Chapter 162: Respect to the Heavens!
"The general is really very human. ”
The four old men in their old age mean that all four of them are the heads of the Jinlu City family.
And there are only four great masters of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, presumably one from one of the four families.
Zhao Que sneered and approached the four old men with prominent backgrounds.
"If Zhao wasn't like this, he would have been killed by the great masters of the Hanshan Dynasty on the Xisai Territory as early as possible, how could he come to Jinlu City to find trouble waiting for you?!"
An old man who was calm and calm said quietly: "If the general dies in the Xisai territory, he will definitely leave his name in history, and all the people of the future generations will remember the general's might, but the general will live to Jinlu City......"
"Huh, how?"
Zhao Que looked at him sarcastically.
The old man paused and continued: "Please don't forget, who compiled the annals, and if you kill so many people, the general's reputation in the future will not be very good." ”
"Threaten General Ben with the aftermath?" Zhao Que said disdainfully.
Another head of the family said seriously: "It's not that you threaten the general with what happened after your death, but if the general wants to make a mistake to the end, this is not just a threat." ”
"Yes!
Zhao Que couldn't help laughing.
Xue Jian was sweating in his head, and he didn't dare to say anything in the face of the four high-spirited family heads.
The depth of the water in Nanyang lies in this.
"I admire the general, covered in blood, murderous like a living thing, we have a will to die, the general still doesn't care, smiling heartily!"
"The general crisscrosses the Xisai frontier and repel the enemy army in the cold mountains for Great Xia, this is a matter of common respect for all the people in the world, however, there is not only killing in heaven and earth, but also etiquette, there are human feelings, family laws, and everyone's desires, the general wants to break all of these into pieces with his own strength, I'm afraid, the result will disappoint the general!"
"The martyrs of my Ding family for the battle of the founding of the Great Xia country, go forward and succeed, die and be brave, the money and grain accumulated by the Ding family all year round, for a hundred years, every year have been drawn out of thirty percent and handed over to the treasury, the Ding family has opened a branch from Jinlu City, and this duty has made money, without hindering anyone, let alone harming the people, if the general is determined to measure the Jinlu City family with the horse's hooves, the children and grandchildren of the Ding family, there is no guilt, no half of the idea of stealing life!"
Everyone says it is high-sounding.
It was as if they were the exemplars of the Golden Dew City's etiquette.
Zhao Que gradually suppressed his laughter and looked at an old man wearing a Confucian crown: "The old gentleman has mixed up the title of a gentleman in the Confucian Academy, isn't he?"
"The king's sacrificial wine in the school palace can afford to be below, and the gentleman of the school palace is named below. ”
The title of gentleman is not an official position of the Confucian Academy, but an honor.
Being able to become a gentleman in the Confucian Palace shows that he has a deep study of Confucianism and high morals.
Zhao Que bowed: "Since the old gentleman is a gentleman of the Xue Palace, why don't you comment on it, why are there so many victims outside Jinlu City?"
The head of the family snorted coldly: "The general will say something if he has something to say, why bother to tease him?"
"The old gentleman, as the head of the Ji family's branch in Jinlu City, just said that although the general is covered in blood, murderous like a living creature, in the face of your will to die, he still smiles heartily, but the old gentleman is wrong, the general did not smile heartily, but smiled bitterly, under the cold winter and the moon, the brocade clothes worn by the bitter smile, the victims outside were not clothed, and the bitter smile was full of fat intestines, but the victims outside made a meat grinding thing, grinding the same kind, which was tantamount to a beast. ”
Zhao Que said word by word.
After listening to Zhao Que's words, the head of the Ji family's face remained unchanged, his mind was calm, and then he retorted: "They lack education. ”
"Haha...... Well, they are inherently uneducated. Zhao Que pulled out a loud voice and asked, "Under the sword of this general, are you also lacking in education?"
The head of the Ji family in Jinlu City took the initiative to move a few steps, and put his chest against Zhao Que's big voice: "If the general kills, he will kill, if he kills one Ji Cunyi, there will be thousands of Ji Cunyi who will stand up and cry out for me, could it be that the general can kill thousands of people again?"
