Chapter 41: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

The tall and burly Mucha approached the burial pit with the sack on his shoulders and threw it heavily on the ground, and the people inside let out a dull whimper of pain, as if they were gagged.

Wu Changjing was ordered to step forward and untie the rope of the sack, revealing the people inside.

Cheng Weng was holding a dove cane, and when he got closer, he was shocked inexplicably, and his nephew Uncle Cheng also subconsciously bit his cuffs, so as not to scream out out of his temper.

The person inside is not the maid and the boy who escaped yesterday, but a noble young man! The crown of skin on his head was crooked to the side, his angry face showed a sickly green, and his mouth was stuffed with a ball of tattered cloth, which was tied up with hemp rope, but his eyes were still round, and he glared angrily.

If it's not his youngest son Cheng Ji, who hasn't returned yet, who else could it be!?

"Jun ...... What does this mean, gentleman? The evil tiger still has the feeling of licking his son, and Cheng Weng was distressed when he saw his son become like this.

Zhao Wuxian asked Wu Changjing to remove the rag cloth that plugged Cheng Ji's mouth, but seeing that Cheng Ji was still unconvinced, he stared at Wu Xian and scolded: "Vertical! Hurry up and let go of Naigong! ”

He spat again, but unfortunately he was still a few feet away from the shirtless.

Zhao Wuxian spread his hands towards Cheng Weng: "You see, your son is really amazing, he dares to scold the master of the Zhao family in public." ”

He walked around Cheng Ji, making him twist his head and twist his neck cramps, and then stomped to Cheng Weng and asked: "Cheng Weng, I have always had a question that I can't figure out, Zhou Lizhong said that burial with people hurts heaven and harmony, you are a doctor and a person who knows poetry and books, why do you have to kill the living to bury the dead?" ”

"This ......" Cheng Weng was concerned and confused, he had been stunned by the sudden change in front of him, he didn't know Zhao Wuxian's true purpose, and he couldn't speak for a while.

That Cheng Ji's mouth was not idle, he was pressed by Mu Xia, Jing, etc., and he continued to struggle and scolded: "My uncle died of illness, and he had a last word before he died, to be buried with a concubine and a child, so that he could go to Jiuyou to take care of his life, this is our family matter, and it is very important for you Zhao family!" ”

"Your uncle's favorite concubine and child during his lifetime?"

"Yes!"

Wuxian smiled: "No, I heard Chengwu say that at home, you are the closest to the dead uncle." I'm afraid he can't do without you after he dies, isn't it more suitable for you to serve him than the concubine and the little slave? Since your uncle and nephew are so affectionate, how can his old man be under Jiuquan, how can he be without your company? Well, I will fulfill your filial piety. ”

Cheng Ji is poor in words, and after thinking about it carefully, he actually thinks it's quite right, and he can't say anything to refute it.

Zhao Wuxian's face changed, and he shouted: "The dead are big, and they will be buried in three days, why hasn't this burial pit been filled yet!" Quickly take the season as a martyr, give me a pit! ”

Everyone was shocked, Cheng Weng once again trembled and knelt majestically on the thorny hill, and the clansmen behind him also begged for mercy.

Wuxian ignored them, only watching Mucha push Cheng Ji into the deep pit, while the Zhao soldiers picked up the ready-made copper shovels on the side and kept shoveling soil into the pit.

Cheng Ji's nerves have even admired Zhao Wuxian, he kept dodging the falling earth and rocks at the bottom of the pit, and scolded "Naigong", "Er's mother and maid", "cheap concubine" and other foul language, the loyal and unsympathetic Wu Commanders showed dissatisfaction, and asked if they wanted to cut off this guy's tongue first.

However, compared to the developed national scolding in later generations, these are simply drizzle, Zhao Wuxian is indifferent, and he doesn't want to deal with a dying person. He silently watched Cheng Ji gradually covered in mud, first two legs, then waist, and finally chest and high outstretched hands, so that Cheng Ji had no strength to scream and scold, and could only breathe desperately.

