Chapter 255 Borrowing a knife to kill

Qi Biaojia was dragged out of the camp by a group of wolves and tigers. He tied Qi Biaojia to the flagpole at the entrance of the camp, and was preparing to start the surgery here. Cunbo is a skilled job, and he could not practice swordsmanship in three or five years. The killing of these personal soldiers under Ma Cheng was a force to kill, but he had never done such a meticulous job.

A little flag didn't know what to do, so he asked his superior in a low voice: "Master Baihu, what is the punishment for this inch piercing?"

"Idiot, let you not read much, but your inch is just Lingchi!"

"Oh, I know!" But the little flag turned his head and thought that something was wrong. Shouldn't Lingchi cut into pieces? The old guy in front of him had no two taels of flesh, and he could hold on for more than a dozen cuts, but it was absolutely impossible to cut a thousand cuts.

"Sir, this is impossible to cut into pieces, right? We brothers don't know how to do this kind of meticulous work, why don't you go to the kitchen to find someone to kill pigs?"

Seeing this little flag ignorant, the hundred households were so angry that they cursed: "Lao Liu, you are just a waste. The Grand Marshal said he was a scattered man, but in fact he was just angry. As long as we cut more than a hundred knives and handed the slices of meat to the Grand Marshal to see, wouldn't it be enough?"

After hearing what Baihu said, Xiaoqi quickly nodded: "As aware, he is much more knowledgeable than a villain!"

When the two were talking, their subordinates had already stripped Qi Biaojia's shirt off, revealing the bony ribs. The little flag took out a sharp knife of the cow ear and came to Qi Biaojia and said, "This adult, there are many villains who have killed people, but this is the first time I have done such a meticulous job. If there is any inappropriateness, please don't blame the villains. They are all in the upper and lower branches. Don't resent the villains on the way to the underworld!" After saying that, the little flag was picked up and reduced to the lower ones and started the film.

At this critical moment, a voice next to him said, "Stop! Stop quickly!"

The little flag and Baihu turned around and saw that the person came was Wang Xian, the chief of Ma Cheng.

Although Wang Xian is only a fifth-rank civil servant, according to his rank, Wang Xian is Ma Cheng's confidant. In addition to being responsible for military logistics, Wang Xian is responsible for daily official documents and affairs in the army. Now Ma Cheng has handed over the Military Intelligence Department to Wang Xian for temporary management, so all the soldiers in the army know that Wang Xian cannot be offended.

The little flag quickly stopped the sharp knife in his hand, clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Qi Shen Liu has met Lord Changshi!"

The hundred households also came over to see the ceremony. Wang Xian was able to care about these things and pointed at Qi Biaojia and asked, "Who is this person? Why do you have to use such a punishment?"

Wang Xian knew that although Ma Cheng was cruel and ruthless, he was very humanistic. Even if he committed a death sentence, he would only beheaded and would never torture people. At the same time, Wang Xian saw that although the person in front of him was torn and dirty, he could tell that he was in a red official uniform. The official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty were respected, and only senior officials above the fourth rank could wear them, so this person must be a high-ranking official in the court.

The hundred households heard Wang Xian’s question and quickly replied: “When it comes to Lord Changshi, this guy is Qi Biaojia, he is Governor Su Song of Lu Ni! Because he attacked the general, he was executed!”

Wang Xian was shocked when he heard that this old man was Qi Biaojia. Who doesn’t know Qi Biaojia now in Nanzhili? This is a rank-level official like Ma Cheng, and he is also a general with a 100,000 army. Wang Xian knew that Qi Biaojia’s army was defeated yesterday, but he did not expect that Qi Biaojia was also arrested and was sentenced to death by Ma Cheng.

“Okay, this

The official knows, now you will postpone the execution. I will go in and plead for this person!" After saying that, Wang Xian turned around and left, but after a few steps, he returned and said, "If there is anything wrong with this period of time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wang Xian quickly walked into the big tent, but the small flag outside the door was in trouble. The commander of the commander was to execute the execution, but now Lord Changshi refused to allow him. What should I do?

"Sir Baihu, what do you think you will do?"

Xiaoqi had no choice but to ask his chief Baihu. The Baihu thought about it and said, "As far as Lord Changshi said, we'll delay it for a while!"

Xiaoqi Shen Liu said in embarrassment: "Sir, what should I do if the general's military order?" Ma Cheng's army's military law was harsh, and Xiaoqi Shen Liu dared not violate the military law.

The hundred-hunter glared at him and cursed, "What? Are you afraid of the general, not the chief minister? Your monthly military pay is collected from the chief minister. I'll try it after you half a year!"

Shen Liu said this and said, "Ma Cheng's personal soldiers are treated well, and they have a monthly salary of one or five cents. This is not considered the daily subsidies for personal soldiers, such as the opening money (subsidy provided by the army), the military reserve money (subsidy for weapons maintenance), the night patrol money (subsidy for daily stand-up patrols), reward silver (rewards based on military merits during wars), etc. All of them include each personal soldiers receiving more than four taels of silver every month. In addition to Shen Liu's basic salary, these personal soldiers of Ma Cheng's monthly income is considerable.

