Chapter 236: The Truth Revealed?
As in history, the twelve years of Kang Mazi were the same anxious and unprepared year for Kang Mazi, and it was in this year in history that Wu Laohan, who was repeatedly bullied by Kang Mazi, rebelled and set off an eight-year rebellion of the three feudatories. However, in this era, under the influence of the wings of the fat demon moth of Lu Fatzi, the twelve years of Kang Mazi are undoubtedly a more anxious and unprepared year for Kang Mazi.
The main force was lost, the elite was basically lost, Geng Jingzhong directly reversed, although Wu Sangui Lao Han did not officially raise the banner of rebellion, but it was also equivalent to the opposite, Burney also confirmed that it was about to be reversed, and even the most loyal Shang Kexi was unreliable and could not be counted on. The thirteen provinces in the north and south are in danger everywhere, the provinces are not peaceful, the country is in chaos, crumbling, Kang Mazi is so anxious every day that his brain is smoking, and he is so anxious that he is restless, but he can't come up with a good idea to extinguish this menacing rebellion, let alone exterminate so many thieves and thieves who have been killed by heaven in one fell swoop.
By the way, a similar bad situation, in the original history, Kang Mazi also encountered, but he took shit luck to catch up with Wu Laohan and died of a stroke, and there was no heir who could convince the public to suppress the situation. But in this era, because of the influence of the wings of a certain fat demon moth, Wu Laohan started his army two years ahead of schedule, and completely defeated the main force of Mites Qing four years in advance.
Even if Kang Mazi still has such luck, it doesn't matter, Wu Laohan has a successor, even if he really died of a stroke at the age of sixty-six, someone can inherit his legacy and lead the Yungui army to continue the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty. - A fat man's words.
With the initial victory of Geng Jingzhong's Northern Expedition to Zhejiang and the news of Burnny's imminent rebellion spread to the capital one after another, Kang Mazi, who was so anxious that his eyes were red, had no choice, if he didn't want to treat Geng Jingzhong like he treated Wu Laohan and annihilated, and went to Geng Jingzhong to ask for peace and negotiate land reparations, there was only one way left to transfer troops from the main battlefield of Huguang to the south to quell the rebellion. Because of this, Kang Mazi had no choice but to give his father-in-law who was ordered to envoy Wu Jun to the first class Chengen Gong Hesheri. Kabula issued a death order, telling him to find out the truth of Wu Jun's intentions, and judge whether Wu Jun could cross the river and go north, and take the opportunity to break through the Yangtze River defense line on which Kang Mazi relied for his last breath!
Coincidentally, six days after Kabula's Qincha team arrived in Wuchang City, Lu Fatzi, who was arrested for betraying the secrets of the Wu army to the Pingnan Palace, was also escorted to Wuchang City by the Wu army team sent by Wu Shizong. On the day when the prisoner car entered the city, thousands of empty alleys outside the city of Wuchang City all flocked to both sides of the official road to visit the downfall cup of the big red man Lu Fatzi in front of the prince of Pingxi, where the prisoner car went, the soldiers and civilians of Wuchang roared and shook the sky, rotten eggs, rotten cabbage and bricks and tiles rained down on the big traitor Lu Fatzi who sold the seller for glory, and the fat man Lu who was full of shackles and handcuffs all over his body was crying with small eyes, cowering in the corner of the prisoner car, crying non-stop, and shouting in despair and pain from time to time, "Wrong!" I'm wrongedββ! β
"Kill him! Kill this traitor! Rip him! Kill this shameless traitor! Dog thief! Traitor! β
I don't know if it's out of genuine anger, or just to curry favor with the new master of Wu Laohan, countless new-old and old Wu soldiers with short tempers shouted the slogan of cutting Lu Fatzi with a thousand knives, and some people brandished weapons and rushed to the prisoner car, if it weren't for the enough people sent by Wu Shizong to escort him, Lu Fatzi would definitely be beaten to death by everyone on the spot, and his body would be split to death.
