When Chief Zheng saw that the other party dared to attack them, he was shocked and angry, "Rebellion, rebellion! Kill me, kill me!"
All the yamen servants drew their long knives one after another and actually wanted to kill them openly. The secret guards were naturally not vegetarians. Seeing this situation, they were not polite. They drew their swords one after another and rushed into the middle of the yamen servants first. The secret guards were
The warriors in the army were not used to subduing the enemy and would kill people with their attacks. The swords were flying with blood flying in the sky. Along with the continuous screams, one by one the government officials were chopped down in a pool of blood.
When Zheng Captou and others saw the other party taking action, they killed people. They were so fierce that they were so frightened that they rushed out of the tavern and fired signal rockets. At this moment, the government officials escaped and ran around Zheng Captou.
Zheng Zheng looked towards the tavern and saw the very heroic young man walking out of the door surrounded by the thugs. He felt his heart palpitate for no reason, as if he was facing a group of ferocious beasts! At this time, wailing sounds continued in the tavern.
When the news came out, Chief Zheng and others saw through the gap between Yang Peng and others' bodies that dozens of government servants were lying in the tavern. Some were shouting to themselves in a pool of blood, while others were motionless. They didn't know whether they were dead or not.
Live! It’s hard for Zheng Captou and others to believe that someone is so bold as to dare to openly kill a government official!
"You, who are you?" Zheng Captou asked sternly and restrainedly. Yang Peng smiled coldly, "You don't care who we are, even if we are ordinary people, facing such unreasonable killings like yours
, you can also resist!”
"Humph! You are too arrogant! I will show you how powerful you are later!" At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps came from the street in the distance. Chief Zheng and others immediately followed the footsteps and saw more than a hundred swallows.
The sergeant of the Yun Army was running towards this side from a distance. Everyone was very excited. Zheng Captou immediately pointed at Yang Peng and said viciously: "Boy, your death has come!"
More than a hundred sergeants came closer. When the officer saw the scene in front of him, he immediately surrounded both sides. Zheng Captou immediately stepped forward and complained to the officer: "General, these people are openly causing trouble and dare to resist the law enforcement of the Yamen.
, they killed and injured dozens of government officials, please general, please put them to death on the spot immediately!" Yang Peng remained silent, watching how the officer would deal with it. The officer frowned, "I know how to deal with it, I don't need you.
Say more here!" Zheng Captou said obediently.
The officer looked at Yang Peng and asked, "Who are you? Do you have anything to say about what this arrester said?" This officer was just a low-level officer, and he had been awarded the title of Chinese Medal by a civilian through a martial arts competition not long ago.
The position of captain was then added here, so although he had heard about King Yan's orders for a long time, he did not know King Yan at all. If it were the veteran soldiers of the Yanyun Army, they would not have asked this question at all.
Yang Peng said: "I am just an ordinary citizen. As for what this catcher said, some are true and some are not true." "Oh? Which ones are true? Which ones are not true?" Zheng catcher quickly said: "General, why should we agree with him?
These rioters are talking too much!" The officer glared at Capt. Zheng, "Do I need your advice on how to do things?" Capt. Zheng didn't even dare to say anything. He was very resentful in his heart, but he dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Yang Peng was very satisfied with the officer's performance and told the story of the incident. The officer looked at Zheng Captou with a very angry look. Zheng Captou and others cowered, obviously very guilty. The officer snorted and then said to
Yang Peng said: "You have killed so many government officials. Although there is a reason, it is not a trivial matter. It must be decided by the local prefect! Come with me now!" Zheng Captou and others secretly rejoiced, and said to themselves: As long as they arrive at the prefecture lobby, they can still do it.
It’s not like catching a turtle in a urn!
Yang Peng pointed at Zheng Yamen and others, and said: "These servants are from the prefect's yamen, and these public servants are also from the prefect's yamen. We have a lawsuit with the people from the prefect's yamen, but we go to the prefect's yamen. I'm afraid there will be no justice."
