Chapter 495 burned her

"Zhang Boxing went crazy, he set up a torture table on the security gate"

Wang Tanghe, who had arrived at Wuchang City, made such a return, Li Xian was shocked, he really didn't expect that this "Qing official" would dare to ignore Yongzheng's order regardless of where he got such courage? Could it be that the Qing official can be played into the play, and the fake has become true?

Unable to take care of the Shenwu Army's own team, Li Shi summoned the Praetorian Guards and relevant dignitaries to rush to Wuchang first.

In the camp, a young man raised a brass trumpet and sounded the emergency assembly horn, which seemed to be in a very unstable mood, and the trumpet sound was intermittent, as if someone was choking.

The young man put down the brass trumpet, was tapped forcefully on the shoulder, and turned his head to see that he was a handsome general, only a year or two older than him. He hurriedly saluted, this was Anyuan General Wu Ya. Originally, he was going to be the governor of Huguang, but because the situation was not completely clear now, he was only temporarily given the command of the Shenwu Army, and he was actually in charge of both the Shenwu and Dragoon armies.

Wu Ya smiled faintly, made a knife in his palm, and swept it horizontally, this trumpeter is He Ming, who came from the Tielin Army Pan Shiyu. Because Pan Shiyu wanted to lead the troops to force Changde to the front line, he couldn't go to Wuchang to save his sister in person. In desperation, he had no choice but to send He Ming to follow Long Zhilan to Li Xian's side and act as his arm.

When He Ming saw Wu Ya's action, his heart jumped, this is the meaning of whoever stops him, he will kill whoever comes, and kill as many as he wants.

Then Long Zhilan also smiled slightly at He Ming, and her palm turned uncertainly, this is the sign language she just learned, which is used to comfort people, which is equivalent to "It's absolutely fine, don't worry." ”

He Ming tried to smile, but the deep worry between his eyebrows could not be shaken away. Although Pan Jinling is only a few years older than him, he is like his mother, and his gratitude is not so deep. In addition to worrying about Pan Jinling, her sister He Mo Niang is said to have followed the black cat in Wuchang City, so she is also worried.

Wuchang Mansion City, in the depths of that small Taoist temple, as soon as he entered the small courtyard heavily guarded by soldiers, Pan Jinling hugged He Moniang, lowered his voice and exclaimed: "God, why did you come with me?" ”

He Mo Niang's tears rolled down, she opened her mouth and babbled, she didn't have to say anything, just this guttural voice made Li Siniang behind her can't help but burst into tears.

Catholicism did not make any effort in Hubei, but in the Changsha War last year, Catholicism buried the corpses of Qing soldiers under the Iron Furnace Temple north of Changsha, as in the earlier Battle of Yizhang, made a public sacrifice, and distributed ashes to the bereaved relatives, which also developed some believers, and the Wuchang Mansion was one of them.

As a servant, he was the most lowly of all the lowly professions, and he was always despised by others, but in the Catholic family, he gained warmth and dignity. As a result, this servant was extremely pious, and spontaneously developed in Wuchang Mansion, pulled up the Catholic Society, and also gained a wide popularity.

With the full assistance of this person, Siniang and Mo Niang pretended to be the mother-in-law of the clan and got the opportunity to enter the Taoist temple to serve the golden bell. In the team responsible for supervising the inner courtyard, someone seems to have been connected by the Heaven and Earth Society through the Wuchang Prefect, and did not carefully examine the two women, allowing them to see Pan Jinling.

However, it may also be that it is difficult to find a mother-in-law who is willing to do this, because Pan Jinling is a cult demon girl, and the rumors that she is not only possessing Gu poison but also can dementor souls have spread throughout the entire Wuchang Mansion City.

Pan Jinling really didn't suffer anything, but after many days of running around and being imprisoned, he still had a wound on his forehead, and his complexion was very bad. His long hair was disheveled, his face was stained with dirt, and there was only a pair of eyes, which still shone with a calm crystalline.

Hearing He Mo Niang's whimper, Pan Jinling smiled slightly, pointed her finger at the fake sores on her face, and said to Si Niang: "How can you bear to make my Mo Niang so ugly......

