It turned out that this dog official was Liu Hui, the county governor of Shangrao County, who portrayed himself as a hero who endured humiliation and burdens to protect the people in the city in this catastrophe. Zheng Laiyong secretly scolded the dog official for being shameless, it was the first time he had seen such a cheeky person.

"To surrender is to surrender! Your unscrupulous behavior, even if you convince me if you break the sky, will the court believe it? It's better to save your strength and cooperate with the Three Guards to carry out work! ”

Zheng Laiyong pierced all his disguises with a single word, and his smiling face immediately became mournful, and he shuddered at the thought of the harshness of the imperial court in dealing with renegade officials like himself. But the soldiers behind him seemed to be deliberately stabbing him in the heart.

"I heard that many counties in Henan ordered Zhizhou to defect to the enemy, and later the imperial court recovered the lost territory, these cowardly ghosts did not run away and beheaded their families, and their wives and children were enslaved and filled into the army."

This made Liu Hui, the county magistrate, shudder, and he also knew that the imperial court would never tolerate officials like him, but survival is human instinct, and no one will give up until the last moment. Of course, this county magistrate Liu Hui is no exception. At this time, the soldiers had already taken the heads of the city one by one, neatly placed on the ground, although it was black and ulcerated, Liu Hui could still vaguely distinguish which one was the prefect of Guangxin and which one was the Shangrao County Commander...... He felt as if he saw his future......

Next, Zheng Laiyong's words made him feel like he was in the fog.

"How the court deals with it is the matter of the imperial court, but the current officials of Shangrao and Guangxin are dead and running. In a big place, no one can manage it, so don't you ever be a county official? The county order of Shangrao will be handled by you first! ”

Later, Zheng Laiyong asked if there were any officials in the city who were not dead. Liu Hui laughed miserably: "The officials in the entire Shangrao City either held on to the end and were killed by traitors, or they had already gotten the news and fled. ”

Liu Hui saw the stitches and pleaded again. Who knew that this time Zheng Laiyong did not ridicule him, but nodded and said: "En!" You're right! You are better than those officials who anoint the soles of their feet! But then Zheng Laiyong's orders to the soldiers on the left and right made him feel terrified.

"Pass the order, all officials who have escaped and returned from entering the city will be arrested and sent to Nanjing to be sent to let them fall!"

Liu Hui, who was in a cold sweat, didn't understand why this seemingly rude military man was open to a renegade like himself, but since he had hope of life, he grabbed a life-saving straw like a man in the water and refused to let go. And this general of the Three Guards is his lifeline.

"Xia Guan remembered, although the big officials in the city have all run away, but, there is still one who endures humiliation, and one is the prefect who is in Shangrao, and even Guangxin is quite prestigious."

Liu Hui carried out the shamelessness to the end, and said that the renegade and defection to the enemy was to endure humiliation and burden, Zheng Laiyong really couldn't listen to it, so he corrected: "What kind of endurance and humiliation? Apostasy is apostasy! What you said is that the sky is falling, and the eyes in the court are blind? ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Liu Hui echoed a series of words, but after all, he couldn't say the word renegade, these two words have become a thorn in his heart that can never be pulled out.

"Say it! Where's that old thing now? ”

"When the city was broken, he, he said he was going home to wait for the ...... of sin"

Zheng Laiyong's heart was tired for a while, why didn't these dog officials think about it when they surrendered to the enemy? Not to mention that he is ruined, he also has to affect his family and children, in the final analysis, it is still difficult for eternity, and there is only one death!

Is it really that hard to die? Yes, it was extremely difficult for Zhao Xingguo, the prefect of Huangzhou, to Zhishi, and a long hemp rope hung down from the beam of the house, tying a thrilling slipknot in front of Zhao Xingguo. Zhao Xingguo's body trembled, he stood unsteadily on the round stool and almost fell to the ground, he plunged a big head into the rope loop tied by the slipknot several times, but he always hesitated and did not dare to step on the round stool under his feet.

At this time, the old butler's hurried shout suddenly sounded outside the study, "Master, no, it's not good, the official army has come to the door......"

Immediately afterwards, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, Zhao Xingguo was suddenly frightened, a round stool was kicked over, his body fell immediately, and the live rope loop tightened at his neck. Suffocation, pain, fear ensues.

Zhao Xingguo kicked his legs in a panic, and his hands clasped the rope around his neck, trying to free himself, but all the struggles were in vain.

"I don't want to die! Get me down! ”

The old housekeeper was frightened and stunned on the spot when he saw that the old man was going to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and it was not until Zhao Xingguo tried his best to squeeze out the word save me from between his teeth that he woke up like a dream, went up and opened his arms and hugged his master's legs and lifted them up. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Come on, come on, come on, the lord hanged, the lord hanged himself, the lord hanged himself......"

Zheng Laiyong saw this ridiculous scene when he entered the door, and he immediately took out the Yanling knife at his waist, and cut off the hemp rope hanging from the beam of the green onion house with the knife in his hand. The hemp rope was broken, the old housekeeper was unbearable, and the two finally fell to the ground, and Zhao Xingguo also fell together, and he couldn't get up and burst into tears, but he didn't know whether he was crying because of his own fate, or insulting the name of his ancestors.

