Chapter 490: Words are still in my ears
When Li Wenyun received the order, he immediately commanded his subordinates to step forward, once again lifted Wang Zuohang, Wu Yangui, Hui Dengxiang and several other half-dead thieves, and dragged them to the side of the school field, where a row of gallows had already been erected.
Wang Zuohang and others wanted to scold, but they couldn't open their mouths, they wanted to struggle, but they couldn't move.
I haven't eaten or drunk water for three days, and even if you are an iron-clad man, you will definitely not be able to bear it.
Li Wenyun personally escaped a noose into the neck of Wang Zuohang, the "King of Great Liang," and several officers and non-commissioned officers under the gallows quickly pulled up the rope, and Wang Zuohang was soon hung on the high gallows, and his legs kicked vigorously for a while, and then he stood still.
However, after a quarter of an hour's effort, the "King of Great Liang" Wang Zuohang, the "King of the Whole World" Wu Yangui, the "Big Red Wolf" Du San, the "Heavenly Star" Hui Dengxiang, the "Full Sky Star" Zhang Tianshou, as well as the "A Gust of Wind" Miao Mei and the "Heavenly Dragon" Bai Wenbo, all of whom had been tossed half-dead for a long time, were all hanged on the high gallows.
Under the scorching sun, it hung in a daze, like a dried ham.
Among these hanged people, Hui Dengxiang, the "star of the sky", surrendered to the imperial court in history, but did not fall into the hands of Hong Chengchou, so he was not killed, but was appointed as a military general of the imperial court.
It's just that in this life, he didn't have this opportunity, and Hong Chengchou, who was the main force at this time, was not the Yang He who was the main force in history.
Hong Chengchou didn't give these surrendered thieves a chance at all, no matter whether you really surrendered or not, and whether you were useful or not, as long as it fell into my hands, it would definitely kill you.
This cruel scene not only made Wang Zixing, who was originally kneeling on the ground, tremble and stunned, but also made Zhang Zongheng, the envoy of Shanxi, and Jiao Shengchang, the governor of Xizhou, look at each other and be shocked.
"Hongfuyuan, what does this mean? Lord Fuyuan sent someone to report the news before, didn't he say that Wang Zuojiao and the others had surrendered? ”
Zhang Zongheng saw that when Hong Chengchou accepted the surrender of Wang Ziyong and others, he was full of branches, and just hanged the thief Wang Zuohang and others who surrendered before, and he was full of doubts in his heart, but he thought that these individuals were brought by Hong Chengchou from Ningxiang, and there were some things that he himself might not understand, so how people deal with them is a matter for others.
But seeing Hong Chengchou so hastily put the seven thieves who made his heart beat in the past, and said that he would be hanged, he couldn't help but want to ask the truth in the end.
Since Hong Chengchou treats the thieves who surrendered before, how will he treat the newly surrendered thieves in front of him?
The thief who surrendered in the morning was clicked by Hong Chengchou at noon, can he, the envoy of Shanxi, have some prestige in the future?
After Zhang Zongheng finished asking this, Jiao Shengchang on the other side also said: "Lord Fuyuan, there has been an ominous saying about killing prisoners since ancient times, since killing prisoners is ominous, then killing and surrendering is probably even more ominous. Don't worry about it! ”
Listening to what these two people said, Hong Chengchou stroked the beard two or three inches long on his chin, smiled slightly, and said slowly:
"This official shares the worries of the king, eliminates harm for the people, kills prisoners, kills and surrenders, after all, they are just killing thieves! If there is really something ominous, the official only wishes that Qin and Jin will be equal, and the others are willing to bear it! ”
After Hong Chengchou finished saying this, he looked at Wang Ziyong and the others again, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Wang Ziyong and the others still haven't recovered from what happened suddenly, after all, the "King of the Great Liang" Wang Zuohang and the "King of the Whole World" Wu Yangui are ruthless characters who call themselves brothers and sisters on an equal footing on weekdays, and at this time, they actually let a team of officers and soldiers say that they will be hanged.
In the eyes of Wang Ziyong and others, this scene shocked them unprecedentedly huge, which made him panic even more than when he suddenly heard the death of Wang Jiayin, the king of Hengtian, and Wang Er, the prime minister and military adviser of Zuo.
The cause of death of Wang Jiayin and Wang Er, he has already figured it out, and he was killed by Wang Jiayin's most trusted person.
However, the death of Wang Jiayin and Wang Er, after all, he did not see it with his own eyes, although at first glance it sounded like the world was spinning, but it was not as shocking as what he saw with his own eyes this time.
Wang Ziyong saw the big official in front of him, and between talking and laughing, he asked Wang Zuohang, Wu Yangui, Hui Dengxiang and others to hang, and the civil officials on both sides called him Lord Fuyuan, it seems that this person is not Zhang Zongheng, the Shanxi envoy who wrote a letter to recruit him, but Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, the highest official of the Western Front official army.
