Chapter 258: Misfortune
Zhou Xiaocao sighed, walked over and said, "You have also run out of Kang Boquan's head, it's time to hand it over to me." ”
Wan Piaohong lowered her head and secretly wiped the tears on her face, but the red eyes couldn't hide it. It's just that for girls, there should still be occasional actions of covering their ears and stealing bells. Isn't there such a saying, if a woman is willing to sacrifice the time to go shopping to dress herself, someone must be willing to accompany you shopping; If a man is willing to sacrifice his sleep time to do a career, someone must be willing to sleep with you. Of course, if the one who goes shopping with you is a dog and the one who sleeps with you is also a man, then I'd rather continue to be decadent.
After settling her mind, Wan Piaohong stood up from the ground, glanced at her mother's deserted grave, and said to Zhou Xiaocao: "It's just a human head, you think I want it." ”
"Poof!"
Under Wan Piaohong's stunned gaze, Zhou Xiaocao knelt directly where Wan Piaohong had knelt just now, then clenched his fists and solemnly kowtowed a few times.
"What are you doing here? That's my mother, okay? ”
Wan Piaohong was a little angry, what did it mean to bury her mother who had died tragically for many years in this tomb, Zhou Xiaocao was here to pay respects?
Zhou Xiaocao said solemnly: "Although she is your mother, she is also one of the many innocent victims who were persecuted by Na Kang Boquan. As the emperor's envoy, I have only brought Kang Boquan to justice so far, and I am already ashamed of these victims. Today, let your mother, as a representative, accept this visit from me on behalf of the imperial court. ”
"You"
As soon as one word came out, Wan Piaohong's eyes were filled with tears again. Remembering the tragic death of my mother. Father's sadness, and the days and nights when he endured hatred and torment in the cottage. Wan Piaohong was deeply touched by Zhou Xiaocao's words.
Yes, as long as the court has this intention. The people of Xingyang are already grateful to Dade. Our Chinese people are so lovely, and what they ask for is actually not high.
Zhou Xiaocao got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said, "I'll take the head, I still need it to give an account to the people of Xingyang." ”
Wan Piaohong turned his face away and said, "Take it away if you want to, a bloody human head." It's terrible to look at, and the ghost is willing to ask for it. ”
Zhou Xiaocao was surprised: "Huh? Then you still desperately grabbed it, isn't it for the collection? ”
Wan Piaohong stomped her little foot and said, "Who wants to collect that?" I brought it here, not because, because you're not with me, I'm on my own! ”
Zhou Xiaocao said, "Oh? If I'm by your side, are you going to rely on me? It's fresh. ”
Wan Piaohong stomped her feet again, such as what she wanted to say in her heart. It can't be said, at least not now. Anyway, the Zhou Xiaocao in front of him, General Zhou. They are all the big enemies of her cottage, and the five owners of the village are all killed by him. Wan Piaohong's heart at the moment. It should be full of hatred, how can you say that you want to "rely on him"?
There was a heavy "snort" in his nose. Wan Piaohong ran away. Zhou Xiaocao shouted behind him, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
Wan Piaohong's voice came: "You want to care?" I can go wherever I want. Children of the rivers and lakes, the four seas are home! ”
Seeing Wan Piaohong running away, Zhou Xiaocao shook her head secretly and muttered in a low voice: "Alas, this girl"
But if you want to come to Wan Piaohong's ability, you shouldn't be at a loss. And with her temperament, if she suffers a loss, she will definitely come to herself. This woman needs to be relied on in her bones, and she knows how strongly she relies on her parents. Although Wan Tieshan insisted on becoming a monk, he still chose to live under the mountain, wasn't he afraid that something would happen to his baby daughter? Later, after Sun Tianshi said that the killing stopped at the evil fate, he also knew that Zhou Xiaocao would take care of the red one on his behalf, so he was relieved to travel all over the world with Sun Tianshi.
