More than fifty people pressed against a large group of weeping men, women, and children, and rushed back to the urban management army's Nancheng camp. Several other groups of personnel had already arrived, and when they saw David Mo return, they immediately turned over and knelt down.
"The humble rank welcomes you sir!"
David Mo quickly dismounted and said: "No courtesy! No courtesy! No courtesy in the army! You guys are trying to offend me!" When he saw everyone getting up, he said to Yi Weinan behind him: "Push the prisoner down."
Yiweinan took the order and led people to suppress the prisoners in Feier Mansion and leave. The urban management army's prison was located in the southwest corner of the camp. It was originally built in the camp for the convenience of management.
Bluewe took two steps forward, handed a piece of official document into David Mo's hand, bowed and said: "I have already drafted the documents for countering the rebellion, and I would like to ask your lordship to take a look at it."
David Mo finished the document and examined it carefully.
"...Deputy Commander Fernand has been coveting the position of Commander for many years. Now that he saw that the position of Commander in Nancheng was lost to someone else, he felt resentful and relied on his years of military prestige to try to trick the urban management army into attacking the Governor's Mansion!"
"...Fortunately, Commander David Mo visited the military camp at night and discovered it in time. He showed his emotions, moved him with reason, and painstakingly persuaded thousands of soldiers to repent..."
"Unexpectedly, Fernando was so poor that he couldn't understand the painstaking efforts of the commanding officer, and he actually met with a soldier! It's all thanks to the governor who has been in charge of the urban management army for many years, and the soldiers worked together..."
"The sky is huge, thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, after a bloody battle, Commander David Mo annihilated more than 1,200 rebels..."
"However, there are also many thieves. Our army suffered more than a thousand casualties. The Nancheng Urban Management Army was almost wiped out in the first battle, and the remaining soldiers were less than 350 people..."
"Now the whole army is in mourning! Weeping with blood! Although this animal has been executed, it still needs to be cared for by the superior officer! Your Majesty, David Mo!"
David Mo read the entire text, thousands of words in a eloquent manner, every word was exquisite, but he couldn't find anything that could be changed. He couldn't help but sighed to Bluewe: "Adjutant Blue is so talented that Mo can't change a single word."
!”
When Blueway heard his compliment, he quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty's thunderbolt skills make me admire you even more!"
Although his words may sound like flattery, he actually means them sincerely. The urban management army has been ill for a long time, and if it is not reborn, even if it takes control of the army, it will have no effect in the future.
This time, while cleaning up the army, Fernando was removed from the big cancer, which will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for opening up the situation in the urban management army in the future.
When David Mo heard what he said, he turned around and faced everyone, bowed slightly and said: "Thunderbolt means also need your help."
All the officers prostrated themselves on the ground again, shouting: "I am willing to die for the command, Your Excellency! I am willing to live and die with the officers and men of the urban management army!"
Only Fuluye beside him reacted a little slowly. He didn't react until he saw everyone prostrating himself, and he also imitated their slogans in a decent manner.
David Mo's eyes slightly glanced at Blueway. The movements of all the officers were so uniform, someone must have taught them behind the scenes. It seems that only Blueway cared about etiquette the most.
David Mo quickly took two steps forward and helped the officers up one after another. Seeing the frightened looks in everyone's eyes, he said with firm eyes: "You are my commander! How can I have the courtesy of kneeling down! The first rule of my urban management army
Military regulations! You are not allowed to kneel before your superior! If anyone does it again, he will be executed without mercy!"
This time he was completely determined to abandon this bad habit. A man can kneel on his knees to heaven and earth, or to his parents, but he must never kneel to an official.
Blueway stood up quickly and wanted to persuade him again, but David Mo glanced at him coldly and asked him to retreat on his own.
"Did anything happen in today's operation?! If someone else leaks the news, I'm afraid there will be trouble again in the future."
David Mo frowned slightly when he mentioned Luo Zhiyu. His main target tonight was Fernando, and he didn't know much about the other people. What he was most worried about was that the news would leak out and his success would be in vain.
Bruwe pulled David Mo aside and whispered: "There are two thousand five hundred people, no more, no less. Pu Liyi and Nanake captured thirteen officers. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
David Mo nodded, as long as there are not too many people, it will be fine. Most of the urban management troops were in groups of three or five, so they basically grabbed one and tied them up. This is why today's operation went so smoothly.
But when it comes to those officers, David Mo has a headache. Although he wants to kill them all, there is not much evidence that can correct Fernando's rebellion.
So after he pondered for a moment, he said calmly: "If it can be turned into a tainted witness, it will be strong evidence for tonight's action."
There was a look of embarrassment on Bluewe's face. He hesitated and said, "If the thirteen officers rebel collectively, I'm afraid we won't be able to control the situation..."
David Mo took a breath, glanced at the neatly lined up soldiers around him, and finally expressed the worries in his heart.
"If we are the only ones speaking out, the intensity is not enough. When the time comes, Fuyede will probably continue to pursue the case, and the Kyoto Prefecture will not be able to let it go."
After hearing his concerns, Blueway pondered for a moment, bowed and asked: "The governor captured Fernando's family? What testimony is there?"
David Mo nodded and said softly: "Several of his wives and concubines revealed some [***] issues. They also arrested one of his daughters, and I heard that he also has a son who is studying abroad."
