Chapter 181: A Bloody Case Caused by a Sentence of Molestation
Kong Sheng's life in Suiyang is monotonous and boring, day after day.
I got up early in the morning and practiced in the morning, and then learned archery with Nie Chuchen outside the city. In the morning, he returned to the city to attend the military and political meeting organized by Zhang Xun, and in the afternoon he dealt with some specific affairs arranged by the Taishou Mansion and the Yamen. As for the evenings, except for the occasional invitation to participate in the gathering activities of the small circle of officials and generals in the city, Kong Sheng stayed in his bedroom most of the time, and no one knew what he was busy with.
The Spring Festival is coming.
This means that An Lushan's death is approaching, and the time in Kong Sheng's plan is coming.
Regarding the "trend" of the An Lushan rebels, Kong Sheng briefly mentioned it once at the joint military-political meeting, pointing out that there are signs of power change in the An Lushan Dayan regime, and there will be large-scale internal strife and readjustment of interests and redistribution of military strength within the rebels, but no one below Zhang Xun has taken his words to heart, and Kong Sheng did not care about it, so he did not mention it again.
As of today, it has been the fifth day since Zhang Xun issued the order to halve the ration and the ban on alcohol and extravagant gatherings. According to Kong Sheng's observations, most of these bans have been implemented, which is enough to show that no one dares to resist Zhang Xun's authority in Suiyang, but only on a partial scale, for some privileged people, these bans occasionally become invalid. For example, the prohibition of alcohol.
Generals are good at drinking, which is almost a common problem. The ban is at the head, and I dare not drink it in public, but in private, it is not uncommon to have a three-five party and secretly drink some old wine that I have stored every now and then.
Zhang Xun actually knew this and pretended not to know.
His purpose in prohibiting alcohol was to reduce food consumption, eliminate the production of liquor, and unite people. Alert. Maintain the fierce and vigorous fighting spirit of the military and people of Suiyang City. It's not about getting along with anyone. As long as you can get by on the big face, you can't take it seriously if you secretly drink some wine at home behind your back.
Especially on this cold day, in addition to the daily duty training, it is normal for the generals to drink some wine at home to keep warm, pass the boring and lonely time, and relieve the tension.
Don't say that Zhang Xun is confused. Even Kong Sheng understands it very well.
It also deserves something, and this thing is in the wine.
Three o'clock in the afternoon. Nie Chuchen entered the city in a hurry, she left Suiyang for two days, took a shortcut to Pengcheng, and did something for Kong Sheng. Of course, by the way, he also took the official official letter signed by Zhang Xun of Suiyang to ask for help and food from King Yu.
Nie Chuchen was wrapped in a black coat, and his graceful figure was wrapped in red clothes, leading the horse to walk slowly. But he didn't go far when he heard a rough shout from the side of the road, and at the same time a strong smell of wine came: "Bah." Nie's girl, come here. Ben will have something to ask you. ”
In Suiyang's current situation, the people in the city are all at home and do not go out, and the streets are empty, except for the sergeants on duty, that is, the civil and military officials to whom the city belongs. Leng Buding's voice came from the corner on the side of the street, which surprised Nie Chuchen.
She turned her head to look and saw Zhang Kui and Li Ding drunkenly leaning against the door of an inn that had been closed for a long time, waving their hands, the saber at their waist falling to the ground at will, and the corners of their mouths were crooked, looking like they were drunk.
Nie Chuchen glanced at the two of them in disgust, too lazy to bother with them, and turned his head to leave.
But why do you deserve it? Zhang Kui and Li Ding had just been laid off and had completed the task of guarding today, and on a whim, they kicked open the door of the ownerless inn not far from the city gate, and found a few jars of wine from the warehouse inside, and the two of them drank it in half to warm their bodies.
But the more you drink it, the more you drink it, the more energetic it gets, and you can't stop it. Originally, it was just to warm up the body, even if it was discovered by Zhang Xun or others, it would not be elegant, but later it became an alcoholism, and all kinds of unhappiness and depression surged through the strength of the wine.
