Chapter Ninety-Nine: Conviction (I)
Overnight, thirty-seven officers and soldiers were killed and three hundred and one wounded, but the 1,000 barbarians who came to invade were wiped out by the whole army, and the corpses were counted.
Count the corpses, behead one thousand and six levels, all of them are fierce strong men, it can be said that all the barbarians in this county are only 20,000, and the real strong young are only 4,000, this time it was folded by a quarter, and it was also one of the elite people, which actually made the strength of the barbarian division at least half removed.
Fang Xin immediately ordered someone to count the heads, and said with a smile: "Pickle all the heads, this is all a merit in the future!" β
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Yang said happily.
"Then the county will go and rest first." Fang Xin laughed and said, he calmed down, he had already seen that Yu Ruyi had some more merits, but strangely, this was an unseen red.
"Yes, my lord, please rest!"
Fang Xin nodded, and was about to leave with a few people, at this time, corpses were all over the ground, blood flowed on the stones of the street, and some even formed a small pool of blood, which was shocking.
The fires had been extinguished in the distance, the gates of the streets were closed and frightened, and when one street was crossed, the houses that had only been extinguished were visible, and some of the corpses were faintly visible, and even some of them were reduced to recognizable char.
In addition to the smoke that is still rising from the extinguished houses, the county has returned to calm. A room that was dismantled, Fang Xin's heart moved, and it seemed that there was an attraction in it, and he couldn't help but look at it. But I saw that there was a courtyard inside, and there was blood everywhere in the courtyard, and seven or eight indigenous corpses were lying on the ground, dripping with blood, and nearby, it was the man of the family. Women, children, corpses are still freshly dried with blood. It is obvious that the natives are desperate, breaking into the houses to resist stubbornly, and the civilians who are shocked and break down the doors, of course, regardless of men, women and children, all cut and kill indiscriminately.
"See? If the city is broken, even if the city is not slaughtered, the people will become fish and meat. Ay. A hundred years of founding the country, killing to stop killing, and now it must be like this. Fang Xin said with emotion.
"Yes, that's what your lord said!" Wu Jie responded.
Just as Fang Xin stepped over a corpse and was about to leave, a sudden change occurred.
The corpse, which had no breath and was completely bloodless, suddenly stabbed to the ground.
Between the sudden elbow changes, Fang Xin didn't have the slightest premonition, but the sword light came out. Fang Xin had already noticed it and was about to move immediately, but then he was shocked and found that all the nerves in his body were paralyzed for a while.
How similar these were to the first time he was attacked, Fang Xin was shocked. Mobilize the power of Yu Ruyi again. The brilliance of merit immediately rushes up, the inner breath and the body. That's how it was mobilized.
At this moment, the tip of the knife had already pierced into the clothes, Fang Xin's martial arts at this time were already extraordinary, as soon as the paralysis was gone, he immediately retreated stiffly, Rao was so, blood splashed, the tip of the knife had pierced into the abdomen by an inch, and after retreating, he opened a big gap.
At this time, the surrounding people reacted, Wu Jie shouted, pulled out his knife, intercepted the second knife, and the soldiers behind him pulled out their knives again and again and stabbed them together.
Several long knives pierced into the man's body without any obstruction, and the man was stunned for a moment before he collapsed.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, are you alright?" Before killing this person, the surrounding soldiers immediately shouted, seeing that Fang Xin's abdomen was stained red with blood, his face was pale and crumbling, and Wu Jie's face was also pale.
"Hurry up, send the adults back to the county office!" Wu Jie immediately dismantled the door panel, and the surrounding soldiers immediately reacted, bandaged it roughly, and then carried Fang Xin to the door panel, and hurriedly rushed towards the county officeβthere were good wound medicine and doctors.
It was actually not far from the county office, and it didn't take much time for Fang Xin to be transported to the county office, and immediately, the doctor stepped forward to treat Fang Xin's wounds.
This news was immediately conveyed to the adults, and the officials who had not had time to rejoice after receiving the good news immediately received the bad news, and everyone was disgraced.
When Zhang Yang and Qi Zhiqing arrived in the county office, Zheng Yongze, the county governor, Gu Qingbin, and the lord Bo Qiao Jieying were already in place, and they saw that these two people were covered with sweat, and there were even traces of blood, so the county Cheng Zheng Yongze drank: "Go, after the shower, enter the hall to talk." β
Zhang Yang did not retreat, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how is the situation of adults?" "Lord Zhang, Lord Zhixian was stabbed in the abdomen and has been treated inside, Wu Jie is the head of the yamen, but the protection is not good, hum, he has already been punished with thirty sticks, and when the adult is a little better, he will deal with it!"
