Chapter 111: The Heart of a Loyal King, or a Rebel and a Thief
Lin Cang hurriedly helped the old man up, and said softly: "Old man, you..."
He wanted to comfort the old man, but he didn't know what to say.
Now, with him alone, even if he can save the people on the stage from the cage.
But then what's next.
His whereabouts were exposed, attracting the pursuit of soldiers.
There were at least 100,000 guards in the city, and he only brought 15,000 elite soldiers, so he obviously couldn't be tough and tough.
The lives of the people are their lives, and the lives of the soldiers are also their lives.
There is really no need to make unnecessary sacrifices unless absolutely necessary.
Offstage.
The gentleman named Kang Shuai shouted loudly: "Young Master Ben is out of twenty taels." ”
This Kang Shuai has a very bad reputation in the city, but compared to the life-and-death struggle with the big worm, it is indeed the best choice.
Seeing that someone was willing to buy his granddaughter, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old face full of tears showed a faint smile, "It's good to be alive, and there is hope to be alive." ”
But some people are happy and some are sad.
Some people are bought, and there are those who are not patronized.
Babies and old men will only add trouble in this troubled world, and naturally no one wants to buy them.
Stage.
The young man didn't even bother to scream for the old man's baby.
Wouldn't it be beautiful to directly exchange the lives of these two for tickets to the Colosseum and some silver?
That's when it happened.
A natural voice came, not big or small, to everyone's ears.
"These two are back to their sons."
When these words landed, everyone looked for the owner of the voice.
The young man on the stage looked around, "Who?" Who's pretending to be a ghost? ”
Then.
A dazzling figure stepped on everyone's shoulders and jumped into the air.
The moment he landed, he swung his sword and slashed towards the cage.
There was a clang.
All the cages present instantly turned into powder.
I saw Emperor Liuguang hugging the baby and carrying the trapped old man on the stage on his back.
"Old man, hold it up."
Leaned over and picked up the one on the ground.
jumped and led everyone towards the beams.
"Catch him! Can't let him run away. The young man shouted hurriedly.
A large number of guards in the audience hurriedly raised their knives and rushed towards the emperor streamer.
"Stop, hand them over."
"Don't run!"
On the beam of the house, Emperor Liuguang looked at everyone and smiled disdainfully, "I can't help myself." ”
Her beautiful eyes crossed the sea of people and landed on Lin Cang.
The dead eunuch was here.
If you don't save yourself when you die, you're really a bad seed.
Lin Cang left a look of disdain, and then jumped up lightly, and disappeared from everyone's sight with strange steps.
After the emperor disappeared, the scene suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.
There are young people on the stage who claim money.
There are ecstatic.
And Lin Cang stood in place with straight eyes.
Looking in the direction where Emperor Streamer left, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "She glared at me again just now?" ”
For the first time!
For the first time, he was directly despised by a woman he didn't know.
Lin Cang felt aggrieved in his heart, and he had a strange feeling.
Sooner or later, I will conquer you, and I will turn this contempt into admiration.
At this time, the three of them ran towards Lin Cang.
A coquettish voice rang out.
"Brother Cang, why did you run so fast just now? We searched for a long time. ”
Dugu Xingzhou's pretty face was dyed crimson, and his forehead was soaked in a trace of fine sweat, and the whole person was like a cooked shrimp, which was particularly attractive.
The rapid breathing made the petite body tremble slightly, and the proud man shook with it.
Lin Cang's attention was only then on Dugu Xingzhou, and before he could answer, he was suddenly driven aside by two teams of soldiers and horses.
"Let it all go, back to the side."
"Be honest, stand still!"
The soldiers were impatient, and their spears drove the people away.
The people in the streets were driven to both sides of the road.
After seeing the people stand, the group of soldiers pointed their spears at the people.
When you are ready.
A minister dressed in court clothes paced back and forth from the middle of the road.
He said loudly: "I remember the appearance of the female thief just now, and I will be rewarded for what I can depict." ”
"One or two taels of silver for each person who can't say it, otherwise no one is allowed to leave."