"Get out of the way! I don't care about you! Get out of the way! "Wu Shizong's escort team can stop ordinary soldiers, but it can't stop Wu Yingqi, the youngest son of Wu Laohan. In the roar and roar, Wu Yingqi led a large group of Wu army generals with weapons, kicked and beat away the Wu soldiers who escorted Lu Fatzi, and rushed to Lu Fatzi's prisoner car with bloodshot eyes, yelling, "Dog thief, do you still know Lao Tzu?" β
"Uncle...... uncle." Lu Fatzi opened his little eyes, and when he saw that it was his acquaintance benefactor who had arrived, he quickly climbed down and knelt down in the prisoner car, and said with tears in his eyes: "Nephew Lu Yifeng, please say hello to my uncle." β
"Lao Tzu doesn't have your niece and son-in-law!" Wu Yingqi was also completely mad, slashed at the prisoner car, and yelled: "Lao Tzu was really blind back then, why did he promote you to be such a dog traitor?" Why did he still protect you and recommend you in front of your father? Reuse you? β
"Damn ...... nephew!" Fat Lu cried loudly, kowtowed again and again, and didn't even dare to say a word to defend himself.
"You should have fucking died a long time ago!" Wu Yingqi roared again, and slashed the wooden cage of the prisoner cart with a swing of his knife, intending to smash open the wooden cage and cut the traitor with his own hands. The civil and military officials of the Wu army behind Wu Yingqi applauded in unison, rushing up to help Wu Yingqi smash the prisoner car, and the jealousy and anger of Lu Fatzi's continuous rise were completely swept away. In addition, there were also the mite Qing officials and guards of the Kabula team who crowded into the crowd and saw it, and while they echoed and applauded loudly, their hearts were also more happy and relieved - real relief!
"Ying Qi, stop! Stop it! When the heavens didn't open their eyes, and when they saw that Lu Fatzi was about to be taken out of the prisoner car and flayed alive on the spot, Hu Guozhu, the first cronie and son-in-law of Wu Lao Han, suddenly arrived with someone, and while holding Wu Yingqi, who was thunderous, he personally grabbed Wu Yingqi, and commanded the army to stop the generals of the Wu army, "Stop!" Stop it! Wang Yejun's will, Lu Yifeng's dog thief betrayed the lord to seek glory, and the crime should be Ling Chi, but he can't be killed now, he must be killed after interrogation! β
"Brother-in-law, you let go, you let go of me!" Wu Yingqi yelled while struggling, "I will kill this traitor with my own hands, and kill this dog thief who eats inside and out with my own hands!" β
"Shut up!" Hu Guozhu suddenly started a fire and shouted: "Ying Qi, do you know how many secrets this Lu Yifeng has betrayed us?" How many new firearms have we been sold? If you don't ask clearly, kill him now, how can your father-in-law interrogate him personally? It's not easy to kill this dog traitor, and when it's time to put it on the court, I'll let you do it yourself! β
To put it mildly, Hu Guozhu finally stopped the angry Wu Yingqi, and also stopped the generals of the Wu army who had different thoughts, until everyone was stopped by Hu Guozhu's team, and the scene was a little quieter, Lu Fatzi knelt in the prisoner car, raised his dirty fat face, and shouted timidly, "Uncle......." β
"Phew!" Hu Guozhu spit on the fat man Lu's face, and scolded with a blue face: "Shut up!" Lao Tzu doesn't have your niece and son-in-law! Come on, put this dog thief on death row for me, double the guard! β
Usually the best uncle is so ruthless, Lu Fatzi inevitably cried even more, covered his face with his hands, knelt in the prisoner car and cried to death, Hu Guozhu brought the Wu army soldiers were merciless, pulled up Lu Fatzi's prisoner car and left, it was also at this time, the crowd finally squeezed into the Lu Fatzi and Li Tianzhi and other Lu Fatzi's cronies and generals, others also left, Yu Xuan just squeezed into the crowd and pounced on Lu Fatman, the face that was more beautiful than a woman cried like pear blossoms with rain, the sky was dark, when he was stopped by the Wu army's team, Yu Xuan threw himself in front of Hu Guozhu and knelt down on his knees, crying loudly: "General Jinwu, Lord Lu, he ......has been wronged. β
