As soon as Yang Xing's words came out, the people standing in front of the barrier were in an uproar. However, Yang Xing didn't take it to heart, and just urged Zhang Song to surrender.

"Yang Xing, if you surrender to the Flying Dragon Thief and kill the people, aren't you afraid that we will sue the court and punish you for treason?" Zhang Song persuaded loudly, "When the time comes, you will have to be stabbed in the neck, and your children will also be implicated, I think you should let my mother, younger brother, and sister out as soon as possible, and go to the county guard to ask for guilt!" ”

"The Imperial Court? Hey. Yang Xing sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you don't need to worry about other things so much, you just need to surrender now, do you want to ignore your mother's death?" Where is your filial piety? ”

The surrounding people already knew that it was Zhang Song who was standing in front of them, and when they heard Yang Xing's question, they all turned their eyes to Zhang Song.

"Zhang Song should surrender, or his mother will die."

"Yes, last time he was able to change his mother and go to the more dangerous den of thieves, and he must do the same this time."

"Yes, I also think Zhang Song will do this, otherwise, what he did last time is fake?"

……

For a while, the onlookers no longer talked about Yang Xing, but instead talked about Zhang Song's filial piety.

The voices of the people became louder and louder, reaching the ears of Yang Xing and the patriarch of the Wang family, who were sitting on the watchtower drinking tea.

"I just said, don't worry, you see that the people are going to stand aside with me now, Zhang Song will definitely be arrested in the end!" Yang Xing said triumphantly to the patriarch of the Wang family.

"Or the county is respectful, this time except for Zhang Song, we are invincible, in the future the court asked, we not only burned the flying dragon thieves, but also annihilated a large number of unknown thieves, if the flying dragon thieves asked, we are to avenge the flying dragon thieves who died in Yongping County. County Zun, think about it, your idea is really high! The patriarch of the Wang family admired.

"To survive in troubled times, it naturally takes a certain amount of brains."

Seeing that the patriarch of the Wang family, who had always been above the top and did not take himself seriously, praised him heartily, Yang Xing was as happy as drinking snow water on a June day.

Zhang Song stood in front of the queue, unmoved by Yang Xing's words, if he was moved by Yang Xing's words, he would have lived an extra life in vain.

"Hey, why didn't Zhang Song move?" The patriarch of the Wang family asked in surprise, "If Zhang Song just doesn't listen, then what should I do?" “

Yang Xing looked at Zhang Song, and said to the patriarch of the Wang family with a smile: "Don't worry, the old man has no reason for Zhang Song." Let me add to the fire, even if Zhang Song doesn't want to hear it, then the foolish people surrounding below will force him to comply. ”

Yang Xing took a sip of tea slowly, got up slowly, and faced Zhang Song and the people standing under the barrier.

"Filial piety is the foundation of this dynasty, just to honor the stepmother Zhu, Wang Xiang Wang Taifu can still lie on the ice and beg for fish, and now, the biological mother is in danger, as a son, Zhang Song actually ignores it, for a beast like Zhang Song, how can we tolerate him standing on this land in Yongping County?"

As soon as Yang Xing's words came out, the onlookers all looked at Zhang Song with strange eyes, some of them were worried, and some of them hated.

Most of the people who hate Zhang Song are old people, and the eyes of these old people make people feel that if Zhang Song does not agree to Yang Xing's request, it is a great crime.

In fact, it may also be a heinous crime, Zhang Song, who knows a little about history, knows that there have been provisions similar to the ten articles of felony in the Jin Dynasty, and unfilial piety is one of them.

The Ten Felonies developed in the Tang Dynasty and became finalized. Unfilial piety, along with rebellion, rebellion, and treason, are defined as ten serious crimes, which are often referred to as the "Ten Evils."

The "Ten Evils" are not pardoned when the emperor pardons criminals, which is what later generations often called "Ten Evils". Those who commit unfilial piety, regardless of the first subordinate, will abandon the market. Abandonment is the execution of a prisoner in a crowded downtown to show that the crime is spurned by the public.

"It seems that Zhang Song doesn't plan to change his mother, he is really an unfilial person!"

"Indeed, no wonder some people say that the last time he exchanged his body for his mother should have been fake, and he had already colluded with the thieves."

"That's impossible, if Zhang Song listened to the words of the county honor, would he and his subordinates still have a life?"

"You just said nonsense, the county lord has promised to leave them alive."

"I mean, what's the matter with you? Zhang Song just killed the Flying Dragon Thief for us, not only did you not thank him, but you wanted him to die, what kind of heart is An. ”

"These are two different things, of course he has merit in killing the Flying Dragon Thief, but if his mother is in the hands of others and he doesn't save it, it must be a loss of filial piety!" An old voice said.

……

Yang Xing used filial piety as a weapon, which really made Zhang Song difficult to deal with. The surrounding people listened to Yang Xing's words, and they were a little nervous, and even the soldiers of Qingsong Valley were also a little uneasy.

Fang Tao and Kong Yi beside Zhang Song all looked at Zhang Song, and their eyes were worried that they couldn't hide.

