Chapter 50: I'm a Storyteller, I'll Tell You a Story
Chen Jincai's words made everyone outside calm down all of a sudden, and they only now remembered that what was standing in front of them was a master who had a mountain of human lives in his hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I guess he can't even remember how many people died at his hands!
However, it is undeniable that most of the people who died at his hands were some people who committed the most heinous crimes, mostly!
And some of them died extremely miserably, and they were extremely miserable!
They still remember the scene when the bandit leader, who liked to eat human flesh, especially women's and children's flesh, sliced the meat from his body and put it in his mouth.
Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's not from that cottage, but everyone has the habit of drinking and bragging, and it hasn't been long since everyone came here that they have an understanding of what happens on the cottages, especially those that are very shocking.
For example, it is very shocking to let the raw slices of his own flesh that loves to eat human flesh, and eat it when he is sober.
Now the residents of this city, Chen Jincai's prestige in their hearts is unmatched.
It's good that he didn't show up, and there are still people who dare to shout, but as soon as he appeared in front of these people, these seven or eight hundred people suddenly became dead.
"Sir! We're just trying to survive! Survive! As long as you hand over those three people and hand over your family wealth, we will live! ”
A voice suddenly appeared in the silence of the scene, and immediately attracted everyone's attention to him, and he was startled, and then immediately hid in the crowd.
Hiding in the crowd is the best way to hide, but if the people around him don't cooperate, it will make him as eye-catching as a firefly in the dark night.
Because, no matter where he wanted to hide, the people around him would suddenly disperse and stay away from him.
Later, he stopped hiding because no matter where he went, people would recede like a tide, and he couldn't hide.
Anyway, he couldn't hide, so he simply stood forward, standing there with his waist straight and his neck really bowing to Chen Jincai, that gaze was very presumptuous!
Chen Jincai suddenly felt very interesting, it has been a long time, I don't know how long I haven't seen someone who dares to look directly at him, and besides, this is still a resident of the city, which is even more rare!
But is this really the inhabitants of this city?
Chen Jincai smiled, laughed very happily, he was still thinking about how to tell the residents about it, how to make others believe it, but now the other party actually came to the door by himself!
That's fine! In this way, for the other party, it is always more popular than what he says bitterly, and it is more understandable.
The man didn't say anything when he saw Chen Jincai, he just laughed there, and his heart was a little flustered when he laughed, feeling that if he didn't do something, it would seem to be very bad.
So he cried out, "What are you laughing at?" Am I not right? What's wrong with you handing over these three people and handing over your wealth to save the lives of all the people of our city? Do you disregard our lives for the sake of your family's wealth? ”
Chen Jincai gradually stopped laughing, did not look at the person, but smiled and said to everyone: "For a long time, some people say that the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty do not have this idea and consciousness of secrecy, it is said to be exaggerated, as long as the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is lucky to have a concubine in the palace, the palace of the Liao Kingdom will know in three days!" ”
"The court of the Great Song Dynasty has made a decision, and it will definitely appear on the Dragon Case of the Liao Emperor in two days!"
"It is said that the Great Song Dynasty god of war Di Qing Di Hanchen, who was forced to die of fear by the Great Song Dynasty, did not dare to send the military order outside the camp tent when the time came, for fear of leaking secrets!"
"Of course, what I said above is just a joke, but through these jokes, it can be seen that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have done a very poor job of guarding against secret spies, very poorly!
And although we have established a foundation in Wangjiabao and a foundation at the junction of these three forces, in fact, we are all Han people from the Song Dynasty.
Even if you turned out to be a thief in the Song Land, you are not allowed to be allowed by the government or the people, but you cannot deny that you are from the Song Land! ”
"So your defense against secret agents is really poor, now, let me ask you, there are so many of you here, do you know this person who is still stirring up your emotions just now? Have it? ”
Hearing Chen Jincai's question, everyone present looked at me, I looked at you, but no one stood up and said that they knew him.