Military law is strict, if the chief officer dies, then according to the system of personal soldiers will be executed, and in peacetime, although the official law is not as strict as military law, but the lord of a county is stabbed, if he dies, with the head of the team, it is immediately a big crime of exile.
Even if you don't die, these thirty sticks are a matter of course.
Zhang Yang listened, so he didn't speak, at this time, there were already people around to cook soup and wait for a bath, and he also went by himself, but for a moment, the two came over again, and they both sat on the chairs in the hall and did not speak.
For a moment, the room was silent, and only the sound of dressing changes and packaging was heard inside.
At this moment, suddenly a dazzling white light, and then an earth-shattering thunderbolt fell from mid-air, startling everyone in the main hall to change color.
"It's raining! It's really stormy! Everybody thought so.
After a while, I saw the doctor come out, and when I saw the officials, I "snapped" to salute, and the county lieutenant Gu Qingbin said impatiently: "Don't salute, say, how is the situation?" β
"Returning to my lords, the injury of the county magistrate is very serious, pierced into the internal organs, and lost a lot of blood, and the villain is afraid of typhoid cold, although he is washed with wine, but here is ......" The doctor said here, and stopped talking.
This is, of course, the southwest, a famous plague place, and the meaning is needless to say, listen, everyone changes color.
"What do you mean, don't spit out, say it quickly!" County Cheng Zheng Yongze couldn't bear it anymore at this time.
"Yes, the adult's injury is very dangerous, if it is to be healed, it is not a matter of time and day, and it is best to transfer it to the mainland for treatment, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal."
County Cheng Zheng Yongze listened, with a wooden face, and then waved him down, at this time, the sky was not yet bright, the candles were about to run out, and a servant stepped forward, lit a new lamp, and then silently withdrew.
At this moment, a maid came out of the room, and everyone looked up, it was the girl who was newly accepted by the magistrate a few days ago, and she whispered: "Adults, adults are awake, please come in." β
Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately automatically stood in a row according to their rank, and invariably rushed inside.
Lying on the bed, he was lying on the letter, his face was as pale as paper, and when he saw everyone saluting, he waved it and said, "Don't be polite, just say something!" β
"Please show me."
"This time, the barbarian division of this county has been injured, men, women and children, the whole clan is only 20,000 people, deducting women and children, and the men are only seven or eight thousand, this thousand is the best of the strong, and now they are all dead, it is the day, even if the city is besieged, as long as we are safe and do not afford civil strife, it will be fine." Fang Xin's tone was soft, but his voice was clear.
"It's all the work of adults!" The officials present said.
"I'm not the only one...... It's ......" Speaking of this, he coughed, and everyone saw a trace of blood spilling out of his mouth, and he was immediately shocked, and said, "My lord, don't say much, lie down and rest." β
Fang Xin gasped for a moment, waved his hand, and said: "This time the merit is great, we can divide some of the top and bottom, and don't leave one behind, Song Wenchen, you know how to do it, write the chapter, report it to the county and the provincial court, after writing it, show it to all the adults first, and then report it to me!" β
"The villain understands, the villain understands!" Song Wenchen said continuously, and when he saw Fang Xin closing his eyes, as if he was struggling, he hurriedly said: "My lord, now that the big thing has been accomplished, you can rest in peace first, and the rest of the things will be taken care of by the adults." β
"Yes, yes, we'll take care of these things." Everyone hurriedly spoke.
"Political affairs, let the county lord handle it first." Fang Xin said this last sentence, and then, seeing everyone saluting, he slowly retreated.
When everyone had withdrawn, Abel came in, and she said, "My lord, do you want me to treat you?" β
Fang Xin opened his eyes at this time, his eyes were dark, and he said, "Don't, wait some time, the county may send someone to check on my injuries, at least until then." β
"My lord, then why don't you want to be treated, but want to leave?" Abel asked, "I don't think it's a bad form, as you said, the enemy has lost the backbone of the elite, and the siege is just in vain!" β
Fang Xin sighed secretly, of course he was not as injured as he looked on the outside, he just said: "If you believe me, get out of here quickly, this is my last advice, you should quit first!" β
Seeing that she snorted coldly and retreated, there was no one in the room, Fang Xin showed a confused expression, took out the jade Ruyi, and saw that in the jade Ruyi, there was a red light, there were a hundred copies, which was the merit obtained just now.
But according to himself, he saw that above his head, there was a black gas, and the original official spirit had been suppressed to the lowest, and only a line remained tenaciously maintained.
"Why? I have defeated the enemy, on the one hand, I have gained merit, and on the other hand, I have lost my spirit. Is it really the sin of heaven? β
