Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bullying
Xue Chongxun regarded the Huazhou Prefecture as a Chinese army, and the biggest thing at the moment was the placement of tens of thousands of soldiers who had put down their weapons outside the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info\\\\ He had already thought about this matter, but temporarily decided to summon Yin Ci and several lieutenants to the signing room for secret discussions.
When Yin Ci and the others came in, he asked directly: "What do you think should be done with the troops outside the city?" ā
Because Yin Ci, the main general of the Shence Army, was here, the other lieutenants didn't dare to fight for ideas, and they all turned their heads to look at Yin Ci. Yin Ci didn't speak immediately, he seemed to be thinking about something, and was silent for a while before he hugged his fists and said: "These people are plotting rebellion, facing Your Majesty with weapons, and according to the law, the great crime of rebellion should be executed and their clan will be implicated." But there were too many of them, and the last general thought that he would only kill them, and that he would no longer need to pursue his people. ā
"Kill them all?" Xue Chongxun quietly observed Yin Ci, "Tens of thousands of people, how to kill?" ā
Yin Ci's face did not change: "Drive them into the Four Gates Urn City, close the inner and outer gates, and you can kill them all with guns and arrows." ā
At this time, an adjutant general finally couldn't help it, and said with a pale face: "Most of them are just peasant households, and they are all from poor families, how can the general suggest to kill them all, how can they do it?" ā
Xue Chongxun looked at the deputy general with great interest when he heard this, it happened that he knew this person, the general from the Flying Tiger Regiment was named Gong Yecheng.
Yin Ci said coldly: "They are against the emperor. ā
Gong Yecheng couldn't find the words to argue for a while, because the first article in the military law of the Shence Army was that he was only loyal to the emperor, and anyone who opposed the emperor would be killed. However, Gong Yecheng was obviously not convinced, this kind of massacre was indeed too brutal.
"You ......" Gong Yecheng angrily pointed to the Confucian general in front of him, who was very respected on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yin Ci asked again: "The deputy general Gongye Chengmu has no military law, please ask the emperor to allow the last general to immediately remove his military power and convict." ā
"As long as you have done nothing wrong, you are not guilty of saying anything." Xue Chongxun interceded for Gongye Cheng instead, and asked him kindly, "I forgive you for your innocence first, you can say whatever you want, what do you think you should do, why?" ā
Gong Yecheng stiffened his neck, hugged his fists with an open expression, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the rebels have already put down their weapons, there is no need to kill so many people." There is nothing wrong with those generals who participated in the planning of rebellions, those who served as officials, and those who led troops, according to the law; But the vast majority of them are just people who have been coerced by incitement, and they are His Majesty's people when they put down their weapons! Isn't Your Majesty's preparation for the Great Wall to protect the people from the raids of the barbarian cavalry? Even if the people do something wrong for a while, but Your Majesty is the father of the people of the world, why don't you have mercy and forgive them? Besides, Hebei wants to build the Great Wall and lacks people, aren't so many people just people? ā
Yin Ci shouted: "Gongye Cheng, you don't know, they are not ordinary people, and they are traitors when they pick up weapons!" ā
"No, Gongye Cheng has a point." Xue Chongxun nodded solemnly, "Isn't it unkind for me to personally order them to be slaughtered?" I decided to adopt Gongye Cheng's advice and send troops to escort the captives to Youzhou as strong men. However, those military generals and officials who once took refuge in Cui Qigao's side to help him abuse must not be spared, you go down and call Yu Wenxiao, I will explain him to do this. ā
The generals saluted and retired, and as soon as they left the state office, several generals scolded Gong Yecheng: "How does the general treat you on weekdays, but he actually confronts the general in front of the emperor, I don't know what to do!" ā
Yin Ci motioned for everyone to stop, and said softly: "I can't say those words, but Gongye Cheng can say them." He didn't do anything wrong, so he didn't have to worry about it. ā
After a while, Yu Wenxiao was summoned to the state government to meet Xue Chongxun in the detention room, and was ordered to deal with the affairs of the war criminals: the military generals above the team and the officials below the puppet government assassination history in Huazhou were verified to be executed on the spot, but the family members were not held accountable. Because the emperor was in the army, these criminals did not even have to be tried, and they could be executed directly by order.
