Chapter 69: Gratitude and Kindness
Liu Yanqing suddenly burst into smoke, his face jumped with anger, and his fists were clenched to the bone, but he never hit it again.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death, so I can't explain it, right? Ha ha! Chu Tianya laughed loudly, but the blood in his mouth kept flowing.
"Yes, I can't let you die." Liu Yanqing gritted his teeth, "But I can abolish you!" β
"Then you can do whatever you want." Chu Tianya still grinned and sneered, and said lightly, "One day, ten times the reward will be returned-let's see!" β
Liu Yanqing saw the expression of Chu Tianya, who was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and suddenly felt a chill for no reason, and said in his heart: I have seen a lot of cheap bones who are not afraid of death or beating, but I have never seen someone like him who is not afraid of death and is so hard! β¦β¦ I heard that this kid has a wide road in the rivers and lakes and green forests in the east of the river, and it is difficult to avoid hidden arrows with open guns; Right now, I'm being avenged for venting my anger, and I'm being watched by assassins all day long, but it's not worth it!
Chu Tianya has not been in the Shengjie army for a long time, and he has never intersected with Liu Yanqing. But he is no stranger to him, of course, these are records of him from later historical sources. Judging from his deeds, this man is a paper tiger who deceives good and fears evil. The more they are afraid of him and beg him, the more arrogant and domineering people like him become. On the contrary, if you fight him to the end, he will be weak-hearted.
This can also be regarded as Chu Tianya, who has been exposed to all kinds of teachings and nine streams in the society when handling cases in the police force in the past, and has accumulated "experience in the rivers and lakes"!
"You kid, you're really treacherous. No wonder the master repeatedly told me to put you in prison, and I didn't want to fall for the tricks of your words and provocations. Liu Yanqing wiped the mustache on the side of his mouth and said with a cold smile, "But no matter how treacherous the fox is, it can't escape the hunter's palm after all." Chu Tianya, you're finished! Do you know what I'm going to do with you next? β
Chu Tianya sneered indifferently, "A despicable person like you naturally can't use any glorious means. Recruit yourself, don't waste my saliva. β
Liu Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly became angry, "Now you are the prisoner under the ranks, and it is you who want to confess - say, where did the fugitive county lord of the Liao State who conspired with you go?" And where is the old thief who follows you and kills people like hemp? - If you tell the truth, you will save yourself the pain of flesh and skin; If you don't fight to death, hum...... To deal with a traitor like you, we don't have to be polite! β
When Chu Tianya heard his words, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: According to this, while Liu Yanqing was capturing me, he had already gone to my house to arrest Xiao Linglong and Uncle He, but he didn't succeed...... It's dangerous! It seems that Tong Guan has been staring at me for more than a day or two, so he has planned to do it today, and he is going to serve us in a pot!
Seeing that Chu Tianya was silent, Liu Yanqing was not in a hurry, he paced a few steps with his hands on his back, as if he was confident, and said slowly: "I have long expected that your cheap bone is not so easy to confess." But it doesn't matter, what kind of person is Taishi-Zhishen is like a generation of famous generals in the sea, how can there be no way to clean up this class of green forests and Xiaoxiao? β
Chu Tianya immediately smiled, "You are really a good dog; People like Tong Guan can be praised by you as a famous general! ββJust because of his Baigou fiasco, he bought back the empty city of Yanjing Mansion with all his treasury, and he is a famous general? β
"Ho, don't provoke me with words again, let me kill you." Liu Yanqing was not angry this time, he walked in front of Chu Tianya, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his eyes drooped into a pair of typical inverted triangular eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You will know right away, your fate!" - Someone, put this thief in the prisoner's car! β
Chu Tianya is too lazy to struggle, and he will not change everything, see what he does.
Several sergeants unloaded Chu Tianya from the pillar, pulled him outside the door and pushed him into a prisoner cart pulled by a war horse. The prisoner's cart was one man tall, shackled, and his hands and feet were tightly chained, revealing his head and bare outside.
Liu Yanqing walked to the side of the prisoner car and sneered: "Don't you have many brothers and a wide range of doors?" not only hooked up the bandits of Xishan and Taihang, but also entangled the remnants of the Liao State and fornicated with the Jurchens. This time, I will pull you to Taiyuan City and parade through the streets! But if anyone dares to come to your rescue, but what will happen if you don't confess? Sooner or later, it's all in one go! β
Chu Tianya has seen a lot of such tricks on TV, and he is not surprised that he uses them from someone like Liu Yanqing.