Hong Chengchou's name, of course he has also heard of it, if he knew that Zhang Zongheng recruited him and there was a Shaanxi governor Hong Chengchou standing behind him, then he would definitely consider whether to surrender, but now that he has handed over his subordinates, only these right-hand men around him are tied together, kneeling in front of Hong Chengchou, what else can he do?
At this moment, after listening to the conversation of these officials, and seeing Hong Chengchou's unkind gaze, Wang Ziyong immediately kowtowed and said:
"Lord Fuyuan, Lord Hong, my king has surrendered with his iron heart today, loyal to the court, and will never give birth to two hearts in the future, and now the camp, back to the camp, Cao Cao camp and others have not been destroyed, if the court can keep me and wait for a life, my own use and my brothers will definitely go to the soup for the adult, and be willing to die!" Please be gracious! ”
After Wang Ziyong said this, he kowtowed, and several thieves behind him also came back to their senses at this time, and "Xing Red Wolf" even kowtowed and shouted: "Master, please listen to the words of sinners, people can't stand without faith, how can the eldest lord be an official of the court, how can he be untrustworthy, he just promised me to surrender and avoid death, and I can still serve the court, and now the words of surrender are still in my ears, how can I turn around and lose faith in my generation of sinners?!" ”
Xing Zhanao had already scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of these "dog officials" in front of him at this time, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so it was the first time in his life that he said such a thing.
After he finished saying this, the other two leaders "Ground Snatcher" and "Don't Stick the Mud" also shouted: "The old man spares his life!" We're really down! We are still useful, we can also follow the adults to fight Cao Cao, to break into the camp, to fight the old and come back! ”
When the pleas of these people came to an end, Zhang Zongheng said to Hong Chengchou: "If Lord Hong has any ideas, can the lower officials ask the Lord to report to the court before making a decision?" After all, this official wrote a book to recruit these people, if the adults don't recognize it, please also report to the Li Pavilion before dealing with it, okay? This official is not to intercede for these thieves, nor to take care of the official's face, but to maintain the prestige of the court! ”
At this time, Wang Ziyong naturally knew that the person who was speaking at this time was the main one who wrote a book to recruit them, and immediately kowtowed to Zhang Zongheng and begged for mercy: "Lord Zhang spare your life!" We are sincere! Lord Zhang spares his life! ”
Hong Chengchou's face was still gloomy when he heard Zhang Zongheng's words, and at this time, seeing Wang Ziyong and the others making endless noise, he suddenly became angry and said loudly: "Drag them down and shoot them immediately!" ”
The word "shot" is a new word that has recently emerged as a sergeant of Hong Chengchou's army.
Since the musket team under the command of Li Bei and Li Wenyun used muskets to shoot the thieves in the mass grave one by one in the city of Ningxiang, the new word "shooting" has become popular among the troops under the command of Hong Chengchou.
Li Wenyun had just led his men to hang Wang Zuojiao and seven others, and when he heard Hong Chengchou's order at this moment, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the musket team under his command to surround Wang Ziyong and others who were kneeling on the ground in front of a squad of teams.
Wang Ziyong was still looking forward to the last ray of life, and kept shouting: "Lord Zhang spares his life!" Lord Hong spares his life! ”
But the "Xing Red Wolf" and others behind him couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts, and began to scold: "You dog officials who don't believe in your words! Kill Lao Tzu today, and someone will take your dog's head tomorrow! You dog officials who have lost their children and grandchildren! ”
"Ground-grabbing tigers" and "not touching the mud" knew that they could not be spared, and they all opened their mouths and scolded angrily: "Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again!" When the time comes, I will kill all of you dog officials, and make a rebellion against the emperor of the Zhu family! ”
When these people said this, Zhang Zongheng and Jiao Shengchang could no longer persuade Hong Chengchou to spare their lives, and they turned their heads one after another, unwilling to look at it again.
And Li Wenyun looked back and saw Hong Chengchou's gloomy face, and he didn't dare to wait any longer, and with a wave of his hand, a gunshot rang out.
A squad of musketeers, with the muzzle of the gun almost on the chest of Wang Ziyong and others, was naturally accurate by a dozen.
"Bang bang bang" A dense burst of gunfire rang out immediately.
A squad of the musket corps is a squad of ten men at the head of the other battalions.
Therefore, Wang Ziyong and others were shot at least twice, those who were shot in the chest were still rolling and struggling on the ground, and those who were shot in the head were killed on the spot.
Seeing that the musketeers led by Li Wenyun listened to the order to shoot, Hong Chengchou didn't want to look any further, stood up, didn't say a word, turned his head and left the school grounds.