"What if no one knows me? Am I wrong? As long as you hand over these three men and hand over your wealth to the horse thief, we will be fine, and everyone in our city will be fine! ”
The man was still talking stiffly, and Chen Jincai looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you know where the residents of our city come from? They are ordinary bandits that I attacked and moved from hill to mountain, and there were quite a few people on each hill.
And now, none of the people here recognize you, what else can you say? Who else could you be other than those horse thieves out there?
Also, you didn't come alone, did you? You alone can't stir up the emotions of so many people, so let's talk about how many accomplices you have? ”
"What accomplices? What kind of work, you didn't target me and wronged me because I was a bird!
I tell you, I'm not afraid of you! For everyone's safety, I'm not afraid of you! Say what you have to say! ”
The man was still defending himself, but he noticed that the eyes of the people around him were full of malice.
"Do you know him? What hill is he from? Is it from our mountain? A man asked an acquaintance around him.
The acquaintance shook his head: "It's not from our mountain, Lou Thirteen, is it from your mountain?" ”
"It's not! How can there be such a heroic figure in our mountain, and dare to speak loudly to Mr., if there is really such a person, how can we not know the truth! ”
"We don't have ...... on the mountain"
"Ours don't have ...... either"
The confirmation questions and answers made the thin face more and more ugly and uneasy.
Chen Jincai smiled and looked at the helpless appearance of the person in the field, and said loudly to everyone: "Actually, there should be a lot of secret spies hiding among you, I could have made them all stand up."
But let yourself find them out, and you will trust your judgment more! ”
"Now, you find your own mountain, and every person on the mountain finds his own partner, all of them are from the same mountain, not to mention that you don't know the people of your own mountain, then the rest is those who are fine!
So, start looking! ”
In fact, there were not many people of seven or eight hundred, and they were suddenly separated into a pile of more than a dozen people, and only five or six people were left standing alone in the middle of the field, with a look of horror on their faces!
No one knows them, no one is on the same hill as them, that is, they are all spies!
With a shout, these five or six people rushed to the house not far away like rabbits with their tails burned, and they were very skilled, and it seemed that those who could be scouts were masters!
However, their choice was wrong, a bowstring sounded, arrows flew like rain, and one by one crossbowmen flashed on the surrounding roofs, and what they held in their hands was an imitation of the divine arm crossbow from the Great Song Dynasty.
Six people, nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows, like a few rabbits still kicking their legs, screamed so fiercely that their bodies were convulsing.
The crossbowmen are all good hands, and those who can follow Chen Jincai are all selected from the hundreds of guards, whether it is one in a thousand, it can be regarded as one in a hundred.
There is nothing to say about the work in hand, not to mention that the divine arm crossbow is not a difficult weapon to use.
The strings of the crossbow are relatively slow, but if there are a few crossbows with good strings and arrows around, then there is no such thing as slowness.
The movements of the meticulous workers were very fast, and they moved quickly, and Chen Jin had ordered the crossbowmen in advance not to kill them and to keep them alive.
Each crossbowman has a few crossbowmen with good strings around them, and the result is that they are not called archery, but splashing water.
It's too much of an exaggeration to say that it's splashing water, but if it's a rain of arrows, it's absolutely not an exaggeration.
All the crossbow arrows are all greeted by the lower three ways of these fine works, and all the small works are full of crossbow arrows from the thighs downwards without exception.
Only two were unlucky, and perhaps the crossbowman who shot them was a little nervous, and his hand was raised a little higher, and he shot directly at their stomachs.
Needless to say, these two people were unlucky enough to survive, Chen Jincai could still save them if he wanted to, but he didn't want to.
Because saving them requires the consumption of their own few anti-inflammatory drugs, there are not many, and no matter how kind you are, you will not be able to consume your own life-saving drugs for the enemy.