"Shut up!" Hu Guozhu coldly interrupted Yu Xuan's crying and shouted: "Whether he is wronged or not, only the prince decides, and it is not your turn to intervene!" Also, the prince has issued a decree, from now on, the traitor Lu Yifeng's army will be taken over by this official, and all of you will be dismissed on the spot, relieved of military power, and wait for this official to rearrange! β
"General Kingo......." Yu Xuan was about to cry, but Hu Guozhu was full of words, asked his own soldiers to pull Yu Xuan away, and personally escorted Lu Fatzi's prisoner car away, leaving Yu Xuan to kneel on the avenue and cry bitterly, "Yifeng, I hurt you, I hurt you......!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a few episodes when entering the city, under the eyes of everyone, Lu Fatzi was really escorted into the smelly and dirty death row, but after hurriedly washing off the dirt on his body and changing into a new prison clothes, Lu Fatzi was immediately put on death row by the guard team sent by Wu Laohan, and escorted to Wu Laohan's temporary residence to accept Wu Laohan's personal interrogation. Countless soldiers and civilians, Wu soldiers and mites who watched the excitement followed closely and followed Wu Laohan's temporary interrogation, but it is a pity that because of the confidentiality of Wu's weapons, Wu Laohanjian did not publicly interrogate Lu Fatzi, including Wu Yingqi and Xia Guoxiang, Wu Jun's heavy generals were stopped outside the Xingyuan Gate, and they could not get the scene to watch Lu Fatzi confess his crimes.
When he was escorted to the back hall of the temporary Xingyuan alone, Wu Lao Hanjian and his two hardcore lackeys Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong had been waiting here for a long time, and they had already prepared a reception banquet, and to Lu Fatzi's slight surprise, Fang Guangchen, the governor of Biyuan and the first important minister of Pingxi Palace, who was supposed to be stationed in Changsha, was also in the back hall, so as soon as they met, Lu Fatzi couldn't help but blurt out and ask: "Mr. Xianyan, why are you here too?" What's going on over there? β
"The situation is very good." Fang Guangchen replied with a smile: "As for why I came here - I didn't come in advance, do you want me, an old man who is almost seventy, to rush to the Dharma field tomorrow?" If there is an accident on the road and the time is delayed, who else in Wuchang City will have such a big face, begging the prince to keep people under the knife and spare your life as a dog traitor? Let you go to Ji Ji Mountain to make meritorious contributions? β
As soon as the words fell, there was already a ball of laughter in the back hall, and Wu Laohan, who was obviously much better than in the previous months, looked at Fat Lu up and down while laughing, and sighed: "Yifeng, why are you suffering?" For the sake of the king's great cause, he is willing to suffer such a grievance? I've already heard Guozhu say that if he was a step late just now, you would have been cut down on the spot by my stupid son. β
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can assist your grandfather in expelling the Tartars, dominating the world, and laying the foundation for the great cause of the emperor that is not easy for generations, the grandson-in-law will suffer no matter how much he is wronged, and he will be willing to do it." Fat Lu hurriedly saluted and took the opportunity to pat himself on the back.
"Arise, you are suffering." Wu Lao Han was also moved in his heart, and personally got up to pick up Lu Fatzi, and said with a slight choked voice: "A lonely peak, a million male soldiers!" Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen nodded again and again, feeling the same way, but Wang Shirong still had the ugly expression that the fat man owed him 800 yuan, but his eyes still couldn't contain some emotion.
