Chapter 64: Consequences
"Bring more bows and crossbows, and try to catch them alive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Min didn't force it, it was the right thing to go back in the middle of the night to continue sleeping, and he told him that when the two thousand men and horses had set off, he would cover his head and sleep as soon as he turned around.
It was dawn, Zhang Min stretched his waist up, Chen Zhi and the others had not come back, they were idle and bored to find a short sword, called a few soldiers to help, and spent the morning carving a pair of chess.
"I don't like it, but it's boring!" Zhang Min looked at a pair of chess pieces of different sizes in front of him, looked up at the sun and breathed a sigh, and arranged the chess pieces according to the rules, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time.
"My lord, what is this?" Jia Xu was originally closing his eyes on the side to recuperate, but when he saw Zhang Min wandering all morning, he finally came up with something, and he was probably bored, so he couldn't help but come over and take a look.
"Chess." Zhang Min glanced at Jia Xu, and suddenly understood a little, chess is played by two people, and he can only play with his left hand and right hand, "Wenhe, come and sit opposite, let's play a game." ”
"Foolishness." Jia Xu touched a mustache, sat down opposite unceremoniously, and repeatedly observed the chessboard on the stump, and seemed to see some mysteries, but with his knowledge, he didn't know anything about this thing, and couldn't help frowning, "I've never seen such a chess game before, and I ask the lord to give me advice." ”
Zhang Min said the rules one by one.
"The lord goes first." Jia Xu pondered for a while, probably understood, and stretched out his hand to say the word 'please'.
Xu Huang, who was refining his body not far away, walked over sweating profusely, his bronzed skin was shining in the sun, Zhang Min couldn't help but tilt his head and glance at it, this body is full of masculinity, and it is more than enough to be a bodybuilding coach. sighed in his heart, his hand was not slow, and he had a watch cannon at the beginning.
"Gongming, a true gentleman who doesn't say anything when watching chess, and he is not allowed to speak if he understands it." Zhang Min specially told Xu Huang that he planned to abuse people while Jia Xu's chess skills were still in the embryonic stage, "In addition, you are not allowed to regret chess!" ”
Xu Huang nodded, indicating that he understood. And Jia Xu's movements were very fast, and when he saw Zhang Min move the cannon, he jumped off his horse directly.
Zhang Min is an amateur level, and he only knows how to play chess, tricks and layout skills, that is not at all, occasionally idle and boring when he goes to the website and others a few times, every time he is killed, he is defeated, and now he quickly realized this feeling, after seven or eight rounds, Zhang Min looked at the chessboard, full of pain, the general on his side was about to be trampled by the horse next, and there was nowhere to escape.
"This doesn't count, I don't take this step." Zhang Min returned Jia Xu's chess pieces, "You can't go like this." ”
Jia Xu didn't care, let Zhang Min toss, but Xu Huang grinned on the side, as if he wanted to fight unevenly.
"Gongming, watch the chess without saying a word!" Zhang Min's face was not red, and he directly blocked him back.
Repeating and repeating, Zhang Min finally found that no matter how he struggled, it was in vain, no matter where he went, he would inevitably fall into the pit after two or three steps.
"I throw in the towel." Zhang Min glared at Jia Xu, who was silent, and saw that Xu Huang seemed to be interested in having a plate next to him, "Gongming, do you understand?" Or let's have a plate. ”
Xu Huang nodded, and Jia Xu got up to give up his seat.
Then an embarrassing scene appeared, Zhang Min was stunned and watched Xu Huang directly hit the hard, one for one sacrifice.
"Dude, you can't do this, you're done with this, how can you get down?" Zhang Min looked at the sparse chessboard, glared at Xu Huang and was very dissatisfied, he still had three soldiers and one commander left, but there was only one pawn and one general left on his side, and he was obviously going to lose again.
"Then do it all over again." Xu Huang laughed, feeling a little interesting, and the two rearranged the chess game. …,
Another three or five minutes later.
"Wenhe, how should I go this time?" Zhang Min looked at the criss-crossing layout on the chessboard, a little dizzy, as if every chess piece was entangled, no matter how he went, he would be killed one, helplessly, he actually began to pull helpers.
Xu Huang and Jia Xu glanced at each other and remained silent.
"I am the lord, and I have the right to ask for help from the counselor!" Zhang Min was cheeky, "Wenhe, you come to help me with the staff!" ”
"Lord, take a step back." Jia Xu was helpless and pointed out.
