The door of the middle house with two big red door paintings "creaked" open, and out of it came a burly man, with a purple face, and a beard.

The big man wore a brass beast helmet on his head, and the bright red helmet was fluttering in the air like a flame, and a serial big armor and a red robe showed his status as a general.

As soon as Shangguanzheng came out, the crowd that was chirping just now suddenly quieted down, Jinyang has always been the capital of the state, and the people here all recognize the armor of the general, like the big armor and general robe of Shangguanzheng, even the brigade commander and deputy general are not qualified to wear it, only the military generals above the fourth grade of the assassin level are qualified to wear it like this.

Shangguan Zheng walked outside the courtyard, his brass bell-like eyes bulged out of his sockets fiercely, which was particularly terrifying, and with his purple face and beard, he was three points like the Yama of Nadifu.

Shangguan Zheng majestically glanced at the crowd outside the door, and Yang Xuangan hurriedly lowered his head and avoided it when his gaze was about to sweep.

I only heard the official government "snort" heavily, and said: "You Diao people, who were originally attached to the rebel and thief Yang Liang, should all be filled with the army!" The emperor has the virtue of a good life, forgives your sins, and hopes that you can change your ways. As a result, instead of being grateful, you are still gathering people here to make trouble, hindering the general from carrying out his official duties, are you trying to rebel? ”

Shangguanzheng's voice was already loud and full of energy, and when he said the last few words, it was even more pronounced with the breath of dantian, raising the volume and making people's ears buzz.

And the guards at the door, too, understood it, and pulled half of their sabers out of their scabbards at the right time. There was a small exclamation in the crowd. Then fell into a deathly silence.

An old voice sounded in the crowd: "The small one is the local Fangzheng." This Yuan family belongs to the jurisdiction of the small, so many neighbors are good citizens of Jinyang, gathered here just out of concern for the neighbors, the small dare to ask the general, what are you doing here? ”

Shangguan Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Who was talking just now? Stand up and answer!"

The crowd spontaneously parted a road, and an old man in cloth about sixty years old, with gray hair and a weather-covered face, leaned on his back. Standing on a cane, he walked out tremblingly, and the crowd shouted one after another: "Fubo, take care." ”

Fu Bo wore a blue round-necked silk shirt that he was wearing, walked to Shangguanzheng, saluted, and said: "The little one is Li Houfu, who has seen the general, and dares to ask the general's surname, what are you doing here?" ”

Shangguan Zheng laughed. Said: "This general is the official government of Cizhou Assassin History, and he was ordered by Marshal Yang of the rebel army. Come here to raid the home of the rebellious party, Li Houfu, you are the right person in this fang, you should know that this is a rebellious party and anti-thief. ”

Fu Bo nodded and said, "The neighbors all know that the eldest son of this family, Yuan Wuguang, followed the rebel general Su Liang as a clerk when Yang Liang rebelled. ”

Shangguan Zheng said sharply: "Since you know that this family is a thief, why do you prevent General Ben from investigating the case?" Just now, General Ben heard someone shouting about the royal law, it was a joke, didn't the royal law of this dynasty stipulate that the anti-thief family needs to copy the book? ”

Fu Bo had a smile on his face, and his tone was very humble: "Of course, the little one didn't dare to interfere with the general's official business, but he heard that the Lu clan had been screaming, so he came over to take a look." They are all neighbors, and she is a widow, so she should take care of each other. ”

Shangguan Zheng's nose spewed out a heavy breath, and his voice was raised a little: "That Yuan Wuguang is a confidential document of the rebel general Su Liang, who has mastered the important secrets of the rebels, and there are also rebel stolen goods at home, which are handed over to his mother Lu for safekeeping. ”

"General Ben first interrogated Yuan Wuguang and learned about it, so he came here to interrogate the Lu clan, but this thief woman denied it in every possible way, and Ben will be punished according to the law, is there any problem?"

