Chapter 141: Seventy-Eight Human Heads!
Liang Pengfei hurriedly walked into the lobby of the Governor's Palace, at this time, in the Governor's Palace, several high-ranking officials had already gathered, Governor Fu Kangan, Guangdong Sailor Zhao Chenglan, and Guangdong Governor Guo Shixun, who were already sitting in the hall, Fukangan looked calm and did not say a word.
"Your Excellency has seen you." After Liang Pengfei entered the lobby, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted these high-ranking and powerful people.
"Peng Fei, look at this, the emergency military report that just came back from the Xin'an Water Division Battalion." After Fukangan bowed slightly to Liang Pengfei, he turned his head and nodded at Master Zeng beside him.
Master Zeng hurriedly submitted the military report to Liang Pengfei's hands. As soon as Liang Pengfei opened the military newspaper, he saw the familiar handwriting of Wu Liang, the commander of the camp above, and after reading the content of the book, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but change color: "What?!" ”
The 85 patrolmen stationed in Nantou Zhaixun, except for seven, who escaped, all died, and what is even more odious is that all the heads were cut off and inserted on the wooden fence of the camp...... Liang Pengfei's heart was cold, and his big hand pinching the thin official document trembled like a dead leaf in the autumn wind. The eighty-five patrol officers are those who Liang Pengfei picked out from the original old, weak, sick and disabled people who are no longer suitable for being soldiers, but at least they can still take on patrols, arrest thieves, maintain law and order, and other tasks.
Originally, Liang Pengfei swept away those smuggling maritime merchants, not only making them famous, but also shocking those thieves who were operating outside Xin'an County, although the other side of the strait is the territory of the Tan family, but with the relationship between Liang Pengfei and Shi Xianggu, there should not be any unnecessary conflicts.
--------------------
But Liang Pengfei, who thought he was safe, never thought that he had only left the Xin'an Water Division Camp for no more than six days, and such a tragedy had happened, how could Liang Pengfei not be shocked, but what shocked him even more was what Zhao Chenglan said.
"Those who attacked the defenders of my Great Clear Water Division were none other than the Tan family thief Shi Xianggu and his gang." Zhao Chenglan's face was blue, and he said gloomily.
In the military newspaper, Wu Liang recorded the descriptions of the surviving patrols as they were, with purple flags and stone-shaped battle flags.
And after those pirates killed all the people and blew off their heads and stuck them in the fence, they also left a special letter to tell those people that because of the private behavior of the Xin'an Water Division Battalion, they lost their Xiyi allies, and there was an important smuggling channel, so he knew that this was a naked revenge.
Hearing Zhao Chenglan's words and the content of the official document, Liang Pengfei looked angry and angry, but he had a cold smile in his heart.
If this matter was done by the Xiyi pirates, Liang Pengfei would believe it, if it was done by those other pirate groups, Liang Pengfei would definitely believe it, even if Zhao Chenglan told Liang Pengfei that this matter was done by another colleague in the navy battalion who looked at him unpleasantly, Liang Pengfei could understand it, but if it was Shi Xianggu who did it, even if Liang Pengfei crossed over again, he would definitely not believe this fact.
There is only one explanation, some people want to destroy the relationship between Liang Pengfei and the Shi family, sow discord, and vainly try to make the Shiliang family have another dispute, and destroy the stable environment for the peaceful coexistence of the Shiliang family. Liang Pengfei's sensitive nose had already sniffed something called conspiracy.
"Liang Garrison, early tomorrow morning, you will rush back to Xin'an Camp to appease the soldiers, rectify the defense, don't let this kind of thing happen again, and embarrass the governor, understand?" Fukangan said lightly, but there was a faint displeasure in his words.
He also knew that this rush matter, it was indeed no wonder that the Xin'an water division in front of him was guarded, a Nantou Zhaixun, less than 100 people, and hundreds of people on the other side suddenly attacked, caught off guard, even if no one escaped, it was not strange.
But this is really not good news for Fukangan, who has just gone to Qianlong to praise the security of the two Guangzhous and Guangzhou, which is unparalleled in the world and unparalleled on the earth.
"The subordinate obeys the order, the governor can rest assured, after the subordinate official returns, he will definitely rectify the defense to prevent such an incident from happening again." Liang Pengfei Liang Pengfei gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth and hated the truth, and his eyes were full of blood.
"No matter which one did it, if you kill Lao Tzu's subordinates, you will have to repay it twice, otherwise, Lao Tzu Liang will write upside down." Liang Pengfei secretly swore in his heart.
Fukangan seemed to feel Liang Pengfei's anger, and after a slight pause, he slowed down his tone: "Pengfei, after you go back, don't make trouble without permission, the Tan family is a big thief, far from being your only battalion enemy, you are the person that the governor fancies, don't lose the big because of the small." ”
After returning to the mansion, Liang Pengfei still felt that his heart was hurting, although those patrolmen were not Liang's children, but they were also his own subordinates, and after more than two months of getting along, there was still friendship among comrades.