Walking over slowly, Chen Jin pulled out the big sword in his hand and gently slashed through the throats of the two people who were hit by arrows in the stomach, since he can't live, let's go happily!
Dodging the spray of blood, he walked to the third man.
Seeing people's lives as grass mustard, Chen Jincai will not feel a sense of disobedience.
Although the white scribe's uniform made Chen Jincai look very elegant and gentle, I don't know why, when the people around him looked at him, they saw that the blood was like a sea, and the killing intent was compelling!
Chen Jincai's voice was as pleasant as the Nine Heavens Immortal, and it even made people ignore that someone had just been killed here.
"What are you here for? Tell me! “
Chen Jincai's voice was very soft, but it was irresistible, at least now these people who were nailed to the ground couldn't resist.
So even though they spoke intermittently, they succeeded in explaining the meaning of their coming.
They came to disrupt the city, for they had only 5,000 cavalry, and they had not brought much siege equipment.
And siege warfare, attacking the heart first, as secret spies, what they have to do is to come in and disturb people's hearts, and even take the opportunity to open the city gate if possible.
However, because the city gate here was well guarded by Yang Zhi, they had no chance, so they came to provoke in the crowd.
Almost made them succeed!
Chen Jincai didn't ask them what kind of force they were, and of course they didn't say anything.
He only asked, if he really handed over the money, would the horse thief really release the residents of the city?
All the answers to these meticulous works are no, a net has been laid out outside, and nothing that happens here can be passed on a word!
So the people here are destined to leave no one behind.
Chen Jincai didn't ask about releasing people or not, he knew that these people were all members of the old breeder's family, and they were definitely not there to save people.
He still wants to make a cut off these three people, so he doesn't ask the first half of this question.
Because no matter what the answer is, it doesn't do any good.
I got what I wanted from the fine work, all the crossbow arrows were roughly pulled out, and a pack of shoddy gold creation medicine pressed hard on the wound made those fine works scream miserably!
Then a thick chain was chained and dragged to the cell.
After dealing with these details, Chen Jincai did not speak again, but turned around indifferently and went back to the lobby.
I don't even have the meaning of looking around.
Everyone knows that this time it hurt Chen Jincai's heart, but just a few small works, they were provoked to rebel.
It's good to say that they can let themselves live if they are reversed, but when they find out that even if they are reversed, or if they succeed in opposing Chen Jincai, what they get is not a chance to live, they know that their group of people are stupid!
And they also know that even if it is really the opposite, their seven or eight hundred people are no different from paper paste in front of Chen Jincai.
However, Chen Jincai reasoned with them!
It makes them feel so unhuman!
In fact, it doesn't matter if he is sad or not, Chen Jin knows what his position is in the hearts of these people!
It is a leader with strong means, who turns them back from the status of bandits back to peasants, or people with normal status.
Give them jobs to work, give them some barren land, let them earn money, that's all!
But if you want to say that you have any kindness to them, it's farting!
Who are these people?
They used to be bandits, no matter what the reason for them said they fell into the grass, but bandits are bandits!
Will they be grateful for this?
No! Of course, they don't think of themselves as their benefactors, and some people may think that it is better to be a thief than a common man!
returned to the lobby, sat back behind the big case in the hall, looked down at the three people below, didn't want to talk any more nonsense about them, and pronounced the verdict directly!
"Cai Fu, Lu Ping, and Cao Zheng escaped from prison and killed the guards, and now the verdict:
For the escape of three people, they were sentenced to 40 canes and 10 years of re-education through labor, and because of the escape from prison, two guards were killed, and 20 or 10 years of re-education through labor were added.
Lu Ping, who was previously imprisoned for plotting against his brother, has not been sentenced, and is now sentenced to 20 or 15 years of labor reform.
Cao Zheng, who was imprisoned for plotting against his brother and killing two guards, has not been sentenced, and is now sentenced to 20 rods and death.