The thin black boy sitting at the door of the room on the right suddenly bounced up from the ground and roared: "He lied, he wanted to bully his mother, don't believe this brute!" ”

The soldier guarding the door on the right hurriedly raised his hand, and the hilt of the knife slammed into the back of his neck, and the boy fainted and collapsed to the ground.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone was whispering about what the young man had just said, and the eyes of the officials were no longer the awe they had just now, but full of contempt and disdain.

Shangguan Zheng's eyes rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "This little beast is also a member of the anti-thief, when he interrogated his mother just now, this little beast still resisted desperately, and then he was tied up by us. ”

Some of the people on the periphery of the crowd who were watching the excitement were so frightened that they quickly turned around and left, but most of them were as if they had roots under their feet, motionless, looking at Shangguanzheng's eyes full of disbelief.

Fu Bo coughed dryly and said, "General Shangguan, the little courage to ask the general to bring the prisoner out for everyone to meet, if it is indeed a normal interrogation, we will never dare to interfere with the official affairs of the imperial court, and we should disperse." ”

Shangguan Zheng was furious, his purple face was red with anger, and he shouted: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" You people dare to blackmail General Ben, and the interrogation wheel of General Ben will be criticized by you? What if you don't let you see the prisoner?! ”

The crowd fell silent again, but unlike the last time, when no one dared to speak out for fear of going to the government, this silence was like a volcano that was temporarily calm, and it would explode completely at the first opportunity.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the market, "click, click", obviously the sound of military boots hitting the ground, with a "clanging" sound of the impact of armor blades, from far to near, Yang Xuangan stood on tiptoe and turned his head to look at the rear.

I saw hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, under the command of a brigade commander about 30 years old on a tall horse, rushing towards this courtyard.

There was another small commotion in the crowd, and the expression on Shangguan Zheng's face was obviously soothed, and even a hint of a smile flashed.

The sergeants ran to the back of the crowd, and the brigade commander on horseback pulled his mount. Stop where you are. He shouted majestically: "Don't you know that Marshal Yang has issued a ban on gathering in the city? Why don't you disperse quickly?!"

Shangguan Zheng glanced at the brigade marshal. shouted from afar: "The person who came is Brigade Marshal Pei under the command of General Yang in the Xiaoguo Army?" ”

Yang Xuangan recognized this person, this brigade marshal surnamed Pei, named Pei Qiantong, was born in a tributary of the Pei family in Hedong, but moved to Daxing City for generations. Pei Qiantong has been protected by his father's merits since he was a child, and entered the East Palace to serve as the prince's personal guard, and after Yang Yong fell, he turned to serve Yang Guang.

Because of its tall people, it is big. Dignified appearance, and good at catering to the boss, was appreciated by Yang Guang, before this expedition was awarded the official position of a school inspector and captain, served as a brigade commander in the Xiaoguo Army, and was in charge of three teams with a total of more than 1,000 horsemen.

This time, the patrol and military discipline in Jinyang City were maintained by the Xiaoguo army, because the various armies in Guanzhong were not subordinate to each other, and this time they won the battle, one by one, and only the Xiaoguo army belonging to the personal guard of the Son of Heaven could suppress these soldiers.

Yang Xuangan has been busy with Wang Qi's affairs for the past two days. It is also necessary to observe the situation in Jinyang, so these matters are entrusted to Xiong Kuohai. Xiong Kuohai also assigned the patrol work in the city to the commanders of each brigade, and led the soldiers of his subordinate to patrol on foot.

Pei Qiantong happened to be on duty today, and when he arrived here, he saw that there were thousands of people in front of him, and there seemed to be thousands of people gathered, so he immediately led his soldiers to run over.

Pei Qiantong carefully looked at Shangguan Zheng at the gate of the courtyard, hurriedly dismounted, and saluted across the crowd: "The last general, Pei Qiantong, has seen General Shangguan." ”

Shangguan Zheng laughed, and his voice revealed a little smugness: "Lvshuai Pei, you came just in time, these Diao people dare to disobey Marshal Yang's military orders, gather people here to make trouble, besiege and threaten General Ben who is performing official duties here, with the intention of rebellion!" Please take down all these Diao people and bring them back for investigation as soon as possible, this general believes that there must be fish in this who have slipped through the net of Yang Liang's traitorous party!"