Zheng Laiyong didn't care about this, all he needed was Zhao Xingguo, a person who could speak for the Three Guards in the messy Guangxin Mansion.

"Crying what? Cry again! No one in the court has come to punish you yet! Lao Tzu first beheaded you old dog for Tianxingdao! ”

Zheng Laiyong lost the last bit of patience tormented by Zhao Xingguo's endless crying, and finally couldn't help but shout angrily. These dog officials usually ride on the heads of the people one by one to make a fortune, once they are in prison and face an unknowable fate, they are so sincere and afraid, and even cry like a girl, why bother today?

Zhao Xingguo was frightened by Zheng Laiyong and suppressed his crying, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this official and army general in a strange military uniform was here. However, he soon caught a glimpse of Liu Hui, the county leader who was following Zheng Laiyong. Immediately, he pointed at Liu Hui's nose and scolded: "The old man knows that it's you who is a villain!" Do you do less to sow discord and conspiracy on weekdays? I didn't expect to hit the old man's head with the idea today......"

He has never taken this little instreamed county man in his eyes, but now he is going to be ridden on his head and, so he can't bear anything, and he has completely lost the form of a girl who cried just now. Seeing the old man's rage, Zheng Laiyong smiled, "That's right!" If you are a big official, you have to have the authority of a big official, what is it like to cry and cry? ”

Liu Hui saw that he was misunderstood by Zhao Xingguo, for fear that he would expose his unbearable old bottoms, so he hurriedly nodded and explained: "You have always misunderstood!" Xiaguan and General Zheng are here to invite you out of the mountain, and now the official army has just recovered the county seat, and there is no one in charge, you are old and respectful......"

He shook out all the things he had been doing on weekdays, and suddenly felt that he had said it too much, and he was afraid that he would offend Zheng Laiyong next to him and cause trouble again, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking.

But with Liu Hui's words, it was enough, Zhao Xingguo felt that he had figured out the intentions of this strangely dressed general, and he was deeply embarrassed by the dilemma just now, so he couldn't help but pick up the official authority again, straightened his waist, dusted off his body, and asked in a lengthened voice:

"I don't know who belongs to your department? Come to my Guangxin, have you ever restrained the soldiers and not disturbed my people? ”

Seeing that Zhao Xingguo didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Liu Hui secretly said that this old thing was going to be unlucky. On weekdays, I feel that he is a person with a lot of eyesight, why is he so bad today? In fact, this is also a complaint against Zhao Xingguo, who went through a catastrophe and walked on the edge of life and death, and it is understandable that he lost his original shrewdness.

This style scratched the back of Zheng Laiyong's head, if the officials with a bright heart were all this virtue, it would be a chore for the Marquis to deal with them all day long. But this is Guangxin Mansion, and Zhao Xingguo is a renegade and rebellious criminal, isn't it a death to take out his civil official style?

Of course, Zheng Laiyong would attack Zhao Xingguo mercilessly, only to hear him sneer.

"Zhao Xingguo rebelled and defected to the enemy, joined the rebels, and lost the face of my Ming officials, come, take and tie up Nanjing for Lao Tzu!"

Zheng Laiyong is by no means scaring Zhao Xingguo, he is not a soft person, the painful experience has made his temperament a little narrow-minded, and he treats people who make mistakes even more harshly. Could it be that without Zhang Butcher, the butcher can eat the hairy pig? Zhao Xingguo is so ignorant of current affairs, it's a big deal to change someone.

The soldiers outside the study rushed in with a bang, knocked Zhao Xingguo to the ground, and tied it up with the hemp rope he hanged on the spot. The rope knot is strangled to death, and the old man who hurts screams like a pig.

The reason why Zhao Xingguo behaved like this was just to save some face for the embarrassment just now, but who would have thought that Wu Qiuba would turn his face when he said this, and immediately regretted what he had done just now. When he saw Liu Hui beside Zheng Laiyong again, he couldn't help but hate this guy again. Xindao, if it weren't for the rhetoric just now, how could he be like this? This guy really didn't have a good heart, and regretted that he fell for this person's trick for a while!

In order to please Zhao Xingguo, the old guy, he never wanted to backfire, but he offended Zhao Xingguo ruthlessly. Liu Hui couldn't cry or laugh, and hoped that Zheng Lai would tie him up in Nanjing, otherwise if he really used this old guy like himself, would he still have his own good life in the future?

Zhao Xingguo has never been good at belly, if he gains power, then he can't fix himself to death? With this consideration, Liu Hui's mind turned again, pondering how to fall into the well and make Zhao Xingguo, an old thing, completely unable to turn over.

But I heard Zhao Xingguo suddenly cry and beg for mercy, "The old man has nothing to do, and I also ask the general's subordinates, his subordinates are merciful, merciful, don't, don't escort me to Nanjing......"