Cai Fu, who killed two guards, was sentenced to death for killing two guards, with forty rods. ”
"The verdict is now pronounced as follows:
Lu Ping, eighty rods, will be imprisoned for thirty-five years from now on!
Cao Zheng, eighty rods, dragged to the city gate and beheaded!
Cai Fu, a hundred rods, dragged to the city gate and beheaded! ”
Eighty rods, people are almost going to be scrapped, rods are hundred, Cai Fu has been beaten even if he has been boiling for decades, and his bones have been beaten to the point of humming!
The medical officer, who had only learned a little rough medical skills, followed Lu Ping, who was covered in blood, to the cell, and as for the remaining two, they were dragged directly to the city gate.
Yang Zhi was now nervously arranging the city defenses, and he had heard the commotion in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion just now, but with Chen Jincai there, he sent a small soldier to take a look and didn't care about it anymore.
Now seeing that Chen Jincai let people drag the two beaten like blood gourds to the city gate, he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Sir, why are you here?" ”
Chen Jincai smiled bitterly: "There is no way not to come, only to find out that there is no place to cut off the head after the verdict is announced, so I have to come here to borrow the city gate!" ”
The group of people who followed behind laughed, and the tension caused by the horse thieves outside the city was swept away.
Chen Jincai...... You won't have ...... It's going to end well, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu is the ...... of Cai Xiangye's mansion How dare you ...... Dare to knife Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will watch you from below, and see how you died miserably......"
Cai Laohan was dragged all the way and sobered up, even if he was not sober, he was woken up by pain!
As soon as he woke up, he scolded loudly, he knew that he would not be spared today, so it was better to scold before he died.
Cao Zheng also glanced up at Chen Jincai, and then at Cai Laohan, who didn't have much strength and had to raise his head to scold, and shook his head with difficulty.
Chen Jin saw that the time was almost up, and it was said that the execution must be carried out at noon, but he didn't know the rules, but he didn't have any opinion.
If you don't come to this era, you won't know how deeply people in this era identify with the sense of ritual, so since there is a ritual of beheading at noon in this era, Chen Jincai still thinks it's better to abide by it!
As soon as he waved his hand, a clerk went up and asked Cai Fu: "The hour is coming, you have any unfinished business, you need to write it down, and where to send it, just tell me!" ”
This is Chen Jincai's new rule, suicide note!
Cai Laohan asked fiercely: "Lao Tzu really said it, can you really deliver it?" ”
The clerk nodded, turning a blind eye to Cai Laohan's hideousness, he was not one of those scholars in the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, he was once a member of the scholar army, and now he is assigned to various positions!
For this useless hideousness, he didn't care: "Please rest assured, as long as it's not too remote, we can deliver it!" This is also the last point of care for the prisoners! ”
"That's good! Just write it! Cai Fu tried his best, but he failed to do what Xiang Ye explained, and now there is only one request, that is, please ask Xiang Ye to send this Chen Jincai thief to the ground to see me one day, Cai Fu is stunned! After that, this suicide note was sent to Lao Tzu to Cai Xiangfu in Tokyo City! ”
After saying that, Cai Laohan had a playful smile on his face, and suddenly felt that the pain on his body seemed to be much less, and he was very proud!
The clerk looked at Chen Jincai in embarrassment, Chen Jincai smiled, waved his hand and said: "According to what he said, since he wants to remember someone to help him avenge, then send it to him, I'll wait!" ”
The clerk heard that Chen Jincai had no opinion, of course he had no opinion, and he wrote down Cai Laohan's words with a big stroke of the pen!