It's just that this trick is really ruthless. In case Uncle He, Xiao Linglong, as well as Meng De and the people of Taihang Seven Star Mountain knew, most of them would come to the rescue. As soon as the Taiyuan City Gate was closed, it fell into Liu Yanqing's trap!
"Pull it away, parade through the streets!" Liu Yanqing shouted, more than 100 ironclad soldiers surrounded the prisoner car in front and back, and someone knocked on the gong, and pulled Chu Tianya to the street!
It was almost noon, and there were many people in Taiyuan City, so it was lively.
The sergeant who struck the gong shouted loudly, saying that he had arrested the leader of the thieves who rebelled in Xishan, and the crowd showed that he was setting an example, and three days later, he was beheaded in public at the entrance of Tang Dynasty Street in the center of the city!
All the people watched, and naturally many of them recognized Chu Tianya, so they were surprised and whispered.
"Hey, isn't that the eldest of the Chu family?"
"Yes, it's Taibao! I heard that he didn't work in the prison city anymore, and he recently took refuge in the Shengjie army to eat the imperial grain, and when did he become a thief in the West Mountain? β
"Although that kid used to be arrogant and bullied us, he seems to have changed his temper recently, and he is not as nonsense as he used to be. Haven't we all seen it in the Star Picking Tower yesterday? He saved the prostitutes, and settled them to redeem themselves, and made a great promise to take the murderer's head and sacrifice the dead prostitute! β
"Yes! But he's a good man! Why was he caught? β
"Hey, these days, aren't you just a hero? So Liu Yanqing is a good thing? At the beginning of the Baigou ......"
"Forget it, silence. Hugh must be heard, or else he will think that we are complicit! β
β¦β¦
Liu Yanqing rode a big horse and walked in front, seeing that the reaction of the people was not as fierce as expected, no one came up to scold Chu Tianya, no one threw vegetable leaves, splashed dirty water, and no one came forward to stop and save people, not even jumping out to shout grievances and crying.
After swimming for a long time, there was no result, so I had to go home. Liu Yanqing was not annoyed, ordered that Chu Zhong was not allowed to eat, and also stripped off the clothes on his upper body, and dragged Chu Tianya out again in the afternoon, still parading the streets.
Chu Tianya stood up straight in the prison car shirtless, quietly looking at the onlookers, there was no shame or fear on his face, but he was hard and arrogant. It seems that this is not to catch him on the street to show off, but to show off the champion of high school.
"This thief embryo has a thick skin." Liu Yanqing saw Chu Tianya's expression, and his heart became more and more annoyed. He slowed down his horse a few steps behind, and whipped his whip down on Chu Tianya's head.
Chu Tianya had no way to hide, and ate these whips alive. Two blood marks were immediately left on his face.
"Stop it, don't hit him!"
At this time, a little girl suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Liu Yanqing's horse, kowtowing desperately.
"Okay, finally a fellow party jumped out - someone came and caught me!" Liu Yanqing shouted happily.
"General, the slave family is not a bandit, the slave family used to serve in the Quyuan Fang in the Shengjie army, and also advised the general to toast and offer singing and dancing. Don't you remember? The woman said.
Chu Tianya looked down with difficulty, it was the sister of the woman who was killed in the Star Picking Tower that day!
Passers-by laughed, saying that the general really didn't recognize people when he lifted his pants.
Liu Yanqing's face suddenly turned embarrassed, "cough...... You bitch, you dare to block the road, and you don't get out of the way! β
"Forgive your sins!" The woman cried and complained, "The little woman doesn't know if this Chu official is really a thief, but that day he was the master of the slave family's tragic death of his sister, arrested the murderer, buried the little sister, and ransomed my sister and other sisters." As the saying goes, no one has come to cry when the Chu officials are in prison, and no one has come to bring food to him...... Ask the general to be a slave and send a winter coat and a bowl of prison rice to the Chu officials! β
"Hugh has to stay here, don't get out yet!" Boss Liu Yanqing was impatient, "If you miss a lot, I will arrest you as an accomplice!" β
"Ask for the master, ask for the master!" The woman knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and kept kowtowing until her forehead was bleeding.