Zhang Min looked back and pondered, if this was the case, he quickly pulled back the cannon that had walked out in the previous step. After taking one step at a time, he finally took Xu Huang down, and couldn't help laughing, "Gongming, look, it's not my opponent, haha!" ”
Xu Huang said twice, non-committed. Zhang Min was proud, and finally felt that it was a little too much, and stood up, "Wenhe, you sit, you two come to a game, I will watch from the side, and promise not to speak." ”
After all, this is not a victory! Gai Ming'er got the mahjong out, Zhang Min pinched his fists, we are not good at chess, this mahjong is skillful, but I just thought about it left and right and pressed this idea temporarily.
It was not until the afternoon that when Zhang Min was a little impatient, Guan Hai and his party finally returned, mixed with seven or eight hundred uneasy people, as well as children, women and children.
"Please spare your life!" A wolf howled, and a person rushed straight to Zhang Min, as if he wanted to come over and kneel, but was kicked to the ground by Guan Hai, Zhang Min looked at it, it was familiar, it should be that Rong.
"Where's the grain and grass?" Zhang Min looked at him, eager to make up for it, he hadn't had this impulse for a long time.
"Champion Hou Mingjian, he really hasn't touched the grain and grass in his humble position!" Zhen Rong howled twice, but he was full of anger, he didn't dare to admit this, although Zhang Min never took the initiative to kill anyone in Xuzhou, but everything always has a beginning.
"Pull all his sons out of me!" Zhang Min was too lazy to talk nonsense.
More than a dozen and a half big babies were escorted over, this person has a lot of sons, Zhang Min's face is very ugly, and he saw twenty or thirty women in the middle of the crowd crying heartbreakingly, desperately shouting something, 'Don't hurt my son!' 'Something like that, it seems that they are all the wives and concubines of this Zhenrong, fuck it, one person has married more than 30 wives, we are still singles!
Zhang Min's face became more and more ugly. When he was directly appointed to the official position, he didn't think about it, and when he cleaned it up, he didn't find out about this person, and it is estimated that no one dared to report him, after all, he personally nominated him to come to Tancheng to take office.
"Pull these women out of me." Zhang Min was a little upset by crying, we don't look fierce, and we can't compare to the face of a devil, so we need to cry so miserably?
"Bring the knife!" As soon as Zhang Min stretched out his hand, Danyang Bing handed over a knife from behind him.
"To say or not to say?" Zhang Min held the knife in one hand and thrust it into the ground, squatted down, and looked at Zhen Rong coldly.
"I don't know where!" Zhen Rong said goodbye, this look was about to die and not admit it.
"What a tough guy!" Zhang Min didn't talk nonsense, he stood up with a knife, and the group of women in front of him hugged each other and cried even more fiercely, "If any of you know to stand up, it's okay to have a clue, as long as you find it, you can live, if you can't find it!" Zhang Min accentuated his tone, "We didn't have anything to eat, so we had to dismantle you people and stew them, so it's two taels of meat!" ”
"Lord Lieutenant spare his life!" Two men stood out from the crowd, it was Zhang Guan and Li Dai.
"Come here." Zhang Min beckoned, and Guan Hai let people over, "Did you steal the grain and grass?" ”
Zhang Guan knelt on the ground, "We transported it!" I'm willing to tell me where the grain is hidden, and I just hope that Lord Du Wei will surround me with my life again. After speaking, he kowtowed to Li Dai and the others.
"Get up and speak." Zhang Min looked back at the pale face of Zhen Rong, and said skillfully: "Changwen, embezzling public property, and running away with money, knowing the law and breaking the law, what crime should I be guilty of?" ”…,
After speaking, he reacted, Chen Qun and Tai Shici, the two humming generals, did not bring them with them, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"My lord, the law should destroy the three tribes." Jia Xu answered quietly. On the ground, he stared at Zhang Guan and Li Dai, looking at the posture, he couldn't wait to jump up and eat the two alive.
"Send the women to the women's mulberry garden, and the men to the official field." Zhang Min looked at Guan Hai, "Tell the people over there, if these things can't learn to weave and farm, they will be solved with a knife and buried in the ground as fertilizer!" If he tries to escape, run one of them, and even sit, and the others will die! ”
Zhang Min was rarely angry, and he could say the words 'even sitting', that was a full 50,000 stone of grain, and all the official fields in Xuzhou had so much income in a year! If the grain is lost, it can only reach out to the people or copy the remaining two families.
