Hearing Zhong Feng's words, among the family members behind Wang Gongbi, some people immediately began to cry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, spare your life!"

"General, we scholars have never done evil..."

Wang Gongbi looked at Zhong Feng with a frightened face, and said in a panic: "I am the governor of the palace, and the official of the imperial court..."

Zhong Feng snorted and scolded: "Old man, let me tell you, in the eyes of the Tiger Master, there are only two kinds of people: friends and enemies. We don't care if you are an official of the imperial court, a thief, or a Manchu Tartar. As long as you violate Xingguobo, you are an enemy who should be killed! ”

Zhong Feng looked at the family behind Wang Gongbi, shook his head and said, "You have a lot of sons, three sons?" It's all gone, it's really sad and lamentable! ”

Wang Gongbi was already paralyzed on the ground weakly, trembling and said, "Is there a royal law here..."

Zhong Feng shouted: "When you burn cotton merchant cotton, do you know what the royal law is?" You killed seven friends and businessmen of the Fan family, and you are so ruthless, do you know the king's law? ”

Zhong Feng waved his hand and said loudly: "Escort down, and wait until you catch the others to ask and behead together!" ”

After detaining and interrogating the governor of Shandong, Zhong Feng personally went to the governor's yamen and went to the squad to rescue the eleven cotton merchants who sold cotton to Fanjiazhuang.

One of the larger cotton merchants surnamed Yao had also met in Fanjiazhuang and Zhong Feng. As soon as he saw Zhong Feng leading his troops into the squad room, his eyes were blood-red with excitement, he grabbed his daughter's hand tightly, and said, "Que'er, we have been saved!" ”

Zhong Feng took a steward of the governor's yamen, and was about to use the keys one by one to open the chains of the class room. However, as soon as Zhong Feng looked up, he saw that the first class room was locked up with a businessman's family surnamed Yao. Zhong Feng was stunned, and secretly said that this was an acquaintance, and he didn't wait for the official to come up, so he pulled out a steel knife and cut the chain and opened the class.

"Yao Yuanwai, let you suffer!"

The businessman surnamed Yao burst into tears with excitement, knelt in front of Zhong Feng, and said, "Thank you Commander Zhong for saving my life and saving my family." ”

Zhong Feng hurriedly went up to help Yao Yuanwai and asked in a good voice, "Yao Yuanwai's family didn't suffer, right?" ”

When the merchant surnamed Yao heard this, two lines of hot tears flowed out, wiped his tears and said: "The youngest son was thirsty, begging for saliva in the class room, was beaten by the archers, and died in the cell three days ago. Fortunately, the eldest son and two daughters were not beaten and survived. ”

Zhong Feng sighed and said, "We're late, Xue Yuan's outer festival mourns." Xue Yuanwai's loss this time, I, Fan Jiazhuang, bear it with all my might. The archer who beat Yao Yuanwai's child, Xue Yuanwai helped us identify it. As long as you do something to Xue Yuanwai'er, you will be beheaded and abandon the city. ”

At this time, the situation had been completely reversed, and the cotton merchants, who had been reduced to prisoners, had suddenly become the masters of the lives of these officials, and a single word could take the lives of these officials. Hearing Zhong Feng's murderous words, the official in charge of the key knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed and shouted: "Master Yao Mingjian, I have always been honest in charge of the key, and I haven't done anything to your son!" ”

The businessman surnamed Xue snorted coldly, wiped his tears and said, "My youngest daughter walked a step slower when she entered the class room, and you pushed her hard and fell to the ground!" ”

Zhong Feng shouted: "Evil obstacles, it turns out that they are so rampant!" Take it for me! ”

Two soldiers of the trapping regiment rushed forward and grabbed the official who was in charge of the key. The official trembled with fright, knelt on the ground and shouted: "General, I just pushed, and the sin is not to death!" ”

Zhong Feng sneered and said, "If Uncle Xingguo is here, he may beat you fifty boards and let you go." After a pause, Zhong Feng said again: "But if you run into me Zhong Feng, you will be unlucky." My favorite thing Zhong Feng does is to kill people, especially you corrupt officials. ”

Zhong Feng waved his hand and asked the soldiers to save the other cotton merchants. Then he turned to the merchant surnamed Yao and said, "Outside Yao, I have captured all the archers of the governor's yamen, and they have all been caught in the courtyard of the governor's yamen. You go out with us to identify which officials have captured you, and which archers have beaten your son, and they will all be executed. ”

The merchant surnamed Yao was frightened by the murderous Zhong Feng, nodded and said: "At that time, the scene was panicked, and I just glanced at which official and which archer, I was afraid that I would recognize the wrong person." ”

Zhong Feng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, outside of Yao, these officials and servants should be killed one by one, and it doesn't hurt if you admit a few mistakes." ”

The businessman surnamed Yao was stunned when he heard Zhong Feng's words. Finally, he understood that he was now a friend of Xingguobo, and his status was special. Now that he has the authority in his hands, he can decide the life and death of these archers.