Zhao Que turned his head and asked Xue Jian: "Mr. Ji, threaten Zhao with the reputation of the Ji family and the gentleman of the Xue Palace, Xue Tingshi, please say, should you kill or not?!"
Xue Jian sweated like rain, gritted his teeth: "General Hui, you are the head of the hundred generals of Great Xia, the name of the auxiliary country, throughout the annals of history, no one can inherit this name, Ji Cunyi ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to threaten the general of the auxiliary country, should be killed! Ji Cunyi is also a gentleman of the palace, and he is not sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and he actually said that the people should starve to death and freeze to death if they lack education!
Xue Jian's words went straight to Ji Cunyi's point.
poke Ji Cunyi's backbone, cold can't work.
Zhao Que looked at the head of the Ji family and said with contempt: "It turns out that this is the gentleman of the Xue Palace? Wang Riyue Sacrificial Wine and General Ben have a relationship, didn't he allow you a gentleman's name? Well, afterwards, General Ben told Wang Sacrificial Wine one by one about the pickled things you did in Jinlu City, and see if he deprives you of your gentleman's name!"
Ji Cunyi panicked at this time: "Dare to ask the general, what kind of angry crime has he committed, and the general has to let his reputation be ruined?"
Zhao Que contempted: "It is true that the Ji family has never done business with the Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple, but if you want to talk about who occupies the most land of the people, your Ji family can be among the best.
In addition, the business of Jinlu City is prosperous, and the Ji family has used a lot of negative means, so that other people's shops can't be opened, no matter how cheap you are, empty gloves and white wolves, there are nearly 100 more shops for no reason.
And those people who were robbed of their shops by you have plummeted their lives, and they can't survive and die. ”
Ji Cunyi took a breath, "General, the Ji family does not admit the matter of enclosing the people's land, we can count out the title deed and give it to the general to see, it was those people who sincerely sold it to us,
As for the shops in Jinlu City, what the general said was even more nonsense.
The Ji family smashed out a lot of silver taels and collected them from the merchants, those merchants got money and lived well, how could there be such a thing as the general said that life is better than death?"
Zhao Que sighed: "Forcibly occupy the shop, you can't come to the circle, you want a witness, this general will immediately bring you one or twenty people, first talk about the occupation of the land,
Your Ji family's farm, but all over the farmland around Jinlu City, you cleverly coaxed the people, so that the people have no permanent property, and they all rely on farming for the Ji family to make a living, which is indeed the truth.
Since the rare snowstorm, the people have lived miserably, the prime of life has left their homes, the old and weak, women and children have become victims outside the city, there are parents and wives who have hanged themselves together, and there are countless people who first cast their children in the river and then surrender themselves.
Not to mention, there are countless people who spend hundreds of dollars, sell children, scrape tree bark and pick grass roots and eat them.
As for those who die on the side of the road, and let the vultures and jackals use as food, they don't know how to go.
General Ben is not blind, Ji Cunyi, do you think you can deceive me?!"
Zhao Que squinted coldly: "If you want to make people not know what to do unless you are yourself, you who are full of sage books, haven't you even heard such sayings?"
Ji Cunyi's face darkened, and the three old men next to him obviously changed their expressions.
The general's words pointed straight to the death hole.
Everyone is in Jinlu City, facing the huge Nanyang Prefecture to collect money, who has done something, and the other families must be clear in their hearts.
It's like the Ji family, Ji Cunyi said one thing after another, and he didn't guard against the Ji family's crazy collection of family property in Nanyangzhou.
What's more, Ji Cunyi is still the identity of a gentleman in the palace, and when he does these things, he has an upright identity.
The name of the gentleman of the school palace is extremely difficult to obtain, and it takes four sacrificial wines, two big sacrificial wines, more than half, to nod and agree to have the reputation of this gentleman.
Zhao Que sneered and asked, "Ji Cunyi, what else do you have to say?"
The lark had long known that there was the Ji family who dared to rebel against him, and the owner of the shop that was hurriedly preparing to take the Ji family by trick and robbery invited sixteen people.
"General, they've arrived. ”
Tong Yu wore armor, trotted to Zhao Que's side, and said softly.
He turned to look.
Sixteen people glared at Ji Cunyi viciously, eager to cramp and pull out his bones.