"Thank you, grandfather." Fat Lu hurriedly thanked him, and added, "But when it comes to suffering, the grandson-in-law is absolutely not as happy as Yue Le and the monk, and the two of them, I'm afraid it's the real bitterness." β
"Hahaha......!" Wu Lao Hanjian, Hu Guozhu and others laughed again, and they all said that this sentence could not be more right, compared with Yue Le and Shang Kexi, the hardships suffered by Lu Fatzi were simply not worth mentioning. Wu Lao Hanjian also smiled and said: "This is the truth, Gu received a report, the Emperor Mangou has arrested Yue Le, and he has transferred 20,000 troops from Nanchang to Ganzhou, just to guard against Shang Kexi's old things!" The old thing has been a dog for a lifetime, and in the end it ended up like this, I'm afraid that the current taste in my heart is even worse than Yue Le! Hahahaha......! β
Everyone laughed again, and Fat Lu also smirked, feeling greatly relieved, and secretly said that the old man was still annihilated, and now he knows that the taste of betraying the country and seeking glory is not comfortable, right? Do you know what happened to the calculating Lao Tzu? Wait, Lao Tzu won't annihilate you, a hardcore old man, and his wife will be separated, his family will be ruined, and he won't let the dog raid your house and behead you, Ling Chi will live, and Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Lu!
finally waited until he had enough laughter, and then Wu Laohan invited everyone to sit down, and while picking up the wind and washing the dust for Lu Fatzi, he discussed the recent military situation. It was also at this time that Lu Fatzi finally learned the news that Kang Mazi's father-in-law Kabula had arrived in Wuchang, and after hearing that Kabula on behalf of Kang Mazi rewarded Wu Laohan with 10,000 taels of silver and funded Wu Laohan to relocate the palace, Lu Fatzi immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Emperor Mangou is crazy, and he wants to transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield and is afraid that we will take the opportunity to break through the Yangtze River defense line, so he sent his father-in-law to spy on the truth." But it's okay, by the way, I can let Kabula see for himself how I, a traitor to the Pingxi Palace, was severely punished by my grandfather. β
"Then you're going to have to act like a little bit." Wu Laohan, who was in an excellent mood, made a joke, "When you are stripped naked tomorrow, you'd better pee your pants on the court and let Kabula see it clearly and carefully." β
Wu Lao Hanjian personally made a joke, Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi, the two sycophants, naturally hurriedly echoed and laughed, although Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong felt indecent, they couldn't help but laugh a few times. After Wu Laohan laughed, he immediately turned to the topic and asked, "Yifeng, in your opinion, what should we do next?" Do you continue to play strategic deception, pretend that you have no intention of going north, and induce Mangou to withdraw troops from the Huguang battlefield? β
"The grandson-in-law dared to ask his grandfather, what do Mr. Xianyan, Uncle and Mr. Liangchen mean?" Fat Lu didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"We are all in favor of continuing to show weakness." Fang Guangchen replied for Wu Laohan: "We want to ask the prince to temporarily move to Hengzhou, and pretend that there is no intention of going north, to induce Mangou to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield, and wait for the remaining money, food, and military salary promised by Mangou to get it, and then suddenly attack and break through Mangou's Yangtze River defense line in one fell swoop!" β
Lu Fatzi didn't rush to agree, and after thinking for a while, Lu Fatzi asked Fang Guangchen: "Mr. Xianyan, students dare to ask - if you are the Emperor of Mangou, when you urgently need to transfer the Huguang army south to quell the rebellion, your grandfather and other families suddenly went south to Hengzhou, and transferred the main force to the southern battlefield far away from the Yangtze River, pulling you when you were about to fall into the water, and sending pillows when you need to sleep the most, what would you think?" Do you think there's a deception? β
Fang Guangchen was silent, and only replied after a while: "Regarding this point, the old man also considered it, and he was also worried that the Mangou Emperor felt that there was fraud in it, and he didn't dare to transfer troops from Huguang, but how to make the Mangou Emperor completely take it lightly and completely lose his vigilance, the old man couldn't think of a better idea." β
"Yifeng, I know that you have a fast brain and a flexible mind." Wu Lao Hanjian was not polite to Lu Fatzi, and directly urged: "If you have any good ideas, just say it directly, don't go around, say it first, let us all refer to it." β
"Yes." Lu Fatzi agreed, and said: "But the grandson-in-law confesses, and the grandson-in-law has to beat around the bush, the grandson-in-law once thought backwards, pretending to be the emperor of the dogs, thinking that the only normal reaction we can make him feel unexpected is to rob while the fire is on!" β
"Robbing while it's hot?" Wu Laohan raised his white eyebrows and asked, "How can you rob while the fire is hot?" β
"Recruit civilian ships, recruit sailors, and pose as if you are crossing the river and attacking!" Fat Lu replied in a deep voice: "Only by doing this, will the Mangou Emperor believe that everything we do is under his control!" β
"But in this way, won't the Mangou side dare to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield?" Hu Guozhu asked in surprise.
