Chapter 122: No Forgiveness
The ruffians led by Zhu Hai were stunned, and when they saw Zhang Tieniu in a different place, everyone was stunned and forgot to breathe.
Liu Chengfeng strangled the horse, the condescending distance was only two zhang away, and the half-zhang long Jinchun sword was held obliquely, pointing to the tip of the sword, which was still ticking and dripping with blood.
Killing people at such a close distance is the first time for Liu Chengfeng, and he doesn't have the so-called dizziness, let alone feel disgusting. I just felt that the moment the blood splashed out, the blood in Liu Chengfeng's body also boiled.
His eyes fell on Zhu Hai.
That gaze may not be awe-inspiring, but it is enough to scare these brave and ruthless people into retreating again and again.
Hundreds of ruffians had already retreated one after another.
There were a few more, so frightened that the crotch was wet, and some people knelt down and shouted loudly: "Spare your life, spare your life......"
"Spare your life? These words have also been said to you, "Are not those merchants who have died in a foreign land, and the innocent people who have beloved, also pleaded bitterly with you, and what was the result?" "If it were to kill a ruffian at this time, and deter these people, it would probably be a perfect result. But Liu Chengfeng was already angry at this time.
"Today, the ** people are begging for mercy from the official, just ask, how can the official spare you, the captain obeys the order."
The lieutenant and helper behind him made a overwhelming voice: "Obey the order!" β
Liu Chengfeng pointed forward with his long sword, and under the bright sun, the tip of the sword shone dazzlingly.
"These are all thieves, who dare to slander the pro-army, wait for an opportunity to rebel, pass on my orders, crush them, and kill without mercy!"
Forty healthy horses galloped, faster and faster, and swept past the sides of Liu Chengfeng. Immediately crashed into the crowd, and then, the brocade-clothed guards with knives covered up, and the miserable screams came out, and the people who were knocked off by the war horses like a broken kite splashed blood. With the smell of blood, it slowly spread.
The ruffians began to flee in all directions, and luckily, they ran into the streets, and no one dared to chase them. The rest of the people were driven into a corner by the knight like a sheep, and there was despair in their eyes.

Cabinet Straight House.
A few little eunuchs tiptoed ice basins into the straight room, almost all of them dared not come out, and a eunuch knelt in the center of the straight room. They didn't dare to raise their heads.
Left hand position. They are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian. On the right-hand side, an old eunuch clenched his hands into fists and coughed in a low voice. Under the head of the old eunuch, sat Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Zhu Youzhu didn't speak, just drank the tea silently, and his face was just a little ruddy. At the moment, it looks a little white.
The world says that since the current emperor ascended the throne. Make great efforts, it can be described as ZTE. Zhongxing, Zhu Youzhu thinks he deserves it, he has been on the throne for seven years, almost except for sleeping and eating, most of the time, is spent on acting government affairs, he may not be perfect, but he knows that he has worked hard, worthy of his ancestors and ancestors, and also settled the people of Limin.
It's just that......
Zhu Youzhu said lightly: "The matter has happened, is it a few brocade guards who have molested the good family's fu girl?" What do you think? β
Everyone was silent, even if they were as upright as Xie Qian, they also showed surprising silence at this time, this matter is too big, any opinion may cause great trouble, whether it is appeased or suppressed, the emperor must make a decision in person.
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help laughing at himself, stroked the case, and said slowly: "I think I can't compare to the ancestors and ancestors, but I am still diligent, and the world is still peaceful. Since you don't want to say it, then I will talk about it first. β
Zhu Youzhang's discouragement and coldness are also taken for granted, he was originally quite confident in his world, so much so that he thought that his great rule had made the Ming world re-enter stability and peace, and the swords and soldiers were in the warehouse, and the government decrees were accessible, who knew what happened this time, but it was a full slap in the face.
"It hurts the peace of the world too much, and I believe that most of the people who make trouble are also good people, but they are just a moment of righteous indignation. Then, let's focus on appeasement. It's just how to appease it, but I still have to ask Zhu Qing to come up with an idea. β
Liu Jian finally spoke, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to appease, you must first investigate and deal with the pro-army who committed the crime, and secondly, the officials who ordered them to go and comfort them." β
Zhu Youzhu nodded and said, "You're right, who should you send?" β
Xie Qianting stepped forward and said, "The minister can try." β
Mu Bin said: "Lord Xie is a cabinet bachelor, he can't easily take risks, Weichen is a capital crime, and the rule is not strict to cause this disaster, please Your Majesty give Weichen a chance to redeem his merits, and Weichen is willing to give it a try." β
Mu Bin's sincere attitude was recognized by Zhu Youzhu and the cabinet, but Xie Qian said: "Commander Mu may not be better than Xie Mou in pacifying things, I will do this matter." β
The two of them scrambled to go, so that Zhu Youjiao's face softened a little, and he groaned for a moment, but his eyes fell on the old eunuch.