Zhao Que looked at Ji Cunyi, who was suddenly shocked, and asked, "Old man, I respect your knowledge of Confucianism, but I don't know if you still have the will to die right now?"
He walked up to the sixteen people and took a deep breath: "You don't need to hide how the Ji family robbed your shop, just say it in the slightest, no one was the master for you in the past, to help you wash away the anger in your heart, today is different from the past, this general will wash you away!"
It doesn't matter how angry you are, let it all out, right now, I see who dares to stuff your anger back!"
All sixteen of them fell to their knees in an instant.
The shout towards Zhao Que shook the sky.
"Thank you, General! The General is simply our Blue Sky Lord!"
"General!!You killed the enemy for the country on the front line, and when you arrived in Nanyangzhou, you made great merit for the people!!"
"General, you are here! The little one can finally let go of the anger that has been held back for several years, and let it go!"
Zhao Que waved his hand: "There is no need to say anything to compliment General Ben, doing these things for you is just General Ben's internal business, and it is justified, no one can say that General Ben has done wrong, only that General Ben should not do it!"
However, since General Ben has done it, he naturally will not take these princes in his eyes!
Just leave them barking. ”
Mo said that Ji Cunyi was with the other three family masters.
The children and grandchildren of these great families were all trembling.
The general of the auxiliary country could not have made it clearer.
Even if you kill them all, the general can do it!
A family head was silent for a while, and his tone trembled, "General, are you too domineering?"
"Is it domineering? Zhao didn't realize it, don't interrupt, let these sixteen people finish talking about the evil deeds of the Ji family. ”
Zhao Que looked at the head of the family with disdain.
After thinking about it, the head of the Ding family actually walked within a zhang of Zhao Que and bowed his hand: "May I ask the general, how can my Ding family do it, and the general can let the Ding family go?"
Zhao Que said as a matter of course: "Leave all the money and food of the Ding family in Jinlu City, and you will roll up and cover it, and go back to the Ding family's master's house!"
Compared with the Ji family and the other two families, the Ding family is slightly inferior.
The head of the Ding family nodded: "The general sent troops to my Ding family to receive money and food." ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at the head of the Ding family in horror.
"Lao Ding, what's the matter with you?" Ji Cunyi asked dumbfounded.
The head of the Ding family sighed heavily: "Old Ji, the general is the one who leads the troops to fight, can't you see it? Now, the general is firmly occupying the time, place, and people, and our confrontation with the general is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”
"You forgot that we are just splitting up, and the main family will support us!" Ji Cunyi said again.
"Lao Ji, you forgot again, the general is now with a golden seal and purple ribbon, the head of the hundred generals of Great Xia, and the Great Xia is not very peaceful, in the future, the court will be useful to the general, like King Yu, he will be named a king with a different surname above 10,000 people under one person, it is only a matter of time!
You and I are not gate valves, how can we fight against a king with a different surname and real power?"
The head of the Ding family, located in Jinlu City, thought long-term, thought carefully about what Zhao Que might do in the future, and directly chose to give up.
Didn't the general ask for money and food?
Give it all!
Stay in the green mountains, why don't you have no firewood?
Ji Cunyi was silent.
"Why did the Ding family stand up and join the Ji family?" Zhao Que asked.
The head of the Ding family smiled back: "It's just trying." ”
Xue Jian ordered a hundred soldiers instead of Zhao Que, and behind the discouraged group of the Ding family, a copper feather mixed in with the soldiers and followed.
Xue Tingshi noticed it, his body was stunned, and he didn't say anything, as if he didn't see it.
Next, the sixteen people told them in detail how the Ji family set a trap and robbed their shop.
Mo said that the Ji family was frightened when they heard it, and the children of the remaining two families also looked at the Ji family with uncertain eyes.
obviously thinks that what the Ji family has done is too much.
"Dare to ask the general, leave all the money and food in Jinlu City, and the rest of the people return to the master's house, won't the general embarrass us?"
The head of the family, who was standing beside Ji Cunyi, suddenly asked.
Zhao Que glanced at him and took out the paper that Zhao Sui wrote to him, "Your family, you can." ”
"Could it be that the general will not let people go, and we need to look at the crimes of the past?" shouted a child of the family with great courage.