After saying that, he stroked his hands on his face, comparing the sign language of "so ugly", He Moniang was heartache and disobedient in Pan Jinling's arms, and put her cheek in her palm, feeling the warmth that she had been in love for a long time.

Thinking back to the original appearance of the two of them, it turned out to be ordinary and quiet, Siniang was in a trance, and said in her heart that damn Yongzheng, damn Zhang Boxing, why haven't you ordered to release people? Do you really want them to clear the country to be peaceful?

He Mo Niang stretched out her hand to caress the scar on Pan Jinling's forehead, thinking that on that winter day six years ago, she smashed a stone on Pan Jinling's forehead, and she was bleeding profusely. But Pan Jinling didn't care about it, hugged her directly, and used the burning purity in those eyes to crack the hatred in her immature heart.

"The master is always like this, he never has himself in his heart, he thinks about others. Finally, when the official family came, she had to welcome her into the palace, but she still had to go through this difficulty. God, what is he punishing her for? God, why can't I be substituted for my master to suffer like this......", thinking of his own uselessness, He Mo Niang was even more teary-eyed.

"Can you sing the heavenly song? You have to work hard......"

Pan Jinling gestured, although He Moniang was born deaf and dumb, she was not incurable. Singing the harmony in the heavenly song is also an exercise for her to learn to make a sound, which is why she cares so much.

He Mo Niang was about to answer, but she heard the head of the guard outside exclaiming, "How is it possible? Did you hear it wrong? ”

Another said: "I don't believe it either, I asked one more question, and I was almost cut off by the subordinates of the production platform."

The other team leaders also surrounded and discussed one after another, Siniang was shocked, gestured to silence, and sneaked to the door to listen carefully.

After a while, the head of the earlier team said hatefully: "No, this is going to ruin the lives of our people, I'll go to the prefect to discuss."

Siniang's face turned pale, her silver teeth clucked, and her eyes turned round.

Pan Jinling seemed to anticipate it, brushed away the messy hair on his face, showed a calm face, and smiled slightly: "Are you going to kill me?" I've been prepared for that. ”

He Mo Niang didn't know the situation, but she also saw the abnormality, turned around to look at Siniang again, and saw her gritting her teeth and angry eyes, she also guessed it, and was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Siniang said coldly: "The team leader outside is also dragging time, there is really no turning point, I will take my aunt out to kill, and there is a team of people led by Brother Gan outside."

Pan Jinling asked in a low voice: "How big is it?" Seriously. ”

Siniang lowered her head and said with difficulty: "Si ...... Fifty percent of it......"

Saying this, he knew in his heart that Gan Fengchi had just gathered two teams of black cats, plus more than ten spies from the Heaven and Earth Society, with a total of less than forty or fifty people. And listening to the discussion of those team leaders just now, in addition to the original guards, the people of the supervision brigade were transferred outside. Four or five percent? Even if the outside team helps, it may be good to have one or two percent.

Pan Jinling shook his head: "Don't coax me, I will not only die at that time, but also you and Mo Niang, even if I go down to the underworld, I will not die." ”

Siniang also felt helpless, and her heart was in turmoil.

In the back hall of the governor's yamen, Ortai was pacing back and forth anxiously, and another person was pushed in by the soldiers, and the man roared angrily at the soldiers: "The dog slave has long eyes, and he really doesn't even want his life?" ”

The soldiers said helplessly: "Zhang Zhitai Jun order, don't dare to disobey, and hope that the lord will forgive ......"

Ortai saw this person, and said with a pause: "Ouch, I secretly spread the news, let you go straight and take off Zhang Boxing's crown, why are you also taken in?" ”

This person is the Jingzhou general Guntai, his forehead is steaming, shaking the fat on his face, and his face is full of shock: "How do I know that Zhang Boxing is so ruthless?" This guy seems to have taken some kind of medicine, and his courage exploded at once, although there are dozens of people around me, I can't stand the soldiers in the city listening to him. ”

Ortai slumped on the chair weakly, shook his head and said: "Yes, this guy is a blue sky, even the emperor's milk brother can be brought down back then, what are we shrimp and crabs?" Presumably, the generals in this city also think so, and they all want to listen to him Zhang Qingtian's words. ”

Guntai said unwillingly: "It's time for Jingzhou Qiying to go to Hanyang, and I have already asked my family to go out of the city to contact."

