Chapter 224: Suspicion (1)

Kong Sheng took the lead, and more than 100 cavalry escorted him, and burst out.

The group of refugees was seized by the momentum of the official army, and retreated in fear, until they retreated more than 100 meters before standing in a chaotic group, far away from Kong Sheng's more than 100 heavily armed cavalry troops.

Kong Sheng patted the chasing wind, and chased the wind forward for more than ten meters and stopped.

Kong Sheng laughed loudly on the horse and said: "This official is Kong Sheng, the overseer of Henan and the general of the rangers, what do you want to see this official?" ”

After a moment of confusion, a middle-aged man in his thirties was promoted, he strode forward, stood tall, bowed to Kong Sheng, and behaved with extraordinary bearing.

Kong Sheng stared at this person with a smile on his face. There is also no shortage of elite figures in the refugee group, and looking at the shape of this person, it should be someone who has read books and has some knowledge, or it is a squire from a certain place.

"In Xia Ji Ze, the Lu County people's clan, meet Kong Overseer!"

Kong Sheng nodded slightly: "You don't need to be polite, you explain the process concisely, if it is really the official army who did evil, this official will definitely find out the truth and give the people an explanation!" ”

Ji Ze snorted, and explained the matter to Kong Sheng unhurriedly. Yesterday night, more than a dozen soldiers dressed in official and military uniforms but covered with black veils, armed with bright steel knives, wantonly looted property in the refugee settlements.

If it was just a robbery, it probably wouldn't have caused such a big reaction.

The group of people stole a lot of property from the refugees, and as they were leaving, one of them stumbled upon a handsome young woman. Bad intentions. And they took the woman captive and raped her. Afterwards, the woman was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide.

This woman is also from Lu County, and Ji Ze is a fellow villager, surnamed Zhangminghui, followed her husband Mao Ye and fled to Xiayi with two young girls, but unexpectedly suffered a catastrophe. Ji Ze couldn't get angry, so he stood up to avenge Zhang Hui.

Kong Sheng listened. said lightly: "Ji Ze, what evidence do you have to prove that it must have been done by the official army?" There are nearly 10,000 refugees outside the city, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is possible that there are lawless people who pretend to be officials and soldiers to do evil and discredit the government. ”

Ji Ze's emotions became slightly excited: "Lord Overseer, Ji Ze saw it with his own eyes, those people were dressed in purple, although they had no armor. But wearing military boots in the official and military standards, how can it be someone else's fake? And. When they did evil, someone took off their veils, and I remember that filthy and shameless face clearly, and I would surely recognize it! ”

Ji Ze waved his hand, and the two people walked out with a wooden board carrying a corpse, kneeling in front of Kong Sheng with a sad face.

On the door lay a young woman with a delicate and pale face, a gray dress, and a large mass of shocking blood and wounds on her chest, which obviously indicated that the woman had committed suicide.

Two girls stumbled out of the refugee crowd, crying and screaming. A young man who looked like he was five or six years old, a young man who looked two or three years old, and a haggard face described as grief, ran out in a panic to bring the two girls back.

The five or six-year-old girl stumbled on her feet and was about to fall.

The red shadow around Kong Sheng flashed, and Nie Chuchen's figure swept off the horse's back, like a glimpse, and he hugged the girl in his arms and comforted him softly.

"Auntie! Slave slave wants Niang!! ”

The girl wept loudly in Nie Chuchen's arms. At this time, Nie Chuchen's heart became extremely soft in the face of such a miserable and desperate girl, and she gently patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her.

The girl was appeased for a long time before she gradually calmed down, she fell on Nie Chuchen's shoulder, looking at everything around her in fear, especially the official army behind Kong Sheng.

Nie Chuchen looked at Ji Ze.

Ji Ze sighed lightly, waved his hand again, and hurriedly asked people to carry the woman's body away.

Nie Chuchen's voice was slight but cold: "Are you sure that the person who committed the murder is wearing purple clothes and official military boots?" Are you sure you can recognize the killer? ”

Ji Ze didn't know who this charming woman in red was, but if she could accompany Kong Sheng, she must also be from the official mansion. He silently said, "Yes, I can be sure of it - Lord Overseer, please call the shots for me and the others!" ”

A group of refugees fell to their knees in unison, crying out, "Please Lord Overseer be the master of our people!" ”

Nie Chuchen looked up at Kong Sheng with the girl in his arms, his eyes rolling.

In the official army outside the city, only those who were born in Hongze Shui Kou wore purple clothes. Although they are now incorporated into the official army, due to the shortage of resources in the Xiayi army, it is difficult to equip their subordinate soldiers with uniform military uniforms and armor, so most of the Hongze Shui Kou still maintain their original uniforms.

If this is the characteristic, then it is basically the scum of those people.

Behind Kong Sheng, Nangong Wangzai cleared his throat on the horse, and took the initiative to ask: "Overseer, leave this matter to the mountain people to investigate, I will definitely find out." ”

Kong Sheng glanced at Nangong with a smile and nodded: "It's troublesome Senior Brother Nangong." There are only two battalions of infantry battalion and recruit battalion in the official army outside the city, Senior Brother Nangong, you take this person to the barracks to identify them one by one, if you recognize that the person who committed the crime is indeed an official soldier, then this official will personally deal with it and give you an explanation. ”

Kong Sheng pointed at Ji Ze, and then looked around at the group of refugees in front of him and said loudly.

