Chapter 223: Before Calming Down
[Let the monthly pass be hi for a while]
An Zheng was discussing things with Qu Liuxi when someone knocked on the door in a hurry outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Du Shou Shou shouted outside: "An Zheng, come out and see, something happened." ā
An Zheng pushed open the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Slender looked a little unsightly: "When we attacked the Gao family casino before, the people on the street who were taught by you to open snack bars here also followed, and I didn't have time to care about it at that time." Someone just said that a few of them beat up those high-ranking guys who surrendered under the sign of our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and asked each of them to hand over a thousand taels of silver, otherwise they would be killed. ā
An Zheng frowned: "What about people?"
Du said thinly: "A few were caught by our patrol people, and the rest ran away." ā
An Zheng strode out: "Go and see." ā
When I walked into the compound, I saw three or four people kneeling there with their heads in their hands, and their faces were bloodless with fright. An Zheng walked up to them and stopped, pointing, "That's all?"
Du Slender nodded.
An Zheng took a closer look, these people knew each other, and they were also well-known ruffians in Xicheng. These people don't dare to do bad things, but there is nothing they don't do. At the beginning, it was because what they did was not too evil, so An Zheng took everyone to the outside of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect to settle down, thinking that there were people from the Apocalypse Sect staring at them every day, and they didn't dare to do bad things anymore. What I didn't expect was that once this kind of person had a chance, the disgust in his bones would still be released.
An Zheng asked, "Scaring people?"
Those few people knelt there, and they didn't dare to come out.
An Zheng said: "Didn't you say that you were very good at bullying people? ā
One of them replied in a trembling voice, "Sect Master...... We...... We also want to contribute to the Apocalypse Sect, don't we? is saying that those people in the Gao family have not done anything bad, and we are also venting our anger to the neighbors by doing this. We, we're not really trying to do bad things. ā
An Zheng sighed: "Do you want to breathe for the neighbors? When my Heavenly Apocalypse Sect didn't make a move on the Spiegel High Hall, why didn't I see a few of you go out to fight for righteousness." ā
An Zheng asked, "What about the people they beat?"
Du Shou pointed not far away: "The guys from the Spiegel Hall are all taking care of it over there, and these people don't know what to do with it yet." ā
An argued: "Bring all the people who were beaten." ā
Du Shou gave an order, and the people of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect immediately brought over those tall guys who had been beaten. These people have been frightened by An Zheng, and when they saw An Zheng all kneeling down, kowtowing like garlic, they thought that An Zheng was going to kill them all. The people of the Gao family can be said to be hostile to An Zheng, and they are all afraid. When An Zheng was killing alone in the Gaojia Casino over there, many people saw it. At that time, the Gao family mobilized a lot of people to go over, and there were not a few people who saw An Zheng kill people with their own eyes. Now that they are all in the hands of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, they are even more scared.
An Zheng asked, "What do these people say?"
One of the men knelt there and replied, "Sect Master Hui'an, they said that each of us should hand over a thousand taels of silver to buy our lives." If we hand it over, they will put us back, and if we don't, they will immediately behead us. ā
An Zheng asked again: "When you were beaten, did you fight back?"
The guy hurriedly said, "No, no, how dare you." ā
An Zheng beckoned, and a disciple brought a chair. An Zheng sat down on the chair and said, "I like to watch people fight, since you are willing to fight, then fight in front of me." I give those who win the battle a chance to get out of this gate safely. ā
The faces of the ruffians who beat people immediately changed, and they all kept kowtowing: "An Ye, An Ye, we can also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." An Ye, we know that An Ye is wrong. ā
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "I told you a few people at the beginning, a man, bullying honest people, bullying women and children, bullying the poor, is it considered a man? Find pleasure from bullying people who dare not fight back, how humble are you? To put it bluntly, you people are just a group of impotence goods, and you can only fantasize about how enjoyable you others when you masturbate, and you have a sense of conquest." Even if people like you go out and rape women, you don't dare to dance to maturity, because you are afraid of being embarrassed. ā
He pointed to the people around: "Make a place for them to fight, I will do what I say, and those who win the battle can walk out of this gate safely." ā
Those tall guys who had been beaten before all stood up and hugged their fists towards An Zheng: "Xie Anye, give me a chance." ā
A few of them walked towards the ruffians, and the ruffians were all frightened by this situation. They ran out with rolling and crawling, but they were held down and beaten by those guys of the Gao family. Although most of the guys in the Gao family are not cultivators, they are all very strong. And these ruffians are really just like An Zheng said, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. It's really such a one-on-one heads-up, and they're really afraid.
Even when such a person is bullying people, he doesn't dare to be alone, and the gangs appear to be menacing, but in fact, the humility in his bones is heavier than anyone else.
After a while, the guys of the Gao family beat those ruffians beyond recognition. An Zheng looked at it and waved his hand: "Send these people to Qu Maniac, and take them to the cargo operation side to do coolies." ā
The people below agreed, passed like a wolf, grabbed those people and walked out.
One of them roared, "Master An...... You don't have the right to let us do coolies, and you're not the master of Fanggu Mansion, why did you send us out. ā
An Zheng smiled: "I am indeed not the great master of Fang Gu Mansion, but I can decide your fate. It's like when you bully people, you think that you are better than the people you are bullying them, so you can change their fate with impunity. I'm the same, you just haven't met a man with good intentions but cruel methods than you. You have seen people from my Heavenly Apocalypse Sect helping the old man cross the road, and you have also seen people from my Heavenly Apocalypse Sect killing people. ā
An Zheng turned around and ordered: "Check who else is in their family, send some silver, and say that they have all been recruited by the government to join the army." ā
His men answered, and escorted them away.
