Chapter 64: Nosy
"Stop!" a righteous and awe-inspiring voice suddenly shouted, "Do you still have any humanity?"
With this voice, a figure flashed over, blocking Zhang Yu and protecting Ah Hong. This figure is not Chang Yuanzhou, who is angry, who else can there be.
Zhang Yu's face sank, and he looked at Chang Yuanzhou, seeing that Chang Yuanzhou was dressed ordinary, and he didn't look like a local, he was both surprised and angry in his heart.
Where did the ignorant passers-by come from, so nosy. He was about to have a seizure, but he saw that the residents were all angry and kept moving forward, as if they were about to fight.
Zhang Yu hurriedly retreated to the sergeant's side and said loudly, "What do you want to do?"
Chang Yuanzhou was sad and angry, pointed at Ah Hongyan and said: "Her husband died fighting for you, and now you are persecuting their mother and son. A three-year-old child is actually subject to military service tax......"
The old man on the side said with a bitter face: "What this hero said is very true, everyone's annual income is not enough to pay the taxes you collect, do you still let people live?"
Zhang Yu's face changed, and he shouted: "Stinky boy, old man, do you want to rebel?"
Chang Yuanzhou sneered: "Rebellion? If these ordinary people want to rebel, then you will be forced to do it!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a chorus of echoes from the surrounding crowd.
Zhang Yu took two more steps back, hid behind the sergeant, and made sure that it was safe, before he sneered: "Hmph, you guys are really bold." You don't know what will happen to the giant general, right?"
"Do you remember Double Happiness Town, do you remember how enthusiastic the people there were at the beginning, how excited they were, and what was the final result?"
The crowd around suddenly fell into a dead silence, Chang Yuanzhou didn't know the truth, and subconsciously looked at the old man with an inquiring gaze.
With tears in his eyes, the old man took a deep breath, and with great sadness, he said, "They ...... Slaughter ......"
Hearing this, Chang Yuanzhou's face turned red with anger, and his whole body trembled: "Actually killing innocents indiscriminately, is there any heavenly law here, is there a royal law!"
Zhuge Xie stepped forward, with a smile on his face, patted Chang Yuanzhou's shoulder, and glanced at Zhang Yu and those sergeants: "Aren't they the king's law?"
"Brother Zhuge , we can't stand idly by and watch today's events. Chang Yuanzhou said sharply.
Zhuge Xie shook his head slightly: "This is the territory of the Jiuxia tribe, and what kind of general's people are they, do you want to make a feud with a general here?"
Chang Yuanzhou was stunned, and was surprised that Zhuge Xie would say such a thing: "Brother Zhuge , do you want to see death and not save it?"
Zhuge Xie said lightly: "They are not related to me, why should I save them?"
Chang Yuanzhou felt even more incredulous, and wondered: "Brother Zhuge , if we don't save them, won't they have to be persecuted to death?"
Zhuge Xie's face remained unchanged, he sighed helplessly, and said: "What can be done if you are persecuted to death, if it is better elsewhere, it is ...... You want to be a hero, but you don't want to think about the consequences. ”
"Once you make a move, these dozens of soldiers can easily deal with it, but you don't want to think about who is behind them, so what kind of general will give up, what should you do when the time comes?"
"No matter how powerful you are, you are just one person, and you can't fight a country's army. When things get to that point, what will happen to the people here, and they will all die because of it, will you be happy?"
Chang Yuanzhou was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his clenched fists couldn't help but slowly loosen up. He knew very well that although Zhuge Xie's words were not close to human feelings, they were irrefutable realities, and such a reality was unacceptable.
Zhuge Xie turned around and whispered to himself: "It's better to let them decide their own fate, maybe it will be a good show......"
At this moment, no one can figure out what Zhuge Xie thinks in his heart, but from the imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, it can be seen that he has no good intentions.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie muttering and muttering there, but they didn't come forward and blatantly oppose him.
He secretly glanced at the sergeant beside him, and the sergeant understood, and immediately beckoned three or five people to walk towards Ah Hong. Soon, they grabbed Ah Hong and dragged her in the direction where Zhang Yu was.
Ah Hong hugged her child tightly, struggling and crying. The people around looked at this human tragedy, one by one with grief and indignation, and some old people and women couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned their heads silently.
During the dragging, under Ah Hong's resistance, the sergeant was accidentally freed by her. Ah Hong desperately tried to escape, but after not running a few steps, he was caught by the sergeant again.
The other sergeants let out a burst of laughter, and the sergeants who dragged Ah Hong felt that their faces were gloomy, and seeing that Ah Hong was still crying, in a fit of anger, they reached out to grab her child and shouted, "Look at you if you run again, fall to death first, you little ghost." ”
Ah Hong was frightened, hugged the child tightly, and the sergeant pulled hard, and the child was in pain and cried loudly.