"Lord Captain!" Zhang Guan looked at Zhang Min with blank eyes.
"You don't have to farm." Zhang Min calmed down a little, "General Guan, you take someone with him to see where the grain is hidden, count me how much I lost, and let Zhenrong harvest two stones for me to offset the account, this life is not over, and my descendants will continue to farm for me!" ”
Zhang Min said as he spoke, a large group of wives and concubines and children appeared in his eyes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, if they didn't lose much rice and grain, they would have one piece of land per person, so many families, at most three or two years to top this vacancy, this is not good! ruthless, "According to the standard of 50,000 stones, when you give me all 50,000 stones, you will become a free body, otherwise my children and grandchildren will give me farm!" ”。
Zhenrong, who was originally a little happy, saw a dark eye, and a group of women and children who had stopped crying were crying again.
"General, I was forced by him to be his wife and concubine as a last resort, I hope the general is pitiful!" A woman was clever and saw that Zhang Min was soft-hearted, and she made a fuss when she cried.
"Whoever else was forced by him to stand up!" Zhang Min touched his head and had a headache.
"Me too, me too." One by one, they all stood up, and in the end, there was no one left in the same place, not only Zhang Min, but even Zhenrong's own eyes were straight, his mouth opened and opened, and his face was full of horizontal color, which slowly became dull.
"Cheng, from now on, you will no longer be Zhenrong's wife and concubine, but all your property, including the headdress, bracelets, earrings, etc., must be contributed." Zhang Min spread his hands, "You either go back to your parents' house cleanly, or you go to the women's mulberry garden to do something to support yourself, but now you are free, no one will embarrass you wherever you go, you can get as much as you can get paid for your ability, do well, you can save some money, occasionally go home to see your parents, and buy them some gifts." ”
"General, we are willing to go to the Mulberry Garden." Most women have chosen this path, at this time the status of women is a little strange, said that it is not high, it is not low, but there is one point, after getting married, it is not necessary to go back to her parents' house during the New Year's holidays, for fear of provoking criticism. Then the husband died, but he didn't have to be a widow, he could remarry on his own, and no one said no.
"Okay, I'll take off everything on my body later, and then you can go, where you love." The grain and grass have been settled, and Zhang Min is in a slightly better mood.
Some of the women left one after another, and some remained in place, Zhang Minzheng was a little strange, and a bold one finally said: "General, what should my son do?" ”
Zhang Min turned his head and looked at the dozen or so babies over there, the big ones were holding the small ones in a group, all of them looked at the big knife in their hands with panicked faces, and the father and son paid their debts, it seemed that there was such a saying.
Zhen Rong suddenly crawled over and kowtowed again and again, "I was confused for a while, I was afraid that my family property would be confiscated, and I was not greedy enough, so I did such a thing, and now I just want to die!" I also hope that the champion Hou will forgive me these unworthy sons. ”…,
"Those of you who are mothers, each of you will take your children with you, and the rest will be sent to the academy as a scholar and give a helping hand to professors and doctors." Seeing that Zhen Rong's head was broken, Zhang Min finally couldn't bear it. Tiger poison does not eat children, this Rong is still a person.
"Thank you, General!" After Zhen Rong finished shouting, he suddenly grabbed the big knife in Zhang Min's hand and cut his neck!
"I'll rub!" Zhang Min grabbed the big knife and kicked the person aside, "You are dead, who will pay the debt you owe me!" ”
Zhen Rong was stunned for a moment, "The sinner still has some family wealth, and he is willing to contribute it." ”
Zhang Min was speechless, he had to copy his house when he turned around, the family wealth was not his own, how could he use who to donate it! I didn't say this in my mouth.
"Only I know where these belongings are hidden." Zhen Rong seems to understand people's minds.
"Cheng, I'll give you a conversion, how much wealth you contribute, I will exempt you from the same price of grain, if your private wealth can buy 50,000 stone of grain, then congratulations, you are free." Zhang Min pondered, but he didn't cause any deaths, and he was a little moved by these belongings, "Uncle Zhi, you follow him to find it." ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, he stepped forward and lifted Zhen Rong into his hand and said, "Lead the way!" The two quickly walked away.
"You're all left." Zhang Min looked at these so-called diners, "I was going to be executed, but since I have a lot of strength, I can't waste it, so I will follow me in the future, and when my soldiers go to the battlefield to fight, I stand up and go home honestly to farm!" ”
Five or six hundred people leaned down together, shouting in a mess that they would like to follow.