"Uncle, it's only June, and there are still more than four months to go before the one-year period of the military salary and food promised by Mangou." Lu Fatzi replied that the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, "If we directly induce Mangou to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield now, then once Geng Jingzhong can't hold out for four months, Mangou will have enough time to quell Geng Jingzhong's rebellion and return to the Huguang battlefield in time." And if we launch a strong attack during this period and cross the Yangtze River, then the remaining 10 million taels of silver and 1.5 million stone of grain will be lost. β
"Therefore, Sun Gonggong thinks that we are trying to induce Mangou to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield, but not now, at least in three months! In these three months, we must share some pressure for Geng Jingzhong, let him jump more wildly, make his momentum more fierce, and make the pressure on the Mangou Emperor more and more eager, so that we can force the Mangou Emperor to pay the military salary and grain as promised, and we can also ensure that we suddenly take the army by surprise! β
"To be specific, the finer the better." Wu Laohan ordered quietly.
"The first step is to tighten on the outside and loose on the inside." Lu Fatzi quickly said the poisonous plan he had brewed on the way north, "First of all, grandfather can order the collection of civilian ships, recruit sailors, and put on a posture of crossing the river to attack, forcing the Mangou Emperor not to dare to divide his troops. But at the same time, inside, grandfather, you can let the army relax, play when you should play, drink when you should drink, weapons, grain and grass are not busy transporting, and the palace in Hengzhou also continues to repair, so that Mangou thinks that we are strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and we are screaming loudly, but in fact we have no intention of really doing it. β
"The second step is to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. The grandson-in-law dared to suggest that his grandfather could put forward three conditions to Mangou, one was to be the emperor, the second was the year's coin, and the third was the territory, so that the Mangou Emperor thought that the grandfather was robbing while the fire was taking advantage of the fire, but it was just to tear the soil and claim the emperor, gold, silver and jewelry, and there was no intention of plotting the Central Plains. β
"The third step is to sign another peace treaty with the Mangou Emperor, promising never to do the opposite, agreeing on the number of garrisons in the bordering area, and asking the Mangou Emperor to agree to all the demands of his grandfather, in short, the more true the better, and the Mangou Emperor must think that it is your grandfather's greatest wish to be the emperor in five provinces and one province, so that he can really draw heavy troops from the Huguang battlefield. Anyway, we have the handwritten warrant of the Mangou Emperor in our hands, even if we tear up the peace treaty and suddenly start an army, we are still famous, justifiable, and morally not lagging behind. β
"The fourth step, use the psychological blind spot of the full dog...... what psychological blind spot? This is something that the dog can't dream of, and the grandson-in-law doesn't pay attention to the Western terminology he says, so he asks his grandfather to forgive him. The fourth step is to sign a peace agreement with Mangou, when Mangou is ready to pay the promised military salary, grain and grass, take advantage of Mangou to think that we are greedy for military salary, grain and grass, even if we want to suddenly make trouble, we will wait patiently for a few more days, suddenly raise troops, and break through the Yangtze River defense line of Mangou in one fell swoop! β
"But in this way, isn't our military salary, grain and grass in vain?" Hu Guozhu asked strangely.