The marriage proposal was decisively rejected by Nie Chuchen, and Zhang Kui regarded it as a humiliation that had been accumulated in his heart, and now the two of them went out and happened to bump into Nie Chuchen who was returning to the city, which was the reason for the mistake.
"Tsk, what is this girl pretending to be serious? I can't get clear with that Kong Sheng all day long...... Uh, come here, have a drink with General Ben! Zhang Kui laughed wildly, leaned against the doorpost of the inn, and raised his hand to tease.
Li Ding also let out an ambiguous and treacherous laugh on the side.
In fact, Zhang Kui didn't really want to do anything to Nie Chuchen, he wanted to openly use force on Nie Chuchen in the city, he didn't have the ability or the guts, but he teased him with alcohol to vent his dissatisfaction, that's all.
However, Nie Chuchen's temperament is like fire, and he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes, so he can stand such a teasing.
She turned pale on the spot and sneered, grabbed her cloud-piercing bow from the horse, took the arrow and drew the bow, and a feather arrow flew away through the air, without dragging mud and water at all, and directly pierced the right chest of Zhang Kui, who was caught off guard!
Blood flowed, and Zhang Kui let out a high-pitched scream.
Li Ding on the side was terrified, the alcohol dissipated instantly, he pulled out his legs and was about to run, but saw Nie Chuchen take the arrow and draw the bow again, and another arrow hit his left arm.
A street teasing turned into a bloody tragedy, Nie Chuchen indifferently glanced at Zhang Kui and the others, who were covering their wounds and howling miserably, and led the horse to continue walking regardless of it. At this time, she was angry, if Zhang Kui and Li Ding dared to say anything disrespectful, I am afraid that she would kill the two of them with one arrow.
At this distance, the two of them didn't have to run under Nie Chuchen's arrows.
Nie Chuchen didn't take it seriously at all. But Suiyang's two subordinates were seriously injured by her shooting, which caused Zhang Xun's thunderous anger. Regardless of the cause of the incident, but at present, the battle of Suiyang is imminent, and the two tiger generals have lost their combat effectiveness, which is unacceptable to Zhang Xun no matter what.
Kong Sheng learned the cause and effect from Nie Chuchen's mouth, and his face was a little gloomy. He wasn't afraid of anything, and he wasn't afraid of things and didn't want to resist Nie Chuchen, but he felt that Zhang Xun would take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss about himself and attack him.
I already had an estrangement and suspicion with the standard person under Zhang Xun, and now I have even more hatred.
Nie Chuchen looked at Kong Sheng with clear eyes and said softly: "Kong Sheng, you don't have to be embarrassed, one person does things and one person is responsible, this girl dares to do what she does, you hand me over, I want to see, what if this dog official in Suiyang dares to take me?" ”
Kong Sheng let out a sigh: "Senior Sister Nie, what are you talking about?" You and I are one, your business is my business, not to mention, Zhang Kui, the two dog thieves, dared to tease the senior sister, and they were innocent! ”
Nie Chuchen smiled coquettishly and glanced at Kong Sheng coquettishly, "Since you don't treat your senior sister as an outsider, then I'll go and rest, it's really tiring to travel overnight." I said you don't have to be afraid, what are you afraid of? It's a big deal, we rushed out of Suiyang and walked away, where can't we accommodate the world? ”
Nie Chuchen went back to his room to sleep in a big way. It can be seen that this matter has not left any ripples in her heart at all, and it is really not a matter of fact.
Kong Sheng turned his head to look at Mu Changfeng and smiled bitterly: "Big brother, Senior Sister Nie is simple-minded, but her sex is like fire, and she can't eat any anger!" Now that she has seriously injured Zhang Xun's people, I'm afraid Zhang Xun won't give up. Just in case, eldest brother, you ask Wu Xianwu and Wu Xie to inform Li Biao and Li Hu to get ready, in case something happens, we-"
Kong Sheng's voice became cold, and he waved his hand suddenly.
