Chapter 54: The Beginning of the Killing

When Pei Lun was investigating the situation in the past few days, he had already found out who Wang Cong was.

The corpse is vegetarian, receives bribes, and is extremely greedy.

Like the soldiers in the Beijing camp, because they don't have to pay wages, there are often officials seconded to repair the mansion.

But for the sake of their own face, some officials will take care of the food for the soldiers.

And Wang Cong not only let the soldiers bring their own food, but also was very harsh on the soldiers.

These soldiers of the Beijing camp, in Wang Cong's mansion, not only had to bring their own food, but they were often busy from morning to night, with almost no time to rest, and all the soldiers were full of complaints about this person.

People like this, don't say that they are eunuchs, even if they are anti-thieves, Pei Lun will not let him go today.

"Want to threaten the officer? Do you think this official is scared? ”

Wang Cong's tone was extremely tough at this time, he flicked his sleeves heavily, and said: "Today, the official wants to see, which of you dares to kill people in the official's mansion!" ”

"Look for death!"

Ding Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time and was a little impatient, directly pulled out his knife and slashed it.

Ding Xiu, who has been practicing martial arts all the year round and had been in the army in the early years, is not at all comparable to these family members who take care of the home, he cut down a family member who stopped in front of him with one knife, and the second knife directly stabbed Wang Cong's heart.

Ding Xiu's movements were so fast that Wang Cong didn't even react, he looked at the Miao knife that stabbed into his heart, and glanced at Ding Xiu in disbelief, "You...... How dare you do it? ”

was as stunned as Wang Cong, as well as Pei Lun, who was standing behind, and it took him a while before he reacted, and immediately scolded angrily.

"Damn, what are you chopping for?"

Pei Lun hurriedly rushed over, and after checking it, he found that Ding Xiu's knife was extremely accurate, and it directly pierced Wang Cong's heart, without a trace of deviation, and even this injury, Da Luo Immortal could not save it.

"He is a member of the sixth rank of the imperial court, why did you kill him?"

Pei Lun is almost crazy, they Jinyiwei have the power to arrest officials, and they can even bypass the third division and interrogate directly in the edict.

But this does not mean that they can kill officials at will when they are arrested, and even Wei Zhongxian did not dare to be so unscrupulous when he was in power.

Ding Xiu now solves a six-rank official with one sword, and he looks happy, but tomorrow those civil officials will not kill him!

"What are you afraid of?"

Ding Xiu put the knife into the sheath without care, and said: "Didn't Gonggong Cao say that you don't have to care about the consequences of this action, if someone stops you, you can kill them." ”

"Now that he resists arrest, I killed him, which is reasonable, what is there to worry about."

"You're a fucking awesome mallet!!"

Pei Lun grabbed Ding Xiu's shirt angrily, not knowing what to say to him, "Can't you do it later?" Even if he is allowed to die in prison, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Cao Huachun is not afraid of making things bigger, that's because he has the emperor behind him to support him, but what do these two small general flags have, and the emperor will care about their life or death?

When those civil officials are excited tomorrow, will the emperor come forward to resist the hundred officials and protect them?

No kidding, when did Chongzhen ever have that kind of courage.

And if the emperor gave up on them, Ding Xiu would definitely die, and even Wang Guoxing, who would promote them, might not even be able to do so.

"Okay, kill all the kills, and he won't survive if you shout again."

Ding Xiu's killing of Wang Cong was not a whim, but the result of thinking for a long time.

He was born in the Guanning border army, and fought bloody battles with those Tartars outside the pass, witnessing too many lives and deaths.

However, after returning to the capital from Guanwai, he found that the capital was full of flies and dogs, and those high-ranking lords were either looting money or fighting for power and profit, and no one took the soldiers who fought bloodily outside Guanning to heart.

It was as if the soldiers who died in the battle outside the customs were like insignificant numbers.

This kind of thing made Ding Xiu feel depressed in his heart, and made him feel worthless for those robes who died in battle back then.

Therefore, when he realized that the emperor had the intention of reforming, he directly made up his mind to make a big deal about it.

If the emperor can withstand the pressure and have the courage to come forward to protect himself, then the Ming Dynasty still has a chance of life.

On the contrary, if the emperor does not dare to make a move and sits back and watches himself die, then the Ming Dynasty will be completely hopeless, and he will not have the courage to reform and want to reform, which is simply self-defeating.

If that's the case, then if you die, you will be martyred for the Ming Dynasty, anyway, you have killed these high-ranking officials, and you won't lose yourself by having them to accompany the funeral.

"Can't you let Lao Tzu put snacks when you do things!!

Pei Lun looked at Ding Xiu's unstingy appearance, and felt a little angry in his heart, but he didn't withdraw from the matter and put aside the meaning of his relationship with Ding Xiu.

He turned his head to look at the Jinyi Guards under his command, and said coldly: "Wang Cong, a member of the staff, resisted arrest with his family and attacked the Jinyi Guard. ”

"All the participants, kill them all, and don't let any of them go."

Hearing Pei Lun's words, all the Jinyi guards standing behind immediately took off the crossbows on their bodies.

Wang Cong's family, when they heard Pei Lun's order, just wanted to turn around and flee, but the whizzing crossbow arrows shot directly over.

Ding Xiu and Pei Lun's Jinyi guards are all elites carefully selected by Wang Guoxing.

At a distance of more than a dozen paces, their crossbows could be said to be pointing wherever they were hit, but it was just a rain of arrows, and all the family members fell in a pool of blood.

After this round of arrow rain, the front row of brocade guards holding embroidered spring knives began to check the corpses one by one, and if they were dead or pretending to be dead, they would mercilessly make up for them.

Seeing that Pei Lun actually made such a choice, Ding Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You don't have to be like this." ”

"Less nonsense, at most, it's just to leave your head in Jinyiwei."

Pei Lun glared at Ding Xiu, suppressed his anger and said, "Next time you do this kind of thing, you will say hello to Lao Tzu in advance!" ”

"If you surprise Lao Tzu like this again, Lao Tzu will have to kill you."

“……”

Looking at Pei Lun, who was a little angry, Ding Xiu's expression was a little helpless, since Pei Lun chose so, then even if they were tied together, whether they were dead or alive, they would all end up together.

So he had to nod and said, "Okay, I know, I'll let you know in advance next time." ”

"Now, don't you call for support first and copy Wang Cong's mansion?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Lao Tzu will arrange it."

Pei Lun was still angry at this time, he looked at Ding Xiu, and said with resentment in his heart: "Now, please show Uncle Ding, should the little one follow you to check the next official as planned, or go and report this matter to Gonggong Cao first?" ”

Pei Lun has obviously guessed what Ding Xiu wants to do now, what he really wants to ask in this sentence is whether Ding Xiu will kill Wang Cong or just kill him.

If he killed Wang Cong, then he hurried to find Cao Huachun to see if Cao Huachun could help them cover up a little.

And if you want to continue killing, then you don't need to report to Cao Huachun, go directly to the mansion of the next official on the list, and continue to kill.

Ding Xiu heard Pei Lun's words, and said lightly: "Since we have done it, how can there be any reason to give up halfway, let's continue to act according to the plan, as for Gonggong Cao, it is not too late to report when we are done." ”

"Understood."

Pei Lun nodded, and then sighed deeply, "Lao Tzu's little life can be regarded as planted in your kid's hands." ”
