Chapter 116: The Hammering Bull Incident (I)
In the afternoon, we arrived at the Xianghe set.
Luo Erniang purchased too many supplies, and was delayed for one day more than expected, and was just about to leave the island at this time. Yun Tianjia, Gong Luoluo, He Dali, and Xiong Zhuangzhuang just took a cargo ship back to Lotus Wood Dock.
Ge Zheng and Ge Yi followed the ship back to count the goods, while Luo Erniang, Sheng Jiong, Ding Shuo and six other soldiers stayed in Xiangheji and continued to complete the rest of the purchases.
Against the wind and current, it took five full days to return to Lotus Wood Dock.
As soon as he got off the boat, before he had time to unload the cargo, Dugu Wen's waist rushed to the ice to greet him, and said: "Tianjia! Fatty! You came at the right time! I am waiting for you to save my life!"
Yun Tianjia said: "Lucia only sent food some time ago, and it was eaten so quickly?"
"It's not a matter of eating!" Dugu Wen pulled Yun Tianjia's arm and said, "You don't care about the goods here, I will ask someone to unload them!"
"What the hell is going on? I don't think you look like you're going to die?"
Dugu Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Tianjia, I don't have the kung fu to joke with you now." The dragon shovel wants to kill Han Chao and Xin Peng! I won't listen to any persuasion, now let Pi Pi Xiang stop me for the time being, you guys go quickly!"
When He Dali heard this, he exclaimed: "What? What kind of madness is this Long Shovel? Where is it? Take me over quickly!" Han Chao and Xin Peng are his right-hand men, and Long Yuandong wants to kill them, of course he is in a hurry.
Dugu Wen's waist took the lead while briefly explaining the whole story.
It turned out that Xin Peng and Han Chao had eaten vegetarian dishes for more than ten days, and their mouths were bland and tasteless, so they wanted to get some meat to make a tooth sacrifice, but the desert island was narrow, and the beasts were extinct, and the ice and snow frozen lake, fishing was very difficult, and they went around the island for a few days, and they stared at the white buffalo used by the residents of Lotus Xiangwu to pull lotus roots, and said that they wanted to buy it.
This white buffalo is a second-order soul beast, docile temperament, very good at work, is one of the most important production tools for fishermen, and at the same time has been together for a long time, and also has feelings, and has long regarded it as a member of the family, no matter how Xin Peng and Han Chao say it, how high the price is, bite it to death and refuse to sell.
Xin Peng and Han Chao were furious, and hammered the two cows to death on the spot, saying that the living ones refused to sell, and the dead were always willing to sell them, right?
The fisherman took the gold soul coin given to him by Xin Peng, and cried to death, but because he was afraid of the majesty of the army, he did not dare to stretch out, and he couldn't figure it out in the middle of the night, so he threw himself into the river and committed suicide. His wife and children found the body, united with the residents of the island, wore linen and filial piety, and had the courage to complain to Long Yuandong. Long Yuandong was furious, and wanted to kill Xin Peng and Han Chao with military discipline, and at the same time give an explanation to the islanders.
While speaking, everyone came to the front of the Chinese military tent, only to see dozens of people kneeling underground, and Xin Peng and Han Chao were tied to the stump solidly. The Dragonarmor warriors interrupted their training to maintain order on the perimeter.
A little outside, almost all the residents of the island came, and more than 200 men, women, and children gathered in a dozen piles, talking to each other and pointing fingers.
Long Yuandong stood with a cold face and his hands in his hands, his teeth clenched.
Originally, he had been worried, the impression of the imperial army in the hearts of the people at the bottom was too bad, and everywhere the Longhe army went, the local people fled from afar like a plague god.
Now it is rare that Lotus Xiangwu has no prejudice, and the righteousness has contained the Longjia Army, and the Longjia Army can not repay virtue with virtue, but to bully them, take advantage of it, and force the fishermen to death, if this matter is not properly resolved, what face will there be in the future to gain a foothold in Lotus Xiangwu? How to win the trust of the people and establish a good reputation of the Longjia Army?
Not to mention that in the future, I will have to face the blame of Lucia and others.
Who let Xin Peng and Han Chao crash into the muzzle of the gun? Now only by killing them can the problem be completely solved!
If you don't kill, it's not enough to be angry!
If you don't kill, it's not enough to establish military prestige!
If you don't kill, it's not enough to spread your reputation!
Long Yuandong had 10,000 reasons to kill Xin Peng and Han Chao, but he didn't do it for a long time!
Xin Peng and Han Chao are his favorite generals, and they are the two generals who have cultivated the original Longhe Army as the highest in addition to himself, He Dali, and Dugu Wen.
Wouldn't it be a pity that they didn't die in Trapped Dragon Bay, didn't die in the pursuit of the Five Elements Sect, didn't they die on the battlefield, but died in such an inexplicable civil dispute?
To kill or not to kill, Long Yuandong is very painful!
Because of this, although Long Yuandong was angry, he didn't make a decision easily!
Otherwise, how could Pi Pi Xiang alone stop Long Yuandong? Pi Pi Xiang's obstruction only gave him an excuse to buffer and delay.
However, it can't be delayed for long.
The grieving and indignant people need a result, an answer, and a public heart!
They had been kneeling before the tent for half an hour, and no matter how much the elephant tried to persuade them, they would not get up.
Among the people who complained, the deceased's father, Old Man Zhao, suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, and more than a dozen people immediately shouted, screamed, insinuated, reprimanded and complained, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Pippi was like Zhong Dinghe and quickly woke up the old man.
Long Yuandong took a deep breath, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Fathers, you want justice, I will give you justice today." The two generals of the Longjia Army, Xin Peng and Han Chao, have killed countless enemies in their lives and have also made great contributions to the country. However, merit is merit, and it is a fault, they killed your cattle and forced your family to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river, then I will let them take their lives for their lives!"
The complainants prostrate one after another, and the cries, cheers, and praises rang out in one voice.
They came to avenge their grievances, of course, to let the murderer be punished, but when Long Yuandong really decided to kill Xin Peng and Han Chao, most people didn't feel much joy in their hearts.
The cow is dead, the man is dead, even if the perpetrator is killed, what can be done, is it possible that both the cow and the man will come back to life?
"Can't kill!" He vigorously broke into front of the crowd and said loudly: "The two generals, Xin Peng and Han Chao, just hammered two cows to death, and gave money, why kill them?"
Old man Zhao said sharply: "Then my son is also dead, how can it be counted?"
Long Yuandong killed the perpetrator, and the people may not be very happy, but if they don't kill the perpetrator, they will definitely be very unhappy!
"Your son committed suicide, what does it have to do with the two generals?" He Dali wanted to exonerate Xin Peng and Han Chao, but he was a little unscrupulous.
When Old Man Zhao heard this, his halberd fingers trembled and said, "You...... You ......" a mouthful of thick phlegm can't come smoothly, and you cough violently!
"Shut up for me!" Long Yuandong pushed He Dali away and shouted, "Giant axeman, ready to be executed!"
He vigorously stopped in front of Xin Peng and Han Chao, and said loudly: "Long Iron Shovel! Xin Peng and Han Chao are my brothers! If you want to kill them, step on my corpse first!"
Long Yuandong was furious: "You get out of the way for me!"
Croda fought against each other: "Whoever wants to kill him today is my fat man's enemy!"
Xin Peng's eyes were red: "General He! I am very content to be a brother with you in this life! Don't stop you, since the two of us have violated military discipline, we should be killed, and we will continue! It's a pity that we didn't die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of these small people!"
Han Chao yelled: "Lao Tzu is not convinced!"