Blueway frowned slightly and continued: "I'm afraid these alone are not enough. The most we can do is to convict him of corruption..."
Having said this, he seemed to have made some kind of determination, and said to David Mo: "Why don't we do nothing and kill all these people without any evidence?"
David Mo shook his head slightly, he couldn't bear to say: "It won't harm my wife and children. We have done enough to deal with Fernando. As for his family... let's forget it."
Blueway wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately David Mo's attitude was very firm and refused to give in at all. This made Blueway a little angry, and secretly worried in his heart: "How can a man be so kind to a woman!"
Unfortunately, the concept of respect and inferiority he had learned throughout his life was very strong, so he did not directly contradict David Mo. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke again.
"Since your Excellency can't bear this, I have the guts to come up with another plan and let Fernando's wives, concubines, and daughters personally identify Fernando's disobedience!"
David Mo shook his head slightly and said: "Impossible... It is very rare that Fernando's wives and concubines can tell the story of corruption. Rebellion is a serious crime of genocide. These women are not so confused."
Bluewe took a step forward and whispered: "If you keep their surnames and threaten the life of Fernando's son, the chance of success is still very high."
David Mo asked doubtfully: "Save their lives? How can I, a small commander, guarantee that they will not die?"
Blueway coughed lightly twice, glanced around, and whispered: "I don't know, sir. The Grand Chief of the Kyoto Prefecture has a rule. It is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan. Each head only costs 100,000 gold coins.
Anyone who has money can avoid death..."
David Mo was shocked in his heart. He couldn't believe his ears. Chang Yin was the highest official in the city, and he could actually engage in such a business of buying and selling human lives.
"Is there such a thing?"
There was only a moment of silence in answer to him. Blueway nodded silently and also let out a long sigh. He was helpless when the country was in such a state. This was the reason why he would rather commit himself to a small urban management and military mansion.
David Mo hesitated for two steps and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I only have one hundred thousand gold coins with me now, and Fernando has a total of six wives and one daughter..."
At this point, he did not continue. The expression on his face made it clear that he did not have enough money to pay for this fee.
Blueway shook his head. Although he was surprised that David Mo had one hundred thousand gold coins, now was not the time to be curious. He continued to explain: "This money can't be paid out by anyone... Just embezzle Fernando."
Just remove the amount slightly."
David Mo did not hesitate for too long, and finally agreed to the matter. It was not easy to leave this matter to others, so he could only do it himself.
He ordered Brouwe to lead a team of troops to search Fernando's house again. He led Fulcom and a team of troops into the prison of the urban management army. Fifty people were left to continue to stand guard, while the others went back to rest.
Everyone accepted the order with a bang, but this time no one knelt on the ground. After all, no one was born a cheap person. Although everyone did not say anything about David Mo's military rule, they were extremely grateful in their hearts.
The urban management army's prison covers a large area, with 18 cells. According to Fucome on the way, it can hold up to 900 prisoners at the same time.
Originally, there were no people standing guard in the cell, but now the military regulations are strict, and ten soldiers guard the cell together. Seeing David Mo arrive, everyone wanted to kneel down and salute, but Fu Kem stopped him and told everyone what had just happened.
regulation.
The soldier quickly opened the cell door, and it was extremely dark inside. Several bright magic lamps were handed over, and several soldiers led the way with the lamps.
After walking zigzag for five or six minutes, they finally reached a fully enclosed cell. The soldier took out the key and opened the iron door, and a smell of sourness hit his face.
Fulcom quickly explained: "Sir, those thirteen officers are being held here."
After the iron door is opened, there are small reading spaces inside. Each area houses an officer. This kind of cell is specially designed to prevent prisoners from colluding in confession. It is soundproofed inside and cannot hear the movement outside.
David Mo said "Oh" softly, a murderous look appeared on his cheeks, and then said calmly: "Execute them all on the spot, no one will be spared."
Fu Kem immediately understood. This cell design was extremely vicious. Each door had a small hole that could be opened from the outside, and magically blessed crossbow arrows could be fired directly in. This was to facilitate the execution of those with advanced cultivation.
After winking at the surrounding soldiers, someone immediately brought crossbows from outside the cell. After thirteen muffled blasts, Fulcom ordered the cell door to be opened, and only corpses came out.
He was still a little worried, as each corpse would have to be stabbed twice more. Although David Mo felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw this scene, he also knew that this was the safest way.
After carrying the body out, Fulcomb took David Mo into the place where Fernando's wives, concubines and daughters were imprisoned.
Fernando's daughter was tied up tightly. When she saw David Mo through the light, she kept cursing: "You devil! Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!"
The other wives and concubines were quite honest. Although their eyes were filled with hatred, they were more filled with fear and they did not make any sound.
David Mo couldn't bear it, waved his hand to Fu Kem and said: "You guys go out first, I will talk to them alone..."
When Fulkom heard what he said, he glanced at the group of beautiful women with an ambiguous expression. He drove the soldiers out and bowed: "Don't worry, sir, what happened tonight will never be spread to the public."
Character!"
After finishing speaking, he quickly closed the cell door and exited without waiting for David Mo's instructions, as if he was afraid of disturbing David Mo's enjoyment.