Is that okay?"
Zheng Captou said angrily: "Do you have the right to speak here?" Yang Peng ignored him and just looked at the officer. The officer nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but this matter should not be handled by the prefect's Yamen.
Who should handle it? This kind of matter should be handled by the prefect's Yamen!" Yang Peng said: "I heard that General Duan Zhixian and General Cheng Shijie are both here. Both of them are jealous of evil. I believe there will be a fair outcome in this matter.
No matter what the result is, the people in the city will definitely be convinced!"
When Capt. Zheng heard this, he was surprised and quickly said to the officer: "General, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!" The officer frowned, "What's wrong? What he said makes perfect sense. This matter
Since the prefect's office is involved, in order to avoid suspicion, it is most appropriate for the two generals to handle it!"
"But, the duty of the two generals is to lead the army, not to deal with civil affairs. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? It is also inconsistent with the law and reason!"
The officer said: "Now there is no governor in Huaihe and Huaihe, and military control is still implemented. The general of one side naturally has the right to handle local civil affairs!" Then he frowned and said, "Zheng Capt., you are so obstructive, do you have something in your heart?" Zheng Capt.
His head and heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said: "The general said something serious, I'm just talking about the matter!" "That's good!" Then he raised his voice and said: "Take everyone to the camp!" More than a hundred soldiers agreed in unison.
, escorted everyone from the yamen, a few servants, Yang Peng and others, as well as the owner and wife of the tavern, to the camp. The people gathered around, talking in private, some shaking their heads and sighing, others full of expectations.
In the camp, Cheng Shijie had already gone to the military camp outside the city, while Duan Zhixian had just dressed up and was about to go to the military camp outside the city. At this moment, an officer rushed in and reported: "General, the city defense army has sent a report.
Said there is a case that needs to be handled by the general!"
Duan Zhixian raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Yesterday's family is not a local magistrate, why do you want me to handle the case?" "It is said that it is a dispute between a group of outsiders and the local prefect's yamen. The city defense army believes that the matter should not be handled by
The local magistrate took care of it, so he brought all the people involved here!"
Duan Zhixian laughed and said: "There is still such a thing, well, I will break it off for them yesterday!" Duan Zhixian thought it was just a small matter like a civil dispute, but he didn't take it to heart. He quickly left the room and came to the front.
We sat down in the lobby. At this time, there were already a dozen captains standing on the left and right sides of the lobby wearing helmets, carrying armor, and holding long swords.
The city defense officer rushed in, cupped his fists and bowed: "General, since the party involved is related to the local prefect, for the sake of fairness, I specially brought personnel from both parties to the general!"
Duan Zhixian asked: "What exactly happened?" The officer said: "A group of foreign merchants and the servants of the local prefecture's Yamen had a friction while drinking in a tavern and started fighting. Then the servants called the Yamen police officers, and the Yamen policemen tried to
After arresting those people, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the Yamen police officer was hacked to death by the other side and dozens of people were injured!"
Duan Zhixian laughed loudly, "How happy! I didn't expect that there are such talented guys in Lihuai!" The officer quickly said: "It's not very clear what happened, so I brought all the relevant people here.
Now, please make a decision, General!" Duan Zhixian waved his hand, "Is there anything else to decide? Isn't the matter already very clear? Those servants and government servants deserved to die undeservedly! You go and pass on my order, and this is the end of the matter.
Until then, the Yamen must not continue to pester them, otherwise the yesterday family will not be able to spare them!"
"General, you'd better ask them, lest there is any inside story!" Duan Zhixian thought for a while and said impatiently: "It's really not letting the yesterday family live in peace! Go and bring them in." The officer agreed.
With a cry, he ran down.
At this moment, a very rich middle-aged man wearing a magistrate's robe, with goldfish eyes and a catfish mouth walked in. Seeing Duan Zhixian, he quickly and respectfully saluted: "Exit
The official pays homage to the general!" The person who came was none other than the magistrate of Yangzhou, Zhou Xian. Duan Zhixian said: "You came just in time, this case is related to you!" Zhou Xian said: "This matter, I am here.
