Chapter 474: Wang Lang was punished
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Wang Lang seemed to be familiar with this area, and under his guidance, the group came to the foot of a mountain in a roundabout.
There was a dilapidated thatched hut that looked to have been abandoned for a long time, the windows and doors were rotten, and looking inside, it was empty and empty.
Wang Lang walked directly into the thatched house, looked around, and then walked to the center of the thatched house, raised his foot and stomped on the ground, and said, "Dig this place!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of nerves Wang Lang had. Zhong Sheng glanced at Wang Lang, shook his head at his subordinates and said, "Your Majesty's words, didn't you hear them?" ”
The guards did not dare to slack off any longer, and the people, without the tools to dig the soil, drew their swords from their ribs and dug the dirt on the ground with all their hands and feet.
They dug more than half a meter deep, but there was nothing in the ground, people looked at Zhong Sheng in puzzlement, Zhong Sheng turned his head to look at Wang Lang, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty ......"
The old god Wang Lang said on the ground: "Keep digging, dig not deep enough!" ”
Zhong Sheng raised his head to his men and motioned for them to continue digging deeper.
People dug about a meter deep, and suddenly felt that there was something hard in the soil, people quickly picked up the floating soil on it, and looked closely, it turned out that there was a large copper box buried under the soil.
This large box is not small, and it is so heavy that people can't lift it by grabbing the edges.
As a last resort, people could only continue to dig along the edge of the box, but soon, hard things were encountered around the box, and the soil was pushed away, and it was still a large copper box.
Zhong Sheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, glanced at Wang Lang, and then waved his hand to the people standing around and watching, and said, "Let's go out and wait!" ”
As they exit the thatched huts and make way for enough space, people dig faster.
It didn't take long for four soldiers to use their strength to lift a large box. Carried from the inside of the house to the outside, just a few steps away, the four burly men were exhausted and panting, and they were sweating profusely.
When people put the boxes down, there was a muffled bang on the ground. Wang Lang glanced left and right, stepped forward, and slowly opened the lid of the box, and everyone around widened their eyes and looked inside the box.
The moment the lid opened, a golden light suddenly appeared inside. People couldn't help but squint their eyes, and when they looked closely, they saw that this box was filled with gold bricks, and a large box was packed.
It's no wonder that with only such a mouthful of boxes, it takes four big men to eat all their strength to barely lift it.
It didn't take long for people to bring out five large boxes, a total of six boxes, and lined up on the ground.
When I opened the lid, it was full of gold. Not to mention that the guards below were dumbfounded, even Zhong Sheng was equally dumbfounded.
Born in Guangyang Palace, he has long been accustomed to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, but it is the first time he has seen so much gold.
Wang Lang glanced at Zhong Sheng beside him triumphantly and said, "General Zhong, do you still think I'm lying to you?" "How much do you want, I can't afford it?
Zhong Sheng swallowed his saliva, bowed down, and said, "It's the last general who has no eyes, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”
Looking at Zhong Sheng who bowed down, Wang Lang couldn't help laughing, but suddenly, he heard a pop, Wang Lang's laughter stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and look at Zhong Sheng in disbelief.
The palace guards around were also stunned, and one by one they unconsciously opened their mouths wide, and came back to their senses for a while.
I saw Zhong Sheng, who was bowing down, and at some point he had pulled out the saber under his ribs, and the blade of the sword pierced along Wang Lang's lower abdomen, and the tip of the sword was poked out from his back.
"You...... You ......" Wang Lang's mouth opened and closed, wanting to speak, but all that came out of his mouth was blood.
Zhong Sheng took a step forward, approached Wang Lang, and said beside him: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the king of Guangyang has an order, and the last general will take your head back to Handan to resume his life!" ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword back, and with a sound of sand, the blade of the sword was withdrawn from Wang Lang's lower abdomen.
Wang Lang couldn't help but take two steps back, Zhong Sheng stepped forward, his sword fell, and a crisp click was heard in the ear chakra, and Wang Lang's head fell off in response.
Hiss! A bloody arrow erupted from the short neck. Zhong Sheng wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and at the same time shook off the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Kill everyone, leave no one!" ”
As soon as he gave an order, the guards sent by Liu Jie drew their swords one after another and struck a dead hand at the palace guards around them.
Liu Jie's subordinates were already numerous, with hundreds of people, while the palace guards only had about 200 people, and they were not prepared enough, so they were caught off guard by the surrounding Liu Jie's subordinates. In just an instant, dozens of people fell to the ground with swords in their swords.
The rest of the palace guards turned around to run, but where was the time?
Liu Jie's men surrounded their 100 or so people and launched a siege on them. This can no longer be called a battle, it is a completely one-sided massacre.
There was no tea before and after, and more than 200 palace guards who escaped from Handan with Wang Lang all fell in a pool of blood.
Zhong Sheng carried the sword, walked to the corpses, and saw that there were still those who were panting and not dying, so he immediately went up to make up for the sword.
He walked around from beginning to end, and made sure that there was no more alive, so he took out a piece of linen cloth from his armor, put Wang Lang's head in the linen, and wrapped it carefully.
