, and the corpse poison plague is careful. The others trimmed and dined, and two hours later the whole army set out. Choose a good horse from a thousand households......"

After Guo Yun received the order, he turned around and sent someone to do it.

After a while, a personal soldier came in and dragged the corpses away......

After the hall was cleaner, Shen Yan said to a young man behind Guo Yun: "Shen Lang, come here." ”

The young man was also covered in blood, and there was an embroidered spring knife around his waist, which should have been captured.

Hearing Shen Yan's words, the young man in his twenties walked over, with a straight face and no smile.

Shen Yan bowed to Jia Cong and said: "Although there are many talents around the adults, there are still few people who lead the horse and fall into the saddle before and after the horse. Although the dog is not a weapon, he is stupid and stupid, but he has a strength, knowing the word loyalty and filial piety. Therefore, I am humble and courageous, and I implore you to accept him as a long-term soldier......"

As he spoke, seeing Jia Cong's brows furrowed slightly, he hurriedly explained: "The humble position is also a bit selfish, I hope he can follow the adult, if he can learn the talent of the adult, he can also benefit for life." ”

Jia Cong glanced at Shen Yan's son, saw that his face was pale, and said bluntly to Shen Yan: "You want to give hostages?" Don't. Things are complicated on your side, and that's where people are employed.

Besides, I don't doubt the use of people, and I don't use suspicious people. If there really is one day, it is actually nothing if you want to learn from Nie Qiong and others. ”

Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "My lord has the world in mind, he is full of pride, and he can speculate if he is not a humble position, which makes his adult smile...... However, the humble position is to sincerely hope that the dog can follow the adult's left and right, and the adult's words of the brother Zhan, even the humble position has made progress, and he knows that the adult genius is bestowed. Dogs are silent by nature, and they are not talents on their own, so it is of little use to stay here. If you can get a word or two of guidance from adults, you will benefit for life!

This selfishness of lowly duties is also expected to be fulfilled by adults. ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and asked for his grace.

Seeing his father kneeling, Shen Lang naturally had no reason to stand, and still knelt down without smiling.

Guo Yun stood beside Jia Cong and said softly: "Uncle, Shen Lang's martial arts are good and his boxing skills are exquisite. ”

Jia Cong looked at Shen Lang and said, "Have you studied martial arts?" Who did you learn from? ”

Although Shen Lang is silent, he is not good or bad, today's changes, he still understands the good and bad of the Shen family, so he replied in a deep voice: "Father." ”

Jia Cong was surprised when he heard this, as far as he saw just now, although Shen Yan was not bad, he was at least three grades worse than Zhan Peng.

But Guo Yun said that Shen Lang's martial arts were good......

Xu saw Jia Cong's suspicions, and Shen Yan explained: "My lord, the size of a person's achievements in martial arts is related to his talent and understanding, and his humble talent is mediocre, so he doesn't want to be a dog, but he has a bit of talent. Although he practiced the same family boxing method, he was not his opponent when he was thirteen years old. ”

Jia Cong nodded when he heard this, and said to Guo Yun: "Since you are in love, take it." ”

Shen Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled his son Shen Lang to thank him.

After that, Han Tao said to Jia Cong: "My lord, do you want to rest overnight and leave...... Inferior rank is irrelevant, but it is an adult...... It's been a long time. ”

Jia Cong stepped on the remaining pool of blood and walked to the window, looked at the night outside the window, exhaled softly, muttered for a while, and shook his head: "I can't afford to delay time, let's hold on for a while." ”

"Your Excellency!"

Han Tao's face was slightly excited, and he said, "If your lord can trust the humble position, the humble position will take someone to Guixi now and go to connect with Yao Yuan." The Qianhu Institute in Guixi is not as good as Yuezhou...... If you can't take the thousand households in Guixi, you will come to see it! Adults can rest for two days before heading north......"

Jia Cong turned around, his face was much thinner than when he set off from the capital, and his cheekbones were a little prominent.

But the appearance is still clear and good.

A pair of eyes as lacquered as stars seem to be brighter and brighter.

Although there was a look of exhaustion on his face, but there was no sense of fatigue, Jia Cong's eyes swept over everyone, and said: "I know that everyone is working hard, running around for months, and my mind is tired, and so am I."

However, if you don't seize this opportunity, take the enemy by surprise when they are proud and sluggish, strike a thunderous blow, and cut them into powder cleanly, and when they come to their senses, it will take too much time, energy, and cost to get rid of them.

I believe you all understand this truth, so I hope you will continue for another month and a half.

Don't worry about me, if you can persevere, I can do it. ”

"I am willing to die for my lordship!!"

Good talents are afraid of meeting the master, but now seeing Jia Cong at such an age, but his heart is so tenacious and decisive, how can everyone be unhappy?

Both the old and the new, they have expressed their loyalty.

Not long after, a soldier came to ask: "Uncle, how to deal with the women and children in the house?" ”

Han Tao stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he looked at Shen Yan and said, "Now you are a thousand households in Guangdong Province, what do you say?" ”

Shen Yan thought about it, hesitated, and said, "Nie Qiong, Li Bing, Zhou Yang and others are dead, and their families are not to worry...... Let's put it in the dungeon first, you can't put it, these people have hatred in their hearts. Kill ...... There were more people. ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Men who are taller than the wheels will be killed, and the rest will be sent to the health hall." The female dependents were put into the women's prison for the time being, and I will be useful in the future. ”

Everyone was awe-struck when they heard this, but Shen Yan did not hesitate, and responded in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is reasonable!" Subordinate...... The subordinates are ashamed, and they are old, but they still can't see through the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. ”

His son Shen Lang seemed to be unbearable, endured it again and again, and still said: "Those who are higher than the wheel are also children......"

Jia Cong's eyes were indifferent and he didn't answer.

Shen Yan sank his face and shouted: "Children can also grow up, and they will also take revenge!" When they take revenge, will they spare the children in our family? ”

Han Tao said more directly: "Xiao Lang, if it wasn't for Nie Qiong's arrogance and carelessness, he would have spared your father and your two lives, even if he still can't escape death today, but we have to go through a lot of trouble, don't you understand this truth?" ”

Not only Shen Lang understood, but Zhan Peng, who was originally not very good-looking, also understood, although he was still depressed in his heart.

Jia Cong looked at the remaining blood marks on the ground, and said softly: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, which is an eternal principle." To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself and one's family. Those who are standing here now will be the core backbone of Jinyiwei. I hope you can understand this truth, and don't hurt others and yourself for some stupid thoughts in your heart, and lose your life early. ”

Although the wind on his face was light, Jia Cong still sighed lightly in his heart.

The most difficult thing to lead the team is to gather people's hearts.

If the people's hearts are not aligned and the ideological concepts are not unified, it will never be possible to bring out an iron-clad team.

So, many times he had to incarnate as a commissar.

But baptism is not something that can be completed overnight......

Thinking of this, Jia Cong put the matter aside for the time being, and said to Guo Yun: "Get some food, eat and rest for a while before you can go on the road." It just so happens that Nie Qiong is entertaining guests today, and they are all ready-made wine and food......"

……

An hour and a half later, Jia Cong and the others were full of food and drink, and Shen Yan led people to prepare a batch of high-quality horses for them, all of which were selected from Nie Qiong's stable.

And he prepared enough dry food and silver coupons of fifty thousand taels of silver.

This is a part of the family wealth that Nie Qiong has saved for half his life, and Jia Cong left the rest to Shen Yan to recruit troops.

The night was already dark, and Jia Cong and his party of more than 20 rode out of the back door of the thousand households and disappeared into the vast night.

……