I heard about it on the road, and the official thought that we really shouldn't give those unruly people any face, otherwise they would not know who they are and cause all kinds of bigger troubles!" Duan Zhixian said angrily: "Yesterday
You don’t need to teach me how to do things at home!”
Zhou Xian was submissive. At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw a large group of people following the officer in. Although the hall was very large, it still seemed very crowded with so many people coming in at once.
Zhou Xian's eyes were searching among the group of people, and he looked unkind. He wanted to see who was so bold that he dared to scratch the whiskers of his tiger. He had already made up his mind.
, even if nothing happens in this lobby, he will never let go of those who dare to offend him afterwards!
Zhou Xian's eyes fell on Yang Peng's face. He didn't know Yang Peng, but he naturally knew that it was the leader among them, and his expression became more gloomy. Duan Zhixian's eyes swept around the crowd.
Suddenly he saw Yang Peng looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but be startled. He stood up suddenly, turned around and shouted at the officer: "You are so bold, you dare to arrest my elder brother!" Everyone heard this.
, were all stunned for a moment, and then realized, isn't Duan Zhixian's eldest brother the King of Yan? The officer was shocked, and Zhou Xian was also stunned for a while. As for the fast-moving servants and the tavern couple, they all showed disbelief.
look.
Yang Peng stepped forward, glanced at the officer, and said to Duan Zhixian with a smile: "Don't blame him, he did a good job, I'm very satisfied!" The officer finally reacted and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Little man,
I don’t know, I don’t know, but His Highness, Prince Yan, actually..."
Yang Peng stepped forward to help him up, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him: "You did a good job, keep up the good work!" The officer was so excited that he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes!" "What's your name?"
The villain He Bin." "He Bin, what a good name, I will remember you!" Then he said to Duan Zhixian: "This He Bin has outstanding character and talent. It would be a pity to be a squadron leader. Promote him to be a commander.
!" Duan Zhixian smiled and said: "Now that brother has spoken, what else can I say!" He Bin knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, His Highness King Yan!" A squadron leader is probably equivalent to the current company commander, and a commander is generally a commander-in-chief.
Two to three thousand troops were equivalent to the current regimental commander. In other words, He Bin was promoted from company commander to regimental commander in the blink of an eye, and his promotion speed was simply faster than riding a rocket.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to pay my respects to His Highness King Yan!" Zhou Xian knelt down and bowed, looking very nervous. Yang Peng glanced at Zhou Xian and said with a smile, "It's the prefect!" Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and hurriedly
He said: "Xiaguan's family dared to offend King Yan. I have violated the discipline of the official. Please ask King Yan to punish me!" At this time, the government servants and servants also reacted and knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. The couple in the tavern also
I couldn't help but kneel down.
Yang Peng murmured: "It's unruly, you are really unruly!" When he walked up to the top, Zhixian had already given up his seat. Yang Peng sat down and saw the government servants begging for help.
They kept kowtowing and said angrily: "Please be quiet!" Everyone immediately closed their mouths and looked at Yang Peng tremblingly.
Yang Peng looked at Zhou Xian, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Master Zhou..." Zhou Xian quickly promised: "I'm here!" He was in a state of confusion, not knowing how King Yan was going to punish him, even though he was his servant.
He had a conflict with the Yamen and King Yan, but as the prefect, he definitely couldn't escape the relationship!
"What do you think should be done about this matter?" Zhou Xian thought to himself, and thought to himself: If you don't give up your car now to save the commander, how long will it take? At this point, I can only let you die! Huh, who told you that you were so ignorant that you went to offend Yan?
King, you have implicated me in this, and you really deserve to die!