At this time, one of the guards stepped forward and said, "General, what should she do?" ”
As he spoke, the guard pointed at Wang Lang's favorite concubine, who was sitting in the carriage and had already been frightened. Zhong Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "The king's order is to kill everyone!" ”
The guard shrank in fright, paused for a moment, and whispered: "General, it's a pity to kill her directly, what the brothers mean, can you ...... Will you kill it later? ”
When Zhong Sheng heard this, he immediately understood what the people below meant, he pondered for a moment and said, "Let the brothers hurry up!" After speaking, he added: "Also, send some brothers to the nearby villages and towns to find a few more carriages to come back!" ”
"Yes!" The guard replied with a beaming face. Wang Lang thought that Liu Jie was loyal to him, and specially sent hundreds of guards to protect him and escape from Handan. But how did he know that the reason why Liu Jie did this had two purposes, first, to kill Wang Lang, he Liu Jie wanted to monopolize it, and second, Wang Lang hid it
He wants the money outside the city. He didn't plan to swallow it himself, but wanted to dedicate it to Liu Xiu, so that his credit would be greater, and the courtesy and status he received would be higher.
As far as the city government and calculations are concerned, Liu Lin and Liu Jie are really not of the same level, and Liu Jie's scheming is far above Liu Lin.
When Zhong Sheng and the others returned to Handan with Wang Lang's head and six large boxes of gold, and placed them in front of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was overjoyed, whether it was Wang Lang's head or these six boxes of gold, they were very important to Liu Xiu.
After getting Wang Lang's head, he can give an explanation to the imperial court and the people of Hebei. With so much gold, Liu Xiu could hoard more grain, grass, supplies and military salaries, and levy more soldiers.
Liu Xiu sent a message to Xie Bow, saying that after Wang Lang fled Handan, he was killed by his subordinates and his body was abandoned in the wilderness, and now, his head was picked up by passing villagers and sent to Handan City.
After Xie Gong got the news, he rushed to Liu Xiu's mansion without a moment's delay. He only saw Wang Lang's head, and as for the six major boxes of gold, he naturally couldn't see it.
He circled around Wang Lang's head and muttered, "It turns out that this thief is Wang Lang!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Marquis Wu Xin, Wang Lang's head should be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible!" ”
Liu Xiu nodded, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know if Xie Shangshu sent someone to Chang'an, or if I sent someone to Chang'an?" ”
Whoever sends someone to send Wang Lang's head to Chang'an is equivalent to who killed Wang Lang, and the difference is quite big.
Xie bowed and said, Zhengse said: "Since it is the head of Wang Lang obtained by Wu Xinhou, it should be sent to Chang'an by Wu Xinhou. ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, speaking of which, Xie Bow's person is really good, but it's a pity that he has an elm head and a tendon, and he is loyal to Liu Xuan.
He nodded and said, "In that case, I will immediately send someone to send Wang Lang's head to Chang'an." ”
Xie bowed and asked, "Marquis Wuxin, didn't Wang Lang take all the gold, silver and jewelry with him when he fled Handan?" I wonder where those gold and silver jewels are now? Liu Xiu had long thought that Xie Gong would ask this, but he didn't think about it, and said: "Wang Lang was killed by his subordinates, and his gold, silver and jewelry were naturally robbed by his subordinates, and now it is almost impossible to track down this money!"
”
Xie bowed and stared at Liu Xiu, and took a deep breath, now that Wang Lang is dead, his subordinates are also running, scattered, and there is no proof of death, what you say is what it is.
He said meaningfully: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the Marquis of Wuxin is famous all over the world for his benevolence and virtue, and he should be loyal to His Majesty!" ”
Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Xie Shangshu's words, but they are implying that I am disloyal to His Majesty?" ”
Xie bowed and said, "Marquis Wuxin's words are serious, and the lower official is just reminding one or two, after all, His Majesty treats Marquis Wuxin very well!" ”
What he meant was that Liu Xiu wanted to rebel and do great rebellion, but His Majesty only killed Liu Xiu alone, not only did not kill Liu Xiu, but also gave him the title of Hou, which can be described as benevolence and righteousness. When Liu Xiu heard this, the expression on his face did not change, and his hands were naturally behind his back, if he was standing behind him, he could see that Liu Xiu's hands were tightly clenched into fists, his finger joints were white, and his nails were embedded in his palms
In the flesh and skin, blood is oozing.
He said faintly: "Yes, Your Majesty treats me really 'not thin', and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'grace as a mountain'. ”
Xie bowed and said: "Marquis Wu Xin can understand this, and the lower officials have nothing to say!" Leave! As he spoke, he bowed to Liu Xiushen and turned around and walked out.
Waiting for Xie Bow to leave, seeing that Liu Xiu was Liu Jie, who was forcibly suppressing his anger, he sneered and said: "Da Sima, this Xie Bow has a vicious mind and even more vicious words, so you must not stay!" ”
Liu Xiu took a long breath, the anger in his heart quickly dissipated, he smiled at Liu Jie, and said, "King Guangyang is reasonable!" ”
He said a word of thanks, and then handed over to Liu, and said: "This time, thanks to the help of King Guangyang, I not only killed Wang Lang, but also took back the money that Wang Lang looted!" ”
Liu Jie hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Da Sima and I are now in the same boat, and we should no longer divide each other!" ”
Liu Xiu said: "The kindness of the king of Guangyang, Xiuding remembers it in his heart!" ”
When Liu heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, he looked left and right, approached Liu Xiu, and said: "Now that Wang Lang is dead, Hebei has no owner, why don't Da Sima seize this opportunity and go further?" "Liu Xiu is only a marquis now, where is he qualified to be crowned king? Therefore, only when Liu Xiu sits on the throne can his title of King of Guangyang be justified.