While having a high salary, Ma Cheng stipulated that officers at all levels in the army were strictly prohibited from drinking blood from soldiers. After verification, no matter who they were, they would be sentenced to death. Therefore, Ma Cheng's army had extremely strong combat power and he would pay as much as he really cut off people.

Shen Liu was shocked when he heard Baihu say this and asked quickly: "Sir, what should I do? The villain's mother is still waiting for the villain to support her, so she can't cut off her military salary!"

Baihu cursed: "Fuck, will you lose it if you have a mother? The commander's military order must be abide by, but the chief minister cannot offend him! In this way, you go find a whetstone and start sharpening the knife!"

Xiaoqi Shen Liu was puzzled and asked, "Sir, this knife was just sharpened a few days ago, it's quite fast!"

Baihu scolded, "You guy is just a stubborn guy. How can you delay time without sharpening your knife? Do you have to ask the handsome man to whip you?"

When Xiaoqi Shen Liuyi heard that it was right, he nodded and looked for a whetstone, and began to sharpen the fast-paced cattle-eared knife in his hand.

Wang Xian was Ma Cheng's confidant and could enter the big tent without notice. At this time, the smashed bowls and chopsticks in the tent had been cleaned up, and a personal soldier was bandaging his wounds beside Ma Cheng.

When Ma Cheng saw Wang Xian coming, he quickly squeezed out a smile and asked, "Mr. Wang is here, is the journey tiring?"

Because Wang Xian broke his arm, he could not ride a horse and could only ride a carriage. In the bad road conditions in the Ming Dynasty, it was really uncomfortable to ride a carriage.

Wang Xian heard Ma Cheng say this and quickly bowed and replied: "Thank you for your concern. Zhenjiang is not too far from Lucheng, and the officials are not tired!"

Wang Xian wanted to plead for Qi Biaojia at this time, so he was able to talk to Ma Cheng. After saying that, he asked, "Marty, is that person outside Qi Biaojia?"

Ma Cheng's face turned cloudy when he heard Wang Xian say this, and cursed: "It's this old bastard. I originally wanted to recruit this old guy, but then I thought that this old guy would not eat the soft and hard way, and even put me on it.

The head breaks! My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't stand it either, so she wants to execute this old guy!"

Wang Xian didn't know that Ma Cheng was talking nonsense. After a moment of reaction, he realized that Ma Cheng was talking about what he was saying, but now Wang Xian didn't care about these minor details and quickly pleaded for Qi Biaojia: "Marty, you must never execute Qi Biaojia at this stall now!"

When Ma Cheng heard Wang Xian say this, he angrily said, "What? This old guy has no official or authority, no soldiers or generals now. Can't I even want to kill such a stinky old ninth?"

"Of course you can kill it, but you can't kill it! Since the Marquis has the aspiration to King Tu, he will buy the hearts of the scholars in the world. Qi Biaojia is an official in Nanzhili and has a good relationship with the Donglin Party and Zhejiang Party. At the same time, Qi Biaojia has a very good official reputation. If the Marquis kills him, then no scholar will come to join the Marquis in the future!"

Wang Xian was right. The scholar group in the late Ming Dynasty had become an important group, which was the Northeast wild boar skin of the Qing Dynasty. In order to win the support of scholars, he immediately recognized the various preferential policies of the Ming Dynasty for the scholar group after occupying Beijing. Even when Dorgon was in the most difficult time, he did not extend his butcher knife to the scholar group.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng was one level short of his ability. After occupying Beijing, he immediately began to counterattack the vested interest groups. From the Grand Secretary to the Seventh-rank chief clerk of the Sixth Ministry, he had to suck bones and marrow to make money. So when Li Zicheng was defeated in a stone battle, these scholars immediately surrendered to their new master, the Qing Dynasty.

When Ma Cheng heard Wang Xian say this, he became worried. Ma Cheng wanted to be a rebel boy and establish himself as a mountain. But as the saying goes, he can conquer the country immediately but not govern the country. Will he use Zhang Guozhu, Ma Bao and others as the cabinet master in the future? Gu Changwei, Xu Dahu and others as the Shangshu? Think about it, this is impossible, so after conquering the country, these stinky old masters are needed to govern the country.

Although these stinky old men are all hypocritical and beastly, they have to admit that these guys do have a good job in governing the country. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng suppressed his anger and asked: "Mr. Wang is right, but this Qi Biaojia's name is not very famous. It's okay to kill one or two!"

Wang Xian shook his head firmly and said, "Mr. Marquis, since Marquis wants that position, no one can kill him! Although Qi Biaojia is not famous, his master is Ye Xianggao, and he also has a close relationship with Huang Daozhou. Killing this person has a great impact on the Marquis' great cause!"

After Wang Xian finished speaking, Ma Cheng had decided not to kill Qi Biaojia, but when he thought that he was beaten up, Ma Cheng scolded: "But this old guy broke my head, I can't swallow this tone!"

When Wang Xian heard Ma Cheng say this, he laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, although the official said that Qi Biaojia cannot die at the Marquis's hands, he can let others do it!"

When Ma Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Do you find someone to assassinate this old guy?"

Wang Xian was speechless when he heard Ma Cheng say this. No matter who takes action, as long as he dies in Ma Cheng’s military camp, it is Ma Cheng’s fault.
