Chapter 451: Extrajudicial Grace
"My lord, it is the villain who teaches the girl no way, who is bewitched by the wicked, and who does great disrespect to the adult, and if the adult wants to punish the crime, he will cure the villain's sin, for the sake of the little girl's youth and ignorance, it will ...... Let's spare the little girl this time!" When he spoke, Zhang asked the old man with tears and couldn't cry.
Hearing that her father was going to convict herself, Zhang Lei also burst into tears, she shook her head again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "Daughter, don't bother your father, everything is your daughter's fault......"
Not wanting to listen to her father and daughter's crying anymore, Chu Lianyu arched his hand to Lin Haotian and said, "My lord, the sinner girl Zhang Lei wants to assassinate the adult, and she should be beheaded and exterminate the nine clans, please give the order!"
Lin Haotian was silent for a while, and suddenly beckoned to Chu Lianyu and asked him to come close and speak. Chu Lianyu was stunned and didn't understand what he was going to do, but he still walked to Lin Haotian's side and sat down on his knees.
Lin Haotian asked in a low voice, "Lian Yu, do you have to kill the Zhang family?"
"Huh?" Chu Lianyu wondered if he had heard it wrong, or if the adult was deliberately joking with himself, and actually asked such a thing. He frowned and said, "Of course, Lord Xing Assassin, of course you will destroy the Nine Clans!"
"But......" Lin Haotian asked, "Didn't you always tell me that you want to be benevolent to the Chiren? Last time I only killed one person, but in the end, I wanted to make trouble and send a substitute head and apologize, and now you want me to kill the entire Zhang family?"
Chu Lianyu said with a straight face: "Shi Renzheng is just a means to facilitate the ruler of the Chi people, and let the adults apologize for their sins, it is just a show, not to mention, that matter cannot be compared with this matter." The crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents is the law. The sin of assassination is also a testimony, no matter when. Jurisprudence cannot be broken. ”
Don't look at Chu Lianyu's usual polite and harmless appearance, but he is too rational, rational to the point of almost losing his humanity. Everything he did was from the Jin Kingdom from Lin Haotian, and he asked Lin Haotian to be benevolent to the Red People, because it was beneficial to the Jin Kingdom and Lin Haotian to do so, and if it was said that killing all the Red People would be more beneficial to the Jin Kingdom and Lin Haotian. He wouldn't hesitate to do so. In his eyes, there was no room for anything other than the state and the monarch.
Such a resoluteness. Even Lin Haotian couldn't do this.
Lin Haotian sighed secretly and said faintly: "Actually, how can Zhang Lei be the only one who wants to kill me?"
"Because of this, adults should make an example of each other!" Chu Lianyu said: "If you have benevolence in your heart today. Let go of Zhang. Tomorrow, everyone will follow suit, and there will be endless assassinations.
Lin Haotian nodded at first, but quickly shook his head again, indicating that he did not agree with Chu Lianyu's statement.
He didn't think so, killing the entire Zhang family today, he would be able to put an end to the Chi people's hatred and assassination of him, since it was ineffective. Why do you want to do it? Instead of making the Red Man hate him more, it is better to make the Red Man grateful to him for once!
"Except to make an example of one. There is no other means?" asked Lin Haotian.
"Yes, my lord!" Chu Lianyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. ”
"But I don't want to. Lin Haotian smiled scoundrelly and said, "You are my chief think tank, I believe that you will definitely have a way to solve this matter, that is, without seeing blood, you can solve it satisfactorily." ”
After speaking, Lin Haotian stood up, stretched his waist, and said to the people below: "Ben Shuai is tired, go rest first!" Before the words fell, he had already walked out.
When he walked past Zhang Lei, he stopped, looked down at her, and said, "As you wish, the person who instructed you ran away." ”
Seeing Zhang Lei's breath of relief, he sneered: "You think you are very smart, very brave, and do things that others dare not do? In fact, you are just a fool, a fool who is willing to be used by others, putting yourself and your whole family in a desperate situation, while the person who uses you is complacent in a safe place and enjoys it!"
With a snort, Lin Haotian didn't stay any longer, walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.
"You are talking nonsense......" When Lin Haotian had already walked out of the hall, Zhang Lei suddenly came back to her senses, stood up Teng, and shouted back. But when she saw the servants and maids kneeling behind her, her heart trembled, yes, with what she did, not only would she die, her father and mother would die, but even none of the servants and maids in the whole house would survive. Thinking of this, her tears flowed down again.
