Chapter 2 Breaking the Deadlock
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were generally respected, and the status of Wenchen and military generals was absolutely different, especially after Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, this disparity was even more reflected.
Imagine, Mao Wenlong's official to the left is the chief military officer of Pingliao, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, no one can stand out from the right, Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and the superintendent Ji Liao is just a civil official of the second grade, and as a civil official, he can directly lead Mao Wenlong, holding the Shang Fang sword given by Emperor Chongzhen, and directly killed Mao Wenlong, who was also holding the Shang Fang sword, without going through the report. It can be seen that the status of the Ming Dynasty's civil servants and military generals is not at the same level at all.
The two sergeants on horseback were stunned for a moment when they heard Su Tiancheng say that he was a scholar, and the one behind them looked around, and did not see anyone else for the time being, but the vegetation here is luxuriant, who knows if there is someone hiding behind the grass and trees in the road.
It doesn't matter much if you kill a few homeless people, but if you kill a scholar, the nature is different.
"It turned out that we were scholars, and we were the sergeants of Ningzhou Wei, and we were ordered by the commander to go to Pingyang Mansion to help suppress the bandits."
The remaining three sergeants came on horseback, and two of the war horses had a lot of human heads tied to their tails, which looked extremely bloody and terrifying.
Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, and he had already seen that there were three sergeants talking quietly on horseback, and the eyes of one of them revealed viciousness.
The other two sergeants were staring at him all the time.
"This is the countryside of Pingyang Fucheng, close to Xiangling County, the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang and Wang Zishun invaded Pingyang Mansion in the first half of the year, all of them are active in this generation, Jizhou, Taiping, Quwo, Zhaocheng, Hongtong and other areas, there are rogues everywhere, you are a scholar, why did you come here."
This question is very level, and the implication is that Su Tiancheng is not a scholar at all, he is a rogue, and he should be killed.
Su Tiancheng himself couldn't explain it.
He had already discovered that the eyes of the interrogating sergeant revealed a murderous aura.
A cold sweat broke out on Su Tiancheng's head, facing the five sergeants on horseback, he had great ability, and he couldn't help it, on the contrary, it was easy for people to kill themselves.
Xiucai met the soldiers, and he couldn't explain it reasonably, could it be that he had just crossed over, and he was going to return to his hometown again.
The murderous aura in the other party's eyes has been revealed, Su Tiancheng clenched his fists, his figure is good, in desperation, he can only fight to the death, killing one is enough, killing two will be earned, Nima's, he has never killed anyone in his life.
"Young master, young master, how did you get here......
A small guy came running behind, not very old and handsome, and saw Su Tiancheng and the sergeant confronting each other.
When the little guy saw the human head on the horse's tail, his face turned white instantly, and his body kept trembling.
A series of impressions quickly appeared in Su Tiancheng's mind, the little girl's name was Su Ertong, and he was the adopted son of Su Tiancheng's mansion. The so-called adopted sons, that is, Su Ertong's father and mother, are all descendants of the Su Mansion, and Su Ertong has belonged to the Su family since the day he was born, and his identity is the same as that of a slave.
"Ertong, the scenery here is good, I met a few military masters and are suppressing bandits, fortunately thanks to them, otherwise I don't know if I can see you in Lu Dao, by the way, Su Jun and they are more than a dozen people, and they are still behind."
Su Ertong looked at Su Tiancheng, and even saw the human head on the horse's tail, dumbfounded, the huge variance and fright, so that he couldn't open his mouth at all, he could only nod his head Mu Ran, what does the young master mean by this, where is there anyone behind.
When several sergeants heard these words, their expressions changed, the other party was really a scholar, and the conditions at home were not bad, and there were many people with them, but fortunately they didn't act rashly just now.
However, they won't let go of each other easily, everything has been seen by this scholar, if it spreads out, maybe their head will fall to the ground, since they are scholars, they have no power to tie the chicken, it's not a big deal, it's going to be dark soon, you can kill it if you find a chance, maybe you can get a lot of money.
Seeing that the other party's murderous intent slowly dissipated, Su Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, although the danger existed, it had passed for the time being. He had already discovered that the sergeant he was talking to was the leader of the group of sergeants, maybe a small banner.