Moment.
Two tables are set up.
A pen and paper were set, and the painter who arrived sat down, picked up the pen and prepared the portrait.
This minister is none other than the new Hu Thorn Shi.
This person has a fat head and big ears, hanging eyebrows and mouse eyes, and a typical villain appearance.
He sat there leisurely sipping tea, after a cup of tea.
He looked around at the people with cold eyes, and said loudly: "The good people who pay the silver come to the official, and the Diao people who have not contributed anything will play the top ten boards first." ”
Hearing this, the audience was in an uproar.
The young man in sackcloth stepped forward and knelt directly on the ground, and said in a choked voice: "Lord Hu, one or two pieces of silver are enough for my family's expenses for the whole month, and the small ones really can't be taken out." ”
"The villain can be beaten by the board, but the villain's wife is weak and the children are young, so they beg the adults to spare their lives."
After speaking, the man slammed his head to the ground several times.
This attitude is quite sincere.
The onlookers were moved, and there was no shortage of people who spoke for them.
"Master Hu, if you see that he is sincere, just promise him."
"Please, Master Hu."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Hu Tingshi's face became extremely gloomy, and he only felt that he was provoking him.
Immediately roared: "Presumptuous! This official is here, how can you be allowed to open your mouth. ”
"Now that the treasury is empty, this official asked you to pay the silver, which is to help Your Majesty share your worries."
"As the people of Great Xia, they don't want to share their worries for the country, but they are here to confuse the public, and their crimes should be punished!"
"Someone! dragged this Diao Min down and cut him down, and beat his wife and son with fifty boards each to make an example. ”
When these words landed, the grain soldier immediately led the order forward, and walked towards the man, his wife and children.
The man hurried to his wife and children, holding the latter firmly behind him.
shouted angrily: "Dog officer! Let my wife and children go, or I won't let you go. ”
But man is a sword, and I am a fish.
This is destined to be unequal status, and where does the right to negotiate come from.
Looking at the scene in front of them, more and more people stepped forward one after another, blocking the poor family of three.
The soldiers who were originally going to arrest them couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw this scene.
Hu Tingshi hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, this Diao Min angrily scolded the court officials, hurry up and hack him to death." ”
"Whoever dares to disturb official affairs will be put to death!"
His small squinting eyes stared fiercely at the group of people.
It's just a swarm of ants, and if they dare to interfere with their own officials, they all have to die.
Hearing this, the people who stood in front of the three of them were instigated and retreated to the side.
The two soldiers also withdrew the pity in their eyes and raised their knives to look directly at the man.
The man turned around, covered his wife and children's eyes, and said softly: "Be good, my father will not be able to accompany you and your mother in the future." ”
"Daddy, mother, don't."
The child's hoarse cry sounded, and his mother also trembled, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, on this Huangquan Road, we will walk together as a family." ”
Just when the three of them closed their eyes and waited for death.
There was a stab.
The sound of weapons clashing sounded.
The three of them felt a breeze blowing.
Cautiously open your eyes.
I saw a hair tied up high, and a heroic woman stood in front of the three of them.
Block the soldier's broadsword with a wooden stick.
Then, with a sharp force, the woman pushed the two soldiers to the ground.
The soldier stood up and tried to resist, but the woman pulled out a sharp blade and put it against the necks of the two of them.
This woman is really Qiuya.
The family of three just now hurriedly knelt on the ground and choked up: "Thank you for saving the woman!" ”
Qiu Ya was still expressionless, and she didn't even give this family of three a look.
He just said coldly to the two soldiers, "Be honest, I don't want to kill anyone." ”
"Bold!"
Hu Tingshi looked at the scene in front of him and was about to roar wildly.
But the icy touch came from behind.
Dugu Xingzhou held a short sword in his hand and pressed it against Hu Tingshi's neck.
Zhu lips lightly opened, and threatened: "Be honest, otherwise I will kill you." ”
Hu Tingshi's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said in a trembling voice; "The heroine spares her life, as long as she puts the small one, she can give you whatever small one you want."