"Uncle, didn't my son-in-law say that I don't want military salaries, grain and grass?" Lu Fatzi replied with a smile: "The military salary grain and grass promised by Mangou must be transported to Hanyang for hoarding, compared with waiting for Mangou to send the military salary grain and grass across the river, we will cross the river ourselves to get it, isn't it to save a lot of effort and people's porter money?" β
"Wonderful!" Fang Guangchen patted the table lightly and said with a smile: "In the end, Yifeng is still a young man who can come up with such a clever plan." If Mangou promised to pay the military salary and grain and grass on the fourth day of the first month of October, then we launched a surprise attack on the night of the third day of the first month of October and forcibly crossed the river to attack Hanyang. β
"It's the rainy season, and the river is rising sharply, which is not conducive to our crossing." Wang Shirong said quietly: "But four months later will be the dry season, which is conducive to our crossing of the river." β
"Then let's do it." Wu Lao Hanjian now likes to listen to Lu Fatzi's bad ideas more and more - although one is more bad than the other, but one is more effective than the other, and said with a smile: "Guozhu, starting tomorrow, you will follow Yifeng's idea to recruit a large number of civilian ships and sailors, scare the full dogs on the north shore, and also share some more pressure for Geng Jingzhong's side." Otherwise, with his second-rate army in Fujian, he would have to support him for three or four months under the strong attack of Mangou, which is indeed enough. β
"Father-in-law Shengming." Hu Guozhu hurriedly got up and agreed, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, the son-in-law must let Mangou scare his courage, and he will never dare to draw troops south at this time." β
"Grandfather, Geng Jingzhong's side should give him more firearms support." Lu Fatzi also suggested: "The price of firearms can be lower, if he can't get the silver for the time being, he can temporarily sell on credit, or let him exchange saltpeter, the more fierce he takes our new firearms in Zhejiang, the easier it will be for us, and in the future, in the peace treaty, we can also cut off the supply of firearms to Geng Jingzhong as a condition, and get more benefits from Mangou." β
"Lao Tzu had already ordered the day before yesterday to ask Guo Zhuang Tubai to give Geng Jingzhong 1,000 rockets, 3,000 grenades and 500 catties of explosives!" Wu Laohan was arrogant, and said with a cruel smile: "Geng Jingzhong is so rebellious in Fujian, he has saved countless military expenses for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu should also give him a little sweetness." β
"Grandfather is wise." Lu Fatzi hurriedly patted his ass again, "The holy candle shines, the vision is thousands of miles, the rainy day is prepared, the prophet is unpredictable, and the martial arts are extraordinary......." β
"Alright, alright, don't mess around." Wu Lao Han laughed and interrupted Lu Fatzi's sycophancy, and then asked, "Yifeng, what are you going to do tomorrow when Mr. Xianyan rescues you from the butcher's knife?" β
"The son-in-law betrayed his grandfather and betrayed his master for glory, and he deserved death." Fat Lu made a gesture to wipe his tears, and said with a fake choked voice: "So my grandson-in-law is willing to go to Ji Ji Mountain to do lifelong hard labor, build more high-concentration alcohol incendiary bombs for my grandfather, and develop more new firearms, so that my grandfather can use it when he crosses the river to attack the Mangou Water Division, atone for his sins, and make meritorious contributions to his crimes." β
"That's good." Wu Laohan agreed casually, turned to Hu Guozhu and ordered: "Guozhu, go and pass on this Wang Jun's decree, Lu Yifeng is a dog thief who betrays the master for glory and leaks the secrets of our firearms, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no room for quibbles!" At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Chi was executed in public at the Wuchang Law Field! Also, this king will personally supervise the punishment, so that everyone in the world can see what kind of fate it will be to betray this king! β
