Chapter 21 Comparison of the Townspeople
"You take these treacherous merchants back to the town of Biyang, and I will send a dozen more brothers to help, and when we go back, we will have your own brothers to give you a share." ”
The leader of the Shun army designated Li Tian to lead the team and escorted hundreds of traders to the Yamen, and at the same time scolded the merchants for not paying a tael of silver until they died.
Li Tian was just about to collect intelligence, of course he would not object, and acted with more than a dozen soldiers, escorting more than a hundred crying merchants into the distance.
There was the sound of Shun soldiers smashing other shops behind, and the ringleader's shouting, "It's not easy for you brothers to come out, and now that you've completed your order, it's your brother's chance to make a fortune, so let's grab enough on Tianqiao Street." ”
"Hooray......
The soldiers went crazy like dopes, and the whole street resounded with cries and screams.
Li Tian glanced back at the back, and saw that the soldiers all over the street were smashing and robbing the shops along the street like beasts, in addition to holding all kinds of goods and ornaments, and carrying women.
He couldn't help but snort heavily, even if he was a killer on Earth, he was only targeting specific targets, and he would not kill innocents indiscriminately like this.
And in front of him, these Shun soldiers have become thugs, and there is no longer the appearance of the honest peasant army a few days ago, Li Tian can conclude that if this situation does not change, this power called Dashun will definitely not last long.
A soldier next to him said enviously, "Brother, don't be angry, our Elder Wu is the most fair, although we can't make a fortune on Tianqiao Street, we can get dividends in the end." ”
Another soldier said with a smile, "That is, when did Elder Wu treat the brothers badly, it seems that today's harvest must be a lot, and we are also going to get rich." ”
Finding that there was that strange feeling surging on his forehead again, Li Tian hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart, and at the same time secretly reflected on his vigilance, trying to keep his emotions from losing control.
When he had calmed down, he asked, "Are you talking about the harvest being the looted goods?" Didn't it say that it was not allowed to rob the people, why now?"
The surrounding Shun soldiers laughed, and one of the Shun soldiers smiled at Li Tian and said, "Brother, you are too real, Ruhou feels sorry for our brothers who are fighting hard, so you have to break through the king's order to set up a Biqi Zhenfu Division, and allow us to privateer some money." ”
Li Tian pondered for a long time, and pointed to the crying and crying small traders, "These people really can't hand over a tael of silver, and it's useless to catch them, so it's better to let them go." ”
The hawkers who were beaten and injured heard that some people were soft-hearted, and hurriedly begged for mercy from the soldiers around them, "Gentlemen, let me go home." These two pieces of silver are too big, and we have no money to pay......"
The soldiers shouted at the vendors that they were not allowed to move, and raised their scabbards and whipped the disobedient ones, and immediately knocked several people to the ground, regardless of gender.
Li Tian clenched the hilt of the knife again, and only by taking a big breath could he suppress the urge to kill the rebels, and kept pleading in his heart, "Don't let me kill the soldiers on the street, if you want to save these people, you have to wait for the opportunity to do it secretly." ”
He felt that the strange thought in his forehead was gradually weakening, and he had palpitations to stop the Shun soldiers from beating people, for fear that he would not be able to help killing those Shun soldiers now.
A soldier complained to Li Tiandao: "Brother, don't worry. As long as they arrive at the Yamen of the Fusi Division of the Comparison Salary, the clamp stick is like this, and it is guaranteed that they will pay the money faster than anything else. ”
Li Tian nodded with a cold face, indicating that he believed what he said. At the same time, they did not dare to look at the small traders who were crying out in pain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we really don't have the money to pay. ”
"It's so small that there is still a family to support, and one or two pieces of silver is enough for us to eat for half a month, so if we pay the money, won't my family starve to death? ”
"My child is sick and has no money for treatment. That's why I want to take out the furniture and sell it, so I have money to pay taxes. ”
......
The procession began to walk again, and the small traders did not dare to speak loudly. I just couldn't stop whimpering and crying, and at the same time I was chattering and explaining that I had no money to pay.
In the end, the soldiers of the Shun army did not let anyone go, and escorted the small traders to Fusi, the town of Biyang, which was the mansion that Li Tian had visited at night, and heard screams and wails from a distance in the house.
Li Tianqiang endured the discomfort on his forehead, followed the team into the yamen of the mansion, and saw that the Ming ministers kneeling in the courtyard were all injured, and the ground was covered with blackened blood.
Several people were tortured with sticks at the same time, their mouths open but they couldn't make a sound, and their throats were bubbling with blood bubbles, and they looked extremely miserable.
Wherever he looked, Mingchen trembled with fear, for fear that he had been picked and punished.
Li Tian was a little sympathetic to these official fans, but he could only think in his heart that he was pretending to be a soldier and infiltrating Liu Zongmin's important place, and if he was not careful, a battle would occur at any time.
He followed the team to escort the small traders to a side courtyard, where some small fish and shrimp were specially kept, and only waited for the soldiers to come to try when they were interested.
Those Shun soldiers dragged Li Tian to eat in the hall, there were actually big fish, big meat and good wine, but they could eat while listening to the screams and screams of pain, and the Shun soldiers still had excellent quality.
Li Tian drank some wine lightly, picked up some dishes casually with chopsticks, and deduced that he was full and got up to leave, and the Ming ministers and merchants who passed by when he left the hall couldn't help but tremble, obviously terrified of Shun Bing to the extreme.
He walked towards the gate of Fusi in Biyang Town, preparing to return to the Li Mansion as soon as possible to discuss with everyone, it is extremely unsafe to go out of the city now, so he can only get more rotten old clothes to defend himself.
But when he approached the gate, a group of Shun soldiers walked in from the outside, and Liu Zongmin, the Marquis of Dashun, was among them.
Li Tian secretly called unlucky, hurriedly lowered his head to the side, stared at the calves of the team walking in front of him, and secretly tensed his body and prepared to break through at any time.
After the group did not pause in the slightest, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his feet and walked towards the gate again.
"Stop!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded behind him, and Li Tian was so tense that he almost ran for his life with his legs.
He resisted the urge to run away, and slowly looked back, only to see Liu Zongmin looking at himself with deep eyes, and his body couldn't help but tense up again.
Liu Zongmin walked towards Li Tian with his personal guards, looked at it again for a while, and suddenly said, "You are with that general, why haven't I seen you?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Li Tian noticed that there were thousands of soldiers around him, and his scalp couldn't help but tingle slightly, and at the same time, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it in his heart.
He deliberately slowed down his tone and said, "The villain has just been a soldier, and he seems to have forgotten what the captain is called. ”
"Okay, good luck boy, I like you very much, follow me as a personal guard in the future. Liu Zongmin suddenly laughed loudly, and at the same time reached out and patted Li Tian on the shoulder.
Li Tianleng was so frightened that he almost waved his big knife, hacked the general in front of him to death, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Murderous people are basically moody, and sometimes it is just a whim to kill someone, and he has seen too many perverted warlords who kill people when he was on Earth, so he has the idea of attacking.
Liu Zongmin saw Li Tianzhi staring at him, and frowned, "What, don't you want to?"
Li Tian hurriedly said, "I am willing to be a soldier of the Marquis of Ru, only in this way can I live a good life." ”
Liu Zongmin waved his hand and said, "What is the Marquis of Ru, King Chuang has not been officially sealed, it should not be true." ”
"You go to dinner with General Ben, and in the future, you must learn to be a personal soldier who does not lose my face, so as not to be compared to other people's factions. (To be continued......)