Zhao Que didn't look at him: "On the way here, Zhao Mou was on the way here, and there were four masters who wanted to attack and kill Zhao, and Zhao Mou would not investigate who sent them, because, compared to the lives of countless victims outside the city, Zhao's life is insignificant." ”
He did not answer the words of the child of the family directly, but did answer from the side.
Xue Jian, who hadn't gone far, heard the general's words, and his eyes became more and more determined.
"Okay! It's decided, please send soldiers to our house to receive money and food!"
Tong Yu, who was beside Zhao Que, ordered a hundred and ten soldiers and followed them away.
Only Ji Cunyi and the head of the family with a gloomy face remained.
And this head of the family is the one who asked Zhao Que just now if he was too domineering.
Zhao Que didn't wait for this person to speak, and took the initiative to say: "Your family can't do it." ”
"Why?" the man asked grimly.
Zhao Que smiled: "Don't you know what you do? Your historian has done not much less evil than the Ji family." ”
"Okay, my old Shi has lived for most of his life, and for the first time he has met a big man like the general, he dares to take my Shi family! The general has to think about it!"
Zhao Que nodded: "The Shi family has produced two first assistants in the past hundred years, and it does have the taste of a gate valve family, but in Zhao's eyes, it is still too tender." ”
The head of the Shi family is called Shi Yun.
The historian marked the paper written by Zhao Sui in red.
Although it is ranked low, Zhao Que can see it clearly.
"The general is the head of a hundred generals, so he can naturally look down on the historian. Shi Yun sneered.
Zhao Que hummed: "It's late, Huangquan Road is wide open, Master Shi, go on the road early and go to be a guest in that place." ”
The words fell.
No more nonsense.
stepped forward to Shi Yun's approach, pulled out a loud voice, and slashed it with a knife.
almost split Shi Yunli.
Unable to make trouble from the historians, a soldier immediately rushed up and took them into custody.
Zhao Que looked at the children of the Shi family and said, "If you think that General Ben is afraid of the Shi family who has produced two auxiliary songs, you are very wrong. ”
"Hmph, a stupid general!"
I don't know who it is, I whispered.
Zhao Que replied: "If it weren't for me, a stupid general who was reckless and reckless, Xisse would have been pierced by the Hanshan Dynasty, where would you be waiting for the glory and wealth?"
"Even if Cisse is gone, my historian is still high, and mortals can't reach it!"
"Fool, Xisai is gone, the enemy army in the cold mountains is condescending, rushing into the Central Plains, you family sons, you must also experience the pain of the victims outside the city!"
Take a break.
"Mortal?" Zhao Que asked in surprise, "It turns out that the Shi family is not a human being! I want to see with my own eyes whether your Shi family is a human after all!"
Leaving Ji Cunyi in place, he sighed.
Zhao Que easily found the young man who was confronted by the Shi family and slashed it down.
The blood is rolling.
How can it not be mortal?
"No, it's a person, how can it not be a person? Are you a human?" Zhao Que pretended to wonder.
The rest of the Shi family, some are scared to pee their pants, some are helpless and painful, some are lost and muttering to themselves, and they are in normal sanity, and they replied to Zhao Que, they are human beings.
"It's human. ”
Zhao Que scoffed.
Looking at all the people in the family, how can there be such a firm determination as Fang Cai?!
When you think that you are not afraid of death and feel death, you know that there will be no one who is not afraid of death.
Those who are truly not afraid of death must have a firm faith in their hearts.
Or, like the victims, life is a hundred times more painful than death.
Ji Cunyi finally sighed heavily: "The general killed me." ”
Zhao Que asked people to prepare paper and pen, as if they hadn't heard Ji Cunyi's words, and according to the right approach, in the choice of life and death, he forced the people of the Ji family to write down Ji Cunyi's crimes.
Of course, historians are also indispensable.
Transcription in two copies.
One was sent to the imperial court, and the book was written to the Son of Heaven, explaining the wrongdoings of the head of his family.
One was given to the master's family, informing the real owner of the family, the head of the family did a lot of evil, it was difficult to write, and there was more than enough to die, Zhao Gouchen helped you kill him, it was for you to cut off the scourge.
Do these things.
Zhao Que returned to Ji Cunyi's body and asked, "Kill yourself, or do Zhao?"
