Chapter 138: Zhang Rang's nephew
Those family members are not stupid, and they understand that this kind of treason will definitely be implicated, so they dispersed before Wang Xu's words fell. The sergeant who can get the order will be polite, and he will chase and kill him as soon as possible. For a while, the huge mansion was full of shouts and swords colliding. But where can these wastes who only bully the people be called opponents, and some of them who have some ability are also the first to be hung up by the officers.
For these battle-hardened soldiers, Wang Xu is extremely confident. He didn't pay attention to the little minions around him, just looked coldly at the middle-aged man who fled like a headless fly.
But the more this happened, the more frightened the man became, and his face was pale without a trace of human color. During the run, he glanced back several times in horror, but did not notice that there was a threshold in the arch, and kicked it with a "bang", and he threw himself to the ground first.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xu immediately shook his head with tears and laughter, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Hey! It's so unprofessional to even run away, I really don't know what to say about you. ”
When he turned around and saw Wang Xu approaching gradually, the fat man trembled with fright, and hurriedly turned over, moving back with his hands and feet. "You...... You can't kill me! I...... I am...... Zhang ......"
But his words stopped abruptly at this point, as if he was afraid of something, and his mouth opened but did not make a sound. Then he gritted his teeth fiercely, glanced at Wang Xu resentfully, stood up and ran.
It's a pity that I don't know if he was particularly unlucky today, and just turned around and bumped into Xu Huang, who was walking towards him. There was a muffled sound of "poof", Xu Huang didn't move at all, but he couldn't stop taking a few steps back and slumping to the ground.
Shaking his head in a daze, he woke up and saw that the road was blocked, and howled in despair, but he suddenly pulled out a long dagger from his waist and stabbed Xu Huang in the chest fiercely.
But in terms of his shooting speed, in the eyes of Wang Xu and others, there is no difference between slow motion, if Xu Huang can be stabbed by him, then go home and hug the child, what else is a famous general?
I saw a flash of knife light on Xu Huang's waist, and his body froze in place without moving, and the dagger in his hand was still a few feet away from Xu Huang. Then it was "Wow! With a bang, Xu Huang's waist knife had been inserted back into the scabbard, and the whole process was like a smooth flow and extremely fast.
Then he didn't bother to look at the other party, kicked it away, and walked quickly in front of Wang Xu and said, "General, I found three people in the Northwest Courtyard, one of them is the white-faced little boy who assassinated you in Xihua last time, and I have killed them all." ”
"Hmmm! Very good, then wait here, I just heard Zhang Jing's roar in the east courtyard, but he hasn't come until now, he must be chasing to the back door of the house, where Gao Shun is guarding, there should be no problem. ”
As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Han Meng's rough voice came from the left. "My lord, I found five people from the Limbo Sect in the western courtyard, and a few strong bows! Because they resisted, they had already killed, and the leader had good archery skills, and it was probably the assassin who injured Zhou Zhi. ”
As Han Meng's voice fell, before Wang Xu could reply, the other generals also rushed back one after another to report the results of the search. Although he never heard about the pursuit of Zhang Lie, Wang Xu couldn't completely put his mind at ease, but after all, all the surroundings were blocked, and even flies couldn't fly out, so he wasn't in a hurry, but chatted with the generals.
Just when the generals were happily talking about their experience of pacifying the Yellow Turban, the sect member suddenly walked in from outside the broken gate of Zhang's mansion, and saw Wang Xu who was surrounded by the generals in the middle from a distance, and opened his mouth to shout, but after a pause, he stopped stiffly. A few strides passed through the middle of the generals, pulling the inexplicable Wang Xu away.
Suddenly being pulled by the sect member, Wang Xu suddenly became puzzled: "Why is General Zong so anxious?" After speaking, he didn't answer when he saw the sect member, but just pulled himself to the corner with a panicked face. Immediately, he understood that something big must have happened, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is there something changing on Zhang Liang's side?" ”
But as soon as the words came out, he remembered the current battle situation again, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Probably not!" Guangzong fell, half of the Yellow Turban heavy cavalry was destroyed, wasn't Zhang Liang so frightened that he withdrew the day before yesterday? I also recruited Gao Shundu from Guangping. Could it be that it's General Huangfu's side? ”
Hearing this, the sect member finally glanced back at Wang Xu, but he shook his head and still didn't speak. It wasn't until he reached a hidden corner of the wall that he turned his head to look at the generals in the distance. After determining that it was impossible for anyone to hear it, he immediately asked eagerly, "Have you ever seen an obese middle-aged man?" It's the owner of this Zhang Mansion, Zhang Gui! ”
Seeing that the sect member was actually here for this, and with his calm temperament, he was still in such a hurry, Wang Xu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded: "Hmm! See. I found Zhang Lie and the Yellow Turban Yu in this mansion, but they resisted stubbornly, so they were all killed, and the middle-aged fat man is still lying in the arch, it should be the Zhang ...... you said. ”
But before he finished speaking, the sect member's face changed greatly: "Eh! The general is confused! As he spoke, the sect member glanced at Wang Xu with an anxious face, and after a little contemplation, he continued fiercely: "Since you have already killed, kill all the people in the whole mansion, especially all the relatives of Zhang Gui, don't leave any of them!" ”
Although Wang Xu heard these words in a fog, he knew that the sect members were not the kind of people who were easy to kill, and there must be a purpose in saying this. Immediately turned his head and shouted without hesitation: "Pass on my general order, Zhang Gui's private possession of the yellow scarf is a crime of treason, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, exterminate the three clans." ”