"Zhang Jun, we will fake surrender, they open the gate of the barrier, we will rush in and kill them clean!" Chang Shen gritted his teeth and said.

If it is said that the last time Zhang Song consciously healed the wounded of Qingsong Valley, Chang Shen admired Zhang Song as a person, then a series of subsequent things, solving the siege of Qingsong Valley, conquering the West Cave Thieves and Huayang Thieves, solving the problem of food shortage, attacking and killing the Flying Dragon Thieves, which Zhang Song did easily, Chang Shen already deeply respected Zhang Song.

This time, Chang Shenhe believed that Zhang Song had a way to solve the problem in front of him, which he was convinced of, but Chang Shen was not angry with Yang Xing and the surrounding people's accusations against Zhang Song.

In Chang Shen's opinion, everything Zhang Song did was correct, even if Zhang Song decided not to change his mother, it must be a last resort, not that filial piety is a loss, and others should not be blamed. On the contrary, the most blameworthy of these people is precisely the evil Yongping County Commander Yang Xing.

The commotion of the people and the uneasiness of the soldiers in Qingsong Valley, Yang Xing saw it in his eyes, he was overjoyed, and decided to add another fire.

"Zhang Song, as long as you put down your weapons and tie your hands and arrest you, I will release your mother, younger brother, and sister immediately, and I promise not to hurt the lives of you and your subordinates, now it depends on whether you are filial piety, otherwise, I believe that the good people of Yongping County will not let you go!"

The sky was already bright, and a glow appeared in the eastern sky, reflecting the whole sky very beautifully.

Zhang Song glanced at both sides of the barrier, and around the barrier was a narrow dirt road, and there was no one to see on the dirt road at this time.

Zhang Song gave Fang Tao, Kong Yi, Chang Shen and others who were worried about him a smile, the smile was calm and sunny, without a trace of fear, worry or other negative emotions, just like the smile of the neighbor's big boy in the morning sun.

Somehow, seeing Zhang Song's smile, the worries in Fang Tao and Kong Yi's hearts disappeared at once, as if the trace of fog under the clear sky had all melted away after the sun shone.

Chang Shen was not worried, but was angry at Yang Xing's slander of Zhang Song. At this time, as soon as he saw Zhang Song's smile, he knew that Zhang Song was already prepared, so he no longer insisted on his opinion.

Zhang Song turned around, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the people who were about to move and the uneasy soldiers of Qingsong Valley, and the eyes were so sharp that they felt that they were the ones who were at fault. The uneasiness of the soldiers in the Green Pine Valley was eliminated, and the impatience of the surrounding people was also suppressed.

Although the people were still ready to move just now and wanted to tie themselves up and give them to Yang Xing, Zhang Song couldn't be angry with these people, but wanted to win them over.

Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he might have been held hostage by the people who Yang Xing fanned up, Zhang Song thought to himself.

When he turned around again, a decadent look appeared on Zhang Song's face. This look is that Yang Xing and the patriarch of the Wang family, who are far away in the watchtower, can also see it clearly, and Yang Xing and the patriarch of the Wang family are overjoyed.

"Does the county's words count?"

"Count, count!"

"Can the county remember what he said?"

"Remember, remember!"

Yang Xing, who was overjoyed, hurriedly promised, and waited for Zhang Song and his men to be captured at the next moment.

"I don't think it counts, I think at the beginning, when you came to Yongping County to take office, you also promised to treat the people well and protect the good, but a few days ago the Flying Dragon Thieves attacked Yongping County, but you forgot your promise and surrendered Yongping County to the Flying Dragon Thieves, so that the people of Yongping County were enslaved by the Flying Dragon Thieves."

Yang Xing's smile stiffened suddenly, and Zhang Song's turn made him unable to turn for a while.

"The last time I left Yongping County, the county respected and promised to take good care of my relatives, but now that you have arrested them, and even want to kill them, where do you still have a little credit? In fact, I don't need to be arrested, as long as you give an order, my mother will have no worries, this has nothing to do with filial piety, but about whether you are in the same league with the dragon thief! Zhang Song's words were loud, not only for Yang Xing, but also for the people around him.

Yang Xing was angry, it turned out that he would be wrong and wrong, or Zhang Song was simply teasing him. However, Zhang Song did not wait for Yang Xing to speak, and continued to reprimand Yang Xing.

"Since ancient times, there have only been officials who protect the people, and there has never been an official who coerced others with the lives of the people, and those who threatened others with the lives of innocent people, that is not an official, that is a thief!"

Whether it was the soldiers of Qingsong Valley or the surrounding people, they were deeply persuaded by what Zhang Song said. The surrounding people accused Yang Xing and Wang Jialai one after another.

At this unobtrusive moment, a soldier from Qingsong Valley walked quickly up to Zhang Song from the dirt road to the left of the fortress and whispered a few words to Zhang Song.

When Zhang Song heard this, he was overjoyed: the act of delaying time with Yang Xing should be over.

At that moment, a scream was heard from the gate of the rampart.