Ortai shook his head: "Is it too late?" I'm afraid it's too late......"

In the Taoist temple, Siniang clenched her fists and clapped her hands, no matter how much she thought about it, she was afraid that it would be too late, she had to fight to win, and she had to fight for it.

Just as she was about to speak, Mo Niang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed Siniang......

When Li Xi took the guards and Wu Ya and others to ride their horses all the way to Wuchang Mansion, the city head was waving flags, the soldiers were like forests, and Zhang Boxing had already arranged the defense of the whole city. At that time, Li Xian's heart was cold for a while, and he said that he had really miscalculated, but he didn't expect this "Qing official" to have the heart to directly confront Yongzheng, what about his "bones"?

No, his "wind bones" are still there, but they just poke out the flesh......

The torture platform erected on the tower of the security gate was faintly visible, and Wu Ya said loudly: "Your Majesty, please order the siege of the city"

Li Shi felt shortness of breath, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and shook his head heavily: "Shao'an is not impatient"

Besiege? What to take to siege the city? Now rushing to the city of Wuchang, there are only dragoons and janissaries, and the dragoons are dragging dozens of cannons, but they are only newly replaced four-pound cannons. There is no way to deal with the strong city wall of Wuchang, so he can only wait for the twelve-pound cannon of the Shenwu Army, and even the twenty-pound cannon he transferred from the Xinli Chilei Army.

It's not that you can't do it without artillery, but you have to make a ladder on the spot, but instead of waiting for these ancient things to be completed, it's better to wait for the artillery to be in place. ,

Wu Ya was naturally aware of the current situation, and he said angrily: "Only build a cloud ladder, and the ants will attack the city."

Li Xi continued to shake his head, Cloud Ladder? What about the moat? Wuchang is close to the river, the moat is not narrow, fill in a section of the channel, I am afraid not to give up hundreds or even thousands of lives, and then the ants are attached to it, and at present, these people and horses are not enough at all. Wuchang is not Yuezhou, although the Hubei Green Camp has long been destroyed, but the governor and the city guard camp stationed here, plus the local regiment training the people, how can there be 10,000 troops defending the city.

All in all, there is no hope for a quick break.

Looking at the city, Li Shi bit his lip, and said in his heart Zhang Boxing is afraid that he has already controlled other Qing court officials, and even controlled Ortai, this person is an iron-headed second stunned, what is he thinking, he doesn't even want his own life, so he has to attack Pan Jinling?

The noise continued, Li Shi turned his eyes, and saw that a big flag was erected, with the words of Aunt Pan written on it, and tens of thousands of people, because they had no heavy burden, even went to the city of Wuchang, and they were clamoring.

Could it be......

Li Xian's face turned pale, could it be that Zhang Boxing saw what people wanted and had a different interpretation of Pan Jinling?

Analyzing the information obtained in the account, trying his best to think of countermeasures, and dispatching manpower, Li Xi stayed up all night. The next morning, I was in a trance, but I heard a high-pitched cry of sorrow from all sides.

Ran out of the tent, stepped on a makeshift platform, raised the telescope and was about to look, but was stopped by another shout.

It was a shout from Wuchang City, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the sound was huge.

A few minutes ago, in the early hours of the morning, in the small Taoist temple on the side of the governor's yamen, the soldiers escorted a tall figure into the prisoner car.

The prisoner cart walked slowly towards the southern city wall, and when it passed a section of the street, diners from a steamed bun shop poured out to see the excitement, which was the same steamed bun shop where Gan Fengchi and Li Siniang had stayed before. Aunt Bao, who was originally kind and kind in the shop, stared at the figure on the prisoner car, and her body shook violently. After a moment, as if abomination had overpowered fear, she burst out behind the spectator.

"Burned her"

There was silence in the street for a moment, and then a wave of shouts echoed.

There were only three words, which were the three words that Li Xi heard.

"Burned her"
