"My lord, my lord, we sent it this time, and you caught who you were humiliated!"

As soon as he came in, Shi Bowen shouted happily, but he didn't notice the ugly expressions of Pang Gang, Li Yuan and others.

Li Yuan, who was in a very bad mood, glared at him, "Shi Bowen, if you kid has a fart, let it go, what kind of thing to sell." ”

Li Yuan's words were very polite, so he almost pointed at his face and scolded, but Shi Bowen was not angry, he knew that this guy was a bad man, and when the surname was raised, no one's battle was sold, otherwise he would not have been beaten into a pig's head by a huge person back then.

Shi Bowen said with a smile: "My lord, you definitely didn't think who these three boys were, they are Ma Shiyao, the general of Zuo Guoyi of the left camp of the thief, Liu Rukuiwei, the mighty general of the right, Zhang Nai, the mighty general, plus Liu Fangliang, and now the thieves of the left camp of the thief are all alive." ”

"Hmm........ Really? ”

At this time, Pang Gang couldn't help but be moved, and arrested all the heads of the thief Kou Zaide'an Mansion at once, which was not easy.

"Yes, my lord, you don't know yet, these three thieves actually hid together in a small firewood room behind the old man's yard, and they were found by Jiang Laohan before reporting to us.

Shi Bowen waved his arms excitedly as he spoke, looking like his eyebrows were flying.

It's no wonder he's so excited, as the captain of Pang Gang's own soldiers, although this position has a noble status, it is also the most difficult place to make achievements, following the boss every day, the chance of making meritorious contributions is almost minimal, and now he finally caught a big fish for three days, and his mouth is almost closed with a smile.

However, after the excitement, Shi Bowen saw that everyone's faces were not very good, and he cast an inquiring look at Wang Zhi with some doubts, the corners of Wang Zhi's mouth were tilted to the side, Shi Bowen immediately saw the woman lying in a pool of blood, and he understood what was going on in his heart.

With a light sigh, he gently walked to Pang Gang's side and asked, "My lord, what should I do with these thieves, you can make an idea." ”

Pang Gang slowly walked up to the three of them, stared at them carefully for a while and then said slowly, "The three of you are the leaders of the left camp of the thieves?" Hehe....... It seems that God is going to destroy you too. ”

"Dog officer, if you want to kill, kill it, why bother talking about it!" The youngest general waited for Pang Gang to scold.

Pang Gang didn't get angry, but just stared at the three of them for a while without blinking, staring at the three of them in their hearts, and then said indifferently: "Okay, since you want to die so much, then this official will fulfill you....... Come on, drag these three people to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut them up! ”

Shi Bowen was about to stand up, but Li Yuan took the lead: "My lord, let the end of the future execute them, can you!" ”

"Okay." Pang Gang nodded.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, grabbed the placket of one of the thieves and dragged him out, and the remaining two were also dragged out by his own soldiers like dead dogs.

It was only at this time that the three of them, who were originally quite calm, exclaimed, the three of them knew that they would not escape death this time, but there were many ways to die, and this punishment was the most cruel punishment in China, and there was no one.

Chopping is also known as Ling Chi, which is one of the capital punishments for prisoners in ancient times, which is what the folk call "a thousand cuts". It first appeared in the Five Dynasties period, and was written into the "Song Penal System" as a punishment during the reign of Song Renzong. The man was tied to a wooden stake and the flesh of the prisoner was cut down piece by piece with a knife, initially with a total of 120 knives, and later with 360 knives.

Because the punishment was too cruel, in the Ming Dynasty, only those who committed "great rebellion" and "rebellion" such as rebellion, rebellion, and "verbal rebellion" enjoyed this treatment. In other words, "Ling Chi" was mainly used to execute political prisoners who endangered the interests of the feudal ruling class.

For Pang Gang, who was accustomed to seeing criminals shot with rifles, being able to say the word chopping shows how angry he has become.

"Pang Gang, you bastard, you kind of give Lao Tzu a good time, what kind of hero is it to torture Lao Tzu like this!" Soon, Liu Fangliang's hoarse voice sounded outside the courtyard, but this voice was getting farther and softer.

Looking at the figures of several people who had disappeared, Pang Gang was unmoved, but said hatefully: "Take the blame." ”

Pang Gang, who has read the history books, knows the virtues of these rogues very well, it can be said that there are few good goods in the rogue, some people may say that Li Dingguo is good, but people like Li Dingguo are almost rare in the rogue.