"Don't hurt him, I won't run away, I won't run away again!" Ah Hong felt sorry for the child and cried out.
Several sergeants laughed.
"Brute!"
Chang Yuanzhou, who saw this scene in his eyes, finally couldn't bear it anymore, like an angry lion, he suddenly jumped out, kicked those sergeants away from behind, pulled Ah Hong's mother and son behind him, and scolded: "You beasts!"
The people around him were already bloodshot in their eyes, and when the old man saw that an outsider was willing to help, he immediately shouted: "Folks, we can't bear it any longer." They do this to Ah Hong today, and they will do the same to us tomorrow. If we don't resist, we will all die at their hands sooner or later, so we might as well fight with them!"
"Yes, these brutes, you can't let them go!"
"Fight with them!"
......
The shouts that erupted from the crowd had been suppressed for too long. The people rushed up and started with the soldiers.
Zhang Yu was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he kept hiding in the rear, shouting angrily: "Kill! kill all these untouchables!"
Although the sergeants had swords and weapons, the people resisted too suddenly, and the attack was too fierce, and there were clubs and hoes in their hands, and many of them were thrown to the ground before they could react.
The battle was fierce, and the people were overwhelmingly superior in numbers, but most of them were old men and women, and only a few dozen young people.
The sergeants, who were well-trained and experienced in combat, soon suffered great losses to the people of the rebellion.
In a short time, most of the people were injured, and even more than a dozen people fell in pools of blood, with no brightness in their eyes and screams of pain in their ears.
Seeing that more and more people were suffering, Chang Yuanzhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to help. Zhuge Xie was still indifferent, but shook his head helplessly.
Although Chang Yuanzhou joined the battle, he did not use the magic trick, and he fought with the sergeants, but only knocked them unconscious, but did not take their lives.
Things should not be too troublesome, he has a scale in his heart, which can measure the severity.
"Husband, why don't you go and help Brother Chang?" Zizhu stepped forward and asked Zhuge Xie softly.
Zhuge Xie didn't answer directly, but asked Zizhu rhetorically: "Do you want me to help him and help those people?"
"If there is justice, why don't you help, since it is a good deed, why not do it?" Zizhu felt that Zhuge Xie's question was very strange, "In such a situation, right and wrong are clear, do you need to consider anything?"
Zhuge smiled evilly: "You really don't need to think about it, as long as you open your mouth, I will help." ”
No one knew why there was a sudden and constant strange whistling and explosions in the crowd, or why the sergeants wailed as if they were not being attacked.
No one even knew why the sergeants who were still fighting just now fell down one by one inexplicably the next moment.
Zhang Yu was terrified to the extreme, but he could also see that it was a ghost-like figure shuttling through the crowd, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill that sneak attack guy first, hurry!
The sergeants rushed to catch up, and the people were overwhelmed and forgot to block it.
Zhuge Xie swept away the sergeants who rushed towards him with a cold eye, and then disappeared again.
Then, one by one, the sergeants quickly fell, and they were either unhanded, or had their feet broken, or even their hearts were cut out, and a terrible wail continued.
The air seems to be getting cold.
After a long time, the people's sanity slowly recovered from their madness. When they saw what was happening in front of them, they all froze. More than 30 sergeants fell to the ground, blood flowing, and severed hands and feet could be seen everywhere.
A light breeze blew, and the thick smell of blood hit my face.
Apparently no one is still alive.
In the face of such a bloody scene, the people were all pale and wanted to gag. Chang Yuanzhou's expression was serious, and he looked preoccupied, obviously thinking about how to end up after Zhuge Xie's nonsense.
Zizhu and Chu Qing's thoughts at the moment were almost exactly the same as Chang Yuanzhou's, they didn't personally intervene from beginning to end, thinking that Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie could completely handle it.
Unexpectedly, this is the result.
Chang Yuanzhou looked at Zhuge Evil, only to see that Zhuge Xie looked unfinished, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhuge , where is the officer surnamed Zhang?"
Zhuge Xie was stunned for a moment, seemed to suddenly wake up, and shouted loudly: "Yes, where is that fat man?"
Only then did the people come back to their senses and looked around, but they didn't find Zhang Yu, and it seemed that they had escaped.
Later, the people began to gather around, but no one dared to approach Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Evil, they just whispered through the thirty or so dead corpses, staring at Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Evil with awe-struck eyes.
In the end, it was the old man who walked over bravely, bypassed the dead corpse, and walked to Chang Yuanzhou and Zhuge Xie.
He was full of gratitude, and said respectfully and cautiously: "Thank you two heroes for drawing their swords and helping, all of us are grateful, dare to ask the two heroes with their surnames?"
Zhuge Xie secretly sneered: Hero? This title is very appropriate......
