(v. 177) Truth
"In the end, anyone with a discerning eye can see it," Wang Bo'an said, looking around, "Since I and Brother Yu appeared in your mourning village, this battle is destined to end in failure. If it weren't for Brother Yu's medicine and the end of the fight early, I'm afraid that these subordinates of yours wouldn't know how many people would die. You leader, I didn't expect that there would still be one. ”
"I Jiang someone treats my brother with heart and lungs, they naturally work for me, if you don't believe it, you can ask one by one, everyone is willing to work for me. Jiang Yanhuai said quite arrogantly.
Ling Muyu nodded beside him and said, "I believe this, your Jiangzhai master is also a character, and none of your subordinates escaped from the beginning to the end of this battle, but this is not worth the evil deeds you usually commit." ”
Wang Bo'an pulled Jiang Yanhuai over at this time, pulled out the long sword with the other hand, handed it to Ling Muyu, and said: "Come on, Brother Yu, after this sword is over, you will also complete the instructions you accepted this time." ”
Ling Muyu held Wang Bo'an's sharp sword steadily, looking at the "evil clouds and evil winds" in front of him, which was full of evil, making the incense of Yongquan Temple difficult to continue, and making the people nearby frightened, he slowly raised his sword, but after a while, he put it down again.
"If you want to kill, you will kill, is it humiliating Jiang to act like this!" Jiang Yanhuai shouted.
Wang Boan snatched the sword from Ling Muyu's hand and said with a smile: "If Brother Yu is afraid of dirty your hands, let me be the eldest brother's agent." As he spoke, with a wave of the long sword in his hand, he slashed towards Jiang Yanhuai.
Jiang Yanhuai also smiled, closing his eyes and waiting for death as if he was relieved.
The expected blood did not float out, and Jiang Yanhuai did not feel the pain that should have appeared on him, he slowly opened his eyes, but saw that Wang Bo'an's sword was firmly on his neck, and it was not really cut off.
Jiang Yanhuai looked at Wang Bo'an in confusion, and even Ling Muyu on the side asked him strangely, "Big brother, what does this mean?"
The corners of Wang Bo'an's mouth rose slightly, his wrist flicked, and he had already returned his sword into the sheath, and with a little left hand, he had unlocked Jiang Yanhuai's way. Jiang Yanhuai's blood was not connected at this time, his hands and feet were still sore, and he fell to the ground.
Jiang Yanhuai, born in Fuzhou, entered the Southern Shaolin Sect at the age of eight to learn martial arts, and after completing his studies, he passed the selection and entered the Fuzhou Army, and he worked in the army for several years, and was finally promoted to centurion. About three years ago, the Japanese invaded the coastal towns and were sent to drive them out
The commander of Fuzhou made Lord Yang command well, and returned with a great victory, and more than 200 Japanese robbers threw their corpses on the land of China. On the way back, Jiang Yanhuai, the right-hand man of the hundred households, gathered a crowd to mutiny, opened a killing spree, broke into the big tent of the Chinese army, slashed the anti-Japanese hero General Yang, and killed ten officers and officers who guarded General Yang. Wang Bo'an told Ling Muyu: "Actually, this morning, after I finished investigating Yongquan Temple, I also helped you investigate this Ailao Mountain. This is what the government said, the reason why the lord of Jiangzhai fell into the grass. ”
Ling Muyu listened to this, but he was very puzzled, and said: "Big brother, this statement of the government sounds like it is full of loopholes. When the whole army returns victoriously, the whole army will be rewarded, and if you don't let the reward go, rebel at such a time?
Wang Bo'an laughed, but his laughter was full of sadness, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, do you remember what I told you at noon? You are lucky to have never stepped into the court, and you don't know the methods of officials. 'Anti-Japanese heroes'? ridiculous," Wang Boan patted Jiang Yanhuai lightly and said, "Master Jiangzhai, tell us the truth of the matter." ”
Jiang Yanhuai was shocked when he heard this, but Wang Bo'an just nodded, and Jiang Yanhuai said: "That one, the commander did not listen to the dissuasion, and the army rushed alone, but he was ambushed by the Japanese and the brothers, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. After I got rid of my brothers, on the way back, I thought that this defeat would greatly damage the prestige of our army, and I was afraid that I would be punished from above, so my heart was low. Unexpectedly, after we caught up with the command and embassy headquarters on the return journey, we found that the Chinese army tent was singing and dancing, and there was laughter. I asked Lord Yang, if you lost the battle, are you not afraid of being punished by your boss? But he was full of wine and praised me with a smile, "If you lose the battle? ’”
"Naturally, I was completely confused at the time, and thought that the generals were crazy, but the adjutant general told me that if more than 200 people were beheaded, I would not be able to run away if I was properly promoted and made a fortune. I ran to take a look, but I really found more than 200 heads of people who invited merit. At that time, I wondered if it was the generals who broke through the siege and ran into the Lingyi branch of the Japanese army. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, the defeated army, even if it really encountered, how could it be victorious and behead more than 200 people? Later, I found out," Ling Muyu heard Jiang Yanhuai say this, but he was shocked to find that this bearded man, who was calm in the face of life and death, continued with tears in his eyes at this time: "Those more than 200 heads are all the heads of the people of my Fuzhou. ”
Ling Muyu was shocked when he heard this, but Wang Boan seemed to know about it, but his face still revealed anger.
Jiang Yanhuai bites
Gnashing his teeth, he said: "These brutes, afraid that the matter of losing soldiers and generals will be known and punished by the above, so they spent money to buy off Shangguan, and found a small village, slaughtered more than 200 people in the village, and pretended to be enemy chiefs. When I found out, I was so angry that my lungs were about to explode, and I thought against him at that time, and asked for the life of this beast, so I asked my brothers to discuss, and everyone responded, and there was no one who flinched from the battle. ”
Ling Muyu continued with his words: "So you killed the officer, lost the military tent, went up to the Ailao Mountain, and began to live a life of falling grass. ”
"That's natural, but I grew up in Fuzhou since I was a child, and naturally I know that it is not easy for the villagers to live, so I have always not opened in March, opened and eaten in March, and looted just to feed our big brothers, and, Shenjizi, you can go and inquire, although my mourning village is notorious, but the robbers are all big households, ordinary people, we have never touched it. Wang Boan said to Ling Muyu: "Of course, I also know. In the eyes of you decent people, it is always wrong to kill, set fire and rob, and I don't say this to beg you to spare my life, but this brother has said this, and I don't vomit or be unhappy. ”