"Follow my father-in-law's orders!" Hu Guozhu agreed, and put the confession transcript that had been prepared long ago in front of Lu Fatzi, and shouted: "Dog thief, draw a confession!" Before the words fell, the back hall was already full of smug laughter.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wu Laohan's treatment of traitors is indeed vicious, and the time that Lu Fatzi joined the Pingxi Royal Mansion is not short, and he has made countless contributions to Wu Laohan's annihilation of the Southern and Northern Wars and internal military affairs, but it is just because he took care of his wife's safety and leaked a few sketches and a few formulas to the enemy, he was ordered by Wu Laohanjian to be killed! The news spread, the whole city of Wuchang shook, the whole army of Wu shook, and the next day, when there was still more than an hour left at three o'clock in the afternoon, the court outside Wuchang City was already crowded with people inside and outside the court, crowded with soldiers and civilians who came to see the excitement - of course, of course, there were naturally no more spies of the Qing court, and the guards sent by Qin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Laohan's prince's guard of honor and Lu Fatzi's prisoner car arrived at the court at the same time, and then Wu Laohanzhan naturally boarded the execution platform to personally supervise the execution, and Lu Fatzi, who was trembling as if he was sifting chaff, was dragged onto the execution platform in the scolding of Wu Jun's soldiers, stripped of his outer clothes and underwear, and only a pair of big pants remained, which were firmly tied to the wooden pillar. Xiao Erlang and Qin Yong, Lu Fatzi's loyal lackeys, carried the coffin and held incense, candles, paper money, and wept under the execution table, waiting to collect Lu Fatzi's body.
"Wow!" The first thing that caused everyone to exclaim was the fishing net that the executioner took out - those who know something about Ling Chi know that this is called fish scale cutting, binding the whole body with a fishing net, and then cutting it from the hole in the fish net with a knife, which is the most cruel and vicious of Ling Chi's punishment! And when the fishing nets were tied all over Lu Fatzi's body, the mite Qing officials, guards and fine workers led by Kabula were all trembling with excitement, and they all shouted in their hearts, "Good! Deserve! β
Lie said in the air, the executioner's butcher's knife was shining, and Lu Fatzi was crying bitterly on the execution pillar, constantly begging and shouting, "I am guilty, I am guilty, Lord Wang, please for the sake of my small merits, spare me not to die." When Hu Guozhu reported that it had arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Laohan immediately grabbed the arrow and threw it down, shouting: "Execution!" β
"Keeping people under the knife ββ!" A sharp woman's voice came, interrupting everyone's cheers, hearing this voice, Wu Lao Hanjian, Lu Fatzi and others couldn't help but be stunned, and said in their hearts: "No, this is not Fang Guangchen's voice?" And Fang Guangchen, who was waiting in the distance and was about to open his mouth, was also stunned, and said in his heart: "No, how did I become a woman's voice?" β
"Keep people under the knife! Keep people under the knife! In the continuous shouting, a young man in full armor struggled to push away the crowd and forcibly squeezed into the middle of the court, Wu soldiers stepped forward to stop him, but were stopped by Hu Guozhu's subordinates, and let the young man stumble into the field, climbed onto the execution platform, rushed to Lu Fatzi's side, knelt down on Wu Laohan's knees, and cried out: "Lord Wang, the last general begs you, please spare a peak and a life!" It's not him who is guilty, it's me, it's me! β
"Xuan Yuxuan?" Wu Laohan stood up in shock, and finally recognized that the person turned out to be the legendary big man who had an unclear relationship with his grandson-in-law, Yu Xuan.
"Be bold and bold Yu Xuan, what crime should you be guilty of trespassing on the law field?" Hu Guozhu jumped out and pointed at Yu Xuan angrily and asked.