Regarding Zhang Lei's assassination, Lin Haotian pushed the trouble to Chu Lianyu and asked Chu Lianyu to find a way to solve it, but in addition to the law, Chu Lianyu couldn't think of any other way, and in the end Zhang Hui gave him an idea, he could marry Zhang Lei to the ministers or meritorious generals in the court, whether he was a wife or a concubine, in short, it was also reasonable for the lord to be gracious and reward the sinner girl to the courtiers, that is, not to destroy the law, but also to make the courtiers and the people grateful for the grace of the adults.
Although Zhang Hui's idea is a bit ridiculous, there is really no better way, Chu Lianyu thought about it seriously and felt that it was feasible, so he immediately reported it to Lin Haotian and asked Lin Haotian to give him a marriage.
The ministers in the Jin Dynasty are all groups of wives and concubines, and Lin Haotian would not think of them if he wanted to marry, and the ones who really lacked wives and concubines were the generals who fought with him in the south and the north. After he was ready to fight the battle of the Heavenly Horses, he would decide who to reward Zhang Lei with when he was talking about meritorious deeds.
Zhang Lei hates the Jin people, but she wants to marry the Jin people, but compared with the execution of the whole family, this is already great news.
The Zhang family has a sense of rebirth after death, even the people of the town also look at Lin Haotian and Jin Jun differently, although they don't like it yet, but at least they think that Jin Jun is not as brutal and barbaric as rumored.
The battle reports of the Fourth Legion in front of the army were still transmitted back to Lin Haotian from time to time, without any accidents, and the battle reports sent back were basically good reports of victory and annihilation of the enemy, and what made Lin Haotian happiest was that Gu Liangyun led 20,000 soldiers to conquer Peicheng in one fell swoop, and laid a second city for the Jin army in Tianma.
Knowing that Peicheng was broken, Lin Haotian couldn't stay in Guangping Town for a moment, so he immediately set off and rushed in the direction of Peicheng.
What surprised him was that when he left Guangping Town, there were still people from the Red Kingdom who went out to see him off, even if it was only a sporadic less than a hundred people, but it was enough to make Lin Haotian feel deeply gratified.
However, he still had a pimple in his heart, who was the chivalrous man who instructed Zhang Lei? Was he alone, or was there an organization behind him?
After all, Tianma is not the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and it is very difficult for the Jin Army scouts to find out the news of this chivalrous man in Tianma, and it is definitely not something that can be found out in a day or two.
Gu Liangyun led the Jin army to capture Peicheng, and this news greatly encouraged the Jin army from all walks of life, and the only one who felt unhappy and anxious was Guan He.
Although Gu Liangyun was the deputy commander of the Fourth Army Corps and Guan He's top boss, he was powerless but inferior to himself, and even he could take Peicheng lightly, so how could Guan He, who was the main attack on Tongchuan, not be in a hurry? He set a goal for himself, and the capture of Tongchuan must be faster and less than Gu Liangyun's capture of Peicheng.
Under the urging of Guan He, the 20,000 Jin army led by him and Tong Lei did not make any stop in Peicheng, but passed through the city directly, desperately rushing in the direction of Tongchuan. Under the almost frantic rapid march, Guan He and Tonglei arrived in Tongchuan in only two days.
The 20,000 Jin army, in order to march quickly, did not carry any baggage, and the whole army did not have a single large siege weapon, and even the grain and grass they brought were only enough for three days' rations.
After arriving in Tongchuan, Tonglei also planned to let the soldiers of the whole army rest for half a day, but Guan He immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city.
For the Jin army, after just two days and two nights of rapid marching, it was also exhausted up and down, and when attacking the city, its combat strength was sharply reduced, but on the contrary, Tongchuan was also negligent in taking precautions.
They came too fast, and less than a day before the news of the loss of Peicheng reached Tongchuan, the Jin army miraculously slaughtered the city.
The defenders of Tongchuan were shocked, ill-prepared, and rushed to the battle, and when the two sides began to fight, many Red soldiers hurried up the city wall without even putting on their armor and participated in the battle.
The combat effectiveness of the Jin army has weakened, but the combat power and momentum of the defenders are not much stronger, and the two sides are equivalent to the weakening of the army, relatively speaking, such a battle is more beneficial to the attacking side.
The Guanhe battle Jin Ge was fierce, at the beginning of the battle issued a death order, the whole army can only approach, can not retreat, if there are those who cower, the soldiers behind can directly kill them, all on the battlefield to kill the fearful and fleeing from the battle, can be rewarded according to the killing of the enemy.
Such an order is tantamount to telling the officers and men of the Jin army that there is no other way to either advance or be killed. (To be continued......)
