Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said calmly: "Let's deal with it~"
As soon as the words were spoken, the twenty or so soldiers who were being held were immediately executed on the spot. Of course, this was a school ground, not an execution ground. The methods used to execute them were strangulation or covering them with cloth soaked in water, but the two
More than a dozen people were strangled to death and the scene was horrific enough.
Yue'er was also frightened. Although her true identity was Elder Qianyue of Qianji Hall and she had seen many killing scenes, this was the first time she had seen such a casual killing without questioning.
Turning his head to look at Ma Xiaoquan, he saw that he was still expressionless, gnawing the chicken drumstick in his hand indifferently. The two dozen people who were killed in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Yue'er felt frightened in her heart. She remembered that on the way to Wangyue Town, Wan Shanhe had shown cowardice and helplessness. How come it has changed so much now, and... these two thousand soldiers,
You actually obeyed his words, what happened?
"Wan Shanhe (Ma Xiaoquan) is probably pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger..." Yue'er felt certain in her heart.
...
"Bah~~" Ma Xiaoquan spat out the chicken leg bone in his mouth, patted his greasy hands, raised his head and asked: "Is everything solved?"
A soldier said: "Hui Shizi, it's solved~"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said, "Have they all been solved? I remember that there were about thirty people who ran out, right? Why did they only capture a dozen or so? Where are the rest?"
The soldiers standing in the front row were extremely frightened, and the popping sound kept sounding. In the blink of an eye, nearly two thousand people all knelt down. This scene was very grand.
Mayor Wangyue was also shocked. He remembered that when Prince Shanhe came to Wangyue Town, these soldiers clearly seemed to be disobedient. What was going on? What happened in the school grounds?
"I'll ask again, where are the remaining people?" Ma Xiaoquan said calmly.
A soldier replied: "Hui...hui Shizi, let them run away..."
"Run away? There are nearly 2,000 of you, and you arrested about thirty of them, but you still let them run away? Are you all losers?"
Zhang Youcai stepped forward and suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, actually it's not a bad thing that they ran away."
"Huh? Go on~"
Zhang Youcai glanced at the two thousand soldiers kneeling in front of him and whispered: "They are just running to Heishui City. The prince can definitely repair a book and send it back. No matter what Zhao Zijin says, he will not be able to save them."
...And at that time, they hated Zhao Zijin because he couldn't protect them. Your Excellency will extend an olive branch at that time... Hehe..."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted, nodded and said, "You're talented, you really have a great idea that kills two birds with one stone. I'm afraid you're the only one who can do it~"
Zhang Youcai nodded: "Don't worry, sir. Wangyue Town is not far from Heishui City. You can send me fifty people, and I will come back~"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, stretched out his hand and randomly pointed out fifty people to Zhang Youcai. The fifty people came out respectfully and stood behind Zhang Youcai.
Yue'er stared at the fifty soldiers with wide eyes, thinking: What happened before, and why Wan Shanhe (Ma Xiaoquan) tamed these people so easily? Could it be that these people have something in his hands?
After gathering her thoughts, Yue'er decided to find an opportunity to ask a certain soldier.
...
Watching Zhang Youcai leading fifty people slowly away, Mayor Wangyue was too embarrassed to stay at the school grounds. He thought that Ma Xiaoquan had given him away, so he just found an excuse and ran away. As for the compensation that Ma Xiaoquan said, good guy, so
There are many people here, and they are all very obedient soldiers. How dare you ask them for compensation? I am afraid that I want to die soon.
After Mayor Wangyue left, Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction, walked up to the soldiers who were standing neatly, and said loudly: "I am very dissatisfied with your performance today. There are nearly two thousand of you, and if you arrest more than thirty people, you will escape."
Drop a few. After you go down, I need you to reflect carefully. If anyone is not convinced, feel free to come to me, but I will bear the consequences if I say something ugly~" After that, Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said, "You can rest where you are.
~" After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan left with his hands behind his back.
Yue'er's eyes widened and she followed Ma Xiaoshen away, leaving behind a team of nearly two thousand soldiers.
For a long time after Ma Xiaoquan left, none of these soldiers dared to sit down and rest. Everyone has seen the methods of the previous prince. Anyone who doesn't want to live or is tired of living can just challenge him.
In this way, these two thousand people fell asleep standing up. Although some people fell down and became confused after falling asleep, when Ma Xiaoquan came the next day, he did not hold these people responsible, but smiled very kindly and left.
Pass.