At this time, the passers-by next to him all sighed and discussed, saying that although this woman was not in the dust, she was so grateful, affectionate and righteous; This leading general is so embarrassed by a weak single woman, but he is also too mean and unkind!
At this time, Chu Tianya, who was in the prisoner car, said: "Girl, Chu thank you for your kindness, please go back!" β
"Nope! β¦β¦ Ask for the master, ask for the master! The woman still knelt in front of the horse and refused to go, and kowtowed desperately.
Liu Yanqing was hindered by the fact that there were many people, and he couldn't really do anything to this woman in public, so he was quite annoyed, so he threatened-"If you don't get out of the way, I will punish you for the crime of ramming the army, and trample on you!" β
"The general is to trample the slave family into a meat paste, as long as the slave family agrees to the slave family's invitation, the slave family will admit it!" The woman simply leaned over and threw herself on the ground, "Please step over!" β
"You! ......" Liu Yanqing suddenly became angry.
There were more and more onlookers, and the voices of discussion and dissatisfaction became louder. Everyone said one after another, it was a death row prisoner who was about to be decapitated, and when he was dying, he had to have his relatives send him a meal of decapitated wine and wine - this general was also unkind, it was simply inhumane!
"Okay, I'll allow you to give him winter clothes and prison food!" In desperation, Liu Yanqing had no choice but to compromise.
"Thank you, General!" The woman was overjoyed, got up and kowtowed a few times, then ran to the side of the prisoner car, grabbed the wooden fence of the prisoner cart and looked up at Chu Tianya, and said, "Chu officials, and later, the slave family will go and get you clothes, wine and food!" β
"Girl, why are you doing this? I'm a prisoner, and I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you. Chu Tianya sighed, "Didn't you let you return home from Liang, why are you still in Taiyuan?" β
"The little sister has not passed the first seven years, and the official's great favor has not been repaid, how can the slave family be willing to leave? Besides, the slave family is already alone and homeless, and there is nowhere to go. The woman's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she bit her lip and sobbed, "Chu Guanren said something that is even more involved." The slave was born a lowly person, and he had already lived in the world without conscience. Chu Guanren is the reborn parent of the slave family. Even if he returned such a life to the Chu officials, what did it matter? β¦β¦ It's just that good people don't have good rewards, but Chu officials also fall into such a situation. β
"I'm just going to let you send some prison clothes and prison food, and don't talk much!" Liu Yanqing shouted impatiently.
"Chu officials, please wait...... The slave family will come when they go! The woman wiped her tears and ran away with her skirt in her hand.
"The same party has not booby-trapped one, but it has attracted an eventful!" Liu Yanqing took a sip and swallowed a mouthful of resentment, and waved the horsewhip, "Let's go, continue to parade the streets!" β
The sergeants pulled the prisoner cart and continued to move forward, still shouting along the street, attracting hundreds of onlookers.
Soon after, the woman returned, with a thick velvet cloak and a vegetable basket containing a bottle of wine, a cooked chicken, and a large plate of mutton and rice.
"Please ask the general to grant the slave family, put on winter clothes for him, and feed him in prison!" The woman knelt in front of Liu Yanqing's horse again.
"Could it be that this team of people will not be able to stay for you?" Liu Yanqing said angrily, "You climb up to deliver clothes and meals by yourself, and you will parade the streets with him!" β
"Xie Jiangye!" The woman thanked her with gratitude and climbed into the prisoner's car with great difficulty. The procession continued to move forward, beating gongs and drums and shouting loudly, attracting more and more passers-by to watch.
Chu Tianya stood upright in the prisoner car, his hands and feet were shackled, and he couldn't move at all. The woman stood behind him and laboriously slipped the cloak out of the bar, and then went around his neck to tie him, sweating profusely, and the skin of her arms and backs of her hands was worn by the rough wooden posts of the bar.
Just when the woman was tying Chu Tianya's cloak, she intentionally or unintentionally stroked the end of the cloak rope on his face three times repeatedly. Chu Tianya's heart was excited, and he took a closer look at the finger-wide tether, which seemed to contain something, and the tail end could also be revealed.
At this time, the woman had already walked around to Chu Tianya, with a quiet and gentle smile on her face, raised the wine bottle and said to Chu Tianya: "Chu official, please drink full!" β
Chu Tianya looked at her eyes, and suddenly realized that there was really another mystery!