"Lord Wang, General Jinwu, the guilty person is not Lu Yifeng, it's me!" Yu Xuan howled and cried: "It's me who is jealous, I have already arrested his wife Shang Wanfeng, but in order to let Shang Wanzhen leave Lu Yifeng, I deliberately let her go!" That's why there was a later incident, Yifeng he was also forced to betray our Pingxi Palace! I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I am willing to die in place of Yifeng, I just ask the prince to spare his life! β
"What?" Wu Lao Han finally came to some real anger, and shouted: "You are so bold, since you have intercepted Xiao Gege of Pingnan Palace, why did you let her go?" β
"Because ......, because I want Yifeng to divorce her and marry me!" Yu Xuan was also anxious, and blurted out his true thoughts.
"Marry you? A man marries a man? Countless people burst out laughing. Wu Lao Han Jian was also angry and funny, pointing at Yu Xuan and shouting: "Nonsense! You are a man, how can Lu Yifeng marry you? β
"Yu Xuan, this is a daughter!" Yu Xuan stood up, first ripped off the helmet on his head, revealing a short hair, and then took off the armor on his body, revealing a delicate and convex figure wearing only thin women's clothes, and finally pulled off the fake beard on his lips, and shouted with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, please see, am I a woman?" I'm actually called Yu Yu'er, not Yu Xuan. β
"Wowββ!" This time it was finally a sensation in the audience, and countless Wu soldiers never dreamed that Yu Xuan, who had trained himself to death on the training ground, was just a woman! Wu Lao Han Jian, Hu Guozhu and others were also speechless, saying that they didn't expect that Yu Xuan, who had captured Shang Lao Han Jian on the battlefield for their own people, turned out to be a woman!
"Yu'er, are you crazy?" Fat Lu finally screamed, "If you do this, your father will be guilty of bullying the king!" β
"I can't care so much anymore!" Yu Xuan's eyes were also red, and he cried in public: "Lord Wang, Yu Er unfortunately died early in the past, and his father was seriously ill, in order not to make the Guangxi army unrestrained, Yu Er persuaded his father to cut off his long hair, disguise himself as a man, and lead the Guangxi army for his father. Originally, Yu'er also thought that as long as her father's condition could improve, Yu'er could regain her daughter's body and return the army to her father, but she never thought that her father's condition had not improved, and the court issued an order to canonize Yu'er's official position, if Yu'er confided the truth again, her father would be a bully, and the crime should be beheaded, Yu'er had no choice but to play the show, and continued to dress up as Yu Xuan, the third general ....... β
Speaking of this, Yu Yu'er couldn't cry anymore, while Wu Lao Hanjian and the others were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe that it was true. After a long time, Wu Laohan shouted and asked: "Bold Yu'er, since your father and daughter have committed the crime of defrauding the king, why did you confess your guilt in public today?" β
"Because ......." Lu Yu'er completely let go, pointed at Lu Fatzi, and said loudly with a red face: "Because Yu'er likes him, loves him, and wants to marry him, Yu'er deliberately let go of his wife!" is also because Yu'er loves him and likes him, so Yu'er doesn't want him to die and wants to die for him! β
After that, Yu'er knelt down on her knees again, and shouted with tears: "Lord, Yu'er begs you, Yu'er begs for the sake of Yu'er's little credit, spare a peak and a life, he was harmed like this by Yu'er, it is Yu'er's fault, Yu'er is willing to die instead of him!" Lord Wang, Yu'er begs you! Pleaseββ! β
Crying and begging, Yu Yu'er kowtowed again and again until her white jade-like forehead bleed. Seeing this scene, not only Wu Laohan was moved, but countless soldiers and civilians present couldn't help but cry sadly, sympathizing with Lu Fatzi and Lu Yu'er. And after Hu Guozhu came back to his senses, he was angry and funny, and hurriedly attached himself to Wu Laohan's ear and whispered: "Father-in-law, what a chance, at this time, pardon Yifeng for immortality, even if the gods come, they can't tell the truth from the fake!" β