After Pei Qiantong heard this, he no longer had any doubts, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "All the troops listen to the order, surround the chaotic party here, take all of them, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

The sergeants unsheathed their swords, wound their bows, pointed their spears forward, and the soldiers in the first row set up their shields to form a shield wall, forming a battle formation, and intimidating the gathered people.

Yang Xuan sensed that the situation was wrong, cleared his throat, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard behind him, and turned his head to look, but it was a woman with a disheveled head, disheveled, and a face full of burns struggling to crawl out of the house, like a zombie.

The woman leaned weakly against the door of the middle house, her face was full of blood bubbles, but her eyes were bloodshot, with endless hatred, staring at the official.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, even Yang Xuangan, a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years and had seen countless corpses, had never seen such a tragic scene, and his face couldn't help but change.

A high-pitched woman's voice rang out: "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Lu?" ”

Many onlookers didn't care about the soldiers with knives and guns behind them at this time, and they all turned their heads to look at the woman in the courtyard.

I saw that her face was covered with blood, the cracks in the torn shirt were exposed, the entire blouse was almost torn, and the hem of a cloth skirt on the lower body was also torn apart, but the upper end of the skirt was intact.

This scene, at first glance, is the result of this woman facing rape, preferring to die and resisting desperately.

The knocked out young man on the ground seemed to have a heart for the woman, and at this time he woke up leisurely, and when he saw her like this, he suddenly burst into tears, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Mother!", and jumped up from the ground and pounced.

And the two little girls in the room on the right also struggled to push away the soldier who was piled up at the door and ran to the woman's side.

The woman hugged her children all at once, crying so much that even the several guards around Shangguan Zheng couldn't bear to hear it, and hung down the steel knife in front of her.

Shangguan Zheng shouted: "This damn prisoner woman tore her clothes by herself and tried to slander the official, hmph, if the official wants to play with her, will he still make her face?" ”

The woman collapsed to the ground weakly, but after hearing this, her eyes widened, and out of nowhere, she suddenly stood up from the ground, pushed away the children around her, raised her hand and pointed at Shangguan Zheng and scolded: "Shangguan Zheng, you beast, trying to commit adultery in the name of raiding your home, I would rather die than obey, you will burn my face with a candle." It's really not as good as a pig and a dog!"

The woman turned to the people outside the courtyard. cried: "Ladies and gentlemen. What the neighbors and the people said is true! This official and politician will be punished by God, the little woman is so humiliated today, and she has no shame to live in the world, please witness today's events, and a few children will be bothered to take care of the neighbors!"

She just finished speaking. Before everyone could react, they slammed into the outer wall of the house on the right, and suddenly their brains burst out, and the fragrance disappeared, while several children let out a terrible scream and threw themselves on their mother, crying and crying.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, followed by a roar of rage: "Kill this beast, kill this beast." "At first it was just two or three people shouting, and soon hundreds of people were shouting loudly. It was so loud that it seemed to tear down the walls of the courtyard.

Shangguan Zheng was also frightened by the behavior of this Lu family lady at first, but in the blink of an eye, he regained his usual ferocity and domineering. He shouted: "It's the opposite, in broad daylight, you fellow party of Yang Liang dare to rebel blatantly, Lao Tzu wants to see which one dares to touch the general." Pei Qiantong, what are you waiting for, don't you hurry up and ......'

Before Shangguan Zheng finished speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face with a thunderous momentum, and this punch directly opened Shangguanzheng's face, and even the people flew backwards four or five steps before they fell heavily on the ground with their buttocks backwards and falling sand and geese.

