Chapter 275: Repentance
"Do you want to go home?" Zhao Gou said with a smile.
The young man replied urgently, "Yes! ”
Zhao Gou smiled softly, he knew that his goal had been achieved; Looking at the young man's eagerness, Zhao Gou was determined to send them back. The other teenagers heard Zhao Gou's firm answer, the fear in their eyes dissipated a lot, and their eager eyes looked at Zhao Gou in a daze, the meaning was obvious.
"Can you really send us home?"
Everyone asked in agreement, Zhao Gou still nodded with a smile, and replied firmly: "As long as you want to go back!" ”
Zhao Gou's words inspired their hearts, and the fear gradually dissipated, and the longing for home continued unabated, and they replied in unison: "I want to go home!" ”
Looking at the eager eyes of this group of teenagers, Zhao Gou knew it. If it weren't for the fact that the young man dared to express his true thoughts in his heart and became the first of everyone to stand up and resist the fear in his heart, he was afraid that Zhao Gou would come this time to take personal stolen goods and get the crime of trespassing on the house.
"Now I ask you, is it true that he said that you were all sold to him by your parents?" Zhao Gou asked softly with a pleasant face.
Everyone quickly shook their heads and replied, "No! ”
"Why didn't you dare say it before? You know you almost can't go back! Zhao Gou said bitterly.
Everyone lowered their heads in shame, glanced at Li Bangyan timidly, and replied tremblingly: "I thought you were in a group with him, and that man was not a good person, so he whipped us with a horseskin whip." If I say it, I am afraid that I will be beaten again, and some people have already been beaten by them because they said that they wanted to go home, and finally vomited blood and died. ”
Zhao Gou suddenly jumped up when he heard the anger, glared angrily at Li Bangyan and the others, turned around and pointed at them and said, "Do you remember who did it? The eyes of the people were a little frightened, and they did not dare to speak, and he continued: "Don't be afraid, they can't help you with me here, and you boldly say who it is!" ”
Since Zhao Gou sent them home, everyone obeyed Zhao Gou's words, and once again mustered up the courage to point out the three people, especially one of them punched and kicked them, and directly beat them with an iron rod, as if it was a punishment.
The three men fell to their knees trembling and frightened, unable to move; When he heard everyone pointing out the three of them, he saw the murderous aura in Zhao Gou's eyes, and he was shocked, and he softened directly, and his butt was so frightened that his butt urinated. They have heard of Zhao Gou's methods, this is a master who has really been on the battlefield, and he is also a prince, and he has the power of life and death in his hands, so he can not be afraid.
Zhao Gou's eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted murderously: "Come on, drag them out and beat them to death directly with sticks!" Remember not to let them die too quickly, let them clearly feel the feeling of death coming; Drag me out! ”
The three of them fainted after hearing Zhao Gou's words, and they directly forgot to beg for mercy, and were dragged out by the Royal Forest Army. Li Bangyan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, he also knew that Zhao Gou was targeting him this time, but he didn't want to come so quickly, and he couldn't protect it and couldn't dissuade it, so he had to endure it.
"Ahh …… Spare your life! …… My lord! ……”
A moment later, there was a heart-rending cry for mercy from outside the house; The Imperial Forest Army is also an ordinary person, even if they are the people in charge of the emperor's safety in the palace, they are just ordinary people. Moreover, some of the people in the Royal Forest Army have already married families, and seeing these teenagers being treated so inhumanely, they are filled with anger in their hearts.
Zhao Gou's order is one thing, the impact in his heart is the key, he will fight to the death, which means is the most miserable, and he will not be soft on this group of people who have lost their conscience. If you empathize, how painful it is for your children to suffer such treatment, if you don't endure it all the time, you are afraid that they will really kill them all.
The teenagers were shocked, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to really say and do, and the trust in him in his heart increased a lot. Then, what Zhao Gou asked, what they answered, including the names of their parents and where they lived, all said.
They all answered first, for fear of falling behind, and they were much more enthusiastic than before. Xu Jingheng and the others were stunned and admired. The originally passive situation became active again, but they always felt a little awkward talking to these teenagers when they looked at Zhao Gou as if they were little adults, and anyway, Zhao Gou's age was not much different from them.
One family rejoices and one sorrows!
Xu Jingheng and the others were excited, but Li Bangyan was crying and frightened. Before, Zhao Gou didn't ask the reason, and he didn't care about his face, and directly pulled his people out and beat them to death, and the Royal Forest Army soon came to restore his life; Li Bangyan realized that Zhao Gou also had absolute prestige in the Imperial Forest Army, and he was decisive and never ambiguous.
At the same time, Li Bangyan was terrified, and he felt that death was getting closer and closer to him. Even if Li Bangyan is the chief eunuch and is very respectful to any official when he meets him, he doesn't want Zhao Gou to give him no face at all, so he directly let him lose face and do something in his mansion, which means that Zhao Gou really decided to put him to death.
At this moment, Li Bangyan felt scared for the first time, even if the emperor made a mistake, there was a way to save the day; Now there is nothing to say, and it has become a fish on the chopping board for Zhao Gou to slaughter. At this time, Li Bangyan raised his head and stared at Zhao Gou intently, and then compared with the crown prince Zhao Huan in his heart, he was also a prince but had a very different style, he knew that Zhao Gou was far better than Zhao Huan, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, he regretted it, and lost the opportunity, so he couldn't do it again and had to obey.
"Gonggong Li, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Gou shouted.
Li Bangyan knew that he would not escape death, and he had to make a final struggle, and replied loudly: "How can this group of young people believe it? It's not that Lord Yushi thinks that the words of these young men alone can convict the slaves, but I'm afraid it's a little hasty! ”
"Incorrigible!" Zhao Gou sneered and shouted: "Come on, find their parents with the names and residences they mentioned before, and send someone to escort them into the palace as soon as they find them, and then you will have nothing to hide from how you quibble." ”
Suddenly, Li Bangyan was speechless, he knew that if he really confronted him, he was afraid that those people didn't even know who he was, not to mention his identity. After all, these children were taken captive by his people, and several more lives were killed, so that their crimes were made public.
He knew that he had no way out, that there was nothing to do, that everything was already a certainty; Li Bangyan regretted not being at the beginning, if he had followed the advice of the prince Zhao Huan to be low-key, he would not have ended up today, let alone be caught by Zhao Gou, and everyone would have been stolen, everything would be over!
Zhao Gou had a cold face, and he wanted to kill him directly, he had the power to cut first and then play. It's just that Zhao Gou felt that he really killed him with a knife, and he couldn't deter Gao Yu and others, so this time he used Li Bangyan's death to officially declare war. Even if everyone thinks he's for the throne, so what, as long as you have a clear conscience!
