Chapter Eighty-Three: The Sin of Desire
In the shade of a volcano on the island, Cheng Yong was planning something with several henchmen.
"Sir Cheng, my brother has the courage to call you big brother. I'm not complaining, but I can't say it. What did we go to sea for? It's not just fame and fortune! But what is that guy surnamed Xu doing business? Doing business with these pigs and dogs, I'm afraid there is something wrong with my brain?"
The person who spoke was a Northwest man, with a long tag pinned to his chest, and at least seven or eight scars on his face, and he was a veteran.
Cheng Yong asked quietly, "Oh?
Shi Chang said murderously: "The woman is caught as a slave, and the man is killed and asked for credit, it's as simple as that!"
The rest of the junior officers also became excited, waving their fists and shouting, and the crowd was excited for a while.
Cheng Yong pressed his hand downward: "Brothers, don't be reckless! Do you know that Xu Fu is the emperor's envoy? Disobeying his order is disobeying the emperor's order, but you have to ......" He made a gesture of killing his head.
Shi Chang shook his head and said, "Brother Cheng, this is what you can't see." Immortal Mountain, Immortal Medicine? Do you believe it? Anyway, I've only seen loess slopes and caves in my life, so fuck the rest!
To tell you the truth, it is impossible for the person surnamed Xu to find any immortal medicine. When the time comes, the emperor will be furious, and most of us will follow and kill our heads. But if you can catch some slaves and go back, it's different. This can be regarded as military merit, and military merit can be atoneted! There are more than 2,000 people on this island, and all the sins have been compensated.
Besides, some of these little ladies are quite good-looking, let's find a few to dedicate to Your Majesty, maybe his old man will be happy, and he can make us big officials!"
Cheng Yong pretended to be contemplative: "This method seems to be reasonable......
Looking at the old coarse in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What is there that "can't be seen"? Which of the rumors in the barracks was not spread by himself?
Where do these people understand the tricks in the court? Before leaving, the eunuch Zhao Gao repeatedly emphasized that Xu Fu must not be allowed to seek immortal medicine. Otherwise, Li Si has the merit of being promoted, and no one can shake the power of the minister.
So Cheng Yong didn't come to supervise Xu Fu, but to find an opportunity to kill him.
Xu Fu must die, and these old coarse are the best knives. The knife can be thrown away when it is used up, and when the time comes, he Cheng Yong will come to clean up the mess and reorganize the situation, wouldn't it be a great merit.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
Shi Chang didn't know why, and asked in surprise: "Chief Cheng thinks so too?"
Cheng Yong said lightly: "It's a good plan, but you have to have a reason to do things, and you can't just do it stunned...... Are there any of your soldiers who are simple-minded and listen to everything you say?"
Shi Chang was stunned: "It's all this kind of person." ”
Cheng Yong nodded: "Then find someone who has offended you, and quietly bring it to this mountain shade, remember not to be discovered by others......"
A few hours later, a soldier of the Qin army disappeared. The chief immediately sent someone to look for it. They found the man's body on the back of the volcano. His head was smashed to pieces, and his purse was missing.
Who did it, it's obvious. Angry soldiers surrounded the islanders, insisting that they hand over the killers.
But where can the islanders get along? For a while, the two sides were tense. The Great Qin sergeants put on the Qin phalanx, which they were best at. This formation crushed the Six Nations, and it was naturally easy to pacify this small island.
But they did not dare to take a step forward. Because Qin Cha Xu Fu stretched out his arms in front of the islanders.
"My lord!" Cheng Yong said coldly, "The matter is very clear. These people are now the enemies of my Great Qin, and I have the right to destroy them as soldiers. ”
"No!" Xu Fu said loudly, "The matter has not been clarified yet! Besides, even if someone commits a crime, it is only the fault of one person, so why implicate everyone?"
"One person's fault, don't forget the identity of the deceased, he is a Great Qin sergeant, and if he dares to offend my sergeant, he is regarded as an enemy of the entire Great Qin. Don't forget, my lord, this is clearly written in Qin's law!"
"But this is overseas, not Daqin!"
"Your Excellency, you are wrong. Cheng Yong's tone was a little irrepressible excited, and he finally found Xu Fu's flaws. "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Since the day when the First Emperor sealed Zen, every grass and tree in the world is his property, and this island is of course also the territory of Great Qin. ”
Xu Fu's pupils dilated unconsciously, and he realized that he had made a terrible mistake. What did Qin Lu say? "Those who write poetry and books abandon the market" - two people will lose their heads when they talk about literature, what should they do when they criticize the dynasty?
Xu Fu muttered, "No...... That's not what I meant......"
Cheng Yong ignored him and continued to say: "Your Excellency claims that this place does not belong to Great Qin, and he harbors the murderer of the soldiers, and his behavior is no different from treason. What about the prison guards? I ask you, what is the crime of the traitor?"
The overseers bowed their heads and went out of the ranks, but they did not dare to speak.
"What are you afraid of?"
"This ......," the overseer whispered, "traitor...... The car is cracked, and the three clans are punished. ”
"Louder!"
"Traitor, Che Split!
Cheng Yong smiled with satisfaction. Waving his hand, he said, "Take this traitor down to me." ”
The two henchmen who participated in his conspiracy looked at each other and went up to twist Xu Fu's arm. Xu Fuwen is a weak scholar, how can he bear this? He screamed out in pain.
Cheng Yong thought to himself: Keeping this person is always a disaster, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible. So he commanded the sergeant, "Come on, cut him down for me!"
But no one did.
Cheng Yong was furious: "Are you deaf?"
But the crowd remained motionless. Cheng Yong understands that no one is willing to carry the black pot for him. Besides, Xu Fu is also a nobleman, if he is killed, he will be investigated in the future, and he may be charged with the crime of "killing nobles without permission". That's not worth it.
So no matter how Cheng Yong ordered, as long as he didn't get the name, no one agreed.
Cheng Yong also suddenly became alert. Wouldn't it be too obvious that I was in such a hurry? If it spreads out like this, it will be easy to be true.
So he pretended to say: "Alas, this official is in the same room as Lord Xu, and I wanted to give him a decent death." But his popularity is too bad, and no one is willing to help him get rid of it. That's it, let's go down, if you go back to Xianyang, you will have to suffer. ”
He also told the two henchmen: "Take them back to the ship and keep them under strict supervision." ”
Xu Fu's face turned white with anger, and he scolded: "Cheng Yong, you will be punished!"
Cheng Yong snorted coldly and ignored him, and slowly raised the order flag in his arms. The Great Qin sergeant approached with heavy steps. Wails and firelight immediately filled the air.
This once indisputable island wept under the ravages of iron hooves.