The old eunuch's health was obviously not good, he was lying on the chair sickly, coughing low, the sideburns on his temples were already gray, and his wrinkled face was full of old age spots.
"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?"
Zhu Youzhu actually had a little respect for this old eunuch, so much so that he called him Aiqing, you must know that the eunuchs in this palace are all the emperor's slaves, plus Zhu Youzhu never likes eunuchs to interfere in political affairs, and the fate of many eunuchs in this palace can be imagined.
It was precisely for this old eunuch that Zhu Youzhu did not have the slightest contempt.
The old eunuch smiled quietly, coughed, and said slowly: "If Your Majesty is appeased, you can use the cabinet, if you want to suppress it, you can use Dongchang and the pro-army, since Your Majesty already has an idea, how dare the slave and maid say more." β
Zhu Youzhu tasted the old eunuch's words, seemed to have an understanding, and then said: "What Xiao Aiqing said is not wrong, appease, it's better to let the minister go, Xie Aiqing ......"
Xie Qian said: "The minister is here." β
Zhu Youzhu said: "It's hard for you to go to Yingchunfang to catch the illegal pro-army and appease the people. β
Xie Qian was about to receive his order.
Outside, there was a sound of slow footsteps, and another eunuch came in, went to the hall and made a big salute, and then bowed down and walked to Zhu Youjiao's imperial case, and presented a note.
Zhu Youzhu looked at the strip, his face changed suddenly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty, why is this, the minister is going." β
Zhu Youzhu shook his head at him, and then returned the note to the little eunuch, who understood Zhu Youzhang's meaning and passed the note to Xie Qian first.
Xie Qian saw it, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but say: "The vertical son dares to kill!" β
After saying that, he passed the note to Liu Jian, and in Liu Jian's eyes, there was a trace of suspicion, and the corner of his eyes saw Li Dongyang looking at him, and then passed the note to him.
After looking at this circle, the last one was in the hands of Mu Bin.
Mu Bin opened the note and wrote: Liu Chengfeng, one hundred households in the fireworks alley, led more than 200 pro-army horse infantry to suppress the people's mutiny......
Mu Bin's face suddenly turned pale. The emperor was still discussing with people how to appease him just now, and you dared to lead people to suppress the people's rebellion, such a big matter, you dared to kill people without even a consultation, this Liu Chengfeng really wanted to kill me.
It is natural for Mu Bin to be frightened, this matter is inseparable from Jinyiwei, the fuse of the matter is because Jinyiwei is molesting the good family Fu girl, Mu Bin, the commander, is also accused of not being strict. Therefore, Mu Bin's attitude was sincere, neither shirking his responsibility, nor showing panic, and finally the emperor had no intention of asking for guilt.
I thought that this matter would be smoothed out like this, and whoever molested the good family would be used as a scapegoat. But who would have thought that Liu Chengfeng, that nerd, would take people to be stunned to play and press.
The bullet pressure will kill people, and the dead will bleed, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, blood will flow like a river, and the emperor's rule of Zhongxing will not become a joke.
"Is this Liu Chengfeng crazy?" Mu Bin scolded Liu Chengfeng a few words in his heart, and secretly glanced at the person in the seat with a green face, at this time, not only Zhu Youzhang, but also Liu Jian and others were angry.
The only peaceful thing is still the old eunuch, this old eunuch, Mu Bin can't see through it constantly, but no matter what, if you want to tide over the difficulties this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
Mu Bin didn't say a word, carefully put the note on the table next to him, and then stood up, knelt down in the direction of Zhu Youjiao, supported the ground with both hands, and slammed his head down: "The minister is dead, please thank the world for your majesty's canonical punishment." β
"Ten thousand deaths?" Zhu Youzhu looked at him and sneered.
This emperor has a kind of intimate charm when he is gentle, but when he is angry, it is enough to make everyone fearful.
He said slowly: "Who sent the order to suppress it, a small hundred households, dared to suppress it without authorization, who did he think he was, who is the hundred households of this hundred households, he has such courage, he ...... He would never die. β
Everyone's attention was focused on the bullet pressure, but they forgot to see which hundred households, but Li Dongyang remembered it well, and prompted: "It's Liu Chengfeng." β
"Liu Chengfeng ......" Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, this person is so familiar, almost every few days, Zhu Youzhu can hear others talk about this person, and his impression of him, Zhu Youzhu has always felt good. So much so that Zhu Youzhu still remembered that he had promised to teach him to write, and he was still Zhu Youzhang's protΓ©gΓ©.
"Is that him?"
Zhu Youzhu fell silent.