"No!" With the sound of neat promises, the generals didn't ask much, and quickly rushed around the mansion with the soldiers again. And Wang Xu turned around sternly and asked, "General Zong, what's going on?" You want to force me to do such a thing of extermination myself! ”
"Hey! This is also your own misfortune! In fact, I have long suspected that Zhang Lie is hiding here, but seeing that you have been restless for the past two days, I didn't tell you, but quietly sent someone to monitor you. But I didn't expect you to guess it, and you directly led the troops to kill. Saying that, the sect member couldn't help but sigh heavily, and continued with a worried face: "I was outside the city to urge the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and as soon as I received the news, I was already rushing to the horse, but I didn't expect it to be a step slower. ”
After talking for a long time, the sect member never got to the point, which made Wang Xu even more confused. "What do you mean? Shouldn't I be arrested? They resisted, and could I still watch them flee or let them slash and kill? ”
"It's not that they shouldn't be arrested, but they should be euphemistically reported after there is definite evidence, and when the order arrives, they will all be imprisoned, and they must not be killed!" Speaking of this, the sect member also shook his head helplessly, and continued with a wry smile: "At least you and I can't kill!" Because this Zhang Gui is Zhang Rang's most beloved nephew, Zhang Rang is respected by His Majesty as his father, and he is narrow-minded and unreasonable. Although he can't do anything about this matter, and he doesn't dare to make any articles, he will definitely hold you in the future. ”
"If it's just a report, then we are acting on orders, and in the end it is His Majesty who ordered the detention and beheading, and he doesn't dare to hold a grudge. But isn't what you're doing now so that he has found a target to vent his hatred? When I was in Yecheng, the capital of Wei County, I saw that Zhang Rang's mansion there exceeded the legal scale, but he first reported it to General Huangfu and did not dare to report it directly. ”
In fact, there is no need for the sect members to describe more, Wang Xu already understood the severity of this matter when he heard that the fat man was Zhang Rang's nephew. Although his face remained unchanged, he had already scolded in his heart: Damn! I tried every possible way to avoid the group of eunuchs, but I didn't expect it to be really coincidental, so I met it, and I killed Zhang Rang's nephew for no reason. Zhang Rang! One of the later ten permanent attendants, one of the most favored eunuchs by the emperor, and one of the most famous eunuchs in history. It's a real headache to offend them now!
As he thought about it more and more, the more worried Wang Xu became, he knew the power of eunuchs best. The Spirit Emperor is not dead, and he will definitely not be able to move! But now that things have been done and people are dead, what can we do? It seems that the only way to do this is to kill everyone in the mansion first according to what the sect member said, so as to avoid the leakage of the matter. Although the extermination of the clan is harmful to the heavens and peace, they will be killed by the Spirit Emperor sooner or later, and they can't care about that now.
But the sect member didn't know Wang Xu's thoughts, and when he saw his iron-blue face at the moment, he had misunderstood. I thought he was too upright to see this kind of thing, so he was holding his breath. Immediately, he couldn't help but persuade: "General, you are still too young, and you are extremely talented in the battle array, but things in this officialdom are sometimes more dangerous than the battlefield!" Since the eunuchs were in turmoil, the entire court has been hiding filth and dirt, and there are many corrupt people among the scholars. Really speaking, there is no problem with which of the scholars who still exist in this Guangzong City? ”
"It can even be said that in all the places where the yellow scarves have been affected, and the scholars are safe and sound, who has no problem? Except for the kind of celebrities who are very famous among the people and respected by the world, they dare not move the yellow scarves, and if the others did not hook up with the yellow scarves to do something, they would have been wiped out long ago. As for the Qingliu scholars, almost all of them resisted to the end, or moved their families before the Yellow Turbans arrived. And the reason why Zhang Jiao treats these corrupt scholars well is because he is afraid that all the scholars in the world will unite to resist to the death, after all, the power of the gate valve families in various places is very strong. So to put it bluntly, these people are the grass on the wall, and if they really come according to the law, they should all be killed. ”
"This kind of thing is understood by many people, even General Huangfu. But the reason why he didn't move, but spoke gently and comforted, is because the relationship between the scholars today is complicated, and if you really want to dig deeper, it will be amazing. Therefore, even if you have the ambition to prosper the country and secure the country, I believe that you have that kind of talent, but you must not rely on the blood in your heart to do it! This kind of thing can only be done by first punishing the most heinous first evil, and then little by little connecting loyal ministers and good generals, capable people with lofty ideals to slowly plot! ”
After listening to the sect member's words quietly, Wang Xu knew that the other party had misunderstood that he was the kind of young man with a bloody head. But he didn't explain, just shook his head with a sigh, and then respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Wang Xu has been taught!" ”
"Huh! The general doesn't have to be so polite. Smiling and rubbing his beard, the sect member looked at the northern sky with flickering eyes: "General Wang is both civil and military, and he can be the talent of Wang Zuo, and he will definitely be the humerus of the country in the future." The reason why I am so admonished is that I hope that you can assist His Majesty in the future and revive the prestige of my Han Dynasty in the past! ”
As he spoke, the sect member glanced at Wang Xu bitterly, but let out a long sigh: "Hey...... Maybe you can't obviously feel the decline of my Han, but we, the generals who have been at the border for many years, have the most direct and obvious feelings! Something really ......"
However, at this point, the sect member stopped abruptly, shook his head slowly, and gradually fell silent......