The opportunity for revenge is just around the corner.

His face was red with excitement, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go out and identify and avenge Xiao'er!" ”

After arresting the officials and archers who did evil, Zhong Feng led people to arrest the gentry who smashed Fanjiazhuang's commodities in the whole city. Jinan City is a big city, and there were seven shops selling Fanjiazhuang goods in the city, but all of them were smashed this time. Zhong Feng's soldiers led the merchants to the door to arrest people, and arrested more than ten gentry and family owners.

In the evening, the arrest was over, and the hundreds of prisoners to be executed were all tied up and held in the courtyard of the governor's yamen.

At noon the next day, the prisoners were taken to the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city.

However, there is no one in the market today. Originally, after Zhong Feng's army captured Jinan, the people did not dare to go out, and the vendors in the vegetable market saw that the soldiers controlled the city gate, where did they dare to go out of the city to buy vegetables? The market was empty.

Zhong Feng looked at the deserted street and said, "There is no one to watch the execution of prisoners, as if they were sneaking around. ”

With a wave of his hand, Zhong Feng said loudly to a battalion commander: "You lead the troops and invite a thousand people to watch and witness!" ”

The battalion commander was stunned and asked, "Regiment commander, how do you please?" What if the people don't dare to come? ”

Zhong Feng's eyes widened, and he scolded: "You have rifles, why don't you invite a few people?" ”

Gao Ligong hurriedly said: "Commander Zhong, this is not appropriate. If you let the uncle know that the head of the regiment forcibly conscripted the people, I am afraid that the head of the regiment will be punished. ”

Zhong Feng looked at Gao Ligong, smiled, turned to the battalion commander and said: "You go door to door and knock on the door, just say that Xingguobo's soldiers killed corrupt officials and bad gentry, invite the people of Jinan to witness, say well, don't use guns!" ”

The battalion commander shouted the order, and then led the soldiers to go from house to house to invite the people. Zhong Feng waited for an hour, and finally before noon, more than 1,000 onlookers waited at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Zhong Feng walked in front of the people and shouted loudly: "Neighbors, I am Zhong Feng, the head of the regiment under the command of Tianjin Xingguobo, who led Xingguo Bohu to fight crimes, and came to Jinan to arrest corrupt officials, corrupt officials and inferior gentry who tried in vain to obstruct Xingguobo's tax collection and cut off Xingguobo's trade route. ”

"Xing Guobo collected land from the gentry in Tianjin this time, and no one can stop it!"

"These 100 criminals, including Wang Gongbi, the governor of Shandong, smashed the commodities of Fanjiazhuang, seized the cotton merchants, and attempted to prevent Xingguobo from collecting taxes on the gentry, all of which are unforgivable crimes and should be beheaded!"

Zhong Feng's eloquence is not very good, and he can't say too much. However, in a few words, he also made the reason for this expedition clear.

Hearing Zhong Feng's words, the onlookers beat drums in their hearts one by one. This Tianjin Xingguo Uncle is too powerful. Others smashed goods and seized merchants in Jinan, and he actually sent troops to Jinan to kill people. The city wall of Jinan is so thick, it can't even hold it for a day, and it was killed by Xingguobo's people.

Even the governor dares to kill?

In this world, who else dares to stop Xingguobo from collecting taxes?

Zhong Feng looked at Wang Gongbi, the governor of Shandong, and said with a smile: "Lao Suo, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Wang Gongbi trembled all over and said tremblingly: "You can't kill me... I'm the governor..."

Zhong Feng smiled: "It's you who killed the governor!" ”

"Shoot!"

"I'm the Governor!"

A soldier aimed his rifle at Wang Gongbi's heart, snorted coldly, and pressed the trigger. only heard a snap, and a blood flower appeared on Wang Gongbi's left chest. Wang Gongbi looked at the smoking rifle muzzle in disbelief, desperately clutched the position of his heart, took a few breaths, and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

"Shoot!"

More than a hundred soldiers with rifles stepped forward and pointed their guns at the prisoner's head. Crackling gunshots rang out one after another, and more than 100 traitors and gentry kneeling at the entrance of the vegetable market, including Wang Gongbi's three sons, were all shot to the ground.