Eventually, all he was left with a bun head still exposed on the ground, his mouth and nose covered in mud, and his crown of leather had long since disappeared.

Now Zhao Wuxian only needs to go over and shovel a pinch of dirt to completely cover up this person!

The people of the Cheng clan understood what was going to happen, and they had already cried. In the case that more than 200 young Zhuang people did not return, the dozens of Zhao soldiers brought in by Zhao Wuxian turned out to be an overwhelming force here, even if they had the intention of risking their lives to save people, they did not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Wuxian looked up at the miserable white moon that was gradually covered by dark clouds, and recited a poem taught to him by the musician: "Surrender to the yellow bird, stop at the mulberry." Who from Mu Gong? The car is in the middle of the line. Maintain this mid-line, the defense of the hundreds. In its hole, I am worried! ”

More than 100 years ago, Qin Mugong, who claimed to dominate Xirong, was buried with three good doctors of the Ziche clan when he died, and the Qin people were very dissatisfied and saddened by this, so they wrote this poem "Yellow Bird" to mourn and condemn Mu Gong's remnant behavior.

The current political critic Kong Qiu's evaluation of this incident is: Qin Mugong's move did not set an example for future generations, but instead killed outstanding people as martyrs. The gentlemen knew because of this that the Qin State could no longer conquer to the east!

It is true that after Mu Gong, in addition to marrying with the Chu State, the Qin State was beaten by the Zhuxia overlord Jin State with a group of younger brothers from time to time, and basically no longer participated in the princes' alliance. Qin became an otaku in Guanzhong, and one house was two hundred years, until the middle of the Warring States period, when he suddenly discovered that he had been regarded as a backward Rong Di by the Zhuxia country.

Zhao Wuxian pointed to Cheng Ji, who only had one head exposed, and said to everyone: "How trembling and scared the mourners are when they go through their caves. Cheng Weng, can you feel their pain and fear at this moment? Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you! ”

In addition to Cheng He, Cheng Weng spoiled this little son Cheng Ji who had no heart the most, and when he saw that he was going to be buried alive, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and suddenly revealed his true feelings, and nodded indiscriminately with tears in his eyes: "The old man understands, understands, beg the gentleman to let go of my family Aji!" ”

"Why should I let him go? For what reason to let him go! The third elder of the township, you come to tell Cheng Weng what sins Cheng Ji committed today! ”

Cheng Wu easily waited for his chance to appear, he stood in front of Cheng Weng with a big stab, and told him the charges that he had already recited several times:

"One is to gather two hundred people and wantonly attack Sangli. Even the lord only has the authority to call on a pawn, and he has been relieved of his position as a township commander in Cheng Ji, where does he have the authority to do this? ”

"Second, in front of everyone, he drew his sword against the lord, intending to assassinate the lord, and committed the great disrespect of conspiring against the Zhao gentleman!"

"The two crimes are one, according to the Zhao family law, they should be punished! The Lord should have dragged him to the lower palace and beheaded him in the bazaar, but now let him go to the funeral of his relatives and friends, and die at home, which is already benevolent and righteous! Patriarch, be content! ”

In the face of Cheng Wu's sneer, Cheng Weng turned a blind eye, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth, wiped his nose and tears, and said to Wuxian: "I beg the gentleman to forgive Ah Ji, I will be a gentleman from now on, and from now on, I wish only the gentleman to be the first to look forward!" ”

Zhao Wuxian closed his eyes, this statement was still not enough, he said lightly: "If Cheng Weng wants me to spare his life, it's not impossible, but Cheng must fulfill all my requirements, you, can you do it?"

Cheng Weng hurriedly agreed, thinking that it was important to save his son's life first.

But then, when Zhao Wuxian said every request, his heart sank a little.

This is to draw the bottom of the Cheng family's kettle!

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and the second is after 14 o'clock