Mu Changfeng snorted and turned around to arrange.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps and a fierce knock outside the door of the mansion, and Mu Changfeng's footsteps stopped, and his face changed. Kong Sheng's face did not change, and he waved his hand lightly: "Big brother, don't panic, you go and arrange, I will deal with them." ”
Lei Wanchun led more than 100 soldiers to surround the gate of Kong Sheng's mansion. Lei Wanchun arranged for someone to come forward and was about to knock on the door with a complicated expression, but he heard the door squeak open, Kong Sheng was dressed in bright armor and tied with a black coat, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and walked out of the door step by step, majestic.
Wu Xian Wuxie and dozens of Modao cavalry under the command of Li Biao and Li Hu followed closely with solemn expressions, lined up on both sides of the gate.
Kong Sheng put Fang Tian's halberd pillar in front of him, hugged his fist at Lei Wanchun and said, "General Lei, what are you going to do with people surrounding my mansion?" ”
Lei Wanchun spit out a breath of turbidity, and also clenched his fists and saluted back: "Kong County Order, the last general is ordered by Lord Zhongcheng to come to arrest Nie Chuchen, the murderer who hurt the general of the headquarters, and please make it convenient for you to hand over Nie Chuchen to the last general, so as not to make it difficult for the general." ”
As he spoke, the fierce soldiers under Lei Wanchun were about to rush into the mansion to get people.
Kong Sheng suddenly shook his tongue and roared angrily: "Who dares?!" Who dares to break into the mansion of this official for half a step, Hugh blames Kong for the merciless halberd under his hand! ”
Kong Sheng danced the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, rolling up the wind and whistling, and the sound was terrifying. The soldiers who had rushed over looked at Kong Sheng in fear, stopped, and slowly retreated.
Kong Sheng defeated Nan Jiyun outside the city that day, and took Zhang Kui and Li Ding as a god, the two fierce generals, the name of the mighty has long been thunderous in the Suiyang army, especially his super heavy and long Fang Tian painting halberd, if it is stained, it will either be dead or injured, even if these soldiers are brave, how dare they go to confront Kong Sheng?
Besides, they still have the main general. With Lei Wanchun here, naturally Lei Wanchun negotiated with Kong Sheng, and there was no need for these soldiers to block the gun.
Lei Wanchun had long known that this was not a good errand, and if he wanted to take Nie Chuchen from Kong Sheng's hands, it would be extremely difficult, unless he tore his face and sent a large army to besiege him. But if that's the case, it's going to be a big deal. At present, the great enemy of Suiyang can't stand the infighting.
Kong Sheng said coldly: "General Lei, may I ask what crime Senior Sister Nie committed to arrest the labor sergeant?" ”
Lei Wanchun smiled bitterly: "Kong County order, Miss Nie shot Zhang Kui and Li Ding to serious injuries, if it wasn't for proper treatment, I'm afraid that my life would be in danger now, and I would be a little ruthless." ”
Kong Sheng asked silently: "So, may I ask General Lei, why did Senior Sister Nie hurt Zhang Kui and Li Ding for no reason?" ”
Lei Wanchun was speechless for a while. He also heard that Zhang Kui and Li Ding were drunk and molested Nie Chuchen on the street, and were injured by Nie Chuchen's two arrows. Of course, these two people were at fault first, but in Lei Wanchun's heart, Nie Chuchen was still too ruthless, and the conflict in words was not an enemy of life and death, so it was too much to attack so ruthlessly.
Moreover, Nie Chuchen is a citizen, Zhang Kui and Li Ding are imperial court generals, and they are fighting bloodily to defend Suiyang, even if they are not in place, they will not lose their lives. A grass man shot and injured a general of the imperial court, this is the following serious crime!
These generals under Zhang Xun's command all had such a mentality, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, clamoring to demand that Nie Chuchen be brought to justice. (To be continued.) )