"Hey, it's a great blessing to die at the hands of the general. Ji Cunyi regained his composure.
Dressed properly.
"It's a pity that you are a gentleman? How many scholars with the title of gentleman are there in Great Xia?"
"The general wants to say, is it a good reputation?"
Zhao Que laughed: "Reading is crooked, but I understand the truth, it's good." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, beg for death below. Ji Cunyi knew that Zhao Gouchen was letting him experience the horror before waiting for death.
How calm he behaved, at the thought of himself dying.
Ji Cunyi was still in a cold sweat, and his whole body was soaked.
On a cold day, it was blown by the cold wind.
Ji Cunyi became more and more sober, and the more remorseful he became, he knew that this was the case, why did the master let him be the head of this family, why did he agree?
Those clan elders, no wonder they recommended him one by one, the Tao is that they know that sooner or later something will happen when they split up.
It's a group of people who don't read much, and all of them are foxes!
Zhao Que put the big sound to Ji Cunyi's neck.
His eyes were closed.
I was shivering.
"Hate?"
"Hate!"
"Hate whom?"
"Hate the Ji family!"
"That's hating people. ”
Chop it down with a knife.
The corpse was separated.
On Zhao Que's gorgeous armor, there is more blood.
He didn't move.
Wait for Xue Jian to come back.
Xue Jian didn't let him wait too long.
Ride back.
"General, the lower officials are back, they are honest, and there is no other small action!" Xue Jian affirmed.
Zhao Que turned over and got on the horse.
Glancing, the blood stains attached to the armor.
An irrelevant word was mentioned.
"Xue Tingshi, after doing these things, how should the people of Jinlu City view us, and how should the people of Nanyang City view us?"
Xue Jian thought about it and thought: "If you respect the heavens!"
"Well, after leveling the family of Jinlu City, Nanyang Yangzhou is handed over to you, don't let me down. Zhao Que said softly.
"The general has no time to calm down in Nanyangzhou?" Xue Jian asked in surprise.
Zhao Que shook his head: "Hurry up with Zhao, Zhao really doesn't have time." ”
Xue Jian suddenly felt at ease.
After all, the general had said so much to him, and only this one showed the urgency of the general.
"It should be General Wei. Xue Jian whispered.
Zhao Que glanced at him, smiled, and didn't answer.
Pingfeng Zhang's family was as Zhao Que expected.
Before he and Xue Jian came on horseback, he tied a lot of money and grain from Jinlu City on the cart early, waiting for Zhao Que to count them.
Xue Jian looked at Zhao Que in disbelief.
Zhao Que dismounted and clenched his fists: "Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary country!"
A middle-aged man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and on a cold day, he was not afraid of him, he was indeed shivering from the cold, walked not far in front of him, and respectfully returned to him with a fist.
"The head of the family in Jinlu City, Zhang Hanzhi, who is in Xiaping Fengzhang's family, has seen the general of the auxiliary country!"
Zhao Que glanced at the belongings that filled the street and asked, "Are they all here?"
"If you go back to the general, all the money and food of the Zhang family are here, and as for the other properties of the Zhang family, it will take some time to count them, and they will be sent to the generals later. "Zhang Hanzhi has a very deep cultivation, neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhao Que bowed his head: "After returning to Pingfeng, instead of Zhao, say hello to the old master, and Cisse will remember the money and food that the old master sent to Cisse at a critical moment." ”
"The general is polite, there is something wrong with the Pingfeng Zhang family, please bear with the general, you need to kill to eliminate the evil obstacles, the general of Wanwang should not show mercy to his subordinates, afterwards, the Pingfeng Zhang family will not complain about the general, but will be very grateful to the general for the scourge eradicated by the Pingfeng Zhang family!"
Zhang Hanzhi approached Zhao Que, bent over, hung his head, and waited for death.
Zhao Que sighed: "Zhang Hanzhi, right?"
"Exactly under the name. ”
"Zhao wrote it down, and I will lend you a head. ”
"General, please use it!"
The corners of Zhang Hanzhi's mouth smiled, disapproving.
Zhao Que swung his knife and cut off Zhang Hanzhi's head.
Looking at his corpse, Zhao Que muttered to himself: "What a Zhang Hanzhi." ”