When it came to Cao Zheng, Cao Zheng suddenly raised his head and said, "Sir, I don't know if the gold and silver that was distributed to me before are still mine?" ”
Chen Jincai was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Those are what you deserve, of course they are yours, what?" Do you want to have it delivered to your home? ”
Cao Zheng nodded, and suddenly burst into tears: "Actually, I wanted to say that I would be a good man again after eighteen years, but I was afraid that I would be bullied if my wife, orphans, and widows were gone, so I just wanted my husband to help me send me some money to them, so that they could live in peace!" ”
"Good! But it's okay to send you money, but you have to charge 10/1000 of the fee, do you think it's okay? ”
"Mr. is benevolent and righteous, Cao Zheng doesn't know what he eats to make his heart and liver, but he is against Mr., and Cao Zheng will serve in front of Mr. again in the next life! Send me on my way! ”
The knives of the two executioners were very fast, and two pillars of blood rose into the sky with one sword.
Wangjiabao's first verdict came to an end.
Lin Chong was not there, he was deliberately sent out this time, in fact, he didn't deal with Cao Zheng because of Lin Chong's face.
But Lin Chong was not easy to plead, because he knew Chen Jincai's temperament.
In Chen Jincai's opinion, your own people's lives are precious, and it is unforgivable for outsiders to hurt and kill yourself, not to mention that your own people killed your own people, and one kill is still two!
Therefore, Lin Chong did not intercede, but followed Chen Jincai's order to answer that Yan Tongyan Bancheng, which can be regarded as out of sight!
However, he was not there, but the old sect leader Zhang and Lin Chong's daughter-in-law, Lin Zhang, had to come.
Behind Lin Zhang's family was a coffin carried by several men, which Lin Chong had already prepared, and he was waiting for today.
Although Lin Zhang is a woman, she is a woman from a martial arts family, and she is not afraid at all to sew Cao Zheng's head with a needle and thread in her hand.
After sewing the head, Cao Zheng was put into the coffin, and he had to be carried back to the house, washed and changed his clothes, and waited for the horse thief to retreat before he was buried.
Lin Chong is not here, all of this has to be decided by a woman, in fact, sometimes, Chen Jincai always feels that Lin Zhang's is much more responsible than Lin Chong in handling family affairs.
Old Sect Leader Zhang just accompanied his daughter, he couldn't interfere, Lin Zhang was Cao Zheng's wife, and Cao Zheng's affairs could only be done by her.
Chen Jincai walked over, a little embarrassed to give up his hand to the old sect leader Zhang, and just about to say something, the old sect leader Zhang shook his head and said:
"The old man knows what you want to say, it doesn't have to be like this, you didn't do anything wrong, Lin Chong left, that is, he knew that you didn't do anything wrong, he stood in the middle, it was better to avoid it!"
"Wait for me to help Zhenniang bring Cao Zheng's body back to the mansion, and then take weapons to help Yang Zhi defend the city, when I am old, I have to do my part!"
Chen Jincai gave up his hand and watched them leave.
Yang Zhi suddenly led a person over: "Sir, he said that he is a horse thief messenger!" ”
In fact, just now Chen Jincai saw a horse thief coming from the formation, and he thought that he was persuaded to surrender.
"You are the Chen Jincai who is known as Mr. White Bull? It's not good! "The man who came did not salute, he came to threaten, everyone knows this.
By the way, an ultimatum.
Chen Jincai looked at this clown who generally came here to reveal what kind of envoy he was superior, and he was so fierce that he was tough, but is it really good for such a person to be a messenger?
"You say so much nonsense, it's better to tell you what you mean!"
Chen Jincai said with a smile.
Since Chen Jincai said so, of course the envoy had nothing to say: "There is only one sentence, open the city gate immediately and let us in, if you don't say half a word, after we attack the city, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”
This sentence is very domineering, if it is said to others!
But he said this to Chen Jincai, so Chen Jincai smiled and turned to look at the group of horse thieves who couldn't see the edge not far away, there were thousands of people, boundless?
"Maybe you have already investigated me before you came, and you know that my job is actually a storyteller, since you are a storyteller, you are rarely here, messenger, I will tell you a story!"
(Hahahaha!) Get a 6,000-word chapter, and you're done today! See you tomorrow! Ask for a tip! Hahahaha! (To be continued.) )