A voice with endless killing intent in the coldness sounded: "Lao Tzu moved you, what? ”

Several guards around Shangguan Zheng immediately drew their knives and slashed at the comer, but they were all knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks, two people broke their ribs, and the other person directly kicked and broke his leg, threw away the knife in his hand in pain, and rolled all over the ground.

Pei Qiantong, who couldn't see it really through the crowd, only saw someone fighting the official government from a distance, and suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Hurry up and save General Shangguan and arrest the thief." ”

A cold voice with three points of majesty came from behind the crowd: "Pei Qiantong, you are so bold, Xiaoguo's face has been lost to you, don't you get out of here!" ”

Pei Qiantong heard the master of this voice clearly this time, and was so frightened that the three souls flew off two souls, and hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said again and again: "I don't know that Yang Zhuguo is here, it's a capital crime!" Capital crime! ”

From the dust raised by the short and fierce fight in front of the courtyard gate, a tall figure like an iron tower appeared, more than eight feet, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with his slight gasp, the angular muscle lines behind him continued to appear through the silk clothes he was wearing, could it be Yang Xuangan, who was known as invincible in the world?

Just now, Yang Xuangan knew what was going on as soon as he saw the dignity of the Lu family when he came out, and he was furious at the moment, and he struggled to line up a few people in front of him to save the Lu family, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late, and the strong Lu family killed himself directly against the wall after saying two words.

Yang Xuangan only turned all his anger into that punch and hit it hard, and when the fist was on his face, he suddenly remembered that Shangguan Zheng was also a three-grade assassin, and he was considered a senior member of the court, and he was only one level higher than him. If this punch really killed him, it might cause trouble for the family, so he collected five points of strength.

Rao is like this, this punch is also like a hammer on the face, directly beating Shangguanzheng to the point that thousands of trees and peach blossoms, and the sky is full of stars.

Yang Xuangan hated this official government for pretending to be public and private, forcing women from good families to commit adultery, and after failing to do so, he was so mad that he used candles to discredit people's faces and force people to die. The second hates Pei Qiantong for being a tiger, regardless of right and wrong, blindly greeting the official rank higher than himself, but not his direct superior, if he hadn't transferred troops behind him to coerce the people, maybe this Lu clan would not have died with his will.

The more Yang Xuangan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned his head and yelled at Pei Qiantong: "Pei Qiantong, after going back, General Xiang Xiong will take fifty military sticks for himself, and he will say that it is my General Yang who said that Xiaoguo does not have a useless thing like you, and beat you, a coward who obeys the orders of outsiders!" ”

Pei Qiantong was stunned for a moment, and before he could understand where he had made a mistake, he arched his hand and said: "General Yang, I listened to the orders of General Shangguan and saw that he was besieged by these Diao people, and went to rescue him, is this wrong?" ”

Yang Xuangan shouted: "I won't tell you today whether this is right or wrong, you only remember one thing, you are Xiaoguo, except for the emperor, only I can command you, if I am not there, only General Xiong can mobilize you with military talismans, in addition, the words of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu cannot be listened to!"

"Do you think that the official in the government is older than you, so you have to listen to him? If he asks you to rebel, will you go with him? ”

Pei Qiantong was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word, and after kowtowing twice on the ground, he turned over and ran in the direction of the Han Palace, where the temporary Xiaoguo camp of the Xiongkuhai Sea was located, and the soldiers behind him also put away their knives and guns, turned around and prepared to run back with Pei Qiantong.

Yang Xuangan's voice sounded in mid-air like thunder: "All the troops listen to the order, stand by in place, put the sword into the sheath, there must be no mistake!" Just now, General Ben ordered Pei Qiantong to go back alone to confess his guilt, and he didn't let you go back, from now on, all of them will obey my Xiaoguo commander Yang Xuangan, do you hear! ”

These Xiaoguo knights (although they are all on foot now) have followed Yang Xuangan all the way to the south and the north, in their hearts Yang Xuangan is the incarnation of the god of war. (To be continued......)