Take the mighty general Zhang Nai, who was pushed out just now, he is also the righteous son of Li Zicheng, and he was named a righteous marquis in history. After Li Zicheng's death, he and the general soldier Hao Shaoqi commanded 40,000 troops to surrender on their own initiative, while Liu Fangliang, the Marquis of Ci, led 10,000 troops to surrender, and the Qing soldiers surrendered immediately after writing a letter of persuasion, and they didn't even dare to talk about the conditions. There is also Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, who led 30,000 troops to surrender in Wuchang City. These were all surrendered without a fight, and it was the Manchus, not the Ming court, which shows that these thieves have no national integrity. If you have milk, you are a mother, it doesn't matter who the master is, it can also be seen to what extent she is afraid of death.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, it stands to reason that since he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he should do the right thing. Thieves swarmed, and the war lasted for 20 years, and no one farmed. The top priority is to restore agricultural production and persuade farmers to farm, but no one in the liukou is willing to farm, everyone is dependent on robbery for a living, and if they can't do it, they will kill people for food, in Pang Gang's view, only by completely eliminating it can this cancer be eradicated, and seeing Miss Bu's tragic situation just now, Pang Gang, who was angry, did not hesitate to order them to be killed.

After giving this order, Pang Gang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk towards the inner courtyard of the yamen. At this time, dozens of women who were originally in the hall knelt down to Pang Gang in unison.

"What are you doing here, get up." Pang Gang frowned and motioned for them to get up, but none of them wanted to get up.

The young woman at the head cried: "My lord, most of the people's daughters' homes have been destroyed by the thieves, and most of the relatives are gone, and our bodies have been defiled by the thieves, even if there are still family members, they can't go back, once the women go back, there is only a dead end, my lord, you can do well, save the people's girls!" ”

After speaking, the woman immediately kowtowed to Pang Gang, and the knock was so loud that her head became red and swollen in just a few clicks.

"Is that so?"

Pang Gang turned his head to look at the person beside him with some confusion, but saw Bin Shiqian and Wang Zhi nodding lightly on the side.

Pang Gang frowned, and said in his heart, is the etiquette so strict now, but he remembers that when he first arrived in Lingshanwei, he saved his cheap old man Wei Tongnian's concubine Rou Niang in Yangjiatun, at that time, Rou Niang had obviously been defiled by the guy called Wang Hezi, but he didn't see Rou Niang looking for death and life.

In fact, what Pang Gang didn't know was that Rou Niang herself was born in the Qinglou, and she didn't value Zhen Gang as much as ordinary women, and she wouldn't die because of being a man, which was also something Pang Gang didn't know.

"Okay!" Pang Gang sighed and said to these women: "Since you don't want to go back, then temporarily follow the army to move in the baggage camp, and when you return to Shandong, this official will help you find a good family to marry, and it can be regarded as having a reliance for the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The women choked and knelt down again in front of Pang Gang.

"Gotta get it....... Don't kneel, I can't get used to this. Pang Gang waved his hand impatiently and walked out........ The news of the Qingzhou army's capture of De'an Mansion could not be concealed for long, and soon the news reached the ears of Niu Jinxing, who was guarding Wuchang Mansion.

"What? De'an Mansion was lost, and Liu Fangliang and other 30,000 left battalions were wiped out? ”

Niu Jinxing screamed silently, and his right hand, which was clutching the folding fan, became green and bulging because he was too hard.

It was his idea to let Liu Fangliang and others garrison De'an Mansion, originally he was very confident that Liu Fangliang would lead 30,000 Zuo Battalion men and horses to garrison De'an Mansion, he thought that even if the imperial court sent a large army to attack, Liu Fangliang could withstand ten days and half a month no matter how bad he was, so much time was enough for him to make a good deployment, but he didn't expect Liu Fangliang, a fool, to be unable to support even one night, and 30,000 horses were eaten up by others without even letting out a fart, this result made Niu Jinxing so angry that he was almost brain congested.

"You can't let that Pang Gang continue to move forward like this, otherwise King Chuang will definitely not be able to spare himself!" Bull Venus anxiously paced around the room.

At present, most of the main forces of the Chuang army have been taken away by King Chuang and Liu Zongmin to attack Hunan and Shaanxi, and the only people who can use them are less than 50,000 untrained peasants. Moreover, 30,000 of the main forces have been taken away by Liu Fangliang and others, and now Niu Jinxing only has 20,000 horses in his hands, and these 20,000 horses are still distributed in various cities, and now he can only use 8,000 troops stationed in Wuchang Mansion.

"No, Hubei can't hold it, and if you don't evacuate, there will only be a dead end."

Niu Jinxing thought about it and came to a conclusion that he was unwilling to draw. Now that the main forces of the invading army are trapped in Hunan and Shaanxi respectively, it is impossible to expect them to return to the division to help, and that is not in line with the habit of invading the army. The habit of the army has always been to fight guerrillas, to put it bluntly, they will flock to the soft persimmons, and run away when they see the hard stubble, this habit has been deeply imprinted in the bones of the generals of the army, and it will not be able to change for a while, not to mention that it is their sworn enemy Qingzhou Army, they dare not return to the division to help, anyway, Hubei has been almost harmed by them, and if they lose it, they will lose it.

Niu Jinxing slammed his fist on the table and said gloomily: "Okay, you Pang Gang, I'll make you proud today, and then I'll settle accounts with you ....... another day."