Nangong Wang took more than a dozen people, together with Ji Ze, and went to the infantry camp first, to identify the murderer.

Nie Chuchen put down the girl in his arms, touched her head with pity, and then let her run back to her father. Nie Chuchen immediately raised his head and exchanged a knowing look with Kong Sheng, his figure swept by, flew off the horse, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the red horse under her crotch rushed towards the camp of the infantry battalion like lightning.

In fact, there is no need to investigate at all, and it can be basically concluded that it was done by someone from Hong Ze Shuikou. Among the refugees, there may be people with ill intentions and people who are trying to fish in troubled waters, but I am afraid that they do not have the courage to openly gather crowds to call out the government.

This little thing, if Nangong Wang does it, it will definitely be done. But this group of people is from Nangong Wang's subordinates, although Nangong Wang will not cover up for personal gain, but he will definitely have some scruples. Therefore, Kong Sheng hinted at Nie Chuchen's past. With Nie Chuchen's supervision, Nangong Wang could only do things more thoroughly.

By this time, Kong Sheng was on the verge of an outbreak.

After Hong Ze Shui Kou came to Xiayi, his style and habits were very different from those of the official army, although there were strict military discipline constraints, but the situation continued, although Kong Sheng did not regret the behavior of co-opting these people, but he also knew that it was time to kill a hundred people.

Kong Sheng turned over and dismounted, raised his head to the sky, and was silent.

The Wu Xie knife behind him gradually sensed that Kong Sheng's body was expanding and emitting a certain murderous aura a little bit.

Half an hour later.

Nie Chuchen was the first to gallop over, holding a large black and heavy package in his hand. When she got closer, she threw the parcel in her hand to the ground with a clatter, and the parcel spread out, revealing the gold and silver vessels and the bright golden copper coins.

The roar of the army's marching footsteps became more and more distinct, and after a short time, Tang Genshui led more than a thousand infantry soldiers to advance over, lined up outside the city, and then personally accompanied Nangong Wang and Ji Ze to escort more than a dozen dejected purple-clothed soldiers over.

Nangong Wang's face was very complicated.

Tang Genshui bowed to Kong Sheng and said ashamedly: "Lord Overseer, the last general is not strict, so that these dozen thieves have evil intentions, plundering and robbing the people's property, raping the people's daughters, and committing heinous crimes. In the end, there will be negligence, please punish the Overseers! ”

Tang Genshui was genuinely ashamed. Because these people are not only his subordinates, but also his brothers who used to eat in a cottage, and they were also born as water thieves. These men have sinned, and he is guilty.

Kong Sheng smiled indifferently: "Senior Brother Nangong, have you found out?" These are the people who did it? ”

Nangong looked at it and nodded with a calm face.

What a means Nangong Wang was, he took Ji Ze straight to the infantry battalion, accompanied by Tang Genshui, urgently summoned the group of people from Hong Ze Shui Kou, and Ji Ze identified them one by one, and quickly recognized one of them - in fact, it was the thief who raped the people's girl, surnamed Zhang Mingliang.

As soon as Nangong Wangluo was frightened into punishment, Zhang Liang bit out the other comrades in fear. This group of people was Meng Zan's subordinate who served as the head of the team, led by Zhang Liang, who went out at night to rob refugees and raped the people's girls halfway, which caused public resentment to boil.

At the same time, Nie Chuchen searched out the looted property of Zhang Liang and others from the barracks of the military camp.

Nangong Wang turned to look at Zhang Liang and the others who were tied up, and scolded angrily: "Don't kneel down and ask the Overseer for his guilt!" ”

"The villain is in a daze and sins for a while, please spare your life!" Zhang Liang and more than a dozen others trembled and fell to their knees, begging for mercy again and again.

Kong Sheng's face turned cold, he looked at Tang Genshui and said lightly: "Tang Genshui, as the chief general, the soldiers under your command robbed and harassed the people and raped the people's daughters, and the crime was serious, and you are responsible." This official will punish you with 20 rods, can you be convinced? ”

Tang Genshui bowed angrily: "The last general will be punished, willingly!" ”

Kong Sheng nodded, and said, "Where are these thieves' team?" ”

Tang Genshui raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the camp under his command. The team leader Meng Zan walked out with a pale face, and also bowed to Kong Sheng, and said in a trembling voice: "Villain Meng Zan, I have seen Lord Overseer. The villain is not strictly controlled, and it is really heartbreaking to let these thieves commit crimes and evil, and please punish the overseers! ”

Seeing that it was Meng Zan, Kong Sheng felt a wave of disgust for no reason.

He didn't have a good impression of Meng Zan, and now he has become even worse.

"You kneel to the side first, and the official will settle accounts with you later." Kong Sheng said coldly.

Meng Zan was ashamed and indignant, but he didn't dare to resist, got up and knelt aside.

At this time, Kong Sheng walked forward slowly and stood in front of more than a dozen people in front of Zhang Liang. These people looked at Kong Sheng in fear, their hearts fluttering with nervousness, not knowing what Kong Sheng would do with them. (To be continued.) )