"Shut up!"
Dugu Xingzhou exerted a little force, and a little blood gushed out from Hu Tingshi's neck.
Hu Tingshi was so frightened that he trembled and didn't dare to say a word more.
The soldiers who had suppressed the people also became hesitant, and they were all flesh and blood.
Since Hu Thorn took office, he has done evil and made the people's livelihood miserable.
But as soldiers of Great Xia, even if they were dissatisfied, they were forced to obey Hu Thorn Shi.
Therefore, what the two women are doing now also makes them feel happy.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the people who had been suppressed for a long time couldn't help but applaud.
"Well done!"
"Kill this dog official and eliminate harm for the people."
That's when it happened.
Lin Cang took Nangong Jingrong and walked towards the middle of the street.
Dugu Xingzhou smiled: "Brother Cang, I'm sorry, my sister really can't help it." ”
Lin Cang said lightly: "It's the right time to make a move." ”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly became serious, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, I am Lin Cang, the official of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and the person next to me is Nangong Jingrong, the fifth prince of Great Xia. ”
These words were like a muffled thunder, and the thunder made everyone unable to say a word for a long time.
That's when it happened.
There was a rumor in the crowd about the man's muffled scolding.
"Whew! You are the eunuch who took refuge in the Great Northern Wilderness? What kind of face do you have to set foot on the land of Great Xia? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present instantly opened the conversation.
"This dog official is not a thing, and your Lin Cang is not a good thing."
"Lin Dog get out of Great Xia, we don't want to puppet the emperor, don't surrender to the Great Northern Wilderness."
"Get out! You are not welcome here. ”
Many emotional people threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Lin Cang.
After only a moment's effort, Lin Cang became extremely embarrassed.
But Lin Cang stood there expressionless from beginning to end, never dodging half a step.
looks so calm, he really doesn't look like a traitorous villain.
The purple-clothed girl in the inn couldn't bear it, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, I am a person from the four cities in the south, if it weren't for Lord Lin, we would have starved to death." ”
With her as the beginning, more and more began to speak for Lin Cang.
"Of the hundreds of officials in the court, only Lord Lin is willing to save us from the dire situation, I don't believe he is a traitor."
"Lord Lin is a master of high merit and a totalitarian minister, and there is really no reason for treason."
"I would also like to believe in Lord Lin."
Hearing these remarks, Lin Cang bowed to the people.
Then, standing tall between heaven and earth, he said slowly: "Lin has a heart to serve the country, and he is not afraid of life and death to serve the country." ”
"I was ordered to send the Great Northern Wilderness to talk about peace, but I had no choice but to fall into the prince's trap and trap me to death."
"Fortunately, the Empress of the Great Northern Wilderness favored her to live in the world, and when she heard that the situation in the Great Xia Dynasty was turbulent, the people were not happy, so she didn't dare to delay, so she went to Great Xia overnight just to return the peaceful and prosperous world of Great Xia."
"Lin's loyal heart can be learned from heaven and earth, and he has never been ashamed."
Lin Cang stood there full of wind and bones, exuding a strong righteous aura all over his body.
The words are earnest and convincing.
The group of soldiers also lowered their weapons one after another.
At this time, Lin Cang continued: "Your Majesty is still alive. ”
"The crown prince ascended the throne, but he was actually seeking power and usurping the throne, and he was all a Great Xia general, so he should go to the capital with his own officials and cut off the head of the rebellious minister and thief."
These words were like a grenade, and the whole audience was numb.
Is Your Majesty still alive?
If it is true, the crown prince's crime of seeking power and usurping the throne will be confirmed.
If His Majesty is still alive, then Great Xia will also return to peace.
Everyone present was overjoyed and encouraged by the news.
There was only one person, and his face was extremely ugly.
Regardless of life and death, he roared: "Nonsense, Your Majesty has already passed away, you must not listen to his evil words to confuse the public." ”