What the soldiers feared the most was their commanders, who seemed harmless to humans and animals at ordinary times, but were ruthless in management. Prince Shanhe was exactly such a person.
...
When he left Wangyue Town, Zhang Youcai had not returned yet, but he sent a soldier back to report to Ma Xiaoquan, saying that the deserters were indeed in Heishui City and had been captured, but in some details, the crown prince's support was needed.
.....
Zhang Youcai supported what he said. Ma Xiaoquan naturally understood that he had no intention of keeping any of the escaped soldiers. Even if he caught them, they would still be executed according to military law. But since they ran to Heishui City
, then naturally it needs to be whitewashed.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped the large army and stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "Youcai just reported the news of the deserters to me. Do you want to know the result?"
The soldiers didn't dare to ask, but they definitely wanted to know.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and deliberately put on a sarcastic look: "I think they are all Zhao Zijin's people. They went to Heishui City, but Zhao Zijin didn't recognize any of them. You also know that deserters not only have to be dealt with according to military law, but also
It will harm their families... So their families have been arranged to be sent to Hongzhou..." As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan took out a letter from his pocket. This letter was
Written by Zhang Youcai, the letter also contains the names of the deserters and seven or eight fingerprints.
Ma Xiaoquan showed the letter to everyone and said: "This is a letter written to me by a talented person. I believe some of you are literate, so please pass it on and take a look. You will all understand what it is."
Yue'er took the letter from Ma Xiaoquan's hand and handed it to the nearest soldier. Because not all soldiers were literate, it was passed on very quickly.
After burning the incense, the letter was returned to Ma Xiaoquan's hands.
Ma Xiaoquan put the letter away and said: "I know you people may still be unconvinced. Of course, you may also think that I am lying. Of course, you may have other backers behind you, but...
.. What I want to say is that from today on, you only belong to me, and your family also belongs to me, Wanshanhe. I can assure you that I may not be able to give your family a prosperous life, but if they are
Heishui City has been bullied, so if I return to Heishui City one day, I, Wanshanhe, will repay you twice as much, and I will do what I say! Of course, your family members cannot break the law~"
Yue'er curled her lips and thought to herself, Wan Shanhe, you really can brag. If you tell your soldiers empty words now, you won't be afraid of your tongue slipping in the future.
Naturally, there were some soldiers who did not believe Ma Xiaoquan's words. Ma Xiaoquan was not in a hurry and walked to a big stone next to him.
This stone is as big as half an adult. If you want to pick it up, you need at least three or four people. Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his five fingers, concentrated his energy, and then let out a drink, and his five fingers actually clasped the stone wall.
The soldiers were stunned, and Yue'er was even more surprised. It was a hard stone wall. It was impossible for ordinary people to grab it with their fingers. There were people who could do this in Tianji Hall, but they were all
There are very few people, and they have to practice the skill of grasping stone walls. Usually the hands of such people are very rough, but looking at Ma Xiaoquan, not to mention the thin skin and tender flesh, his hands are white and clean, and he doesn't look like a practicing master at all.
Son, how is it possible, how is it possible?
Just when Yue'er was puzzled, Ma Xiaoquan had already picked up the big stone, and it seemed very easy. Then he threw it away, and there was only a "bang" sound, and the big stone fell to the ground.
Everyone present was shocked. No one could believe that Prince Shanhe grabbed such a big stone with only one hand and threw it away.
"Now... do you believe that I can help you?" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Two thousand people knelt down and said in unison, "We are willing to work hard for the prince's filial piety!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and did not let them get up. Instead, he said: "The work of dogs and horses? Haha, don't say it so proudly. I will write down your words first. I will see your performance later. Of course, as your boss, you
It also depends on my performance, we should supervise each other~"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said something: "Then let's call the prince the boss from now on. We are all rough people, and the prince is not used to it~"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said, "It's okay, you can call me boss, I'll listen to you~"
Yue'er stood next to Ma Xiaoquan and kept rolling her eyes. She was completely helpless at Ma Xiaoquan's rogue and disorganized behavior.
"No wonder Yang Jie asked Wan Shanhe to unite and unify this kind of person. As long as you give him a chance, no matter where you put him, he will not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Hehe, it seems that it will make Zhao Yuntai feel better~ Hehe~~"
...
At night, Zhang Youcai led fifty people to chase him. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan, Zhang Youcai pursed his lips angrily. Two soldiers came forward, carrying several large bloody bags. When the bags were opened, they revealed the heads of deserters who had fled to Heishui City.
