Chapter 131: The Way of the Man

ps: (Thank you for the tips from the book friends of "Tianshan White Stone" and "Party Command Gun"!) )

Two days later, on May 29, Yang Tinglin and Ma Jinzhong finally arrived in Guangzhou after exterminating the pro-Qing forces near Qingyuan. Originally, Ma Jinzhong thought that his men and horses would be able to catch up with the siege battle after arriving at the city of Guangzhou, but he didn't expect that the red flag had already been planted at the head www.biquge.info of the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Later, when he heard that Pang Yue and the two rebel armies had taken Guangzhou in less than two days and captured Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong, the loss in his heart turned into shock. Although this is the result of the joint battle of Pang Yue, Chen Youlong, Chen Zizhuang, and Zhang Jiayu's rebel army, due to previous experience, it is impossible for Ma Jinzhong not to guess the inside story, and the main role played in the capture of Guangzhou must be Pang Yue's Huguang Town soldiers and horses.

Although he admired Pang Yue's command talent and Huguang Town's strong combat effectiveness, he thought that he was not far from it even if it was bad, but now it seems that his previous opinion was wrong, at least with the same strength and the same conditions, he would not be able to take a fortified city like Guangzhou in two days anyway. However, the matter has come to this point, Ma Jinzhong has no choice but to gradually put away the little loss and jealousy in his heart, and only hopes that he can get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the next few days, and not let the achievements of his soldiers look too bleak compared with Huguang Town.

In the face of Guangzhou's recovery so quickly, Yang Tinglin was even more excited, and after seeing Pang Yue, Chen Youlong, Chen Zizhuang and others who went out of the city to greet him outside the Xiaobei Gate, there was no nonsense. directly asked Pang Yue to lead him into the city to see the captured Tong Yangjia, Li Chengdong and others.

Seeing Yang Tinglin's eagerness, Pang Yue did not delay any longer, and directly led him into the city to inspect the prisoners.

Now. Tong Yangjia, Li Chengdong and others are still locked up in the dungeon of the Dusi Yamen, with two bowls of gruel a day, no more and no less. Except when eating, the rest of the time, the mouth is firmly gagged to prevent it from scolding.

When he arrived at the gate of the Dusi Yamen, Yang Tinglin turned over and dismounted with an agility that was extremely incommensurate with his age. Once again, he couldn't wait to ask Pang Yue: "Where are Tong and Li Eryu locked up?" Hurry up and take the officer to inspect it! ”

Pang Yue said: "Don't worry, my lord, it's coming soon." Those two were just ordinary goods, no different from ordinary prisoners. Why do adults need to be so concerned? ”

Hearing that Pang Yue was so disdainful of Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong, Yang Tinglin suddenly let out a hearty laugh, nodded and said, "Uncle Dingwu is reasonable!" It's just because those two thieves have always been notorious, but this time they were captured by Ding Wubo in one fell swoop. Come to think of it. The official couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. That's the gaffe! ”

Pang Yue smiled: "My lord's words are serious! In fact, when the two thieves were just caught, the last general was also so excited that he couldn't help himself. In addition, the adults are older, and there is really no need to be so polite to call the last general, just match the words of the last general! ”

"Good!" Yang Tinglin readily agreed, "That official will rely on the old and sell the old in the future, and call you Mu Yuan!" ”

At this time. Yang Tinglin's mood is really not lacking, although Guangzhou was won by Pang Yue. Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong were also captured by him, but as the governor of Liangguang, he also shouldered the responsibility of the superintendent, and the credit was also indispensable.

When he entered the Dusi Mansion and came to the dungeon, Yang Tinglin immediately saw Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong who were being held in two nearby cells, both of whom were tied up and sitting in the corner, their mouths tightly stuffed with rags.

Seeing Yang Tinglin, who was wearing a six-beam crown and wearing a second-grade brocade chicken group collar shirt, Li Chengdong suddenly became excited, glared angrily, and wanted to get up, but unfortunately his hands and feet were trapped and he couldn't succeed, so he had to half-lie on the ground and stare at a pair of blood-red eyes and yell, but because his mouth was blocked, he could only make some muffled sounds. Although Tong Yangjia next door was not as excited as Li Chengdong, he was also shouting, as if he had a thousand words to complain to Yang Tinglin.

Faced with this scene, Yang Tinglin suddenly frowned: "Li Yu has been reduced to a prisoner, and he dares to be so arrogant!" Take down the cloth from his mouth, and the official wants to listen, where is his confidence? ”

Pang Yue hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, don't do it! This guy is stubborn, and since he was captured, he has been holding his heart and saying crazy words, saying that it is the general trend to unify the world with the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and my Ming monarch and minister are just mantis arms as a car, and can only be crushed into ashes in the end! What's even worse is that this thief actually ......"

"What's going on?" Yang Tinglin asked.

Pang Yue said angrily: "This thief actually dares to insult Your Majesty and the ancestors of my Ming Dynasty, from Emperor Taizu's ancestors to Emperor Lie and Anzong, all kinds of foul language are really unbearable, such as ......"

