"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The cannon shook the earth twice, and the warship could no longer support it, and in an instant it was torn apart and shattered, and several large wooden planks were directly blown out, and several bloody corpses sank to the bottom of the sea. Those who were lucky enough to survive plunged into the water and swam desperately to the shore.

The soldiers on the shore heard the sound of the cannons, hurriedly turned back, and opened their eyes to see that under the billowing smoke, the sea water was already red with blood. They were so frightened that they turned to rage, shouted in unison, grabbed their weapons, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.

The clash turned into a fiery battle, and the two sides had no time to line up, so they clenched their swords and guns, and cut down every man, and the commander himself charged forward, and started a melee at the foot of the mountain. However, the soldiers did not expect a battle to take place here, many of them did not even put on armor, and only carried a dagger with them, unable to resist the attack, so they had to fight and retreat, and gradually retreated to the sea, where they were picked down by the officers and soldiers one by one, and the whole army was annihilated.

"Gentlemen!" Just now, the Han man came out of the bushes, staggered a few steps, fell to the ground and cried, "What kind of evil are you doing? Why didn't you even ask a word, and opened fire without authorization, ruining the big things of the two countries! ”

The officer naturally understood the reason, and was so afraid that he would find out, and he was too frightened to speak. The soldiers on the side were puzzled, wiped the blood on their cheeks, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! It's a group of pirates who pretend to be messengers and want to take my island, and you, as a citizen of the Celestial Empire, even help them hide it! ”

"Don't believe me? Look at it, holy and holy decrees......" The man immediately took out an edict from his bosom, and the yellow silk was stained with a little dust, "What a bunch of fools, stupid! After that, he still cried and cried.

When the sergeants saw the decree, they were all stunned, and they stood upright like stakes, looking straight at the commander.

"This is really, really ......" The officer impatiently tried to meet their eyes, but he didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand: "Forget it!" It has already happened, and there is no way to undo it. You wait and help the messenger to rest in the stockade, and I will go and report to Lord Hong that a military ship has been attacked by mistake, don't worry. ”

"These brutes! What are they doing! Governor Song watched the scene happening in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to burst out.

Hong Lishen, who was on the side, also looked at the sea blankly, looked at the wreckage of the warship, and the remaining two ships that were gradually moving away, and instantly felt the earth shake the sky, and his whole body floated, as if in a dream.

"Hong Shaobao! Hong Shaobao! ”

Governor Song turned around abruptly and saw that Hong Lishen had fainted and was being supported by two soldiers. He hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Hong Lishen shook his head and came to his senses, "My anger will be smoothed." I just don't know what happened at sea? You should go to the island to investigate quickly, or you and I will have the face to return to the prime minister......"

"Yes, yes!" Governor Song wiped his forehead, which was soaked in rain and sweat, with his sleeve, and turned back to the shore, ready to take a boat to Dongshan Island.

He had barely stepped on the board of the boat on tiptoe when he saw a small boat with a lantern hanging in the distance, and an officer carried by a few soldiers, hurrying towards it.

Governor Song breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to take them ashore.

"Lord Governor, Lord Minister!" The sailor tightly pulled the officer's shoulders and said, "This person is the one who provoked the war, please deal with it with the second duke!" ”

Hong Lishen stood up all of a sudden, he looked at the officer angrily, and his teeth were about to be crushed: "You don't listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, you deliberately cause trouble for the country, what other words do you have!" ”

The officer raised his head and said: "Hong participates in politics, the villain sees that they are acting strangely, and they don't take out the holy decree, so they are regarded as thieves." Besides, I did not give the order to do it, but it was because of the accidental attack of the officers and men of the fort. Of course, they can't be blamed for this, it was completely a miscommunication between the two sides, which led to a miscalculation. ”

"Have you said enough?" Hong Lishen's tone suddenly calmed down, but it revealed a chilling murderous aura.

The "villain ......" officer couldn't hide the trembling of his breath, pressed his cold hands to the ground, and put his head against the slippery stone slab, "What the villain said is true, and he has never concealed it......"

"I know you have nothing to hide," Hong Lishen's feet paced in front of his eyes, "but you don't think that it is a small thing to destroy the new policy of Feng Xiang, right?" Let me tell you, this matter is not only about Nanyang, but also about the button, the official, and the overall situation of the court! What can you do if you kill a little person? ”

The officer's cold sweat could not be shed, his empty pupils were open, and his spirit was immersed in the dry and strong sound of his heart.

"Niu Xiang, this person is more straightforward than Yan Wen, I'm afraid you can't escape the death penalty," Hong Lishen said while looking at the sky and thinking, "But it's better to turn big things into small things and small things." If you are willing to take all the responsibility of the soldiers on yourself, then even if it is your last contribution to this dynasty. ”

The officer endured the beating of the raindrops drop by drop, slowly straightened his waist, and nodded heavily: "I'm a dead end anyway, admit it." Their days are very hard, and I ask you two not to pursue them, and don't embarrass them again......"

"Good. Then when you arrive at the Zhangzhou prison, you must confess that it was you who forcibly ordered the troops to open artillery and sink the ship. ”

The officer let out a long sigh: "The villain understands everything. But if I do this, what punishment should I take? His gaze was uneasy.

Hong Lishen was speechless, and his footsteps paused for a moment. He hurriedly turned his body back and instructed the soldiers: "You prepare the rope first, tie up this person, and escort him back to Zhangzhou Mansion!" As for the affairs of Nanyang, there is no need for you to be worried, just take strict precautions these days! ”

After resolving Fang Cai's embarrassment, he turned around and smiled lightly at the officer: "It's okay, it's just a beheading, and it will go down with a knife, happy." Also, your wife and children, old and young, will be saved from their sins. ”

"Xie Shaobao Hongen!" The officer shed tears of gratitude, bowed, and was dragged away by the soldiers.

"How can he be sentenced for his crimes?" Governor Song saw that everyone was gone, and went around to Niu Yuan.

"Although he accidentally attacked the warship, he ruined the affairs of the court, turned friends into enemies, caused great chaos for the country, opened a war in the world, and committed great crimes such as treason and rebellion. What kind of punishment is still for me? Hong Lishen glanced at the cold afterglow, "You will report to the Criminal Department, please put this person to death." ”