As soon as he thought about this, he said heartbrokenly: "I'm so ashamed! I didn't expect that the servants at home and government officials would act so lawlessly and recklessly! Since I've committed such a heinous crime, I can't escape the blame. What's more?
Stop talking about them! Please ask His Highness the King of Yan to clarify the canonical punishment and kill everyone!" All the government servants were frightened and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. With snot and tears, they counted their sins and only asked for the King of Yan's mercy.
Forgive me, some people even broke their foreheads!
Yang Peng glanced at Zhou Xian and said to those people: "It's useless for you to beg me. Since Master Zhou has settled this matter, you should go and beg Master Zhou!" Everyone hurriedly turned to Zhou Xian to beg, looking at the man eagerly.
Lord Magistrate, you really think that we are your dogs, so you will not stop saving us, right?
Zhou Xian didn't even look at them, and said solemnly: "The law is ruthless. Even if the prince breaks the law, he should be guilty as the common people, let alone you! You can only blame yourselves. Who told you to break the law!" Everyone looked at each other with expressions.
As soon as he saw it, Zheng Captou saw that today was doomed, so he had no scruples and cursed angrily: "Young man named Zhou, how can you pretend to be so selfless! I
Don’t you know, it’s true that we should be executed for offending King Yan today, but what you surnamed Zhou did should be punished a hundred times a thousand times!” The servants of the government also agreed, and they all risked their lives.
.
Zhou Xian was shocked and angry. He glared and threatened: "You died in violation of the law, why are you so resentful! You can go in peace, family, I will take care of you!" Everyone trembled and fell silent. Zhou Xian
They heard the threats in his words very clearly. Regardless of what he said sounded nice, about taking care of your family, the actual meaning behind it was that if you continue to talk nonsense and be dishonest, your family will suffer!
Yang Peng naturally heard it, but he didn't point it out. Zhou Xian was very proud when he saw that Zheng Captou had made them all surrender. He turned around and cupped his fists at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, please punish these people in the Ming Dynasty!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Chen Xiao eagerly.
Yang Peng glanced at them and said calmly: "This matter is not as serious as Mr. Zhou said." Zhou Xian was stunned and said anxiously: "If you dare to offend King Yan, isn't it a mortal sin?" In ancient times,
, collision and offending the king is a heinous crime, so Zhou Xian said this.
Yang Peng said: "I, Yanyun, do not have such a law! Besides, as the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty. Although they have offended me, they do not know my identity, so they do not offend the King of Yan!" Everyone heard this.
, I was so moved that I suddenly felt that His Highness King Yan was really the wisest master in the world! When Zhou Xian saw what Yang Peng said, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone, "Although the death penalty can be avoided, the living penalty cannot be escaped. You servants openly fight and cause trouble. I believe you know what punishment you should be punished." The servants of the Zhou family kowtowed quickly and said: "You know, I know.
This villain is willing to accept the punishment!" Yang Peng looked at the government servants again, "As government servants, you should investigate the merits and do not indulge in wrongdoing, but you are willing to become slaves for a few servants and openly persecute the people. Today I will
Are you convinced that your public offices will be revoked and you will be sent to a bitter and cold place to serve your sentence?" All the government officials originally thought that they were going to die, but they did not expect that they had escaped through unexpected twists and turns. They were extremely grateful and had no complaints. They all kowtowed and said: "
The villain deserves it!"
Yang Peng looked at Zhou Xian and asked with a smile: "Master Zhou, do you think it is appropriate to handle it this way?" Zhou Xian was thinking about things when he suddenly heard Yang Peng asking, and quickly bowed and said: "This is really the best way for King Yan to handle it.
It’s not appropriate anymore! King Yan is wise!”
Yang Peng then said to He Bin: "Commander He, take them down to record their confessions, and then send them to Shanxi." He Bin agreed, waved to his soldiers, and escorted all the government servants and servants down.