The tall guy who won the battle asked cautiously: "An Ye, can we really go?"
An Zheng nodded: "Let's go, the man has to talk, and the big husband is hard to chase after him." I told you to let you out of this gate safely, and you won't regret it. ā
The guys hurriedly hugged their fists and thanked them, and they didn't want to stay for a second and ran towards the door.
An Zheng waved his hand: "After going out, they all broke their legs and dragged them back." ā
After a while, there was a ghost crying wolf howling outside, and the big men of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect dragged those people back by the ankles. Those few people screamed in pain, and someone shouted at An Zheng: "An Zheng, you don't fucking talk!"
An Zheng said: "Count, I said that you will walk out of the gate safely, that is, out of the gate." ā
An Zheng sat on the chair and looked at the guys and asked, "Do you feel wronged?" Think about the people who have been bullied by you all these years, each of them has been wronged ten thousand times heavier than you. ā
One of the guys shouted, "You're not qualified to judge us!"
An Zheng nodded: "In terms of national law, I really don't." ā
He instructed: "All these guys from the Gao family are sent to the goods to do coolies, and a hundred catties of grain sent to Dongjiang can save the lives of the family, let the madman Qu calculate according to this, let them save people in Dongjiang, and when the people they save can repay the sins they have done, then give them freedom." ā
An Zheng stood up and said, "I'll say this, you have saved enough refugees in Dongjiang, and I will give you freedom." I'm not afraid that you will come back to me for revenge, anytime, anywhere. But now, you are prisoners, and your fate has been changed by me. ā
All the guys of the Gao family were escorted out, and it wasn't long before a carriage came outside. Xu Zhengsheng, the prefect of Fanggu Mansion, walked in with a happy face, and after seeing An Zheng, he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "The lower official pays a visit to Lord An." ā
According to the current official position of An Zheng, he is the minister of the guard, the deputy commander of the guard of Tianji Palace, and the fourth grade. The prefect of Fanggu Mansion is a positive fifth grade, which is half a level lower than An Zheng. Moreover, An Zheng still has the title of first-class earl, so it is reasonable for Xu Zhengsheng to salute An Zheng.
"Why is Lord Xu here?"
An Zheng asked.
Xu Zhengsheng said flatteringly: "The lower official was ordered to lead the team to inspect the remnants of the Gao family's rebellion against the party, if Lord An is convenient...... Can all of these people be given to the lower officials?"
An Zheng suddenly realized that this guy was here to be captured. He brought these guys from the Gao family back and reported to the upper authorities how many people he had arrested, which was also a great credit.
An argued: "I won't give it to you, go back and ask someone to take a list for you, rest assured...... People are all caught by your Fanggu Mansion. ā
Xu Zhengsheng hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Ye An, thank you Ye An." ā
An Zheng thought for a while and asked, "By the way, I have won a few Gao family's fields, and I need to apply for a few licenses......
Xu Zhengsheng hurriedly said: "It's a trivial matter, I'll send someone to send you all the licenses to the house when I turn around." ā
An Zheng hugged his fists: "Thank you." ā
Xu Zhengsheng hurriedly shook his head: "An Ye, don't be so polite, do we still need to be so polite between us?" By the way, An Ye...... I have something to tell you, I heard that the masters of the military department have been released, and the officials have been reinstated, which is gratifying. ā
An Zheng didn't know about this matter, but his heart was relieved: "That's really gratifying, go back and invite Lord Xu to drink together." ā
Xu Zhengsheng said: "That's good, that's good, An Ye is still busy with so many things, so the lower official won't bother, and the lower official will leave." ā
An Zheng sent people out, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.
What is the Queen Mother planning to do? According to reason, the Queen Mother would not admit defeat so easily. Once the people from the military department are released, it will not be easy for the Queen Mother to find a reason to get rid of them. If she is not completely sure, the Queen Mother will definitely not have no reaction at all.
Just thinking about it, Wang Kaitai strode in from the outside with someone, and when he saw An Zheng, Wang Kaitai couldn't hide his joy.
An Zheng greeted Wang Kaitai into the house, and after the two of them sat down, An Zheng asked, "The affairs of the military department have been resolved?"
Wang Kaitai nodded: "Lord Chen, they have been sent back to the military department and are being treated, everyone's injuries are very serious, and they will not recover for a while." But fortunately, it is not too difficult for the military department to operate, and Fang Daozhi and I can do more. I'm here to thank you, without you, Lord Chen, they wouldn't have come out so soon. ā
An Zheng shook his head: "I always feel that things are not that simple. ā
Wang Kaitai said: "I also think something is wrong, but now it is a good result for us." I'm here to tell you that the Martial Academy is almost recovered, but the personnel are withering, and those who left have no face to come back. I went to the Martial Arts Academy just now, and in such a big place, there are not even ten people in total...... Alas, Xu Chao, as well as the dean of the Martial Academy, are dead. ā
An Zheng's heart sank: "I used to think that Dean Yan was from the Queen Mother's side. ā
Wang Kaitai said: "He and Dean Sang are one in the dark and the other in the light, and the result is ...... Alas!"
An Zheng thought of Xu Chao, thought of Yan Xu, and thought of those martial arts academy teachers and officials of the military department, and his mood became extremely heavy. How many people died in the struggle for power?