We must find a way to get through this crisis.
In an instant, Su Tiancheng had an idea, he restrained his vigilance, and showed a casual smile again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is Su Tiancheng, a student of Pingyang Mansion, the word Kunyuan, I am a little bored at home, I came out for a few days, I walked around, I just saw the bandits, I was so scared that I hid in the grass, if it weren't for the sergeants, I'm afraid it would be troublesome, thank you here."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he bowed to a few sergeants.
"I traveled out of the next place, and I also brought some silver taels, but they were all kept by the next people, if you don't dislike it, when the next person comes, you must be rewarded in the next place."
Hearing that Su Tiancheng was carrying silver, several people's eyes lit up, what was the purpose of killing good and risking merit, it was not silver, I couldn't imagine that this Su Tiancheng was so stupid, saying that he was carrying silver.
A few people exchanged glances.
The sergeant who had spoken earlier continued to speak.
"It turns out that Su Gongzi is a student, I am offended, we rushed from Zezhou to Pingyang Mansion City, all because of the rogues in Shaanxi, and they went to Pingyang Mansion to make trouble, and it is our duty to exterminate the rogues."
Su Tiancheng had a smile of joy and reverence on his face.
"I am a scholar below, I heard that the Liukou invaded Xiangling, Jizhou, Quwo, Hongtong, Fenxi, Shilou, Yonghe and many other places in Pingyang Prefecture, and I was angry in my heart, I hated to serve in the army, kill the Liukou with my own hands, and serve my Daming, I feel honored to see you heroes today, and I must express my gratitude."
These words blurted out, Su Tiancheng himself felt sour, how can a reader taste like this, he speaks in a roundabout way.
A smile finally appeared on the faces of several sergeants, perhaps they felt that when they met Sour Xiucai, who didn't know anything, he didn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, didn't know people's hearts, didn't know the danger, and dealt with such a Xiucai, where did they need to make a big move, got the silver, and killed it together with Xiucai's followers, if there was a maid, they could enjoy it.
After waiting for a while, the person has not yet come.
Su Tiancheng pretended to be anxious and spoke to Su Ertong again.
"Ertong, why hasn't Su Jun come yet, this dog ......"
Before the word slave could be spoken, Su Tiancheng stopped, now it is the Ming Dynasty, and there are only servants and subordinates.
Seeing that Su Tiancheng was in a hurry, but he couldn't say the scolding words, several sergeants laughed again.
The sergeant who spoke earlier even walked to Su Tiancheng's side, stretched out his right hand, and patted Su Tiancheng's shoulder.
Of course, if this was in the city, he wouldn't dare to do this, anyway, this Xiucai, in his eyes, was already a dead man.
"Master Su, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you wait."
Su Tiancheng restrained the smile on his face, the opportunity was basically ripe, the sergeant on the opposite side had no murderous aura on his body, and he was about to make a move.
"Emperor Shengming, send all the sergeants to Pingyang Mansion to exterminate the Liukou and keep one side safe, and the next is a scholar, who has received the emperor's grace, and has nothing to repay, so on behalf of the scholar, he salutes the military masters."
After speaking, Su Tiancheng lifted the hem of the brocade robe and prepared to kneel and salute.
The kneeling of the scholar is very particular, the prince of heaven and earth, in addition to these, the rest cannot afford the kneeling of the reader. The sergeant on horseback, no matter what, did not dare to hold it up like this.
In other words, when Su Tiancheng knelt down, the sergeant on the opposite side, the leader would come over to excuse himself, and the rest would also kneel on the ground and return the salute, this was the opportunity.
All five sergeants dismounted and stood in a row.
"Su Gongzi, don't do this, we can't afford it."
Su Tiancheng knelt down without hesitation.
The moment he knelt down, his heart was full of bitterness, he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and the first thing he did was kowtow, what kind of thing is this, but at the moment of life and death, in order to survive, what can't be done.
However, this kneeling down is not such a simple thing, it is regarded as kneeling for the dead.
Su Tiancheng knelt down, and the four sergeants also clenched their fists and knelt on one knee.
This is a standard military salute.
Only the sergeant who spoke did not kneel, and walked over with a smile on his face, ready to support Su Tiancheng.
Everything was expected.
