Chapter 783 Two brutes

"This ......" The second lady opened her mouth slightly, secretly glanced at Li Zicheng, saw the cold face, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and her smooth chin was tightly pressed against her chest.

The prince, princess, and prince are not there, and it is naturally their turn to be the master of this family, if the money and food are exposed, they are not the sinners of the palace? However, this Metropolitan Governor, with a smile on his face for a while, and a cold for a while, is clearly a smiling tiger who eats people and does not spit out bones......

What to do?

The prince is really, why did he run away and leave the concubine behind?

Li Zicheng saw that the second lady was hesitant and must have known something, so he said, "Do you think Zhu Changxun can come back?" Even if Zhu Changxun returns to Luoyang, which kiln will he get you back from? How much food is in this palace has nothing to do with you, right? ”

The second lady's shoulders shook, her face turned white with fright, her fairer face, coupled with her terrifying eyes, was painful and pitiful, Li Zicheng knew that now was not the time to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, "Say as much as you know, cooperate with the Governor of Pontus, and the Governor of Pontus will definitely not embarrass her!" ”

The second lady hesitated, finally raised her eyes, glanced at Li Zicheng, and then lowered her head and said weakly: "The Governor counts when he speaks......

"If the governor of Pontus is not a man of his word, how can he command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Don't worry, as long as you tell what you know, the governor of Pontus will arrange a good home for you, and you can give you a free body, let you go back to your parents' house to marry again, or help you find a good family to marry!" ”

"Ah......" The second lady's small mouth suddenly became a "○" shape, and her eyes were also wide, almost occupying half of her face.

"Zhu Changxun, don't think about it, when the Mandate of Heaven Army finds him, it will be a 'click', even if he slips through the net, Chongzhen will not spare him, the responsibility of losing the land is also a capital crime," Li Zicheng didn't scare her, when the Mandate of Heaven Army took Sichuan, Zhu Zhilu, the king of Taiping County, and Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang County, worked hard to get to Beijing, and was not cut off by Zhu Youzhen? "You can also choose not to cooperate, for the governor of Pontus, there is no loss, the money and food of the royal palace, you should not be the only one who knows, but my fate is probably completely different......"

The second lady can't help it, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and even the prince doesn't care about a rogue in his eyes, how can he care about a woman? I only hope that this Dadu Governor can let herself live if she speaks, she whispered: "Concubine...... The concubine only knows one ......"

"If you know as much as you know, you can say as much as you want," Li Zicheng said: "Let me ask you again, how many wives and concubines does Zhu Changxun have?" How many children do you have? ”

"In addition to the concubine, the prince now only has the princess," the second lady didn't understand what Li Zicheng meant, but she didn't dare not say, "The prince's child, only the son, was born to Mrs. Yao, but Mrs. Yao has passed away, and the whereabouts ......of the prince are unknown."

Li Zicheng nodded, he didn't expect Zhu Changxun to be lustful, as he is a prince, he can have as many women as he wants, even if he robs the people's daughters, the local government may not be able to control it, but the people in the house are thin, and the money and food consumed are less, and the money he has accumulated may be beyond his imagination.

He asked He Xiaomi to arrange two soldiers to follow the second lady to check some money and food, and not to move for the time being, just be guarded.

Li Zicheng came to the hall on the left side to escort the men, ordinary Fuding, would not know Zhu Changxun's whereabouts, let alone where the money and food were, and asked in vain, so he directly filtered the Fuding and interrogated the civil and military officials in the Fuzhong alone.

Sure enough, Wu Jing, the long history of the palace, was clear about the money and grain of the palace, and under Li Zicheng's questioning, he told all the money and grain storage locations he knew.

Changshi originally existed dependent on the palace, and as soon as the palace fell, Changshi became an ordinary person......

Li Zicheng personally took his own soldiers to investigate, and the grain was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of stones, and the value of gold and silver was estimated to be hundreds of thousands.

Out of the Fuwang Mansion, Li Zicheng heard the soldiers patrolling the street, beating gongs and drums, while appeasing the people in the city, while propagating the laws and military regulations of the Heavenly Mandate Army, especially the relationship between the Heavenly Mandate Army and the people, he was even more on his lips at any time, as long as he met the people, he would take the trouble to explain it again.

Li Zicheng laughed secretly in his heart, Wang Anping and they may have done such a thing in secret, otherwise why would the people in the city welcome the Heavenly Mandate Army into the city? It's only been half a day, and there have been a lot of people gathered on the street, if it weren't for the trust in the Heavenly Mandate Army, at such a moment, they would definitely stay at home and close the doors and windows tightly!

The people have no concept of whether or not, they only recognize the interests of reality, and there are hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the Fuwang Mansion, and it should not be a problem to help the hungry people in the city.

Walking to a ruined temple, I suddenly heard the noisy voices in front of me, and there was a faint cry of a woman, He Xiaomi said: "Dadu Governor, I'm afraid something has happened in front!" ”

"The Mandate of Heaven has entered the city, what else will happen?" In Li Zicheng's heart, there was an ominous premonition, "Xiaomi, you take a few brothers to take a look!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

He Xiaomi ordered two soldiers to leave in a hurry, and Wang Anping said: "The Metropolitan Governor, maybe the brothers are clearing the remaining defenders......"