Yang Peng looked at the boss and his wife who were still kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "What are you doing kneeling down? Get up!" The couple quickly thanked them and stood up, standing there a little at a loss. Yang Peng asked Wang Kai to give them a
Then he smiled and said: "If I have time, I will go to your tavern to drink." The couple felt flattered, and the proprietress quickly said: "If His Highness King Yan comes, it will be a great blessing for the common people!
, Caomin..." She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Yang Peng chuckled, "You go back." The couple bowed to Yang Peng respectfully, and then left.
Yang Peng looked at Zhou Xian, "Master Zhou..." Zhou Xian responded quickly: "I'm here." Yang Peng said, "I heard some rumors outside today that are not very good for Master Zhou!" Zhou Xian's heart skipped a beat.
After a moment, he hurriedly said: "Although my ability is limited, I think I am quite clean. I am afraid that King Yan has heard some rumors, right?" Yang Peng smiled and said: "Maybe," and suddenly asked: "Zhou Luqiang robbed women of the people.
Do you know?"
Zhou Xian was unprepared when Yang Peng suddenly asked him this question. He was startled and said: "Well, that's just a child's nonsense..." As soon as the words came out, he secretly screamed. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble by saying this?
He looked very embarrassed. Yang Peng said calmly: "It seems that this is really happening!" Zhou Xian quickly knelt down and said: "It's because of the lax discipline of the lower officials. Please forgive me, King Yan!" Hearing Yang Peng's words, he had already been holding back for a long time.
Duan Zhixian, who was furious, shouted: "You bastard, how dare you do such a stupid thing! ******, are you tired of living?" Zhou Xian was so frightened that he was trembling and panicked.
Duan Zhixian was not relieved and wanted to go down and beat him up, but Yang Peng stopped him in time: "Zhixian!" Duan Zhixian breathed heavily in his nose and glared at Zhou Xian. Yang Peng said to Zhou Xian: "I want to
Zhou Lu must have been spoiled." When Zhou Xian heard this, he quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it was the lower official who spoiled the child. Please forgive me, King Yan!" Yang Peng asked, "That girl
You haven't been defiled by Zhou Lu, have you?" Zhou Xian said quickly: "Don't worry, King Yan, I didn't let him mess around, the girl is still perfect!" Chen Xiao nodded, "That's good. I'll take care of this matter.
I don't want to make things big, so you can handle it as soon as possible. Put the girl back, and then comfort her and compensate the family!" "Yes, I will do it immediately!" Yang Peng nodded, "Go ahead.
"Zhou Xian bowed to Yang Peng and left in a hurry.
After Zhou Xian left, Duan Zhixian, who had long been unable to bear it, asked angrily: "Brother, why do you have to be open to those bastards? That bastard's son actually dared to rob a civilian girl, so he just chopped off his son."
The dog head! And that bastard, I think he is not a good bird, he should be killed too! It is really depressing to let nothing happen!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "If the matter is made so big, the two of them will
Can the Huai River be stable?" Duan Zhixian said angrily: "With these frustrated birds here, can the two Huai River areas be stable?"
Yang Peng stood up and patted Duan Zhixian on the shoulder, "Just believe me, brother!" Duan Zhixian stared at Yang Peng with his eyes bulging, and sighed helplessly for a long time, "I really don't know what brother is selling in this gourd.
Medicine! I just don’t care! But I’m going to say something ugly first, and I will never forgive those idiots if they do these idiotic things again! When the time comes, brother, don’t blame Saxia for being reckless!”
Yang Peng laughed, "No wonder, no wonder! I think that Zhou Xian shouldn't be so stupid!" Yang Peng curled his lips, cupped his fists and said, "Brother, you'd better send a Xuanwei envoy over quickly, I can
I don’t want to pay attention to these trivial matters anymore, it’s so annoying!” Yang Peng said: “I have already thought about the candidate for Xuanwei, and he can take office today!” Duan Zhixian was very surprised, and Du Nan and Bai Tong were also very surprised. They have been
When you were with Yang Peng, you didn't notice any special person appearing?
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