Glancing at the human head on the ground, the blood and dirt under the neck were mixed together, it looked dirty, and there was no trace of blood on the pale face, and Kang Boquan's eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Zhou Xiaocao muttered: "You old guy, just die like this, it's cheap for you." Those things you did in your lifetime, just pick out a few random things, and it is enough to be tortured by Ling Chi and others. Now that you have only been beheaded, you will thank me when you go to Hades. ”
Looking at this head again, Zhou Xiaocao always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, after walking a few steps, he plucked a small yellow multi-petaled flower from the weeds on the grave, pinned it to Kang Boquan's unkempt hair, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Well, that's pretty much it! This old pervert is also suitable for this. ”
Kang Boquan's head returned to Nanshi, the place where it should have stayed. A straight pole was erected at the entrance of the South Market, and Kang Boquan's head hung on it. I don't know where a goshawk flew over from nowhere, pecked out Kang Boquan's eyes, leaving two black hole sockets, which were very scary to look at. But the topic of Kang Boquan in the market is still constantly mentioned, which is exactly in response to the old saying, brother has not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but there is still a legend of brother in the rivers and lakes. This Kang Boquan can be said to be glorious even though he is dead.
After resting in Xingyang City for another day, Zhou Xiaocao prepared to march out of the army and return to the capital. After all, the longer this time drags on, the greater the pressure on the emperor's side. The gap of 300,000 taels of silver is blocked, but the money is still far away in Xingyang. At this time, the communication conditions are so low, if you don't put the money in front of them, those soldiers of the forbidden army will not buy your account.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Xiaocao was dressed up and ready to leave for the capital under the "care" of the four charms of Begonia, especially under the care of Xianglanjun. Speaking of the beautiful wives and concubines in the family, Zhou Xiaocao couldn't wait to meet them. Especially the little grass, it is even more moved, and the first thing to do when you wake up every morning is to calm it down.
Zhou Xiaocao summoned the officers here and asked him to temporarily implement military management, this Kang Boquan has been in Xingyang for eight years, and the administrative officials here, Zhou Xiaocao is not very trustworthy. Since there was no precedent for replacing government with the military, Zhou Xiaocao called Old Man Ding and other elders and ordered them to form a temporary "Council of Elders" to supervise the execution of the military. After doing all this, Zhou Xiaocao put his mind at ease and prepared to return to Beijing.
A cough sounded outside the door, and Zhou Xiaocao said, "Since they are all here, why don't you come in, it's very pleasant to walk around?" ”
Hearing Zhou Xiaocao's words, the footsteps outside stopped, and a person pushed the door in, it was Wang Rui, the general who made a great effort in the process of suppressing bandits.
Wang Rui walked in, first saluted Zhou Xiaocao, and then said: "General Zhou, the last general didn't want to disturb the general, but this time, the last general is really incompetent!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao was strange and asked: "This Kang Boquan is also dead, and the bandits on the mountain have also been wiped out by our nest, what else is there that your General Wang can't do?" ”
Wang Rui lowered his head and said, "The last general is incompetent!" Those soldiers who were wounded in the course of the crackdown on bandits are still deteriorating and show no signs of improvement. The last general really has no choice, so he came to disturb General Zhou's incompetence, please punish the general! ”
When Zhou Xiaocao heard this, her breath became short. Instead of getting better, the injuries of those wounded are getting worse? If this continues, it is not impossible to be disabled for life or die here!
Zhou Xiaocao took a breath of cool air as if he had a toothache and said, "You say, the injuries of those wounded are worsening instead?" Medicated? You have to use good medicine, you know! ”
Wang Rui lowered his head and said with difficulty: "General, we have invited the best Lang Zhong in the local area, and we have also used the best Lang medicine, but the injuries of the soldiers have been deteriorating, and we can't control it!" ”
"Smack!"
Zhou Xiaocao slapped it out, and Wang Rui spun around half a circle on the spot, and then, Wang Rui turned around and knelt on the ground with a "poof": "The last general is incompetent!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao kicked over again: "Incompetent!" How many soldiers' injuries have been delayed by your incompetence? ”
Zhou Xiaocao's kick was kicked out with anger, and Wang Rui ate this kick hard, turned over twice on the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood in his mouth.
Without looking at Wang Rui on the ground, Zhou Xiaocao said coldly: "Take me to see the brothers!" (To be continued......)