But in the blink of an eye, seventy-eight fresh lives were fleeting, and their heads were cut off and inserted in wooden stakes, which made Liang Pengfei really hold back a fire in his heart, a anger that could burn fine iron.
"Put this letter in Shi Xianggu's hands, the sooner the better." Liang Pengfei handed the envelope into Wu Qianjin's hand, then turned his head and instructed the white scholar.
When Mr. Liang didn't know that he had returned to the house, when he heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table and scold his mother. "Dog, someone must have looked at our Shiliang family unpleasantly."
"Indeed, but who would be so suspicious?" Liang Pengfei frowned tightly.
Liang Daguan, who was scolding and scolding, rolled his eyes: "Pengfei, did you say that it was the Red Flag Gang that did it for those rabbit cubs, didn't you tell me last time that Zheng Lianchang's son Zheng Yi wanted to marry Shi Xianggu, but was rejected." ”
"However, Shi Xianggu just refused, and she shouldn't have leaked out about me and her." Liang Pengfei shook his head and vetoed his father's conjecture.
Liang Daguan rolled his eyes. "Could it be that the Governor of Customs did it?"
"There is this possibility, this time, his nephew died, and he lost nearly one million taels of silver, and there is indeed a possibility of taking risks and wanting to take revenge for blood hatred." Liang Pengfei nodded and continued: "However, the one who feels the most suspicious is the Zheng family. ”
Hearing his son's words, Liang Daguan's face turned black: "Son, are you playing with your father?" Just now you said that it was not about the Zheng family, why do you say that they are the most suspicious now? ”
"Dad, I just thought of it, although Shi Xianggu will not leak my relationship with her, but the news that our Shiliang family has joined forces to resist the enemy...... It's hard to guarantee that the Zheng family, who is also a pirate of the Tan family, won't know. Liang Pengfei's words made Liang Daguan stunned.
"This reason makes sense, then the Zheng family really wants to swallow the Shi family, these two Guang, but his Zheng family is dominant, where can he go in the world?" Liang Daguan's eyes are also very vicious.
"I think it's because they only think that our old Liang family and the Shi family are a temporary cooperative relationship, if they borrow the name of the Shi family to attack Xin'anying, not only provoke the relationship between our Liang family and the Shi family, but also arouse the anger of the court, the strength of the Shi family is naturally not enough to fight on both sides, then, even if the Shi family does not ask for help, after the Zheng family, who is also a pirate of the Tan family, reaches out......" Liang Pengfei's face became more and more gloomy.
"What a Zheng Lianchang, with such a scheming, he is worthy of being a great figure who is in charge of tens of thousands of subordinates of the Red Flag Gang." Liang Daguan laughed strangely, and there was a cold killing intent hidden in his eyes.
--------------------
"But all this is just our speculation, we can't do it, we can only know the truth after my son returns to Xin'an camp and understands the ins and outs of the matter." Liang Pengfei stood up and took a deep breath, although he hated to wave the knife in his hand at his compatriots, but if he had to protect his own interest group and ensure that his ideals could continue to develop steadily, he must rely on the knife in his hand to maintain a safe environment.
"All the stepping stones that stand in my way, they will only end up in one." Liang Pengfei looked at the bloody remnant sun outside the window, and said lightly.
Liang Daguan looked at his son whose face was covered with the halo of the sunset, and on that young and handsome face, there were things and emotions that he had never seen before, and his words that seemed to be talking to himself were like thunder in the hearts of Liang Daguan.
Liang Yuanxia opened his mouth, but in the end, he shook his head and stopped talking, at this moment, he found that he seemed to be unable to see through this adult son.
"I've grown up and have my own opinions." Liang Yuanxia seems to have a sense of aging, and similarly, his heart is full of an indescribable expectation, perhaps, his son's goal is far higher than he imagined, and it is even farther...... It's so far away that I don't even dare to think about it.
"He's my son after all, and I'm naturally on his side." When Liang Yuanxia left, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, very satisfied.
"Please forgive your sins." Mr. Wu Qian, a cadre of soldiers, and the seven patrolmen who had escaped death and were still wrapped in bloodstained gauze all hung their heads gloomily.
Liang Pengfei, who had just rushed back to the Xin'an camp, jumped off the boat, and when he saw these people, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, his heart hardened, and he had a cold face, and dragged Wu Qianzong up: "Get up, get up for Lao Tzu, what are you doing?" Do you think that if you kneel down to me, our enemies will bow their knees and surrender? Can the lives of our seventy-five dead brothers be recovered?! Answer me! ”
"No!" Wu Liang replied in a deep voice.
"My ears are a little back, I can't hear what you're talking about, Mr. Wu Qian, can you be louder?!" Liang Pengfei's wild gaze swept over the soldiers who had already raised their heads to look at him, his majestic figure was as tall as the undefeated god of war, and the roar would be eclipsed even by the thunder in the sky. "And you, your voice is hoarse, or your ears are deaf, answer me!"