"Presumptuous!" Before Pang Yue could finish speaking, Yang Tinglin was interrupted with a loud cry, and his hand pointing at Li Chengdong through the iron fence was also trembling slightly, and he said angrily: "This thief is really mad!" How dare you say such a rebellious remark! That's it, such a stubborn beast, even if he lets go of his mouth, he can't say anything in line with human ethics, so he will continue to block it! ”

"Yes, sir!" After Pang Yue finished speaking, he pointed to Tong Yangjia next door and continued, "And this Tong Yu, although he is not as crazy and rebellious as Li Yu, he is also delusional and daydreaming all day long, as if he is crazy. Originally, the last general didn't gag him, but who knew that he had become a prisoner under the stairs and still had the heart to persuade him to surrender, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he never said anything else, only persuaded the people around him to join the pseudo-Qing. Not only did he persuade the jailers and lower-level generals to surrender, but he actually wanted to persuade the last general to surrender just yesterday, saying that if the last general could wake up, he would definitely be a high-ranking official and have a bright future......

After Yang Tinglin heard this, he laughed angrily: "Is this guy really crazy?" To do such wishful thinking! Even so, the official didn't have time to listen to his boring words anymore. If not, I'm afraid that this official will also become the target of his persuasion, wouldn't it be shameful to spread it? ”

"What your lord says is very true!" Pang Yue smiled, "I wonder how the imperial court will deal with these two thieves?" ”

Yang Tinglin twisted his beard and said: "This official received an edict from His Majesty from Hengzhou a few days ago, saying that these two thieves are deeply guilty, and if they are caught, they will correct the law on the spot, and the first level will be circulated in all provinces. ”

"That's the case, that's great. These two thieves have evil retribution, and the souls of those innocent victims can also be soothed! Since the adults have seen these two thieves, it is better to leave first, this place is filthy and smells bad, so don't affect the mood of the adults. Pang Yue said.

"Alright! can see these two captives arrested with their own eyes, and the official will be relieved! Mu Yuan, you have made a great contribution this time! ”

"Adults have won prizes!"

By the time Yang Tinglin and Pang Yue turned to leave, Tong Yangjia had completely collapsed to the ground and passed out, and Li Chengdong finally struggled to get up, climbed to the edge of the iron fence, and slammed into the fence while shouting hesitantly. But it's a pity that Yang Tinglin can't hear the movement here.

……

In the evening, Pang Yue, who was busy with other things, came to the dungeon again and first entered the cell where Li Chengdong was held. In order to prevent Li Chengdong from injuring people, Wei Yuan had already arranged for his soldiers to tie him to a wooden frame.

Pang Yue pulled up a chair and sat a few steps away from Li Chengdong, looking at this once invincible pseudo-Liangguang Admiral, the culprit of the Jiading Massacre, who had now been completely reduced to a prisoner on the board.

"Rip the cloth out of his mouth!" Pang Yue instructed, in order to prevent accidents, he also took a folding fan in his hand, first, to prevent heatstroke, and secondly, to prevent Li Chengdong from spitting in a hurry.

After the rags in his mouth were torn out, Li Chengdong first moved his numb upper and lower jaws, and then scolded: "You donkey day, a melon coward, a belly of conspiracy, and finally a rake, Lao Tzu will not let you go!" ……”

A few pro-soldiers next to him were about to step forward to stop them, Pang Yue waved his hand to stop them, and smiled at Li Chengdong: "Admiral Li has been here for several days, and I haven't had a good chat with Admiral Li, why do you speak ill of each other as soon as you meet?" ”

"Talk about your mother's hair!" Li Chengdong continued to roar, "You bastard, say one thing to your face and do another thing behind your back, you think you cover the sky with one hand, and you do it seamlessly!" But Lao Tzu will send you a message today, you make those indiscriminate tricks, one day you will be punished! ”

Pang Yue still had a smile on his face, crossed Erlang's legs, and didn't seem to take Li Chengdong's foul words to heart: "Okay! Since Admiral Li also knows this truth, then don't blame God, and don't blame anyone anymore! At that time, when you picked up the butcher's knife at the people in Jiading and other places, you should have thought that you would suffer such retribution today. Well, I won't mention anything like this in front of Admiral Li again. There are two main things to do today, the first is to inform Admiral Li that you will be on your way at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and the location is at the street corner near the Governor's Palace. As for the way, I respect Admiral Lee's hobbies, and I don't care about it, well... This is also called treating others the way they would be. I hope that Admiral Li can be mentally prepared, so as not to die unprepared. ”

Li Chengdong was stunned at first, and then scolded again, the scolding words were much the same, it was nothing more than becoming a demon and coming to Pang Yue to settle accounts.

Pang Yue didn't speak, quietly watched Li Chengdong's last madness, until he scolded so numb that his voice gradually became quieter, then he shook his head, and said after a sigh of two words: "I thought that Admiral Li was also a powerful person on the side of the court, and he could scold any impassioned and thought-provoking words, but I didn't expect that it would be no different from the abuse of a village woman in the countryside, which is really sad and lamentable!" That's it, since Admiral Li is tired of scolding, then let me come! Let me talk about this second thing, and secondly, I have to thank Admiral Li for preparing so much silver for me in advance, which can be regarded as a relief for me and the soldiers under my command! Admiral Li has been fooling around all his life, and he has done a good thing at the end! ”

"Phew!" Li Chengdong spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and Pang Yue raised his fan and flashed his head sideways.

Li Chengdong then changed his angry face, laughed wildly for a while, and said coldly: "I already knew that you were going to steal Lao Tzu's silver!" But don't worry, what Lao Tzu lost, you can't even dream of it! (To be continued.) )