Li Zicheng shook his head lightly, "If it is to clear the remnants of the enemy, how can there be a woman's cry?" ”

Wang Anping hesitated and said, "Metropolitan Governor, is it ......?"

"Many of the soldiers who entered the city had just joined the Mandate of Heaven Army," Li Zicheng said with a calm face, "They shouldn't have been allowed to enter the city in the first place......

Wang Anping whispered: "Metropolitan Governor, maybe this is not the worst outcome......

Li Zicheng glanced at Wang Anping, thoughtful, but did not speak.

He Xiaomi came back, and Lao Yuan shouted: "Governor, it's broken......"

Li Zicheng glared at He Xiaomi, "What do you have to say slowly!" ”

He Mi approached Li Zicheng and whispered: "Governor, in the early hours of the morning, two soldiers met a woman who got up early and dragged them to the broken temple in front to commit violence...... Now their families are crying, and the women who have been victims are also looking for life and ......"

Did this really happen? Li Zicheng's heart sank, this was definitely not done by the soldiers of the fourth battalion, they were all veterans, they had attacked the city many times, this kind of thing had never happened, it must have been done by new soldiers.

He frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Li Zicheng took Wang Anping to the crowd, and was surrounded by soldiers in front of him, He Xiaoxiao stepped forward and shouted: "Dodge, dodge, the governor is here!" ”

The soldiers scrambled to dodge to both sides, making way for a wide passage, Li Zicheng walked to the door of the broken temple, sure enough, there were seven or eight people who looked like ordinary people, two old women were choking, an old man beside him, his eyes were dull, two descendants looked angry, his fists were clenched tightly, and a young woman opposite, with her hair scattered, was in front of her, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was sobbing in a low voice, I don't know if it was fear or shame!

Li Zicheng stepped forward and took the old woman's hand, "Auntie, is this true?" ”

The old woman raised her teary eyes, glanced at Li Zicheng, knew that it was an officer, and hurriedly leaned down and knelt on the ground, knocking her head on the ground, "The military master wants to make decisions for the grass people...... The grass people were looking forward to the Tianming army entering the city, but they didn't expect ......"

"The eldest lady got up first, and said slowly," Li Zicheng bowed and stretched out his hands to help the old woman up, "Auntie, when did this happen?" ”

"As soon as it was dawn, the girl got up and ......"

Li Zicheng glanced at the young woman and said, "Girl, if I let all the people line up, can you recognize those two brutes?" ”

The woman nodded vigorously and said in the smallest voice: "Yes, the sky is already bright at this time......"

Li Zicheng bowed his hand to the group of people, "Auntie, girl, everyone, don't worry, the governor of Pontus will definitely give you an explanation!" Turning back to the soldiers, he shouted, "Whose subordinates are you?" ”

When a sturdy officer heard this, he hurriedly ran over, turned over and knelt on the ground, "My subordinates knock on the governor!" ”

"Fondon?" Li Zicheng drew half a circle with his finger, "These are your subordinates?" ”

"Back to the Grand Duke, they are all subordinate brothers......"

"Do you know who did it?" Li Zicheng didn't let Fang Deng get up, but shouted angrily: "Let those two brutes get out!" ”

"This ......" Fang Deng prostrated on the ground, not daring to get up for a while, "Metropolitan Governor, brothers are first-time offenders...... Can you pay some money? ”

"Silver? Do you think silver is omnipotent? Li Zicheng kicked Fang Deng over, "The Mandate of Heaven Army is not a rogue, it has its own strict military discipline, and it has always been based on the interests of the people, you are the main general, and you actually have the face to intercede for these two beasts?" ”

Fang Deng was kicked on all fours, extremely embarrassed, hurriedly turned over, and continued to kneel in front of Li Zicheng, kowtowing like a green onion, "subordinates are guilty......

Li Zicheng shouted angrily: "Why don't you hand over the two beasts? ”

Fang Deng turned his head and glanced behind him, and suddenly two soldiers knelt down, "The Metropolitan Governor spares his life, we will definitely make meritorious contributions to the crime......"

"Meritorious service is meritorious service, fault is fault, and merit and demerit cannot be offset!" Li Zicheng shouted coldly: "Don't come yet? ”

The two didn't dare to get up, walked dozens of steps on their knees, and came to Li Zicheng's face, their faces were as frightened as earth, "The metropolitan governor spares his life, we know that we are wrong......

Li Zicheng didn't answer, bent down, grabbed a man by the collar with one hand, lifted the two of them, dragged them to the young woman, and said, "Girl, you see, are these two beasts?" ”

Only then did the woman raise her head slightly, brushing her hair to the sides with her hands, revealing most of her eyes, and after just looking at them, she screamed, "It's them, it's these two beasts......"

Li Zicheng pushed hard and threw the two of them to the ground, "Don't worry, girl, the governor of Pontus will give you an explanation now!" His face suddenly became gloomy, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you have military exploits this time, the reward will not be less than yours, in addition, I will send someone to send some silver taels to your family, their future life, you don't have to worry!" ”

The two of them were not in good consciousness, and hurriedly shouted: "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility, that's the man!" He waved his hand to He Xiaomi, and shouted: "Pull it down, cut it!" ”
