Where is Fan Qin such a person who is so easy to move, in anger, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, shook it heavily, and shouted loudly, "You Diao people, it seems that I don't give you some color to see, you don't know how powerful the Pontus Governor is!" ”

The whips in this barracks are all made of extremely thick muntjac skin, and only two or three strokes on the body are enough to make people's skin open, not to mention the vigorous wielding of an officer like him, but in a moment, the man's back is already dripping with blood, kneeling on the ground and rolling over and over.

"Don't fight, don't fight, sir! Please! Lift up your noble hand and spare him! Qing'e kowtowed one after another, and bruises had already appeared on her white forehead.

Heng Xinyuan, who was standing on the side, really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Fan Dudu, you are abusing lynching!" Stop it! ”

Fan Qin stopped the horsewhip in his hand and looked at him arrogantly, "Lord Heng, what's the matter, you want to stand up for these Diao people again?" ”

"Diao Min?" Heng Xinyuan sneered, "Fan Dudu is a Diao Min, is it a bit inappropriate, they are all the people of Jiang State, living on the king's land, working diligently all day long, why did they become Diao Min?" ”

"They don't listen to the military orders of the governor, it's not that the people are anything!"

"This peasant woman has already told the governor about her family's difficulties, and the conscription must also consider the actual situation in the local area, why is she so arrogant?" Heng Xinyuan looked at the dying man who had been whipped by a horse on the ground, and the woman with tears streaming down her face, and the anger in her heart was about to reach the top.

"The actual situation is that the imperial court is now short of soldiers and horses! In case of war and a shortage of soldiers, can Lord Heng afford this responsibility? Fan Qin glared at him fiercely, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

"As far as I know, the current soldiers of the imperial court are already in a state of fullness, and Fan Dudu asked for these strong men, but it is just to strengthen the army under his command, which is against military regulations." Heng Xinyuan said lightly.

"You!" Fan Qin was a little weak-hearted, and knew that if he continued to argue with him, he would not have any good fruit to eat, so he had to ride on his horse and shout, "Take these three hundred strong men with me, and go to the next house while it's still early!" ”

There was a crying voice in the team, almost all of these strong men have parents, wives and children, and there are almost no brothers and sisters to support each other, if they are all taken away, I am afraid that they will become the next Qijia Village.

Heng Xinyuan hurriedly blocked their way, "Fan Dudu, why don't we renegotiate the conscription system." ”

"What is there to discuss, the system is all left by the ancestors, don't you think I don't know what you have done to the emperor these days, has the emperor taken care of you?" He laughed out loud, not taking Heng Xinyuan in his eyes at all.

"Lord Fan, fighting is important, but the farmers and the fields cannot be ignored either, if all the strong men in the village are expropriated, then who will plow the land? In the long run, people's livelihood will wither, and it will not be beneficial to the country. ”

Although Heng Xinyuan's words were sincere, Fan Qin, a military general, after hearing these words, only thought that he was farting, and didn't take it to heart at all, becoming more and more impatient, and waved the whip in his hand and whipped it towards Heng Xinyuan's arm.

The thin clothes were suddenly torn, and there was a terrifying blood mark on his arm.

Heng Xinyuan stood in place with his arms covered, not giving in a single step, and the people behind him were also filled with righteous indignation, and they stopped one after another and did not go with them.

Someone in the crowd dared to shout, "Lord Heng is a good person!" You can't do it! ”

"Yes, yes! Master Heng is a good person! We're not going with you! ”

Fan Qin glared at his eyes, turned over from the horse, whipped the horse in his hand, and roared, "Who shouted!" Who shouted just now! Stand up for me! ”

No one answered.

"Okay, if no one comes forward, then don't blame Bendu for being unkind!"

As he spoke, he jerked out the sword at his waist and stabbed it hard at the man who had just been beaten above the ground.

The blade stabbed straight into his right chest, and with a scream, blood spurted wildly, and the man fell to the ground after a few convulsions.

Qing'e was frightened by the sudden tragedy, and her face turned pale, and the man who hugged her blood was overwhelmed with grief.

Fan Qin looked at Heng Xinyuan proudly, then at the villagers standing behind him, and said proudly, "See?" Whoever says more will end up like him! ”

"Master Fan, who gave you the power to kill people at will!" Heng Xinyuan's body trembled with anger, he thought that no matter how fierce Fan Qin was, it was impossible for him to make drastic moves, but he didn't expect him to kill a powerless villager in broad daylight like killing an ant.

"This is also a last resort." Fan Qin smiled sinisterly, and anyone who saw that face would be furious.

When the situation was at a stalemate, in the dust flying in the distance, Zhao Yanyi rode a horse and shouted, "The heart is far away, the heart is far away!" The Emperor's decree is here! ”

The crowd hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground to meet the holy decree.

Zhao Yanyi galloped over, dismounted in front of him, and helped Heng Xinyuan up, sweating profusely, and his breath was still a little uneven, "Xinyuan, the emperor just passed the decree, saying that according to your performance, this year's conscription will be suspended!" ”

"Really?" Heng Xinyuan seemed to have heard some good news of amnesty, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat just now suddenly fell back.

"Lord Fan, did you hear the emperor's order?" Zhao Yanyi looked at him with a cold face.

"I heard it, Ben Du obeyed his orders!" Fan Qin got up from the ground disdainfully and led the people to leave.

"Lord Fan, please stay, this villager died innocently today, don't you have no responsibility at all?" Heng Xinyuan stopped him, pointed to the man lying in a pool of blood on the ground and asked, "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that you are just a governor!" Can it be that you can walk away without regard for human life? ”

Fan Qin was not afraid of his intimidation at all, "Lord Heng, listening to what you mean, don't you want to put this official in prison?" I advise you to die of this heart! The emperor won't do anything to me! Hum! ”

After saying that, he whipped the horse's ass hard and walked away.

"Okay, Xinyuan, the coming day will be long, let him go first." Zhao Yanyi grabbed him, tried to calm his emotions, tilted his head to see the scar on his shoulder, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with this injury?" Could it be that this Fan Qin still dares to do something to you? It's so unseemly! ”

"I'm a minor injury, it's just ...... This villager is really innocent......"

He walked up to Qing'e in pain, took off the money bag he was carrying and handed it to her, "Your name is Qing'e, right?" Blame me for today's events...... Don't worry, I will definitely pay you justice, you can take the money first, if there are any difficulties, just go to the government to find me. ”

Qing'e was already crying silently, wiped a handful of hazy teary eyes, and said with a little despair, "My lord, we know that you have done your best, if you want to blame, you can only blame this world, and don't give us a way to live for these......"