When Yu Wenxiao heard that he was exempt from implication, he couldn't help but say, "That person from Zhou Ji's family was also released?" Just now I met the inner factory brothers hiding in Huazhou, and I got the news that Zhou Ji's daughter Zhou Yun was not forcibly occupied by the thief leader Cui Qigao at all, and she was married by the Ming media when Cui Qigao occupied Huazhou! The assassin Shi Zhouji is too cunning and hateful, not only taking refuge in the traitor, but also lying that he is forced to be helpless, this is a bully! ā
Because of the extremely bad impact caused by Cui Riyong's murder, Xue Chongxun was also cautious about using the too barbaric means of Zhulian's relatives later, so he asked casually: "Have you got the evidence?" ā
Yuwen Xiaodao: "Arrest Cui Qigao's wife Zhou Yun and torture and interrogate him, and anything can be tried." He thought that the little lady had not long been married to Cui Qigao, she should be relatively young and beautiful, how could she be embarrassed to rush to the trial when she was old, and she should let the emperor judge it, so Yu Wenxiao asked carefully: "The minister arrested her, and Your Majesty personally asked what was going on?" ā
Xue Chongxun said: "It's okay, if Zhou Ji is really bold enough to deceive me in person, I will have to destroy him and completely eradicate this scourge." ā
Yuwen Xiao saw that he had catered to Xue Chongxun, and he was secretly very happy. He walked out of the state government very neatly, and with the emperor's dictation, he casually found a team and went straight to Zhou Ji's mansion, according to intelligence, Cui Qigao occupied the mansion of Zhou Ji when he occupied Huazhou, then his wife should also be in the Zhou mansion, and that girl was the daughter of the Zhou family. The team that was stopped by Yu Wenxiao was the general of the musket regiment, with fifty people under his command, and followed Yu Wenxiao over and ordered the troops to separate up to surround the Zhou Mansion and block the exit in front. Yu Wenxiao ordered: "If someone wants to run, it doesn't matter who he is, kill him." ā
As soon as the words fell, a doorman opened the door and wanted to say something, but the sergeant who had just loaded the gunpowder was distracted, and there was a "bang" of gunshots, and the other soldiers raised their arquebuses and shot at the slave without saying a word, and the man was instantly beaten into a sieve, covered in blood and fell to the door, and then a woman's scream of horror came from the mansion. Seeing this, Yuwen Xiao said, "You go in with me to arrest people." ā
At this time, Yuwen Xiao was full of red light, and the mood of doing bad things made him very excited, as if he had returned to his youth. He turned back to the military general and said: "Zhou Ji has such a big mansion, he must be a corrupt official who is so rich, the brothers will catch someone for a while, and if they see what they like, they can take it, and see who is not pleasing to the eye and cut it with a knife." ā
The military general said: "The top didn't let me rob, how dare we?" It's not cost-effective to lose your head for such a thing, let's still do the right thing and arrest people, who do you say to arrest the brothers will be tied up after a while. ā
A group of people broke in with weapons but didn't see anyone, Yu Wenxiao said experiencedly: "Hide in the house." They picked a random door, kicked it open, and sure enough, there were three people inside, two maids and an old man, and they "pounced" and knelt down, and their faces were so frightened that they turned white.
"Where is Zhou Ji's daughter Zhou Yun?" Yuwen Xiao asked a maid. The maid stared at a pair of frightened eyes and couldn't help shaking her head and couldn't speak, so Yu Wenxiao pulled out her sword and stabbed her in the chest, causing blood all over the ground. Yu Wenxiao asked another maid again, and the old man hurriedly said: "The military master spares his life, and the grass people know!" ā
That Cui Qigao fought with the Shence army outside the city, and after the defeat, he didn't even dare to enter the city and didn't know where to go, and his "Wenchen generals" in Huazhou didn't have a chance to follow, and even Zhou Ji himself surrendered at the city gate, and his family members were also in the house. Sure enough, Yu Wenxiao found the girl, and when she was arrested, she was still sitting in front of the dresser in the bedroom, and when she saw a group of sergeants breaking in, she thought it was a rebel soldier who wanted to talk about the sword, so she took out a short sword and wanted to commit suicide. Yu Wenxiao hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, there is something to say!" Little lady, don't look for shortcomings, if you die, there is no proof of death, and hundreds of people in this house have to go down to accompany you. ā
"Don't come here!" The little lady was a little puzzled when she heard this, but she was still holding a short sword in her hand. This girl is really good-looking, with fine skin and tender flesh, no wonder Cui Qigao, who dreamed of being an emperor, didn't care that Zhou Ji was an official of the Jin Dynasty and married her.
Yuwen Xiao saw a sergeant next to her with a gunpowder gun pointed at her, so he scolded: "Put it down, are you afraid that she will come and kill you with a sword?" Then he pretended to be upright, and took out a waist card from his sleeve: "You are Zhou Yun, the daughter of Zhou Thorn History?" The old man is an internal factory order, an official of the imperial court, and he is ordered to take you to see the emperor. Your father Zhou Ji said that your family was forced to surrender to the enemy, and the emperor wants to ask clearly, so as not to harm the innocent, you have to explain it for your father, were you robbed and occupied by Cui Qigao? ā
The little lady nodded suspiciously, she should admit her identity. She glanced at Yuwen Xiao's waist card, and saw that he was indeed wearing an official robe, and he had already believed eight points...... Her father is also an official.
"Put down your weapons, you have to save these hundreds of people!" Yuwen Xiao said kindly, "Don't worry, the old man promises to treat you politely and invite you to face the saint." In front of so many people, my words count. You go out and get a carriage to come over. ā
Zhou Yun finally dropped the short sword, Yuwen Xiao really did what she said and didn't let people tie her up, but just escorted her back and forth to let her go out by herself. When he walked to the gate, he suddenly saw a slave lying in a pool of blood on all sides at the door, and the scene was very terrifying. Yu Wenxiao explained: "This guy wanted to punch our soldiers, so he was killed. Zhou Yun was speechless, but at this time, she could not be allowed to resist.
Yuwenxiao took her to the state office, but the sergeants who were besieging the Zhou Mansion did not withdraw, and let them watch the people inside ready to arrest and punish at any time, but to kill so many people, of course, the emperor's approval is needed.
When they escorted Zhou Yun into the signing room to face the saint, Xue Chongxun was still wearing a suit of armor, but the helmet had already been taken down and put on the public case. The two sergeants came in and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Yuwen Xiao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this person is Zhou Yun, the wife of the traitor Cui Qigao." ā
Zhou Yun remembered what Yuwenxiao said at first, and hurriedly defended: "I was robbed by him, and my father was helpless." ā
Yuwen Xiaodao: "Weichen still has the errand assigned by the emperor, so he will retire first." After that, he gave a look to the guard next to him, and everyone followed him out of the signing room, only Sanniang was still sitting motionless in the corner.
Xue Chongxun had already guessed Yu Wenxiao's thoughts at this time, did the emperor need to come in person to interrogate the prisoners? He glanced at Sanniang, but she didn't mean to leave at all.
