Chapter 453: Mutation
After only a breath of standing in place, Gu Yanzhang sensed the origin of the smell.
It's all too familiar.
He had also killed people in Yanzhou before, and he had spent a long time in the transfer department before he had seen the corpse that had lost his breath, and he had also seen the head that had been salted and dried as a tool used to count his own merits, and it was easy to distinguish that the smell was emitted by the corpse after it had been left for a long time.
It's just that the climate in Guangnan is different from that of Yanzhou, Yanzhou is dry and dry, and the corpse is not easy to decompose, at this time the weather in Guangyuan Prefecture is hot, and the humidity is extremely heavy, and the mutton that is killed in the morning will stink at noon, and the corpse will be placed in the hall, maybe only one night, it will be able to give birth to the corpse smell.
He was not alone in smelling the smell.
Zhang Dingya stepped forward quickly and hurriedly walked to the coffin, which was obviously made temporarily and looked a little rough.
There were many rebels under Liang Jiong's subordinates in the hall, all of whom had taken off their armor at the moment, only wearing cloth clothes, and standing defenseless behind the coffin.
Everyone saw Zhang Dingya come forward, and did not stop him, only one person waited for him to get closer, and then pointed to the coffin and said: "I was about to return to Zhang Dujian, last night I was waiting to discuss the surrender of the mountain, but unexpectedly that Liang Jiong insisted on refusing, the brothers were bent on submitting to the court, and did not want to rebel again, but Liang Jiong only wanted to call Wang Liguo, and was killed by my brothers quickly, and it was already chopped into pulp, only in this coffin!" ”
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Gu Yanzhang would have wanted to laugh out loud.
He looked up and counted the number of people closest to the coffin.
It's three people.
They were all sitting on the first three big chairs under Liang Jiong yesterday, and they should be the three brothers who were named "princes" by Liang Jiong.
Which hand is this playing?
Do you make meritorious deeds?
is so straightforward, so blunt, do you regard him, Zhang Dingya, and thousands of officers and soldiers as fools?
Zhang Dingya's face in front of him was wrong.
However, the man didn't seem to see half of it at all, and said: "I heard that my brothers killed Liang Jiong, and he had his own cronies to report the news, and he had already fled with all of Liang Jiong's wife and child, because it was the middle of the night and left, I couldn't catch up, and I was worried that I would be able to go out, and if I wanted to cause trouble, it would cause the officers and soldiers to misunderstand, so I had to stay in the middle of the mountain, and wait for the capital prison to come, and then it would work." ”
He is unscrupulous, no matter before or after, no matter how many loopholes and faults there are in his words, he only looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Zhang Dingya used to only think that he had a lot of knowledge in his own family, but at this moment, he felt that his own knowledge was too little, and he was also young.
Gu Yanzhang took a few steps forward and glanced at the situation inside the coffin.
Sure enough, it was a corpse that had been chopped to pieces, especially the face, the flesh and blood were blurred, not to mention Liang Jiong, who said that this was Xi Shi who was sinking into the fish and falling geese, I am afraid that it will be impossible to refute.
The corpse was still "wearing" Liang Jiong's former official uniform.
Gu Yanzhang didn't know what expression to show.
Singing like this, it was full of flaws, just like the fox spirit standing on the stage, the water sleeves Shi Shiran flicked, and sang a song delicately, and when he turned around, he didn't even wear half of his clothes behind him, and his tail was swaggering and exposed, and his hair was fluffy and erect, but people couldn't even pick a mistake.
Looking at the coffin, even Liang Jiong's mother couldn't recognize whether this was the broken corpse of his own son, Gu Yanzhang was helpless and funny.
However, for him, whether Liang Jiong is dead or alive and where he goes does not have much impact.
Not to mention that although Liang Jiong himself committed a big crime, it is also a fact that Jizhou failed to pay the pension on time, but he was forced to rebel without any objection, and he was an old man he knew before, and the rebels came along the way, although they robbed the treasury, but they did not hurt the people. A good person has fallen to the pitiful position he is today, and as a bystander, it would be a lie to say that he does not have some sympathy.
Because of this, he hinted yesterday that Liang Jiong could find a way to hide his name and find another way out, just like Xu Mao. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to do it so roughly.
Unlike the Security Army and the Jinghu Xiang Army, and also different from Chen Hao, Gu Yanzhang is neither in the Privy Council, nor is he a military general, he can not only be promoted by military merits, but he must seize the return to the war, and it is naturally good to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter.
His age is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, no matter how much credit he makes, it is impossible to give a very reward, and he can already snicker if he can have two or three folds, because he has not particularly cared about the matter of making meritorious contributions.
This time he came back to persuade him to surrender, and Liang Jiong naturally lost a lot of credit, and it was not good to ask for a reward, but it did not have much impact on the counterinsurgency itself.
The three thousand rebels of the Guangxin Army have been surrendered, and Guangyuan Prefecture has been pacified, and when the matter is presented to the court, the Son of Heaven has spoken, and it is best to escort the rebels to Yanzhou Tuntian, if not, they have also fought for it, and they are worthy of their hearts.
At this point, the matter will be over, and Quang Nam will be able to return to tranquility for the time being, as long as it is good to be prepared.
Just do what you can do.
No matter what you do, as long as you do it seriously, you can always show your ability if you don't say anything about it.
Slowly tired a lot, the Son of Heaven will be able to see it, and when the day comes to fruition, he will go to cover that cool umbrella, no one can stop it, compared to the rest of the people to calculate, although it will take more time, although to do more things, but this is what he wants to do, so it is more secure.
Take your time, it should be his, and no one can snatch it away.
He is still so young, that is, he entered the cabinet at the age of forty, and he still has twenty years to accumulate, and the days are still long, so he is not in a hurry at this time.
Besides, Qingling is not in a hurry at all, rather than begging for a seal, it is more meaningful to spend more time with her.
Seeing that the matter was over, thinking of his wife at home, Gu Yanzhang couldn't wait to quickly throw the group of rebels in front of him to Yanzhou, so that his family could return to Beijing earlier.
***
No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to do what you want to do.
However, to Gu Yanzhang's surprise, in the process of sending troops to find Liang Jiong, the rebels reported another thing-
Xu Mao, who was already imprisoned, escaped from it without knowing what to do, and in addition, the Jiaozhi envoy who originally lived in the mountain was also missing.
The officers and soldiers hurriedly sent hundreds of soldiers to search for several days near Temo Cave, although they had dug all the nearby mouse holes and turned over the bird's nest, but there were still no clues.
Guangnan is already mountainous and mountainous, Guangyuan Prefecture is even more mountainous and forested, overgrown with trees, there are dozens of small mountains and mountains in the special grinding cave, among which the mountains and mountains, Liang Jiong has been stationed here for many years, as long as he randomly penetrates into a place, he will enter the sea with the fish, and want to find it again, there is really no possibility, but Xu Mao has never been here, and he actually ran away familiarly, and he didn't know if he had cast his fingers and walked with the other party.
After a few days, because they couldn't find it, it was impossible for the army to wait here endlessly, so they had to drive back to Yongzhou.
This time, with the rebels and their families, tens of thousands of people, they naturally walked much slower, and when they arrived in Yongzhou, before they could enter the city, Gu Yanzhang and Zhang Dingya got three pieces of news one after another.
Sun Mi and Yang Kuixu passed away.
Chen Hao couldn't afford to fall ill urgently.
The cross-toe knock has broken Qinzhou.
