"Dad, Wang Shoubei clenched his hands, and his words revealed true affection, and the people all felt it, but according to his daughter, Wang Shoubei clenched his teeth, and there should be something that he had not said later."

Hao Sicheng kept nodding, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face changed abruptly, and he said:

"Lingzhi, don't say anything more about this."

Hao Lingzhi smiled behind him and nodded, "Dad, my daughter knows." ”

Hao Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief, after experiencing the chaos at the South Gate, almost all the servants and housekeepers with him were killed by the rebels, Hao Sicheng originally planned to leave, but Hao Lingzhi insisted on refusing.

Since the Ningxia Mutiny in the second year of Chongzhen, all localities have talked about the word rebellion, and none of the people who have been contaminated with these two words have died well.

Wang Zheng had just arrived in office, and such a serious incident as a salary incident occurred the next day, and I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the blame, and it is reasonable to force him to leave.

No one expected that this time the chaos would be sudden, and it would be calmed down even more quickly.

At about two sticks of incense, the Wendeng camp and the salt ding of the inspection department entered the city from each gate, and the division of labor was clear, the Wendeng camp annihilated the people who made trouble in the street market, and the salt ding went deep into the streets and alleys, chasing and intercepting those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

The retreat of the rebels was sealed to death, and in less than an hour, the rebellion was extinguished in an instant.

For the people of the state city, what happened this morning seemed to be a dream, an hour or so, everything had been turned upside down, and almost all the rebels and ruffians who were still running around the state city were passively concentrated in Xishi.

If it weren't for the bloody heads piled up, the corpses all over the ground before they could be cleaned up, and more than 200 rebellious soldiers being guarded by soldiers with serious faces on the high platform, maybe some people really thought that this was just a dream.

Hao Sicheng looked at the person on the high platform, silently lowered his head, Wang Zheng saved his family, and his first reaction was to force him away, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Not long after Hao Lingzhi finished speaking, Wang Zheng, who was standing on the high platform, suddenly became stern and said:

"The army has no orders and is not strict, the city cannot be uneasy, there are actually people in our army who violate the military orders without permission, act rashly, and kill 18 soldiers who have surrendered to chaos, which is a military law, and should be beheaded!"

As soon as the words fell, the people were all talking about it, and there were different opinions, Shao Yong and a few salts escorted a person into the high platform, and the surrounding Wen Dengbing also opened their eyes wide, obviously a little shocked.

The person who was escorted up was the team officer Changyou, and at this moment, the iron armor of the Wendeng battalion officer on Changyou's body had been stripped off, revealing a strong muscle, but there was no trace of remorse in his eyes.

When he walked in front of Wang Zheng, Changyou knelt on the ground without hesitation:

"Humble duty is seen as Shourong."

"Take it down."

Shao Yong sighed, waved away the salt ding, personally escorted Changyou to the ground, opened his mouth, and saw Wang Zheng's solemn expression, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Dong Youyin has been holding back, and when he saw Chang You kneeling on the platform and about to be beheaded, he couldn't help it anymore: "Shou Rong, Shou..."

As soon as he said three words, Huang Yang grabbed him, covered his mouth, shook his head again and again:

"You're crazy, Xietai is angry right now, what's the use of going out now?"

Dong Youyin had great strength, directly broke free from Huang Yang, and roared:

"You Huang Yang are afraid of death, but I'm not afraid, how can the few rebels killed by Changyou to avenge the people be killed directly?"

In a hurry, Huang Yang directly slapped Dong Youyin and shouted:

"Do you think that the adults want to kill Changyou, the military regulations are here, the adults are not killed, and they are not released, aren't you going out at this time to find a problem for the adults, how do you want the adults to explain to you, to kill or not to kill??"

Dong Youyin was poured a basin of cold water on his head, felt that what he said was reasonable, glanced at the stage again, and jumped to his feet in a hurry.

"So... What to do? ”

"Now the closer the person is to the adult, the more he can't show up to plead, you are the closest brother to the adult, and now showing up to intercede is to embarrass the adult and harm the Chang team officer."

Guan Qingtian just heard about this incident, and immediately ran back from home, and when he saw Huang Yang and Dong Youyin pulling each other, he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

After listening to Guan Qingtian's words, Dong Youyin sighed heavily and said:

"Master Guan, you're here, I understand what you said, but, I can't watch a good man like Changyou being beheaded like this!"

Huang Yang said: "Master Guan, see if you can come forward to ask for a favor for Changyou." ”

Guan Qingtian took a few breaths and thought slightly:

"At the moment, it is inconvenient for you or you to come forward, and the only person who can save the Chang team officer is the people who were saved."

Huang Yang suddenly realized, nodded and said:

"That's right! The adults have always attached great importance to the opinions of the people, and if the people pleaded for exoneration, the adults might be lenient, and the lives of the Changyou brothers would be saved. ”

Dong Youyin shouted: "Okay, I'll go and find that person and let him intercede for Changyou!" ”

As he spoke, Dong Youyin walked towards the people with a brisk walk, and Guan Qingtian was thrilled when he saw it, and hurriedly said:

"Officer Huang, hurry up and follow Officer Dong, alas, I'm afraid that he will scare the people so quickly, but I don't dare to intercede for Officer Chang."

Huang Yang also knew Dong Youyin's temper, nodded, and hurriedly went to find Dong Youyin with a few people.

There were more and more people around, and they were all surprised when they saw an officer from the Wendeng battalion holding them above, and they hurriedly inquired about each other.

"Lord Garrison is really strict with military regulations!"

"This is a good deed, why do you want to cut it?"

"What do you know, the soldiers under the command of the king garrison are comparable to the ordinary court officers and soldiers, then the military order is really like a mountain!"

A middle-aged man and a woman, with a young girl, were carrying a stretcher to the outside of the city, wanting to bury the young son killed by the rebels.

"What's going on, what crime has this officer committed?"

An onlooker man glanced at the family and said in surprise:

"You don't know yet? This man violated the military orders of the garrison king, and killed all the rebels who had surrendered, and the garrison king was about to behead him! ”

"What!?"

The middle-aged man almost didn't hold the stretcher in his hand, and the woman was also shocked, and the two of them finally squeezed to the front with great effort.

Changyou knelt on the stage with his head held high, and there was no panic in his voice when the rebels were dying, and he respectfully hugged his fists:

"The humble job was originally a muddy life, and he had no great ambitions, but after following the Xietai, he woke up like a dream, and he knew where the man's ambition was. Those rebellious soldiers are innocent, and they have violated military rules for this, and they know that they have a dead end, and they have only one wish, and they only ask Xietai not to blame their subordinate soldiers."

Wang Zheng choked in his throat, and his expression seemed to be moved, who could bear to kill such an iron-clad man?

But the military order was issued by himself, and some people violated it but were not punished, what is the difference between the military order and a dead letter?

Slowly turning his back, Wang Zheng raised his hand and made a slight move, but didn't say anything.

Chang You burst into tears, buttoned his head again and again, and choked up:

"Bow down and thank you! ... I can no longer fight on the battlefield with Xietai, and I can no longer make contributions with my brothers, hahaha, Changyou went first! ”

The two soldiers of the Wendeng battalion who were executed looked at this scene, and their hearts were like pressing a piece of iron and stone, as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and they couldn't lift the machete in their hands.

However, delay is not the way to do it after all, and the two soldiers of the Wendeng battalion glanced at each other, raised the machete in their hands together, and raised it violently.

At this moment, the three of them crawled to the front, kowtowed again and again:

"I can't do it! I can't help it, my lord, this is our family's savior, you can't kill it!! ”
