Chapter 538: Hidden Feelings

"Bastard King Eight Lambs!" Lu Xiangsheng raised his eyebrows, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and killed him with more than a dozen personal soldiers.

"Master Du, go and report to the prince!"

Lu Xiangsheng's voice floated in the air, Du Qing's face turned blue with anger, and he scolded: "If you want to go and tell the prince, you are also going, why let Lao Tzu do the errands." ”

Although Du Qing said so, he didn't dare to slack off, even if the other party was a group of pigs, there were thousands of people, if Lu Xiangsheng had a mistake, then there would be no way to explain. He could only turn the horse's head and run in front of Zhang Ke.

"Lord Qi, there are many officers and soldiers in front of you who are slaughtering the people."

"Where are the soldiers?"

"It seems that it is from the Xuanfu, killing the good and risking the merits, these people can do anything."

Zhang Ke nodded slightly, beckoned Han Guang and Xie Chao over, and asked them to take the people to deal with it. The two men were ordered to rush over with a whirlwind of cavalry. Du Qing was not at ease, so he chased after him and crossed the mound, and there was a battlefield in front of him.

But at first sight, the big guys are stupid.

The expected sword light and sword shadow, shouting to kill Zhentian did not appear at all. On the contrary, there was a large area of black pressure on the ground, all kneeling, including the people, as well as the officers and soldiers. Lu Xiangsheng stood alone in the middle with a few people, standing out from the crowd, not to mention how abrupt.

Du Qing urged the horse to run over, and asked in a daze, "Brother Jiandou, are you okay?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "What can I do, it's all a bunch of straw bales, and they will be cowardly when they charge, and they all kneel down and beg for mercy." ”

Facing the scene in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng was also a little surprised, he rushed down with more than a dozen people, first with a firecracker, killing a few people, and then killing a few more with bows and arrows.

When the two armies met, Lu Xiangsheng was completely chopping melons and vegetables. Three or four people were killed in a row, and the other officers and soldiers saw that they were coming, and they were about to leave. But it was the guerrilla who led the troops and obediently dismounted and kowtowed.

"Brothers, it's the imperial court that sent someone, don't fight, surrender quickly!"

The leader shouted, and although the people below were afraid, they still got off the horse and knelt on the ground obediently. They surrendered, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't continue to kill. In this way, more than a dozen people were stunned and calmed down thousands of people.

In the past, hundreds of Jiannu people dared to rush to the Wanming Army, and the scene in front of them was not too surprising.

At this time, Zhang Ke had already come with a large group of people, and saw the flags fluttering in the sky and the drums and horns contending. The army swept over, and the powerful murderous aura made these Ming troops tremble.

"The mighty army of King Anton is really impressive! Well, great! The guerrilla applauded.

Du Qing gave him a whip with his backhand, which was right on his mouth, and the blood was pouring out. Screaming in pain. Du Qing scolded: "Kill talents, you dare to attack the people, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, and the prince is here." It's your death period, say, do you want to be late, or do you want to split five cars! ”

"Don't!"

Guerrillas don't care about pain. Plop on his knees.

"Adults are generous, small, small are really unspeakable. If you have to kill someone, please be aware of it, and be aware of it! He said and kowtowed, Du Qing frowned, and said coldly: "When the prince comes, he will naturally deal with you!" ”

While speaking, Zhang Ke had already urged the horse to arrive.

"What's going on?"

"Lord Qi, we have captured the beasts who took the lead in killing the people, please send it down!" Du Qing pointed to the guerrilla kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Ke frowned and sneered: "You should have heard that what this king hates most is that the soldiers do not want to protect their families and defend the country, but poison the people. If it falls into the hands of this king, count you unlucky, come and put him and his brute soldiers to death! ”

In a word, this is the lives of thousands of people! The captives kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they scolded the guerrillas in their hearts, and it was this bastard who told the big guy that it was okay and let him dismount and surrender.

If you just run away, you might even be able to escape with your life! It's just that they didn't expect that it was wishful thinking to escape from the Yizhou soldiers.

The soldiers rushed up to take the guerrillas away, and his hairs stood on end.

"Lord Wang, you are a famous general in the world, and everyone admires you, but you can't be punished without teaching! The little one has a love in return, and you have to let the little one speak. ”

Zhang Ke hesitated slightly, to be honest, he didn't know much about the situation in Xuanfu, although the crime of mutilating the people was unforgivable, but it was better to figure out the situation first.

"Bring him here."

The soldier dragged the person to Zhang Ke's horse again, and Zhang Ke said condescendingly: "Let's talk, this king will give you a cup of tea, and if you can't say a reason, you will be decided!" ”

The voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in the ears, and the tone was undoubted, and the spirit of the superior was vividly displayed.

"Yes, yes!" The guerrilla trembled, calmed down, and cried: "The little one's name is Zhu Chuanzhi, who was originally a guerrilla of the car battalion of Xuanfu. ”

"Getting to the point."

"Yes, since last year, Baoan Prefecture and even Xuanfu and other places have been in arrears of food and wages, and the soldiers have no way to continue, and they have not been paid military salaries this spring, and they have not received them, and they are not hidden, and many brothers have starved to death at home, woo woo woo ......" Zhu Chuanzhi said and cried.

Zhang Ke was clear about the arrears of military salaries, and originally expected Chongzhen to ascend the throne to be able to distribute more, but Chongzhen wholeheartedly obeyed Donglin Jian, and the salaries and silver in various places were delayed, or they were sent down, and they were also deducted.

"Why, listen to what you mean, is it that the court doesn't give silver, and you can't live anymore, so you kill the good and risk the merit, and exchange the heads of the common people for silver, isn't it?"

Zhang Ke asked sharply, which frightened Zhu Chuanzhi.

"Lord Wang, no matter how mad the little one is, he doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, it's not a secret, these ordinary people are not ordinary people, they are all White Lotus bandits."

"What, White Lotus Cultist? How do you know? ”

"Back to the prince, they all have white lotus tattoos on their bodies, you can find out when you check them."

Zhang Ke gave Lu Xiangsheng a look, and Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly asked people to go over to check, not to mention, after a check, at least sixty or seventy percent of people have a white lotus on their arms.

Zhang Ke immediately frowned, and said to Zhu Chuanzhi: "From now on, you have recruited this king from the truth, why are there so many White Lotus Sect disciples, especially so many old and weak women and children?" ”

"Lord Wang, the little ones don't dare to lie, there were originally White Lotus Sectists in the Xuanfu area, and later a group escaped from the grassland. The imperial court was short of food and salary, and could not afford to strangle them, so they could only let them settle in some abandoned villages and castles, and they were initially uneventful. But since Gu Jun became the eunuch of Xuanfu, somehow, a fellow named Xiao Xu, the senior brother of the White Lotus Sect, became Gu Jun's guest, and I heard that he could refine the pill and bring Yang Gen back to life. ”

"Ridiculous!" Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "Is there such an elixir in the world? ”

Zhu Chuanzhi said bitterly: "The little one also said no, but Eunuch Gu just believed it, and there were more and more White Lotus Sects in Xuanfu." After Wei Biao was executed, it was even rumored that Gu Jun wanted to establish a heavenly kingdom on earth, there were no eunuchs, no men and women, and everyone ascended to Bliss, causing countless poor families to join the White Lotus Sect, and also preached the Dharma everywhere. The little ones have the responsibility to defend the land, how dare they let them in, the only way to kill them is to ask the prince to see it! (To be continued......)
